suddenly tired

Chapter 8 Apricot Garden-5

Zhong Lei looked down and kicked the people on the ground: "Hey, go home and sleep, don't fucking sleep by my door." Then he grabbed Ji Sumian's wrist and entered the room.

After turning on the light, I realized how miserable the child was. Both palms were bruised, and the knee part of the right trouser leg was torn. The light gray fabric was rubbed with brown mud and mixed with oozing blood. It was a well-crafted uniform. So colorfully ruined.Ji Sumian didn't mind this little injury, but he still had to wear his uniform for work tomorrow, and he didn't have time to go to the General Affairs Department to order a new one. He cried and said, "What should I do, I can't go to work..."

"Take it off quickly. I'll go to Sister Liao from the dry cleaner. She can handle it."

"There's a hole."

"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense." Zhong Lei pulled his pants and walked out, turned to look at him before going out, "wash the wound, there is a medicine box in the attic, and you can disinfect it yourself."

Ten minutes later, he came back looking tired and out of breath.Ji Sumian asked, "Second Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Throw that person home, it's really troublesome, and I drank too much."

"Who is that?"

"The family in the middle of the back row, I don't know what it's called. It's a mental patient. It goes to the brain hospital from time to time. When it comes out, it drinks and beats its wife. It's a useless person. Next time you see him, stay away."

"I, I thought it was a corpse. How dare I see what he looks like. I'm so scared to death." Ji Sumian got up and brought him a bottle of water, walking cautiously.

"Is the wound healed?"

"Well, povidone iodine, but I couldn't find a Band-Aid."

"There is no need to stick it in this weather. It is too tightly wrapped and it will heal slowly. You just need to pay attention to it. Disinfect it again after taking a shower."

"Okay, then my pants..."

"I can't mend it right now. Sister Liao said I'll get it from her tomorrow morning."

"Can you make up for it?"

"Of course, it can't be seen that it was made up. Go to sleep."

Early the next morning, Ji Sumian was sitting in the car going to work, hugging his knees and admiring Sister Liao's handiwork, and was amazed: "My God, you can only see a little difference when you lie on it. At first glance, it's completely different. It looks like it has been repaired, and the thread ends are hidden inside, which is too strong!"

"Well, Sister Liao's needlework is very good."

"This level can completely repair those high-end brand clothes. Really, the fees are very high."

"Ah."

"You can ask her to try it out, a few pieces of clothing can be repaired for more than a month's wages at the dry cleaners."

"Okay, why are you so enthusiastic, mind your own business!"

Ji Sumian's words were blocked back, still unconvinced in his heart, he adjusted his volume to between inaudible and inaudible, muttering: "That's what I said, besides, provide a money-making Wouldn't it be nice to have more opportunities, what's wrong with me..."

Zhong Lei glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Sister Liao can't find a regular job, she can only do this kind of odd job. She escaped from unbearable domestic violence, and her ID card is fake."

"Ah! That's it... so pitiful..." Ji Sumian felt that he had made some stupid and ignorant remarks just now.

"Tch, you are such a pitiful person with negative equity, you still have to sympathize with others."

"I'm different. She met a bad person. I was the opposite. I met a good person. He took me home and lent me money. There was a car to pick me up and drop me off every day. I'm not pitiful at all!"

"Yes! You are lucky to have met someone who took advantage of you!"

Ji Sumian prides herself on her super recovery ability. The fall last night seemed miserable, but she didn't feel it in the morning. The scratches on her palms became very shallow, and the injuries on her knees stopped bleeding and tended to form scars. .As soon as he arrived at the company, he compiled the data reports of the previous day, sent them to leaders at all levels, and sent the meeting arrangements for the day to all employees. A professional smile greets everyone who walks into the building.

He had just switched the automatic door to the normal open mode when he saw Wang Yue, the administrative manager, walk in. "Morning manager."

"Morning, Su Mian."

Ji Sumian watched Wang Yue go to the elevator, staring at the paper bag in her hand, as if...something leaked out, water marks along the way.

"Manager, the water in your bag has spilled!" Ji Sumian shouted to her back.

"Ah?" When Wang Yue turned around, the bottom of the paper bag was overwhelmed, and the glass bottle fell to the ground with a slap and shattered, "Oops, Nian Nian's coconut oil!"

Ji Sumian ran over from the front desk, took a "slippery with care" sign and placed it beside him: "Manager, go up first, I'll ask my aunt to deal with it, the oil needs to be cleaned." He picked up the walkie-talkie, " Can some aunt come over near the lobby? A bottle of oil has spilled and it's very slippery."

Waited for a while, no response.He went back to the computer to look through the shift schedule, "Is Aunt Xue there? Could you please come over, there are a lot of people at the moment and I'm afraid they will step on it."

After a burst of noise: "Wait a minute, I just went upstairs."

Aunt Xue is a bit fierce, but she does things with all her heart, and she also has her own work rhythm. The girls at the front desk dare not provoke her. Ji Sumian knows that disrupting her old man's own arrangements will make her very unhappy, but there is no way , There are more and more people going to work, and some people have staggered and slipped, almost falling.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I just tried to wipe it off and it didn't work. I need your oil-removing spray."

"Come on, don't mess around with yourself!"

