Yesterday, my colleague wanted to give me twenty catties of vermicelli, but I didn't think about it and refused directly
When I got off work yesterday, my colleague Ran Ran stopped me: "Sister Xiaomei, my parents planted two acres of sweet potatoes at home this year and made a lot of sweet potato vermicelli. My mother called ** yesterday and told me to go home and bring vermicelli, and I will go back to my hometown after work tomorrow. Let's bring you 20 pounds this time, our vermicelli taste super good......”
Before Ran Ran could finish speaking, I directly interrupted her: "Thank you, I don't want your noodles." The 20 catties you gave last year haven't been eaten yet, and you can buy a lot of vermicelli for 500 yuan, so I think it's more practical to give me back the money. ”
Ran Ran's face turned red after hearing this, and she left in a hurry.
Xiang Li, a colleague next to her, heard our conversation and came over curiously: "Sister Xiaomei, how can there be such a good thing?"Why don't you want Rising Vermicelli?Now the noodles in the supermarket are not delicious, and it is a rare opportunity for her to give you 20 pounds. I've always wanted to buy some self-made noodles, and when she comes to work tomorrow, I'll discuss with her and ask her to give me 20 pounds too, I don't know if it's okay?”
Xiang Li, don't think too well about Ran Ran. Will she give me 20 pounds of vermicelli for nothing?There is no pie in the sky. Since last year, she has owed me 1,000 yuan, and she still refuses to pay it back. Since last year, I have been using vermicelli to offset the account, and the vermicelli she gave last year is still lying at my house, if you want to eat, go to my house to get it when you have time, and I will give it to you for free. I told Xiang Li with a wry smile.
Looking at Xiang Li's puzzled face, I slowly unraveled the truth of the matter for her, and the dissatisfaction in my heart gradually rose as I told her.
Ran Ran is my colleague in the company, she is very eloquent and always creates a cheerful atmosphere and makes everyone smile every day. Since I was a decade older than her, and I was more introverted, we were just ordinary colleagues in the company, and we rarely had deep friendships.
After the Chinese New Year last year, due to my stomach upset and the spicy and greasy food in the company restaurant, I only ate some white rice and steamed buns at noon every day, and rarely made dishes.
One day, I happened to have an upset stomach, and my husband was resting at home, and he called me in the morning and said not to eat in the canteen at noon, and he would make clear soup noodles and send them to the company. Due to my busy schedule, I don't have time to go home for dinner.
At noon that day, my husband sent a bowl of clear soup noodles with an insulated rice bucket. When I was done, I put the bucket under the table.
After work that day, I forgot about the rice bucket. The next morning, my stomach hurt and I took a day off to go to the hospital.
It wasn't until the third day of work that there was no rice bucket under the table, and I realized that I had forgotten about the rice bucket. When my husband asked about the rice bucket, it dawned on me: the rice bucket is placed under the table, why has it disappeared in the past few days?Who took it?Aunt Cleaning won't take it, because the rice bucket is very new, less than a month, and only used it twice.
So, I started asking my colleagues: Did anyone see the rice bucket under my desk?
The colleagues were at a loss when they heard this, only Ran Ran seemed to remember something, and came directly to tell me: "Sister Xiaomei, I've been too busy these days to forget to tell you." A few days ago, probably on the afternoon of the day you took leave, I went to the hospital after work to see my brother and daughter-in-law, who was hospitalized after giving birth.
On the way, I saw a newly opened pork rib soup shop, and I heard that it was delicious. The weather is cold, and if I bring the pork rib soup to the hospital, it is estimated that it will be cold, and it is not convenient to warm it in the hospital.
When I saw the insulated rice bucket under your desk, I took it and brought a bucket of pork rib soup to my brother and daughter-in-law. When I came back, I forgot the rice bucket in the hospital, and I didn't think to tell you when I was busy with work, and when I had time, I would return the rice bucket to you. Ran Ran said to me with a smile.
I felt a little helpless in the face of this remark, after all, she had already taken my rice bucket. However, there is also some displeasure in my heart: this rice bucket is mine, and if you want to use it, you should at least notify me. If I hadn't brought it up today, you probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to explain it.
I thought Ran Ran would return the rice bucket to me in a few days, but she told me that her brother and daughter-in-law couldn't find a suitable insulated rice bucket in the hospital, and it happened that mine was very suitable. Now the rice bucket has been used in the hospital, and she is embarrassed to take it back and return it to me when her brother and daughter-in-law are discharged from the hospital.
After listening to Ran Ran's explanation, I felt a little speechless. Although the rice bucket was less than 100 yuan, and we only used it twice, it was mine after all. What's more, you've been using it in the hospital, and if you return it to me in a month, I don't want to.
So, I told Ran Ran: "I don't want the rice bucket, give it to your brother and daughter-in-law." ”
After hearing this, Ran Ran kept saying "thank you".
Last summer, my mother-in-law was not feeling well, and I accompanied her to the hospital. In the corridor, I happened to meet Ran Ran with an elderly man to see a doctor.
Ran Ran saw me and came to me like a life-saving straw: "Sister Xiaomei, I am so lucky to meet you in the hospital today." You don't know how desperate I ...... just nowAt this, she burst into tears.
Seeing her crying, I thought her father was sick and hurriedly handed a tissue to comfort her.
While crying, she pulled me to the staircase, looked at no one around, wiped her tears and said to me, "Sister Xiaomei, can you transfer a thousand yuan to me?"The old man in the distance was my father, he was not feeling well, I took him to see a doctor, thinking that it would not cost much, and there was only 300 left on WeChat.
