There was a bazaar in the town, all kinds of vendors were hawking, all kinds of food were placed with an attractive fragrance, my stomach was screaming, I was hungry, I felt in my pockets, it was clean, I was penniless.

I ghostly walked from one end of the street to the other, and from that end to the other, back and forth, and it was getting late, and the market was gone.

Let's live, seeing that a restaurant has not closed, I mustered up the courage to walk in, a man and a woman in the restaurant are two middle-aged people beckoning three people to eat, the restaurant is not big, but it is clean and tidy: "Are you recruiting people here?" ”

The middle-aged man and woman looked me up and down: "No recruitment!" ”

"I work a lot, I can do any job, I don't want to be paid, just give me food"

"Do you know how to read?"

"I don't know"

"That's not good, you can't even read the menu, how can you do it?"

"It's okay to wash the dishes."

"The place is small, and there are few people to eat, so how can you recruit someone to wash dishes?"

I turned around and was about to walk out of the restaurant, looking at the food on the table of the three with uncompetitive eyes, and when I looked away, I met a pair of eyes in front of me, and a man about thirty years old looked at me gently, and in an instant I was clicked, and I fled from the restaurant in embarrassment, and my heart was pounding.

There are a few inns in the market with lights on at the door, and the rest is pitch black, although it is spring, but the night is still very cold, where to go?

A voice rang in my ears: Live.

I came to the door of the hostel, afraid that I would be denied entry again, so I wandered.

There was a sound of footsteps, I turned my head, and three people came towards me: "Where are you from, don't you have a home?" ”

It was the man I met at the restaurant just now who was talking.

I shook my head.

"Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

I shook my head again: "I don't have any money. ”

He and the other two muttered for a while: "It's too late, you can stay here tonight, and I'll pay for the money." ”

His voice spoke with the magnetism of a baritone, and I didn't know what to say, my heart was pounding.

"Is that okay?"

I nodded

The three of them took me into the hotel: "Boss: open a room for this girl, let her stay here tonight, you can solve the breakfast and lunch tomorrow, and we will pick her up tomorrow afternoon." ”

He took out the money and gave it to the proprietress who smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will take care of it." ”

He handed me the food he was carrying: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" We'll eat the leftovers, so if you don't dislike it, take it. ”

I took the meal: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." ”

I bowed deeply to them, tears streaming down my face.

"It's okay, we're doing it all together, let's go and rest."

They left, I followed the hostess to a room on the second floor, the room was neat and clean,

There were three beds, all empty, with crisp white sheets and soft lighting.

I devoured the meal, lay on the comfortable and warm bed, and recalled what I had just met, the man was 1.7 meters tall, with a small flat head, big bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and some dark skin, but he was still good-looking, thinking about me and falling asleep sweetly.

When I woke up, it was noon the next day, I opened the curtains and stretched my waist, which was the most soundly slept since my grandfather died.

The proprietress said: "I saw you sleeping soundly in the morning, I didn't call you, breakfast is cold now, let's make lunch for you directly." ”

"Thank you for the trouble."

"It's not troublesome."

After lunch, the hostess told me to go downstairs, and I came to the hall, only to see him standing in the hall with a man wearing the same clothes as him, which I had never seen before, but I thought they looked very good in it.

"Are you looking for a job?"

I nodded

"We are the staff of the substation below, there are five of us in total, no one is cooking at present, you help us cook, we will give you two hundred yuan a month, can you see it?"

I nodded, and for some reason, I nervously couldn't say a word when I saw him.

Following them out of the hotel, he got on his bicycle and asked me to sit in the back, I was afraid to ride the bicycle, and I was too short to reach it, and I didn't know what to do when I was standing.

"Don't be afraid, I'm good at cycling." As he spoke, he pushed the bike down a step and asked me to sit up the step.

I sat down.

"You're going to grab my clothes, or you're going to fall off the bike."

As the bicycle walked forward, the weeping willows that had just sprouted buds and the white apricot blossoms of the trees were running back quickly.

Entering a gate with a white tile wall, we got out of the car and entered the gate, the yard was very large, there was a piece of land in the yard, and fruit trees were planted in the field, the peach blossoms had just bloomed, the apricot blossoms were blooming, and the pear trees and apple trees were full of buds.

Coming to a row of red brick houses, he led me into a side hut.

"This is your room, except for cooking, you can rest in this room for the rest of the time, you can also walk in the yard and outside the door, but you can't go in the back yard, except for the kitchen and the things in your room, you can't move anything else here."

"Got it"

"What's your name and do you have an ID? If so, I'll want to register. ”

"Yes," I pulled out my ID and handed it to him.

"Zhao Lingling, nineteen ......" "You are only twenty years old this year?"

I remembered my mother-in-law's scolding: "The birthday is not good, and I lie about my age!" So he said, "Nineteen years old, one year older on the identity card." ”

"My surname is Zhang, and I am the director of this substation, I will let everyone call me Xiao Zhang, you are younger than me, just call me Director Zhang." With that, he turned and left.

I looked at the room, and although it was small enough to fit a bed, a table, and a face shelf, I loved it and I finally had a room of my own.

Before dinner, I went into the kitchen, and there was a dining room with a round table and a few chairs in the middle, and into the suite was the kitchen, with a large cauldron embedded in the tiled stove, and a board next to the cauldron, and a blower underneath. There is a glass cabinet opposite the stove with dishes and chopsticks, and next to the glass cabinet there is an iron shelf on which vegetables, flour, rice, and buckets of clear oil are placed.

I made them Zangzi noodles, and they ate happily, the five of them were Lao Li, Lao Xu, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yao and Director Zhang, among whom Director Zhang was the youngest. It was Xiao Zhao and Director Zhang who went to pick me up today.

Everyone joked: "It seems that our Director Zhang has a unique vision, and this girl's meal is delicious." ”

Director Zhang: "Are you satisfied?" ”

"Very satisfied!"

Lao Xu: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've lived to be in my forties, and it's the first time I've eaten such delicious noodles." ”

Director Zhang: "I think so, Lingling didn't bring any luggage when she came, let's give her a month's salary in advance, let her buy some daily necessities, I'll advance the money first, and then give me my salary after everyone pays it, do you think it's okay?" ”

"How can I make you advance money!" Saying that, each person paid 50 yuan, and Director Zhang gave me 200 yuan.

I had the courage to say, "It's good that you've taken me in, why don't I ask for your money if I don't work?" I can't ask for it. ”

"This is your salary, it was given to you in advance, hurry up and buy some daily necessities, or what do you use?"

In the end, I took fifty dollars.

On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, I went out, the spring breeze was slight, the willows were still around, the flowers were in full bloom, the swallow Nanni, I came to the town again with brisk steps, the same town, different people, today and the day before yesterday are completely different, the day before yesterday I was a wanderer, today I not only have a place to go, but also money, I can buy what I want, I am independent.
