I can't believe it. Xinlan went out of the educated youth office and went to the street, still doubting everything she had just passed. She knew that all this was true, but she still secretly pinched her arm, and when everything was confirmed according to common sense, her anxious heart was at peace a little, and she began to enjoy the joy in her heart.

In fact, she also knows that it may be too early to return, but she can feel that this should be a key node, after all, the role played by a word between the leaders is not comparable to the words of ordinary people. She could even imagine the meeting between Director Zhou and Director Fan. She knows the weight of the conversation between the administrative function and the enterprise, and this indicates that there is 70% or 80% hope for this matter, and she is really happy and her mood is naturally relaxed.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Xinlan is in a high mood, and the most hated wind in doing business in the past is also particularly pleasing today, making her feel that the reason why the air is fresh is all due to the wind.

Back in the square, although the afternoon movie is not over, the gate of the courtyard has been opened. Sun Wei's motorcycle is on the edge of the store.

Xinlan knew that the end would only be a matter of a while, so she went to open the store, sat at the counter and rested, while waiting for the end to pick up the business. But just like that, my mind kept returning to the afternoon. When will Director Zhou's summary be held!? She didn't know. But Director Zhou asked her to go to the factory to urge again after she came back, and she remembered it in her heart. It seems that this is a critical trip, I should think about it carefully, seize this opportunity, and I must not be like the last time, there is no effect at all. But where do you go this time?

Xinlan couldn't help but think about the money she earned during this time. So he got up and walked to the counter, opened the locked drawer, took out a small cloth bag, and emptied the money inside into the open drawer. Banknotes of different sizes such as ten yuan and five yuan were mixed with steel coins, and suddenly spread out, filling the drawer in front of them, exuding a unique fragrance of ink. Xinlan likes this feeling, especially now when she needs money urgently.

Originally, she was supposed to sort out the money, but she deliberately didn't sort it out, just looked at it, and when she was thinking about it, she thought of a sentence she heard in her hometown, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. I remember that it was in the square of the Siyan Well, everyone was chatting, mentioning the two years of reform and opening up, people are trying their best to make money, Yang Qingpo's old Zhang family at the east end of the street has a brother named Jun Ke, seized the opportunity, made a fortune by selling cigarettes and matches, and became a well-known 10,000 yuan household, or even 100,000 yuan household. When the business is good, the money collected is temporarily placed in the cardboard box, just like the money he puts in the drawer, and he can't count as much as he can't count, so that Yang Qing's eyebrows fluttered when he said it at the time, which made the fat sister-in-law present unaccustomed to it, and she didn't know if it was jealousy or what the origin was, so she said: What are you happy about, no matter how much he has, he will not let you spend a penny, the richer he is, the more he will pick! Now that I think about it, judging from the scene of the people present at that time, many of them were still envious. But on the other hand, the fat sister-in-law is not wrong, other people's money is someone else's after all, and you have the last word, and you have the momentum. If you want to say that it's true, some things are not all about money, just take the things that went to the educated youth this time, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, but I didn't give Director Zhou a little, and Director Zhou directly said something to help; And here, Director Fan, he has been there many times, but he still can't see any hope, why is this? Is it the reason for the big gap in life? Not necessarily. It seems that what the ancients said is not an eternal truth, and it is not entirely true that money can make ghosts grind, this can only be said to people who love money. Now, from the perspective of Director Fan, it is either that he does not give enough money, or that Director Fan is too greedy.

Xinlan couldn't control her thinking, and when she was guessing and thinking about how to pass the level of Director Fan, she suddenly cared about the amount of money. Although this money has been counted many times, and I know how much money I count, I still feel that I should sort it out, after all, it is time to use it. She sorted out the money in order of large and small denominations, set aside a little turnover, and put the rest together to make up a complete number, three hundred and fifty yuan, bundled into a bundle, wrapped it in a bag, and locked it in a cupboard.

When she was done and sat back on the stool, Xinlan couldn't be quiet anymore, thinking about the harvest she had gained from her hardships during this time, and she was really unwilling to be sent out again. In this way, she struggled back and forth in her heart, and finally the idea of sending prevailed, after all, this kick at the door was not good, and she was stuck by Director Fan again, and it would be difficult to do things in the future.

Xinlan made up her mind, so she stopped dwelling, and calmed down and waited for the business to come to the door, just as the movie ended, people rushed out, and when the people were finished, only one person bought a box of two-dime cigarettes and gave four five-cent coins. Xinlan knew that this was the case at the end of the business, and she was not entangled.

