Chapter 9
Liang Yi was holding two huge grapefruits and was going to see Su Mei. When she walked to the opposite road, she saw someone looking outside Su Mei's sealed door. She stopped and asked curiously: "Who are you, where are you?" What are you doing?"
The man turned around when he heard her voice, and Liang Yi recognized that this person was Zhou Xiaochen who was often called a big-breasted woman by Su Mei.Zhou Xiaochen said sadly: "I'm Su Mei's classmate, I just want to see how she is doing now?"
Speaking of Su Mei, Liang Yi never thought that Su Mei would fall from the clouds to the dust in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xiaochen lowered his head, because of Su Mei's relationship Liang Yi didn't have a good impression of her before, but today Zhou Xiaochen acted very sad and didn't take pleasure in others' misfortunes at all, so she didn't find her annoying anymore.So she said, "I'm going to see Su Mei, do you want to go together?"
Zhou Xiaochen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands: "It's gone, Su Mei doesn't necessarily want to see me."
That's true, Liang Yi was also afraid that Zhou Xiaochen's appearance would irritate Su Mei, so he didn't force her, hugged grapefruit and said "goodbye" to her before leaving.
After parting with Liang Yi, Zhou Xiaochen went back to the small, dark room that he rented. The room was cold, because there was no sunlight, and there was a damp and musty smell.
She turned on the light, and there was a hint of warmth in the dimly lit room.She put the fish she bought from the vegetable market on the table, and said to herself: "I went to see Su Yuan'an's house today, and it feels a bit deserted after only a few days in such a lively place."
The room was still quiet, and she continued: "Su Yuan'an's sentence has come down, 20 years, do you think it's too short?" She poured a glass of water, walked to a corner of the bedroom, "have a drink water?"
The woman in the corner of the room was still sitting there motionless, only swallowing water mechanically with her mouth.
"Aren't you happy that you finally saw this day with your own eyes?" Zhou Xiaochen spread out the newspaper he brought back, and the economic page was surprisingly a photo of Su Yuanan when he was sentenced.Pointing to the picture, she asked, "Do you still remember this person? You see, he will be serving his sentence starting tomorrow, his family property has also been seized, and his daughter who is so precious can only be sent to others now. But It doesn't matter, I have been dependent on others since I was two years old, and she is too many years behind me."
The woman moved slightly. Zhou Xiaochen was very satisfied with the woman's reaction, and said with a smile, "How about we steam the fish tonight? I bought some wine. Let's celebrate."
The woman drinking water moved slightly again, Zhou Xiaochen put down the glass, and walked into the kitchen with a happy expression.She cleaned the fish and steamed it over the fire.In the dark night, the water vapor covered her eyes, and no one could see the cold light reflected in those beautiful eyes. She was completely different from her usual gentleness and calmness.
Liang Yi carried the pomelo and came to Su Meixin's rented place. The environment of the community is good. It is an apartment near the sea. The room facilities are high-end and neat and clean. Is it only 500 yuan? Can you rent such a beautiful apartment for 500 yuan?"
"I met a good landlord." Su Mei said with a smile.
"There are still good people these days. I guess they either got kicked in the head by a donkey, or they are greedy for beauty."
Su Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just that you like to think wildly, the landlord is a woman, and she won't come back after a short stay abroad, so she said she was looking for someone to look after the house for her."
Hearing what she said, Liang Yi gave up and threw two grapefruits on the sofa. She slumped on the sofa and relaxed her tone: "Why can't I encounter such a good thing."
Su Mei knew that Liang Yi did it on purpose, she must have thought that she was still sad about what happened at home, so she tried her best to make her happy and distract her.She knew it in her heart, but she didn't point it out. She picked up the grapefruit Liang Yi had given her and prepared to peel it and eat it. She said casually, "Bring me the fruit knife."
"Where are you?"
"On the coffee table in front of you."
When Liang Yi picked up the fruit knife, she saw the newspaper on the coffee table, and the recruitment column on it was marked with a red pen. She picked it up curiously: "Hey, are you looking for a job?"
Su Mei took her fruit knife and said casually: "Although the rent is small, it still has to be paid every month, and my mother's medical expenses are also paid every month. The money in my hand can't last long, so I must find a job as soon as possible.
Liang Yi watched Su Mei clumsily peeling the grapefruit, feeling sad for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything.She snatched the pomelo from Su Mei's hand, and said mockingly: "Let me do it, peeling grapefruit is a technical job, not everyone can do it well."
Su Mei didn't say anything, but felt warm in her heart.Although Liang Yi doesn't know how to comfort others, she can always use actions to make her feel at ease.She sat quietly on the sofa, watching the pomelo peel turn into a flower under Liang Yi's fingers, and the fragrance of pomelo wafted in the small room by the sea.
At first, Su Mei started to look for a job full of confidence, but after a few days she was hit hard.The advertisements in the recruitment newspapers have been messed up by Su Mei, and there is still no clue about the new job. Those high-ranking personnel managers gave her polite and alienated answers. They just asked her to wait for the notice. No food.
She sat helplessly on the steps with a newspaper, the salty sea breeze slapped her face, and the back and forth wind made her face wet, dry, and astringent.
"Hey." Someone threw a stone at her.
It was Song Wenqi, who was too idle to go crazy, Su Mei shouted distraughtly: "Why are you everywhere, how do you know I live here?"
"It was Liang Yi who told me that you lived here, and I have been waiting for you all day." Song Wenqi sat next to her as if he knew her very well, and saw that she was holding the "City Express" newspaper in her hand, "Are you here?" When looking for a job, why don’t you tell me, as long as my dad says something, your job can be done.”
She rebuffed confidently: "You are not who I am, what do I beg you to do?"
He was not angry: "Don't talk big, it's still a long time, maybe someday you will beg me."
"Do you think I can't find a job with my own abilities?" Su Mei tilted her head and asked him back.
Song Wenqi suddenly stopped talking, because the dim street lamp cast a lemon-colored halo on her face, she tilted her head, and the childlike expression of wanting to be recognized was a kind of strange beauty that cannot be described .He suddenly stood there in a daze, and after a while he asked in a shameful manner: "You really don't need me to help you?"
