once absurd

Chapter 1

Standing next to An Xia are two trolley suitcases and a boy over 7 years old. The two of them face a security door with a dusty look. do not go in.

Anxia became more and more irritable, and she frowned and talked to the boy beside her without looking back: "Your grandma has already gone to the hospital, right? Why are both of our mobile phones dead at this time? Let you play games on the road! You See, if something goes wrong then I won't beat you to death!"

The boy lowered his head and muttered guiltily: "Didn't you also check Weibo all the way? You haven't brought me back to grandma's house for eight years. You're talking like you're right!"

"You are poor!" An Xia shook her arm, and took back the key unwillingly, "It's really up to me to deal with you!"

"Can it be my fault?" The boy turned his face away, "If you have time to get angry at me, why don't you hurry up and find out which hospital grandma is in, and you have the right to blame me for wasting time here?"

An Xia rolled his eyes at the boy, turned around and quickly pulled the largest trolley case, "Dudu hurry downstairs with me, let's go directly to the nearest hospital, I'll get news there, and you can find a place to charge your phone!"

Dudu pulled up the trolley case that was one size smaller and followed An Xia downstairs without saying a word, and bumped into An Xia's back as soon as he came out of the building, "What's the matter, Dad, let's go quickly! What kind of scenery are you standing here at this time!"

Anxia didn't speak for a long time, Dudu tilted his head strangely.There was an old man standing opposite, holding several vegetables in his hand, he was staring at An Xia dumbfounded, and then his eyes slowly fell on his face again.

"This is..." The old man's eyes kept moving back and forth on the faces of Anxia and Dudu.

"...Dad!" An Xia suddenly rushed over and grabbed the old man's arm, "Dad! Where is my mother? Where is my mother? I heard from my sister that she is critically ill! Where is she?! What happened to my mother and suddenly..." An Xia's voice trembled and her eyes were red, her composure disappeared in an instant, "Which hospital is my mother in? I'm going to see her right now! Dad, hurry up..."

"What nonsense!" The old man yelled at him with his eyes wide open. "It's been almost ten years since you didn't even return home. How dare you curse that your mother is dying! Your mother is alive and well!" The old man stretched out his hand and pointed Direction, "Your mother is dancing in the square, come in now! Is that kid with you?" The old man looked sullenly at Dudu, "Let's go in, it's not embarrassing to stand outside !"

Anxia and Dudu secretly looked at each other, and they followed behind the old man with their heads down and shoulders shrunk.

After entering the house, the old man sat down on the wicker chair, "Don't sit down! Stand up for me!" He pointed at Anxia, ​​then looked at Dudu, "Who is that kid? What do you mean by coming back with you? Sit on the sofa, I have something to say to An Xia!"

Dudu hesitated for a second, then immediately went to the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, sat upright and looked at Anxia's back and the old man opposite.

"Dad... what's going on? My sister lied to me? She said..." An Xia just stood there, ignoring the box beside him. He breathed a sigh of relief, and started to work on other things Worry.

The old man was still angry, "Don't care if you lie or not, if your sister doesn't lie to you, you will never come back, right? You answer my question first! What's the matter with that child?" Although the old man guessed the general idea, he still wanted to Listen to An Xia's explanation.

An Xia cleared his throat, not daring to meet the old man's eyes, "My son." He whispered.

"Huh?" The old man stared at him with puffy eyes, "It's so loud that you can't hear it!"

"My son!" Anxia puffed out her chest with a guilty conscience.

"What the hell?"

"Dead... gone! His mother died as soon as he was born." An Xia said loudly, bluffing.

Dudu sat there quietly looking at the two people in front of him, drinking water quietly with his cup in his arms.

But the old man suddenly patted the handrail and stood up, pointing at Ansha's nose and gnashing his teeth, shouting: "You bastard! You didn't tell me when you got married, ah?! Raising you for so many years has made you an enemy, ah? You have a child without telling us?! If your sister didn't lie to you, you plan to sever ties with us, right? Ah?! You have lied to us for so many years to study and travel for further study, ah?! I have raised you for so many years, little brat White-eyed wolf! You still have the face to come back! See if I can't kill you!"

As the old man spoke, he took off his shoes and was about to smoke Ansha. Dudu, who had been sitting quietly behind him, suddenly rushed over to block Ansha, "If you want to smoke, hit me!" He shouted at the old man, "As long as I'm with you You will never be allowed to touch my dad's finger! The white-eyed wolf in your mouth has worked so hard to raise me for so many years and has never asked for leave, and has never found me a stepmother! He resigned when he heard that grandma was critically ill. , don’t want anything, bring me back to see you! If you dare to touch my dad’s finger, we will leave immediately! My dad has never relied on anyone to raise me! Now I don’t need to rely on you to live!”

The old man seemed to be overwhelmed by Dudu's shouting, and really stood there motionless listening to Dudu's shouting.

