(77) Arrived at the destination
Jingrou took advantage of the chat with this big brother Hu, and quickly asked him how to make a phone call from Japan to China, and he immediately drove very enthusiastically, while taking out a phone card from his bag and handing it to Jingrou and said: "You can use this card to call anywhere in China from a public phone or mobile phone in Japan, and when you get to a place where you can rest in a while, I will teach you how to use it!" â
Jingrou happily took the calling card immediately, and as soon as Brother Hu finished speaking, she said to him with a smile: "Brother Hu, sell me this card, otherwise I won't know how to call home in the future!" I happened to have some yen cash with me, and I'll give it to you directly when I take a break. â
"Okay, no problem! You don't have to worry too much, it's only your first day in Japan, and you'll know what to do when you get acquainted with the environment. â
Jingrou nodded very gratefully and said, "Well, in fact, what I'm most worried about now is that I am afraid that I will not be able to contact my family, so that my family will follow me and get angry." Well, now I have Brother Hu's phone card, I can feel much more at ease, thank you, Brother Hu! â
Brother Hu tilted his head with a smile and glanced at Jing Rou and said, "I see that you are in a good mental state, not at all like other girls who came to Japan for the first time, they are so nervous that they don't even dare to speak!" â
Jingrou smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Really? In fact, I was very nervous before I met Brother Hu, and I thought that after I arrived in Japan, all the people I came into contact with were Japanese! It's not easy for everyone to go out of the country, and it's probably inevitable to feel nervous! I don't want to think about anything else now, I just want to get into the groove and get back to work! â
Brother Hu couldn't help but glance at Jingrou again and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem for you to see it, I won't be wrong!" â
"Hehe, I'll borrow your auspicious words!"
The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the rest place next to the highway, and as soon as the car was parked, Brother Hu immediately taught Jingrou how to use the phone card, and Jingrou also handed over the money of the phone card directly to him, and then Brother Hu lent his mobile phone to Jingrou to make a call home, but because he was afraid that the phone bill would be too expensive, Jingrou didn't dare to say anything.
Jingrou just reported her safety to her mother on the other end of the phone, told her mother that she had arrived in Japan safely, and would contact her when she was settled, and asked her baby daughter if she was crying. Hearing the mother say that the baby was very good, there was no trouble at all, and after listening to the mother's instructions to pay attention to her body and be careful in everything, Jingrou hurriedly hung up the phone.
After Brother Hu took a short rest, the two of them got on the highway again and ran directly to their destination, Kumamoto.
The scenery on this journey is completely different from what she imagined before coming to Japan, and instead of seeing the vast and endless sea, Jingrou continues to see mountain peaks one after another. It's summer in July, and it's a pleasant place to see as far as the eye can see. However, Jingrou's heart has been thinking about what her mother said on the phone just now, she knows that her mother must be afraid of her sadness, so she deliberately said that the baby is very well-behaved, in fact, she knows very well in her heart, the baby daughter can't find her, this mother is not weird! It's just that the distance between her and her daughter is so far away, even if the baby cries and makes trouble, she can't take care of the whip, and now she can do something for her baby daughter in addition to working hard to make money!
Maybe they both felt a little tired, after setting off from the rest place, Jing Rou and Brother Hu didn't chat anymore, one looked out the window and thought about his own thoughts while looking at the scenery, and the other was looking ahead and driving intently.
I don't know how many hours of walking, just when it was almost dark, they finally left the highway and entered the city, and then came from the bustling city to a small town that seemed a little quiet.
After driving for more than half an hour, Jingrou raised her hand and looked at her watch, the time showed that it was already more than 6:30 in the evening, and she immediately couldn't help asking: "Brother Hu, how long will it take for us to arrive?" â
Brother Hu glanced at Jingrou and said with a smile: "The time difference between Japan and China is an hour, your current watch should be Chinese time, and now the time in Japan is more than 7:30 in the evening." â
Jing Rou immediately came to her senses and said, "Oh, I see, it looks like I have to set my watch back by an hour." â
Brother Hu looked ahead again and continued: "There are 2 minutes ahead, and you will be at your place of work, you can tidy it up, and I will help you get the suitcase in a while." â
"Okay, thank you, Brother Hu!"
After speaking, Jingrou quickly picked up her handbag, took out a small mirror from it and looked at the makeup on her face. Because Jingrou has always worn light makeup, although she hasn't touched up her makeup since the morning, it doesn't seem that there is anything wrong with it, so after she felt that there was nothing wrong with her makeup, she quickly tidied up the clothes on her body.
After Brother Hu stopped the car, he got out of the car directly and went to the trunk to get Jingrou's suitcase. Because it was very dark, Jingrou couldn't figure out where she was, she didn't know what it was, so she didn't think much about it and followed Brother Hu out of the car, and then walked with him into a neon inlaid shop that looked like karaoke, bars and the like.
