Rooted

Chapter 4

Naturally thinking of himself, he felt that his Adam's apple was much less obvious than Fu Wensheng's.

After drinking another cup, Fu Wensheng lowered his head, looking thoughtfully at the empty teacup.

He likes the tea I make, Gan Hezhi thinks so.

On the way back to Qiangwei Community, Gan Hezhi leaned against the car window and took a nap.

The bus suddenly braked suddenly in the middle of the road, Gan Hezhi knocked his head on the front seat, and he "hiss—" in pain

He let out a sound, touched his forehead, and heard the master scolding the people outside, "Can you drive?!"

He sat up straight, beat the numb side of his neck, and slowly straightened his head.When the bus reached the last traffic light before the stop, he bent over and stood up, taking advantage of the gap between the bus stop and waiting for the red light, he walked quickly to the back door.

The signal light turned green, the car restarted, Gan Hezhi's body swayed backwards, and he hooked the pole with one arm until the bus stopped at the stop.

The buses are electric, and there is no smoky exhaust.

Gan Hezhi got off the previous car, stood on the platform, and checked the estimated arrival time of the next bus he was going to transfer to.

After confirming, he turned around and looked at the other side of the street in a daze, motionless, staring at an unspecial point on the asphalt road, his gaze gradually diverged, like a sleeping robot with its eyes open.

There is a flower shop across the street, only one road away from the platform.

Gan Hezhi himself doesn't know when his gaze started to fall on that store. Anyway, when he was conscious, he was already staring at the flower basket at the door of the store. Maybe it was the overflowing green initiative. He hooked his eyes and told him "It's better to look at me than to look at the road".

Gan Hezhi looked back, thinking that anyway, the next bus is still 10 minutes away, so why not go and have a look.

He didn't see anyone when he entered the store, so he knocked on the sliding door first, and then asked twice, but still no one responded, so he looked around outside the store.

The owner of the car repair shop next door saw it and yelled towards the small restaurant in the distance. The loud voice almost scared Gan Hezhi away. Fortunately, the young woman in the restaurant came out in time.

In the whole store, the scent of lilies is the most obvious, and that smell can almost be called rampage.

Putting it in his own hut would probably be a bit irritating, Gan Hezhi thought so, it would be much better if it was placed in Mr. Fu's house, after all, the villa has a lot of space.Mr. Fu's house is so spacious that Qian Hezhi feels a pity every time he sees it.

He went back and forth in the flower shop twice, the reality of poverty finally failed to suppress the desire to spend on a whim, and the proprietress kept around him to introduce, which made Gan Hezhi feel embarrassed to leave empty-handed, and finally bought three Lily in bud.

I hope Mr. Fu won't mind having a few more flowers at home.

Gan Hezhi simply trimmed the lily branches he bought, put them in a vase, and placed them on the bedside table.

The afternoon sun shines lazily through an old window into this narrow and cramped space.

Gan Hezhi was looking up with his feet up, but he became sleepy after a while, so he fell into a drowsy sleep.

On this sunny afternoon, amidst the faint scent of lilies, he found some joy in living alone for the first time.

The environment is not good, not even on the side of tranquility, but he has made a small decision for himself, and he is sincerely happy about it.

Even if the decision is just to buy a bouquet of flowers.

When it came time to pay the rent, Gan Hezhi went to the bank with a pocketful of money.He is not yet an adult and has no identity documents. It is very troublesome to go to the bank to apply for a card, and he needs various proofs.

So every time he pays the rent, he goes directly to the bank to use the self-service terminal, transfers the money to the landlord's card, and then collects the voucher.

Aunt Xu used her mobile phone to transfer the money earned from cleaning in Zhoumi Garden to him. Qian Hezhi was not very good at it, and it didn’t feel realistic to watch a number change back and forth. Aunt Xu taught him how to operate, and brought He walked the field several times before he gradually overcame the guilty feeling of going to the supermarket to buy things with an empty pocket.

The cash in his hand is getting less and less, Gan Hezhi always feels a little flustered.

From time to time in the past two days, he would think of when he first came out, although it was not too long from now.

At that time, like now, he carried a pocket of money.I had no place to live, so I stayed for two days in a dilapidated hotel that didn’t check for documents. I bought a cheap smartphone and asked about rental houses nearby.

Gan Hezhi heard about the Qiangwei community while listening to the hotel receptionist chatting with others. They said that the rent in the Qiangwei community was very cheap, but Gan Hezhi didn’t make a decision right away. Walking around, like a primitive man who just came to the modern city from the depths of the mountains, he is full of curiosity and fear about everything.

