She had to drink a lot of water to calm down her stomach. This was all thanks to the water in the public toilet!
He dragged his heavy feet and paced on the street. The scene of people coming and going seemed to have nothing to do with him. Seeing a recruitment notice posted outside a beautifully decorated shop, Jiawei walked in with Lucky in his arms…
"Alright, you've passed the interview. Make a copy of your ID card first. I'll register it.”The man sitting at the desk said.
When he heard that he had passed the interview, Jiawei was so happy that he had nothing to say. However, the second half of his sentence was like a bolt from the blue. She stammered," I…didn't bring my ID card with me!”
"I didn't bring it with me. Don't you know that you usually need an ID card to find a job these days? Then we'll talk about it when you bring it over!”After the man finished speaking coldly, he stood up to see if there were any more applicants.
He had already asked many companies, but he did not bring his identity card or some documents. No one dared to ask for it. Recalling Brother Li, he easily believed her with just a few words and treated her very well. It was just that the lady boss was more realistic!
Why didn't he bring his identification card? Jiawei could not help but blame himself…
The soreness spread from his feet to his heart, but he still had to continue looking for a job. This was a must! Unknowingly, they came to a street. The surroundings were dead silent. The colorful clouds in the sky covered the walls of the six-story houses. The beautiful scenery became the attraction of this place. The doors of every house were tightly shut, as if unwilling to breathe the evening air. Jiawei sat on the public bench, trying to relieve the discomfort on his feet. Unknowingly, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the rosy clouds were no longer there, but darkness gradually approached. It seemed that he would have to sleep on the streets tonight.
Jiawei walked forward, hoping that he could see another shop that still needed people. He hoped that he would not sleep on the streets. After turning a corner, there was a person trying to get up from the ground in front of him. However, it was useless even after a lot of effort. Jia Wei thought about it and decided to go help.
"Let me help you!" Jiawei said to the man who was trying his best to prop himself up with his hands.
"En…Thank you so much." The man replied gratefully.
Jiawei bent down, trying to put the man's weight on his back so that it would be easier to lift him up. The man who saw Jiawei bend down said humbly," Young man, I sprained my foot on a rock. I'm afraid I can't stand steadily either. Why don't you carry me back to my car?"”After saying that, the man pointed at the car behind him.
At this moment, Jiawei looked around the man seriously. There was indeed a fist-sized rock behind the man, and a walking stick was placed on one side of the rock. Behind the rock was a Changan car parked alone by the roadside. The car's hood was suspended in the air. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was damaged by the items in the car. In front of the man was a cardboard box with the words " disposable chopsticks " written on it. The man was about 1.65m tall and of medium build. Moreover, the man's right leg had been amputated, and his empty pants were casually hung on the other leg. No wonder the man had to struggle so hard to stand up!
Jiawei looked at the man's empty pants and nodded in agreement. However, she felt sorry for the first time in her life that she had given a princess hug to a strange man!
Jiawei carried the man back to the driver's seat, took his belongings and crutches, and put them away separately. Then, he planned to leave. He still had things to do! In any case, every second he could buy was worth it.
"Uncle, be careful on the road. I'll take my leave first.”Jiawei said to the man in the driver's seat.
The man stuck his head out of the window and was about to speak when he heard a thud. Jiawei lowered his hair in embarrassment and turned to leave.
"Young man, there's a restaurant up ahead. Let's go have a meal together. I haven't eaten yet.”The man said to Jiawei's back.
There was a restaurant ahead, but it had long been closed. Fortunately, there was a barbecue shop next door. Since the man couldn't move, he gave the money to Jiawei and asked him to buy more…Jiawei took the money and went straight to the barbecue restaurant after getting out of the car. When they came back, they each had a big bunch in their hands. The two of them ate with relish in the car. Jiawei was already very hungry, so he finished a bunch in a few minutes.
"Young man, what's your name?" The man looked at Jiawei's hungry face and said with a smile.
"My name is Jiawei." After answering the man's question, Jiawei buried himself in his bitter food.
"Eat slowly. There's still a lot. Come, drink some water.”The man took out a bottle of mineral water from the car and handed it to Jiawei.
"Why are you on this street?"
"I walked here to find a job."
"You're looking for the wrong job. This Little An Street was about to be demolished, and the people living here were almost gone. " If you want to find a job, you should go to that street..." the man said and pointed out its approximate location." That street has just been built. All walks of life need people.”
It turned out that this deserted street was about to be demolished. No wonder there were not many people! Jiawei thought to himself, but he didn't forget to respond to the man." Okay, thank you, uncle. I'll go take a look later."”
"What uncle? Call me Uncle Nan. Many people call me that. Now, at this time, I'm afraid many people have already closed their doors. Why don't you go and take a look tomorrow…"
"Ah, it's almost closed.”Jia Wei sighed.
"Why? Are you in a hurry to find a job?"