Brother Hu walked directly inside in front, and when Jingrou, who was following behind, had just walked to the corridor, and before he could enter the hallway, he suddenly stopped and turned his head and said that Jingrou would wait in the corridor first, and then he would go in alone to find the shopkeeper.
Jingrou stood alone in the somewhat dark corridor, she couldn't see anything inside, she just vaguely heard the sound of someone singing inside, it felt as if there were a lot of people and it was lively, and she suddenly felt a little nervous.
However, the nervous Jingrou didn't wait long in the corridor, and Brother Hu walked out of it with a smile with a young man who was not tall, and the two of them had been communicating in Japanese, and they also walked in front of Jingrou together.
Brother Hu introduced the man to Jingrou and said, "This is the manager of this store and the little boss." His surname is Suzuki, and you can call him the store manager in the future. â
Jingrou didn't know what to say, so she could only look at the Suzuki store manager with a smile and nodded politely. As soon as the Suzuki store manager saw Jingrou, his face immediately smiled, and he nodded to Jingrou and spoke. Although Jingrou couldn't understand what he was saying, she knew from a glance at his expression that the Suzuki store manager should be very satisfied with herself.
Brother Hu then said to Explanation Jingrou: "Now you can follow the store manager Suzuki and listen to his arrangement, I will go to the store to sit for a while, and then leave when I think you have no problem." â
"Okay, thank you, Brother Hu!"
After Jingrou finished speaking, she followed the manager of Suzuki to a room in the store, and when she walked inside, she knew that it must be a women's dressing room. After the store manager put Jingrou's suitcase away, he immediately went out with a smile, leaving Jingrou standing alone in the dressing room, a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do next.
At this moment, a girl wearing a cheongsam with snow-white skin suddenly walked in with a smile, and as soon as she saw Jingrou, she immediately greeted her warmly and said, "Hello, my name is Meng Qi!" â
As soon as she heard that the girl was speaking Chinese, Jingrou's nervousness was relieved a lot, and she quickly greeted her with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Yao Jingrou!" â
Meng Qi walked up to Jingrou and asked her, "Are you coming to Japan for the first time, don't you know a word of Japanese?" â
Jing Rou replied a little embarrassed, "Yes, I only know the alphabet." â
Meng Qi continued to smile and asked, "It's okay, did you bring your work clothes?" â
Jingrou immediately nodded and said, "Well, I have brought it, and it's all in the suitcase!" â
"Then you can change it quickly, and when you finish changing, I will take you into the store to work."
As soon as the words fell, Meng Qi immediately turned around and went out with a smile.
Jingrou didn't dare to delay, and quickly opened the suitcase, she took out a white cheongsam from inside, and then quickly changed the cheongsam again.
As soon as the cheongsam was changed, the girl named Meng Qi walked in again, she saw that Jingrou was already dressed neatly, so she beckoned the Suzuki store manager behind her to come over, and then the Suzuki store manager said a word, and Meng Qi translated a sentence for Jingrou.
Meng Qi told Jingrou, "The store manager asked you to follow me from today until you can speak Japanese and you can work on your own." â
When Jingrou heard this, she immediately smiled happily and said, "That's great, I'll trouble you in the future!" â
At this time, the manager of Suzuki, who had been smiling, said a lot of words to Meng Qi, and then he nodded to Jingrou with a smile and went out.
Jing Rou looked at Meng Qi with a puzzled expression, and Meng Qi quickly explained to Jing Rou with a smile: "Because we all have to take a Japanese name to work in the store, so that when customers come to the store, they can find us to help them serve, so the store manager also gave you a name just now called Nagisa (ăȘăă)." â
Meng Qi paused, but saw that Jingrou listened very carefully, so she continued to say: "We all call each other Japanese names in the store, my Japanese name is Hikari (ăČăă), you can call me Hikari directly in the future, but in Japanese!" â
Jingrou nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, I can read and write Japanese letters, as long as you tell me how to write, I know what to say." â
After thinking about it, Jingrou asked Meng Qi again, "Then what kind of work are we going to do Meng Qi?" â
Meng Qi explained seriously: "We mainly help the store sell wine, carry some food and meals fixed in the store, and also help customers order songs, because each song also has to be charged." In addition to getting a fixed salary every month, we will have a commission for every bottle of wine and a plate of food sold, and after we have our own regular guests, as long as the guests click your name, we will also have a commission. â
"Oh, I see, when I came, I only knew that it was the work of a waiter, and it seems to be about the same!"
Jingrou finally knew the specific work now, and she didn't feel so nervous at all.
