But when he sprinted up the slope, his left foot got caught on a rock covered by grass and fell. The gray rabbit also ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Xu Sigui, who had no choice but to give up the chase, looked at the instep of his left instep. Although the skin was not broken, it had become bruised and swollen. He loosened the shoelaces, otherwise the painful instep of the already "fat" instep would be even more painful if it got stuck in the upper of the shoe.
At this time, he stood up and walked, not as easily as before. He took two or three steps, and his left leg was bouncing, like a lame.
Xu Sigui had no choice but to pick up the dry branch he had just thrown away and use it as a crutch, walking out of the forest step by step. From the East Village to the West Village, he did not take the smooth path in front of the house, as if he was afraid of being seen, and only walked along the tangled grass. After returning home, he sat down on a chair and sighed in frustration.
Feng Yueliang, who was breastfeeding her child, saw him like this and asked him what he did. He shook his head and yelled out loud, "Please mind your own business."
Feng Yueliang turned her head and remained silent, saying in her heart: I deserve to be treated like a donkey because of my good intentions! Why are you so cruel? This is retribution!
Xu Sigui's foot was sprained, and his mother was heartbroken when she saw it. That night, she called the therapist from the neighboring village, a big man with a beard, to massage and touch the sprained area and put a plaster on it.
The therapist told Xu Sigui that there were no broken bones and the problem was not serious. Don’t tear off the plaster for the time being. Don’t go out for activities. It’s best to walk less and rest at home. After two or three days, the swelling on your feet will subside and you will be fine. of.
Xu Sigui asked him how much it would cost to see a doctor. The therapist stretched out his middle finger and index finger and said, 20 yuan. If there is no effect in four or five days, the money will be refunded to you. Xu Sigui asked his wife to pay before the beater left.
On the third day, the swelling subsided, and Xu Sigui felt that his foot was not in much pain anymore, so he tore off the almost dry plaster on the sprained area and walked out and threw it away.
He did not return home, but walked towards the east end of the village.
Feng Yueliang, who was sitting in the room breastfeeding her child, stood up quickly and shouted when he went out, Sigui, where are you going? The trainer has told you not to go out for activities. Your foot injury has not fully recovered yet, so you must not move around.
Xu Sigui stopped, looked back at her and said, Moon, what are you worried about? I was so bored at home that I thought about finding someone to play chess at the east end of the village. It wasn't a strenuous exercise. What would I be afraid of?
It's better to do something else. You must not play chess with others. You will be unlucky if you only lose or not win. At these times, you are so unlucky that you even sprain your foot for no reason even if you don't play chess. Why don't you learn your lesson? Feng Yueliang's words made sense. Xu Sigui listened to her and returned home. He buried his head but didn't look at her. He said to himself, "Forget it, forget it. I can't move. I'm afraid something will happen if I move."
Suddenly I remembered what Wu Xiaofeng had agreed to a few days ago, and told Feng Yueliang that Mr. Wu's company was recruiting employees and agreed that I should apply. I would first contact his secretary Liu Xiangnan. I don't want to go, Yue Yueliang, you can go on my behalf! it's the same.
That's different. What men do, women may not be able to do. Feng Yueliang gently put the child who had fallen asleep after being fed back into the cradle, fearing that he would be woken up, and whispered, "Let's do this!" You can rest for a few days before going to Mr. Wu's company.
That won't work. If it were a few days late, Mr. Wu's company would be full of people and no one would be needed. Wouldn't it be a wasted opportunity? Xu Sigui also lowered his voice.
Feng Yueliang thought it made sense, clapped her sleeves and said, OK, you and mom will take good care of Qiqi. If she cries, feed her milk powder. I will go to Wu Headquarters tomorrow to talk to Secretary Liu first.
Early the next morning, Feng Yueliang got up and dressed up, put on a bright red cheongsam, and stood in front of the full-length mirror. She felt glamorous, which increased her confidence in applying for a job at Wu Headquarters.
She pinched the collar narcissistically, patted the feet of the cheongsam, and changed different postures. She looked at the back, sides, and every part. She felt that the cheongsam was well-dressed, and she actually thought it looked like a red peony. They also surround themselves with grace and splendor.
