Life is a Game

The conversation outside the door continued, and the atmosphere eased a lot. Qin Guisheng, who was originally excited, found that he could not change Cao Guixiang's opinion and became powerless. He could only choose to respect Cao Guixiang's decision like Master Peng and Peng Changping.

Although he still felt that Cao Guixiang's decision was very stupid in his heart, and he wrote on his face that he thought Cao Guixiang's decision was very stupid.

"Have you made up your mind?" Qin Guisheng asked.

Cao Guixiang nodded.

"No regrets?" Cao Guixiang shook her head.

"Fart." Qin Guisheng snorted coldly, "You didn't go. If you did, it would be real suffering. It's hot in the south and there are many mosquitoes. There are no mosquito nets and insect repellents to bite you at night in summer." Die, it’s cold in winter and there’s no kang yet, I’ll see how you live in winter.”

"Don't think it's so easy to work in the field. Have you ever done farm work? Do you think it's the same as practicing cooking when you were a child? If you stay in the field for a day, I don't think you can straighten your waist. And your hand, don't wipe the glove Oil cream, I tell you it’s useless, if you go to the south for a few years, I guess your hands will be rougher than mine. You..."

Qin Guisheng babbled on a long list, confusing things, as if he used to be an educated youth who went to the countryside.

"Let me tell you, girls must protect themselves outside, and don't be taken advantage of by those hooligans, those who are skinny and shameless, fortunately you are not good-looking. Communication in the countryside is not convenient, if you want to send a letter You have to go to the town or ask someone to help, and no one will stand up for you if you are wronged, and if you want to cry alone at night, your roommate will think you disturb her sleep."

Cao Guixiang looked at Qin Guisheng and said, "Second Senior Brother, how many years has Sister Amin been away?"

"More than two years." Qin Guisheng muffled.

"Are you still communicating?"

"Nonsense, how do I know so much if I don't communicate?" Qin Guisheng glanced at Cao Guixiang angrily, and was immediately discouraged, "I sent a lot of letters in the first year, and this year only sent three letters. The envelope is less than two pages."

"Are you still waiting for her?" Cao Guixiang asked.

"Of course I'll wait!" Qin Guisheng turned up his voice, "You thought you were the only one who got married, but I also..."

As he was speaking, Qin Guisheng suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.

"I have no idea."

Peng Changping shook his head and left.

"I'm almost thirty, and Elder Brother already has two sons at my age. In a few years, Amin will be almost thirty, I don't know." Qin Guisheng could only shake his head, "I don't care about you, what do you like? how."

"I don't need to send you a letter?" Cao Guixiang smiled.

"How dare you!" Qin Guisheng threatened her with his eyes wide open, "I don't care what others do, Cao Guixiang, you have to write a letter every month, and if you don't have time, let Zhang Chu send it. He has been in Yonghe Jubai for the past few years. You should order him to eat and drink so many things for free, and if you have work, let him do it, don't tire yourself out."

"Also, I can't trust your parents. You have to ask them to make a written statement. You don't even have to go to the countryside to work. The one who benefits the most in the end is your brother. You must ask your parents and your brother to compensate you. What kind of wheat milk Essence, biscuits, sugar, and brown sugar, as well as cloth, have to be mailed to you every month, you give me the paperwork, if they don’t send it to you, I’ll go to the street office and borrow a loudspeaker to stand at your door and shout.”

Cao Guixiang couldn't hold back her laughter for a moment: "Second senior brother, what nonsense are you talking about? My house doesn't have many cloth tickets for a month, and I also return malted milk, biscuits and sugar. I can't eat much of these things now. Send it every month, don't make trouble."

"What's wrong with me? How much sacrifice did you make? The permanent workers in Yonghe Residence couldn't squeeze in because of their heads. Don't they just ask them to give some food and cloth? They should! You've all been sent to the countryside. , why your brother can still eat delicious food and wear new clothes in Beiping, he is not worthy, as long as he has a little conscience, he should stop you from going to the countryside by yourself instead of saying thank you sister hypocritically. You have given it to the family all these years The salary is enough to buy new clothes, biscuits and candy, and you don’t eat at home and spend the family’s money, so they should give it to you, even the principal and interest!" Qin Guisheng was serious.

Cao Guixiang just laughed, and didn't take Qin Guisheng's nonsense to heart: "Zhang Chu is coming to the store today to repair all the broken tables and chairs, and it's almost time for dinner. He probably hasn't eaten yet. I'll cook him a bowl of eggs." Noodles, when he comes, he can eat."

"If Manager Zhang comes back, second senior brother, tell him, the eggs will be deducted from my salary." Cao Guixiang said and left.

After Cao Guixiang left, Qin Guisheng gave a pee with a displeased face, and muttered: "Return the egg noodles, you heartless girl, I've told you so much here that you don't even pour me a glass of water. Even if that brat didn’t come, he still had egg noodles to eat.”

After speaking, Qin Guisheng went to pour the water by himself.

Jiang Feng returned to the utility room and found that Zhang Chu had quietly got down from the chair at some point, and was holding a bag of tools in a daze with a dignified expression. Half of the hammer in his arms ran out, which made Jiang Feng very worried that the hammer would hit Zhang Chu's foot in the next second and send him straight to the hospital.

