Continued: Going to the city to work for a few months
Another village is bright and bright. When Xiaoying was worried about her future livelihood, she actually had a ready-made job opportunity in front of her, which was too surprising and too surprising.
But Xiaoying cooled down after only a few seconds of this joy. She subconsciously reached out to touch the scar on her face, and her fingertips trembled all over as soon as she touched them... With such an ugly appearance, how could anyone hire her?
Xiaoying poked her head out of the sheet, and her chaotic hair covered the scars on her cheeks. She saw a woman wearing heavy makeup standing beside Grandma Sun. This person said she wanted to introduce her to her job, and she was Grandma Sun's daughter.
Xiaoying was grateful, but was uneasy, and she couldn't believe it. A hoarse voice came from her dry throat: "I...my injury is scary..."
Grandma Sun looked at Xiaoying with care and then at her daughter, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Yanhong, this girl is like this now. Can she really go to work?"
When the woman named Yanhong saw Xiaoying's face, she didn't show much horror. She quickly looked normal and said lazily: "This look of ghost is definitely not good. At least her hairstyle needs to be changed, and she uses bangs to cover the scars on her forehead. She wears a mask on her face... This may be barely possible. Anyway, she is just washing dishes in the kitchen and doesn't have to go out to greet the guests."
Washing dishes? Is it actually asking Xiaoying to be a dishwasher?
This kind of dirty and tiring work is very hard. There are many places to recruit dishwashers in the city, but few people are willing to work. No wonder Grandma Sun's daughter promised to arrange a job for Xiaoying. It just so happened that the place where she works is a restaurant, and she often hires dishwashers because most of the people she recruits can't do it for a long time.
But even such a job is extremely valuable for Xiaoying's current situation. Grandma Sun lives a hard life and her daughter gives her very little living expenses. Now if Xiaoying still needs to support her, how can Grandma Sun survive? So Xiaoying made up her mind to work and make money.
When Xiaoying heard the woman say this, she felt hope ignited in her heart. It was right to think about it. She worked in the kitchen without having to greet customers. She wore a mask and covered her forehead with thick bangs, so that she would not scare people.
As long as you have a job, you can survive. It doesn’t matter if you have a hard time. Before going to the Fan Mansion, she was exhausted every day in her home and countryside. She had survived all those days, and now she should be fine to wash dishes.
"What do you think?" Grandma Sun asked Xiaoying affectionately, without any intention of urging her.
Although Xiaoying's appearance has been destroyed, her clear eyes are still bright and charming, with little sparkles and nods of crystal clearness. She bit her lips and nodded.
Seeing Xiaoying agreeing, Grandma Sun's daughter spoke, "The salary is 1,000 yuan a month, and the restaurant is not suitable for food or housing. You can rent a house outside by yourself."
The indifferent tone and what he said was also a bit heartbreaking.
How can you live in the city if you have a salary of 1,000 yuan? Even if you have nothing in a simple single room, you will need to rent it for about four or five hundred yuan in City C. There are also expenses such as water, electricity, and gas... Fortunately, the restaurant is equipped with food. Although the salary is very low, at least you can't starve to death.
Xiaoying was not unwilling or disgusted at all. For her, being able to survive with her own hands was already a first step.
In fact, the real job is more than 1,000 yuan, but 1,500 yuan. However, Grandma Sun's daughter deliberately said 1,000 yuan, which means that she still discriminated against Xiaoying in secret. She felt that Xiaoying could have a job was a great gift, and there was no need to spend 1,005 yuan to invite her back. In addition, she used 1,000 yuan to hire a dishwasher, saving the boss a monthly expense of 500 yuan. The boss would definitely appreciate her more...
After the work was negotiated, Grandma Sun invited Xiaoying to have a meal. Xiaoying ate two simple vegetarian dishes... Although Grandma Sun's daughter will go to work in the city tomorrow, Xiaoying is a little reluctant to let Grandma Sun go, but this place is never her destination. She cannot stay here for free and live. Self-reliance is her way out. Even if the road ahead is difficult, for a person who has died once, nothing is more painful than the pain when he struggles back and forth between life and death.