"unnecessary."
"Well, count me as being affectionate."
"It's your strong point to be passionate." She laughed.
Song Wenqi covered his chest and pretended to be hurt and sang: "You hurt me, and you just laughed it off."
Su Mei smiled at him: "Don't poison my ears if you don't have all the five notes."
Seeing her smile, Song Wenqi worked harder, and his out-of-tune singing made Su Mei burst into laughter.But how could Su Mei know that he had never acted as a clown before.But at this time, he opened his mouth wide and deliberately twisted his body, all just to let the dark clouds in her eyes disperse, even if the dark clouds only disperse for a second, he would feel relieved.
When Song Wenqi came home, the food was already on the table, and it was rare for his mother not to play cards, waiting for him to eat together.Song Wenqi scooped up a bowl of soup with a playful smile on his face: "Mom, have those players of yours abandoned you?"
Song's mother has long been accustomed to her son's unhealthy behavior: "Your grandma will come over next week. You know that the old man is not in good health, so I want to arrange for them to live in your apartment by the sea. The air is fresh and you can go to the beach. walk."
Song Wenqi fiddled with a fish over and over with his chopsticks, and said in a very casual tone, "I have already rented out that house."
"You rented out the house!" Song's mother yelled sharply, "You don't need money, why do you want to rent out the house?"
"If you want to rent it, you can rent it." Song Wenqi didn't care.
"If you want to rent, you can rent it. If you don't want to study abroad, you don't want to study abroad. You say that you don't need a little brain to do things."
Where do you have brains when you are a teenager?If you had brains, you wouldn't have to fall in love with someone so hard. Song Wenqi put down his chopsticks: "Anyway, the contract has already been signed. After five years of signing, if you want to regret the contract, you can only go to court."
"you……"
"Our family is so big that we can't accommodate grandpa and grandma." Song Wenqi said seriously, "If you really want grandma and the others to live in a sea view room, then I have to prepare for a lawsuit."
Song's mother held her head angrily: "Forget it, the contract has already been signed, and I still have to go to court over this shit, I'll be free."
"Mom, don't be angry. Look at the table full of seafood. If you don't eat it, it will be cold." Song Wenqi put a piece of fish in his mother's bowl in a fawning manner.
Mother Song couldn't resist him, so she had to sit down and eat: "Sooner or later, I will be pissed to death by your child."
Mother was half dead with anger, but Song Wenqi looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Su Mei looked at the newspaper dejectedly. Although she said that she could find a job, the remaining jobs in the recruitment column were public relations managers, waiters, and waiters with low wages.
She never thought about it before, some people's salary is only the price of her dress.Frustrated, she circled some advertisements for waiters with a pen again, and she was going to serve the dishes and wash the dishes.
Sure enough, it was much easier to find a job after lowering the standard. Two days later, she found a Cantonese restaurant, and the job was a little better than she thought. She didn't have to wash the dishes and serve the dishes, but just stood at the door to welcome guests.This job does not require professional skills and education, as long as you smile professionally every day and show your eight teeth neatly.
It was only the first day at work that she had an affair with the manager.Although she was tired at work on the first day, Su Mei survived.She was changing clothes in the locker room when she got off work, and accidentally bumped into someone when she went out. She stepped back and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Are you new here?" The other party didn't scold her, but asked with a smile.
Only then did Su Mei dare to raise her head, and the person she bumped into was a greasy middle-aged man, with a wrinkled face full of smiles: "I am your manager, come to my office."
Su Mei's visit to this Cantonese restaurant was recruited by the head waiter in charge of the waiters, so she didn't know the manager.Seeing the manager with a smile on his face, she also liked him very much, so she followed him in without doubting him.
There were only her and the manager in the huge office. At that time, he had a fake smile on his face: "How is it? Are you tired on the first day at work?"
Su Mei smiled and said, "It's okay."
The manager knocked on the table with his hands, and looked at Su Mei straightly: "Actually, why does such a beautiful girl like you have to suffer so much?"
Su Mei suddenly panicked, she had never been in the workplace before, and she thought that the manager came to her just to talk about things to pay attention to at work, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.She didn't know what to do, so she just stood there reluctantly, lowered her head and said softly, "It's okay."
The manager smiled and stood up: "As long as you nod, I can let you get more money than here without going to work."
She knew that she was beautiful, but the manager's behavior had been an insult to her for a long time. She said, "Manager, I'm going to get off work first."
The fat man suddenly stopped talking, just smiled and grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.She staggered, and she rushed forward, a strong smell of perfume made her nauseated, she shouted loudly: "Manager, if you do this again, I will call someone."
The manager was not afraid of her threat, and the strength in his hands became heavier. Su Mei's nose was sour, and the grievances poured out like a spring, but there was nothing he could do. She almost instinctively pushed her knees towards the opponent.
The manager finally let go of his hand with a muffled grunt, and Su Mei retreated towards the door, screaming as she retreated: "Is there anyone outside?"
The manager snorted coldly through his nose: "I don't know how to flatter you."
Su Mei ran away as if fleeing, and she didn't know how she got home.When she got home, she found that one of her shoes was missing. Ye Meixiang smiled at her dumbfoundedly at her embarrassment. The floor was dirty, with bread crumbs and milk stains everywhere. Plum stained floor.
Ye Meixiang was sitting on the side in a daze. Her condition has not improved at all, and the medicine must not be stopped.Although she was wronged, but because it was difficult to find a job, when the alarm clock rang early the next morning, Su Mei went back to the hotel neatly dressed.The foreman was a little surprised when he saw her, but he didn't say much. He asked her to change into another set of clothes, and then took her to the kitchen: "The manager said he would transfer you to wash the dishes."
Su Mei looked at the pile of dishes like a hill, she was not angry, she smiled slightly: "Wash the dishes, just wash the dishes."
