At five o'clock the next morning, Xiaoni was woken up by her alarm clock and her mother's knock on the door. You can't be late for the first day of work, she understands. What's more, I had to get up every day to help my mother sell noodles.

After a simple wash and dress, Pan Xiaoni bought two steamed buns from the bun shop next to her and went to work while eating.

In the morning, the streets were empty, covered with confetti, fluttering with the morning wind, as if to tell the hustle and bustle they had experienced here last night. The big and small horns are all quiet, and they haven't gotten up yet? Probably yesterday they were tired of shouting all day long.

Pan Xiaoni was quietly dawning in this city, and in the bleak autumn wind that was a little cold, she came to the place where she was given a new identity. Several of the eldest sisters and younger sisters have arrived. Some of them are in their forties, some are over thirty, but they all seem to be people with children, and they saw Xiaoni coming. They all greeted her warmly, and women of their age were the most enthusiastic. Compared to those young girls who pretend to be cool, the cold appearance makes people look much more comfortable.

Everyone's enthusiasm quickly drove away the nervousness of the first day of work in Pan Xiaoni's heart. Seeing that she was young, they were particularly concerned about her situation, and asked where her family was, how old she was, what education she had, how she came here, and whether she had a boyfriend? This series of questions made Pan Xiaoni not know how to answer.

When she was slow and methodical, she answered their questions one by one. They started talking again. "Oh, Xiao Pan, it's not that the eldest sister is talking nonsense, you said that your mother is ruthless enough, and she sent such a delicate beautiful daughter to do this kind of work that only an old mother does, Xiao Pan, don't you know, even our fresh food class is the most tired in our supermarket. I have to get up early every day. The person who spoke was Li Jing, the mother of a sixteen-year-old boy. She began to pour bitter water on Xiaoni, and also sighed for her.

"That's right, you said that we yellow-faced women with no diplomas came to do such rough work, and I admit it. But you're still a college student, why don't you find a job in the office, how comfortable it is, why are you here to suffer this crime? "This is Liu Xi, the mother of a six-year-old girl. She was also afraid that Xiaoni would not be able to suffer.

"It's okay, Sister Li, Sister Liu, our family is a noodle restaurant. Well, it's from here to the east to the east to the intersection, and then to the south 500 meters, the east of the road 'long to long' noodle restaurant is our family opened, I have been helping in the store since I was a child, and I have long been used to working hard. You don't have to worry about me. Pan Xiaoni answered the concerns of the two eldest sisters very realistically.

"That's it, you guys, don't worry about it, Xiaoni is not such a delicate person, I have eaten noodles in her store, I have seen her, she can serve six bowls of noodles on a tray, and she has strength. Besides, when people come to our class, I think it's a transition, as long as there is a place in another class, she will be transferred away soon, am I right? Xiao Ni. "This person who spoke for Xiao Ni seems to have been to the store to eat noodles, there are too many people, Xiao Ni can't remember. But even if we know each other today, her name is Zhou Lulu, and she has been married for more than three years, but she has never had children.

Anyway, you see, there will always be some enthusiastic people who gossip about what you do. Women like them are also bored waiting at the door of the supermarket, and they like to talk, so they quickly became familiar with Pan Xiaoni. There are also five or six people who probably belong to the kind of people who don't like to talk nonsense with the living, and they don't talk much, and they don't squeak when they stand aside and listen to what they say.

Talking like this, time did pass quickly, and the ten minutes that everyone waited for passed at once. The security guard on duty at night had already opened the door for them from the inside very punctually.

"Let's be a little quicker, get the car as soon as we get to the store, let's get the goods." And don't touch anything around you, there are cameras everywhere and you have to pay for breaking something. The one who gave the order was their section leader, Lin Mili in a yellow vest, "Also, new colleague, your name is Pan Xiaoni, Manager Bi told me yesterday." The overalls haven't been issued to you yet, so you can wear mine first. When they get to work, I'll apply for it for you. Now you follow Sister Li and them to load the goods first, Sister Li, Xiao Pan just came, you have to bring her more. ”

"Well, okay, no problem, don't worry, Tutor." Although Li Jing is old, her personality is still lively.

"Yo, girl, this is the master, now it's okay, you can invite everyone to dinner at noon." Everyone was joking with her.

"Okay, let's go to Xiao Ni's house to eat noodles at noon, Xiao Ni, you have to add more meat sauce to your sisters." Ha ha. ”

"Haha, okay, let's go today, you don't need money to eat noodles, I'm invited." Xiao Ni said generously.

"How can you, you haven't received your salary yet, how can you invite, you want to invite, or wait for the salary to be paid, and invite us to a big meal." Li Jing pushed the small truck from the fresh food class, everyone got on the freight elevator, and went up from the basement floor to the ground, along the way, everyone talked and laughed, Pan Xiaoni's mood was not nervous all of a sudden, and the sense of restraint of the newcomer disappeared.

