Chapter 6: The Flavors of Life
Early the next morning, as yesterday, buying and eating steamed buns, Xiaoyu directly skipped the store she had been to yesterday, and asked all the way along the road, the reason for refusal was similar, the current situation and the sun overhead reduced her confidence by a centimeter, as if all the work was made into an agreement in private.
The sun made people haggard, Xiao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time, and occasionally ran into a shopping mall to blow the air conditioner for a while.
She said to herself: If you really can't do it, go back to the Lotus Community, you can't support yourself with your current ability, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, why not wait until you're successful and then leave them? No, because of self-blame in the heart, they found themselves and did not give them a chance to succeed. Besides, reading is not necessarily productive, and realistic textbooks are living teaching materials.
Xiao Yu casually walked into a fruit shop, picked a few oranges, and suddenly heard a small quarrel.
"Shut your stinky mouth, what qualifications do you have to yell at me, it's not just a broken shop, what's the big deal, how long can you do business with people like you."
"Get out of here, you're not uncommon, and you're still here to work with me." A very obese woman yelled, "Get out of here." ”
A boy who looked like a student left the alley angrily, put the oranges in his school bag, looked around, and walked towards the small restaurant: "Hello, hostess! Do you have a waiter? ”
"No." The big fat woman replied angrily.
"What are you doing here, don't recruit people, don't tell me that you're tired and tired." A tall and thin man smiled, "Little girl, are you looking for a job?" Aren't you supposed to be in school? ”
"My family was poor and couldn't afford to send my two children to school, so I went to work in the city after graduating from junior high school." Xiao Yu looked at the boss as an honest and honest man, if he didn't seize this opportunity, I was afraid that the work would be far away.
"Children from poor families can do things when they can endure hardship." The boss's tone was very gentle, and his face was amiable.
"Thank you boss, thank you hostess." Xiaoyu saluted the two of them movingly, looked at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and immediately started to clean up.
I wanted to open my mouth to object, but when I saw that the little girl didn't want to ask her, she cleaned up the table, and quickly took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and worked directly without asking about the salary or treatment, and the big fat woman didn't say anything.
In this way, Xiaoyu temporarily settled down in the small restaurant. Every morning with the boss to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, buy, wash, cut vegetables, to eat time, the boss and a chef are responsible for stir-frying, the boss is almost only responsible for ordering and collecting money, and she is not only responsible for ordering for guests, but also responsible for serving dishes, cleaning up the table and washing dishes.
The task of the day and night is very simple, but after a busy day, Xiaoyu will always be so tired that she can't straighten her waist, especially when she thinks of her dreams, she always feels powerless.
In the following days, Xiaoyu simply tasted all the flavors of life, and thought that doing farm work was hard, but he didn't want to work harder outside.
When you are accused by others, when you are bullied, when you are stared at, when you are wronged, and when you are yelled at by others, these feelings are far more difficult than doing farm work.
If there is another chance to choose, she must not think about coming out, she must obediently stay at home, stay in the countryside, not to mention how good her life is, but at least she will not live in the eyes of others. But people always realize later, and when they understand everything, it is too late. The arrival of all this, not to mention that she has a chance to accept the recruitment, she doesn't even have a chance to think about it.
Whenever she was idle, she often thought of Gao Qi, a tenacious boy who had been transformed by a farming experience. And she was transformed by this short experience, what happened in the next moment, people can't predict, the only thing is to keep moving forward.
She often told herself: don't fall, don't hold a grudge against others, don't embarrass yourself. Whether it is adoptive parents or biological parents, they all love themselves. If it weren't for love, the adoptive parents would not have raised themselves for thirteen years, and in order to give her a quality life, they carried a black pot on their backs and let her come to the city quietly.
If her biological parents don't love her, her biological father won't look for her, and her biological mother won't look at her, her eyes will always be filled with a lot of guilt and moistness.
Every time she was taught a lesson by the proprietress and couldn't afford to live, she thought about going back to the Lotus Community several times, but the words of the old monster completely stopped her.
"You don't cry when you were born, and your parents thought you were a mute and wanted to lose you......
Your adoptive parents have worked hard to raise you for thirteen years to provide you with education, and they never thought that you would repay them like this......
Our family's life is prosperous, you leave them behind and go back to the city, and enjoy happiness alone, you are really a little devil and a big profit worm......
The reason why I came back to you is purely to drive away her inner self-blame, and to get rid of her inner torment through you, that's all......"
