Raw rice boiled into small porridge

After the love supper that night, He Tian and Ye Jiawen hadn't contacted each other for a few days, and Ye Jiawen didn't move. He Tian only vaguely felt that he had a crush on Ye Jiawen, but they were just friends, so there was no need to talk Find a word to contact every day.

On this day, he contacted Ding Xiaoxiang and made an appointment to meet at Ding's house. One was to make a routine home visit to work with the family members of drug addicts, and the other was to accompany Ding Xiaoxiang to a urine test.

Hu Xinian was going to give lectures in the compulsory drug rehabilitation center, and told He Tian to be careful. He Tian said it was fine, so he went to Ding's house by himself.

He arrived a little earlier than the agreed time, and there was no one in Ding's house. He Tian stood at the door and waited for a while, when Uncle Li opened the door and invited him in enthusiastically.

This Uncle Li is an empty-nest old man with three children, but none of them are around. The old man has been alone for a long time, and he will talk endlessly when he sees people. He Tian and Hu Xinian have been caught by the old man several times. It can be done, but it is not easy to spoil the happiness of the elderly, and there is nothing to do every time.

But today He Tian was waiting for someone anyway, so he followed Uncle Li into his house.As soon as He Tian sat down, Uncle Li tremblingly served him some dried fruit, and even took out Coke from the refrigerator.

Holding the iced Coke, He Tian looked at the plate full of orchid beans, pistachios, various colorful chocolates and candies, and then looked at Uncle Li.The old man was smiling at him so that he could not see his teeth or eyes. In his mouth, there were only two front teeth, one upper and one lower, forming a shadow, matching with the wrinkles on his face, like a dark hole dug in an old bark.

"You...can you eat these things?" He Tian asked in surprise, "Don't you still have high blood sugar? You can't eat sugar or chocolate, so don't be greedy..."

Uncle Li hummed for a long time, and finally understood He Tian's words. He said loudly: "This is not for me to eat. I prepared it for my children and grandchildren. I don't know when they will come back suddenly. If How can I do without food, my youngest son likes to eat pistachios, my granddaughter likes to eat that golden chocolate, my granddaughter..."

He Tian listened to the old man rambling for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Where are they now? How often do you come back to see you?"

The old man still laughed heartlessly like a child, and said: "My eldest daughter is in the United States. It's normal if she can't come back. I haven't seen her for a few years. My two sons are here, but they are very busy... Maybe there are also... haven't seen each other in half a year?"

He Tian went to look at the food. Dried fruits are okay. The shelf life of snack fruits is so short, but the ones here are all fresh. Thinking about it, the old man must have prepared new ones every time, but no one came back to eat them. I had no choice but to watch things break and replace them with new ones.

He Tian sighed, feeling tight in his chest. He found a small piece of paper, wrote his mobile phone number on it, gave it to the old man, and told him that if there was anything, he could call him.

The old man took his hand and stuffed a lot of pistachios into his pocket.

He Tian comforted the old man, and just about to call Ding Xiaoxiang to inquire about the situation, he heard a loud shouting and cursing from downstairs, He Tian heard Ding Xiaoxiang's voice inside, and hurried to the window to look.

Ding Xiaoxiang's mother had disheveled hair, dragged Ding Xiaoxiang by his ear with one hand, and pointed at his nose with the other hand and scolded: "Little bastard, you won't come home for a few days! The debt collectors are going to live in our house, why are you dead?" Where’s the money?! How dare you come back without money! If you don’t pay back the money today, they’re going to move the house, you know?!”

Neighbors along the street poked their heads out one after another, but they all treated it as a joke. Anyway, this kind of thing happened every three days. Who didn't know that a child surnamed Ding was chased and beaten all over the street since he was a child.

He Tian rushed downstairs amidst the advice of the old man "Don't meddle in your own business", and met the mother and son at the door of the building who looked at each other like enemies. Ding Xiaoxiang was trying to break free from his mother's grasp, but He should still have some scruples, and he didn't dare to use his strength, otherwise, how could a young man not be able to get rid of a weak woman?

