Last time, Xiaojun took me to the pedestrian street, which represents one of the characteristics of the city, and this time he said that he wanted to take me something different.
I asked curiously, "What, so mysterious?"
The slightly smug Xiaojun threw out two tickets from his trouser pocket and waved them excitedly in front of me: "I'll take you to see the tallest building in the city, which is said to be as tall as 88 floors?"
I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when I heard the number 88, I widened my eyes: "88, are you not mistaken?
Xiao Jun made a triumphant gesture: "You heard it right!"
As soon as I think about it, the highest floor I've been to in the last 19 years hasn't been more than two digits. My first reaction was that such a tall building, would it accidentally break the sky?
Then I laughed out loud at how strange I was. Because I was quick to talk about it for a while, I had already unconsciously said this childish idea, and Xiao Jun laughed so much that he couldn't straighten up when he heard it.
Seeing that he was laughing until tears were about to fly out, I glanced at him: "Don't laugh, I just said this casually." ”
Xiaojun laughed until he showed his front teeth, pointed at me with his finger and said, "Xiaohua, you are really funny sometimes." ”
I was a little depressed: "I've only been out for a few days, and if you want to say that I'm dirty, just say it." Don't worry, I promise not to kill you!"
Seeing that I seemed to be angry, Xiaojun barely stopped laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you." Sometimes it's really fun to tease you, but I haven't been here before. ”
"And how did you know there was such a place?"
"Didn't I get a job change?"
"Hmm. ”
"This transfer was successful, and my relatives helped me a lot, and my dad came to see me the day before yesterday. ”
I immediately became excited: "Ah, uncle came so far to see you, why didn't you hear me mention it?"
02
Hearing that Xiaojun's father came so far to see him, I suddenly thought a little about my parents who were far away from home. Don't look at the conflicts with your parents every day at home, all kinds of unhappiness in your heart, and vow to run away.
But after leaving home, I found that I was far from being as strong as I imagined - it was good to be at home for a thousand days, but it was difficult to go out!
Seeing that I was suddenly lost, Xiaojun immediately said, "You think too much, my dad didn't come to see me on purpose." He came to give my relative a souvenir from his hometown, in order to thank him for his help this time. ”
"My dad told me that although things are not valuable, they are a little bit of our family's heart. On behalf of the attitude of the elders in the family, at least we miss the good of others. ”
I couldn't stop nodding: "Uncle is really thoughtful. ”
Xiaojun was also quite touched: "Now that I think about it, I was really ignorant when I was studying, and I talked back to my dad all day long, and I never said a few words to him." In the end, my parents were the most considerate of themselves, and they tried their best to help me with everything. ”
Xiao Jun kicked the small stone at his feet, and the splashed stone quickly poured into the busy road and disappeared.
His face swept past the passers-by and he muttered guiltily, "Sometimes I think about it, I'm such a jerk." ”
Seeing that he was sad, I took the initiative to comfort him and said, "It's not too late for you to be sensible now, just make a lot of money in the future for your uncle and aunt to enjoy." ”
"Yes. ”
Xiaojun remembered what he hadn't finished talking about, and continued to explain to me: "My dad sent a lot of souvenirs to my relatives that couldn't be bought in the city, and I don't know how he carried those big bags and small bags by himself. ”
"Then my relatives gave me two tickets to visit the Golden Trade Building, saying that I would take you up to play. ”
I pointed to myself, "But I haven't seen any of your relatives?"
"Xiaohua, didn't you call my relatives last time. He made a good impression of you and said that he would invite us to dinner when he had the opportunity to do so. ”
I laughed, "Your relatives are pretty nice. ”
"He really helped me a lot. ”
03
At this point, I finally couldn't help but say, "Xiaojun, if you have a chance, can you help me ask about your relatives attending night school." ”
As soon as the words came out, I regretted it a little.
People just helped Xiaojun so much, and I, a person who is not related to relatives and has no reason, pulled down my face to trouble others, and I was a little embarrassed to think about it, so I immediately said: "If it's troublesome, then forget it." ”
Seeing my cowering appearance, Xiaojun was a little amused: "Hey, when did you become like this." I remember when you first came, you were not afraid of heaven and earth, you were simply a desperate Saburo. ”
I immediately retorted: "Hey, my name is knowing advance and retreat." After all, your relatives have just done a great favor, and I'm a little embarrassed to trouble them again. People are not my relatives, so the main reason why people help me is to see your face, okay?"
