”Here. When you went to eat, you saw that the warehouse wasn't very clean, so without your permission, you cleaned it a bit. ”
”It's fine, I don't need to agree to these matters.”
The taxi kept heading out of the suburbs, and I wondered more and more. There were restaurants outside the suburbs?
A girl, a girl a little younger than us. Sitting at the table, the table was filled with delicious food.
When the girl saw A Xin had returned, she said jubilantly, ”Brother, you're back!”
”Brother Yin, have a seat.” A Xin quickly invited me to sit down.
The girl stepped forward and smiled at me. ”Hello, Brother Yin.”
I was dumbfounded. There was actually such a pair of siblings living under the bridge in the wilderness.
He held the bowl in his hands and ate a few mouthfuls of food. The food was sweet and delicious. It had been a long time since he had a decent family meal.
A Xin fumbled with his teeth to open the beer bottle's cap, I took it and prodded it with my chopsticks: ”A Xin, I'm very suspicious, do you live here?”
”Brother Yin, I apologize. We, we are like this. My father was poor when I was a kid, and he had my sister and nothing to eat. He stole something from the house of the village chief and was beaten to death by the villagers. We two siblings and my mother grew up in the midst of laughter and ridicule from the villagers. My mother couldn't stand this kind of poverty and ran away with someone else. At that time, I was five years old and ate a hundred meals with my sister for a few months. He was often bullied. This is the biggest rubbish dump in Huping City, from now on, the three of us have a roots here, relying on the rubbish in the rubbish dump to survive. Pick up plastic, scrap metal, and bottles from the dump and sell them at the recycling site. When my mother died, when I was thirteen, I could only live with my sister. ”
”Like the other children, we have a desire to know. I used to pick up books in the garbage, so I brought them back to read. Even though he was isolated from the world and was dealing with scavengers every day, he was still slowly learning a little bit of knowledge from reading books. Later on, I thought, a person without any knowledge is really useless. By picking up junk money, I bought a lot of books on teaching courses, flipping through trash during the day and studying at night. Two years ago, I signed up for a correspondence course. ”
”I accidentally discovered that this bridge is much better than the makeshift tent my sister and I used to live in. I secretly pulled the wires from the irrigation machine in the farmland, so no one would find out if the wires were buried underground. It was hot in the summer, so he raised the money and extravagantly bought an air conditioner. Although the two of us scavengers in the garbage dump, but also know that the bacteria is the source of all diseases, every time we come back there in the farmland in the creek clean, and to come back here to have a wash! Thus … The place is very clean, you don't have to worry about that, Brother Yin. The garbage collection in the dumpster could earn up to a thousand dollars a month, but after all. I've been looking for work for a year and no company is willing to take me in. ”
He kept talking, a lot of things, and then he actually knelt down with his sister and thanked me for calling him into the company.
On the second day at work, I withdrew the workers who were doing the work lazily and worked with A Xin as a porter. That's almost fifteen hundred yuan per month.
helped me pour a cup of water and I sat down to drink. When I was about to take my phone to see what time, I saw a text message. It was from Bai Jie! There were only three words in the message: How are you?
What did it mean? What did it mean? It was a little after two in the afternoon, and it was almost six, and I was wondering if I should give her a reply.
But what message? Do you want to say 'I'm fine, please don't mourn'? There was nothing to say back.
A Xin interrupted my thoughts: ”Brother Yin Ran, is it time to get off work?”
”Yes.”
”Then, can I make the bed now?” A Xin lived too far away and could only let him stay with me in the storage room, but he didn't want to move into my room, so he made a bed in the corner.
”Go.”
”Thank you, Brother Yin Ran.” He politely bowed slightly. He's younger than me by a few months, and I don't want him to call me Brother Yin Ran. Just call me Yin Ran, but he won't listen.
At this time, Huang Jianren also appeared, he had truly known that I was back there, and welcomed me with an adorable look: ”Yin Ran, you're here! I knew that with such a high level staff, the Leader would definitely not let you leave! ” Looking at him, I wanted to drag him into the corner of the warehouse and give him a good beating with a brick.
”Yeah. Department Head Huang, you have also lived up to your expectations. It has been three days since we last met, and you have truly impressed me with your achievements! ” I laughed with him.
