At twelve o'clock, I rushed all the way..
As soon as I arrived at the site, I rushed in, still thinking about how to explain the past few days to the stationmaster...
The webmaster was busy sorting some documents there. When he looked up and saw me, he was stunned for a moment... a look of surprise appeared on his face, then he put down what he was holding and slowly walked over.
Seeing this, I quickly pulled a cigarette out of my pocket, handed it to him with an apologetic smile, and was the first to speak: "Boss, I'm sorry... I've had some special circumstances these days... I really can't come to work."
The stationmaster took the cigarette but didn't rush to light it. Instead, he looked at me, frowning slightly. With a hint of seriousness in his tone, he said, "Do you know the rules? Absent from work for three days without asking for leave is considered voluntary resignation according to the regulations. You think I'm just playing around here, right?"
When I heard this, I secretly groaned inwardly. Thinking about it, it was indeed me who had gone too far. But my mind had been in a turmoil these past few days. It was Lin Mengxi and Yang Xue again. I was completely distracted and didn't have the energy to call and ask for leave.
The stationmaster looked at me and sighed helplessly: "You young people, you're good in every way... but you just can't control yourselves. Since you were so serious before... forget about the miners' three days' pay. You'll be paid as usual at the end of the month, but forget about going to work... there are too many people here now."
I nodded and said thank you. I was really grateful to him and couldn't help but feel that there are still many good people in this world.
After leaving the station, I drove to the cake shop and spent sixty-six yuan to buy a nice-looking fruit cake, some vegetables, and a bottle of red wine... and waited for Chang Yue to get off work.
Once a man has done something wrong to a woman, he will always treat her better without realizing it. But this kindness is filled with an eagerness to make amends, and it is difficult to immediately soothe the deep guilt in his heart. Just like me now, I always feel that I owe Chang Yue. I try my best to treat her well, but I am afraid that she will notice something is wrong.
It was six o'clock in the evening...it was already dark, and I took Pudding for a walk. Due to the cold weather, almost no one came out...except me, a person with something on my mind, who came out with a little dog that didn't complain...to relieve my mood.
Suddenly, a white Honda came barreling towards me like crazy, its speed frighteningly high. The roar of its engine was particularly piercing in the still night. I was startled and instinctively hugged Pudding tightly. I quickly dodged to the side, finally avoiding it. With lingering fear in my heart, I thought, if the car was going at least 70, if not 80, it would have been a fatal or crippling accident.
I looked towards the direction the car was going and yelled, "Fuck you! You have no eyes, don't you? Is this the right place for cars?"
I was so angry that my teeth were itching..but the car was going too fast and I couldn't see the license plate clearly..I could only stand there and stare..
I frowned and thought for a while. The first person that popped into my mind was Lin Feng. I remembered what he said last time, but I shook my head again. I thought it couldn't be him. It must have been said in anger. He usually looks so elegant. I really can't imagine him doing such a thing. Maybe it was one of those spirited young men who likes to buy this kind of car, modify it, and then drive it around the streets to show off their driving skills.
Thinking about it again, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be those people who have a grudge against me? If so, then this matter would be a bit troublesome. I don't want to implicate the people around me.
At eight o'clock, I finished cooking and hurried to the mall.
I bought a cup of milk tea and waited at the door of Changyue Store. Soon she came out and asked, "Is Yang Xue okay? Did you cry?"
I nodded: "She cried. This girl has had a very difficult time."
After hearing this, Chang Yue sighed softly. A look of regret appeared on her face. She took my arm and said, "She's a good girl... What a pity. I hope she can live a better life in the future... and find a good family to marry."
"Let's go... Let's go back. I'll tell you something later."
"What's the matter?" Chang Yue looked at me curiously.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
…
I was peeling shrimps for Chang Yue and thinking about something.
Chang Yue looked at me, feeling uneasy, and asked softly, "What's wrong? You look distracted."
I opened my mouth slowly and said, "I lost my job." I lowered my head...I didn't dare to look into Chang Yue's eyes. I was a little afraid that she would blame me.
Chang Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. That job doesn't have any future anyway, so if I lose it, I lose it."
After hearing what she said, I felt a little better, but I still hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "How about... you come with me to Hangzhou?"
Chang Yue looked at me puzzledly and asked, "Why? Why do you suddenly want to go to Hangzhou?"
"That friend who had the car accident a few days ago... He's making quite a bit of money building real estate in Hangzhou... I wanted to discuss this with you yesterday, but you told me to take Yang Xue back, so I didn't have time... I thought if we went to Hangzhou, we might have better career opportunities... And since I've lost my job, I could change places and start over... What do you think?"
Chang Yue looked at me and said, "I don't want to leave here for the time being."
"Why?"
Chang Yue hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe I've developed feelings for this place... Besides, my current job suits me pretty well, and I like my current lifestyle. If I go to Hangzhou, I'll have to start all over again... I'm unsure, so I'd rather stay here for now." Her tone was firm, and it seemed she had already made up her mind.
