As I expected, Peng Zhiran and I were not assigned to the same branch.

I didn't know until I was assigned after graduation that his uncle was a leader in the system. Later, he didn't work in finance, but in marketing.

In less than a month, Peng Zhiran got acquainted with the young people of similar age in their company.New environment, new friends, he is like a fish in water, and occasionally calls me, talking about these is very exciting.I'm lost because I'm not in his new life.And this month, I only saw him once, and I was the one who found him.Although he was very happy to see me that day, and took me to chat until late at night, I was still sad.Peng Zhiran who left Chen Jia was still the energetic Peng Zhiran, and Chen Jia who left Peng Zhiran was no longer the happy Chen Jia.

Our company is the kind of enterprise with one radish and one pit.I can't stand those hypocritical faces and the way of doing things with the ball.Looking at the accounts in and out of Arabic numerals every day, and listening to the aunts and mothers nagging about how much green vegetables have risen and how much stocks have made, I really hate it, but I can't live without this job.

I originally wanted to move out as soon as I started working, but when I was looking around for a house, there was a young man in my mother’s unit who also rented a house after work, and he made a girl’s belly bigger and didn’t want to be responsible , Later, the parents quarreled in the work unit, which had a very bad influence.In the end, my mother changed her mind and refused to let me go out to live. She said that young people are inevitably impulsive, and you are only 19 years old, so you can't go the wrong way.I really want to tell her that maybe one day she begs me to make someone's belly bigger and I won't do it, but how can I say that.So I just insisted blindly, and she resolutely refused to give financial support, so I had to save money desperately.

The rent of a rough one-bedroom house near Peng Zhiran's company was three hundred and fifty.My monthly salary is only 800 yuan, and I can't even meet the landlord's requirement to pay two deposits and one deposit.So I'm going to live frugally.

But I really don't know if my efforts are worthwhile.The last time I saw Peng Zhiran was ten days ago, and I didn't even call him these few days.I call him every time I call.Six people in their office share two outside lines. Last time I chatted with him for 10 minutes, their director threw a message at him: "Young man, don't just chat all day long, work should be the first priority. place." I didn't want to affect his work, so I told him to call me when it was convenient for him, and I'll call again.

Young people at that time did not have mobile phones, and I only had a Motorola BB phone.Peng Zhiran knew the number, but he never called me once.I thought it would take ten days, how could there be no chance of making a phone call.Even if you can't call me during the day, why don't you call me at night?Although their home phone is in his parents' room, it's inconvenient to use, but it's always okay to call to say hello.Could it be that he has a new friend and has forgotten my old friend.Or did he meet some pretty girl at the company and was too busy starting a relationship?

I was just thinking wildly, but I just refused to take the initiative to call him.I really want to know, how many days will it take before he will take the initiative to think of me?I don't know if this is considered a kind of crime, it is obviously sad to death, but still stubborn to death, the only one who is sad is myself.The feeling of unrequited love is really painful, why am I the only one who misses him?

I took the company bus to work that day, and I stared blankly at the bustling pedestrians outside the window.When the car was approaching the company, suddenly a person wearing a black leather jacket on the side of the road caught my attention.That person was tall, and his walking posture with his head slightly lowered was a bit like Peng Zhiran. I remember that Peng Zhiran also had a black leather jacket.So I stared desperately at that person's back, could it be Peng Zhiran?Could it be he who came to see me?When I saw the man's face clearly, I cried.It's not Peng Zhiran, of course it's not Peng Zhiran, it's just a passerby, a passerby who is completely different from him.

Peng Zhiran, I miss you so much.

In the end, I still couldn't hold it back, so I called Peng Zhiran's company when I arrived at the company, but he didn't go to work.I hesitated for a long time, and decided to pretend to be the City Civilization Office to investigate the seven irregularities and make a call to his home.I miss him and want to hear his voice, but I just don't want him to know that I'm the one who contacted him this time.

The phone rang again, but no one answered.I didn't give up and continued to dial.This time it rang for a long time and was finally picked up.

"Hello?" It was Peng Zhiran.

I held my throat and tried to make my voice sound more mature and bureaucratic: "Hi, this is run by the Municipal Civilization Office. We are now conducting a survey of seven irregularities. Can I take a moment of your time?"

His voice sounded a little low and muffled: "Yes. Excuse me."

"Thank you. Please repeat the seven irregularities which are the seven irregularities." I was extremely disturbed, both afraid that he would recognize my voice, and also afraid that he would not be able to hear it.

"No spitting, no littering, no damage to greenery, no smoking in public places, no swearing... um... no jaywalking... and, and... ah, and no damage to public property. Ah Choo!"

I was stunned.He asked over there: "Excuse me. Excuse me, is there any more questions I need to answer?"

I shook my head and said, "No... no, no need." Without realizing that he couldn't see at all.

There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, and suddenly he probed: "Chen Jia?"

I was stunned, did he hear it?What to do, what should I do?Admit it or deny it, or... or just hang up? !

Before I could think it through, he sighed at the other end: "Is it Chen Jia? What are you doing? Pretending to be organized by some city civilization. I donated blood last week and rested for a few days. I have a fever these two days. It happened just yesterday A bit, choo, choo, choo..." He sniffed: "I still have something important to do, the phone keeps ringing, and I come to answer it without wearing pants, choo... I guess it will get worse this time. "

I just remembered that a few days ago, the company has indeed lowered the blood donation quota, and each branch has three people.This kind of thing is drawn by lottery among the new employees of the company. I was lucky and didn't get it this time.When I thought of him getting sick again after donating blood, I was immediately at a loss: "I, I... I just wanted to make a joke with you, that... Yesterday my colleague said that he was pretending to be the City Civilization Office to call a friend... Let's see how many people will be fooled... "I had no choice but to find an excuse to lie desperately, regretting to death in my heart.

