The programmer and his woman

"By the way, Xiaoxia, my company just informed me that I will be going on a business trip to J City tomorrow. We may have to be apart for a few days."

Xiaoxia heard what I said, and a trace of reluctance flashed across her face. She held my hand tightly, and her eyes revealed her attachment to me: "Wang Dong, I don't want you to leave me."

Looking at her affectionate eyes, I was also filled with reluctance. But work is important after all, so I could only hold her hand gently and comfort her: "I know, but this is part of my job, I will be back as soon as possible."

However, before I could finish my words, Xiaoxia kissed me gently on the lips. We hugged each other tightly, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and our emotions instantly burned up. I stroked her smooth and tender skin, felt her heartbeat and breathing, and an inexplicable emotion surged in my heart.

But at this moment, a loud bang broke the warm atmosphere. The door was suddenly kicked open rudely, and a stranger stood at the door, his eyes involuntarily looking at Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia was still naked at this time, and was stared at by this guy. He looked like a fool, staring at Xiaoxia motionlessly.

I reacted, put Xiaoxia down and rushed out, grabbed the man by the collar and pushed him to the ground. I raised my fist and was about to hit him, but was stopped by a neighbor who passed by. "Hey, little brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit him?" the neighbor asked in confusion.

I pointed at the man lying on the ground angrily and said, "Ask him what he did just now!" The man struggled to stand up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and said in defense, "I'm an agent. I just took a client to see a house. I had to pee urgently and couldn't hold it anymore. I saw there was a toilet here, so I pushed the door open and went in. How would I know there was someone inside?"

"Can't you see the light is on inside? Don't you know how to knock on the door and ask? Why just kick it in?" I asked. He scratched his head in embarrassment, "What were you doing in there? Why didn't you lock the door? I thought no one was there."

I got even angrier when he said that. "This door is broken. I've told your agent many times, but no one came to fix it. And you still have the nerve to say we didn't lock the door."

"Oh, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault, please don't get angry!" Seeing the other person apologizing nonchalantly, although I felt a little unhappy, I finally chose to be tolerant and forgive him, considering that he didn't do it on purpose. However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. This unexpected change made me miss a great opportunity to get on the bus early again. I can't help but sigh that things are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people!

After dinner, the breeze was blowing, and we decided to stroll around the community for a while to enjoy this rare quiet time. During the stroll, we were attracted by the swing in the corner of the community. Xiaoxia looked at the swing with a childlike excitement and expectation in her eyes.

"Wang Dong, I want to play on the swing for a while. Come and push me." Xiaoxia's voice was full of anticipation.

I smiled and nodded, walked to the back of the swing and gave it a gentle push. As the swing swung, Xiaoxia's laughter echoed in the night sky, as if taking away all the fatigue of the day. I was also infected by her cheerful mood, and my mood became particularly relaxed.

At this moment, a little girl with pigtails ran over. She stood in front of Xiaoxia's swing and looked at us curiously. Xiaoxia noticed her, sat on the swing and asked, "Little friend, do you want to play on the swing too?"

The child shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to play on the swing, but she still stood there, looking at us with curiosity. At this moment, the child's guardian, a wrinkled old man, ran over angrily. Before he even got close, he loudly scolded, "Oh, my little darling, stay away. What if the swing hits you?"

The old man glared at us and said unhappily, "You two are so grown up, but you don't know how to give in to the children. Swings are for children to play on, and you adults are fighting with children for them."

I tried to explain: "Grandpa, I just asked this kid, and she said she didn't want to play on the swing."

The old man didn't listen to my explanation at all. He stubbornly believed that we were bullying his granddaughter. He pointed at us and said in a more severe tone: "Nonsense! My baby likes to play with this. And you didn't even watch the child when you were playing on the swing. Our child is right in front of you. What if you kick her?"

I explained patiently, "Grandpa, this is still far away from your child. Even if the swing swings over, he can't kick it."

But the old man became even more excited: "What if she runs forward a few steps? Which community are you from? Are you a resident of this community?"

I nodded: "Yes, we live here."

"Live here?" The old man looked us up and down and said contemptuously, "We rent a house, right?"

I nodded again, "Yes."

When the old man heard that we were renting the house, he became even more rude: "I can tell from your accent that you are from other places. You are a bunch of outsiders who have messed up our good place. Look at your quality."

I couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Uncle, you're not right to talk like that. If there weren't migrant workers like us, would your life be so convenient? Would the city develop so rapidly?"

