Now the person I am closest to and can talk to in Night City is Xu Lu. We found a small restaurant for dinner in the evening. Xu Lu ordered a bottle of strong wine and asked me if I wanted to drink it. Now that I see the wine, I think Vomiting, he quickly waved his hand.
During the dinner, Xu Lu said while drinking: "Zijin, you said I am only twenty-three or four years old, why do I feel so tired?"
Sighing, I replied aloud: "Everyone is the same."
Thinking back to the time when I first joined the Luo family, I was really in fear every day. When I closed my eyes, it was a nightmare, and when I opened my eyes, it was a nightmare when I was awake. It seemed like something different and thrilling happened every day. At that time, I really didn’t know how I survived.
Xu Lu's face was blurred with sadness and relief, and she sighed: "You have made it through now. Just in the Luo family, you have to leave us behind. Now you have been promoted to Luo Xiangdong's assistant." , that is even more comparable to becoming a phoenix in one leap, something we will never be able to catch up with in our lifetime.”
I said, "It was just an accident. If it weren't for the fact that Teacher Gu had a good relationship with Luo Xiangdong and he said a few words for me, how could Luo Xiangdong take care of me like this?"
Xu Lu said: "That's because you have a good life, unlike us, hey..."
Seeing her like that, I could only comfort her: "Don't be so pessimistic. You have lived so many years and you have been so tired since you were in your early twenties. What will you do in the future?"
When Xu Lu heard this, she suddenly stretched out her hand to support her forehead. I saw her lowering her gaze, tears welling up in her eyes, and she quickly said, "Oh, look, why are you crying?"
Xu Lu choked and replied: "Zijin, I didn't want to tell you originally."
My heart skipped a beat, and my instinctive reaction was that something bad had happened again.
Looking at Xu Lu without blinking, I asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Xu Lu said: "The night before yesterday, I had dinner with a client and drank until about ten o'clock in the evening before returning to the dormitory. As soon as I got back, my mother called me and asked me what was on my mind. She cried first when she opened her mouth, saying that my father was laid off. "
My eyes suddenly widened and I was so surprised that I couldn't speak. After a while, I asked tentatively: "Isn't uncle working in a public institution? How could he be laid off all of a sudden?"
Xu Lu cried and said, "I asked the same question. Later, my mother told me that my father's position was bought with a sum of money more than ten years ago. Nowadays, the state's inspections are strict, and if there are people in the family, It cost a lot of money to get a formal job, but for someone like my dad, who is usually honest, he didn’t even hear about it. When the boss called him, he was immediately told about being fired. "
My mother works in an educational institution and she has told me about this, so I know a little bit about it. For example, what we think of as the iron rice bowl is a national establishment, while some people who work in public institutions are provincial establishments, and some are even only temporary establishments. ad_250_left;
I only roughly knew that Xu Lu's father worked in a certain public institution, but I never thought about whether he was a state editor.
The first thought in my heart was that Xu Lu had been so unlucky recently. It really fits the saying: good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.
As soon as I finished thinking, Xu Lu cried and said: "Zijin, why do you think I am so unlucky? My career is not going well, my family is not going well, my mother told me that my father was so worried that he couldn't even eat a bite for two days and one night. I didn’t eat and almost had a heart attack. What can I say? I can only console myself by saying that I’m doing very well now. The worst thing is that I can work for another six months and a year and save some money for them. Dad needs to find a new job."
"Zijin, I'm too stressed..."
Xu Lu covered her eyes with her hands, not wanting me to see her cry. I felt extremely uncomfortable, and immediately my head went blank, and I promised aloud: "Luzi, don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter. Even if Luo Xiangdong doesn't agree, I will go through all the hard work to make him agree to it. "
Hearing this, Xu Lu took her hand away from her eyes and said repeatedly: "Zijin, you must not do this. If you do this, I will feel even more sorry. You know that I feel aggrieved, so I just want to talk to you." , please don’t let my affairs affect you again, then who will I become?”
I said: "I don't blame you, but I blame uncle. When we were in school, my family was not from Night City. Every time uncle came to see you, he always brought some extra snacks and shared them with me. I love you so much." I’ll keep it in mind. Don’t worry, even if I can’t find the right time to say it tomorrow, I’ll give you an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
I just love to be impulsive. In my father's words: Zijin should be a boy, with a very good temper and temper.
Now that the big words are out, I have to think about how to talk to Luo Xiangdong, and if he disagrees life and death, how can I dare to talk to him in front of him.
Xu Lu drank a whole bottle of strong wine that night and wanted to call again, but I refused. Alcohol is not a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the hospital yesterday.
During the meal, I had been playing the role of a spiritual nurse, pouring all kinds of comfort and soothing words to Xu Lu, making her laugh and ask: "Have you read Chicken Soup for the Soul recently?"
I said, "Bring me some water to soak in. I'll be chicken soup for the soul."
