Chapter 7 Future Plans
Brother Zhang and the third sister don't care much about business, they just punch in a card when they go to the restaurant every day.
The third sister is beautiful, stylishly dressed, and has big waves that are very provocative.She comes five days a week, and stays at home with the children on Saturdays and Sundays.Brother Zhang sometimes does not come on Saturdays and Sundays, and plays mahjong with his friends at home.
The third sister's husband disapproved of her partnering with brother Zhang to open a restaurant, but he couldn't control the third sister.Everyone can see the strong relationship between the third sister and brother Zhang. This matter will be regarded as gossip in the countryside, but it will not be taken seriously in the city.They are the bosses, we can't say anything, as long as the capital is paid on time.
There are more than 20 small restaurants on Beisi Road, and all of them have good business, but the stretched noodle restaurant and the bacon flatbread are not good, which is directly related to the lack of enthusiasm of the owners of these two shops.
The two bosses of the stretched noodle restaurant don’t rely on the restaurant to make money. The bacon pancake boss, Sister Li, really doesn’t care.I don't know how much mahjong she plays and can win so much.I feel that I am content with earning eight yuan a day, which may be a pack of cigarettes in their eyes.
All the restaurant workers on the street are envious of me, Sister Wang, and Yingzi, because we are not tired, we can still pay normally, and the boss is okay, there is nothing like this or that.It is good to meet such restaurants and bosses when working part-time. Some bosses are mean, not only speak badly, but also deduct wages for various reasons, or even refuse to pay wages. This is also a common occurrence.
After six o'clock in the evening, if there are no guests, Brother Zhang will start to make a meal, stir-fry two dishes, tear up two chicken racks, or send me to someone else's house to buy two dishes and come back.Brother Zhang and the third sister began to drink some wine, and the noodles master and I each had a bowl of noodles. After eating the noodles, the master came home, and I sat and read novels to pass the time.
The third sister thought it was boring for me to read novels by myself, so she asked me to go over and have a drink with them, but I couldn't stand the little tricks they made when drinking, the kind of sloppy attitude that would always stimulate a 21-year-old boy. Nervous, very uncomfortable.
"Tan Zi, do you have a daughter-in-law at home?" Third Sister asked.
"No." I replied.
"In the countryside, 21 should be called daughter-in-law, why don't you say it?" She continued to ask.
"The family is poor, and no one will give it to me." I said.
The third sister didn't ask any more questions, but Brother Zhang said, "Save up some money and go home and talk about your daughter-in-law."
I said, "I think so too."
"I think Xiaoyingzi is very good, and she looks pretty. You two are very good at each other." The third sister said.
"No, she is too young to be suitable." I said directly.
"She's young, nineteen, you're 21, isn't it just right?" The third sister laughed, and looked at me with charming eyes, "Why, do you like older ones? Do you like the third sister?"
Avoiding her eyes, a little blushing and heart beating.A young man who just came out of the countryside can't stand the jokes of a mature and beautiful woman like the third sister, after all, he has never experienced anything.
Brother Zhang rescued me, and said to the third sister: "You're just flirting with Xiao Tan, he's still a young man."
They don't drink much, and a glass of white wine can last an hour. I can't afford to compensate them, just drink a glass and finish.The third sister tricked me to have another drink to accompany them. Sometimes I would drink another drink, and sometimes I would stop drinking.
The second sister of the third sister often comes to the restaurant. She is as beautiful as the third sister, tall, with short hair, and dresses more fashionable than the third sister.Divorced, also suspended without pay, and partnered with a classmate to start a business. I don’t know what kind of business they do, but they should be very rich.I always take a taxi, and the third sister and brother Zhang use bicycles as their means of transportation.
The second sister came to see me for the first time and said that I was a fugitive, and the third sister laughed, saying that she thought I was a fugitive when she first saw me.Give zero points to the vision and judgment of the two sisters-it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance.
The second sister brought new clothes for the third sister every time she came, and the two sisters sat together, muttering and laughing from time to time.Seeing the intimacy of the two sisters, I can't help but think of my sisters. The same is true for my sisters at home. Once they return to their mother's house, they will sit on the kang and chat endlessly, laughing from time to time.
I have been out for two months, and I feel homesick and miss my mother.I don't know if my mother has wrapped up the land?I don't know what's going on at home.After coming to the noodle shop, I wrote a letter to my family, saying that I am fine and don't worry about it.When I went to the post office to post the letter, I sent back 800 yuan, which was enough for my mother to spend half a year.In the letter, I said that I don’t need to reply, because I don’t know if I can be the manager of the noodle restaurant, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to receive the letter after I don’t work here.
It's not that I don't want to work in a noodle shop, but that I don't want to work in a noodle shop for a long time.Zhang Ge and San Jie don't open restaurants for the purpose of making money, and they will die one day.This is a feeling that I have always had in my heart.
The second sister came over this afternoon, she seemed to have cried, very sad.When she chatted with the third sister, I sat far away, not wanting to hear their affairs.But no matter how far away it can be, the house is not big, and you can hear it even if you speak softly.
The second sister said that the male classmate she partnered with was dating another woman. She was very angry and asked the male classmate to argue. don't know.
In fact, the second sister is not old, she is only 37 or 20, and I think she is more beautiful, mature, and charming than girls in her [-]s.
People in the city don't understand and can't get used to life.The third sister obviously has a family, a husband and children, and she is still in love with Brother Zhang. The two are more loving than husband and wife.Although the second sister is divorced, she also has two men, and she feels that she is doing well.To be honest, if you are beautiful, no man will like you if you are not beautiful, and no man will be willing to spend money. You have to stay at home honestly and watch over your husband and children.
The two sisters chatted for an hour, and the third sister persuaded the second sister for a long time, and then the second sister left.
The second sister had just left the house, and sister Wang came over and said she wanted to borrow some coriander, so she went to the kitchen and brought it to her.
Brother Zhang asked, "Tanzi, is she Xiaoyingzi's sister-in-law?"
"Well, not married, Yingzi's brother is studying and preparing for the exam." I said.
"Can I still have her after I get into school?" Third Sister said.
"Not necessarily, what if the relationship between the two is good." Brother Zhang said.
"Look at it, Yingzi's brother won't take her when he is admitted to university. She is a college student and she bakes big cakes. They are not at the same level. They can't even chat together." The third sister said very Reality.
"It's also possible." Brother Zhang nodded.
I don't know if it will be like what the third sister said, but this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Once Yingzi's brother is admitted to university and enters the ivory hall that young people dream of, no one knows what will happen to the four years of university life. , What is certain is that the people I come into contact with are no longer working girls like Sister Wang, but the proud son of heaven like him.
I hope this kind of thing will not happen in my heart, because Sister Wang is indeed a very good person, kind, hardworking, capable, hardworking, and virtuous.When it comes to daughter-in-law, it is right to say that Sister Wang is like this, and she is a good housekeeper.
Yingzi has always wanted to go out and do it by herself, and it has become stronger and stronger as she gets familiar with the work and adapts to the environment.She hopes that no one will control her, have her own space, and do whatever she wants.This is the purpose of coming out of home. After coming to the provincial capital, she saw the noise and prosperity of this city, which made her feel restless deep in her bones. She felt that this was the life she wanted, although she hadn’t yet. What plans and purposes, but that restless heart has already become active, wanting to break free from the shackles, out of Sister Wang's sight, and go out to breathe freely.
She didn't want to be a waiter, nor did she want to work in the service industry, so when Sister Wang wanted to teach her how to make bacon flatbreads, she flatly refused to learn.But she also knows that now she can only work as a waiter in a restaurant, and she can't do anything else. She needs to have a place to work, a place to eat and live, and earn money.I have to think about the next step while working, and talk about it after I stabilize.
Now that I know what part-time work is all about, I can go out and do it by myself.
But the responsible Sister Wang couldn't ask her to go out alone.When Yingzi came out at home, Yingzi's parents told Sister Wang not to do it alone, but to be by her side, never to associate with men, and not to date.If you really don't listen, call her back.
Sister Wang works long hours, so she knows what's going on outside.What a mess, she dare not ask Yingzi to go out alone, especially Yingzi is still very beautiful and attractive.What if you go to an unfamiliar place and get scammed?I can't afford this responsibility.
But Yingzi kept making troubles, and Sister Wang had no choice but to call her home, and Yingzi's father said to tell her to come back.
Yingzi knew that the reason why Sister Wang didn't ask her to go out alone was because she was afraid that something would happen to her and she couldn't explain to her family.She decided to go home and make it clear with her parents before she came out, so that she would not embarrass Sister Wang, so she returned to her hometown.
Sister Wang said that Yingzi's family conditions are very good. His father is a teacher in a rural middle school and his mother is an accountant.My brother failed the college entrance examination in the first year, and this year he will continue to study for the entrance examination, and he will soon take the college entrance examination.
Sister Wang said very desolately that she would not marry a working girl after she was admitted to university, but the relationship between the two families has always been good, and she just didn't tell her.
He said to Sister Wang: "Sister, you promise to be a good wife, and a good wife and mother. Whoever marries you will enjoy happiness."
"I'm a burdened person. I can work, but I can't speak or do things." Sister Wang said.
"It's fine to work. It's said that the daughter-in-law is not just a flower for living."
"Have you heard that there are a few college students who marry working girls? They are not good enough for them."
What she said was true, and I asked, "Then what did his family say?"
"Our two families didn't say anything, and no one mentioned it. Her brother didn't look for me during the Chinese New Year, and he looks for me every New Year."
I asked, "Do you like him?"
Sister Wang thought for a while and said, "I can't say, I liked it before, but I don't know now."
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Asking Sister Wang is actually asking myself, and I am also very confused about the future.Working in a stretched noodle restaurant is not tiring, and it is quite leisurely with food and shelter, but the money is too little.
Sister Wang makes bacon pancakes, which belongs to the master level, and the price is four hundred and five a month.Chefs in small restaurants usually pay five hundred, better ones six hundred, and even better ones one thousand, but I've heard of it but never seen it.
If I want to be a chef, I can earn 600 yuan a month, but the stretched noodle shop is nothing but chicken racks, and there is no cooking, so I can't learn.Knowing that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, tell yourself not to rush and take your time. Now that you have worked in a restaurant, you should get familiar with it first. If you have the opportunity to work in a restaurant that has stir-fry, you can gradually learn how to cook and become a chef.
Sister Wang said that she was going to work for a few more years to save some money for herself, and then find a suitable man to marry and have a baby.
Her thinking is the same as that of many working girls, simple and practical.
"Little brother, what are you going to do?" she asked me.
"I want to learn to cook." I said.
"There are a lot of people who want to learn how to be a chef. They all want to learn how to make a lot of money." She looked at me and said, "It's not easy to learn how to be a chef. You need someone to guide you first. If no one guides you, you can't even enter the kitchen. You have Do you know the chef? Fellow villager, classmate, your relatives?" she asked.
"No, none of them. Some of my classmates also came out to work, but I don't know where they are, and I don't know any chefs. This is the first time I have come out. I worked as a stevedore before I came here."
She smiled and said, "Why don't you learn how to make bacon flatbread with me, I'll teach you for free."
I smiled and said, "I still want to learn how to cook and become a chef. I don't have the opportunity now, and I will in the future."
"I will work in a bigger restaurant in the future. If there is no odd job in the kitchen, I will call you there. Then you can learn." She said.
Her words warmed my heart. It is good to meet such a sister when I am working outside. It warms my heart and I am no longer lonely.
I want to learn to cook, because chefs make a lot of money and I need money.
There is only one purpose of going out to work - to make money.
I don't want to be poor like that, and I don't want my mother to live in a small earthen house all her life.When I came out, I thought about it. I earned money to tear down the old house and rebuild it. I built four beautiful and enviable bungalows, so that my mother could wander around the camp in a glamorous manner.
Chapter 8
In April, it is already the breath of spring. The poplar trees on both sides of the street are beginning to turn green, and the khaki-yellow buds on the tips of the branches are showing a delightful green color tenaciously. Maybe there will be a tender little leaf tomorrow morning. Stretch out and tell people that spring is here.
The sun is shining warmly on their bodies. People take off the thick cotton coats they have worn all winter, and only wear a thin sweater inside and a single coat outside to welcome the coming of spring.In order to show off her beauty and enchanting figure, the impatient girl didn't even put on a coat, but just wore a thin sweater or a body shirt, so that her youthful vitality could be displayed to her heart's content.
The entire provincial capital was in motion, glowing with the turmoil that had suppressed the entire long winter in the early spring.
From nine o'clock on Beisi Road, every restaurant opens its doors and gets busy for the upcoming business.
The beer delivery man came in from the intersection riding a donkey backwards, yelling loudly.A man in his 30s delivered beer every day, but today a guy in his 20s came over, and he was instantly recognizable—high school classmate Li Yufei.
This is the first hometown person I met when I came out to work, and I am still a classmate, so I am very excited and kind.
"Isn't this Li Yufei, are you giving me beer?" I asked happily.
"Oh, Tan Guohua—" He saw me very excited, with a surprised expression on his face.
"When did you come?" I asked.
"It's been a year, how about you?"
"I just came this year." I asked him, "Don't you work in a power plant? Why are you still here?"
"The power plant is out of work. I am a temporary worker and have already left."
"Why haven't I seen you delivering beer before?"
"The elder brother who sent you to this street has something to go home. I will take him to the street for two days. I have been sending it to the street in front of me." He said.
