Section 9 Distant Relatives
I didn't sleep well another night, and I tasted the taste of broken love for the first time, and my head looked a little groggy!
In the morning, I suddenly received a call from home, and I rarely call from home, unless there is something important!
My mother is a native of the countryside, and she said to me excitedly, "Feng'er, have you found a job?
Parents worry a lot about children outside the country, and those of us who are in other places naturally hold joy and do not report worries in order not to worry about our parents. I hesitated for a moment, then lied to her and replied, "Oh, settle down, the place of work is in Shanghai!"
The mother immediately smiled and said, "That's good, that's good! Feng'er, let me tell you something, I have an eldest aunt who is married far away, and their family lives in the mountains of Xiangxi! The cousin of the eldest aunt's family is only slightly younger than your father, but he died very early! Now the eldest aunt's family is gone, only one of your eldest cousin's sons is named Wen Yuan, who should be two years older than you! Feng'er, I am such an aunt, your nephew's parents are gone, Wenyuan's life is very hard, he really has no choice, so he came to us! But we are from the countryside, and we can't settle him, so I asked him to come to Shanghai to find you, and you have to take good care of him for me and help him find an errand to earn a living!"
"Huh?" I heard my head start to buzz, now it's fun, I lied and said that I got into trouble with this kind of thing, what should I do in the future?
The mother asked, "Why? You still don't want to, don't forget where you came from, we can't forget our roots!"
Hearing my mother complain so much, I had to reluctantly agree: "Oh, I know, when will he come?"
The mother hesitated for a while, then said with a smile: "That, he also has a cousin named Xuanyun, and he is the only one left in the family, the two of them will arrive in Shanghai in about two days this afternoon, you can pick them up at the train station!"
After hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "What?
As soon as my mother heard that I was pushing, she immediately complained to me and said, "What's wrong with the two of us, we are all relatives, of course we must help them with all our might! You are an elder, remember to take good care of them, the train at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't miss the time." If you lose them, I'll tell you you don't have to go home, I'll treat you as if I never gave birth to you!"
"Oh!" I heard my mother say this, what else could I refute, but I had to promise her: "Okay, I know, I will go to the train station in advance to wait for them at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
Hearing me say this, my mother smiled and handed the phone to my father.
My father, who had been a soldier and was rather upright, also told me: "Feng'er, you are the only college student in our village, you must not be ashamed! Work well in Shanghai, your two nephews must take good care of them, your mother's eyes are swollen from crying when she sees them, she is just such an aunt! I won't say more, think about it yourself!"
As soon as my father opened his mouth, he taught me a lesson, hey, what else could I say, and I had no better way than to say yes.
After hanging up the phone, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the red hundred-dollar bill, which was already all my belongings. How can a hundred dollars settle the two of them?
I threw my head back on the bed, wondering how I could help them both settle in first.
At this time, my roommate said to me: "Xiao Feng, I am going to travel to the north with my girlfriend for the summer, maybe a month or two, let me tell you!", after saying that, he began to continue to make clothes on the bed.
I quickly rolled over and asked, "What's the matter?"
The roommate smiled: "Yes, we are the 11 o'clock train, and we have to leave soon!"
After saying that, he carried a large backpack on his back, and then dragged a suitcase directly out of the dormitory.
It will take him a month or two to come back, so if he can't, he will put those two distant relatives in the dormitory, and then think of other ways later.
At noon, I could only eat a casual bowl of noodles in the cafeteria, and in order to take care of them, it seemed that I had to save every dime.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into Chen Liang, and he hurriedly pulled me and asked, "Brother Xiao, you have been fascinated for the past two days, why are you here? I have been to your dormitory several times and I can't see it, could it be that I broke up with Wang Jiali, and I am not in a good mood?"
...... , this damn guy, how could a casual joke hit the nail on the head, I sighed: "Hey, yes, we broke up!"
Who knew that Chen Liang actually laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, it's a good thing! Why are you going here, when I finish eating, I will invite you to the Internet café in the afternoon and have a good afternoon with you! Just think of me as celebrating your happy breakup!"
............
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said with a smile: "No, I have to rush to the train station to pick up my two distant relatives immediately, and I won't play games with you!"
"Now?" Chen Liang took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then turned around and pulled me as he walked and said: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to pick it up, I'm too lazy to eat lunch!
Originally, I thought it was annoying for him to be sticky around me, but when I heard him say that he wanted to help me entertain them, I immediately came to my senses, and pulled Chen Liang out of school with a smile.
We were all children of poor families and couldn't afford to take a taxi, so we took the bus all the way to the train station.
Suddenly I remembered one thing, I didn't know them here, and my mother didn't tell me what they looked like. I was dumbfounded when I thought of this, so I had to hurry to find waste paper at the gate of the train station.
Just as someone else threw the cards aside after picking them up, I immediately picked them up and wrote the names of Wen Yuan and Xianyun with a pen on the back.
After tossing for a long time, I was relieved to wait for their arrival.
