sun washed by spring rain

24. (16)

Time always slips away inadvertently, and it is another spring of the year.

Coming back here again, Zhang Ke felt as if he had passed away.The original plan was to leave immediately after leaving the hospital, but in the end, Dr. Liang stopped him. He persuaded him to stay for a while on the grounds that his pregnancy and childbirth were very difficult and his energy was hurt.

Zhang Ke didn't care much about postpartum care. He was young and in good health, and he was thinking about it. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Dr. Liang warned him that if he didn't pay attention to the care, he might not be able to stay healthy. If you go back healthy and healthy, how can you start over again?Zhang Ke also made sense when he heard it, he wanted to erase everything during this period from his memory, and naturally he wanted to come back healthy.In this way, another few months have passed...

……

It's warm and cold, even though it's spring, people walking on the street are wearing thick clothes, Zhang Ke is carrying his only luggage, a fabric backpack, walking slowly on the street, almost greedily sucking the spring back Breathing the slightly cool air, feeling the bright and warm sunshine.

The one-year agreement has been exceeded for a period of time. Although Zhang Ke was anxious, he tried his best to bear the excitement in his heart. He didn't have the first time to go to Yan Qianming immediately. He wanted to let himself settle down first, and he didn't want Yan Qianming. He was worried, and he didn't want others to think that he was in trouble, so he went to Yan Qianming for refuge.

It was the first time in so many years that they hadn't seen each other for such a long time. Zhang Ke couldn't help but put a smile on his face as he thought about that person's face.

He couldn't go to the hotel where he worked before, and he didn't want to have anything to do with that matter. He didn't even want Dr. Liang's contact information when he left. He wanted to find another job and start a new life.

The remaining 30 yuan in the contract had already been remitted to the original account when he left. Zhang Ke didn't know if the previous 20 yuan helped Yan Qianming get through the difficulties, and he didn't plan to touch the next money. In his opinion, he doesn't know what to do with so much money in his hands, so it's better to give it to Yan Qianming, who will always be able to use it.

Zhang Ke thought as he walked, and he had already planned almost everything he would do next. He took out his mobile phone, which was the one Yan Qianming gave him a few years ago. It is as good as new ones. Zhang Ke knows very few people, so he found Yan Qianming's number without much digging. He has already memorized this number by heart, but he still likes to dig it out and stare at it...

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Ke's palms holding the phone were already sweating, and his fingers were trembling incessantly.

Do you want to... call now?

It was just a phone call, and he didn't know why he was so nervous. He was worried that after the call was connected, he would not know what to say, and would speak incoherently, which would delay Yan Qianming's time. He was also afraid that the person had changed the number, and he would no longer be that person after the call was connected. voice, even more afraid...

Zhang Ke shook his head vigorously.Why think so much?Isn't it just a phone call, I don't know what to say, then tell him that I have come back, and listen to his voice...

He was still thinking about it, but his brain had already made a decision for him. After pressing the dial button, Zhang Ke trembled nervously, and slowly moved the phone to his ear.

Zhang Ke held his breath and quietly listened to the voice on the receiver, one...two...three...

"Hey?"

With almost one sound, Zhang Ke hung up the phone with trembling hands.

It was not the familiar voice on the phone, but... a girl's voice...

------

When Zhang Ke gave an extra sum of money, a total of 30 yuan, Yan Qianming was shocked when he knew about it. There are so many... 30...

And he is just fine now, and needs a sum of money...

Yan Qianming has always been ambitious, otherwise he would not have chosen to start a business.Now, the company that he worked so hard on was bought by Zhang Keying's father. Although he is convinced, he is always thinking about getting it back.Recently, he received an order in private, as long as it is completed...

It just happened to be such a coincidence that there was a sum of money in the account?That is to say, Zhang Ke is back?

Although Yan Qianming and Zhang Keying have not confirmed their relationship now, Miss Zhang likes Yan Qianming, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yan Qianming is the prospective son-in-law of the old Dong, and the woman chases the man. time issue.

Thinking of Zhang Ke's return, Yan Qianming was really happy and excited from the bottom of his heart.I haven't seen him for more than a year, so he's just such a good brother, so I miss him.As for Zhang Keying... Yan Qianming had to say that he had never seen such a proactive and cheerful girl. Before he promised her, she had already started to declare her sovereignty over him all over the world.

Being chased and beaten by a beautiful girl with a good family background, few men can resist, and Yan Qianming is no exception. Although the relationship has not been fully confirmed now, but these days are almost inseparable, and the two can be regarded as acquiescing .