"How about it? Do you make money by delivering beer?"
"It's okay, 300 yuan a month, food and housing." He said.
"Okay, better than me, I am two hundred and four."
"How nice of you, if the wind doesn't blow and the rain won't catch you, I can't, I have to send it when it's windy or rainy."
We chatted for a few more words, he still had to deliver beer, so we couldn't delay, so I told him to come over when we had time, drink and chat together, and he readily agreed.After unloading two boxes of beer, watching him yell while pushing the donkey upside down, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional.I remembered that when I was in school, I was still an immature teenager, but now I have become a young man, and I have started to work hard to make a living.
I am very happy to see my old classmates, and I work hard.
In the afternoon, the second sister came, but Brother Zhang was not there. She and the third sister were chatting together, talking about what happened last time.There were no guests in the room, so I went out to smoke while the noodle maker was kneading noodles in the kitchen.
Sister Wang was also standing outside and saw me coming.
"You don't have any other clothes, why do you always wear this one?" she asked.
I looked at the blue top I was wearing. When I came out, I brought two pieces of clothing, and a grass green top, which was newer than this one, so I didn't want to wear it.
"One more thing." I said.
"Change, take this off tonight and wash it for you."
"Thank you ma'am."
"It's hot, you buy a pair of flip-flops to wear, and cotton shoes to cover your feet."
"Okay, I'll go shopping tomorrow."
"I'll accompany you tomorrow afternoon, and you can't buy it well."
"Well, it's better to be a sister."
She smiled, pointed at my bald head and said, "Let's grow some hair too, and watch as I drive away the bandits."
"That's great, save shampoo."
"You don't have to shave every day, you save on shampoo and you spend on razor blades."
The chef at the home cooking restaurant next door came out to smoke, saw me and Sister Wang, and came over.
"When will Yingzi come back?" He asked Sister Wang.
Sister Wang hated him, and said coldly, "Whether you come back or not has something to do with you?"
He was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay, just ask."
Sister Wang turned around and ignored him, and I said to myself that the more he annoys you, the more you move forward to make do with it, and you can't tell the height of the door.
"Are you busy at home?" He asked me, looking for something to say.
"Not busy, fifteen bowls of noodles at noon." I said.
"It's still your boss who is very powerful, and he is not afraid of losing money." He said.
I said, "It's fine if you don't lose money."
A taxi stopped by the side of the road, and a tall, thin man got out of the car, in his 30s, well dressed, with a bag inside.After getting off the car, I looked around, as if I was looking for a restaurant again. After seeing the noodle restaurant, I walked straight over, opened the door and walked in.
It seems that there are guests, so I said to Sister Wang: "Someone is here to eat noodles, I will go in."
"It doesn't look like a guest." Sister Wang said.
"I haven't seen it before, unlike my third sister's friend, go in and have a look."
After I finished speaking, I opened the door and entered the room, and saw the man standing next to the third sister and the second sister, and the second sister had an angry expression on her face.Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the man turned his head and glanced at me, then turned around again. The third sister waved at me, telling me to go out first.
I pushed the door out again.Sister Wang has already gone back, and the chef next door is gone, and the waiter at the spring pancake shop is standing outside, watching me come out and smiling at me.She is from Sichuan, she is not tall, she loves to laugh, she has a chubby face when she smiles, she is very cute.
He waved to her, and she ran over.
"Are you running a hammer?" I teased her with a smile.
"You hammer—" She glared at me, then pulled off the sleeve on her arm, "I'm busy at home today, and I'm exhausted."
"Being busy is better than being idle," I said.
"It's tiring, I don't plan to do it anymore, change to another place."
"Where?"
"My cousin, the karaoke hall."
"Karaoke hall?" I was taken aback, thinking of the lady in the karaoke hall.
"Being a waiter, not a lady, no one wants a lady like me." She saw the doubt on my face and explained.
In fact, apart from being short, she looks okay, and she is also a beauty when she dresses up.But she said that going to the karaoke club felt uncomfortable, and she always felt that it was not a good place.
"You'd better not go," I said.
"It's okay." She said indifferently: "The karaoke hall earns more, and there are tips, it's easier than this."
"Then don't go there, the good people have to imitate the bad ones in that place."
"Learn a hammer and earn money. My cousin earned nearly [-] last year." She had an envious expression on her face.
A little speechless, although I don't know what her cousin is doing in the karaoke bar, it is impossible to earn [-] a year if she is a stupid waiter, so she can imagine what she will do.
I wanted to say something to her, but before I could say anything, I heard the third sister swearing loudly in the room, so I was shocked, and immediately opened the door and went in.
The scene inside is like this: the third sister pointed at the man, the second sister sat on the stool and cried, the noodle maker looked out from the kitchen door, and the man wanted to beat the second sister with a handbag.
"Try moving, I'll blow your head and fart!" The third sister shouted at the man.
"You're blowing!" The man said arrogantly, but the handbag didn't drop.
"Hurry up, get away from here, my second sister has nothing to do with you." The third sister said loudly.
The man sneered and said, "It's okay, just give me my money."
"Do you know what to do?" Third Sister said, "Who the hell took your money."
"You let her say, let her say whether she took my money or not." The man pointed at the second sister and said.
Second Miss cried softly.
"If you didn't take my money, where did my money go? If you don't admit it after taking it, you still fucking hide, can you hide from the first day of junior high school?" The man began to panic, "Sleeping with others behind my back, pure fucking bitch son."
The third sister became anxious, and shouted at the man: "You are the fucking bitch, and your whole family is a bitch."
The man wasn't used to it, he was going to beat the third sister with his handbag.
It's okay to watch them quarrel, we don't know what's going on, so we can't go forward.But it’s not okay to hit someone with your hands. The third sister is my boss, and I went into the house to watch. It would be unreasonable if he beat the third sister.
He took a few steps forward and grabbed the man's arm, and said to him: "Don't do it, talk about something."
"Can I tell you that?"
The man tugged hard, but didn't move.My one-month cement is not for nothing. I have much more strength than him, and my physique is good. I am strong and strong, not something his small physique can shake.
Besides, I'm not afraid to fight at all.People in the countryside can't live a life.My family is poor, and they are all girls. I am the only kid, and there are always people who bully me in the camp.I fought and fought since I was a child. My mother, a widow, dragged a few children to live. The family is poor, but no one can catch anyone and bully me.Even if you can't beat you, I will fight you. At worst, a life is worth a life.
Fights in the countryside are ruthless, shovels, pick handles, hammers, sticks, everything is used to the top, and it is really hard to fight.I was often beaten up, sometimes three or four brothers beat me up one by one, but that didn't convince me.Gradually I grew up, and no one troubled my family after the age of 16. Everyone knew that I would fight to my death, and no one messed with me.
"You couldn't tell me just now, but now." I said to the man, "I can't let you hit my sister."
"Fuck you, what about your sister, a stinking migrant worker is awesome, get out!" The man was impatient.
I really didn’t want to do anything, but what he said stimulated me. In the labor market, I heard those bosses say that those who work as bad workers have the urge to scold their mothers and beat others, but I hold back. After all, I didn’t say it to me.This time he was unlucky and hit the muzzle of the gun.
Going up, there are two big mouths, followed by a kick, directly kicked to the ground, and then kicked at the buttocks.His small physique couldn't stand me kicking, and he yelled after a few kicks.
You can't kick it all the time, you kicked ten feet, and said while kicking: "You dare to fucking hit my sister, you're tired of it."
This scene happened at home. When the fifth sister was bullied when she was studying, this is how she avenged the fifth sister. Later, the third and fourth sisters who got married were bullied and kicked the third and fourth brothers-in-law. I fought, when I was young, I couldn't beat others.
In fact, I regret it when I think about it. After beating my brother-in-law, my sister still has sex with others, always complaining that I kicked so hard that I was swollen.
Sometimes it's hard to be nice.
The third sister shouted, "Tan Zi, it's done."
As soon as I stopped, the man got up and ran out the door, and I chased him out.The man ran so fast that he disappeared after a while.I didn't chase hard, as long as the effect is achieved, I will teach him a lesson in beating women.
Back in the house, the second sister stopped crying, and the third sister looked at me blankly, as if looking at an alien.
"Tan Zi, you are too fierce. I didn't know what was going on, but you did it, and you got him in the blink of an eye." Third Sister said.
"What's the matter, you have to discuss and discuss the fight. Tell him, hey, I'm going to hit you, you pay attention? If you do it, you do it. Don't be a jerk. It's not good to do something when you have a jerk." I said.
"Then you are too fierce."
"Don't wait for him to hit me. Fighting is like this. Either you hit him or he hits you. Whoever is faster will take advantage."
"Do you always fight at home?"
"Don't fight, I can't afford to fight, I have no money."
To tell the truth, I fight with people at home, but I don't take the initiative to find them to fight, they only do it when they bully me.Also, you can't bully my family. Bullying my family is better than bullying me.
Of course, beating your brother-in-law doesn't count.
When my brother-in-law hits his brother-in-law, it's just a joke.
Why that man came to look for the second sister is their business, they don't know and don't want to know, and it's over if they beat him away.Seeing that the second sister was getting better, the third sister asked me to take her back, so I took a taxi to take the second sister home.The second sister is also very particular, and bought me a cigarette.
But after beating that man, he also regretted it, and thought that he would not care about this matter in the future, and if he accidentally beat him up, he really couldn't afford it.
Chapter 9
The female cook at Sister Wang's house left, and Sister Li hired a male cook.
Sister Wang felt awkward working with the male chef, but fortunately the male chef didn't live in the shop, it would be embarrassing if he lived in the shop.
The accommodation conditions in small hotels in the 90s were not good, so I lived in the store and slept on a bench.If you have a private room to sleep in a private room, it is better to sleep in a private room, and only larger hotels will have dormitories.
There has been no news since Yingzi came home. Sometimes I really think that when she was here, she would come here at least twice a day, and during the lunch break, she would come to chat for a while, complain about Miss Wang, or talk about what kind of guests she received. What did the guest say.In the evening, as soon as Brother Zhang, Sister San, and the noodle master from my side come home, and Sister Li from her side also comes home, they will come over with Sister Wang, and the three of us sit and chat together.
There are many part-time workers in the small restaurant on Beisi Road, and they all know each other. When they meet, they talk and chat. Tell me about the boss.I know the waiters and chefs of every restaurant, but the best friends are Sister Wang and Yingzi.
It's not easy to go out to discuss life. Young people leave home and are willing to gather together. The fate of working together narrows the distance between each other, and keeps each other warm together.
My appearance determines that many people avoid me when they first meet, thinking that I am not a good person.After a long time, I found out that I was a good person and took advantage of my appearance-I felt safe.Since I beat off the man who came to the store to make trouble, I became a hero among the migrant workers on the street of Beisi Road. Everyone knew that I could fight and be ruthless.
It's over with a smile to these, it's no big deal, they didn't watch how I fight at home, there are always times when I get beaten with black nose, face, head and blood.
It's ten o'clock in the evening, and I was just about to go to bed when I saw someone walking outside the store, a bit like Ms. Wang.When I opened the store door, I saw that it was true, and stopped her.
"It's already ten o'clock, why don't you go to bed? Still walking outside." I asked.
"I'll talk to you when I get inside." Sister Wang said.
He and Sister Wang entered the store.
"Today, the male chef also lived in the store, and he was a bit dishonest, so I came out." Sister Wang said.
I was taken aback and asked, "Isn't he not living in the shop?"
Sister Wang said: "Yes, today he told Sister Li that the house he rented with someone else was due, and that person stopped renting it, and neither did he. He has no place to live, and lives in a shop."
"That's no nonsense, how can a man live with a woman? It's not convenient, and besides, can that man be honest?" I got angry when I heard it.
"I lived with men in other stores, but they were all separated, and they were honest. This boy was dishonest. He was okay at first, but he came to pull me after a while, and he got angry when he got angry." Sister Wang explain.
"Sister, you're here, I'll go over and have a look." I started to walk out.
Sister Wang pulled me back and said, "You can go over and see if you can't solve the problem. If he doesn't leave, even if I'm being honest, I have to go back to sleep."
I pushed her away and said, "That won't work, go over and warn him."
When I passed by, the chef wasn't there, and I didn't see anyone. If he was there, he might have a tragedy.Seeing that the chef was not there, she called Sister Wang to come over. Sister Wang checked and locked the door of the store, and returned to the noodle restaurant with me.
After I came back, I said to Sister Wang: "There is also a man and a woman now, don't be afraid."
Sister Wang smiled and said to me: "There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm familiar with you. You're my younger brother."
"My little brother is also a man."
"You won't bully me."
A word full of trust is worth a thousand words, which makes young hearts feel grateful and accomplished while being moved.
It was already late, so I set up a stool for Sister Wang, and said to her, "Let's make do with it for the night, let's chat, and go to bed when we're tired."
I don't have any idea about Sister Wang, maybe it's a preconceived notion. She is Yingzi's sister-in-law. Although she is not married, she thinks so. Plus, she always calls her sister, and she takes care of me like a sister. I don't think of men and women at all. Things in between go up.
I have been with my sisters since I was a child, and I am more or less immune to women.Although I am 21, I have never had sex with men and women, and I don't have so many thoughts and impulses towards women. If I have tasted women, I may not be honest.
Sister Wang was lying on the stool that had been set up, and we were separated by one meter.
"I'm not afraid of you." She said, "I was a little scary when I first met you. You were bareheaded and had a fierce face, like a fugitive."
