suddenly tired

Chapter 18 7 Scenes-2

For the first meal in the new home, Zhao Yuan and his daughter were invited together as a thank you for providing him with a place to live and a parking space. Zhong Lei called Ji Sumian up early on Saturday morning.

He sat on the edge of the bed and gently pushed: "Hey, are you awake?"

No response or movement.

"Don't sleep, go buy vegetables with me! You have to tidy up the house when you buy it, and it's impolite for the guests to come back in such a mess." He saw Ji Sumian turned over and covered his head, pretending not to hear, and went to pull the quilt with his hands, "Stop pretending, get up!"

In fact, Ji Sumian has already woken up, and is experiencing a special kind of anxiety in the morning. Seeing that the quilt is about to be torn off, he quickly turns around and reveals his head: "Okay, okay, get up now."

A look of reluctance.

"Didn't you want to invite someone to dinner?" Zhong Lei slapped him angrily.

"Ah—" Ji Sumian's complexion changed from the pain, and he burst into tears, "Where did you hit it! You are responsible for breaking it!"

"Fuck!" Zhong Lei got up and left.

This ridiculous morning ended with Ji Sumian eating the meat buns he had dreamed of. He didn't have time to sit at home and taste it slowly. He followed Zhong Lei out all the way, carrying two big meat buns and a glass of milk, and Zhong Lei's car was full of choking. The taste of steamed stuffed buns was disgusted.

The kitchen space in the new home was larger, so Ji Sumian moved a small bench and sat in the corner peeling garlic and onions.He likes to watch Zhong Lei cook, as if the process is something worth admiring; he deliberately cooks slowly, waiting for Zhong Lei to give him angry eyes, which is a kind of tacit understanding; or, simply thinking Looking at the hand he stretched out towards him, it was obviously for the ingredients to be washed, but Ji Sumian could imagine it as an invitation to put his hand in his palm. ——What kind of green onion, ginger and garlic do you want, can’t you just want me?

The weather was too hot, so Zhong Lei made some cold dishes.Perfume lemon smells very refreshing. He cut it into small pieces and made small seafood with sauce, added millet pepper, yellow pepper and white radish, a small transparent glass basin, the color is like a park in early spring; broccoli and water Boiled eggs are also served cold. These two seemingly insipid ingredients are mixed together and poured with a sauce that Ji Sumian can't see how to make. .The duck tongue and beef are marinated the night before, the beef is mixed with coriander, and the duck tongue is delicious without any seasoning.When the cooking started, the father and daughter of the Zhao family came in, and there was no place for Ji Sumian to stay in the kitchen. When the two cooks met, the kitchen was their sacred and inseparable territory, which could not be violated by others.

When the guests came, it was not easy to steal food openly, so I had nothing to do with Zhao Xinyu to find something to talk to.Zhao Xinyu worked the night shift last night and didn't get enough sleep, so she asked a bit sleepily, "Have you caught up yet?"

"Oh, I still got it, I don't know how to do it, he looks so straight, I don't understand the style at all."

"It's good for you. I moved for your family."

"But he doesn't mean that to me..."

"You asked?"

"Then how dare you ask?"

"Hey, I'm so anxious. If you want me to tell you, you should find a chance to confess your love. Anyway, you are now co-renting, so don't be afraid that he will easily drive you away."

"This... Actually not, he won't let me pay the rent, and I still have the risk of being evicted at any time."

"Ah this..."

Ji Sumian was not as at a loss as he said, he knew very well whether Zhong Lei was a straight man, and saw his gaze lingering on him more than once, but he would deliberately avoid it when he got close, trying to hide it.But he still didn't dare to take a step closer, Zhong Lei was like a sleepy cheetah, he didn't know if waking him up suddenly would run away or bring about some kind of disaster.

After dinner, seeing off the guests, Ji Sumian said: "Brother Lei, godfather said you cook so well, you can go and open a tavern with him."

"I'm just being polite. I'm so slow in cooking. If you want to be a cook, you don't have to be anxious to kill the boss and the guests."

"His old man doesn't cook fast, but there are not many people ordering food in the tavern, most of them go to drink."

"Stop talking nonsense, go to bed quickly, and go to class in the afternoon."

"There is no class today, and neither will tomorrow."

"Why? You were fired for teaching poorly?"

"No, it is said that a new education policy has been introduced, and all training will be suspended for a few days. I can take a few days off."

"Oh, I heard the news that there is no off-campus training policy in the compulsory education stage. Then you will be unemployed in the future."

"How come, let's just rectify it. There will be no unemployment in the education and training industry. The competition for further education is so fierce now. Let me tell you, the more parents who are dissatisfied with their current situation, the more they invest in their children's education. Don't worry, I won't lose my job!"

"Okay, I'm pretty optimistic."

"Hey, they called me to play again. I'm too full to move..."

"If you are full, you should go to activities. Hurry up and don't lie down at home." Zhong Lei pulled him up from the sofa and dragged him to the bedroom like a dog who went out to play and didn't want to go home. "Change clothes and leave in 10 minutes!"

Facts proved that Ji Sumian was still too optimistic. The training center announced its closure after a week of class suspension. Ji Sumian was not a full-time employee and only settled the class fee. Other teachers were responsible for student refunds.He hadn't started to be formally depressed yet. He went to the hospital once and had to watch the bank card balance slowly increase from the beginning. Passing by the convenience store in the outpatient building, he looked up at the sign, 711, and suddenly remembered what his brother Lei had teased him about. , smiled, took out his phone, took a photo and sent it to Zhong Lei.

Aiden711: Brother Lei, what should I do? I’m really unemployed. I just went to the hospital to pay the debt. When I saw this in a blink of an eye, do you think I should ask if they are hiring part-time jobs?

