I don't know that Ye Jiao was stunned, and the woman holding the child was also stunned, panic and panic appeared in her eyes, she was a little at a loss, and looked at her beggingly.
"Ye Jiao?" Li Xin recognized her first, glanced at her up and down, "Why are you here?"
During the speech, he pretended to be surprised, more out of a sense of superiority, and even observed this small restaurant, but the other party was reduced to working in a small restaurant
Before Ye Jiao could speak, the old lady recognized her and said with a smile, "Let's order stir-fried vegetables. I heard that your tea eggs are good, so let's order one for each of us first?"
"Okay, wait a minute, let's take a look at the menu first." Ye Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to pour tea.
The old lady looked at Li Xin, "Is that the little girl in your bedroom?"
"Yeah, her husband is the one who doesn't help me make the bed sheets." Li Xin was still a little unhappy when he said it, and said with a pursed mouth, "I heard that he is a stall, but it seems that he can't continue to sell, so he came to work gone."
"Married at such a young age?" The man wearing glasses was puzzled, and the woman sitting next to him was surprised at first, looking at Ye Jiao's back with complicated eyes.
Since she is a classmate with Li Xin, did she pass the entrance exam to the University of God
"That's right." Li Xin supported his chin, reluctantly answering his words.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhe didn't say much.
"Xin'er, talk to your father properly." Mr. Li frowned and scolded in a low voice.
"Grandpa, you are attacking me again." Li Xin pouted.
Xiao Zhe looked at the way they got along with each other, his eyes turned alienated, and he calmly opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment.
Li Xin was born to him and his ex-wife Li Li. The Li family had only two daughters, and he was considered half married. Li Li passed away after giving birth.
He also has a bit of feudal thinking in his bones, and he feels that none of them are his surnames. They are also called the two grandparents of the Li family. They don't look like his daughter at all.
Ye Jiao walked over with the menu, pen and paper, and brought tea eggs and tea, "What would you like?"
"A fried eggplant with beans and a small plate of beef." Xiao Zhe ordered two dishes, and gave the menu to the old couple. The old lady ordered a dish, and then asked Li Xin what he wanted to eat.
"Is the fungus meat sliced spicy?" Li Xin asked.
"It can be stir-fried without being spicy, and there are shredded green peppers." Ye Jiao replied.
"I didn't say that the stir-fry is not spicy, I like to eat sliced meat with shiitake mushrooms, is that okay?" She asked again.
"It can be fried with shiitake mushrooms." Ye Jiao was very patient and was about to write.
"Forget it then. I don't want shredded green peppers. Grandpa can't eat spicy food, so it's fine." The old lady was about to say it, but when Li Xin said this, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and she was sensible.
Ye Jiao crossed out the two words written, and said politely, "That is sliced shiitake mushrooms without chili, right?"
"Yes." Li Xin said and looked at the menu again, "What is this boiled fish made of?"
"This one is slightly spicy."
Li Xin also likes to ask in detail. Tian Ping, who was holding the child, looked at Ye Jiao, not only did not feel distressed, but felt embarrassed. The current self-employed are the kind of people who are looked down upon, and they are humble.
She hugged the child and kept silent, she didn't even look in Ye Jiao's direction, her expression was a little uncontrollable.
Ye Jiao used to be her and Ye Xu's most beloved child, and she was very competitive in the university entrance examination, but why did she come to do such a job
It's so indecent.
"Woo hoo."
The child was still crying in her arms.
"Can you let her be quiet for a while?" Li Xin was a little impatient, and turned to look at Tian Ping.
"Tuantuan, stop arguing, let's be good." Tian Ping glanced at Xiao Zhe in embarrassment. The other party didn't speak, but also frowned. She quickly lowered her head to coax him.
Ye Jiao was writing, but when she heard her voice, the pen in her hand paused.
In her arms is a little girl who looks like she is only two years old. When her father was still there, Tian Ping had a good life and was a little anxious.
Now it seems that the corners of the water chestnut have been smoothed, and the voice is lowered when speaking, a little cautiously.
The mood is very complicated.
"I also need a seaweed soup. I like to put more eggs and seaweed." Li Xin ordered four dishes, then raised her head and said.
"Could it be too much? Now there are seven dishes and one soup, and there are only five adults. The amount is quite enough, and you may not be able to finish it." Ye Jiao asked kindly.
Xiao Zhe wanted to save face and didn't speak. Tian Ping moved her lips and suppressed them, but Li Xin smiled and said, "Can you take a break at work? Why don't you sit down and eat with us? It's okay."
She is generous and warm.
These words made Tian Ping's heart tighten, and her expression became unnatural.
"No, then I'll give the menu to the back chef." Ye Jiao smiled, "Wait a minute, everyone."
"You really don't want to eat with us?" Li Xin was still fighting, "Let's go together."
