Chapter 1 The Life of Chicken Ribs

Next Chapter

Gu Xiyan walked out of the gate of the hospital and was greeted by the sultry and humidity unique to the summer in this city, and in less than a minute, her body began to be sticky, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lin, who was waiting at the outer door of the hospital, greeted him: "Sister Gu, how is it?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded at her.

Xiao Lin's expression relaxed, she raised her hand and waved excitedly in the air: "Sister Gu, let's go to the night market to have two drinks to celebrate, shall we?" ”

Today's time is a little late, if it was usual, Gu Xiyan probably wouldn't agree, but the fact that this matter could be resolved so smoothly today made her feel a little sense of accomplishment. Gu Xiyan thought for a moment, and said happily: "Okay! ”

They hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take them to the nearest night market.

The taxi driver looked at them and said, "This area is all high-end residential areas, with small bars and no night markets." To get to the night market, you have to walk for more than an hour......"

Before he finished his words, Xiao Lin shouted: "How much is the fare!" Then please take us to the nearest bar, I haven't been to the bar yet! ”

Xiao Lin was a little too excited today, but Gu Xiyan was still sober, pulled Xiao Lin's sleeve, and said to the taxi driver: "Master, then please send us to the nearest supermarket, the bar is too expensive, we can't afford it...... Xiaolin, you don't like to watch Korean dramas the most, why don't we buy two beers at the supermarket and find a place like a street park to have two drinks......"

The driver was amused by Gu Xiyan's words: "Yes, two young ladies, this land is expensive, but it also has benefits, that is, the scenery is good, let me tell you, there is a camphor forest not far away, planted with authentic camphor, which is rare now." When the wind blows, the fragrance disappears from time to time, and I don't know how comfortable it is to sit in the woods......"

Xiao Lin was still young after all, and was immediately attracted by the driver's words: "Okay, master, then please send us to the supermarket first and then send us to a place where the wind is full of aroma......"

The driver said "yes" and then increased the throttle and drove forward.

Xiao Lin leaned comfortably on the car seat and said with a sigh: "Sister Gu, thanks to you today, you reacted so quickly and spoke decently, otherwise, it wouldn't have become a complaint that deserves 12315." No wonder the people at our general service desk say that you can learn a lot of things by following Sister Gu......"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I'm older than you, and I've experienced a lot of things, and after a long time, you're not the same......"

She's not saying it.

Gu Xiyan's mother died when she was an infant, and she grew up with her grandmother in her uncle's house since she was a child...... Later, her grandmother died, and Gu Xiyan was taken back to her father's house, but things did not change at all. 's father remarried again, her stepmother was a shrewd woman, she had a son with her father, she had the economic power of the family, she was very polite to Gu Xiyan, and she had a lot of food and clothing, but not much, and if she wanted to buy a pencil, she had to reach out to her and ask for money...... In the summer vacation of the college entrance examination, Gu Xiyan did not do well in the exam, and when he was wandering on the street, he accidentally saw a shopping mall recruiting summer promoters, and he applied for employment with the mentality of giving it a try, worked for more than 40 days, and got the first salary in his life. Later, he was admitted to a junior college and wanted to find a job as a tutor to subsidize the subsidy, but as a result, his parents generally asked for students in first-class universities, so Gu Xiyan had to touch his nose and went to the mall to work as a summer promoter...... When I graduated, those who studied liberal arts were not as popular as those who studied science, and those who studied junior college were not as popular as those who studied in college, and it was not easy to find a job...... In this way, Gu Xiyan has been working in the shopping mall where she has a summer job for three years, from a trainee clerk to the position of the head of the customer service department, in the eyes of others, Gu Xiyan is a spring breeze and a horseshoe disease, breaking the company's conventions, and being promoted as fast as a helicopter, but only Gu Xiyan herself knows that she has actually been working in this field for seven years, and she has long felt tired, but when she thinks of her stepmother's face that she can't get living expenses, she doesn't have the courage to jump badly......

The driver quickly took them to a 24-hour supermarket, where Kobayashi quickly ran in to buy beer and snacks, and the driver took them to the camphor forest he was talking about.

As the driver said, Gu Xiyan and Xiaolin smelled that special fragrance as soon as they got out of the car, coming with the wind, sometimes hidden and sometimes hidden, sometimes slow and sometimes sick.

