Awakening bell off template, endowed in Terra

Open the lid of the lunch box, the green pepper fried meat and rice are warm to the touch.There is no steaming white smoke at all, as if left over from scooping up in the shop.

There are many restaurants near the office building, but few of them are good and cheap.There is no food delivery industry in Longmen, so if you want to order food, you need to call in advance to make an appointment.

Wang Ju chewed a few mouthfuls, felt that the taste was not right, and spat out the meat.There are lumps of lymphatic material on the meat slices, which looks disgusting.

She frowned and scolded the unscrupulous merchant countless times in her heart.But you get what you pay for, and this kind of fast food can't eat lean meat.Even if the taste is not good, it is difficult to swallow with a sip of water.

In order to buy a house in Shangcheng District, Wang Ju has worked very hard to save money.I usually only use the company's water dispenser to drink water, and I only charge it at the company, and even use the toilet at the company.I'm really too busy to order this kind of cheap fast food.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bridge the invisible gap, and she still hasn't even saved the down payment.

Watching colleagues dress up glamorously every day, and add an expensive bag from time to time.Wang Ju often wonders why they can live so easily?

The sisters who played well suggested that she find an honest man to marry.But the men in the upper city are smart, and they pay attention to being well-matched.Knowing that her family lived in a poor area and had a lame father, she didn't have anything to say.

Occasionally there are men who remain interested even after knowing her family background.But most of them are looking for temporary pleasure and want to develop short-term relationships.Just because I want to play casually, I don't mind the conditions of the woman's family.

"What are you doing?!"

An angry shout interrupted Wang Ju's thoughts:

"It's working time now, how can you eat? Have you finished drawing the draft required by the construction period? How can you eat with peace of mind? Are you a bit promising? If you are so lazy and go to work, why don't you do it. If you don't do it, this Some work is done by people!"

The manager spoke very badly as if he had eaten a firecracker.No need to guess, he must have just been scolded by the leader, so he vented his negative emotions to the employees.

Wang Ju apologized again and again, like an ostrich with her head buried, her eyes fixed on her toes:

"I'm sorry, manager, I'm really sorry. I didn't eat lunch. I'm really hungry."

"It doesn't matter to me whether you eat or not? Don't eat at your work station, it will affect other people's work!"

"Yes, I won't next time, manager."

With a humble attitude, Wang Ju packed up her lunch box and went to the lounge.

At the same time, the phone rang suddenly.After connecting, Shi Lei's voice came.

"Ms. Wang Ju, we are employees of Penguin Logistics. You need to sign for a shipment, but I didn't see you when I arrived in the community. Are you at work?"

"Yes, I'm still working overtime."

"Could you please provide the company address? We will get off work after delivering your order."

"Okay, can I ask what you got?"

"sausage."

Wang Ju hadn't eaten sausage for two or three years, and her saliva almost flowed out at the thought of the taste.

I really miss it, the smell of home.

"The 11th floor of Block C, just opposite the community. I still have time to rest, so hurry up and come here."

"Okay, Penguin Logistics, the mission must be accomplished!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ju felt a little lost.She stared at the box lunch in her hand, and suddenly felt that it was not delicious.

The day after tomorrow is December, and when it turns to January, it will be Chinese New Year.As expected, I should not go back this year.Still the same as in previous years, staying in the rental house and watching TV.

It's not that Wang Ju doesn't want to go back, but that she has no face to go back.

When I got my first salary, I thought I was capable, so I bought my father an army green fluffy coat.I heard that he would show off to everyone, saying that his precious daughter bought it.But after that, I never bought it again.

Memories are like onions that are silently pushed away, making her eyes wet before she knows it.

Considering that this is a break room, there are many colleagues from different departments present.Wang Ju sighed, and quickly pulled away from her emotions.He took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes, and opened the makeup box to touch up makeup.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

When Wang Ju came to the elevator on the [-]th floor, she met two Penguin logistics employees who were delivering goods in the afternoon.

Shi Lei handed over a crumpled plastic bag, which contained bundles of sausages.The woman handed over a beautifully framed painting that looked very classy.

"Your father always likes to draw daisies when he is at home. This time he picked a pair for us to send."