"Boring..." he said, his voice was muffled, and it was indeed more boring than before. After a short pause, he said, "How can you make up for playing tricks on me?"

"I...I...let's see you now!" I don't know why I, who refused to even take the initiative to make a phone call, was willing to take the initiative to find him at this time.

"Hehe," he laughed, "Okay, it just so happens that no one is making lunch for me today. But I want to eat Zhen Ding chicken!"

"Yeah!" I nodded heavily on the phone.Well, he couldn't see again.Despise yourself one more time.Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he asked on the other end, "Hey, do you know the way?"

This is really on point.I groaned and said, "Oh, I only have a general impression, I don't remember."

He scolded: "Stupid. XXX, No. XX, XX Lane, XX Road, come from your company on No. 44 and turn to No. 72. Get off at XXX Station, which is directly opposite the road in our community."

I hurriedly took a pen and paper and wrote down the house number, saying oh oh oh.

After hanging up the phone, I asked the leader for leave, saying that my mother was ill.Then I went out and bought half a Zhen Ding chicken, packed two bowls of chicken porridge and some chicken gizzards, and I took a taxi to his house.The bus was too slow, so I had to spend a little extra time.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, he came to open the door. Sure enough, his complexion was not very good, and he was dressed tightly and looked listless.Seeing my fierce face, he dragged me in: "So fast! You brat, what are you eating!"

I hurriedly raised the takeaway in my hand: "Here, here, I bought half a chicken, and chicken porridge, which is still hot, and your favorite chicken gizzards."

I moved the small table to his bedside, and I insisted that he sleep on the bed and I would get him to eat, and then I held my chin and watched him drink the porridge.

He drank half a bowl of porridge, his face turned a little red, and a layer of sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, and then he looked up at me: "Why are you so stunned, why don't you eat? What are you doing just looking at me?"

The roots of my ears were red, so I quickly gave him a chicken leg, scratched my hair, lowered my head and muttered: "Well, I'm sorry, I really didn't know you were sick, um... Your condition didn't get worse, did you?"

He glared at me and didn't answer, just asked, "How do you know I'm home?"

I blurted out: "You haven't contacted me for a few days, I'll call your company..." I regretted it halfway through, and hurriedly shut up.

He didn't care, and said with a hum: "I'm very busy these days, and I have to help you look after the house and I was drawn to donate blood. By the way," he swallowed the chicken in his mouth and looked at me: "I have a friend My cousin has a house for rent, the price is very cheap, only [-] a month, but it is a little far from your company, do you want to go and have a look?"

I just look at him.

"You idiot, why are you smirking? Eat!"

Peng Zhiran's friend's cousin's house is not close to our company, but it is about 10 minutes away from our respective units.

I originally wanted to borrow a house to be closer to him, but now the distance is almost between the two of us, and the price is really cheap, so I nodded immediately.

Peng Zhiran looked at the empty room and frowned: "There is nothing, and I have to buy furniture. How much does it cost?"

I made fun of him for not understanding the market: "It's all like this. There are no furniture in more than 300 houses outside, and they are all rough. There is a gas stove here, which is already good. At that time, I will just buy a mattress and a plastic wardrobe. , What kind of furniture should I buy?"

He nodded: "Then I'll do it with you. That way, I'll feel more at ease when I stay out late at night to make money."

I happily said, "Welcome, welcome, please don't be polite to me." After speaking, I remembered the important point and stared at him: "You are not allowed to bring women!" Then I said guiltyly: "My mother will kill me if she misunderstands! "

He hooked me over, clamped my neck with his armpit, and rubbed my hair: "Got it! You rambunctious."

Ouch, I struggled to free my neck from under his armpit, combed my hair: "Don't mess with my hairstyle!"

I made an appointment with the landlord for a day to sign the contract, paid the money, and took the house key. I took Peng Zhiran to the textile market to buy things.

I bought some plastic floors, bought a thicker mattress, and built a detachable plastic wardrobe. The two of us roughly arranged the house, and then made an appointment to go to my house to help me move.

I waited for everything to be settled before I went back and told my mother.My mother scolded me for a long time, and finally said helplessly that you have already signed the contract, so you can do whatever you want.Then, while helping me dig out the quilt I had when I was living in school, I was told to take some things with me, and to come back to change the rest when I needed them, and asked me how many days a week I had to go home for meals.

I nodded vigorously, packed a lot of things and came out.

On the day of moving, Peng Zhiran even brought two of his children to help out, one named Luo Feng and the other named Liang Mingchuan.

The four of them took the bus with their big bags and small bags and moved them there, spreading them all over the room.Peng Zhiran looked at the bowl I brought over and was surprised: "Why bring this bowl, it's fine if you can't buy it anymore!"

I glared at him: "Everything is ready-made at home, just bring it if you don't want to. You know how to buy it, what a prodigal. I still have to save money to buy a TV!"

Liang Mingchuan echoed: "Yes, yes, this guy is the most prodigal! Peng Zhiran, when you marry a wife in the future, you really need to take care of it for you, otherwise your family will not be able to pile up sooner or later!"

Peng Zhiran nodded while putting on his shoes and preparing to go out to buy a frying pan: "Yes, yes, yes, you must marry someone who is as good at housekeeping as Chen Jia!"

Me: "Bah, get out!"
