Chapter 347: Avandi's Story (2)
Frightened his sister back back, Avandi thought about it, and decided to have breakfast here, after all, if you change to a new place, you may not be familiar with where the restaurant is over there. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking so, Awandi shouted loudly, "Mother, I'll eat here." ”
But soon Avandi regretted it, a few months were short, but he had long been accustomed to enjoying fine food in the company, and now he felt the urge to vomit as soon as he ate this shoddy breakfast.
I watched my seven-year-old sister and three-year-old brother eat with relish on the dirty table, as if it were not cheap food, but a delicious meal.
"Avandi, have you heard?" His mother, who is almost fifty years old this year, has been working hard in the slums all year round, leaving the woman in her fifties with wrinkles on her face and gray hair growing between her foreheads.
"What did you hear?"
He quietly put down the corncake mixture and asked quietly.
"Recently, the price of chili peppers has risen to 200,000 rupees, and I heard that yesterday a man ran to Sunaid's vegetable garden to steal chili peppers, and was caught by Sunaidi and his brother, and beat them to death with sticks......"
"Killed?"
Aiwandi was stunned for a moment, and then he was in a trance, he was used to living in a civilized society, and he almost forgot this kind of life in the slums.
"So, how are they?"
"Who?" His mother asked curiously.
"Sunaid, they should be punished for killing someone."
"Of course, the police are here, and the Sunaidi family has been fined 1 million rupees, so it is better to let the thief steal the chili peppers."
The woman had a distressed expression on her face, and it seemed that she was distressed by the peppers.
The price of a human life, four kilograms of chili peppers.
Avandi couldn't swallow it anymore, he was a little bored, and he wanted to move out of the slum as soon as possible, where human life is not equivalent to life in the city center, and in the eyes of the police lords, the untouchables of the country are only worth four kilograms of chili peppers.
Suddenly, Avandi took out his wallet, counted out 2 million rupees and put it on the table, "Mother, take the money, buy a pair of shoes for Nayorman, and buy some household things for the rest, if it's not enough, I'll go get some money tonight and come back." ”
"Oh, oh, this, this...... Avandi ......"
The woman was a little excited, she picked up 20 large bills with both hands, and said incoherently: "Avandi, this, this is a little too much." ”
"Not much, not much money."
Avandi said loudly: "I'm saving money, maybe in a few months, we can get out of here and find a good house to live in." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and for the first time sensed that what Avandi said might be true.
She hesitated for a moment, handed the money to Avandi, and muttered, "Then, then this money should be saved, if it is not enough, if it is not enough, I will save a little." ”
The little girl next to her heard Awandi say to buy her a pair of shoes, and her dark eyes immediately lit up, and suddenly her mother handed the money back, and her eyes suddenly dimmed, but she still didn't say anything, and obediently lay down in front of the table that was almost as tall as her, burying her little head in front of the shabby rice bowl and chewing the cake vigorously.
"Haha, where did this money come from?"
Before Aiwandi could continue to say anything, suddenly the door was slammed open, and a drunken old man walked in, and when he saw the money in the woman's hand, he immediately said noisily: "You cheap woman, didn't you say that you have no money?" How dare you lie to me! ”
After saying that, I wanted to come over and grab the money.
It's a pity that as soon as Awandi stretched out his arm, he stopped the drunken old man.
"Hey, you're ...... Avandi, my son? ”
The old man squinted, looked Aiwandi up and down, and smiled: "My good son, what do you want to do?" Want to help me? I'm not old enough yet. ”
Seeing his father, who hadn't been home for a few months, was drunk and wanted to grab the money as soon as he came back, Avandi pushed the old man to the ground.
"Aren't you not coming back?"
"Haha, that's just an angry talk."
The old man's presence made the woman tremble, and the children were frightened, and they all hid to the side and did not dare to speak, but Avandi stood upright, looking down condescendingly at the gambling and drinking bastard.
The old man didn't blame Ai Wandi for this push, and slowly got up from the ground, "I'm your father after all, don't be so ruthless, I still miss you very much." ”
"Get the hell out of me, I don't want to say a second sentence."
"Allah, do you really intend to be so ruthless?"
The old man sneered, "Remember, I have always been your father, don't regret treating me like this." ”
"You old fellow, do you want to stay here and die?" Awandi couldn't help but wave his fist.
"Haha, my son looks developed now, it's not our pariahs, and they dare to talk to me like that. But don't forget, no matter how much you change, you are my son, don't regret doing this kind of thing. ”
Looking drunk, the old man spoke quite clearly, he glanced at Evandi with a sneer, glanced at the banknotes on the table with a greedy gaze, and still pushed the door and walked out.
"Avandi, what to do, he's back." When the woman saw that the old man was gone, she sobbed and stood up and said.
"Don't be afraid, I'm already different, if he dares to come back, I'll call the police."
Now, as an employee of a super multinational foreign company, if he calls the police, I am afraid that he will not have the same perfunctory attitude towards the poor as before.
Reassuring her mother, Awandi handed the money back to the woman, "Don't worry, it's nothing, we'll be able to move out of here soon." ”
Outside the house, although the sky is still dark, many people in the slums have already gotten up early to work, some need to go to the garbage station on the outskirts of the city early in the morning to find useful garbage to sell for money, and others pull the vegetables they have worked hard to grow and send them to the farmers' market to sell.
There are very few existences like Awandi who wears a suit and holds his head high.
Many people watched him pass by with envy and jealousy, but Evandi never let her guard down, despite looking down on these lazy pariahs. He had recently heard a rumor that he had joined a large company and seemed to have money.
It is indeed true that it is a rumor, but such a rumor is too dangerous in the slums, and it cannot be ruled out that some jealous people deliberately cheat him, or even do something excessive.
So Evandi got up early and left in order to avoid someone deliberately running into him and staining his clean suit when there were many people.
Yes, just getting Avandi's suit dirty is enough to cause him a lot of trouble.
For such a world-class multinational company, the personal image of the employee is very important, at least in the downtown building, if he wears a dirty suit to work, within a day, the whole company will spread his disrespectful behavior to the company's image.
Although...... A white person like David or a core employee dresses casually or sloppily, which is a reflection of personality. But he was Javanese, a Javanese born in the slums, and was not qualified to learn from David's example.
Out of the slums, Awandi hopped on a bus to the city center.
Wake up very early, but unfortunately the traffic situation in Jakarta is not very good, many office workers in order not to be late, also like to get up early to take the bus, he carefully got on the bus and kept a certain distance from others, and waited patiently for an hour before the bus arrived at the platform.
From here is the periphery of the city center, and the hardcore technology company he works for did not choose the core area of the city center as the office location, but directly found a building in the outer area, and used it as an office space on the 25th to 27th floors.
Of course, the office space here is more than the headquarters of the hardcore tech company being built in the suburbs, and the main job of the office here is sales and reception, and the job of a programmer like him is only to maintain the official website of the hardcore tech company in Indonesia.
The headquarters of the hard-core technology company is certainly set in Indonesia, but obviously, the company does not attach much importance to the Indonesian market, and the holographic projection equipment is too expensive, even if it is the government official, there are few departments to procure, only a small number of local tyrants and business Chinese, out of curiosity will purchase one.
