meet someone
1 chapter raw, 2 chapters cooked.The friendship between An Ding and Ding Wei is even higher.
He will definitely rush forward and yell twice, to resolve, to resolve this provocative loneliness.
An Ning lay on the sofa, not intending to get up.
The boss put a cup of hot drink on the table in front of An Ding, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay. It's fine." An Ding sat up, "I didn't order milk tea. Did you deliver it wrong?"
An Ding looked at the cup of hot drink in front of her, a little suspicious.
"It's not wrong, he ordered it." The boss pointed to a man sitting at the bar.
An Ding looked at the man, and the man also looked at An Ding.An Ding said, "Thank you!"
The man was a little far away, coupled with the dynamic music, he only saw Anding's mouth move, but didn't hear anything else.
"What?" he asked.
An Ding pointed to her ear, then shook her hand, indicating that she couldn't hear clearly.
The man came over with the cup, and the boss walked away tactfully.When rubbing shoulders with the man, the boss patted the man on the shoulder.
"Thank you for the milk tea." An Ding thanked the man again.He originally wanted to invite him back, or give him money, but he felt that this was too noble, so he just let it go.
"You're welcome." The man said, "You're really awesome, you can fall asleep in such a noisy place. I thought you were sick."
An Ding smiled and said, "It's just that I'm too tired today. But sleeping in this environment will definitely be considered sick."
An Ding teased herself, and the man jokingly answered, "No, I'm here to bring you medicine."
An Ding smiled, and he looked at the man in front of him. He had short hair and was energetic, with a heroic look between his eyebrows and eyes. Before he spoke, there would be a smile on the corner of his mouth.Dressed in black, the whole person is mature and steady.
How could such a man come to this place alone at this time, An Ding was a little puzzled.
"My name is Tang Yize, what's your name?" the man asked.
"An Ding." An Ding reached out and shook Tang Yize lightly.
"An Ding! What a good name." Tang Yize said An Ding's name, as if talking to himself or for An Ding.
"I thought you were praising me." An Ding said, "Tang Yize, it sounds good too. You can choose the sugar-coated shell."
"Don't talk nonsense, the righteousness of loyalty, four tones, the luster of the common people." Tang Yize corrected.
An Ding laughed, and Tang Yize realized that he had been tricked.Probably because the man in front of him is in line with the stable aesthetics, he actually made a joke of him.
"First time? I haven't seen you before."
"First time here."
"Why did you come here during the Spring Festival? There are no people on the street, and there are not many people in the bar."
"In order to avoid the forced marriage of the Seventh Aunt and the Eighth Aunt, I came here early. You can't do it for the same reason? It's embarrassing to come here at this time."
"I'm just bored at home, come and have a look. The boss is my elder brother."
"Your elder brother, then I will come more often in the future and ask him to give me a discount on drinks." An Ding joked.
"Don't think about it, I have to pay when I come here. It is to prevent me from bringing dubious people over to drink his bar."
An Ding smiled again, "Your brother is really stingy."
"Who said no."
In this day when people all over the country are reunited with their families, how lonely it is to be alone in Wuxi, a city that is both familiar and unfamiliar.After finally meeting someone who could talk, I couldn't help but let go of all my defenses.
"Ah Ze, set off the firecrackers and welcome the God of Wealth." The boss came over and said to Tang Yize.
"Let's go together." Tang Yize led An Ding to the bar entrance.
The night was a bit cool, the sky was black, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, An Ding and Tang Yize were together, lighting firecrackers and watching the fireworks.
☆, passed away
On the sixth day of the sixth day, An Ding slept at home all morning. If he was not hungry, he would never have gotten up.Last night, he came back very late.Tang Yize offered to send him off, but he refused, and Tang Yize didn't insist. After all, when they met for the first time, being too attentive would give people the illusion of ill intentions.
An Ding returned to the place she rented at around five o'clock in the afternoon.Still alone, he couldn't help calling Chen Hao and asking him if he had been to Wuxi.Chen Hao said it.He asked Chen Hao to have dinner together, but he walked around the neighborhood, but he didn't see a store open for business.
"Buy something and go back and cook." Chen Hao said.
"Okay. I can only go to the supermarket." Anding said.
The vegetable stalls look like the mess left after fleeing famine during the war.An Ding stood there for a long time in the grocery shopping area, dumbfounded.Chen Hao picked out a few green peppers and put them in a convenience bag, hesitated for a while and then put them down.
"Just buy green peppers. I'll pick two more eggs, scrambled eggs with green peppers." Anding said.
An Ding turned to pick the eggs.Chen Hao picked up the green peppers and asked the salesperson to weigh them.
Dinner is simple, noodles with scrambled eggs with green peppers.An Ding feels that life goes from being rich and rich to having nothing in just one thought.A few days ago, I was still a big fish and meat at home, but I started eating noodles in the past two days.But he didn't feel bitter, even if he thought about it, he wouldn't care.
"Does anyone in your family want a dog?" An Ding asked.
"Why, you want to give me your dog who likes to drive?" Chen Hao asked back.
"It's a good idea. My brother regards the dog as a treasure. The night I came to Wuxi, the dog didn't come home all night. My brother worried for a long time. He came back only after a day, covered in mud."
"Since you can't bear it, why do you ask me if I want to have a dog?"
"That's a bitch, and it's estimated that she will give birth to puppies in the first half of the year." An Ding smiled kindly, "I guess it would be embarrassing to run out the day before yesterday."
"You have a very rich imagination. However, no one in our family has a dog. You can keep it for yourself."
"let it go."
After dinner, An Ding cleaned up the dishes and prepared to clean up the kitchen.At this moment, the phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was Feng Chun calling.Feng Chun is An Ding's classmate, a roommate in college, and his family lives in Wuxi New District.
"How do you know that I'm in Wuxi, and you want to treat me to dinner?" An Ding joked.
"I'm not in the mood to eat with you." Feng Chun said seriously, "Da Ye is gone."
"Gone? Where did you go?" An Ding asked.
"Da Ye passed away," Feng Chun said.
An Ding gasped, "Passed away?" An Ding couldn't believe what he heard, and asked repeatedly.A few days ago, I sent text messages to greet and bless each other, but if they said no, they would be gone.
"Well, on the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, their family was eating out. I heard from his father that he was fine when he left the restaurant. On the way home by taxi, he passed out suddenly. When he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he was already dead. The doctor said It was a heart attack." Feng Chun briefly told An Ding what had happened.
An Ding was silent, tears streaming from his eyes.He was a little bit unwilling to believe that Ye Zhiqiu would pass away suddenly, such a healthy and sunny person, he just left.In An Ding's memory, this college classmate is the most life-saving one among all. Once Feng Chun had stomach bleeding after drinking, and it was already late at night when several people sent Feng Chun to the hospital.While waiting, An Ding brought Ye Zhiqiu a cup of boiling water, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't want it, saying that the water in the hospital was unhygienic.How could such a person who always paid attention to his health die suddenly?There are question marks in An Ding's mind.
"Why are you crying?" Feng Chun said on the phone, "Let's go to the memorial service together the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up in the morning."
An Ding still couldn't stop crying.
Seeing An Ding crying, Chen Hao handed An Ding a tissue and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sitting on the bed in the living room, An Ding cried even harder.
"My classmate died." An Ding said to Chen Hao twitching.
Chen Hao didn't know what to comfort for a while, he went to An Ding's side, and patted An Ding's shoulder.
An Ding couldn't help but wanted to find someone to rely on, so she put her head on Chen Hao's shoulder.
"When we were in school, we were roommates. We played basketball together, skipped classes to play games together, and cheated on exams together. We've only graduated for more than a year, and we're gone."
An Ding cried in front of Chen Hao about her youthful and frivolous past. For some reason, deep in Chen Hao's heart, there was fleeting jealousy, even he himself did not notice the sour feeling in his heart.
