Chapter Seventy-Four: Memories of the Snow [1]
Three years ago, S City.
There are familiar figures left on the familiar streets, just on Heilong Street, there is a restaurant called Heilong, the small restaurant has a shabby appearance, Cheap, just looking at the appearance has provoked many people's spitting, the sound of abuse surrounds the left and right of the restaurant, turbulent waves, almost everyone who is close to this place immediately chooses to take a detour, they are not able to eat in this kind of place, because the environment here is extremely poor, the location is also biased, it is a place where hooligans and gangsters often gather, but here, it is the predecessor of the Heilong Bar founded by Mu Lingxi in the future.
In Heilong's restaurant, the sound of the faucet is ringing in the dining pool, Xiaoxue is picking up the plate with both hands and starting to wipe it clean with a towel, the foam during the meal washing is piled up in a whole pool, Xiaoxue holds the plate and shakes her wrist slightly, her eyes are empty, she has no intention of washing, although she wants to be lazy, but she can't do it, the pressure of life is like a mountain pressing on her.
"Smack!"
The plate slid down the smooth palm and fell to the ground, and in an instant, the sound of the plate breaking spread throughout the room and beyond, and there was no noise in the unmanned restaurant, so the crisp and harsh sound was heard very clearly.
At this moment, a fat and tall old woman gradually came outside the door of the house, only to see that the woman's face was suddenly dark, and her fierce appearance and bad mood were displayed in front of Xiaoxue, she didn't expect that she was just taking a nap, and the only worker she hired had such a moth.
"Hey, what's the matter with you chick?!It's only been a few days of work?!You don't want to do it here?!If you don't want to do it, then hurry up and pack up the bed, roll up, get out of here, and leave!!Where did you come from here?!How dare you throw my plate?!!"
The woman's angry words made Xiaoxue feel excited, only to see her keep shaking her body, lowering her head, trembling and guilty in a low voice: "Yes, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I won't do this next time." ”
Xiaoxue's unconfident words obviously couldn't convince the woman, but it was already like this, the plate was already broken, and the woman was unwilling in her heart, but she had to give up.
"Cut. The woman spoke with disdainful contempt, and then said viciously to Xiaoxue: "The broken plate will be deducted from your salary, which is equivalent to your performance after four days of work, and your current income is a total of minus five hundred yuan." ”
When the words fell, Xiaoxue was surprised, she couldn't believe it, and then said lightly: "Five hundred yuan?"
The woman smiled at this time, gritted her teeth and said close to Xiaoxue's face: "You heard it wrong, it's - minus! Five hundred yuan!." ”
"Got it?!"
The categorical words fell, Xiaoxue suddenly fell to the ground limply, how could there be a situation where she had to pay backwards after working for four days, although five hundred yuan was not much, but it was also a lot for her to support herself, and it was just a broken plate, how could she pay so much money.
"Then, that ......" Xiaoxue wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by the latter.
"Shut up! I'm going to sleep, you do my job!"
As the words fell, the woman quietly left here, leaving Xiaoxue alone in her ignorance to wash the dishes.
At this time, no matter how stupid Xiaoxue is, no matter how stupid she is, she should feel it, it seems that the woman has no intention of giving her a salary at all, and even wants to make some benefits on herself.
Xiaoxue gradually got up and came to the simple seat on the side, she sat slowly, wiped her wet hands with her jacket, and took out a silver-white card from her pocket and stared blankly.
The credit card in her pocket was given to her by the old housekeeper, that is, her father, but Xiaoxue never used this small card once, because she knew that what was stored in the card was not just money, but the love that her father gave in another way, even if she knew that this kind of love was self-deception and her own imagination, but even so, she hoped that in this way, she could alleviate a trace of emptiness, loneliness, or coldness in her heart.
Xiaoxue kept smiling and stroking the card, even though she was already such a big person, she was still as innocent as a child, even so, but she didn't want to consume her father's love, or even reduce it bit by bit, so she always chose to save the money in the silver card, she didn't know the amount, nor the rights hidden behind the card.
She smirked for a long time, time ticked by minute and second, since she knew that she couldn't make money here, there was no reason and no need to waste time in this kind of place, even so, then go elsewhere to continue working, in short, life is still going on, and optimism can see the long-term.
Xiaoxue gradually took the card back, and she immediately tidied up her appearance, and then cautiously slipped out of the door.
When she came to the door of the restaurant, Xiaoxue suddenly stood still at the door, because the woman in front of her was now lying on the chaise longue sleeping soundly, even though she didn't do anything unfortunate, but she still had the thunderous scolding of the lingering woman, and the seemingly very strong figure.
Xiao Xue pursed the corners of her mouth, and finally mustered a trace of courage the size of a soybean.
Just as she was about to take that step, the woman's loud "ahh
Xiaoxue couldn't help but gasp, her pale face didn't have a bit of ruddyness, and her pounding heart kept hovering up and down her throat.
With a long sigh of relief, Xiaoxue quickly calmed down her mentality, and she smiled faintly, as if she had regained her courage.
As the figure came to the door of the restaurant, Xiaoxue couldn't help but feel happy, it seemed that she had finally escaped now.
Although I wasted four days and had no pay, I was finally relieved.
Xiaoxue slowly took out a ten-dollar bill from her jacket pocket, and then she came to the woman who was sleeping soundly in her dream, she didn't know where she got some courage, but maybe it was more of a conscience.
Xiaoxue put the money on the table next to her, pressed the corner of the banknote with an ashtray, she looked at the restaurant, smiled slightly, like a goodbye, and like a relief, and the reason why she left the ten-yuan banknote there was because she accidentally fell on the table because of her own mistake, it was indeed because of her own mistake, so she thought it was necessary for her own cause, to bury a good result.
