It turned out that after Jiao Xiaojing dropped out of school, she followed a girl from her hometown to the county seat to work. An uneducated rural girl like her could not find any good job, so she had to work as a waitress in a restaurant. The income of the waiters in the hotel is also very low, and no matter how frugal Jiao Xiaojing is, the remaining money is still not enough for her father's medical treatment.

Later, Jiao Xiaojing found out that she was also a waiter in a hotel, but there were a few girls who didn't have to wash dishes and clean up, they served food every day, and they sat there to accompany the guests to eat, but they seemed to be very rich, and their clothes, shoes, and jewelry were changed twice in three days.

Once, Jiao Xiaojing secretly asked the boss what was going on? The boss stared at Jiao Xiaojing, who had a good face, and looked at Jiao Xiaojing, who was quite smart, and said: "Actually, it's very simple, it's not difficult for a woman to make money at all, it depends on what you think." A beautiful face is the capital you make money, Xiaojing, look at you, you are also very smart, and you look very handsome, if you can think about it, I guarantee that you can make a lot of money. ”

Jiao Xiaojing, who was new to the world, didn't understand what was going on between men and women, but she vaguely heard that it was something that was not good, so she didn't ask more. The boss saw that Jiao Xiaojing meant this, and knew that she was very short of money, so he persuaded her to do the work again and again, but Jiao Xiaojing resolutely disagreed.

The boss is an old man, and he knows that young girls are all because they are shy and afraid of embarrassment, so they can't pull down their faces, as long as they break her body, they can say anything.

So the simple Jiao Xiaojing was deliberately drunk by the boss during a meal, and took the opportunity to spoil her.

Jiao Xiaojing, who woke up the next morning, suddenly understood what was going on and thought of going to report the case. As a result, the boss told her that he was actually helping her, and the good days of earning money would begin in the future, and after speaking, he threw him 500 yuan, knowing that it was her salary for three or four months.

Looking at the five "old man's heads" in front of him, and thinking about the difficulties at home, Jiao Xiaojing endured it with tears.

Since then, Jiao Xiaojing has thrown off her self-esteem all of a sudden, learned to flirt with those men who are looking for flowers and willows, learned to flatter and please men, coupled with Jiao Xiaojing's handsome face and graceful figure, she suddenly became the famous "waiter" of the Huancheng Road Hotel.

Just when Jiao Xiaojing gradually lost herself in the temptation of money, a unified operation carefully prepared by the police caught her here.

After listening to Jiao Xiaojing's narration, Xiao Wei was stunned, he couldn't believe that the plot that he usually only saw in books or on TV actually appeared in front of him, and it happened to Jiao Xiaojing, who was so simple and simple at the beginning.

Xiao Wei was secretly determined to save Jiao Xiaojing, who had fallen into the dust.

Yi Qing listened to Xiao Wei's words, thought for a while and said: "If what Jiao Xiaojing said is true, then that boss is already suspected of rape before the crime, but time has passed, and it is difficult to collect evidence now." It is also a fact that Jiao Xiaojing is suspected of prostitution and should be dealt with in accordance with the law. In this way, I will ask the leader for instructions to see if I can take care of it and deal with it lightly. ”

Half an hour later, Yi Qing came back and said: "The leader also attached great importance to Jiao Xiaojing's situation, saying that there might be coercion in it, and it can be opened and detained for a while." And let's move on to finding out what happened to the boss's alleged crime and coercion. Let's go, let her go through the formalities, and she can go. ”

Hearing that the matter was solved so simply, and the formalities were completed after a while, Yi Qing signaled that he could lead Jiao Xiaojing away.

After thanking Yi Qing, Xiao Wei took Jiao Xiaojing to the gate of the police station.

Looking at Jiao Xiaojing, who was thinly dressed, she had nothing with her except a handbag. Xiao Wei asked her, where are you going?

Jiao Xiaojing also lowered her head and thought for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "I'll go back to the hotel and get something first." ”

After going back to the hotel to get something, Jiao Xiaojing recalled the days spent here, and resolutely turned around and left, she never wanted to come back.

