entanglement

"Are you hungry?" He Xiu took out all the prepared meals while talking, and then gently shook Zhang Nie awake.

"Hmm~" Zhang Nie squinted his eyes and stretched, seeing He Xiu's cooking, he didn't have much appetite, because he had eaten a lot of fried chicken nuggets before, and he was very full.

He Xiu looked at the two of them and seemed to have no intention of moving their chopsticks, "What's wrong? The dishes I cook don't suit your taste?"

"No, I just want to drink soup now," Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, then filled a bowl with some soup, and drank it slowly, "I like the soup made by my mother the most."

"Me too." Zhang Nie nodded, and followed suit with a bowl of soup, "I'll have dinner later."

He Xiu looked at the two of them, although she felt strange, but she didn't say it out, "Well, it seems that you just woke up and don't want to eat yet."

Zhang Sheng couldn't tell what he was suffering now. He knew that even if he didn't want to eat, he still had to eat later. He didn't want to see his mother's disappointed expression.

"By the way, Xiao Zi, when is your school holiday?" He Xiu stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Nie's sleepy hair while talking.

"It's almost there, there is still one month left, what's the matter?" Zhang Sheng replied.

"It's like this, your father's company has an employee reward, saying that it is going to travel abroad next month. Your father and I really want to go, but considering the issue of taking care of Xiao Nie, we are hesitating." Do you want to go?" He Xiu said with a smile.

"Go and play, I'll be on vacation at that time, so leave it to me to take care of Xiao Nie." Zhang Sheng nodded and said, mentioning this, he himself felt ashamed. Parents enjoy the blessings, but also let the parents work hard because of their own surgery fees.

"Mom, where are you going to play? How long are you going?" Zhang Nie looked at He Xiu with his mouth pouted, his eyes full of reluctance, like an animal cub about to be separated from its mother.

Seeing Zhang Nie's appearance, He Xiu couldn't help laughing, "Country R, ​​it hasn't been long, about a week." She took a tissue to help Zhang Nie wipe off the soup stains from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't worry, I won't abuse you." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

Zhang Nie looked at Zhang Sheng, and then at He Xiu, "Mom, you have to bring me something delicious."

Zhang Sheng laughed and said, "You just remember to eat."

He Xiu nodded, "Okay, no problem."

"Mom didn't say anything, you still talk about me." Zhang Nie said with a smile.

"By the way, Xiao Zi, what do you want to buy?" He Xiu asked.

"No, I don't need anything." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, he saw the sunshine outside, and thought that the temperature should not be low, so he got up and walked to the window, opened the window to let the outside wind blow in, but he just opened it From the window, I heard my mother's loud reprimand——

"What are you going to do?!" He Xiu stood up immediately, walked quickly to Zhang Sheng's side, and closed the window.

Zhang Sheng watched his mother looking at him nervously, feeling as if he would do something, he shook his head, "I...I just want to open the window to let the outside wind blow in, Mom, what's wrong with you? "

After hearing this, He Xiucai seemed to be relieved, she looked at Zhang Sheng, and then at the window, "I'm just, just worried about you falling, you must know that this is the fourth floor, falling down is not a trivial matter. "Zhang Sheng's behavior just now reminded her of jumping from the upstairs of the hospital eight years ago, which made her feel panicked.

"I just opened a window, Mom, how could you think of going there?" Zhang Sheng felt incredible.

He Xiu shook her head, her eyes scanned every corner of the room indiscriminately, "Maybe I watch too many TV sets, and I have watched too many plots like this, and I can't help but think of reality."

"Mom, it seems that your nerves are too tense, pay attention to relax." Zhang Sheng said with a smile, he reached out and patted his mother's shoulder, trying to make her relax.

He Xiu looked at Zhang Sheng seriously, her eyes were full of kindness, "Son, you have to promise mom that no matter what happens, you will not do anything to hurt yourself, you understand?"

As soon as Zhang Sheng heard what his mother said, he thought that his mother probably thought of those TV dramas again, so he nodded, "Well, yes, I won't hurt myself, Mom, don't worry."

"Okay, okay." He Xiu nodded, and then forced a forced smile.

Looking at He Xiu's appearance, Zhang Nie felt very puzzled, "Mom, brother wouldn't do such a thing, don't worry, I won't either."