After washing for a day, the greasy dishes left her hands with the smell of oil stains. After finally getting off work, she returned to the dressing room exhausted, only to find several waiters smiling ambiguously at her.After she had changed her clothes, she walked out of the hotel tiredly, and someone blew a long whistle at her.
She looked over angrily, and it turned out to be Song Wenqi. He was sitting in the car smiling at her, looking like a frivolous young man.Because he didn't worry, he smiled widely, with an innocent childishness, but it was this kind of childishness that broke the hearts of countless girls.But Su Mei was already immune to this smile, she stood wearily at the door and asked, "Song Wenqi, how did you find this place?"
"I have a lot of friends, I found out." Song Wenqi said with a playful smile.
He smiled like a pure fawn, and with the bright light above his head, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a halo, which made the eyes of the two little waiters who were welcoming guests straight.Su Mei frowned: "What do you want from me, tell me quickly, don't harm anyone here."
"I have nothing to say. Didn't you find a new job? I'm just happy for you and I want to treat you to a meal." He blinked deliberately, a good-looking young man who likes to be funny, even the wind was a little moved by him at this moment sweetness.
But Su Mei didn't like this, and rolled her eyes at him: "We need to make an appointment in advance for the evening reservation here."
He immediately turned to the two welcoming waiters at the door, and flatteringly said, "Beauty, do you have private rooms here at night?"
"Yes." The waiter endured the feeling of suffocation, and hurriedly led him into the small private room.
The heating in the private room was fully turned on. He took off his coat and only wore a dark blue pullover sweater. His figure was already in good shape, and the sweater that highlighted his lines made him look very handsome.
Su Mei pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "Say something quickly, I'm still in a hurry to get off work."
He suddenly stopped talking, but looked at her seriously: "Are you tired from the new job?"
"good."
"Did they bully you?"
"How come, have you forgotten how arrogant and domineering I used to be, am I the master of being bullied? I'm almost as good as bullying others."
Although the expression on Su Mei's face was very calm, Song Wenqi felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if the cold wind was hunting and forcing people.For a girl who suddenly lost her comfortable environment, wandering outside was naturally more difficult than he had imagined.He didn't ask any more, but ordered a table full of dishes, but because Su Mei was worried that Ye Meixiang would be alone at home, she only ate two casual bites, and wiped her mouth: "I'm going first, you eat slowly."
As soon as Su Mei left, Song Wenqi naturally couldn't eat anymore. After paying the bill, he didn't rush back, but rode to a nearby supermarket by bicycle.Then he returned to the restaurant with a bag of fruit and chocolates, and waved to the waiters who had just got off work.
The little girls liked snacks, so they all gathered around chattering: "Are you Su Mei's boyfriend?"
Song Wenqi felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, but soon raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course, you are not allowed to bully her."
"We are ordinary migrant workers. How dare we bully others? Our manager is the one who hates us." The girls chattered while picking up snacks, "We saw her running out crying last night and thought she wouldn't come today. It's time to go to work."
Song Wenqi's face changed, and his smiling face suddenly froze: "Is she crying?"
The girls carrying snacks didn't notice his expression, and continued: "I still went back crying, our manager likes to bully us powerless little girls, sometimes I really want to pour the dishwater on his face superior."
Song Wenqi said unhurriedly, "Is your manager here?"
"I got off work early, but he comes early every morning."
In the city in the morning, the air is cool and the sky is crystal clear and sweet. Song Wenqi is leaning against the wall with messy hair. The waiter who opened the door was a little surprised: "Sir, we are not open yet."
"I'm looking for your manager."
The waiter only thought that he was a student who was going to apply for a job, so he sat in the lobby and waited for the manager.At about 08:30, a fat middle-aged man walked into the manager's office with a briefcase in his hands.
Song Wenqi followed. He swiftly pushed open the door that the manager was about to close. The unsuspecting man was startled: "Who are you, what are you doing?"
Song Wenqi grabbed the bread on the manager's table, chewed it, and said, "I just want to warn you, don't use your brains in the future."
"Who are you? You broke into my office early in the morning. If you don't leave, I'll call security."
Song Wenqi frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes sharply, and when he squeezed his hands hard, bread crumbs flew down like snowflakes: "I'm Su Mei's friend, I heard that you bullied her, so I just came to complain, why don't you?" , can't you?"
"So it's Su Mei, that little goblin. Who am I?" The manager didn't know about Song Wenqi's background, but only thought of what a friend of a waiter could do. He looked at Song Wenqi with contempt.
Before the manager finished speaking, Song Wenqi's body froze, and his tone was very severe: "What did you say? Try saying it again?"
The manager smiled contemptuously: "If you say it ten times more, she is also a goblin. I told you, what do you dare to do?"
Song Wenqi turned his head and swung his fist. His voice was flat but fierce: "I'll let you talk nonsense."
After being punched inexplicably, the manager said furiously, "Come here, where is the security guard, where is the security guard?"
Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in Song Wenqi's fist.
Waking up in the morning, Su Mei's hands were so sore, she endured the pain and put on a plaster.When she came to the Cantonese restaurant, the foreman stood at the door and gave her a very ugly smile: "Su Mei, are you still coming to work?"
She didn't understand why, so the foreman said with a bitter face, "Your friend came to make trouble this morning."
"My friend?" Su Mei was still in a daze, and the manager had already walked over with a livid face. Su Mei saw that the normally high-spirited man's face was swollen as if he had been stung by a wasp. He was as embarrassed as he could be. .She held back her laughter and said hello, "Good morning, manager."
"You're still here, you've been fired, don't you know?"
"why?"
"You ask me why, do you young people now think that middle-aged people like us are easy to fool, your friend just left, you go ask him."
Only then did Su Mei understand why the manager's face was swollen like this.She suddenly thought of Song Wenqi, it must be him, she ran to the corner of the street without thinking about the two days' wages.
As expected, it was him. He was sitting on the motorcycle at this moment, and pulled out an extremely ugly smile at her.He was even more embarrassed than the manager, with bloodshot eyes still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Your mouth is bleeding." She said coldly.
"I know." He replied bluntly.
"Then you still fight?"
"I hate bullying the most."
"Who said he bullied people?"
