Chapter Twenty-Four: Although I am dressed in brocade, it is difficult to return to my hometown
In fact, heterosexual contact, at the beginning, there is a sense of novelty and vigilance, men don't know how mysterious and strange women are, women don't know how strange and different men are; I have been in contact with each other a lot, and I feel that it is nothing more than that: they are all physical mortals with five senses, four senses, seven emotions and six desires, but the style and temperament are slightly different, the male is rougher, the female is more delicate, the male is more fierce, and the female is gentle, and the two sexes have advantages and disadvantages to each other, so as to complement each other and attract each other. That's all, it's not strange, it's taken for granted. Just like Li gave Mr. Zhang a massage, at the beginning, he saw Mr. Zhang's luxurious clothes, full of jewels, fragrant, and the general manager of the company. These days, I massage her every day, for dozens of minutes or more than ten minutes, with a pair of hands and ten fingers, always on her shoulders, arms, and even neck, back, pinching and kneading, how wide the shoulders are, how long the neck is, how many bones and tendons, can be felt clearly, and there is no sense of panic and vigilance. Sometimes it's hot, Zhang Qian is dressed thinly, Li's hand is almost massaging her skin, Mr. Zhang's delicate and smooth skin and warm sweat stains can be felt, and there is no sense of panic and vigilance on both sides. He was just a job to earn wages and bonuses. Mr. Zhang, through his massage, relaxes the muscles and activates the nerves, the blood flow is smooth, reduces the pain caused by frozen shoulder, and chats with Li by the way, tells jokes, dispels depression, and is in a happier mood. Unlike before, when a person is lonely, in addition to work, he thinks crankily when he is free, and frozen shoulder is also painful and unbearable, and he cannot be resolved.
Over the past few months, Li has gradually become familiar with his special assistant work, and has adapted to it, and his massage skills have improved greatly, and he has been praised and rewarded by Mr. Zhang. It's just that he can't forget Tao and his son, his parents and brothers, he is busy during the day, he doesn't have time to think about it, and he always thinks about it at night and suffers.
On this day, Mr. Zhang was busy with work and asked Li to massage her. She lay on her back on the swivel chair, squinting her eyes and watching Li massage her shoulders, neck, and back, Li's tall and muscular body, and the meticulous, gentle and considerate temperament, made her feel satisfied and gratified. She enjoyed the comfort and pleasure of the massage while chatting with Lee. She asked Lee:
"I haven't been home for so long, don't you want your wife and children?"
"How can you not want to? My wife and I have been married for less than three years, our children are less than two years old, and the husband and wife, father and son have a close relationship, and they have never been separated. Li replied truthfully.
"Then why don't you take a leave of absence and go home?" Seeing that Li didn't speak, she said, "Afraid that I will deduct your salary?" No, it won't. I seem to be on top, but in fact, I can best appreciate family affection. Since you miss them, go back and see them, and I can grant you a week off. ”
Li shook his head, sighed again, and slowly explained the reason:
"I can't go home. Because I came out to work, my wife kept disagreeing and hugged me and cried several times. I said, I am a man, I have my own ideals, I can't go around the pot all my life, I want to take advantage of my youth, go out to work hard, and create a career. Don't wait for the young man's head to be white, empty and sad. If I don't mix up in Shenzhen, I will never go home. If I run home without being a human being, it means that I am incompetent and unproductive, and I will die at home for the rest of my life and never go out again. I made up my mind and wrote a letter of guarantee to my wife so that she would agree to let me out. ”
"That's how you came out to work. It can be seen that your wife loves you very much. Then, it's all the more time for you to go home and see her. Don't you want her anymore? Looking for another one in Shenzhen? Zhang Qian half-joked.
"No, how could I do that kind of thing. I dreamed of her and my son, and my parents, and my brother. It's just that I can't go home because I haven't mixed up yet, and if I go home like this, I'll be laughed at. ”
"You always say that you are a person, what do you mean?" Zhang Qian asked puzzled.
