Extra 8: If I didn't meet you (Qiu Wen)
I subconsciously stood up and called out to her, and she curled her lips and walked towards me, then stood in front of the single sofa next to me and motioned for me to sit with her eyes.
Then I found out that I actually stood up, and I didn't understand why I was standing up......
After I sat down, she turned her head to look at the bar, "Ah Feng, bring two beers and a pack of cigarettes." ”
The young man named Ah Feng raised his hand and gestured to her OK fingers, she turned her head, squeezed sideways into the sofa and the round table and sat down.
She crossed her legs, leaned back, and looked at me with scrutiny, scrutiny, and a hint of appreciation.
I pursed my lower lip lightly and opened my mouth first, "What is Sister Li looking for me?" ”
"Hmm...... What do you think of me? ”
“?” I was puzzled, a little confused, I didn't understand what she wanted to say, and after a second of pause, I nodded back at the literal meaning, "Very good." ”
She curled her lips, "Are you interested in coming here to work?" ”
“???” Work?!
My eyes opened slightly, a little stunned, mainly because I didn't think that she was looking for me......
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she smiled lowly, "What? It's not that you can't look down on me, right? ”
"When, of course not." I hurriedly replied.
"That'll do."
"......" I didn't know what to say for a while, and I felt a little rushed to get a duck on the shelf.
But...... It doesn't seem wrong to think about it, if you have a job, isn't that just that you can make money?
"I'm here, I start work at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the end of work is uncertain, and people can only leave when they leave." When she said this, her voice paused, because the man named Ah Feng came over with a tray.
In the tray were boiled liquor, a pack of cigarettes, and a cigarette case with a lighter on it.
"Sister Li, the ice is right?" Ah Feng asked Li Simu with a smile while putting the wine in front of her.
Li Simu squinted her eyes and smiled, and directly picked up the small bottle of beer and took a sip, indicating that she was very satisfied.
Ah Feng put down the wine and cigarettes and turned around and left, Li Simu lowered his jaw at the wine in front of me, I picked it up, the cold touch penetrated into the palm of my hand, and my head that was a little confused before sobered up.
"Sister Li, how do you calculate this salary?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "1200, no rest, tell me in advance if you have something." ”
My chest shook, I raised my lips, raised the wine bottle to her, raised my head and took a sip, "Thank you, Sister Li." ”
She laughed, "Is this a set?" ”
"Hmm." It must be set, 1200, more than a double salary! She was clearly helping me.
She lowered her eyes, took a sip of wine and put down the bottle, then picked up the cigarette on the table and opened it, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth and threw it directly to me, "I don't usually have many people, most of them are friends, so I must greet them well, and ask Ah Feng if I don't understand anything." ”
"Got it." I replied, pulling a cigarette out of the cigarette case, why do you want to help me I ended up pressing it down my throat.
It wasn't until I lit the cigarette, and she said, "By the way, my third uncle hurts Jiayi so much, you are a smart person." ”
"......," I lowered my eyes and nodded, "I said I wouldn't look for her." ”
"Actually, it's not impossible to find." She sighed lightly, "They are all young people, I can still understand it, but Jiayi is still young, let's talk about it in a few years." ”
How many years has it been "......"?
In fact, I wanted to tell Li Simu, there was no need to comfort me, thinking that I didn't have any strong feelings for Li Jiayi, not even liking, at most a good impression.
Although I don't like this kind of comfort, I still didn't say anything, after all, I wasn't stupid enough to tell my sister that I was cheating on your sister's feelings.
And not in the future, I feel like it's a turning point, and I'm not going to be as muddy as I used to be!
We had a casual chat again, and then she asked me why she borrowed money from Li Jiayi.
She seemed to be particularly concerned about this, and I didn't hide it from her, and directly said that I didn't borrow it at first, but planned to rob it.
She looked at me for two seconds and then burst out laughing, as if she had heard something very funny.
I was a little inexplicable, and she laughed for a long time before she stopped laughing and asked me, "Do you know who my third uncle is?" ”
“…… I don't know. "I guess I really can't afford to provoke it, let alone Li Jiayi's father, just a woman like Li Simu, at first glance, she can't afford to provoke a character at all.
