CHAPTER IX

I haven't seen Ziming for a few days, and Xiaoya is very anxious. Especially during the three days when the people went out (Ziming told Xiaoya to go on a business trip), Xiaoya was thinking about the people all the time. Especially on the first night, she lived alone in their rental house, feeling deserted everywhere and couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Ziming was not there, she felt cold all over her body, no matter how she covered the quilt, it was not warm, she held a big pillow on her chest, she still felt cold, she curled up and opened her eyes on the bed until dawn. The next night, I didn't come to the rental house, I went home alone to accompany my mother, and I bought a down jacket for my mother.

Knowing that Ziming had returned, Xiaoya was very happy. I don't see it for a day, such as every three autumns, and I don't see it for three days, like every ten years. Before it was time to get off work, she couldn't wait to leave the Accord store and go to the government compound to wait for Ziming. Until half past six, Ziming didn't go downstairs, the government got off work at six o'clock, and many staff members walked out of the building, who knew each other, and greeted her, she replied casually, her eyes kept staring at the staircase of China Merchants. Half an hour passed, more than half of the vehicles in the compound drove away, the crowded courtyard became spacious, and several staff members walked out of the stairs of China Merchants Bureau, but Wang Ziming was nowhere to be seen. She took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Wang Ziming, telling her that she was waiting for him downstairs, but she didn't press the number, thinking: Maybe he still has something on his hands, come out later, wait a while. put the phone back in her pocket again, and suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of the staircase, she knew that it was Zhang Mo, Ziming told her that the last time she saw Ziming greeting him, she boldly ran over to ask Zhang Mo.

"Hello, Brother Zhang, are you working overtime in the bureau today?"

Zhang Mo glanced at her and knew that he was here to find Ziming, and he would not forget the beauty when he saw it.

"No! Already off work? You're here to find Ziming! Hasn't he come down yet? ”

"Yes, I've been waiting for a long time, and I haven't seen him come down, is he coming to work today?"

Two sycamore leaves fell from the tree, one just landed on her shoulder, and it didn't fall steadily. She grabbed the sycamore leaf from her shoulder and threw it on the ground.

"Come, I saw him just now! Did you quarrel? I don't think he's in good shape. ”

"No! What happened to him? ”

"It's good if you don't have it! I don't know. Why don't I help you go up and have a look? ”

"No need, I'll wait for him!"

Xiaoya thanked Zhang Mo, stood under the plane tree and waited, feeling uneasy and uneasy.

It wasn't until seven o'clock that I saw Ziming walking out of the staircase slowly, as if he had been hit by something, and he was sick.

"Ziming, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I've got a lot to discuss with you. Xiaoya ran over and grabbed Ziming, but Ziming didn't make a sound, just lowered his head.

"What's wrong with you? It's like a funeral, no wonder Zhang Mo said it's chattering. What's wrong? I've never been frightened since I was a kid! Xiaoya barely pretended to smile, feeling her face twitching.

"Let's go home and talk about it!" Ziming still buried his head and didn't look at Xiaoya.

Xiaoya held Ziming, her heart was cold, and she couldn't sink to the end, she always felt that this matter was not a simple matter. Along the way, although he was holding Ziming, he was actually dragging Ziming away, neither of them spoke, his face was like a frosted eggplant, Xiaoya even felt that Ziming was trembling. When he climbed to the second floor, Ziming said to Xiaoya:

"You go up first! I'm a little tired and want to lean here to rest. ”

"I'll accompany you! Let's go up together. ”

"If you are told to go up, you will go up, why are you so instigated!" Ziming was a little impatient, as if he was roaring, Xiaoya didn't dare to make a sound, and went forward to open the door.

Xiaoya opened the door and waited on the sofa for another ten minutes before she saw Wang Ziming coming in, still like that, just like coming out of the staircase of China Merchants Bureau, drooping his head.

Xiaoya patted the sofa and motioned for Ziming to sit beside her.

