Chapter 68: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The holiday of more than a month will soon come to an end, Sun Cuihua took Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran to Lin Mei's house on the last day of the holiday, and when she arrived at Lin Mei's house, Zhang Xin looked at the lock on the door, and guessed that they must have gone to sell vegetables, Zhang Xin They waited at the door for a while, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see Aunt Zhao riding a tricycle with difficulty, with a bunch of fresh vegetables behind her, and Lin Mei and Lin Shuang staggered back, Lin Mei saw Zhang Xin from a distance and jumped out of the car at once, and ran over in a panic.
"Sister Xin, Sister Ran, why are you here?!" Lin Mei was sweating with a thin layer on her forehead, wearing a new cotton coat on her body, and screamed happily.
"Yes, we're coming to see you again, have you been good lately?" Zhang Xin bent down and wiped Lin Mei's sweat.
"Of course it's good~ My mother has bought us new clothes!" Lin Mei tugged at her new clothes and motioned for Zhang Xin to look at them.
"You're here." Aunt Zhao rode the car to the door and got out of the car, Zhang Xin looked at her, although her face was no longer so pale, she still felt a little sick, she couldn't lift her spirits, her lips were not bloody, and the clothes on her body were the same ones she saw last time.
Zhang Xin nodded at her, went around to the back of the tricycle and hugged Lin Shuang.
"Miss Xin, what is this?" Aunt Zhao pointed to Sun Cuihua, who was standing at the door with a large bag and a small bag, and asked curiously.
"Aunt Zhao, this is my mother, my mother heard my sister talk about your family, and I want to come and see you." Zhang Ran took Lin Mei's hand and hurriedly replied.
"It turned out to be Miss Xin, her mother. Blame me for not recognizing you. Aunt Zhao rubbed her hand on her body, stepped forward and held Sun Cuihua's hand.
"Eldest sister, you have raised two good children, if it weren't for them, we really wouldn't be able to live this life! Thank you so much. Aunt Zhao held Sun Cuihua's hand tightly, and her eyes were a little red as she spoke.
"Don't say that, we are also people who have lived a hard life, and it is right to stretch out our hands, which is what we should do." Sun Cuihua is a rough person, and she can't see others crying, and when she saw Aunt Zhao's eyes red, she hurriedly comforted.
"Mother, it's cold outside, let my sister and them go into the house first." Lin Mei rubbed her little hands that were red, although it was already the New Year, it was still cold outside.
"Oh, yes, yes, you see that when I saw that you were excited, I forgot to let you into the house, and I was all to blame." As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the door of the house and beckoned Zhang Xin and them to enter, and he also entered the house with a tricycle.
Although Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran had told Sun Cuihua about the family situation of Lin Mei's family before, as soon as they entered the house, the situation in the house still shocked her.
The room was dimly lit, with only a simple bed and a chair, a small square table with one leg broken, artificially piled up with bricks to barely use, some food scattered on the table, and Sun Cuihua saw the bacon and enema that she had not found everywhere in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After Mrs. Zhao parked the tricycle, she hurriedly spread the quilt on the bed and asked them to sit on the bed with a shameful face.
"I'm really sorry, I don't have decent furniture at home, so I can only grieve you to sit on the bed first."
"I said Shuang'er and her mother, don't be busy, we just come over to have a look, stay for a while and leave."
Sun Cuihua took the kettle in Aunt Zhang's hand, put it on the ground and pulled her to sit on the bed.
"Shuang'er mother, we came this time to tell you one thing, that is, our restaurant, there is a shortage of people recently, we want to ask you to go there to help, and then pay you a salary every month, do you think?"
Sun Cuihua has experienced a lot of things, and understands the self-esteem of adults, if she says it rashly, Aunt Zhao will definitely not agree, so she thought of asking her to do a favor, so she should agree.
As expected, Aunt Zhao thought about it, looked at Sun Cuihua and said, "Cheng, if it is useful to me, I will definitely help, you said just now that you have a restaurant, right?"