"Little Nie is so good." He Xiu nodded, walked over and hugged Zhang Nie.

The next day, Zhang Sheng returned to school as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. He planned to give lectures to the students as usual, but the principal seemed worried and insisted on letting him rest for a few days.

When Zhang Sheng returned to the dormitory, he heard a woman's voice as soon as he opened the door——

"Hello, Teacher Zhang." Teacher Cai stood in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Teacher Cai, hello," Zhang Sheng responded, seeing Teacher Cai wearing a short white dress, he began to wonder if she was cold, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, I just came here to thank you, thank you for giving me Luo Wei's contact information." Teacher Cai said with a smile on his face.

Hearing what she said, Zhang Sheng felt a little surprised, "You two..."

"He asked me out today. I think this is an opportunity. It's a bit hard to say, but it's necessary to thank you." Teacher Cai said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm still waiting for your wedding wine." Zhang Sheng said with a smile, but in his heart, he felt that Luo Wei was a bit casual. He asked someone out as soon as he contacted him. Could it be love at first sight?

"I still won't disturb your rest, I'll go first." Teacher Cai said with a smile.

Zhang Sheng nodded, "Well, okay, goodbye." He watched Teacher Cai leave in high heels and a short skirt, and wondered if she wasn't cold?

Back in the house, Zhang Sheng directly turned on the computer to see if there were any temporary or part-time jobs available. When he came back from the hospital, he thought that he was already in his 20s, and he had to make his parents worry about his surgery fee. , This made him feel very guilty, so he thought about not being idle during the holidays, and doing it if he could find a job that earns money.

It took Zhang Sheng a few hours to find some good temporary jobs. He didn't want to wait in the dormitory, so he packed his clothes and went out.

It was not very smooth to find these temporary jobs. Many of them were peddlers, which seriously did not match the content of the job he was looking for, or they were fraudulent companies that had to pay hundreds of dollars in deposit.Zhang Sheng looked at the last few recruitment information, he felt a little unwilling, so he picked one of them and tried his luck again.

However, this time he did find the right one. Although it is a small company, it is generally very standardized. The reason they recruited temporary workers was that they did not want to give "year-end bonuses" to employees who joined at the end of the year.Although this was a bit tricky, Zhang Sheng still agreed. After all, it is better to have money than to have nothing.

When Zhang Sheng came out of the personnel department office, a woman walked up to him. It was nothing at all, but the woman stopped after seeing Zhang Sheng.

"Hezi? Hmph, I didn't expect you to survive. What a disaster for thousands of years." The woman said very bluntly, with contempt written all over her face.

"You?" Zhang Sheng looked at the woman with heavy makeup in doubt, "Who are you? I don't seem to know you, and I don't care too much." He hated the sky-high woman, and tried hard to recall it in his mind, but he couldn't think of anything. He had no impression of this woman at all.

"Hmph, what are you pretending to be? You used to be pitiful, but now you're pretending to be a stranger?" The woman still had a look of contempt on her face, but at this moment, the manager of the personnel department came out of the office. After seeing this situation, he immediately Come and explain.

"I said Lin Xueqin, you, don't bully the newcomer, this is a new colleague who is here to replace Ken's position, and his name is Zhang Sheng." The manager said.

After the woman named Lin Xueqin heard this, she was slightly taken aback, "Could it be..." She smiled, "That's right, that disgusting person is already dead, how could he come back to life?" She looked up and down Zhang Sheng still had a look of contempt on his face.

"...Hello." Zhang Sheng didn't want to say hello to this woman, and he didn't do anything wrong, but he felt very displeased to be treated like this by this woman.

Lin Xueqin forced a smile, "Hello, I just identified the wrong person, don't mind me." After Lin Xueqin finished speaking, she patted Zhang Sheng's shoulder with her hands. This action was like the way the underworld boss treats the younger brother in the movie.

Zhang Sheng shook his head, "No, please give me more advice in the future." He wanted to leave here now.

"Well, Zhang Sheng, if you come over next month, bring all the documents." The manager said.

"Okay." Zhang Sheng nodded.

The manager seemed to see Zhang Sheng's discomfort, he smiled, and said, "Then I won't give it away."

Zhang Sheng was grateful for the manager's words, and he could leave without making excuses.

