At 3 o'clock in the morning, the whole city is quiet. Since 8 o'clock last night, she has forced herself to sleep until now, and Huiqin finally got up unbearable. She tiptoed out of the door in the dark, she now lives in this place, the bathroom is shared, the monthly rent is 300 yuan, in the urban area of Dongou City, this kind of low-cost house, almost extinct, when she first came at the beginning of this year, she and her mother walked I don't know how many roads, before finding this residence.

After washing up in the bathroom, I returned to the room with a toothbrush, a cup and a towel, and as soon as I entered the door, Huiqin's mother woke up.

"Who?" her voice was full of alarm, it was a mistake that fell when she was working in another city, she had been stolen twice, and once, she lost nearly half a year's savings.

"Mom, it's me!" Huiqin quickly turned on the light.

A solitary incandescent lamp hanging in the center of the ceiling illuminates this small room of less than 20 square meters.

Huiqin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, she squinted, and said without much strength: "What time is it, why are you getting up so early?"

"I changed shifts today. Huiqin slept too early last night and didn't have time to tell her mother, who returned late, about it, "Our little boss asked me to change to work in the morning from today, and he asked me to be responsible for collecting money." ”

"Let you collect money?" Huiqin's mother suddenly came to her senses, "Qinqin, your little boss, is it interesting to you?"

"Mom, you're thinking too much. Huiqin smiled and turned off the light.

Huiqin's mother patted the edge of the bed, and it didn't seem that she was going to sleep, and said to Huiqin, "You sit down." Tell Mom what's going on. ”

"It's nothing, it's our store manager. Yesterday I went to the little boss and told us to take a holiday once a week. Didn't the little boss just agree? Then the little boss gave us a shift, and after the shift, I was transferred to work during the day. The daytime class is from morning to noon, and you can rest in the afternoon, but there is no holiday. Huiqin explained as clearly as she could.

"What about the salary?" Huiqin's mother immediately asked the point.

Huiqin replied: "The salary has not changed, it is still 3,000 yuan a month." ”

Huiqin's mother's tone of voice suddenly became excited: "I only need to do it for half a day every day, and I will give you 3,000 yuan, and I will also let you be responsible for collecting money." Qinqin, you little boss, Bacheng is interesting to you! What kind of money is so easy to make now?"

"Mom......" Huiqin said a little unbearable, "Don't talk nonsense, okay, Jing Jing, who works with me, is much more beautiful than me, and became the deputy store manager yesterday, even if our little boss wants to be interesting, it is also interesting to others." Where's my turn?"

"That's right......" Huiqin's mother finally stopped, she yawned and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's less than 4 o'clock. Huiqin replied, adding. "I go to work at 5 o'clock. ”

"Why are you getting up so early?" Huiqin's mother repeated the question she had just asked.

"I went to bed too early yesterday and can't sleep now. Hui Qin changed her answer, and after a moment of silence. He whispered again, "Mom." I went to the store first, and the store made breakfast in the morning. ”

"Uh-huh......" Hye-qin's mother hummed. I closed my eyes.

……

Huiqin closed the door, and it was pitch black outside. This area is one of the remaining undemolished areas in the urban area of Dongou City, and from here you go out, which is the back alley of the 18th Middle School. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the store. It is precisely because of this that Hui Qin was able to find out about the recruitment notice posted by Qin Feng that day as soon as possible.

Speaking of working in Qin Feng's shop, Huiqin can be said to have a lot of emotion.

The first month of work, every night when she came home, she always secretly scolded Qin Feng in her heart, but when the probation period passed, after the second one got such a high salary, she no longer had any complaints about Qin Feng. And as time went by, she felt more and more that Qin Feng was really a very good boss. At least compared to her father and mother, her current work salary is definitely the first in the family.

Huiqin's entire family is now working in Dongou City. Dad works in a leather shoe factory in Jiangbei Town, which is separated from the city by a river, and the factory includes food and housing, so he lives alone in Jiangbei most of the time, and only comes back to the rental house twice a month, with a salary of 3,500 yuan per month, but the working hours are extremely long, more than 14 hours a day. Mom's work is not easy, working as a cleaner in the hotel, usually going out at 9 o'clock in the morning, but basically to go home at about 2 o'clock in the evening, although it is a package of food, but the salary is not high, 1800 yuan per month.

Hui Qin thought in her heart that if she could continue to do this, her family would be able to save at least seven or eight thousand a month. After two or three years, the money she saved is enough for her to go back to her hometown to open a store and do business by herself, just like her little boss, the whole family will work together, and her life will definitely be prosperous. Of course, if that idiot can get into college.

I just heard from the little boss that the place where she lives now will soon be demolished, and when the time comes, it will be demolished along with the little boss's shop, and the little boss has no storefront, and she doesn't know if she can continue to work this job.

Huiqin lowered her head and walked out, and before she knew it, she walked to the back alley of the eighteenth middle school.

The back alley of the 18th Middle School was slightly brighter than the road behind her, because the energy-saving lamp on the roof of the kebab shop was on all night. The cold halo scattered from the rooftop makes the alley, which is actually a parking lot in the back alley, have a different atmosphere, and the silence is vast, and even the summer heat seems to have dissipated a lot.

Huiqin stood in the distance in a daze for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

Walking past the front of the kebab shop and bypassing the front desk, Hui Qin was thinking about whether there might be someone in the house, looked up and looked forward, was suddenly startled, and shouted in surprise: "Ah!"

In the dark night, I saw a young man with a small figure picking the lock.

There is no doubt that he is a thief.

The thief was a thief, and when he heard someone shouting behind him, he was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the tools of the crime almost didn't fall to the ground, he hurriedly turned around, and after looking at Huiqin for two seconds, he hesitated and threatened: "What do you see?"

"I ......" Huiqin wanted to tell him that she was working here, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again.

When the thief saw Huiqin's timid appearance, he immediately became confident, and said wildly: "It's none of your business here, get out of the way!"

Huiqin didn't dare to say much, her heart was beating wildly, and she turned around and walked towards Shili Pavilion Road.

There are street lights on the main road, which can give her a sense of security.

Hui Qin walked forward quickly, not daring to look back, and her mind was even more chaotic.

What to do? What to do?

Where does the little boss live?

What is his mobile phone number?

Oh, it's useless, even if you know the number of the little boss, but she doesn't have a mobile phone, and this time can't go up, the store that closed late has just closed, and the store that opened early hasn't opened yet, and there is no place to call, and there is no way to report 110.

was full of entanglement, and suddenly an acquaintance came to him.

Huiqin and Wang Hao looked at each other under the street lamp, and Huiqin suddenly stepped forward as if the Weaver Girl saw Niu Lang, and quickly stepped forward to take Wang Hao's hand excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Wang Hao, quickly, come with me......"

I didn't want Wang Hao to shake off Huiqin's hand, and opened his mouth with a stern face and shouted: "What are you doing, you want to take advantage of me? I can tell you, my heart has already been given to the little boss and his sister, you don't have a chance!"

"No!" Hui Qin was angry and annoyed, and at the same time her tongue was knotted with nervousness, "That...... There is a thief in the shop!" (To be continued......)
