I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 114 I Ask You One Thing

Before leaving the viewing platform, I sent a message back to Yang Sisi: "Don't worry about me. Before I opened this inn, I had already made the worst plan in my heart, and now it's not far from the worst situation, so There's nothing I can't bear... How about you, don't you feel good after returning to Shanghai?"

After sending this message, I got into my car and started the extremely long journey. I estimate that if there is no traffic jam, I will not be able to return to Dali until noon tomorrow.

At 07:30 in the evening, I arrived in a city called Panzhou in Guizhou. I first looked for a place to have dinner, and only then did I spare time to read the message Yang Sisi sent me back.

She said: "Of course it's very comfortable in Shanghai. You don't have to get up early and late to pick up customers every day, and you don't have to restrain yourself when you want to buy anything. What I like most is the feeling that I can sleep until I wake up naturally."

"Isn't that right? Shanghai is water and you are fish. Going back to Shanghai is the right choice for you."

"What about you? What is Shanghai to you?"

"A mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire."

"Dali is a sea of ​​swords and flames. Think about it. When you were in Shanghai, you were a little poor, but your life was peaceful. After arriving in Dali, what happened to you?!"

"You have not gained a firm foothold in Shanghai, but you started to speak ill of Dali again, aren't you too fickle?"

"I'm talking about Dali for you. I don't think there is anything bad about Dali. If my parents are willing to give me tens of millions to spend in Dali, I still think Dali is better than Shanghai. What I hate is the kind of Dali has to support his own feelings."

"Then you hide deep enough, I always thought you enjoyed that kind of self-reliance life!"

"Pursuing something for nothing is everyone's nature, but the vast majority of people don't have that kind of fate...Of course, self-reliance is a kind of honor, but getting something for nothing is also a kind of luck, and neither is a bad thing."

"Then you are very good. When you want to be self-reliant, you can be a front desk in Dali. When you don't want to be self-reliant, you can go home and keep your head down and get something for nothing. You can switch between the two life states!"

"That is, a tough life needs no explanation."

"Then you continue to be tough, I'll eat first."

"Where are you now?"

"Panzhou, rest here for the night today, and return to Dali tomorrow."

"Do you dare to drive to Kunming?"

"There are still more than 200 kilometers to go. Why should I drive there?"

"I have a surprise for you, if you think it is a surprise."

"You are not in Kunming, are you?"

"I'm sick, why should I go to Kunming?..."

"Then I really can't imagine what surprise you can bring to Kunming, it's too mysterious!"

"As long as you are curious, I believe you will definitely go."

"If you don't tell me, I really don't want to go."

Yang Sisi didn't reply to my message again, but I was disturbed by her usual nervousness... After thinking about it, it's not impossible to drive to Kunming for the hotel I haven't booked yet, and I don't mind being rejected at all. She was playing tricks, anyway, this night is lonely, and it doesn't make any difference if you live in Panzhou or Kunming.

……

After paying the boss for the meal, I drove on the highway again, and then started the journey of nearly 300 kilometers.On the way, I received a call from my second aunt at home.

After I put on the Bluetooth headset, I asked her, "Second Aunt, what's the matter?"

"Mi Gao... Second Aunt, can I ask you something?"

"Family, don't use the word beg with me."

"Then Second Aunt will take it as your promise!"

"Tell me first, if I can help, I will definitely help you."

The second aunt said with a smile: "No, your brother just graduated from university. I made a calculation with your uncle. We spent so much energy and money for him to go to university, not for him to stay in the small county in the future. So I want him to come to Shanghai to see the world..."

The second aunt stopped talking, and I said again: "Do you want me to give Dai Qiang (cousin's name) some advice?"

The second aunt finally said: "You have been in Shanghai for so long, and you must listen to your suggestions... If you can help him in work, it will be even better!"

"What can I do? I'm not in Shanghai anymore."

