Director of the Centre

Chapter 10 Talents

Under Tao Tao's astonished gaze, Han Lu stretched out his hands behind his back, and stuffed a plastic bag into her hands.

"This is..." The plastic bag was very heavy, and Tao Tao was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.At first glance, it turned out to be a bag full of Fengshui pears.

Fengshui pear, as the name suggests, is full of juice, one bite, and the mouth is full of pear juice.Other fruits are full of water, so the taste will inevitably be bland, but this one is different.Not only is it extremely sweet, but it also has a natural rich fragrance.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, pears naturally have the effect of quenching thirst, resolving phlegm and clearing the lungs, and can be used as medicine.

Liyuanxing has always regarded pears as a must to protect the throat.

Tao Tao was emotionally excited today, she didn't pay attention, her throat broke out, she was panicking in her heart, she didn't care about talking nonsense with Han Lu at the moment, she ran into the kitchen with her bag in her hand, washed it with tap water, cut a piece and put it in her mouth .

Suddenly, a burst of cool air exploded in the mouth and spread to the throat.

The hotness and slight tingling in the throat before were subdued instantly and became comfortable.

"How is it, sweet?"

Tao Tao turned her head and glanced at him, saying it was okay.

Han Lu said triumphantly beside her: "I knew you girls like fruit. I was the one who was sorry for you before. Today, I feel very sad. I have a virtue. Look at it. When others are unhappy, I am also very sad. Especially because of me."

It was good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Tao Tao became furious, but she couldn't make a sound, so she rolled her eyes.

"What kind of expression do you have? Are you still refusing to forgive me?" Han Lu said anxiously, "Fengshui pears are quite expensive. It cost me more than 80 yuan, which is three days' salary. Cash? I just reported today, and my family didn’t give me much money when I came. Or, wait until next month’s salary. As long as you don’t get angry, you can say anything.”

This person keeps mentioning money, which is really vulgar.

Who is Tao Tao? Although her professional title is not high, she is a leader among young and middle-aged actors.

The actors in the cultural center have spent their whole lives in love, and they are all made of water.And Han Lu fell in like a piece of mud, immediately turning this refreshing world into a mess.

With an angry look on her face, Tao Tao pointed to the door.

"Are you driving me away?" Han Lu said, "Is this considered to be forgiven me? Talk to me. If you don't forgive me, I won't leave."

Tao Tao finally couldn't bear it any longer, she pushed him out roughly, and slammed the door.

……

"Anyway, it's finally settled down."

One bedroom and one living room, with kitchen and bathroom, furniture and appliances are also bought.It's just that today is too hasty to prepare rice, oil and salt.

Han Lu just soaked two packs of instant noodles, ate it with beer, and felt slightly drunk.

Probably because of choosing a shop, he was half asleep that night, waking up suddenly from time to time, opened his eyes, looked at the furnishings in the room, and couldn't remember where it was for a while.

The stars are bright outside, and the night sky at high altitudes is exceptionally bright.

Looking at the Milky Way outside the window for a long time, he realized that he was about to start a new life alone in a foreign land. At this moment, he was a real adult and needed to be responsible for his future life.

Han Lu was awakened by the sound of actors hanging their throats in the cultural center.

"Ahhh, Mimimi..." It was like a rooster starting the morning.

With this master as the leader, others joined in one after another.

"Brother Liu's words are too unreasonable, who said that women enjoy leisure..." High-pitched and loud.

"Falling red is in formation, the wind is blowing thousands of points to worry about people, the pond is dreaming, and the spring is farewell to the sill; the butterfly powder is lightly stained with flying snow..." tactfully replied.

Then, the violin was not to be outdone.Fan Ahling must be played in a ensemble, pulled by one person, like a blunt knife sawing slowly in your head, life and death will not give you a good time; it is also like a bristle brush brushing back and forth in your throat, itchy and crispy, Sour.

Han Lu didn't sleep well, and was suddenly woken up by the noise. He looked at his phone, it was six o'clock in the morning.Unconsciously, I was very angry, and I jumped up subconsciously, and I was about to cry out when I lay on the window: "What's the funeral?"

But in an instant he woke up, smiled wryly and shook his head.

But I saw actors standing at attention for morning exercises everywhere in the building.Peking opera, Sichuan opera, huqin, and violin competed with each other, causing headaches.

A voice next to him caught his attention: "Leaders, ladies and gentlemen, on this Spring Festival, let's bid farewell to the old and welcome the new..."

It turned out that it was Lao Liu who lived next door to Han Road, a Huqin master and announcer, and was doing his homework at the moment: "The small speaker has started broadcasting. Hello, children."

Han Lu laughed out his phlegm with a puff.

After Lao Liu roared this sentence, he began to breathe deeply toward the rising sun again, like an old monk in meditation, the fat on his double chin opened and shrunk with the morning breeze, which made people suspect that he was practicing toad kung fu.

The old man is indeed practicing.

Later, when Han Lu got to know him well, he realized that Lao Liu was already in his early fifties this year.In the 70s, an extraordinary period, the unit was in chaos.He is a well-known free and unfettered sect, and he didn't participate in the competition in the regiment, so he practiced this set of qigong called "Swallowing the Rising Sun".Get up in the morning, face the sun, and absorb the rising sun essence.

After 30 years of practice, Kung Fu has not developed, but cataracts have fallen.

