Chapter 55: Life
The morning light penetrated the thick sea of clouds, the frost condensed on the metal body began to subside, the whole body was wrapped in warmth, and the whistle of the urban rail train drove up the high bridge, and he felt a roar hanging on the hole in the bridge.
His gaze was fixed on two hundred meters away, where there was a large lychee forest with a two-story white house in the middle of it.
The iron door of the house opened, and a small yellow dog rushed out, bouncing outside, and Angel came out with a large bag of garbage, wearing only a small white vest and shorts, and a pair of flip-flops at her feet.
With his extraordinary eyesight, he saw that she was in a vacuum in her vest, and she went out like this, this woman was really not worrying.
But she was just out taking out the garbage, and the puppy was walking through the woods, all the way to the direction under the rails, and two small round eyes were staring upwards, and a monster with metal scales hanging from the hole in the bridge.
He saw that the puppy had been looking down and opened his mouth to scare it away, but it was stunned and barked at him.
Angel heard the dog barking, looked up, and found that the dog was circling around a pier on the city rail, barking incessantly. She didn't see anything for a long time, so she called: "Huanghua, come back quickly." ”
The puppy looked at the guy attached to the back of the pier and ran back.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Angel led the puppy back to the house, and after a while, she changed into a black and white skirt and came out, depending on the situation, she was going to work, she was followed by a woman, wearing a blue restaurant uniform, not paying attention to it, I really couldn't see that this woman was the wife in my impression, her long hair was tied into a ponytail at will, there was no makeup on her face, her face looked like she was sleepy and sleepy all night, and her body was thinner than before.
An Yi got into her sister's car and drove on the winding path in the forest.
Angel saw her head leaning against the car window, so she handed over a lipstick, "Sister, you make my mother very worried." ”
She pushed the lipstick away and said, "Don't worry, I'm just sleep deprived." ”
"And going to the Golden Triangle. Angel said.
An Yi touched his forehead and said, "I saw eyewitness reports, and the monster they described is very likely to be a metal inhuman. ”
"The Golden Triangle is the most evil place on earth, you can't care about your personal safety, even if it's really him, how do you convince a metal alien to integrate him into human society? Let him choose, maybe one day he will come back. You deserve to live a normal life. ”
An Yi covered his face with his hands for a long time and took a heavy breath: "I won't mention going to the Golden Triangle again." ”
The car drove out of the forest and entered the main road of the city, and during the rush hour, the car queue slowly moved forward, and a Western restaurant on the bank of the river greeted you. When the car stopped, An Yi pushed the door open and walked into the restaurant in the turbulent wind on the riverbank.
There were twenty tables inside, and as usual, it would be full of guests at noon, and she had to go to the kitchen to help Li Hai prepare the ingredients, Li Hai was the head chef of the restaurant, with a round head, bulging belly, and more water than tea, whether he was chopping vegetables or throwing hot pots, he was chattering, An Yi thought that his cooking skills were exquisite, and he never cut his fingers or threw out the pot when he was doing things.
"Anyi, why don't you hurry up and have a baby?" he always asked this question every time he saw her.
An Yi would always be interrupted by his question, and then continue in silence, because even if she didn't care, he would continue to tell interesting stories about the twins in the family.
Everyone in the kitchen knew that the chef was a microphone, and the whining of the degreasing pan was basically him talking, and everyone was silent. Maybe a woman who gets married and doesn't have children is equivalent to heinous in his eyes, so he always likes to play tricks on An Yi.
At ten o'clock, An Yi will work as a waiter in the restaurant department. Meng Qiao, the head of the restaurant, stood in front of the water bar like a queen, his eyes looked left and right, the waiter spread the table under his nose, An Yi got the vase and water cup in the wrong place, and was immediately scolded, Meng Qiao couldn't hold a single sand in his eyes.
There were six waiters at the scene, five women and one man, in fact, there was also a male waiter, who was pushing open the glass door and walked in with his blazer hanging on his shoulder.
Meng Qiao frowned and walked over, "What time is it?" ”
The man took off the coat on his shoulder, raised it, and put it on lazily, "Sister, the road is blocked." ”
Meng Qiao looked left and right and pulled him aside, "Meng Liang, how many times have I told you, don't call me sister in the restaurant." ”
"Got it. ”
Meng Qiao looked at the guy who was plucking out his ears, "Also, who doesn't get stuck in traffic." I can get there early when I live far away, so why can you be stuck in a jam for three hours?"
"The driver went the wrong way......"
She blocked his mouth with a palm, "The guest is coming, get to the water bar immediately." ”
Meng Liang shrugged, his pace was unhurried, and when he passed by Meng Qiao, he whispered: "Sister, I finally know why you can't get married in your thirties, stubborn. ”
"You ....." Meng Qiao turned around and stared at his back with gritted teeth, but taking into account the employee's gaze, she sorted out her demeanor and endured it.
At eleven o'clock, the guests entered the restaurant in twos and threes, basically office workers in the neighborhood. The waiter began to shuttle between the tables, pouring water, and ordering, which was enough to keep An Yi busy.
