Jianjun went to Zhengzhou, I stayed to see the house, Xiaoyu really began to prepare to run the business, in the store holding Jianjun stacks of materials to read, don't understand just ask me, I also know a half, just roughly know what to do, Xiaoyu listened very carefully, she pointed to the words on the information word by word with her fingers, even so, there are a lot of basic words I don't know, which surprised me.

"Xiaoyu, what grade are you in?" I couldn't help but ask her.

Xiaoyu raised her head and thought about it seriously, "It's the third grade, I haven't been in much of it since then." ”

"Why not?"

"My dad thinks I'm a woman, and it's a waste of money to go to school."

"What age is this? How can there be such a thing? "I think it's incredible.

"Sensei said that I went to school, even eating, my mother and I couldn't go to the table," Xiaoyu was interested, put the materials aside, "Once, I was hungry and wanted to eat white flour baked cakes, at that time, I was small, ignorant, and noisy my mother to eat, my mother couldn't resist me, so I went to steal white noodles, white noodles were locked in the hut by my grandmother, there was a small window behind the hut, very high, my mother let me step on her shoulders to climb in, I didn't dare to take more, so I filled my pockets, and I came out, my uncle came back just to meet, that time, The whole family beat me and my mother, and my mother pressed me under her to protect me, and her own back was broken. ”

"You all live together?"

"Well, in a yard."

I can't help but think of when my mom and I ate eggplant endlessly, and I didn't think that there was a younger child being beaten for wanting to eat white bread.

"Fight that, I don't dare to be hungry anymore."

"Who beat you?"

Xiaoyu stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one: "My father, my uncle, my grandmother, and my uncle." ”

"Your uncle beat your mother?"

"Hmm!"

"What right does he have to hit your mother? There's your grandma and your dad! "It's almost impossible for this to happen in a city.

"All the same, all hit."

"And now? Are they nicer to you? "Looking at Xiaoyu, it doesn't look like swallowing her anger.

Xiaoyu didn't care: "It's rare to be good or not, and I'm not at home." ”

"You're not home, where are you? You didn't live at home either? ”

"If I don't live, I'll find someone who can eat and live when I'm looking for a job, and it doesn't matter how much I get paid."

"And where were you doing?"

"Work in our hotel and work as a waiter, oh! By the way, sister-in-law, I've seen you too! You and Brother Su went to dinner. ”

"Really!" I only went to Brother Zhao's place once with Jianjun, and it must be the one where I lived, and I tried to recall the dinner that day, but I didn't remember seeing Xiaoyu.

"You go to the toilet, Director Zhao is afraid that you won't be able to find it, so I asked me to wait for you at the door, did you forget?"

As soon as Xiaoyu said this, I suddenly remembered that the waiter who was standing at the door of the toilet and smiling to show me the way, "Come to remember, isn't it good to work in the hotel, why don't you do it?" ”

"Director Zhao said that girls are not good at doing that, so let me come here."

That's right, especially Xiaoyu is so beautiful.

"Xiaoyu, what kind of relationship are you and Director Zhao?" I'm curious, I don't know what I mean by the "fart relatives" I said that night after the founding of the army.

Xiaoyu, who was talking about the surname Zhengnong, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I can't talk about it, I can't talk about the relatives of the bend, and the relatives of a village are all relatives." ”

"Oh."

Xiaoyu grabbed the materials, flipped through them, and said to me, "Sister-in-law, I think it's almost there, I'll try it tomorrow." ”

"What is it almost? How many have you watched? "I admire Xiaoyu's courage, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, she is a few years younger than me, but she is much better than me in this regard.

"I don't have to see a lot, the first time I went, people don't know about me, and they will definitely not give me expensive things to do, I ask people what they want, I write it down, come back to see if there is, and then go to give someone a reply."

Xiaoyu seems to have really thought about it.

"Start running tomorrow!" Xiaoyu slapped her leg and stood up, as if she had made up her mind.

"Are you okay?" I feel a little hung by the way she looks.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, or Brother Su will have to let me go." Xiaoyu said faintly.

The next day, when I arrived at the store, Xiaoyu had already cleaned up, dressed neatly, and looked full of confidence to embark on the journey.

I was afraid that Xiaoyu was not familiar with the location of the hospital here, so I found a piece of paper and drew a picture for her, but I didn't expect her to even look at it. "Sister-in-law, if I don't go to these big hospitals, people will definitely not take care of me, I take the bus to the small hospitals around, I bought a map, take it with me!" Xiaoyu patted the satchel on her shoulder.

"Do you have any money on you?" I asked Xiaoyu.

"Yes."

"Will you come back for dinner at noon? Buying you good food? ”

"You can't come back, can you? It's so far away, I'll just buy something and eat it out. ”

I suddenly felt a little nagging, and I quickly stopped talking. Watching Xiaoyu go out and walk away, I didn't feel very happy, and I felt helpless and bitter that my relatives were forced to make a living.

I'm alone in the store, bored, approaching the Chinese New Year, people passing by the door every day are basically big bags and small pickups, people are busy with the New Year, they don't have much to worry about shipping, and the phone on the table sometimes doesn't ring for a day.

It turned out that when I was working in the factory, at this time I would take a Sunday to go home and clean up with my mother, but now I do it myself, there is no Saturday and week, and the rent cost of one day is closed for one day.

I wonder how my mom cleaned up? I made a few phone calls, and my mother was afraid of spending money, so she picked up the receiver and said that it was me, "It's good, it's good, the family is fine, you are worried about me." Then he hung up the phone with a "snap", as fast as throwing a grenade to open the safe, and then he didn't answer.

My mother said that the phone is too scary, say the money one by one, don't call if it's okay, it's already thrown in 3,000 yuan, and you can't throw it anymore.

I guess it's okay, when Jianjun comes back, I'll go back a year ago to see if there's anything left unfinished.

Jianjun's parents still celebrate the New Year in their hometown this year as in previous years, their family rules are quite strict, or adhere to the Chinese New Year's Eve The custom of a large family to observe the New Year together, kowtowing to the older generation on the first day of the new year, my grandparents and grandparents are also rural, because my parents are party members, and we have not been like this since I can remember.

Jianjun didn't have a phone call, and it was inconvenient for me to call over, because the company had just opened and encountered this kind of thing, and Jianjun was more uncomfortable than me.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoyu hadn't come back yet, I was a little worried, it was a trivial matter to not be able to run out of business, and people were lost, which was terrible. Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaoyu came back from outside.

Without the high spirits of the morning, Xiaoyu was disgraced, and she knew that it was not good at a glance, what was expected, it was good to be back, I comforted her a few words, and went back to Jianjun's house.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu is very tenacious, for several days in a row, when I arrived at the store, she was not there, probably afraid of meeting me and asking questions, so she couldn't get off the stage, so she deliberately avoided it, and went out early to run business.