After crying for a while, An Ding calmed down a bit.He stood up, walked into the room, and lay down on the bed.
Chen Hao helped An Ding tidy up the house, boiled a pot of water, poured a cup of tea for An Ding and put it on the table in Anding's room.
"Go to bed early. I'll go back first."
An Ding let out a "hmm".
Chen Hao closed the door and left the stable residence.
An Ding lay on the bed, crying from time to time.That night, he didn't wash up, didn't take off his clothes, and fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.His heart was empty.
The next day, when An Ding woke up, she thought a lot.Human life is so impermanent, everyone is mortal, it's just a matter of time.After waking up, An Ding accepted the fact that her classmate had passed away.
When he arrived at the company, Chen Hao asked An Ding if he was okay. He was worried all night.Chen Hao originally wanted to stay with him at Anding last night, but felt it was inappropriate, so he went back to his place of residence.
An Ding said it was fine.He asked Zhao Wentao for another day off, but Zhao Wentao had no intention of saying no.
There was nothing happy in the company that day, Li Yun resigned, and the atmosphere was very depressed.In fact, in the fourth day of junior high school, Li Yun had already told Zhao Wentao about it.The work meal at noon was not so smooth, Zhao Wentao ordered a few dishes for dinner, but the dishes were served quite slowly, which suits Zhao Wentao's mind.For this meal, Zhao Wentao not only saw Li Yun off, but also talked about the so-called work arrangement. The most important thing was that the meal cost was saved a lot.
An Ding didn't have the mood to pay attention to his flamboyance.
-
When I woke up in the morning, it was drizzling.The world is hazy and can't see clearly.
Feng Chun picked up An Ding by car, and then drove to Ye Zhiqiu's house. Several close classmates rushed over.They didn't see Ye Zhiqiu's parents, and they heard that they had gone to the temple.Several people burned incense in front of the brother's coffin.
Ye Zhiqiu lay peacefully in the coffin, and took a look at An Ding, just like back then.
An Ding and the others accompanied Ye Zhiqiu, taking him all the way from home to the funeral parlor and then to the cemetery, watching him being packed in a small box and put into the tomb.
An Ding sent an old friend to a distant place. He stood in front of the tombstone, burned a stick of incense, and bowed.An Ding felt that she should shed tears to echo the parting scene in the misty rain.But he never shed another tear, perhaps the tears had been dried up the night before, and all that was left was to wish Ye Zhiqiu happiness in the distant heaven.
When Ye Zhiqiu was buried in the ground, An Ding felt relieved.An Ding knows that every Ching Ming Festival, there is one more person in this world to remember.
In the afternoon, on the way back, Feng Chun said to An Ding: "If I knew that Daye left so early, I should have dragged him to whores when I was in school."
An Ding smiled "puh-bah", but then it was right to think about it, living in the present, who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Of course, An Ding knew that Feng Chun was just joking.
☆, respectively
Not long after going to work after the Spring Festival, Li Yun really left the company.He is a very persistent person. He would rather not work for four months than work for Zhao Wentao. An Ding admires this man from the bottom of his heart.
Not long after, Guo Chen also left the company.Guo Chen's resignation was sudden and legendary, within a few days.I heard from him that the company he switched to sent someone to pick him up for an interview, the purpose of which was to dispel Zhao Wentao's suspicion.After all the dust settled, he proposed to Zhao Wentao to resign.The confidentiality work is well done.
The behaviors of Li Yun and Guo Chen are two extremes.Later Ding Wei's departure made An Ding dumbfounded again.
About two weeks later, Ding Wei suddenly ran from Nanjing to Wuxi, and immediately entered Zhao Wentao's office.The two talked for a long time.That night, Ding Wei stayed in the company and worked overtime until very late.
Ding Wei returned to his residence at night, exhausted.
"Why did you come to Wuxi again? I didn't say anything in advance." An Ding sat in the living room reading a book.
"I sent an email to Dr. Zhao asking for a raise. Then he called me over."
"Dr. Zhao's money is not easy to get. If you want to increase your salary, you have to pay more." Anding knows this very well.
"Yeah, no, I'll be forced to work overtime after we've negotiated an extra 300 yuan." Ding Wei smiled wryly.
"Have you finished your meal? I still have some dumplings." An Ding asked.
"There are also dumplings, and the treatment is good. Now my heart feels a little relieved. Where did it come from?"
"I packed it myself."
"Let's have some."
Settle down in the kitchen and make dumplings.
"I haven't wrapped it yet, I thought it was ready-made." Ding Wei looked suspicious, "Then don't eat it."
"Don't, it'll be soon." An Ding said while wrapping the dumplings, "The dumplings need to be wrapped and eaten right away, as they tend to rot if left out for a long time."
An Ding didn't know why, the dumplings he made couldn't stand the test of time.After a little longer time, the dumpling wrappers will stick to the objects they touch, and after they are separated, the stuffing will leak out.So every time I eat dumplings, they are freshly made.
When eating dumplings, Ding Wei praised Anding's dumplings, saying they were delicious.Making dumplings may be Anding's only specialty in cooking.
When Ding Wei came, he brought a pack of bacon.The next day, Anding bought bamboo shoots and stewed them directly.In the evening, Ding Wei still came back very late, and fell asleep after eating a little.
For several nights in a row, Ding Wei worked overtime.
One morning, Ding Wei stood by the toilet for a long time.
"Are you ready?" An Ding asked, "The one who occupies the toilet and doesn't pee?"
"It hurts. I can't urinate." Ding Wei grinned with embarrassment.
An Ding was a little confused, but then seemed to realize it again.He pointed to the urinal that Ding Wei took out and said, "You mean your pain?"
Ding Wei nodded.
"What did you do last night?" An Ding asked.
"I didn't do anything, and I don't have the habit of that." Ding Wei looked innocent.
After holding back for a long time, Ding Wei finally took a pee, which was very yellow.
"It should be working overtime these days. I'm too tired." Ding Wei said, lifting his pants, "I will stop working after this month and I get paid. It's not worthwhile to go on like this and exhaust my body."
"Then have you found your next home?"
"Not yet, I have been submitting resumes."
An Ding didn't say anything, maybe leaving this company is the best choice.He supported Ding Wei from the bottom of his heart, but he was a little disappointed.
"Taking Dr. Zhao an extra salary of 300 yuan will make him feel bad."
This is the biggest punishment that Ding Weineng gave Zhao Wentao.
But the facts are not as Ding Wei expected.On the day when the salary was paid, Ding Wei checked the salary card and found that the 300 yuan had not been credited to the account.Ding Wei went directly to Zhao Wentao, and Zhao Wentao said that it would not start until next month.Ding Wei offered to resign on the spot, but Zhao Wentao had no intention of keeping him.
That day, Ding Wei walked very lonely, and An Ding wanted to ask him to have a meal with him, but he left in a hurry, dragging a simple suitcase and leaving.
In order to complain to Ding Wei, An Ding told others that Ding Wei was forced to leave by Zhao Wentao, and that he would not give him 300 yuan.And that is the truth.
It's funny to say, because everyone regards Zhao Wentao as a common enemy, so they are very united.There is no such indifference and intrigue in other companies.
But it also verified the old saying that there is no feast that never ends.Fate comes, fate disperses, fate is like water.
-
Anding is also not optimistic about the company's development, in fact, everyone is not optimistic.An Ding didn't have the enthusiasm for work, he wanted to resign like Ding Wei did.But Chen Hao persuaded him that it would not be too late to resign after finding another family.
After listening to Chen Hao's words, An Ding waited and watched while working in the company.Fortunately, Chen Hao did not leave.
An Ding had received an interview notice, and he went too.It was a Saturday, and in a stable way of thinking, it was usually an informal company that organized the interview on Saturday.And most people are looking forward to an interview opportunity on Saturday.