"The waiters in your store said that they said that you were punished because you offended him."
Su Mei was so angry that she trembled all over, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "But you shouldn't fight."
"Why not, no one can bully you." Song Wenqi suddenly roared angrily.
Yes, youthful liking can be so turbulent and violent, and can be so unstructured and logical.Only he himself knows that he doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to like the girl in front of him.Give her stability and don't let anyone bully her.Even if he gave everything, he would protect her without hesitation.
Su Mei was not grateful, but stared at Song Wenqi, her heart was full of thoughts because of this agitation, like water locked in a hose suddenly found a gap and spewed out together: "Song Wenqi, you are always self-righteous, You always think that this is for my own good, and that is also for my own good, I just want a stable job, I don't think about you that much."
Song Wenqi felt a chill in his heart, but he still glanced at her with a smile: "I'm just afraid that you will be bullied and dare not speak up."
Su Mei covered her ears: "That's enough, I don't want to hear it anymore."
The wound on Song Wenqi's face hurts hotly, but the heart hurts more than the face.Song Wenqi originally thought that she would care about his wound, but he didn't expect her to open her mouth to blame.He only felt cold in his heart, just like the nanny at home butchered a fish, he was the fish whose stomach had been ripped open, not to mention the pain in the wound, she still sprinkled salt on his wound vigorously.He was suddenly speechless, looked at Su Mei annoyed, and looked at her with burning eyes: "Su Mei, you are a wolf-hearted dog, even if I die for you, you won't even look at me, right?"
"Yes, you just know." She replied angrily.
Song Wenqi choked on her words, she was always like this, hurting people, but she still had an innocent and naive attitude.
Song Wenqi didn't speak any more, he started the car, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car flew out like an arrow off the string.The wind was whistling in his ears, and he could no longer hear it, only feeling a dull pain in his heart.Su Mei's words just now were like a knife, and also like a ferocious beast, stretching out deadly blades and minions towards him, but he still tried his best to hit it.So some people will say that liking someone is like a life of looking for abuse.
When I got home, my mother was about to go to the poker game. Seeing the criss-crossing bruises on his face, she screamed in fright: "What's the matter with you?"
Song Wenqi said impatiently: "If you fall from a bicycle, you won't die."
"You kid, you like to go crazy. If you don't drive several cars at home, what kind of motorcycle do you have to ride?"
"Yeah, I'm mentally ill, you can send me to the hospital."
"What nonsense, come here quickly, let me see the wound, but don't get any inflammation."
"Leave me alone." He shook off his mother.
His temper has always been very stubborn, Song's mother had nothing to do, she looked at him angrily: "You are getting more and more presumptuous now, do you talk to adults like this?"
Song Wenqi walked up the stairs angrily, noncommittal, he was sick during this time, as long as anyone who has ever been young, when he was young, he must have encountered a hopeless love, ignorant heartbeat, for this love And the heartbeat is always worrying about gains and losses.But if you really like someone, there is simply no other way but to continue liking willfully.
Song Wenqi was lying on the bed, and the wound on his face had already been treated with medicine at the insistence of his mother. Apart from some pain, there was basically no serious problem.I don't know how long I lay there, but it seemed to be raining outside the window, tick-tock.He didn't like to hear the sound of rain, and when he got up to close the window, he saw someone wandering at the intersection in front of the villa.
At this time, my mother is at a poker game, my father is at a dinner party, and the nanny has already gone to bed. Who will appear under the street lamp?After carefully identifying it for a while, he suddenly recognized Su Mei hovering under the street lamp. He felt happy again, so he rushed down the stairs, and the rain wet his hair.
She stood under the street lamp and saw him, she handed him the soup pot in her hand: "Here's for you, drink it to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
He refused to take it: "You know that what I want is not a pot of soup."
"A son like you, what do you need?" Su Mei pretended not to understand the meaning of his words.
"What kind of son am I?"
"You can't get what you want. If you reach out for the stars in the sky, your family can find a way for you." She stood there pretending not to understand his anger, and laughed at him while taking the soup plug in her hand. into his hand, "Don't be coquettish, drink it or not, and pour it out if you don't drink it."
After speaking, she ran away.
Song Wenqi was left standing there with a pot of soup, so awkward that he wanted to eat people.
After a bit of rain and the quarrel with Song Wenqi, Su Mei had a cold, so she went home and took some cold medicine, covered her head and fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and the phone at home was ringing non-stop.
She answered the phone impatiently.
"Miss Su, last time we looked at the resume you put in our Luyuan advertising company, there just happened to be a vacancy for an advertising copy, and I want you to try it."
Advertising company?Has she submitted a resume?Maybe it was cast during that time when I was casting a net for fishing. There is nothing more warming than sending charcoal in the snow. She agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, then when can I go to work?"
"You can join the job at any time, if you have any questions, you can contact me."
Hanging up the phone, she almost jumped up: "I found a job."
After breakfast, she was going to report to the company.Opening the door, the sun was warm after the rain, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Song Wenqi leaned against the motorcycle, put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood there obliquely, and smiled at her: "I'll return your soup pot. "
"Don't you want to drink?" Su Mei glared at him angrily.
"You know I like to talk angry." Song Wenqi rubbed his hair awkwardly, "The soup tastes pretty good. To express my gratitude, may I treat you to lunch?"
"I am very busy."
"Didn't you just lose your job? What are you busy with?" Song Wenqi said disdainfully.
"I have found a new job." Su Mei said proudly.
"Then it's time to go to dinner. It's congratulations on finding a new job."
In just one sentence, she has already run a long distance in two or three steps.In the morning light of late autumn, she was covered with faint sunlight, jumping lightly, turning her head like a deer, blinking her eyes, showing her naughty look before all the changes: "I said that I am gold, and there will always be Shiny, thank you for screwing up my work, what a blessing in disguise."
Seeing her smile, his heart tickled superficially.He suddenly felt that a dead tree would sprout new shoots every spring. Although she had undergone tremendous changes, the gears of time were still moving forward. One day she would forget the past and go to a new day.