"Xiao Nizi, the guests are here, go and pour tea." The proprietress scolded the whisper, and then said to the guest with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, pour water immediately." ”
Xiaoyu raised his head suddenly, and quickly poured two cups of tea: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”
"Be quick with your hands and feet, and your brain should be faster." The proprietress counted the money while accusing Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu endured a breath and didn't let it out, gritted her teeth and glared at the proprietress fiercely: "There are not many guests now, and it's past the dinner point." ”
The proprietress stopped counting the money, and said angrily: "I'm not active in doing things, I still take my money when I eat my house, and I still collide with me, do you want to roll up the bed and leave?" ”
"Every time you yell, it's no wonder that the boss doesn't like to talk to you."
"Say what? Say it louder, have the courage to contradict, don't have the courage for me to hear? The proprietress quarreled with the boss as if she had eaten gunpowder, and completely poured her anger on Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu replied angrily: "You are in a bad mood, what kind of anger do you want to get angry with me, I am helping you do things, and I don't care if you vent." ”
The girl who had just sat down pulled up the boy: "Go, such a proprietress is afraid that the food will be full of resentment." ”
The proprietress pointed to the gate: "You roll for me, how far and how far you roll." ”
The boss, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out and put down the big fat woman's hand: "You can't tolerate it again, how many people have you changed this month?" How old are you, and you still have a fight with a little girl, are you ashamed? ”
"Tell your little lover to go." The hostess pointed to the door.
The boss pulled Xiaoyu into the kitchen and sighed: "Xiaoyu let's go, this woman with a little chicken belly, every time I see her scolding you...... Hey......" sighed a few times, and helplessly, he took out 500 yuan from his waist bag and stuffed it into Xiaoyu's hand.
With tears in his eyes, he held the money as if he was trembling, and said vaguely in his mouth: "Thank you uncle for giving me a chance, goodbye!" ”
"Be careful when you're outside, especially at night."
Xiao Yu took the luggage, didn't even dare to look back, and shook his hand back. At this time, it was 9 o'clock in the evening, and after being busy for most of the day, my stomach was rumbling, and I ate a bowl of rice noodles at a street stall.
There are many businesses on this road, but when they go around to another road, although there are mocking street lamps, there are almost no people walking along the way, and occasionally there are a few cold sounds, and the cells in Xiao Yu's whole body are tense.
Suddenly, two people came from the darkness, one with a knife in his hand, and the other said like a hooligan, "Little sister, where are you going?" ”
Xiao Yu's nervous system was confused, and his whole body was full of unthinkability, and he retreated back one after another: "I don't know you, I'm rushing home now." ”
"Where do you live?" A man with a duck call said, "We like to send people home the most, or we'll send you one." ”
"Don't come here, I'm going to shout." Xiao Yu was so anxious to retreat back, but unexpectedly fell to the ground, moved back vigorously, and looked around again, so anxious that tears were about to run out, seeing the two gradually approaching him, thinking that this was the end.
The two men approached and pulled her down the dark path.
Xiao Yu resisted vigorously: "You'd better let me go, my brother-in-law is a policeman, I must let him arrest you bad guys." ”
"You also want to see if you have a chance to meet your brother-in-law."
"Let go of me, help, help......" Xiaoyu couldn't think of a way, so she had to shout loudly, and after shouting less than three times, she was gagged by the other party with something, and at that moment she cried, what was waiting for her in front of her, and she couldn't think about it anymore.
Just when Xiaoyu gave up struggling and fell into numbness, suddenly a rapid alarm sound fell from the sky, she was thrown to the ground hard, and saw two men fleeing towards a path.
Xiang Yang put the repeater into his backpack and helped the little girl on the ground: "Are you okay?" After saying that, he looked down the dark path, for fear that the two wicked men would see through the plan. It was just because of the coincidence that the alarm tape I had just gotten from my cousin had made such a big difference.
Seeing that it was a man, for fear of getting into new trouble, Xiao Yu, who reacted, picked up his luggage on the ground and ran in the direction of Shida. No matter how the benefactor shouted, Xiao Yu ran forward like a nervous being, but fortunately, he didn't exercise much on weekdays.
When she arrived at the night snack stall where there were many families, she was so out of breath that she couldn't extricate herself, sweat fell on the ground like rain, and her mouth was uncomfortably dry.
"Mother's, there is a wall on one side, and on the other side, except for a path and a small building under construction, it is all wasteland, although there is a row of student apartments not far from the wasteland, but the apartment is also blocked by a high wall."
The rough voice faded away, and Xiao Yu walked towards the hotel. This time it was a woman sitting at the front desk, she asked with a smile: "Hello hostess, I often live here with you, and it has been 20 yuan accommodation, do you see if it can still be this price?" ”
"Yes."
"Thank you! I'll hand it over for one night. Xiao Yu scolded in her heart, she is the same boss, why is there such a big difference, she is the same boss, why is there such a big difference.
At this time, I already have the money to go home, do I want to continue to spend time here? High school over there has been a long time coming, and although there have been early studies, after all, they have only learned a few scratches. The real learning is still to come, so how can we waste it like this?
