Bai Ye accompanied Chen Xiaodi for a few days before leaving, shopping, visiting parks, drinking milk tea, eating snacks, playing games, in short, all Chen Xiaodi likes things.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Ye is going back to school to continue his practical project, and Bai Dad went back to the provincial capital the day before and has started to work today. After lunch, Chen Xiaodi and Bai's mother sent Bai Ye to the high-speed rail station outside the city, compared to the two days when the score was just released, Chen Xiaodi's state has been much better, at least she is no longer sad all day long.

"So you're going to be out of town in a few days?"

"Well, I won't be back in school until school starts."

"Isn't that even the Lantern Festival over?"

"Probably, but it's okay, I've been like this for the past few years, and I'm used to it."

"Then I'll eat a few more glutinous rice balls for you just like in previous years."

Chen Xiaodi smiled sweetly and stuffed Bai Ye with a few fruits that her mother had packed for her before going out.

"Xiao Ye, you should pay attention to your safety outside, take care of yourself, don't be too tired, call us if you have something."

"I know Mom, you go back, the sun will be big in a while, and a little lazy cat should be sleepy again."

Bai Ye said softly, turned his head to look at Chen Xiaodi, and saw her yawn loudly. Hearing Bai Ye's words, Chen Xiaodi laughed softly, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes laughed.

When I got home, there was no one in the living room, Chen's father went to work, Chen's mother was in her bedroom, Chen Xiaodi didn't make a sound, and went back to her room lightly. Taking out her mobile phone, Chen Xiaodi found that the message she sent to Belle before had finally been replied to, she sighed faintly and chatted with Belle.

"I'm really going to recruit someone new recently, are you sure you want to come?"

"I should be sure, my parents...... There's a high probability that they won't agree to me taking the test again, but I really don't want to work as they say, so I can only go to you. ”

"I'm fine, but I have to say it first, the basic salary can only pay you 15,000, but there is a commission, live with me, and I will also cover the food."

"Okay, just have food and shelter, as long as there is a place to read."

"I don't have anything to do with you reading books, but don't just read books, the business of the store can't be delayed."

"Don't worry."

"Can you come over recently?"

"Lately? Can't it be a little later? ”

"Within this month, the girl who is looking at the store with me now will leave in a while, you give me an answer quickly, if you can't come, I can recruit someone in advance."

"Okay."

Belle and Chen Xiaodi took the college entrance examination in the same year, and I remember Belle told her that the girl who is now visiting the store with her is a little younger than her, and like her, she didn't go to school after graduating from high school, and she has changed jobs many times before coming to work here.

As for the reason for changing jobs, Chen Xiaodi can also guess from Belle's description, the girl starts playing games every day when she arrives at the store, and she doesn't clean, so she is happy to go to other stores to get the goods, and sometimes she even pretends not to hear it, as if she is Belle's boss.

In the evening, Belle has rested, and she still plays games with others on the voice, often talking and not listening, such a person, it is no wonder that every job cannot last long. According to her own account, she has been with Belle for the longest time, and this is probably because of Belle's good temper.

After dinner, Chen's mother took Chen Xiaodi out for a shopping trip, and as expected, she asked about her job search, Chen Xiaodi didn't want to answer, but after being nagged by her own mother, she still told her the idea of going to Belle to help her look at the store.

"And how much does she pay you a month?"

"One thousand and five, including food and housing, there is a commission, and I still have time to read."

"Reading a book? What's there to see? You can't pass the exam for two years, and you are guaranteed to be able to pass the exam for another year? ”

Chen Xiaodi pursed her lips, regretting that she had brought up this topic, although Chen's mother was not as direct as Chen's father, but Chen Xiaodi knew that she, like Chen's father, felt that she could not pass the exam from the bottom of her heart.

"Then I can't go to work! Can't I show Belle the store? Let's go! Leave tomorrow! Save yourself from being upset when you look at me! ”

Chen Xiaodi said indignantly and strode forward.

"What is there to go for fifteen hundred yuan, it is better to go to work in the pharmacy as I said!"

"Isn't it just going to work? It's not all the same! The salary is enough for my pocket money! ”

"You're going to fight me, aren't you?"

"Aren't you going to let me go to work? Then why are you stopping me when I'm going now?! ”

"Can that little salary support you?! Can you mix it up for a lifetime? I really don't want to repay my kindness, I want to see your father's face, but also your face, I am simply a punching bag for the two of you! ”

Chen's mother would speak loudly every time she was emotional, and it was the same now, causing passers-by to look back at the mother and daughter.

"Punching bag? I'm your punching bag, right? My dad has always looked down on me, he talks about me at every turn, and so do you, yelling at me whenever there is something upset, no matter what I say or do, as long as it is different from your ideas, it is wrong, I just know that I won't understand your hard work, when did you understand me?! ”

Chen Xiaodi's mood that had finally calmed down was turbulent again at this moment, she tried to hold back her tears and walked home quickly, and she didn't look back until she entered the door.

"I may not be able to come for a while, I'll see in a few days."

"What's wrong?"

"My mom didn't approve of me going, and she just had a fight with me."

"Can you figure it out as soon as possible? It's going to take a while for me to recruit, and it's almost the middle of the month. ”

"I want to go, if I have enough pocket money, I'll buy my own ticket and go to you."

"Then if I give you the ticket money, can you come over in these two days?"

"I ...... I'll give you an answer tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

Putting down the phone, Chen Xiaodi opened a blank document and typed in a frustrated manner, and deleted them after writing a few lines. This night, Chen Xiaodi was thinking about what she had talked about with Belle before, and she didn't sleep well at night, but at the moment, she didn't seem to have any other choice but to go to her.

When she woke up in a daze, it was already noon, there was the sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen, and there was a burst of aroma of food, Chen Xiaodi came to the dining table after washing, there were only three simple dishes on the table in addition to rice, which was not very to her appetite, but she still ate it woodenly.

"What are your plans for the future?"

It was Chen's father who spoke, his tone was very calm, Chen Xiaodi was silent for a while before he said lightly, "If you can have a plan, go to work." ”

"Do you still want to take the test?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiaodi was stunned and a little surprised.