Villagers don't know the outside world very well, and my mother probably thought that at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, this railway station would be a train from Hunan to Shanghai! As a result, Chen Liang and I stupidly waited from 2 to 2:50, and our eyes were both through it, and no one came to take care of us.
Well, I'm stupid again, I should have gone to the information desk to ask for the arrival time of the train from Hunan!
Just when Chen Liang and I were disheartened, two young men, one tall and one short, suddenly walked over, looking at the cards in my hand seriously, and the tallest one said to me with a smile: "Uncle, is it you? I'm Wenyuan!"
This is the first time that someone older than me has called me uncle, and I was very surprised to look at it! I saw that this Wen Yuan was almost as tall as me, with a look of one meter seven or eight, and the clothes on his body could really be seen at a glance that he was from the countryside, but he and his cousin Xianyun's skin was actually very white, and they didn't look like people living in the countryside. This manifestation cloud is only 1.65 meters long, but it is full of muscles, and it is estimated that it still has some strength.
I waved the cards into the trash, and then introduced them and said, "This is my classmate, his name is Chen Liang, you can just call his name, and don't bring seniority." ”
Wen Yuan nodded very politely and said, "Okay, hello Chen Liang, I am Xiao Feng's nephew named Wen Yuan!", after speaking, he shook hands with Chen Liang very politely.
Chen Liang was very thick, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiao Feng's relatives are also my relatives, we are the best buddies in the school!
"Okay!" replied Wen Yuan with a smile, reaching for his backpack.
I hurriedly bent down to get it, wanting to help them with their backpacks, but was politely stopped by Wen Yuan, he smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be polite to me, we can just come by ourselves, it's not heavy at all!"
It's not heavy at all, I feel a little nervous when I see such a big bag, but it seems to be really light on Wen Yuan's back, it seems that Wen Yuan's strength is not small.
After picking them up, it was too hot outside, so I rushed back to school with them!
After putting all their things in the dormitory, and then accompanied them to eat under the leadership of Chen Liang!
I said it was late lunch, but it turned out that it was four o'clock in the afternoon when the meal started, so I would eat it together as dinner, and by the way, I would solve it.
The people from the countryside are relatively honest, and the two of them only care about eating, and they don't say a word, and they eat with relish.
Chen Liang quickly ate his fill, he took a sip of soda, and asked Wen Yuan, "Hey Wen Yuan, do you know how to play computer games?
Wen Yuan shouldn't have been to school much, he is twenty-five years old this year, and he is obviously past the age of fun. Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan replied with a smile: "Okay, but we can't play, but we can accompany my uncle and you together!"
Chen Liang is very funny, he has spent so much thought today, and he is determined to pull me to play a few games of 3C! He also didn't care whether Wen Yuan was really willing to accompany him, and directly decided to go to the Internet café after eating!
Well, of course, it is up to them to pay for a treat, and I have to let the boss who pays for it arrange it.
Boss Chen was very domineering, paid the bill and left, and dragged us to a nearby Internet café.
The Internet café was comfortable, and the air conditioner blew very much, so we asked for two machines, and then sat down and started playing.
I have always felt that Wen Yuan and Xianyun's tempers are very good, and the laughter they watched with them on the side was not boring, but very happy!
I always feel that Wen Yuan's mind is very smart, he only watched me play a few sentences, and then he will pay attention to the other party's whereabouts from the small map! Every time the other party goes into the cave to grab the treasure, he will always remind me as soon as possible, and let me keep the wind to go in to kill people and seize the treasure.
We played until late at night before leaving the Internet café, and this time it was really fun, completely satisfying Chen Liang's desire to win five consecutive victories!
After saying goodbye to Chen Liang, I took Wen Yuan and Xianyun back to the dormitory! When I passed by the barbecue stall, I gritted my teeth and bought a few skewers of mutton for the two of them, which can be regarded as an elder who can't snub them!
Wen Yuan and Xianyun ate very happily, and the two of them smiled silly at me while eating.
When I got back to the dormitory, I immediately took them to take a shower and turned on the ceiling fan in the dormitory, it was too hot.
Wen Yuan and Xianyun were probably too tired, and as soon as they fell into bed, the two of them lay down on my roommate's bed and fell asleep together!
Looking at the two of them asleep, my mind began to surge, what should I do?
Originally, my own food and clothing were a problem, but this time there are two young and strong relatives, and it will be a big problem to eat in the future!
Then it occurred to me that the mysterious boss, maybe I would go and show them the oracles, and if they were happy with me, they would reward me with some money!
I wasn't greedy for money in the first place, but eating is a problem right now, and I can't do anything about it.
The most important thing is that Wang Jiali chose to leave me, a large part of the reason is because I am poor! Although Wang Jiali has never told me this, I can tell from her eyes that she actually cares a lot!
Who doesn't care about money?
If you want to take care of these two juniors, it seems that you have to make more money, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the museum! I heard that the archaeological out-of-town subsidy is quite good, so I decided that night, I chose to go to the Shanghai Institute of Cultural Relics for internship first, hoping to stay and continue to work in research in the future!
