"Mom, we have already paid her back the money. We also left her to eat last time and brought her rice dumplings today. There is no need to do anything else."
"How can you say that? The help Xia Yu gave me was more than just twenty yuan. Besides, I like this child and want to recognize her as my daughter."
"Mom, it's not enough for you to treat your neighbor's daughter like your own daughter. You also have to recognize a daughter from out of town. Do you think your son is not good enough?"
"You brat, I didn't say that. You are the best son in the world, but I really want to have a daughter. When I ran a kindergarten in the past, I really liked those little girls. I combed their hair and put them in pigtails every day. Now,
She has grown into a big girl, and she calls me Auntie Lan affectionately when we meet her, which makes me very happy. I especially like Xia Yu, and I will go to a fast food restaurant to ask her to come for dinner tomorrow."
"Mom, you just meet someone by chance. How much can you understand about someone and give them your heart?"
"What do you mean, you don't believe Xia Yu, just because she is willing to help me——"
"Mom, it's not that I don't believe in Xia Yu. We believe in others, but they may not believe in us."
"You mean your mother is a bad person?"
"What? Mom, think about it for me. Society is so complicated now. A girl working outside will definitely be cautious. We are not related to each other, so why are we so close?
"
"What you say makes sense, but I always feel that getting along with others is not so complicated."
"Mom, you think everyone is as straight as you. I am also influenced by you. People always say that I am simple-minded."
"You mean your mother has no brains."
"Mom, how can I make such delicious food without my brain? My mother is the smartest and most capable person. Eat, eat, I'm hungry."
The mother and son had lunch and did not mention Xia Yu again, but Aunt Lan still remembered Xia Yu.
In order to invigorate the employees' spare time life, and also to promote the bowling alley, Lai Lai Company held a bowling competition for all employees. Sign up voluntarily. The top three will be determined and given cash rewards of 3,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, and 1,000 yuan respectively.
.
Bowling is Xia Yu's strong point. When she was in high school, Xia Yu went bowling with her sister and brother-in-law for the first time. She fell in love with this sport right away. When she was in college, Guo Ruiqiang pursued Xia Yu.
Okay, I often invite Xia Yu to play bowling. Xia Yu’s skills are quite good.
There are hundreds of employees who come to the company, but most of them have never been exposed to bowling, a relatively expensive sport, so there are not many people who sign up. This is what Hua Qianhong has thought of long ago, otherwise the cost will be too high.
Xia Yu also thought of this, so she was very confident in herself and happily signed up. Xiao Zhang also signed up, but she said that she only played with others once, so she just joined in the fun.
Xia Yu returned to the dormitory and told Dongmei that she was going to participate in a bowling match and hoped that if they had time, they would go and cheer her up. Dongmei had only seen bowling matches on TV. She asked Xia Yu: "Can you bowl?"
Xia Yu said: "It turns out that I fought well before."
"It seems quite expensive to fight, right? Aren't you?" Dongmei was a little confused.
Xia Yu felt that Dongmei was so kind to her, but she hid a lot of things from her, and she felt very sorry. She said: "Dongmei, I didn't tell you some things in the past. I have my own reasons. I really don't want to talk about it, but since we
From the beginning of our acquaintance, I haven’t hidden anything from you. We are good friends, right?”
Dongmei nodded, and Xia Yu said, "If I can get the bonus, I'll treat everyone to dinner."
"Okay, we will definitely go and cheer you on when the time comes."
The competition lasted three days. Dongmei and the girls from the fast food restaurant would watch Xia Yu's competition when they had time. Hua Qianhong had been sitting in the audience watching the game, and Wen Xuehui was also sitting in a corner watching Xia Yu.
In Yu's game, he didn't expect Xia Yu's bowling to be so professional.
