Chapter 2 Section 5 Meilian worked hard to get back to her hometown
Mei Lian settled down in the laundry room of the laundry, she put down her luggage, and prepared to do it as soon as possible, anyway, it is based on the piecework fee, the sooner the fare and meal fee are enough, the better, she can return to the countryside as soon as possible, pick up the old lady and go to Guangzhou quickly, Jianguo told her not to delay time on the road, as soon as possible to quietly pick up the old man and return to the army immediately, now the military is tight, I am afraid that the order of the army may move immediately, the army is defeated like a mountain, now the situation is different day by day, She can't lose her wallet because of her negligence and miss the major event of the founding of the country, so no matter how hard it is, it is only temporary, and everything will be fine after finding a way to solve it.
"This sister, you haven't eaten yet, can you come with me into the back room and have a casual bite with us?" Mei Lian was sorting her clothes, and a kind and amiable middle-aged woman came out of the inner room, and came directly to La Mei Lian to eat.
"Hello! You're a hostess, right? I'll hurry up and do the laundry, and you can eat it yourself! Hearing the meal, Meilian's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but she was really embarrassed, even if she was lucky, she met that this laundry was recruiting, so she had this opportunity, and she couldn't climb everything along the pole.
"Don't worry, these clothes are washed on a cloudy day, it's already dark today, and they won't dry out after washing. Our family's meal is very simple, it is to fill the stomach, and the workers often encounter us eating here, and one more person is just an extra pair of chopsticks. The proprietress dragged her into the back room and sat down at the dining table.
"I'm so embarrassed, you're so polite!" Mei Lian's throat was already choked when she said this, she remembered her mother in her hometown, who was often warm and generous to people, and the people in the surrounding towns, whether they were familiar with each other or not, as long as they entered the Wang family, they were all good food and tea, she used to blame her mother for this, and now when she thinks about it, she is white about how important her mother's kindness is to the benefactor.
"It's okay, there are no good dishes, just don't dislike the coarse tea and light rice." The proprietress served her food and served her vegetables.
"Thank you! Thank you! Mei Lian swallowed the bitter tears with the sweet pumpkin soup, this was the first meal in her life that she couldn't tell the taste, she didn't think that she would encounter such a situation, she had always been a giver in the past, and today she suddenly became a recipient, and her heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle and she was uncomfortable and at a loss.
The work of the laundry is very tiring, fortunately, when Meilian was in her mother's house in the past, in order to help her mother share the housework, she took care of the whole family's cleaning clothes, and after getting married and going to the army, she did not stop this work, so now she is not embarrassed in the face of the mountains of dirty clothes, she quickly divided the clothes into piles, washed a few piles in the morning, washed a few piles in the afternoon, and the clothes that were piled up like a mountain soon changed from a mountain to a small mountain, decreasing day by day, with her orderly cleaning and stacking with signs and numbers, The business of the boss at the door has obviously accelerated the speed of dressing, it seems that the business is getting better day by day, and the guests also praise the clothes for being washed and folded neatly, the boss and the boss lady look at all this with indescribable joy in their hearts, sometimes the boss will take the initiative to invite Meilian to eat the meal with vegetables, smile at her, and say: Good sister, you don't want to go back to the countryside, just stay in the provincial capital of Changsha to live a good life, as long as there is no war here, the life is still better than the countryside, and there is a chance to make money, In the future, it will be perfect to find a good family to marry.
Meilian thanked the couple from the bottom of her heart, although she was tired every day, but she had hope, it was enough for her to have entanglement, she had already built a country, and any longing for beauty had nothing to do with her. Every time the proprietress said this, she replied with a smile, saying that she must go back to the countryside, she had no intention of staying in Changsha, which was regarded as telling them her determination.
