The dessert shop is not far away, usually a dozen minutes by bus, a few minutes walk to arrive.

On the first day of work, Lin Mian arrived at the store an hour early in order to make a good impression on Aunt Shen.

The dessert shop has no business, and the door is still suspended, Lin Mian opened the door and walked in, and Aunt Shen was still counting the materials in the back kitchen.

The back kitchen is piled with freshly delivered food.

Lin Mian glanced at the store and felt that it was not easy for Aunt Shen to guard the dessert shop alone.

Aunt Shen turned her head and saw Lin Mian standing at the counter, looking inside, her slightly drooping eyes like a puppy with a slight sense of innocence.

"Good girl, why did you come to work so early, nine o'clock."

Lin Mian tilted his head and took out his mobile phone and wrote on it: "I want to come to see Aunt Shen make desserts early and study more." ”

Aunt Shen raised her eyebrows, nodded, and pulled Lin Mian to the backstage with a smile, and took out her work clothes from the locker.

"Now, it's your overalls, go change into it."

This set of work clothes was newly bought by Aunt Shen, thinking that she must be very cute when she wears it.

Lin Mian nodded obediently and took his work clothes to change.

The overalls were a little big and loose on the girl's body, and the brown beret hat was a little silly on the head.

The girl's braids were placed on the side of her shoulders, which was very gentle.

"Oh, the little girl is so cute." Aunt Shen looked at the petite girl, circled around her, and pinched her face happily, "Why are you so cute?" As cute as the little tanuki in our shop. ”

"Meow" The little tanuki basking in the sun on the table opened its eyes in protest and barked, and continued to lie down.

The little civet cat was adopted by Aunt Shen from the small animal shelter center station, and unlike other cats in the store, it lazily lies on the table every day, either sleeping or eating, and does not play with other kittens.

But the other kittens are afraid of it.

"Okay, Aunt Shen will teach you how to make egg tarts today."

She said and took Lin Mian to the back kitchen, made a list, and asked Lin Mian to write it down.

Aunt Shen is extremely strict with the quality control of desserts, and the ingredients must be fresh.

Lin Mian was particularly interested in dessert making, and it only took him a minute to write down the ingredients and quickly collect them.

Aunt Shen looked at the materials brought by the girl, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes looked at Lin Mian, her face was a little unpredictable.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Lin Mian was nervous by her look, and his heart beat fast.

Just as Lin Mian was about to take out her mobile phone to type, Aunt Shen suddenly nodded and laughed, and reached out and pinched Lin Mian's face again.

"Scareless, huh?"

It turned out that Aunt Shen was not angry.

Lin Mian nodded with relief, smiled shyly and looked delicate, and put his hands behind his back on his toes.

"Alright, let's make Portuguese egg tarts now."

Aunt Shen took out the materials in the basket and meticulously placed them on the stove.

"The most important step in making dessert is to wash your hands first." Aunt Shen turned on the faucet to wash her hands, turned her head to look at Lin Mian, and her kind face was a little serious.

Lin Mian nodded and did so.

"And then we ......"

Although making desserts is fun but very tiring, Lin Mian spent the morning researching how to make egg tarts with just the right heat and a unique taste.

This was Aunt Shen's first assignment for Lin Mian.

Lin Mian made some small innovations in the egg tart, and Aunt Shen thought it was good and decided to improve the inner core of the egg tart for sale.

The working hours of the dessert shop are long, although he is tired, but the salary is high, Lin Mian worked until more than ten o'clock on the first day of work.

is still full of energy.

It's good to be young, Aunt Shen looked at the lively animal Lin Mian wrapped some of her coat tightly.

Old!

When she got home from work, Aunt Shen didn't worry about her walking alone at night, and she had to take her home for everything.

Lin Mian sat in the back of the electric car and chatted with Aunt Shen all the way.

It's all Aunt Shen who is talking alone, and although Lin Mian can't speak, she will nod her head and agree from time to time.

Aunt Shen is enthusiastic, she can't hide anything, she doesn't take anything to heart, and she talks about the difficulties of her youth.

When chatting, Aunt Shen said that seeing Lin Mian was like seeing her own daughter.

If there is no accident, her daughter also wants Lin Mian to be so old, and she should also like kittens.

Lin Mian felt that it was really not easy for Aunt Shen to go through so many winds and waves and still maintain a sincere heart.

Aunt Shen turned out to be not a person who was married from afar, her family is far away, and it takes three days to get there by car from here, where the girl in the ravine has stopped studying early, and she will marry when she is old.

Aunt Shen is no exception.

At that time, she was ignorant, so she married a person she had only met once, and she was still a good man and had no bad habits.

Lin Mian remembered that Aunt Shen's eyes were bright when she talked about her husband, and the corners of her mouth were crooked and a little shy.

But what Aunt Shen said later made Lin Mian shocked.

In the first year of marriage, Aunt Shen gave birth to a girl to her husband, and everything began to change from here.

Aunt Shen's mother-in-law and father-in-law are extremely patriarchal, and Aunt Shen held Aunt Shen like a baby every day before the child was born.

Mopping the floor, washing dishes, and washing clothes are not touched by Aunt Shen at all, and her husband will often accompany her, what to eat, drink, and move her mouth.

Until the child was born as a girl, Aunt Shen's parents-in-law made a 180-degree turn and changed as if they were a different person.

I didn't help once when I was discharged from the hospital to go home, and I usually watched TV in the living room and ate melon seeds when I was free, and the child cried during the confinement and stood by and watched indifferently like a stranger.

After the confinement housework, all the housework was on Aunt Shen, she had to take care of the newborn child, and she also had to serve the difficult in-laws, but fortunately, her husband would come out to speak for him

During this period, Aunt Shen wanted to take the child back to her parents' house, but who knew that Aunt Shen's mother said that the water spilled by her married daughter should not run to her parents' house if she had nothing to do.