(End of this chapter)
Liang Yi was holding two huge grapefruits and was going to see Su Mei. When she walked to the opposite road, she saw someone looking outside Su Mei's sealed door. She stopped and asked curiously: "Who are you, where are you?" What are you doing?"
The man turned around when he heard her voice, and Liang Yi recognized that this person was Zhou Xiaochen who was often called a big-breasted woman by Su Mei.Zhou Xiaochen said sadly: "I'm Su Mei's classmate, I just want to see how she is doing now?"
Speaking of Su Mei, Liang Yi never thought that Su Mei would fall from the clouds to the dust in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xiaochen lowered his head, because of Su Mei's relationship Liang Yi didn't have a good impression of her before, but today Zhou Xiaochen acted very sad and didn't take pleasure in others' misfortunes at all, so she didn't find her annoying anymore.So she said, "I'm going to see Su Mei, do you want to go together?"
Zhou Xiaochen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands: "It's gone, Su Mei doesn't necessarily want to see me."
That's true, Liang Yi was also afraid that Zhou Xiaochen's appearance would irritate Su Mei, so he didn't force her, hugged grapefruit and said "goodbye" to her before leaving.
After parting with Liang Yi, Zhou Xiaochen went back to the small, dark room that he rented. The room was cold, because there was no sunlight, and there was a damp and musty smell.
She turned on the light, and there was a hint of warmth in the dimly lit room.She put the fish she bought from the vegetable market on the table, and said to herself: "I went to see Su Yuan'an's house today, and it feels a bit deserted after only a few days in such a lively place."
The room was still quiet, and she continued: "Su Yuan'an's sentence has come down, 20 years, do you think it's too short?" She poured a glass of water, walked to a corner of the bedroom, "have a drink water?"
The woman in the corner of the room was still sitting there motionless, only swallowing water mechanically with her mouth.
"Aren't you happy that you finally saw this day with your own eyes?" Zhou Xiaochen spread out the newspaper he brought back, and the economic page was surprisingly a photo of Su Yuanan when he was sentenced.Pointing to the picture, she asked, "Do you still remember this person? You see, he will be serving his sentence starting tomorrow, his family property has also been seized, and his daughter who is so precious can only be sent to others now. But It doesn't matter, I have been dependent on others since I was two years old, and she is too many years behind me."
The woman moved slightly. Zhou Xiaochen was very satisfied with the woman's reaction, and said with a smile, "How about we steam the fish tonight? I bought some wine. Let's celebrate."
The woman drinking water moved slightly again, Zhou Xiaochen put down the glass, and walked into the kitchen with a happy expression.She cleaned the fish and steamed it over the fire.In the dark night, the water vapor covered her eyes, and no one could see the cold light reflected in those beautiful eyes. She was completely different from her usual gentleness and calmness.
Liang Yi carried the pomelo and came to Su Meixin's rented place. The environment of the community is good. It is an apartment near the sea. The room facilities are high-end and neat and clean. Is it only 500 yuan? Can you rent such a beautiful apartment for 500 yuan?"
"I met a good landlord." Su Mei said with a smile.
"There are still good people these days. I guess they either got kicked in the head by a donkey, or they are greedy for beauty."
Su Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just that you like to think wildly, the landlord is a woman, and she won't come back after a short stay abroad, so she said she was looking for someone to look after the house for her."
Hearing what she said, Liang Yi gave up and threw two grapefruits on the sofa. She slumped on the sofa and relaxed her tone: "Why can't I encounter such a good thing."
Su Mei knew that Liang Yi did it on purpose, she must have thought that she was still sad about what happened at home, so she tried her best to make her happy and distract her.She knew it in her heart, but she didn't point it out. She picked up the grapefruit Liang Yi had given her and prepared to peel it and eat it. She said casually, "Bring me the fruit knife."
"Where are you?"
"On the coffee table in front of you."
When Liang Yi picked up the fruit knife, she saw the newspaper on the coffee table, and the recruitment column on it was marked with a red pen. She picked it up curiously: "Hey, are you looking for a job?"
Su Mei took her fruit knife and said casually: "Although the rent is small, it still has to be paid every month, and my mother's medical expenses are also paid every month. The money in my hand can't last long, so I must find a job as soon as possible.
Liang Yi watched Su Mei clumsily peeling the grapefruit, feeling sad for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything.She snatched the pomelo from Su Mei's hand, and said mockingly: "Let me do it, peeling grapefruit is a technical job, not everyone can do it well."
Su Mei didn't say anything, but felt warm in her heart.Although Liang Yi doesn't know how to comfort others, she can always use actions to make her feel at ease.She sat quietly on the sofa, watching the pomelo peel turn into a flower under Liang Yi's fingers, and the fragrance of pomelo wafted in the small room by the sea.
At first, Su Mei started to look for a job full of confidence, but after a few days she was hit hard.The advertisements in the recruitment newspapers have been messed up by Su Mei, and there is still no clue about the new job. Those high-ranking personnel managers gave her polite and alienated answers. They just asked her to wait for the notice. No food.
She sat helplessly on the steps with a newspaper, the salty sea breeze slapped her face, and the back and forth wind made her face wet, dry, and astringent.
"Hey." Someone threw a stone at her.
It was Song Wenqi, who was too idle to go crazy, Su Mei shouted distraughtly: "Why are you everywhere, how do you know I live here?"
"It was Liang Yi who told me that you lived here, and I have been waiting for you all day." Song Wenqi sat next to her as if he knew her very well, and saw that she was holding the "City Express" newspaper in her hand, "Are you here?" When looking for a job, why don’t you tell me, as long as my dad says something, your job can be done.”
She rebuffed confidently: "You are not who I am, what do I beg you to do?"
He was not angry: "Don't talk big, it's still a long time, maybe someday you will beg me."
"Do you think I can't find a job with my own abilities?" Su Mei tilted her head and asked him back.
Song Wenqi suddenly stopped talking, because the dim street lamp cast a lemon-colored halo on her face, she tilted her head, and the childlike expression of wanting to be recognized was a kind of strange beauty that cannot be described .He suddenly stood there in a daze, and after a while he asked in a shameful manner: "You really don't need me to help you?"