However, Li Simu didn't tell me who Jiayi's father was and what he did in the end, but these things, in fact, needless to say, as long as they have been in their circle for a long time, they will know.
When she finished smoking that cigarette, she asked me if I could start work today.
I said no problem, picked up the bottle of wine and drank the rest of the sip, she stood up with a smile, took me to the bar, and told Ah Feng that I would work here in the future and take care of me more.
Ah Feng was obviously stunned, and then smiled politely and said that there was no problem.
Li Simu told me again, let me just ask Ah Feng if I don't understand, she still has something, come back later.
As soon as Li Simu left, I was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, this was my first job in my life, the first time I went to work.
As for Ah Feng, he was very polite to me and had always been close to me, and I intuitively felt that this kind of treatment had nothing to do with Li Simu.
Later, I learned from Ah Feng that Li Simu's father opened a lending company, and the lending company said that it sounded good, but it was actually a bit similar to loan sharking, as for Li Jiayi's father, who was engaged in real estate development.
After Ah Feng finished speaking, he gave me a meaningful look for me to experience it myself, I was speechless, I realized, what did I experience? At most, I know that the Li family is awesome.
This bar, as Li Simu himself said, is usually not anyone, such as on the first day, it was me and Ah Feng sitting in the bar chattering.
At 11 o'clock, Li Simu hadn't shown up yet, and after Ah Feng called her, he told me that I could call it a day after cleaning casually.
My first reaction was that this job was so easy!
It seemed that seeing what I was thinking, Ah Feng said with a smile, This is what Li Simu is interested in playing, and occasionally her friends come.
But if you come, you have to say hello, they are all uncles, they can't afford to offend anyone, and their jobs are not guaranteed at any time.
I said I understood, and cleaned up with him...... In fact, no one comes, how can you clean it? Blocking the ash on the ground, washing the ashtray that Li Simu and I used before......
At 11 o'clock, the bars along the street were still lively, and we called it a day.
Ah Feng and I walked out, he stopped in front of a barbecue stall and asked me if I wanted to have some, I shook my head and said I was going back.
However, Ah Feng was not polite, he just pulled me along, I was a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to refuse.
After eating, Ah Feng took a taxi back, and I walked.
Actually, I still have some money on me, but I don't want to think about it like I used to waste it before, my brother is at work now! It's not that I don't have money to live at home, but my brother has to run outside every day!
When I got home, it was already past 12 o'clock, and the lights in my grandparents' house were all gone, apparently already asleep.
But I was still in high spirits, standing at their door and raising and lowering my hand, putting it down and raising it, it was a kind of thing that I didn't rush to share with them, I found a job, I wanted to see how they would react, and they must be very happy.
It was only after a long time that I suppressed the excitement and forced myself to go back to my room, after all, it was too late, let's talk about it tomorrow.
When I got back to the room, I couldn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning, and I thought that if it wasn't for the insomnia of Zhang Bin and a few of their stinky boys the night before, I would have been tired for another day today, and I guess I wouldn't have been able to sleep.
When I woke up, my grandmother called me lunch, and I snapped my eyes open and sat up from the couch.
I didn't care about the backache, so I put on my slippers and walked quickly to the door to open the door, and when I looked out, the smell of food wafted in the air, and my grandmother was adding rice to the bowl.
She heard the door knock and turned to look at me, "Hurry up and wash up, you can eat and pull." ”
My mouth opened, and I didn't know what to say when I saw it all night......
I watched a little depressed as she went back to the room with the bowl, then paused before going to wash up and then went inside.
I sat down, picked up the bowl, and was thinking about what to say, when my grandmother asked, "Where did you go last night, and I didn't see you back at almost twelve o'clock." ”
Oops! My grandma is getting to know me better and better, and she really knows how to find topics!
I immediately laughed, "I'm going to work." ”
"What?" My grandmother was about to pick up the vegetables and looked up at me, as if I had misheard.
