"Dad, I have to walk the road by myself in the future, even if you love me again, you can't replace me, right? In that case, why can't you just let me try? Even if it really doesn't work, I'm still so young, it's too late to make a change. ”

What Sun Chen said at this moment was really a bit similar to that time, but he was a little older, and his words were no longer as impulsive as they sounded at the beginning.

"Since your determination is so great, if I stop you from doing it, it will seem that my father is too unreasonable. It's like you said, you have to make your own decisions about your own life. In this way, you can start by helping out in the restaurant for a while, and if you feel that you can't do it, you can immediately find another job to do. The treatment is the same as inviting others, you have to do the same thing, if you cheat or cheat, or break the plate or something, you will have to deduct your wages. ”

"Hmmm! Thank you Dad, I knew you would support me. Sun Chen nodded vigorously, extremely excited.

In fact, Dad is just a little stricter than Mom, and it's a little hard to talk, as long as you make sense with him, it's still quite easy to discuss!

……

Now that it has been discussed, Sun Chen rested at home for another day, and then went to the unit to resign. Because the benefits were not good, the boss who was planning to lay off employees suddenly shook his hand at Sun Chen, an employee who had no impression, but he didn't say anything, and signed and agreed very happily.

It just so happened that the salary was just paid a few days ago, and it was only a few days this month, and Sun Chen took a leave of absence because of a fever, so he didn't have to bother struggling to settle the salary. After packing up his own things and saying hello to a few colleagues who usually chat, Sun Chen went home with the box.

Before dawn the next morning, Sun Chen was called up by his father, yawning and following him to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

The motor tricycle did not have a carport, and Sun Chen sat in the body, wrapped in a thick military coat and shivering a little.

During this time, the day was already quite warm, he didn't expect it to be so cold at this time, Dad had to get up early every day to buy vegetables, was he so guilty?

"Frozen, right? Let's go grocery shopping first, and when we come out of the market, we will go to the porridge stall over there for breakfast. As soon as the tricycle stopped at the gate of the market, Sun Jianjun took off the safety helmet on his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at his son with a smile.

"Hmm." Sun Chen rubbed his hands, took out a paper and wiped the frozen snot.

The market is huge, but it seems to be very chaotic because of the people coming and going.

All kinds of vendors selling vegetables, meat, chickens, ducks and fish are busy greeting customers, and their mouths are constantly shouting.

Then there is Sun Jianjun, the purchasing staff who shouted to the vendors while walking suddenly shouted at which vendor, Sun Chen felt that this scene was a little more lively than when his grandmother Sun Yang quarreled with the neighbors.

However, everything on the market is very new to him now, and it is not boring to look around.

"Fish soldier, leave me seven or eight black fish, two and a half to three catties each." Sun Jianjun shouted to a short and fat middle-aged man who was killing fish and removing scales for his guests.

"Okay! I'll pick it up for Brother Sun in a while. The fish soldier agreed without raising his head as he worked.

"His name is Yu Hongbing, but because he sells fish, everyone calls him a fish soldier. We buy fish, mainly to make boiled fish or sizzling fish, which is too big to price. ”

This sentence was said to Sun Chen, who looked curious.

Sun Chen turned his head to look at Yu Bing again, remembering his general appearance, and then turned his head and nodded at Sun Jianjun.

It seems that Dad is his old customer, and he knows who it is just by listening to the voice.

Sun Jianjun seemed very satisfied with his son's reaction. originally thought that he would follow him to the market this time, that is, to recognize the way, but looking at his posture, he planned to really do it seriously!

Sun Jianjun took his son and went to pork stalls, cooked food stalls, vegetable stalls, spice shops, and grain and oil stores. Watching him bargain with others to place orders, then pay, and then turn around and leave, the speed at which he spent money was really brushing the ground, which made Sun Chen on the side feel distressed.

Just now he kept remembering in his heart that Dad had spent at least more than 2,000 yuan this time. Although these are the funds that must be invested to open a restaurant, Sun Chen, who has been penniless for several years, is still a little reluctant.

