Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 109: Yu Mo, the "Evil Spirit"

"Of course not. A female classmate came to see me and plans to stay with me for a while. Master Du, are you leaving again after you come back this time? You won't stay for two months and then be seconded out again like before, right?
Alas, the food in the cafeteria is getting worse and worse. Li Guixiang's cooking skills are not as good as Aunt Qin's. I say, you came back just in time. How about coming to my place tonight to show off your cooking skills?"

Wang Liwen chattered non-stop along the way, and she didn't even realize that she had already regarded the other person as her spiritual support.

Du Shaojie wanted to talk about his job transfer, at least to give Wang Liwen a heads-up. But seeing her expression, he stopped talking and decided to talk about it in a few days.

As for the fact that there were guests at the other party's house, he didn't care. Who doesn't have some friends, right?
"Okay, prepare the materials and I'll go over early in the evening."

Du Shaojie did not plan to go to work today. He would report to the site office near the end of the afternoon. No one could say anything.

The two of them went back to their respective homes. Du Shaojie took a rare nap and did not go to the field office until mid-afternoon.

He first went to Zhao Dajun's office and sat for a while. Zhao Dajun had a hard time recently and didn't have much to say. Later, he went to Lin Zuo's office.

Lin Zuo was in charge of logistics, so he naturally went to report to the other party after he came back.

"I'm glad you're back! The cafeteria's work has been a mess recently, mainly because Qin Xiaomei doesn't obey the instructions and throws a tantrum at every turn. You must rectify it when you get back."

Lin Zuo threw dirty water on Qin Xiaomei with an expressionless face and spoke nonsense.

Du Shaojie shook his head. He had nothing to say to the other party. After saying "hmm", he left the site.

As for the conflict between Li Guixiang and Qin Xiaomei, he was too lazy to care about it, but as long as he was on the farm for one day, no one could interfere with his work, otherwise he would not be polite.

The chef has absolute authority in the cafeteria, and no matter who supports Li Guixiang, it will be useless.

at dusk.

Du Shaojie came to Wang Liwen's house and also met her classmate, Yu Mo.

The other person was not very tall, wore a pair of glasses, had an average appearance but very fair skin. Compared with Yu Mo, Wang Liwen was considered a "black girl".

As the saying goes, "a white complexion can conceal a hundred uglinesses." Yu Mo is also a pretty girl with some looks.

Wang Liwen introduced both parties. Du Shaojie and Yu Mo greeted each other and went to the kitchen.

"Is this really the chef from your company? He's very young, and quite handsome."

Wang Liwen was talking to Yu Mo in the room, and Yu Mo had a very good first impression of Du Shaojie.

But when she wanted to find out more information, Wang Liwen ignored her, which made her very depressed.

Du Shaojie fried two home-cooked dishes and made a pot of egg drop soup, and the three of them started eating together.

Yu Mo was shoveling rice from her bowl while eating vegetables. She really thought Du Shaojie's cooking skills were good. She was almost depressed from eating in the cafeteria all the time these days.

Wang Liwen had a very satisfied look on her face. She finally got to eat the food cooked by Chef Du again, and her life finally returned to normal.

After eating and drinking, the three continued to chat.

It was then that Du Shaojie discovered that Yu Mo was very eloquent and his words were very contagious, which showed that he had excellent eloquence.

He admires talented people, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. Yu Mo's topic began to turn to current affairs, and he even commented on the major event that happened last year.

It can be seen that this is a thoughtful and radical guy.

"Ahem, I should go back now. We'll talk again when there's a chance. Doctor Wang, I brought you something but forgot to bring it. Come with me to get it."

Du Shaojie finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to say goodbye.

If Yu Mo's remarks were put in the future, it wouldn't matter. We can debate different opinions and pretend to be stupid. But letting go of the present will kill people, right?
When he left, he found an excuse and called Wang Liwen to his house.

"Doctor Wang, are those poems you excerpted in your diary related to Yu Mo? There is one thing I think you should understand. You have neither the ability to save others nor the strength to withstand disasters.

I don't care why Yu Mo came to you, you'd better send her away as soon as possible. The field is not a paradise. I remember telling you that Lin Zuo, Li Guixiang and others are watching you, so don't take any chances. "

Du Shaojie wished he could pry open Wang Liwen's head to see what was inside.

If you want to be a pioneer, you must be willing to sacrifice your life. If not, then just be an ordinary person and don't get involved in things that you shouldn't get involved in.

He couldn't help but ask the other person, are you really willing to fall in the shadow before dawn?

"I"

Wang Liwen was speechless for a moment and was completely unable to refute Du Shaojie's words.

What they said was right. She was just lucky, thinking that the farm was far away and nothing would happen. Also, she couldn't save face. Yu Mo came all the way to seek refuge with her, so she couldn't chase him away, right?
"Yu Mo said that some of her pen pals got into trouble in Hangzhou, and she wanted to hide here with me until the storm was over. Shaojie, Yu Mo didn't do anything, she just copied some poems and gave them to her pen pals, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

What Wang Liwen wanted to convince was not Du Shaojie, but herself.

