It's been two months since school started, and the business is gradually on the right track, under the guidance of Tong Tong's fine (pao) heart (xiao) finger (pi), the eldest lady Qian Qianqian is finally like a formal worker, and her meticulous demeanor towards work is like a boy who is extremely committed to playing games, Tong Tong is very pleased.

Qian Qianqian's home is a two-hour drive from Hong Kong City, and it turns out that she goes home on weekends, and after working, she has no time to go back, even if Tong Tong takes her vacation, she is not willing to leave. She said that her mother was too lenient and she was uncomfortable going back.

She added: "I don't know if other single mothers are like this, anyway, my mother is worried about me all day long, worried about losing me, and she can't be more careful." Even though I was almost twenty years old, she didn't dare let me eat kernel food, and she was so nervous when I ate it. Like winter dates and pomegranates, she has to tell me many times, be careful of the pits inside. ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid I'll get stuck in my throat and get stuck. ”

“......”

This is a typical overprotection, Tong Tong smiled bitterly: "If I can get one-tenth of your love, I will be content." ”

"Are your mom and dad bad for you?"

Tong Tong touched her head: "Little girl, don't touch too many dark things, be healthy and positive, this is the best." ”

This series of words and deeds really looks like a big brother.

was touched by her big brother, Qian Qianqian was so happy that she was about to go to heaven.

When she was in college, Qian Qianqian's mother came to Hong Kong City to see her several times, and Qian Qianqian was very annoyed about it. She said that when she was in high school, she most hoped to be admitted to the ends of the earth and get rid of her mother's shackles, but going to university in Hong Kong City was already the farthest distance that her mother could accept. Mom categorically did not allow her to study abroad, even if it was Japan and South Korea, which were close at hand. If Qian Qianqian went abroad, she would definitely lose her soul and lose sleep all night.

Although Qian Qianqian didn't like her mother's restraints, she couldn't bear to worry her mother. "So I have to save my own money and show her that I have the ability to stand on my own feet," she said. If she doesn't give me money, I'll have to work on my own! I must go to South Korea to study film! I want to make really awesome movies in the future!"

Tong Tong snorted and laughed.

Qian Qian Qian turned into a little tiger and said fiercely: "Are you questioning my dream?!"

"Sort of!"

“......”

"Do you know how much it costs to study abroad, do you know the prices in Korea, do you know that you have to freeze at least $10,000 in fixed deposits for studying abroad?"

......

Qian Qianqian turned into a child, and her mind was full of small question marks.

Tong Tong patted her head again: "Little girl, it's good to have dreams, but the most important thing is to be down-to-earth." You're a sophomore in college, and you don't even know the process of studying abroad, you say, can I not question your learning ability?"

Qian Qianqian was speechless, and she wanted to defend herself, her learning ability was not bad, but she had never lacked money, let alone worried about the money for studying abroad. But after thinking about it, it was indeed her failure to do her homework, and Tong Tong's criticism was right.

So, she said sincerely: "I was right to come to work, you taught me a lot of things." ”

Tong Tong was stunned and suspended the work in his hand. Seven years ago, on the day he filled in the volunteers, an eldest brother told him to find his own direction and become his own beacon, and then become a beacon for others.

It's been a long time, but there are some things he never forgets.

After Qian Qianqian worked, her mother never came to Hong Kong City, but she called Tong Tong and interrogated him—which university graduated, where did you work, why did you go back to Hong Kong City to start a business, why did you choose Qian Qianqian to work in the store? How long do you work every day? Does the shadow not affect Qian Qianqian's study? Is it safe to go back to the dormitory at night?

Qian Qianqian listened beside her, feeling embarrassed for her mother, she bit her fingers and wanted to snatch the phone over, but Tong Tong smiled and coped with the conversation with great patience: "Auntie, I didn't ask Qian Qianqian to come, she wanted to work, so I left her." She works an average of two hours a day, and my shop is right next to her dorm building. As for the shadow does not affect her studies...... Then I should ask her, I can't be the master. ”

Qian's mother wanted to see Tong Tong, but Tong Tong refused: "I really don't have time, I closed the door so early at night just to take care of my father." If you really don't feel at ease, don't let Qian Qianqian come to work. Anyway, she has a strong desire to be self-reliant, and even if she doesn't work with me, she will go out and look for a job. ”

Obediently, this young man is really a combination of rigidity and softness, Qian Qianqian's mother was so angry that she almost let her daughter leave immediately. But Qian Qianqian didn't agree, she really snatched her mobile phone, lost her temper with her mother, and said that if she wasn't allowed to work here, she would go to Haidilao McDonald's KFC as an hourly worker.

Tong Tong didn't know the follow-up of the mother-daughter call, but Qian Qianqian still stayed. She said that in fact, her mother's business is very busy, and she often runs all over the world, probably when she is not busy, she will have the energy to take care of her part-time work!

"Boss, I'm sorry......"

"Why say you're sorry?"

"My mom...... It's a bit rude. ”

Tong Tong smiled heartily and touched her head again: "It doesn't matter, your mother loves her daughter very much, I can understand." ”

Qian Qian was moved when she arrived, and they all said that after a long time, it turned out that he was really a very gentle person!

Tong Tong's gentleness did not end here, he said: "My friend's father has a birthday this weekend, I am going to congratulate him on his birthday, do you want to go with you?"

Huh?

Qian Qianqian thought she had misheard.

Tong Tong said again: "It's the friend's house who brought me food." As I said last time, if you behave well, I'll take you to his house for dinner. Anyway, you're my worker, so you don't need to prepare a birthday gift or anything, just follow me for a meal. If it's a burden, don't go. ”

"No, no, no, I don't have any burden, I'll go!"

