Text: Beginning Career One
On the day of Xiaoxiao, Wen Shu received a notice of entry from Jincheng Daily as she wished.
Even in this era of declining traditional media, Jincheng Daily is also a high threshold, and she has to thank Liu Xin, the deputy editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper, who has a close friendship with her father, to successfully enter this once-popular unit as an undergraduate majoring in design.
Wen Shu, who just wanted to enter the special article department, was finally assigned to the entertainment department as a reporter, specifically responsible for reporting local food, and by the way, pulling advertisements. Although the national press and publication department once explicitly forbade reporters from pulling advertisements, today's newspapers are responsible for their own profits and losses, and if they don't want to take small countermeasures, it is estimated that they will not even be able to pay the hardware insurance.
Wen Shu was young and vigorous after all, and she was not satisfied with such an arrangement, and she yelled at her mother, who was known as a square dancer, that she didn't want to go during the meal.
Liangjiao didn't comment, put down her chopsticks, excitedly took out her mobile phone, and called up a photo of a handsome man whose collagen was about to overflow the screen: "You go to the Yingchun Restaurant tomorrow and meet Xiao Gao, this is his phone." “
Wen Shu was stunned: "Mom, can we communicate in the same channel occasionally?" ”
"It's the same channel, and I don't know a word in a foreign language."
Wen Shu was speechless: "Did you hear what I told you just now that I was going to resign?" ”
"That's right, even if you resign, you have time to go on a blind date, is there a problem?"
Wen Shu has always been indifferent to this mother, so she can only pretend not to hear it, and chew the rice in her mouth with relish.
Liangjiao sandwiched a piece of Wen Shu's hated eggplant and threw it into her bowl: "Make up some iron!" Don't pretend to taste it, talk to you, do you hear? ”
Wen Shu recovered her expression like chewing wax, pulled the rice in the bowl, and said in surprise: "Mom, this rice is so yellow, it is a symbiosis of crab and rice, look at how golden this is." After speaking, she slowly smashed the rice grains in her mouth, and continued: "The rice must be grown in the environment where rice crabs are grown, and the crabs remove the weeds in the field, eat pests, and the excrement is used to fertilize the fields and promote the growth of this rice." And rice in turn provides abundant natural bait and good habitat conditions for river crabs, the two things are mutually beneficial, forming a virtuous ecological cycle, no wonder this rice grain is full and bright, thanks to this growing environment. How much did you buy it? Not cheap, right? ”
Liang Jiao was so angry that she poked her mobile phone in front of her: "I told you to look at the man, I didn't tell you to look at the rice, don't say that you see the color of the dish when you eat with Xiao Gao tomorrow, don't let people think that you are a psychopath." By the way, and one more thing, don't let him know that you can't taste it. ”
Wen Shu heartlessly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth: "Blind date, of course you have to be honest with each other." ”
"Why isn't this honest? Honesty does not mean that you have to say everything, as long as you don't deceive people, you are honest. “
Wen Shu swallowed the meat: "You are taking advantage of other people's habits to acquiesce, and this is also a kind of deception." ”
Liang Jiaobai glanced at her: "Why are you as dead-eyed as your father?" As long as you don't say you can taste it, you're not lying. When you have more contact, if he is not a fool, he will naturally know, and if he really likes you at that time, he will not say that he will pull it down because of this matter. ”
Wen Shu disagreed: "Although I can't taste the taste, but I can see the color of the taste, not only can I see the color, but also feel its growth environment and its mental journey, which is a rare advantage in a society where the food safety situation is so severe, why hide it, I should tell people as soon as we meet, I am the messenger who can feel the soul of food in the legend." ”
Liang Jiao glanced at her: "Return messenger, I think you are a shitman!" You don't taste the food, you're just a porter of food! “
Wen Shu grinned facelessly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
"I can tell you first, give me less things to do when we meet tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me if you can't get married."
Wen Shu slurped her chopsticks and squinted at the photo of Xiao Xianrou on her phone: "Who is he?" ”
Liangjiao's eyes narrowed into a slit: "His name is Gao Xiaotian, he is the son of my friend's second aunt's family, a 1.85-meter guy, younger than you, and I have inquired about the family environment, which is very good." ”
Wen Shu stared at the photo and muttered: "Will such a person not find a girlfriend?" Mom, be careful not to be deceived. ”
Liangjiao snorted: "Lie to me? Who am I? ”
"You don't even know who you are, who are you not lying to?"
Pretty and arrogant, she took out a small book, put on reading glasses, and turned to one of the pages: "Gao Xiaotian, who lives in Chengbei Villa, is 22 years old and unemployed. ”
"Finished?"
"It's over." Liangjiao excitedly put the book aside: "Although this Gao Xiaotian has no formal job so far, and he has nothing to do every day, he can't stand up to being handsome." ”
Wen Shu couldn't cry or laugh: "I said Mom, can you eat handsome?" ”
Liang Jiao glanced at her: "I said, why are you young people so realistic?" Do you know that the beauty is delicious? ”
"I ......"
