Sang Xiaoyu didn't dare to rest. No matter whether there was anyone in the store or not, she kept doing something, either picking up a rag to clean the kitchen, picking up rags to mound the floor, or going to the front hall to tidy up the tables and chairs.
It was not as busy as in the morning at noon, and the time soon reached 1:30. The landlady went out to buy vegetables. When she came back, they had to select and wash the vegetables.
Sang Xiaoyu spoke with difficulty, saying that her home was too far away from here and she wanted to live in the store.
The proprietress said that there wasn't even a bed in the store and there were no quilts, so it was cold at night.
Sang Xiaoyu said she could overcome it.
The landlady thought for a while and decided to let her go home to get a quilt first. It was winter now and the weather was getting colder and colder. She couldn't bear it.
The buns are laid on the bottom floor of the first floor. They are heated in winter, but there are no beds.
The landlady thought about it for a while, but agreed, and said she could eat any of the buns in the store.
There are some leftover buns every day, and apart from the few of them eating them, the rest are kept in the refrigerator, mainly for them to eat.
Sang Xiaoyu took the bus home that day and picked up a quilt and pillow.
She must ride her bike back.
When her mother heard that she wanted to take the quilt to live in the store, she asked how the situation was in the store. Sang Xiaoyu exaggeratedly said it was very good.
Mother said how good can a bun shop be?
Sang Xiaoyu said it is a large-scale store.
The mother said with some sadness: "Ever since your two uncles borrowed money, they have stopped answering my calls. I wanted to call your uncle yesterday because his birthday is tomorrow, but he just wouldn't.
catch."
Sang Xiaoyu had no choice but to persuade her mother to be more open-minded. It was understandable that people were afraid of them now.
My mother sighed and said, "It's all about money. I don't even have contact with my relatives anymore."
Sang Xiaoyu was afraid of hearing more sad words, so she hurried away.
Her mother walked her to the gate and said that there was no one to talk to now, and the neighbors were either asking for money or seeking information.
Sang Xiaoyu and her mother tied the quilt wrapped in plastic cloth to the car. She felt extremely guilty and could not face her mother's complaints.
Walking on the street, Sang Xiaoyu thought, they are already overwhelmed by life, how can they have the qualifications to contact others? Now everyone who sees them seems to be avoiding the plague, fearing that they will ask for money.
Alas, it makes sense for poor people to have no relatives.
Finally arriving at the store, the boss came out to take the quilt and asked her why she didn't take the mattress?
Sang Xiaoyu was a little afraid of him, and said with sincerity that she couldn't bring the bicycle with her.
The man took the quilt into the back room and said that there was nothing in the storage room and he could just put the quilt here during the day.
Sang Xiaoyu saw that the boss's wife was not there, and watched from a distance as the boss put the quilt in the storage room.
Just then the landlady came back to pick up the boss. The boss reminded her that he would bring his own mattress for a bed tomorrow. The landlady looked at her husband doubtfully, and Sang Xiaoyu quickly said no, no need.
The boss and his wife left at two o'clock. The girl's name was Yanzi, and she was their distant relative.
After they left, it was Sang Xiaoyu's world.
She washed all the vegetables bought by the landlady, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and washed and dried all the things that would be used tomorrow.
When it was seven o'clock, Sang Xiaoyu put several tables together. She didn't have a mattress, so she had to cover half of them and pad half of them.
So tired.
At the end of the day, there is almost no time to rest.
Sang Xiaoyu didn't sleep well either.
She was afraid of falling off the table and did not dare to turn over.
The heating in the room was average, and Sang Xiaoyu felt that winter was coming.
Early the next morning, Sang Xiaoyu got up at 3:30. Her sleep was uncomfortable, her waist and back hurt.
She minced all the meat with a meat grinder, cut the vegetables, and mixed the stuffing. Originally, she wanted to wrap it now, but she stopped because she felt that the lady boss put something into the stuffing while mixing the stuffing.
When the boss and his family arrived, Sang Xiaoyu had done all the preparations, and the boss and his wife had smiles on their faces.
The lady boss poured some white powder into the stuffing. Sang Xiaoyu asked what it was, and she said she could make a few pots of it tomorrow.
The landlady said it was something to add freshness, equivalent to MSG, and told Sang Xiaoyu where to put it and how much to put it in.
Sang Xiaoyu had no doubt that there was nothing wrong with the steamed buns here, because the couple enjoyed eating them more than anyone else.