Wang Ju originally reached out to pick up the sausage, but stopped in mid-air after seeing the painting.Instead, pick up the painting first, then take the sausage and hide it under the picture frame to avoid

To be seen by colleagues.

She didn't have vanity before, and it was only after she went to work that she was sure that she had vanity.

Those good-looking clothes, exquisite cosmetics, and expensive bags are like a thorn in my heart.You don't need money to pull it out, just keep staying there, and it gets deeper and deeper.

"Thank you, I'll go in then."

"Ms. Wang, please wait a moment." Shi Lei called to stop the other party: "Your father asked us to bring you a message, asking when you will go back for the Chinese New Year."

Wang Ju's expression was a little unnatural. When she spoke, she glanced at the office area to avoid staring at each other, and replied vaguely:

"I have a project that needs to be followed up, and I don't have time to go back during the Chinese New Year. Thank you for sending me here, goodbye."

When she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a sentence:

"Your father is dying."

Wang Ju twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look at the other party in surprise, and couldn't believe her ears:

"Sorry, you, what did you just say?!"

"I said, your father is dying."

In just a few seconds, Wang Ju's expression changed from surprise to shock to disbelief, and finally to anger:

"What's the matter with you guy? Is there such a curse on your parents? I want to sue you!"

In order to make the news sound more credible, Shi Lei's attitude was very impatient, with a bit of disdain:

"You are very funny. How long has it been since I went home to see him? Don't you know? If it weren't for the old man's pity, I wouldn't be too lazy to talk nonsense with an unfilial girl like you. He only draws daisies at home every day, don't you still Don’t you understand what it means? Daisy, Ju, you have Ju in your name. Really, how can you be such an unlucky daughter.”

Wang Ju's momentum was greatly reduced, her mind was buzzing, and she felt blank.

My father is lame and stays at home all year round, and he really hasn’t been back for a long time:

"No, if something happens to my dad, he will definitely tell me. Are you lying? I'll call him right away to confirm the situation."

"Come on, your dad's voice is too hoarse to speak. What's the use of making a phone call? He's losing one day of his life now, and it's hard to meet an unfilial daughter like you. The journey of more than half an hour is like killing you. If you really want to care about him, why don’t you go back and see yourself?”

After all, Shi Lei entered the elevator with Ke Song without looking back, and ignored the other party's yelling.

Wang Ju took out her mobile phone and wanted to send a text message, but her father couldn't read very well. Do you really want to go back now?

Staring at the painting of daisies next to her, Wang Ju's eyes turned red, and her mind was full of thoughts.I remembered that when I was young, my father often put delicious food in her bowl.She asked her father to eat it too, and he said that he had already eaten it in advance.

If the father is really bedridden, he may choose to hide it because he is afraid that he will worry about it.

Suddenly, a strong sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaoju? Did the manager speak too hard just now? Hey, don't worry about that idiot."

Seeing her crying and red-eyed, the colleague quickly comforted her and asked what happened.

Wang Ju opened her mouth, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat.She packed her things choked up without any explanation.Leaving the company with a satchel on his back and the painting in his arms, he hailed a taxi on the street and headed to the slums.

It was obviously only three or four 10 minutes away, but it became extremely long at this time.Looking at the beautifully framed painting of daisies in her hand, Wang Ju really regretted it.Regret that he shouldn't have neglected his father, regret reporting good news but not worrying, regret lying for vanity, and even more regret not going back sooner.

She used to think that her father was an upright man who could solve everything by herself.It was only at this moment that Wang Ju finally realized.He is also a fragile person, but he chose to support himself alone.

People only know how to cherish when they lose.

She really regretted it. When she received calls from her father over the years, she made various prevarications and excuses for not going back.It is a kind of fatherly love that is ashamed to express and cannot be said, like the fallen leaves after autumn.Can't hear it, but it's always there.

I can only blame myself for being too young to understand the meaning behind those words.I just want to plunge headlong into the big dye vat of society and prove myself to my father with actions.

What's the point of proving it?

My father will be very happy if he saves money and buys a house through hard work.But the reason why he is happy is that the child has a worry-free future, not because he wants to covet this house.