"It is to make achievements outside, earn a lot of money to go home, buy gifts for the family, build buildings, buy furniture, and get recognition and praise from the family and villagers; That is what people often say means returning home. That's what I thought when I came out, and that's what I said to my wife and parents. ”
"So, I think you're ready to go home now. You see: you are now a special assistant to the general manager, and you are also an official; The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, which is twice as high as that of ordinary workers, and many times higher than that of workers in your county; If you want to say that you are returning home, your two suits, ties, and leather shoes should also be counted! ”
"That's not enough. My promise to my wife is concrete! ”
"What specifics? Tell me how to hear and see how I might help you. ”
"Don't say it, say it and make you laugh." Li hesitated again and again, and was embarrassed to speak.
"Do you have any reservations about me? These days, we are in the same office, you help me massage every day, my ears and eyes, my body and skin, we are already very familiar, is there anything you can't say to me? ”
Li felt that it was not good to shirk any more, so he had to say: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, they are all small things in life, and if you say it, I am afraid that you will laugh at it, and it will also affect your rest." ”
"No, it won't. I'm willing to listen, you can say it quickly. Talking is also a form of break. ”
"Since Mr. Zhang wants to listen, I will say it, and I should relieve your boredom. Although these things I promised my wife are some things in family life, they are life events in the eyes of us mountain people. The first thing is to let his wife live upstairs; The second ......"
"You stop. What house does your family live in now? ”
"Stone House."
"Isn't the stone house stronger? Why do I have to live in a building? You don't have a strain in the mountains. ”
"Mr. Zhang, your family lives in Hong Kong, and all you see every day are high-rise buildings, how do you know what the stone houses in the mountains look like? It is made of mountain stones, the mountain trees are the beams, the mountain grass is on the top, it is low, and it is gloomy, and the sun has not yet set outside, and there is nothing to see in the house. Therefore, rich people still have to build tiled houses and buildings to live in, which are bright and magnificent. ”
"I see. How much does an ordinary person's house cost in your mountains? ”
"That's twenty or thirty thousand dollars. The main thing is to buy bricks, steel and cement, and wood, which is available in the mountains and forests contracted by the family, so there is no need to buy it. ”
"And what's the second one?"
"The second thing is that I want my wife to wear the most beautiful clothes."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "What is the standard for the most beautiful clothes?" Like my outfit is made to order in France, is it considered the most beautiful outfit? ”
"How dare we compare to your clothes? The most beautiful clothes we are talking about, that is, the trendy clothes worn by some fashionable women seen on the streets of the county, are only a few hundred yuan a set. ”
"You can afford to buy such clothes with your current salary."
"Yes. Last month, I sent home 1,000 yuan and asked her to buy clothes. ”
"It seems that you love your wife very much. Otherwise, why does a mountain woman, who is already married and has children, have to wear the most beautiful clothes? There are few people in the mountains, farming, hunting, and collecting medicinal materials, and there is no need for dust and sweat stains? ”
"That's right. My wife's name is Peach, and she looks as bright and beautiful as a peach blossom. She loves beauty and longs to wear trendy fashion like a city girl; However, due to the poverty of her family, she only wore a coarse cloth skirt like an ordinary mountain woman. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw it, and promised to make sure that she would wear the most fashionable and beautiful clothes. Of course, she was not told to wear it for farming and hunting, but when she went to the street and went to the city, so that when she saw her teachers and classmates in the past, she would not be laughed at. Lee explained in detail.
"You're such a lover! It seems that this promise of yours has been fulfilled. It is conceivable that Peach is so beautiful, she must be even more beautiful when she wears trendy fashion, she will be as graceful and radiant as a fairy! ”
"Of course. I dare say that none of the female workers in our company are as beautiful as her. - Of course, not you, General Manager. As soon as he said this, he felt that he had said something wrong, so he had to add a supplementary explanation.
"You can't help it, I'm not the most beautiful female worker in the company."
"Rude faux pas. Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry! Li hurriedly apologized.
"It's nothing, it's realistic. Well, that's the end of the matter, so let's not talk about it. People are self-aware, and I know that I am not the most beautiful. ”
Li still heard displeasure in Mr. Zhang's tone.
