063 Peach Blossom Luck
New year, new weather, the first day after New Year's Day, Meng Lan's good luck finally came.
Not too far from home, there is a medium-sized supermarket, the owner's surname is Sheng, called Sheng Yan, is a forty-year-old divorced woman, looks very peugeot, and has a daughter who is a sophomore in high school.
Probably because it is not easy for older divorced women to find a job, so they only recruit single mothers over the age of 38, and the schedule time is also arranged according to the time with children.
Meng Lan didn't know these at first, but she saw a recruitment announcement at the door of the store, so she went in and asked with the attitude of trying it out, but she didn't expect that Sheng Yan had a very good impression of her, so she made a decision on the spot to let her come to work the next day.
Meng Lan was very excited, and he didn't know how to thank others, so he could only repeatedly say that he would definitely do a good job.
Sheng Yan said, "Of course I know that you will work hard, and those who work here in me are sisters who are not easy to find a job, so everyone cherishes this job and works very hard, unless it is absolutely necessary, they generally will not resign, you are lucky, there is an eldest sister in the store who has found the second spring, and she will get married in a few days, so there is a vacant place for you." ”
"It's my luck, and it's also your kindness." Meng Lan said, "You suffered a marriage change yourself, not only did you not complain, but you became the boss with your own efforts, and you are also willing to help a family with employment difficulties like us, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a philanthropist." ”
"I'm a philanthropist, but I just do what I can." Sheng Yan said, "I am very optimistic about you, at first glance I feel that you are a down-to-earth and trustworthy person, my second branch will open in the middle of the year, I need a trustworthy person to help me, as long as you work hard, I will train the management!" ”
Meng Lan was very happy, and when he returned home, he told Shen Yu the good news as soon as he got out of school.
Shen Yu is very happy for his mother, and celebrates his mother's life with tea instead of wine, which is about to open a new game mode.
Meng Lan immediately grabbed his handle, "Are you secretly playing the game?" ”
"No, I'm just a metaphor." Shen Yu couldn't cry or laugh.
Meng Lan said, "Actually, it's not impossible to play games, and it's okay to play games to adjust your mood when you're nervous and tired, but you're already in your third year of high school, so you have to distinguish between priorities and priorities, know which is more important, and don't let games delay your learning." ”
"You know, you can rest assured!" Shen Yu said.
The next day, Meng Lan got up early to make breakfast, and the mother and son went out together after eating and got on the same bus.
Meng Lan sat on the ground for two stops, Shen Yu sat for four stops, before getting off the train, Meng Lan told Shen Yu a lot of precautions, and when he repeated each item and said that he remembered it, he got off the train with confidence.
The mother and son waved goodbye through the car window, and Meng Lan walked to her first job in her life with excitement.
Her job is very simple, she is responsible for the daily care of the fruit and vegetable area, picking up vegetables, weighing, replenishing, sorting out the shelves, stacking fruits and vegetables neatly, adjusting the retail price according to the purchase price of the day, and reporting stale fruits and vegetables to the broadcaster for promotion in a timely manner.
At first, she was inexperienced and seemed a little in a hurry, the foreman and another colleague pointed by her for a day, and the next day she had almost learned everything, except for the various codes that were more difficult to remember, and the large boxes of onions and potatoes were more difficult to move.
There is a male employee in the supermarket named Lao Ma, who usually does some dirty work and is more enthusiastic, seeing that Meng Lan is new and has little strength, he took the initiative to come over to help her work.
Meng Lan had rarely been in contact with men before, and he was very unaccustomed to his sudden hospitality, and he kept saying thank you every time.
Lao Ma's speech was very rustic, saying, "According to your thanksgiving method, I will be "unloaded" and scattered in two days. ”
Meng Lan was amused by him and was no longer so restrained.
Lao Ma's family is in the suburbs, the family was poor a few years ago, and his wife ran away with the children, but he didn't expect that the urban planning in the past two years was suddenly developed to them, and the demolition and relocation lost more than one million plus a big house, and suddenly became a nouveau riche.
He himself has a low education and no skills, so he came here to work and earn a daily expense, and drove his own car to and from work every day, and lived a very chic life.
In addition, he has a cheerful personality and has work in his eyes, and a group of sisters in the supermarket still like him, and they always like to tease him and play poor.
Meng Lan has a quiet temperament, almost never speaks when she has nothing to do, she is always busy sorting out the shelves by herself, helping some elderly people pick vegetables and fruits, Lao Ma thinks that she is different from those babbling girls, and she uses excuses to help talk to her when she has nothing to do.
Meng Lan rarely answered, always listened quietly, and was done with a smile after listening.
But it was this indifferent smile, which made the old horse feel ape, and he actually wanted to pursue her.
There is a sister in the supermarket who is interested in Lao Ma, and thinks that his family has a car, a house and a deposit, and is an ideal candidate for remarriage, so he has been taking special care of Lao Ma, hoping that Lao Ma can understand her heart.
Now that Meng Lan has just come, he has hooked away the soul of Lao Ma, and the sisters are angry, and they look at Meng Lan unpleasantly and secretly.
Meng Lan was unaware of this.