The competition was divided into two groups, the employees of the bowling alley were group A, and the employees of shopping malls and fast food restaurants were group B. Xia Yu won the championship of group B and the runner-up in the finals. When Hua Qianhong presented the award to Xia Yu, she said kindly: "
Little girl, you played well." Then she hugged Xia Yu. Xia Yu smelled the faint smell of perfume on her body, which was the same as the perfume in Wen Xuehui's car. Then she thought of Wen Xuehui, why didn't she see him?
Participating in the game, was he watching the game? She did not find Wen Xuehui in the bustling crowd.
After the awards were given, the girls ran over to congratulate Xia Yu and asked where to go to eat. At this time, a boy came over and said, "Are you Xia Yu? Mr. Hua will let you pass." Xia Yu asked the girls to wait for her for a while.
, she went with that boy.
Hua Qianhong's office is very large, with a large desk, a high-back boss chair, where Hua Qianhong is sitting, a large bookcase, and...
"Are you in a shopping mall or a fast food restaurant?" Hua Qianhong asked before Xia Yu could finish looking around the office.
Xia Yu quickly turned her eyes to Hua Qianhong and replied, "Working as a waiter in a fast food restaurant."
"You're really good at bowling. When did you start playing?" Hua Qianhong spoke very gently, not as harshly as the legend said.
"When I was in high school."
"Would you like to work in the bowling alley?"
Xia Yu replied without hesitation: "Yes, of course I do."
"Okay then, come to work tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Hua."
Xia Yu came out of Hua Qianhong's office and told the girls that she was coming to work in the arena. Everyone cheered and went to a small restaurant to have a meal together.
The next day, Xia Yu came to work in the arena, still as a waiter. Lai Lai Bowling Alley is the largest and highest-end arena in the city. Most of its customers are rich and well-established high-level people, and occasionally they have salary.
Class, or men and women in love, boys are very willing to spend money when chasing girls, just like when Guo Ruiqiang chased Xia Yu, the bowling alley they went to, although the environment and service were not as good as Lai Lai Arena, but every time
He also spent a lot of money every time. Guo Ruiqiang said, money is nothing. The most important thing in my heart is that you are happy. But now——, Xia Yu tried hard not to let herself think of the past. She must cherish her current job. Come on! Work hard.
!
One day, when Xia Yu got off work in the evening, she met Wen Xuehui at the door. Wen Xuehui said, "Why are you here?"
Xia Yu said: "I work here."
Wen Xuehui said: "You have been transferred to the arena. When did you come?"
"It's been almost a month."
"Why haven't I met you?"
"We work shifts, and it's hard to say when we get off work."
"You played really well in the last game."
"Did you watch it? Did you participate?"
"I didn't participate. My level is too low. I've been watching you compete."
"Why didn't you drive? Walk home?"
"Normally, cars are not allowed to drive home. Sister Hong usually drives to and from work. I only drive during working hours. When I go to and from get off work, I usually walk and can exercise. What about you? Do you also walk?"
"Yes, exercise." Xia Yu actually had no other means of transportation.
"Where do you live?"
"Hengjin Textile Factory."
"Then let's go together and I can deliver you to your door."
The two of them walked along and talked a lot. When they passed by the fast food restaurant, it was still brightly lit. Xia Yu saw Xiao Zhang's busy figure from a distance. She felt very friendly. Thinking about it, she also knew a lot of people in this city.
Ren, Dongmei, Huiling, the girls in the same dormitory, the girls from the fast food restaurant, and her current colleagues in the arena, they all helped her, gave her friendship, and gave her happiness. Xia Yu was very grateful.
They, she no longer only has hatred in her heart, but also gratitude.
Wen Xuehui returned home and told his mother that Xia Yu was transferred to the arena. Aunt Lan was very happy and said: "Really, I think she and I are destined. This time you are serious colleagues. Let her come to our house for dinner."
"Who says colleagues have to come to our house for dinner?"
"I don't care, I'll go find her tomorrow."
"Mom, they are working. Don't go to work to disturb them."
"Then I'll go to where she lives. You can ask me when she's free and where she lives. I'll go find her."
"What kind of magic does this Xia Yu have? My mother seems to follow her path."
