Zhang Nanyan said embarrassedly: "Boss, can I ask for a leave after nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will definitely rush back before noon!" ”

Mao Ruijie stopped, turned to her and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I have something to do to go to the hospital."

"What's wrong? Sick? Mao Ruijie asked with concern.

"No, it's not ......" Zhang Nanyan quickly explained: "I'm looking for someone, not getting sick." Don't worry, I'll be back before eleven o'clock, and I won't miss lunch. ”

Mao Ruijie breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I'm not sick." Xiao Zhang, you don't have to rush back, don't be tired. You've done a good job these days, and tomorrow I'll give you a half-day off and come back in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Nanyan bowed again and again and thanked him.

She suddenly felt as if a shadow was pressing down on her head, and she looked up.

I saw Mao Ruijie stretching out a hand, and when I saw her raise her head, that hand paused awkwardly in mid-air, turning to the bottle of drink on the table.

Mao Ruijie picked up the drink and stuffed it into Zhang Nanyan's hand: "This, you drink it." ”

After speaking, Mao Ruijie walked away in a bit of a panic.

"Brother Jie, I made you tea."

Mao Lianhua, the girl who helped the cook, held a large teacup and greeted Mao Ruijie.

Mao Ruijie took the teacup and immediately put it to his mouth.

"Be careful, ...... hot"

Before Mao Lianhua could finish speaking, Mao Ruijie was already burned by the hot tea, and the tea spilled on the clothes on his chest, wetting a large area.

"Is it hot, Brother Jie?" Mao Lianhua stretched out her hand and touched Mao Ruijie's chest to help him wipe the water marks on his body: "I don't know if it's slow, take it off quickly, I'll wash it for you." ”

Mao Ruijie opened Mao Lianhua's hand: "Don't move your hands and feet!" ”

As he spoke, Mao Ruijie unconsciously glanced at Zhang Nanyan and walked to the back kitchen with a teacup.

Leaving Mao Lianhua stunned, confused.

"What's the matter, wasn't it always like this before?"

The women playing cards next to them laughed, and said in the direction of Nanyan with their mouths, and said in a strange tone: "Of course it's different now than before." ”

Mao Lianhua looked over and saw Zhang Nanyan sitting by the window reading a book, she was stunned at first, and then snorted vigorously.

"Pretend! Not all working girls! ”

"Come, come, play cards."

The sound of playing cards became noisy.

Zhang Nanyan looked at the book in her hand and didn't read a word for a long time. She couldn't help but think of when she was working in the county, Lu Chao's entanglement with her and the indifferent bystanders of others, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, that encounter was something she didn't even dare to recall when she had a nightmare.

In the afternoon's work, Mao Lianhua began to stir up trouble and find trouble, but no matter how mean Mao Lianhua was, Zhang Nanyan did not reply or resist, and only buried herself in work.

It's a pity that in this society, it is not her duty, so she can avoid rumors.

In the evening, after the students left the cafeteria, everyone started cleaning.

Zhang Nanyan washed the mop and began to mop the floor of the canteen.

Immediately, a young man came to offer his courtesy: "Xiao Zhang, I'll help you drag." ”

"No, no."

The young man couldn't help but say, grab it and drag it. "I have a lot of strength, I'll help you."

Zhang Nanyan had no choice but to take a rag to wipe the table.

"Don't wipe it, don't wipe it, I'll wipe it in a while...... Your hands are so tender, don't soak in dirty water......"

The discussion buzzed from ear to ear, Zhang Nanyan only felt that everyone was pointing at her, and everyone's eyes seemed to say: "Look, she is a shameless woman who seduces men!" ”

Zhang Nanyan put the rag into the bucket vigorously, scrubbed and wrung it out vigorously, wiped the table vigorously, she bit her lip vigorously, and leaned down hard to work.

A strand of hair fell from behind her ear and hung down in front of her cheek, hiding her grievances and uneasiness.

Mao Ruijie came out of the back kitchen and saw this scene. He walked up to Zhang Nanyan and said, "Xiao Zhang, you can leave at eight o'clock in the future, it's not safe to go on the road late." ”

Zhang Nanyan said: "No, I'll leave after I finish my work." ”

"I don't need you for this kind of work."

Zhang Nanyan bit her lip and stubbornly insisted: "I can do it." ”

Mao Lianhua was unhappy: "Why can't she do it?" ”

"Xiao Zhang's salary is the standard for work-study positions, and you can take half of the salary and don't do it!" Mao Ruijie roared.

Mao Lianhua muttered, but didn't dare to say more.

Mao Ruijie said to Zhang Nanyan: "Xiao Zhang, you will get off work after selling dinner in the evening!" ”

Zhang Nanyan stood sadly, she knew that the boss was kind, but she didn't need such kindness, and even, she was afraid and resisted his kindness.

This kind of kindness separates her from others, making her suffer criticism and isolation, she is dignified and earning money by her own labor, but this kind of kindness has obliterated her hard work, making her a bad woman who relies on her appearance and appearance in the eyes of others.

Zhang Nanyan wanted to shout out loud, "I don't need your care!" "I'm upright, why do you look down on me!"

However, she has been obedient since she was a child, and now she also dare not resist.

She looked blankly out the door and saw a warm figure standing outside the playground.

It was Lin Dong who came to pick her up.

For a long time, Zhang Nanyan was afraid that Lin Dong's classmates knew that he had a working girlfriend, and the two usually walked together on campus, as long as she met Lin Dong's classmates, she immediately took a step back and distanced herself from Lin Dong. Of course, they refused to let Lin Dong come to the cafeteria to find her, they made an appointment, and Lin Dong waited for her by the playground outside the cafeteria.

Seeing Lin Dong's figure, Zhang Nanyan's grievances were almost unbearable, she couldn't care about arguing with others anymore, and was in a hurry to return to her small haven.

She wiped down the last table at hand, lifted the bucket, and said, "Boss, I'm done wiping the table, I'll get off work first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mao Ruijie to answer, she walked to the pool with the bucket, poured out the dirty water, washed the rags and buckets, put them away, and then walked out of the cafeteria.

There was an unbridled discussion behind her, at this moment, she didn't care what they were talking about her, she just looked at the brightly lit campus outside the cafeteria, the students who came and went were young, and the people she liked were waiting for her at the beginning of the lanterns.

"Brother Lin."

Zhang Nanyan couldn't wait to walk to Lin Dong's side, she wanted to confide in him about her grievances.

"You're here, let's go."

Lin Dong was very happy today, his experiment had achieved phased results, and he explained to Zhang Nanyan with great interest.

One professional term after another jumped out of his mouth, and in Zhang Nanyan's ears, she couldn't understand any of them.

Zhang Nanyan's heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, which made her embarrassed and made her soberly realize the gap between them.

Lin Dong's happiness and loss are papers and experiments, and she, her life is all trivial between working girls, she can't understand Brother Lin's electrons and photons, and she can't confide in Brother Lin about the jealousy and exclusion between working girls.

There is a word called "the difference between clouds and mud"!

Unconsciously, Zhang Nanyan was one step behind Lin Dong, and Lin Dong, who only cared about the excited narration, did not notice it at all.