Sang Xiaoyu gradually adapted to the life here, and got along quite well with the boss and his wife.
The boss and his wife are both loyal people, generous and informal. Their only shortcoming is that they like to scold people in a loud voice.
One time, Sang Xiaoyu picked up the wrong box when picking up condiments. The landlady cursed her for a long time, saying that Sang Xiaoyu was just a pretty girl and couldn't even understand what she was saying.
Sang Xiaoyu said nothing, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She feels that she can work more, but she cannot bear the scolding of others.
I would rather suffer on my body than have a fever on my face.
But there is no way, people with advantages also have disadvantages.
Not to mention the girl named Yanzi, who couldn't even go a day without being scolded. The landlady said she was the one who deserved the scolding.
The girl was scolded and cursed, turning from scolding to personal insults, but the girl did not dare to say a word.
The girl was only nineteen years old and was timid every day. Sang Xiaoyu felt some sympathy for her.
Life is on track. Sang Xiaoyu is a mysophobic person. She has long been dissatisfied with her environment, and the store owner must not be aware of this problem.
Sang Xiaoyu felt that the two of them were not very clean people. Sometimes they would grab the buns and eat them without washing their hands. In addition, the wife of the boss liked to smoke. When she was working, Sang Xiaoyu's heart was lifted. She mixed the stuffing.
Sometimes I hold a cigarette in my mouth, and the ashes...
Sang Xiaoyu felt that the relationship between the couple was particularly good, especially the woman, who almost obeyed the man's words, while the man hardly spoke all day long, but when there were naughty customers, the man's glare was a magic weapon to stop them.
Women scold everyone, but never their husbands.
Sang Xiaoyu felt that the most important reason why she chose this bun shop was that the proprietress reassured her. The proprietress should be a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. She likes to go straight in everything and does not like to beat around the bush and is easy to get along with.
As for the boss, although he is cold and doesn't like to talk, he must have a similar personality to be able to become a family with such a woman.
One time, they were having dinner and the boss was out shopping. Sang Xiaoyu saw that she could eat seven or eight buns at a time and was so fat that she weighed more than 180 kilograms, so he whispered to her to lose weight.
The boss lady saw that Sang Xiaoyu only ate one bun and a bowl of porridge every time, so she asked if she could still work like this.
Sang Xiaoyu said she was used to it.
The woman asked them both to call her Sister Mei.
Sister Mei said that although I am fat, I am not stupid and I am very agile at work.
Sang Xiaoyu said that as long as Brother Zhao (the boss) doesn’t think you are fat.
Sister Mei immediately burst out laughing and said, "You two, listen to me. If you dare to seduce your Brother Zhao, I will chop you two into pieces."
Sang Xiaoyu and Yanzi stopped laughing immediately.
Sister Mei burst out laughing again and said, "You two don't have to be afraid. You can tell she is not a woman who seduces men. The slutty fox passed by me and no one ran away."
Only then did Sang Xiaoyu and Yanzi show forced smiles.
Sister Mei stretched out her arm, pointed to a scar on her wrist and said, "Did you see it? When we were in love, his family didn't agree and he backed down. I died on the spot in front of their whole family, which scared my mother-in-law."
I actually fainted..." After saying that, he laughed again.
"At that time..." Sang Xiaoyu felt that the woman was not ugly, but it was hidden by her fatness.
The landlady immediately said: "I was a famous beauty back then. Otherwise, would you, Brother Zhao, be able to fall in love with me?"
Seeing that they were still a little confused, he explained: "I was not like this back then. I only weighed over a hundred pounds, and the wind could blow me all over the place..."
Sang Xiaoyu and Yanzi both laughed.
Sang Xiaoyu said with some envy: "Don't you never quarrel? I have never seen you quarrel."
Sister Mei continued to laugh and said: "A man is just a child and will never grow up. It's boring to be the same as them."
Sang Xiaoyu remembered the way she fought with the male customers. That kind of fussy and fierce look was not as calm as she made it sound now.
this is Love.
Sister Mei said that he had an ex-girlfriend. She came to see him a few days ago. It seemed that she owed money or something happened to her family. I didn't bother to ask. Before she could finish speaking, I went up and slapped him. I said you want to
It's not his ex-girlfriend. I'll borrow any amount of money, but given the relationship between the two of you, stay away from me, or I'll make it difficult for you to sleep and eat well.
Sang Xiaoyu looked at her blankly.
Sister Mei said proudly: "No one dares to come forward and they can't be beaten to death."
