Chapter 7: Turn around
Coming out of Li Huizhen's house, Xu Ran looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. In the end, he could only accept Li Hui's true kindness, after all, he had agreed to it before.
Because according to the regulations, Xu Ran can't officially work now, and he and Li Huizhen only agreed verbally, but the two of them bargained for a long time about the amount of remuneration.
Unlike other bargains, it seems a little funny that Xu Ran, as a part-time worker, has been asking Li Huizhen to give a little less, while Li Huizhen, as an employer, has been asking for a little more, and finally the two people have been deadlocked for a long time before they barely reached a consensus on the amount of 200,000.
"Alas, Aunt Huizhen is so good to me, I don't know how to repay it."
"Wait, Aunt Huizhen said that she has assets overseas, and she should be very rich, shouldn't she be a rich woman?" Thinking of this, Xu Ran's expression was a little strange.
When he opened the door and returned to his room, Xu Ran took off his T-shirt casually and entered the bathroom with his lean upper body.
Xu Ran took a deep breath, let the cold water wash his strong back, the cold touch stimulated his nerves, helping to relieve the physical and mental exhaustion of the afternoon, but thinking of what Li Huizhen said at the end just now, he was a little helpless.
"My niece is usually too busy, in fact, not only cleaning, but also all aspects of life, if you can, please take care of her more, for example, sometimes she is tired and too lazy to move, please make her something to eat, don't let her go hungry - so, 200,000 is really not much, and what you have to do is not so easy."
Speaking of which, Xu Ran is no longer good at refusing to shirk, more money and less money are secondary, he seems to be more than just a cleaner now, and he feels a bit of a nanny.
"Huh, it's okay, I heard Aunt Huizhen say that her little niece is very nice and kind, she should get along very well, right?"
"Well, it would be nice to have time to cook..."
There are many thoughts in my mind, some about how to study and transfer to a scholarship, and what kind of person the little niece that Li Huizhen loves, but the most is how to earn enough money to pay for the next academic year's tuition in the next two months.
Xu Ran didn't want to be desperate and go back to beg his parents, whether his parents were willing to take care of it or not, not to mention that he didn't want to live up to the goals set by his parents and disappoint his parents, who had always been strict but cared about him.
didn't think for a while, Xu Ran felt a wave of tiredness hit, although it was only nine o'clock, Xu Ran felt that his eyelids were about to be opened, so he hurriedly rinsed off the shower gel on his body, dried himself and walked back to the bedroom, lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and slept.
"Sleep, sleep, tomorrow will be another beautiful day, and it will be a day to run for a living. Have a good dream, Xu Ran, come on! ”
-------------------------------------
As for how difficult life is, in the past month or so, Xu Ran has thoroughly experienced it.
From childhood to adulthood, it may not be said that Xu Ran's experience has always been smooth sailing, but it can definitely be called worry-free, and the challenges encountered are all unrelated to economics such as academics, interpersonal relationships, relationships, etc., and during this time, he has experienced that there is one of the most difficult things in the world - life or survival.
If it used to be like a gorgeous peacock that was raised, now it is an eagle that has to break away from protecting itself and soar to feed.
Xu Ran is very glad that it is not yet the height of summer, and the recent weather is relatively refreshing, if it weren't for the cute brown bear suit he is wearing now, he may have suffered heat stroke and fell into a coma on the spot.
Enduring the uncomfortable feeling of being covered in sweat and sticky, Xu Ran politely bowed to the flow of people shuttling back and forth in front of him, while handing out the barbecue restaurant flyer in his hand and hoping that the other party would accept it, but it seemed that people were very faceless, and it would be lucky to be able to send one out of five attempts.
"Distribute flyers, send flyers, why wear this, you can't wipe the sweat from your forehead if you want to."
Xu Ran sighed, but he didn't dare to raise the slightest objection, after all, he didn't even have to be able to express this opinion clearly with his barbecue restaurant owner.
What's more, the boss looked bad at a glance, and when he went to get the flyer, he was taught a long time with an iron face, although Xu Ran couldn't fully understand, but he could probably guess that it was nothing more than opportunistic or something.
"This is a private job, so it's better to coax a little, don't have a place to avenge yourself when people repay their debts. Alas, it's all about life. ”
Xu Ran muttered to himself, sighed, and turned around to continue his work in a different direction.
"This bear suit is really inconvenient, I feel that this is no different from going to the gym to do weight training, even turning around..."
"Ahh
As a female voice came, Xu Ran only felt as if he had hit something. Because of the suit, Xu Ran didn't control his balance well, and fell backwards and sat on the ground.
As the hood that was not fastened by Xu Ran because of the heat fell to the ground next to him, Xu Ran's originally obscured vision became clear.
Xu Ran rubbed his buttocks, which hurt a little, and looked up, only to see a girl in front of him wearing a pink T-shirt and a mask printed with a bear pattern also sitting on the ground in a similar posture as herself.
The girl in the mask was also rubbing the part where she had fallen very painfully, but she immediately felt that there was a gaze in front of her looking at herself, and quickly withdrew her hand that was also placed somewhere below her waist, blushing and raising her head to look ahead, only to see a handsome big boy wearing broken hair was looking at herself in a daze, because of the hood, the bangs in front of the forehead were wet with sweat and adhered to the forehead a little messily.
The girl was a little funny, but when she saw Xu Ran's intent, she remembered something, and suddenly she was a little flustered, and she hurriedly raised her hand and touched her face, and was relieved when she found that the mask had not been taken off.
The girl's reaction was obviously a little sluggish, and Xu Ran could feel that this was a slow and gentle girl.
Seeing Xu Ran looking at her in a daze, she just blinked and looked dazed, the two stared at each other for a full three seconds, Xu Ran woke up like a dream, didn't care about the stack of leaflets scattered on the side, got up with difficulty and came to the mask girl to help her stand up, and then owed a sincere apology:
"I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention, are you okay?"
