Yearning for the cloud in my heart

When the old man at the gate heard Jiang Ming ask him, he first smiled, and then said several"tricks."

Jiang Ming was filled with joy. He originally wanted to go to the teacher to find out the specific situation, but thought that he would not be able to carry the knitting bag and leather suitcase. So I went to see the teacher, and I thought, let’s find a rental house now and live in it first.

Jiang Ming thought like this as he walked into an alley. On both sides of the alley were private houses on the fifth and sixth floors. As he walked, he looked carefully at something.

On the door of a canteen, two words"rent" were written in chalk.

Jiang Ming put down his suitcase and knitting bag and asked the landlord in the canteen,"Excuse me, are there rental rooms here?"

"have."The landlord walked out of the store, looked at Jiang Ming, and said kindly

"I'll go take a look, okay?"Jiang Ming asked tentatively.

The landlord took Jiang Ming up to the second floor. There was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl sitting at the door of the first rental room 201.

Jiang Ming was shocked when he saw the girl. He felt that the girl in front of him was clearly... Chen Xin.

When the girl saw Jiang Ming, she turned her head shyly, rushed into the room very nervously, and quickly closed the door. When

Jiang Ming saw the girl's back, he understood that the girl didn't recognize him, but the girl in front of him looked very much like Chen Xin. Xin, he couldn't help but feel excited.

There are two people so similar?

"Just 204 is still empty."The landlord said to Jiang Ming, and took out the door key and opened the door of 204.

Jiang Ming walked into the room and saw that a wall was built in the middle and a door was installed to form two small rooms. Jiang Ming thought, if Jiang Yue comes to Wucheng, he will live there In a room inside

"This coal stove and this small table can all be used. The landlord then pointed to the small public health area by the window next to Room 201 and said with a smile,"There is a place for washing vegetables and clothes, and the bathroom can also take a shower." Jiang

Ming nodded. He had decided to rent here.

He went to see Room 201 again. Although the door was closed, he could clearly think of the familiar face.

Jiang Ming asked the landlord:"Excuse me, what is your surname?"

The landlord smiled and said:"My surname is Lu, please call me Xiao Lu.""

Jiang Ming laughed secretly when he heard what the landlord said. I should be about the same age as you. It would be inappropriate for me to call you Xiao Lu.

He thought, and paid the deposit for three months as Xiao Lu asked. He didn't have much money left in his hand for the rent, but he was extremely excited when he took the key. He thought, finally settled in Wucheng. He unzipped the woven bag, put the recorder on the table, and played He listened to the song"Take My Breath Away". He listened to the song, cleaned the room, and thought, this is where my dream will take off. When the girl in room 201 heard the song, she opened the door, and then shyly closed it slowly , when he was about to close them all, he stopped, leaving a small crack in the door.

Jiang Ming started to clean the room, and when he came out to take out the trash, he accidentally saw a crack in the door of Room 201.

I don’t know why, A trace of relief emerged in his heart. He wanted to knock on the cracked door and ask some questions, but when he approached Room 201, he walked away embarrassedly.

Jiang Ming asked Xiao Lu to borrow a car The tricycle went along the narrow street to the market and bought briquettes, pots, bowls, chopsticks and other utensils, as well as rice, oil, salt and two side dishes. The door of room 203 opened, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old and a The eleven or twelve-year-old girl danced face to face and sang heart-wrenchingly:"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth."……"

Jiang Ming felt the fire-like emotion, and he went to see Room 201 again. At this moment, he wished so much that the door would open for something.

The girl in room 201 saw Jiang Ming passing by the door again and again. She walked quietly to the door and looked at Jiang Ming through the crack in the door. What a handsome man. She thought about it and her heart beat fast, but she didn't dare to open the room again. Door.

Jiang Ming felt some strange noises in Room 201. He deliberately listened with his ears sideways while washing vegetables, but could not hear a sound. He prepared the meal and went to the canteen downstairs to buy a bottle of liquor. Jiang Ming thought, today is the first day in Wucheng, so let's celebrate with a drink.

When Jiang Ming raised his glass and drank alone, he remembered the old man who stood drinking alone in the village dealership when he was a child: the old man had a dark face and wore a patched gown. Although the gown was old, it was still clean. The old man came to the store every now and then and stood at the counter drinking. There was an extra-large glass in front of him that could hold three ounces of white wine. Most of the drinks were served with a small plate of peanuts, then broken twists, and then mustard peels.

The last time Jiang Ming saw the old man drinking was sitting on a bench outside the store. The large wine glass was placed on the bench, but there was no drink in sight. The old man stared at something on the road and remained motionless for a long time, as if waiting for something.

A car passed by, and the old man smiled slightly, slowly raised the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip, with a happy smile on his face, and then slowly put down the wine glass.

Most of the people around him couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Ming didn't know the reason, so he curiously asked the person next to him. The people next to him still laughed sarcastically and said,"He was watching the cars and drinking." When

Jiang Ming heard this answer, he once again heard the ridicule from others. He regretted asking anyone else.