"What are you talking about? Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Aunt Lan and Wen Qingyuan have always had a very good relationship. After Wen Qingyuan passed away, Aunt Lan never thought about remarrying. It was just that there was one less person in the family, so it was inevitable that she would feel deserted. Whenever relatives and friends came, she would warmly entertain them. Aunt Lan was very fond of
The neighbors are very welcoming, especially the one she looks up to
She felt that these children were like her own children. After meeting Xia Yu, she felt that Xia Yu was even more like her own child. Last time Xia Yu made dumplings at home, she felt that Xia Yu seemed to be her own family.
, I really hope Xia Yu can stay in this home like that.
On Sunday morning, Xia Yu was squatting outside the dormitory washing clothes. A girl in the same dormitory said, Xia Yu, someone is looking for you. Xia Yu was very surprised who would be looking for her?
"Xia Yu" Aunt Lan stood in front of Xia Yu.
"Aunt Lan, why are you here?" Xia Yu hurriedly wiped her hands and wondered whether she should let Aunt Lan sit in the shabby and messy dormitory. Out of politeness, she still said: "Aunt Lan, please come in and sit.
."
Aunt Lan entered the dormitory. The dormitory was damp and dark. The beds were crowded together. There were wash basins, rice basins, and cardboard boxes everywhere on the floor. Today was Sunday. There were a few girls resting and washing clothes. There were messes on the beds.
Asking for a change of clothes, Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed and said, "Look, it's a mess. This is my bed. You sit down."
Xia Yu's bed was clean. Aunt Lan sat on the edge of the bed and said distressedly: "Xia Yu, how can you live here? The humidity in this room will make you sick."
Xia Yu said: "It's okay, don't everyone live here?"
Aunt Lan said: "No, come home with me."
Xia Yu smiled, what the hell, this Aunt Lan is too straightforward. Xia Yu said: "No, really no, I'm fine here. By the way, how did you find this place? What's the matter?"
Is it something?"
Aunt Lan said: "Xuehui said you would take a half-day off this morning. I want you to go home and have a meal. Come on, let's leave now."
Xia Yu said: "No, Aunt Lan, this is so embarrassing."
Xia Yu repeatedly declined, but Aunt Lan insisted on letting Xia Yu go. It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Xia Yu had no choice but to agree. Aunt Lan helped Xia Yu dry the clothes, and the two of them left together.
Aunt Lan made a sumptuous lunch, four dishes and one soup, some meat and some vegetarian, some cold and some hot, braised fish, braised pork ribs, braised cabbage heart with mushrooms, cold salad with shredded bamboo shoots, spinach and meatball soup. This has been going on for more than half a year, Xia Yu
The most delicious and delicious meal ever.
After lunch, Xia Yu and Wen Xuehui went to work together. The sycamore trees on Zhonghua Road were already covered with green shade. Wen Xuehui said: "I like this street the most in this city, especially when the sycamore trees bloom in spring."
Season, I really like the lavender sycamore flowers on the trees.”
Xia Yu said: "I also liked Wutong flower in the past, but it didn't have a glamorous appearance or a strong floral fragrance. It was so simple, so plain, as simple as our lives, as plain as our lives. Such a simple life is in
They are worthless in the hearts of others." Xia Yu unconsciously revealed her inner sadness.
Wen Xuehui was surprised and said, "Why do you think so?"
Xia Yu didn't know how she could reveal her true feelings in front of Wen Xuehui. She hurriedly covered it up and said: "It's nothing, I just talked about it."
Wen Xuehui said: "I also like sycamore flowers, but I am different from you. When the sycamore flowers bloom, they are densely packed, lively and full of vitality, signaling the coming of spring. Although they do not have a coquettish appearance or rich fragrance,
It smells like flowers, but it can still make the whole street so beautiful. As long as it exists, simple life can still live wonderfully."
Xia Yu didn't want to say anything else. If others can live a wonderful life, they may not be able to live a wonderful life. In the same world, different people live different lives. The same sycamore flowers bloom, and different human bodies experience different feelings.
