Life is more than just living

On Saturday morning, Chen Xu was surprised when she went to the cafeteria to have breakfast. Yan Donglin was waiting for her. On the weekend, Yan Donglin had a rest. He came here for only one purpose, and that was to meet Chen Xu.

Chen Xu didn't want to talk to Yan Donglin anymore, so he silently carried the dinner plate, filled the porridge, and took a hard-boiled egg and some side dishes. There were not many people eating breakfast today. Yan Donglin sat next to Chen Xu. The others quickly left and went to another table. Chen Xu felt it was too awkward. Yan Donglin reached out and took the eggs from Chen Xu's plate regardless. Chen Xu looked at Yan Donglin in confusion, but saw that he was skillfully peeling off the egg skin, and a smooth and complete egg was put back on Chen Xu's dinner plate. Chen Xu suddenly didn't want to eat, and Yan Donglin said innocently: "I just washed my hands."

Liu Yun looked over quietly. Yan Donglin pulled a napkin, pulled the egg skins together, and then looked at Chen Xu without eating, "Why do you hate me? You have to make me understand." Chen Xu. Xu took out the eggs he peeled and put them on Yan Donglin's dinner plate. Chen Xu stood up and took another egg, peeling it slowly. She didn't raise her head, "I can't say I hate or like you, but if you keep pestering me like this, I will be very troubled and I will definitely hate you. So please respect yourself. I reject your pursuit. This is My rights don't need a reason." Yan Donglin refused to eat. He looked at Chen Xu peeling the egg skin and asked, "Why not?"

Chen Xu was a little annoyed, "Yan Donglin, I don't know where you get your confidence. I think the girl you chase will be flattered and agree to you. Some people say that money is a person's courage, is it money? It is money that makes you so rich. Do you have no fear?"

Yan Donglin suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth. He looked beautiful when he smiled. "Chen Xu, I actually hate girls who talk about money, but the way you talk about money is still very cute. Give it a try, let's try it! Maybe you will find that I am quite cute! "When Chen Xu heard this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing. Yan Donglin acted like a rogue, a bit like Han Yidao back then. She suddenly put the half-peeled eggs on the dinner plate, turned around and left. Yan Donglin shouted from behind, "Hey, you haven't eaten yet?" Liu Yun came over, looked at Yan Donglin and said, "You kid, can't you just let her finish her meal?" Yan Donglin scratched his head, "What should Aunt Liu do now? I'm too embarrassed to chase her to the female dormitory. Why don't you help her deliver some food!" Liu Yun took two eggs and a carton of milk, followed Chen Xu's footsteps, and shouted Stop her and put food into her hands. Chen Xu felt a little bored, so she decided not to eat and went back to Beicheng to see her grandma.

Chen Xugang walked out of the gate of the Procuratorate and saw Yan Donglin who was about to leave in frustration. When he saw Chen Xu walking out with his bag on his back, he hurried over and asked, "Where are you going? I'll see you off!" Chen Xu stopped and said to him seriously: "Yan Donglin, I stick to what I told you before. Please don't waste your time on me. You don't have a chance. Let's save some dignity!" Yan Donglin sighed: "It turns out that words of rejection are so harsh in the ears of the rejected. When I rejected others in the past, I also said harsher words than this. However, just think that I have received retribution today. Chen Xu, I don’t want to give up."

Chen Xu snorted coldly, "You don't want to give up, why? Because you have never been rejected by a girl? There will always be a first time in life, not for me, but also for others. You are not RMB, not everyone can do it. I like you, even if you are RMB, there may be some people who prefer gold! As colleagues in the same unit, please save your last dignity and stop annoying me, otherwise I will be really rude."

Unexpectedly, Yan Donglin did not give up. He blocked Chen Xu's way and said, "Chen Xu, can you listen to what I have to say? First, last time you said you would not look for rich people. What I want to say is that our family is not The top richest people in the country, my parents are just ordinary people who are engaged in business. You should have seen rich people. I am not richer than the people you know. I heard Zhang Xiaoli, the driver of our unit, said that on the first day you came to work, The person who gave it to you drove a car worth more than 200 million, so you have met rich people. So if you can let him give it to you, why can't you take my car? This is unfair to me, he can To see you off on your first day at work proves that you have a close relationship, and you don’t hate all rich people, so the fact that you don’t like rich people is untrue; secondly, you said you don’t like people with rich love histories. People, I need to explain this. In fact, my affairs have been widely circulated by everyone, and many of them are false rumors. Because everyone does not discuss them in front of me, I cannot explain to them one by one. I'm not a playboy. I've only been with two friends and they didn't end up together. How do you know if a boyfriend and girlfriend are compatible if they don't get along? I don't think I have any moral shortcomings. I'm the same as you. , I am a civil servant who took the exam. My family background is clean and my social relations have no illegal or criminal records. This has been checked by the organization during the political review. When you first came here, you also said that you had a boyfriend, so you are not a blank slate. , so it’s unfair for you to deny me because I’ve had girlfriends; third point: you don’t like people who drive drunk. I know it was my fault last time I drove drunk. As a public official, I am not You should do that. But last time in a place like that, the leader left us first and left us there. Liu Yihui felt uncomfortable after vomiting. I didn’t drink much, so... Anyway, it’s me who drove under the influence. No, I will change it later, and you can supervise me. I don’t think you should look at me through colored glasses, I’m not that bad.”