Everyone said that I was like a fugitive, but I really didn't look at myself carefully.People are like this, many things are their own, but they don't know much about them, they only know it after others say it.Such as appearance, such as personality.And it is often these things that determine a person.
I said, "Really? I really don't know."
"Yes, you look like a fugitive. You don't look like a good person, and you told Yingzi not to talk to you."
"Am I that not a good person?"
"I thought so at first, but after being with you for a long time, I found that you are quite nice and honest, so I don't feel scary anymore, mainly because you look scary." She said.
"I don't feel it myself."
"Why did you shave your head?" Sister Wang asked in the dark.
I told her about the work of loading and unloading cement in the past.
"I really want to touch it," she said.
"That's not easy. You can touch it whenever you want, and there is no charge." I laughed.
She smiled too, and you could imagine her smile in the dark.
She asked me, "What kind of wife are you going to find?"
I said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about my wife yet."
"It's really hard to say what kind of wife you are looking for. You don't even feel that Yingzi is so clingy to you. If you take it easy, she always tells me that you don't like her."
"It's not that I don't feel it. Yingzi is not suitable to be a daughter-in-law. No one knows what she will be like in the future. There are not many men who can control her." I continued: "I don't care much about marrying a wife. The only requirement is a woman." , give birth to a son."
"Why give birth to a son, why not give birth to a daughter?"
I said: "My five older sisters, my parents and my mother only wanted me when they were old, in order to have a son. I have a single lineage. I have to continue the incense of my family and have to give birth to a son."
She smiled and said, "This is difficult, who can guarantee that I will have a son."
"Yes, there is no guarantee, let's take a step and see."
Now I am very simple, without much thought.What lies ahead is how to make money, and as for the relationship between children, let nature take its course.I am also very eager for a romantic partner. My young heart is full of curiosity and excitement towards the opposite sex. When I see a beautiful girl, my heart is also moved. I think it would be great if she was my wife.
21, this age is married in rural areas.Like my neighbor, our elder brother who played with us since childhood, got married at 21, and the child is now four years old.
In the camp, I was also an outstanding young man, able to talk, chat, work, and be filial to my mother.It stands to reason that it should be easy to talk about a daughter-in-law, but when I mention my family, I shake my head. It's nothing more than being too poor and in debt. No one is willing to marry the girl to me, for fear that the girl will suffer when she comes to my house.
How should I put it, I can't say it is too realistic, people live in reality, how can we not face reality?
My poverty is a reality, undisputed, and I admit it.But people will not be poor for a lifetime. I have hands, feet and a head. I am neither stupid nor pinch. I believe that I can use my hands to change poverty, make my family rich, and let my mother live a good life.
Life is like this, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
Don't bully the youth to be poor.
Western Liaoning is a well-known poverty-stricken area in the whole province. There have been nine droughts in ten years.There is not much flat land, mostly mountains.The soil layer in the mountains is thin, and the soil erosion is serious, so there is not much harvest for crops.
My mother and I have eight acres of land, and we can't harvest much in a year, and we can't make ends meet every year.There are also "triangular debts" in the countryside, and my family owed the most in the camp.Wealthy households are called "[-]-thousand households", and so is my family, but they are just "triangular debts".
Every winter, the village leader collects "land flow money" from door to door. My family can't get it out, so we have to pay it with grain, which is not enough.
The village group leader said: "Take back your land during the Chinese New Year, don't plant it."
I was so angry when the village leader said this, but my mother didn’t care too much, and said, “Take it back, just take it back.” I didn’t say anything else, and after the village leader left, I asked my mother, “What about the new year? There is no land to plant, what should I do?"
My mother said: "Why is there no land to plant? He just said, now that there is a new society, there is still something about not letting ordinary people farm land?" The mother was very calm, and then said: "He just said, what is the situation in our family? It's not that I don't know."
My family ranks first in the difficult village, and the town knows it.My father was ill when he was young, so he couldn't participate in the labor force, and couldn't work in the production team. If he didn't work, he would have no work points and no income.In addition, money is needed for medical treatment. If there is no money, I can only borrow it from the production team. If the production team does not have it, I will borrow money from the commune.
My mother told me that my father was a well-known "old patient" in the camp at that time.In addition, there are many children in the family, all of whom are girls. There are no boys, and there is no male labor force. The older sisters can't earn much work points when they work in the production team. After a year, they still owe the production team, which makes them even poorer.
When I was a child, I watched a movie "Xu Mao and His Daughters". The acting was similar to that of my family, but it was better than my family.
When my father died when I was seven, leaving behind my mother and six children, life was even more difficult.
When I left home, I didn’t have any lofty ideals—I had to mix things up, or how much money I earned, and I had to return to my hometown. There were no such rhetoric, just telling myself to earn money to support my family.
As for marrying a daughter-in-law, I didn't think too much about it, just let nature take its course.
The next day, Sister Wang's family hired a female chef and sent the male chef away.
Sister Wang sleeps safely every day.
Chapter 10 Gu Zhiyi
Yingzi came back in mid-April, and instead of going back to the bacon and pancake shop, she found a job as a waiter at Wuai Market.It's a relatively big restaurant with good conditions, and it also sells bacon flatbreads. She plans to ask Sister Wang to go there too.It happened that Sister Li didn't want to run a restaurant anymore and felt tired, so she exchanged the restaurant. Sister Wang and Yingzi went to the restaurant in Wu'ai Market together.
When they left, they left me the address and phone number of the hotel, telling me to go there when I had time.
Sister Wang and Yingzi are friends I met in a real sense after I came out to work, and I was reluctant to let them go, and they were the same.Especially Yingzi, who was reluctant to part with me, hugged me and shed tears.
"Brother, you must see me." Yingzi said while wiping away tears.
"Well, I will go when I have time." I agreed.
"If you don't work here, you must tell me, and call me when you go."
"Yeah." I nodded and felt a little uncomfortable seeing her crying, so I wiped her tears and said, "Why are you crying? How old are you? I will listen to Sister Wang and see you when I have time."
"Must look at me."
The little girl wiped away her tears, and Sister Wang came over and said, "Little brother, do your work here first, and if you need odd jobs in that place, I will come to you."
"Well, thank you ma'am."
"Thank you." Sister Wang smiled, and then said softly to Yingzi: "Don't cry, don't you want to leave here a long time ago? Look at you, you can't bear to miss you, brother Tan, you can stay here, and don't let you Take it in your pocket."
One sentence amused Yingzi.
Sending Yingzi and Sister Wang away is empty, but there is no way to do it. Sister Li's family quit, and Sister Wang has to find a new job. It happens that Yingzi needs to make bacon pancakes. She goes to be with Yingzi. Still a good thing.Meeting is fate, and separation is also fate. As long as the green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever, we will meet each other by fate.
I continued to work in the noodle shop, and my life was not rushed, thinking about learning to be a chef all day long.
How can I learn to cook?First of all, I have to find a restaurant that has stir-fried dishes. When I go there, I will do odd jobs first, do odd jobs for others, and learn while doing it.Sister Wang said that it is best to be accompanied by someone who is learning to be a chef, but now there is no one to take care of her, and she does not know anyone, so it is a bit difficult to handle.
Besides, Brother Zhang and Third Sister are very kind to me, so I am too embarrassed to leave.
These days, it was not Li Yufei who delivered the beer, but the old elder brother. When I asked him if Li Yufei was still there, the elder brother said he was still there.Tell the elder brother to ask Li Yufei to come over for a drink when he has time.
After finally meeting a classmate, I don't want to leave like Sister Yingzi.After waiting for two days, Li Yufei did not come. On the third day, I asked the elder brother who delivered the beer. The elder brother said that Li Yufei quit his job after paying his salary and left without saying where he was going.I asked why you did a good job and left?The eldest brother said he didn't know, maybe he thought he was making too little money.My 300 yuan is not too little, but his [-] yuan is too little.Hey, I was quite angry, so I just quit, and I didn't say to see my old classmates, so I just left without a trace, and it will be difficult to meet again.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it will be May Day soon.
This day the second sister came, and with her was a young man who was 24 or [-], with a black face, very upright, and a simple and honest look.
The young man is the cousin of the third sister's hometown, named Gu Zhiyi, who has just become a monk.I have been working in a restaurant in the provincial capital for a long time. I went home for a blind date a year ago, and I was not in a hurry to come back after the New Year. I only came out after finishing the engagement party at home.
"Zhiyi, did your father let you come out from home this time?" Third Sister asked.
"Rang, can you come out if you don't allow it?" Gu Zhiyi said with a smile.
"Didn't bring the object out?"
"No, don't come out with me."
"I heard that her family is very good. His father is the village chief?"
"Well, it's the village head." Gu Zhiyi smiled honestly.
"Are you planning to work in a restaurant this time?" Third Sister asked.
"Well, I'm still working in a restaurant, and I'm going to find a bigger restaurant, so I can learn from it."
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, I wondered if Gu Zhiyi could take me with me?Can't help getting eager, wanting to chat with him, and tell him what I mean by the way.
But Gu Zhiyi chatted with the third sister for a while and was about to leave, saying that he was going to visit the restaurant he worked in before. He got along well with the chef there before, and now he came back to say hello.When he was leaving, the third sister told him to go home at night, but he said no, he was not used to it, so he went back to live in the noodle shop, and smiled and told me to keep the door open for him.
Of course I would, and I was looking for a chance to chat with him.
After get off work at night, I sat in the store and waited for Gu Zhiyi.First, the chef next door came and sat for a while, asking me about Yingzi, and told him that Yingzi was working at the Wuai Market.He said with some regret that Yingzi is so beautiful, he must have a partner, otherwise he would definitely pursue Yingzi.I looked at him and said, let’s be content, don’t eat what’s in the bowl and look at what’s in the pot, be careful not to eat what’s in the pot, and what’s in the bowl to run away.
He asked: "It seems that you and her are doing well, didn't you take her down?"
When he asked this sentence, coupled with his wretched expression, I was very angry. I guess he was thinking about dirty things in his heart at this time.
"Don't just look for something to talk about, you'll take it if you make me anxious." Don't be polite to this kind of person.
He touched his face in embarrassment, just as his boss called him, and took advantage of this light to go back.
Gu Zhiyi came back around nine o'clock.
He came back from drinking with his friends, his face flushed. When I asked him about the chef and cooking, I didn't expect him to be very talkative, and he started chatting with me.
He said that there are eight major cuisines in China, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.Each cuisine has its own taste characteristics and kung fu practices.Sichuan and Hunan are known for their spiciness, Cantonese cuisine is high-end, Jiangsu cuisine is light, Fujian and Zhejiang are native, Anhui cuisine is fisherman's mountain, and Shandong cuisine is a blend of five flavors.I didn't quite understand what he said, but it undoubtedly increased my confidence as a chef.
He said: "Chefs all start from odd jobs and students. They are students first, and then they learn to do odd jobs, that is, doing odd jobs, picking vegetables, killing fish, and cleaning seafood. The dishes are ready. Wait until the side dishes are almost dry, and establish a good relationship with the master. Under normal circumstances, you will be apprenticed to the master. Then the master will take the oil and water on the stove and fry some simple Maocai. This is called sticking. Stove. After that, it depends on your own understanding, good ones can become chefs, and bad ones will be like that."
I asked him, "What level are you at now?"
"In a small restaurant you can cook, but in a big restaurant it's a side dish. I'm going to find a bigger restaurant to have side dishes. I'll practice hard and try to find a master who will take care of me well, and then I'll go out to cook."
I am very envious that he can go to a small restaurant to cook, and think he is very good.
I said, "I also want to learn how to cook."
"It's ok, when I find a good restaurant, if I'm short of odd jobs, I'll call you there, and then work hard, and it's up to you whether you learn or not."
I am happy to say thank you directly.
Then we talked a lot, we are both young people, it is easy to find common topics.He is affordable and warm-hearted, making me feel like a brother in the family.
In the next few days, he went out to look for work during the day and came back to live at night.The first two days were not very smooth, and all the people looking for him were small restaurants, but they didn't go.I am very anxious for him, because I also hope that he will find a good job.
On the third night, he came back early and asked me, "Tanzi, do you know how to drink?"
"I can drink."
"Let's have a drink."
He fried two dishes and we drank together.
"My family's conditions are good, I can't study, I don't want to go to school after finishing junior high school, and I learn to be a bricklayer with my dad at home. The bricklayer is tired and I don't want to do it. I told my dad to come out to work. My dad didn't agree, so I ran out by myself. Yes." After finishing speaking, he smiled and continued: "I worked outside for a few years and didn't make much money, so I didn't want to go back. I met a waiter and stayed with me for a year. Later, I stopped with the chef. .”
"Cooks earn more money." I said.
He smiled and took a sip of his wine, apparently not wanting to mention it.
I asked, "Isn't your date pretty good now?"
He sighed and said: "Hey, you don't know, I didn't plan to go home for a blind date. The first person I met ran away with the chef. I just wanted to wait until I became a chef and then find a good one. But I'm 24, I don't know Worry, my family can’t do it, my parents forced me to go home for a blind date, and if I don’t go on a blind date, I won’t be allowed to come out. You know what’s going on in the countryside, if you don’t find someone after 24, it’s hard to find someone.”
I said, "You should be married."
"Work outside for another year and go back to get married at the end of the year. It's not certain if you can't get out after getting married." He said.
"Come out with your wife after you get married."
"Look, it's probably enough, my family can't let it go."
