Chapter 249 The family surnamed Li (21st 1st update)
Chapter 249 The family surnamed Li (21st 1st shift) Binnan. Winter nights, heavy snowfall.
Huge snow flakes like goose feathers were sprinkled all over the sky, and they had been falling all day, but there was no intention of stopping, and the snow on the ground was already more than ten centimeters thick. The fierce cold wind and the constant falling snowflakes outside the house made many people discourage the idea of going out and stay in the warm homes honestly.
The snack bars in the lively night market street in the past have lost the hustle and bustle of diners, and it has been a long time before a few customers come to dine and trot into their favorite shops, and most of the shops do not even have a single customer.
"Alas~~" In a small shop called Li Ji's secret grilled chops, a fat aunt about fifty years old sighed lightly, she supported her chin with her hand, looked at the heavy snow outside the house through the window, and said to herself, "It looks like today, it's over......"
She said that it is naturally the business of her own store, the super snowfall that has been rare for more than ten years, has dispelled the desire of many customers to come out to eat, even if it is full on weekdays, but today there are only three tables in the store, and one table is occupied by two young men in waiter overalls.
"Brother, when I was in school, I was so ambitious.
My biggest wish is to make our secret barbecue chop into a world-famous food brand like California beef noodles or KFC Danglao, even if it is not world-famous, it must be like a first-class domestic chain restaurant like Manhan Quanxi.
It was for this wish that I majored in restaurant economics and food science when I went to university, but at that time, I thought about all kinds of good things, and when I waited for society, I was really hit by reality......"
The young man's words were full of depression, he picked up his wine glass and drank it all, "Can you think that just with my buddy, a master's student at a prestigious university, the vice president of the student union and class president, the student committee and the first-class scholarship winner, and the school-level high-achieving student who has represented the school in various speeches, debates and other activities many times, can't find a fucking job, can you think of it?"
The young man slapped the table and said indignantly, and the handsome boy who was sitting at the same table with him also took a glass of light drink and smiled, "It's really unbelievable that a high-achieving student like Brother Yu can't find a job......
"Alas~~" Brother Nayu shook his head and sighed, "I used to hear my predecessors say that the campus and society are two worlds, and I don't know the way out of school, but now I look at it, it's really the case."
In fact, I can't find a job, it really doesn't matter, but I can't make our brand stronger and bigger, which is my biggest regret buddy!!"
Brother Yu was talking indignantly, but he didn't see the proprietress coming from behind and yelling at him, "Sorry fart, sorry, you have the kung fu to drink, why don't you do some work? Look at the fact that you eat this thing, row and string, and sell it for more money today? The little money you earn has ruined all of your losers." ”
This Brother Yu was trained by the proprietress and immediately withered, and said with a smile, "Mom, there are not many people today, I'll talk to Brother Xiaofei for a few words, rest and rest, I'll work right away, I'll go to ...... now" said, stood up, and gave a look.
"Go quickly, dress me all the meat skewers I will use tomorrow......" The proprietress glared at him, turned her head to the other waiter and said, "Xiaofei, you bring the pimple soup and steamed buns in the pot to Auntie......"
"Okay, I'll go ...... now" Xiao Fei nodded in response, still with a soft smile on his face, and walked out of the house with the few things the boss lady said.
And in the corner of the store, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl waitress looked at the back of Xiaofei leaving, and the corners of her mouth showed a trace of disdain, "cut ......"
The Xiao Fei in their mouths is naturally Mu Fei.
Mu Fei stayed at Li's barbecue to work in the last minute, the reason was naturally not to make money, but the proprietress at that time asked Mu Fei to help for two days in a pleading tone, and bluntly said that the barbecue master in the store was sick, and another person accompanied him to see a doctor, and their mother and daughter were too busy.
Although Mu Fei was unhappy in his heart, he still admired the straightness of this proprietress very much, he didn't want to help, but he relented for a while and stayed, and today is his fourth day in this store, and it is also the last day, because he will start making up classes at school tomorrow, and on the other hand, the employees in that store have returned.
After staying here for a few days, Mu Fei learned about this store, and it turned out that this store was run by a family.
Li Sanqiang, who was scolded for lacking morality that day, is the owner of this store, a little old man in his early fifties, although he is not young, but in addition to being a little thin, he is quite energetic.
But Mu Fei learned from his son that his health was not good, and he had a lot of heart and lung problems, if it weren't for his mentality, he would have collapsed a long time ago, and what he was most afraid of was anger, so there were only two people in those days, the proprietress and the waiter, because he was choked by the people who were scolded outside the house that day, and he almost fainted, and had to go to the hospital for a check-up.
As for the thing outside the house that day, scolding Li Sanqiang for his lack of morality, Mu Fei only thought it was a malicious competition between peers, he didn't see what was wrong with this kind little old man, but felt that he was a good old man who always smiled.
The fat proprietress is Li Sanqiang's daughter-in-law, with a straight temper and a big voice, which is a typical example of a knife-mouthed tofu heart, Li Sanqiang is not in good health, and most of this family is supported by her.
The two of them have two children, the eldest is called Li Tianyu, the elder brother, the elder brother who chatted with Mu Fei before, a top student of Northeast Agricultural University, is a very talented person, dare to say and do, after graduation, he wants to make this store bigger, but because he has no funds, no connections, he can't make it out, and he is depressed and unambitious.