In addition to being reluctant, Sun Chen's strongest feeling was shock.

Before that, he only knew from Sun Chen's memory that the material richness of this world was extremely rich, and he never had an intuitive impression.

After coming here, Sun Chen suddenly discovered that although the Apocalypse Dynasty he once stayed in had always boasted of being a great country, and the peaceful and prosperous era had been maintained for decades, the standard of living was really much worse than the world in front of him.

There are a wide variety of vegetables and meat, only you can't think of it, you can't find it, some seasonings and seafood that he has never seen before, are just stacked there for guests to choose. As long as you have money, you can take it away. These are all happiness that ordinary people can easily attain!

Sun Chen bet that even Emperor Tianyun, who was the most noble in the Apocalypse Dynasty, must not have seen so many good things.

"Okay, now go drive the tricycle, pull things and let's go to dinner."

Seeing his son's absent-mindedness, Sun Jianjun thought he was a little hungry, "The beef soup there is delicious, and it is simply enjoyable with their own scallion pancakes." ”

Sun Chen smiled and nodded at him.

There were too many things to buy, and when all the things were loaded into the car, the entire body was already full, and there was no place for Sun Chen to sit.

That's embarrassing.

"Let's go eat first, and when you're done eating, you can take the bus by yourself!"

Sun Jianjun made a quick decision.

"Okay."

Sun Chen smiled bitterly, it seemed that there was only that.

Fortunately, although he has never been here, he can still find the way to take the bus in his memory.

The beef soup business is booming, and it has long been full of people like Sun Jianjun who come to the market early in the morning to buy things. There are also stalls selling soy milk fritters, baked cakes, etc., and there are many people around.

Seeing that Sun Chen had been staring at those stalls, Sun Jianjun couldn't cry or laugh, "Why, your mother hasn't cooked for you at home for the past two days?" It was as if I had been hungry for ten days and half a month. ”

Sun Chen was embarrassed, in fact, it wasn't that he was hungry by his mother, it was the fragrance of those things that lingered in his nose, so he really couldn't help but want to taste it.

"Dad, let's have less scallion pancakes, and buy another baked pancake to eat!" In the end, the desire for food overcame the shame in his heart, and Sun Chen raised his courage to ask.

"Okay, I want two more fritters, fried dough sticks between baked cakes, you liked to eat this the most when you were a child." It is rare for his son to be coquettish to himself, Sun Jianjun nodded without hesitation, "I don't want to buy a bowl of spicy soup anymore, and I sweat when I drink it." ”

The spicy soup is a perfect match.

For his son, Sun Jianjun will never be stingy, anyway, when the half-grown son is eating a lot (meaning eating a lot, eating a lot), drinking an extra bowl of soup is nothing.

When it was time to settle the bill, the two of them spent more than 30 yuan, which made Sun Chen feel distressed, you must know that now the lean pork is only twelve yuan a catty, and they actually ate three catties of pork for this meal!

Speaking of pork, Sun Chen was happy again, in his time, the fatter the pork, the more popular it was, and no one wanted the all-thin one, because there was no oil to be refined at home when he bought it. But I didn't expect to get here, it's just the opposite, everyone pursues a healthy diet, the lean meat, the more they scramble to get it, and the fat meat is no one cares about.

There are also those pig bones, pigs in the water, which used to be a head, and they were not worth anything at all, but now they are more expensive than pork.

I really can't figure it out!

Sun Jianjun explained a few words and drove back to the restaurant in a tricycle, leaving Sun Chen to cross a road alone and wait for the bus at the stop sign.

At this time, there are already a lot of people waiting for work. There were a lot of people waiting for the bus, and there was a long queue. Sun Chen only noticed at this time that there were many young girls who were wearing very little, which made him a little afraid to raise his eyes to look.

Because in addition to men in the company where he works, only the sweeping aunt is left, and he has traveled over the past few days, in addition to staying in the hospital, it is the first time he has seen a young girl of this era.

Compared with the era in which he lived, their dresses can be said to be quite explicit and bold. Because even the girls in the flower building are just wearing clothes that are a little brighter, and their faces are smeared with a little more rouge and gouache, but like them, they casually expose their arms and thighs to strangers, which is to be laughed at by everyone.