"unnecessary."
"Well, count me as being affectionate."
"It's your strong point to be passionate." She laughed.
Song Wenqi covered his chest and pretended to be hurt and sang: "You hurt me, and you just laughed it off."
Su Mei smiled at him: "Don't poison my ears if you don't have all the five notes."
Seeing her smile, Song Wenqi worked harder, and his out-of-tune singing made Su Mei burst into laughter.But how could Su Mei know that he had never acted as a clown before.But at this time, he opened his mouth wide and deliberately twisted his body, all just to let the dark clouds in her eyes disperse, even if the dark clouds only disperse for a second, he would feel relieved.
When Song Wenqi came home, the food was already on the table, and it was rare for his mother not to play cards, waiting for him to eat together.Song Wenqi scooped up a bowl of soup with a playful smile on his face: "Mom, have those players of yours abandoned you?"
Song's mother has long been accustomed to her son's unhealthy behavior: "Your grandma will come over next week. You know that the old man is not in good health, so I want to arrange for them to live in your apartment by the sea. The air is fresh and you can go to the beach. walk."
Song Wenqi fiddled with a fish over and over with his chopsticks, and said in a very casual tone, "I have already rented out that house."
"You rented out the house!" Song's mother yelled sharply, "You don't need money, why do you want to rent out the house?"
"If you want to rent it, you can rent it." Song Wenqi didn't care.
"If you want to rent, you can rent it. If you don't want to study abroad, you don't want to study abroad. You say that you don't need a little brain to do things."
Where do you have brains when you are a teenager?If you had brains, you wouldn't have to fall in love with someone so hard. Song Wenqi put down his chopsticks: "Anyway, the contract has already been signed. After five years of signing, if you want to regret the contract, you can only go to court."
"you……"
"Our family is so big that we can't accommodate grandpa and grandma." Song Wenqi said seriously, "If you really want grandma and the others to live in a sea view room, then I have to prepare for a lawsuit."
Song's mother held her head angrily: "Forget it, the contract has already been signed, and I still have to go to court over this shit, I'll be free."
"Mom, don't be angry. Look at the table full of seafood. If you don't eat it, it will be cold." Song Wenqi put a piece of fish in his mother's bowl in a fawning manner.
Mother Song couldn't resist him, so she had to sit down and eat: "Sooner or later, I will be pissed to death by your child."
Mother was half dead with anger, but Song Wenqi looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Su Mei looked at the newspaper dejectedly. Although she said that she could find a job, the remaining jobs in the recruitment column were public relations managers, waiters, and waiters with low wages.
She never thought about it before, some people's salary is only the price of her dress.Frustrated, she circled some advertisements for waiters with a pen again, and she was going to serve the dishes and wash the dishes.
Sure enough, it was much easier to find a job after lowering the standard. Two days later, she found a Cantonese restaurant, and the job was a little better than she thought. She didn't have to wash the dishes and serve the dishes, but just stood at the door to welcome guests.This job does not require professional skills and education, as long as you smile professionally every day and show your eight teeth neatly.
It was only the first day at work that she had an affair with the manager.Although she was tired at work on the first day, Su Mei survived.She was changing clothes in the locker room when she got off work, and accidentally bumped into someone when she went out. She stepped back and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Are you new here?" The other party didn't scold her, but asked with a smile.
Only then did Su Mei dare to raise her head, and the person she bumped into was a greasy middle-aged man, with a wrinkled face full of smiles: "I am your manager, come to my office."
Su Mei's visit to this Cantonese restaurant was recruited by the head waiter in charge of the waiters, so she didn't know the manager.Seeing the manager with a smile on his face, she also liked him very much, so she followed him in without doubting him.
There were only her and the manager in the huge office. At that time, he had a fake smile on his face: "How is it? Are you tired on the first day at work?"
Su Mei smiled and said, "It's okay."
The manager knocked on the table with his hands, and looked at Su Mei straightly: "Actually, why does such a beautiful girl like you have to suffer so much?"
Su Mei suddenly panicked, she had never been in the workplace before, and she thought that the manager came to her just to talk about things to pay attention to at work, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.She didn't know what to do, so she just stood there reluctantly, lowered her head and said softly, "It's okay."
The manager smiled and stood up: "As long as you nod, I can let you get more money than here without going to work."
She knew that she was beautiful, but the manager's behavior had been an insult to her for a long time. She said, "Manager, I'm going to get off work first."
The fat man suddenly stopped talking, just smiled and grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.She staggered, and she rushed forward, a strong smell of perfume made her nauseated, she shouted loudly: "Manager, if you do this again, I will call someone."
The manager was not afraid of her threat, and the strength in his hands became heavier. Su Mei's nose was sour, and the grievances poured out like a spring, but there was nothing he could do. She almost instinctively pushed her knees towards the opponent.
The manager finally let go of his hand with a muffled grunt, and Su Mei retreated towards the door, screaming as she retreated: "Is there anyone outside?"
The manager snorted coldly through his nose: "I don't know how to flatter you."
Su Mei ran away as if fleeing, and she didn't know how she got home.When she got home, she found that one of her shoes was missing. Ye Meixiang smiled at her dumbfoundedly at her embarrassment. The floor was dirty, with bread crumbs and milk stains everywhere. Plum stained floor.
Ye Meixiang was sitting on the side in a daze. Her condition has not improved at all, and the medicine must not be stopped.Although she was wronged, but because it was difficult to find a job, when the alarm clock rang early the next morning, Su Mei went back to the hotel neatly dressed.The foreman was a little surprised when he saw her, but he didn't say much. He asked her to change into another set of clothes, and then took her to the kitchen: "The manager said he would transfer you to wash the dishes."
Su Mei looked at the pile of dishes like a hill, she was not angry, she smiled slightly: "Wash the dishes, just wash the dishes."