Anxia hurriedly took Dudu behind her, and blocked Dudu with her body, "How dare you shout at grandpa, Dudu, apologize to grandpa quickly, it's rude!"

Dudu didn't speak, and met the old man's gaze stubbornly with his mouth pouting.

It took the old man a long time to recover, and his anger disappeared all of a sudden, "Okay, you have a backbone! Let's talk nonsense at night, your mother will come back after dancing, I will cook now, you can call your sister too Come back from the phone to eat, there is fruit in the refrigerator, you take it out to...who will eat it."

Dudu hurriedly came out from behind An Xia, "My name is An Jiayan, I am seven and a half years old and in the first grade of elementary school. Grandpa, you can call me Jiayan!"

"Hey, Jiayan? Why did I hear your father didn't call you that..."

"I don't like that nickname, just call me Jiayan!" Dudu emphasized.

The old man squeezed his face, turned around and went out again, "I'll go downstairs to buy some more vegetables, and I'll add more vegetables today!"

When the door of the house was closed, Anxia let out a heavy breath, lay down on the sofa, rested her head on her hands and looked at the ceiling, "It's fine, it's fine!"

"What about the job?" Dudu sat next to Anxia with a worried expression on his face, "If we resign over there, we will have no income. It's hard to say whether grandpa will let us live here. We still have to rent a house, and I have to Going to school...or I can discuss it with my grandpa, how about I clean their house every day to earn some pocket money?"

An Xia smiled, "What are you worried about if you are too poor! Even if I resign, I won't starve to death right away." An Xia turned over and lay on her side, looking at Dudu, "We still have some savings From tomorrow, I will look for a job during the day, and I will inquire about the school for you by the way."

"Well," Dudu agreed, "I'll go with you too, I don't want to be your ghost here and be scolded by grandpa!"

"Come on you!" An Xia hugged Dudu.

"Are you still looking for a job in a fast food restaurant?" Dudu nestled in An Xia's arms.

Anxia thought for a while, "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation. My major is too unpopular, and there is probably only one company that can match me here, and I don't really want to go back to that company to work. If I pick you up and down while working If I learn to take care of you, I probably can only find a shift job in a fast food restaurant."

Dudu was serious in Wo Na Na, as if he was thinking about something and didn't speak again.

An Xia didn't expect that the opportunity to work would come so soon. He just brought Dudu back to his parents the afternoon before, and got the news from his sister An Ke that he could interview the next day, and the job was very suitable for An Xia. It was his major in graduate school.What's even more exciting is that this company has just been established for a year and is just in its infancy, and it is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles from the counterpart company that Ansha worked for before, one in the east and one in the west. The poles can't be hit, the years of establishment are different, the qualifications and funds are different, and the treatment is also different. An Xia is not worried at all about meeting acquaintances here.

He set off from home an hour and a half earlier than the agreed time for the interview, took the subway an hour, and An Xia got there half an hour earlier.

He was surprised when he entered the office building. In such an unpopular industry, he didn't expect the young people who came to apply for the job to crowd the entire corridor.He always felt that it should be the same as when he was working nine years ago. Because the major was too cold and there were not many people studying, he successfully signed a contract with the company before graduation.

Anxia found the front desk that was about to be overwhelmed by the crowd, asked for a form for registration, and casually asked the girl at the front desk, "How come there are so many applicants for such a cold industry? Are they all professional?"

The girl glanced at An Xia with a little surprise, "It is because the major is too small that it attracts all the talents of this major. It is natural that there are many people."

An Xia sighed silently about the passage of time, and then waited by the number, thinking to himself that Dudu was lucky to stay with his parents, otherwise he would definitely ridicule him when he saw such a situation.An old man in his thirties competes for job opportunities with a group of young people in their 20s. How embarrassing!

I'm sorry, what else can I do, I can't rely on my parents for food at this age, and I have to raise a child.The salary here must be higher than that of fast food restaurants, and Anke has already greeted her friends during working hours, so she can discuss it with Anxia.Anxia didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, but he didn't know that the company would want him after he had been vacant for more than eight years?

He waited for more than four hours, and when the number of people in the corridor gradually decreased, he finally heard the assistant inside calling his name.

After straightening her clothes, Anxia walked into the interview office calmly with a smile on her face.There was only one person opposite, and Anxia couldn't see what that person looked like because of the light behind him, but this did not affect his performance.

He looked at the blurred outline, and when he perfectly presented the set of speeches he had prepared, the person who was applying for the job on the opposite side still didn't move.

Anxia gradually couldn't sit still, what's the matter with that person not making a sound?Not satisfied?disappointment?Fell asleep?did not hear it?

Just when he was a little shaken, the man suddenly asked excitedly: "An Xia?... Is it really you, An Xia? Why did you suddenly... Where have you been for more than eight years?"

An Xia's heart beat faster when he heard this familiar voice. Even though he couldn't see the man's face clearly, he had a bad feeling.