Anding has also figured out some interview routines for HR in private companies, which first hit your self-confidence, and then lower your salary.
In that interview, a middle-aged man engaged in technology talked about the school he graduated from.
"Your alma mater doesn't seem to have any historical background."
An Ding said: "Our school's mechanical major ranks among the top in the country."
Later, the middle-aged man asked An Ding another question. An Ding answered in the affirmative, but he objected, and An Ding still answered in the affirmative. Finally, the middle-aged man said that maybe he remembered it wrong.
During the interview, the middle-aged man made many mistakes in An Ding's answers, and An Ding also readily accepted them. For example, some questions about machining, An Ding himself was not familiar with.
In fact, work is a process of mutual selection, and An Ding feels that this middle-aged man with yellow teeth is showing off.Anding is also not optimistic about the prospect of joining this company.In fact, that company didn't see him either.
An Ding interviewed several companies, but to no avail.
He thought that God was waiting for the best arrangement for him.Perhaps, there is still a story to happen between him and Chen Hao.
In fact, Chen Hao also ran several companies in Changzhou.He is determined to go to Changzhou.Years ago, he went to the company that Tang Juan helped him find, but there was no result.Had to stay in the company to continue working.
Wang Huan said when everyone was parting ways: "We are the only ones left to work in the company. We work alone, and a few people keep an eye on us."
Zhao Wentao is still unwilling to manage and calculate.At the beginning of the year, he actually won a project of 50 yuan, and everyone's salary can be paid in full, but he never mentioned the part that was deducted before.
The familiar people in the company are almost gone, and the new colleagues are not so easy to chat with.Chen Hao and An Ding get along even tighter, often drinking and playing games together.
☆, buy a car
An Ding's birthday happened to be Saturday, and he was called home early in the morning by his mother.
It's a long way from Jiangnan University to Chong'an District where his home is located. Before Anding, I was always dizzy by the winding roads when I was riding a bicycle. This time I simply took the subway back.
As soon as you open the door, you can smell the aroma of food.
"Have you had breakfast yet?" An Ding's mother, Zhang Xuping, was busy in the kitchen.
"Not yet. As soon as you called, I got up and rushed over." An Ding went straight to the room, put down the bag he was carrying, and then walked to the room where his younger brother was safe.
"An Hao, I woke up, I played games again last night." An Ding said to An Hao who was wrapped in the quilt.
Anhao didn't open her eyes either, she said something squeaky, and then fell silent again.An Ding didn't care either, he never interfered with his younger brother's way of life.
An Ding turned on the computer in An Hao's room and started watching the video.
"Drink this bowl of pork rib soup." Zhang Xuping put the bowl on the computer table, then pointed to An Hao who was lying on the bed and said, "I played games last night until one or two in the morning, and went to bed without washing my feet. , I don’t know how he lived in school, and he didn’t even have time to eat.”
"Let him go, it's useless to talk about it." An Ding picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, "This soup is well stewed, quite thick."
"The ribs I bought at the vegetable market early in the morning have been stewed for an hour." Seeing An Ding boasting that the soup is delicious, Zhang Xuping didn't bother to complain that An Ding was ready.
"Is there anything else to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"There are dumplings in the refrigerator. I made them yesterday. I'll cook them for you. Let's have lunch together when your dad comes back."
"Yeah. Don't worry about lunch. It's not until nine o'clock, so it's still early." An Ding held the bowl with one hand and clicked the mouse with the other.
Zhang Xuping turned out the frozen dumplings in the refrigerator.He went to the bed again, and pulled the quilt covering An Hao's body. "Well, I'm cooking dumplings, get up quickly. It won't taste good if it's boiled."
Anhao's lazy and impatient voice came from under the quilt: "Understood."
"Look at him, he is idle all day long, and he does not miss his job." Zhang Xuping pointed to An Hao and said to An Ding.
An Ding smiled again.Shrugging his shoulders, he couldn't help it.
While Zhang Xuping was cooking the dumplings, Anding's cell phone rang, and the call was from Chen Hao.An Ding was a little surprised, and wondered if there was something wrong, or if he knew it was my birthday, he called here, but he didn't tell him.
"Hello, Chen Hao. What's the matter?" An Ding asked when the phone was connected.
"Come out and accompany me to buy a bicycle."
"How did you come up with the idea of buying a bicycle?"
"The last time I was with you, I saw your car and thought it was good. At that time, I wanted to buy it. Now that spring is here, I will buy a car to go around Taihu Lake."
"I have a pursuit. What kind are you going to buy?"
"Just the one you ride, Giant's, the price is around 2000. By the way, where did you buy that car?"
"I bought it at Nanchan Temple, there is a specialty store there."
"Okay. Are you at your residence now? It's convenient to come out, let's go and have a look together?"
"No. I'm at home, why don't we meet at Nanchan Temple. My house is very close to Nanchan Temple, and it's only five or six stops by subway."
"Okay then, we'll contact you when we get there. Don't be in a hurry, I haven't had breakfast yet." After speaking, Chen Hao laughed twice and hung up the phone.
"Your colleague?" Zhang Xuping brought a plate of dumplings to An Ding.
"Well. Tell me to accompany him to buy a bicycle."
"Are you coming back for lunch then?"
"Come back."
"Then call your colleagues over for dinner."
"Okay." Anding chewed on the dumplings. "Mom, how did you make the dumpling stuffing? Last time I made leek dumplings by myself, there was a lot of soup in the fried stuffing, and the dumplings were rotten."
An Ding doesn't mind telling his mother about his embarrassing things.
"For vegetarian vegetables like leeks, after chopping, pour some salt to marinate for a while, and then squeeze out the water inside with your hands. This way, the fried stuffing will have no water."
"Well, I'll try again in two days."
"Anhao, get up and have breakfast." Zhang Xuping shouted at Anhao, but seeing no response, she knocked on Anhao twice through the quilt, "Hurry up, I told you to go to bed early at night, but I didn't listen. What's the matter now?" It's time. Hurry up."
Seeing that there was still no response, Zhang Xuping knocked again.
An Hao was helpless, sat up lazily, squinted her eyes, her hair was messed up like a sparrow's nest, the quilt was covering her legs, and she didn't intend to move further for a while.
"Get up quickly." An Ding couldn't help but said, "Go to bed after eating."
"We don't let people have a good rest on weekends." Anhao dragged the quilt carelessly, tossing it over and over again, "Mom, is my white sweater gone? I remember I took it off last night and threw it on the bed. Why can't I find it?" arrive?"
"I washed it when I cleaned up the room in the morning. It was still white, but it was all gray." Zhang Xuping took out a piece of clothing from the closet and threw it on the bed. "Put this on."
"Oh." Anhao slowly got up.
After eating, An Ding washed the dishes and put them in the kitchen.After tidying up a bit, I greeted Zhang Xuping and went out.
-
On Saturday, Nanzenji Temple is full of people coming and going, showing the prosperity of the commercial street.
When An Ding arrived, Chen Hao had already waited for a while.
"I bought it at that store last time." An Ding pointed to the Giant car dealership not far away, "Let's go there first and have a look. There is also a Merida, which seems to be near here, but I can't remember the exact location." , look for it later.”
"I checked on the Internet before I came, and the other one is on Nanchang Street."
When I entered the garage, no one came to greet me.There were two young men in the car dealership, and one was leading a woman in her 40s to introduce the performance of a car.Next to the woman stood her son, eager to try a mountain bike; another boy was assembling parts for a bike.The proprietress at the counter tapped on the computer keyboard to print out a letter for a couple standing in front of the counter.
"Why doesn't it have your color? Blue and white, it's pretty." Chen Hao turned around, a little disappointed.