After seeing Zhang Sheng leave, the manager said to Lin Xueqin earnestly: "You have only been transferred here not long ago, so don't cause any trouble. Be careful that your son is going to lose his temper with you again."

"Yes, yes, I know." Lin Xueqin spoke while flicking her long, wavy hair.

Zhang Sheng originally wanted to go back to school directly, but when he passed the theater, he stopped in his tracks. He remembered that when he went to the theater with Luo Wei, he was not in the mood to watch it at all, so he didn't watch much.Seeing that the play was still being performed, he didn't want to just miss it, so he went in to buy tickets.However, when he sat on the seat, he realized that the person next to him was Kang Diyi.

"You... hello, what a coincidence." Zhang Sheng said in surprise.

"It's you, what a coincidence," Kang Diyi said with a smile, "You also like this drama?"

"Yes. However, it was a pity that I didn't get to watch the show properly last time. Now that the play is still being performed, I came here to watch it." Zhang Sheng replied.

"Me too, the last time I came with Zhili..." Kang Diyi thought of the last time when she said this, she looked at Zhang Sheng, "I remembered, it was because you went to the theater with Luo Wei last time Is that so?"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng felt a little embarrassed, he nodded, "Yes, but I hope this time I can finish watching this drama well." Zhang Sheng didn't want to see Kang Diyi make things difficult for him, but, in fact, Kang Diyi didn't think too much about it.

Kang Diyi smiled and nodded, "Well, I thought so too, oh, it's starting, shh~" Kang Diyi raised her index finger to her mouth while pointing at the stage to make him quiet.

Seeing Kang Diyi like this, Zhang Sheng nodded with a smile.

It was already dark when they came out from the play.

"This movie is really good. Fortunately, I chose to watch it again, otherwise it would be a pity." Kang Diyi said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's really a pity if it doesn't look good," Zhang Sheng said in agreement, and he looked around, "You should go back now, right?"

Kang Diyi looked at her watch, then shook her head, "It's still early." When she said this, she looked at the noodle stall not far away from time to time.

Zhang Sheng also noticed her appearance, "Do you want to eat noodles with fried sauce?"

Upon hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Kang Diyi immediately nodded, "Okay, I haven't eaten fried noodles for a long time."

Hearing Kang Diyi's words, Zhang Sheng asked her to go shopping with him, but because many people bought, they had to line up.

"You like to eat this very much?" Zhang Sheng asked suspiciously.

"Let's put it this way, the last time I ate this was when I was in the first semester of high school. At that time, there was a small stall selling this fried noodles near the school. However, after my mother saw me eating this, she ordered I don't want to eat it, saying it's bad." Kang Diyi recalled.

"Then you are not afraid that your mother will know?" Zhang Sheng asked with a smile.

"Just eat it before you go home, and don't let the driver know," Kang Diyi said with a smile. When she opened her satchel to look for her wallet, she found that her mobile phone was missing, "Oh, no, My phone is missing, it must have fallen on the seat, what should I do?"

"Why don't I help you find it? We've only been out for a while, and the phone should still be there," Zhang Sheng said.

"I'll find it myself. After all, you don't know what my mobile phone looks like, but this..." Kang Diyi looked at the stall with a little confusion.

"Let me buy it for you. Hurry up and find it while it's still early." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

"Thank you." Kang Diyi said gratefully, she turned around and ran to the opposite side of the road immediately after she finished speaking, and Zhang Sheng was here helping her line up to buy noodles with fried sauce.

When Zhang Sheng finished buying the fried noodles, he sat on the small stone bench next to him and waited for Kang Diyi to come back. However, he didn't feel bored while waiting, because listening to the chatting of the two women next to him felt like he was listening to a story. of--

"Actually, working part-time is very stressful, earning less money, but spending more money." A short-haired girl complained, but the girl with small eyes sitting next to her said something like this——

"My parents bought me a car."

"Oh, then why didn't I see you drive out?" The short-haired girl seemed suspicious of her friend.

However, this friend did not answer her words, but said something like this, "What's so strange about this, my parents bought me a house."

Upon hearing this, the short-haired girl unceremoniously rolled her eyes, showing a look of disbelief, "What's the use of you bragging to me like this?"

