In the rental house, Zhang Yi vividly introduced the unbearable past events, and Xiao Si couldn't help being fascinated by listening. He thought that most of the tramps, like him, were unloved, and that's why they fell into such a state.
It never occurred to me that when Zhang Yi was young, he was engaged in a very respectable job, but he also fell into the dust.
"Uncle, what happened next? Did you marry Li Cuihua as your wife?" Xiao Si poured a cup of tea and handed Zhang Yi a piece of bread.
Zhang Yi looked outside the house. It was cloudy and rainy today, and no one had come to ask for books, so he calmed down and said slowly: "It's all like this, how can we continue talking. It's a pity that I didn't carry that bag of peanuts on my back." Come back. It took my mother a few months to grow it."
Zhang Yi's mother naturally felt that the Li family lion had opened his mouth, but her son's reaction was too extreme, which made her unable to step down.
Li Cuihua didn't care about being reserved, sneered, and threw her long braid to her chest: "Oh, I thought college students who came back from the city wouldn't be so petty! There are so many people waiting in line to marry me. My parents raised me like this." For a long time, what's the big deal about how much your family subsidizes?"
Zhang Yi received a four-year college education. He had never seen such a posture before, and his eyes immediately widened: "Gold worshiper! I don't want a wife, and I don't want you like this!"
"What is a gold digger? It shouldn't be a good word A cheapskate like you deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Li Cuihua jumped up and retorted eloquently.
"Gold Digger!"
"Stingy!"
The parents of both sides were dumbfounded, watching the two young men angrily annoy each other.
The matchmaker let out a long sigh. After working as a matchmaker for so long, the conversation sometimes fell apart, but she has never seen such a quarrel when they first met.
When Zhang Yi's mother brought her son home dejectedly, the aunt was rarely silent. Zhang Yi peeked at his mother, that old face was almost turning into an old loofah after autumn.
In the Chinese countryside in the 1980s, the unity within the village was very important, and this kind of unity even had a bit of quackery.
The most beautiful girl in Lizhuang was looked down upon by the "college students" in the neighboring village. Not only did she look down on her, but she was also given an ugly name.
Although everyone thinks that the woman's family accepting the bride price is a bit of a thing, but from the perspective of some women's parents, it is always uncomfortable to marry a daughter who has been raised for many years and marry them for nothing.
At that time, the ideological consciousness was uneven, and there were some enlightened families who had the final say on their children's affairs.
Zhang Yi's mother put out her old face and borrowed a lot of foreign debts. She scraped together 800 yuan and put it in front of her son tremblingly: "Baby, it's not easy for our peasant family to marry a daughter-in-law. Isn't it just money? I borrowed it, how about we propose another kiss?"
The son looked at his mother's withered face and hands like elm branches, his eyes were red, and he almost cried.
The mother and son did not expect that the matchmaker categorically refused to be a matchmaker for them. The other party smiled and lit a bag of dry cigarettes, and said with a smile: "This reputation, you don't cherish it yourself. After the incident was spread last time, which house in Lizhuang will go to the house?" My daughter is not willing to marry into your family anymore."
Zhang Yi stomped his feet resentfully, and said to his old lady: "Mom, you give back all the money! I get these dead wages, so no one looks down on us. It's okay, I'll go to the city to find someone else." A way out, don't worry about not finding a wife!"
When Zhang Yi's parents heard that their son was going to resign, they were like a thunderbolt. Although being a teacher in the countryside can't make a lot of money, there is always no problem with food and clothing, and the villagers respect their sons in every possible way.
However, the blind date dealt a huge blow to 25-year-old Zhang Yi. A rural girl who is three years older than him can't even look down on him!
When Zhang Yi packed up his bedding and planned to return to the city again, his parents reluctantly sent him to the entrance of the village.
Mother wiped away her tears: "Boy, if you want to earn a lot of money, Mother will not stop you. But if you can't make money, please remember to go home. There are still several acres of land at home!"
Father didn't speak, just kept smoking the dry pipe. Smoking while smoking.
Zhang Yi touched the 800 yuan on his chest, and said hesitantly: "Mother, the family already owes money, and the 800 yuan is borrowed. You should keep it for yourself."
Niang grabbed his hand and said in a trembling voice: "You are outside, no more than at home. You need money every time you move, so you can save some money. Our baby is also a college student, so I should be able to find a better job."
"If you can't find a job, come back quickly! We don't blame you!" Dad added.
With grief and indignation, Zhang Yi boarded the train back to the city again with a heavy heart. In order to save money, he bought a ticket for a slow train. green skinThe car swayed unhurriedly on the ground, and the noise in the car was like a pot of porridge.
"Big brother, which one is taller?" A middle-aged man next to him smiled and handed over a cigarette.
It hasn't been long since the reform and opening up, and there are not as many rules on the train as in the 21st century. Although some passengers are not used to the choking smell of cigarettes, few will accuse them to their face.
Zhang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then declined, "Thank you, I don't smoke."
Beside the middle-aged man was a big leather bag, stuffed with something bulging. He looked quite amiable, with a strong smile that couldn't be melted all the time.
"Hey, these days, how can there be a man who doesn't know how to smoke? Young man, you are still young, so you don't know the beauty of smoking! Smoking one in the morning will give you a lot of energy!" The old man turned his sneaky eyes back and forth. .
Really unable to refuse, Zhang Yi reluctantly took one, and the man immediately handed him a match, lit it and asked him to smoke.
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Zhang Yi smoked for the first time, and couldn't help coughing up tears. The smell was spicy and choking. I really didn't know what it was good for.
"Brother, where are you now? Young man, it's not easy to go out and wander around." The old man skillfully exhaled a smoke ring, and the female passenger on the opposite side frowned in distaste.
After all, Zhang Yi was young, so he responded unconsciously: "I haven't found a job yet!"
The old man's eyes lit up, he took out a paper business card from his pocket, and handed it to him: "What a coincidence, my company is short of people, and I'm here to recruit employees today, I didn't expect to meet him in the car." One."
Zhang Yi took the business card over suspiciously and looked at it, and it was impressively printed on it:
? Space Thunder Company
General Manager Cheng Tianlei
Telephone:¡¡
The name made Zhang Yilei so confused that he couldn't figure out what the company was doing. He asked in confusion: "Are you Cheng Tianlei?"
"That's right, I'm here! Our Tianlei company undertakes various businesses and is currently short of employees. A handsome young man like you is our first choice for recruitment!"
"How much is the monthly salary?" Zhang Yi finally asked the most interesting question.
Cheng Tianlei replied without thinking: "The starting salary is at least 800 yuan. If you do a good job, you can get a commission."
"It's so high!" Zhang Yi and the passengers around him cried out in surprise
Xiaosi listened to Zhang Yi's narration, and asked curiously: "Uncle, doesn't that sound good? How did you end up in this situation?"
The weather-beaten old man clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on his thigh. He said in a crying voice: "What Cheng Tianlei is that? What kind of boss is he? He is a man who runs a leather bag company and is a complete liar!"
"Ah?! Uncle, you didn't cheat him of the 800 yuan back then" Xiao Si looked at the other party sympathetically, with an ominous prediction in his heart.
Zhang Yi burst into tears: "The 800 yuan my mother gave me was all cheated by that dog thief! I hate him! I hate myself even more!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