It's getting late, and it's impossible to let Jiao Xiaojing go back to Qingfu's home, but where can Jiao Xiaojing go to a girl's house at night?

Xiao Wei thought of Liang Ge, so he had to disturb her.

Xiao Wei used the public phone on the street to call Liang Ge, Liang Ge didn't say a word, put down the phone and rushed over.

In the end, it was a woman who was soft-hearted, and after listening to Jiao Xiaojing's tragic experience, Liang Ge couldn't help but shed tears. Looking at the grizzled Jiao Xiaojing, Liang Ge immediately took Jiao Xiaojing to the bathhouse to take a bath first, and then went home to sleep.

Before leaving, Xiao Wei and Jiao Xiaojing said that they would send Jiao Xiaojing to their hometown of Qingfu tomorrow, and as for what to do in the future, they would discuss it slowly and think about it in the long run.

When they got up in the morning, Xiao Wei and Liu Jun rushed to Liang Ge's house. After a night of recuperation, Jiao Xiaojing looked much more energetic than yesterday, and her face was also ruddy. After changing into clean clothes, she looks slim, and she is indeed a beauty.

There is only one bus a day from the county seat to Qingfu, and Jiaojiazhuang is still seven or eight miles away from Qingfu Town, so it seems that it can only walk.

When he arrived in Jiaojiazhuang, Xiao Wei saw a place that had been absent for more than ten years, and the familiar appearance was basically unchanged from more than ten years ago. Especially when I entered Jiao Xiaojing's house, I found that this place was almost exactly the same as before, as if time had stood still in Jiao Xiaojing's house.

It's still a brick house from many years ago, and the earthen kang in the house. Jiao Laoyu knew that the young man in front of him was Xiao Wei from before, and he was also very excited, and hurriedly let Xiao Wei and Liu Jun into the house and sit down.

The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, there is almost no decent furniture, Jiao Laoyu is not a few years older than Xiao Wei's parents, but he looks much older than Xiao Wei's parents, and he is almost a generation apart.

Jiao Xiaojing's eldest sister and second sister have already married, and there is only one sister and one younger brother left in the family. My sister is only one year younger than Jiao Xiaojing, and she also dropped out of school, in addition to working in the field, she also worked part-time in a reed weaving factory in Qingfu, and the work was not very common, so she couldn't earn a few dollars.

Jiao Laoyu has been sick all the year round and can no longer work. Only one teenage brother is barely in school. The main source of expenses in the whole family, except for some harvests in the field, is basically supported by Jiao Xiaojing's income alone.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Wei now deeply understands why Jiao Xiaojing can endure such a big grievance, and finally understands what it means to be forced by life in reality.

It seems that it is not enough to simply rescue Jiao Xiaojing from that demon cave, as far as Jiao Xiaojing's current situation at home is concerned, I am afraid that it will not be long before Jiao Xiaojing will still be out of the tiger's den and will have to enter the wolf's den again.

There is only one way, which is to make Jiao Xiaojing completely independent financially, to be able to support herself and to ensure the minimum living standard of this family.

What to do?

After saying goodbye to Jiao Laoyu, Jiao Xiaojing insisted on sending them to the entrance of the village. Walking on the country road, Xiao Wei and Liu Jun were in a very heavy mood, they didn't expect that they were under the same blue sky, and there were people with such a hard life, compared to them, Xiao Wei and Liu Jun's current life is simply heaven.

A familiar aroma wafted through the air, the smell of boiled water. Qingfu's boiled water is very famous in Pengcheng, especially Jiaojiazhuang, many people can do it, Jiao Lao Yu also made a good boiled water when he was young, but later he was sick, and life became a problem, so he didn't have the capital to do this business anymore.

Passing by a boiled stall, the boiled pig has just come out of the pot, and the smell is mouth-watering. Xiao Wei stepped forward to buy some sewer, divided it into two parts, and then divided one of them into two parts and wrapped it.

Xiao Wei gave Jiao Xiaojing a large portion, and he and Liu Jun each gave a small portion, and went back to try it. Jiao Xiaojing shirked a few times, and saw that Xiao Wei was sincere, so he accepted it.

