Jiuyuan is a small farmhouse restaurant, which is opened at the back door of the school, and the farmer himself is a restaurant. All vegetables and fruits are planted by themselves, the price is high, the dishes are fresh, the environment is very elegant, and the scenery is idyllic. A small river bypassed the front of the yard, and outside it was laden with all kinds of seasonal vegetables, and a few chickens fluttered on the grass, fluttering for an earthworm, and a few dogs barking in the distance. The yard is full of green bean sheds, and a few cockscombs are in full bloom, and the red is dazzling.

"The old rule, the owner arranged a meal for three of us. Before Chen Tao stepped into the small courtyard, he greeted the boss who was busy in the kitchen.

The old rule here is that ten dollars for one person to consume/eat, and thirty dollars for three people. Thirty yuan: one meat, two vegetables and one soup, fried on the spot, the taste is much better than the food in the canteen. The vegetarian dishes in the cafeteria are 1.0 and the meat dishes are 2.5. 5 yuan can be enough to eat, some students feel that the big pot of dishes is not high-grade, class reunions, fellow gatherings will choose to eat out.

"Erwa, why are you unhappy, today I am my girlfriend with you, don't hide unpleasant things in your heart, just talk to your buddies if you have anything, it's okay to vent, you will have problems after holding it for a long time. Chen Tao took a bite of the dish and asked him with a displeased face.

"I've been coming to school for more than half a month, and I want to use my free time on Saturdays and Sundays to do some small jobs to earn some living expenses. Speaking of this, Erwa's mind remembered the picture of saying goodbye to the homeroom teacher in her hometown: it was an afternoon, the sun was still shining, Teacher Zou was wearing a white shirt, with a black-framed eye, and three people stood at the door of the middle school.

"What are you going to do now, your father died early, and now your mother is sick again, and even doing farm work has become a problem. Only when I go to ZQ to see if I can find a part-time job or a tutor or a waiter in a restaurant to earn a little living expenses, I have to support myself by myself. ”

"Your situation can only be like this, what if you don't study, even if you go out to work and have a diploma, it is easier to find a job. The teacher next to him also persuaded.

Whenever Zou Erwa thinks of this picture, she feels sad, perhaps it is the most difficult choice in his life, there is no way back at every step, only to move forward hard.

"You're thinking about spring again? Damn! The daughter of that family has hurt you like this, and you don't think about tea and dinner. Do you want me to let the swallow help you match? Let's eat first, and let Yanzi say go after eating, Erwa, eat quickly, we have eaten it all, we won't say that our family bullies you, right?" Chen Tao interrupted Zou Erwa's thoughts.

"I want to go to Beibei to see"

"I want to see it, it's also tomorrow, it's noon now, I'm afraid it's going to be dark when I get to Beibei, right? ”

"Yes, eat first, eat, eat. Zou Erwa lifted the chopsticks again, picked up a few pieces of fat back to the pot and stuffed them into her mouth.

After eating, Zou Erwa still didn't change her obsession, she still wanted to try her luck, "Chen Tao, you and Yanzi have a good look at the scenery behind the school, I still want to go to Beibei." ”

"You're so resolute, let you go, anyway, you're not free with us, it's not comfortable to be a light bulb. ”

Li Yan blushed and grabbed Chen Tao's arm, which meant to warn him not to speak so explicitly, and girls would be shy.

Zou Erwa walked through the back door of the school and got on the school bus to Beibei.

The so-called life, now is how to live, first see which restaurant needs a temporary waiter, or work as a handyman in it.

There are all kinds of sorrows in the world, but they are all sorrows, and sorrow is a kind of cell that makes up life. Some people worry about every meal, and some people worry about not having a boyfriend.

In the girls' apartment building, clusters of poppies are open unrestrained like burning flames in the flower platform of the girls' dormitory under the oblique light of the sunset, jumping and surging with a gust of breeze, such as the girl shyly bowing her head and smiling at the unopened flower bones, and unconsciously remembering Xu Zhimo's famous sentence: the most is the gentleness of the bowed head, like the shyness of a water lotus flower that is not better than the cool breeze at this time; The proud head shows the open flowers, as enthusiastic and unrestrained as a young woman, full of hot and spicy allure to the opposite sex.

The pink and white tiled walls are inlaid with a red waistline, which is particularly eye-catching in the green camphor forest.

Every Saturday and Sunday, handsome guys dressed up sit or stand around the girls' dormitory, shouting and rising and falling with each other, and one by one the girls dressed up delicately and beautifully walk out of the dormitory building briskly.

"Wan Keke, what are you sleeping on, you lazy pig, dating Meng Lang in the quilt bed? I'm so hungry that I've stuck it on my back, get up! I'm the only one left in the bedroom, if I go, you stay in the bedroom alone, then you're alone, get up, Uncle Wan, I'm going out for lunch, then I'll go first, come with me?"

