Chapter eighty one
"Then what are you going to do in the future, boss?" I said curiously.
The boss smiled wryly and said, "It depends on the situation. My educational level is not high, so I just do restaurant business. Now it seems that this store can't be maintained. I'll go to other schools to see if I have any hope of renting a store."
"If you can't rent it..."
"Then go to work outside the country and take your daughter with you." Speaking of this, the boss's expression became even more entangled and painful.
"Your daughter is in the third year of junior high school, right? Transferring to another place will not have any impact on her studies?" I asked.
"There's nothing, don't you think?" The boss wiped the table helplessly, "Otherwise life will not be able to live. The era is different now, and the gap between rich people and ordinary people is getting bigger and bigger. People can buy BMWs by sitting in front of the computer and using their hands. For about one million, we are just working as a hard worker and living together. Young man, study hard and get into a good university in the future so that we won't be trampled by others. Only then can we stand out. Don't learn from us who are eliminated by the times, and live by others' faces."
The boss's words were filled with infinite sadness, and my heart was slightly touched. At this time, two more colorful girls walked into the store and asked him to order food. The boss stopped wiping the soup on the table and walked up to ask the other party what food they wanted to order.
I held a plastic bag in my hand and thought for a few seconds. I turned around and looked at the cubicle Wei Wenlong in the compartment with helplessness and was still entangled by the lively girl, pulling her sleeves. The girl jumped away and slapped Wei Wenlong's arm with a smile on her face, and blinked her eyes to ask what the deep meaning of Wei Wenlong's "woman".
Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt that this scene was both so warm and so desolate.
I sighed lightly, said nothing, but walked out of the store slowly.
When I went out, I accidentally glanced back and saw Wei Wenlong's amber eyes looking at me calmly.
...
After returning home, Axue had already returned home. I first made evening dishes for Axue, and then taught Axue to do evening homework. At school, Axue's grades were not extremely excellent, but the top fifteen could still be stable, and if she performed well, she could also enter the top five.
When I was teaching A Xue homework, I somehow thought of Wei Wenlong and suddenly felt that I was quite similar to him.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing me staring blankly while teaching, Axue looked up and asked me with some sensitivity.
"Oh, nothing." I smiled and continued to lower my head to guide Axue's homework.
As for the Fox Fairy... she was lying on the sofa and watching TV boredly. Moreover, the woman Fox Fairy always likes to occupy the remote control. Basically, A Xue and I don’t have the chance to watch TV.
There were no surprises in the evening self-study class. In addition to doing homework, Wei Wenlong spent almost two classes.
By chance, I paid special attention to Jin Na and found that she was also lying on the table for a night study session like Wei Wenlong, and I don’t know what happened.
After returning home, I saw my mother, and after taking a shower with Axue, I returned to my own room to prepare for the night.
The fox fairy had already been lying on the bed, holding my pillow in her arms, her hair fell to the ground, and she squinted her eyes lazily, looking at me sitting on the ground reading.
Thirty books were piled up by my bed. Ten of them were borrowed from the school library, and the other twenty were bought from the bookstore near the school.
"What book is like an iron plate?" The fox fairy asked me with a narrowed eyes, ""Yongle Encyclopedia"? "Siku Quanshu"?"
"No, it's a multilingual research and a language dictionary for the corresponding countries." I showed the book in my hand and said, "The soul-grabbing technique must make the other party understand my commands before it can be used. If the other party is a foreigner, there will be language barriers, so I must avoid this possibility."
"I thought it very thoroughly." The fox fairy said in praise.
"There are 5,651 languages in the world. There are about 2,790 dialects for ethnic minorities, including 13 languages with a population of more than 50 million, including Chinese, English, Indian, Russian, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Indonesian, Portuguese, Bengali, Italian and Arabic. Now I have to learn these languages as much as possible."
Hearing my words, the fox fairy narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her face slightly gloomy:
"You can learn so many languages?"
I smiled and said, "Of course you don't need to learn them all. Just some of the simplest words. For example, the two most common high-frequency words in the soul-catching techniques, "die" and "protect me".
