Chapter 40, Fang Yuan wants to divorce
In a daze, Berlin woke up under Chen Kexin's call.
When he opened his eyes, the room was as warm as usual. The smell of hot rice and heavy air. He couldn't get up for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the dim incandescent light hanging from the low ceiling looked a little dimmer than it had been two days before. The hazy gray layer on the light bulb notes its years, and it should always be with this dilapidated little bungalow, and it is time to replace it...
"Do you want to sleep a little longer, Berlin?" Chen Kexin walked over and asked softly.
Berlin shook his head.
"Dad slept all day, and slept for a long, long time." Nini's voice rang out.
Berlin smiled, he didn't go to the extra explanation, it was better to sleep for a day...
Eventually, Berlin took a deep breath, struggled to get up, rinsed his mouth and washed his face, and ate dinner.
And during dinner, Chen Kexin suddenly spoke.
"Berlin, I want to change jobs, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Berlin looked surprised, he raised his head to look at Chen Kexin, and wondered, "Good and decent, why do you want to change jobs?" I think it's very easy over there, and my colleagues are good to you. ”
Chen Kexin gently stirred the soup in his hand with chopsticks, and said slowly, "The salary there is too low, I thought about it, and I think that I can save more money by changing to a job with a higher salary." Speaking of this, she immediately changed the subject as usual, and said, "I have seen several jobs, all of them are good, and the salary is hundreds of times higher than that over there."
"Don't change it."
Berlin decisively rejected Chen Kexin, and he could not agree.
Berlin looked at Chen Kexin quietly, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly, she was always like that. Day after day, he had never seen the sweat stains on her body dry when she came home. When I went home, I never stopped sleeping. The job in the supermarket is one of the few easy jobs, but after work, she either helps her colleagues with their work, or goes to the fields to help out in the fields to find some income or get some free vegetables and fruits.
Berlin knows exactly what Chen Kexin is working on every day.
"You continue to work in the supermarket, I can make more money, you don't have to think about that." Berlin refused.
Such a decisive refusal was really unexpected by Chen Kexin, and in the face of Berlin's firm expression, she could only nod in the end and give up the idea.
Of course, Berlin has other concerns - Chen Kexin is not in good health.
After dinner, Berlin went to work.
After yesterday's adaptation, he is familiar with today's work, and he will not be so busy.
Although busy and a little tired, Berlin took advantage of his little ingenuity and found some tricks, so that he had some time to sit down and catch his breath, and from time to time he was eliminated from the pile, waiting for a lollipop to be pulled out of the discarded candy box and bite into it, and taste a few bites, which was not a treat downstairs. The machine downstairs is running a different story.
"Can I take two of these candies with me?"
Filling in the dates on the cardboard box, Berlin found an opportunity to ask the middle-aged woman who was loading the candy into the box in front of her.
"Belt." She replied with a smile, "You can take the packaged ones directly, a few are nothing, just don't have too many." I'm old, and I don't like to eat sweets like you young. “
Berlin was delighted to hear this, and immediately touched a few and put them in his pocket, so that he could take some back and give Nini to taste.
He continued to get busy.
It's just that in the midst of his busyness, he heard the middle-aged woman in front of him discussing yesterday's events.
"I heard that the workshop director was fired."
"Isn't it, wasn't it okay yesterday?"
"The list factory lost hundreds of thousands, saying that it was a machine problem, and I don't know if this is the case."
"Those candies are discarded, right?"
"No, I want to sell it to the employees in our factory, and if I want to buy it, I will buy it in the warehouse, and the price is cheap. Hey, we don't have anything in the factory, but we don't lack sugar, who will buy it? ”
"Yes, then the money factory will pay for it."
"It's none of our business, our salary is indispensable."
As they discussed, Berlin couldn't help but feel a little concerned.
He got into the topic and asked, "Sister, can no one buy it and throw it away?"
"How could it be. Either find a fool and buy it, or go to the factory store and sell it. In the end, it really didn't work, it was melted and redone, and the raw materials were still there. The middle-aged woman replied.
"Then I think I can easily sell it." Berlin Road.
"I can't sell much, easy? You're thinking too simply. The middle-aged woman didn't say how hard it was to sell.
