Lin Cong glared over and said angrily: "I don't like a job like a clerk!"
Cheng Tianfang lowered his head, feeling too tired to speak.
Over the past few days, she has matured a lot and seems to understand a lot. She used to be carefree, innocent and almost stupid, and she often talked to other people in a arrogant way.
But after being arrogantly arrogant by Lin Cong and being looked down upon by countless passers-by, she has calmed down a lot, and her heart and temper are not as angry as before.
Maybe she was too tired.
Working from morning to night, she was so tired that there was no place for her to feel comfortable. She was even more tired physically and mentally. She was so tired that she didn't want to say anything.
The water finally boiled, and she took a spoonful and drank.
Then, she washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook.
Lin Cong over there finally got out of bed, wrapped in a large military-colored cotton-padded jacket, and walked towards the big stove while smoking a cigarette.
"Baby, did you get your salary today? It's the end of the year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The boss will definitely settle your salary."
Cheng Tianfang ducked his eyes and said nothing.
She thought he just called her "baby" casually because he liked her, but it wasn't until she got along with him more that she realized what a fool she was.
This man is so sweet-talking that he approaches any young woman and casually blurts out "babe" or "beauty" - it's so shameful!
Lin Cong smiled and stretched out his hand towards her.
"Give me twenty yuan and I'll go out and buy a pack of cigarettes and some New Year's goods for the New Year."
"No!" Cheng Tianfang turned around and said, "I will buy new year's goods tomorrow, whether it's fish or meat. It's so late now, the market has long been closed."
Lin Cong put his arms around her shoulders and said with a smile: "But I have all my cigarettes! Baby, you are the most considerate, gentle, obedient and obedient little cutie in the world, how could you let me go without a cigarette? Right?"
"
Cheng Tianfang gritted her back molars and said in a deep voice: "No need to lie to me with sweet words. Every time you have money, you will gamble. If you win, you will continue to gamble. You will not come back until you don't have a dime in your pocket!"
Lin Cong twitched his eyes in embarrassment and smiled.
"Don't be so heartless! I want to gamble, isn't it just to win more money? Small money can win big money. When I have big money, I will buy you a fur coat and seafood to eat, okay?
good?"
"No!" Cheng Tianfang tightened his pockets and said angrily: "My salary is earned by my hard work! If you don't feel sorry for me, forget it because I'm tired, but you still shamelessly ask me for money every time - you
Excuse me?"
Lin Cong was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that this silly woman would be so stubborn and disobedient this time!
He glanced at her pocket and quickly broke into a smile.
"Baby, of course I know you have worked hard and you are tired. Although I don't say it with my mouth, I feel bad in my heart! Don't cover it up, I don't want any money. Let's have a meal first, and then boil some hot water to wash your feet. Let's meet tomorrow
Let’s go out together to buy new year’s goods. Do you think it’s okay?”
Cheng Tianfang nodded and continued to light the fire and cook.
Lin Cong glanced at her, turned around and walked away.
After the two of them had porridge, Cheng Tianfang went out to pick up two buckets of water, boiled a bucket of hot water, and the two of them soaked their feet together.
Lin Cong glanced at the old watch in his hand, squinted and said, "It's already past nine o'clock. Honey, are you tired too? Let's go to bed early."
Cheng Tianfang was tired all day, so she took off her clothes and went to bed, and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.
Lin Cong grinned happily as he listened to her low snoring.
…
Cheng Tianfang slept until about seven o'clock the next morning. She got up in confusion and looked at the only window - Tengdi was startled and got up in a hurry!
Just as she was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, she suddenly remembered that she didn't have to go to work today.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, fell back on the pillow, and stretched lazily.
This job was too important to her, so she worked diligently and was determined not to be late.
"Ah?! Where's Brother Cong?" Cheng Tianfang looked around suspiciously.
Usually when she gets up to go to work, he won't even open his eyes. Why did he suddenly get up so early today?
She couldn't help but touch the other side of the bed - it was cold and cold.
She slowly retracted her hand, sat up straight again, grabbed the big cotton-padded jacket in the corner, and hurriedly groped in each pocket.
One after another, each one was empty, and her heart gradually became cold.
Until the end, she remained motionless, hugging her big cotton-padded jacket, with tears falling down her cheeks.
She didn't know how she rushed out of the house, running through the streets and alleys, searching in panic like a crazy woman, until her feet were numb and stiff, and she returned to the door of the rented cabin in a state of despair.
It was already dark, and the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers could be heard in the distance, as well as the faint sounds of laughter and joy.
It turns out it's New Year's Eve...
Cheng Tianfang pushed open the house. The only small light on the roof was on, illuminating the inside of the house in darkness.
A human-shaped figure protruded from the quilt on the bed, and snoring could be heard one after another.
The room was freezing, there was no spark on the stove, and everything was cold and dark.
Cheng Tianfang rushed forward and tore open the torn quilt.
Lin Cong, who was sleeping in a daze, was soon woken up by the cold. He suddenly snatched back the quilt and hid in it.
"What are you doing?!"
Cheng Tianfang's eyes were dull and his voice was low: "Where is the money? Where is my money?"
Lin Cong was wrapped in quilt and pretended not to hear anything.
The room was very quiet, except for the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, which sounded abrupt and harsh.
Cheng Tianfang remained motionless, staring at him quietly, his eyes as cold as ice.
Lin Cong couldn't pretend anymore, swallowed secretly, and curled up in the quilt.
"Baby, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time but I can't wait for you..."
"Where's the money? Where did you steal my salary?" Cheng Tianfang asked in a deep voice.
Lin Cong laughed, hehe.
"I couldn't sleep last night and wanted to take a puff of cigarettes, so I took the money and went out to buy it. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, someone robbed me...all my money was robbed..."
Cheng Tianfang said coldly: "You went gambling again."
Lin Cong choked, swallowed his saliva, and then smiled softly.
"It's only thirty yuan, and it's all gone in less than two games. I also invited two friends to have a few drinks, and got some on credit at the pub. Honey, do you have any money around? The day after tomorrow at the pub
Open the door, I have to return the money."
Cheng Tianfang closed his eyes, slumped beside the bed, and sat on the cold ground, motionless.
Lin Cong wrapped himself in a quilt and yawned.
"I didn't sleep much last night. It was almost noon when I came back. I originally wanted to wait for you to come back and cook for me. I would go to bed after I was full. Who knew you weren't here, so I had to sleep first. Baby, I'm very hungry.
, go and get something for me to eat."
Unexpectedly, she didn't give him any reaction at all.
He became impatient and couldn't help shouting: "Did you hear me? I asked you to cook, why don't you go quickly! Isn't it just thirty yuan? As for leaving me cold like this?"
The people on the floor stood up slowly, turned around and walked to the big gauze bag in the corner, picked it up lightly and walked to the door.
"Lin Cong... starting from tonight, I will no longer know you."