Originally, Gan Hezhi would stay in the hotel for a longer period of time, because he had endured the fact that the bed in the newly booked room had been slept on, and the quilt had not even been folded. He thought he had seen enough about the pungent smell and other problems.

Unexpectedly, a drunk man came into his room in the middle of the night.

The man threw himself on the bed smelling of alcohol, and when he touched Gan Hezhi, Gan Hezhi woke up from a dream, as if all the blood in his body was congealed.

After reacting, he scrambled and jumped out of the window at the head of the bed, then sneaked back to the room, took the luggage and fled amidst thunderous snoring.

Facts have proved that hasty decisions are always accompanied by greater costs. Gan Hezhi paid a deposit for half a year before successfully persuading the landlord of the house he lives in to rent the house to him.

On the first night of moving in, Gan Hezhi only made one bed.He was honed in an unfamiliar environment for a day, faced with countless unknown people and completely unfamiliar social rules, and finally exhausted, he fell asleep clutching the yellowed house key.

This is the first time he has had contact with this society in his own name.

Gan Hezhi carried a thin white long-necked vase with three lilies in it, one had already bloomed, and the other two only had green buds. He arrived at Zhoumi Garden earlier than usual, a little nervous and nervous. Some expectantly entered the password, entered the door, and there was no movement in the room.

Gan Hezhi came to the second floor with the vase in his arms. He saw that the door of the study room and the master bedroom were both open, and there was no one in the room. He went around the door of other rooms unwillingly to confirm that Fu Wensheng was not at home today.

Gan Hezhi felt frustrated. He glanced at the vase in his arms, touched the frosted body of the vase lightly, touched the flower buds, and sighed, feeling a little pity.

When cleaning, he deliberately took the vase to the balcony to prevent the lilies from getting dusty during the cleaning process. After everything was tidied up, he took the flowers into the house, tried to place them everywhere, and finally placed them on the balcony. On the TV cabinet in the living room.

Dark brown logs, paired with white porcelain, have a kind of elegant solemnity.

Qian Hezhi took a look before leaving, and felt that it was quite harmonious, so he couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.

After the cleaning task for the day was completed, Aunt Xu transferred money to Ganhezhi on her mobile phone as usual, which is Ganhezhi's only source of income now.

On the one hand, the daily expenses are overwhelming and breathless;

On the other hand, even in such a tight state, he still tightened his belt and bought a vase for Mr. Fu, who lived in a big villa alone.

Now the complete capital chain is on the verge of collapse.

Finally, under the imminent situation, Gan Hezhi reluctantly recognized the reality and began to look for a new job.

A colleague from the original theater forwarded a recruitment message in Moments. Gan Hezhi took a look and found that the recruiting yogurt shop opened on the outskirts of a shopping mall. Although it was a bit far from where he lived, there was a bus that could go nearby.

Gan Hezhi wrote down the contact number, called, made an appointment with someone, and got on the bus early the next morning.

The appointed time was 08:30, Gan Hezhi arrived at the door of the store around [-]:[-], and waited until almost [-]:[-] for someone to come.

"You came quite early." The store manager opened the door and introduced the situation to Gan Hezhi, "It's like this, our store is short of people these two days, and an employee has something to do in his hometown, so he took a month's leave to wait for him When we come back, we don’t need so many people in the store.”

Gan Hezhi nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Then you can stay here first. During the one-week trial period, if you leave within one week, you won't be paid. Just watch me do it this morning, and do it yourself this afternoon."

There are not many varieties of yogurt in the store. Gan Hezhi learned from the store manager and quickly mastered several basic steps. It is not difficult to add fruits and other ingredients according to the different flavors selected by customers.

"Actually, it's not a big problem if you make a mistake..." The store manager finally told him, "The most important thing is that you have to place an order and receive the money before you can make things, understand?"

Gan Hezhi nodded obediently.

In the afternoon, he operated by himself under the supervision of the store manager. The customers who came to the store were scattered, and the hands and feet were quite neat. The store manager seemed quite satisfied with him.

When there were no customers, the store manager chatted with him and asked his age, "Are you only fifteen?"

After hearing Gan Hezhi's reply, the store manager sighed with emotion, and joked with him again, "I ran out to work at such a young age, is it because I'm talking about a girlfriend, so I'm short of money?"

"No..." Gan Hezhi denied, a little embarrassed, "I just want to make some money."

"That's good, that's what men want! Earn money earlier, and earn a lot of money, it's better than anything else!"

The store manager was a little emotional, "Let me tell you, don't look at me with no academic qualifications, but I have taken care of quite a few people, including undergraduates and postgraduates, and they are all under my command."