It is said that home is the harbor of life, even if you can't catch fish in the sea, you have to go home and have a look.

"pat..."

Tears fell on the frame and meandered down.Wang Ju stretched out her fingers to caress Daisy, feeling a little cold.

The driver didn't know what happened to the female passenger, and he didn't get a response after a few words of comfort.Accelerate quickly, want to reach the destination earlier.But he didn't notice the orange pickup truck that continued to follow not far behind him.

……

Three 10-minute journey, like walking on horseback.

Let Wang Ju revisit all the good memories of getting along with his father, and his emotions collapsed even more.

"arrive."

Hearing the driver's words, Wang Ju raised her head suddenly.She grabbed a handful of money from her wallet and stuffed it to the other party:

"keep the change."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ju got out of the car with the painting in her arms.Staring at this home that I have lived in for nearly 20 years, I have a complicated expression.

When did the orange tree at the door grow so tall?It seems that after my father injured his leg, he never pruned the branches again.

She took the key out of her satchel and thrust it into the keyhole tremblingly.Open the door and run inside holding the painting:

"Dad, where are you?!"

Wang Ju walks through the cramped

In the corridor and small living room, I saw my father who was painting in the utility room.This place has been transformed into a studio by him, and there are many paintings piled up in the room, all of which are daisies without exception.

"dad!"

The old man was a little dazed, and looked back following the sound.Seeing the return of the daughter whom he missed day and night, the wrinkles on his face were crowded together, and he grinned.

Before the old man could speak, Wang Ju put down the framed painting and rushed over to hug him tightly.Tears were like bursting a bank, apologizing while crying:

"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

The sobbing and crying broke the old man's heart. He wondered what happened to his daughter?Was he bullied by a vicious leader?Or was he abandoned by a scumbag?

When the old man caught a glimpse of the painting of daisies placed at the door of the studio, his heart trembled.This is one of the paintings he gave to the Penguin logistics staff to deduct the shipping fee, but now it is framed and appears in Xiaoju's hands.It can only mean that her sudden return home has something to do with those two people.

The old man who guessed the truth helplessly forced a wry smile.He wanted to be strong since he was a child. After his wife died, he didn't renew his strings, and he raised his daughter alone.Since he was crippled, he had been helped by many people, so he didn't like to owe favors to others very much.Although this method is a bit of a joke, the daughter did come back:

"Oh, my dear daughter, don't cry. There are sausages in the refrigerator, and I'll cook them for you tonight."

When Wang Ju heard it, she stopped crying immediately, she raised her head in surprise, and looked at the caring old man in front of her:

"Dad, can you talk?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Wang Ju's expression was strange, and she felt that she was being teased. She immediately clenched her fists and cursed viciously:

"I knew that the Penguin logistics employee had no good intentions! He dared to lie to me, saying that you were going to die, and I thought he was going to die because of his **** (longmen swearing). Damn it, I want to sue him!!!"

The old man is a sensible person, and he already owes him a favor at the moment.If Wang Ju succeeds in her complaint, she will owe even more.

Seeing his daughter calling Penguin Logistics while cursing, he hesitated for a moment and stopped:

"Xiaoju, don't complain. They are kind people, maybe they are exaggerating."

"I can't exaggerate. If I didn't work overtime, I ran over directly. This matter will never end with them!"

"Xiaoju, stop complaining. I... I am really going to die."

When Wang Ju heard this, she froze immediately.She looked at her father suspiciously, a little unbelievable:

"Dad, don't lie to me."

Now, old man, there are only two choices.Either they lied, punished the two employees of Penguin Logistics, and even lost their jobs.Either say you didn't lie and maintain this white lie.This will also allow Xiaoju to go home a little more often.

Recalling the days when I was a child serving vegetables and meat to my daughter, while I hid in the kitchen and cooked white rice.

Even if he chooses again, he will not regret it, and feels that all the sacrifices are worthwhile:

"Silly boy, how could I lie to you?"

……

The heated sausage is steaming.

Mouth-watering scents spread over the daisies on the windowsills, as well as the numerous unframed paintings.

The moment the wind blows, the daisy has warmth.