"Then you, the chef, didn't learn in vain?"
"It's not in vain. If you can't open a restaurant in the town at home, it's okay for us. It's not difficult. Some people eat. Even if you don't open a restaurant, you can cook for weddings and weddings at home." He said.
I thought what he said was right, it was a good way to speculate on big banquets at home, and it was a way to take care of the family and make money.I can do it, but I have to learn how to be a chef first. If I can't learn how to be a chef, it's useless.
"Tanzi, I see that you really want to learn how to be a chef. You can't learn how to be a chef here. There is no cooking here. Besides, Sanjie and Brother Zhang don't run a restaurant. They are just talking nonsense here. I am a cousin. I can't say, I really don't like their style, the third sister's husband, my sister's wife is very good, I don't know what's going on, it's okay if I know."
Obviously, he couldn't bear Brother Zhang and Third Sister's behavior.
"I guess your brother-in-law knows." I said.
"If you know it, you know it. I can't control it." He shook his head: "I went to my aunt's house the day before yesterday, and my aunt still talked about this matter. She can't control it. My second sister is enough for her to worry about."
"The elders can't handle this matter, and the city people don't take it seriously."
"Actually, my family is also in the provincial capital. My father and his sister, my father and my aunt, my family is a devolved household. When we return to the city, we have a quota for each family. My dad is also a boy. It will be easier in the countryside. Give me the quota. Aunt."
"Oh, then your aunt will treat you well." I said.
He picked up the wine glass and touched it with me, took a sip and said, "My aunt treats me well, and my second sister and third sister treat me well, but I can't understand their style, if it's in my house, my dad will be mad at me. "
I smile.
"I heard from the second sister that you helped her beat up a man in the past two days?" he asked.
I said, "Just in time."
He gave me a thumbs up: "Admiration! It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with you, you can leave it alone, and it can help prove that you are a worthy person."
"It's okay, the third sister is nice to me." I admitted.
"Look, this noodle shop won't last long, and it won't make any money. The two of you are talking nonsense every day. Sooner or later, you'll get dirty."
"Hurry up and find a job, I'll follow you if you lose your job."
"Don't worry, Tan Zi, if you don't come here and tell me, I promise to find you a job."
His guarantee is convincing, and it can be seen that he is not a fool, such a friend is worth making.
After two days, he found a more ideal hotel - Bolin Hotel, which is a subordinate unit of the Forestry Bureau and is quite famous in the provincial capital.
When he left, he gave me the phone number of the hotel and told me to call me there if there was no odd job there.
Chapter 11 Laid Off Again
"Li's Bacon Pancake Shop" is a four-year-old shop in Wu'ai Market. Its business has been booming. It mainly deals in Sichuan cuisine and bacon pancakes. Sister Wang and Yingzi work here.
Yingzi is beautiful, cheerful, and loves to talk and laugh. The front desk staff like her very much.Not only the ones at the front desk like it, but even the ones in the kitchen like it. The water table for the side dishes is always chatting with her, but she doesn't like it, saying that they are short and not as tall as her.
There are four waiters at the front desk, and Yingzi is the youngest, and everyone calls her little girl.There are five people in the kitchen, one chef, one water table, one cold dish, one odd job, plus Sister Wang.
There is no need to use a stool to sleep here every night. There are dormitories on the second floor of the hotel, one room for men and one room for women. The conditions are considered good.Yingzi and Sister Wang have a set of beds, bunk beds, and Yingzi is on top.Sometimes if I don't like to go up, I will squeeze into the lower bunk with Sister Wang, and let Sister Wang hug me to sleep like a kitten.
"Sister, what do you think Brother Tan is doing now?" Yingzi and Sister Wang huddled together on the bed and asked Sister Wang in a low voice.
"What can I do? Go to sleep." Sister Wang said.
"Do you miss him?"
"No, what do you want him for?" Sister Wang said, a boy's face appeared in front of her eyes, with a big bald head.
"Hehe, I think." Yingzi said.
"Don't be ashamed."
"Why are you ashamed? I just thought, how nice he is, I would like to be with him." Yingzi said directly.
"Then you should be his daughter-in-law. He just doesn't have a date."
Yingzi blushed.She likes Brother Tan, but she doesn't want to be his wife, she just likes him. The 19-year-old girl already knows what liking and love are. Although the boundary is still a little fuzzy, it is still clear in her heart.It's just that this kind of liking also stirs the girl's heart more or less, and she can't help but think of him, Brother Tan. Whenever she thinks of it, there will be a clear face, a bald head, and a face like a bandit. And always serious expression.
She was thinking, if Brother Tan was more handsome, she might fall in love with him.I thought about it and laughed.
"Why are you smirking? Go to bed quickly." Sister Wang gave Yingzi a push. She was a little tired and began to close her eyes.
Yingzi mischievously grabbed Sister Wang's chest, and said with a smile, "I just know how to sleep."
Sister Wang opened her eyes and hit her, then said harshly: "Be honest, if you don't be honest, go to sleep, I don't bother to hug you." After speaking, she turned over and closed her eyes again.
Yingzi saw that Sister Wang turned away, and calmed down, leaning against Sister Wang and closing her eyes, thinking about the things that belong to girls only.
I have been in the noodle restaurant for two months, and I earned 480 yuan, [-] yuan was mailed home, and I kept [-] yuan for myself. In addition, the previous work as a loading and unloading job was enough, and I still have a balance.
Sister Wang and Gu Zhiyi didn't believe it. They didn't go to work for a long time. They haven't been there for a month.In particular, there are some students who want to be chefs. The students do the same work as odd jobs, and they don’t need money. Even if there is a lack of odd jobs, the boss will let the students come first.
I know that I cannot be a student because I need money.
Wipe the table clean, arrange the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, clean the floor, clean up the sanitation, then brew Brother Zhang's tea, and pour the hot water for Third Sister.I went to the kitchen and saw that there was nothing to do, so I sat down and smoked a cigarette.
"Oh, it's almost May Day, it's time for a holiday, and there's no business." The third sister sighed.
"We also have a day off on May [-]st." Brother Zhang said.
"Let's go, anyway, I won't come that day, I will take the children out to play." Third Sister said.
"Then it's settled, May Day is a holiday." Brother Zhang stared at him again.
The third sister took a sip of water, glanced at me who was sitting and smoking, and asked, "Tan Zi, what are you doing on vacation?"
I thought for a while and said, "Sleep."
"Aren't you going out to play?" Third Sister asked.
"No play, no money."
Zhang Ge said with a smile: "Tan Zi will live a life, saving money to be a daughter-in-law."
I smiled.What Brother Zhang said was right. He did save money to call his daughter-in-law, and he had already made up his mind.It is true that the family has no money. The family will have as much as I earn, and nothing if I do not earn.If you want to talk about your daughter-in-law, you can rely on yourself, if you can't, don't talk about it.
There was a loud noise coming from outside, and the voice should be Xiao Sichuan, the waiter of the spring pancake shop.
"What's wrong, is there a fight?" Third Sister asked curiously.
Brother Zhang took a sip of tea and was also very curious, but as the boss, he didn't want to go out to see it yet, so he said to me: "Tan Zi, go out and see if there is a fight."
Standing up and opening the door, Xiao Sichuan was arguing with her boss at the entrance of the spring pancake shop.There were a dozen or so people standing next to them, all working in the restaurant on the left and right, and the chef next door was also there, with cigarettes in their mouths and shoulders in their arms, watching the excitement with great interest.Seeing me come out, a pair of small eyes behind the eyes are narrowed, half a smile is not a smile.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Little Sichuan is leaving. The boss has just found a waiter from the labor market. It may be 50 yuan short of Xiao Sichuan. This is not there."
Xiao Sichuan was going to her cousin's place, and she had already told her boss, and the boss agreed, but he didn't hire a waiter to replace her.Little Sichuan is capable, one is worth two, and the boss doesn't want to let her go.But there is no way, people don’t want to work for you, earn less, and give you time to find someone, if you find someone, you have to let them go.
The owner of the spring pancake shop is in his 30s, thin and dry, very shrewd, very picky, and he goes out of his way to see money, and he doesn't recognize people.Everyone in this street knows what he is like. If there is a lot of food left over from the guests, they will save it and give it to the employees.So his family can't keep people, the cooks are always changing, and the cake makers are always changing. Xiao Sichuan is the longest in his family.
Take two steps forward.
"Ask me for money? Did you know that you broke three plates?" The owner of the spring cake shop said anxiously to Xiao Sichuan.
Little Sichuan is also very aggressive. He pointed at the boss and said sharply, "Is your plate gold? Three fifty? Besides, when did I order it? Do you know if you said that plate can't be used anymore?"
"Did I tell you to hit it when I said it couldn't be used?" The boss seemed to grasp the reason, and straightened his back.No matter how straight it is, it can't reach 1.7 meters.
The two stood there awkwardly, one asked for money and the other refused to give it, everyone who watched the excitement knew what was going on.The migrant workers were very angry, but because they were migrant workers, they could only watch angrily, and no one stepped forward to speak up for Xiao Sichuan.The owner of the restaurant next door and the owner of the Chaos restaurant are also there. Although they don't like the owner of the spring pancake shop, they are both bosses, so it's hard to say anything.
The owner of the spring pancake shop said something ugly, and everyone felt their ears pop when they heard it. The owner of the chaotic shop couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Zhang, you are not short of the 50 yuan, give it to her, don't worry about it." Yes, these people are watching."
"Give it to her?" The owner of the spring pancake shop kept saying, "If you give it to a beggar, you won't give it to her!"
What he said hurt people and was very insulting.
I guess my face was ugly, so I walked up to him and said to him, "You must give her the 50 yuan today."
He looked at me disdainfully, and then said something very normal: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I just can't see it. Today you give her 50 yuan to finish the job. If you don't give it to her, I will waste it with you." I said.I thought to myself, don't be too strong to beat people yourself, as long as you can help Xiao Sichuan get 50 yuan out.Little Sichuan’s monthly salary is the same as mine, two hundred and four. If another fifty is deducted, it would be too wronged and bullying.
As soon as I was in my early years, and what the owner of the Chaos Pavilion said just now, several people spoke up and asked him to give 50 yuan to Xiao Sichuan.Brother Zhang also came out, stood and watched for a long time, opened his mouth and said: "It's only 50 yuan, it's not worth it, let her finish the work, and it's time to serve guests later, what's the point of making trouble."
In the end, the owner of the spring pancake shop couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion, so he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Xiao Sichuan.
People started to disperse, the boss gave me a vicious look, which meant that he already held a grudge, and indirectly hated Brother Zhang, he turned around and walked into the store, I called him to stop.
"Don't look at me with that look, let me tell you, first, if you didn't hit you today, you will pick it up, to save you face; second, don't mess with me, provoke me to kill you!" After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at him, and directly Back to the noodle shop.
But the mood is still very happy.When I was at home, my mother always said, if you are honest, you will not bully and if you are tough, you will not be afraid.And when I came out, my mother also said that it is not easy to go out, and it is a help if you can help, not necessarily when you are in trouble, someone will help you.
Seeing that it was almost May [-]st, the second sister came and told me that the male classmate hadn't been looking for her, maybe I was afraid of being beaten.The third sister told the second sister that Tan Zi is famous now, and he can be regarded as a big brother on Beisi Road.
What I want is not a big brother, that stuff doesn't make money, I just want to impatiently learn how to cook and make a lot of money.The second sister said that a friend of hers owns a hotel, and if she had time, she would ask to see if there was a shortage of odd jobs, and if so, call me over.I just wanted to thank you. The third sister said: "Okay, the hotel opened by your friend takes girls, where can I learn something? Tanzi can't go."
Indeed, do not go to hotels with young ladies.
The husband of the third sister has always opposed the partnership between the third sister and brother Zhang to open a restaurant, but he can't control the third sister, and more or less knows the iron relationship between the third sister and brother Zhang.Finally, on April NO.30, I couldn't bear it anymore. For the dignity of a man, I found four buddies to go to the restaurant to make trouble.
The third sister was very emotional, she didn't expect that her husband, who had never dared to resist her, dared to challenge her majesty openly, so she quarreled very fiercely.It is said that women are tigers, and this time I have really seen it. The third sister is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. Her husband is overwhelmed before a round is over. .
The four buddies started beating Brother Zhang, I stopped him from the middle, scolded me for pretending to be a big clove of garlic, and even scolded a few bad words, which pissed me off, so I started having sex with them.
The result is that both sides suffer, and no one is good.Haohu couldn't hold back the pack of wolves, so three of them beat me up until my nose was bruised, my face was swollen, and my mouth was bleeding.Seeing the blood, their eyes turned red, and they started desperately fighting for their lives. In the end, they were overwhelmed by my desperate tactics and kicked out of the hotel.After leaving the hotel and chasing him all the way—it made me anxious.
After the fight, I said to my third sister and brother Zhang, "You guys have to settle this matter sooner or later. It's not a big deal. The restaurant doesn't make money. It's better to settle the matter before thinking about the next step."
The third sister had disheveled hair and her eyes were dull, while Brother Zhang covered his head and remained silent.
The two of them didn't come the next day, and the whole street knew about the fight, so they were probably afraid of embarrassing themselves.It also happens to be May Day, so I have a day off.
On the third day and the fourth day, he didn't come. On the fifth day, Brother Zhang came and said that the noodle restaurant was closed, so he exchanged money out, and settled the wages of me and the noodle master.