"Auntie, you have something to say, what are you doing?" He Tian came up to pull, not wanting the woman to see it was him, immediately turned the gun, let go of Ding Xiaoxiang and yelled at him, "What are you looking for? Work? How much can you earn as a tally clerk in a supermarket? If you can’t help, leave him alone, okay? He earns much less than before! Will you compensate us for the less money?  … "

He Tian didn't know how to quarrel in the first place, let alone the other party was a woman, so he could only stare blankly, unable to speak out the truth, the more Ding's mother said, the more ugly she sounded, Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't listen anymore, and pushed his mother into the room: "Do you have any conscience? He Tian didn't pay for your medical expenses in hospital before? Just scold me. What does it have to do with him!"

Ding's mother became even more angry when she was pushed, she picked up a vase and threw it at her head and face. Ding Xiaoxiang hurriedly protected He Tian and stepped back, scolding that this day can't be passed, and she will never come back to this house again, the vase With a bang sound as if hitting Ding Xiaoxiang's back, he groaned and pushed He Tian downstairs.

Behind him, the woman's shrill and strange screams could be heard endlessly, and soon, the neighbors who were disturbed also joined the battle, and several parties scolded each other, and a scuffle began.

Ding Xiaoxiang pulled He Tian and led him out of the alley before stopping to take a breath. Last time He Tian found him again, he took him to contact several employers in the community, whether it was property management companies or insurance companies. No one in the company was willing to accept a young man with a history of drug abuse. In the end, a small supermarket owner agreed to keep Ding Xiaoxiang as a tally clerk because of the letter of introduction and the fact that the social work center had helped mediate his family's family disputes before.

Now Ding Xiaoxiang has no heavy makeup on his face, and he is wearing an old sportswear, but the indifference and gloom on his face has not changed.

"Are you okay?" He Tian wanted to take off his clothes and look at his back, but Ding Xiaoxiang blocked his hand, stretched his teeth and said it was all right.

He Tian turned back into the alley and sighed, "I originally said that today I would pay a return visit to your mother and do ideological work."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled wryly: "There is no need to do her ideological work, her thinking is already rotten."

He Tian accompanied Ding Xiaoxiang to a routine urine test, and the result was negative. He Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Xiaoxiang was forced to detoxify more than half a year ago. .

The two were walking on the street, Ding Xiaoxiang lit a cigarette, He Tian took out the cigarette he had put into his mouth and pinched it out, saying that you should quit smoking and work hard in the supermarket.

The two passed a movie theater, and Ding Xiaoxiang pointed to the poster of "Fast and Furious" and said, "My childhood dream was to be a racing driver when I grow up."

He Tian said with a smile, when I was a child, my dream was to be a superman to save the world. He took Ding Xiaoxiang and took him to watch that movie.

After coming out of the theater, Ding Xiaoxiang invited He Tian to eat the "second half-price" cone, thanked He Tian and said goodbye, then turned and walked into the brightly lit city night, He Tian looked at his thin back and felt that although It's tough, but this boy his age is getting better and better.

……

He Tian returned to the dormitory feeling a little melancholy, but Xin Yue was elated. He blinked at He Tian: "Tian, ​​are you my best friend?"

He Tian squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then said, "What do you want from me?"

Xin Yue smiled: "Look, look..." He held up the phone in front of He Tian: "Wu Shaohan posted on Weibo..."

He Tian lowered his head and glanced, and actually forwarded an official Weibo account of SL Group, which said that SL recruited management trainees, and Wu Shaohan's Weibo content read: I have tried it for the first time, but the retest is very difficult. [come on! Come on]

He Tian raised his head and stared at Xin Yue: "What do you want to do?"

Xin Yue scratched his hair with one hand, pinched He Tian's thigh with the other, and said shyly, "What...you know Mr. Ye? Isn't he the vice president of SL? Can you...well, help me Xiaohan Han go through the back door?"

SL Group is the world's largest daily consumer goods company, with hundreds of well-known brands of food, toiletries, family planning products, and baby products under its umbrella.It ranks among the top 10 among the world's top [-] companies, and has more than [-] employees worldwide.