Took a while to get a reply.

ZL: When driving, don't ask, go home and tell.

Zhong Lei had a premonition when the policy was introduced that the child's part-time job might not be guaranteed, but he couldn't bear to see his confident look, so he didn't say anything, let him hope for a few more days.In the past few years in Xingyuan, he has seen the impact of various policies on ordinary workers. A civilized city inspection can stop Xiao Chen and Lao Zhang from working for half a month, leaving vegetable stalls with nowhere to go. , also closed the night market where many people make a living. During that time, the apricot orchard was no longer lively and deserted. After a while, the environmental protection standards changed, and brother Yu and his furniture factory couldn’t start work, so they stayed at home. , these people who rely on wages to support their families, once they stop working, Xingyuan does not know how many more people suffer from insomnia.

He asked Ji Sumian: "Have you understood what the other trainers plan to do in the future?"

"It is said that many institutions are turning to art training, such as teaching art in English, but I don't know how to do it."

"Most of them won't."

"Or teach children how to play basketball in English? I can do that."

"Oh, it's hard to force the English teacher into anything."

"That can't be helped, so I heard that many people are preparing to take the teacher qualification certificate test and go to school to teach."

"What about you?"

"I... didn't graduate from a bachelor's degree, and my education didn't meet the requirements."

While talking, his phone rang.

"For me, huh? Oh, okay, I'll be right there, just wait a moment and I'll be right there!"

"what happened?"

Ji Sumian's face was a little pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "My mother, she said it was a cardiac arrest and is being rescued..."

My mother was admitted to the neurosurgery ICU again. Ji Sumian sat on a bench in the corridor of the hospital with her head down. After a tense rescue, her life was not in danger, but she needed to be closely observed. The ICU nurse stuck her head out and shouted : "Is Su Wanyi's family here?"

After nightfall, the corridor didn't turn on all the lights, and it was a little dark. Ji Sumian was startled by the sudden voice, and stood up after a moment of stupefaction: "Yes, I am."

"I'll give you an ICU admission statement. You can look at the visiting hours and requirements. There are also phone numbers for doctors and nurses on it. If you have any questions, you can contact them. This is a list of expenses. You can go back after paying it."

Ji Sumian couldn't get into the ICU, and he couldn't see anything when he looked around the door. He just stood there in a daze, silent and lonely.Seeing this, Zhong Lei came over, raised his arms and hugged, "Go home, come back tomorrow."

"I won't come tomorrow, Brother Lei, no matter what you do, I have to find a new part-time job tomorrow." He sighed softly, "Let's go."

Ji Sumian walked in front, walking fast, as if he was on his way, with his head lowered slightly, raising his arms from time to time, Zhong Lei didn't know if he was sad, he wanted to just follow along without disturbing , but suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, there was a child leaning against his car door, crying sadly in the parking lot of the law firm... Zhong Lei walked to the side of the car, and when he was about to open the door, he stretched out his hand to hold the door. With a little force on his wrist, Ji Sumian fell gently into his arms.

"It's okay, don't worry." Just like Ji Sumian gave him a hug when he cleaned up the house in Xingyuan last time, Zhong Lei immediately let him go, "Wait for me in the car first, I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes."

The admission window was lit 24 hours a day, and there was no one there at night. He didn't have the bill, so he had to ask the staff to check the information first.

"ICU for brain surgery, yes, neurosurgery, I don't know which bed, surnamed Su, Su from Jiangsu, called... what is it..."

"Su Zongkang or Su Wanyi?"

"It's Su Wanyi, a lady."

"Are you sure? Su Zongkang is also a woman."

"Sure, it's Su Wanyi, I just couldn't remember it."

"The current arrears are more than 1000, how much do you pay?"

"How much can I pay?"

"You can make up the arrears first, and you can pay as much as you want."

"Then pay [-]. Swipe the card."

"Sir, the balance is insufficient."

"Huh? The [-]?"

"can."

Ji Sumian didn't know until he got home that he said don't worry, don't worry about money.He didn't know where it came from for a burst of sadness, and he was so wronged that he couldn't add any more.

"Why do you pay for me? I don't want you to pay for me! How much do you want me to owe you!"

Zhong Lei didn't know how to suppress his evil fire, so he could only smile and say: "The debt is not overwhelming, there is not much difference between owing [-] and [-]."

"I haven't paid back what I owe you. You have taken care of food, housing and living for me this year, and all the money I earned have been handed over to the hospital. If the money goes to the hospital, it's not money, it's just a number on the bill! He held the piece of paper in his hand, as if crushing it would make it disappear, "I don't want your money thrown in!"

"Didn't you transfer money to my card a few times? Besides, whoever pays is not paying. Money is a number. Why are your numbers better than mine?"

"Then I didn't ask you to pay, I will figure out a way myself, why don't you ask me!"

"What do you think? You won't be able to make money if you look for a part-time job for a while, and ask who borrowed it or not. No, you have no one to borrow. Okay, go to sleep, don't make trouble."

Ji Sumian was still very emotional, he was like a cat in a state of stress, his hair all exploded: "I just——I don't want to owe you any more, why are you doing this, why don't I have anyone to borrow, I You can also go back to the tavern to find Miss Xiaoyu!"

As soon as he heard Zhao Xinyu's name, Zhong Lei felt like he was poured a basin of ice water on his head: "Go and go, I encourage you to go, but before you go, can you find out that people don't mean anything to you at all! Unrequited love Treat yourself as if someone cherishes you!"

Ji Sumian was dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

It's over, and the words are serious again, Zhong Lei is also stunned, knowing that he has made a worthless anger that hurts others and hurts himself.
