Chapter 5 News from Grandma
She sat on the delivery box, took out her cell phone, found an outdoor goods store and placed an order.
Outdoor tent, moisture-proof mat, sleeping pad, camping lamp, foldable multi-function shovel, stove...
The image of time travel in my mind changed from a woman wrapped up in a ball to a woman wrapped up in a ball, with each of her fingers hooked onto a large bag.
Su An chuckled, breaking the tranquility of the space.
After packing up these express deliveries, Su An felt a little hungry. She excitedly took out a new pot from the kitchen and prepared to cook.
There was music playing on the phone, and Su An was humming along with the rhythm of the music.
Wash the pot, dry it with hot fire, pour oil into it, and shake the pot to make the oil evenly spread inside the pot.
Wait until the oil is hot and smoking, then turn off the heat and let the oil moisten the entire pot. This is called opening the pot.
The pot is very easy to use and not sticky at all.
Wait until the oil in the pan cools down a bit.
Su An turned on the fire again, poured in oil, waited for the oil to heat up, added a little salt, turned down the heat a little, and beat in two eggs.
There was a sizzling sound in the frying pan as the egg solidified in the pan, turning into a poached egg with a golden edge.
She flipped the poached eggs over until both sides turned golden and crispy, then added water to the pot.
Add noodles to water, salt, soy sauce, and pepper. When the noodles are cooked, sprinkle with a handful of green vegetables.
The homemade vegetable and egg noodles are ready.
When taking the soup out of the pot, Su An added a little MSG and sesame oil, and then poured it into a newly bought soup bowl.
Su An left the kitchen with the bowl of soup and went straight to the sofa and coffee table. She turned on the TV, found a cartoon to watch, and ate lunch.
Su An picked up a mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a bite of the fried egg.
The fried egg soaked in oil is fragrant, the noodles are soft, smooth and sweet. A bowl of vegetarian noodles does not have the overbearing aroma of a big meal, but it is simple and delicious.
A sip of hot soup, with a slightly salty and fresh taste, makes people feel very comfortable.
Su An smiled with satisfaction.
In the afternoon, Su An took advantage of the good weather and lay down on a lounge chair in the yard, drinking juice and typing on his phone while enjoying the breeze.
Right now.
She gradually received information from her elementary school classmates and neighbor's sister.
She was stunned when she saw the message.
Grandma is definitely not here.
Her heart sank, but she also felt a sense of relief.
It was like a stone that had been weighing on my heart had fallen off.
Although it is heavy, it is finally settled.
The falling stone made her feel like a kite with a broken string, giving her a sense of helpless freedom amidst her panic.
Speaking of asking about my hometown.
Su An did it on the first day after his rebirth.
On the first day when Su An went out to look for a house, he contacted his junior high school classmates in his hometown to ask for help in asking about his grandmother's situation.
Ren Jing, my junior high school classmate who I haven't contacted for a long time, is a warm-hearted girl. She didn't study well in junior high school and didn't get into high school, so she learned hairdressing. Now she runs a barber shop in her hometown county and lives a happy life.
The two had a good relationship when they were in junior high school.
We have contact information, but we don’t chat often.
After a brief greeting.
Ren Jing took Su An's request to help him very seriously.
She was happy to help her and refused Su An's red envelope as a reward.
This morning, she went out and drove to a small town thirty kilometers away from the county seat, where Grandma Su An lived.
She had just arrived at Su An's hometown and found that the door was locked and no one lived there. She took photos and videos of her and replied to her message.
It just happened at this moment.
The neighbor's sister also gave the news.
The neighbor's sister works in another place, similar to her, in a company in a big city that works with terrible overtime hours.
Yesterday was Saturday. My neighbor’s sister stayed up all night to finish a project and slept all day. She just saw the news.
She sent a message to Su An saying that she had just called her mother and learned that her grandmother had fallen ill some time ago and had passed away some time ago.
I heard that the funeral had been held a long time ago and it was quite simple. Su An's mother came, had the banquet, received the gifts, and then left. Her mother also gave a gift.
At this moment, the neighbor sister was still comforting her.
Su An thanked her and sent her a red envelope, but she didn't accept it.
A Xiao Ren, the barber: Su An, I just asked the neighbors around here for you, and they said that no one has lived here for a long time, and your grandma has been gone for a while.
A Xiao Ren, the barber: After your grandma passed away, it has been put up for sale.
Sue An: Thank you.
Su An replied to his classmates.
She clenched her fists, clenching and unclenching them over and over again.
It just happened at this moment.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated. The company's department manager called, and Su An answered the call.
A gruff and rough female voice came from the phone: "Su An, where the hell have you been? First you took sick leave, and then you took so many days of annual leave. Don't you know that our department's business is at a critical juncture?"
"Do you have any professional ethics? Did someone die in your family? You left without saying a word. You know how much effort our team put into this project."
"Once you leave, everyone's workload will double. Are you being fair to everyone? You're taking such a long annual leave. How shameless of you to do that? Let me tell you, there are so many graduates from key universities like you. If you get fired, what good job can you find?"
There was a hint of neurosis in his voice, like a patient who was in a trance after working overtime.
Su An knew that the supervisor was not a bad person, but the company was under a lot of pressure and was frantically trying to suppress performance and squeeze out every bit of profit.
Assimilate the leader as if he were a patient.
In fact, she had always taken good care of her at work.
At least he asked her to work overtime, and the overtime pay was just as much, and he also ordered midnight snacks for everyone at his own expense.
However, while the boss was taking care of her, he also did a lot of PUA for her, telling her that Su An should be grateful for staying in the company.
She was able to stay in the company and receive salary and overtime pay thanks to the company's care and giving her, an ordinary undergraduate, the opportunity to work.
Before, Su An also thought that his boss was right.
But after being reborn and thinking about it, this is a pathological situation.
It was obvious that she was going to get a job in a big company after graduation. She had to work hard on her grades, internships, and competitions in school, gave up on continuing her studies, and overcame many obstacles to defeat her competitors in order to get the opportunity to do a formal internship.
How can he be just an ordinary undergraduate? He should be a super hard-working, young and outstanding human being.
As for the internship time, she followed the 996 schedule every day, working at dawn and overtime at dusk. She went home at ten or twelve o'clock every day, often working overtime until three or four in the morning, and then got up the next day to continue working.
She has passed this kind of obedience test of selecting the best from the best, so it would be inappropriate for the company to not want her anymore.
Su An shook her head when she thought of this. How could she still be proud? As a worker who was always busy and easily exploited, how could she still be proud? It was not like she had not studied Marxism-Leninism.
This world of cattle and horses.
It's a bit ridiculous.
Force people to become ghosts.
Su An took a deep breath at this moment, thinking about how to tell his boss to let her accept the result of his resignation and not to let anger affect her health.
But I heard her complaining about the person who was most important to her.
"Why aren't you replying? Doesn't your grandma need care? Are you suffering from some kind of mental illness by hugging the bear every day? You little girl..."
Su An suddenly couldn't suppress her anger, she twitched the corner of her mouth and spoke directly.