Just when she was bored, Xinlan saw the coins she had just received on the table, and she suddenly had a strange idea in her heart, so she wanted to use coins to predict her luck, so she reached out and picked up one of the coins, and said silently in her heart: If it is 'face', it means that everything is going well this time, and if it is 'word', it is the opposite. After formulating the rules, she began to read silently in her heart, and at the same time put her hands together on the coin, prayed, threw it on the table, and then quickly "snapped" and said, "Noodles!" As she spoke, she opened her hand to look, but what she saw was a 'word'.

Xinlan was a little angry in her heart, so she suspected that she didn't throw the right reason, so she decided to win two out of three, and then threw two more times in a row, as she wished, these two times were 'noodles' after opening. Seeing such a result, Xinlan was very happy, but the more this was the case, the more ashamed she was of the fraud just now, so she decided to throw two more rounds, three times per game, three wins and two wins.

Xinlan made up her mind and started throwing again, but there was a dramatic scene in the result, and when there was still the last time, the positive and negative results were just a tie, which made Xinlan feel the importance of the last throw even more. So she was engrossed, prayed in her heart, threw it solemnly, and then shouted "face" in her mouth......

Sun Wei was the last to come out of the theater, and he came out after he helped clean up. The reason why he came out so late was actually because he had something to do with Aunt Xinlan, and he was afraid that coming out early would affect Aunt Xinlan's business. It turned out to be the dumplings that the old lady made for one person at noon today, and asked Sun Wei to pick up Xinlan and Li Li to eat, but because Sun Wei didn't say hello to Aunt Xinlan at the station where she ran first, so when he followed Li Li to the theater on a motorcycle, Xinlan had already locked the door and went to do errands. This incident made the old lady angry, and after a good meal to defeat Sun Wei, she repeatedly explained that she would definitely let Xinlan go at night. Therefore, Sun Wei remembered this matter and fell behind.

Coincidentally, when Sun Wei came out to the store, he happened to see Xinlan throwing the last time, he felt ridiculous, so he shouted with Xinlan's shout: "Noodles! ”

Unexpectedly, this shout made Xinlan distracted, and her hand lost her head without patting the coin, and the coin rolled and fell off the table, just rolling into the brick crack in the corner of the table, standing straight in the gap.

Xinlan never dreamed of such a result, and couldn't help laughing.

Sun Wei, who came in later, was curious, so he went to ask Aunt Xinlan about the result.

Xinlan couldn't answer, and felt strange, so she pointed to the coins in the brick crack and said to Sun Wei: "Look, in that brick crack, you tell me what the result is!" Give an explanation! ”

Sun Wei's shout affected the result, and the coin rolled down and stood vertically in the brick crack, which surprised Sun Wei a little. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this implication was good, so he opened his mouth and said to Aunt Xinlan: "Aunt, this result is good, but I don't know what you want to predict when you toss a coin?" ”

Xinlan listened to the question, so she simply told Sun Wei about going to the educated youth to do things.

When Sun Wei heard this, he thought about it for a while and said, "Aunt, I think this is a good sign." The vertical position of this coin indicates that the matter has reached a critical moment, and if you push harder, things will tilt in the direction of success; Of course, if you give up, this opportunity will be lost instantly, and there will be no chance to turn the tables around. I don't know if I'm right, but it looks like you're going to have to work harder! ”

Hearing Sun Wei say this, Xinlan also felt a little reasonable in her heart, so she nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about going in the next two days, and then I'll look for this Fan factory director." After speaking, he turned his head and said, "It's so late, why haven't you gone back?" ”

When Sun Wei heard this, he remembered the purpose of his visit, so he hurriedly said: "This is the task given to me by my grandmother." Originally, my grandmother made dumplings at noon, and at noon she said that I would pick you and Li Li to eat, so I planned to pick up Li Li first and then pick you up, but I didn't expect to come back, you have already gone to do something! It can't be helped, and it drags on until the evening. After that, I went out and started the motorcycle.

Xinlan followed behind and said, "Is Li Li still at home?" ”

Sun Wei said: "I can't wait for you, I'll send her away in the afternoon." ”

After speaking, Sun Wei went to start the motorcycle and slid over. When Xinlan saw it, she was also busy locking the door, came over and sat in the car pocket, watched Sun Wei start the car and run, and the two arrived at Sun Wei's house after a while.

Mrs. Sun had already made preparations, and when she heard the sound of the motorcycle outside, she knew that the person had arrived at home, so she went to the kitchen room to light the fire, sat on the pot, and waited for the water to boil the dumplings.