"Ziming, tell me, what happened? My heart was like a pinprick in my heart. ”

"I'm sorry, Xiaoya, it's all over, I'm done." Wang Ziming sat on the sofa with a slump in his buttocks, "I'm done, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Why are you sorry for me? Tell me what happened. What's all over? ”

"The house is gone!" Ziming cried.

"Why? I talked to the renovation company! ”

"The China Merchants Bureau of Dog Day, the county government of Dog Day, they are all liars, they are all liars, they snatched my money, they don't talk much."

"Who robbed you of your money? Haven't the bonus arrived yet? ”

"Fuck these bastards, they don't die well, I'm going to embarrass them, they're all liars."

"Ziming, tell me what's going on with the bonus, what's going on with the house?" Xiaoya's tears flowed out.

Seeing Xiaoya crying non-stop, Wang Ziming sat up straight leaning on the sofa.

"This gang of liars, they don't talk much, they don't give me money, they give me a certificate, they are simply not human. Xiaoya, I can't buy a house, and my deposit is gone! As he spoke, he leaned back on the couch and began to cry bitterly.

Xiaoya leaned on the sofa, silent, and kept sobbing, she didn't know how much effort she spent on this decoration, only she knew that she was still like her mother, her relatives, and her friends talking about the appearance of her new house, and she was still intoxicated in the imaginary new house all day long.

The two of them hadn't communicated for a long time, and the night had fallen.

After a while, Xiao Ya's thoughts recovered.

"Ziming, this bonus was originally a fortune from heaven, and it was destined that we should not have this money, we didn't have it at the beginning, and if we didn't have it, we wouldn't have it! Let's buy the house slowly - isn't it 30,000 yuan? I don't think we're going to be left to death by those three dollars. ”

Wang Ziming leaned back on the sofa and bowed his head silently.

Xiaoya turned crying into laughter.

"What a big deal I'm doing! That's it, it's all messing with us - go, Ziming, go out to eat, we're all hungry! It's good to save yourself an easy life, and I'm still running here and here all day for this! It's good now! Nothing to do, wait for a few years to make money, buy a bigger one, what do you say? Ziming, let's go, let's eat! ”

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she came over and pulled Ziming's hand, and Ziming reluctantly stood up.

"Smile, Ziming, smile and you'll be fine? Don't you think I'm fine right now? ”

Xiao Ya twisted the stiff sides of Zi Ming's side with her hand again, Zi Ming reluctantly laughed, and followed Xiao Ya out of the room.

Xiaoya led Ziming to a nearby bean rice hot pot restaurant downstairs, it was a little late, and there were no other guests in the store. The shopkeeper was a man, and he greeted them with a smile as he watched them arrive.

"What do you two eat, we have pork ribs hot pot, bean rice hot pot, sausage hot pot ...... here"

"Let's come to the bean rice hot pot! For two. Xiaoya replied.

"It's a little spicier or a little lighter."

"Spicy."

Usually eating hot pot, Xiaoya is a little lighter, but she knows that Ziming eats spicy, and this time, he follows Ziming's taste. Ziming just sat motionless at the table and was silent. Xiaoya understood, and he knew he was in a bad mood.

"Ziming, do you want to drink some wine."

"Yes! Boss, bring me a pound of liquor. ”

Ziming's refreshing answer startled her, she just asked casually.

"Forget it, I won't drink the liquor, or I'll bring you a bottle of white bar!"

"Whatever!"

A bottle of liquor, three glasses, Ziming drank it in three sips. didn't eat any food, didn't eat any dishes, he just waited for Xiaoya to finish.

After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant, and Xiaoya wanted to walk around the street with Ziming, wanting to distract Ziming.

"Xiaoya, go back! I want to be alone, you go home to accompany your aunt first! ”

Xiaoya originally planned to talk to Ziming about marriage with him, but when Ziming said this, she didn't know what to do.

"Are you sure you don't need me with you?"

"You go home first! I want to be quiet for a moment. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Ya was embarrassed, "Then don't think about it too much, this matter will be over after it." ”

"It's okay, you go back first!"