Sun Cuihua saw that Aunt Zhao agreed so happily, so she glanced at Zhang Xin, who was playing with Lin Meilin and the two sisters.
"Yes, our family has a restaurant next to the university."
"Oh, that must be a dish or something." Mrs. Zhao pointed to the fresh vegetable leaves on the tricycle.
"yes, I still use a lot of it every day." Sun Cuihua nodded.
"That's great, I'm a wholesale of vegetables, I know where the vegetables are fresh and cheap, so I can ride a tricycle every morning to buy vegetables for you, and then pull them to the restaurant, and every afternoon you give me the menu you want to buy, and I guarantee that those dishes will be fresh and cheap." The more Aunt Zhao talked, the more excited she became, she had been thinking about wanting to do something to repay Zhang Xin and her family, and now she could finally do her part.
"It's really great if that's the case, I said before, the one who delivered the food before, the quality of the food delivered is getting worse and worse, and now it's all solved." Sun Cuihua didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, this time I came to see that Aunt Zhao has a flexible brain and is diligent, and she feels that she has picked up a treasure, not only avoiding Li Lihua's family, but also solving the big problem in her store, I feel very happy when I think about it.
Sun Cuihua and Aunt Zhao are both from poor families, and they have suffered a lot, they got acquainted with each other after a while, the two talked happily and called each other sisters, Zhang Xin saw that these two people were very good, and the stone hanging in his heart was also put down.
It was already evening when the three of them came out of Lin Mei's house, and Sun Cuihua and Aunt Zhao agreed that when the restaurant opened tomorrow, Aunt Zhao would go to the restaurant in the morning to adapt to the environment, and then slowly start purchasing ingredients and other things.
After returning home for dinner, Zhang Xin helped Zhang Ran check the final winter vacation homework, then tidied up his schoolbag and sat at the desk to ponder his goals for the new year.
Although the life of the family has gradually improved, it is still not the goal that Zhang Xin wants to achieve, she wants Sun Cuihua and Zhang Guowei to enjoy their old age quietly without hard work, obviously according to this, life is still a big difference, he is now a college student, and he should apply what he has learned to the society.
Now that New China is in the stage of development, there are a lot of opportunities waiting for people to seize, Zhang Xin knows this truth, but now he is studying history, and he can only be a teacher or enter the history museum to work in the future.
At the end of the winter vacation, the students have returned to their familiar courses, this semester Zhang Xin did not have the classes taught by Lynch, after seeing the class schedule, I couldn't help but feel a little lost, since I met him that day, I haven't seen him again for a few days, "Is something wrong?" Thinking of this, Zhang Xin became a little worried.
"Zhang Xin, someone is looking for you!"
Just thinking about it, the classmates in the same class at the door called Zhang Xin's name at the door, and pulled Zhang Xin out of his thoughts.
"Is anyone looking for me?" Zhang Xin asked incredulously, she didn't know anyone else at school except Zhang Rong and Lynch, who would look for her?
Zhang Xin walked out of the classroom with a sigh of relief, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
As soon as Zhang Xin turned his head, he saw Chen Ruize leaning lazily on the wall of the classroom, and when he saw Zhang Xin coming out, he patted her shoulder and smiled at her.
"What are you doing here?" Because he was bumped into by Lynch the last time he met him, Lynch and Zhang Xin also had a big quarrel, so now Zhang Xin is a little resistant when he sees Chen Ruize.
"Alas, it seems that you really didn't miss me this winter vacation, but I often come to the lake at school to wait for you." Chen Ruize pretended to be very hurt, Zhang Xin saw that the girls in the classroom came out to see Chen Ruize one after another, afraid that there would be too many people and mixed mouths, and then it would reach Lynch's ears and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he pulled Chen Ruize to the corner of the stairs.
"Oh, you're a girl, you can't be gentle." Chen Ruize broke away from the arm that was tightened by Zhang Xin's schoolbag belt, and ran downstairs with Zhang Xin's hand in his backhand.
"What are you looking for me?" Zhang Xin looked at Chen Ruize coldly, trying to keep a certain distance from him.
