As soon as school ended at noon on Monday, several children from No. 2 Middle School ran all the way across the bridge to Liujia Hotel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother Liu, where is the work we need to do?"

When they arrived, Wang Hongying also happened to be looking at the door, and after listening to the children's questions, he smiled and took them to the yard, and pointed out to them the greens to be washed and the leeks to be picked: "That box is leeks, do you know?"

"Yes, Auntie!"

The kid who replied was from the city, and now he was proud to respond to the acquaintance, but in fact, he really didn't know him before last night. He said goodbye to the principal yesterday and went home directly, and told his parents that the principal had helped him find odd jobs for several of their classmates who were not living well at home. I also taught him how to pick and choose (here is picking when picking vegetables, picking out the bad ones and throwing them away.) It's not a picky pick and choose to buy vegetables) leeks, coriander, chicken hair, shallots, these small dishes that require patience, and when he gets home, he teaches him how to wash vegetables and dishes so that they can be washed quickly and cleanly. So, he's standing here today and he's confident that he'll be able to do this job well.

Several rural children snickered when they listened to Liu's mother's questioning. Indeed, when the educated youth went to the countryside, the joke that they couldn't tell the difference between leeks and wheat was so popular that it was almost impossible to find people who didn't know the joke.

Although the other city children were smiling and silent, it could be seen from their calm and unhurried attitudes that they all had short-term training before doing work. Wang Hongying has a good impression of the parents of these children, at least he can see that the parents of these children are all people who want to be good. It's not the kind of lazy person who loves to do things and has no intention of living a good life.

Before Wang Hongying entered the kitchen, he called Xie Shoujiang (Xie Chenglu's eldest son) to the courtyard and led these middle school students to choose and wash vegetables.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old children were full of curiosity, and when they saw that several baskets of vegetables had to be washed, they asked Xie Shoujiang in surprise: "Brother Xie, does Liu's mother's restaurant use so many dishes at noon?"

Xie Shoujiang shook his head with a smile: "This dish is to be used at night, and the noon one has been sent away, two more baskets than this." ”

"Sent away?"

Xie Shoujiang saw that these students didn't seem to know about the fact that Liu's restaurant had contracted two construction sites to provide food, so he explained: "In the southwest of your school, there are not two construction sites, one is to build a building and the other is to build a station, and their workers are all catering in our restaurant. ”

The two construction sites did not pack meals at Liujia Restaurant at the beginning, they both had their own canteens. Some people are in the same place or a group of people from the village and the family, and when they come to Liu's restaurant to eat together, they also order food together, and then share it with each other. After a long time, I found that ordering food and eating at Liu's house was good, full and cheap, which was actually more cost-effective than eating in the canteen of the construction site. Then they invited each other and went to Liu's restaurant every day to order food together.

The workers all went to Liu's restaurant to eat, and the construction site canteen was actually equivalent to furnishings. The leaders of the construction site simply negotiated with Liujia Hotel, three yuan a day, and three meals a day were contracted to Liujia Hotel. Liu Yujin can be a man, and he didn't mention giving others a little profit, but he took the initiative to add a supper to them. The people working on the construction site are tired and consumed quickly, and there are not a few people who wake up hungry in the middle of the night. I heard that the leaders ordered a package meal for them, as well as a supper, and praised the leaders of the construction site one by one with a thumbs up, and they were much more energetic in their work. This made the leaders of the two construction sites unexpected, and the supper made them happier than the profit.

When a few middle school students heard that people from the two construction sites were here to make meals, they were all surprised to close their mouths. There are 500 workers at the two construction sites, and each person earns 5 cents per head, and he earns 250 yuan a day!

(Don't look at the Liu family's quick money, I think that there is generally a lot of money at this time.) In fact, at this time, the normal wage of workers was only about 100, and those who earned more were 18 or 200, and those who earned less were only forty or fifty. However, because food stamps no longer dominated, it was natural that grain and other things flooded the market at high prices, and the prices of grain, vegetables, and meat were much higher than the normal wage income at that time. It's just that I have always been very strange that the price of food at this time, all prices after inflation, and housing prices in the 21st century are far higher than the normal income in the same period. But the strange thing is that people's lives have not been affected by this strange phenomenon)

The children's minds are very simple, and there are not so many distortions! They are not jealous of the fact that the Liu family can earn a lot of money, but through the fact that the Liu family can earn money, they see the hope of being able to live a good life in the future. For the current state of poverty and insufficient food, I am no longer so depressed or hopeless.

Wang Hongying's observation is quite accurate, rural children don't need to be taught, and many things can be done. The children in this city are probably all urgently trained, and they do things one by one, although they are not as skilled as the rural children, but they can also get started one by one, and they don't need Xie Shoujiang to teach them.

The children were talking happily and doing things at the same time, and it felt like time was passing very quickly. They felt that they hadn't been doing much time before, and someone over there shouted that it was time for them to hurry up and go back to school.

Lunch is four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. In addition to being able to eat a few good dishes during the Chinese New Year, more than a dozen children usually eat pickles and vegetables, and even eggs are rarely eaten. Surprised by this treatment, they all thought that it was likely to be a dish and a bowl of rice, which would allow them to eat all-you-can-eat.

"Wow, these dishes are all served in pots, can we eat them all?"

The so-called half-sized child eating poor man is not a joke. This kid, who suspected that he couldn't finish eating, buried his head and stuffed down three bowls of rice silently, and he didn't know how many dishes, so he knew that his chopsticks had not stopped. In the end, even the vegetable soup in the basin was smeared with rice and scraped clean.

"Damn! I'm holding on!"

"Haha! Me too!"

"I've eaten the most today!"

"I should have eaten the most, I made four big bowls!"

"Ahh

The boys rubbed their swollen chests one by one, you and I said a word, and the big eyes squeezed the small eyes to tease the boring people and find fun.

When they come back in the evening, they don't need to be brought by others, and they can just get started doing things themselves. Seeing that there were still a lot of dishes in the big basin in the yard that had not been washed, he immediately separated three people to wash the dishes.

Wang Hongying happened to come out of the kitchen, and saw that they had already entered the yard, and the three children had already started to wash the dishes, so he greeted with a smile: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, are you hungry?" ”

"You're welcome, Mother Liu, let's do things first, and then eat when it's time. When you go back after eating, you can digest and digest on the way. ”

"As long as you are not afraid of hunger, you can eat when you are busy. ”

It's not the skewer season yet, so you can't wash the greens too early, or they'll rot the next day. As a result, there were not as many things in the evening as at noon, and the children washed the dishes for an hour and stopped to eat after a few scattered vegetables.

At noon, several children wiped all the soup in the basin with rice, Wang Hongying thought that there was less cooking at noon, and the dishes in the evening had increased some portions. As a result, several children couldn't finish eating, but they were all stunned by the leftovers, and they were really reluctant to throw away the leftovers.

Qin Jinming thought for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen, and saw that Liu's mother was busy stir-frying and waited quietly. When Wang Hongying finished frying a dish and put it on the plate, she found that the child who didn't have to go into the kitchen came in, and she knew that she might have something to look for. After finishing the plate, he put down the pot and frying spoon, approached Qin Jinming and asked, "Do you have something to look for me?"

Qin Jinming nodded, and asked Mother Liu a little embarrassed: "Mother Liu, we haven't finished the dinner in the evening, can I take some home?"

"Yes, yes! Ask any of your classmates if they want to take home for supper? If they don't, you can take them all. If you need to bring rice, put some in the pot. ”

This child's family situation, according to Principal Meng, is very bad, very bad! As long as this child does not refuse to help, she is still happy to help.
