Chapter 34: The First Summer Vacation
The second half semester of the freshman year ended quickly, and one third of the students in the department had passed English level 4 last semester, and another third of them had passed level 4 this semester, and there were several students like Huang Bibo, Jin Bo, Liu Yuting and other eight students, and this semester even passed English level 6. Scarface basically has the worst English score in the whole department, so he has never dared to apply for level 4, but with the help of Gai Lili in the past few months, Scarface scored 68 points in the final exam of this semester. Although in terms of grade points, it is the same as the 61 points of last semester, but in Scarface's opinion, the two scores are very different. It was obvious that the teacher deliberately took care of him last semester, but this semester is real, and he is already confident that he will get the fourth grade in the next semester.
Before the holidays, the jobs of both tutors are over, and Scarface has not found any new jobs. He called Xiao Wang, the personnel officer of Nagano Apparel, and asked if there were any plans to recruit holiday workers this summer, and the other party answered with certainty that he didn't. As a result, Scarface will have nothing to do this summer, and it seems that he will only be able to go home once. But where is his home, the house now belongs to Shi Hu's family, and the land belongs to Yang Liankui's family, and there are no relatives in the local area, so it's not interesting to go back.
I just asked Shi Hu's family for the rest of the house money, and then went to the village committee and the town to issue a certificate to prepare for the special poverty subsidy for the next semester, and there was nothing to do for the rest of the time. He is also ready to see the situation of Yang Liankui's family's land payment, and he will come all at once if he can ask for it, and if he can't do it, he will reduce it a little. After all, I need to open a certificate once a year, let them help open it, and I have to give someone something in return. If you don't say anything about going back next year, you will have to pay more than 200 round-trip fares, which is not enough to toss.
Aunt Han also asked him to go to their house every Saturday to improve the food at first, but since Xiaochao didn't need counseling and adjusted his state, Scarface was embarrassed to go to other people's houses to eat. Aunt Han called twice, but Scarface politely refused, and never called again. Scarface called Aunt Han before the holiday, asked Xiaochao about his recent studies, asked him to pay more attention to rest before the exam, and so on. Aunt Han also chatted with him about his summer plans, and was also helping to see if he could find a place to work temporarily, but in the end there was no contact, so he probably didn't find it. In those years, the supply of labor was far greater than the demand, and it was difficult to find a regular part-time job, and it was even more difficult to find such temporary jobs.
The school officially ends on July 5 and starts on August 26, and if you stay at school for 50 days, it will be a lot of money. Scarface decided to go back to Luliang, and if Sister Zhaodi's hotel could find a job, it would be okay. If you really can't go back to your hometown, help others do farm work, and just eat and live without earning expenses, everyone should still be very welcome. Anyway, it's certain to go back this semester, so go back early and have a look.
Since the ticket was not bought in advance, the ticket bought by Scarface did not have a seat, and it was in time for the holiday, and there were a lot of people on the train. After a painful journey of more than ten hours, Scarface finally came to the Lvliang Railway Station, listening to the thick Lvliang dialect, which made Scarface's depressed mood feel much better all of a sudden. It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon when I got off the train, and I thought about going back to my hometown to do the most important thing on the train, but when I got off the train, I felt that after all, Lu Liang was better than below to find a job, so I should go to Sister Zhaodi's house first to see if I could have a job opportunity. When I think of Sister Zhaodi, I have new expectations in my heart, and it would be great if I could relive the old dream by the way.
Scarface took the bus to the vicinity of Zhao Di's house, bought some fruit on the side of the road for five yuan, and went directly to Zhao Di's house. It was Sister Zhao Di who opened the door, and Scarface was a little excited in her heart, it seemed that she really had a chance.
"Jiazheng, it's a holiday. How did you come during the winter vacation last year, even if you have a little conscience, you still know how to come and see my sister. Zhao Di's face was a little crimson, and she was really happy to see Scarface, so she asked.
"I worked in Bincheng during the winter vacation, and I didn't find a suitable job during the summer vacation, so I came back to see if Sister Zhaodi had a suitable part-time job." Scarface said as he entered the door, looking at Sister Zhao Di's red face, he thought that Sister Zhao Di was excited to see him.
"The army, they can't afford to sleep all afternoon, and the guests are here." Sister Zhao Di shouted into the room, and the little expectation in Scarface's heart suddenly dissipated, it turned out that Zhang Dajun was at home.
"Hello brother-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb my brother-in-law's rest." Scarface watched Zhang Dajun yawn listlessly and came out of the house, and hurriedly greeted him in advance.
"Who is this?" Zhang Dajun didn't know Scarface, looked at Zhao Di and asked.
