Chapter 2 Asking for food in vain
For the Aoyi light box old Li plus more
I was a little surprised to hear someone call me, and when I turned around, I found a woman in a yellow dress with a melon seed face and bright eyes and teeth.
She is not very old, wearing a delicately cut slim long dress, a round neck that shows a beautiful collarbone, a ruffled skirt underneath, revealing fair and slender thighs, and a pair of red cloth shoes are simple and elegant. On the wrist of the left hand is a series of small red circle bracelets, the hair is fluffy and coiled, and the snow-white earlobe hangs two silver-white hoop earrings, which are very fashionable, and they also wear light makeup, the lips are painted with pale pink lip gloss, the curly eyelashes flicker, and the bright eyes exude the breath of youth.
I looked at the man, my mind a little confused, and asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”
The other party was a little stunned, but soon laughed and said to me: "Hou Mo, you don't remember me, I, Xia Meng, that ...... from the cement factory"
Summer dreams?
As soon as the other party said the name, I immediately remembered it.
In fact, this girl, as I mentioned earlier, is the little girl in the workshop who was bullied by the head of the security section.
At that time, I couldn't see it, so I stepped forward and rescued the person, but later, I was beaten upside down and ostracized, and what was even more infuriating was that this little girl did not stand up to testify when she was investigating in the factory.
I quit my job in a fit of rage and went to wander in the south.
Her current dress is completely different from the simple appearance of wearing overalls in the cement factory before, and it is normal that I did not recognize it.
Before, I was quite angry, but then I saw too many people outside, and I thought it through.
Speaking of which, a little girl, helpless, finally has a formal job, and it is also a state-owned enterprise, if she really stood up and told the truth at that time, what consequences would she face?
Can she follow my example, quit her job, go south, and wander around?
So I didn't have any hatred for her for a long time, and when I saw it at the moment, I just treated it as an ordinary acquaintance, smiled and nodded, and then said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't seen her for a long time, okay?" ”
I just said it casually to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, but I didn't expect Xia Meng to say: "I'm not in the cement factory anymore." ”
Yes?
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The beast surnamed Xiong later troubled you again?" ”
Referring to the embarrassing past, Xia Meng blushed a little, but still shook his head and said no, my father has an old comrade-in-arms, he transferred me to the China Merchants Bureau in the city, and I was a contract worker at first, and it may become a career establishment in the later stage......
I heard it, and said that it was very good, no wonder I didn't recognize you, it has changed a lot.
Xia Meng looked at me and said yes?
I nodded, yes, it's pretty, I didn't even dare to admit it just now.
The two chatted for a few words, Xia Meng saw that I didn't show disgust, coped lukewarmly, bit his lip, and then said: "Hou Mo, I'm sorry, the previous thing was mine good, I ......"
She didn't finish speaking, I stopped her and said goodbye, the previous things are over, everyone is fine now, what are you talking about.
Xia Meng expressed excitedly: "No, you know, I have always felt guilty in my heart, I feel that I owe you, and I have always wanted to apologize to you, but I didn't expect you to leave so suddenly that day." ”
I waved my hand and said don't talk about it, I didn't take this matter to heart, and without that thing, I might not have been able to get to where I am today. It's all gone, don't think about it.
Xia Meng saw that I really didn't mind, so he didn't continue to apologize, but smiled, and said yes, you are right, it's all over, what are you doing now?
I didn't tell her about my situation, but pointed to the third uncle who was bargaining with the butcher not far away and said, "There is a relative in the family who has passed away and is busy with white things, so I came over to help with some purchases and run errands." ”
Xia Meng asked: "I'm not talking about this, I'm asking where are you working now?" ”
I said that I was in Pengcheng, a special zone, where I worked in a Taiwanese-funded company, responsible for the supply of chemical potions, and ran around, haha......
I said vaguely, Xia Meng looked at me and said Well, you are more energetic than before, which is a good thing.
I said you're pretty too.
Xia Meng said that I need it because of work, hey, by the way, you go home for a few days, if you have time, I will invite you to have a meal, which can be regarded as a formal apology to you for the events of the year.
I said no, don't be so polite.
Xia Meng Zhengse said: "No, no, this is how it should be, besides, we haven't seen each other for a long time, it's good to chat......"
The two were talking, and the third uncle not far away shouted at me, saying that the desert was gone.
When I heard it, I hurriedly said to Xia Meng: "Okay, it depends on the situation, I have something to do here, go and get busy first." ”
Xia Meng grabbed me and said how much is your phone number? I'll look for you then.
I grabbed Xia Meng's arm with my soft fingers, there was no choice but to report the phone number at home to her, Xia Meng took out a small notebook to write it down, and then said to me with a smile: "Don't miss the appointment, you must come......"
