Chapter 8: Finding a job
Concubine Tao just smiled, she didn't live for long anyway, so there was no need to break it up with outsiders in this matter.
Waiting for Concubine Tao to leave, Cai Jufen whispered to Wulan, the wife of the secretary of the battalion headquarters beside her: "It's very good-looking, but it's a pity that it's a person who doesn't live a long time, I think it's still Teacher Xiao Meng, who is gentle and versatile, and how nice it is to sing at the party." ”
Ulan smiled: "It's a pity that the squadron leader can't look down on it, or he can't even go on a blind date and push it directly." ”
Cai Jufen sighed: "It's really a good man without a good wife." ”
Concubine Tao went to the store to buy a pair of cheapest slippers, and bought a bottle of dish soap, laundry detergent, a few packs of instant noodles, looked at the rice cooker for sale, it cost sixty yuan, thought about it and gritted her teeth and bought one, when the time comes, you can boil water to cook porridge and instant noodles, it is simply a universal pot.
Concubine Tao carried a bag of things and walked back, looking at the square vegetable garden on the side of the road, all kinds of vegetables were growing vigorously, and after thinking about it, I didn't know if I could pick some to eat, and I could buy it with money.
As soon as she thought of money, Concubine Tao wilted again, she found a total of more than 2,000 yuan from the wallet and drawer cabinet left by Concubine Tao, and recently spent some of it, plus the fare for coming to the new province, only 1,000 points left.
Before the money runs out, she must find a livelihood to support herself, and maybe there is a chance to go back? After all, this kind of full-bearded and full-tail crossing, it's more likely to go back, right?
Concubine Tao returned to the house in annoyance, first washed the lunch box, washed the clothes, cleaned the house, and began to sit on the sofa in a daze, when will this be? Zhou Cangnan, you must come back quickly, well, come back safely!
The lunch horn blew for a long time, and no one delivered the rice, so Concubine Tao thought that no one would come to deliver the rice, so she washed the rice cooker, added water and plugged it into the electricity to boil, and cooked the instant noodles.
As soon as the noodles were boiled in the pot, there was a knock on the door.
Concubine Tao hurriedly ran to open the door, and the little soldier who delivered the meal in the morning looked at Concubine Tao with a straight face, and handed the lunch box in her hand forward.
"I cook instant noodles......" Concubine Tao didn't finish speaking, and the little soldier had a temper and handed the lunch box forward.
Concubine Tao could only take the lunch box, and the little soldier didn't wait for Concubine Tao to speak again, turned around and ran downstairs.
If it weren't for the squadron leader's explanation, they wouldn't have come to deliver food, hum!
Concubine Tao opened it with the lunch box, it was mutton pilaf, although the little soldier had an opinion on her, but the portion was quite a lot, and there were two lamb chops in it.
I looked at the small half pot of instant noodles melancholy, and then looked at a box full of pilaf, it was too hot now, and if I didn't finish it, I would be spoiled at night without a refrigerator.
Concubine Tao sweated and ate half a pot of instant noodles, ate a few bites of pilaf, and couldn't finish it, so she found a piece of paper and fanned the wind vigorously.
She wondered if she would die if she ate all the pilaf? Or do you want to die and then travel back in time?
Zhou Cangnan came back covered in muddy water, saw that the door was hidden and pushed open the door casually, and saw Concubine Tao sitting on the sofa with her little belly in her arms, her hair tied high with a ball, sweat flowing down the broken hair on her forehead, her little face was hot because of the pink rose, and her mouth was particularly ruddy and attractive because of her spicy food. He was wearing a short nightdress with suspenders, and the length was as long as the thighs.
Zhou Cangnan frowned, closed the door, and began to knock.
Concubine Tao heard a knock on the door before returning from the fugue, wondering who would come? I looked at the suspender nightdress on my body, and when I first ate noodles, I felt that it was cool to wear it so much, so I quickly ran to the bedroom to change into a loose cotton skirt and came out to open the door.
Zhou Cangnan listened to the panicked footsteps in the house, and it took three or four minutes before the door opened.
"You, why did you come back?" Concubine Tao was a little surprised, didn't she have to go for a long time? Isn't life or death uncertain?
Zhou Cangnan pointed to the house: "Enter the house and say." ”
"Oh, oh." Concubine Tao hurriedly got out of the way and let Zhou Cangnan enter the house.
"I probably won't be able to come back for the next month or two, so if you can't wait, you can go back first. If you stay, the money I gave you last night, you can go buy a book and read it first. Zhou Cangnan finished speaking lightly, and glanced at the spicy instant noodle soup with a layer of red oil floating in the rice cooker on the coffee table, as well as most of the pilaf.
Concubine Tao looked at Zhou Cangnan looking at the coffee table, afraid that he would misunderstand the soldier's delivery of dinner: "I want to eat instant noodles today." ”
Zhou Cangnan snorted and turned to leave.
Concubine Tao scratched her head, watched Zhou Cangnan go out of the door, and the ghost sent her to stand at the door, and Zhou Cangnan, who rushed downstairs, said, "You have to be careful." ”
Zhou Cangnan just paused and strode away.
Concubine Tao was depressed, what should I do? A month or two? Is she here for a month or two? Or go back to the provincial capital? The rest of the money, if she goes back to the provincial capital, there will be nothing left, and she can't seem to go back to that home for the time being.
Thinking about Tao Shuanglong's anger and Zhang Ru's crying, he couldn't help but shiver in this August day, shrunk his shoulders and went back to the house.
She can go buy books first, and then see if she can find something to do in this town, and then stand on her own feet first.
With direction, Concubine Tao ate most of the pilaf again, and then continued to wander on the sofa like a bulging frog.
In the afternoon, it was not so hot, Concubine Tao changed into a sleeveless floral dress that reached a few centimeters above her knees, and went out with bare legs and fish-mouth shoes.
Out of the family home, I met many officers and soldiers, and they all paid attention to her, Concubine Tao thought it was because the divorce between her and Zhou Cangnan had spread, and everyone had opinions about her.
Out of the gate of the army, the asphalt road outside reflects the heat wave of the roasting people, even in the shade of the trees can not feel a little cool, the average temperature here in summer is about 39 degrees, the sun is exposed, the skin of the sun is painful.
Concubine Tao couldn't wait to stick out her tongue to cool off, and she thought while wiping her sweat, she was hot in such a dress, and those soldiers were still training in camouflage uniforms, so she couldn't go crazy.
The town is very small, there are a few shops on the street, and there are a few restaurants, and the restaurants are recruiting, but when they see Concubine Tao, they all shake their heads.
After turning around, she didn't find a place to recruit people, but people stared at her everywhere she walked, and some even stared at her slender and slender calves boldly, with disdain and greed in their eyes.
Concubine Tao was stared at uncomfortably, and deliberately paid attention to the dress of other women on the street, wearing skirts that were all ankle-length, or long-sleeved!
The exposed ankles are also wearing thick flesh-colored nylon stockings.
Or wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts.
There is really no one like her with two white and tender arms and thighs!
Concubine Tao hurriedly walked back, she seemed to be particularly undignified in the eyes of people here!