"Don't bark if you don't want to. I'm sorry." The old lady stopped her.
"I'm kind too. After all, I'm a roommate in the dormitory. Eating can make her lazy." Li Xin looked at Ye Jiao's busy figure and said.
The little worker brought out a plate of dishes from the back kitchen. As it was approaching twelve o'clock, more and more people came in to eat, and even the tables outside were full of people.
In the beginning, Ye Jiao was the only one busy, and she was really busy, calling her here, calling her there, and Li Xin asked her to refill tea.
Ye Jiao did not hear it again and again, there were too many people.
Later she pulled her face down and said displeasedly, "Ye Jiao, I need more tea, I'm dying of thirst."
"Sorry, I'm here." She is a customer at this time, and she has to meet her needs no matter what.
Before she could pass by, another worker had already come out, holding a bowl of rice noodles with mushrooms and beef, "I'll go, Brother Yang told you to eat your meal first."
After the words fell, he had already walked over.
After the cook cooked the dishes and brought them out, five small workers came out one after another, so she could take a break.
Li Xin saw Ye Jiao sitting at the counter and eating rice noodles.
Ye Jiao is a person who will not treat herself badly. Ji Yang asked someone to make her rice noodles with enough amount, but also added two fried eggs and vegetables according to her taste.
Very delicious.
She only gets up to collect the money when it's time to pay.
"It's five seven dollars all together."
"Your seventy-two."
"One dollar and forty cents, looking for your change."
…
One table left, Xiao Gong cleaned up, and the next table of guests came in again, and there were more fast food eaters, frying plate after plate.
Li Xin saw that she was very leisurely, the other small workers were working, she was the only one eating, and what kind of foreign guy was that
Isn't she a man with a husband
Needless to say? She must have hooked up with someone else behind her husband's back, so it seems quite smart to be able to work here.
She thought so from the bottom of her heart, and said so out loud, and whispered to Mrs. Li, "Grandma, you don't know, she usually wears very expensive clothes and spends money generously. A person from the countryside has a better life than me."
"The clothes you wear are very expensive, costing dozens."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li also frowned.
Although Ye Jiao didn't feel that way to her, but facing Ye Jiao and Li Xin, of course she believed Li Xin's words, and she also had a bad impression of Ye Jiao.
"These days, little girls don't study well, and you will have less contact with her in the future. Study hard and come out to find a good job." Xiao Zhe took a piece of meat and said this to her.
"I know Dad, I don't want to compare with her, but my life is not very good, and I don't have the money to compare with her." Li Xin said a little pitifully.
She is the best at pretending to be pitiful.
Xiao Zhe's face froze a bit, Tian Ping tightened her fingers, her focus was not on Ye Jiao, but on what Li Xin said, she dared not speak even with the old couple in the Li family.
Li Xin said a few more pitiful words, she was very wronged, and the thing that worried her most happened, Xiao Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "Going to school is to study hard, and Dad Qian will give you, and from now on, I will give you ten more every month." You don’t need to compare yourself with others, just study hard.”
"I know Dad." Li Xin couldn't help smiling, and looked at Tian Ping provocatively.
Tian Ping pulled La Xiaozhe under the table, but the other party didn't respond at all.
Originally, he was given thirty-five yuan per month, and now he is given ten yuan, which is forty-five yuan. Xiao Zhe's monthly salary plus various bonuses is less than one hundred yuan.
They don't have a house yet, their children are still young, and the other party still smokes and drinks alcohol. It's been a miserable month.
"Look at that dad is used to you." Although Mrs. Li said so, she was quite satisfied with Xiao Zhe's actions.
"My father loves me." After receiving the money, Li Xin had a sweet mouth, and was very happy when she looked at Ye Jiao. The money she got was easy, but the other party had to work very hard.
This is the difference between people, Ye Jiao pretended not to care about anything in front of her.
Is this interesting
Thinking of the last time her husband snatched her skirt, she was angry, and she had no money to save face.
After the meal was over, Xiao Zhe was going to pay the bill. Tian Ping was in a ball of pain, but Li Xin stood up first, "I want to treat Dad to this meal."
After saying that, she went to the counter, Ye Jiao looked at her, and said softly, "No need, it's your first time here, so just treat it like I'm treating you to dinner."
When speaking, be polite and respectful.
For Ye Jiao, it's not all about inviting her, Tian Ping is also there, their mother and daughter haven't seen each other for two years, so let's treat her to a meal, even though the other party doesn't care.
"No, it's not easy for you to make money. How long do you have to earn?" Li Xin shook his head, looking concerned for her, "Tell me, how much is it? Don't be polite to me."
"I really don't need it, I don't have much money." Ye Jiao smiled slightly.
"You..." Li Xin felt that Ye Jiao was slapping her swollen face to pretend to be fat, and used her own salary to help her pay, in order to make him think highly of her, after all, he discovered her little secret.