After washing for a day, the greasy dishes left her hands with the smell of oil stains. After finally getting off work, she returned to the dressing room exhausted, only to find several waiters smiling ambiguously at her.After she had changed her clothes, she walked out of the hotel tiredly, and someone blew a long whistle at her.
She looked over angrily, and it turned out to be Song Wenqi. He was sitting in the car smiling at her, looking like a frivolous young man.Because he didn't worry, he smiled widely, with an innocent childishness, but it was this kind of childishness that broke the hearts of countless girls.But Su Mei was already immune to this smile, she stood wearily at the door and asked, "Song Wenqi, how did you find this place?"
"I have a lot of friends, I found out." Song Wenqi said with a playful smile.
He smiled like a pure fawn, and with the bright light above his head, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a halo, which made the eyes of the two little waiters who were welcoming guests straight.Su Mei frowned: "What do you want from me, tell me quickly, don't harm anyone here."
"I have nothing to say. Didn't you find a new job? I'm just happy for you and I want to treat you to a meal." He blinked deliberately, a good-looking young man who likes to be funny, even the wind was a little moved by him at this moment sweetness.
But Su Mei didn't like this, and rolled her eyes at him: "We need to make an appointment in advance for the evening reservation here."
He immediately turned to the two welcoming waiters at the door, and flatteringly said, "Beauty, do you have private rooms here at night?"
"Yes." The waiter endured the feeling of suffocation, and hurriedly led him into the small private room.
The heating in the private room was fully turned on. He took off his coat and only wore a dark blue pullover sweater. His figure was already in good shape, and the sweater that highlighted his lines made him look very handsome.
Su Mei pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "Say something quickly, I'm still in a hurry to get off work."
He suddenly stopped talking, but looked at her seriously: "Are you tired from the new job?"
"good."
"Did they bully you?"
"How come, have you forgotten how arrogant and domineering I used to be, am I the master of being bullied? I'm almost as good as bullying others."
Although the expression on Su Mei's face was very calm, Song Wenqi felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if the cold wind was hunting and forcing people.For a girl who suddenly lost her comfortable environment, wandering outside was naturally more difficult than he had imagined.He didn't ask any more, but ordered a table full of dishes, but because Su Mei was worried that Ye Meixiang would be alone at home, she only ate two casual bites, and wiped her mouth: "I'm going first, you eat slowly."
As soon as Su Mei left, Song Wenqi naturally couldn't eat anymore. After paying the bill, he didn't rush back, but rode to a nearby supermarket by bicycle.Then he returned to the restaurant with a bag of fruit and chocolates, and waved to the waiters who had just got off work.
The little girls liked snacks, so they all gathered around chattering: "Are you Su Mei's boyfriend?"
Song Wenqi felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, but soon raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course, you are not allowed to bully her."
"We are ordinary migrant workers. How dare we bully others? Our manager is the one who hates us." The girls chattered while picking up snacks, "We saw her running out crying last night and thought she wouldn't come today. It's time to go to work."
Song Wenqi's face changed, and his smiling face suddenly froze: "Is she crying?"
The girls carrying snacks didn't notice his expression, and continued: "I still went back crying, our manager likes to bully us powerless little girls, sometimes I really want to pour the dishwater on his face superior."
Song Wenqi said unhurriedly, "Is your manager here?"
"I got off work early, but he comes early every morning."
In the city in the morning, the air is cool and the sky is crystal clear and sweet. Song Wenqi is leaning against the wall with messy hair. The waiter who opened the door was a little surprised: "Sir, we are not open yet."
"I'm looking for your manager."
The waiter only thought that he was a student who was going to apply for a job, so he sat in the lobby and waited for the manager.At about 08:30, a fat middle-aged man walked into the manager's office with a briefcase in his hands.
Song Wenqi followed. He swiftly pushed open the door that the manager was about to close. The unsuspecting man was startled: "Who are you, what are you doing?"
Song Wenqi grabbed the bread on the manager's table, chewed it, and said, "I just want to warn you, don't use your brains in the future."
"Who are you? You broke into my office early in the morning. If you don't leave, I'll call security."
Song Wenqi frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes sharply, and when he squeezed his hands hard, bread crumbs flew down like snowflakes: "I'm Su Mei's friend, I heard that you bullied her, so I just came to complain, why don't you?" , can't you?"
"So it's Su Mei, that little goblin. Who am I?" The manager didn't know about Song Wenqi's background, but only thought of what a friend of a waiter could do. He looked at Song Wenqi with contempt.
Before the manager finished speaking, Song Wenqi's body froze, and his tone was very severe: "What did you say? Try saying it again?"
The manager smiled contemptuously: "If you say it ten times more, she is also a goblin. I told you, what do you dare to do?"
Song Wenqi turned his head and swung his fist. His voice was flat but fierce: "I'll let you talk nonsense."
After being punched inexplicably, the manager said furiously, "Come here, where is the security guard, where is the security guard?"
Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in Song Wenqi's fist.
Waking up in the morning, Su Mei's hands were so sore, she endured the pain and put on a plaster.When she came to the Cantonese restaurant, the foreman stood at the door and gave her a very ugly smile: "Su Mei, are you still coming to work?"
She didn't understand why, so the foreman said with a bitter face, "Your friend came to make trouble this morning."
"My friend?" Su Mei was still in a daze, and the manager had already walked over with a livid face. Su Mei saw that the normally high-spirited man's face was swollen as if he had been stung by a wasp. He was as embarrassed as he could be. .She held back her laughter and said hello, "Good morning, manager."
"You're still here, you've been fired, don't you know?"
"why?"
"You ask me why, do you young people now think that middle-aged people like us are easy to fool, your friend just left, you go ask him."
Only then did Su Mei understand why the manager's face was swollen like this.She suddenly thought of Song Wenqi, it must be him, she ran to the corner of the street without thinking about the two days' wages.
As expected, it was him. He was sitting on the motorcycle at this moment, and pulled out an extremely ugly smile at her.He was even more embarrassed than the manager, with bloodshot eyes still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Your mouth is bleeding." She said coldly.
"I know." He replied bluntly.
"Then you still fight?"
"I hate bullying the most."
