Chapter 34 9-2
At eight o'clock in the morning, when Du Siren passed the side door pedestrian street, there was still a big lock on the door of the boutique audio-visual store. The door of the small room was at the deepest part of the record racks. She stood outside the glass and couldn't see it at all. .She hung a bag of toast and sweet milk on the doorknob, her own figure was dimly reflected in the glass, and she straightened the white shirt that was a bit too formal.
Lin Zhique seemed to be teasing her, and suggested that she should be arranged by her father for an internship, but she just casually mentioned on the phone that her father had made contact all night and asked her to go to work the next day.
First an internship, then signing a temporary contract, and finally becoming a full-time employee. You will have a job for life. You can sit back and relax, and you can see the end of your life at a glance.
The unit is at the district level, very close to the school, just a few stops by bus. The small leader of the department is a former student of her father. He goes to work at 08:30 in the morning and leaves at 04:30 in the afternoon. Help leaders take pictures during big events.The department recently applied for funding and bought a new type of digital camera. The little leader demonstrated it to Du Siren, and the photo album was full of photos of his little daughter after a few slides.
Diagonally across from the department is the anti-pornography and anti-illegal office. The person in charge held a large teacup and said to the junior leader, "Hey, we are on a field trip with the police tonight. You send someone to take pictures. Let us also be published in the "People's Daily"...
Wearing a white shirt with a piercing collar, Du Siren sat for a whole day. Most of the time, he had nothing to do, but stared at the little leader in the office and another colleague, the eldest sister, and listened to the elder sister’s talk. Bad words about her husband.At the end of the lunch break, the eldest sister opened the tea pot and offered Du Siren a spoonful without refusing.
When Lu Xiaohua heard the news, she sent a text message saying: Is there a computer in the office?You help me hang the buckle, I'm about to have the sun.
Inhuman.
After getting off work, she flew back to school, plunged into the practice room, and danced for several hours.
Jumping to the shirt is wet, if it is not for the bottom shirt, it will reveal the shape of underwear.She had unbuttoned the top buttons of her shirt, which had been neatly buttoned all day, and there was a fine amount of sweat on her neck. Under the fluorescent lamp, the chain bones were even more clear due to the reflection of sweat.
Other people in the practice room came and went, and finally she was left alone. She looked in the mirror and began to dance some movements that she had made up. The music and her dance steps slammed on the wooden floor loudly.
The door behind her was suddenly opened.
Yang Qing walked in.
She stopped and didn't turn around, just looked at the mirror in front of her, the two of them were facing each other in the mirror without giving an inch.
Yang Qing looked away first.
"It's all gone, I thought I could see the progress."
The music played just at the end of a song, and the drum beat faded away.
Du Siren said: "Lu Shan's cousin went to Director Li's shop yesterday."
Yang Qing squinted his eyes, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Really? That man is a rascal."
"What about you? Teacher Yang. Do you feel guilty?"
His gaze and the corners of his mouth flicked down impatiently.
"I have persuaded her a long time ago, and the matter would not have come to this point. It is just that her letter of recommendation for work is cancelled, and her degree certificate is still taken. I know that she wants to go to the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, but if she can't, it means that there is no other way out. , if it wasn't for her refusing to succumb, and making the leader not step down in front of her..."
"Where is Director Li? Do you feel guilty towards Director Li?"
A trace of puzzlement flashed in Yang Qing's eyes.
"Old Li? That was purely accidental, and I didn't push him."
People who are spoiled by love are always unconscious.
Their conversation was interrupted by the third person who walked into the classroom. The hands of the clock on the wall were approaching nine o'clock in the evening, and Xu Wenjing walked in.
Yang Qing immediately put on an air of being a teacher, saying that you should remember to turn off the lights when you leave, and the tape recorder will still be in the office tomorrow.Then he turned around and hurried away.
Xu Wenjing was wearing a plain long dress that matched her name very well, with a small bow on her chest and very delicate makeup.She said: "I think this is the only room left on the whole floor where there are still people. You dance your way, and I will recite the lines for a while."
She sat down by the mirror, holding the script book on her knees, with a preoccupied look.
"It's so late, why did you come here alone to recite the lines?"
"Well, just got back."
Xu Wenjing was unhappy.
Du Siren squatted down, was at eye level with Xu Wenjing, and stopped the recorder.
"Where have you been? You look so nice."
Xu Wenjing put down her script book, looked at Du Siren, and sighed heavily.
"What about you? Dressed like this, it's almost the same as what I wore when I went to an interview with the teaching editor."
Depressed, Du Si simply sat down too.
She told Xu Wenjing about her father's job arrangement for her, and complained along the way.
Xu Wenjing finally told her after listening, "Actually, I'm going on a blind date tonight."
Following the arrangement of her family, she met a man who was nearly 30 years old and "successful in his career".
Du Siren was surprised: "Huh? But you haven't graduated yet."
"Well, according to what they said, we should get married first, graduate, and have a stable job. After we get married, we can have a baby within two years, have a good job, a good family, and have nothing to worry about for the rest of our lives. According to what my mother said , even if she dies immediately, she will die in peace. Bah, bah, bah."
