Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Thousand Birds Fly
In the afternoon, Bai Mang went back to the dormitory to make the small program of "Turtle Soup", and she needed to edit the question bank in the background.
Bai Mang typed in three simple turtle soup type questions.
Question 1: Why are flowers funny?
Question 2: A gay goes to get a tattoo, and the word "fortune" is tattooed on the butt egg, why?
Question 3: A man comes home and sees his partner dead at home with a baby next to him? Guess cause and effect.
Gu Jie looked at the question she typed.
Gu Jie: "The first one is a laughing (school) flower?" β
Bai Mang: "That's not right. Because the flower has a stalk. β
Gu Jie pouted: "Isn't this a brain teaser from before?" β
The second, Gu Jie quickly guessed and confidently reported the answer: "Because Gong (attack) likes to make a fortune." β
Sure enough, in this field, Gu Jie's talent type is relatively strong. Bai Mang made a gesture of correct answering.
Gu Jie's eyes stared forward and looked at the third question.
The third question has a bit of reasoning concepts, Gu Jie guessed a few times and didn't guess, put a stinky face to show his resignation, then propped one hand on the desk, leaned over his face slightly, looked at Bai Mang's face with an inquiring expression, and looked at it: "I didn't go home last night, where did I go?" β
Bai Mang pulled the chair back, sat upright, looked back at Gu Jie head-on, and smiled refreshingly: "Guess?" β
Gu Jie clasped his hands on his chest, reluctant to interact with her.
Bai Mang changed this question to the turtle soup type, and asked Gu Jie with a smile: "Why did Bai Mang suddenly disappear by himself?" β
Gu Jie's stinky face cracked, his mouth pursed, and he was not willing to cooperate at all.
Bai Mang reported the answer to himself: "Because I am at a loss." β
Bai Mang continued with a smile: "Why does Gu Jie look unhappy? β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
"Because there are many worries!"
Gu Jie really wanted to beat Bai Mang, but someone was unscrupulous at all, like a greedy child, bending his eyebrows towards her. Obviously, Shuangshang is excellent, and he is upright and beautiful, but he likes to do some "intelligence-lowering" behaviors.
"Is it that funny?" Gu Jie asked.
"Hmm...... Funny. Bai Mang nodded, and the corners of his mouth were uncontrollable pleasure.
Maybe Gu Jie can't understand her, but after she went to college, the biggest difference is that she loves to smile more than before. Her soul seemed to be unsealed, and the laughter was activated.
The mobile phone rang, and Fang Zixin called.
Bai Mang answered without hurry, but Fang Zixin's slightly anxious voice came from the earpiece: "Bai Mang, are you free now?" β
"Yes."
"I forgot my laptop in my apartment, there was an important manuscript on it, I didn't back it up on my phone, and our boss had to work overtime for a meeting when he came back in the evening......"
Bai Mang glanced at the computer display time, and it was already past five o'clock.
Jiang Chuanyao set a time to pick her up at six o'clock in the evening.
"You send me the address of the unit."
Fang Zixin thanked her on the phone: "...... Mang'er, you're so good! β
"See you later!"
Bai Mang picked up the bag and got up, and behind her, Gu Jie asked her, "Do you still want to go out?" Don't you still have to watch a stage play at night? Wear so casually ......"
"Leave me the door tonightβ"
The dormitory door is closed.
-
Fang Zixin waited alone at the southeast gate of Huayi Building.
The twilight is faint. Fang Zixin's body image is a stupid goose looking around, after the internship, Fang Zixin has less of a rich second-generation obedient atmosphere, and more of a shrunken social animal temperament, except for the bag he is carrying.
It is a limited edition that is extremely difficult to determine.
After Bai Mang arrived, the time was just a quarter past six o'clock.
She had already sent a message to Jiang Chuanyao, and she didn't need to come to Lan Da to pick her up.
Bai Mang and Fang Zixin haven't eaten yet.
Fang Zixin invited her to eat Cantonese roast duck rice at a nearby roast goose restaurant, and sat opposite, Fang Zixin sighed at her with an uncomfortable look.
Bai Mang: "What's wrong?" "I guessed in my heart that the internship must be not going well, and the work is not easy to do.
Fang Zixin stated the original situation, she felt that she was going to be swept away by Huayi.
The boss didn't arrange things for her to do at all, she sat at her desk every day as a Buddha, even if she took the initiative to bring tea and water to others, everyone was not willing to trouble her.
