In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Mo took a long-distance bus to Jincheng. It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when he arrived in Jincheng, and Lin Shu still had half an hour to finish school. Lin Shu and Principal Pang stayed at the house of Principal Pang's elder brother. Principal Pang's elder brother now works in the county education committee, but his wife is a middle school teacher in Jincheng and lives in Jincheng with their children. The house allocated by the unit is not big. Lin It was already very inconvenient for Shu and Principal Pang to live there, so it was naturally impossible for Lin Mo to live there.
So after deciding to come over to accompany Lin Shu for a while, Lin Mo asked Principal Pang to find out if there was any short-term rental house. Principal Pang never asked his sister-in-law to help find one, and it was just downstairs of his sister-in-law's house, which was the house of a colleague who had a good relationship with the school. They just moved to a new house and were worried about what to do with the old house , Hearing she said that she wanted to rent for a month for a short-term rent for her nephew who came to train at home, she agreed immediately, and she refused to charge any money. However, at the insistence of Principal Pang, he still paid 1,000 yuan in rent.
The owner of the house was very generous, saying that the home appliances and furniture in the house could be used by them. Principal Pang only bought two quilts to replace, and moved in with his bags. Principal Pang knew that Lin Mo's cooking was delicious. He heard that Lin Mo would come over in the afternoon, so he bought a lot of ingredients during his lunch break. In the afternoon, he had to go to school to give special training to the students, so he hid the key on the flower window in the corridor, and he had already called Lin Mo in advance to tell him.
Lin Mo came out of the station, hailed a taxi and rushed directly to the family building. When he was about to reach the destination, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the corner. Lin Mo hurriedly called the taxi driver to stop, paid and got off Walk quickly to the flower bed on the side of the road.
"Sister Zhiqiu, what's the matter with you? Are you okay?" Lin Mo couldn't help frowning as he looked at the crying woman sitting by the flower bed. I haven't seen her for more than half a year. The little nurse who was once fat and puffy has lost a lot of weight. Her complexion is yellow and haggard, and her two small eyes are red and swollen like walnuts.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment before seeing the person clearly. He held back tears and forced an awkward smile: "Xiao Lin is you, I'm fine."
It was the peak time of getting off work, and many passers-by on the road kept looking here. After the initial depressed emotions were shed with tears, Ye Zhiqiu felt only embarrassment and pain in his heart. He picked up the scratched bag at his feet and wanted to Walk. Seeing that her expression was not right, Lin Mo was afraid that something would happen to her, so he said, "Sister Zhiqiu, I live near here, how about you go to my place to sit and wash your face before leaving?" Lin Mo was afraid that she would refuse , trying to slow down his voice, "Your family will be worried if you go home like this."
Unexpectedly, when Ye Zhiqiu heard Lin Mo mentioning the word family, the tears she had just stopped shed again. Lin Mo seldom saw women cry, and he cried so sadly and didn't know what was going on, so he was at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu finally wiped his tears and nodded and left with him.
Walking into the community and finding the unit building, Lin Mo quickly found the key hidden by Principal Pang on the flower window, opened the door and entered the house. The house is not furnished but well-organized, and there is a unique elegance of intellectual families everywhere. Lin Mo welcomed Ye Zhiqiu to the sofa in the living room and sat down, went to the kitchen to find a cup for her and poured warm water for her, then turned on the fan.
Ye Zhiqiu wiped away his tears with a paper towel on the table, and after drinking half a glass of water, he finally controlled his emotions, frowned and sighed: "I'm so sorry, I made you laugh."
Lin Mo hooked the corner of his mouth kindly, "How could it be? When everyone is not going well, it's good to vent their emotions. Of course, crying can vent emotions, but it can't solve the problem. If sister Zhiqiu encounters any difficulties, you can Tell me, maybe I can help you think of a way." Back then when his father was seeing a doctor in the provincial hospital, Ye Zhiqiu took care of them a lot, and Lin Mo couldn't just sit idly by for her kindness, not because of relatives ignore.
Ye Zhiqiu looked tired, sighed softly, looked down at the cup in his hand and said, "... what can I do."
Lin Mo said softly: "If you hide everything in your heart and refuse to say it, then there is really nothing you can do."
Between a teenager and a young man, the cold and gentle voice seemed to have inexplicable magic power. Ye Zhiqiu had the illusion that all the restlessness in his heart had calmed down, and he spoke slowly.
It turned out that Ye Zhiqiu's father was also a doctor at the Provincial Hospital, the chief surgeon. During an operation more than a month ago, the patient suddenly bled and died on the hospital bed. The family members of the patient put all the blame on the father. This family is very strong in the backstage of Jincheng, and they want to make the father pay for it with blood. Under pressure, the hospital fired Dr. Ye. Dr. Ye asked himself that there was no technical problem. The patient's death was completely accidental. The hospital refused to listen to the explanation. And this person is not only Doctor Ye's apprentice, but also Ye Zhiqiu's new boyfriend. 'The evidence of the crime is conclusive'. Under the operation of the patient's family, Dr. Ye was arrested by the police, and after just over a week, he committed suicide in the detention center. The Ye family only took a quick look at his last remains at the funeral home before he was pushed into the incinerator. Whether it was suicide or homicide, only God knows.