Grandma Sun talks more to Xiaoying than to her daughter. Xiaoying vaguely notices that Grandma Sun and her daughter are not very close. The woman will always show her face to Grandma Sun, and she speaks loudly, impolitely, and has no respect for her elders. But Grandma Sun always treats her smiling face and looks cautious, which shows that there are some problems between the mother and daughter, but Xiaoying is not convenient to ask questions, just knowing it. She is thinking secretly that this woman is dressed in a charming and fashionable outfit, not like she has no money, but she is very stingy to Grandma Sun, and she gives her very little living expenses every month. If Grandma Sun had not saved money, she would have lived a life without any knowledge...
Xiaoying will not interfere in other people's housework, but she knows how to repay kindness. No matter how much money she earns, she will never forget Grandma Sun. She will definitely be like she is filial to her grandmother.
Xiaoying couldn't say these words, she would just keep them in her heart and silently do them.
At night, Xiaoying slept alone in a dark and wet hut, tossing and turning, and was restless. She remembered the moment she died, and remembered the sound of a man talking when she was in a coma... They were the ones who fished her out of the river and then cruelly left her behind. She didn't know who the mysterious person was. Because she was seriously injured and was in a coma, she only knew that she had been rescued and left behind, but for some reason, she later asked Grandma Sun that she had never seen anyone else.
Xiaoying couldn't understand the twists and turns, and didn't know what the mysterious man intended, but since she couldn't find out, she could only give up. Of course, she wouldn't know that the other party was Fandi's mortal enemy, and she followed her from the day when she left the Fan Mansion...
*I haven't sleep until dawn, and my mental state is worse. My face is pale and bloodshot in my eyes. When Grandma Sun's daughter Yanhong saw it, she scolded Xiaoying a few words, saying that she was like a ghost crawling out of the grave.
Nowadays, Xiaoying's temper and personality have changed compared to before. When faced with other people's ridicule and sarcasm, she can be calm and deaf. She has become silent and endured. What's more, this woman has found a job for her. If she talks back or quarrels with others, the job may be ruined.
Although Yanhong provided Xiaoying with a job opportunity, she was not a good person. She only agreed after her mother begged her. She also made the decision to pay Xiaoying a salary of 1,000 yuan. This cheap labor is not easy to find. Yanhong felt that she had saved the boss this time, and the boss would praise her for her ability to do things after she went back.
Xiaoying had nothing and had nothing. The two sets of clothes were still the old clothes that Grandma Sun had taken from home. The one she had worn on her was already put away by her. She bought it in the Fan Mansion before. Now she was going to start her life again. When she saw this, she would think of someone. So she wrapped it in cloth and put it in her pocket, and didn't plan to wear it anymore.
During this period, I got along with Grandma Sun like my relatives. I was reluctant to part with my family. Grandma Sun didn't say it on the surface, but she felt very sad... Her daughter rarely came home to see her all year round, and she was alone. Fortunately, she had Xiaoying as her company during this period, so she felt that life was not so empty. But now Xiaoying was going to work in the city, and Grandma Sun had no one to accompany her. This bitterness and desolation really makes people sigh.
He left reluctantly, Xiaoying kept looking back in the car. Seeing Grandma Sun standing by the roadside, waving to her, the old man's kind smile was a little sad again, touching Xiaoying's heart, and it was sore and painful.
But the woman sitting next to Xiaoying was expressionless, looking down and playing with her cell phone, without any reluctance to give up on her mother, and never looked back and took a look.
Xiaoying frowned and couldn't help blurting out: "Sister Yanhong, Grandma Sun is alone, why don't you take her to the city to live? Isn't it good for a family to live together?"
Yanhong's expression froze, and then a little displeasure appeared. She gave Xiaoying a blank look and said, "My house is very small in the city and I can't live in one more person... Don't interfere with this kind of thing. My mother didn't say anything, so why is it your turn to meddle in other people's business? I warn you that you can't talk too much when you go to a restaurant to work like this. You just need to work every day. Don't talk too much about anything you shouldn't ask about! You must know that I promised to solve your work problem because my mother begged me for the sake of her. If you don't be smart, say anything you shouldn't say, or work hard, I won't help you."