Jiang Ming thought about this and thought that his life at the moment was not much different from the old man's situation. Life is always so helpless, who can escape the shackles of fate? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He held the wine glass in both hands towards his distant hometown, then slowly brought it to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

What kind of jobs can I find in the future? How to live in Wucheng? No one can tell me, he thought, and only one person will face it in the future.

Jiang Ming drank a few glasses of wine. When he was a little drunk, he thought of his parents and children in his hometown. He realized that he could not sink. For the sake of all his relatives, he wanted to do a career and must be strong. He thought, drinking one cup after another. He thought, if he gets drunk tonight, he should cheer up and face life bravely tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ming came to the public health area to wash up. At this time, the corridor was extremely quiet, and there was no sound from other rooms.

The door of Room 201 opened slightly. Jiang Ming heard the sound of the door opening. When he turned his head to look, the door closed again.

Jiang Ming felt curious and thought for a moment, could he ask her about finding a job? The words came to my lips, but I still didn't dare to speak, but I didn't dare to knock on the door.

Jiang Ming ran downstairs, where Xiao Lu was sitting in the canteen drinking tea. Jiang Ming tentatively asked Xiao Lu:"Xiao Lu, do you know where the talent market is?"

Xiao Lu asked with a smile:"Are you looking for a job?"

Jiang Ming nodded sheepishly.

Xiao Lu pointed to the newsstand under the eaves and said with a smile:"You don't have to go to the job market. There are recruitment information in the newspaper."

Jiang Ming picked up a newspaper and read it. After reading for a long time, he didn't see anything.

Xiao Lu immediately came over, quickly turned to the"Recruitment" column, and said with a smile:"So many places are recruiting."

Jiang Ming immediately understood that all his hopes were in this newspaper. So he paid for a newspaper and went upstairs very excitedly. Jiang Ming walked up to the second floor and saw girl 201 sitting outside reading a book again.

Jiang Ming wanted to say hello, but couldn't find any reason.

The girl glanced at Jiang Ming secretly and continued reading.

Jiang Ming returned to the rental house and checked the information carefully. Finally, he saw a short recruitment message: a medical device company was looking for a salesperson.

Jiang Ming immediately dialed the phone.

There was a girl's sweet voice on the other end of the phone. Jiang Ming excitedly recorded the address of the recruitment company, and when he rushed out the door, he suddenly saw the girl from 201. The two looked at each other: Jiang Ming felt his heartbeat was beating so hard that he almost said hello to the girl. The girl from 201 showed a hint of familiarity and wanted to say something, but she never spoke.

Jiang Ming hurried downstairs and asked Xiao Lu which bus to take to Hangkong Road.

"Take bus 526 from Zhenxin Road."

Jiang Ming took the No. 526 bus to Hangkong Road, but was stunned by the prosperity here. It was surrounded by high-rise buildings and crowded with people. He walked to the downstairs of the company he was applying for, took the elevator to the 18th floor, and walked into the company he was applying for. At that time, a fat girl inside sat on a chair at the front desk and looked at Jiang Ming

"Who are you looking for?"The fat girl asked.

Jiang Ming felt that the voice was very familiar, and then he realized that it was the person who had just called him.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a job"

"Please wait a moment, there is someone in front of you applying."

Jiang Ming was stunned, feeling that there was no hope.

"Just wait for that person to come out and then go in. The fat girl looked very enthusiastic,"My name is Yang Feifei. If you need anything, come to me.""

Jiang Ming had no choice but to nod. When he saw computers placed on every desk, he couldn't help but be stunned and even more desperate. He thought that he didn't know how to use a computer.

At this time, a loud voice came from the office and asked:"How much salary do you want per month?"

"At least six thousand."The voice of a young boy.

There was a silence in the office

"Less than 6,000, I don’t want to go to work."It was still the voice of a young boy.

There was silence again in the office, and then there was a small voice. After a while, a young applicant came out.

Jiang Ming stood up quickly, walked over, and rubbed against the young man Passing by. Jiang Ming walked to the door and knocked on the door very carefully.

"Please come in."

Jiang Ming gently opened the door and walked in.

Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was dressed very casually and said with a kind smile:"Please sit down."

Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, then sat down.

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Chen."Jiang Ming said quickly,"My name is Jiang Ming."

"What was your previous job?"

"teacher"

"Why did you become a teacher?"

"I am a private teacher"

"What salary do you expect?"

Jiang Ming thought of the results of the applicants just now, and said euphemistically:"I want to try a position like this, but I will do my best. If I can do this job well, let's talk about the salary, right?

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face:"I understand your situation. My surname is Hu. Your name is Jiang Ming, Manager Hu. I will discuss it with Manager Xiang and then reply to you.""

Jiang Ming nodded and walked out of Manager Hu's office. Manager Hu stood up with interest and said to himself as he escorted Jiang Ming out:"The company is like a pot, you are the bowl, and there is something in the pot. Only in the bowl."
