Chapter 127 Interview
Bai Zhining is still looking forward to the life of moving to the apartment.
First of all, she no longer needs to spend so much time traveling back and forth in the car every day, and second, she no longer needs to be a light bulb for Song Yiqing and Lin Yifei, and third, she also has her own private space. Thinking about it, I feel happy, as if I have a place of my own in this city. My own place, although this place is temporarily rented, but I paid the money myself, there is no reason to be driven away.
Thinking of being ridiculed by Xia Jingqiao's mother Lin Shuying that day, Bai Zhining wished she could slap her in the face. Of course, this could also be a bit of lust, after all, Lin Shuying is an elder, so she can't do that.
Due to the nature of her work, Bai Zhining does not have a fixed holiday on weekends. They implement a holiday system, which means that they will not have time to play with friends in the future. Bai Zhining is a little sad, but for the sake of the future, she endures up.After she went to the company that day, she obviously found that the atmosphere in the company was not right.
She has been working in her new job for a few days, but she never expected that the relationship with her colleagues is still quite tense. She seems to be unable to squeeze into the circle of her colleagues. The most common thing that happens is that she sees several colleagues chatting very happily together. But every time I saw her coming, the topic stopped. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and stopped talking, and then went to work, as if Bai Zhining was a special variant.
Although Bai Zhining has worked hard to deal with the relationship between colleagues, such as saying hello and hello to colleagues every time she meets them, such as asking colleagues if they need to bring food and coffee during meal time, when colleagues are too busy, she will Going forward to help, because she has no experience in this field, she is modest and prudent when dealing with people, she is afraid of offending others by neglecting some details, but Bai Zhining is so diligent and conscientious in her work and life, she still hasn't changed her colleagues Because of this, Bai Zhining also felt very distressed.
Among the colleagues, Xiao Guan is familiar with her, probably because of work, so she has more contact with Xiao Guan on weekdays. She asked Xiao Guan if there was something wrong with her. Xiao Guan hesitated for a while, and said: "You I think too much, don't mind these things too much, it's all based on ability, maybe one day, everyone will see your ability and treat you better."
Bai Zhining felt that what Xiaoguan said was normal and correct, and she cherished the opportunity to work and learn with Xiaoguan even more. In her heart, she was grateful to Xiaoguan for his enlightenment and help in her work. She decided to treat Xiaoguan as a Treat like a good friend.
But Bai Zhining's idea was quickly overturned. In the morning, she followed Xiaoguan to interview an old man. Before going, Bai Zhining didn't know the identity of the old man. Xiaoguan told Bai Zhining the precautions for the interview. Ask her to try to get some words from the old man. Although Bai Zhining doubted the feasibility of this method, due to her ignorance of the work, she readily accepted it.
The car was circling on the small road between the mountains. This is the suburban countryside of the city. Compared with the prosperity of the big city, it is so defeated. There is not even a better road. Dust is flying outside the car window, as if all the dust I can't wait to elope with the car. If there are other cars coming, I have to stop the car to give way, because the road is too narrow, and there is no way to pass without stopping.
Xiao Guan closed his eyes in the car and was not interested in the scenery outside the window at all. Bai Zhining saw the crops outside through the flying dust. Since it hadn't rained for a long time, they showed a raised head It looks listless on the ground. Although it is autumn, the climate near noon is still very hot.
Bai Zhining thought: This is Qiuhu, it's so hot.She wanted to ask Xiao Guan about the purpose and matters of this interview, but Xiao Guan seemed to have not had a good rest, and dozed off in the car along the way. The driver was a middle-aged uncle, and everyone in the car was silent. Bai Zhining I can only look at the receding scenery outside the car window, it seems that it is getting more and more remote. I have lived in this city for so long, and this is the first time I know such a remote place.
Finally arrived, the car stopped in a remote small village, it was lunch time, Bai Zhining could already smell the aroma of food after getting off the car, it was someone who was frying bacon.
Bai Zhining's stomach is really hungry, but the house in front of her is still an adobe brick house in the 70s and [-]s. The roof is covered with some broken tiles. If not, there will still be water leaks in the house, don't ask her why she knows this, because she used to live in such a house when she was a child. Take out the water container and put it in the leak to catch the water that leaks from the roof.
