Chapter 9: It's better to see each other than not to see each other
A day at the snack bar is always busy, and there is no real time to rest.
The sky is still bright, and the pear blossoms are already habitually getting up early. When she faced the rising sun, rode a tricycle to pull back a pile of vegetables and fruits, and unloaded the goods sweatingly, the rest of the helpers in the store began to work one after another.
Everyone was busy with their own work, and no one had the idea of helping her carry it, and she seemed to have long been accustomed to such treatment.
Suddenly, a very beautifully dressed woman circled around the pear blossom a few times, and kept looking, as if she was looking at something.
Pear Blossom put down a large bag of tomatoes in her hand and said politely: "This guest, I'm sorry, you came early, and this place hasn't opened yet." ”
The woman slapped Lihua's shoulder suddenly, and exhaled happily, "Oh yes, I didn't expect it to be you, if it weren't for the tone of your speech, I wouldn't have dared to admit it just now." ”
"Uh...... Are you?"
Pear Blossom looked at the woman in front of her, wearing a casual and flowing long dress, long wavy curls, with delicate makeup on her face, looking a little strange and a little familiar, she recognized it for a while, a name stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say anything, "You are...... That one...... Who's coming? Let me think about it......."
The woman pretended to be angry and crossed her hands on her hips, "Hmph, you pear blossom, have you forgotten your old friend when you are developed? I'm Chunxiang? You take a good look at me, aren't you?"
"Uh......" Pear Blossom scratched her head and looked at it carefully, the contours of the other party's face changed a lot, and she could still vaguely see a little shadow of the past.
Chunxiang, also a villager from Wantang Village, is about the same age as Pear Blossom. When she was a child, the children in the village would only bully Pear Blossom, and when they saw her, they either threw small stones or recited some ugly nursery rhymes to shame her.
At that time, she had a temper like a tomboy, and if she was not convinced, she would run to those children to fight, and every time she beat them, they cried and called their mother. In the long run, there will be fewer people who bully her.
Chunxiang has a mother with an inappropriate style of life, and she is also a child who grew up being bullied. The difference is that she is timid and never dares to resist, so the brave pear blossom is like a strong backer, so she clings to it tightly.
In the spring, the two of them would go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and in the winter, they would go down to the river to fish, which added many interesting memories of her troubled childhood.
It's rare to meet in such a big city, or a playmate when she was a child, Pear Blossom also said with some joy: "If you don't say that you are Chunxiang, I really don't recognize it at all, right...... You're so beautiful now!
For the praise of pear blossom, Chunxiang was very useful, picked up the skirt and turned around to show off: "Hehe...... Of course, it's good-looking, my outfit is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. And my face, which has just undergone surgery, is it beautiful?"
"It turned out to be plastic surgery!" pears muttered to herself, although she didn't agree with the act of going under surgery for the sake of beauty, she still didn't express her opinion, just nodded reluctantly to express her agreement.
"By the way, did you open this shop? and hired so many helpers, I didn't think Rika was so capable?"
Chunxiang looked up at the mountain grass store, although it is not very big, but the decoration is very clean and tidy, it has the taste of the mountains and countryside, and it is quite comfortable to look at in the reinforced concrete metropolis.
"Poof...... She's just a miscellaneous person, how can she afford to open such a big store, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, hahaha...... I'm really laughing to death!" A middle-aged waiter who was cleaning the glass, clutching his stomach and laughing unscrupulously.
When the rest of the people heard this, they laughed along with the ridicule.
"Wowhaha...... She's just a handyman with an oil bottle, what kind of skills can she have!"
"If she can be the boss lady, the sow can fly, hahaha......"
Rika bit her lip, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable. Anyway, we have been getting along for a few years, although there is not much affection and friendship, but there is no bitter grudge, and she is buried so much in front of people, which makes her heart uncomfortable.
"Is it because I get the least wages that you can look down on people like this?" she sighed with some sadness.
"Oh...... I see!" Haruka's originally enthusiastic face suddenly became indifferent.
Because the work of buying has always been a fat poor, many stores are their own people, and they dare not fake others. She saw Pear Blossom buying ingredients before, and thought she was the proprietress of the proprietor, but it turned out to be just a part-time worker.
"Huh...... Such a lowly identity, saying that it is my friend, it feels really cheap. Chun Xiang thought about it in her heart, and the disgust on her face was unconsciously revealed.
Rika's face became embarrassed, and she said a little perfunctorily: "That...... Chunxiang, I'm sorry, I still have some things to do here, why don't you go sit in the store for a while, and let's have a good chat when I'm free?"
"Uh...... Forget it, the people inside are cleaning, and there is dust everywhere, and I can't stand it. ”
"Come on, when I'm free, I'll introduce you to a few rich bosses and make a lot of money for you!
didn't wait for Pear Blossom to say more polite words, Haruka took out her sunglasses, raised her head high, stepped on thin high heels, and left with a twist of her buttocks.
Rika looked at her back and stood in place in a daze, feeling that the little girl who was playing with her in the mud in her heart was getting lighter and fainter.
This world is like this, no matter how beautiful things are, they can't withstand the ravages of time.
Some people are really not as good as not seeing!
"Hey, what's the wait, can you hurry up, we're still waiting to choose the vegetables." A waiter named Sister-in-law Jin, a little chubby, said impatiently.
Those who played better with her said sarcastically: "What do you see, you just envy it, you can't live such a glamorous life in this life, hurry up, delay us, if the boss lady asks, you are still in trouble." ”
Pear Blossom saw a few women, already sitting at the door with a bench, the melon seed skin in their mouths flying, chatting happily, where there was a work look, it was clear that they were just sitting and supervising her work.
She wasn't angry either, and endured it all. The proprietress has a life-saving grace for her, thinking that if it weren't for the proprietress who generously gave 50,000 yuan to save her, she would have died in the cold hospital with her son. Therefore, she vowed to do her best for ten years in return, and she could not let these little things affect the proprietress in return.
Keeping her word is the foundation of her life. Packing up her mood, Rika continued to carry down the bags of things on the tricycle. These things are very heavy, as little as ten catties, as many as forty or fifty catties, all up to her to carry alone, it is definitely a physical work, even if it is a strong man, it will feel very hard.
However, Pear Blossom has been running all over the mountain by Grandpa since she was a child, and her strength has long been trained greatly, and with these years of exercise, it is also very easy to do.
Finally finished this, she found a few more vegetable boxes, and was about to join the ranks of choosing vegetables, when suddenly a man with a peaked cap on his head and a black mask on his mouth stood around the corner, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, he kept waving to the pear blossoms, making strange gestures, and looked very urgent.