"I mainly don't want to trouble you!"
Listening to my analysis, Xiaojun slapped his thigh excitedly: "Xiaohua, you can now, thinking about the problem is beginning to be profound." ”
I gave him a blank look: "Hmph, I'm not stupid!"
Through the Gu family's staged officialdom metamorphosis that is no less than a textbook some time ago, as an outsider, I actually benefited a lot.
The essence of human beings is the exchange of interests!
For the sake of profit, the old lady and Mr. Dajiang can pull down their faces and whisper to pat Yao Jing's mother and daughter's ass. Yao Jing's mother and daughter's arrogant attitude is also because they have successfully turned over now.
People in the world can be tired for fame and fortune, and there is no free lunch in this world. Between the clouds and rain, all of them are sharp words.
There is a friendship between Xiaojun and his relatives, what do I have?
04
Xiaojun didn't refuse me: "Okay, I'll find a chance to ask about this." Say hello, I'll call you. ”
Seeing that he agreed, I happily said, "Thank you." ”
Xiaojun shook his head: "Don't say thank you so early, I don't know if I can help you." Let's go. It's too late, it's too late. ”
"Okay. ”
The thought of seeing such a tall building makes me uncontrollable with excitement before anyone arrives.
We took the ferry to the other side of the river, but it felt like a boat from our hometown. 黄埔江的水还没我老家那条没名气的小河清澈，有多少人把这座城市当作自己的未来争先恐后涌来，其实它只是表面光鲜而已。
When I finally arrived at my destination, I looked up and found that the Jin Mao Tower was so tall that I couldn't see the top at a glance. Standing there like an indomitable giant.
我们按照指引，摸索坐电梯上到了88层。
Even though I was riding the elevator, I always felt like I was riding a rocket.
With a whoosh, it soared into the sky.
Standing on the top of the city and looking down on the city, it really feels like you have a view of the mountains. The skyscrapers were all embellished in front of it, and the eyes of the two frogs at the bottom of the well were the excitement of opening the foreign meat.
If it weren't for the fact that I was so hungry that I couldn't do it, Xiaojun and I wouldn't want to leave.
After coming out, we found a small restaurant that looked very clean nearby and ordered two dishes at my insistence. Maybe it was because I was hungry, but I ate two simple dishes with rice, one meat and one vegetarian, and I was very happy.
This feeling is completely different from the feeling of eating those exquisite big fish and meat at the Gu family. At the end of the meal, I even added a small half bowl of rice for the first time.
Xiao Jun looked at me like this and joked: "People who don't know, they still think that you have been wronged by the owner's side and eat bran vegetables every day." ”
I smiled, not trying to explain my mixed feelings.
05
After eating my fill, I rushed to pay for it.
While the boss went to give me change, Xiaojun said to me: "Next time, when I pay my salary, I will invite you to a big meal." ”
Because he finally invited Xiaojun to dinner, he finally fulfilled his long-standing wish. I immediately followed his words and promised: "Then I have to think about it, what will I eat then?"
Seeing me looking forward to it, Xiaojun was puzzled: "Xiaohua, you have been working in the owner for more than a month, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted?"
I explained, "You don't understand, but I kind of understand Chuan De now." ”
At this time, I remembered that I had never officially mentioned Chuande in front of Xiaojun before, so I changed my words and introduced Chuande's identity first: "Chuande is the grandson of my owner, and he is a student of a prestigious university. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Jun shouted, "I know this person." ”
I looked puzzled, "You know?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed on Xiao Jun's face, but he quickly calmed down: "Before you came, I asked a friend about the family's situation. Your owner has a son and a grandson who is in college. ”
I see, I said, "Then you said it earlier, and I will explain to you for a long time." ”
"You didn't ask me. ”
I suddenly remembered: "Xiaojun, thank you for taking such trouble to help me find a job." You see, you not only asked a friend to help me introduce you, but also inquired so carefully that even a few people in my host family remember it so clearly. ”
Xiaojun shook his head: "I didn't think as well as you thought, I asked so carefully at that time because I was worried that you were just here and you were not familiar with the place and were abducted by others." If so, wouldn't I have been busy in vain? ”
"Huh?
