Chapter 408: A Play Within a Play: Confined to Day and Night (3)
When Lin was three and a half years old, Ji Shanhai was twenty-six years old.
The little milk dumplings grew up day by day, and when they were old enough to be sent to kindergarten, Lin Xiaonian began to look for a job.
She has neither education nor work experience, but fortunately, she looks like a peugeot, and her talking peach blossom eyes are bent to look friendly and friendly.
Lin Xiaonian's first job was at the counter of a cosmetics counter.
During the induction, she quietly recorded what the manager said, and memorized every important and unimportant detail that night. She was the least educated of the interns in the same period, but she was the only one who stayed.
From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., she stood for ten hours in a skirt and on high heels as thin as an awl.
After getting off work, she had to rush to the kindergarten to pick up Lin day and night, and when she got home, she kicked off her shoes and got some food for herself and her children, and then rushed to the next place of work.
She works two jobs at the same time, working four days a week at night, going to work at 8 o'clock and leaving work at 12 o'clock, sorting couriers at a logistics company.
The boss of the logistics company saw that she was thin and weak, and there were not a few taels of meat on her arms, so she didn't want her, but Lin Xiaonian's tearful peach blossom eyes stared at him, and the boss sighed and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, the salary is paid daily, come to work on time tomorrow." ”
Lin Xiaonian was busy with work, and the girl in her early twenties was running around for a living every morning, her soft and slender hands lost their luster, and her black and white eyes were full of red bloodshots. And her classmates are still sitting carefree in the university classroom, and they are only making a choice between graduate school entrance examination and employment.
But Lin Xiaonian doesn't regret it, they have a bright future, but she is not bad, she has a lovely child.
Fortunately, Granny Qian, who lives next door, is a kind person, and she will come over to help take care of Lin Tianye when Lin Xiaonian needs to work the night shift.
The end time of the cosmetics counter is six o'clock in the evening, which is exactly the same as the time when Lin Tianye kindergarten gets out of school, fortunately, the distance is not far, if Lin Xiaonian rushes over after work, Lin Tianye only needs to wait for half an hour at the entrance of the kindergarten.
But today seems to be late.
The sunset kissed the horizon, converging the flamboyant colors, the sky darkened little by little, and the dim street lamps "snapped" one after another, but still did not appear.
It was already half past seven, and Lin Xiaonian was already more than an hour and a half late.
The kindergarten teacher hurriedly paced at the door, Lin Tianye was a small one, she neither cried nor made trouble, and sat in the shadows of the street lamp with her wilting and counting ants.
"When the hell is your mom coming to pick you up?"
The kindergarten teacher frequently raised her wrist to look at her watch, complaining angrily that she was supposed to go out on a date with her boyfriend at night, but as long as there was one child who was not picked up by the parents, she couldn't get off work.
Lin was muffled and silent, and his long bangs covered his eyes.
Lin Xiaonian was too busy to cut her bangs.
"Your mother is not here yet?" The kindergarten teacher saw that she had missed the appointment, and her stomach was full of anger on the child who had caused her to miss the appointment, and she pretended to scare her by saying, "Don't wait, your mother definitely doesn't want you." ”
Lin shook his head stubbornly: "Mom won't lie, she will definitely come." ”
The kindergarten teacher rolled her eyes, wondering if the kid was a little silly.
"What's your mother's phone number?"
Lin shook his head blankly.
"Where's Daddy?"
The nose and eyes of the little milk ball were red all at once, and there was a pool of tears in the black grape-like eyes.
The kindergarten teacher snorted and stomped his feet: "Don't let people get off work." ”
She knows what's going on at Lin Daynight's house, a young single mother with a child alone, it seems that eighty percent of them are still unmarried and pregnant, and they are desperately working as cheap workers day and night, either leaving their children at home or in kindergarten.
There is no worse mother than this, she slanders without empathy, if you can't raise a child, don't give birth.
Lin was still silent day and night, she hugged her knees and curled herself up smaller.
At that moment, the blinding headlights pierced the dimly lit street, and a Maserati "creaked" to the entrance of the kindergarten.
The car door opened, and out of it was a man in a suit and leather shoes.
He strode in front of Lin Tianye in three or two steps, retreated half a step and squatted down.
Lin ran out with a small schoolbag on his back day and night, firing it into the man's arms like a small cannonball, and wiped the snot and tears from his face with his expensive blazer.
The man's voice was like a deep cello, and he gently patted Lin Tianye's back and explained in her ear in a low voice: "I'm sorry Tianye, there was a little accident at my mother's counter today. ”
There was a lady who bought the lotion that was allergic to her face, so she came back with a big fight, and she neither returned it nor complained, but just made a lot of noise, and the posture was eager to smash the whole storefront.
The manager turned his head to check and found that the bottle of lotion was sold by Lin Xiaonian's hand, so he lowered his face and prepared to be held responsible. She desperately bowed and apologized, almost begging the manager not to fire her.
Lin Xiaonian bent down and begged for half an hour before the manager reluctantly agreed to her to stay, and her daughter was waiting for her at the entrance of the kindergarten, waiting from sunset to the moon.
"I'm here to take you home. Ji Shanhai said, holding the child up with one hand.
The little milk ball lay in his arms and let out a soft "um", finally stopping the tears.
She called "Uncle Ji" sullenly, her voice was small and milky.
The kindergarten teacher originally thought it was her father, but after hearing this small "Uncle Ji", her expression became very strange again.
Ji Shanhai hugged the child and bowed slightly to the kindergarten teacher: "The child's mother didn't have time to come over because she was delayed, and I am really sorry to cause you trouble." ”
The kindergarten teacher's gaze quickly swept over the man's car, the suit on his body, the watch on his wrist, and the shoes on his feet, and then his previous impatient attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
She nodded with a small face and said, "Whereever, this is what I should do......"
Ji Shanhai seemed to have left all his worries and tenderness to the child he was holding in his arms, he bowed his head again expressionlessly, and turned his head away without talking nonsense.
The kindergarten teacher watched the Maserati leave with squinted eyes.
"It's a good fortune that a second-hand person with a child can still be next to such a good man. ”
