4. Chapter 4 The Meeting of Fate
After picking up the car from the carport, Li rushed out of the school gate like a sail, rode for about half an hour, and stopped at a restaurant called "Fenglai Pavilion Hotel". It is said that it is a hotel, but the proprietress Sister Feng sticks gold on her face, in fact, it is a Jianghu store, but although the decoration of the restaurant is not very elegant, it is better because the food is delicious, the amount is large and affordable, and the surrounding neighbors are willing to come here to eat.
Li Yifan locked the car and walked into the restaurant quickly. At this time, it was already time for dinner, and there were already four or five tables of guests sitting in the hall of the restaurant, and many of them were already urging the dishes with their throats.
"Yifan, you stinky boy, why did you die, you want to exhaust your mother." A gust of fragrant wind wafted in, causing Li Yifan to sneeze a few times, and a woman in red had flashed out of the front desk. The woman looks to be in her thirties, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, and a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth.
The restaurant business is so hot, and it should have something to do with it. It's just that now this woman has her hands on her hips, her willow eyebrows are upside down, and her fierce appearance is a different taste. The diner next to him laughed when he saw this: "Sister Feng, you are tired, I am busy with you rubbing and keeping you comfortable." "Sister Feng is just strong enough, we just like this tune."
", some of them can't stop your dog's mouth." They were all old guests, and the woman didn't care about them when she said some meaty words, and after dealing with them, she led Li Yifan to the back kitchen.
"Sister Feng, I'm sorry, the school is far away, and I may be late in the future, or you can deduct some of my salary." Li Yifan said wryly.
"Don't talk nonsense, I know that I don't have to work quickly when I'm late, there are still a lot of vegetables that haven't been cut, and the ribs over there have to be chopped up. The action is quick, and I'll have to let you serve the food upstairs for a while. ”
"I know, I'll go right away." Li Yifan changed his clothes and concentrated on his work. Helping the chef prepare the dishes, Li Yifan helped the private room upstairs to deliver the dishes, the business of the restaurant is very good, Li Yifan has been busy for almost two hours, and there is no time to breathe in the middle.
At this time, Li Yifan was walking on the stairs with a basin of boiled fish, a drunk guest went downstairs crookedly, Li Yifan hurriedly turned sideways, who knew that the guest's body shook and suddenly fell to him, Li Yifan held up with his left hand and stopped the guest, but the boiled fish in his right hand fell to the ground, Li Yifan shouted in his heart to be bad, staring at the pot of fish that was about to land, thinking that he was going to be scolded by Sister Feng again. A miraculous thing happened, the pot of boiled fish stopped in mid-air after hearing the roar in Li Yifan's heart, Yifan waved his right hand, and the pot of fish slowly flew into his hand.
Li Yifan looked around weakly, found that no one around saw this scene, helped the drunk guest to the corner of the stairs and sat down, and Yifan continued to deliver fish to the guests.
When Li Yifan came down from upstairs, the proprietress Sister Feng was standing at the staircase, saw him, and beckoned to him with a smile.
"Sister Feng, what kind of work do I want to do?" "Come with me." Sister Feng said, leading Li Yifan to a small room behind the front desk, which is where Sister Feng rests when she is not usually busy.
"I've heard your stomach thunder since I came. Oh, the rice is on the table, let's eat it. Li Yifan looked at the table, a big bowl of braised pork stew, and a plate full of cakes, all freshly baked, cut into corners and put away. I'm not hungry right now, and besides, I'm busy upstairs......"
"If you want to eat, you will eat." Sister Feng's eyes widened, and she was about to get angry. Li Yifan didn't dare to argue, sat down and obediently picked up a corner of cake, in fact, he was already hungry. Sister Feng snorted and left satisfied.
Li Yifan gulped down, feeling that he had never eaten such a delicious meal, and he was secretly grateful to Sister Feng for taking care of him, but unfortunately he was unable to repay it now, so he could only work hard.
Three years ago, Li Yifan had no financial resources, and he was sitting on the empty side of his savings. Li Yifan is stubborn again, he is unwilling to ask his father's old friends for help, and he doesn't want to trouble Xiaoguo's family anymore to suffer for himself, so he wants to find a place to do odd jobs during the holidays, at least to solve the cost of eating. But he is a half-old child, he has no strength, no technology, which boss is willing to use him, he was almost deceived several times, thanks to Li Yifan's alertness, he didn't let the liar succeed.
"Fenglai Pavilion" is not far from Li Yifan's house, once he saw that he was recruiting waiters here, and he lied about his age and stayed. Although Sister Feng felt that Li Yifan was too thin, she didn't think much about it, plus Li Yifan was diligent, and he was quickly loved by everyone in the restaurant.
But this matter was still not hidden, and before the summer vacation passed, Sister Feng saw the clues, and she was going to quit Li Yifan, but she couldn't stand Li Yifan's pleading, and Sister Feng was a person with a "knife mouth and tofu heart", so she kept him.
Li Yifan usually has to go to school, and he can only come over after school, but Sister Feng never said anything, but took care of him everywhere. Like today's meal, although people are also included in the restaurant, they only eat the leftovers from the ingredients, how can there be such a good one, at first glance, it is specially made for him. Li Yifan ate all the meals on the table, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and continued to work. It was busy until almost ten o'clock in the evening, when the restaurant was ready to close.
Sister Feng gave an explanation to the people, called Li Yifan over, and stuffed him with an envelope. Li Yifan opened the envelope and saw a stack of red hundred-yuan bills inside, about 1,000 yuan.