Laid himself off.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 7 Future Plans
Brother Zhang and the third sister don't care much about business, they just punch in a card when they go to the restaurant every day.
The third sister is beautiful, stylishly dressed, and has big waves that are very provocative.She comes five days a week, and stays at home with the children on Saturdays and Sundays.Brother Zhang sometimes does not come on Saturdays and Sundays, and plays mahjong with his friends at home.
The third sister's husband disapproved of her partnering with brother Zhang to open a restaurant, but he couldn't control the third sister.Everyone can see the strong relationship between the third sister and brother Zhang. This matter will be regarded as gossip in the countryside, but it will not be taken seriously in the city.They are the bosses, we can't say anything, as long as the capital is paid on time.
There are more than 20 small restaurants on Beisi Road, and all of them have good business, but the stretched noodle restaurant and the bacon flatbread are not good, which is directly related to the lack of enthusiasm of the owners of these two shops.
The two bosses of the stretched noodle restaurant don’t rely on the restaurant to make money. The bacon pancake boss, Sister Li, really doesn’t care.I don't know how much mahjong she plays and can win so much.I feel that I am content with earning eight yuan a day, which may be a pack of cigarettes in their eyes.
All the restaurant workers on the street are envious of me, Sister Wang, and Yingzi, because we are not tired, we can still pay normally, and the boss is okay, there is nothing like this or that.It is good to meet such restaurants and bosses when working part-time. Some bosses are mean, not only speak badly, but also deduct wages for various reasons, or even refuse to pay wages. This is also a common occurrence.
After six o'clock in the evening, if there are no guests, Brother Zhang will start to make a meal, stir-fry two dishes, tear up two chicken racks, or send me to someone else's house to buy two dishes and come back.Brother Zhang and the third sister began to drink some wine, and the noodles master and I each had a bowl of noodles. After eating the noodles, the master came home, and I sat and read novels to pass the time.
The third sister thought it was boring for me to read novels by myself, so she asked me to go over and have a drink with them, but I couldn't stand the little tricks they made when drinking, the kind of sloppy attitude that would always stimulate a 21-year-old boy. Nervous, very uncomfortable.
"Tan Zi, do you have a daughter-in-law at home?" Third Sister asked.
"No." I replied.
"In the countryside, 21 should be called daughter-in-law, why don't you say it?" She continued to ask.
"The family is poor, and no one will give it to me." I said.
The third sister didn't ask any more questions, but Brother Zhang said, "Save up some money and go home and talk about your daughter-in-law."
I said, "I think so too."
"I think Xiaoyingzi is very good, and she looks pretty. You two are very good at each other." The third sister said.
"No, she is too young to be suitable." I said directly.
"She's young, nineteen, you're 21, isn't it just right?" The third sister laughed, and looked at me with charming eyes, "Why, do you like older ones? Do you like the third sister?"
Avoiding her eyes, a little blushing and heart beating.A young man who just came out of the countryside can't stand the jokes of a mature and beautiful woman like the third sister, after all, he has never experienced anything.
Brother Zhang rescued me, and said to the third sister: "You're just flirting with Xiao Tan, he's still a young man."
They don't drink much, and a glass of white wine can last an hour. I can't afford to compensate them, just drink a glass and finish.The third sister tricked me to have another drink to accompany them. Sometimes I would drink another drink, and sometimes I would stop drinking.
The second sister of the third sister often comes to the restaurant. She is as beautiful as the third sister, tall, with short hair, and dresses more fashionable than the third sister.Divorced, also suspended without pay, and partnered with a classmate to start a business. I don’t know what kind of business they do, but they should be very rich.I always take a taxi, and the third sister and brother Zhang use bicycles as their means of transportation.
The second sister came to see me for the first time and said that I was a fugitive, and the third sister laughed, saying that she thought I was a fugitive when she first saw me.Give zero points to the vision and judgment of the two sisters-it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance.
The second sister brought new clothes for the third sister every time she came, and the two sisters sat together, muttering and laughing from time to time.Seeing the intimacy of the two sisters, I can't help but think of my sisters. The same is true for my sisters at home. Once they return to their mother's house, they will sit on the kang and chat endlessly, laughing from time to time.
I have been out for two months, and I feel homesick and miss my mother.I don't know if my mother has wrapped up the land?I don't know what's going on at home.After coming to the noodle shop, I wrote a letter to my family, saying that I am fine and don't worry about it.When I went to the post office to post the letter, I sent back 800 yuan, which was enough for my mother to spend half a year.In the letter, I said that I don’t need to reply, because I don’t know if I can be the manager of the noodle restaurant, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to receive the letter after I don’t work here.
It's not that I don't want to work in a noodle shop, but that I don't want to work in a noodle shop for a long time.Zhang Ge and San Jie don't open restaurants for the purpose of making money, and they will die one day.This is a feeling that I have always had in my heart.
The second sister came over this afternoon, she seemed to have cried, very sad.When she chatted with the third sister, I sat far away, not wanting to hear their affairs.But no matter how far away it can be, the house is not big, and you can hear it even if you speak softly.
The second sister said that the male classmate she partnered with was dating another woman. She was very angry and asked the male classmate to argue. don't know.
In fact, the second sister is not old, she is only 37 or 20, and I think she is more beautiful, mature, and charming than girls in her [-]s.
People in the city don't understand and can't get used to life.The third sister obviously has a family, a husband and children, and she is still in love with Brother Zhang. The two are more loving than husband and wife.Although the second sister is divorced, she also has two men, and she feels that she is doing well.To be honest, if you are beautiful, no man will like you if you are not beautiful, and no man will be willing to spend money. You have to stay at home honestly and watch over your husband and children.
The two sisters chatted for an hour, and the third sister persuaded the second sister for a long time, and then the second sister left.
The second sister had just left the house, and sister Wang came over and said she wanted to borrow some coriander, so she went to the kitchen and brought it to her.
Brother Zhang asked, "Tanzi, is she Xiaoyingzi's sister-in-law?"
"Well, not married, Yingzi's brother is studying and preparing for the exam." I said.
"Can I still have her after I get into school?" Third Sister said.
"Not necessarily, what if the relationship between the two is good." Brother Zhang said.
"Look at it, Yingzi's brother won't take her when he is admitted to university. She is a college student and she bakes big cakes. They are not at the same level. They can't even chat together." The third sister said very Reality.
"It's also possible." Brother Zhang nodded.
I don't know if it will be like what the third sister said, but this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Once Yingzi's brother is admitted to university and enters the ivory hall that young people dream of, no one knows what will happen to the four years of university life. , What is certain is that the people I come into contact with are no longer working girls like Sister Wang, but the proud son of heaven like him.
I hope this kind of thing will not happen in my heart, because Sister Wang is indeed a very good person, kind, hardworking, capable, hardworking, and virtuous.When it comes to daughter-in-law, it is right to say that Sister Wang is like this, and she is a good housekeeper.
Yingzi has always wanted to go out and do it by herself, and it has become stronger and stronger as she gets familiar with the work and adapts to the environment.She hopes that no one will control her, have her own space, and do whatever she wants.This is the purpose of coming out of home. After coming to the provincial capital, she saw the noise and prosperity of this city, which made her feel restless deep in her bones. She felt that this was the life she wanted, although she hadn’t yet. What plans and purposes, but that restless heart has already become active, wanting to break free from the shackles, out of Sister Wang's sight, and go out to breathe freely.
She didn't want to be a waiter, nor did she want to work in the service industry, so when Sister Wang wanted to teach her how to make bacon flatbreads, she flatly refused to learn.But she also knows that now she can only work as a waiter in a restaurant, and she can't do anything else. She needs to have a place to work, a place to eat and live, and earn money.I have to think about the next step while working, and talk about it after I stabilize.
Now that I know what part-time work is all about, I can go out and do it by myself.
But the responsible Sister Wang couldn't ask her to go out alone.When Yingzi came out at home, Yingzi's parents told Sister Wang not to do it alone, but to be by her side, never to associate with men, and not to date.If you really don't listen, call her back.
Sister Wang works long hours, so she knows what's going on outside.What a mess, she dare not ask Yingzi to go out alone, especially Yingzi is still very beautiful and attractive.What if you go to an unfamiliar place and get scammed?I can't afford this responsibility.
But Yingzi kept making troubles, and Sister Wang had no choice but to call her home, and Yingzi's father said to tell her to come back.
Yingzi knew that the reason why Sister Wang didn't ask her to go out alone was because she was afraid that something would happen to her and she couldn't explain to her family.She decided to go home and make it clear with her parents before she came out, so that she would not embarrass Sister Wang, so she returned to her hometown.
Sister Wang said that Yingzi's family conditions are very good. His father is a teacher in a rural middle school and his mother is an accountant.My brother failed the college entrance examination in the first year, and this year he will continue to study for the entrance examination, and he will soon take the college entrance examination.
Sister Wang said very desolately that she would not marry a working girl after she was admitted to university, but the relationship between the two families has always been good, and she just didn't tell her.
He said to Sister Wang: "Sister, you promise to be a good wife, and a good wife and mother. Whoever marries you will enjoy happiness."
"I'm a burdened person. I can work, but I can't speak or do things." Sister Wang said.
"It's fine to work. It's said that the daughter-in-law is not just a flower for living."
"Have you heard that there are a few college students who marry working girls? They are not good enough for them."
What she said was true, and I asked, "Then what did his family say?"
"Our two families didn't say anything, and no one mentioned it. Her brother didn't look for me during the Chinese New Year, and he looks for me every New Year."
I asked, "Do you like him?"
Sister Wang thought for a while and said, "I can't say, I liked it before, but I don't know now."
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Asking Sister Wang is actually asking myself, and I am also very confused about the future.Working in a stretched noodle restaurant is not tiring, and it is quite leisurely with food and shelter, but the money is too little.
Sister Wang makes bacon pancakes, which belongs to the master level, and the price is four hundred and five a month.Chefs in small restaurants usually pay five hundred, better ones six hundred, and even better ones one thousand, but I've heard of it but never seen it.
If I want to be a chef, I can earn 600 yuan a month, but the stretched noodle shop is nothing but chicken racks, and there is no cooking, so I can't learn.Knowing that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, tell yourself not to rush and take your time. Now that you have worked in a restaurant, you should get familiar with it first. If you have the opportunity to work in a restaurant that has stir-fry, you can gradually learn how to cook and become a chef.
Sister Wang said that she was going to work for a few more years to save some money for herself, and then find a suitable man to marry and have a baby.
Her thinking is the same as that of many working girls, simple and practical.
"Little brother, what are you going to do?" she asked me.
"I want to learn to cook." I said.
"There are a lot of people who want to learn how to be a chef. They all want to learn how to make a lot of money." She looked at me and said, "It's not easy to learn how to be a chef. You need someone to guide you first. If no one guides you, you can't even enter the kitchen. You have Do you know the chef? Fellow villager, classmate, your relatives?" she asked.
"No, none of them. Some of my classmates also came out to work, but I don't know where they are, and I don't know any chefs. This is the first time I have come out. I worked as a stevedore before I came here."
She smiled and said, "Why don't you learn how to make bacon flatbread with me, I'll teach you for free."
I smiled and said, "I still want to learn how to cook and become a chef. I don't have the opportunity now, and I will in the future."
"I will work in a bigger restaurant in the future. If there is no odd job in the kitchen, I will call you there. Then you can learn." She said.
Her words warmed my heart. It is good to meet such a sister when I am working outside. It warms my heart and I am no longer lonely.
I want to learn to cook, because chefs make a lot of money and I need money.
There is only one purpose of going out to work - to make money.
I don't want to be poor like that, and I don't want my mother to live in a small earthen house all her life.When I came out, I thought about it. I earned money to tear down the old house and rebuild it. I built four beautiful and enviable bungalows, so that my mother could wander around the camp in a glamorous manner.
Chapter 8
In April, it is already the breath of spring. The poplar trees on both sides of the street are beginning to turn green, and the khaki-yellow buds on the tips of the branches are showing a delightful green color tenaciously. Maybe there will be a tender little leaf tomorrow morning. Stretch out and tell people that spring is here.
The sun is shining warmly on their bodies. People take off the thick cotton coats they have worn all winter, and only wear a thin sweater inside and a single coat outside to welcome the coming of spring.In order to show off her beauty and enchanting figure, the impatient girl didn't even put on a coat, but just wore a thin sweater or a body shirt, so that her youthful vitality could be displayed to her heart's content.
The entire provincial capital was in motion, glowing with the turmoil that had suppressed the entire long winter in the early spring.
From nine o'clock on Beisi Road, every restaurant opens its doors and gets busy for the upcoming business.
The beer delivery man came in from the intersection riding a donkey backwards, yelling loudly.A man in his 30s delivered beer every day, but today a guy in his 20s came over, and he was instantly recognizable—high school classmate Li Yufei.
This is the first hometown person I met when I came out to work, and I am still a classmate, so I am very excited and kind.
"Isn't this Li Yufei, are you giving me beer?" I asked happily.
"Oh, Tan Guohua—" He saw me very excited, with a surprised expression on his face.
"When did you come?" I asked.
"It's been a year, how about you?"
"I just came this year." I asked him, "Don't you work in a power plant? Why are you still here?"
"The power plant is out of work. I am a temporary worker and have already left."
"Why haven't I seen you delivering beer before?"
"The elder brother who sent you to this street has something to go home. I will take him to the street for two days. I have been sending it to the street in front of me." He said.
