Chapter 9: Think More
On the third day of work, Jiang Han squatted at the door of the teahouse and dozed off.
Yesterday morning, after eating Yun Niang's hand-rolled noodles, she saw that it was still early, so she simply taught Yun Niang how to wash clothes and decoction medicine, but she was too involved in teaching, forgot the time, and finally hurried out of the door in Daddy's dark face and suspicious eyes. When she arrived at the teahouse, it was already midday, and she just wanted to follow the customers who came in and out of the door of the store, and blended in without looking at it, when she was seen by Song Dou, who was coming to the door to welcome the guests. As soon as he saw her appearance, he pretended to persuade and shouted: "Ah, Brother Jiang, you are here, you are here to find the shopkeeper to resign?" You can't get paid for a day, so don't sue the shopkeeper to the yamen! β
The moment his words fell, Jiang Han felt more than a dozen lines of sight inside and outside the store shooting from all sides at the same time, like more than a dozen searchlights shining at the same time, and in an instant, she became the focus and was fixed at the entrance of the teahouse. She couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, although she was usually quite thick-skinned, but the incident that had brought her recent notoriety in Luoxia Town was revealed in public, and she was faced with curious or disdainful eyes around herβeven if she never felt that there was anything wrong with suing the profiteers to the government to protect her interests, her mind froze instantly. She looked around in embarrassment, just in time to see the shopkeeper Wang also looking over from the counter, he frowned, his face was unhappy, and in an instant, Jiang Han replied with a blessed heart: "Are you sick?" What kind of yamen should I sue for no reason, I have a lot of money? I'm just getting up late. β
After passing by the scene at the door of the store, the shopkeeper Wang immediately carried the two of them to the backyard and gave them a cold face. Therefore, on this day, she behaved very obediently and was very careful in everything, and Song Yaozu didn't toss anymore, but just turned a blind eye to her.
She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper Wang was not at the counter to get close to Mr. Xu, but who knew that the old man also looked like a living person. As soon as she said hello, the old man said, "There is nothing to help with here, so go and go." β
At this stage, she has no other independent skills except for sweeping, scrubbing, and burning, greeting guests or something, she can only help people now, how can she not take the initiative to be a helper for Song Yaozu, then she can only do chores in the back most of the time. But she was really unwilling to be a handyman, so she tried her best to take advantage of the time when she was sweeping in the lobby to rub it for a while, and by the way, she pretended to observe Song Yaozu's words and deeds inadvertently. At the end of the day, although there was no more-for-tat confrontation in the store, Jiang Han did not feel that the second day was more harmonious than the first day, but had a deeper sense of rejection.
When she got home in the evening, her father summoned her again, and carefully interrogated her about her work, and was very satisfied that she had done things in the way she had been taught, and finally gave her a good look.
Then Yun Niang pulled her over again and offered to ask her to check all the housework she had done during the day. Under the enthusiasm, Jiang Han couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm and gave her a big compliment. The result was: Yun Niang happily pulled her to the table and began to eagerly talk about her experience of doing housework by herself on the first day, as well as her beautiful imagination for the future.
At that time, Jiang Han listened to the crisp and happy voice of the girl opposite, and looked at her interesting face with the beating lights, and was a little in a trance. At that moment, she thought that more than four months ago, after discovering that she had crossed over, she naively thought that she could change the fate of the Jiang family by doing something casually, and she was also Yun Niang's current expression, right? I also have the excitement of succeeding in doing what I thought was impossible for the first time, and the self-confidence that came with it, as if nothing could stump me from now on, and as long as I did it, I would definitely succeed.
When lying on the bed and closing his eyes and preparing to sleep, Jiang Han couldn't sleep at all, and his mind kept coming up with the cold face of the shopkeeper Wang in the morning, the distrust of the father when he interrogated carefully, Aunt Liu's anger, Song Yaozu's ignorance, and even Mr. Xu's refusal, she felt that it was because the old man felt that he had no value in dating......
Thinking of these, the disbelief in her heart could no longer be suppressed, these people are really watching people in the cracks of the door, she is just a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, but a small teahouse guy, can she stump her? Then she must let these people know how blind they really are.
She tossed and turned all night, and she couldn't sleep at the end of the day. She simply got up and decided to show a proactive enthusiasm for work from today onwards, which impressed everyone, so she went out.
When I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I remembered that I had been working for three days, and I didn't know the opening time of the teahouse every morning......
She didn't dare to go away, so she had to sit in front of the door and wait, but she fell asleep while she sat down. She dreamed of waking up in the bed of her apartment, and she was very happy, and when Zhengqing finally got rid of the nightmare of crossing over, she felt the apartment shake, and she remembered the sound of talking. In the dream, she thought of the cause of her nightmare, and suddenly became angry, and yelled at the door: "Even if there is an earthquake, I don't want to let the old lady open the door and run away again!" β
However, immediately after her roar, she heard a "bang", and then the whole world was turned upside down, and the back of her head still had a dull pain, and the pain was very real. Jiang Han, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was frightened, his eyes were closed and he didn't want to wake up, his feet kicked wildly and his hands grabbed in the air: "Don't, I don't want to wear it back again!" β
"Why don't you wear it back?" Some rough middle-aged male voices entered his ears, and Jiang Han opened his eyes suddenly. When she saw clearly that it was the shopkeeper Wang who was hunched in front of her, her face turned red, she turned over and stood up and retreated several steps, reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and stammered: "No, nothing, I, I dreamed of grabbing clothes with people!" She made up a reason to deal with it, hoping that she hadn't said too many suspicious dream words just now.
She rolled her eyes, and quickly changed the topic with a forced smile: "What's the shopkeeper doing today...... Why did you open the door so late? Me, I've been waiting for a long time! β
"Is it late?" Shopkeeper Wang turned his head to look at the sky outside the door, and looked at her suspiciously: "It's this time every day, and it's a quarter of an hour early to open today." β
"Oh, at this time...... It's ...... at this time" Jiang Han also looked at the sky outside, scratched his head, and glanced at the shopkeeper in embarrassment.
"It's a quarter of an hour away." Shopkeeper Wang took her words with a clear chin, "The teahouse is open every hour to welcome customers, but you have to come and clean it in advance at the right time. He glanced at her clothes that were a little messy on the ground, and frowned a little unhappily, "You go to the backyard miscellaneous room to tidy up your appearance, and then start cleaning." After explaining, he no longer paid attention to Jiang Han and removed the door panel by himself. Jiang Han was not too blind, and took the initiative to step forward to help remove the other door panel and put it away, before he lowered his head and went to the backyard miscellaneous room.
Jiang Han patted his face and said in his heart, I really thought too much last night, and it was really easy to have an accident if I thought too much, so dangerous!
After tidying herself up, she took her broom bucket to the store, cheered herself up, and began to wipe the floor and wipe the table. When she was sweating profusely and tidying up, she found that the hourglass on the cabinet was almost two o'clock in the morning, and Song Yaozu hadn't come yet, just thinking of this, she caught a glimpse of him at the door hurriedly walking from afar. Thinking of his embarrassment when he entered the door yesterday, Jiang Han smiled evilly, and thought: "One report for another, today I will come to return a tooth for a tooth and give you a newspaper of the present world!" β