When she walked to the door of the company, she met Hua Qianhong. Xia Yu said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Hua." Wen Xuehui said, "Hello, Sister Hong."
Hua Qianhong looked very kind and said: "Why are you two together?"
Xia Yu answered first: "We met on the road." Wen Xuehui didn't understand why Xia Yu lied, and even Xia Yu didn't know what she was trying to hide. It was just an intuition, an instinct that made her feel that she couldn't tell the truth about her relationship with
What is the relationship between her and Wen Xuehui? It doesn’t matter, so what is there to cover up? Who knows.
In the evening, after dinner, Aunt Lan mentioned to Wen Xuehui that Xia Yu should move to her home. Wen Xuehui's reaction was the same as Xia Yu's. What's wrong with this? Aunt Lan said: "You haven't seen me, Xia Yu."
The shabby house where Yu lives is wet and humid, and it will make her sick. This child is living such a hard life, and yet she is willing to help me, so I must help her."
Wen Xuehui said: "Mom, I don't object to you helping her, but you can't just come to live with me. Do you agree? Why would a girl move to a stranger's house?"
Aunt Lan said: "Am I a stranger to her?"
Wen Xuehui said: "So far, my friendship with you has only been over two meals."
"But I feel like we are like a family."
"That's how you feel. Do you know how others feel?"
"Why do you always oppose my approach to Xia Yu? Don't you like her?"
"I didn't say I didn't like her. Well, I won't tell you anymore. Let's watch TV. Your favorite TV series is about to start." What Aunt Lan said was just an ordinary liking, but Wen Xuehui's heart skipped a beat.
, does he like Xia Yu? It was the first time he met
Xia Yu was slapped by Xia Yu for no reason, but he didn't get too angry. Later, Xia Yu met her mother again, and her mother still liked her so much. Later, Xia Yu was transferred to work in the arena, and they became colleagues.
Is everything a coincidence or fate? Who knows.
forty
Xia Yu did not move to Aunt Lan's house. She and Wen Xuehui occasionally met each other on their way to and from get off work. They chatted without a word along the way. The days passed in the ordinary work and life. .
Juanzi has a first-class figure and a pretty face. She wants to catch a wealthy and handsome Wang Laowu in the gym. One day, a new guest comes to the gym. He has a delicate face and a gentle temperament. He is exactly Juanzi's ideal Wang Laowu.
, but this guest belongs to Xia Yu. Juanzi pulled Xia Yu over and said:
"Hey, hey, hey, my Wang Laowu is here, I'm here to help you entertain this guest." Xia Yu said, "No, he ordered my fairway, we can't work together." Juanzi
Those who bowed and bowed before Xia Yu agreed, rushed to greet the guests.
Juanzi brought tea, poured water and handed towels, and took good care of Wang Laowu. Wang Laowu was also very polite to Juanzi. Juanzi got a little carried away, looked at Wang Laowu affectionately, and accidentally spilled the tea on
Juanzi panicked and quickly wiped it with a tissue. Wang Laowu became anxious and said, "Hey, what did you do? You were so careless. I was in a bad mood today. I wanted to come here."
play ball
"Let's relax, are you deliberately angry with me?" Juanzi apologized hurriedly. It happened that Hua Qianhong and Wen Xuehui came back from outside. When they heard the noise, they came over to take a look. Hua Qianhong understood the situation and said to the guests.
After the guest left, Hua Qianhong fined Juanzi on the spot for her service error, and then asked seriously: "Is this your fairway?"
Juanzi whispered: "No."
"Whose fairway is it?" Hua Qianhong knew very well that this was Xia Yu's fairway. When she asked Xia Yu to work in the arena, firstly, Xia Yu played well and she liked it very much. Secondly, she was the waiter of the fairway in Area A.
Just after changing jobs, she arranged for Xia Yu to be the waiter at the fairway in Area A.
"It's mine." Xia Yu said.