Xu Lu was still tolerant after all. After more than an hour of my persuasion, she herself felt much better. It was not even nine o'clock when we left the hotel. I walked along the pedestrian street in the center of the night city and entered several famous stores. The clothes and bags in them cost tens of thousands, not to mention the jewelry, which ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions.
With the living standards of losers like Xu Lu and me, we naturally only dared to take a look. When we left the store, Xu Lu whispered to me: "Zijin, hang out, when will we be able to come to this kind of store casually?" Shopping will keep us going! ”
I said, "I don't have the ambitions of yours. I can't afford to visit a place like this. The worst thing I can do is not visit it next time. Otherwise, I would have to earn 50,000 yuan a month to dare to come to this place."
Xu Lu said: "You are now Luo Xiangdong's assistant. Tell me quietly, how much is your monthly salary now?"
Seeing her lowering her voice with a mysterious and gossipy look on her face, I couldn't help but smile and replied: "I haven't waited for my first salary after my promotion. I don't know. I'll tell you after I get the job."
Xu Lu said: "Ten thousand is a certainty. If it really exceeds thirty or forty thousand, forty or fifty thousand, don't tell me, lest I be irritated. Now I have a hatred of the rich."
I smiled and replied: "Three to forty thousand, forty to fifty thousand? Do you really think that the money you have now is not money?"
We were talking and shopping, because Xu Lu was in a bad mood. When we went to a crystal jewelry store, I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and spent more than 700 yuan on an amethyst bracelet, which is said to be good for transshipment.
I handed the bracelet to Xu Lu, and Xu Lu's first reaction was to refuse. I raised my eyes and glanced at her, and whispered: "There are so many people, why bother with me? It's not embarrassing."
Xu Lu's eyes suddenly turned red again, and I quickly advised her in a low voice: "Sister, don't act in this place, it's too embarrassing."
Xu Lu was amused by me and happily put on the bracelet and said, "Zijin, when I get my salary next month, tell me what you want."
I nodded and replied: "I'm just waiting for your words, otherwise you think I will give you a gift for nothing. It's a good idea."
On the way home, Xu Lu bought a giant rainbow cone, which was as long as half an arm. She licked it in circles and muttered: "Fortunately, it was cold, otherwise it would have melted without eating much."
I have loved ice cream since I was a kid, especially the kind that comes out of a machine. When I was a child, I lived in Liangcheng. It was cold in the north. Every October or so, there were no freshly made ice creams on the street. So now that I see Xu Lu eating it, I’m really hungry.
Xu Lu caught a glimpse of me looking at me eagerly, and she said, "Want to eat?"
I nodded and Xu Lu said: "But you can't eat it. Don't you have acute gastroenteritis? Avoid raw or cold food."
I swallowed hard, looking really worthless. Xu Lu couldn't stop laughing. Finally, she brought the ice cream in front of me, pointed down and said, "Eat less."
The biggest difference between women and men is that we can share clothes, share food, and share any private things with our boyfriends. These are things that men cannot do between men. Of course, I don’t know about transvestites and gays.
I went up and took a big bite at the place Xu Lu had licked. When I ate it, my throat and stomach felt cold to the core.
With my mouth slightly open, I breathed out coldly.
Xu Lu glared at me and said with disdain, "Nothing to show for it."
After returning to the apartment, Xu Lu said she wanted to take a shower first, so I sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. Before she finished taking a shower, I felt very uncomfortable in my stomach. First there were bouts of twitching, then tumbling, and then Then…
"Ugh..."
I rushed to the kitchen sink and retched. Nothing came out, but my stomach felt very uncomfortable.
When Xu Lu came out and saw me like this, she quickly ran over and asked, "What happened?"
My eyes were red and I replied aloud: "I guess I ate it with ice cream."
Xu Lu frowned and said, "You said you didn't do this."
She helped me to the sofa in the living room, and I curled up and lay down on it, covered with a blanket.
Fortunately, the doctor prescribed some gastrointestinal medicine for me, and Xu Lu found a few. There were four or five tablets in total, and I took them all. 360 search Μiao_Bi-ｇｍ. com with love and time updated quickly
After struggling for an hour, my stomach felt better.
Xu Lu said: "Hurry up and take a bath upstairs. Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."
I hummed, covering my stomach with one hand, and supporting Xu Lu's hand with the other. Like the empress dowager leaving the palace, I walked step by step to the second floor.
I was in good health when I was a child, but I didn't expect that I would be in trouble when I grew up.
It was just a mouthful of ice cream. I woke up three times in one night, not from vomiting, but from a bad stomach.
Xu Lu was woken up by me at 6:50 in the morning. She opened her eyes in a daze and said, "Morning."
I sat on the edge of the bed with my hair disheveled, my eyes dark and blue, and I weakly replied: "I haven't slept since five o'clock."
