Chengdu girl: Once autumn passes, the grass and trees wither, so the mountain wind is called mist

The street is facing towards the evening, and the twilight is everywhere. The green mountains in the distance are like black daisy, and the light pink haze is like gauze floating on them, like a beauty sleeping, covered with a veil. If I hadn't happened to go out for a walk and happened to look up at the sky, I wouldn't have been able to see such a beautiful scenery.

When I was working in Nan Fusen, it was dark almost every day after get off work. It was rare to see the sunset even from the first floor of the shopping mall. Some people, things and scenery must be met by time and chance.

It is also true that it is rare for a Chengdu girl like Tang Lan to appear in your life.

It wasn’t until Lan left Chengdu, and it wasn’t until I left Chengdu, that I started writing her story. She is the kind of person that when you first look at her, you will feel that there are many stories behind this girl, and you can't help but want to hear all the ups and downs of her life. I have always been curious about what qualities in this girl attract me?

My first impression was that on the first day of work, she, her master, and I went to Suning for lunch. I still couldn’t figure out the situation at the time, so I just listened to their conversation stupidly. I just felt that the pickled fish vermicelli tasted that day. , well, not bad. At first impression, I felt that the other party was a very straightforward girl, with clear lines of love and hate, and very clear expressions of emotions. But after a little contact with her, I felt more and more that she was a treasured girl with rich experiences.

When I first learned to receive customers, I would observe the way and feelings of each senior when talking about customers, and found a particularly interesting phenomenon. The customers that each person receives tend to have a fixed type. For example, some are good at handling families and couples; some are suitable for young people who have just stepped out of society; some deal with clients with relatively high cultural and class qualities; some are all-rounders, regardless of gender, age or class. Most of Lan's customers are male customers. I have seen her handling two male customers at the same time. Her acting style is direct and brave, and she has the demeanor of a big sister. When negotiating orders, she always makes a series of orders.

I went to the construction site with her to measure the dimensions. I was like the "little beanbag" she brought out to see the world. She never looked down upon anyone who supported herself with her own hands. She was very polite to the cleaning aunt and the security guard. She could chat with the uncle and his wife who were laying bricks on the construction site. Maybe I just came out of school at that time and felt that this was the case. The ability to be able to chat with people from different social strata with confidence, "worthy of the occasion" and create a battle array is truly amazing.

From the bottom of my heart, I think this girl has a very upright outlook on life and is very "vulgar". She is a down-to-earth kind of person who knows the world but is not worldly.

Lan is not thin, but she has pretty features and a particularly beautiful smile.

While holding a plywood and standing at the door, I would occasionally chat with her. The content of the chat is nothing more than what kind of situation the customer is in, how to deal with it, or which cosmetics are easy to use; occasionally, some of his own stories will be elicited.

I smiled and said to her, I will give you an interview. If you could describe yourself in three words, what three would you use?

What she blurted out was: "fat" and "a common person"~

I looked at her in surprise and said, is there anything else?

She said: "Boring", I don't have any hobbies.

In my previous experience, when asked this question, most people would talk about their good points, and even their bad points would be expressed tactfully. When I heard her answer, I didn't feel bad because she exposed her so-called "flaws". On the contrary, I was surprised that she was so open and casual, not pretending, and that she accepted her own things so well.

It's natural, don't force it." Tang Lan has this feeling that everything is fine, I have my own rhythm, I am unhurried and take things as they come.

She brings a bottle of sour yogurt and a meat floss bread to work every day, and she is not picky about food at lunch. When there are no customers, she likes to play small games on her mobile phone; she is very direct and heart-warming when speaking. , her colleagues call her "Tang Xiaodao"; she will complain that her husband loves buying shoes and playing games; she also likes to stay up late to watch TV shows.

If you observe carefully, you will feel that she is not as boring as she said. She is a very interesting girl with a very distinctive personality. Her stories can be used to write books.

After graduating from junior high school at the age of 15, Lan went to Xinjiang to attend a secondary vocational school and learn Russian. She didn’t have any relatives or friends there. After living independently, what her family gave her could never keep up with what she spent on food, so she worked to support herself, setting up a street stall selling earrings, and also worked part-time to buy clothes. The times when she can attend a two-person class by herself are usually from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The latest night I got home from work at 2 o'clock. I had no money in my pocket that day, so I walked on the streets of Urumqi in single clothes. It took me two hours to get home. I slept for less than two hours and started working again. I was so busy. Time feels hard.

When she went to the construction site that time, she talked about the salary with the uncle who was laying bricks. She said that the uncle could earn five to six hundred a day, and she would go to the construction site to lay bricks whenever she was not doing sales. I thought she was joking, but later she told me that she had been selling vegetables and dried fruits at the vegetable market for three months. Only then did I realize that the other person's words were not just a joke.

At the age of 17, before graduating from a secondary vocational school, I worked as a shopping guide in a cosmetics store in Xinjiang. I don’t know how long it took to grow from a shy girl who couldn’t speak a word to a principled and neat manager. What a challenge it has been. When I have enough work in the middle, I go out to play, and when I am done playing, I come back to work. I independently bought a house in Urumqi and raised a big dog. I used to be with a boy with bipolar disorder and had fights. Later, I secretly left him and had a flash marriage with my current husband. I never met each other’s parents and never paid him back. Hold a wedding and wait for a while to return to Xinjiang with my husband to take wedding photos.

Looking at her reminded me of Lily in "Chengdu Girl", who traveled to France alone and grew from a docent at the Sands Museum to the China Marketing Director of the Bordeaux Real Estate and Winery Department of the International Real Estate Department of Christie's Auction House; After being seriously injured in love and almost committing suicide, she found the love of her life, Jiujiu, and became the lady of the castle...

"No matter how red the light is along the way, no one can block my way, looking at the myriad things happening. They all go straight, I don’t have gentleness, I only have this bit of bravery.”

Lan’s life is all about hard work. The word “fear” has never been in her dictionary, and she is very calm about the difficulties of life. He also has a good temper in doing things, never wronging himself, and never complains or regrets about the choices he makes.

Life is a happy penance, but everyone has the opportunity to achieve phoenix nirvana.