"I also took the initiative to ask for the evening reading meeting, otherwise I would not have participated in it at all."
"You also told me, don't give up. So I deliberately wrote a feeling after reading, originally the boss of our department will come back next week, I also want to polish the manuscript, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon today to ask for overtime, so I can only use this manuscript to talk casually. β
Fang Zixin spread his hands, and when he was chopping rice, he also opened his notebook to review the manuscript. "Mang, you can help me see if there is a wording problem." Fang Zixin turned the computer screen.
Bai Mang sighed, looked at the manuscript that Fang Zixin rushed out, and saw a familiar name in the title.
"Exploring the ......meaning of Bai Qianxi's ending of "A Thousand Birds", Bai Mang read out the title in Fang Zixin's document in a low voice.
Fang Zixin laughed twice, with a little rash self-satisfaction: "Thank you Lin Zhi for the first time, I praised Bai Qianxi in the group last night, which gave me inspiration." β
Bai Mang looked at Fang Zixin's manuscript, Fang Zixin would pick up cheap, Lin Zhi and Lin Sheng, the two sisters and brothers, discussed the work "A Thousand Birds" in the group, and Fang Zixin picked it all up and wrote it in her feelings after reading.
"Have you ever watched Chidori?" Bai Mang asked Fang Zixin.
Fang Zixin shook his head, that was right: "You know, I never read books." β
Fang Zixin is not a big cute, he is a book maniac, the only extracurricular reading material Fang Zixin reads is comics, but Fang Yuhuan also did everything possible to stuff Fang Zixin into the publishing house.
Bai Mang has already revised this post-reading feeling for Fang Zixin, but fortunately, it is Bai Qianxi's "Thousand Birds" after reading, and it is easy to revise it.
Fang Zixin's eyelids drooped: "Mang'er, am I very vegetable?" β
"Hmm." Bai Mang nodded, and the ten fingers of the white onion tapped quickly on the notebook keyboard, gently crispy.
Fang Zixin looked dejected and said heartfeltly: "In the past, I always disliked the vulgar behavior of the concubine, but now I think it would be good if I could always be a second-generation nouveau riche." β
Bai Mang raised his head and affirmed Fang Yuhuan and said, "Your mother is not vulgar at all, she is a very positive and wise woman." β
Fang Zixin pursed her lips weakly and paused, "What about your mother, you keep saying that your mother doesn't have a job, what kind of person is she, how did she give birth to a daughter who is so good." β
Bai Mang smiled briefly, and his tone was light: "My mother is a fairy." β
Fang Zixin: "Then my mother is Rulai." β
"Now that Lao Ding is not here, let's just make a match, let your mother meet with my mother, and we will have a meal together." Fang Zixin came up with an idea and said.
"Do you think, your mother doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and my mother is full of fireworks, wouldn't it be nice if the two of them could synthesize?" The more Fang Zixin spoke, the more he went up.
ββ¦β¦β
Bai Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his attention paused on a certain line in the document.
Fang Zixin sneered at the corner of her mouth and continued to joke: "Anyway, now your mother is alone, and my mother is basically alone, it is better for our two families to live together, anyway, Lao Ding is eating public meals carefree inside." β
Bai Mang: "......"
After a while, "Fang Zixin, you really have an idea." β
Fang Zixin pursed her lips and hurriedly explained: "I'm joking." β
"No, you're fine." Bai Mang blinked, and a little determined light appeared in his gaze, "Let's really try to match?" β
Fang Zixin: Is "......" serious?
Bai Mang was sure that he was very serious, if Bai Hui was willing to live with Fang Yuhuan, with Fang Yuhuan's extremely strong infectious ability, maybe Bai Hui's illness would slowly get better.
"I'll help you revise the draft, and you and your mother will mention it." Bai Mang offered a quid pro quo.
"If it can be done. I can help you write your thoughts after reading the meeting in the future. Bai Mang added another condition.
Fang Zixin: "...... Let me think about it. β
Bai Mang smiled gratefully at Fang Zixin, sincere enough, and the smile on his face was very bright.
But......
Fang Zixin lowered his head in shame, a little afraid to look at Bai Mang, mainly because of his weak heart and a little subtle embarrassment. Earlier, she said that letting the two families live together is purely lip service.
Mouth hi is mouth hi, the truth is the truth.
The truth is not that two women can't live together, but that her family is not what it used to be!
It's all about to go bankrupt, how can you raise another person!