"Why, you want to match me with a couple car." An Ding teased with a smile.Then I asked the guy who assembled the accessories: "Handsome guy, is the 770 still in stock?"
"That model has been discontinued, let's look at other products." The young man didn't look up.
An Ding shrugged at Chen Hao.
"Then is there a blue and white frame?" Chen Hao squeezed the brake of a car to feel it.
"Not yet."
"This one is more than 1?" Anding pulled Chen Hao's sleeve, pointed to the price on a car hanging on the wall, and whispered.
"It's so expensive. But you can tell it's a good car just by looking at it. The visual effect is there." Chen Hao reached out and touched the frame.
An Ding nodded.
Chen Hao searched for a car that suited him, and tried one after another.
"If you think it suits you, you can go to the outer gate for a ride, it's fine." An Ding felt that just touching the handlebars, pinching the brakes, dialing the transmission, etc., would not be able to appreciate the quality of the car.
"No rush, let's go to Merida to have a look first, compare and then try to ride."
Chen Hao said so, but An Ding didn't insist.Just about to go out together, two people appeared at the door, accompanied by a burly man, and entered the car dealership.
The big man was tall and thick, with a thick back and a hunchback. He glanced around, pointed to a car hanging diagonally on the wall and said, "I want to try that one, get it for me."
Chen Hao and An Ding looked in the direction of the big man's finger, and they were both dumbfounded. The wheels of the car were similar to motorcycle wheels, and the cross-sectional diameter of the tire was a full 15 centimeters.
The guy who originally assembled the parts in the car dealership confirmed it: "Are you talking about that beach bike by itself?"
"Yes, that's the one." The big man said loudly.
An Ding felt strange, and pulled Chen Hao out without rushing.
The big man pushed the car to the door of the garage, and the two accompanying people stood aside and commented on the car in a low voice.
"Brother, this car is called pulling the wind when it is on the road." The big man stepped on the car, sat on the car mat with his buttocks, and said arrogantly to the two people beside him.
"It feels pretty good." One person answered, and the other echoed.
After the big man sat firmly on the car, An Ding obviously saw the tires sink a little.
Chen Hao said quietly, "Only this kind of bicycle here is worthy of this big brother."
Chen Hao showed a slight smile.
The big man turned back after riding for more than ten meters, and said directly to the proprietress, "I bought this car, proprietress."
The proprietress was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. "3200 yuan, credit card or cash?"
"Cash." The big man took out a large stack of money from his bag, looking like a nouveau riche.He counted the money and handed it to the boss, and stuffed the rest into his pocket.Act boldly.
"Do you want to send accessories or something?" a person next to him asked.
"Send me a water bottle cage and a tail light." The proprietress counted the money.
They're all little gadgets.
The big man bought the car generously and left, regardless of whether the car is practical or not.
The road to Merida was neither far nor near, and the two walked over.
"You don't have any plans for noon?" An Ding asked.
"No, after buying the car, I can ride around the city at most."
"Then go to my house for lunch. Today is my birthday, and my mother prepared a lot of dishes. When I went out just now, my mother asked me to ask you to have dinner together."
"It's your birthday today. Happy birthday." Chen Hao nudged An Ding's head with his hand, "Shall I buy you a cake to celebrate."
"Another year older, nothing to celebrate. It's just a family dinner together."
In my 20s, once my birthday is over, I will have more troubles.
"I'm serious, go to my house for lunch." An Ding emphasized again.
"I still won't go. It's embarrassing to go to your house."
"If you're told to go, you can go. Do you want me to say it a third time? Do you want me to send you an invitation?" An Ding joked.
"Okay, I'll go after I receive the invitation."
The ten-minute journey was just a matter of talking and laughing.
The Merida car dealership is no more in a busy city than Giant, the place is a bit remote, the store is very deserted, two guys are looking at the mobile phone near the door, and the other is looking at the computer at the cash register.Occasionally there are one or two guests, and they leave after a circle.
When entering the door, the guy looking at the mobile phone was enthusiastic, put down the mobile phone and asked, "What kind of car do you two want to buy?"
"Let's have a look first, and then buy if you find something suitable." Chen Hao was a little disappointed, and glanced at the cars in the dealership, feeling a big gap in his heart.
"The two of you can take a look. If it suits you, you can try riding it." Seeing that Chen Hao didn't intend to buy it, the clerk was very sensible and stopped talking, picked up his phone again and clicked on it.
When they came, Chen Hao looked around at the bicycles placed in the store, and after confirming that there was no suitable one, he signaled An Ding to leave.
"Let's go back to Giant."
"Ah."
On the way, in a small shop, the two each took a bottle of water.An Ding was about to pay, but was stopped by Chen Hao.Chen Hao paid the money, but An Ding didn't say anything.
"I think the 850 is not bad, but I don't like the color too much." Chen Hao expressed his thoughts.
"Don't worry about the color, do you really want to match mine with a couple's car?" An Ding smiled gloatingly, "Fortunately, there are no blue and white ones, otherwise everyone will die of laughter when riding to the company."
"Don't worry, I won't buy the same color as you."
When he came to Giant again, Chen Hao looked again, and told Anding about the models he thought he could accept.
"Which color should you choose for these two models?" Chen Hao was still struggling with the color issue.
An Ding was a little speechless, but still expressed his opinion: "This one is fine, it matches the color of your usual clothes."
"Then this one."
After making the decision, Chen Hao said to a clerk in the store: "I'll try riding this car first."
The guy helped push the car to the door.Chen Hao took the car, tried it out, and was quite satisfied.
"Will the parking rack, fenders and locks be delivered?" Chen Hao asked the man.
"No, you have to buy this yourself. We usually only send water bottle cages and taillights."
"Then help me match all these."
An Ding took advantage of the assistant pushing the cart to assemble the accessories, and whispered to Chen Hao: "These accessories are very expensive to buy in specialty stores, so it's better to buy other brands online."
Chen Hao thought it was reasonable, so he said to the clerk, "Let's get a lock first."
After paying the payment, before going out, the proprietress did not forget to remind: "When you are in a hurry, brake one after another, and then brake forward."
"Okay, got it." Chen Hao smiled at the proprietress as a thank you.
☆, go to An Ding's house
Just before going out and walking a few steps, An Ding's cell phone rang, picked it up and checked, it was An Ding calling.
"Brother, where have you been?"
"Still at Nanchan Temple, ready to go back."
"Oh." An Hao paused, as if talking to someone else, and then said into the microphone, "Mom asked you to call your colleague over for dinner."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, An Ding said to Chen Hao: "Go, go to my house for dinner. This is my mother's invitation to you, please give the old lady some face."
"This is not very good. Besides, it's inconvenient. I'm riding a bike. You'd better take the subway back first."
The scene was a bit embarrassing, two people shared a car, only one could ride the car, and there was no tail seat.
"Let's make a call and put the bike in the trunk." An Ding suggested.
Chen Hao hesitated for a moment.
"Why don't you try sitting in the front?" Chen Hao sat on the car mat, with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal of the car, pointing to the front bumper.
An Ding looked at the front bumper of the car with a look of embarrassment on his face.The slope of the front bumper of the car is too big.
"Let's take a taxi." An Ding was sure, because it was uncomfortable to sit on the front bumper.
"What kind of car to take, just get on it."
Without waiting for An Ding to respond, Zhang Chenhao pulled An Ding into the car.
The result was as stable as expected, very uncomfortable.An Ding was lying on the dragon's head, his movements were weird, he wanted to move, but Chen Hao had already got on the pedals and rode.Chen Hao's feet would touch An Ding's legs, and An Ding resisted the awkwardness, and raised his legs a little higher.
At the entrance of the downtown area, there was a lot of people, Chen Hao rode the bike very slowly, the faucet was crooked, like a drunk.
"You know how to go." Chen Hao asked.
"I don't remember clearly, let me turn on the navigation."
