Xu Nannan brought the quilt himself, and made the bed together with Xu Xiaoman.
The next few beds had been made up, but no one was there. At this time, people haven't left work yet, and they probably haven't come back yet. Xu Nannan took out the toiletries from his backpack, all of which he picked out from the Taobao store to meet the standards of this era. White enamel mug, white toothbrush, wooden comb.
Xu Nannan also prepared two rectangular aluminum lunch boxes, one for her and one for Xiaoman. Workers in the canteen of the mine are not provided with meals, so they have to pay for their own meals. Just now, the guards took her to collect a meal ticket for one month. However, Xiaoman is not from the mine. Uncle Wei and the others helped him to live in the dormitory. The meal ticket is fixed, so it was not issued. The ticket is definitely not enough for the sister to use it. Xu Nannan is thinking about finding someone to buy some .
As soon as it was packed, it was time for lunch.
Just as Xu Nannan was about to take Xu Xiaoman to dinner, a young girl came to the dormitory. About eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks very generous. Seeing Xu Nannan, he asked curiously, "Are you the Xu Nannan assigned to our dormitory?"
Seeing a stranger, Xu Xiaoman subconsciously hid behind Xu Nannan.
Seeing this man's friendly look, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Xu Nannan. I just arrived at the mine today. I will work in the cafeteria from now on. This is my sister Xu Xiaoman. I don't know what to call you."
After coming to the mine, Xu Nannan decided to speak Mandarin.
Zhu Fang was quite surprised to hear Xu Nannan speak Mandarin. At that time, Putonghua was still widely used. Except for those who had read some books, many people still speak dialects.
She smiled and said, "My name is Zhu Fang, and I should be older than you. From now on, you can call me Sister Fang Fang." Then she looked at Xu Xiaoman, who was timid, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we will live together from now on. You haven't eaten yet, let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to eat. Today I will eat pork stewed vermicelli. It's gone if you go late."
After finishing speaking, I got into the house to get the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he muttered, "These two are really smart. They know that pork stewed vermicelli today, so they probably brought a lunch box to work."
He took the lunch box and came out quickly, "Go quickly, it will be gone if it is late."
Xu Nannan wasn't hungry at first, but when she mentioned the stewed pork vermicelli with yearning expression on her face, she couldn't help swallowing. Is it possible that the stewed vermicelli by the master chef in the cafeteria is so delicious
"See, the waiter in the middle is called Jiang Lili, and she also works in our dormitory." While queuing up, Zhu Fang pointed to a window in the middle. Xu Nannan took a special look. She was a young girl in an army green coat, with two braids, neat bangs, and a pointed chin. The person in front took a step forward, Xu Nannan also took a step forward, and then it was clear that this girl had single eyelids.
Finally, it was Xu Nannan's turn.
Zhu Fang ordered food and left with a smile on her face. Later, Xu Nannan also handed over the meal ticket, two lunch boxes. Jiang Lili glanced at her, then saw Xu Xiaoman. With a serious face, the spoon made a spoon on it and put it into Xu Nannan's bowl.
After seeing too much of the old lady Xu's cooking posture, Xu Nannan immediately saw the way.
Looking at the pitiful pieces of meat and vermicelli in his bowl, Xu Nannan knew that this person did it on purpose.
She suddenly became angry. In the mine, she didn't come into contact with very many people. She had no contact with this Jiang Lili at all, so why did she target her for no reason.
Although he was dissatisfied, but thinking that he had just come to the mine, it was not easy to argue with others over this matter, so Xu Nannan searched for a place with two bowls in his hand without saying a word.
"Xu Nannan, here." Zhu Fang waved.
Xu Nannan led Xu Xiaoman towards her.
"Why are you given so few dishes?" Zhu Fang frowned as she looked at the pork vermicelli in their bowl. She and Jiang Lili live in the same room, and she usually cooks at Jiang Lili's side, so she cooks at Jiang Lili's window every time. How come there are so few Xu Nannan. She just told Jiang Lili about their dormitory.
"Maybe it's not enough." Xu Nannan said casually.
Zhu Fang didn't believe this. It's not too late for them to come. When they first hit it, there was a big basin inside. Besides, Xu Nannan lives in the same dormitory as them, so she should take care of her no matter what. What is Jiang Lili thinking.