The old man didn't appreciate it at all: "I think it's better if you guys aren't here to mess around. Look at the quality of each of you. You don't have any self-awareness at all. If you don't buy a house here, you don't deserve to use the equipment in the community, do you understand?"

Xiaoxia was no longer in the mood to continue playing on the swing, and she wanted to get up and leave. I held her hand and comforted her, "Let's play our own games, ignore him."

But when the old man saw that we had no intention of coming down, he actually stepped forward and tried to force Xiaoxia down. I also got anxious and yelled at the old man: "Just try and see if you dare to move!"

The old man was frightened by my momentum. He glared at me and said viciously: "Okay, you outsider pigs are going to rebel! Just wait for me!" After that, he turned around and walked away with the child.

I asked Xiaoxia, "Are we still going to play?" Xiaoxia shook her head, indicating that she was no longer interested. When we were about to get up and leave, we saw an old man and several security guards rushing over angrily in the distance.

The old man was furious, pointing at us and yelling, "Don't run! It's them! You security guards, hurry up and catch these two guys!"

Seeing this, the security guards shouted loudly: "Hey, don't leave in such a hurry!" Then they turned around and asked the old man: "What did these two people do wrong?"

The old man was still furious and said angrily: "They are occupying the equipment in the community and not allowing others to use it!" After hearing this, the security guard asked: "Have they been occupying these equipment for a long time?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied, "That's not the case...but I don't think they have the right to enjoy any facilities in the community."

The security guard was very confused and asked, "Why is that?" The old man straightened his back and said confidently, "They are just tenants here, not the real owners of the house. Why can they use these things?"

The security guard calmly explained to the old man: "Uncle, you may have misunderstood. According to relevant regulations, tenants in the community have the same rights as owners and can use the public facilities in the community normally."

When the old man heard this, he became even more angry and embarrassed: "What? What? Oh, I get it, you are all pigs from other places, you are all wearing the same pants! I want to find your leader."

When the community security guard heard the old man calling him a pig from another place, he got angry and asked bluntly: "Uncle, our leader is also from another place. Are you sure you want to look for him?" The security guard said calmly.

"You, you, are you threatening me?" The old man's eyes widened, obviously not expecting the community security guard to answer like this. He became even more angry, and his voice became several decibels higher: "You bunch of stinky foreign pigs, are you going to rebel? It's all because of you. My son, a handsome young man, still can't find a job. It's all because of you foreign pigs who have taken away our local people's jobs!" His voice echoed in the community, attracting more onlookers.

The people around me started to talk. I took a deep breath and tried to sound calm. "Uncle, I understand how you feel. But we outsiders are not stealing jobs. We are also contributing to this city. Besides, your son's work problems may not be caused by us outsiders."

"You're talking nonsense!" the old man interrupted me. "My son has been smart since he was young, how could he not find a job? It's you who came from outside the area who are stealing the jobs of us locals!"

Next to him, an owner of the community, Old Li, heard what Old Liu said and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, interrupting his boasting. He gently patted Old Liu on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Old Liu, I've heard a lot about your son's abilities and ambitions. But let's be honest, these security guys in our community are exposed to the wind and sun every day, guarding the peace of the community from morning to night. Can your child bear that hardship?"

When Old Liu heard this, his face suddenly became unhappy. He glared at Old Li and retorted, "How can my son be compared with these security guards? He is a college student after all. He has received higher education. In the future, he will be a senior manager at best. At the very least, he will be a small boss."

When Old Li heard this, he smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on, stop bragging about your son. He can hardly speak clearly, how can he be a manager? The security guards in our community may not have high academic qualifications, but they are all practical and responsible. Besides, management is not about academic qualifications, but about ability and sense of responsibility."

Old Liu was embarrassed by what Old Li said. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "I was just talking about those two outsiders using our community equipment. Why did you bring it up with my son?"

When Old Li heard this, he was not to be outdone: "Oh, you mean those two outsiders. Didn't the security guard say that tenants also have the right to use the community's public facilities. Besides, these public facilities are not yours, so how can you control who can use them and who can't?"

Old Liu was choked by what Old Li said and was speechless. He glared at Old Li and wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a suitable reason. At this time, Old Li continued: "Old Liu, I have an idea for you. Why don't you just buy all these community equipment and use them exclusively for yourself? If others want to use them, you can charge a fee. Maybe in one or two years you can earn back the money you spent on buying the equipment."

When Old Liu heard this, he was so angry that he glared at me: "What's your idea? Are you trying to trick me?"