And the waitress of the little girl who always looked at Mu Fei unpleasantly, named Li Tianmei, is a younger sister, eighteen years old this year, but due to financial problems, she dropped out of school to help in the store at home.
In general, the people in this store are good, but now Mu Fei has two things that he can't understand.
First, the business of the store is really good, and there is no store more popular than this one in the small half of the street.
The second is that the business is so hot and the income is not cheap, but the family is still living in difficulty, even if Li Sanqiang has to be treated, it will not even be able to afford Li Tianmei's school expenses, right?
Although Mu Fei was puzzled by these two points, as a part-time waiter, he was not suitable to ask such secret questions.
Moreover, Mu Fei has already asked about the price of this store, which is about 360,000 yuan, which also includes a year's and a half years of room fees, but he doesn't have enough money now, so he can only save a little more money, it is estimated that he can make up enough time in a month, he plans to take this store down as soon as the New Year is over, and then the affairs of Li Sanqiang's family will have nothing to do with him, so why bother thinking so much?
Shaking his head and driving these thoughts out of his head, Mu Fei carried the food and walked quickly towards the residential building not far away.
"Knock knock" Mu Fei knocked on a house on the first floor, and after half a day, an old lady who looked to be nearly seventy years old opened the door, and when she saw that it was Mu Fei, she had a kind smile on her face.
"Xiaofei is here, come on, come into the house and warm up......" The old lady asked with a smile on her glasses.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhao, I'll go in and sit for a while......"
When Grandma Zhao heard Mu Fei's words, she smiled even more, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hey, hurry, come in, come in and sit ......" and then bent down and entered the house.
Grandma Zhao's room is very simple, two bedrooms and one living room, almost no decoration, extremely empty, except for one room with beds, cabinets, chairs and other simple old homes, and the kitchen has a stove and refrigerator. There were no furniture or appliances in the living room and the other room, but there were all kinds of broken paper shells and plastic bottles piled up.
Since Mu Fei arrived at the Li family's barbecue restaurant, he found that his family delivered food to the old lady on time three times a day, and the work from the next day fell on Mu Fei's shoulders.
This old lady is a lonely old man, originally she was a happy family of three generations, but in an accident, her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, all died in an accident, leaving only a grandson who is not angry, and he has not learned to fight well.
There is only such a lonely old lady left in the family, and every morning and evening, she bends her waist and goes to the streets, night markets and parks to pick up waste paper shells, mineral water bottles and drink bottles for a living.
The proprietress once accidentally met the old lady, and after learning about her situation, she took great pity on her, and since then, she has been responsible for the old lady's diet three times a day, and what she eats in her own house, she will give it to the old man.
In addition to Mu Fei's sympathy, he also admired the old man's strength and optimism, but he also knew that the old man must be miserable and lonely in his heart, so every day from noon to evening, he would come over to talk and chat with the old man.
Mu Fei sympathized with the old man, and the old man was naturally grateful to Mu Fei and liked this kind child, in just three or four days, the old man was about to treat Mu Fei as a godgrandson.
Mu Fei helped Grandma Zhao fill the bowl for her to eat, and said, "Grandma Zhao, I'm going to class, I can't come tomorrow......"
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao, who was about to eat, paused, and then said, "Okay, go to school well, students should go to school hard, and study hard to be successful......
Grandma Zhao said this, but Mu Fei could clearly see the reluctance on the old man's face, he smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, although I have been in class and can't come every day, I will often come to see your ...... when I am resting or on vacation."
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao was happy, but her old eyes were full of tears, and she said gratefully, "Good boy, you are really a good child, if my grandson can be like you, I won't worry about anything, old lady."
Although that kid is good to me, but he always fights and makes trouble, it's too worrying, I miss him, but I'm afraid to see him, I'm afraid that one day he will run in front of me, but he will be beaten all over his body, and his head will be broken and bleeding......"
"Grandma Zhao, don't get angry, he's still young, it's fine when he's older......" Mu Fei persuaded with a smile.
"He's twenty-two, two years older than you, where is he young, if you want me to say, this character is born, that child was a child......" The old lady said, and opened the chatterbox, chattering and chattering.
And Mu Fei smiled softly and listened to the old man's talk.
After Mu Fei's work was completed in the last day, the proprietress gave an extra sixty yuan and handed a hundred-yuan bill to Mu Fei, "Xiaofei, thanks to your help in the store these days, you can go to class at noon, if you are free at night, come and help, and Auntie will also give you forty ...... a day."
Li Tianyu patted Mu Fei's shoulder, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't do it here, our buddies still have to deal with me, come to me if you have nothing to do, brother, please ......" said, seeing that his mother was glaring at him, he added, "But I have to come when my mother is away." ”
The boss Li Sanqiang also nodded and smiled at Mu Fei innocently, only Li Tianmei glanced at Mu Fei twice, and said dissatisfiedly, "Let's go quickly, don't come back in the future, I hate ......" said, turning his head.
So far, Mu Fei has ended his part-time job life in less than a week.
And he arrived at school the next day, and as soon as class started, trouble came......