"How about it? Do you make money by delivering beer?"
"It's okay, 300 yuan a month, food and housing." He said.
"Okay, better than me, I am two hundred and four."
"How nice of you, if the wind doesn't blow and the rain won't catch you, I can't, I have to send it when it's windy or rainy."
We chatted for a few more words, he still had to deliver beer, so we couldn't delay, so I told him to come over when we had time, drink and chat together, and he readily agreed.After unloading two boxes of beer, watching him yell while pushing the donkey upside down, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional.I remembered that when I was in school, I was still an immature teenager, but now I have become a young man, and I have started to work hard to make a living.
I am very happy to see my old classmates, and I work hard.
In the afternoon, the second sister came, but Brother Zhang was not there. She and the third sister were chatting together, talking about what happened last time.There were no guests in the room, so I went out to smoke while the noodle maker was kneading noodles in the kitchen.
Sister Wang was also standing outside and saw me coming.
"You don't have any other clothes, why do you always wear this one?" she asked.
I looked at the blue top I was wearing. When I came out, I brought two pieces of clothing, and a grass green top, which was newer than this one, so I didn't want to wear it.
"One more thing." I said.
"Change, take this off tonight and wash it for you."
"Thank you ma'am."
"It's hot, you buy a pair of flip-flops to wear, and cotton shoes to cover your feet."
"Okay, I'll go shopping tomorrow."
"I'll accompany you tomorrow afternoon, and you can't buy it well."
"Well, it's better to be a sister."
She smiled, pointed at my bald head and said, "Let's grow some hair too, and watch as I drive away the bandits."
"That's great, save shampoo."
"You don't have to shave every day, you save on shampoo and you spend on razor blades."
The chef at the home cooking restaurant next door came out to smoke, saw me and Sister Wang, and came over.
"When will Yingzi come back?" He asked Sister Wang.
Sister Wang hated him, and said coldly, "Whether you come back or not has something to do with you?"
He was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay, just ask."
Sister Wang turned around and ignored him, and I said to myself that the more he annoys you, the more you move forward to make do with it, and you can't tell the height of the door.
"Are you busy at home?" He asked me, looking for something to say.
"Not busy, fifteen bowls of noodles at noon." I said.
"It's still your boss who is very powerful, and he is not afraid of losing money." He said.
I said, "It's fine if you don't lose money."
A taxi stopped by the side of the road, and a tall, thin man got out of the car, in his 30s, well dressed, with a bag inside.After getting off the car, I looked around, as if I was looking for a restaurant again. After seeing the noodle restaurant, I walked straight over, opened the door and walked in.
It seems that there are guests, so I said to Sister Wang: "Someone is here to eat noodles, I will go in."
"It doesn't look like a guest." Sister Wang said.
"I haven't seen it before, unlike my third sister's friend, go in and have a look."
After I finished speaking, I opened the door and entered the room, and saw the man standing next to the third sister and the second sister, and the second sister had an angry expression on her face.Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the man turned his head and glanced at me, then turned around again. The third sister waved at me, telling me to go out first.
I pushed the door out again.Sister Wang has already gone back, and the chef next door is gone, and the waiter at the spring pancake shop is standing outside, watching me come out and smiling at me.She is from Sichuan, she is not tall, she loves to laugh, she has a chubby face when she smiles, she is very cute.
He waved to her, and she ran over.
"Are you running a hammer?" I teased her with a smile.
"You hammer—" She glared at me, then pulled off the sleeve on her arm, "I'm busy at home today, and I'm exhausted."
"Being busy is better than being idle," I said.
"It's tiring, I don't plan to do it anymore, change to another place."
"Where?"
"My cousin, the karaoke hall."
"Karaoke hall?" I was taken aback, thinking of the lady in the karaoke hall.
"Being a waiter, not a lady, no one wants a lady like me." She saw the doubt on my face and explained.
In fact, apart from being short, she looks okay, and she is also a beauty when she dresses up.But she said that going to the karaoke club felt uncomfortable, and she always felt that it was not a good place.
"You'd better not go," I said.
"It's okay." She said indifferently: "The karaoke hall earns more, and there are tips, it's easier than this."
"Then don't go there, the good people have to imitate the bad ones in that place."
"Learn a hammer and earn money. My cousin earned nearly [-] last year." She had an envious expression on her face.
A little speechless, although I don't know what her cousin is doing in the karaoke bar, it is impossible to earn [-] a year if she is a stupid waiter, so she can imagine what she will do.
I wanted to say something to her, but before I could say anything, I heard the third sister swearing loudly in the room, so I was shocked, and immediately opened the door and went in.
The scene inside is like this: the third sister pointed at the man, the second sister sat on the stool and cried, the noodle maker looked out from the kitchen door, and the man wanted to beat the second sister with a handbag.
"Try moving, I'll blow your head and fart!" The third sister shouted at the man.
"You're blowing!" The man said arrogantly, but the handbag didn't drop.
"Hurry up, get away from here, my second sister has nothing to do with you." The third sister said loudly.
The man sneered and said, "It's okay, just give me my money."
"Do you know what to do?" Third Sister said, "Who the hell took your money."
"You let her say, let her say whether she took my money or not." The man pointed at the second sister and said.
Second Miss cried softly.
"If you didn't take my money, where did my money go? If you don't admit it after taking it, you still fucking hide, can you hide from the first day of junior high school?" The man began to panic, "Sleeping with others behind my back, pure fucking bitch son."
The third sister became anxious, and shouted at the man: "You are the fucking bitch, and your whole family is a bitch."
The man wasn't used to it, he was going to beat the third sister with his handbag.
It's okay to watch them quarrel, we don't know what's going on, so we can't go forward.But it’s not okay to hit someone with your hands. The third sister is my boss, and I went into the house to watch. It would be unreasonable if he beat the third sister.
He took a few steps forward and grabbed the man's arm, and said to him: "Don't do it, talk about something."
"Can I tell you that?"
The man tugged hard, but didn't move.My one-month cement is not for nothing. I have much more strength than him, and my physique is good. I am strong and strong, not something his small physique can shake.
Besides, I'm not afraid to fight at all.People in the countryside can't live a life.My family is poor, and they are all girls. I am the only kid, and there are always people who bully me in the camp.I fought and fought since I was a child. My mother, a widow, dragged a few children to live. The family is poor, but no one can catch anyone and bully me.Even if you can't beat you, I will fight you. At worst, a life is worth a life.
Fights in the countryside are ruthless, shovels, pick handles, hammers, sticks, everything is used to the top, and it is really hard to fight.I was often beaten up, sometimes three or four brothers beat me up one by one, but that didn't convince me.Gradually I grew up, and no one troubled my family after the age of 16. Everyone knew that I would fight to my death, and no one messed with me.
"You couldn't tell me just now, but now." I said to the man, "I can't let you hit my sister."
"Fuck you, what about your sister, a stinking migrant worker is awesome, get out!" The man was impatient.
I really didn’t want to do anything, but what he said stimulated me. In the labor market, I heard those bosses say that those who work as bad workers have the urge to scold their mothers and beat others, but I hold back. After all, I didn’t say it to me.This time he was unlucky and hit the muzzle of the gun.
Going up, there are two big mouths, followed by a kick, directly kicked to the ground, and then kicked at the buttocks.His small physique couldn't stand me kicking, and he yelled after a few kicks.
You can't kick it all the time, you kicked ten feet, and said while kicking: "You dare to fucking hit my sister, you're tired of it."
This scene happened at home. When the fifth sister was bullied when she was studying, this is how she avenged the fifth sister. Later, the third and fourth sisters who got married were bullied and kicked the third and fourth brothers-in-law. I fought, when I was young, I couldn't beat others.
In fact, I regret it when I think about it. After beating my brother-in-law, my sister still has sex with others, always complaining that I kicked so hard that I was swollen.
Sometimes it's hard to be nice.
The third sister shouted, "Tan Zi, it's done."
As soon as I stopped, the man got up and ran out the door, and I chased him out.The man ran so fast that he disappeared after a while.I didn't chase hard, as long as the effect is achieved, I will teach him a lesson in beating women.
Back in the house, the second sister stopped crying, and the third sister looked at me blankly, as if looking at an alien.
"Tan Zi, you are too fierce. I didn't know what was going on, but you did it, and you got him in the blink of an eye." Third Sister said.
"What's the matter, you have to discuss and discuss the fight. Tell him, hey, I'm going to hit you, you pay attention? If you do it, you do it. Don't be a jerk. It's not good to do something when you have a jerk." I said.
"Then you are too fierce."
"Don't wait for him to hit me. Fighting is like this. Either you hit him or he hits you. Whoever is faster will take advantage."
"Do you always fight at home?"
"Don't fight, I can't afford to fight, I have no money."
To tell the truth, I fight with people at home, but I don't take the initiative to find them to fight, they only do it when they bully me.Also, you can't bully my family. Bullying my family is better than bullying me.
Of course, beating your brother-in-law doesn't count.
When my brother-in-law hits his brother-in-law, it's just a joke.
Why that man came to look for the second sister is their business, they don't know and don't want to know, and it's over if they beat him away.Seeing that the second sister was getting better, the third sister asked me to take her back, so I took a taxi to take the second sister home.The second sister is also very particular, and bought me a cigarette.
But after beating that man, he also regretted it, and thought that he would not care about this matter in the future, and if he accidentally beat him up, he really couldn't afford it.
Chapter 9
The female cook at Sister Wang's house left, and Sister Li hired a male cook.
Sister Wang felt awkward working with the male chef, but fortunately the male chef didn't live in the shop, it would be embarrassing if he lived in the shop.
The accommodation conditions in small hotels in the 90s were not good, so I lived in the store and slept on a bench.If you have a private room to sleep in a private room, it is better to sleep in a private room, and only larger hotels will have dormitories.
There has been no news since Yingzi came home. Sometimes I really think that when she was here, she would come here at least twice a day, and during the lunch break, she would come to chat for a while, complain about Miss Wang, or talk about what kind of guests she received. What did the guest say.In the evening, as soon as Brother Zhang, Sister San, and the noodle master from my side come home, and Sister Li from her side also comes home, they will come over with Sister Wang, and the three of us sit and chat together.
There are many part-time workers in the small restaurant on Beisi Road, and they all know each other. When they meet, they talk and chat. Tell me about the boss.I know the waiters and chefs of every restaurant, but the best friends are Sister Wang and Yingzi.
It's not easy to go out to discuss life. Young people leave home and are willing to gather together. The fate of working together narrows the distance between each other, and keeps each other warm together.
My appearance determines that many people avoid me when they first meet, thinking that I am not a good person.After a long time, I found out that I was a good person and took advantage of my appearance-I felt safe.Since I beat off the man who came to the store to make trouble, I became a hero among the migrant workers on the street of Beisi Road. Everyone knew that I could fight and be ruthless.
It's over with a smile to these, it's no big deal, they didn't watch how I fight at home, there are always times when I get beaten with black nose, face, head and blood.
It's ten o'clock in the evening, and I was just about to go to bed when I saw someone walking outside the store, a bit like Ms. Wang.When I opened the store door, I saw that it was true, and stopped her.
"It's already ten o'clock, why don't you go to bed? Still walking outside." I asked.
"I'll talk to you when I get inside." Sister Wang said.
He and Sister Wang entered the store.
"Today, the male chef also lived in the store, and he was a bit dishonest, so I came out." Sister Wang said.
I was taken aback and asked, "Isn't he not living in the shop?"
Sister Wang said: "Yes, today he told Sister Li that the house he rented with someone else was due, and that person stopped renting it, and neither did he. He has no place to live, and lives in a shop."
"That's no nonsense, how can a man live with a woman? It's not convenient, and besides, can that man be honest?" I got angry when I heard it.
"I lived with men in other stores, but they were all separated, and they were honest. This boy was dishonest. He was okay at first, but he came to pull me after a while, and he got angry when he got angry." Sister Wang explain.
"Sister, you're here, I'll go over and have a look." I started to walk out.
Sister Wang pulled me back and said, "You can go over and see if you can't solve the problem. If he doesn't leave, even if I'm being honest, I have to go back to sleep."
I pushed her away and said, "That won't work, go over and warn him."
When I passed by, the chef wasn't there, and I didn't see anyone. If he was there, he might have a tragedy.Seeing that the chef was not there, she called Sister Wang to come over. Sister Wang checked and locked the door of the store, and returned to the noodle restaurant with me.
After I came back, I said to Sister Wang: "There is also a man and a woman now, don't be afraid."
Sister Wang smiled and said to me: "There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm familiar with you. You're my younger brother."
"My little brother is also a man."
"You won't bully me."
A word full of trust is worth a thousand words, which makes young hearts feel grateful and accomplished while being moved.
It was already late, so I set up a stool for Sister Wang, and said to her, "Let's make do with it for the night, let's chat, and go to bed when we're tired."
I don't have any idea about Sister Wang, maybe it's a preconceived notion. She is Yingzi's sister-in-law. Although she is not married, she thinks so. Plus, she always calls her sister, and she takes care of me like a sister. I don't think of men and women at all. Things in between go up.
I have been with my sisters since I was a child, and I am more or less immune to women.Although I am 21, I have never had sex with men and women, and I don't have so many thoughts and impulses towards women. If I have tasted women, I may not be honest.
Sister Wang was lying on the stool that had been set up, and we were separated by one meter.
"I'm not afraid of you." She said, "I was a little scary when I first met you. You were bareheaded and had a fierce face, like a fugitive."
