17. Get ready for work

Xiaofeng got dressed and came over to hug me for a while, and then said, "Let's go." ”

After going downstairs, Xiaofeng took me out of the staff passage at the back door, and I said to her: "It's too late, you go upstairs quickly, I'll just walk by myself, I don't have a few steps." ”

Xiaofeng: "You drank a lot of wine, and your foot is still injured, what if you fall?" ”

I said, "I'm fine, you send me back, I have to send you back, we don't have to do anything else, just send it overnight." ”

She didn't move, and said with concern: "Are you really okay?" ”

"It's really okay, I'll leave when I watch you go upstairs."

Xiaofeng: "If you want to go, I'll watch you go, I'll see if you're really okay." ”

I had no choice but to take a few steps forward, then waved her hand and told her to go back.

Xiaofeng didn't move, standing under the dim door lamp, just looking at me like this until I was about to turn into the alley, and I vaguely saw her figure,

When I went upstairs, the light was still on in Lina's room, I thought they had the habit of sleeping with the light on, and I didn't care, just about to push the door into the house, Lina's room door suddenly opened, my cousin and Lina stood at the door neatly dressed, I had a ghost in my heart, and said timidly: "You two haven't slept yet?" ”

My cousin walked out of the room and asked me angrily, "Where did you go?" ”

Lina pouted and glared at me.

I knew I was wrong, and whispered, "I slept too much during the day, got up and walked." ”

Cousin: "Walked all night? Where have you been, The Bund? ”

I said, "No, just stay on the street for a while, and I'm not coming back." ”

My cousin approached me, sniffed me vigorously, and said, "You smell of wine, no, and perfume, you tell you the truth, what are you doing?" ”

I knew I couldn't make up a lie, so I had to say, "Do you remember the guy who cleaned up in the alley yesterday?" It's the one who paid for your phone, and went to him for a drink. ”

My cousin raised her hand and wanted to slap me, and she said angrily, "Do you know who he is? Ruffian hooligans! How can you drink with him? ”

"I didn't want to drink with him, I met his subordinates at the entrance of the alley, I had to pull me over, I can't fight with others for no reason, after I went, the one called Sanzi let me drink, who knew that I didn't drink enough, I got drunk after a drink, no, just sober up, I'll come back."

I said a lot of half-truths.

Cousin: "You're hopeless, no, you can't drink perfume when you drink, right, woman perfume, say, what else are you doing?" ”

Me: "How do I know I'm going to smell perfume, I don't know what I'm drinking, what can I do?" ”

My cousin said angrily: "Xiao Xu, if you do this again, I will send you back when I buy a ticket, you are too worry-free!" ”

Me: "Cousin, Lina, you two go to bed quickly, I know it's wrong, I promise it won't happen again, I'll wait for the notice tomorrow, I'll go to sleep." ”

My cousin glared at me fiercely, then went back to the house and took out a bag of things and a box and handed it to me and said, "Go out tomorrow to change into this clothes, and a mobile phone, the card is installed, remember, the mobile phone was bought for you by Lina, and you have to return it to her when you earn money." ”

After saying that, he put it in my hand, pulled Lina back to the house, and closed the door with a clang.

I stood at the door and was stunned for a while, and just as I was about to open the door, Lina leaned out of the crack in the door of her room and whispered to me, "Xiao Xu, I gave you the phone, I don't want you to return it." ”

I could only hear my cousin shouting loudly in the room: "Lina! Get the hell out of here! ”

Lina stuck out her tongue, grimaced at me, quickly pulled back, and closed the door.

My tears finally flowed out of my eyes, and I held back my strength and hurried back to my room.

There was also a new pair of leather shoes in the room, which had been unpacked and placed next to the bed.

I was ashamed to put my clothes and mobile phone on the box, lying on the bed with my head back, the past flashed in my mind like a movie, the naughty me as a teenager, the sweet love in college, the helplessness of being poor at home after graduation, and the thrill of being forced into the sword and fire array.

I also thought of my uncle and aunt who saved me from danger in my life, the innocent and kind Lian Xin, and even the somewhat arrogant and intellectual beauty President Wen Hong.

I thought so wildly, I didn't feel sleepy anymore, and kept my eyes open until dawn.

Later, I got up and removed the bandages on my feet, and when I saw that there was no serious problem, I took a bath towel and took a shower, and went back to the room to take out the clothes that my cousin had bought, which were two shirts and a suit.

I put on my old clothes and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, and Lina's room was quiet while they were asleep.

I ate something and went back to the room and took out my mobile phone from the box, it was a very popular motorcycle men's semi-flip machine, quite expensive, with a label on the back, it was a string of mobile phone numbers, starting with 139, and the last few were actually my birthday. 81618, I was born on June 18, 81, and the numbers on my ID card are exactly the same except for 6 with multiple 0s in front of them.

This touched me again, such a number had to be picked by the two of them for more than half a day to find.