"Your family is not from Wuxi, why don't you know the roads in Wuxi?"
An Ning lay on the sofa, not intending to get up.
The boss put a cup of hot drink on the table in front of An Ding, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay. It's fine." An Ding sat up, "I didn't order milk tea. Did you deliver it wrong?"
An Ding looked at the cup of hot drink in front of her, a little suspicious.
"It's not wrong, he ordered it." The boss pointed to a man sitting at the bar.
An Ding looked at the man, and the man also looked at An Ding.An Ding said, "Thank you!"
The man was a little far away, coupled with the dynamic music, he only saw Anding's mouth move, but didn't hear anything else.
"What?" he asked.
An Ding pointed to her ear, then shook her hand, indicating that she couldn't hear clearly.
The man came over with the cup, and the boss walked away tactfully.When rubbing shoulders with the man, the boss patted the man on the shoulder.
"Thank you for the milk tea." An Ding thanked the man again.He originally wanted to invite him back, or give him money, but he felt that this was too noble, so he just let it go.
"You're welcome." The man said, "You're really awesome, you can fall asleep in such a noisy place. I thought you were sick."
An Ding smiled and said, "It's just that I'm too tired today. But sleeping in this environment will definitely be considered sick."
An Ding teased herself, and the man jokingly answered, "No, I'm here to bring you medicine."
An Ding smiled, and he looked at the man in front of him. He had short hair and was energetic, with a heroic look between his eyebrows and eyes. Before he spoke, there would be a smile on the corner of his mouth.Dressed in black, the whole person is mature and steady.
How could such a man come to this place alone at this time, An Ding was a little puzzled.
"My name is Tang Yize, what's your name?" the man asked.
"An Ding." An Ding reached out and shook Tang Yize lightly.
"An Ding! What a good name." Tang Yize said An Ding's name, as if talking to himself or for An Ding.
"I thought you were praising me." An Ding said, "Tang Yize, it sounds good too. You can choose the sugar-coated shell."
"Don't talk nonsense, the righteousness of loyalty, four tones, the luster of the common people." Tang Yize corrected.
An Ding laughed, and Tang Yize realized that he had been tricked.Probably because the man in front of him is in line with the stable aesthetics, he actually made a joke of him.
"First time? I haven't seen you before."
"First time here."
"Why did you come here during the Spring Festival? There are no people on the street, and there are not many people in the bar."
"In order to avoid the forced marriage of the Seventh Aunt and the Eighth Aunt, I came here early. You can't do it for the same reason? It's embarrassing to come here at this time."
"I'm just bored at home, come and have a look. The boss is my elder brother."
"Your elder brother, then I will come more often in the future and ask him to give me a discount on drinks." An Ding joked.
"Don't think about it, I have to pay when I come here. It is to prevent me from bringing dubious people over to drink his bar."
An Ding smiled again, "Your brother is really stingy."
"Who said no."
In this day when people all over the country are reunited with their families, how lonely it is to be alone in Wuxi, a city that is both familiar and unfamiliar.After finally meeting someone who could talk, I couldn't help but let go of all my defenses.
"Ah Ze, set off the firecrackers and welcome the God of Wealth." The boss came over and said to Tang Yize.
"Let's go together." Tang Yize led An Ding to the bar entrance.
The night was a bit cool, the sky was black, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, An Ding and Tang Yize were together, lighting firecrackers and watching the fireworks.
☆, passed away
On the sixth day of the sixth day, An Ding slept at home all morning. If he was not hungry, he would never have gotten up.Last night, he came back very late.Tang Yize offered to send him off, but he refused, and Tang Yize didn't insist. After all, when they met for the first time, being too attentive would give people the illusion of ill intentions.
An Ding returned to the place she rented at around five o'clock in the afternoon.Still alone, he couldn't help calling Chen Hao and asking him if he had been to Wuxi.Chen Hao said it.He asked Chen Hao to have dinner together, but he walked around the neighborhood, but he didn't see a store open for business.
"Buy something and go back and cook." Chen Hao said.
"Okay. I can only go to the supermarket." Anding said.
The vegetable stalls look like the mess left after fleeing famine during the war.An Ding stood there for a long time in the grocery shopping area, dumbfounded.Chen Hao picked out a few green peppers and put them in a convenience bag, hesitated for a while and then put them down.
"Just buy green peppers. I'll pick two more eggs, scrambled eggs with green peppers." Anding said.
An Ding turned to pick the eggs.Chen Hao picked up the green peppers and asked the salesperson to weigh them.
Dinner is simple, noodles with scrambled eggs with green peppers.An Ding feels that life goes from being rich and rich to having nothing in just one thought.A few days ago, I was still a big fish and meat at home, but I started eating noodles in the past two days.But he didn't feel bitter, even if he thought about it, he wouldn't care.
"Does anyone in your family want a dog?" An Ding asked.
"Why, you want to give me your dog who likes to drive?" Chen Hao asked back.
"It's a good idea. My brother regards the dog as a treasure. The night I came to Wuxi, the dog didn't come home all night. My brother worried for a long time. He came back only after a day, covered in mud."
"Since you can't bear it, why do you ask me if I want to have a dog?"
"That's a bitch, and it's estimated that she will give birth to puppies in the first half of the year." An Ding smiled kindly, "I guess it would be embarrassing to run out the day before yesterday."
"You have a very rich imagination. However, no one in our family has a dog. You can keep it for yourself."
"let it go."
After dinner, An Ding cleaned up the dishes and prepared to clean up the kitchen.At this moment, the phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was Feng Chun calling.Feng Chun is An Ding's classmate, a roommate in college, and his family lives in Wuxi New District.
"How do you know that I'm in Wuxi, and you want to treat me to dinner?" An Ding joked.
"I'm not in the mood to eat with you." Feng Chun said seriously, "Da Ye is gone."
"Gone? Where did you go?" An Ding asked.
"Da Ye passed away," Feng Chun said.
An Ding gasped, "Passed away?" An Ding couldn't believe what he heard, and asked repeatedly.A few days ago, I sent text messages to greet and bless each other, but if they said no, they would be gone.
"Well, on the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year, their family was eating out. I heard from his father that he was fine when he left the restaurant. On the way home by taxi, he passed out suddenly. When he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he was already dead. The doctor said It was a heart attack." Feng Chun briefly told An Ding what had happened.
An Ding was silent, tears streaming from his eyes.He was a little bit unwilling to believe that Ye Zhiqiu would pass away suddenly, such a healthy and sunny person, he just left.In An Ding's memory, this college classmate is the most life-saving one among all. Once Feng Chun had stomach bleeding after drinking, and it was already late at night when several people sent Feng Chun to the hospital.While waiting, An Ding brought Ye Zhiqiu a cup of boiling water, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't want it, saying that the water in the hospital was unhygienic.How could such a person who always paid attention to his health die suddenly?There are question marks in An Ding's mind.
"Why are you crying?" Feng Chun said on the phone, "Let's go to the memorial service together the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up in the morning."
An Ding still couldn't stop crying.
Seeing An Ding crying, Chen Hao handed An Ding a tissue and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sitting on the bed in the living room, An Ding cried even harder.
"My classmate died." An Ding said to Chen Hao twitching.
Chen Hao didn't know what to comfort for a while, he went to An Ding's side, and patted An Ding's shoulder.
An Ding couldn't help but wanted to find someone to rely on, so she put her head on Chen Hao's shoulder.
"When we were in school, we were roommates. We played basketball together, skipped classes to play games together, and cheated on exams together. We've only graduated for more than a year, and we're gone."
An Ding cried in front of Chen Hao about her youthful and frivolous past. For some reason, deep in Chen Hao's heart, there was fleeting jealousy, even he himself did not notice the sour feeling in his heart.
