"I was finally kicked out. Qu Fan carried a heavy backpack and walked on the streets of this familiar and unfamiliar Yudu.

Just after his eighteenth birthday yesterday, he was kicked out of his family. With no relatives and no friends, Qu Fan wandered aimlessly.

Yudu in early spring is so cold that people shiver. Yudu is known as the "land of abundance" as the hot pot capital, and every few steps you can see a hot pot restaurant.

His body was ravaged by hunger and cold, and unconsciously Qu Fan sat at the door of a hot pot restaurant, "Anyway, I'm eighteen years old, it's not considered child labor, I work for others, it's a big deal that I don't need a salary, just take care of food and housing." ”

With this attitude, Qu Fan walked into a hot pot restaurant.

"Handsome guys, several, please. The welcome lady at the door of the store greeted Qu Fan.

Qu Fan mustered up his courage, "Hello, I'm not here to eat, are you recruiting temporary workers here?"

At this time, the welcome lady noticed that the person in front of her, wearing a greasy and shiny cotton jacket, and a strand of hair, and his face seemed to have not been washed for a few days, which made people lose their appetite when they saw it, "No need," she replied angrily.

Qu Fan saw disdain for herself from her eyes, didn't stay long, lowered his head and turned to leave. The gurgling sound in his stomach made him touch it unconsciously, "Don't scream yet, I'll find something to feed you in a while." ”

As soon as I walked a few meters, I saw a woman with beautiful matches and exquisite makeup getting out of a car. The woman and Qu Fan glanced at each other, and a trace of sadness flashed in their hearts inexplicably, "Why are this child's eyebrows and eyes so similar to ......?"

The woman walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, and the welcome lady and several other waiters shouted "Sister Qingqing".

She looked back at Qu Fan and asked, "That kid shouldn't have eaten yet, what's the matter?"

"The boy just asked us if we could hire temporary workers," said a waiter named Xiaobei, "and we sent him away, he was dressed dirty, and his clothes still smelled, and he needed such a temporary job." ”

The woman was silent for a few seconds, walked quickly to Qu Fan's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said to Qu Fan with a smile, "Do you want to work, come in with me." ”

Qu Fan looked at the woman's white and delicate hands, and when they slid past him, there was still a faint fragrance. looked at the shabby cotton jacket on his body that he hadn't changed in a winter, and he didn't dislike her and had a good impression of her.

Qu Fan followed the woman into a private room, and several smiling young waitresses and a sunny and handsome male waiter immediately came in with hot pot and dishes.

A mouthful of white butter red pot, fiery red peppers wafting on the oil, and the aroma of chili peppers and peppercorns makes people want to sweat when they smell it. All kinds of meat dishes include crystal crispy meat, spicy beef, boneless duck paws, fresh duck intestines, excellent hairy tripe, tender fish fillet, shrimp slippery, brain flower, fish balls, crispy sausages...... A table was full.

Although Qu Fan grew up in the hot pot capital, the number of times he ate hot pot was only a handful.

Qu Fan looked at the table of dishes that he had almost never eaten and involuntarily licked his lips and swallowed his saliva. "I'm not here to eat. Qu Fan whispered.

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll treat you to this meal, let's get started. The woman stared at Qu Fan's eyes and said softly.

"I just want to come to work, why are you inviting me to dinner?" Qu Fan still didn't believe it.

"I'm the boss here, do you need a reason if I want to invite someone to dinner?" the woman raised her glass and drank a sip of water and replied calmly, "The pot is already boiling, put the meat in it, I haven't eaten it yet, you should have a meal with me, after eating, let's talk about work, okay?" ”

Qu Fan thought about it, nodded shyly, said "um", and started eating with chopsticks.

This hot pot was eaten for two hours, Qu Fan really couldn't swallow it, but looking at the remaining meat on the table, he felt a pity.

It is true that the woman called too many dishes, but the two of them served the amount of eight people. And she only took a few symbolic bites, watching Qu Fan ponder the whole time.

"I'm done, let's talk about part-time jobs. Qu Fan took a sip of water, cleared his throat and said.

"I've been hungry for a long time, I'm worried that you're too hungry. ”

"That, my name is Qu Fan, I don't know what you call it. Qu Fan was a little embarrassed, few people would care about him, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

"My name is Bai Qingqing, and people outside call me Sister Qingqing, but I don't like this title. Bai Qingqing realized Qu Fan's embarrassment, and immediately changed the topic, "Can you tell me why you came out to work, look at your appearance, you are still in school, high school?"

The experience of the past ten years has made Qu Fan not believe in a person's good intentions from the bottom of his heart, although Bai Qingqing does not look like a bad person, but Qu Fan still does not plan to tell her. Qu Fan has become accustomed to hiding all his thoughts in his heart, and he is still calm on the surface.

"Yes, I am still in high school, I have too many younger brothers and sisters in my family, and I am the eldest in the family, so I want to work and go to school at the same time to reduce the burden on my family. This string of lies Qu Fan blurted out without blushing and without a heartbeat.

Bai Qingqing, who had read countless people, saw through Qu Fan lying at a glance. But she inexplicably has a familiar feeling with Qu Fan, and Qu Fan looks kind, although he doesn't like to laugh like other children, but he has a calmness and atmosphere that he shouldn't have at his age.

"Do you have any requirements, such as salary and treatment" Bai Qingqing elegantly held her chin and asked Qu Fan with a smile.

"I just need to eat and shelter, I come every day after school, and I work all day on weekends. I know it's not going to be a good thing, but I'm going to work hard and I don't have to pay for it. After saying this, Qu Fan was a little nervous, and his head was always lowered.

"Don't you go home after work?"

"Well, my home is in the countryside, it's too far from here to be convenient. As soon as he finished saying this, Qu Fan realized that something was wrong. When children from rural areas go to school in the city, their families will definitely not lack money, so they will think clearly about it in the future.

Bai Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, but we don't provide accommodation here, if you don't mind, I have a few empty rooms in my house, you can stay in my house." ”

Why do you let me live in your house for no reason, Qu Fan couldn't understand why Bai Qingqing was so good to him, he was courteous and courteous, and he was either a traitor or a thief. But I'm sloppy, there's nothing to treacherous, nothing valuable, nothing to steal, what does Bai Qingqing want to do here, should I agree?

No, I'm not related to her, and now I owe her such a big favor, I don't know how to pay it back in the future, so it's better to refuse.