Sang Xiaoyu said in confusion: "Don't you have to blame your husband when something happens? Why do you spread your anger on others?"
Sister Mei immediately said: "How can he be so thoughtful? It's all women's fault."
Sang Xiaoyu really accepted her point of view.
Sister Mei asked with interest: "I feel like you should be married. Do you have any children?"
Sang Xiaoyu nodded.
Sister Mei asked in disbelief: "You are here with me every day, who cares about your children? You just want to make this little money, and you don't even care about your children?"
Sang Xiaoyu was speechless.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Sister Mei asked, "Can you always tell me what you did before? I feel like you should be an office worker."
Sang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "I used to work as a designer. I resigned because of my family. It is no longer possible to return to my original employer. I owe some money to my family. I just want to make more money and pay off the debt."
Sister Mei asked curiously: "How much do you owe?"
Sang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, I can pay it back."
Sister Mei said kindly: "If it's tens of thousands of dollars, I can help you, as long as you keep doing it here."
Sang Xiaoyu was noncommittal, and she didn't know where her future was.
Sister Mei glanced at Sang Xiaoyu and said: "I think you are quite honest. Let me tell you, honest people don't suffer at all. Smart people always think they can take advantage. In fact, I can see through it at a glance. If you are like others
I won't use you if you're just being lazy and cheating."
Sang Xiaoyu nodded quickly.
Brother Zhao is back.
I also bought Sister Mei her favorite dried fruits.
"Why buy this? It's so expensive." Sister Mei's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling. At this moment, she seemed to be a little girl in love.
Sister Mei put all the dried fruits in the drawer, and the boss said, "There are still some for them."
Sister Mei lost her face and said, "I know, didn't I open the package?"
Sang Xiaoyu felt that the boss was quite considerate sometimes, at least he never got angry with the two of them. After getting along for a long time, Sang Xiaoyu felt that he had the poise and mediocrity of a family man.
They left before two o'clock that day.
Sister Mei deliberately threw the bag of dried fruits into her small bag.
Because there is Sang Xiaoyu in the store, they can leave early and come back later.
Sang Xiaoyu immediately took action. She moved all the eight tables and ten chairs in the house outside, and also asked her to put all the pots, pans and pots in the kitchen on the table outside.
She put them all in a basin of hot water and put caustic soda in them.
Then she sprinkled dishwashing liquid around all the corners of the room, and then swept the walls with a clean broom.
Taking advantage of this time, she washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and then started to use the flushing water pipe to rinse all the floors in the house.
She started cleaning alone.
Sang Xiaoyu didn't dare to rest. When she rested, all her debts would come to mind, and she could only pass the extra time by being busy.
She wiped the kitchen for more than two hours, but the greasy stains could not be removed for a while. Sang Xiaoyu could only wipe the countertop until there was no dust or oil stain.
Then I went to the front hall and wiped out the original white color of the tiles bit by bit.
The tiles had long turned brown and black, and it was not easy for Sang Xiaoyu to clean them all out.
The door to the room was open, but the top of her head was sweating. It was already November outside, and she was busy working in the steaming heat.
When Sang Xiaoyu lowered her head and brushed the dust in the crevices, she didn't expect that the boss and the boss's wife came. They called her, and she turned around and was stunned for a moment, asking, "Why are you here?"
It turns out that the boss came home and said that we didn’t know anything about this person named Sang Xiaoyu. I’m not worried about her sleeping in the store at night, but there must be rice, noodles, grains and oils in the store. If she has other intentions, then we don’t
Did you lose money?
The boss lady thought it made sense when she heard it.
Men say they are not afraid of women being happy but they are afraid of women being withered.
Sister Mei said, isn't he just such a person?
The man ignored her and started to get dressed and look for the keys.
Sister Mei couldn't sit still and was about to leave.
The man thought for a moment and said, "Get the mattress so that I can have an excuse to see her."
Sister Mei tapped the man's face with her finger and said, "You are almost a man. You are obviously going to catch a thief, but you have such a good excuse."
The man ignored her and went out alone.
Sister Mei hugged a mattress and jumped on the motorcycle.
The man rode a motorcycle and ran to the store with his wife at lightning speed.
The two of them didn't want to be better off, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was going to happen, so they had no choice but to catch up at speed.
When they were still some distance away from the store, but could see the shadow of the store, both of them panicked. Their store was brightly lit, and all the things had been moved outside.
The landlady said she wanted to move the entire store.
The two speeded up and soon arrived at the entrance of the store.
