Tales on the Green Train

After Hu Bing moved his luggage to Yancheng, he started a new job hunting journey.Zhang Yan didn't know if he felt guilty, and he rushed to pay the bill when he went out to eat and buy vegetables.

Hu Bing looked at the job hunting brochures on the Internet, and started looking for job opportunities with the contacts he had accumulated.The cost of living in Yancheng is not low, but the salary is not high. It is not easy to find a job that is not too busy and suitable for you.However, the deposit in his hand can last for a while, so he is not too anxious.

When he was looking for a job again, Hu Bing suddenly remembered what his tutor said when he graduated: "Character determines your destiny. No matter how many detours you take, you will still return to the original direction." Sometimes you have to believe the words of those who have experienced it. piled up with experience.

I don't know if it was the self-consolation of "desperate", but now he suddenly discovered that it is not bad to be a civil servant, and there are still many opportunities for sociology graduates to take the civil service exam.As a civil servant, he works from nine to five, and his salary is not low. The most important thing is that his pension is very high, which fully meets his current requirements.

It's just that the goal of becoming a host has definitely come to naught. It is a lie to say that there is no regret.

It is a question whether to live a stable life and receive a salary, or to devote all of your youth to a career.

What's more, there are too many people who don't achieve their goals and get what they want even if they spend all their time and money.

Hu Bing now feels that he can accept these two kinds of life, as long as he doesn't lack money to spend, and earning so much money without time or life to spend is useless.

Not to mention Zhang Yan...

He also thought about what life would be like if he hadn't met him, or rather, without him.Will it be more relaxed and free, after all, I have nothing to worry about.That way, no matter how far you go, you won't look back at every step.

However, when Zhang Yan really withdrew step by step, he felt that all his hard work and hard work suddenly became meaningless.

Hu Bing shook his head, trying to find his wandering thoughts, "If you have done enough, you can still resign, what's the big deal." All in all, it is obvious that the public examination is more suitable for him now.He found that he is a person who does not have a strong pursuit of dreams. What he longs for may be success, no matter what kind of success it is.A person who has been growing up at the top of the pyramid cannot adapt to the mediocre life at the bottom, and his behavior habits force him to climb back to the top.

So Hu Bing signed up immediately, bought materials and prepared for the exam at home every day.

After Hu Bing came, Zhang Yan changed overnight from a libertine who clubbed every day to a good family man who buys vegetables and cooks after get off work.Yang Peidong couldn't find anyone on the phone all day long, so he had to ask Wang Huifeng to come to Zhang Yan's house to beg for food.

Zhang Yan held the phone and said, "Come and eat hot pot, or you can cook."

Yang Peidong: "...Forget it, let's go to the hot pot." He made an excuse, "It should be cold when the dishes are finished one by one."

Zhang Yan snorted, "Come early, don't drink too late, I'll go to bed at ten o'clock."

Yang Peidong said indignantly: "Forget righteousness by looking at sex, bah!"

Zhang Yan hung up the phone without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Wang Huifeng brought two beers, Yang Peidong carried a pile of vegetables, and the two kicked the door of Zhang Yan's house with one knee free.It was Hu Bing who opened the door, and Zhang Yan was preparing in the kitchen.As soon as Yang Peidong saw Hu Bing, he pushed the vegetables in his arms to him very bluntly, stretched his muscles and bones, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and began to beat Zhang Yan.

Hu Bing put the dishes into the kitchen and gave him a meaningful look before leaving, Yang Peidong pretended not to look at him.After Hu Bing went out, he asked in a low voice, "Aren't you talking about splitting up? It's only been a few days, how come it's getting better again?"

Zhang Yan said casually, "It's that easy."

"You have no principles," Yang Peidong pointed at him and asked, "How can you forgive the enemy so easily? If you do this, he will gradually stop taking you seriously. You should hold back for a few days."

Zhang Yan: "..."

He didn't feel that Hu Bing didn't take him seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have been with him for so many years.I really want to talk about why I feel that the road is getting more and more difficult... Maybe it's because I have a little back, so it's time to do a fortune telling.

"Then why are you being reserved?" Zhang Yan asked while peeling the potatoes.

Yang Peidong hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he said without fear of death: "For example, dye his head with green to make him feel a sense of crisis. You don't have to be responsible for finding someone who is gentle, considerate, handsome, and can go to bed." A good gay friend—such as me", Yang Peidong proudly tossed the hem of his clothes, trying his best to put on a handsome appearance.

Zhang Yan knew that he was joking, and the two had always had an extraordinary tacit understanding in terms of "nonsense".

So Zhang Yan teased: "I pay more attention to personal health and hygiene. After all, I haven't lived enough. As long as I submit the physical examination report regularly, I still don't mind eating wild food once in a while."