However, this set of qigong still brought him huge troubles in that special era.Some people say, you dare to swallow the red sun, isn't that reactionary?
As a result, Lao Liu was beaten into a gray grandson by the angry crowd, and the Xiaoyao faction could not be regarded as a grandson.

There was no way to sleep now, so Han Lu went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth while calling Tao Tao: "Sister Tao, are you practicing?"

"It's you?"

"How is your voice feeling better?"

"Hey, how do you know that my throat is uncomfortable?" Tao Tao's voice over there was full of surprise.

Han Lu said proudly: "Sister Tao, although your voice is usually not loud, it has a very strong penetrating power. No matter how far away you are, or how noisy it is next to you, you can still hear clearly. But I went to your room last night. At that time, your voice was a little rough, and you had a pear in your mouth, obviously your throat was not strong. How about it, I am observant, right?"

Tao Tao was silent for a moment: "Fortunately, I have been sucking pears all night, and I feel much more comfortable."

"You've been sucking pears all night, aren't you afraid of swallowing your stomach?" Han Lu was a little worried, then looked at his big mouth in the mirror, and suddenly realized: "Of course I'm going to be bad, Sister Tao, who are you, little cherry? Mouth, you can eat anything."

"Han Lu, if you don't know how to talk, talk less." Tao Tao was a little annoyed, and was silent for a moment: "Thank you for your pears."

Han Lu: "You really sucked pears all night?"

Tao Tao: "Of course, when I woke up this morning, the piece of pear I had been sucking all night turned black, obviously the evil fire in my body has been pulled out."

Han Lu disagreed: "What evil fire, there is no scientific basis, you are idealistic. In my opinion, the pear is a chemical reaction under the action of digestive enzymes in your saliva. Also, the fruit contains a lot of sugar, You sleep with your mouth in your mouth every day, aren’t you afraid of dental caries? Your throat is uncomfortable, you should see a doctor and respect science.”

As soon as he babbled, Tao Tao felt irritable, and said coldly: "Han Lu, I take back the thank you just now, and I still don't forgive you."

Today was Han Lu's first day at work strictly speaking. He had breakfast, slept in the cage, and entered the accounting room on time at nine o'clock.

Although Chang Yuehua was very rude to him yesterday, Han Lu was worried, and still smiled and called "Sister" ignoring Aunt Chang's hygienic eyes.

The five people in the financial office finally arrived today, all middle-aged women.Chang Yuehua ignored Han Lu, and Han Lu took the initiative to go up to greet the other four people, exchanging names, it was considered acquaintance.

He was about to boil water for some aunts to make tea to get closer to each other, but unexpectedly, they greeted each other and made an appointment to sell vegetables on the street. There was a whistling sound, leaving Han Lu alone to watch the stall.

For a whole morning, the five aunts did not show up again, and it is estimated that they will not come in the afternoon.

Han Lu felt strange. At noon, he took the boxed lunch he bought from the street outside, and asked the concierge, Lao Jin, if the aunt in the financial office didn't go to work, what if the unit had something to do?
Lao Jin: "What's the matter? There's a shit, the unit is so rotten, even if you want to do the bills, he has to have the bills to do it? Xiao Han, come, come, let's have a few drinks and chat."

Back in [-], various units seemed to have no labor discipline restrictions on drinking. You could drink as much as you wanted, as long as it didn’t affect your work, and you wouldn’t even be arrested for drunk driving.

Lao Jin was quite straightforward, seeing that Han Lu was interested in him, he immediately took out a bottle of white wine.

After each of them drank about two or three, Uncle Jin said: "Xiao Han, you have to be careful that Chang Yuehua can use you as a crutch."

Han Lu was a little distressed: "I haven't offended Aunt Chang, why does she dislike me?"

"You stole someone's job."

Lao Jindao, Chang Yuehua was Wei Peisheng sent to art school by his work unit in the early 70s, where he studied Sichuan Opera.You know that in those years, famous actors and teachers were all knocked down, and she couldn't learn anything in the few years she went there.After returning to the troupe, she couldn't handle a scene, so she could only stand beside her and pretend to be a palace maid who didn't speak or move.In fact, in that training class, no character was cultivated, it was purely Gong'e Cainu Wholesale Shop.

Auntie Chang couldn't act, and when she got old, she became a wooden figure on the stage. Her waist was sore and her legs hurt after a scene, so she went to the leader to complain.

The leader had no choice but to arrange for her to do finance.

Speaking of which, Chang Yuehua only had a junior high school education.Now that a college student like you is here, and she is studying this major, she is afraid that you will take her position away, and she will still be sent back to do manual work for the curtain.

Hearing this, Han Lu suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say.

While chatting, Yang Guang, director of the cultural and art center, happened to come to the unit and smelled alcohol: "If you drink it, with such a big cup, you won't be afraid of getting drunk?"

Han Lu said that he likes to deal with Dali, and said with a smile: "Director, you underestimated me. When I was in college in the provincial capital, I often went to the street with my classmates to eat skewers, and I couldn't stop drinking them. It's not bragging, three Two just wet the lower mouth, half a catty striding like flying, a catty down, a tiger can be killed."

Yang Guang's eyes brightened immediately: "The amount of one catty is rare. Talented people. They deserve to be key college students and intellectuals!"
