I have known Dou Sprout Zai for so long, and he has never treated me to a meal. Whenever he goes out to eat, either I pay for it or Xiaoxuan pays for it. The only big money he spent was buying himself two bottles of wolfberry that time.
Wang Jiu, I don’t know how much money he has saved. Anyway, I know a little bit. He is the richest among us.
That night, Little Chicken Feet asked me to meet at her place. Zhenghong and I also wanted to ask her something, so I went.
We live in Building 4, and the landlord’s family in Taoyuan Community lives in Building 5. The landlord and I bought his motorcycle for less than a thousand yuan. It was a blue second-hand Suzuki King.
I was thinking of riding back and forth when I usually buy groceries and meat.
The location is a noodle shop.
When we saw the person, she had already taken off her security uniform and changed into casual clothes, wearing cotton slippers and jeans. We ordered food, and ordered some shredded potatoes and fried peanuts. After drinking two or three bottles of beer, she felt a little flushed. Suddenly
He lowered his head and wiped his tears.
I threw a peanut into my mouth and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I just lost my job as a security guard. Why are you hanging around on the street like this? I'm just looking for a job."
We were the only ones at the table in the noodle shop that night. Perhaps the little girl had been depressed for too long and wanted to find someone to talk to. She wiped her eyes and talked about her current predicament.
In this world, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Even though she talks about everything, in fact she is just an ordinary girl, and she is in a different world from the real criminals like us.
Here's the thing.
Isn't her mother an old lady? She was hospitalized three months ago. She was diagnosed with skin cancer at the hospital, which was in the late stage of metastasis and basically incurable. In order to make up for the medical expenses owed to the hospital, she gave up her life.
The stall in the poultry market was sold to others, and then he went to work as a security guard in the Yugang Security Section.
"How is your mother now?" I asked, pushing the napkin over.
"Just like that, I'm dragging it at home. The hospital said there's little point in spending money on treatment. If I'm lucky, I can live for seven or eight months. If it can't be cured, my aunt will take care of me at home."
"Why....."
I sighed and didn't know what to say. Her mother was not a good person and always lied to others. I don't know if it was retribution that she ended up like this.
"Don't eat, I'm full."
She put down her chopsticks and shouted, "Boss, pay."
The boss came out of the kitchen wiping his hands and said, "26 yuan."
"Remember it for me first, and I'll give it to you at the end of the month."
"It's on credit again. You haven't paid me the payment from last month."
I took out my wallet and prepared to give some money, but the little chicken-footed woman saw this and refused to let me give it.
"What are you afraid of? I can still run away. Remember, I will give you the salary in two days. Come on, I will come to eat fried pancakes tomorrow night."
I rode a motorcycle back to her place where she lived. She lived in an old machine repair shop. There were no street lights there, and they were all short red brick houses, more than ten square meters in size. The rent was 60 yuan a month.
When going downhill, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but she kept rubbing against me.
The old janitor at the machine repair shop turned off the lights and went to bed around nine o'clock.
"Turn left from the small square in front, and that's the house next to the jujube tree."
When I got to the place, I put out the fire.
I looked around and said, "You have no lights, it's so dark."
She took out the key from her pocket and said that no one lived here anymore. They had all moved out and were no longer home, so of course no one turned on the lights.
"Creak..." She opened the door.
"The food we just ate was a bit salty. Come in and have a drink of water."
I twisted the key and said, "It's not salty, it's okay. I won't drink any more water."
"Were you not full just now? I have instant noodles in the house. Let's cook two packs."
I kicked the motorcycle and turned the front of the car around.
"I'm not hungry. It's not good to eat instant noodles at night. You can eat it yourself."
"Bye, let's go." I turned around and left on my bike.
As I was about to turn the corner, I looked back.
Machine repair shop at night.
The little chicken-footed woman leaned against the door and kept looking at me.