After thinking about it, it's okay to not end, and it can save money.
"Xin'er, come back first." Mrs. Li called her.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded, turned around and left again, and went to get the wallet by the way, pretending that he still had to pretend.
At this time, Ye Jiao had just finished eating, and went to the back kitchen with the bowl in hand. Ji Yang just came out and asked him to look at the front desk.
Several people also ate.
Seeing that she hadn't settled the bill yet, Xiao Zhe walked over by himself, but Tian Ping couldn't stop her.
"How much is table three?" he asked.
As soon as Ji Yang raised his head, he immediately saw Li Xin, and the other party also saw him. He was a little unsure at first, but then he took a second look, "Aren't you Ye Jiao's husband?"
"Yeah." Ji Yang nodded and didn't answer. He looked like he didn't know who she was, and looked at the menu with a businessman's enthusiastic smile, "No. 3, right? Six dollars and ninety-five cents."
"Why is it so expensive?" Tian Ping asked while observing him.
Speaking of which, this is still her "son-in-law".
Nearly seven dollars.
Seven yuan can buy ten catties of pork.
Her heart is bleeding.
Xiao Zhe also felt that it was a bit expensive, but he had to pay the bill, his face was dark.
"You guys ordered eight dishes, seaweed soup, eggs and seaweed, it costs 50 cents more." Ji Yang looked at the menu again and checked it again.
Li Xin was also funny. At first she said she wanted to pay the bill, but when she saw Xiao Zhe went to settle the bill later, she didn't want to go forward and wanted to save the money to go back to school to buy something she liked, so she said, "Just now Ye Jiao said that she gave We discount."
She said this because she wanted to call Ye Jiao out, and she didn't want to give money.
"My daughter-in-law said it?" Ji Yang nodded, and looked at the menu again, "Then just give it 6.5 yuan. Since it's what my daughter-in-law said, I won't ask."
"Just a few cents less?" Li Xin was a little unhappy. Just now, he said that the bill was exempted, and the gap was a bit big. He continued, "Both of you husband and wife work here, so you don't have any privileges? The boss doesn't know if you can reduce the bill even more." La."
Hearing this, Ji Yang's face darkened immediately, "This is our store, and we are the boss. My wife said that I have already discounted the discount, but I am not satisfied with the reduction? Do you want a free meal?"
"I've never seen a person like you, no less, no less!"
At this time, the small restaurant was full of people, and Ji Yang's voice was not low. When he said this, everyone turned their heads to look.
Xiao Zhena was ashamed, and Li Xin wanted to argue, but he quickly dropped the money and left.
Tian Ping hasn't digested what Ji Yang said, is this small restaurant opened by two people
Although self-employment is not decent, it looks quite rich.
Li Xin went out and saw the old couple, and scolded, "Why do I want to eat for free? It was clearly Ye Jiao who said it himself, and I said that I have to pay for it. It's too much."
"If you don't want to invite us, just tell us, in front of so many people."
"Excessive."
…
"Okay, just don't come next time, just pay for the food." Mrs. Li comforted her.
After parting ways, Tian Ping kept whispering in Xiao Zhe's ear, "There are two dishes left that I haven't eaten much, and it's six yuan. Our family only spends ten or eight yuan a month to buy vegetables. It's not packed, what a waste?"
"I have to pay the rent again soon, and my daughter still needs to drink milk powder."
"The rice at home..."
…
"Okay!" Xiao Zhe scolded with a dark face, "Is it over? Are you short of money and you earn it? If you don't earn money, you still have too many things!"
Tian Ping stopped talking, the child in her arms was frightened and cried, before she had time to say a few more words, the other party left directly, leaving her holding the child and rushing to catch up.
Xiao Zhe squandered the seven yuan, and the family is afraid that they will have to save money for a few days.
at the same time.
In the restaurant, Ji Yang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there was a small problem just now, our store does not offer discounts, but our store is holding an event today. Spend more than 2 yuan to get two tea eggs, and more than 5 yuan to get five tea eggs .”
This news still made the people present excited.
As for Ye Jiao, when she went to the back kitchen, she was invited by the worker to watch the fire, and she couldn't leave at all. When she knew that Ji Yang had taken money from Li Xin's family, it was time to settle accounts at night.
she asked him.
In the end, he was still confident, "This person has a bad attitude. He wants to bargain with me, and he even looks like he has to give her a waiver. He is so arrogant that I begged her to waive the bill. I am not happy."
"Why? I am angry at myself for not taking money?"
…
As he said that, he became angry again, "I'm sorry for myself if I don't ask her to pay, I don't even want to sell her."
Ye Jiao: "..."
In her heart, Li Xin really can't compare with him, Ji Yang's happiness is the most important thing, not only Li Xin, but she found that even Tian Ping is not as important as him in her heart.
He is the most important person.