These words seemed to irritate the girl with small eyes, she also rolled her eyes, and then snorted coldly, "I heard that the people in your place are very bad, I heard a news recently, they are specialized in selling drugs. Is it from your place, do people from your place like to sell drugs? Also, there is a very cheap man in my company, who is also from your place. He is so stupid that he can't do anything, and he is ugly You're stupid, I really don't know why the people there are so stupid?"

These words immediately angered the short-haired girl, she directly quarreled with the small-eyed girl, and finally they broke up.Zhang Sheng watched the two of them leave angrily, and the people around watched them leave as if they were watching a joke.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Kang Diyi's voice sounded from behind Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng turned his head and saw Kang Diyi standing in front of her panting, "Have you found it?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"I found it," Kang Diyi smiled and nodded, she took out her mobile phone and shook it in front of Zhang Sheng, then her eyes fell on the fried noodles on the stone table, "Have you bought it?"

"Yes, I've got it, eat it quickly and eat it while it's hot." After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he opened the plastic bag wrapped in the noodle bowl with fried sauce, and handed it to Kang Diyi.

"Thank you," Kang Diyi sat on the stone bench, picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite, "It's delicious."

Zhang Sheng himself put a little bit into his mouth and ate it, "Well, it's really delicious, no matter what time you eat it, it's delicious, no wonder the business of this stall is so good."

"That's right." Kang Diyi said in agreement.

Zhang Sheng looked at Kang Diyi, "You...do you really like Cheng Zhili?" He fiddled with the noodles in the bowl while looking at Kang Diyi.

Hearing this, Kang Diyi showed a very tangled expression, "Actually, I'm not sure, because it was arranged by my parents, I... I just..." At this point, Kang Diyi couldn't continue.

"Have you graduated?" Zhang Sheng guessed from her appearance that she was still very young, probably still at the age of school.

Kang Diyi shook her head, "Not yet, my parents let me drop out of school." Kang Diyi pursed her lips slightly.

"If you want to continue studying, you can ask your parents to return to school for you. You are still young, and you don't know whether you love Cheng Zhili... If you leave regrets in the future, it will be a pity." Zhang Sheng I'm ashamed to say it too directly, he just thinks that Kang Diyi has such a good condition, but he has to give up, it's a pity to think about it.

Kang Diyi nodded, "Zhili has already told my parents for me. Although my parents agreed, they haven't done it for me yet. In fact, I also miss the time when I was studying."

"Maybe it's almost the end of the year now, so your parents are thinking about handling it for you next year." Zhang Sheng said comfortingly.

"Really?" Kang Diyi looked up at Zhang Sheng.

Faced with Kang Diyi's expectant eyes, Zhang Sheng could only nod, "If you really like it, you have to take the initiative to tell your parents."

Kang Diyi nodded, "Well," she suddenly thought of something, "If Zhili really doesn't like me, it doesn't seem to work if I force him?"

Faced with such a question, it was hard for him to say, "I'm not sure either."

Kang Diyi nodded, "You are really a good person, you are so gentle to everyone."

Hearing such a compliment, Zhang Sheng was a little embarrassed, "Where, you're too much."

After eating the fried noodles, Kang Diyi looked at her watch, "Sorry, I'm going back now."

"Go back, be careful on the road." Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said.

"Okay, I'll treat you to noodles with fried sauce another day." Kang Diyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sneered.

After seeing Kang Diyi get into his car, Zhang Sheng packed up the trash and went back to school.

*******

Time passed quickly, and it was winter vacation in a blink of an eye.

After Zhang Sheng packed his things in the dormitory, he returned home, and his parents also traveled abroad on the day he came back, and his younger brother was busy reviewing for the exam.

After Zhang Sheng cooked the instant noodles in the kitchen, he brought them out. However, as soon as he came out, he saw his younger brother Zhang Nie watching TV.

"Why don't you review? Be careful that you will be scolded by your father if you don't do well in the exam." Zhang Sheng said while pouring noodles into a bowl and handing it to Zhang Nie.

"Oh, don't be afraid. I've almost done my revision. Besides, I'm going to skip a grade. How can it be possible that I don't even know the knowledge points in this grade?" Zhang Nie picked up Zhang Shengsheng's face while talking. eat up.

"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid here. If Dad comes back and sees you like this, it will be miserable." Zhang Sheng said while eating noodles.

"Don't worry, when Dad comes back, I've already finished all the exams," Zhang Nie ate the noodles while puffing, "This noodles are delicious."