"This is what I often call Uncle Lu's family, a top student of Bincheng University, who saved Xiaobao's life before reporting to school last year." Zhao Di introduced.
"Oh, Jiazheng, I'm sorry, I just can't remember when I say it's so familiar, I'm sorry, my brother-in-law doesn't have a good memory when he's old, don't mind. Feel free to sit. Zhang Dajun politely asked Scarface to sit down, in fact, the two of them had never met at all, it was impossible to be familiar, just to politely relieve the embarrassment of not knowing each other just now.
"Xiaobao and leash are not at home?" After chatting for a while, Scarface asked.
"Both of them just got married a few months ago, and they have been alone outside, so don't leave at night, eat something at home, and I will call both the leash and Xiaobao over." Zhao Di said.
"What are you doing eating at home, how tired you are, go to the restaurant, I'll arrange it, it's convenient to have your own hotel." Dajun glanced at Zhao Di and said.
"Then go to the hotel, it's rare for you to think so much about me." Zhao Di was very satisfied with the words of the army.
"Of course, I don't love you, who loves you." Dajun walked over to make a phone call, and pinched Zhao Di's buttocks hard, Zhao Di also smiled and glanced at him, and glanced at Scar's face again. Scarface kept his head down, but he kept sweeping Zhao Di's plump buttocks with his spare eyes, and he was still regretting that he couldn't achieve his wish. When he saw the intimate movements of the two, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stared at the water cup in his hand, pretending not to see anything.
Zhang Dajun quickly arranged everything, and the three of them said some short gossip from their parents, and went to the hotel under the leadership of Zhang Dajun. Xiaobao is still very enthusiastic when he sees Scarface, but he looks more raw when he is tied up, the two got married on the same day, and it has only been three months now, but he can't see the joy that newlyweds should have. The two brides look pretty good, not the two women from last year, they look very good, their stomachs have been slightly bulging, and they have been at least five months old, and Scarface probably knows the reason why the two are not very happy after they got married.
During the meal, he was tethered and rarely spoke, and Xiaobao kept talking, and Xiaobao also invited Scarface to stay in his new home for two days. As a result, Xiaobao's wife said: "You don't want to go home every day, and you invite others to go home." ”
"Aren't I too busy at work and too late every day, for fear of affecting the rest of you and the baby in your belly?" Xiao Bao said with a smile.
"You're really busy, only you know, when you're not busy, you'll bring back a group of babies," Xiaobao's wife said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, it's not a shame, if you have something to do, go back and talk about it, don't be embarrassed here. Xiaobao, you too, how busy the work of the hotel can be, your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, and I don't know how to accompany her when I feel distressed. Zhao Di said unhappily.
Now the three hotels of the army are basically handed over to Xiaobao to take care of, and the army is entrusted with a very idle job in other institutions. During the meal, Zhao Di still remembered that Scarface said that he wanted to find a part-time job as soon as he entered the door, so he asked Xiaobao and Tie if he had a suitable job, but there was no answer that Scarface wanted. During the meal, Zhao Di and Xiaobao chatted with Scarface enthusiastically as always, and let him talk about the trivial things of college life and what he saw in Bincheng. Several people chatted until more than ten o'clock, except for Xiaobao and Zhaodi, everyone else had already become impatient, and finally Zhang Dajun spoke, and it was only after this not very warm reception that ended. But people are already very good, and if they are not relatives, they are ordinary neighbors, so it can be said that they are benevolent and righteous.
After eating, Scarface and Zhao Di came to Zhao Di's house, and it was almost eleven o'clock. Zhang Dajun yawned again without saying a few words when he came back, and Zhao Di also said a few words to Scarface and went back to the house to take a bath and sleep. After Scarface finished taking a bath, lying on the bed, he couldn't help but think of the past with Sister Zhaodi, which made him feel a burst of heat, so he got up lightly and prepared to take a cold shower. As soon as I arrived at the door of the bathroom, I vaguely heard the voice of Zhao Di and his wife, Scarface was still a little unbalanced in his heart, and felt that the location of the house should be his own, but in fact he was just a stand-in for others, and when he thought that he was really shameless, he wanted to replace him.
"You can't do it, what are you always torturing me." Zhao Di whispered.
"You get me another pill and I'll try it." Dajun said
"You don't want to die, people say that this medicine can't be taken often, one pill a day is enough, didn't you take one pill in the afternoon."
"I felt like I was going to get up in the afternoon, so that kid knocked on the door and lost it."
"Don't complain nonsense, turn it over and transfer it in the afternoon to torture people, if it weren't for people knocking on the door, I would have liked to bite off your soft and collapsed machine, who can stand it if you toss people like this."
