Chapter 2 Strange Bamboo
As expected, Luo's mother didn't hear anything at all, and said reassuringly: "It's okay. I've finished eating early, but your dad is still drinking. It's like this every day, it's so procrastinating that it's hard to clean up the dishes! Tell me, eat.
The last thing to do is wash the dishes!”
"You have to drink slowly before drinking. What do you know!"
Before Ronnie could speak, Luo's father's rebuttal came over the phone.
"Yeah, I don't understand. Believe it or not, one day I will move all your wine jars out and throw them away! Every day when I come back, I know how to drink and drink!" Luo's mother raised her voice and spoke unceremoniously to Luo's father.
Then he continued into the phone: "I won't talk about your dad anymore. Is it hot there lately? Be careful not to get a heat stroke."
Roni took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust her emotions, and said: "It's okay. It's not as hot as at home. It's just that the ultraviolet rays are stronger than at home, and I'm even tanned."
Luo’s mother: “Use a sun umbrella.”
Roni: "The wind is too strong, so it's hard to hold an umbrella."
Luo's mother: "Then there's nothing we can do. You made your own choice. I asked you to come back to take the teacher exam, but you didn't want to take the civil servant exam."
Ronnie knew that what followed must be a cliché, but she didn't refute, just covered her mouth and listened quietly.
One of Luo's parents and Luo's mother graduated from junior high school and the other from elementary school. Neither of them are educated people. They have lived in a small town on the 18th tier all their lives and have never even been to the city. Naturally, their horizons are not broad. In their eyes, the best
There are only three professions - teachers, doctors and civil servants.
When Ronnie took the college entrance examination, her father and mother wanted her to go directly to a normal school. However, Ronnie was in a rebellious stage at that time. The more her parents wanted her to do something, the more she wanted to do the opposite. Moreover, she wanted to leave.
The further away they are, the better.
So, when it came time to fill in her application for the college entrance examination, she chose all schools from other places.
As a result, she failed the college entrance examination.
Not only did my first choice fail, but my second choice was also adjusted and I was lucky enough to get an admission notice.
The family didn't know anything about this. They only knew that she was admitted to university and became the first college student in Luojiawan. She seemed so happy that she even invited many relatives and friends to have a dinner.
During that time, Roni smiled quite reluctantly in the face of praises from relatives and friends. She considered repeating her studies, but her family's financial situation simply did not allow it. In the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the train alone to arrive in He Province.
City x college reported it.
When she was looking for a job after graduation, every time she met her peers who had graduated from a first-class university, Roni felt envious and ashamed. Then she finally discovered that she was actually an ordinary person - with an average IQ and ordinary abilities. Just like this
Most people in the world.
Those grand dreams of adolescence are just dreams after all.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Roni was finally approved by the doctor and could get out of bed and walk.
During this period, no one from the company came again. However, the business owner of the light sign visited her several times in the hospital and actively negotiated for compensation.
Finally, before Roni was discharged from the hospital, the two parties reached an agreement—the merchant reimbursed all medical expenses and compensated Roni 60,000 yuan.
This money is not a small amount for Roni. It can only be said that the merchant is kind. After all, Roni is alone in Z city. If the other party really wants to cheat, she has no choice.
This compensation just solved Ronnie's urgent need. It allowed her to rest assured and not have to worry about work, rent and other issues for the time being.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, no one picked me up or sent me off.
Roni changed out of her hospital gown, put the sunhat she asked the nurse to buy on her head, and slowly walked out of the hospital gate.
After these days of training, her dizziness and nausea have improved a lot. However, she still can't do strenuous exercise. She can't sit in a car either.
Fortunately, the place where Roni rents is not too far from the hospital. A normal walk only takes about forty minutes. Roni walks more slowly, and she can get there in two hours, just like walking and shopping.
However, Ronnie overestimated her current physique.
After walking for less than half an hour, she couldn't hold on any longer - the morning sun was not too hot. She was wearing a hat, so it was nothing. It was just the steaming car exhaust on the street that made her uncomfortable.
Like a patient with a severe cold, sitting on the bus. It feels boring and nauseating.
"vomit."
Her stomach was tumbling, and Roni endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold it back. She rushed to the trash can in front of her and vomited. A few minutes later, she almost vomited out all the overnight meal in her stomach.
The feeling of nausea was slightly relieved.
However, his face, which was originally a little bloody, had turned pale. There seemed to be stars shining in front of his eyes.
"Oh, little girl, are you okay?"
The sanitation lady who was sweeping the floor next to her saw that she was holding on to the trash can, looking a little unsteady, so she rushed over to give her a hand and asked.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
Ronnie took a breath, wiped her mouth with a tissue, then turned around and smiled reluctantly at her aunt.
"Tsk, you look pale, it doesn't look like nothing is wrong. Let me help you sit by the flower bed in the small park for a while." The sanitation aunt was very enthusiastic, and Ronnie couldn't hold it in any longer, so she didn't refuse and let the aunt let her go.
He helped himself to the flower bed in the small park not far away.
"Little girl, are you alone? If you don't feel well, why don't you ask your family to pick you up?"
"My family is not in city Z."
"Looking at your age, have you just started working? That's a lot of trouble. Your parents are not around, and there is no one to take care of you when you are sick. My daughter is about the same age as you, and she was sick before. She cried when she called me. Let me tell you, girl.
It's fine if you just stay at home and work. If anything happens, your parents can take care of you. Unlike boys, who can't stand being beaten!"
"..."
The sanitation lady chatted with Roni very enthusiastically and familiarly for a while, and then turned back to sweep the floor. Roni sat by the flower bed, smelling the rich aroma of midsummer grass, and the feeling of nausea and boredom finally faded away from her heart.
.
About ten minutes later, Roni recovered and was ready to move forward. Suddenly, she smelled an unusually fresh smell. It was a smell that belonged to vegetation, but was even fresher than vegetation. What she smelled was
In an instant, she felt a jolt of energy and her whole body felt a little lighter.
Roni made a mistake and followed the direction the wind was blowing to find it.
Wandering around, Roni quickly arrived at Taoran Pavilion, the innermost part of the small park. Around the area, there were several large trees that two people could hug, scattered evenly. The canopy of the trees was lush, blocking out the sky and the sun.
There is only a gap in the northeast corner of the pavilion. There is a small bamboo forest planted there. However, for some reason, the bamboo forest does not grow well. In fact, some bamboo leaves and bamboo poles have turned yellow.
However, Luo Ni could smell that smell that was fresher than grass and trees, coming from the small bamboo forest.
Roni hesitated for two seconds, then slowly walked over. Finally, her eyes rested on a short and small bamboo in the middle of the small bamboo forest. The bamboo was about half a meter tall and as thick as a thumb.
There are only two branches and five bamboo leaves on the bamboo pole. The whole body is green and shiny. At a glance, it does not look like bamboo, but rather like an exquisite jade product.
Roni looked stunned. There were a lot of bamboos in her hometown, but she had never seen anything like this. She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch the bamboo. Unexpectedly, the top bamboo leaf seemed to have eyes, and it quickly grew
