C7 It's Hard to Find a Bowl of Rice

Butterflies are living in their dreams.

It was hungry for fresh hope.

The sunlight that covered the dust.

Searching for fragrance and sweetness.

- - Volume Poem.

The old furniture, which had lost its paint and lost its edges, was placed on the polished and smooth floor not long after it was laid out. There was an indescribable strangeness to it.

However, Xinzi was dragging slippers that did not fit her feet. Her feet, which were wrapped in gauze and could not cover up the bloodstains, stood on the new floor. It seemed even more disharmonious, causing Hu Sijuan to look at her from top to bottom in disgust!

The white-haired elder Hu tried his best to stand between Hu Sijuan and Xinzi. "Xiaozi, I didn't know you were coming. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't I cook two poached eggs for you? "

Xin Xiaozi pushed him away, not daring to put on the slippers that Duke Hu handed over. She tried her best to avoid stepping too much into the Hu family's living room.

"Dad, she's not a child. Young people who know how to use the internet will always find their own food!" Hu Sijuan squeezed her lean body over from behind the old man. She extended her leg and kicked the half-open door. She cast a sidelong glance at Xin Xiaozis carefully taking out the milk powder from her backpack and placing it on the table. "Besides, it's not convenient to buy rice and meat here. "

. . . "Sorry, I didn't know there was no business here, so I didn't buy any fruits. Next time, I'll bring you some rice noodles and eggs. " Seeing that the old man had used a lot of effort to move the things from the old house and indicated for him to sit on the sofa, Xin Xiaozi shook her head and took out a gift bag from her bag. "This is, my parents are celebrating your accommodations. "

"Hey, it's been more than a month since we moved. Isn't it a little late? The bank transfer is very fast! " He looked at the thin red packet from the corner of his eye. Hu Sijuan looked at the nail polish that she had just applied.

Xin Xiaozi explained: " My parents don't know how to operate a computer, nor do they open an online bank account. "

"Then you don't know how to learn? "The more Hu Sijuan spoke, the more she gave up. "Look at my son. Your cousin has been playing computer games since early in the morning. Little Si, it's not that I want to tell you, if you want to find a proper 'job', your parents won't have to go through so much trouble! "

Xin Little Zhi's empty stomach was churning, and his taut legs felt weak. . . . "I just returned to Dongjiang a few years ago, and I'm still learning online technology on my own. It's not easy to find a job. "

"Now you know how hard it is to find a bowl of rice? What did you do earlier? You didn't get into university, and now you regret it?" Hu Sijuan put down the cup. She used her feet to push the wooden stool to the girl's feet. "I said, find a job and pay attention to your dressing when you go out. What are you wearing? Have you washed your clothes and pants? Where did you get these slippers? I'm in charge of the interview. I don't want you to be like this. You said you were self-studying online technology, so I followed you to the internet cafe. I saw you chatting with someone. You're so young, so why are you looking for these reasons? Is it that easy to find a job? Let me tell you. There aren't any shops or enterprises around Dongjiang New City. Just wait and see. "

" I don't have a phone number. I can only go to the Internet cafe to chat with my classmates and ask them about their skills. "Xin Xiaozhi swallowed the bitter taste in his throat.

"Then you should learn well. Why did you come to the new city? With the appearance of the new Dongjiang City, I wonder when the manager's apartment that your family has applied for will be built!"

"Great aunt, I'm hungry! Yesterday, you asked the housewife to cook something delicious again. You took a picture of it in the WeChat circle and released the poison!" After visiting the new house, Stranglethorn returned to the living room. He put his hands and legs on the table and opened his mouth wide to eat.

"You taught me how to watch TV on the Internet. You brought a housewife to do it. Where did you put poison? Hey, eat it. " Grandma Xia adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and opened a box of snacks brought by her grandnephew.

"You want me to eat this?" Xia Thorned Green stretched out his head in disbelief. "Grandma, I want to eat the dumpling in your lap, the kind with four petals!"

"No!"

"How is that possible? I called you in advance and said that I would come. I saw two stores in the morning and drove to you. It's fine even if you don't have dumplings. Your specialty is Luo Song soup, curry beef belly. . . "

" But I don't have any! "

"Don't lie to me. " The young man unwillingly went into the old man's kitchen, opened the fridge, looked at the microwave, pulled the oven, and flipped around.

