In the provincial capital, I finally got a job.

A restaurant's job advertisement reads, "Recruit waiters, basic salary plus commission 2,300, including room and board." ”

I pushed the door open and entered.

The owners are a couple in their early forties.

The store is not large, with more than a dozen tables.

There are home-cooked dishes, dumplings, ramen, and rice noodles.

"Do you know how to cook?"

"Yes. ”

"Can you endure hardship?"

"Yes. ”

I'm not talking nonsense, when I'm at home, I do all the housework.

"Try it for a week, take care of food and housing, but don't get paid. After the probationary period, the salary is 1200, just do it, and pull it down. The boss said to me while picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"Isn't it 2300?" I asked cautiously.

"That's plus a commission! Now you're a new waiter, and you don't contribute anything, can you get a commission? But don't worry, we'll talk about it later. "The owner said casually.

I can see that this is perfunctory to me.

Any commission is a matter of no shadow.

But I'm not qualified to pick and choose right now, and the most important thing is to stabilize first.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Do you have an ID card? I want to register. "The boss stretched out his hand and asked me for my ID.

I froze.

At this time, I realized a very serious problem.

I don't have an ID on me.

The ID card is still in my old home.

When I changed relatives, I didn't take them with me at all.

In the countryside, no one cares if you have an ID card or not.

But in the provincial capital, it's different.

Seeing me like this, the boss was shy: "You can't do it without an ID card, someone on it will check it, then we don't dare to use you." ”

I had no choice but to apologize and leave.

"Wait a minute. But the lady called out to me.

I stopped.

"There's nothing wrong with you, is it?"

"I don't have it, it's just that I forgot my ID card in my hometown. ”

"First time working in the city?"

"Hmm. ”

"Hey, look at you girl, it's pitiful, so let's do it here, if I have a good heart. Be smart, if someone asks you about your ID card, you just say that the bus was stolen, do you know?" the proprietress instructed.

"Yes. I nodded gratefully.

Because I don't have an ID card, it's not only difficult to find a job here, but also to go somewhere else.

"Do a good job, don't waste a piece of my hard work. The proprietress said.

When the boss saw that the proprietress accepted me, she obviously had some different opinions, and muttered in a low voice on the side: "That's not suitable, isn't it......?"

"Don't talk nonsense, listen to me!" the proprietress interrupted the boss with a glare.

I can see that this family is headed by the boss, and the boss is obviously afraid of his wife.

I'm more relieved.

At the very least, with the boss lady watching, the boss won't have any crooked thoughts about me, right?

"Don't be stunned, how can you do it if you don't have work in your eyes? Wipe all the tables and chairs first, and then go to the back kitchen to get started, whether it's boiling water or picking vegetables, you can't be idle. ”

The hostess called the shots.

I hurriedly started to get up.

The boss is settling accounts.

The proprietress sat alone and ate melon seeds.

She looked at me and suddenly asked, "Aren't you pregnant?"

I paused: "No, I'm not pregnant." ”

The proprietress smiled: "Then you are a little girl, why are you in such a figure? Do you like to eat secretly at home? I can warn you, although I am a restaurant, but not your canteen." Do you have to know the rules of your hands and feet?"

I nodded, in understanding.

I also don't wonder why this boss lady would mistake me for being pregnant.