I have nothing to do and have been stunned by the phone, this is my first mobile phone, I feel curious everywhere, just looking at the blue-gray shell, let me stare at it for a long time.

I pressed the function keys repeatedly, familiarized myself with each of its functions, and also found the business card that Wen Hong gave me, and saved the number on it.

Lian Xin also has a mobile phone, she gave me a number yesterday, I remember putting it in the back butt pocket, I quickly touched my trouser pocket and found the folded little piece of paper. I looked at the line of numbers she gave me, typed them in one by one, and pressed the dial-out button, it was really much more convenient to have a mobile phone, and I could talk to anything in an instant.

The phone beeped a few times, and Lian Xin's sweet voice came from there: "I'm Lian Xin, may I ask who you are?" ”

I hurriedly said: "Lian Xin, I'm Chen Xiaoxu, this is my number, you can remember it." Oh, by the way, have you been notified? ”

Lian Xin: "Received, go to report at two o'clock in the afternoon, you haven't received it yet?" ”

"The number of my cousin I left, she is still sleeping, I guess she hasn't called yet, wait, don't worry."

We talked for a while, until my phone kept ringing, and it turned out that it was about to run out of battery and was about to shut down.

I just hung up Lian Xin's phone and plugged in the charger, when my cousin outside called me: "Xiaoxu, are you awake?" ”

I answered, and she continued, "Report to the company at two o'clock in the afternoon, remember to wear formal clothes." ”

After she finished speaking, she yawned and went into the house, and she didn't go to bed until almost dawn, and it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and she had just slept for three or four hours, so it was strange that she was not sleepy.

I'm really going to work, I'm both full of anticipation and uneasy, to be honest, I was the same as everyone else, but I just wanted a job that suited me and did what I could.

At noon, when my cousin was cooking in the kitchen, Lina forced me to put on my shirt and suit, and helped me put on my tie.

She stood on the opposite side and looked left and right, and then let me go until she couldn't see anything wrong.

I looked at myself in the half-cut mirror in my cousin's room, and I couldn't believe that the suit, shirt and tie had made me a different person.

From a social idler, he became a handsome white-collar worker in seconds.

I was a little embarrassed and said, "Isn't it too formal to dress like this?" If everyone else is dressed casually, just me is a formal attire, am I not a big idiot? ”

Lina: "What I said on the phone just now is very clear, you have to wear formal clothes, do you know what formal clothes are?" Is casual wear formal? ”

I scratched my head and said embarrassedly, "Isn't it unaccustomed to me, suddenly wearing it like this, I don't know which leg to take." ”

Lina: "Then jump on both legs." ”

I was amused by her, and I looked at myself in the mirror again, not to mention, wearing this dress, I felt that my spirit had improved a lot.

Lina leaned up to me and whispered, "You tell me the truth, did you drink too much yesterday with other girls?" ”

My heart is empty, which pot she doesn't open and mention, I'm afraid that she will ask this question, and I'm afraid that the nonsense will not be rounded and the stuffing will be leaked.

"Which is what? I drank too much and slept in the bar booth for a while. Who do you think I am Chen Xiaoxu, my pockets are cleaner than my face, who will stick to me upside down? ”

Lina: "Yes, but I don't dare to say it, some stinky and shameless women nowadays are willing to see a little fresh meat like you upside down, maybe take advantage of people's danger?" ”

I hurriedly stopped her and said, "Go and go, I don't know if there's anything to do, don't think about it, I really didn't do anything, I just drank too much." ”

Lina suddenly glared at me and gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Xiaoxu, if I knew that you had wild women outside, see if I didn't cut off your tools and throw them into the stinky ditch!" ”

Her words made the hairs on my body stand on end, and a cool breeze blew on my back.

Lina, Lina, who are you, can't I sell myself to you?

I hurriedly said, "Sister Lina, I won't, don't scare me, scare me out of trouble." ”

Lina: "I'm not scaring you, I mean really! ”

Me: "Okay, okay, what you said is true, don't worry, I, Chen Xiaoxu, won't give you a chance to start." ”

Lina: "What? If you don't give me a chance, who will you give your phone to? ”

I knew that she had misunderstood, so I hurriedly said, "Sister Lina, it's not a chance to start, it's a chance to cut off the tools of the crime, where do you want to go." ”

Lina: "It's pretty much the same, Xiao Xu, don't talk about a sister in the future, as if I'm old, call me Lina, it's okay to call Nana, do you hear?" ”

I nodded hurriedly, this aunt, it's better to stay away from her in the future.

At this time, my cousin was outside and called us out to eat.

My cousin didn't know when she bought an old hen, stewed a big pot and put it in the center of the small round table, she said that I was injured and wanted to make up for me.

She also fried a few vegetables, and Lina sat next to me and kept putting vegetables in my bowl, and gave me both chicken legs.

Cousin: "He doesn't have long hands, you eat your own!" ”

In the eyes of my cousin, Lina is also her own sister, and she speaks in the same tone as she did to us in her hometown, with compassion and strength.