There were no empty seats on the bus, so Sun Chen could only stand there with his bracelet in hand, swaying. But even so, it was much more comfortable than the bullock cart he had done when he had been to town, or at least it was not so bumpy, as if it were about to break the bones of his body.

The bus stopped and stopped, and after about an hour, it finally reached the street where Dad's restaurant was located.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?" The helper in the restaurant, Huazi greeted him with a smile when he saw Sun Chen, and at the moment he was wiping the table with a rag.

"Well, Huazi, I'll come here to work in the future. We've become colleagues, so you need to take care of it. Sun Chen quipped at him.

Huazi is a very honest young man, his family is in the countryside, because his family is poor, he only graduated from junior high school and came out to work, and now he is only twenty years old, but he has been in Grandpa's restaurant for more than two years.

Hearing Sun Chen's words, he looked a little incredulous, and then turned his head to look at his boss.

"From today on, let Ah Chen work with you, if there is anything you want him to do, don't be polite to him, just open your mouth and command." Sun Jianjun's words can be regarded as proof for Sun Chen.

"You ...... The work of a programmer, no, not done? As soon as Huazi is nervous, he stutters a little, which is why he is reluctant to stay in a factory with a lot of people.

Living in a dormitory with them all day, let them know that he would stutter when he was nervous, and those people laughed at him.

Working in this fast food restaurant, although it is tiring and the work is more tedious, but the boss and his wife are good people, and they have never made fun of themselves because of this, but after knowing their shortcomings, they took the initiative to find a part-time worker who was responsible for greeting guests and asked him to help in the kitchen during meal time.

"Well, that job is too brain-consuming, and I'm afraid that if I continue to do it, I'll really become extremely smart. Tell me, what am I going to do now? ”

"Then, you just wipe down these tables, wash the rags when you're done, and wipe all the chairs one by one."

Huazi is a real person, since Sun Chen opened his mouth to ask, he unceremoniously handed him the so-called rag.

Sun Chen was not ambiguous, took the rag and rolled up his sleeves and dried.

When he first started, Sun Chen was full of energy and hummed a small tune in his mouth, but when he wiped down more than a dozen tables, he couldn't sing.

This body sits and works all year round, and does not exercise often, so it has always maintained a posture and bent over to wipe the table, and it is really tired.

Thinking that there were still dozens of chairs waiting to be wiped by himself, Sun Chen let out a long sigh.

But compared to the days when I was busy like a spinning top all day long and didn't stop for a moment, this little bit of work is really nothing. I comforted myself in my heart, when this body adapts to such labor intensity, it will not be so tired, so bear with it now!

Hua Zi had already wiped the glass door of the restaurant, and at this moment, he was about to mop the floor with the washed mop, and when he saw that Sun Chen had not finished the work he had assigned, he put down the mop and began to help Sun Chen wipe the chair.

"Uh, am I doing it too slowly?" Sun Chen said with some embarrassment.

"It's not slow for you to do this kind of work for the first time." Huazi smiled, "Besides, with your help, I'm much easier!" ”

The two of them worked together to clean up the entire restaurant, and Sun Jianjun and Leng Yue also finished the work in the kitchen.

It was exactly half past ten, and the hourly worker who had been hired arrived at the restaurant on time.

At this time, guests came in to eat in the restaurant one after another, although Sun Chen was working in the restaurant for the first time, but he also ate a lot of meals outside, knowing that the waiter should do nothing, he seemed very flustered.

In addition, he has just come into contact with these things, and he is very enthusiastic about customers, which has invisibly made the business in the restaurant a lot better.

After being so busy, Sun Chen suddenly heard a gurgling sound from his stomach.

He took out his phone and looked at the time, and it was already past two o'clock.

At this time, there were not many people in the restaurant, and Leng Yue and Sun Jianjun walked out of the kitchen with two large plates of vegetables one after the other, "Okay, let's clean up and wash our hands first, we should also eat." ”