I'm a moonlight clan, there are 10 days left before the salary, the doctor prescribed more than 1,000 yuan of medicine to my father, I don't know what to do, I just met you, Sister Xiaomei, you are my nobleman, after the salary, I must pay you back first. Ran Ran said while crying.
When I heard this, my heart softened. My parents are also from the countryside, and looking at the old man's gray hair, it instantly reminded me of my parents. So, without hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and transferred 1,000 yuan to Ran Ran.
However, since the transfer of money that day, Ran Ran has never mentioned the repayment. I asked her for money twice, but she always emphasized: "Sister Xiaomei, we are colleagues, I can't run." I remember you lent me a thousand dollars, and I will always remember your kindness, and I will definitely pay you back. The main reason is that my father needs medicine in the near future, and he has to take him to see a doctor when he pays his salary, and he has been nervous about money, so don't worry, I will pay you back when I have money. ”
In the face of Ran Ran's sworn promise, I was embarrassed to urge her to repay the money again.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and when I got off work one day, Ran Ran quietly pulled me: "Sister Xiaomei, I went back to my hometown yesterday, and this year my parents made some sweet potato noodles and brought you twenty catties." Now come with me downstairs in the company and I'll give you the noodles. Don't tell anyone about this, I only brought it to you, because my parents thought you were a good person and specially asked me to bring it to you. ”
I was flattered to hear this, after all, she only brought it to me, and none of my other colleagues did.
I asked Ran Ran: "There are too many vermicelli, not two catties or three catties, I can't ask you for nothing, how can the vermicelli money be calculated?"”
Sister Xiaomei, our colleagues, our vermicelli is sold to others for 30 yuan a catty, and you will be calculated at 25 yuan a catty, 20 catties for a total of 500 yuan, don't give me money. I owe you $1,000 last time, and that's $500 back to you first. Ran Ran said with a smile.
After listening to it, I had an epiphany: it turned out that Ran Ran had already calculated, she was not giving it away for nothing, and she wanted to use these 20 catties of vermicelli to offset 500 yuan.
After learning about Ran Ran's purpose, I re-examined her: she was young and had a lot of thoughts.
Although I know that Ran Ran owes me 1,000 yuan, it is not good to urge again, but there is no vermicelli at home, and I have always wanted to buy some to make by myself.
That day, Ran Ran handed me a big bag and said that there were 20 catties of vermicelli in it. I happily took it home and opened the bag to see a lot of broken vermicelli.
Although there are many broken vermicelli, I don't care, after all, the vermicelli are all dry, and it is not convenient to carry, and it is normal to break some of them.
I prepared some vermicelli, soaked them in hot water to soften, and while boiling millet porridge, I cut the cabbage, intending to make cabbage pork vermicelli.
When I put the soaked vermicelli into the hot cabbage, a strange thing happened: the vermicelli gradually disintegrated, as if melting, and the chopsticks couldn't hold it at all.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I was cooking, my parents-in-law came back from the supermarket and put a bag of items in the storage room.
My mother-in-law said to me in surprise, "Xiaomei, do you know that the supermarket is holding an event today?"Vermicelli only sells for five yuan a catty, I bought 10 catties, such a cheap vermicelli may not be sweet potato flour, maybe it is tapioca flour. I see there are so many vermicelli in the storage room, you also bought them at the supermarket, right?”
When I heard this, I was shocked and asked my mother-in-law to take me to the storage room. Sure enough, my mother-in-law bought two packs of vermicelli, each pack of five catties, with a packaging bag on the outside, but after opening it, the vermicelli she bought was exactly the same as the one Ran Ran gave me, with the same color and humidity.
It is estimated that your colleague bought four packs in the supermarket, removed the outer packaging, pretended to make it himself, and sold it to you for 25 yuan a catty. The mother-in-law thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, I was a little incredulous. Later, my mother-in-law made two dishes herself, and compared the noodles she bought with the noodles she gave me, and when I saw the two plates of identical noodles, I finally believed it, because the appearance and taste were indistinguishable.
Later, when shabu-shabu was cooked, my family and I compared two kinds of vermicelli, and after putting them in the pot, the chopsticks couldn't hold it, and the taste was no different.
When I was younger, I made sweet potato vermicelli in my hometown, and I would dry a lot of them every year, and the homemade vermicelli was both chewy and delicious, and these were obviously not real sweet potato vermicelli. The mother-in-law said with emotion, recalling the scene of drying vermicelli.
After that experience, my perception of Ran Ran changed. I felt that she should not deceive others, I used to trust her so much.
So, I decided to ask Ran Ran again for the remaining 500 yuan. However, she always refused to return it for various reasons.
Winter is coming again this year, I didn't expect Ran Ran to actually mention that incident, she actually planned to use twenty catties of vermicelli to offset the remaining five hundred yuan.
Therefore, I did not hesitate to reject her offer. I decided not to accept her vermicelli anymore and insisted that she return the money owed. I'm going to rush her regularly until she pays off the five hundred dollars. As for vermicelli, I'd rather buy it myself.
When the arrears were paid off, I decided to distance myself from Ran Ran. I don't think she deserves to be a deep friend, because I firmly believe that people should be sincere with each other. Treat people sincerely, and you will be sincerely rewarded. If you are sincere to me, I will definitely repay it a hundredfold.