The second aunt smiled and said: "Look at you, your girlfriend is not in Shanghai, and she is still investing in hotels. Isn't this just right for Dai Qiang's major!...Look, can you let me Xiaoye arranges a job for Dai Qiang, so that we have our own family to take care of us, so we can rest assured that Dai Qiang will go to Shanghai, right?"

It was only then that I came to my senses, and then I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. Regarding the city of Shanghai, what I saw was a kind of numbness. But when you plunge into it, you will find how realistic and cruel this city is.

I finally opened my mouth and replied: "Second aunt, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Deming is really not suitable for the city of Shanghai..."

The second aunt didn't wait for me to finish, and interrupted very displeasedly: "Mi Gao, you haven't even mentioned this matter to your girlfriend, so you are too busy to refuse... Do you really forget that you have a girlfriend?" Have you lost my second aunt?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"Mi Gao... second aunt is begging you, okay?... Think about how difficult it is for second aunt's family. I was laid off ten years ago, and I opened a deli with your uncle in the county. It's hard work. Ku finally managed to train Dai Qiang to graduate from university, but your uncle's health is not good, he can't do heavy work or anything, rumors started to spread outside that he had some kind of infectious disease, and he didn't dare to come to our deli to buy things, I don't know how long this deli can last! If Dai Qiang doesn't find a decent job quickly, what will happen to our family!"

I felt uncomfortable for a while, because I knew what she was telling the truth. After thinking about it for a while, I finally said to her: "You ask Dai Qiang to talk to me, I want to hear what he thinks."

"Dai Qiang is setting up a stall outside, I'll ask him to call you right now."

"It's so late, what is he doing?"

"Business is not good now, and these stewed things can't be sold and are prone to spoilage, so he got a tricycle and went to the north of the city to sell... There are no regular customers there, and no one said that your uncle has an infectious disease, so the business is better. .”

After finishing speaking, she said, "wait a minute, I'll ask Dai Qiang to call you right now."

……

After a while, Dai Qiang called me, and I took the initiative to say to him: "Xiaoqiang, my second aunt has told me about your affairs... I don't want to ask more questions, I just want to ask you a question, it's really very important. Want to go to Shanghai?"

"I think, I live too depressed in this county town. I see my parents sighing every day, and I don't know how to share some pressure with this family... I have looked for a job, but there are no good hotels in the county town. A few companies are willing to employ me, but the salary is only more than 2000 yuan. I know that the burden of a family will definitely be on me in the future, so when I think that I can only get such a small salary, I feel very desperate?!"

"Do you know anything about Shanghai?"

"I don't understand, but I'm young, and I have many chances to start all over again."

"Dai Qiang, you can't think like that... Children born in families like ours don't have many chances to start over. I don't quite agree with you going to Shanghai."

Dai Qiang was a little excited in his words: "I want to go...I'm really not afraid of hardship...Brother, just help me, I won't embarrass you."

I was silent for a while, and I also sympathized with this younger brother whose blood is thicker than water, but how should I talk to Ye Zhi?In my bones, I don't want to ask her to help.

After some ideological struggle, I still compromised myself, because I knew Dai Qiang, he is indeed a good young man who is down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships, even if he went to Ye Zhi's place, he would contribute to some extent, so this is not a search for Ye Zhi. trouble.

I finally said, "Okay, you can send your own resume to my WeChat later, and I'll try it for you."

"Okay, brother... As long as you are willing to help me, my sister-in-law will definitely have no objection... I saw it during the video chat that day, she is very kind to you!"

I immediately corrected him: "Dai Qiang, you must not have such an idea, you have to rely on yourself for everything... because no one in this world has an obligation to be nice to anyone... Today she is your sister-in-law, tomorrow Probably not."

The reason why I say this is because I have already prepared in my heart. I want to find a suitable opportunity to clarify this misunderstanding to my family. It is impossible for me and Ye Zhi to maintain this false relationship forever. between real troubles.