"Sister Feng, this is too much, I won't be able to come at noon in the future, and I will ...... at night"
"If you give it to you, you will take it, and if you give you money, you will also take this and keep it for tomorrow in school."
Li Yifan took a paper bag given by Sister Feng and saw that there were two stewed chicken thighs inside. He opened his mouth, didn't speak, clenched his fists, and thought to himself, a manly man, don't be hypocritical, and repay Sister Feng when he has the opportunity in the future.
Of course, Sister Feng didn't know what Li Yifan's mind was doing now, and when she saw him put away all his things, she told him to pay attention to safety on the road, and she was ready to rest.
When Li Yifan got out of the hotel, he was about to pick up his car, and when he walked to his car, he found that a black object next to the car was shaking, and he was shocked, and his steps couldn't help but slow down. But the car can't be without, Li Yifan slowly touched it, and was alarmed by his footsteps, the black thing suddenly pulled up, and by the moonlight in the sky, Li Yifan saw that it was a person who stood up.
Or a beggar is more appropriate, with unkempt hair that is like a chicken coop, glued into locks and unwashed, at first glance it has not been washed for a long time. His face was dirty, his color was invisible, he was wearing a tattered gown that hung almost down to his knees, and a pair of torn sneakers dragged on his feet, revealing his black toes. There was still some distance away, and a stench made Li Yifan frown, God knows how long this beggar hadn't taken a bath.
Knowing that he was a beggar, Li Yifan was no longer nervous, after all, the salary of 1,000 yuan on his body was a huge amount of money for him. He turned around to open the car lock, looked back, and startled him, the beggar didn't know when he was standing behind him, and then Li Yifan found that this dirty beggar had a pair of bright eyes, like two stars twinkling in the night sky, shining, and this beggar didn't seem to be very old?
The little beggar seemed to be frightened and took a step back, but his two eyes were still staring at Li Yifan without blinking. No, Li Yifan followed his gaze, and what the little beggar was really staring at was the paper bag in his right hand, which contained two big chicken legs that Sister Feng specially gave herself.
There was a loud grunt, and the voice was so familiar, Li Yifan just thought that his stomach was screaming, but remembered that he was already full in the restaurant. The little beggar's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, but he stood there quietly, never saying anything.
Li Yifan and the little beggar looked at each other, and after a few seconds, or more, he sighed, took out a chicken leg from the paper bag, and handed it to the little beggar. The little beggar hesitated for a moment, quickly took it, put it under his nose and sniffed, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, and then took a big gulp.
Li Yifan was stunned, didn't say anything, and went home. He pushed the cart and turned into a side alley, from where he could take a shortcut to get home faster. After only a short ride in the alley, several dark shadows suddenly flashed in front of me.
Li Yifan looked at it and saw three people standing opposite. The three of them were all young people in their twenties, with dyed green hair, the leader had an explosive head, and a nose ring was strung around his nose, looking at Li Yifan with a malicious smile.
Li Yifan concluded that these three people were not good roads, and he wanted to exit this small alley after taking a few steps back, and it would be good to get on the main road. But as soon as he took two steps back, he was pushed back, and when he looked back, he saw that two young men in colorful clothes were standing behind him, and a thug with dyed yellow hair kicked the back seat of his car with his feet.
It's broken, it's blocked by them. Li Yifan thought to himself, it seems that today's things can't be good, and he blames himself, and he wants to copy some shortcuts. But no matter how much regret is useless, Li Yifan has never been an escapist person, he quickly judged the strength comparison between the two sides and the environment he was in, and found that it was useless to call for help. Li Yifan stopped the car, took out a few pieces of money from the envelope in his trouser pocket with his right hand, and said to the gangster with the nose ring in the lead: "The eldest brother hasn't come home so late, the meeting is fate, and this money is considered as the younger brother invited a few eldest brothers to drink." ”
"Looks like this little bunny is quite sensible." The exploding head smiled at his companions behind him, and before Li Yifan could breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, the exploding head turned his head and said to him: "Damn, don't come with Lao Tzu for this set, how much money you have in your pocket, take it out for the master." And a mobile phone or something, leaking a dime, see if Lao Tzu doesn't break your paws. ”
Li Yifan took a deep breath, and made a decision in his heart in an instant, turned around and punched the yellow-haired gangster in the nose, the gangster was unstable and was knocked to the ground by a punch, Li Yifan crossed him, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and smashed his fist at the other gangster. The gangster was frightened by Li Yifan's fierce appearance, and sideways avoided Li Yifan's punch, Li Yifan didn't want to entangle with him more, let the gangster run on the way to and fro.
"It's all rubbish!" When the exploding head saw Li Yifan running away, he immediately chased after him, but he didn't expect Li Yifan's speed to get faster and faster, and he couldn't catch up. The exploding head lowered his head and picked up a broken brick from the ground and threw it at Li Yifan. When Li Yifan heard the sound of wind behind him, it was too late, and he was hit on the back by a broken brick, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. There was a burning pain in the back, but now was not the time to look at the injury.
When Li Yifan just got up and was about to continue running, he was kicked to the ground by the thugs who caught up behind him. At this time, the explosive head also chased the rest of the people here, and smiled at Li Yifan: "Run, I'll see where you run." After speaking, a few people kicked at Li Yifan, and the yellow hair who was broken by Li Yifan's nose stared at Li Yifan resentfully, ready to concoct Li Yifan, so that he could vent his hatred.