Yang Peidong said: "No, I am not wild, I am domestic - don't forget that you will always be my first candidate for a spare tire,"

Zhang Yan let out a "tsk", and said with a toothache: "Can you stop teasing me by teasing little girls? Eh~ it feels weird."

Yang Peidong smiled evilly: "You know my brother's hobbies."

Zhang Yan: "..."

How could he keep forgetting about this.

Hu Bingren was sitting on the sofa in the living room, but his eyes were always staring at the semi-open kitchen through the glass window.

Wang Huifeng tidied up the soup pot and asked, "Do you want spicy soup or non-spicy soup?"

Hu Bing: "It's fine - if I beat that kid, will you stop me?"

Wang Huifeng: "..."

Wang Huifeng also glanced at the kitchen, only to see Yang Peidong teasing Zhang Yan with a cheap smile on his face.He rubbed his forehead, and said guiltily, "He's just a bit mean, he's not a bad person."

Hu Bing sneered: he's more than a bit mean.

"He's flirting with my boyfriend," Hu Bing said blankly, "I know the three of you have a good relationship after staying together for a long time, but let someone like Yang Peidong be my rival in love—your private life is too messy. First he pursued Zhang Yan, then he chased after you if he couldn’t catch up, then he turned around and chased Zhang Yan after he couldn’t catch up with you, tsk…” He suddenly felt a little bit of a toothache while talking—how did such a chaotic triangle relationship become an iron buddy? ? ?

"He lacks love?!" Hu Bing finally concluded and sighed.

Who knows that Wang Huifeng didn't listen to much of his long babble, and asked with a blank face, "... When did he pursue me?"

Only then did Hu Bing give him a glance: "Huh? Zhang Yan told me. Oh yes, I forgot that you really don't know."

Wang Huifeng: "???"

Hu Bing continued: "The two of them partnered to test it out, saying that you like women and are not interested in men, so they didn't continue. After all, it's best to be careful in this kind of thing."

Wang Huifeng: "..."

"Hello!" Hu Bing got up and walked into the kitchen, leaning against the doorway and asked, "Should I let you guys chat or chop vegetables?—You", he looked at Yang Peidong, "Do you chop vegetables with your mouth? nagging..."

Yang Peidong picked up a potato casually: "Shall I chew it into pieces for you?"

Hu Bing: "..."

He grinned in disgust and swore he would never eat potatoes again.

Hu Bing folded his arms and leaned against the door to monitor them. Zhang Yan turned around and handed the chopped vegetables to Hu Bing. Yang Peidong followed suit and handed him the washed coriander.Hu Bing couldn't help but sprayed him: "No wonder you have kidney deficiency."

Yang Peidong said meanly: "Why, have you tried it?"

Zhang Yan: "..."

Facing Zhang Yan's cannibalistic eyes, Yang Peidong hurriedly made love and said, "Um, I mean... eat a bite of parsley and a bite of leeks to make up for it, hehe~ complement each other."

Zhang Yan turned his head and glared at Hu Bing. Hu Bing shut his mouth embarrassingly, and worked obediently.

The four of them sat together and had a drink first. Wang Huifeng chatted and asked Hu Bing, "What are you going to do in Yancheng?"

"Kaogong", Hu Bing said.

Yang Peidong teased: "Why can't you afford to eat, and start eating for the country?"

In view of the experience just now, Hu Bing didn't want to talk to him - this person probably could tease a male dog whenever he saw it.

Wang Huifeng said, "Let's take the exam and come to our school."

Hu Bingyin asked: "High school and junior high school?"

"high school".

"Forget it, I'm not interested in dealing with adolescent children, what if I get caught by a little girl?"

Yang Peidong grinned and gave him a disdainful look.

Yang Peidong provocatively said: "It seems that you are very experienced in this area."

"No, no, I don't have as much experience as you," Hu Bing said.

Zhang Yan: "..."

It looks like the two will never get along again.

Wang Huifeng looked at Yang Peidong sincerely, and said, "He really doesn't have as much experience as you."

Yang Peidong looked back at him with a look of resentment that turned his elbows outward.

Wang Huifeng added: "Zhang Yan has been spoiled by you. He used to only flirt with little girls, but now he even flirts with men—he learned from you, and his tone is the same."

Zhang Yan: "..."

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Yang Peidong quickly stuffed him with something to eat, "Eat more if you can't talk."

Hu Bing stretched out an index finger to warn Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan asked: "Aren't you about to take the exam? When will it be?"

Hu Bing said: "There is still one month left, don't worry I will never fail a course."

"Then we wish you no failure," Wang Huifeng said with a toast.

Yang Peidong also raised his glass and said, "Then I wish you fail."

Hu Bing: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Grandpa has never failed a course in his life."

Zhang Yan held his forehead: "... hey."

A few people found a reason and drank a few more glasses.He only drank until 09:30, and just when he was a little drunk, Zhang Yan started to chase people away.