Xiao Lin stretched out his arms to the sky and sighed: "It's good to be rich!" ”

Gu Xiyan also felt the same way: "There are thousands of mansions, but unfortunately none of them belong to me!" ”

It is not easy to live in this city, Gu Xiyan lives in his father's house, and he has a younger brother who is in his youth, and he has to dress neatly before he can come out after taking a bath, and his desire for a house is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

They walked into the camphor forest, surrounded by half-man-high street lamps with vertical square glass lampshades, and inside the forest were winding paths paved with cobblestones, and under the orange street lights, there was quite a bit of a quiet path. They walked slowly along the path into the camphor forest, and from time to time they saw couples sitting on carved benches beside the path and hugging each other. Gu Xiyan joked to Xiao Lin: "Let's find a quiet place, seeing this scene, I can't stand it, it's too exciting, it's completely reminding myself how failed my life is...... We're dating, but we're still working......"

Xiao Lin laughed, and then they kept walking deeper into the woods, looking for a very secluded place.

Sitting on the long lean, they drank beer and chatted. In fact, it was mainly Xiao Lin chatting, and Gu Xiyan was listening.

Gu Xiyan has been staying with a group of women in the mall for a long time, and she has a very deep understanding of "three women in one play", so she never says anything to the partners who work together......

Without saying a few words, Xiaolin's mobile phone rang, she took it out and looked at it, and immediately whispered to Gu Xiyan: "Sister Gu, it's the boss......

Gu Xiyan also learned the tone of her voice, and whispered to Xiao Lin: "Report the processing process and results, saying that I went to the toilet and was not in the ......."

Who wants to be dragged by the boss to talk about work after work, Xiao Lin nodded with a smile and answered the phone.

Sure enough, Xiao Lin took a long time to answer the call, and she made a V-shaped gesture to Gu Xiyan and said, "The boss said that we worked hard......"

Gu Xiyan drank beer and nodded.

Today's thing is a bit of a coincidence, just in time for Gu Xi's appearance lobby manager class, when it is almost time to get off work, she patrols the floors as usual, and hears a few promoters discussing, saying that the fitting mirror of a counter on the women's floor suddenly broke, and a passing old lady cut a small hole on her arm, the staff apologized to her on the spot, and took out a band-aid to treat her wounds, but the old lady didn't do it, and lost her temper...... The area where Gu Xiyan works is located in a complex area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by several well-known institutions of higher learning and the city's most upscale residential areas, as well as an old town nicknamed "slum" by the citizens, and the complaints are even more varied, including the wife who stood at the door of the damage prevention and scolded the supermarket cashier for not letting him take more bags, and the old professor spent six hours "discussing" with Gu Xiyan about the absorbency of cotton cloth...... Gu Xiyan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately rushed to the women's clothing floor, and saw an old lady in plain clothes sitting on a chair at the counter with a solemn face from a distance...... This is the advantage of working in a large department store, because you know all kinds of famous brands well, and you can immediately tell exactly what the real "God" is. Gu Xiyan immediately stepped forward, apologized to her respectfully, and immediately promised that all the old lady's medical expenses would be borne by the shopping mall, and also called an ambulance from the best hospital in the district, and then accompanied her to the hospital for examination and treatment with Xiao Lin, the clerk on duty on the floor...... It turns out that Gu Xiyan's senses are sensitive. The old lady was one of the first practicing lawyers in the city to obtain a lawyer's license...... Things are made small, and small things are turned into small things......

Xiao Lin sighed: "This is really a job that no one does." Sister Gu, what if we have a family and children in the future? ”

"Kid?" Gu Xiyan thought of the soft little person, her heart seemed to be a lot softer, looking at the full moon like a silver plate in the gray-blue sky, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I don't even have a boyfriend now, where can I have children?" ”

Xiao Lin may not have thought that Gu Xiyan would talk about personal matters, and he was stunned.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but complain: "When I was in school, I felt that I would have opportunities in the future, but when I went to society, I found that I encountered some dirty people and things......"

Kobayashi felt the same way, saying, "Yes. Just like now, it's better to have a boyfriend than not to have one, but I really don't have it, and I think everyone else has it, so I have to have one......" She began to complain that her boyfriend was not considerate of her hard work, and complained that her boyfriend asked her to share the burden when he paid the rent, but when he started the housework, he asked her to be independent......

Gu Xiyan looked at Xiao Lin's lips one by one, and his mind wandered for a moment.

From childhood to adulthood, what Gu Xiyan hoped for most was to have a family of her own. When I was studying, I also devoted myself to love, but life is like this, the more you want to get it, the more you can't get it. When you go to work, the society is so realistic, boys are all like people, you can date, once you talk about marriage, you will spy on your family background and how many dowries there are...... Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but feel a little sad, if her biological mother was still alive, her situation shouldn't be so difficult!

Gu Xiyan drank a few more cans of beer, and her body began to flutter a little, if it weren't for Xiaolin's boyfriend calling her, their date might have continued more deeply.