Before parting, Xiao Wei stuffed Jiao Xiaojing with more than 100 yuan, which was all the money on him and Liu Jun except for a few yuan of car money, Jiao Xiaojing took the money, and couldn't help but tears in her eyes.

On the way back, Xiao Wei and Liu Jun didn't talk much, and the reality they saw today was indeed quite shocking to both of them.

Back in Pengcheng County, it was almost dark. Xiao Wei immediately summoned the members of the Galaxy Clan, and held a meeting at Liu Jun's house to discuss Jiao Xiaojing's matter. Liu Jun specially cut the boiled water he bought and brought it to everyone as a snack.

Xiao Wei told everyone what happened to Jiao Xiaojing and the situation at home that he saw today, and asked everyone to figure out what to do to help Jiao Xiaojing properly?

Everyone was silent, thinking of a way. It's really hard for everyone, they are not financially independent, and there are indeed not many ways to help others.

Liang Singer held a piece of boiled pork liver and ate it little by little, thinking about it.

Suddenly, Liang Ge slapped the table and said, "Yes, can't Jiao Xiaojing also make boiled water and sell it?"

Xiao Wei suddenly realized: "Since her father can do it, then she should do it too, even if she won't let her learn it, it will be very fast, anyway, someone will teach her." Well, yes, that's a good idea. Now what she lacks is capital and place. ”

Liu Jun said: "I roughly calculated, this doesn't cost much, not counting renting a house, there is a thousand yuan is enough to buy equipment and purchases." This earns hard-earned money. ”

"It should be okay to bear hardships and stand hard work, and it is better than doing that. Xiao Wei answered: "But a thousand yuan is not a small amount, can you make it up, I borrowed the big guy, and I will pay it back slowly in the future." ”

Xiao Weiyi's proposal, because it was to help others, it was something that everyone thought was right, so no one raised objections.

In fact, Liu Jun is the only one in the galaxy team who is making money now, and he understands Xiao Wei's current mood very well, so he was the first to speak: "I want to find a way to make up three hundred, you see, if someone is really in trouble, I will find a way to do the rest." ”

Xiao Wei then said: "I will also make up three hundred." ”

Li Yong preemptively said: "My family just bought me a tape recorder last month, and I'm really embarrassed to ask for money again." Well, I'll figure it out at the store. My uncle's old house is still idle, on the side street next to the City God Temple, and although the location is not very good, I went to say that the rent could be reduced to a minimum. You can also owe the rent first, and then give it to him when you earn money. ”

Liang Ge said: "Since this is the case, then Wang Ziguang and I can just go out of two hundred." ”

The problem of money is solved, and the problem of the house is also visible.

"In this way," Xiao Wei finally said, "tomorrow we will each find a way to make money, and we must be in place this Friday." Li Yong, you will go to implement the house tomorrow, and tomorrow we will take the time to see if the place is suitable. ”

The next afternoon, Li Yong took the key.

The house is an old-fashioned small detached courtyard with a door open to the street. There is a small door face on the street, and Uncle Li Yong used to open a small grocery store, but then moved away and closed down. There are four or five houses in it, including the main house, and a small yard. It's a bit shabby, but it's clean.

Xiao Wei carefully looked at each room and felt that it was okay, so he pointed and said: "Leave a larger main room to live in, the two in the courtyard can be used as a processing kitchen, and the remaining two main rooms I think can be arranged with two single rooms." If anyone wants to eat here, you can also sell some sake and other small vegetarian dishes. ”

Liu Jun felt that what Xiao Wei said made sense, and he admired Xiao Wei very much, and he always considered things very thoroughly.

Before leaving, Xiao Wei asked, "How much does this house cost a year?"

Li Yong said disapprerovingly: "What kind of money is not money, I have already told my uncle, even if I borrowed it." ”

Xiao Wei interrupted Li Yong and said: "That's not good, since it's a business, you have to follow the rules, even if you don't have money to give now, you have to have a number, and you can settle accounts in the future." ”

Li Yong said: "Okay, I'll go back and ask, anyway, I think it's a thousand yuan a year at most." ”

"Okay, tell your uncle well, a thousand yuan a year is not much, if you can, it would be the best. Here, I promise, no matter what I earn, I will definitely give this 1,000 yuan rent. ”

Li Yong teased Xiao Wei jokingly: "Who wants you to guarantee that they are all good deeds." ”

It's Saturday. The big guy's money has been scraped together, and the house has been finalized, what does Uncle Li Yong say.