……

Thinking that Zhang Ke might have come back, Yan Qianming immediately planned to call him, but the address book had just been opened, and the familiar number was already in the answered phone.Yan Qianming has a very good memory, he never needs to save the more familiar numbers, he just opens his mouth, and Zhang Ke's number is even more familiar.

Seeing that the number was in the answered phone, Yan Qianming was a little surprised. He didn't receive a call from Zhang Ke today, so this call...?

Yan Qianming thought for a while, as if thinking of something, he slapped himself on the forehead hard.

By the way, he had dinner with Zhang Keying at noon today, and he went to the bathroom halfway... Thinking of this, Yan Qianming's nerves tensed up.

It was Zhang Keying who answered the phone...then did they say anything?

Yan Qianming himself didn't realize that he was extremely nervous now, as if there was a voice in his heart that kept talking.

what did they sayZhang Keying answered the phone, how would Zhang Ke introduce their relationship to her?are friends?brother?still……

Yan Qianming suddenly realized that he didn't dare to think about it. He was so scared, afraid that others would know...they were not in a normal relationship...

"I haven't seen you for more than a year... You seem to have lost a lot of weight..." Zhang Ke stared at Yan Qianming in front of him, carefully tracing the outline of his face, and he didn't know if it was because of nervousness, holding a spoon in his hand. The coffee cup kept stirring.

"You too, lost weight..." Yan Qianming replied, his tone revealing discomfort.

After thinking for a long time that day, he still called Zhang Ke.It was only after waiting for a long time that the connection was made. The voice of the man was very cautious. After a long time of deliberation, he asked, "Are you Yan Qianming?"

……

"How have you been this year? Is your father in good health? How is your company?" Zhang Ke continued to stir the coffee cup, and the questions in his mouth were as fast as the frequency of stirring in his hands. There are too many things to ask, to know, this year is a blank for the two of them, and he wants to fill it back.

"It's all okay." Yan Qianming looked at Zhang Ke and replied with three words casually. For some reason, he is a little irritable now...

In the past year, he encountered a lot of things. His business was not going well, and he finally got on the right track and was acquired. Zhang Keying's family helped his father's treatment, but Zhang Keying's father became more and more strict with him.Although, now that he has a stable job, and the previous troubles have all gone one after another, he is still restricted by others and depends on others...

Thinking of this, Yan Qianming suddenly looked at Zhang Ke with more complaints, why did he choose this time to leave him for a year... This year, whenever I feel sad and encounter difficulties, I will think of him, but he is not there , the depression in my heart has no one to tell, I can only grit my teeth and swallow it in my stomach...

This complaining look only appeared for a moment and then disappeared... Because Yan Qianming thought again, if Zhang Ke hadn't left this year... how could he have the first pot of gold to start a business, and how could he be qualified to complain .

"It's all good, it's all good..." The change in Yan Qianming's eyes was enough for Zhang Ke to notice even if it was only for a moment. He was suddenly a little embarrassed, and the question he wanted to ask next stopped on his lips.Thinking about it, I should have made him think of unhappy things.

"By the way? Why did that account suddenly have so much money? 30! Where did you come from?" Finally thinking of the key, Yan Qianming quickly recovered, and his eyes became serious.

Seeing this suddenly, Zhang Ke was taken aback for a moment. His head was digesting this question at a high speed, and his mouth paused, unable to digest...

"Ah? I earned it. I didn't tell you. Don't worry, it wasn't stolen or robbed. If you want to use it, feel free to use it. It doesn't matter."

Zhang Ke spoke nervously, Yan Qianming glanced at him suspiciously.

"What kind of job is it? How is it possible to earn so much in just one year? Now even the top executives of the company don't have such a high annual income? Tell me, did you do something illegal? Don't lie to me!"

"I...why did I lie to you! You've known me for so long, I'm the kind of person who would do illegal things!" Zhang Ke paused and lowered his head, and said again. "Cough, to tell you the truth, when I was working... um... I suffered a work-related injury... Then... this company paid me the compensation together with the insurance..." Zhang Ke's head turned rapidly After thinking about it, I made up such a reason.

"Are you hurt? What kind of injury?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Qianming became anxious when he heard this, and he was about to stand up to check Zhang Ke's injury.

Zhang Ke was taken aback by Yan Qianming's reaction, and quickly pressed his shoulder to make him sit down.

"Don't be nervous. I'm fine. I'm completely fine. I'm fine. It's just a small injury, not serious."

"Would you pay so much if it's not serious?" Yan Qianming still didn't believe it.

