Chapter 165: Old Stories in City A (2)
The young man was not interested in the activities mentioned by the host, and took Zhao Yufeng's hand and said, "Go and take a break." ”
Zhao Yufeng was even more reluctant to stay in this kind of place, so he walked out of the dance hall with the young man.
Right now, early summer, it's a good time for City A. There are a lot of people who come out to shop, mostly young men and women dressed stylishly. Zhao Yufeng wanted to go back to the hotel, but he was a little reluctant, he had been in City A for more than a month, and it was the first time to visit the night scene. The night view of City A is very beautiful, with bright lights, busy traffic, large and small shops, a dazzling array of goods, as well as drooling food stalls and crowded food stalls, which have a strong attraction to her. And what attracted her even more was the young man around her. She vaguely felt that the young man seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets, and the young man's eyes were also very special, sometimes frank and open, sometimes misty. When he danced just now, he was very open and passionate, but now he was back to his old appearance, his face was haggard, his expression was tired, and his words became less and less.
Zhao Yufeng didn't know what to call this young man, it stands to reason that she should call him "sir", but he hasn't graduated yet, he is still a student, and it is a bit inappropriate to call him "sir"; According to his age, he should be called "big brother", and I feel that the title of "big brother" is too intimate, which seems to be close to others, and it is not appropriate. Just when she didn't know how to speak, the young man asked her, "Where do you live?" ”
"Liuhe Hotel." Zhao Yufeng blurted out.
"Liuhe Hotel?" The young man's eyes lit up suddenly, and his words became excited: "I know that place!" ”
"Have you lived?"
"Stayed! But it's not alone......" The young man suddenly stopped, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Zhao Yufeng couldn't guess what the young man was thinking, and he couldn't guess why he was interested in such a cheap little hotel.
"It's not too far from here, I'll send you there." As he spoke, the young man quickened his pace.
Zhao Yufeng took a few steps and followed. Before she had gone far, the young man took her hand again and said, "After dancing for so long, you must be hungry, go and make up for it." Before Zhao Yufeng could react, he was pulled into a café by the young man.
The waitress greeted them warmly and guided them to a more secluded seat.
"Two cups of coffee, one piece of cake." The young man commanded.
"Okay, please wait."
Zhao Yufeng didn't have a chance to speak, and he didn't want to speak. She thought the coffee shop was very magnificent, and if it was herself, she wouldn't dare to come in.
Soon, coffee and cake were served, and the young man tore open a sugar packet and poured it into her coffee cup; He pushed the cake pan in front of her, "Eat some first, don't ask for it enough." ”
"Actually, I'm not hungry." Zhao Yufeng said that he was not hungry, and his stomach had already screamed.
"You're welcome," the young man whispered, pushing the cake pan towards her again, "may I ask a question?" ”
"Yes, I'm willing to answer all your questions." Zhao Yufeng grabbed the knife and fork and took a big bite of the cake.
"Looking for a suitable job in City A?"
"Yes, but I didn't study much, and I came out before I finished high school, and I thought it was easy to find a job in City A, but ......"
"You don't want to be a backing girl in a ballroom?"
"I never thought that that place was not for me."
"I have a friend whose parents are both state cadres, but they are older and need domestic service, if you want, I can introduce ......"
"I do!"
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Yufeng finally found the agency compound according to the address written to her by the young man. She took out a small mirror and looked at it, straightened her unkempt hair, took a deep breath, and strode on.
"Looking for whom?" The doorman stopped Zhao Yufeng.
"Li Qingmei."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, I called."
The doorman looked at Zhao Yufeng up and down, and Zhao Yufeng's heart was furious.
"Come in and register."
Zhao Yufeng walked into the mailroom, and according to the marks on the register, the workers neatly wrote their names and Li Qingmei's names, as well as a lot of words such as the time of visit and the work unit.
"Go in from here, go up to the second floor, turn left, room 207."
"Thank you!"
Zhao Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, followed the doorman's instructions, turned left and right, and finally found the room and knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in."
Zhao Yufeng patted his chest and pushed open the door.
"Aunt Li, I'm Zhao Yufeng......"
Li Qingmei is over 50 years old and is the deputy director of a research institute in City A. A few days ago, Liang's sister-in-law, a nanny who had worked in her house for more than ten years, returned to her hometown Henan due to illness, and Li Qingmei wanted to find another nanny, but she felt unsatisfactory after seeing a few, so she put it down. This morning, my daughter called and said that there was a little nanny who was from the province and had a good appearance. Li Qingmei is cautious and has strict requirements for nannies, and she can't let people who don't look at her come to the door casually, just now her daughter called again, saying that the little nanny had gone to the research institute and asked her to see if it was suitable.
At this time, Li Qingmei looked at Zhao Yufeng carefully, seeing that her eyebrows were delicate, her voice was crisp, and her manners were decent, and she liked it very much.
"You're from County K?"
"Yes."
"Willing to do housekeeping?"
"Yes."
"How many years have you been reading?"
"I went to high school for a year."
"Vomit? Are you in high school? Why not read on? ”
"It's too difficult at home......"
"Ahem," Li Qingmei felt sorry for Zhao Yufeng. She knew that K was one of the most difficult counties in the province, and there were many children like Zhao Yufeng who could not afford to read.
"Xiao Zhao, if you know well, just stay. I have a lot of books at home, as well as high school and university textbooks, so I can read more in my spare time. Now we are a knowledge-based society, and no matter what work you do, you must have knowledge and culture. ”
Zhao Yufeng's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply to Li Qingmei, "Thank you, Auntie!" ”
After getting off work, Zhao Yufeng went home with Li Qingmei, and her eyes were straight when she walked into the compound! She knew that Aunt Li was a national cadre, but she didn't expect to live in such a good place, it was simply a big garden: green grass, gurgling water, pavilions, winding paths. There are also buildings of different shapes, shining in the setting sun, which makes her tongue straight. She followed closely behind Li Qingmei, for fear of taking a wrong step. They walked into a small neighboring building, into the foyer, and into the elevator. The small building is not high, but there is an elevator to go directly to each household; Out of the elevator, Li Qingmei took out the key, opened the door, took off her shoes, changed her shoes, and then walked into the living room.
"Sit down, drink saliva first."
"Not thirsty." Zhao Yufeng's eyes are not enough, how can he care about drinking water? The living room is spacious, with a thick embroidered carpet, a blue glass coffee table, an orange leather sofa, chandeliers, wall lamps, floor lamps, televisions, air conditioners, everything you need. What Zhao Yufeng didn't expect was that there were stairs in the room, leading upstairs.
"Xiao Zhao, housekeeping service seems simple, but it is not easy to do it well. Fortunately, you are young and flexible, as long as you are willing to learn, as long as you are not afraid to contribute, you will soon be able to do your job. You're tired today, so let's go around the rooms and get acquainted with them. Your uncle is in a meeting in the field, your sister is staying at the school, and you and I are the only ones at home; There was bread and ham in the fridge, as well as fruit, just eat it and stop cooking. I'm going to revise a few materials later, you can watch TV and read books, and go to sleep when you're sleepy. From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you the same and you will learn the same until you have learned everything. ”
"Aunt Li, I will study hard, not afraid of hardship or tiredness. I'm from the mountains, and I've been helping my mother with work since I was a child, cooking and cleaning, but I'm very rusty with life in the city. But don't worry, I'll work hard and get used to it as soon as possible, and I won't let you down. ”
