Chapter 1 Typhoon Anemone

Next Chapter

The August heat baked the city, the attic windows were ajar, Chen Bin reached out and turned the fan on the highest setting, and the hot air swirled with the fan blades.

"I sweated again just after the shower, I didn't expect to just leave Jiangcheng and come to Songhu, which is another stove", tapping on the keyboard of his laptop, Chen Bin browsed websites such as Zhaopin, and couldn't help but start complaining again. There was only an empty can of Coke on the table, and there was still a lot of water in the cup, but it was not as thirsty as an iced drink.

It's been almost 2 months since he left school, and Chen Bin is adapting to life here day by day. Just after graduation, he left home thousands of miles away from home to come to Songhu City, I have to say that Chen Bin is very courageous, Chen Bin's college life was spent in Jiangcheng, which is a second-tier city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Jiangcheng is located on both sides of the Yangtze River in the form of three towns, and several bridges span it, which is very majestic. Those classmates who graduated together either stayed in Jiangcheng or chose to return to their hometowns, with the exception of Chen Bin. Chen Bin began to go to the off-campus internship in his senior year, and was originally working in a company that made game websites, because of his serious attitude and his own unique views on the industry, Chen Bin was promoted to department head in less than half a year in the company. With further contact and understanding of the industry, Chen Bin gradually found that Jiangcheng's game circle was too small, so he began to set his sights on Songhu and the capital. Later, when he graduated, Chen Bin refused to be retained by the company and resolutely went to Songhu, thousands of miles away. Although the salary of interns in Jiangcheng is very low, Chen Bin relies on the performance commission that makes his colleagues covetous, and he also has a little savings, so he finally doesn't have to be cheeky to ask his family for travel expenses.

"It's going to be a typhoon?" The QQ message that popped up on the lower right foot of the screen made Chen Bin's heart tighten, he had been living in an inland city, and he was a little nervous about the typhoon he had only heard of.

"Typhoon Haikui is approaching Songhu, Songhu urgently evacuates 200,000 people......" Chen Bin was clicking on the news and watching, when the mobile phone rang, and he heard a familiar ringtone, and he didn't have to think that Chen Bin knew that it was his parents' phone.

"Bin Bin, have you eaten?" Mom's familiar voice came from the phone.

"Mom, after eating, are you okay at home?" Chen Bin slid the mouse wheel with his index finger to pull down the news page, picking up his mother's phone while watching the news.

"The family is fine, I just watched TV with your dad and said that there was going to be a typhoon in Songhu City, and many people were evacuated. Why don't you come back? ”

Listening to his mother's concerned voice, Chen Bin's heart warmed, and the nervousness about the typhoon when he watched the news just now also subsided a lot. "Don't worry, Mom, there are tens of millions of people in Songhu City, there shouldn't be any danger. It's good to see the next typhoon, hehe. ”

"It's okay if you don't want to come back, so you pay more attention to safety these days, try not to go out, just stay in the house. Remember to take the time to call home every day to report that you are safe. ”

"Well, don't worry, Mom. My son came to Songhu to make a name for himself, and after he got mixed up, he went back to honor your two elders."

After nagging for a while, Chen's mother told her several times before she hung up the phone with confidence.

"This damn typhoon, it seems that there will be no interview opportunities this week. By the way, you have to go to the supermarket to stock up on some food, and it's a real hassle if you can't go out. Sighing, Chen Bin picked up a convenience bag, took his mobile phone and keys and went out.

Chen Bin's rented house is in Zhangjiang, Pudong, and there is a community called Yulan Xiangyuan. Chen Bin rented an attic in the Yulan Xiangyuan period. The attic layout is not bad, the entrance is the kitchen, and there are two houses inside the kitchen. On the left is the bathroom, on the right is the bedroom, air conditioning, electric water heaters, etc. are all available, but the rent is too expensive, several times that of Jiangcheng. But I don't care about that much, this season is full of people who are graduating and looking for jobs, the houses are very pretty, and the houses that stay are either very poor or very expensive. The rent is paid three times and one, and after paying it, Chen Bin almost has a small two thousand left on hand. Chen Bin's life itself is also very frugal, basically he buys vegetables and cooks by himself, of course, he eats more noodles, after all, it is cheap.