Old Li shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm not kidding you. I just think that since you look down on outsiders, you might as well buy all these equipment and enjoy them yourself. But I have to remind you that you should be careful when you say such things outside. More than half of the people living here used to be outsiders. Without outsiders, would City A be as prosperous as it is today? Who built the house you live in? Did you build it yourself, the locals?"

Old Li's words were like a string of cannonballs, leaving Old Liu speechless. He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but he didn't know what to say. At this time, the little girl next to him pulled his clothes and whispered, "Grandpa, Grandpa, the big sister just asked me to play on the swing, but I didn't want to."

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at the little girl's clear eyes, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated. He squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and asked gently, "Why don't you want to play on the swing?"

The little girl blinked and answered, "Because the teacher told us to share with others, I want to play later."

When Old Liu heard this, he became even more embarrassed. He glared at the little girl and scolded her in a low voice: "What do you know, kid? Don't listen to your teachers. They are just trying to coax you."

At this time, the old man Li at the side could not help but interrupt and said: "Hey, old Liu, I think your child is not as sensible as you think. The fact that the child can say such words shows that the teacher's usual education is in place. You should be happy for the child."

After hearing this, Old Liu was furious. He said indignantly, "What do you know? The school teacher must have taken a fancy to my child's things and taught me this way. It's okay if I don't mention the teacher, but I get even more angry when I mention the teacher. What sharing? I think they just share the good things with themselves. Let's not talk about anything else. For example, I bought a new mobile phone for my child last month, and it was confiscated by their teacher after only one day at school. It's the latest model, but the teacher said that it can only be returned to our child at the end of the semester. By then, the new model will become obsolete. Do you think these teachers are really bad?"

After hearing this, Old Li sighed and said, "Old Liu, you can't say that. The teacher confiscated the phone because he was worried that your child would be affected by playing with the phone in class. This is for the good of the child."

Old Liu continued to grumble with an indignant look on his face: "Oh, forget it! A few days ago, I ran to the market and bought my little baby her favorite durian. The smell was so fragrant that it makes people drool. But who would have thought that she had just brought it to school and hadn't had time to eat it before it was confiscated by the teacher again!"

An old lady nearby couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this: "Old Liu, how can you let your child bring durian to school? The smell is so strong, aren't you afraid that it will disturb other students in class?"

When Old Liu heard this, he became even more furious. He widened his eyes and retorted, "Come on! Do you think I don't know what the teacher was thinking? She was just greedy and found an excuse to confiscate the child's durian so that she could enjoy it herself! My granddaughter usually performs so well in school, how could she have her durian confiscated?"

At this time, the little girl came over with a look of grievance and helplessness on her face. She looked at her grandfather and said softly, "Grandpa, please stop talking. I really didn't want to bring durian to school, but you forced me to bring it, and I ended up making a fool of myself in front of my classmates. Everyone laughed at me."

When Old Liu heard his granddaughter's words, he felt even more distressed. He held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Who is laughing at you? They are laughing at you because they can't afford it! Ignore them, a bunch of poor students from other places, they have no manners. It is these outsiders who corrupt the social atmosphere!"

When the people around heard this, their expressions immediately became complicated. Some shook their heads and sighed, some frowned, and some whispered and talked about it. Obviously, what Old Liu said not only embarrassed the little girl, but also shocked and dissatisfied everyone present.

The little girl felt the strange looks from the people around her. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt aggrieved and helpless. She didn't want her grandfather to continue like this, and she didn't want to be the focus of everyone's criticism. So, she gently pulled her grandfather's sleeve, and said softly with a trembling voice, "Grandpa, let's go."

When Old Liu heard his granddaughter's words, he was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger. He realized that his words might be a bit extreme, but he didn't want to show weakness in front of everyone. He glared at the people around him, as if he wanted to use his eyes to maintain his dignity. Then, he patted his granddaughter on the head and said in a calm tone, "Okay, let's go."

However, when he turned to leave, Old Liu couldn't hold back his anger. He looked back at the two of us, his eyes full of disdain and provocation. He said coldly: "You bunch of outsiders, I advise you to go back to your hometown as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them became more tense. Some people began to whisper and criticize Old Liu for his inappropriate words, while others shook their heads silently, as if they were already accustomed to this kind of regional discrimination. Amid the booing and accusations of the crowd, the grandfather and grandson gradually walked away, leaving only a sound of discussion and sighs echoing in the air.