Tong Tong smiled gently again and said, "If you have good classmates, you can also bring them together." Their barbecue is not something that can be eaten if you want to, and now you basically have to make a reservation, and if you exceed a certain number of people every day, he won't take it. ”

Qian Qianqian was embarrassed again, she often did not fit in with her classmates because she was too rich, and because she was too well-behaved to fit in with the circle of the rich second generation, in her own words, among the high-minded people, she was very vulgar, but among the vulgar people, she was a little high-minded. She has a very screwed personality and has a hard time making friends.

Tong Tong sighed and no longer embarrassed her.

Father Sun celebrated his birthday, Tong Tong gave him a bottle of wine, Father Sun's eyes lit up, he couldn't put it down, and praised: "This Wuliangye is not cheap, right?"

Tong Tong smiled: "A gift for you, don't feel distressed!"

Father Sun also laughed and said: "I won't be polite to you for the gift you gave—— alas, if your father is in better health, you can still ask him to come out for a meal and drink together." ”

After Tong Tong returned to Hong Kong City, Lao Tong's physical condition was better than before, but he was still very fragile, he couldn't see the wind, and he had no strength to sit for a while. As soon as he was mentioned, everyone was inevitably a little sad. On this festive day, they try to avoid sentimental topics.

Sun Kee barbecue is almost all year round, and on Grandpa Sun's birthday, they are only open until half past eight. After the disappearance of the "happy-stirring stick", the Sun family's business became better, and Tong Tong arrived at the store at five o'clock in the afternoon to help them run back and forth. Mother Sun asked him to rest for a while, but Tong Tong said: "I'm happy to be active, so leave me alone." ”

Someone happened to bring a box of crabs, and Father Sun hurriedly greeted him and handed him a cigarette: "Old Yu, don't leave tonight, let's eat at my house!"

"No, no, I brought my daughter-in-law here, I want to take her shopping, and we will go to the hotel tonight!"

This person named Lao Yu is short in stature, and he looks even shorter in the port city where "big men" are everywhere. Although he is not good-looking, his clothes are clean. Although he did physical work, he looked refreshing.

Tong Tong observed him, and referred to what he had just said, and finally came to the conclusion that this old man had a very close relationship with his wife, and his wife should be a very virtuous and caring person.

Sun Chengcai turned him with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Why do you always like to stare at others now?"

"Do I have it?" Tong Tong touched the back of his head suspiciously: "What kind of habit is this?"

Lao Yu's smile was very honest, saying that these crabs had just been hit, and they were quickly ordered by several restaurants. Sun Chengcai greeted him in advance, and he deliberately reserved a few of the biggest ones. Lao Yu said: "Today is your fiftieth birthday, and this crab will be given to you as a gift." Tell you, others don't have this treatment. ”

Father Sun couldn't accept his gift in vain, and insisted on keeping him two for dinner, but Lao Yu said that his wife was very afraid of life, so forget it. The two tugged at each other, and Lao Yu hurried out, almost tripping over.

Tong Tong kept staring at him, watching him get into the blue pickup truck, and vaguely saw his wife's face. This time it was Father Sun who patted him on the shoulder: "Tong Tong, do you know him?"

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen him. ”

"From the moment he walks in, you stare at him like a police officer looking at a suspect. ”

Tong Tong shook his head and prevaricated: "I have to change this bad habit, it's rude to stare at people!"

Father Sun didn't say anything more, but Tong Tong was in a trance, and heard Ami joking with Sun Chengcai: "When we are all old, it would be good if you could treat me like Lao Yu did to his daughter-in-law." ”

Tong Tong heard Ami say that every time Lao Yu came to the city to deliver goods, he always had to pack some delicious food and bring it back to his daughter-in-law. His phone screensaver is a picture of his daughter-in-law, which he is more than happy to show to others. In short, among ordinary manual laborers, there are few who show affection so high-profilely, and Ami is very envious of his daughter-in-law.

Sun Chengcai said: "Do you believe that Lao Yu and her daughter-in-law are really good?

"I'm not in good health, I can't give birth, maybe people don't want it?"

"Hmph, I don't think so. This old man must be licking his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law may not necessarily look down on him. ”

Tong Tong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. By eight o'clock, the people were almost gone, the dishes were ready, and Qian Qianqian also came. She really came alone and brought a lot of fruit. She said that she could not come to eat empty-handed.

This is a girl who knows how to be polite. Sun Chengcai teased her, whether she has any special relationship with Tong Tong, Tong Tong preemptively said: "The little girl is from out of town, and she is introverted, I will take her out to eat something delicious and let her feel the excitement, that's all." ”

Mother Sun sandwiched a big crab for her, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to go to school outside, so I'll come to eat more when I get familiar with it in the future, and my aunt will make something to eat for you." If you're still in school, don't buy anything. ”

"Hmm!"

Qian Qianqian likes Sun's mother, and on the way back to school, she made no secret of her good impression of Sun's mother. She said, kind and kind, this is what a mother looks like. "It's not like my mother, don't look at my mother who loves me, but she often scolds and scolds, and she is cruel to employees, and sometimes she is in a bad mood and scolds me together. ”

"Mother Sun is a virtuous helper, your mother is a strong woman, and you are not too young, you have to understand your mother more. ”

Qian Qianqian didn't understand why he was talking for his mother, she looked at her phone and said, "I'll take a taxi and go back to school by myself, you don't have to send me." ”

"You're still a student, I have to send you back to be at ease. ”

Qian Qianqian's heart was overjoyed, and Tong Tong looked at the sky with some sadness. This little girl must not have known that many years ago, in a similar season, a female teacher was also walking down this street and insisted on sending him home. She said that she is a teacher, he is a student, and it is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure the safety of the student.

So, he lived to this point unharmed, while she had long since fallen asleep.