"Then... what do you think of the other party?"
"Hmm..." Xu Wenjing thought about it, "It's not bad, it looks...although it's not handsome, but it's more pleasing to the eye, and it's a nice person, quite funny."
"Then you and him are dating?"
"No? I don't know. Let's get along first. However, he said that he was going to get married, and he also said that he asked me to go to a concert a few days ago, which is your concert."
"Really? Then you remember to take a picture of me."
Xu Wenjing smiled, "Well, I introduced you to him and said that this is the little hip-hop queen of our school."
The two talked a few words and laughed, and Du Si lay down on the wooden floor, looked at the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, and sang softly: Stand in front of Daiwan, carefully look at my way, and then go to the next station, to Tianhou, of course the last good.
Xu Wenjing answered: Even if there is a singing one day, who wants to sing, he can't come to the scene, it still seems like a waste of time.
She said: "What about you? Missing people. Why don't you fall in love? Don't you have someone you like?"
Du Siren replied with a smile, "Yes."
Very calm.
"Who? Do I recognize him?"
Xu Wenjing leaned forward with great concern.
"Just a...very, very good person. Good-looking, beautifully written, brave and righteous, sometimes looks cold, but her heart is warm. Do you know anyone like this? ? She's cute even when she's drunk."
"Sounds like the cold-faced hero in those romance novels. Did he graduate? What does he do?"
"Uh...is it the retail industry?"
Du Si thought for a while.She only knew that Lin Zhique was now a clerk in a video store. As for what she used to do in East China, she didn't know.
"Then which school did he graduate from? Undergraduate?"
"I do not know."
"Why don't you know? Don't you like others?"
She knew nothing about Lin Zhique's past.
Xu Wenjing went on to talk to her and said, "Then you should know what's going on in the other party's family, right? What do the brothers and sisters and parents do..."
Du Siren shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either."
Xu Wenjing raised her forehead, "Then what do you know?"
"I know she likes to eat sweets. I also know that she sometimes has migraines." She thought, "But I don't know what songs she likes to listen to. I have to ask her. And who she likes to watch Movie."
She spoke plainly and frankly.
"These are not the key points. The other party doesn't even know where he came from, so you like him?"
"Then she didn't tell me. I'll know when she tells me."
"Why don't you ask? You just want to ask something unimportant."
"What doesn't matter? Isn't what she likes more important than who her parents are?"
Xu Wenjing pondered, "Well, it's not unreasonable. But in the future, what should we do if we want to get married? Two people have to live a lifetime. In addition to hobbies, class, vision, and way of thinking must also be considered, and marriage is a matter for two families. Parents will also be your parents in the future, how can it be unimportant?"
Among the peers around her, Xu Wenjing always appears to be more mature than them.
Dusi looked at the fluorescent lamp, and there was a small moth around the lamp tube.
get married...
She asked stupidly: "Then why not get married?"
"Aren't you married? How can anyone date you for a lifetime of love? If you don't get married, they will marry someone else."
She didn't think about what the future would hold, and she never asked Lin Zhique, what her plans were in the future, and whether she would return to East China.Who will Lin Zhique marry in the future?
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly ached.
The little moth bumped into the light tube, seemed to be stunned, and fell in a circle.
She almost stretched out her hand to catch it in the air, but it flapped its wings suddenly, and flew upward again, flying towards the light.
They walked back to the dormitory and chatted all the way. Xu Wenjing seemed to have drawn the whole blueprint for her future. Her job and objects were all her parents liked. She seemed to agree with this choice and did not object to it.
She never mentioned Zhao Qian at all.
She bypassed him, like the only scar on her heart, bypassed the thoughts she remembered when she walked alone to the teaching building after the blind date, and walked calmly towards the future she had chosen.
Du Siren admired Xu Wenjing very much in his heart, even though she was completely different from him and made a choice that he might never make.
Lu Xiaohua would sometimes sneer at Xu Wenjing, saying that she is a good girl, too boring, not cool at all, this new era advocates deviant, love to death.
Dusi people don't think so.
Having the courage to make decisions about the future, in her opinion, is cool in itself.
She didn't see Lin Zhique all day.
It was as if they hadn't seen her for a whole day for the first time since they knew each other.
It was also the first time since they met that she realized that she didn't know Lin Zhique at all.
It also seemed that the more she knew her, the less she knew her.
She took a shower and lay on the narrow bed in the dormitory. Looking at the time, the store should have been closed.She wanted to make a phone call, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't make a call.The straight white shirt was wrinkled by her and soaked in the washbasin. She was too tired to wash it, so she put it on the laundry table in the bathroom.Her life was suddenly full of many things, and she was not allowed to slow down and stare blankly at the fork in the road.
The tea leaves from the elder sister in the department lost their effectiveness. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Until early in the morning, Lu Xiaohua's call woke her up.
Lu Xiaohua cried on the other end, out of breath with anxiety: "Siren, something happened to my mother, something happened to Akko, I'm going to the police station."