In the past, her family didn't talk about raising one white mang, ten white mangs were no problem.
Now in the situation at home, how dare you easily agree to raise one more person......
Fang Zixin has always loved face, and for a person who loves face, poverty is the most difficult entanglement and embarrassment to talk about. Fang Yuhuan has already restricted her living expenses on the grounds of her work, except for the initial 5,000 yuan for workplace clothing, and then no more money will be given to her. The publishing house is not a high-paying industry, and her internship salary this month is not enough to pay the rent of the apartment.
So now she can only treat Bai Mang in this place.
It's not her who picks.
Lose face.
Disturbing.
"If the above is not enough for my sincerity, I am willing to give you half of my private money." Bai Mang gently opened his lips and pretended to say casually.
Yes.
Fang Zixin's eyes blinked, and the most casual words were the most heartfelt.
She was in her heart.
"Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'm already bothering your family...... I can't ask too much, and I want to bring my mother from my hometown with me. Bai Mang's voice suddenly fell, and the clear sound quality could not hide the softness of his tone.
Faintly, Bai Mang sniffed, and his voice was a little more nasal.
"I am now studying alone in a big city, enjoying the convenience and glamorous university life, and my mother lives alone in a house in the mountains, sometimes the house runs out of gas, and I need to chop wood to cook. She is not good at intersections, she doesn't have a friend in her hometown, and no one will help her when she encounters problems...... Just thinking about it makes me feel very sad and very unhappy. β
Fang Zixin was shocked......
It turns out that Bai Mang used to live like this, no wonder she cherishes food so much, so precious her pile of broken copper and scrap iron, everything has logic.
In these years, there are still a few people living in the mountains!
Fang Zixin took Bai Mang's hand, and changed from a social animal back to the appearance of a righteous eldest sister: "Mang'er, we are a family, let's find a way together to try to let your mother live with my mother as soon as possible and live a good life." β
Forehead...... That's weird to say.
Bai Mang raised his eyes and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, Xinzi." β
Fang Zixin actually said: "It's really not good, we'll find a job for your mother in the future." β
Bai Mang nodded, his expression solemn, and sighed: "...... Let's hope she gets a job. β
Fang Zixin silently chopped rice...... Don't dare to pick up the stubble.
An imbecile woman living in the mountains, who can guarantee that she will find a job in the city.
-
The stage play "A Thousand Birds" opened at eight o'clock, and at half past eight, Jiang Chuanyao was still standing at the ticket gate of the Grand Theater.
He was tall and a man, attracting the attention of the staff at the ticket gate, who glanced at him from time to time.
What the hell is a girlfriend...... My boyfriend is so handsome and late.
The new Grand Theater of Lan City is located at the head of a bay in the north of the Baijiang River in Lan City, and is the most beautiful building built in Baijiang District in five years.
The huge white shell was shining with a bright and transparent light, and at the entrance of the Jiangchuan Grand Theater, half of the light and half of the shadow hit him, and the night breeze blew his windbreaker lightly, and after the excitement of the collective entrance, he looked a little monotonous alone.
He's not used to waiting for people, but he has a feeling of anticipation in his heart, which is not bad.
Bai Mang explained to him on his mobile phone: "You go in first, it will take an hour for me to come over." β
"Take your time, don't rush." He advised.
After another ten minutes, Jiang Chuanyao walked to the intersection to smoke, and a beautiful figure was like a light that pushed away the crowd and slowly walked towards him.
He puffed out his cigarette.
Bai Mangyang smiled and stepped forward to hug her boyfriend: "I'm sorry...... There was a traffic jam. β
Jiang Chuanyao hugged his girlfriend with one hand.
"Where's Lin Sheng?" She asked deliberately with a taunt.
"She's already in."
"She's alone?"
"Guess?"
"I guess she must have brought her boyfriend with her, too. β
"How do you know?"
Jiang Chuanyao's hand went down from her waist and took his girlfriend's hand, and his ten fingers "hugged" each other tightly.
Bai Mang looked up with a smile, a smile all melted into the light and shadow, and there was a fine light hanging on his thick eyelashes, "Because my man will definitely not embarrass me." β
However, Lin Sheng has a boyfriend, and she has known about it for a long time.
Jiang Chuanyao took her to the Grand Theater, and after a while, he said arrogantly: "Don't talk big, child." I'm not your man yet. β
------Off topic------
Bai Mang: Sooner or later.