Fortunately, tragedy did not happen.

Zhang Chufa was stunned for a while, as if he had thought clearly, he put the tools in his arms on the ground and began to organize the objects in the cabinet. Put everything in order according to size, type and function, in an orderly and orderly manner, and it takes more than half an hour to sort it out.

Zhang Chu didn't go out with the tools until all the things in the cabinet were sorted out, and walked to the lobby as if he had just arrived.

Cao Guixiang was standing in the lobby, judging from her appearance, she was probably waiting for Zhang Chu. Seeing Zhang Chu coming, Cao Guixiang rushed up to meet her, with a surprised expression on her face: "When did you come? Why didn't I see you when I was here all this time?"

"I've been here for a while, and I went to the utility room to find tools." Zhang Chu said vaguely.

"Oh." Cao Guixiang nodded, "You're hungry, I'll cook egg noodles for you. You haven't come here since I was afraid that the noodles would be cooked too early, so I never dared to cook them. You rest for a while and eat noodles before repairing the table. "

"Osmanthus." Zhang Chu seemed to muster up his courage, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh, by the way, I also have something to tell you. I handed in my resignation report today, and next month I will go to the countryside with you as an educated youth. I will report wherever you go." Cao Guixiang said, as if saying something It is such a trivial matter as how many scallions are put in today's noodles.

Zhang Chu moved his lips, and said with some difficulty: "You don't..."

"I'm not because I am, I'm because my brother is old enough to send educated youth to the countryside. If I don't go, he has to go. In fact, it's not just because of my brother. Isn't our store going to reduce the number of people? If I don't resign, Mr. Wang His son is definitely leaving. His son is not in good health, and if he fails to do so, he will have to go to the countryside next year. Master Wang is usually so kind to me, so I can’t just stand by and watch indifferently.”

"you……"

Cao Guixiang didn't give Zhang Chu a chance to speak at all, and continued: "Actually, it's not bad for me to decide to go to the countryside. We grew up learning crafts, and it's not that we can't bear hardships. You are a carpenter and I am a cook. There is food to eat. And I heard that there is enough food in the countryside, and you may be able to hunt wild rabbits and wild boars near the mountains. Every year, the pigs will be slaughtered and divided. My parents said that they will send things to me every month. I am here Beiping has to hand in my salary every month, if I become an educated youth and go to the countryside, not only do I not have to hand in my salary, but my parents will send me things, isn’t it much better than in Peiping?”

"Sit down first, I'll cook noodles for you, egg noodles!"

Zhang Chu didn't say a word after preparing for a long time.

Zhang Chu could only put the tools on the table temporarily and wait in the lobby. After a few minutes, Cao Guixiang came out with egg noodles.

A very simple bowl of egg noodles, hand-rolled noodles, the eggs are broken up and look so much, the noodles are colored with a little soy sauce, there is nothing but eggs and noodles, not even vegetables and green onions.

"Hurry up and eat it. It's delicious while it's hot. There's an egg lying on the bottom. I wanted to sprinkle some chopped green onion, but the second senior brother was so mean that he wouldn't let me take the chopped green onion. If he comes out later, you can avoid him and order it." , he is in a bad mood today, so he wants to get angry and quarrel with someone." Cao Guixiang put the noodles on the table and said with a smile.

Zhang Chu was silent and did not take his chopsticks.

"Eat quickly, it's not hot." Cao Guixiang urged.

"Guixiang, you should go to Manager Wang and get back the resignation report." Zhang Chu said, "We..."

Cao Guixiang straightened her face and looked at Zhang Chu: "Why do you want to take it back? I have already told my parents about it. If I want to regret it, they will be the first to disagree."

She never gave herself a way out from the beginning.

"you should not……"

"I don't regret it." Cao Guixiang said, suddenly smiled, "Let's eat noodles, don't talk about this. By the way, have you canceled the banquet at Shunhe Building before? If it's not convenient for you to go there now, I will go to Heshunhe Talk to Lou's boss. You paid a deposit, they can't take advantage of the fire and even refuse to refund the deposit."

Zhang Chu didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head, holding a large amount of chopstick noodles.

Jiang Feng clearly saw that when Zhang Chu picked up the noodles, a bean-sized tear fell on his face, like water dripping into a river, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared before.

Zhang Chu took a big mouthful of noodles and devoured them hungrily, as if he had a grudge against noodles.

"Eat slowly, and be careful of choking. Did you not eat today? How does it taste? I was a little anxious when I cooked it just now, maybe the taste is not very good."

"It's a bit salty." Zhang Chu said in a muffled voice.

The tears were so salty that he wanted to cry.

"Salty? Could it be that I put too much soy sauce? It shouldn't be..." Cao Guixiang's voice was full of confusion, and the expression on his face must also be confusion, but Jiang Feng couldn't see clearly.

The voice gradually faded, and Jiang Feng began to be shrouded in fog and couldn't see the two of them clearly, and couldn't see their faces clearly.

Jiang Feng left his memory.