"Hey, brat, if you say there's no, then there's no!" Grandma Xia looked at the headache and went into the kitchen to pull out the thorn green grass. "It's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's that the housewife auntie can't buy the ingredients for cooking. "

. . . "Hey, I forgot - there's not a single business in this East River New City, so why are you in such a hurry to move to this lousy place?" Xia Thorned Green vented his anger and resigned himself to his fate as he went to eat cookies.

"The new city hasn't been matched yet, but we still have to cooperate with the old district's renovation, right?" Grandma Xia pushed the black tea in front of her grandnephew and said, "I'll make do with it and eat some. This tea is not bad. "

"Please treat the guests. Let the guests eat the gifts they brought. I'll tell them in our family chat group!" Xia Rattan stuffed the cookies into his mouth and grumbled. He took out his phone and wanted to go online again.

"Stop fooling around. The housewife took the bus to cross the river to buy groceries. I'll ask her to bring you pizza. But why hasn't she come back yet? . . . The bus here takes more than half an hour to go to class one. The interval is a bit long!" The old man was also anxious when he saw that the chattering Thorned Green was barely able to eat. He walked to the balcony to take a look.

"Half a minute later, Class One? Oh my god!" Xia Jianqing slapped his face in a pretentious manner. " No, I'm hungry. I have to order a meal on the internet first. "

Grandma Xia turned her head on the balcony. "The housekeeping auntie said that there's no food delivery master here to receive the bill! It's useless even if you call. "

Summer Thorn really jumped up from his seat. " No, I can't agree to my dad moving over. I have to continue renting apartments on the north bank! Otherwise, if the Xiong brothers and I can't find food or food on the website, wouldn't we starve to death? "

"Police comrade, may I ask where there is a restaurant nearby? Kendrick, McDonald's? Beef ramen, Sand County snacks, all of them are fine. "

The police motorbike left the entrance of Yi Yi Garden. Tan Ming was stopped by an anxious middle-aged couple.

"My family moved today, so I came to look for them. I didn't find a restaurant nearby. "

"Sorry, we haven't found any restaurants yet. " Tan Yin was also a little hungry. She could not hide the tiredness on her face as she welcomed the sunlight.

"It's been a few months since I took over!" The hungry middle-aged couple became anxious. "There are at least more than a thousand families living in a few districts, right? The neighboring businesses haven't been built yet? My child has been busy with moving furniture with the workers for the entire morning. They are all waiting to eat! "

" How about this, you guys follow this Lucky Street to the south. . . "Tan Yin licked her dry lips and took out a stack of cards from her pocket. She took out a card and handed it over. " Follow this map. After walking through about five roads, you can see a few small restaurants. "

"So far! How long do you need to walk?"

"About 20 minutes. "

"Does this East River New City still want people to live? Why did it take so long to buy food? " The middle-aged couple was furious. "I'm afraid we won't be able to get there, but we'll starve and faint on the way!"

The butterfly quietly landed on the tender leaves. It was shocked by the angry words of the people. It flew nervously in the newly planted greenery on the side of the road. Together with the young police officers, they sent the exhausted couple to find their lunch.

Tan Ming parked a car by the side of the road and leaned on the cushion. He looked at a busy construction site, a lonely paddy field, and was silent.

His phone suddenly vibrated. Tan Yin opened the door. He saw a warm greeting message on WeChat. After thinking for a while, he started to quickly move his fingers, allowing the characters to flood into WeChat:

"Teacher Fan, the district arranged for you to contact each other here. You've been visiting the new city all this time, and you might have realized that the first batch of residents to move to the new city has become the biggest problem of housing and service after the new city zone enters the East River region. Look! Can you propose to speed up the construction of the accompanying infrastructure? We need to solve the problem of finding a bowl of rice on the internet as soon as possible. . . "

In the sky, dull clouds floated over, blocking the sunlight that was trying to warm up. The gust of wind blew the sand and dust along the road, hurting the young policeman's eyes. Tan Yin looked at the characters on the phone screen, and her vision gradually blurred. . .