"Oh, don't ask me, why don't you believe me? Then let me tell you, I came to the head office to launder money!" Zhang Ke didn't know how to make it up, so he just got angry and blocked Yan Qianming, maybe The voice of this anxious speech was also loud, and just after finishing speaking, the people at the next table all looked sideways at them.

"Keep your voice down, I believe you are not good enough, what nonsense, hey, don't even read it, he is joking with me!" After Yan Qianming finished speaking, he smiled at the people around him, and then turned around helplessly.

"Zhang Ke, I...haven't paid you back yet...I really need money now...you haven't had a good year, I know it's all for me...sorry, I can't repay you now ..." Yan Qianming scratched his head, he knew that he owed Zhang Ke a lot, not just money, but now only Zhang Ke could help him... He also knew what kind of reward Zhang Ke wanted for doing all this, but he , may never be able to do it...

Zhang Ke was taken aback when he heard this... What repayment?What do I want?What can I ask for...?

"It's okay, I don't need the money, you can use it at ease, don't worry about paying it back..." When Zhang Ke was speaking, his eyes were empty, as if he was lost in thought again. "By the way... that day, I called you... a girl answered the phone..."

"Ah? You, did you say anything to her?" Yan Qianming tensed up when he heard this, and asked quickly.

"No... I hung up as soon as I heard it wasn't you..." Zhang Ke said awkwardly, and when he saw it, Yan Qianming, who was opposite him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I... I'm sorry, I'll answer the call." Yan Qianming smiled awkwardly at Zhang Ke. The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Yan Qianming glanced at the caller ID, turned his body, and answered the call in a low voice.

"I'm sorry Zhang Ke, I have something else to do, let's talk another day, well, this is the address of my company, if you have something to do, you can come to me." Yan Qianming hung up the phone, and immediately walked out in a hurry, he touched He took out a business card from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand, before he trotted out without waiting for his answer...

Zhang Ke glanced at Yan Qianming's back, feeling a little sour in his heart, then lowered his head and carefully looked at the business card in his hand.

26. (18)

Zhang Ke rented a small house again and settled down.

I have been vacant for a whole year, and it is very difficult to find a job now. Zhang Ke, who has only passed the junior chef certificate, cannot apply for a job in a big restaurant, and the small restaurant cannot use so many people. A temporary substitute chef was found in the restaurant.

This small restaurant is run by a single mother, and it mainly serves Chinese fast food. It happened that the only chef in the restaurant took half a month's leave, and Zhang Ke took over for half a month.

The business of this restaurant is not good, not because the food is unpalatable, but mainly because the location is relatively remote, and the proprietress is also a shy person, who can't speak a few words to anyone, and has a sad face every day.In addition to cooking, Zhang Ke came to think of various ways to attract customers every day. After a while, the business really improved, but the original chef also came back.

Zhang Ke's cooking skills are better, and the business in the store has been much stronger than before in the past half month.The proprietress is a sensible person, of course she doesn't want to just let Zhang Ke go, but the old chef in the shop has been working for several years, and she shouldn't let him run away due to emotion and reason, but such a small shop can't hire two chefs ...

The proprietress was at a loss, and finally Zhang Ke came up with a solution.

The teachers and fathers in the store continued to work in the store, and Zhang Ke made the set meals into box lunches and took them out for delivery and selling, so as to promote the store.

------

Today Yan Qianming was the same as usual, went out for lunch with Zhang Keying at noon, Zhang Keying went back to class, and he went back to work in the afternoon.It may be that Zhang Keying came early in the morning. When Yan Qianming came back to the company, it was still a long time before the end of the lunch break, so he walked around the company.

The building where the company is located is very large, and Yan Qianming looked back and forth as he walked.At some point not far from the building, some crowds surrounded them. They crowded forward and made noise. Yan Qianming walked forward out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, there were a few of his colleagues in the crowd. All of a sudden it's even more curious.

Coincidentally, one of his colleagues walked out of the crowd, and Yan Qianming hurriedly stopped him to ask what happened. "Hey, what are you doing? So many people?"

The man saw who was coming, and replied: "Oh, we are here to buy food. You don't know that the staff restaurant in our company is really expensive and unpalatable. Few people are willing to go there. The restaurants around There are not many, a box lunch vendor came to the door of the company these days, a few of them tasted it, let us come over, it’s really good! It’s cheap and delicious, and the same thing doesn’t repeat every day.”

The man finished talking to Yan Qianming with a smile on his face, then raised his hand and raised the bag containing the lunch box to show Yan Qianming.

"Oh." Yan Qianming agreed. He thought there was something novel, but it turned out that there was an extra lunch box seller.Yan Qianming was a little disappointed, and glanced over there inadvertently. He didn't expect that this sweep was not important, but it directly surprised him.