After crying for a while, An Ding calmed down a bit.He stood up, walked into the room, and lay down on the bed.
Chen Hao helped An Ding tidy up the house, boiled a pot of water, poured a cup of tea for An Ding and put it on the table in Anding's room.
"Go to bed early. I'll go back first."
An Ding let out a "hmm".
Chen Hao closed the door and left the stable residence.
An Ding lay on the bed, crying from time to time.That night, he didn't wash up, didn't take off his clothes, and fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.His heart was empty.
The next day, when An Ding woke up, she thought a lot.Human life is so impermanent, everyone is mortal, it's just a matter of time.After waking up, An Ding accepted the fact that her classmate had passed away.
When he arrived at the company, Chen Hao asked An Ding if he was okay. He was worried all night.Chen Hao originally wanted to stay with him at Anding last night, but felt it was inappropriate, so he went back to his place of residence.
An Ding said it was fine.He asked Zhao Wentao for another day off, but Zhao Wentao had no intention of saying no.
There was nothing happy in the company that day, Li Yun resigned, and the atmosphere was very depressed.In fact, in the fourth day of junior high school, Li Yun had already told Zhao Wentao about it.The work meal at noon was not so smooth, Zhao Wentao ordered a few dishes for dinner, but the dishes were served quite slowly, which suits Zhao Wentao's mind.For this meal, Zhao Wentao not only saw Li Yun off, but also talked about the so-called work arrangement. The most important thing was that the meal cost was saved a lot.
An Ding didn't have the mood to pay attention to his flamboyance.
-
When I woke up in the morning, it was drizzling.The world is hazy and can't see clearly.
Feng Chun picked up An Ding by car, and then drove to Ye Zhiqiu's house. Several close classmates rushed over.They didn't see Ye Zhiqiu's parents, and they heard that they had gone to the temple.Several people burned incense in front of the brother's coffin.
Ye Zhiqiu lay peacefully in the coffin, and took a look at An Ding, just like back then.
An Ding and the others accompanied Ye Zhiqiu, taking him all the way from home to the funeral parlor and then to the cemetery, watching him being packed in a small box and put into the tomb.
An Ding sent an old friend to a distant place. He stood in front of the tombstone, burned a stick of incense, and bowed.An Ding felt that she should shed tears to echo the parting scene in the misty rain.But he never shed another tear, perhaps the tears had been dried up the night before, and all that was left was to wish Ye Zhiqiu happiness in the distant heaven.
When Ye Zhiqiu was buried in the ground, An Ding felt relieved.An Ding knows that every Ching Ming Festival, there is one more person in this world to remember.
In the afternoon, on the way back, Feng Chun said to An Ding: "If I knew that Daye left so early, I should have dragged him to whores when I was in school."
An Ding smiled "puh-bah", but then it was right to think about it, living in the present, who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Of course, An Ding knew that Feng Chun was just joking.
☆, respectively
Not long after going to work after the Spring Festival, Li Yun really left the company.He is a very persistent person. He would rather not work for four months than work for Zhao Wentao. An Ding admires this man from the bottom of his heart.
Not long after, Guo Chen also left the company.Guo Chen's resignation was sudden and legendary, within a few days.I heard from him that the company he switched to sent someone to pick him up for an interview, the purpose of which was to dispel Zhao Wentao's suspicion.After all the dust settled, he proposed to Zhao Wentao to resign.The confidentiality work is well done.
The behaviors of Li Yun and Guo Chen are two extremes.Later Ding Wei's departure made An Ding dumbfounded again.
About two weeks later, Ding Wei suddenly ran from Nanjing to Wuxi, and immediately entered Zhao Wentao's office.The two talked for a long time.That night, Ding Wei stayed in the company and worked overtime until very late.
Ding Wei returned to his residence at night, exhausted.
"Why did you come to Wuxi again? I didn't say anything in advance." An Ding sat in the living room reading a book.
"I sent an email to Dr. Zhao asking for a raise. Then he called me over."
"Dr. Zhao's money is not easy to get. If you want to increase your salary, you have to pay more." Anding knows this very well.
"Yeah, no, I'll be forced to work overtime after we've negotiated an extra 300 yuan." Ding Wei smiled wryly.
"Have you finished your meal? I still have some dumplings." An Ding asked.
"There are also dumplings, and the treatment is good. Now my heart feels a little relieved. Where did it come from?"
"I packed it myself."
"Let's have some."
Settle down in the kitchen and make dumplings.
"I haven't wrapped it yet, I thought it was ready-made." Ding Wei looked suspicious, "Then don't eat it."
"Don't, it'll be soon." An Ding said while wrapping the dumplings, "The dumplings need to be wrapped and eaten right away, as they tend to rot if left out for a long time."
An Ding didn't know why, the dumplings he made couldn't stand the test of time.After a little longer time, the dumpling wrappers will stick to the objects they touch, and after they are separated, the stuffing will leak out.So every time I eat dumplings, they are freshly made.
When eating dumplings, Ding Wei praised Anding's dumplings, saying they were delicious.Making dumplings may be Anding's only specialty in cooking.
When Ding Wei came, he brought a pack of bacon.The next day, Anding bought bamboo shoots and stewed them directly.In the evening, Ding Wei still came back very late, and fell asleep after eating a little.
For several nights in a row, Ding Wei worked overtime.
One morning, Ding Wei stood by the toilet for a long time.
"Are you ready?" An Ding asked, "The one who occupies the toilet and doesn't pee?"
"It hurts. I can't urinate." Ding Wei grinned with embarrassment.
An Ding was a little confused, but then seemed to realize it again.He pointed to the urinal that Ding Wei took out and said, "You mean your pain?"
Ding Wei nodded.
"What did you do last night?" An Ding asked.
"I didn't do anything, and I don't have the habit of that." Ding Wei looked innocent.
After holding back for a long time, Ding Wei finally took a pee, which was very yellow.
"It should be working overtime these days. I'm too tired." Ding Wei said, lifting his pants, "I will stop working after this month and I get paid. It's not worthwhile to go on like this and exhaust my body."
"Then have you found your next home?"
"Not yet, I have been submitting resumes."
An Ding didn't say anything, maybe leaving this company is the best choice.He supported Ding Wei from the bottom of his heart, but he was a little disappointed.
"Taking Dr. Zhao an extra salary of 300 yuan will make him feel bad."
This is the biggest punishment that Ding Weineng gave Zhao Wentao.
But the facts are not as Ding Wei expected.On the day when the salary was paid, Ding Wei checked the salary card and found that the 300 yuan had not been credited to the account.Ding Wei went directly to Zhao Wentao, and Zhao Wentao said that it would not start until next month.Ding Wei offered to resign on the spot, but Zhao Wentao had no intention of keeping him.
That day, Ding Wei walked very lonely, and An Ding wanted to ask him to have a meal with him, but he left in a hurry, dragging a simple suitcase and leaving.
In order to complain to Ding Wei, An Ding told others that Ding Wei was forced to leave by Zhao Wentao, and that he would not give him 300 yuan.And that is the truth.
It's funny to say, because everyone regards Zhao Wentao as a common enemy, so they are very united.There is no such indifference and intrigue in other companies.
But it also verified the old saying that there is no feast that never ends.Fate comes, fate disperses, fate is like water.
-
Anding is also not optimistic about the company's development, in fact, everyone is not optimistic.An Ding didn't have the enthusiasm for work, he wanted to resign like Ding Wei did.But Chen Hao persuaded him that it would not be too late to resign after finding another family.
After listening to Chen Hao's words, An Ding waited and watched while working in the company.Fortunately, Chen Hao did not leave.
An Ding had received an interview notice, and he went too.It was a Saturday, and in a stable way of thinking, it was usually an informal company that organized the interview on Saturday.And most people are looking forward to an interview opportunity on Saturday.
