Chapter 27: The Road to Heaven
I smiled and scrubbed the cage cloth vigorously: "Children of this age should be like this, they are not sensible, they know how to play, and they are truly happy people." I don't know how envious. It's good to grow up, don't worry. ”
The proprietress looked at me at work and smiled, "You don't look like thirteen at all, you're really sensible." ”
"Well, you think I can do it, since I make your money, why do I have to do it well?" I work with a grin, I am also a reborn person, I don't work as clumsy as a child, I think it's pretty good.
The proprietress looked at it for a while, and then went out to get busy.
By noon, I couldn't lift my arms and was really tired. The hostess let me take a break.
I leaned against the door, blowing the wind, it was really hot, the clothes inside were all soaked, and now the weather is gradually getting hotter, it is really too hot at noon, alas, I hope I can save some money when I graduate, and I can have a little income in the first year of junior high school in September.
I was thinking about it when the proprietress came over and handed me two sugar packets and a pot of bean ribs.
"Eat. ”
On the one hand, I was really hungry, and on the other hand, it was because I hadn't eaten anything decent in a long, long time. Therefore, I don't care about what looks good or ugly. Gobbled up a pot of beans.
The proprietress smiled, "It's the first time I've seen such delicious food." ”
I smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I've made up my mind, I may have to eat steamed buns and pickles for a year, and I don't dare to think about it when I eat vegetables." I'm here today, and I'm going to be able to eat happily. ”
The proprietress sighed and stroked my hair: "Look at your skinny, you are also suffering, and it is not good for your body to eat vegetables all the time." ”
I smiled, "I'm just going to live to a minimum now, and I don't have any other hopes." ”
Isn't it a joke to say that people like me are in good health if they are well nourished? If I wanted to eat well, I don't think I would live for more than 10 days, based on the money I have.
The proprietress said: "You do a good job today, and I will add ten yuan to you when the time comes." ”
I was drinking water, and when I heard her words, I almost choked, and coughed a few times, "I'm not telling you this to cry poor, you don't have to add money to me because of pity." Fifty is fine. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I give everyone else sixty-one days, but I see that you are a little girl, and I don't really believe it, but I can't find anyone, so I want to try it, but you are really capable, and I can't bear to pit you. I'll give you sixty dollars. When you're on vacation, come to me and help me sell steamed buns. ”
I laughed in surprise: "Really?"
"Of course, you can also see, I am alone here, my husband is dead, only one child, I go out into the field every day, I want to hire someone, but I can't find a few. You're the best one you did, it's really good, I'm very satisfied, you do it well, come and help me on vacation in the future. When the time comes, we will sell steamed buns together, and if you do a good job, I will give you a commission. ”
I smiled and said, "Really, great, I'm willing to sell steamed buns, and I'll tell you the truth, I used to sell yogurt in the supermarket opposite, and it was selling well, but because the other party said that I was young, I didn't need me, and I also felt very regretful." ”
"Well, if you're really good at that, help me sell steamed buns. If there are more stores that sell, I will give you a commission. ”
She told me that in the summer, because of the hot weather, people who don't want to cook go to buy steamed buns, so many supermarkets and stores are now selling steamed buns, but these stores make their own steamed buns, basically rely on steamed bun shops to deliver, and nearby construction sites and decoration companies and other bosses will also order a large number of steamed buns.
"In addition to helping me work, I will pay you normally, if you can help me find a place to buy my head for a long time, I will give you a hundred yuan bonus. Are you willing to do it?"
I quickly agreed: "I can." I'm also willing to make more money. "Earn an extra hundred yuan, and I'll be able to move towards more freedom, and the boss here is for food, so I can also eat a little decent food, how good?
The proprietress smiled: "There are really not many people like you who make money by hard work now, and I am very lucky to meet a little girl like you." ”
I'm just laughing, I'm probably about the same age as her.
After dinner and a little more water, I started to wash my things. Because of hope, the whole person was full of energy, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, it was all done, and all the cage drawer cloth was hung on the clothesline outside, and I stretched my already stiff waist, I was really tired.
The proprietress came over and gave me sixty yuan, and an oversized bag of steamed buns, plus a few sugar packets.