When everything was ready, Xiao Wei specially asked his father to borrow a passenger truck from the unit to pick up Jiao Xiaojing in Qingfu.

There is a special car is naturally much faster, and it only takes more than an hour to arrive at Jiaojiazhuang.

Jiao Xiaojing was cleaning up sheep grass at home, her face full of melancholy. I didn't expect Xiao Wei to really come. And when I heard that I was making a stew, I was naturally very interested.

Xiao Wei introduced the situation to Jiao Xiaojing, and when he heard that not only could he sell stew, but strictly speaking, it was a small restaurant, and he was worried that he would not be able to cope with it.

As she was talking, Jiao Xiaojing's sister Jiao Xiaoyu came back from work, and she is also a very simple rural girl, compared with girls of the same age in the city, it can be said that she is an era behind.

Jiao Xiaojing's eyes lit up, she could take her sister with her. Because there is only one way in the family, that is, to marry as soon as possible, get married and have children, and in a few years you will be reduced to a pure rural woman and a fertility machine.

Jiao Xiaojing is reluctant to let her sister take this path, let alone let her follow her own old path. And Xiao Wei's idea really gave them hope in life.

Jiao Laoyu doesn't have any opinions, as long as he can go out and make money, he can do anything. Jiao Xiaojing and her sister simply packed up their clothes and quilts, loaded them into the car, and followed Xiao Wei to the car and left.

Before leaving, Jiao Xiaojing, who was sitting in the car, looked at the home where he had lived for nearly 20 years, and a trace of sourness welled up in his heart. But it's just sour, and there is absolutely no nostalgia.

The members of the Starship Troopers were already waiting there. Everyone began to clean up the house with Jiao Xiaojing and them, but fortunately, there are a lot of old furniture left in Uncle Li Yong's house, which can still be used, and it is also saved to be repurchased.

After tidying up the place to live, Jiao Xiaojing looked at her nest with a little surprise. I finally have my own home, although this home is temporary, it still seems so warm and lovely.

Then Xiao Wei handed Jiao Xiaojing the 1,000 yuan: "This is your start-up capital, it's all made up by the big guys, do it well." I'm sure it will be done. ”

Holding this heavy thousand yuan, Jiao Xiaojing took her sister's hand and bowed to everyone with tears.

Opening a store is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually operate. Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Wei and his group, all this was arranged smoothly.

When applying for the certificate, Xiao Wei asked Jiao Xiaojing, what is the name of the shop?

Jiao Xiaojing felt that she couldn't say it well. In the end, Liang Ge said quickly, just called "Qingfu Jiaojia Braised Cooking", which can not only highlight the braised cooking of Qingfu, but also make people feel that it is an old shop with old years and old craftsmanship, which can attract people's attention.

When the name is taken out, everyone thinks it is good, and it can explain the characteristics of the small shop.

On the day of the opening of the hotel, all the members of the Galaxy team were present, and many classmates and friends were called. The ceremony was simple and lively, and the excited Jiao sisters stood under the brand-new "Qingfu Jiaojia Stew" signboard, and couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Just a month ago, I was still living the kind of life that endured humiliation and had no personal dignity. Just a month later, he already had his own small braised shop in Pengcheng County, and he would soon be able to get rich with his own hands and feed his family. This kind of contrasting change is very big, which makes it difficult for Jiao Xiaojing to adapt for a while.

Jiao Xiaojing was originally a clever girl, and she was not afraid of hardships and hardships, plus Jiao Xiaojing was sweet and could speak, the price was fair, and Tong Su was not bullied. The business of the small shop soon became prosperous and promising. The signboard of "Qingfu Jiaojia Braised Stew" quickly became famous.

And Xiao Wei and the others have naturally become a new place for the regulars here and the Galaxy team to meet from time to time.