Everyone came to the warehouse area behind the supermarket. A box of cargo is being unloaded down. It's all fresh vegetables, fruits, pears and peaches. Lin Mili beckoned everyone to hurry over and help. The people in the warehouse also greeted them warmly.

Do you have to do this kind of work? Pan Xiaoni thought to herself, this is all a job of manipulation. Baskets of vegetables are very heavy. Why do you want girls to do this? She didn't know that the work was like this, the vegetables were brought by the procurement staff, and in order to do their best, everyone had to hurry up and weigh the acceptance. Sorted, baled, loaded onto trolleys, and transported to the store. Some are particularly dirty, and they need to be washed. These are all within the scope of their work. Besides, everyone is also a gust of wind when they get to work, and in order to get the goods on before the supermarket opens, where will be so clear.

Alas, Pan Xiaoni knows that she has to do it if she doesn't want to, everyone else does it, unless you don't want to stay here. She had to help unload and move the goods. Alas, this box of fruit is really heavy. Soon everyone was tired and sweating profusely, and Pan Xiaoni felt that her arms were almost unable to lift.

"Xiaoni, come here, help me wash these little melons, you said that these vegetables are really good, why do you make the vegetables so dirty. It's all mud, and it's going to be on the store, but how can you sell it? When the store manager saw it, he didn't have to fine us again. Li Jing saw that Xiaoni had finished unloading, so she asked her to come over to wash the vegetables.

"Oh, this dish still needs to be washed so clean?" Pan Xiaoni thought to herself, doesn't this customer have to wash it when he buys it home? Why do we have to wash so clean, it's early autumn weather, the water is so cold, we don't even have latex gloves, it hurts so much.

However, seeing Li Jing washing the melon with her cracked hand, she was embarrassed to say that she didn't wash it. So I took a small melon and washed it on the running water. As soon as she came into contact with the water, she immediately felt a piercing pain in her fingers, and then realized that her long nails were cracked. I didn't feel it when I was carrying it with my hand just now, but now when I am stimulated by the water, I immediately feel pain.

"Oops, it hurts, my hand." Blood gushed out. Pan Xiaoni's painful tears flowed down the ground.

"Why, Xiao Ni, ah, my hand is broken. Come and show the eldest sister, oh, the nails are cracked. Li Jing saw that Xiao Ni cried out in pain as soon as she started washing the vegetables, and saw that the red blood was stained on the small melon. I picked up her hand to see what was going on, only to find that her nails were cracked. Li Jing hurriedly called Zhou Lulu and asked her to bring a band-aid from the warehouse.

"Work here with us, you can't keep your nails so long, come, I'll cut you short. Otherwise, not only will this crack hurt when touched, but the others may also break or crack again. As she spoke, Li Jing used the nail clippers on her keychain to cut all Pan Xiaoni's nails short. Then he wiped her hands with toilet paper and wrapped a band-aid around her.

"Thank you, Sister Li, alas, it's a pity, I've kept my nails for a long time, and they're gone." Pan Xiaoni said with some distress.

"Okay, Xiaoni, there will be sacrifices in doing work. You're just a big kid, and you haven't suffered yet. Forget it, don't do this washing work yet. Let's help Lulu and the others transport the food, and then pile up in the store. After all, Li Jing is a person who can already be Xiaoni's mother, and she has a very maternal brilliance. She couldn't help but feel childlike love for Xiaoni. Let her put down the little melon and go to the loading work.

Pan Xiaoni politely said thank you to the eldest sister she had just met, and then went to Zhou Lulu. Lin Mili saw this qiē in her eyes, and immediately saw that there was one more person in Yuncai, and her manager's consciousness immediately came up, this will not work, she will work in a nest, so she asked one of the three people in Yuncai to help Li Jing wash the vegetables.

In this way, Pan Xiaoni and Zhou Lulu began to transport vegetables. It's not a light job. They first loaded the sorted vegetables into the hydraulic trolley one by one. Thirty-centimeter plastic baskets are placed on top of the trolley with six bottoms, and then three high stomps are stacked on top of them. That's eighteen chests. The two of them pulled one in front and the other pushed in the back, pushing three or four hundred pounds of goods into the freight elevator.

Then the two of them went down to the basement level through the guò freight elevator and took the goods to the store.

At this time, the store was already lively. Because like the fresh food area, it is with non-staple foods. Those who make steamed buns and cold dishes and snacks have already come. There are also those who sell aquatic products and cold meat, they are all rented stores, and now they are also busy with their work. Like the staff in the fresh food section, they also have to clean, load the goods, and prepare the store before it opens.

Fresh food and non-staple foods are the first areas to get busy when the store opens. The old man and the old lady who buy groceries are the first customers in the store every day. Therefore, the people from these two districts were the earliest to come, and they were the most busy in the morning.