But as she spoke, her voice became softer and softer, and it was obvious that she felt there was no point in continuing to lie to herself.

"I'll go back and tell Yu Mo to leave as soon as possible."

Wang Liwen was like a child who had done something wrong. She not only lowered her head in front of Du Shaojie, but also looked a little uneasy. She herself didn't understand why this happened, but she was very clear about one thing, that is, Du Shaojie would never hurt her.

"Well, hurry up so as not to hurt others and yourself. Do you have enough money? I don't have any extra money, but I can lend you some national food coupons."

As Du Shaojie was talking, he went into the house and took out some national food coupons.

Local food coupons can only be used locally. People like Yu Mo who have to hide from place to place can only use national food coupons.

"Thank you, Shaojie! You can call me by my name when no one is around. I don't like you always calling me Doctor Wang. Lend me these food coupons first. I'll go talk to Yu Mo now."

Wang Liwen already understood that she didn't have the courage to sacrifice herself, so she stopped trying.

And the key point is that she felt that Du Shaojie was right. With Lin Zuo around, the farm was not a safe island and danger could come at any time.

When Wang Liwen got home, she didn't see Yu Mo in the main room, so she pushed the door and walked into the guest room, where she saw Yu Mo packing his luggage. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

"Liwen, thank you for taking me in for so many days. I think it's time for me to leave. No matter where I go in the future, I will always remember your kindness."

In the end, Yu Mo spoke first.

Wang Liwen nodded with difficulty, not knowing what to say.

"Your master chef is a very wise man. I shouldn't have said those things. He saw through me after just a few words. Even without him, I would have left in a few days. It's not safe to stay in one place for too long."

Yu Mo recalled Du Shaojie's look from before, and he still feels scared.

He was like a newborn baby in front of him, without any protection, and everything was seen through by him. Yu Mo smelled a dangerous aura from him, and it seemed that this remote place was not a good place to hide either.

"Yu Mo, I'm sorry!"

Wang Liwen couldn't hold it in any longer, so she went forward, hugged Yu Mo and started crying.

After a long while, she finally woke up as if from a dream and handed over her savings and a handful of national food coupons to the other party.

"Wow, you are quite rich. I'll lend you these threads and national food coupons. Don't cry, go to bed early, I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Yu Mo actually felt very uncomfortable. She felt that she was indeed too selfish and had invisibly brought danger to Wang Liwen.

She took the money and food coupons and put them together with the letter of introduction she had obtained from other channels. These three things were essential for going out at the moment, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.

At this moment, Du Shaojie's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

"You don't even lock the door, and you're not afraid of thieves breaking into the house! Yu Mo, it seems that you have made up your mind, which shows that you are a smart person. I will come to call you tomorrow morning and then send you to the county town.

After that, you can go wherever you want. But I have a piece of advice for you. Don't go home. Keep going south. If you can survive this year, I will guarantee that you will be fine."

Du Shaojie couldn't bear it after all, and pointed out something to Yu Mo in person.

Yu Mo understood immediately. She thought of her uncle who was far away in Hong Kong. It would be great if she could find a way to go to him.

That night, Du Shaojie cooked a large pot of braised eggs and dozens of sesame cakes for Yu Mo to take with him on the road. Before dawn the next day, he rode his bike to take Yu Mo to the county town.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t have much luggage, otherwise Chu Xiaowei would have to help.

"Do you like Liwen?"

"Do you think Liwen likes you?"

"I think you two are a good match. A girl three years older than you is a rich girl. Let Liwen give birth to more children for you in the future."

On the way, Du Shaojie was annoyed by Yu Mo's noise, but he didn't say anything, knowing that this was the other party's way of relieving stress.

It’s sad to think about a girl having to flee far away from home.

However, ideals and pursuits are not empty talk, they come at a price.

Yu Mo was successfully sent to the bus station. Outside the bus station, Yu Mo suddenly stepped forward and gently hugged Du Shaojie, who was not at all prepared.

"Let's go, chef!"

Yu Mo then turned around and walked into the station, never looking back.

Du Shaojie felt that she was not a person of this era, and hoped that she could escape the disaster. Then, he rode his bike back to the farm and arrived just in time for breakfast.

After dinner, he returned the borrowed bicycle and then returned to the cafeteria to officially take up his post.

"Sister Li, you are still in charge of the business that I left before I left, and the same goes for Aunt Qin."

As soon as he got to work, Du Shaojie re-divided the work among Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang. They continued to do what they did before. As long as he was on the farm, those people in the canteen would have no chance of causing trouble.

After get off work at noon, Li Guixiang went to find Lin Zuo and told him what happened in the cafeteria before.