When he said this, Lin Mian saw that Aunt Shen's face was a little depressed.

This kind of days go on until the end of the year.

Many people came to the house that day carrying the body of his husband.

That day, Aunt Shen felt that her sky had fallen.

His husband was lying on a stretcher covered with a white cloth with a pale face, and the villagers said that the road at the construction site was slippery and he had fallen down.

Fortunately, the construction site also has a conscience, and it paid millions to their family.

But after her parents-in-law got the money, they kicked her and her daughter out, on Chinese New Year's Eve.

It was raining lightly and the weather was bitingly cold, and Aunt Shen was walking on the road with her critically ill daughter in her arms wearing only a thin sweater.

In the big winter and the root of the illness caused by the previous confinement, Aunt Shen hugged her daughter and didn't know when she fainted as soon as it was dark.

When she got up again, Aunt Shen was lying in the hospital, and a mute woman saved her life.

Unfortunately, the child was not rescued, and the child was out of breath when he was brought to the hospital.

Aunt Shen cried a lot to find a short sight, but was saved by a mute woman.

The mute woman wrote a long list of words on the paper, and Aunt Shen said that she didn't remember it very clearly, but only knew the general meaning:

"If you are homeless, I can take you in, come to work in my store, and I will teach you how to make desserts."

Later, Aunt Shen said a few words hastily.

When she was about to get home, Aunt Shen told her that she must study hard, don't marry in a hurry, and don't be like her.

Lin Mian nodded, with a serious expression.

She doesn't want to get married early, it's better to have more money.

"Meow~"

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Baimian came up slimy.

Xiao Bai Mian's voice was delicate, Lin Mian picked up Xiao Bai Mian and rubbed it, and it immediately dispersed Lin Mian's fatigue from a day's work.

Under the warm lamp in the living room, the girl sat in front of the coffee table and hummed and ate instant noodles, and was swept away by spicy tears.

Xiao Baimian was far away from the living room and made a pit digging action.

The vegetables in the refrigerator have been successfully turned into decorations.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, Lin Mian took a hot bath comfortably, lay on the bed, and Xiao Baimian stepped on her back.

Itchy.

Lin Mian glanced at the message box, and Bian Yunqi sent a photo at nine o'clock, it was the training ground.

She suddenly remembered that Bian Yunqi was going to compete tomorrow, and hesitated for a long time before sending him a sentence: Come on, brother!

The other side didn't reply, Lin Mian glanced at the time and found that it was already more than twelve o'clock.

I have to go to work tomorrow at eight o'clock.

……

The next day, Lin Mian still went to the dessert shop full of energy, changed into work clothes and began to make desserts.

There was a TV in the back kitchen, and Lin Mian was watching and doing it.

There are classic versions of mansion grievances on TV, and Lin Mian also watched them with relish.

During the second round of bread baking, the classic version of the mansion feud was suddenly replaced by a live broadcast of the fire and rescue competition.

"Ouch, the young man is so handsome."

Aunt Shen stood in place and watched the TV directly, eager to put her eyes on it.

Lin Mian also stopped what he was doing, and looked at the TV with a pair of eyes, looking for a certain figure.

"Mian Mian, do you think the young man inside is handsome?"

Aunt Shen couldn't help but joke when she looked at her.

Lin Mian nodded, washed the cooked glutinous rice flour on his hands and typed quickly on his mobile phone, and the curvature of the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

"My brother is inside, and Bian Yunqi of the Yanjing Fire Brigade is up."

"Your brother? It's amazing. Aunt Shen put her hand on Lin Mian's shoulder, and pinched Lin Mian's face with a smile, "My brother is so powerful, we must be better than my brother in the future!" ”

Aunt Shen's loving tone broke into Lin Mian's ears, Lin Mian paused to breathe, his heart suddenly tightened, and a layer of mist gradually floated in his eyes.

A long, long time ago, Zhang Jin also said something like this to her.

It's also such a tone, such an action.

"Mom......" Lin Mian exhaled a breath and spit out two words vaguely.

This scared Aunt Shen, who was leaning on her, and walked up to her excitedly and tilted her head to look at her, with some cloudy eyes and a smile about to come out.

"You talk and sleep! One more word. ”

The tone was like a child calling for his mother.

Lin Mian opened his mouth and made a difficult sound, "Ah...... Ah, mom....... ”

"That's amazing! We slept and spoke. Aunt Shen jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands like a child.

At that moment, memories came back, and Lin Mian remembered pestering his mother to watch a video of himself just speaking when he was a child.

The mother in the video also has this expression.

I miss my mother so much, I really miss it......

But my mother didn't want to see her in her dreams.

"Why are you crying, obedient?" Aunt Shen saw Lin Mian's eyes red, and hurriedly went to get a paper to wipe her tears, "I'm too excited, isn't it?" Well, don't cry, don't cry. ”

Aunt Shen's words seemed to have magical power, Lin Mian nodded and twitched.

"Wo, it's just too urgent, it's frozen......" Lin Mian cried and couldn't pronounce clearly.

Like the most wrong child.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited, let's eat a piece of apple and be shocked."

Aunt Shen touched Lin Mian's head and thoughtfully put the apple into her mouth.

"Okay...... Lin Mian chewed the apple, sobbing and sobbing and snotting bubbles.

The next second he made himself laugh.

"Poof, hahaha."

Aunt Shen couldn't help but laugh when she saw her laughing

"Silly boy." Aunt Shen touched Lin Mian's head, her face was kind, "Let's start, stop the work at hand, let's start after reading it." ”

Aunt Shen pulled two stools and sat in a row with Lin Mian.