Duanduan just disappeared like this, Ye Zhiqiu's mother couldn't bear such a blow at all, she had a cerebral infarction, although she was rescued in time, she was paralyzed for life. The family's savings were used on her like running water, and there was still no improvement. Today, Ye Zhiqiu was notified that she was late and early to leave many times, and neglected her duties during work hours. The hospital fired her.
Ye Zhiqiu is just a girl in her early twenties and the only child in her family. She has always been pampered and loved by her parents. Since she was a child, it has been smooth sailing. Where has she ever experienced such a thing? A series of blows made her disheartened, and the indifferent and mocking faces of relatives and friends made her even more sad. The family savings were running low, and the hundreds of dollars in severance pay from the hospital were still stolen by thieves on the bus. , so there was a scene of her crying in despair on the side of the road.
After hearing what she said, Lin Mo also felt sorry for her, who wouldn't say some high-sounding comfort? However, thinking about the happy and warm 'fat ball' who was eager to help others, and looking at the down-and-out and desperate woman, how can Lin Mo speak easily
After a moment of silence, Lin Mo said softly: "Sister Zhiqiu, I believe you have heard enough words of comfort, so I will stop talking nonsense. What are your future plans?"
Talking is the best way to vent. After Ye Zhiqiu said those words to Lin Mo, he felt a little better, and said with a wry smile, "What else can I do? I can only go straight when the boat reaches the bridge. My biggest dream now, I just hope my mom gets better soon."
"Then do you plan to work in the hospital in the future?" Lin Mo looked at her.
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "With the record of being expelled from the provincial hospital, which hospital would want me? Even if they would, I don't want to go again. It's boring." Being an 'angel in white' was Ye Zhiqiu's dream since he was a child, but , the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that a dream would turn into a nightmare one day
Lin Mo's heart moved, and he asked, "Then do you have any other plans?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Now just the medical expenses my mother needs every day are overwhelming me. My mind is like mud. I don't have the time to think about anything else."
Lin Mo was silent for a while, and said, "Sister Zhiqiu, would you like to go with me to the capital to develop."
"To the capital?" Lin Mo's question was so jumpy that Ye Zhiqiu's mind froze for a moment.
Lin Mo explained: "That's right, after the summer vacation is over, I'm going to the capital to study high school, and I plan to open a joint venture with my friend to open a herbal restaurant there. If you are interested, I can hand over this restaurant to you. "
There is no doubt that Dad can now fully manage the hot pot restaurant, and a single hot pot restaurant is not Lin Mo's goal. Therefore, when he went to the capital this time, Lin Mo didn't intend to just be a competent nerd in school, he wanted to expand his plan. Under Dad's management, the hot pot restaurant's business model is becoming more and more mature. Starting from Jincheng, it is best to gradually develop steadily like peripheral provinces and cities. So, in the capital, he planned to open a medicated restaurant. At present, herbal diet is only spread among a very small number of upper-class people. Even in the capital, there are not two restaurants in the true and complete sense of herbal diet. From the perspective of developing and occupying the market, it is undoubtedly the best time. If hot pot is a bottom-up grassroots culture, then herbal cuisine can be regarded as a top-down aristocratic diet. The capital is the capital of a country, and opening the head office there will be extremely beneficial to future development .
After Lin Mo returned to the capital, he had already started to conceive and consider the matter of the herbal restaurant. He doesn't need to worry too much about formulas, stores, funds, contacts, etc. The only thing he lacks is a trustworthy person in charge. In any case, he went to the capital to attend high school, so he couldn't spend too much time in the shop. Based on his experience in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his previous life, he already has a candidate for the head chef, and now he lacks a shop manager who can manage the overall situation and who he can trust. In his previous life, he was a few years later in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Those managers are probably still studying in college or accumulating experience at the grassroots level. It is not difficult to find these people. The difficult thing is that they have different experiences. Neither ability nor loyalty can meet his requirements.
To be honest, Ye Zhiqiu is not his ideal candidate. After all, her essential job is a nurse, and she has never worked in the catering industry. But he is willing to give her a chance to try, there is an element of gratitude in it, and of course he values Ye Zhiqiu's quality more. Enthusiasm, responsibility, integrity, and kindness, although he didn't have much contact with Ye Zhiqiu, he could see these beautiful qualities in her. From these four points alone, he believes that as long as Ye Zhiqiu is not hopelessly stupid, he will be qualified for this job, and it is only a matter of time.