Xinlan and Sun Wei got out of the car at the door, entered the courtyard, and saw that the old lady was not there, so they knew that the old lady must be busy in the kitchen. When Sun Wei went to the house, Xinlan came directly to the kitchen, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Sun staring intently at the steaming pot lid. Looking at the old lady's serious expression, Xinlan smiled and said, "Mother, I'll come!" As he spoke, he replaced the old lady before leaving.

Mrs. Sun said: "I don't eat fresh food, but I have to eat leftovers!" At noon, I asked Sun Wei to pick you up, but who knows what, I didn't see you, I only picked up Li Li and came back alone, I didn't get together when I wanted our mother to get together, this looks like it's over, you're left alone, no way, I'll wrap up the rest of the stuffing in the afternoon. ”

Xinlan said: "It's windy today, business is not good, when I was busy in the store in the morning, my father and my mother felt that it was cold, and came to send me a quilt, I don't know how to touch me, I stopped there for a while, and when I moved back, let me go to the Youth Office to see the situation!" I was in a hurry to say this, so I left in a hurry at noon. But, mother! Don't say it, it's really going this time! If you don't go, you might be delayed. While talking, Xinlan was busy working, watching the heat lift the lid of the pot, she put the dumplings into the pot, pushed it with a spoon, and covered the pot again.

Mrs. Sun was not idle here, seeing that the dumplings were out of the pot, she went to get the plate out, and asked Xinlan after setting it up: "Then you said that you will go this time, will the matter be done?" ”

Xinlan said: "It's still early! Mother! But this time I went to meet a good fellow and said that he would help me ask in the past two days. ”

Mrs. Sun said: "Are you sure?" ”

Xinlan said: "It should be certain, because this matter is in a hurry, the institution is going to be withdrawn and merged, and there is a system summary meeting just two days later, and he said to help me talk about it." ”

When Mrs. Sun heard that, she also felt that what Xinlan said was a little hopeful, she knew that Xinlan was sad about this, and sometimes she sat together and wanted to ask, but she was afraid of arousing Xinlan's heart, so she couldn't ask, but now she saw hope, and she was also very happy. So he said: "If you are sure, hurry up!" This thing worries you all day long, but I don't dare to ask in my eyes, for fear that you will be uncomfortable and block you! ”

Xinlan said: "It's okay! Mother! There is a saying in the book that sometimes you must have it in your life, and you can't force it in your life! I'm running here and again, going to the factory in the past few days, and urging to see. ”

While talking, the dumplings were cooked and taken out of the pot, and the two of them brought the dumplings to the dining room one after the other, calling out Sun Wei to start eating.

During the meal, Mrs. Sun remembered Xinlan's words when she was cooking, and said to Sun Wei: "Xiaowei, your aunt is going to do something in the past two days, you are free to send her, or how tired you will be to run!" ”

Sun Wei said: "Grandma! Look at what you said, when do I not want to go? But my aunt always went without saying a word, I never knew! If she doesn't say it this time, I don't know. After speaking, he turned to Xinlan and said, "Auntie, do you say that these two days are cloudy or the day after tomorrow?" I'll send you there. Sun Wei said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly said: "It's the day after tomorrow!" It's a cloudy Sunday, and you can't find anyone to do anything! Isn't it? You see when you will go the day after tomorrow, tell me in advance, it doesn't matter if you are free or not, it's a big deal that I will find someone to change classes with me when I arrive! Sun Wei said nonchalantly, slowing down the pace of eating.

Xinlan saw it, afraid that everyone would only talk and cold the dumplings, so she hurriedly said to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, you eat quickly, don't be cold!" Don't worry about me here, I won't affect it sooner or later, Sun Wei won't affect his work here. Xinlan spoke, afraid that it would affect her meal, so she pointed to the dumplings on the plate with her fingers.

But Sun Wei remembered what his aunt said, and he remembered that she said that she would do it in the past two days, so he said while eating: "Auntie, on a cloudy day and Sunday, you will definitely not be able to do it, so come to Monday!" On Monday I'll let someone else take my place, and I'll send you there. ”

Xinlan didn't have a certain amount of time in her heart, but when she heard Sun Wei say this, she hurriedly said: "It's not certain when I'll go, you can go to work hard!" ”

Sun Wei knew that Aunt Xinlan's mind was afraid of troublesome herself, so she emphasized: "That's it, I'll send you to work the day after tomorrow, this matter can't be delayed any longer, you should prepare in advance, think about what to say when the time comes!" Sun Wei had a non-negotiable tone.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she also said on the side: "It's better to solve the matter as soon as possible, don't shirk it anymore!" ”

Speaking of this, Xinlan couldn't push it anymore, so she had to agree. Besides, she really wants to go early, otherwise with her own character, she doesn't know how many nights she will have to stay up here!