I smiled even more happily, "I said I went to work last night." ”
When my words fell, my grandmother looked at me stunned for two seconds, then lowered her eyes, moved her chopsticks, and picked up the vegetables.
"......"! The reaction wasn't intense at all, it wasn't the same as I thought.
I was a little disappointed, and my grandmother looked at me again and said, "Where are you going to work?" ”
"A bar in Lushui Bend, 1,200 a month." I immediately released the awesome salary first.
As a result, my voice fell, and my grandmother gave me a blank look, "Boast with me." ”
"Poof-" I took a mouthful of blood, "It's true, 7 o'clock in the evening, the end time is uncertain, if someone is late, if there is no one, you can leave at eleven or twelve o'clock, but there is no rest, if you ask for leave...... I guess I will have to deduct my salary. ”
My grandmother finally believed me and asked, "Are you serious?" ”
"Why am I lying to you? I'm not sick! I said angrily, "That bar was opened by the sister of one of my classmates, and she introduced me there." ”
My grandmother was so excited that she even put down the bowl, "Ouch, it's real!" ”
"......" is real in front and false in the back.
"What's your classmate's name?"
"You don't know what I said, it's before."
My grandmother immediately changed her words, didn't eat, and chatted with me, saying that this kind of friend will help my friend should get closer to me, like Li Nanjiang Mingshan.
Then she said that her eyes were still wet, and she wiped them vigorously, saying that God had finally opened her eyes, and my dad had finally appeared.
I looked at her like that, and my heart was sour, I should have said that sentence, you should say that I finally opened my mind and held it in my throat.
Later, she quickly finished the meal, and went out with the lunch that had been prepared for my grandfather, and her steps were very urgent, and she could feel that she wanted to share the good news with my grandfather as soon as possible.
At that moment, I thought, no matter what, this job must be kept, must be kept!
In the evening, I arrived at seven o'clock on time, but not to mention the immediate door, even the outside roller shutter door was open.
I'm a little speechless, didn't I say seven o'clock?
I waited until 7:20 before Ah Feng appeared, saw me standing at the door, and said to me with a smile that although it was 7 o'clock, it didn't really take place so early.
This night, similar to yesterday, Li Simu came to smoke a cigarette, teased us a few words, and withdrew without sitting for 20 minutes, I watched her drive away in the red sports car, and I couldn't help but sigh softly.
Ah Feng, who was standing next to me, suddenly smiled and said to me, don't think about it.
I was stunned for a moment, and before I could react to what he meant, Ah Feng said, there are more people chasing Li Simu, let's just take a look.
I was speechless, "I'm looking at the car." ”
"Hahahaha - just look at the car, R8, more than two million!"
...... "I know that the car costs more than two million, and I know that Ah Feng didn't believe what I just said, but I don't care very much."
It was eleven o'clock again, and I invited Ah Feng for supper this day, and then I still went back at night.
Along the way, I looked up at the sky from time to time and could feel something swelling in my heart.
I can't describe the feeling, but I know very well that there are some subtle changes going on in my life and cognition, and that feeling of expansion is inseparable from this subtle change.
When I got home, it was past twelve o'clock, and my grandparents didn't sleep, obviously waiting for me.
This night was the most my grandfather talked to me since I was fired, and there was nothing sensational, just telling me to work hard since I finally found a job.
He also said that he should not be looked down upon when he worked outside, and forced me 500 yuan to buy me, so that I could buy whatever I wanted, and if I didn't buy it, I would keep it when I usually used the money.
I didn't want it, but my grandmother kept giving me a look, and I finally took it, and then the next day I gave the money to my grandmother again, so that she could keep the family.
Although Ah Feng said that he didn't have to arrive on time, I still waited at the door of Mose at seven o'clock, and then Li Simu didn't show up that night, until nine o'clock I called and said that she had a friend coming over, let's greet her first, she will arrive late.
Not to mention, I'm still a little nervous, especially when I didn't hang up the phone for a long time, a group of people suddenly poured in, more than a dozen men and women, and they didn't look like a good class.
Then I was speechless and saw the old Xing who seemed to have always been a little prejudiced against me.