This was her trousseau when she got married. She rarely wore it. When she was pregnant with Xu Qi, she never wore it because of her swollen belly.
Now one month after the birth of the child, she has regained her slim figure. Wearing this bright red cheongsam, she has a unique charm of a young woman.
Before going out, she sprinkled violet perfume on her body, and the fragrance immediately spread.
Xu Sigui, who woke up in bed but didn't get up, smelled the fragrance. He stood up and looked at his wife who was wearing a bright red cheongsam in front of the full-length mirror and said, Moon, you are applying for a job, not going on a blind date. Why are you wearing such a flashy and eye-catching dress? Also sprinkle perfume on your body!
Feng Yueliang was pressing his perfumed temples with his two index fingers when he suddenly retorted to Xu Sigui, "You know what the heck, as a job applicant you have to focus on your image. Besides, dressing up nicely not only gives people a good impression, but also A kind of respect for people.
You dress up so seductively, which one do you want to charm? Xu Sigui expressed some sensitive and extreme thoughts.
Feng Yueliang felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He walked to the bed and frowned, "Okay!" I won’t apply for the job on your behalf, you can go do it yourself!
Xu Sigui felt wronged and lay down again, admitting his mistake and saying, "Forget it, forget it, I was just joking." Go quickly, go quickly.
Feng Yueliang tilted her head in disappointment, and smelled the smell of her unwashed husband's words. She spat towards the door, then Pingting went out and walked towards the town.
On the dirt road that crossed the fields and ridges and passed the small bridge over the flowing water, she recalled a dream she had last night that she didn't remember clearly. It was roughly that she was hired by Mr. Wu as a female secretary. In addition to sitting in the office, she often spent time with Mr. Wu. Going out to socialize... This is impossible. I applied for the job on behalf of my husband. Thinking about the dream, she felt more and more trance-like and bizarre.
When I arrived in town, I didn’t know where Wu’s head office was. It was too early for her to find a restaurant. After asking the owner, she found out that Wu's head office was at the east end of the town.
She walked over and saw a three-story office building. A rectangular wooden sign hung on the wall of the door on the first floor, which read: Jiangnan Kapok Town Construction Co., Ltd.
At this time, some men came in in twos and threes from outside. It was estimated that this was Mr. Wu's company. She followed a few men into the door. Inside was a hall with a wooden frame in the middle, supporting a small blackboard with writing on it. A notice written in chalk: Any male worker who applies for a job should bring two photos, the original and a copy of his or her ID card to the office on the second floor for negotiation. Announcement from the company office, date: X, month, X, year.
Feng Yueliang looked at the notice repeatedly and felt that there was no need to go upstairs because three conditions were not met:
First, only male workers are recruited here, and since I am a woman, it is obviously not acceptable;
Second, she neither brought photos for her husband nor herself. Of course, this is a simple matter. It doesn’t matter if it’s your husband or you who goes to the photo studio to take a few photos as required;
Third, I didn’t bring my ID card or copy, so I had to go home to get it.
She took a few steps out of the building and suddenly thought that since she was here, it would be better to go upstairs and ask for more information.
So Feng Yueliang returned to the lobby on the first floor and climbed up the gently rising corridor like a seven-turn turn. When he reached the second floor, he saw a long queue of people standing in front of the office door. There was not a woman among them. They are all men.
As she stood there, an idea suddenly came to her: She didn't have to stand behind this row of men, she could just break into the office!
So Feng Yueliang plucked up the courage to break in, but couldn't get in. He just squeezed to the door of the office and didn't go in because there were still people standing in line in front of him.
Many men looked at her with wide eyes. Some said she was not allowed to jump in line, but had to line up on a first-come, first-served basis. Some said her jumping in line was in vain because the company did not recruit female workers.
She looked back with a smile and said to the man who said the latter, you are right, I am not here to apply for a job, I just came to the office to ask something.
Some people "pick it up" on the spot, and you don't ask sooner or later, but asking at this time is a waste of everyone's time.
Feng Yueliang didn't care about that, and ran straight towards the office from the side of the long queue that had already reached the door.
