0287 Eat in the cafeteria
Xue Kemei had already thought about Zhao Tiangang coming here to work, and in order to reduce some trouble, she didn't want him to know that Zhao Tiangang was also working here. Thinking of this, she smiled, pretended to be very casual, and said lightly:
"There are so many people who speak in the same tone and voice, what's so strange about this?" After finishing speaking, she secretly observed Liu Chunjiang's reaction while eating.
Liu Chunjiang didn't know what Xue Kemei meant when he said this, he nodded, and he didn't think much about it, so the two of them started talking about other topics again.
At this time, the two of them didn't notice that at this time, in a corner not far from the door of the restaurant, Zhao Tiangang was also sitting there alone eating food.
At this dinner table, because he is new and doesn't know anyone, the workers here are all good friends or people who know each other, sitting together, everyone is eating together, talking and laughing, and some even joke with each other, and the atmosphere is very lively.
Only his table was deserted, and no one sat down with him to eat.
Of course, Zhao Tiangang has already adapted to this. Although, he was also a person who liked to be lively back then. However, since he escaped from prison, he has become wary of others at every turn, for fear that he will be recognized by others. Therefore, when he was in the cement factory in Hexi County, he was already used to living alone.
At this time, although Zhao Tiangang's face was not facing Liu Chunjiang and Xue Kemei, his ears were alertly listening to every conversation between the two of them.
When he heard the words that Xue Kemei had just said to Liu Chunjiang, he began to figure out the psychology of the two in his heart.
Listening to it, he couldn't help but think of those times in the past, and for a while he felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that until now, he was no longer afraid of the police coming to arrest him, but he still had to endure such loneliness and loneliness here.
At this time, no one noticed that Juanjuan didn't know when she quietly appeared at the door of the company's restaurant.
Since today is Teacher's Day and the school is on holiday for half a day, she did not eat at school at noon, and left the school after class. After that, I came to my mother's company and wanted to see it. In the past, when she had nothing to do, she often came here to find her mother.
When she came to the company, it was already noon, and she knew that it was time to eat, so she came to the cafeteria.
As soon as she entered the door, because the dining table where Zhao Tiangang was sitting and eating happened to be not far from the door, and Zhao Tiangang was still facing the door, as soon as Juanjuan entered the door, she found her father Zhao Tiangang at first sight.
She was about to shout, but suddenly, she noticed that her father's place seemed to be a little different from other dinner tables, and when she looked closely, she realized that her father was sitting there alone, eating lonely.
Juanjuan's heart is very meticulous, she looked at her father Zhao Tiangang's expression, it seemed that her face was a little sad, and Juanjuan also found that at the table where her father Zhao Tiangang was sitting, the big dining table seemed very empty, in front of her father, there was only a bowl of soup and a tea jar, and the tea jar lid was still placed on the dining table in turn, and there was only a steamed bun on it. Nothing for the rest.
At this time, Zhao Tiangang was holding half a steamed bun in his hand, frowning, eating the soup, bowing his head and silently chewing the steamed bun in his mouth.
Obviously, because Zhao Tian had just started work, the tableware for eating had not yet had time to prepare, and he had not yet made any money, and he did not have much money on him, so he just bought two steamed buns at the window and a bowl of soup, and ate the steamed buns with the soup.
Juanjuan was sad for a while.
She raised her eyes and looked at the other tables, the workers in these restaurants, at this time, everyone was happily gathered together, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very lively. Moreover, on other people's tables, all kinds of large and small tableware are placed on a table, and all kinds of meals in the bowl are also hearty. At the dinner table, there are still a lot of leftovers that cannot be eaten.
Juanjuan saw it in her heart, and suddenly covered her right hand in her mouth.
At this time, her heart felt like she had been stabbed hard by a knife, and it was extremely painful. If it weren't for the fear of being seen, she would have almost burst into tears.
At this time, it happened that Liu Yingying raised her head, and she saw Juanjuan standing at the door of the restaurant at a glance, she immediately stood up, waved her hand, and shouted:
"Juanjuan, are you here? Come in, your mother is eating here. ”
As soon as Xue Kemei heard Liu Yingying shouting Juanjuan, she immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand, and when she looked back, it was her daughter Juanjuan standing at the door, she stood up happily, walked quickly to Juanjuan's side, and said to her:
"Juanjuan, why are you here? Didn't you eat at school at noon today? It just so happened that Mom bought you some meals that you like to eat. With that, she led Juanjuan to Liu Chunjiang, and then walked to the window to buy food by herself and bought food for her daughter.
"Juanjuan, are you here? During this time, your health is okay?" Liu Chunjiang saw Juanjuan, and he also asked with concern.