I quickly refused: "It's good that you gave me lunch, I'm embarrassed to ask for it again, it's too much..."
She smiled: "Look at it, what I gave you are some deformed, alkali big, definitely can't be sold, some of these are two or three days old, fortunately it's not hot now, otherwise it would have been bad a long time ago, and our family will definitely not be able to eat it by themselves." So here you go. Just take it, or these things will just go bad and throw them in the trash. ”
I just took it, and the hostess agreed with me to come over on Saturday to help.
When she saw me off, she said to me, "When I was as old as you, my parents also felt that it was useless for me to go to school, so I came down early to help my younger brother, I studied much better than him, my younger brother went to secondary school, and now the electricity bureau earns a lot and the work is easy, what about me, now I can only do a small business, I really regret it, if only I could continue to study." Don't be like me, study hard, no matter how difficult the road is, you have to keep going. ”
I was grateful for her support and nodded vigorously.
When I left, I went to the mall, and I saw my aunt selling yogurt with a man. I walked over, and she smiled and said, "What are you doing here?
I smiled and said, "I went to work in a steamed bun shop, and the proprietress gave me too many steamed buns." I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it myself, and I brought some to my aunt, and there were sugar packets, but it was delicious, and I ate this at noon. ”
The eldest lady patted me on the back, "You kid, just eat it yourself, and think about me!" Her voice was a little choked.
I smiled and brought her seven or eight steamed buns, all of which looked very ugly, as the proprietress said, no one would want them, but they could be eaten, so my aunt and I didn't dislike them.
The eldest lady asked for a bag to put it up: "I won't tell you, I don't want to move every time I go home, but the people in the family can't help me, I only know that I want to eat, I'm too tired to cook, you give me these steamed buns, I don't have to cook after I go home, just cook a soup, it really solves my big problem." What a good boy. ”
I smiled and said, "It's not so good, I'm leaving, auntie." If the boss saw the two of us talking all the time, he would have scolded you. ”
"Well, I see. "The eldest lady went back.
I went back. Back at the hotel, I gave the innkeeper ten steamed buns and she was also very happy.
I often use her kitchen to make noodles, and I often use hot water, so I have to repay it, and I don't have any money, so I can only give this.
The boss accepted with a smile and gave me a towel, saying that it was more than one person delivered, so he gave it to me.
I'm very happy to have a towel, now such a cotton towel, the cheapest is five or six yuan, I have been using a hard towel, very old, and I am reluctant to buy.
After today's events, I have summed up an idea, that is, if you want to get, it is better to pay first, only by giving first, and treating others sincerely, can you get a return. Of course, it also depends on who the other party is, if it is my mother or Liao Gang's mother, it is estimated that there will be no benefits, and there will be no scum left to be gnawed.
When I got home, I did my homework first, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, and I didn't have time to think about anything, so I just fell asleep over there.
When I woke up the next day, I was really stiff, my arms couldn't lift a little, and it took me a few minutes to get out of bed, and the flesh of my ribs moved slightly, and I wanted to die in pain.
I smiled helplessly, "That's fine, I'm going to be late." ”
I had to go out earlier than usual, so I used the boss's kitchen to fry a steamed bun in a pan, sprinkled a little salt on it, and went to school after eating.
I've always been in a good mood, and although I'm not feeling well and my flesh hurts all over my body, it's good to think that I can have a stable income. Then when I arrived at the school gate, when I saw Liao Gang, my good mood was gone.
He stood there looking at me with a pained expression.
"I'm really disappointed that I don't let you make money, you're wronged, I'm sorry. ”
He used to be very energetic, but I don't know why I feel very greasy when I see him like that, are you a man so embarrassed? When you encounter something, shouldn't you face it well and find a way to solve it, why do you do this?
I said, "It's okay, I'm not an adult, it's normal not to use me, and you don't have to be embarrassed." Let's go to school. It's okay for me, I've forgotten about it. ”
"What are you going to do, you don't have any money, what are you going to do if you don't have money to teach? I don't have much money, my mother only gives me two dollars a day for pocket money. Liao Gang grabbed his hair in frustration.
