Chapter 3: The heart is turbulent
In the afternoon, the Hunan expert that the company said came, I glanced at it, about 40 years old, not tall, not good-looking, but very polite, giving people a very modest feeling.
Xiao Chen and I numbly followed him to the small conference room, where he picked up his laptop and started his lecture directly. I sat up straight, my eyes focused on his computer and face, my thoughts wandering.
I don't know how long he spoke, but he seemed to ask us some questions in between, and I don't remember if I answered him, I just remember that I drank water twice, and then I kept nodding numbly, and my mouth was saying um, yes, okay.
When the lecture was over, I hurried back to my desk. Turning my head to look inside, she was still sitting in front of the computer, and I could still only see one monitor, unlike before, this time I looked at it for a long time, as if I could see through the monitor.
Xiao Chen was humming a little song in a low voice, pretending to be busy studying the expert's lecture just now. I stared blankly at the monitor and remembered something important, "How old is she?" It looks like I'm a few years younger than me, and I really can't understand the girl's age. I'm going to be okay with her, my parents shouldn't object to us getting married, right? ”
My mind was stuck in a dead end, one that worried about what might happen to me and her in the future. I think I've got water in my head.
Just when I was imagining the future infinitely, Xiao You suddenly stood up and looked up at me, I was a little stunned with her, something seemed wrong, she frowned tightly, and walked towards me, I suppressed the anxiety in my heart, hoping that she would not come to me and ask me why she looked at her like that.
Fortunately, she just said to Xiao Chen to me, "Your uniform is ordered, it is a suit, it costs 800, the boss said that the company will reimburse half of it, and you will each pay 400, do you have any money?" Just leave it to me. ”
"No", blurted out without thinking. What are you kidding, when did I have more than two hundred on me? "Will you hand it in tomorrow, I have to go and get the money".
"Okay, then you must remember to bring it to me tomorrow, don't forget."
"Okay, good, I won't forget."
Xiao Chen looked at the hundred or so pieces of money I took out from my trouser pocket, pursed his lips, took out his wallet with his hand, took out four hundred, and handed it directly to Xiao You. For the first time, I thought, why am I so poor, why don't I even have four hundred on me!
"Also, the boss said that the company only ordered a suit for you, and you have to buy your own matching shirts and leather shoes." Xiao Yu then gave me another shot.
"This company is really buckled", Xiao Chen whispered in my ear, "How can you let employees pay for it themselves, and it is stipulated that they buy this and that, the internship salary is only more than 2,000, and now I will go directly to half!" ”
"Isn't that normal? Why do we have to pay for the things we use ourselves, is there anything wrong with them? ”
"You know a fart, you just graduated, you don't understand anything, stay like you, the company will squeeze you dry sooner or later." Xiao Chen sat back a little impatiently.
And I just ignored his words, and the most important thing now is that I got so much money to buy shirts and shoes! The money left in the bank card is still the first time my mother saw me go to work this month, and I haven't been paid yet, so I gave me food money first. This is good, don't think about it for a while, I'll think about how to ask my family for some money first.
This afternoon, with a headache, when it was time to get off work, I walked downstairs, waved goodbye to Xiao Chen, and sat helplessly on the stone pillar next to the bus booth to wait for the bus (due to the bus route problem, take a bus when I go to work, and walk a short distance to the company. After work, you can take two buses to the dormitory from the company, don't ask me why, I don't understand, I just know that I just sit like this).
After a while, Xiao You also came down and walked all the way up from the opposite direction from me back to the dormitory.
"Where does she live? Don't have to take the bus? Why are you still walking? Without turning a corner, he walked straight along the main route and straight away. ”。 I watched her walk away until I couldn't see clearly, I couldn't see ......
On the way back to the dormitory, my classmates called me and asked me why I hadn't gone back yet, whether I had bought more food, and I would drink and eat at night. I want to tell him if I can save some money, let's not drink.
Just think about it, the events of the past two days, perhaps, should be a drink, let yourself vent, calm down. It's good to be a student, it's not so much!
In order to save some money, I took a detour to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, which is cheaper than the supermarket downstairs. I picked up some of my favorite water spinach and bought an extra handful. The fish stall is still killing fish, the big silver carp, the fish body said that it was used to make fish balls, and the fish heads were sold cheaply, and a big one was taken. When you come to the meat stall, forget it, buy less, eat more vegetables, and it is healthier. After buying it, I looked at it, I felt a little less, and I bought two packs of peanuts in the supermarket, and the peanuts here are still very delicious.
"What are you doing, are you going to starve us two?" As soon as I entered the door, my classmates questioned me loudly.
"The boss told me to work overtime, you can cook it yourself, anyway, you always hate me for cooking it unpalatable." I dropped the dishes and let them cook them themselves.
When I got back to my room, I called my mom. The matter of money can be regarded as a fall. took advantage of the fact that she didn't have a meal, and she was stunned for a while on her mobile phone, planning how to hand over the money to her tomorrow. After thinking about it again, the place where she lives should not be far from the company, otherwise why would she keep walking there.
"It's time to eat."
"Come, eat whatever you want, and drink later."
"What's the hurry, you can't drink me."
"Are you sure I can't drink you, who vomited first last time I drank."
"The small beer is too swollen, but the liquor is still delicious."
"The liquor is bad for drinking dead people, and the good for drinking dead money is still beer."
I listened to the two of them arguing for a long time about what they were drinking. After a few casual bites, I got up and washed my dishes.
"Why, are you in such a hurry to drink today? Just the amount of your two small bottles of wine, wait for it and vomit early. My classmate asked me with a smile.
"No, I'm going to drink three bottles today." I looked at him and said seriously.
"You dare to talk about three bottles."
"I'm going to break through and become as drinkable as you guys."
"Okay, okay, let's practice you, so that you don't have to go out drinking with the boss in the future and lose the boss's face."
That's right, maybe there will be a dinner party in the company in the future, and the boss will let me drink, so how can I get my hands on it in front of her with this small amount of alcohol, it will indeed be embarrassing. Drink! Drink boldly!
That day, I vomited again, I didn't drink three bottles, and the last glass, I really couldn't drink it, and I didn't want to drink it.
Watching them two drink, the three of them began to talk. There is no theme, no bragging, some are nostalgic for being a student, some are all kinds of worries after working now, and some are all kinds of fantasies about the future.
I didn't tell them because I was drinking, I had a crush on a girl, and I had a crush on each other for the past two days. I didn't know anything about her, I hadn't even talked formally for a single day, and I wasn't in a position to tell them anything about her, because there was nothing but my own inner turmoil.
I threw up at ten o'clock, and we drank until twelve, and I was getting more and more sober, and they were getting more and more confused. Looking at the two of them, I knew that at this moment, life had become different and beyond our control.
This seems to be a real and illusory society, and I have come to accept your destruction.
This seems to be a love that seems to be nothing, I have come to accept your destruction.