Outside the door of the 302 bedroom, Liu Lijuan, who had combed her short ear-length hair upside down and had a delicate face, leaned against the door frame, leaned her head into the bedroom, and asked Wan Coco, who was sleeping in the lower bunk.

"Don't you bother, I really don't want to go out, I'm going to nest in the dormitory today. Don't you see a bunch of novels that I just rented around me? I haven't finished reading this yet, and it takes days to rent the whole set, which is really not easy. ”

Liu Lijuan, who had just walked out of the aisle, felt that it was not good to leave her best friend alone in the bedroom, so she walked a few steps and retreated.

"Wan Keke, otherwise, I'll pack food for you when you come back, so you don't have to go out, okay?"

"Go, get out, hurry up and get out, Liu Lijuan, are you bothered, I'm seeing a fortune. You guy, who doesn't know you're going out on a date, I'm not going to a light bulb yet, an eyesore, get out. Thank you for your hypocrisy, and for bringing the door to me. Wan Keke didn't raise her head, her eyes looked at the book intently, and she scolded Liu Lijuan to leave quickly, for fear that she would pull herself up on the bed.

After the footsteps disappeared, Wan Coco threw away the novel book, and quickly took out a loaf of bread from the drawer and gnawed on it while complaining to himself: The hateful guys downstairs, no one called my name, and I was also a beautiful woman in the mirror, with big eyes, double eyelids, and apple face, but my breasts were too rich, didn't I say that boys like Fengyun? Fat is also a manifestation of beauty, and all of them are illiterate. A sourness welled up in my heart, and the eight girls in the dormitory were robbed by the seniors and fellow villagers as soon as they entered the school, but I didn't have a boyfriend, and I didn't even have a letter, so I was too much of a failure. On Sunday, he guards the dormitory alone, and he is really alone. Hmph, what the way of the world.

Outside the window, the night is slowly approaching the earth, and the street lights are slowly lit up here. A pair of proud sons of heaven slowly flow on the boulevard of the campus, and such a good time seems to have frozen in time.

At this time, Zou Erwa was in front of Aunt Guo's old hot pot restaurant on the street of Beibei, touching her chapped lips, because of her inner anxiety, the order of her speech was much faster than usual, and sometimes she said a sentence that she didn't want to say, and she also said it, and tried to lobby the owner of a hot pot restaurant in Beibei.

"Boss, I'll help you calculate an account, every Sunday your business here is very hot, your staff is too busy during this time period, and it is not cost-effective for you to hire an extra waiter, students like me are just free on Saturday and Sunday, just right in time, and can endure hardships and work diligently. ”

Thinking about what Zou Erwa said, the boss also agreed with his point of view, but he had never used temporary workers, he didn't know how to pay the salary, and it was not cost-effective for him to do more, and he was afraid that no one would do it. The owner of the hot pot restaurant just nodded slightly and responded to him with a smile.

"If I didn't think that one more employee would be an extra burden for you, I wouldn't have applied for the job, I'm here to lighten your load. I come to work every Saturday and Sunday, and you pay your salary, and if I do well, you will give more, and if I don't do well, you will give less, so that it will be good for you and me. Taking the initiative to poke the boss's scruples, Zou Erwa's words seemed to be from the boss's point of view for him, and finally impressed the boss of Aunt Guo's old hot pot in the entanglement.

The owner of the hot pot restaurant also had the mentality of giving it a try, and if the other party really couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to waste much wages, so he agreed to Zou Erwa's request.

"Okay, in this way, tomorrow is just Sunday, you come here at half past six in the morning, first say okay, other employees do a full month is 180 yuan / month, what about you, I don't wronged you, I will calculate 10 yuan / day for you, just Saturday, Sunday to work, but also for you to eat and live. It's a high salary. ”

Zou Erwa pondered for a while: People are only one hundred and eighteen a month, and they are higher than them according to the whole month, relative to the master's salary. There are eight days in a month, and there is an income of 80 yuan, and you can spend it on your own steamed buns. Staying at school on Saturdays and Sundays not only has nothing to do, but also wastes living expenses, why not, it's a fool not to do it.

"Okay! The boss is a good person, and I am also a cheerful person, so I decided so happily, I will come over early tomorrow morning." I see that the business in the store is also very busy today, or I will adapt to it first, and I will not count my salary today. "Actually, Zou Erwa is hungry and wants to eat a meal.

"Okay, no problem, then let's decide, I only come to the store on Saturdays and Sundays, and I have to go to work the rest of the time. ”

This kid is not bad, he knows that he has come out to find a job to support himself and reduce the burden on his family, which is better than the young man who is idle all day and wanders around on the streets, which is really incomparable between people. Regarding the good impression of others on herself, Zou Erwa is definitely not as great as others think, she just wants to live, and if she doesn't study, she also has to face the topic of living, just one more student's aura.