Bai Zhining still felt scared when thinking about these fragments hidden deep in her memory. She worried all night that she would be washed away by the rain, and she was so uneasy even in her dreams. The population is sparsely populated, and most of the people left in the village are old people and children. The middle-aged people in the village have all gone to the city. Bai Zhining did not expect that there are so many left-behind children and old people here.
But aren't they in charge of entertainment?How could you suddenly care about these left-behind old people and children?With doubts, Bai Zhining followed behind Xiaoguan. They were asking where an old man named Liu lived. After asking a few passers-by, they finally found out where the old man lived.
The two walked into a small alley, stepping on the moss-covered road, Bai Zhining vaguely felt as if she had returned to the ancient times, at the end of the alley was a small house, Xiao Guan knocked on the door, and asked: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Bai Zhining put her ears on the whitish wooden door. There were already signs of termite erosion on the wooden door. After a while, there was some movement from inside. The door opened, and the first thing that appeared in front of them was an old man, aged Very tall, with thinning white hair and ragged clothes, he opened a pair of cloudy eyes and asked loudly, "Who are you looking for?"
"Old man, is your name Liu XX?" Bai Zhining asked.
"What, what did you say? I can't hear you." The old man asked the two loudly again, and Bai Zhining realized that his hearing was not good, so he asked loudly: "Grandpa, is your name Liu XX?"
The old man heard clearly this time, nodded to the two of them, and asked again: "What do you want from me?" After speaking, he asked the two of them to come in and sit down. Bai Zhining walked into the room and was stunned by the scene inside. There is no light, there is no decent furniture inside, and the house is bare. The old man took two chipped bowls and poured two glasses of water for Bai Zhining and Xiao Guan to drink.
Xiao Guan took out the camera and took pictures in the old man's house. The old man seemed to be aware of Xiao Guan's behavior and asked her what she was doing. Xiao Guan said to the old man: "Grandpa, it's okay, don't worry, we just want Let me interview you to let more people know about the life of left-behind elderly people.”
The old grandpa's eyes turned red, Bai Zhining wanted to find a place to sit down, but she looked around the whole house, but couldn't find a chair without dust, a bed in the room was the only place she could sit, so she had to stand awkwardly. with.
"Old man, don't you have relatives?" Bai Zhining felt that the old man in front of her was really pitiful, but wouldn't his relatives feel distressed?
The old man didn't speak, just raised his hand to wipe away his tears, probably no one came to take care of the old man for a long time, the old man was very happy to see Xiao Guan and Bai Zhining.
Xiaoguan asked some questions and recorded the whole process with a camera. Although Bai Zhining didn't know why Xiaoguan did this, it seemed that the previous "I am a singer" program was going to shoot The artist's family will never be this old man.
The old man is old, so he answered some questions asked by Xiao Guan irrelevantly. The two stood at the old man's house for a while. After a long time, he pulled Xiao Guan to find a broken chair and sat down.
The old man walked to the other end of the room to make a fire and cook. Because the light was too dim, the flames from the match shone on the old man's face, criss-crossing. Bai Zhining went up to help, but Xiao Guan stood aside for fear of dirtying his delicate clothes. Watching, Bai Zhi was chatting with the old man while adding firewood to the pit.
The old man didn't have anything to eat, so he washed the water spinach planted by the door, poured a little oil into the pot, and put the vegetables in the pot to fry. Bai Zhining set the fire up and the vegetables were cooked soon Yes, the old man put a little salt, and then the dishes were served on the table, and the old man took down a piece of bacon hanging from the stove.
"Old man, you can save this piece of meat!" Bai Zhining guessed that this piece of meat should be roasted during the Chinese New Year. Now that it's autumn, the old man has never been willing to eat it. If it wasn't for her and Xiao Guan's arrival, the old man might Will hang there forever.
"No, I'm happy today. Don't look at the color of this bacon. It's delicious when fried." The old man insisted on frying the bacon, and the three of them were preparing to eat at the dinner table, although they were not very willing to eat things made by the old man. Because of the lack of taste, Bai Zhining is not picky about food, but the old man's dishes are really not very tasty, he put too little salt, but he didn't seem to notice, he ate with gusto, showing his toothless gums.
Seeing that Xiaoguan and Bai Zhining didn't eat much, they enthusiastically put the bacon into their bowls.