Everyone said that I was like a fugitive, but I really didn't look at myself carefully.People are like this, many things are their own, but they don't know much about them, they only know it after others say it.Such as appearance, such as personality.And it is often these things that determine a person.
I said, "Really? I really don't know."
"Yes, you look like a fugitive. You don't look like a good person, and you told Yingzi not to talk to you."
"Am I that not a good person?"
"I thought so at first, but after being with you for a long time, I found that you are quite nice and honest, so I don't feel scary anymore, mainly because you look scary." She said.
"I don't feel it myself."
"Why did you shave your head?" Sister Wang asked in the dark.
I told her about the work of loading and unloading cement in the past.
"I really want to touch it," she said.
"That's not easy. You can touch it whenever you want, and there is no charge." I laughed.
She smiled too, and you could imagine her smile in the dark.
She asked me, "What kind of wife are you going to find?"
I said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about my wife yet."
"It's really hard to say what kind of wife you are looking for. You don't even feel that Yingzi is so clingy to you. If you take it easy, she always tells me that you don't like her."
"It's not that I don't feel it. Yingzi is not suitable to be a daughter-in-law. No one knows what she will be like in the future. There are not many men who can control her." I continued: "I don't care much about marrying a wife. The only requirement is a woman." , give birth to a son."
"Why give birth to a son, why not give birth to a daughter?"
I said: "My five older sisters, my parents and my mother only wanted me when they were old, in order to have a son. I have a single lineage. I have to continue the incense of my family and have to give birth to a son."
She smiled and said, "This is difficult, who can guarantee that I will have a son."
"Yes, there is no guarantee, let's take a step and see."
Now I am very simple, without much thought.What lies ahead is how to make money, and as for the relationship between children, let nature take its course.I am also very eager for a romantic partner. My young heart is full of curiosity and excitement towards the opposite sex. When I see a beautiful girl, my heart is also moved. I think it would be great if she was my wife.
21, this age is married in rural areas.Like my neighbor, our elder brother who played with us since childhood, got married at 21, and the child is now four years old.
In the camp, I was also an outstanding young man, able to talk, chat, work, and be filial to my mother.It stands to reason that it should be easy to talk about a daughter-in-law, but when I mention my family, I shake my head. It's nothing more than being too poor and in debt. No one is willing to marry the girl to me, for fear that the girl will suffer when she comes to my house.
How should I put it, I can't say it is too realistic, people live in reality, how can we not face reality?
My poverty is a reality, undisputed, and I admit it.But people will not be poor for a lifetime. I have hands, feet and a head. I am neither stupid nor pinch. I believe that I can use my hands to change poverty, make my family rich, and let my mother live a good life.
Life is like this, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
Don't bully the youth to be poor.
Western Liaoning is a well-known poverty-stricken area in the whole province. There have been nine droughts in ten years.There is not much flat land, mostly mountains.The soil layer in the mountains is thin, and the soil erosion is serious, so there is not much harvest for crops.
My mother and I have eight acres of land, and we can't harvest much in a year, and we can't make ends meet every year.There are also "triangular debts" in the countryside, and my family owed the most in the camp.Wealthy households are called "[-]-thousand households", and so is my family, but they are just "triangular debts".
Every winter, the village leader collects "land flow money" from door to door. My family can't get it out, so we have to pay it with grain, which is not enough.
The village group leader said: "Take back your land during the Chinese New Year, don't plant it."
I was so angry when the village leader said this, but my mother didn’t care too much, and said, “Take it back, just take it back.” I didn’t say anything else, and after the village leader left, I asked my mother, “What about the new year? There is no land to plant, what should I do?"
My mother said: "Why is there no land to plant? He just said, now that there is a new society, there is still something about not letting ordinary people farm land?" The mother was very calm, and then said: "He just said, what is the situation in our family? It's not that I don't know."
My family ranks first in the difficult village, and the town knows it.My father was ill when he was young, so he couldn't participate in the labor force, and couldn't work in the production team. If he didn't work, he would have no work points and no income.In addition, money is needed for medical treatment. If there is no money, I can only borrow it from the production team. If the production team does not have it, I will borrow money from the commune.
My mother told me that my father was a well-known "old patient" in the camp at that time.In addition, there are many children in the family, all of whom are girls. There are no boys, and there is no male labor force. The older sisters can't earn much work points when they work in the production team. After a year, they still owe the production team, which makes them even poorer.
When I was a child, I watched a movie "Xu Mao and His Daughters". The acting was similar to that of my family, but it was better than my family.
When my father died when I was seven, leaving behind my mother and six children, life was even more difficult.
When I left home, I didn’t have any lofty ideals—I had to mix things up, or how much money I earned, and I had to return to my hometown. There were no such rhetoric, just telling myself to earn money to support my family.
As for marrying a daughter-in-law, I didn't think too much about it, just let nature take its course.
The next day, Sister Wang's family hired a female chef and sent the male chef away.
Sister Wang sleeps safely every day.
Chapter 10 Gu Zhiyi
Yingzi came back in mid-April, and instead of going back to the bacon and pancake shop, she found a job as a waiter at Wuai Market.It's a relatively big restaurant with good conditions, and it also sells bacon flatbreads. She plans to ask Sister Wang to go there too.It happened that Sister Li didn't want to run a restaurant anymore and felt tired, so she exchanged the restaurant. Sister Wang and Yingzi went to the restaurant in Wu'ai Market together.
When they left, they left me the address and phone number of the hotel, telling me to go there when I had time.
Sister Wang and Yingzi are friends I met in a real sense after I came out to work, and I was reluctant to let them go, and they were the same.Especially Yingzi, who was reluctant to part with me, hugged me and shed tears.
"Brother, you must see me." Yingzi said while wiping away tears.
"Well, I will go when I have time." I agreed.
"If you don't work here, you must tell me, and call me when you go."
"Yeah." I nodded and felt a little uncomfortable seeing her crying, so I wiped her tears and said, "Why are you crying? How old are you? I will listen to Sister Wang and see you when I have time."
"Must look at me."
The little girl wiped away her tears, and Sister Wang came over and said, "Little brother, do your work here first, and if you need odd jobs in that place, I will come to you."
"Well, thank you ma'am."
"Thank you." Sister Wang smiled, and then said softly to Yingzi: "Don't cry, don't you want to leave here a long time ago? Look at you, you can't bear to miss you, brother Tan, you can stay here, and don't let you Take it in your pocket."
One sentence amused Yingzi.
Sending Yingzi and Sister Wang away is empty, but there is no way to do it. Sister Li's family quit, and Sister Wang has to find a new job. It happens that Yingzi needs to make bacon pancakes. She goes to be with Yingzi. Still a good thing.Meeting is fate, and separation is also fate. As long as the green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever, we will meet each other by fate.
I continued to work in the noodle shop, and my life was not rushed, thinking about learning to be a chef all day long.
How can I learn to cook?First of all, I have to find a restaurant that has stir-fried dishes. When I go there, I will do odd jobs first, do odd jobs for others, and learn while doing it.Sister Wang said that it is best to be accompanied by someone who is learning to be a chef, but now there is no one to take care of her, and she does not know anyone, so it is a bit difficult to handle.
Besides, Brother Zhang and Third Sister are very kind to me, so I am too embarrassed to leave.
These days, it was not Li Yufei who delivered the beer, but the old elder brother. When I asked him if Li Yufei was still there, the elder brother said he was still there.Tell the elder brother to ask Li Yufei to come over for a drink when he has time.
After finally meeting a classmate, I don't want to leave like Sister Yingzi.After waiting for two days, Li Yufei did not come. On the third day, I asked the elder brother who delivered the beer. The elder brother said that Li Yufei quit his job after paying his salary and left without saying where he was going.I asked why you did a good job and left?The eldest brother said he didn't know, maybe he thought he was making too little money.My 300 yuan is not too little, but his [-] yuan is too little.Hey, I was quite angry, so I just quit, and I didn't say to see my old classmates, so I just left without a trace, and it will be difficult to meet again.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it will be May Day soon.
This day the second sister came, and with her was a young man who was 24 or [-], with a black face, very upright, and a simple and honest look.
The young man is the cousin of the third sister's hometown, named Gu Zhiyi, who has just become a monk.I have been working in a restaurant in the provincial capital for a long time. I went home for a blind date a year ago, and I was not in a hurry to come back after the New Year. I only came out after finishing the engagement party at home.
"Zhiyi, did your father let you come out from home this time?" Third Sister asked.
"Rang, can you come out if you don't allow it?" Gu Zhiyi said with a smile.
"Didn't bring the object out?"
"No, don't come out with me."
"I heard that her family is very good. His father is the village chief?"
"Well, it's the village head." Gu Zhiyi smiled honestly.
"Are you planning to work in a restaurant this time?" Third Sister asked.
"Well, I'm still working in a restaurant, and I'm going to find a bigger restaurant, so I can learn from it."
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, I wondered if Gu Zhiyi could take me with me?Can't help getting eager, wanting to chat with him, and tell him what I mean by the way.
But Gu Zhiyi chatted with the third sister for a while and was about to leave, saying that he was going to visit the restaurant he worked in before. He got along well with the chef there before, and now he came back to say hello.When he was leaving, the third sister told him to go home at night, but he said no, he was not used to it, so he went back to live in the noodle shop, and smiled and told me to keep the door open for him.
Of course I would, and I was looking for a chance to chat with him.
After get off work at night, I sat in the store and waited for Gu Zhiyi.First, the chef next door came and sat for a while, asking me about Yingzi, and told him that Yingzi was working at the Wuai Market.He said with some regret that Yingzi is so beautiful, he must have a partner, otherwise he would definitely pursue Yingzi.I looked at him and said, let’s be content, don’t eat what’s in the bowl and look at what’s in the pot, be careful not to eat what’s in the pot, and what’s in the bowl to run away.
He asked: "It seems that you and her are doing well, didn't you take her down?"
When he asked this sentence, coupled with his wretched expression, I was very angry. I guess he was thinking about dirty things in his heart at this time.
"Don't just look for something to talk about, you'll take it if you make me anxious." Don't be polite to this kind of person.
He touched his face in embarrassment, just as his boss called him, and took advantage of this light to go back.
Gu Zhiyi came back around nine o'clock.
He came back from drinking with his friends, his face flushed. When I asked him about the chef and cooking, I didn't expect him to be very talkative, and he started chatting with me.
He said that there are eight major cuisines in China, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.Each cuisine has its own taste characteristics and kung fu practices.Sichuan and Hunan are known for their spiciness, Cantonese cuisine is high-end, Jiangsu cuisine is light, Fujian and Zhejiang are native, Anhui cuisine is fisherman's mountain, and Shandong cuisine is a blend of five flavors.I didn't quite understand what he said, but it undoubtedly increased my confidence as a chef.
He said: "Chefs all start from odd jobs and students. They are students first, and then they learn to do odd jobs, that is, doing odd jobs, picking vegetables, killing fish, and cleaning seafood. The dishes are ready. Wait until the side dishes are almost dry, and establish a good relationship with the master. Under normal circumstances, you will be apprenticed to the master. Then the master will take the oil and water on the stove and fry some simple Maocai. This is called sticking. Stove. After that, it depends on your own understanding, good ones can become chefs, and bad ones will be like that."
I asked him, "What level are you at now?"
"In a small restaurant you can cook, but in a big restaurant it's a side dish. I'm going to find a bigger restaurant to have side dishes. I'll practice hard and try to find a master who will take care of me well, and then I'll go out to cook."
I am very envious that he can go to a small restaurant to cook, and think he is very good.
I said, "I also want to learn how to cook."
"It's ok, when I find a good restaurant, if I'm short of odd jobs, I'll call you there, and then work hard, and it's up to you whether you learn or not."
I am happy to say thank you directly.
Then we talked a lot, we are both young people, it is easy to find common topics.He is affordable and warm-hearted, making me feel like a brother in the family.
In the next few days, he went out to look for work during the day and came back to live at night.The first two days were not very smooth, and all the people looking for him were small restaurants, but they didn't go.I am very anxious for him, because I also hope that he will find a good job.
On the third night, he came back early and asked me, "Tanzi, do you know how to drink?"
"I can drink."
"Let's have a drink."
He fried two dishes and we drank together.
"My family's conditions are good, I can't study, I don't want to go to school after finishing junior high school, and I learn to be a bricklayer with my dad at home. The bricklayer is tired and I don't want to do it. I told my dad to come out to work. My dad didn't agree, so I ran out by myself. Yes." After finishing speaking, he smiled and continued: "I worked outside for a few years and didn't make much money, so I didn't want to go back. I met a waiter and stayed with me for a year. Later, I stopped with the chef. .”
"Cooks earn more money." I said.
He smiled and took a sip of his wine, apparently not wanting to mention it.
I asked, "Isn't your date pretty good now?"
He sighed and said: "Hey, you don't know, I didn't plan to go home for a blind date. The first person I met ran away with the chef. I just wanted to wait until I became a chef and then find a good one. But I'm 24, I don't know Worry, my family can’t do it, my parents forced me to go home for a blind date, and if I don’t go on a blind date, I won’t be allowed to come out. You know what’s going on in the countryside, if you don’t find someone after 24, it’s hard to find someone.”
I said, "You should be married."
"Work outside for another year and go back to get married at the end of the year. It's not certain if you can't get out after getting married." He said.
"Come out with your wife after you get married."
"Look, it's probably enough, my family can't let it go."
