Chapter 1357: Li Xiang
Hurry up and finish washing these dishes, and hurry up and wash out the dishes over there. I didn't see that you were busy for a while, you are still not moving a little faster, doing things so slowly, be careful that I will deduct your wages. The boss, whose face was full of meat, pointed at Li Xiang, and even took the greasy towel on his shoulder and slapped him twice.
Li Xiang's hands were buried in greasy and dirty water, and the cracks on his fingers were painful.
The boss of the big winter did not let him use hot water at all, and his hands were already frostbitten.
It hurts heartbreakingly, but I also know that if I don't wash these bowls and these things out quickly, I'm afraid the boss won't give him food tonight.
He has been working in this place for half a year.
I came here because of the courage of the moment.
Newspapers, television, including Aunt Feng, they all said how advanced and beautiful the city was at the beginning.
He really came here to know that these beautiful things did exist, but they didn't exist for him.
The money he brought here was not enough to support him in life.
A 14-year-old child is still a minor at all, and he will not be asked to work in a serious place at all.
I can't get my ID card or anything.
No one even rented a house to him.
After a few months of messing around in the station park, there was really no way out, and the money in my pocket had long been gone.
Li Xiang found this boss here.
This boss opened a small restaurant, and the business was good, but the private hotel naturally didn't care so much.
People told him very clearly, including food and housing, only 200 yuan a month.
For him, although this salary is much lower than the salary in the market, you must know that he has no place to use him now.
In order to have enough to eat and have a place to live, he had to work here.
The hotel is not small but the business is good, every day from morning to night, in the morning and early in the morning to get up to sell breakfast, noon is lunch, until 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening to close.
He was the only handyman in the shop.
Almost everything has to dry wash dishes, wash vegetables, sweep the floor, mop the floor, and help clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the tables of the guests outside.
Even when the boss came back from buying vegetables and noodles, he had to carry it inside.
He eats less than others and does more than others, just like that, the boss beats him all day long.
Li Xiang also wanted to get out of here.
But the boss said that the salary can not be paid until the end of the year, and if you don't work until the end of the year, you will not be paid if you want to leave.
He could only endure it, and if he couldn't bear it, he would do it for nothing.
After getting these two thousand yuan, he thought about going back to the provincial capital.
The place of the magic capital looks glamorous, but there is no kindness to him.
After all, the provincial city is where I have lived for more than ten years, and many things are very familiar, at least my classmates and friends are there.
He also wanted to go back and see. What happened to my father and mother?
Although he knew that the two of them must be divorced, he finally wanted to go back, maybe one of his father or mother would let him follow them.
In the days outside, he suddenly realized that he had no skills, he was so young, he had no education, no ID card, and nothing, and it was even more difficult to survive here.
It's like the boss in front of him uses him just to save money.
But these people are so black-hearted, with him only he knows, he works day and night, and he can't even get a little dignity.
He regretted it and wanted to go back to school.
He didn't even graduate from junior high school, and he asked the factories here, and the workers they wanted were all hoping to at least graduate from junior high school.
And the requirement is an adult.
This experience taught him a deep lesson, and he realized how happy the environment he lived in before was, which was created by his mother.
The outside world is not as he imagined, and birds can fly in the open sky.
There is really a limit to what he can do.
Those subtleties that I used to never see in my eyes are suddenly infinitely magnified in my mind.
Mother did everything for them every day, did the laundry, cooked, and every day when they came home, they were waiting for a hot meal.
Clean clothes, even when he goes to school, his mother will prepare for him to go out with the change he needs.
When he was extremely disgusted with his mother, he still didn't complain, and he did all these things well behind him without regrets, including taking care of his two younger sisters.
Fingers numb as he lifted the dishes from the cold water into another pool.
With a slip of the hand, the plate shattered.
He hurriedly crouched down and thought about it, putting the pieces away.
Behind him, on the head, on the back, he was slapped a few times.
"What do you eat? I'm guilty of using you, tell me what you can do but eat. You can still break it for me, can you even break it for me? Do you know how much this bowl costs? If you don't hurry up and clean it up, I'll tell you that this bowl will be deducted from your salary.
Little Red Guy, you were originally Lao Tzu to be kind, but now it's good. I knew if you could eat or dry, and I couldn't ask you for anything I said. ”
The fat boss behind him slapped him a few times with a towel.
Li Xiang's hand hurt, and he saw a piece of porcelain pierced into his palm.
Tears were forced out of his eyes.
But he knew that the boss would never feel sorry for him, because he was injured and asked him not to work.
I swept all the porcelain tiles on the floor into the trash can, then found a random band-aid and put it on my finger, and continued to wash the dishes.
If he doesn't finish today, he won't have anything to eat at night.
Although the boss left leftovers for dinner every day, the boss would not let him eat enough.
Every day, he always finds all kinds of excuses to deduct his rations.
If he doesn't finish all this work now, I'm afraid he will really go to bed hungry tonight.
It's about eating and living, but this is living at the tables in the store, and sleeping on them at night.
To put it bluntly, it's leftovers from the store.
Now he finally understood how good his family was.
Mother cooked them delicious food every day, cleaned up the room, and never had to worry about everything, and now thinking back to the things he hated so much at the beginning, it was now a luxury for him.
Li Xiang was dizzy and wondered why? Why did he feel like he was blind at the beginning, and he only heard what his father, uncle, and aunt said, and never seriously thought about it, and used his brain to think about what his mother had done over the years.
I remember that my mother was always silently guarding their brothers and sisters since she was a child, and she never had any contact with anyone outside, let alone any man.
All the whole heart and soul were put on the three of them.
And what did he repay his mother? It was a vicious scolding, that kind of dismissive sarcastic gaze.
Why didn't the sky thunder and chop him to death as an unfilial son?