"Then I'll come back to you tomorrow."

Xiaoya stopped a taxi and walked in the direction of Lao Street, and arrived home in a short time.

The mother watched her depressed daughter come home, and asked, "Go out well, why did you come back like a purple eggplant?" ”

"Get busy! I don't have time to be poor with you, I'm sleepy, and I have to go upstairs to sleep. ”

My mother thought that it was a common thing to know that it was a young man arguing, and that it would be fine in a day or two. The daughter has not suffered any grievances since she was a child, and she hangs on her face when she is a little uncomfortable, she knows it, and she doesn't ask more, just watching her daughter go upstairs and go back to her room. After a while, she heard her daughter's cry from the room, and the mother hurried upstairs, the door was open, and the daughter lay on the bed with her face covered in the quilt and kept sobbing.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong with you? My daughter, who you off? Is it Wang Ziming, is that kid bullying you, I'll go to him and ask him clearly. ”

"Mom-" Seeing her mother coming, Xiaoya threw herself into her mother's arms, "He didn't bully me, butβ€”" and then cried loudly again.

"What's going on here? Didn't bully you, what are you crying about? As soon as I came back, I hummed and chirped, such a big girl, she was about to get married, what kind of system did she become, so that outsiders would not be ashamed to hear it! ”

"We don't have a house to get married, and Ziming's money is gone?"

Xiaoya told her mother that Ziming didn't get the bonus. The mother also hesitated on the side, after all, it is not a matter of saying that her daughter is married and does not have a house, she has no light on her face, how much will her daughter have to suffer for this house in the future, and her daughter is not not beautiful and can't do it, and several matchmakers don't have houses in the city.

Seeing her daughter's sad appearance, Xiaoya's mother unconsciously shed tears.

When she woke up, Xiaoya felt much better, although she was a little sad, but she was not gloomy, she was happy and happy during the time she was with Ziming, he knew that Ziming loved her deeply, and this felt that women would not be wrong. Buying a house is not a difficult thing for me Xie Xiaoya, but this incident has hit Ziming too hard, how much he hopes to have his own house! Marrying Ziming is her promise to herself, and when Ziming slows down, today, or tomorrow, she will have a good talk with Ziming and replan their lives. Last night, she had already called the decoration company, and the decoration company said that the deposit of 5,000 yuan would not be refunded. This girl can afford to lose.

Xiaoya got up and went downstairs, her mother had already made an early breakfast for her, and she knew that her mother must not have slept well last night.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about my business, I'll arrange it myself, your daughter has grown up!"

"But Xiaoya, mom can tell you, getting married is a big deal, you see which one of the surrounding marriages doesn't have a house, you have to think about it carefully, it's really not good-"

"Mom, don't say such things, I've said it, I'll arrange it myself, you can take care of this two-dollar store."

"It's really a woman who can't help it, she doesn't listen to the old man, and she suffers in front of her."

Xiaoya didn't listen to her mother's last words, and walked out of the house. The weather became gloomy and cold, and Xiaoya tightened the tweed clothes on her body. During this time, because of their own problems, a lot of information in the Accord store has not been completed, and it is time to purchase, and the bills of last month have not been transferred to the boss, and they feel embarrassed. Xiaoya plans to do a good day's work today, "hide in the small building and become a unity, and take care of his spring, summer, autumn and winter".

Although the weather is cold, the number of people who come to the stadium to exercise early has not decreased, there are still so many. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is mainly the elderly who exercise in the morning, and the young people are either busy with work or hiding at home to sleep. Xiaoya is the same, when she doesn't have to go to work, she will lie in her room and sleep until noon, until her mother calls, and then she gets up sleepily, as if this sleepiness can never be driven away. But then again, she is quite punctual at work, and she hates the kind of people who are not punctual, who do not follow the rules of the game.