"Then you, the chef, didn't learn in vain?"
"It's not in vain. If you can't open a restaurant in the town at home, it's okay for us. It's not difficult. Some people eat. Even if you don't open a restaurant, you can cook for weddings and weddings at home." He said.
I thought what he said was right, it was a good way to speculate on big banquets at home, and it was a way to take care of the family and make money.I can do it, but I have to learn how to be a chef first. If I can't learn how to be a chef, it's useless.
"Tanzi, I see that you really want to learn how to be a chef. You can't learn how to be a chef here. There is no cooking here. Besides, Sanjie and Brother Zhang don't run a restaurant. They are just talking nonsense here. I am a cousin. I can't say, I really don't like their style, the third sister's husband, my sister's wife is very good, I don't know what's going on, it's okay if I know."
Obviously, he couldn't bear Brother Zhang and Third Sister's behavior.
"I guess your brother-in-law knows." I said.
"If you know it, you know it. I can't control it." He shook his head: "I went to my aunt's house the day before yesterday, and my aunt still talked about this matter. She can't control it. My second sister is enough for her to worry about."
"The elders can't handle this matter, and the city people don't take it seriously."
"Actually, my family is also in the provincial capital. My father and his sister, my father and my aunt, my family is a devolved household. When we return to the city, we have a quota for each family. My dad is also a boy. It will be easier in the countryside. Give me the quota. Aunt."
"Oh, then your aunt will treat you well." I said.
He picked up the wine glass and touched it with me, took a sip and said, "My aunt treats me well, and my second sister and third sister treat me well, but I can't understand their style, if it's in my house, my dad will be mad at me. "
I smile.
"I heard from the second sister that you helped her beat up a man in the past two days?" he asked.
I said, "Just in time."
He gave me a thumbs up: "Admiration! It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with you, you can leave it alone, and it can help prove that you are a worthy person."
"It's okay, the third sister is nice to me." I admitted.
"Look, this noodle shop won't last long, and it won't make any money. The two of you are talking nonsense every day. Sooner or later, you'll get dirty."
"Hurry up and find a job, I'll follow you if you lose your job."
"Don't worry, Tan Zi, if you don't come here and tell me, I promise to find you a job."
His guarantee is convincing, and it can be seen that he is not a fool, such a friend is worth making.
After two days, he found a more ideal hotel - Bolin Hotel, which is a subordinate unit of the Forestry Bureau and is quite famous in the provincial capital.
When he left, he gave me the phone number of the hotel and told me to call me there if there was no odd job there.
Chapter 11 Laid Off Again
"Li's Bacon Pancake Shop" is a four-year-old shop in Wu'ai Market. Its business has been booming. It mainly deals in Sichuan cuisine and bacon pancakes. Sister Wang and Yingzi work here.
Yingzi is beautiful, cheerful, and loves to talk and laugh. The front desk staff like her very much.Not only the ones at the front desk like it, but even the ones in the kitchen like it. The water table for the side dishes is always chatting with her, but she doesn't like it, saying that they are short and not as tall as her.
There are four waiters at the front desk, and Yingzi is the youngest, and everyone calls her little girl.There are five people in the kitchen, one chef, one water table, one cold dish, one odd job, plus Sister Wang.
There is no need to use a stool to sleep here every night. There are dormitories on the second floor of the hotel, one room for men and one room for women. The conditions are considered good.Yingzi and Sister Wang have a set of beds, bunk beds, and Yingzi is on top.Sometimes if I don't like to go up, I will squeeze into the lower bunk with Sister Wang, and let Sister Wang hug me to sleep like a kitten.
"Sister, what do you think Brother Tan is doing now?" Yingzi and Sister Wang huddled together on the bed and asked Sister Wang in a low voice.
"What can I do? Go to sleep." Sister Wang said.
"Do you miss him?"
"No, what do you want him for?" Sister Wang said, a boy's face appeared in front of her eyes, with a big bald head.
"Hehe, I think." Yingzi said.
"Don't be ashamed."
"Why are you ashamed? I just thought, how nice he is, I would like to be with him." Yingzi said directly.
"Then you should be his daughter-in-law. He just doesn't have a date."
Yingzi blushed.She likes Brother Tan, but she doesn't want to be his wife, she just likes him. The 19-year-old girl already knows what liking and love are. Although the boundary is still a little fuzzy, it is still clear in her heart.It's just that this kind of liking also stirs the girl's heart more or less, and she can't help but think of him, Brother Tan. Whenever she thinks of it, there will be a clear face, a bald head, and a face like a bandit. And always serious expression.
She was thinking, if Brother Tan was more handsome, she might fall in love with him.I thought about it and laughed.
"Why are you smirking? Go to bed quickly." Sister Wang gave Yingzi a push. She was a little tired and began to close her eyes.
Yingzi mischievously grabbed Sister Wang's chest, and said with a smile, "I just know how to sleep."
Sister Wang opened her eyes and hit her, then said harshly: "Be honest, if you don't be honest, go to sleep, I don't bother to hug you." After speaking, she turned over and closed her eyes again.
Yingzi saw that Sister Wang turned away, and calmed down, leaning against Sister Wang and closing her eyes, thinking about the things that belong to girls only.
I have been in the noodle restaurant for two months, and I earned 480 yuan, [-] yuan was mailed home, and I kept [-] yuan for myself. In addition, the previous work as a loading and unloading job was enough, and I still have a balance.
Sister Wang and Gu Zhiyi didn't believe it. They didn't go to work for a long time. They haven't been there for a month.In particular, there are some students who want to be chefs. The students do the same work as odd jobs, and they don’t need money. Even if there is a lack of odd jobs, the boss will let the students come first.
I know that I cannot be a student because I need money.
Wipe the table clean, arrange the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, clean the floor, clean up the sanitation, then brew Brother Zhang's tea, and pour the hot water for Third Sister.I went to the kitchen and saw that there was nothing to do, so I sat down and smoked a cigarette.
"Oh, it's almost May Day, it's time for a holiday, and there's no business." The third sister sighed.
"We also have a day off on May [-]st." Brother Zhang said.
"Let's go, anyway, I won't come that day, I will take the children out to play." Third Sister said.
"Then it's settled, May Day is a holiday." Brother Zhang stared at him again.
The third sister took a sip of water, glanced at me who was sitting and smoking, and asked, "Tan Zi, what are you doing on vacation?"
I thought for a while and said, "Sleep."
"Aren't you going out to play?" Third Sister asked.
"No play, no money."
Zhang Ge said with a smile: "Tan Zi will live a life, saving money to be a daughter-in-law."
I smiled.What Brother Zhang said was right. He did save money to call his daughter-in-law, and he had already made up his mind.It is true that the family has no money. The family will have as much as I earn, and nothing if I do not earn.If you want to talk about your daughter-in-law, you can rely on yourself, if you can't, don't talk about it.
There was a loud noise coming from outside, and the voice should be Xiao Sichuan, the waiter of the spring pancake shop.
"What's wrong, is there a fight?" Third Sister asked curiously.
Brother Zhang took a sip of tea and was also very curious, but as the boss, he didn't want to go out to see it yet, so he said to me: "Tan Zi, go out and see if there is a fight."
Standing up and opening the door, Xiao Sichuan was arguing with her boss at the entrance of the spring pancake shop.There were a dozen or so people standing next to them, all working in the restaurant on the left and right, and the chef next door was also there, with cigarettes in their mouths and shoulders in their arms, watching the excitement with great interest.Seeing me come out, a pair of small eyes behind the eyes are narrowed, half a smile is not a smile.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Little Sichuan is leaving. The boss has just found a waiter from the labor market. It may be 50 yuan short of Xiao Sichuan. This is not there."
Xiao Sichuan was going to her cousin's place, and she had already told her boss, and the boss agreed, but he didn't hire a waiter to replace her.Little Sichuan is capable, one is worth two, and the boss doesn't want to let her go.But there is no way, people don’t want to work for you, earn less, and give you time to find someone, if you find someone, you have to let them go.
The owner of the spring pancake shop is in his 30s, thin and dry, very shrewd, very picky, and he goes out of his way to see money, and he doesn't recognize people.Everyone in this street knows what he is like. If there is a lot of food left over from the guests, they will save it and give it to the employees.So his family can't keep people, the cooks are always changing, and the cake makers are always changing. Xiao Sichuan is the longest in his family.
Take two steps forward.
"Ask me for money? Did you know that you broke three plates?" The owner of the spring cake shop said anxiously to Xiao Sichuan.
Little Sichuan is also very aggressive. He pointed at the boss and said sharply, "Is your plate gold? Three fifty? Besides, when did I order it? Do you know if you said that plate can't be used anymore?"
"Did I tell you to hit it when I said it couldn't be used?" The boss seemed to grasp the reason, and straightened his back.No matter how straight it is, it can't reach 1.7 meters.
The two stood there awkwardly, one asked for money and the other refused to give it, everyone who watched the excitement knew what was going on.The migrant workers were very angry, but because they were migrant workers, they could only watch angrily, and no one stepped forward to speak up for Xiao Sichuan.The owner of the restaurant next door and the owner of the Chaos restaurant are also there. Although they don't like the owner of the spring pancake shop, they are both bosses, so it's hard to say anything.
The owner of the spring pancake shop said something ugly, and everyone felt their ears pop when they heard it. The owner of the chaotic shop couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Zhang, you are not short of the 50 yuan, give it to her, don't worry about it." Yes, these people are watching."
"Give it to her?" The owner of the spring pancake shop kept saying, "If you give it to a beggar, you won't give it to her!"
What he said hurt people and was very insulting.
I guess my face was ugly, so I walked up to him and said to him, "You must give her the 50 yuan today."
He looked at me disdainfully, and then said something very normal: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I just can't see it. Today you give her 50 yuan to finish the job. If you don't give it to her, I will waste it with you." I said.I thought to myself, don't be too strong to beat people yourself, as long as you can help Xiao Sichuan get 50 yuan out.Little Sichuan’s monthly salary is the same as mine, two hundred and four. If another fifty is deducted, it would be too wronged and bullying.
As soon as I was in my early years, and what the owner of the Chaos Pavilion said just now, several people spoke up and asked him to give 50 yuan to Xiao Sichuan.Brother Zhang also came out, stood and watched for a long time, opened his mouth and said: "It's only 50 yuan, it's not worth it, let her finish the work, and it's time to serve guests later, what's the point of making trouble."
In the end, the owner of the spring pancake shop couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion, so he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Xiao Sichuan.
People started to disperse, the boss gave me a vicious look, which meant that he already held a grudge, and indirectly hated Brother Zhang, he turned around and walked into the store, I called him to stop.
"Don't look at me with that look, let me tell you, first, if you didn't hit you today, you will pick it up, to save you face; second, don't mess with me, provoke me to kill you!" After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at him, and directly Back to the noodle shop.
But the mood is still very happy.When I was at home, my mother always said, if you are honest, you will not bully and if you are tough, you will not be afraid.And when I came out, my mother also said that it is not easy to go out, and it is a help if you can help, not necessarily when you are in trouble, someone will help you.
Seeing that it was almost May [-]st, the second sister came and told me that the male classmate hadn't been looking for her, maybe I was afraid of being beaten.The third sister told the second sister that Tan Zi is famous now, and he can be regarded as a big brother on Beisi Road.
What I want is not a big brother, that stuff doesn't make money, I just want to impatiently learn how to cook and make a lot of money.The second sister said that a friend of hers owns a hotel, and if she had time, she would ask to see if there was a shortage of odd jobs, and if so, call me over.I just wanted to thank you. The third sister said: "Okay, the hotel opened by your friend takes girls, where can I learn something? Tanzi can't go."
Indeed, do not go to hotels with young ladies.
The husband of the third sister has always opposed the partnership between the third sister and brother Zhang to open a restaurant, but he can't control the third sister, and more or less knows the iron relationship between the third sister and brother Zhang.Finally, on April NO.30, I couldn't bear it anymore. For the dignity of a man, I found four buddies to go to the restaurant to make trouble.
The third sister was very emotional, she didn't expect that her husband, who had never dared to resist her, dared to challenge her majesty openly, so she quarreled very fiercely.It is said that women are tigers, and this time I have really seen it. The third sister is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. Her husband is overwhelmed before a round is over. .
The four buddies started beating Brother Zhang, I stopped him from the middle, scolded me for pretending to be a big clove of garlic, and even scolded a few bad words, which pissed me off, so I started having sex with them.
The result is that both sides suffer, and no one is good.Haohu couldn't hold back the pack of wolves, so three of them beat me up until my nose was bruised, my face was swollen, and my mouth was bleeding.Seeing the blood, their eyes turned red, and they started desperately fighting for their lives. In the end, they were overwhelmed by my desperate tactics and kicked out of the hotel.After leaving the hotel and chasing him all the way—it made me anxious.
After the fight, I said to my third sister and brother Zhang, "You guys have to settle this matter sooner or later. It's not a big deal. The restaurant doesn't make money. It's better to settle the matter before thinking about the next step."
The third sister had disheveled hair and her eyes were dull, while Brother Zhang covered his head and remained silent.
The two of them didn't come the next day, and the whole street knew about the fight, so they were probably afraid of embarrassing themselves.It also happens to be May Day, so I have a day off.
On the third day and the fourth day, he didn't come. On the fifth day, Brother Zhang came and said that the noodle restaurant was closed, so he exchanged money out, and settled the wages of me and the noodle master.
Laid himself off.