There are many elites in the workplace gathered here, and it is also a palace where countless graduates flock to squeeze their heads. The process of selecting interns in SL every year is just like another college entrance examination where thousands of troops squeeze a single-plank bridge.After all, as an intern at SL, you can receive systematic training and have opportunities for job rotation training. If you perform well, you can become a full-time employee upon graduation. a sum.

So even if he is as outstanding and proud as Wu Shaohan, he still cherishes this opportunity very much.

Xin Yue felt that somewhere, his chance had come.

He Tian could see the eagerness and anticipation in his best friend's eyes. Even though he was not optimistic about Xin Yue's infatuation, and he didn't like the "going through the back door", he still couldn't bear to pour cold water on Xin Yue. .

He Tian's eyes were erratic, he turned from the corner to the table, and finally said: "I don't know him very well..." He was looking forward to the opportunity to contact Ye Jiawen again, but worried about what he would do if the other party ignored him. ?

Xin Yue pinched his leg lightly, glanced at his wrist, and said confusedly: "Aren't you familiar? But he sent you an apology letter, took you to a company party, and you still wear the watch he gave you... Besides, you all... have slept..."

"..." He Tian couldn't speak, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Xin Yue in embarrassment.

Xin Yue smiled beggingly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, you are not familiar, can you cook for me for another 2 minutes? I have already thought about it, you don't need to tell him directly, you just ask him out for dinner, I will Find a way to bring Wu Shaohan over there, let's have a chance encounter, then my family Hanhan can make a good impression on him with a casual performance, and if you add a few good words afterwards, it will probably be done." Xin Yue couldn't hide it Excited, beaming with joy, as if victory is just around the corner.

He Tian still wanted to say something, Xin Yue hummed and begged him, and Xie Ming next to him looked at them with the look of "I'm optimistic about you", He Tian quickly shook his hand away, and reluctantly agreed.

Just do what you say, He Tian sent Ye Jiawen a message: The watch you gave me is very nice, and the red bean pie that night was also delicious, I want to treat you to a meal to thank you.Do you have time?

Ye Jiawen was working overtime in the office, immersed in his work, and stared at the phone screen for a long time before he was sure that the message was indeed sent to him by He Tian, ​​and that He Tian wanted to treat him to dinner.

Eat eat eat.Even if it's a conspiratorial Hongmen Banquet, this meal is settled. Ye Jiawen thought for a while, this kid ignored him for several days, it must be tricky to take the initiative to invite him to dinner now, but I can't control that much, Peony It's also romantic to be a ghost.

But Ye Jiawen didn't immediately agree. He calculated carefully and wanted to get him, and replied: Don't be so polite, a watch worth a few hundred dollars, and a red bean pie worth a few dozen dollars. I'm busy recently, so I don't know when I will have time.

He Tian looked at the phone and frowned, no time?So what to do?In a few days, the intern re-examination will be over.He was a little anxious about being entrusted with loyalty.

He Tian: Could you take some time?I want to see you. 【Smile】

He Tian is going all out to do something for his friend, so he can let go of being arrogant.

Ye Jiawen was elated by this "I want to see you", but he still had to be a little bit tense and ask for a little favor: "Then let me think about it."By the way, I haven't seen you update Moments for a while, are you so busy recently?Still have time to eat with me?

He Tian silently closed his eyes and unblocked Moments.

He Tian: Then tomorrow at 7:[-] p.m., see you at the private kitchen outside our school.

Ye Jiawen is naturally very familiar with the vicinity of T University. This private kitchen is very popular among the students. The quality is cheap and there are many people.

He returned without seeing or leaving, and leisurely leaned on the back of the chair to drink coffee. As expected, he opened He Tian's circle of friends. The latest update was:

A friend asked me if I had to choose, what are my three favorite people or things in the world?I thought about it and answered him, my parents and self-study. [smile] [smile]

Below is a photo of a book spread out on a desk.

Ye Jiawen almost spit out his coffee after taking a sip of coffee, how could this kid play self-deprecating humor? !What a cutie.

He couldn't help but comment below: Have you finished your homework today?Bring it to Uncle to check.