06
Seeing that my eyes widened in surprise, Xiao Jun immediately clarified: "But these are all things of the past, don't take it to heart! We are good friends now, and we will still be people who will fight together in the future." You go on, how is that Chuande?"
Listening to Xiaojun say this, I realized what he had to do in the first place: "Oh, I said that I now kind of understand why Chuande would rather stay at school all day than go home. ”
"Little flower, why?"
"It's a bit complicated, I ......"
At this time, the boss sent the change I was looking for, and after I carefully collected it, Xiaojun proposed: "It's not too early, I'll send you back." After buying clothes, I have to go back to the factory early. ”
"Okay, it's a long way back to your factory from me. From here to me, it's estimated that it will take more than two hours by car and boat, right?"
Xiao Jun said with great certainty: "Yes." ”
"Then let's hurry up, and when we get to my side to buy clothes, it's probably almost dinner time." When I go back, Sister Li should have left me dinner, so what should you do?"
Xiaojun thought for a while: "I'll just deal with it on the side of the road, anyway, I haven't eaten in the canteen when I go back to the factory." ”
I couldn't bear to let Xiaojun eat alone, so I said, "Then why don't I join you and we can eat casually?"
Xiaojun immediately rejected my idea: "If you have a big meal, I will definitely pull you." It's a matter of taking a bite casually, why do you have to pull you to accompany me. It's better to go back to your host's house and eat than to eat casually on the road. ”
"Besides, it's not that I'm stingy. Your boss has dinner to eat, so why waste money outside? We don't need to come to each other, don't you also say that it's not easy for us to go out to earn some money. ”
"That's right. ”
I hit it off with Xiaojun and immediately agreed to this decision.
07
Along the way, we talked and laughed, sharing the good mood of climbing high and looking into the distance just now, and poured two buses and came to the vicinity of Gu's house. With these experiences, I have a general idea of the city's traffic.
When I go out in the future, not at all.
After getting out of the car, I skillfully led Xiaojun through the streets and alleys towards the foreign trade clothing store. Gujia is located in a prime location in the downtown area, and it is surrounded by many century-old shops with good reputations.
The two of us passed by a long-established shop selling Western-style sweets when I had a flash of inspiration. I grabbed Xiaojun and said, "Wait, I'll pick two snacks." ”
Xiao Jun, who was obviously not interested in these dim sums, glanced at the dim sum shops in the long line: "I'm not hungry, are you hungry?"
I immediately said, "I'm not hungry, I'll buy two snacks and you can bring them back for me to give to your relatives to taste." ”
Xiao Jun was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"
While pulling the people around me to join the team, I slowly explained to Xiaojun: "Your relative has a child, you can help me bring him the child to eat." People specially gave me a ticket to visit such a fun place today, and that ticket is not cheap. ”
"Besides, he's half my fellow countryman, and I'm not a stranger if I've talked to him on the phone. We happened to be passing by and bought two snacks for his children to take home, even if I had a little heart. ”
Xiao Jun looked at me in a daze.
In fact, there is an invisible line in my heart that I haven't said, that is: "In the future, I will trouble your relatives to help me inquire about things, and many people are not to blame." ”
Two bags of snacks had spent the last of the money in my pocket, and there were only a few coins left to walk, but I didn't feel distressed at all.
08
Xiaojun helped me carry the snacks I bought, and muttered, "Xiaohua, it's actually not necessary. ”
I glanced at him and said seriously, "Whether it's necessary or not, I have the final say." ”
"Why do you .........?"
"Alright, a little thing. ”
I said this with my mouth, but I kept praising myself in my heart. Everyone thinks that others should be good to you, but there are so many free ones waiting for you in the world.
In the past month of working in the Gu family, I have a new level of understanding of human feelings. Especially the human favor, when you can't use it, you can go to the temporary cramming, and it is very important to accumulate bit by bit.
