Chapter 142 A woman's boat capsizes quickly
The next day.
Lin Yiyi and Zhao Sheng were doing their work as usual, but today was different. After they arrived at the bookstore and just dusted the books, He Jia came over and handed Lin Yiyi an envelope mysteriously.
A little confused.
Lin Yiyi blinked, looking puzzled, "What is this?"
"Your salary, but since you took eight days off, the money won't be that much."
He Jia talked things out with her mother last night, and both sides took a step back and stopped pushing the issue so much.
I got my salary right away today and I feel so good.
However, Lin Yiyi's salary was prepared in advance by someone else, and she passed it on on behalf of the other party.
Lin Yiyi opened the envelope and counted the amount carefully, to the exact cent: five dollars and eighty-six cents.
It’s a far cry from the amount needed to buy a job.
Lin Yiyi was not in a very good mood. Although she received her salary, it was no different from a drizzle of water.
I was sitting behind the counter, feeling listless and I don't know how long I had been distracted. Finally, a customer came to the bookstore, and everyone immediately perked up to greet him. After all, the bookstore was really too deserted.
There are more book sellers than book buyers.
There were originally very few people coming to the bookstore, and when suddenly one or two customers came, they became the focus of the entire place.
No matter how good the service attitude was, the customer didn't buy anything after shopping around.
It is a complete reversal of the hustle and bustle of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
At noon, after Lin Yiyi had her meal, she went to the scrap yard, gave Zhang Yaowen's coat to Grandpa Zhang, explained the whole story, and chatted with the old man.
Uncle Zhang was puzzled and felt that the two were destined to be together. It was a pity.
Lin Yiyi lay on the recliner, drinking the tea poured by Grandpa Zhang. She didn't know how to taste tea, but she still thought it was good stuff. At least it didn't have any broken tea leaves, and it tasted clear, sweet and fragrant.
Because Uncle Zhang and Lin Yiyi are not in the same social circle, they can tell their elders things that they cannot say to people in the same social circle, and perhaps they can get some advice.
After talking to Uncle Zhang about her recent work troubles and getting some words of comfort, Lin Yiyi saw that it was almost time, so she hurried back to work.
It was just that I met an acquaintance in the bookstore in the afternoon.
It’s Zhang Yaowen, whom I met just yesterday.
Lin Yiyi was a little surprised that she would meet him at her workplace.
I just gave his clothes to his grandfather at noon, and I met him in person this afternoon.
It was a wasted trip.
Has her luck always been so bad?
Because it was working hours, Lin Yiyi didn't call out loudly from a distance. When Zhang Yaowen walked to her counter, she smiled politely.
There were usually few people visiting the bookstore, and suddenly a man in military uniform came in, which made He Jia's eyes widen.
I was so confused that I lost my soul.
She just thought that the man in front of her was good-looking in every way: tall, long legs, and wearing a green military uniform.
He has double eyelids, a square face, dresses neatly, and looks heroic.
He is much better than the blind date she has been dating recently.
The director's son her mother had described to her was like a plucked rooster compared to the man in front of her.
He is so weak and has no masculinity at all.
He Jia's face was burning and his heart was pounding. He quietly took two steps towards Lin Yiyi's counter, wanting to take a closer look, but was embarrassed.
But he finally moved over and pretended to sweep the dust with a feather duster.
Keep your eyes on the watch and your ears on the listen.
She wanted to get to know this gay man, but she didn't know how to start.
It was not until Zhang Yaowen and Lin Yiyi started talking that he discovered they knew each other that hope suddenly arose in his heart.
They have a common acquaintance, which can be considered a kind of fate.
Zhang Yaowen didn't expect to meet Lin Yiyi today. He felt a little regretful after lending her his clothes last night.
Worried about when he would get it back, he had only worn the dress a few times. When he saw her in the bookstore, he was a little surprised and came over to talk to her about the dress.
"Do you work here?"
"Working as a temporary worker here." Thinking of what happened at noon, Lin Yiyi added, "I have already sent the clothes to your grandfather. Thank you for your help yesterday."
It turns out that soldiers have a sense of justice.
It was totally unexpected that someone who was so stingy as to eat his apple would actually come to her aid.
Zhang Yaowen nodded to indicate that he understood. Fortunately, he did not ask about the clothes first, otherwise it would seem that he was fussy.
Zhang Yaowen finally bought two red books and two notebooks in the bookstore and left.
He Jia, who was standing next to him, had already carefully looked him up and down. The more she looked, the more she liked him, and her cheeks turned red.
The blind date her mother arranged for her was really an oddball. He Jia liked soldiers and military men.
As soon as the green uniform left, He Jia could no longer contain her excitement and spoke impatiently: "Yiyi, you know this man, so do you know his name, where he is from, how old he is, and is he unmarried?"
Seeing He Jia's eyes shining and her face red as a monkey's bottom, she was in love with him. Lin Yiyi paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then spoke: "His name is Zhang Yaowen. I don't know the other questions you asked. I'm not familiar with him."
She ran into Zhang Yaowen and a lesbian in the cinema yesterday. Lin Yiyi wasn't sure whether she was Zhang Yaowen's girlfriend or they were in some other relationship.
As for Zhang Yaowen's marital status, she was even less clear, so she didn't reveal too much to He Jia.
He Jia felt that Lin Yiyi must know, but just didn't want to tell her. She heard their conversation clearly, so how could she not be familiar with them?
Feeling unhappy and thinking that Lin Yiyi was not open and honest and petty, He Jia wanted to lose her temper, but thinking that she still needed to know the news about that man from Lin Yiyi, she held it back.
He turned around and stopped talking to Lin Yiyi.
In the eyes of ordinary people, He Jia's family is considered to be well-off. Her parents are both working, and there are only two children in the family, she and her brother. They have been brought up in a spoiled state and have a simple but hot temper.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that He Jia had a crush on Zhang Yaowen. She was full of energy the whole afternoon and took the initiative to chat with others.
But he didn't give Lin Yiyi a good look all afternoon.
Lin Yiyi didn't care and ignored He Jia's childish behavior.
I just wonder in my heart, is there really love at first sight in this world?
Zhang Yaowen really looks... well, how should I put it... weird.
It is true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