"Thank you." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

"Brother, are you going to cook noodles for me this week?" Zhang Nie asked worriedly.

"I can only cook noodles," Zhang Sheng said a little embarrassedly, "However, if you get tired of eating, we can go out to eat delicious food, or order takeaway."

0000

"That's not bad," Zhang Nie quite agreed with Zhang Sheng's statement, "Then I'm going to eat fried chicken burgers tonight."

"You are quite good at taking advantage of the fire." Zhang Sheng shook his head with a smile.

"You're talking about takeaway, and I'm just ordering something." Zhang Nie put on an innocent look.

"Okay, okay, I said it, you should prepare quickly, there is an exam to be taken in the afternoon, I will take you there then."

"Okay." Zhang Nie nodded, then filled another bowl of noodles and started to eat.

******************************

In the afternoon, after Zhang Sheng sent Zhang Nie to the school for the exam, he came to the library to read.

Zhang Sheng looked at it and forgot the time and environment. When he closed the book, he realized that it was already evening and it was raining outside.

In this cold winter, the rain is the most freezing. Zhang Sheng stood at the door and watched the heavy rain. Because he didn't bring an umbrella, he didn't know how to go back. It was getting late now. He thought of Zhang Sheng. Now that Nie didn't know whether he had returned home or not, he was a little anxious.

Looking at the pattering rain, Zhang Sheng became a little depressed. He looked around, but he couldn't find a convenience store where he could buy an umbrella, which made Zhang Sheng anxious.However, at this moment, he heard someone calling his name——

"Zhang Sheng!" Cheng Zhili's voice came over, Zhang Sheng followed the sound and saw Cheng Zhili walking towards him holding an umbrella, while his other hand was holding Zhang Nie.

"?" Zhang Sheng watched them approaching suspiciously, "You..."

"Brother, you are too slow, big brother is here to pick me up." Zhang Nie smiled happily.

These words made Zhang Sheng's hanging heart finally able to let go, "That's good," he looked at Cheng Zhili, "Thank you, but... how do you know my brother's school? And his exam? "

Cheng Zhili smiled, "I wonder if that's not easy?" Cheng Zhili said with a smile, "I wanted to find you, but I came to look for you after hearing from your colleague that you had gone home. You are not at home, so I came to find your brother first, your brother must know where you are."

Zhang Sheng shook his head with a smile, "You are too good at thinking, you can think of everything, but thank you very much, if it weren't for you, my brother might be ruined."

Zhang Nie also laughed, "Brother, do you know? When my elder brother came to pick me up, my classmate thought he was my father. Do you think it's funny?" After Zhang Nie finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Cheng Zhili, Cheng Zhili also smiled.

"What's so funny, if dad finds out, he will definitely say you." Zhang Sheng poked Zhang Nie's forehead with his finger.

"Brother, do you remember what I said at noon?" Zhang Nie looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sheng certainly knew what he was going to express, he nodded, "Well, of course I do, you little glutton."

Zhang Nie turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhili, "Big brother, let's go have dinner together."

00000

Cheng Zhili nodded, "Okay, what do we want to eat?"

"Eat fried chicken and hamburgers! My brother treats you." Zhang Nie said excitedly.

"You know how to cheat your brother." Zhang Sheng knew that since Zhang Nie said so, he would definitely take Cheng Zhili to eat with him, but taking him to eat fried chicken burgers... this sounds a bit weird.

Cheng Zhili glanced at Zhang Sheng, "It's rare for you to treat me. If I don't go, wouldn't that be uninteresting?"

Zhang Sheng sneered and said, "Don't worry, it's just a fried chicken burger, don't praise me."

*************************************

In a burger joint.

Zhang Sheng sat on the seat and waited for Cheng Zhili and Zhang Nie. Although he promised to treat them earlier, Cheng Zhili insisted on asking him to treat them.

Cheng Zhili and Zhang Nie lined up in the dining area, and from time to time they were swept away by the eyes of the girls next to them, and occasionally heard the comments from the people next to them——

"Look at the two of them look alike."

"Please, how can father and son be alike?"

"Father is so handsome."

"My son is handsome too."

"I really want to know what the child's mother looks like?"

"It is estimated that she is a big beauty."

"You said that father brought his children to eat fried chicken burgers, so does mother know how to cook?"

"I guess I can't cook."