Hua Qianhong said: "Aren't you on duty when the guests come?"
Xia Yu didn't say anything. Juanzi had just been fined. She didn't want her to be punished again. Besides, she also had responsibilities, so she didn't want to shirk her responsibility. Hua Qianhong said sternly: "During the working period of the arena, it is stipulated that you cannot leave work or skip work."
, do you know?”
"Know."
"I'm going to deduct your——"
"Wait a minute," Juanzi said, "Mr. Hua, Xia Yu didn't take off her post. It was me who took her post."
"Why do you want to take her job?"
"I--"
Xia Yu said: "Mr. Hua, no matter why, she took my job and I didn't stop her. It's my fault. If something happens to my fairway, I will definitely take responsibility."
Hua Qianhong said: "Okay, whoever owns the fairway is responsible for it. Your bonus for this month is gone. If there is another time, you will resign automatically."
When getting off work, Xia Yu met Wen Xuehui at the door. Xia Yu said, "What a coincidence?"
Wen Xuehui said: "No, I waited for you specially."
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I just think that you are very admirable today. No wonder my mother is like you."
Xia Yu smiled, and the two of them walked together. When they walked to the Lailai fast food restaurant, Wen Xuehui said, "Can I treat you to dinner?"
Xia Yu said: "No need."
"Your bonus for this month is gone. I'll treat you to dinner as compensation."
"Why do I need you to compensate me? It's not like you deducted my bonus."
"Then think of it as, I am touched by your chivalrous spirit, and as a hero, let me treat you to a meal."
"It's really not necessary."
While the two were talking, Xiao Liu rushed out of the fast food restaurant and said in rapid succession: "Xia Yu, Xia Yu, you two are really together. I saw you from a distance. You have a boyfriend, so...
He ignored us and never came to see us. Handsome man, why don’t you come in and have a meal?”
Xia Yu said: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Everyone misses you, come in quickly." Xiao Liu pulled Xia Yu and left. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang greeted the guests through the glass window, peeked out secretly, and quietly waved to Xia Yu. Xia Yu had no choice but to Wen Xuehui naturally followed her when she went in to sit down. Xia Yu often came to see these girls on her way to and from get off work, but with Wen Xuehui following her, she was really afraid of them making a fuss.
The girls chose a window seat for Xia Yu and ordered two side dishes on their own initiative, one fried chicken wings and two bowls of beef noodles. These were all things Xia Yu said she liked to eat, and the girls actually remembered them.
Yes, Xia Yu was very grateful. Wen Xuehui said: "Why don't we order a few more dishes and let's sit down and eat together." The girls said: "You don't dare during working hours. You want us to make mistakes."
Someday you invite us to eat at another restaurant, we will definitely go." "You must invite us, girls have to go through the test of being friends when they fall in love." "Yes, if you can't pass our test, you
Don't even think about falling in love with our Xia Yu."
The girls chatted for a while and then went to do their own business. Wen Xuehui felt in a daze that he had really become Xia Yu's boyfriend. Xia Yu said: "They are just making noises, don't mind." Wen Xuehui came back to his senses.
Say: "Nothing."
For the first time, Xia Yu sat in a Lai Lai fast food restaurant as a customer to eat, looking out the window at the familiar street scene. In the blink of an eye, she had been in this city for ten months. Why did she end up here? What will happen to her in the future?
How is it?
"What are you thinking about? Let's have something to eat." Wen Xuehui said.
"nothing."
"Sister Hong deducted your bonus today, do you blame her?"
"No, if she wants to manage such a large company, of course she must have rules and systems, rewards and punishments. This is normal."
"You really think about others all the time. I really admire you more and more."
"Don't be ridiculous. In fact, everyone has their own responsibilities, and they must bear what they should bear. I hate those irresponsible people the most." Xia Yu thought of the past again, and she was a little distracted.
"Are you worried about anything?"
"Oh, no." In order not to remind herself of the past, Xia Yu chatted with Wen Xuehui about the company.