"Sister Ya, how did you have fun with your brother-in-law yesterday! Look at the way you have been in your soul these days. Xiaoya didn't close the door, and Sia walked in with a hippie smile. She was looking out the window at the hill across the side - winter was coming, and the mountain was still green, and she felt strange.

"You're talking and pretending to be a ghost, do you have nothing to do?"

"Now-in-outside-side-no-no, I tell you, you must call me when you go to take wedding photos, I can do research to ensure that you don't regret it."

"And me, I'm going too, Sister Ya, you have to let us be bridesmaids, otherwise we'll have to resign and quit, you can think about it." Michelle suddenly burst in through the aisle.

"Let's get busy! It's still a long way off! ”

"Hey, hey! Just you? Be a bridesmaid, don't scare the groom from coming. Jinhua taunted Michelle at the front desk.

If it was before, without thinking too much, Xiaoya would definitely agree very readily, but yesterday Ziming came out with this file, and there are many things that need to be re-sorted out, and she doesn't know how to tell them.

The next afternoon, Xiaoya invited the people in the store to eat "Haidilao", during this time everyone has been working hard, even if she often has something to do during this time, the work in the store is still done in an orderly manner, she feels that she should treat everyone.

"Let's eat with an open stomach today! Don't worry about the cost, I pay for all the consumption, you just eat, eat enough, and eat whatever you want. ”

"Are you sure the store manager doesn't regret it?"

"What do you regret, I'm a store manager, during this time, thanks to everyone's dedication to our Accord, it should be."

"This is the most expensive hot pot restaurant in our county?"

"Then don't think we're hungry."

"I haven't been to Haidilao to eat?"

"Can I drink?"

……

"You can do anything but drink." Xiaoya finally said.

They booked a private room in Haidilao, and the boss came to tell them to relax a little, and a few people next to them asked to change their seats as soon as they sat down. Everyone immediately calmed down, but then everyone ordered a dish they liked, and there was a fuss, and the waiter came over to remind everyone that everyone seemed to have endless words, and this one was not halfway said, and was directly interrupted by another person, everyone felt that their words should be said first, and the story was the most beautiful. Didn't drink, drank drinks, but was crazier than drinking. Just as everyone was having a good time, Xiaoya's mobile phone rang, and her name was not displayed.

"Where did you get the harassing or scam phone call?" Xiaoya receives such calls every day, often seven or eight a day, loans, house sales, and lottery winners, especially after she left a phone call to the decoration company, the harassment doubled. She once asked the renovation company what was going on, if they had sold their number.

"No! We are very protective of our customers' information, and we are often harassed, and the best way to do this is to 'get rid of it' in time. Said the person in charge of receiving her.

Xiaoya hung up the phone, only a few minutes later, she called again, she hung up again, but only a few minutes later, the phone rang again.

"It's so annoying, I don't eat clean!"

"Let's go answer the phone! Don't let people wait, don't worry, we'll eat with an open stomach when you're not there. ”

"Order more food and gag your mouth!"

Everyone at the table laughed again!

Xiao Ya looked at the phone number carefully, the general harassing calls are foreign numbers, or some strange numbers, this is a local number, a little thought, Xiao Ya connected the phone.

"Hello! Is it Xia Xiaoya? It was a man's voice, Xiaoya was surprised that the other party could accurately say her first and last name.

"Who are you? How do I know my number? ”

"You don't care who I am, but do you have a boyfriend named Wang Ziming."

"Who are you? If you don't say I'll hang up? I don't know who Wang Ziming is. ”

"Then I'll just say it! Your boyfriend Wang Ziming borrowed 80,000 yuan from me, with an interest of 10,000 yuan, I think it is necessary to tell you! ”

"Who are you? How could he lend you money? ”

"I'm Daxing, go ask him yourself!" After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Speak! Who are you? ”

Xiaoya hurriedly settled the account, returned to everyone, and asked everyone: "When I wasn't in the store, did anyone come to the store to ask for my phone number?" ”

"No! What's the matter? ”

"Nothing! Just ask - everyone eat slowly, I've settled the account, I have something to go out, don't wait for me. Xiaoya tried her best to hide her doubts, said goodbye to everyone, and walked out.