I left a little embarrassed and followed the third uncle to carry the basket of meat onto the pickup truck.
After finishing this, the third uncle said to me with a smile: "Da Mo, that girl just now, weirdly beautiful, is it your girlfriend?" ”
I shook my head and said you were kidding, no.
The third uncle wiped his hands, and then said, "It's not a girlfriend, it's a female classmate." In short, the little girl looks at it, it seems to be very interesting to you, you have to take the initiative, develop and develop, won't you become a girlfriend? Look at that girl, the talent is very good, where do you work? ”
His gossip was overflowing, and I could only say with a wry smile: "Third uncle, I am from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, and I am a serious worker, where can I be seen?" ”
The third uncle blew his beard and said what's the matter? I heard your mother say, you are in the Special Administrative Zone, can you get 4,000 a month?
When I heard him say this, I smiled even more bitterly.
My mother is good at everything, but she is a little vain, she loves to brag in front of others for four thousand a month, when my performance was very good, I also mentioned it to her at that time, but I didn't expect her to tell people all over the world, I don't know how to answer.
Fortunately, the third uncle said so, but he also felt that there was a gap between me and the girls in the city investment promotion bureau, so he didn't say more.
After the two finished buying meat, they went to the funeral goods store to buy all kinds of things, and went back and forth several times.
The third uncle is old, and his waist hurts so much that he is tired, but fortunately, after I became a nightcrawler, my physical strength has always been strong, and I take the initiative to do everything I move up and down.
Seeing my strength, the third uncle sighed with emotion, and said that it's good that Brother Yi asked you to follow me to do this, if you change to another young man, flamboyant, and lazy, I will be miserable.
I laughed and said you can't knock down a large piece with a stick.
The third uncle said hey, don't you know, now these young people, play cards and smoke every day when they have nothing to do, hang around, follow the money of their mothers and sons at home, and don't do anything themselves, if everyone makes a lot of money outside like you, we who are old people don't have to work so hard In the end, it's still your father and your mother are so blessed......
Listening to his envious words, I lowered my head, not knowing how to speak.
Maybe the previous me could become the situation in his mouth, and I was also someone else's child, but now I am ......
Alas.
In the world, there are gains and losses, how can everything go well?
I followed my third uncle until midnight before returning home, my mother came back, and my father was still keeping a watch at the mourning hall.
The so-called wake, is to set up a few tables of mahjong, play there, and borrow a video recorder, move a color TV next to the mourning hall, for children and young people to see.
At that time, this thing was very rare, many people came to watch, when I passed by, I saw that it was a movie by Stephen Chow, called Changeable Star, one of the scenes, when taking a helicopter, the ice cream fell into the "European pie" of the swimsuit girl, causing the adults to cover the eyes of the children.
Stephen Chow's movies, I watched them all when I was in Pengcheng, and I don't like to play mahjong, so I chatted with my father for a few words and came back.
At home, my mother pulled me to ask questions, and said a lot of things, I could barely cope, telling a bunch of white lies, and then I couldn't bear it, so I asked how many people I wanted.
Mother said that everyone else follows fifty or eighty, and we can follow one hundred.
I thought about it for a while, went back to the room, took out 5,000 yuan from the envelope in my bag, and when I came out, I handed it to my mother, and said that you take the money, take out 1,000 and help me with the gift, and you can keep the rest of the money.
My mother took the money, and she was a little reluctant, saying why did she send so much? It's not easy for you to make money.
I said that Sister Li is not easy, orphans and widows, I feel that mother-in-law is not a good person to get along with, when the days were difficult when I was young, she treated me well, so I should do my best.
At this point, my mother didn't object anymore, but she was still a little reluctant, and she was babbling, saying that I was spending money now and spending lavishly.
When I heard this, I smiled bitterly in my heart, not knowing what to say.
I didn't say anything all night, and in the next few days, I was busy with the third uncle.
Because I have been working outside for many years, my attitude towards the world and my ability to do things are not bad, the third uncle is very satisfied, and often praises me in front of several principals in the village.
To my surprise, there were still people who wanted to introduce me to someone, and the girls were brought to my house.
I didn't dare to delay people, so I hurriedly excused myself.
On the day I went up the mountain, I invited a whole troupe to set up a stage to do things, blowing trumpets and suona, which was so lively.
The gentleman who presided over the white affair is a celebrity here for us, I talked to Ma Yiao, chatted with this person for a few words, I felt that the person was quite level, I couldn't help but say a few more words to him, both of them thought that the other party was good, and at this time, my mother ran over and said to me: "Damo, it's not good, go out quickly, there's a quarrel outside." ”
I was stunned and said, who is arguing?
Mother said that a group of people who asked for food came from outside and quarreled with your cousin.