Because Sister Li has been ignoring Mr. Dajiang recently, he has been coming to the kitchen more often than usual these days. The day before yesterday, Sister Li was still cold to him, and Mr. Oe began to defend himself: "You can't blame me for this, you think you have been wronged." ”
"I spend my days socializing outside for the sake of this family. If I hadn't had the connections I've accumulated over the years, how could I have found out in advance about Yao Jing's father being transferred back. You all say that I don't fight, can you do it without me?"
"If I don't socialize outside every day, who will take care of me when something happens. Wine and meat friends also have the benefits of wine and meat friends. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that my friend still barely had a little friendship with Director Li's son, would you think Yao Jing's mother would look at my family squarely?"
"My mother is still old-fashioned, and she doesn't want to think about what kind of society is now? Slowly cultivate feelings, and when feelings are cultivated, the cooked ducks will fly. Yao Jing herself said that her father would arrange for her to study abroad, and when she got to the outside Huahua World, what would happen to Chuande?"
09
Later, Sister Li lowered her voice and said exactly to Mr. Oe, I don't know.
But after listening to what Mr. Oe said, I did find that it is beneficial to make more friends. For example, Xiaojun's well-informed relatives are the benchmark on our life path.
Seeing that I insisted, Xiaojun didn't say anything more: "Then I'll thank you for my relatives!"
"Thanks, it's not a good thing. ”
The two of us talked all the way into the foreign trade clothing store, and the quality of the men's clothing in it was really good. The most important thing is that the proprietress of the clothing store recognized my dress as theirs at a glance: "Little girl, this skirt should not be too smart on you!"
I smiled sweetly: "Yes, many people on the road ask me where I bought it? I always tell them the address, saying that this clothing store is good and cheap." Hostess, I also brought my friends over to buy it today. ”
"In the future, whenever my friends want to buy clothes, I will bring them here. ”
The proprietress immediately smiled at her face and praised me for talking, and I stared at her face and began to wonder if the powder would fall off.
The man's clothes were relatively simple, and Xiaojun quickly picked two sets.
Because this store is all clear and real, according to the tag price, there is a lot of money. Just when Xiaojun was about to pay for it, I said to the proprietress with a smile: "Sister, we are all old guests, and my friend came from far away to buy your clothes." ”
I pushed Xiaojun: "You say, isn't it?"
Xiaojun nodded hurriedly and reported the address of the factory.
I smiled and asked, "Sister, give us a little cheaper, right?" next time, I'll bring my friends over. Xiaojun, you go back and introduce your friends, if they want to buy clothes, you can bring them over. Sister's clothes here are good and cheap, how cost-effective!"
Just as I was talking, the proprietress with scarlet lips hurriedly interrupted me: "You little girl is so good at talking, I'm embarrassed to make a little mouth crackle." So I'll give you the odds and erase them, and don't tell anyone else. ”
"Thank you, sister!"
Xiaojun gave me a thumbs up.
10
We walked out of the clothing store with a full load, Xiaojun looked at me in surprise and said, "Xiaohua, why didn't I find out that you were so eloquent before?"
I was a little confused: "It's okay. ”
"What's okay, it's just amazing. It's only been a long time since this came out, and you've really impressed me. I now realize that it was a bit condescending to let you be a babysitter in the first place?"
"Hey, you're exaggerating. I'm just bargaining with the proprietress for a bargain, is it worth all the fuss you make?"
"No, think about what your temper was like when you came here? Now I think you're about to overtake me, and you say I've changed a lot. In fact, the person who has changed the most is you, not me. ”
Listening to Xiaojun's more and more outrageous, I couldn't help but push him: "You don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiaojun didn't be polite to me, and gently pushed me back: "Where do I have nonsense, or you should go with me to run business." Don't sit here as a babysitter, I'm not happy to see you do this anyway. ”
"I don't want to. ”
"Why not, running a business is actually fun?"
"Don't lie to me, what's the fun?"
In Hip-Hop-Ha, Xiaojun and I jokingly pushed each other around.
When he was happy, a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
The sudden voice made me turn my head sharply, and I saw Chuan De, dressed in black, with a cold expression, standing behind me. I was stunned for a while: "Why are you back?"
Chuan De stared at me and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet?"
I hurriedly explained: "Today I rest. ”