"Who said he bullied people?"
"The waiters in your store said that they said that you were punished because you offended him."
Su Mei was so angry that she trembled all over, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "But you shouldn't fight."
"Why not, no one can bully you." Song Wenqi suddenly roared angrily.
Yes, youthful liking can be so turbulent and violent, and can be so unstructured and logical.Only he himself knows that he doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to like the girl in front of him.Give her stability and don't let anyone bully her.Even if he gave everything, he would protect her without hesitation.
Su Mei was not grateful, but stared at Song Wenqi, her heart was full of thoughts because of this agitation, like water locked in a hose suddenly found a gap and spewed out together: "Song Wenqi, you are always self-righteous, You always think that this is for my own good, and that is also for my own good, I just want a stable job, I don't think about you that much."
Song Wenqi felt a chill in his heart, but he still glanced at her with a smile: "I'm just afraid that you will be bullied and dare not speak up."
Su Mei covered her ears: "That's enough, I don't want to hear it anymore."
The wound on Song Wenqi's face hurts hotly, but the heart hurts more than the face.Song Wenqi originally thought that she would care about his wound, but he didn't expect her to open her mouth to blame.He only felt cold in his heart, just like the nanny at home butchered a fish, he was the fish whose stomach had been ripped open, not to mention the pain in the wound, she still sprinkled salt on his wound vigorously.He was suddenly speechless, looked at Su Mei annoyed, and looked at her with burning eyes: "Su Mei, you are a wolf-hearted dog, even if I die for you, you won't even look at me, right?"
"Yes, you just know." She replied angrily.
Song Wenqi choked on her words, she was always like this, hurting people, but she still had an innocent and naive attitude.
Song Wenqi didn't speak any more, he started the car, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car flew out like an arrow off the string.The wind was whistling in his ears, and he could no longer hear it, only feeling a dull pain in his heart.Su Mei's words just now were like a knife, and also like a ferocious beast, stretching out deadly blades and minions towards him, but he still tried his best to hit it.So some people will say that liking someone is like a life of looking for abuse.
When I got home, my mother was about to go to the poker game. Seeing the criss-crossing bruises on his face, she screamed in fright: "What's the matter with you?"
Song Wenqi said impatiently: "If you fall from a bicycle, you won't die."
"You kid, you like to go crazy. If you don't drive several cars at home, what kind of motorcycle do you have to ride?"
"Yeah, I'm mentally ill, you can send me to the hospital."
"What nonsense, come here quickly, let me see the wound, but don't get any inflammation."
"Leave me alone." He shook off his mother.
His temper has always been very stubborn, Song's mother had nothing to do, she looked at him angrily: "You are getting more and more presumptuous now, do you talk to adults like this?"
Song Wenqi walked up the stairs angrily, noncommittal, he was sick during this time, as long as anyone who has ever been young, when he was young, he must have encountered a hopeless love, ignorant heartbeat, for this love And the heartbeat is always worrying about gains and losses.But if you really like someone, there is simply no other way but to continue liking willfully.
Song Wenqi was lying on the bed, and the wound on his face had already been treated with medicine at the insistence of his mother. Apart from some pain, there was basically no serious problem.I don't know how long I lay there, but it seemed to be raining outside the window, tick-tock.He didn't like to hear the sound of rain, and when he got up to close the window, he saw someone wandering at the intersection in front of the villa.
At this time, my mother is at a poker game, my father is at a dinner party, and the nanny has already gone to bed. Who will appear under the street lamp?After carefully identifying it for a while, he suddenly recognized Su Mei hovering under the street lamp. He felt happy again, so he rushed down the stairs, and the rain wet his hair.
She stood under the street lamp and saw him, she handed him the soup pot in her hand: "Here's for you, drink it to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
He refused to take it: "You know that what I want is not a pot of soup."
"A son like you, what do you need?" Su Mei pretended not to understand the meaning of his words.
"What kind of son am I?"
"You can't get what you want. If you reach out for the stars in the sky, your family can find a way for you." She stood there pretending not to understand his anger, and laughed at him while taking the soup plug in her hand. into his hand, "Don't be coquettish, drink it or not, and pour it out if you don't drink it."
After speaking, she ran away.
Song Wenqi was left standing there with a pot of soup, so awkward that he wanted to eat people.
After a bit of rain and the quarrel with Song Wenqi, Su Mei had a cold, so she went home and took some cold medicine, covered her head and fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and the phone at home was ringing non-stop.
She answered the phone impatiently.
"Miss Su, last time we looked at the resume you put in our Luyuan advertising company, there just happened to be a vacancy for an advertising copy, and I want you to try it."
Advertising company?Has she submitted a resume?Maybe it was cast during that time when I was casting a net for fishing. There is nothing more warming than sending charcoal in the snow. She agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, then when can I go to work?"
"You can join the job at any time, if you have any questions, you can contact me."
Hanging up the phone, she almost jumped up: "I found a job."
After breakfast, she was going to report to the company.Opening the door, the sun was warm after the rain, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Song Wenqi leaned against the motorcycle, put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood there obliquely, and smiled at her: "I'll return your soup pot. "
"Don't you want to drink?" Su Mei glared at him angrily.
"You know I like to talk angry." Song Wenqi rubbed his hair awkwardly, "The soup tastes pretty good. To express my gratitude, may I treat you to lunch?"
"I am very busy."
"Didn't you just lose your job? What are you busy with?" Song Wenqi said disdainfully.
"I have found a new job." Su Mei said proudly.
"Then it's time to go to dinner. It's congratulations on finding a new job."
In just one sentence, she has already run a long distance in two or three steps.In the morning light of late autumn, she was covered with faint sunlight, jumping lightly, turning her head like a deer, blinking her eyes, showing her naughty look before all the changes: "I said that I am gold, and there will always be Shiny, thank you for screwing up my work, what a blessing in disguise."
Seeing her smile, his heart tickled superficially.He suddenly felt that a dead tree would sprout new shoots every spring. Although she had undergone tremendous changes, the gears of time were still moving forward. One day she would forget the past and go to a new day.