Anding has also figured out some interview routines for HR in private companies, which first hit your self-confidence, and then lower your salary.
In that interview, a middle-aged man engaged in technology talked about the school he graduated from.
"Your alma mater doesn't seem to have any historical background."
An Ding said: "Our school's mechanical major ranks among the top in the country."
Later, the middle-aged man asked An Ding another question. An Ding answered in the affirmative, but he objected, and An Ding still answered in the affirmative. Finally, the middle-aged man said that maybe he remembered it wrong.
During the interview, the middle-aged man made many mistakes in An Ding's answers, and An Ding also readily accepted them. For example, some questions about machining, An Ding himself was not familiar with.
In fact, work is a process of mutual selection, and An Ding feels that this middle-aged man with yellow teeth is showing off.Anding is also not optimistic about the prospect of joining this company.In fact, that company didn't see him either.
An Ding interviewed several companies, but to no avail.
He thought that God was waiting for the best arrangement for him.Perhaps, there is still a story to happen between him and Chen Hao.
In fact, Chen Hao also ran several companies in Changzhou.He is determined to go to Changzhou.Years ago, he went to the company that Tang Juan helped him find, but there was no result.Had to stay in the company to continue working.
Wang Huan said when everyone was parting ways: "We are the only ones left to work in the company. We work alone, and a few people keep an eye on us."
Zhao Wentao is still unwilling to manage and calculate.At the beginning of the year, he actually won a project of 50 yuan, and everyone's salary can be paid in full, but he never mentioned the part that was deducted before.
The familiar people in the company are almost gone, and the new colleagues are not so easy to chat with.Chen Hao and An Ding get along even tighter, often drinking and playing games together.
☆, buy a car
An Ding's birthday happened to be Saturday, and he was called home early in the morning by his mother.
It's a long way from Jiangnan University to Chong'an District where his home is located. Before Anding, I was always dizzy by the winding roads when I was riding a bicycle. This time I simply took the subway back.
As soon as you open the door, you can smell the aroma of food.
"Have you had breakfast yet?" An Ding's mother, Zhang Xuping, was busy in the kitchen.
"Not yet. As soon as you called, I got up and rushed over." An Ding went straight to the room, put down the bag he was carrying, and then walked to the room where his younger brother was safe.
"An Hao, I woke up, I played games again last night." An Ding said to An Hao who was wrapped in the quilt.
Anhao didn't open her eyes either, she said something squeaky, and then fell silent again.An Ding didn't care either, he never interfered with his younger brother's way of life.
An Ding turned on the computer in An Hao's room and started watching the video.
"Drink this bowl of pork rib soup." Zhang Xuping put the bowl on the computer table, then pointed to An Hao who was lying on the bed and said, "I played games last night until one or two in the morning, and went to bed without washing my feet. , I don’t know how he lived in school, and he didn’t even have time to eat.”
"Let him go, it's useless to talk about it." An Ding picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, "This soup is well stewed, quite thick."
"The ribs I bought at the vegetable market early in the morning have been stewed for an hour." Seeing An Ding boasting that the soup is delicious, Zhang Xuping didn't bother to complain that An Ding was ready.
"Is there anything else to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"There are dumplings in the refrigerator. I made them yesterday. I'll cook them for you. Let's have lunch together when your dad comes back."
"Yeah. Don't worry about lunch. It's not until nine o'clock, so it's still early." An Ding held the bowl with one hand and clicked the mouse with the other.
Zhang Xuping turned out the frozen dumplings in the refrigerator.He went to the bed again, and pulled the quilt covering An Hao's body. "Well, I'm cooking dumplings, get up quickly. It won't taste good if it's boiled."
Anhao's lazy and impatient voice came from under the quilt: "Understood."
"Look at him, he is idle all day long, and he does not miss his job." Zhang Xuping pointed to An Hao and said to An Ding.
An Ding smiled again.Shrugging his shoulders, he couldn't help it.
While Zhang Xuping was cooking the dumplings, Anding's cell phone rang, and the call was from Chen Hao.An Ding was a little surprised, and wondered if there was something wrong, or if he knew it was my birthday, he called here, but he didn't tell him.
"Hello, Chen Hao. What's the matter?" An Ding asked when the phone was connected.
"Come out and accompany me to buy a bicycle."
"How did you come up with the idea of buying a bicycle?"
"The last time I was with you, I saw your car and thought it was good. At that time, I wanted to buy it. Now that spring is here, I will buy a car to go around Taihu Lake."
"I have a pursuit. What kind are you going to buy?"
"Just the one you ride, Giant's, the price is around 2000. By the way, where did you buy that car?"
"I bought it at Nanchan Temple, there is a specialty store there."
"Okay. Are you at your residence now? It's convenient to come out, let's go and have a look together?"
"No. I'm at home, why don't we meet at Nanchan Temple. My house is very close to Nanchan Temple, and it's only five or six stops by subway."
"Okay then, we'll contact you when we get there. Don't be in a hurry, I haven't had breakfast yet." After speaking, Chen Hao laughed twice and hung up the phone.
"Your colleague?" Zhang Xuping brought a plate of dumplings to An Ding.
"Well. Tell me to accompany him to buy a bicycle."
"Are you coming back for lunch then?"
"Come back."
"Then call your colleagues over for dinner."
"Okay." Anding chewed on the dumplings. "Mom, how did you make the dumpling stuffing? Last time I made leek dumplings by myself, there was a lot of soup in the fried stuffing, and the dumplings were rotten."
An Ding doesn't mind telling his mother about his embarrassing things.
"For vegetarian vegetables like leeks, after chopping, pour some salt to marinate for a while, and then squeeze out the water inside with your hands. This way, the fried stuffing will have no water."
"Well, I'll try again in two days."
"Anhao, get up and have breakfast." Zhang Xuping shouted at Anhao, but seeing no response, she knocked on Anhao twice through the quilt, "Hurry up, I told you to go to bed early at night, but I didn't listen. What's the matter now?" It's time. Hurry up."
Seeing that there was still no response, Zhang Xuping knocked again.
An Hao was helpless, sat up lazily, squinted her eyes, her hair was messed up like a sparrow's nest, the quilt was covering her legs, and she didn't intend to move further for a while.
"Get up quickly." An Ding couldn't help but said, "Go to bed after eating."
"We don't let people have a good rest on weekends." Anhao dragged the quilt carelessly, tossing it over and over again, "Mom, is my white sweater gone? I remember I took it off last night and threw it on the bed. Why can't I find it?" arrive?"
"I washed it when I cleaned up the room in the morning. It was still white, but it was all gray." Zhang Xuping took out a piece of clothing from the closet and threw it on the bed. "Put this on."
"Oh." Anhao slowly got up.
After eating, An Ding washed the dishes and put them in the kitchen.After tidying up a bit, I greeted Zhang Xuping and went out.
-
On Saturday, Nanzenji Temple is full of people coming and going, showing the prosperity of the commercial street.
When An Ding arrived, Chen Hao had already waited for a while.
"I bought it at that store last time." An Ding pointed to the Giant car dealership not far away, "Let's go there first and have a look. There is also a Merida, which seems to be near here, but I can't remember the exact location." , look for it later.”
"I checked on the Internet before I came, and the other one is on Nanchang Street."
When I entered the garage, no one came to greet me.There were two young men in the car dealership, and one was leading a woman in her 40s to introduce the performance of a car.Next to the woman stood her son, eager to try a mountain bike; another boy was assembling parts for a bike.The proprietress at the counter tapped on the computer keyboard to print out a letter for a couple standing in front of the counter.
"Why doesn't it have your color? Blue and white, it's pretty." Chen Hao turned around, a little disappointed.
"Why, you want to match me with a couple car." An Ding teased with a smile.Then I asked the guy who assembled the accessories: "Handsome guy, is the 770 still in stock?"