"Then you give it to you, you watch educational movies like that."
"Go to your little goblin, and let her suffer the sins she has done."
"Look why are you mentioning those rotten sesame seeds of Chen Guzi again, don't I come back to accompany you every day."
"Let the family collapse the body and come back, you might as well not come back, if you don't come back, I'll be quiet alone, who can bear this sin every day. If you torture me like this again, I'll go outside and find one. ”
"Okay, okay, I won't torture you, don't I feel indebted to you, I want to make it up to you."
"You'd better take care of your body first, don't just count on those medicines, you can go to sleep in that house starting tomorrow." Wait until you don't have to rely on the drug machine to get up and come back. ”
……
The next day, Scarface and Sister Zhaodi said goodbye to each other, and got on the bus back to Fangshan County. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon before arriving in the town, and he could only talk about it after lunch in the town, Scarface decided to take the opportunity to visit the woman, apologize to others, and don't let this innocent poor woman live in the shadows forever and suffer for the rest of her life.
"The boss will have two bowls of noodles and add more chopped green onions." Scarface walked into the plum noodle restaurant that had been renamed from Mazi Noodle Restaurant, it was already past two o'clock, and the hall was empty, and he said with his back to the inside. He didn't want the other party to see him as soon as he came out, and then he was in a mess, so that he couldn't even eat.
"Hey, here we are. Are you the only one? Whether it is boiled all at once or a bowl of rice is cooked again, we have a large amount here, and a bowl that is not very large is enough. A nice-sounding woman's voice came from behind. Looking at Scarface's body shape and clothing, he didn't feel like he was always doing hard work, so he reminded him very honestly.
"Well, just one person. Cook it all, I'm starving. Scarface replied, and he still hadn't looked back.
"You use it slowly, and the bowl will be served immediately." The women were quickly ready to be brought over, and they didn't look at each other.
"Ah" When the second bowl was served, the woman walked to the opposite side of Scarface for the convenience of putting the bowl, and wanted to put the bowl next to it first, but then she saw the whole picture of Scarface, and suddenly forgot to put down the bowl, and the hot soup was spilled on her hand and was burned and shouted.
"Sister Meizi, what's wrong, you see that you don't pay attention to it, it's hot." The woman is only thirty-five years old this year, and although the woman may have had some affairs with him, Scarface feels that he and the woman should be considered peers. He didn't want the woman to feel embarrassed, so he didn't call the aunt and called the sister directly. He also knew how the woman would react once she saw him, so as soon as the woman came over, he was stunned, and quickly took the bowl, otherwise the bowl of noodles would definitely fall to the ground.
"Ah, well, that, it's Jiazheng, you're on vacation?" The woman didn't know what to say, so she asked in a panic.
"Well, it's been a few days off, and I've just come back and I'm going to go home this afternoon. Sister Mei Zi has been fine for more than a year. Scarface said with a pretended lightheartedness.
"Well, good. It's okay to adapt to college, don't be too yourself, and there is no one to help you, how can you get through the past few years, it's really a sin. The woman thought of Scarface being alone, and going to college was also a matter of spending money, and she didn't know how to think of Tiezhu's death, and felt that it was all her own harm, and if Scarface finally failed to go to college because of lack of money, she didn't know how to face it. As he spoke, tears flowed out.
"It's okay, okay, the school has a special poverty subsidy, and I also use my spare time to work to earn money, and college fees are not a problem. You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's none of your business. Scarface knew that the other party was still blaming himself, so he took the opportunity to pick up the topic.
"Really, that's good, that's good," the woman said, wiping away her tears and looking at Scarface.
"Everything will pass, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and any difficulties will be over." Scarface had finished eating by this time, and kept comforting the poor woman while also cheering herself up.
"You don't hate me anymore, you came to me when you were leaving last year, and you looked at you like you were like, hey, don't say anything, you can't do anything too much, you did something wrong, and you deserve to be punished." The woman sighed.
"Don't always think like that, it's none of your business. I am here today to apologize for last year's reckless behavior, and I would like to ask for your forgiveness. Scarface said sincerely.
"Hey, it doesn't matter, if it weren't for me, everyone would be fine, hey, no matter what, you don't hate me, let me feel a little better." The woman still kept blaming herself.
"It has nothing to do with you at all, if everyone can control themselves, how can those things happen, they don't have self-control. I really don't blame you, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself, whoever has the problem is the one who is responsible. Because this kind of thing involves men and women, Scarface can't say it too directly, but he can say it very directly.
Everyone has an awakening period, but the awakening sooner or later determines the fate of the individual, Scarface hopes that Sister Meizi will wake up as soon as possible, get rid of the pain, and face the future life again.