These words were not given any affection, and they were completely like giving gifts to beggars. Not to mention the person involved, even the driver driving in front could not help but shake his head secretly when he heard this... This woman's words were so stinking!
Xiaoying silently lowered her head, no longer spoke, and looked at her toes in a daze... Yanhong, the woman, gave her a job under great silence. She would be grateful, but she also understood what position she was in the eyes of others, and she was afraid she was not as good as garbage.
But even so, Xiaoying would not act irritated. She knew very well that this job was important to her. This was the beginning of her new life. She had to go out to have a way out.
Even after experiencing death, what else can stump her? No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, how can she compare to the severe pain and difficulties she survived through a life-and-death struggle?
It doesn’t matter if you are sarcastic and despised by others. If you can live in one breath, she will have to hold on.
Yanhong works in a Sichuan restaurant in the city. The shop is not big and the decoration is outdated, but fortunately the dishes taste good, so the business is quite good. I hired two dishwashers some time ago but left after working for two months. Xiaoying came very quickly, and the store was really short of people.
Before coming to the store, Yanhong bought a mask for Xiaoying to wear, and used scissors to scrub Xiaoying's hair to cover the scar on her forehead... The trimming technique was too poor, and her bangs were cut off with one knife, and her original long hair was cut off, which was only as long as the cheek. Remove the mask could also cover some wounds on her face. It could be seen with just a little movement.
This hairstyle is rustic and ugly. Because Yanhong couldn't bear to spend money, she cut it for Xiaoying himself with scissors.
Yanhong is a cashier in the restaurant, and the boss is a friend of her husband. I heard that Yanhong brought a dishwasher from the countryside and only needs to spend a salary of 1,000 yuan to hire him. The boss was also a little surprised. In the past, it was only 1,500 yuan before someone was willing to wash the dishes.
The boss is a fat middle-aged man with big ears, with yellow teeth and half a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the thin Xiaoying in front of him.
"Yanhong, why is she still wearing a mask?"
"She has injuries on her face, and she is afraid of scaring people, so she has to wear a mask. Boss, anyway, she is just working in the kitchen, and wearing a mask is nothing. But I just brought the people over. If the boss thinks it is not suitable, then forget it, I will tell her to go back."
The boss gasped and stared at Xiaoying without blinking, thinking that he was injured and still on his face. No wonder he was willing to pay a thousand dollars to work.
"I'll take off my mask and let me see." The boss frowned, and there was no intention in the mung bean's eyes.
Xiaoying subconsciously clenched her fists. She felt uncomfortable when she was staring at her so tightly, let alone the other party was about to look at her face.
I slowly took off my mask and saw that this originally beautiful face was branded with a striking scar, as if there was an extra mouth on my face.
The boss was surprised and waved his hand in disgust: "Put it on, it's so disgusting. Don't take off your mask when working in the future, so as not to feel disgusted."
This person also sarcastically sarcastically, regardless of other people's feelings. Each word is like a steel needle piercing Xiaoying's chest.
But Xiaoying understood that this was just the beginning. In the future, she would encounter more verbal attacks that were more vicious than this. If she couldn't even bear this, how could she talk about supporting herself?
Xiaoying took a deep breath, put on the mask again, and looked at the boss, her mood became much calmer.
"Boss, did you agree to keep her?" Yanhong asked tentatively.
The boss nodded impatiently and repeated the matter about work treatment. Xiaoying became an employee in the store.
If it weren't for the salary of only 1,000 yuan, the boss wouldn't have asked Xiaoying to stay. It was because the labor force was so cheap that he would have barely collected it.
There is only one master in the kitchen, Wu Guoli, an uncle in his fifties. There are two other young men who are working on it and sometimes they are responsible for some simple dishes, but the signature dishes in the store are all from Wu Guoli.
Although this restaurant is inconspicuous, there are several dishes in it that are famous. Most of them are repeat customers and are obsessed with the food here. This shows that Wu Guoli's cooking skills are very good.