Chen Xu held the backpack strap in his hand, "Yan Donglin, what do you like about me? Tell me, I will change it!" Yan Donglin was a little angry, "You just completely deny me, right?" Chen Xu looked up at the blue sky and said : "I'm not denying you anything. I don't want to find a boyfriend at the moment. And you are chasing me too urgently, which makes me feel very suffocated. The reason why you do this is that you feel that you are in good condition in all aspects." , I am bound to win, I don’t like this feeling, I am not a prey, and you are not a hunter, please respect me and keep your distance, that’s it.”

Chen Xu's grandma was very happy to see Chen Xu come back. Chen Xu looked at the leftovers in the kitchen and said unhappily: "Grandma, why are you eating these things again? Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself? How could you do this? How about making do?" Grandma Chen said quickly: "I just clean up yesterday's leftovers and make delicious food for lunch." Chen Xu said helplessly: "Grandma, how old are you this year? Eighty! In the past 20 years, you have Have you suffered enough? Why are you so incapable of enjoying happiness?" As she said that, she took out the things for her grandma from her backpack. It was cold, so she bought her a knitted hat, a scarf, a down jacket, pants, Thermal underwear, underwear, shoes and socks, and a complete set of winter clothing. Grandma Chen smiled from ear to ear, feeling so happy that she felt so happy, but she said, "Oh, how much does this cost?" Chen Xu took out the clothes, let Grandma try them on, and said, "Oh, how much does this cost?" Don’t you just spend the money you earn? I just got paid this month, and I’ve made up for it from the previous months. All kinds of subsidies total more than 1 yuan. It’s not enough to buy you this little thing. to 1000 yuan.”

Grandma happily touched the clothes on her body, "It's great. How many years have you not worn new clothes? It's been 20 years, right? All my clothes were picked up from the trash." Chen Xu also felt a little sad when he heard this, " Grandma, the hard days are over." Chen Xu stayed with her grandma for one night as usual. When she left the next afternoon, grandma grabbed her and said, "Xu, don't leave yet." As she said this, she dug under the cabinet for a long time. , took out a few balls of wool from a bag at the bottom of the cabinet. Shake the threads off the balls of wool. Inside was money, in various denominations. Grandma said: "Keep this money for me." I was afraid of losing my money every day, so I often changed places to live in Tibet. As soon as that guy Wang Yu comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my money. This house isn't big, and he can find me wherever I hide. Chen Xu counted it carefully and found that there were only more than 8000 yuan in total. Chen Xu said: "I will take you to the bank to apply for a card and put it in the card!" Grandma shook her head, "No, I don't know how to use these things, so you should help me hold the money!" Chen Xu thought After thinking about it, he said to her, "Grandma, this is a total of 8758 yuan. I will leave some pocket money for you. I will save the 8000 yuan in my card for you. Just let me know when you want to use it, and I will take it out and return it." You." Grandma nodded repeatedly, and then handed one of her current bankbooks to Chen Xu. This is the bankbook where I open the survivor's allowance. You can also hold it for me. My passbook does not have a password because I don’t know how to read and I don’t know which one to press when I get there, so I didn’t ask for a password when I opened the account. Wang Yu, a little bastard, can withdraw money even if he takes this from me. I've also lost money here. I obviously didn't withdraw the money that month, but the bank said the money had been withdrawn. "Chen Xu was very angry. Wang Yu was already a 28-year-old man, but he still cared about grandma's money? She hugged grandma and said, "I'll install a phone at home next time! If anything happens then, please call me. "Now no matter what Chen Xu says, grandma will nod in agreement.

When Chen Xu went back the next weekend, he originally wanted to call the home security department, but when he went to the communications company, they said that the phone was no longer installed in that area because the house would be demolished and no more wires would be installed. But the salesperson recommended a cordless phone to her, and Chen Xu thought about it. It was better to buy a mobile phone for senior citizens that she could carry with her. So Chen Xu spent 180 yuan to buy a mobile phone for senior citizens and used his ID card to apply for a phone card. When he got home, Chen Xu saved his mobile phone number in the new phone address book, and then set up one-touch dialing. First, teach grandma to unlock, and then tell grandma to press and hold the "2" key to make a call. Chen Xu and grandma rehearsed it several times, and grandma finally knew how to make and answer calls. Grandma unlocked a new skill and was so happy that she was now blessed with a granddaughter. Chen Xu suddenly remembered a saying in his heart: Giving is more blessed than receiving.