Juanjuan nodded in a complicated mood, she looked in front of her, she saw that on the table of her mother and stepfather, there were two vegetable bowls that they had eaten, and the vegetable basins were full of leftover meat dishes, in addition, there were some egg skins on the table,—— obviously, the two of them ate much more hearty than her father Zhao Tiangang.
Juanjuan's heart was even more uncomfortable. She lowered her head.
"Come, Juanjuan, Mom bought you your favorite shredded pork with Beijing sauce, as well as your favorite meat buns, eat it quickly, if it's not enough, Mom will buy it for you." Xu Kemei had already come back from buying food at this time, and she said to her daughter with concern while placing the food she had just bought on the table.
"Mom, I'...... I don't want to eat today,...... Can't eat it. ”
Juanjuan felt a little uncomfortable for a while because she saw the scene at the dinner table just now when her father Zhao Tian saw the meal her mother put in front of her.
"What's the matter, are you a little uncomfortable?" Xue Kemei didn't know what was going on in her daughter's heart, she looked at her daughter and asked puzzled.
Liu Chunjiang also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Juanjuan with concern.
"You two eat it well, I don't want to eat it......" After saying that, she turned her face away so that her mother would not see the tears on her face.
At this time, Zhao Tiangang had obviously seen his daughter Juanjuan, and he also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Juanjuan blankly.
Xue Kemei didn't know what was wrong with Juanjuan, and was about to ask further, how do you know, Juanjuan was afraid that her mother would ask again, so she stood up and walked outside the restaurant, when she walked in front of her father Zhao Tiangang, it just so happened that Zhao Tiangang also stared at her blankly, as soon as the eyes of the two people met, Juanjuan's tears finally couldn't stop, and they flowed down her face, she gritted her teeth, turned around and ran out quickly towards the door.
"Oops......"
Who knew that Juanjuan had just run to the door, at this time, the door flashed, and it happened that a person was about to go inside, because Juanjuan's running speed was very fast, as a result, Juanjuan knocked down the person who was about to go inside......
"Right...... Sorry ......"
Juanjuan saw that she knocked the person in front of her to the ground, hurriedly stepped forward, helped the person up, and looked at it, she was stunned, it turned out that the person who was knocked down by herself was Yang Ziqi.
“…… Ah, it's you, I'm sorry, Auntie, did you fall and hurt yourself......" Juanjuan said to Yang Ziqi apologetically.
Yang Ziqi was held by Juanjuan's hand and stood up, she looked at the reckless girl in front of her, and cried out in surprise:
"It doesn't matter,...... We haven't seen each other for a long time, we haven't seen each other for a few years, and you're so tall now, I almost didn't recognize you...... What, you're done eating?"
"Oh,...... Not yet, some don't want to eat ......" Juanjuan smiled at her embarrassedly, because she knocked Yang Ziqi down, so, she was embarrassed to run again, she helped pat the soil on Yang Ziqi's body, and was about to leave, at this time, Xue Kemei also ran out, she saw Yang Ziqi, and hurriedly asked with concern:
“…… How's it going, it doesn't matter if it hurts to fall, right?"
"It's okay, Sister Xue, Juanjuan said that she didn't want to eat, is it a little uncomfortable? Or is the food in the cafeteria not delicious?"
Because of listening to Juanjuan's words just now, Yang Ziqi couldn't help but have some questions about the food in the cafeteria.
"Oh, no...... It's not that the food in the canteen is bad, it's that I don't have an appetite......" Juanjuan knew that if the food in the canteen was not delicious, the staff in the canteen must be unhappy, so she attributed the responsibility for not wanting to eat to her own head.
At this time, Liu Yingying also came over, she looked at Juanjuan, and said with concern:
"Since you don't have an appetite, then, Auntie will make you some of your favorite food alone, come on, come to Auntie's dormitory, Auntie will make it for you." ”
Juanjuan has already grown up and is sensible, she immediately waved her hand and said politely:
"Don't bother Auntie, I'm ...... I'm not hungry. ”
At this time, Xue Kemei said to his daughter:
"You still have to go to class in the afternoon, how can you do it without eating? Come on, whatever you want to eat, Mom will make it for you. ”
At this time, Liu Chunjiang also came over, he looked at Juanjuan, and said:
"That is, how can you do it without eating? You can just say what you want to eat. Don't be embarrassed. ”
Juanjuan was a little embarrassed to see so many people looking at her, and she didn't want so many people to look at her, so she said to her mother:
"Or ...... Or I'll just have a bite to eat here. After saying that, she followed her mother into the cafeteria again.