The environment of the community is not bad, these days Chen Bin often sees wild cats shuttling through the green belt around the community, and occasionally a few are not afraid of people, and they will come over and say hello to Chen Bin meowing a few times. There are a lot of fitness equipment built in the community, and some elderly people gather nearby in the morning and evening to exercise or chat about family life. Some open space has been set aside next to the green belt for parking. In Songhu City, there are many rich people, so there are many people who buy cars, and there are occasionally cars to make up for the parking spaces when they are vacant for a while.

Out of the small gate on the north side of the community to the back of the Jiafu supermarket, this is where the trucks of all roads unload goods to Jiafu, an eight-meter-wide road is crammed with several large trucks. Chen Bin walked through the gap between the large trucks. Several people dressed as drivers are lining up at the window of the unloading area, ready to settle the amount of the cargo. Walking through the unloading area, Chen Bin walked to the side of Jiafu's employee parking area, where a green barbed wire fence surrounded the motorcycles or bicycles parked by Jiafu's employees. At the turn of the parking area is the Dai Mei hot pot restaurant, and a little further on, it is a KFC fast food restaurant.

Chen Bin pushed open the door of KFC, and a cool breeze blew in his face, as if washing away the stuffiness remaining on his body, and suddenly made him feel a lot less sweat. KFC is on the first floor of Jiafu, the air conditioner is on inside, and many nearby residents and supermarket customers who have finished shopping in the shade have sat inside. Chen Bin wanted to dissipate the heat on his body before going shopping, but he turned around but did not find an empty place, so he had no choice but to dispel this idea.

Having lived here for almost two months, Chen Bin is already very familiar with this area. There are a lot of people who do small business in the neighborhood, all of them come from other places to do small business, there are many people who drive small black cars, and of course there are many thieves. The houses in the community are basically rented out to others to live in, only a few houses live in some old people, the community is relatively close to Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, many people who work in the park live nearby, Jiafu is the largest supermarket in the vicinity. There is also a Lianhua supermarket at the intersection of Yijiang Road on Shengxia Road less than 1,000 meters from the main gate of the fourth phase, but the scale is much smaller than Jiafu, so Chen Bin basically goes to Jiafu to buy groceries.

There were a lot of discounted goods on the first floor of the supermarket, Chen Bin picked a few tubes of dried noodles, and then pushed the shopping cart directly through several commodity areas to the elevator on the second floor.

Going up to the second floor, Chen Bin took two mentions of Coke in the beverage area and put them in the shopping cart, then pushed the cart and continued to walk forward. In the food section, Chen Bin bought some quick-frozen steamed buns and flower rolls, as well as a bag of apples and a lot of fresh vegetables. I felt that I had almost bought something, so I went to the exit of the checkout and lined up. There is still some rice at home, and there are also instant noodles, so Chen Bin didn't buy these things at home.

After settling the bill, these things cost more than 100 yuan in total, Chen Bin looked at the small ticket and felt distressed, and it was really uncomfortable to live a tight life.

Back in the attic where he lived, Chen Bin sorted out the things he bought, some things in the refrigerator, and some in the cabinet under the kitchen table. After cleaning up, looking at the enriched refrigerators and cabinets, Chen Bin felt very relieved, at least at this time, he would not feel that he was a person living in poverty. After doing this, Chen Bin silently prayed in his heart: "Mom and Dad, take care of your health, wait for me for a few years, and you must make a difference to repay you." ”

The computer was not turned off, Chen Bin used the mouse to close the pages of Zhilian and 51job, and skillfully opened the NGA forum to browse. The NGA forum is a hodgepodge of all kinds of people. Chen Bin likes to watch them chat, but he rarely speaks. At first, I came into contact with this forum because I liked a game called "World of Warcraft", but then I fell in love with a section that didn't talk about Warcraft, that section is called the maelstrom, which is jokingly called the toilet area by forum friends, which means that the posts in it will be flushed after a few days.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Chen Bin fried two side dishes for dinner, then put down the pot of noodles and ate them with the beef sauce in the refrigerator.