The person wearing work clothes for delivering food and selling lunch boxes from several large foam boxes one by one is Zhang Ke!

Yan Qianming was stunned, Zhang Ke over there was still busy and didn't seem to see him... He turned around with some guilt, for some reason, he didn't want Zhang Ke to find him now.

"Two copies for you. Hey? Yan Qianming? It's really you! Come here! Come quickly!" It was contrary to his wishes, and Zhang Ke still found him the moment Yan Qianming turned his head.

Being seen, Yan Qianming turned his head and left in embarrassment, and several colleagues around him also looked at him following Zhang Ke's voice.

"Ah? You... why are you here?" Yan Qianming walked over bravely, smiled a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help but keep looking around.

"Haha, I finally saw you. I'm here to sell box lunches. I made this myself. It's delicious. You haven't eaten yet. Come on, go and have a taste." Zhang Ke saw Yan Qianming and twitched his face. The son laughed, he put down all the work in his hand, took two boxes of the most sumptuous ones and handed them to Yan Qianming, and he didn't even have time to accept the money handed over for the rice.

"I've eaten." Yan Qianming looked at the boxed lunch that Zhang Ke handed over, with a calm tone and a bit embarrassed expression.

"Oh! Brother, you know Yan Qianming. That's fine. We are colleagues with him, and we both belong to that company. Then, can you give us a little cheaper when you come to deliver meals? We will all order from your place in the future." gone."

"That's right, Yan Qianming, the boxed lunches your friend sells are really affordable."

Seeing Yan Qianming's indifferent eyes, Zhang Ke knew that he was not very happy, and the hand that handed over the lunch box froze in mid-air, and he didn't know which colleague of Yan Qianming's was the first to get involved, and several people All eyes fell on Yan Qianming, and the air around him seemed to be condensed by embarrassment.

"Oh... yes, I will definitely give you a cheap price, and I hope you will patronize me a lot." Zhang Ke quickly shifted the eyes of the crowd and answered the question with the people around him.Yan Qianming stood there and looked at him, but Zhang Ke was at a loss and said again.

"Well... Qianming, if you are busy, go first, um, I will be here almost every day from now on, if you want to eat the food I cook, come here, I will leave a portion for you."

"Yes, look at how enthusiastic your friend is. This meal is delicious. You can give your friend a taste." The person who spoke just now opened his mouth again, and even stretched out his hand before Zhang Ke could react. He took the lunch box in his hand and handed it to Yan Qianming.

The thing in Zhang Ke's hand was taken away suddenly, he realized it, and just about to take it back, unexpectedly, Yan Qianming over there reacted faster and caught him off guard.

"I said it! I won't eat it!" Yan Qianming said loudly, and with a wave of his elbow, the lunch box in the man's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and the lunch box shattered, and the food inside was scattered all over the floor. It splashed on the man's shiny leather shoes.

"Yan Qianming! What are you dragging here! Isn't it just someone who relies on the boss's daughter to get a job?" The man looked down, and the brand-new leather shoes were covered with food, and the smiling face just now disappeared instantly. The bad emotions seemed to be backlogged for a long time, and the words hidden in my heart came out in an instant.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Yan Qianming was furious when he heard this, and walked over and grabbed the man by the collar.

The people around hurriedly moved away from them, but they didn't leave, all of them looked like they were watching a good show.

"Don't, don't, don't hurt your friendship because of this little thing. I'm sorry, brother, he didn't mean it. He really can't eat it. Your leather shoes are dirty and I will accompany you. Can you come and get them at this time tomorrow?" Zhang Ke quickly rushed over and stopped the two of them. He was tall and slender, and he was a head taller than the man. When the man saw it, he would not be able to gain the upper hand if there was a conflict, so he could only mutter two words. That's all for now.

"Hmph! Look, your friend who sells lunch boxes is much better at dealing with people than you!"

After hearing this, Yan Qianming cast another vicious look over him, and that person shivered all over, and walked away in disgrace.

"Yan Qianming... You, don't you think I'm selling boxed lunches here, and you know me as a shame? If so, I can pretend not to know you!" Zhang Ke cast a glance at Yan Qianming, as if he had never really I will not comfort this person.

Instead of looking at Yan Qianming who was still standing by as if he was about to lose his temper at any time, Zhang Ke tidied up the boxes by himself, and went to clean up the mess on the ground.

After hearing Zhang Ke's words, Yan Qianming's thoughts were mercilessly pierced through, and his whole body blushed in embarrassment. Zhang Ke ignored him and was so angry that he could only snort and walk away.
