Jiang Xiaozhen adapted to college life faster than He Yu imagined.
Teaching building, dormitory building, library, self-study room, etc. He Yu led her around and she knew it; he took her to eat at a few small restaurants with good quality and low price, which became Jiang Xiaozhen's new cafeteria; The commodity street that was once used to become the place where she buys clothes and daily necessities.
On the day when she came to report to school, Jiang Xiaozhen talked with He Yu, she planned to work part-time after school, and the living expenses would not be taken care of by the family. One week after school started, when he called her, Jiang Xiaozhen told He Yu that she had found a job.
Many work units that need temporary workers like to recruit college students. Not only is it cheap to hire college students, but the young people are at their best age, fresh and beautiful.
Jiang Xiaozhen herself does not have much connection with the word "good-looking". But her job is extremely rare, Jiang Xiaozhen's appearance conditions are very satisfactory.
"Help distribute leaflets in the amusement park, do you have to dress up in line with the theme of the park?" He Yu frowned upon hearing these words in her words.
It's the kind of job that sounds exhausting.
Sometimes it is a doll costume, sometimes it is a special large-scale makeup. Jiang Xiaozhen stands in a place with a lot of traffic, trying to attract everyone's attention as much as possible. Leaflets are distributed regularly and quantitatively every day, and the work is over when the distribution is completed.
"Distributing leaflets is actually quite good. Our working hours are very flexible," Jiang Xiaozhen herself is very satisfied with this job: "Besides, attracting the attention of others is my strong point."
He Yu saw through her trying to show off her abilities: "With a special dress, you have to stand for a long time, and it will be very hard."
Jiang Xiaozhen didn't care: "It takes hard work to make money."
He continued to hit her: "Strangers show you impatience without hesitation, keep rejecting you..."
Jiang Xiaozhen remained unmoved: "It's also my strong point to get over rejection in the face of rejection."
She brought up her past experience, and joked with a smile: "Did I practice well in high school?"
Jiang Xiaozhen made up her mind, she told He Yu that she was just letting him know.
He Yu wanted to help her, but their family had already helped them too much - they borrowed money from Jiang's family and didn't rush to pay it back; after Xu Meiyin learned the art of cosmetology, He Yu's mother separated an area in the clothing store for the Xu Meiyin does business there and does not charge her rent.
The more he wants to lend a helping hand, the more he interferes with her and opposes her, it will hurt Jiang Xiaozhen's self-esteem.
He Yu asked Jiang Xiaozhen where she was distributing leaflets, and she vaguely replied, "The place is different every day, so it's useless for you to ask."
So he knew that she didn't want to see him when she was working.
As Jiang Xiaozhen hoped, she didn't meet He Yu once when she distributed the flyers. But after she gets off work, she often runs into him in small restaurants.
He Yu, who has always been popular, always has his companions by his side when he goes out to eat.
As for Jiang Xiaozhen, she was always alone, sitting in the far corner of the restaurant.
The dormitory has access control time, so you have to finish eating and go back before the door closes. If she got off work late and she didn't have time to remove makeup, change clothes, and return props, she would look weird.
He Yu has seen Jiang Xiaozhen dressed as a female ghost, Jiang Xiaozhen in fitness clothes, and Jiang Xiaozhen with big wings on the seat; she has seen her wearing colorful wigs, fake cockscombs on her head, and exaggerated soaring braids. The most exaggerated time, he saw her face painted blue.
The amusement park distributes different leaflets according to different festivals and activities. The time Jiang Xiaozhen painted blue, the amusement park had a theme of Smurfs.
No matter how weird Jiang Xiaozhen looked, every time He Yu met her, he would take the initiative to say hello to her.
No matter whether Jiang Xiaozhen was wolfing down or waiting for her meal, when she heard that familiar voice calling her, she would immediately stop what she was doing, turn around, and give him a serious smile.
But that's all there is to it.
He Yu didn't invite her before, and asked her if she would like to sit at a table with him and his partners for dinner, Jiang Xiaozhen replied that she did not want to. He said, then I'll sit with you, I'll go find my friend after you finish eating, Jiang Xiaozhen still doesn't want to.
She was willing to call, text, or go out alone with him. During those moments, Jiang Xiaozhen seemed lively and talkative.
However, when he has friends by his side, and they walk in places where they are easy to meet acquaintances, she will not have too much communication with him.
When asked why, Jiang Xiaozhen said convincingly: "I hate people looking at me with 'you're lucky' eyes, hate people looking at you with 'why are you playing with her' eyes, hate other people's eyes on your face and me Sweeping back and forth between the faces."
The sentence "Don't worry about them" that He Yu wanted to answer was so light that he couldn't say it to Jiang Xiaozhen.
So, after a long absence, he and Jiang Xiaozhen had dinner at the same table, on the day she paid her wages after working for a full month.
Jiang Xiaozhen made an appointment with He Yu alone.
She arrived early and chose the brightest seat in the small restaurant. After sitting down, she stared at the busy traffic outside the window in a daze.
"Hi, lady."
The shoulders were tapped twice, and the visitor cleared his throat artificially.
"Can I sit next to you?"
Jiang Xiaozhen pulled away the plastic chair beside her, and put a large wrapped gift box on it.
Naturally pushing the gift into He Yu's arms, she motioned for him to take a seat.
He Yu was slightly surprised: "For me?"
Jiang Xiaozhen nodded.
"I do not want."
He returned the gift, visibly displeased.
She understands him, and he feels sorry for her working hard to make money and wasting money on gifts.
"It's a very cheap gift. The first salary I earned is commemorative, and you have to accept it."
Commemorative significance...
The words had reached such heights that He Yu had no choice but to accept them.
Jiang Xiaozhen didn't lie, it was indeed not expensive, which lightened his psychological burden a little.
Back in the dormitory, He Yu unpacked it, and there was a pillow with a faint fragrance in the gift box.
Mung bean skin pillow, you can hear the rustling sound when you touch it, it is said that this kind of pillow has a very good sleeping effect.
How many years have passed since He Yu had nightmares and was awakened by Jiang Mingzhen in her childhood
She also remembered that he was a light sleeper.
Compared with the methods used to help him maintain sleep when he was a child, Jiang Xiaozhen's growth is more than a little bit.
He Yu smiled unconsciously.
The person who said he didn't want a gift happily used the new pillow that night.
Jiang Xiaozhen also received an unexpected surprise.
For a whole month, she racked her brains to hand leaflets to others, but today, someone secretly stuffed her with leaflets.
It was a promotional paper of a tutoring institution, and He Yu quietly put it in her bag. In the corner, he circled the small recruitment information with a black pen.
The next day, Jiang Xiaozhen went to the tutoring institution listed on the flyer for an interview.
Her grades in the college entrance examination are excellent, the university she attended is also good, and she teaches well. The institution is very satisfied with her. However, since Jiang Xiaozhen had just entered college and had little experience, the students they assigned to her were from lower grades.
Tutoring works four times a week and is charged by the hour. Jiang Xiaozhen is in charge of two students at the beginning.
In general, the money earned in this way for a month is about the same as distributing leaflets.
Girls in the fifth grade will be taught English, and boys in the sixth grade will be supplemented with Chinese. In order not to mislead the students, Jiang Xiaozhen diligently read the textbooks for the fifth and sixth grades, and combined with the students' situations, she helped them explain and answer questions.
He Yu recommended tutoring work to Jiang Xiaozhen, with the intention of making her less tired.
But it is impossible not to be tired, because Jiang Xiaozhen did not quit her job of distributing leaflets.
Study, homework, and two jobs, all grasped, thinking about completing all to the best.
Too much greed, she needs too many things.