The fox fairy tilted her head, and a faint smile flashed across her beautiful face:
"So that's it. That's straightforward and effective."
"I always like to do the most effective things in the simplest way," I said.
The fox fairy was silent for a moment and said, "It's good to read books. But Wang Yisheng, I advise you not to forget that writing is more important than writing. If you are too immersed in books, you will be too dysfunctional, at most you will be a handsome and polite book bag and cannot climb out of the well. Don't forget that sentence: It's better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books."
I closed the book and smiled at the fox fairy:
"Of course I understand this principle. But now my mouth is my weapon. The most basic thing is to practice my mouth well. The most effective way to practice your mouth is naturally to read a lot of books... By the way, your words were said by Bian Huaduo, and he said halfway: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of miles. It is better to follow countless people than to see countless people. It is better to guide the way. It is better to understand it yourself than to understand it yourself than to follow the steps of a successful person."
"It's so poor." The fox fairy looked at me blankly and said the whole sentence. Finally, she narrowed her eyes, spat, then pulled over the quilt at the head of the bed, covered her body, turned her face, shook her hair, and ignored me.
I glanced at the fox fairy with her back curled up to me, smiled and stopped talking.
Night, return to silence.
I don’t know how long it took, a clear and white full moon rose from the night sky outside the window. The cold moonlight spread like layers of water ripples in the black sky, covering the whole night in a veil called hazy.
Just in the quiet room late at night, I closed the book. Unintentionally, my ears trembled, and suddenly I heard the fox fairy who should have fallen asleep quietly spit out a faint sentence like smoke and fog:
"Thirty years have passed, and it's still so ugly, the moon."
A woman who even dares to call her ugly one is the fox fairy.
The next day was weekends, and school didn’t have to attend classes. I was at home that day. On the one hand, I was tutoring Axue for homework, and on the other hand, I was taking care of my mother... and the troublesome woman, Fox Fairy.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, I went out and went to the bank to withdraw money, and then went to the landlord to pay the money.
After accurately measuring the work and rest time of Qian landlord, I easily met Qian landlord in Qian landlord’s house on the first floor.
"It's you." When I opened the door and saw me, the landlord Qian looked gloomy.
"I'm here to pay the rent for this year."
I smiled and handed over the rent in white letter paper to the landlord's hands.
"Qian Huifang, I think you should have received a notice from the demolition office that cancelled the land demolition here? As agreed, I will live here until the house is rotten."
I smiled, then looked directly at Qian Huifang.
Qian Huifang looked a little ugly. She looked at the envelope in her hand and looked at me again, with a gloomy face covering her face.
"How did you... know that the demolition office will cancel the demolition plan here? You seem to have expected it?"
Qian Huifang looked at me, her pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and asked her questions about me.
"Because I know that the demolition land here does not comply with the provisions of the Transportation Law. The Transportation Bureau will not pass it." I looked at Qian Huifang and said.
Qian Huifang's face was even more confused:
"You... know the traffic law in Wuxi?"
I nodded and said:
"Of course I know that I have memorized the forty-nine administrative laws and the penalty regulations."
Didn't I wait for Qian Huifang to talk about the club more? I continued:
"You count the rent fee yourself, you won't lose a penny. Within a year, unless the rent expires or the house is rotten. I think you should have no reason to disturb my family again."
As I said that, I left the door, closed Qian Huifang's house, and left straight away.
Although the weekend is short, it is indeed a rare leisure time for me.
Besides, the spring was also very bright that day, because it was spring, and several small flower beds near the apartment that were unattended were covered with wild flowers. I think it was a waste of time to stay at home.
Even the woman, Fox Fairy, said that she was so hot at home that she wanted to go out for a walk.
"Wang Yisheng, I'm going out." In the afternoon, the fox fairy, who was lying on the sofa for a long time, spoke to me without any defense.
At that time, I was tutoring Axue for his studies.
When I heard the fox fairy speak, I frowned and turned back:
"Go out? What do you want to do?"
"Stroll around." The hair stood upright, the fox fairy turned her head, and a pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly at me. The glossy red glowing on her lips made my eyes a little confused.