" Yes, yes…I got separated from my friends and was visited by thieves…" Jiawei was still unwilling to tell the truth that he had run away from home. He lied again like last time!
After listening to Jiawei's narration, the man was also angry at his experience.”With a righteous look on his face, he said," You don't have to look for a job anymore. Come back with me. I'll give you the travel expenses!”
Jiawei was shocked by this sentence and hurriedly said," Uncle Nan, I'm already so old. I have to rely on my own hands to earn enough money to go back." If my parents knew that I came back with someone else's gift, they would think that I didn't live up to their expectations. Uncle Nan, I'm very grateful for your good intentions, but I won't accept what you're doing.”
Uncle Nan felt that Jiawei had a backbone. After thinking for a while, he said," My family just opened a supermarket not long ago. It's been quite busy these days. Many times, the three of us can't handle it. If you're willing, help me for a few days!" After these few days, you'll have earned back your travel expenses.”
Jiawei felt that it was not bad, but if that was the case, he would have to face this lie one day. He could not care less about the current situation. He could only face it when the time came. Thus, Jiawei agreed.
Uncle Nan looked ahead. Although his hands were controlling the steering wheel, he was thinking about something else. What was it? It turned out that the house only had two bedrooms and one living room. There was a small study room, but it was filled with goods from the supermarket. He didn't know when he would be able to sort them out tonight…After hesitating for a long time, he still said," Jiawei…"
Jiawei was looking at the plants outside the window. When he heard Uncle Nan calling him, he looked away and replied," Uncle Nan, you called me."”
"Let me tell you something…My house is a little cramped. I'm afraid I'll have to let you sleep on the sofa for the night when we get back. However, it won't be tomorrow night. Tomorrow, we'll tidy up the study room, and you can sleep there.”Uncle Nan was also a little embarrassed to ask the person who had helped him a lot tonight to sleep on the sofa. She also planned to give up their room for Jiawei to sleep in, but her husband was weak and couldn't withstand typhoid fever. He probably couldn't sleep well on the hard sofa!
" Uncle Nan, it's good enough that I have a place to sleep tonight. The sofa is better than sleeping on the streets..." Jiawei said with a smile. He was really lucky. He was just thinking about where to sleep tonight. Although Uncle Nan had expected Jiawei to answer like this, he still felt apologetic.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at Uncle Nan's empty right foot.
Her respect for him increased even more. A disabled person was still working so hard for a living…Thinking about herself…
Uncle Nan saw that Jiawei was looking at his right foot and took the initiative to say," It was gone a few years ago. It was in a car accident…If it weren't for this foot, my family wouldn't have been so poor in those years. It even caused my daughter to die…How can we stray off topic?!" Hehe, I won't say anymore." Following that, Jiawei also chose to chat with Uncle Nan about school and family matters.
" We're almost home." Uncle Nan was full of anticipation.
"Jiawei, later, you have to pay attention to the goods in the car. The road ahead is very uneven.”Uncle Nan reminded Jiawei.
"En…alright."
The road was indeed uneven!
" What's going on? There were only a few more stones when we came here. Why are there so many holes now…" Uncle Nan was obviously very angry. At the beginning, there were only stones scattered on the road, but the further they went, the road became unrecognizable. There was either a pit here or a pile of soil there. The goods in the car also fell out intermittently. After picking them up and putting them back, it was not long before it was shaken down again. Jiawei simply followed behind the car, saving time in getting on and off.
After a few steps, the goods in the car were shaken off again. Jiawei placed the goods on the seat he had sat on before. This way, the goods that were shaken off were less. At first, Uncle Nan insisted on not putting it in the passenger seat, but when he saw Jiawei pick up the goods on the ground and stuff them back into the car after taking a few steps…he couldn't help!
After Fei tried his best to finish that section of the road, Jiawei and Uncle Nan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"You've helped me a lot tonight. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to come back.”Uncle Nan handed Jiawei a bottle of mineral water from the car. It was the last bottle.
Jia Wei was also sweating profusely. After taking the water, he drank half of it in one go and said," You're being too polite. If it were another passerby, they would have done the same."”
"That's hard to say! Well, it wasn't far from home. It was only a few minutes 'drive.”Uncle Nan started the car again. Jiawei took advantage of the few minutes 'journey to rest for a while.
Uncle Nan's house was on the third floor of Fengyang District, and the car was parked right below that building. After parking the car, the dizzy Jiawei helped Uncle Nan upstairs. Looking at the houses in the neighborhood, only a few windows still had fluorescent lights…The rest were pitch black. It was already late.
She rang the doorbell. After a long time, she heard footsteps." Why are you back so late?”At the same time, the anti-theft door opened. A middle-aged woman opened the door. She must be Uncle Nan's wife.
" I..." The woman didn't expect that there was someone behind her husband. She swallowed the words she wanted to continue and said with a smile," Come in quickly. It's late at night and it's cold outside."”
