Chapter 9: Memories
In the past, An Yunuo, going to work is going to work, and she will never think about things other than work, now she is still going to work, what to do or what to do, but when she is idle, she always can't help but think that there is someone waiting for her at home, as long as she thinks of Gan Yunting's shallow smile, her smile can't help it, and she laughs with it, one night, she has a smirk on her face, and all the guests who pass by in front of her have the appearance of Gan Yunting.
It's over, it's over, she must be stunned.
When sending the customer out of the convenience store with a smile, An Yunuo suddenly covered his cheek.
Oh my God, what is she doing! I kept thinking about him, how could she be distracted when it was work time?
She shook her head, wanting to throw Gan Yunting's figure out of her mind, the more so, the clearer Gan Yunting's figure became, and later, no matter where she looked at, Gan Yunting's appearance could appear in front of her.
It's over, she must be sick.
Squatting down, she was afraid that her stupid appearance would be seen by the guests, but fortunately, it was not too early, and even if there were guests, they would not be in groups.
Squatting behind the counter, she thought about it for a long time, trying to figure out why she cared so much about Gan Yunting, obviously all their friendships were only in the ignorant childhood, and after junior high school, the two separated for various reasons. Before that, except for pure friendship, there was almost no thought that could be linked to other feelings, why did he care so much about everything about him when he saw him this time?
Could it be that this feeling has existed in her heart for a long time, but she has never been aware of it?
An Yunuo didn't dare to imagine that her feelings for Gan Yunting had originated many years ago, if that was the case, how could she face him calmly and normally after she went home? She didn't think she was a reckless person, but why was all her decisions so impulsive after meeting Gan Yunting?
Impulsive, he actually let a person he didn't know enter his home and his life.
This problem is now unsolvable.
While greeting the guests who entered the door, she was thinking about these things in her head, but fortunately she had good self-control and did not make mistakes in her work, but she forgot to put a straw on the guest's yogurt, which caused the guest to complain.
It's getting late outside, the pedestrians passing by are gradually decreasing, and the customers entering the store are also decreasing.
There was no rain today, and the store was much easier to clean than yesterday, and soon, she cleaned up all the dust accumulated this afternoon, and carefully wiped the floor with a cloth, and then washed her hands, and returned to the back of the counter to wait for customers to come to the door.
When no one was around, she looked at the traffic on the road in front of the door, neon and her thoughts gradually flew away.
An Yunuo's parents passed away when she was very young, and she could only live with her uncle and aunt at a young age, speaking of her uncle as her mother's younger brother, but her uncle never treated her as a family, let alone raised her as a normal girl.
Uncle has a son, two years older than An Yunuo, when An Yunuo went to his uncle's house, it happened to be in time to catch up with the age of school, at that time the aunt excused that the family did not have so much money, could not afford to raise two children who were studying, and detained An Yunuo at home as a long-term worker, followed them every day to plant vegetables, and got up early to go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables.
She also longed to read, looking at those clean peers, carrying brand new schoolbags and bright red scarves around their necks, how could she not be envious, but she didn't dare to say that every time she mentioned reading, she was greeted by a terrible beating and scolding by her aunt.
Gradually, she no longer dared to talk to her aunt about studying, and she no longer had any hope of going to school, like a numb walking corpse, and all her rest time was taken up by heavy work every day.
If it weren't for someone who couldn't look at it and called the police, I'm afraid that in her life, she would fall into the endless labor of reincarnation and never see the light of day.
She still remembers that it was a sunny day, and she was locked in a dark hut by her aunt like a mule, carrying a hemp rope that was tied to her shoulders, and constantly dragging the heavy stone mill, just to grind the beans as soon as possible, so that her aunt could make tofu for her precious son to eat in a while.
This is not the first time she has been locked up in a small dark room to do this kind of thing, since she was able to carry an adult basket on her own, she has replaced the work of a mule, and she has no objection to this arrangement, and she does not dare to have any objections, after all, she can't escape, why should she be beaten and come back to work, it is better to be obedient.
That day, she clenched the hemp rope with difficulty as usual, and stepped on the ground with deep footprints around the stone mill with difficulty, and the rotten slippers under her feet had been worn out by her several holes, and when she walked, the soil on the ground would always drill holes and stick to the soles of her feet, making her very uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to stop and clean up, so she had to go down round and round.
She was breathless from the heavy stone grinding, her shoulders tingled with rough hemp rope, and outside the room, her aunt and uncle chatted in the courtyard eating melon seeds.
"Bang Bang!"
The big iron door that had been closed was knocked on, and the chains hanging on it made a rattling sound, and the two chatting people in the courtyard glanced at each other, and before Xu Xiuying could speak, Li Derong was already short, and quickly got up and opened the door, and responded in his mouth, "It's coming, who's coming, it's early in the morning?"
As he spoke, he unchained and opened the iron door, and when he opened the door, he saw several people standing outside the door, men and women, village cadres, and a few faceless guys.
"Secretary Zhang, this is ......"
He cautiously asked the village cadres in front of him, and kept looking at the strangers behind him, not knowing what these people were doing when they came to his house this early in the morning.
"It's okay for you to say, why don't you open the door quickly and let us in!"
This secretary Zhang is powerful in the village on weekdays, and everyone doesn't dare to have any confrontation with him, when he sees him coming, no one can quickly open the door to greet him, and Li Derong actually dares to let him stand outside the door to reply to him, and there are people behind him watching, if he had put aside the past, he would have already passed.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Derong quickly opened the iron door and welcomed the people outside the door, seeing that Secretary Zhang did not go first, but turned around respectfully, and asked the people behind him to go in with a smile on his face, and the sensible Li Derong immediately guessed that the one behind must be a big official, or the kind of big official that Secretary Zhang couldn't provoke, and immediately had a flattering smile on his face, and led the group of people home.
"Who's coming early in the morning?"
Xu Xiuying was still lying in the recliner and knocking melon seeds, when she heard the iron door open, she asked loudly, she didn't hear Li Derong's answer for a long time, she sat up from the chair with a scolding, picked up the slippers on the ground and threw them in the direction of the door.