Berlin was a little puzzled when he heard that so many goods could not be sold, and he felt that as long as he used some methods, he could easily handle it, so why did he say that it was difficult? Could it be that I think too simply?
Berlin didn't think much about it.
After all, so many people didn't think of a way to deal with the management of the factory, how could his idea be reliable?
But Berlin also had a strange idea in his mind, if the idea was reliable, would the factory share its profits if the candy was sold? Will there be a few thousand? Or even ten thousand?
He dreamed beautifully.
As time went by, and after much thought, Berlin became more and more convinced that its idea worked and that it could be tried. He asked several women, "Sister, if I can sell these goods, will you give me some money?" ”
The middle-aged woman smiled, "Then the boss will let you do it." ”
Her teasing tone made Berlin smile helplessly and stop asking.
After work, he took a few candies home. Because of the extra hour's sleep, Berlin was not as sleepy as yesterday, and when he got home, he finally had the energy to eat the breakfast made by Chen Kexin.
"I slept Kexin first, it didn't cost anything, this was brought back from my factory, you wait for Nini to get up and give it to her."
When the tiredness came up, Berlin put a few lollipops from his pocket on the table.
"Don't worry, people say I can take it." Berlin added, "You have to pay at least 5 cents for one outside, and you can try it too." ”
“... Then I'll give Nini later, I'm not interested in sweets. Chen Kexin shook her head slightly.
She is accustomed to bitterness, which love is sweet....
Sleep in Berlin is very shallow.
He fell into a gray dream, everything seemed so real, yet so vague. He dreamed that he had sold the candy in the factory, and the boss promoted him and made him the director of the workshop. Every day, he is like the current workshop director, patrolling back and forth proudly, instructing the employees to work today and arrange the output... Very majestic.
At 12 o'clock he was woken up by the alarm clock.
After 6 hours of sleep, which was enough for Berlin, he finished his lunch and hurried to the street, and after a brief communication with the fat boss, when the time came, he began to work.
For Berlin, which uses a forklift to drag hundreds of pounds of candy back and forth to the warehouse every day, the handling skills have long been familiar to him. The goods carried here are also hundreds of pounds of items, which are heavier than candy, and they are all big machines and large objects, which are more difficult. Compared with the factory, direct exposure to the sun is even more life-threatening.
But that's all that Berlin can hold onto.
In the afternoon, he was in the sun, resting the goods back and forth from the arriving car, dragging it inside...
The two bottles of water he had brought with him were quickly drained.
The clothes had already been wet with sweat, and his mouth was dry, so the fat boss bought a few bottles of ice mineral water and handed them to a few people in turn, shouting and scolding, "Damn the hell weather, it's hot today." When he handed it to Berlin, he smiled and said, "You kid did a good job, I see it in my eyes." Do a good job, don't be afraid of running out of water, please drink a bottle of cold beer after moving! ”
Work continues.
Berlin, however, did not have the cold beer he was expecting
Before 6 o'clock, before it was time to get off work, Berlin received a call from Fang Yuan.
Although he and Fang Yuan were good, the two communicated very little. As far as he knew, Fang Yuan was doing a career in an ordinary company, and he needed to run around every day, and he was also very busy. Of course, it was much easier than his hard work.
Picking up the phone, Berlin hadn't spoken yet, Fang Yuan's voice was a little heavy, "Berlin, are you free at night?" ”
Berlin was stunned, obviously Fang Yuan wanted to talk to him about something important.
He said, "I'm free until 8 o'clock." ”
"That's fine. Half past six. ”
Fang Yuan made an appointment for a nearby barbecue restaurant, which was very close to where he was working now.
"Is something wrong?" Berlin still cares about asking.
"I want to talk to you, I'm going to divorce Lin Manman." Fang Yuan spoke slowly.
“....”
This can scare Berlin.
He is no stranger to the word divorce.
"Don't be impulsive, Fang Yuan." Berlin hurriedly persuaded.
Fang Yuan's side was silent.
After a long pause, he suddenly came to Berlin with such a sentence that made Berlin feel inexplicable: "Then you should persuade me well in the evening..."
“....”
It seems that Fang Yuan doesn't really want to divorce....