Wen Shu was just about to argue, but was interrupted by her beautiful mother excitedly: "By the way, I still have a few handsome photos of Xiao Gao, do you want to take a look at ......"
"Mom, Mom, calm down, I think, I'm in this situation, it's not a good time to find a partner."
The pretty mother made a straight face: "Why are you so difficult to serve this child?" I asked you to find a partner to marry as soon as possible, and you said that you would work for a few years first, okay, I asked you Uncle Liu for help, and finally let you enter a decent unit, but now you just reported that you don't work, what kind of trouble do you want? Let me tell you that the girl of my colleague in my unit is two years younger than you, and now she is engaged, I met Sister Li from square dancing, her daughter is dark and fat, and she dances with us, and recently found a tall and handsome rich husband, you look at you again, lazy and tendony, you are single by ability......"
Wen Shu hurriedly calmed her mother, who was becoming more and more irritable: "Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't work, it was because I was dissatisfied with this job that I had to find another job quickly, and I didn't have time to go on a blind date." ”
"Pull it down, how hard did it take your Uncle Liu to get you in, you can quit with such a good job, just like you, what good job can you find? Or take advantage of the youth and beauty, and quickly find a handsome man to marry. If you think this little high doesn't fit your eyes, there are a few more on my side, all of which I finally inquired about, which one do you like? I'll get in touch. ”
Wen Shu was speechless and pressed her mother's hand to pull the phone: "Okay, okay, you won, can't I resign first?" ”
Liangjiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her, put down her phone and picked up the bowl: "Isn't it over like this a long time ago, just toss blindly, and the dishes are all cold for you." ”
Wen Shu came back to her senses: "Dare to love me, I have been counted in by you?" ”
Liangjiao took out a piece of ginger from the dish, and the joking look on her face disappeared: "Don't think I don't know your mind, to tell you the truth, it was because Uncle Liu told me that the newspaper's special article department was going to be disbanded, so I asked him to help you enter the newspaper, Wen Shu, let me tell you again, your father has been a feature reporter all his life, what will happen in the end?" I've worked so hard to bring you up, and I will never agree with you to repeat your father's mistakes! “
Wen Shu walked on the bed at night, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, simply sneaked into her father's previous study, since the sophomore year of high school when her father left, she always likes to come in and sit by herself, talk to herself, as if her father is still sitting at the other end of the desk, listen carefully to her doubts, help her analyze rationally, and finally gently touch her head and say: "When you can't see the road ahead, just follow your heart, it will not be wrong." ”
Wen Shu knew that her mother stopped her because she was worried about her, so in college, she gave up her journalism major in order not to worry her mother, and now she finally entered the newspaper, thinking that she could jump from the entertainment department to the feature department through hard work, but she didn't expect the feature department to be disbanded.
Wen Shu dug out the yellowed newspapers from the desk drawer, which were special articles written by her father, since she was a child, she admired her omniscient, fearless father, whenever her father went into the most dangerous place alone to report the most real situation, she felt that she was a heroic father and extremely proud. Because of her father's influence, she is very interested in writing special articles, and during her school years, she also secretly submitted articles to major newspapers.
Of course, these things were hidden from my mother, until when I graduated, my mother was not satisfied with the job she was looking for, so she asked her to enter the newspaper, which was a joy from heaven for Wen Shu, but I didn't expect that this would be the case.
She raised her head and looked at the place where her father often sits, where there was an ashtray, and he smoked very fiercely when he wrote.
Wen Shu took out a "hibiscus" cigarette from the drawer and lit it, this is her father's favorite brand, when he just left, she took out her father's hibiscus cigarettes that she hadn't had time to smoke yet, and smoked them one by one. Since then, she has regularly bought this brand of cigarettes and put them in the drawer of her father's desk so that they don't leave them empty. Whenever she wanted to be quiet, she would come in and smoke one.
In the smoke, she tasted the seeds of tobacco slowly germinating at a temperature of 24-29°C. In high-quality laterite, the germination process is very slow, because it likes temperature, it almost always grows in the air of more than 20 degrees, and the sun is full of moisture. Slowly, its leaves turn from green to yellow and have spots, the leaf surface is fluffy and fall off, people begin to pick it, the mature tobacco leaves are steamed at high temperature first, or they may be baked first, in short, it is restless and uncomfortable during that time, and then people put the tobacco leaves through high temperature into the machine to sort and clean up debris and cut, its brothers and sisters gradually change from large tobacco leaves to small pieces of compressed tobacco leaves, and then they are cut into tobacco shreds, and finally they are forcibly added a filter, and finally finally, The machine packs them together, cuts them into sections, and packs them into cigarette packs.