Yang Peidong looked at the mercilessly closed door in front of him, pointed and said: "See? This is the virtue of married women and men. Once a person like a flower gets married, he will become unsightly. Tsk tsk, times sorrow, the sorrow of mankind."

Wang Huifeng said solemnly: "Didn't you always want to find someone who can live a stable life? Do you want to keep going like this?"

Yang Peidong sighed: "What can I do? This is my fate, hey, don't mention it." He held his chest and said sadly, "Don't say that I really feel a lovelorn."

The two walked out side by side, Wang Huifeng didn't say a word, thinking repeatedly in his mind when Yang Peidong found out that he liked women and not men.But the facts once again prove that IQ is limited. After being together for so long, so many things happened, big and small, and I can't remember them for a long time.

The two people in the room had already kissed each other through alcohol, the table was messy, and the roommates locked themselves in their rooms.Hu Bing said, "Let's take a shower together."

Zhang Yan: "No, let's wash the dishes together—get up, and they'll be able to see them at a glance if they go out to use the bathroom."

Hu Bing let him go: "I'm going to wash the dishes, you go to take a shower." Then he whispered: "Wait for me on the bed—after the exam is over, the two of us will rent a house to celebrate."

One month later, Hu Bing was admitted as a member of the Comprehensive Division of the Investigation Team of the Yancheng Statistics Bureau.The interview gave him a lot of points, because he has a year of work experience as a TV reporter, so he passed it easily.

After the exams and moving house, the end of the year is coming.Since graduating, the number of times he went home has decreased, and it can be said to be basically zero - he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to make a phone call, let alone go home.I don't know if it's the brain's self-regulating comfort, but Hu Bing feels more and more that his decision is very wise.

"Follow me home during the Chinese New Year," Hu Bing said.

Zhang Yan agreed with a smile, because he has been with Mama Hu for a long time and has been to their house more than once, so he won't feel embarrassed if he goes again.

The news that Hu Bing was admitted to the civil service covered the west area of ​​Zinan almost at a flying speed, faster than he could go home.

"I said Bingzi has a bright future," said a fat auntie in a red and yellow thermal jacket, knitting. "This kid has studied well since he was a child, and he has a good temper."

Hu's mother pushed and said: "He was not good at all when he was young, and he became sensible in high school. Do you remember that year when he fought with people and put shit on people's walls? Haha, at that time He was only seven or eight years old, and when he came back, he was beaten half to death by his father."

The fat aunt said: "There is an old saying that the more naughty a child is, the smarter he will grow up. It doesn't matter if this child is too good."

While talking, a customer arrived in the store, and Madam Hu put down the wool in her hand to receive it.

The guest who came was wearing a black jacket and holding a briefcase, his face was full of red, and he was from the sub-district office.

Hu's mother greeted: "Old Liu, why are you smiling so happily? Look, your face is full of oil."

A man named Lao Liu saw someone in the house, so he called Hu's mother out and said in a low voice, "The notice from the superior just issued that our area is going to be demolished, and someone will come to measure the area of ​​the house in a few days. Prepare the certificate, don't delay things when the time comes, it seems quite urgent."

Before Hu's mother was not ill, she had saved for Hu Bing's down payment since she was a child, but her illness was all involved, and this is the most worrying thing at the moment.Unexpectedly, God has eyes, so the golden pie fell like this.Yin asked, "How many houses can I exchange for one house? How much will I pay?"

"It is said that two sets can be exchanged," Lao Liu whispered, "but seeing how anxious they are, we may discuss and discuss more. The houses outside are no better than ours, and a building can have more than 30 floors. They are the worst. .”

Hu's mother's eyes lit up, and Lao Liu said, "Don't talk about this matter, wait until it's finalized."

Mother Hu nodded, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before giving up.

Hu's mother put away her excitement before entering the room, and went in after regaining her calm expression.

The fat aunt asked: "What is Lao Liu doing here? Why did he come to collect the electricity bill in person?"

Hu's mother said casually: "It is said that it will be demolished, but it has not been decided yet. You also know that this matter has been rumored for ten or eight years and it may not be demolished. Who knows if it is reliable."

The fat aunt was surprised and said: "Old Liu is the director of the office. I think he came in person with a red face, so he shouldn't be able to run away?"

Hu's mother was proud of herself, but she didn't show much on her face: "This matter hasn't been finalized yet, so don't let it all go to waste."

The fat aunt couldn't help flattering her a few words: her son has just been admitted to the civil service, and the house is about to be demolished.What a blessing this must be.

Combining the two blessings, it is inevitable to ask again: "Have you found a partner yet? When are you going to get married?"

"I asked, and they said they should develop their careers first," said Hu's mother.

"What is there to develop here? The iron rice bowl will never starve to death," said the fat aunt.

Hu's mother thought it was reasonable, and only said that she would ask after returning home during the Chinese New Year this year. She also said that children who go to school get married late.Chatted a few words.