There were a few avatars flashing on QQ, but Chen Bin didn't care about it. After eating the noodles, Chen Bin washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then returned to the computer to click on the message, one was in the university class group, everyone was talking about finding a job; The other is the industry group, which was added by Chen Bin when he learned about the industry before, and the people in it were talking about the typhoon company's holiday tomorrow.

"The company in Songhu City is really good, and there are holidays from the typhoon." Chen Bin sighed, thinking that his job had not yet been settled, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I interviewed 2 or 3 companies a while ago, Chen Bin's posture was relatively high, and the interviews were all for the position of supervisor, but there has been no news so far, it is estimated that there is no play, Chen Bin thought about it, and was ready to adjust his mentality and lower his posture a little. Although I was a supervisor in Jiangcheng, I was doing the work of website operation at that time. Now my employment target is some game companies, especially some well-known game companies, so I still have to stabilize my mentality and be prepared to start from scratch.

"I don't know what tomorrow's typhoon will look like...... Chen Bin thought silently in his heart. Opening Baidu, Chen Bin searched for things to pay attention to when the next typhoon came.

"Well, the windows have to be closed, maybe the typhoon will come in the middle of the night."

On the network, Chen Bin turned off the computer, turned on the TV and watched the show. Now is the stage of the London Olympics, the athletes on TV are passionately challenging the limit, Chen Bin is enthusiastic, especially the current Chinese gold medal list and medal list are the first, which makes Chen Bin feel very excited in his heart, and a sense of pride arises spontaneously.

The wind outside the window was loud, and the window was whirring, Chen Bin looked out of the dark window and closed the curtains.

Later, Chen Bin found that there were some water stains on the wooden floor under the window, which turned out to come in through the hole in the wall with the air conditioner, and a lot of rain came in when the window was closed. At this time, it was pouring rain outside the window, the wind was tight, and the rain was urgent.

Chen Bin found a towel and a mop to wipe the table to dispose of the water on the ground, if the water does not dry, it will soak the wooden floor.

"The typhoon is quite a toss-up." Living alone, Chen Bin is also used to talking to himself. It is false to say that you are not lonely, after all, it is difficult to express the feeling of suddenly leaving the lively school and leaving the familiar environment. Fortunately, Chen Bin is a very adaptable person who can always quickly find problems in life and find ways to solve them.

There was still some rain floating in the window from time to time, so Chen Bin could only pull the curtain inward, so that the rain that seeped in fell on the curtain, and then flowed into the basin below to receive water, which was also a method that Chen Bin thought of. The water coming in from the air conditioning hole is more troublesome, and the water continues to flow down the wall from the hole where the pipe is installed, which is very tricky.

"That's right." As if a golden light bulb was lit up on his head, Chen Bin thought of an idea for a while. Pulling open the drawer under the wardrobe, Chen Bin took out the xylitol inside, poured out one and put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, and then filled the chewed xylitol into the gap of the air conditioning pipe.

"It's finally OK, haha." Chen Bin smiled proudly, in the process of using his hands and brains, Chen Bin can always find a lot of fun.

The windows were whistling with the wind in the dark night, and some faint shouts could be heard in the distance, which then dissipated into the wind and rain as if they had never existed. The sound of sirens broke the dullness outside the window, and Chen Bin heard the sound in a daze, but he didn't pay much attention to it and fell asleep again.

Chen Bin didn't wake up until ten o'clock in the morning the next day, after some washing, Chen Bin checked the ground on the other side of the window, and found that the water leakage was much better.

"Yes, it seems that my method is quite effective." After Chen Bin felt a little proud in his heart, he stretched out his hand and opened the curtain, there was a wet piece outside the window, and the rain had stopped. Chen Bin habitually looked at the houses on the opposite floor, which were basically empty.

"I should have gone to work, and as soon as the typhoon left, I started to be busy again, I really envy these people who are working." Chen Bin soaked the milk, took out the biscuits in the drawer and ate them with milk, it seems that Chen Bin ate a little late this morning.

Turn on your computer and find that the network link is disconnected.

"What's going on, is it because the network cable is loose?" Chen Bin looked at the plug of the network cable in the house, it seemed that there was no problem, it seemed that the cable at the end of the router placed in the house downstairs was loose.