"I still have a good dish that I haven't ordered!" Sia said.

"Then you can go now!" Li Xiang quipped.

"I'll order you to pay, is that okay?" Sia said.

"Why? It's not my food. ”

"Slam the door."

"Miserly."

"No wonder no woman likes it."

……

Everyone seized the opportunity and made fun of Li Xiang, as if they wanted to tell all the shortcomings they knew about him.

"You go and order, I'll pay, as if I can't afford it."

"Then I'll order, don't regret it."

"If you don't regret it, you must not regret it."

"Waiter, give table 9 to the waist." Everyone stared at West Asia.

"No, it won't! Do you still eat pork kidney? ”

"It all depends on what I do, what kind of men and women are in it? If others can eat it, why can't I eat it? However, today I really didn't order for me, I ordered for our two baby boys. ”

Everyone laughed again, "Yes, it's time to make up, and there is no temperament at all." ”

"It's rare that everyone is happy today, or after eating it in a while, go to karaoke, and have fun playing it!"

"Okay, let's get drunk."

"Singing a fish to death, I haven't been to KTV for a long time, and the song is about to forget me."

"But it's not good for anyone to pay for this money, everyone AA system, how about it?" Sia said that Xiaoya's absence was like the boss of the group.

"Good!" Everyone raised their hands in approval.

Xiaoya pushed open the door of the rental room hard, Wang Ziming was lying on the sofa, the sound of the door knocking made him sit up all of a sudden, and when he saw that it was Xiaoya, he lay back again. The living room was in a mess, and a sofa pillow was still by the door, which was given by Xiao Ya to buy a sofa cover, dark gray. Xiaoya kicked the sofa pillow away, and the sofa pillow immediately flew out of her legs, hit the TV opposite, and fell in the center of the living room.

"Wang Ziming, tell me honestly, what were you going to do in the three days you were not in the unit?"

"Didn't I tell you? I went on a business trip. ”

"You're lying, you're not going on a business trip at all."

"And what do you say I'm going to do?"

"What are you going to do, you know in your heart, someone called me and said you owe him 80,000 yuan, tell me what's going on?"

"What? Who called you? Is it male or female? ”

"The man, he said that he was from Daxing, and he hung up when he asked who he was."

"Damn, Zhao Gui, this bastard, the time hasn't come yet?" Ziming suddenly became furious, picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Zhao Gui, but he didn't dial it out - yes! What did he say? A man who is in debt everywhere.

"Does that mean true? Ziming, tell me, tell me what's going on? What the hell are you doing all day? ”

So, Ziming told Xiaoya how he bought a house with Qinghe Company, how to extend the payment period, and how to find Huazi to take him to gamble, and later, the bonus was not paid, how to borrow money from the bank, and how to borrow money from Zhao Gui after losing. After finishing speaking, he kept his head buried and didn't look at his fiancΓ©e.

"Wang Ziming, you are really not a person, in vain I Xie Xiaoya loves you so much, but you are gambling everywhere outside."

"Xiaoya, I'm a gambler now, in debt, a bastard who is nothing, I don't deserve to be your boyfriend, let alone a husband, you shouldn't suffer with me, you go!"

"You're unworthy!"

Xiao Ya walked out of the door and pulled the door hard, the dust on the door was shaken off, and a pile of fine ash fell from the door frames on both sides. She ran downstairs as fast as she could, her tears pouring down like a waterfall. Originally, he waited for Ziming to recuperate for two days, and then talked carefully with Ziming, without a house, she didn't care at all, even if her mother hoped that she could get married and have a house, but she believed that she could convince her mother. As for the prize, it was originally a fortuitous fortune, and if it was gone, it was gone, and the winning ticket was lost. However, she can't accept it no matter what.

Xiaoya's brain is groggy, and she just runs on the street, with no scruples at all.
