Chapter 419: A safe arrival at the station, call from my home in 29th Ninth Ninth

I treat these girls equally, but I always feel that MiaoMiao has a little strange feeling towards me. Yes, she doesn't talk much, but with the sensitive sixth sense of a young boy, I don't think I'm guessing.

But you'd better not guess the girl's thoughts. Besides, she is usually very enthusiastic to other colleagues, so I'm no longer polite. I took the bun and swallowed it, then quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face, and looked in the mirror. My god, I'm messy, and it's almost no different from the homeless people on the street. Think about it, running all the way, sweating, gray, all got entangled, is there any appearance? This pair of me, who usually pays great attention to personal image, is even more embarrassing than slapping people twice. Fortunately, with Miaomiao's understanding, I took this little comb and combed my hair quickly.

According to the company's regulations, we will go to work as usual today and tomorrow. From the first day of the Chinese New Year, we will have 7 days off in a row. The two days when our colleagues are going home for the New Year, we have already left. Except for Dave, no one has emerged from my colleagues in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Therefore, the entire office is sparse, and only one-third of the people are left. However, the Spring Festival is approaching, and there are not many things, so the people who stay are also very free. They either hold teacups and chat or are talking on the phone.

At 11:55, Lao Zang came over and called me, saying that he would prepare quickly and go down to have dinner together later. As soon as I was about to get up, I heard the phone ring. When I looked at the number, I knew it was Zitong's phone. Because there was a area code, this number that I had been hanging in my heart. I immediately hung up and asked Lao Zang to go down first. I arrived later, picked up the company's phone and dialed.

It was Zitong, she had already arrived at her aunt's house. Her aunt and uncle-in-law were cooking. This was the phone number from her aunt's house. The car was very on time today, and it was 10 minutes in advance. My aunt went to pick her up. My aunt's house was very close to the train station, just a dozen minutes away. Zihong had already had a holiday and went home last week. From Shimen County to their house, she had to take a car for nearly three hours, so she left after dinner.

I heard her say before that the road from the county town to their home is very difficult to walk. It is all mountain roads and is very rugged. I can't help but remember the road to Pingnan, Ningde some time ago, and told her to be careful and be careful.

Zitong laughed with a "pu" and said, "It's okay, I'm very familiar with this road. When I was in high school, I had to walk twice a month. Don't worry. My aunt has prepared a lot of New Year's goods for me, and I will take me into the car later.

It was not until I heard the sound of her aunt calling her to eat on the phone that I reluctantly hung up the phone.

February 14th, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

I sat down at the office, turned on the computer first, then got up and poured a cup of boiling water in the tea room, took out a tray of small buns I had just bought downstairs from the bag. I just stuffed them into my mouth and swallowed them before I could get a call from my sister.

Today is the last market before the New Year. From tomorrow on, the market will be closed for half a month. Before the Lantern Festival, things cannot be bought at the market. Therefore, almost every household has to go to this last market. Our family is also dispatched, mainly to buy some New Year supplies, because my mother always believes that it is impossible to buy things too early, and the price of this time is generally very high. Only after noon or the last time, the price of the goods will drop.

Originally, I wanted to do the same thing and let my sister hang up the phone. I'll call you so that I can help you and save some money. The long-distance costs are not cheap.

Who knew that my sister said, "No, we made a phone call at the post office, and there were still many people queuing up behind me to call, and the post office would definitely not agree."

Oh, that's it, then forget it

It turned out that my sister had been back for more than ten days. After this semester, it was generally very smooth. Her final grades in each subject were very good. She was assigned to get a scholarship, and the head teacher had already revealed it to her.

Soon the phone was handed to my mother. As soon as my mother said "country", a cry came from there. She asked me how I lived in Shenzhen in a crying voice.

I haven't heard my mother's voice for more than half a year. My nose couldn't help but feel sore, and almost shed tears. But if I cried out and was heard by my mother, she would definitely not know what to think. Maybe I thought I couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes alone. So, I quickly sucked my nose, calmed down, and said with a relaxed laughter, "It's okay, mother, I'm fine, my grandfather didn't tell you, I changed jobs a few months ago. This job is in the downtown of SZ, and the environment is very good. I am now renting a house by myself."

Ah? Renting a house by yourself? Is it expensive?

Not expensive, a few hundred dollars.

Hundreds are not expensive. You are a fool, why don’t you talk to the boss about bargaining when renting a house?

Haha, I said it, it’s the price. I just arrived at the office and ate buns. We have to work for one day tomorrow. The holiday starts on the first day of the lunar calendar and will be held until the seventh day of the lunar calendar.

My mother asked anxiously on the other end, "Can't you come back tomorrow for the New Year?"

I could only smile speechlessly and quickly explained to my mother that I had only been in this company for less than three months, and according to the company's regulations, I could not ask for leave.

My mother was a little angry and said with some annoyance, why don’t this foreigner talk about any favors? He is a member of the unit, so why don’t he ask for leave? What’s the reason? You haven’t tried it with the boss? Remember, if you want to find a big leader, you will not be in charge of the family, it’s useless!

Hahaha, mom, even if the boss agrees, I can’t buy tickets here. You don’t know that tickets here are hard to buy. A friend of mine bought a ticket home. The ticket price is 102 and the handling fee is 200 yuan.

My mother is here, why are you so cheating! Oh, Guoer, mom knows that it is not easy for you to be outside alone. It’s all because your parents are not capable. You have let you run so far to go to work. Oh, you didn’t celebrate the New Year at home during the New Year, and you won’t come back this year.

As I was talking, I heard my mother's sobs on the other end of the phone. I was just thinking about how to comfort my mother, but then my father's dissatisfied scolding came. It's the New Year, why are you crying? The child is pretty good in Shenzhen. He's so big, what can't handle things yourself? You'll worry about it. OK, okay, he has to go to work, don't make things worry about it.