"That model has been discontinued, let's look at other products." The young man didn't look up.
An Ding shrugged at Chen Hao.
"Then is there a blue and white frame?" Chen Hao squeezed the brake of a car to feel it.
"Not yet."
"This one is more than 1?" Anding pulled Chen Hao's sleeve, pointed to the price on a car hanging on the wall, and whispered.
"It's so expensive. But you can tell it's a good car just by looking at it. The visual effect is there." Chen Hao reached out and touched the frame.
An Ding nodded.
Chen Hao searched for a car that suited him, and tried one after another.
"If you think it suits you, you can go to the outer gate for a ride, it's fine." An Ding felt that just touching the handlebars, pinching the brakes, dialing the transmission, etc., would not be able to appreciate the quality of the car.
"No rush, let's go to Merida to have a look first, compare and then try to ride."
Chen Hao said so, but An Ding didn't insist.Just about to go out together, two people appeared at the door, accompanied by a burly man, and entered the car dealership.
The big man was tall and thick, with a thick back and a hunchback. He glanced around, pointed to a car hanging diagonally on the wall and said, "I want to try that one, get it for me."
Chen Hao and An Ding looked in the direction of the big man's finger, and they were both dumbfounded. The wheels of the car were similar to motorcycle wheels, and the cross-sectional diameter of the tire was a full 15 centimeters.
The guy who originally assembled the parts in the car dealership confirmed it: "Are you talking about that beach bike by itself?"
"Yes, that's the one." The big man said loudly.
An Ding felt strange, and pulled Chen Hao out without rushing.
The big man pushed the car to the door of the garage, and the two accompanying people stood aside and commented on the car in a low voice.
"Brother, this car is called pulling the wind when it is on the road." The big man stepped on the car, sat on the car mat with his buttocks, and said arrogantly to the two people beside him.
"It feels pretty good." One person answered, and the other echoed.
After the big man sat firmly on the car, An Ding obviously saw the tires sink a little.
Chen Hao said quietly, "Only this kind of bicycle here is worthy of this big brother."
Chen Hao showed a slight smile.
The big man turned back after riding for more than ten meters, and said directly to the proprietress, "I bought this car, proprietress."
The proprietress was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. "3200 yuan, credit card or cash?"
"Cash." The big man took out a large stack of money from his bag, looking like a nouveau riche.He counted the money and handed it to the boss, and stuffed the rest into his pocket.Act boldly.
"Do you want to send accessories or something?" a person next to him asked.
"Send me a water bottle cage and a tail light." The proprietress counted the money.
They're all little gadgets.
The big man bought the car generously and left, regardless of whether the car is practical or not.
The road to Merida was neither far nor near, and the two walked over.
"You don't have any plans for noon?" An Ding asked.
"No, after buying the car, I can ride around the city at most."
"Then go to my house for lunch. Today is my birthday, and my mother prepared a lot of dishes. When I went out just now, my mother asked me to ask you to have dinner together."
"It's your birthday today. Happy birthday." Chen Hao nudged An Ding's head with his hand, "Shall I buy you a cake to celebrate."
"Another year older, nothing to celebrate. It's just a family dinner together."
In my 20s, once my birthday is over, I will have more troubles.
"I'm serious, go to my house for lunch." An Ding emphasized again.
"I still won't go. It's embarrassing to go to your house."
"If you're told to go, you can go. Do you want me to say it a third time? Do you want me to send you an invitation?" An Ding joked.
"Okay, I'll go after I receive the invitation."
The ten-minute journey was just a matter of talking and laughing.
The Merida car dealership is no more in a busy city than Giant, the place is a bit remote, the store is very deserted, two guys are looking at the mobile phone near the door, and the other is looking at the computer at the cash register.Occasionally there are one or two guests, and they leave after a circle.
When entering the door, the guy looking at the mobile phone was enthusiastic, put down the mobile phone and asked, "What kind of car do you two want to buy?"
"Let's have a look first, and then buy if you find something suitable." Chen Hao was a little disappointed, and glanced at the cars in the dealership, feeling a big gap in his heart.
"The two of you can take a look. If it suits you, you can try riding it." Seeing that Chen Hao didn't intend to buy it, the clerk was very sensible and stopped talking, picked up his phone again and clicked on it.
When they came, Chen Hao looked around at the bicycles placed in the store, and after confirming that there was no suitable one, he signaled An Ding to leave.
"Let's go back to Giant."
"Ah."
On the way, in a small shop, the two each took a bottle of water.An Ding was about to pay, but was stopped by Chen Hao.Chen Hao paid the money, but An Ding didn't say anything.
"I think the 850 is not bad, but I don't like the color too much." Chen Hao expressed his thoughts.
"Don't worry about the color, do you really want to match mine with a couple's car?" An Ding smiled gloatingly, "Fortunately, there are no blue and white ones, otherwise everyone will die of laughter when riding to the company."
"Don't worry, I won't buy the same color as you."
When he came to Giant again, Chen Hao looked again, and told Anding about the models he thought he could accept.
"Which color should you choose for these two models?" Chen Hao was still struggling with the color issue.
An Ding was a little speechless, but still expressed his opinion: "This one is fine, it matches the color of your usual clothes."
"Then this one."
After making the decision, Chen Hao said to a clerk in the store: "I'll try riding this car first."
The guy helped push the car to the door.Chen Hao took the car, tried it out, and was quite satisfied.
"Will the parking rack, fenders and locks be delivered?" Chen Hao asked the man.
"No, you have to buy this yourself. We usually only send water bottle cages and taillights."
"Then help me match all these."
An Ding took advantage of the assistant pushing the cart to assemble the accessories, and whispered to Chen Hao: "These accessories are very expensive to buy in specialty stores, so it's better to buy other brands online."
Chen Hao thought it was reasonable, so he said to the clerk, "Let's get a lock first."
After paying the payment, before going out, the proprietress did not forget to remind: "When you are in a hurry, brake one after another, and then brake forward."
"Okay, got it." Chen Hao smiled at the proprietress as a thank you.
☆, go to An Ding's house
Just before going out and walking a few steps, An Ding's cell phone rang, picked it up and checked, it was An Ding calling.
"Brother, where have you been?"
"Still at Nanchan Temple, ready to go back."
"Oh." An Hao paused, as if talking to someone else, and then said into the microphone, "Mom asked you to call your colleague over for dinner."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, An Ding said to Chen Hao: "Go, go to my house for dinner. This is my mother's invitation to you, please give the old lady some face."
"This is not very good. Besides, it's inconvenient. I'm riding a bike. You'd better take the subway back first."
The scene was a bit embarrassing, two people shared a car, only one could ride the car, and there was no tail seat.
"Let's make a call and put the bike in the trunk." An Ding suggested.
Chen Hao hesitated for a moment.
"Why don't you try sitting in the front?" Chen Hao sat on the car mat, with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal of the car, pointing to the front bumper.
An Ding looked at the front bumper of the car with a look of embarrassment on his face.The slope of the front bumper of the car is too big.
"Let's take a taxi." An Ding was sure, because it was uncomfortable to sit on the front bumper.
"What kind of car to take, just get on it."
Without waiting for An Ding to respond, Zhang Chenhao pulled An Ding into the car.
The result was as stable as expected, very uncomfortable.An Ding was lying on the dragon's head, his movements were weird, he wanted to move, but Chen Hao had already got on the pedals and rode.Chen Hao's feet would touch An Ding's legs, and An Ding resisted the awkwardness, and raised his legs a little higher.
At the entrance of the downtown area, there was a lot of people, Chen Hao rode the bike very slowly, the faucet was crooked, like a drunk.
"You know how to go." Chen Hao asked.
"I don't remember clearly, let me turn on the navigation."
"Your family is not from Wuxi, why don't you know the roads in Wuxi?"