Compared with other districts, the work in the fruit and vegetable area is very heavy, Meng Lan didn't think at first, as soon as the freshness of the first three days passed, the symptoms of back pain and leg cramps came, and on the fourth day, the work was not as good as before.
The old horse asked her what was wrong, and she said that it was cold on the way back and forth.
The old horse took over her work and let her sit and rest.
Of course, Meng Lan couldn't rest, he still kept picking up vegetables and sorting vegetables, sorting out the shelves and cleaning, but the heavy work was snatched away by the old horse.
After getting off work at night, Lao Ma said that waiting for the bus is strangely cold, anyway, your home is not far away, and I just happened to pick you up by the way, so as not to let you blow the wind and get cold.
Meng Lan politely refused, but in the end, he was reluctant to give up and took his hitchhike away.
Unexpectedly, the store exploded the next day, and everyone was secretly talking about her and Lao Ma, some people said that they had noses and eyes, that she invited Lao Ma to her house, and went upstairs to drink tea or something.
Meng Lan didn't know at first, but Sheng Yan heard about it and took the initiative to call her to the office to ask.
Sheng Yan said, "The old horse man is good, but you two are not all the way, to put it bluntly, you are Yangchun Baixue, he is from Xiariba, don't look at him as a demolition household, but if you follow him, you will lower your value." ”
Meng Lan was startled and said, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Don't you know?" Sheng Yan told her the gossip she had heard, and said, "I'm really optimistic about you and want to cultivate you, don't get dizzy before you start." ”
Meng Lan couldn't cry or laugh, "How is it possible, my ex-husband's annual income is one million, and I didn't hesitate to share it with him, how could I fall in love with Lao Ma's demolition fee?" ”
I didn't expect that the wall had ears, and these words were heard by someone with a heart and relayed to Lao Ma.
Lao Ma was very hurt, so he asked Meng Lan at that time if he had said such a thing, and if he really looked down on him.
Meng Lan was shocked, he didn't expect that there would be such a mess in a place where there were more than a dozen people, and there was gossip where there were women.
Meng Lan solemnly told Lao Ma about his situation, and then explained, "I said this just to prove that I am not a person who cares about money, and I have decided since the day of the divorce that I will not remarry, so please keep your distance from me in the future, if I do something that makes you misunderstand, please forgive me!" ”
The old horse was even more injured.
At noon, Wei Cheng called Meng Lan and asked her if she had adapted to her new job and was she tired?
Meng Lan said that the work was okay, but the interpersonal relationship was messed up before it began.
Wei Cheng asked her what was wrong, and she told her what had happened in a very worried manner.
Wei Cheng couldn't laugh over there, and said, "You are so lucky, there are so many women, the nouveau riche has taken a fancy to you at a glance." ”
Meng Lan said, "Don't be sarcastic about me, I'm annoying!" ”
Wei Cheng said, "What's so bothering about this little thing, I'll pick you up at night." ”
In the evening, Wei Cheng personally drove a luxury car to pick up Meng Lan, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a graceful demeanor, blinding a group of middle-aged women.
Wei Cheng helped Meng Lan carry her bag, and when she got into the car, she took the initiative to pull the car door and close the car door, her movements were elegant and gentlemanly, and even Sheng Yan's eyes were about to fly out.
Meng Lan got into the car and blamed Wei Cheng, "You have made this battle too big, and people will talk about me even more when you turn around." ”
Wei Cheng said, "Then I don't care, I have to let that old man die to pursue your heart anyway, otherwise I will die when I think of such a person revolving around you every day." ”
Meng Lan smiled, "Why are you called an old man, you two are about the same age." ”
"Then if you had to choose between the two of us, who would you choose?" Wei Cheng asked.
"I don't choose anybody." Meng Lan said with a straight face, "Wei Cheng, I understand your thoughts, but I'll be honest, after my marriage with Ji Hong Chujun, I have really completely lost my heart to marriage, I don't want to reconsider the matter of marriage, I just want to live in peace and security with my son, this is what I say, please understand me." ”
"I understand you." Wei Cheng said, "But I don't want to go against my heart, I've been waiting for you for twenty years, I originally thought that you were happy, and I was willing to bless you even if I was hopeless in this life, but now that you are divorced, God has given me a new hope and given me the opportunity to pursue you again, if it is you, how do you persuade yourself to give up?" ”
"I don't know how to persuade him." Meng Lan said, "Everyone's feelings deserve to be respected, even if it's an old horse, I won't hit him badly, I respect the feelings of each of you, but I respect my own feelings more, I know that once people fall into obsession, no one will persuade them to turn back, but I have to tell you, I won't be moved to dedicate myself because of this, I hope you can understand, okay?" ”
"I understand." Wei Cheng said, "It's your business to accept it or not, it's my business whether to give up or not, even if you don't accept my wishes, please continue to treat me as a good friend, this is my only request, okay?" ”
Meng Lan fell silent, and just when Wei Cheng thought she was going to refuse again, she nodded slowly and said, "I promise you." ”
Wei Cheng put his mind at ease, showed a pleasant smile, and said, "You are a person who has made a promise, and you can't go back on your promise!" ”
Meng Lan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Am I falling for your delaying tactics?" ”