She was like a constantly running robot, a table of guests asked for two cocktails, she went to the water bar and asked Meng Liang for it, but he said, "Don't you see that I'm busy? ”
Busy: Put the phone you pressed sideways into your pocket first.
The kitchen was rushing to serve food, and An Yi didn't care about him, so he raised the barricade door of the bar and entered, but the wine cabinet was messy, and he couldn't find it after looking around.
"Where did you put the wine?"
Meng Liang tapped the cabinet next to him with his toes.
"Excuse me. He stood there like an uncle, and An Yi had to be reminded.
Waiting for Meng Liang to take a step to the side, An Yi bent down and opened the cabinet door, and the cocktail was indeed inside. A palm suddenly slapped on her ass and grabbed it hard.
She straightened up and smashed a bottle of wine on Meng Liang's head.
boom
The people in the entire restaurant stretched their necks and looked at the men and women in the water bar, Meng Liang covered his head that was oozing blood, An Yi heard a sound of footsteps behind her, snapped, and slapped her on the bar.
Meng Qiao tugged at her collar and asked, "Why did you hit my brother?" ”
An Yi squeezed the woman away and took out her mobile phone while taking out her mobile phone: "I'm going to call the police and arrest this scumbag." ”
Meng Qiao was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to his younger brother and asked, "What's going on?"
"Sister, I didn't touch her ass, trust me. Meng Liang looked at the blood on his hand and said.
Meng Qiao suddenly understood what was going on, and she knew best what her brother was. She stopped An Yi, who was about to make a phone call, took the two to the back alley of the restaurant, first used a tissue to ask her brother to stop the bleeding, and then bowed to An Yi, "I apologize to you on behalf of my brother." ”
When Meng Liang heard this, he was anxious, "Sister, I really didn't touch her." ”
"Shut up. His sister interrupted him and whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and go to the office room and delete the surveillance video of the scene." ”
Meng Liang came to his senses and hurriedly ran to the office.
"This doesn't just count. An Yi said.
Meng Qiao's face changed, he clasped his hands and said, "An Yi, the apology has already been said, what else do you want, do you have to go to the police station to stop?" You know that our restaurant is opening its doors, if things get bigger, not only will you and Meng Liang not be able to stay, but business will also be affected. ”
"Even so, I can't let go of such shameless people. ”
Meng Qiao crossed his waist and said, "Don't be stupid, will the police believe you just based on your words?"
"There were witnesses who were present, and there were also video testimonies. ”
Meng Qiao smiled, "All of them are my subordinates except for the guests at the scene, do you think they will testify for you? As for the video recording, I apologize to you that there was something wrong with the surveillance equipment today." ”
"You ......" An Yi finally understood why Meng Liang left in a hurry.
Meng Qiao saw her touching her forehead, turned her back and pondered, hum, it's useless to scratch your head, you will lose it.
"You only have two ways now, one is to keep your duty and continue to work, and the other is to get out of here. ”
An Yi took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Then can I go back to work now?" Now I can't lose this job, I can't increase the burden on my mother and Anqi, and that bastard will be punished if his head is broken.
When she wanted to enter the door, Meng Qiao stretched out her hand to stop her, "The aunt who is in charge of washing the dishes today has taken a leave of absence, and you will take her for a day." ”
There was a large red plate on the floor in the back alley, filled with used cutlery.
An Yi was stunned, gritted his teeth, sat on a low stool, scooped up the rag in the water, and wiped the plate over and over again.
Meng Qiao slanted the corners of his mouth and went back to the restaurant with his hands folded.
She wanted the person concerned to leave voluntarily and couldn't let her succeed.
Seeing the reflection in the dirty water, An Yi raised the rag in her hand and smashed it on the water, her reflection became blurred with the ripples, why did she become what she is today?
The water was still, and there was a man's face behind her. Before he could make a sound, his neck was tightened by his arms from behind. She couldn't breathe, her eyes rolled upward, and when she was about to lose consciousness, the man let go of her.
An Yi coughed continuously, his face was forcibly pinched, and he saw Meng Liang pointing to the hemostatic patch on his forehead and said, "Slut, look at the good things you have done." ”
She gasped for breath and couldn't speak at all, only staring at the man in front of her.
He leaned close to her face, gritted his teeth, and said, "If you provoke me, you will be able to bear it in the future." ”
He pushed, and she fell to the slippery ground in the back alley.
"I heard that your husband ran away, hmph, a woman like you who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, no matter how good-looking she looks, is useless, and in the end she still can't keep a man's heart. ”
When he walked into the restaurant, An Yi propped up his upper body, looked at his broken elbows, picked up the black-rimmed glasses that had fallen back into the gutter, and wiped the dirty water on them with a rag, but the more he wiped the lenses, the more hazy they became.
At this time, tears slipped down her face, and she squatted in the alley with her knees crossed and cried.
I don't know how long I can last in this kind of life, and when the tears are dry, I still have to brush the dishes over and over again, because this is real life.