The aunt came down from the freight elevator and rushed this way in three steps at a time. She only saw the sign placed by Ji Sumian, and thought that the child was not stupid, but she didn't notice her feet. Ji Sumian looked at her Stepped on the oil, "Auntie, be careful!" He yelled, rushed over, and reached out to support Aunt Xue when she was about to fall down, but after all, he ran over, his center of gravity was not stable, and he couldn't bear the weight of a person , he knelt on the ground with a bang.

"Hiss——pain, pain, pain..." It was such an unfortunate coincidence that he fell impartially on the old injury from last night.

Auntie stood up, seemed to be up to her waist, and rubbed it with one hand. Ji Sumian maintained her kneeling position, unable to stand up for a while, sweating from the pain, and even trembling slightly. Chairman Li Chi, who was talking to the secretary, was at this moment walked in.

"Hey, what a great gift! Get flat."

Everyone laughed, and Ji Sumian got up with a wry smile. Only then did everyone notice that his leg was injured, and a large area of ​​blood seeped through his pants.

He was about to explain that he didn't just get hurt, but he saw Li Chi approaching with a concerned tone: "I'm hurt, I was just joking with you, Xiao Yan take them to the medical room." He said to the secretary beside him Saying that, he nodded to Ji Sumian and left.

Regardless of whether Ji Sumian explained it or not, his act of "sacrificing himself to save others" was a solid one. Everyone witnessed it with their own eyes. The most important thing was that the boss saw and remembered him, so he accepted it smoothly.

Speaking of which, it's not that Aunt Xue has a bad personality. She's just used to seeing a lot of kids coming and going at the front desk, especially boys. They complain about quitting after a job can't last long. When Ji Sumian first came, she I also concluded that this kid won't work for long, so he simply stopped communicating, but I didn't expect him to be happy and diligent every day, which is quite different from the previous ones.Especially today, she felt a little guilty when she broke her knee in order to help herself.

"I'm sorry, Auntie didn't see it. I accidentally hurt you."

Ji Sumian could see her apology, and leaned into her ear and said, "Aunt Xue, let me tell you quietly, my leg fell at the door of my house last night. It was too dark to see clearly, and I fell three meters away with a bang. , not just hurt."

"Nonsense! They're all bleeding!"

"I really didn't lie to you. Look at my trousers." He rolled up and rolled up the trouser legs to the knee to show the inside to his aunt. "Did you see it? It was mended. There was a hole in the trousers last night."

"Really, how did you mend this, the handwork is too good..."

Coming out of the medical room, Aunt Xue and Ji Sumian supported each other, chatting and laughing: "The girls call me Aunt Xue, so you should call me that too, it sounds kind."

"okay."

Secretary Yan Mao knocked on the office door: "Mr. Li, are you looking for me?"

"The boy at the front desk, are you all right?"

"It's okay, the skin was injured, and he was given medicine. I asked the General Affairs Department to give him a new uniform." Yan Mao suddenly remembered, "By the way, he is the classmate introduced by Cheng Yan."

"It's him, is his surname Su?"

"Ji Sumian."

"Oh, how's work going?"

"It is said that he is very diligent and has a sweet mouth. Everyone likes him very much. I often see him running around on various floors. He is a good boy."

"It's rare. Those who came back from the United States can endure hardships."

"I heard from Cheng Yan that he returned to China because something happened at home and he couldn't read any more."

Li Chi was silent for a while, then nodded: "That's a pity. The child is very good, good-looking and kind-hearted. You should make him a full-time regular soon. You can show me his information later."

After the trial lecture at the English training company was over and he was notified that he would start work next week, Ji Sumian felt that his day was like a dream. He became a regular and got a part-time job with a big increase in income. He was returning home The car was as excited as a talking parrot.

"Second Uncle, do you know that our boss also said that if there are any foreign customers coming in the future, let me receive them, and he can have meetings with him, learn to be a translator or something, and let the marketing manager take me when he is free. See if there is any other direction of development; and also, let me have time to familiarize myself with the overall situation of the company and serve as an assistant to Secretary Yan. You may not be able to see me on the first floor in the future. I will move to the top floor to work ..."

Zhong Lei endured his endless nagging, only smiling, the child is so happy, and since he returned to the country, everything has been bad, this is really rare good news.When the child said to invite him to a big meal, Zhong Lei interrupted him: "No need, I bought something, I will make you something to celebrate when I get home."

Ji Sumian was stunned.

Zhong Lei looked at his frozen expression: "Or do you want to go out to eat more?"

"No, no, I am, I didn't expect...you would do it yourself."

"I passed by an imported supermarket in the morning as a discount for the opening of the store. The discount is quite strong. Wagyu beef is [-]% off, but I didn't buy it. The oxtail next to it looks good..."

When the driver master talked about the ingredients, he showed some children's expressions when they saw a new toy.Ji Sumian looked at his side face. He usually wears a mask when driving, and he doesn't wear it with Ji Sumian. He said it was an allergy. In fact, Ji Sumian had discovered his scar a long time ago, on the cheek near the chin , a length of five or six centimeters, with traces of stitches, hidden under the beard, only noticeable when just after taking a shower.He didn't expect that Zhong Lei would take the initiative to cook for him at home, and he always felt that it was a very happy thing to be able to eat wontons made by him once in a while.Changing from the elation just now, Ji Sumian stared ahead in silence, a bolt of lightning split the orange-red sky in the evening, and the rainy season was approaching.