Zhu Fang was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it. In order to prevent others from thinking that she is provoking trouble.
"I have more, let's eat together." Zhu Fang poured the pork vermicelli from the bowl into her sister's two bowls.
Xu Nannan hurriedly stopped her, "Sister Fang, I've had enough, Xiaoman and I can't eat much."
After speaking, he laughed again, "From tomorrow onwards, I will also work in the kitchen, so there is no shortage of food."
Zhu Fang didn't force her anymore, she took back the chopsticks, then looked at Xu Nannan and smiled, "I know you two, I heard my aunt mention it before."
Xu Nannan was a little confused. She didn't know when she knew Zhu Fang's aunt.
Zhu Fang smiled, "My aunt is the director of the Women's Federation in the mine."
"Are you Aunt Zhu's niece?" Xu Nannan said in surprise. Before, she felt that Zhu Fang was a little familiar with her, and it was a bit strange. After all, the first time we met, he took such good care of them, wasn't he too enthusiastic
Now knowing that she is Zhu Liping's niece, she is relieved. Aunt Zhu is also a very warm and kind person.
"Before you came, my aunt said, let's get along well in the future. It happens that we live in the same dormitory."
Zhu Fang didn't make it too clear.
In fact, what her aunt said about Xu Nannan at the beginning was, "Xiaofang, don't say you are pitiful. You are a stepmother. You are still your own parents. You can be content."
Zhu Fang lost her mother at the age of three, and her father found a stepmother the next year. The stepmother also brought a two-year-old daughter. Later a younger brother was born. Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Her father is henpecked, and according to those people from Sichuan Province in the mine, he is an ear-scratcher. So Zhu Fang also had an unhappy life at home. However, she inherited her mother's straightforward temperament, and she has an aunt to protect her, so she has not been short of food and clothing these years. Anyway, if he was wronged at home, he would complain to his aunt.
After knowing about Xu Nannan, she felt a little sympathetic to each other. Seeing Xu Nannan and sister's thin appearance, she immediately believed what her aunt said, that the two children were pitiful.
Knowing that Zhu Fang is Zhu Liping's niece, Xu Nannan's guard was gone. Chatted with her openly.
Zhu Fang was curious about how she could speak Mandarin, so Xu Nannan said that she learned it from an elementary school teacher in the village.
Zhu Fang was convinced, and asked her why she came to the mine.
Everyone in the mine was guessing about this matter, and Zhu Fang was also very curious. Not jealousy. After all, she herself entered the mine early, and she was a regular employee. Being an officer in the mining committee was a decent job.
Of course Xu Nannan didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only play sloppy eyes, "I'm also wondering, I wondered if the mine leader knew about my incident last time, so the mine leader kindly helped."
Zhu Fang rubbed her chin, "My aunt said the same. It seems that those gentlemen in our mine are quite humane." She reached out and patted Xu Nannan on the shoulder, "Xu Nannan, work hard and try to become a full-time worker as soon as possible."
Xu Nannan was stunned for a moment, and immediately became serious, "Officer Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the trust of the organization."
Zhu Fang didn't expect Xu Nannan to be quite humorous, so she laughed cheerfully.
Jiang Lili looked at Zhu Fang and Xu Nannan chatting happily from the window, her mouth crooked.
After eating, Zhu Fang will go to the office to work. Although their work has a break at noon, it is not long, and there are too many things to do, so there is no break at all.
Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman back to the dormitory by himself.
No one will come to the dormitory. It is estimated that people went to work again.
"Sister, shall we just stay here?" Xu Xiaoman looked out the door with bright eyes.
Xu Nannan saw her thoughts immediately, and patted her thigh, "Don't wait, let's go outside and buy some school supplies for Xiaoman by the way. After my sister goes to work, you can do your homework at home."
Xu Xiaoman's eyes lit up, not for the school supplies, but for going out for a stroll as Xu Nannan said earlier.
"Nannan, you sisters are going out." When they arrived at the gate of the mine, Wei Guobing greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Wei." Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman shouted in unison.
Xu Nannan smiled and rolled his eyes, "Uncle Wei, let's go out for a stroll, and we're going to work tomorrow, so I'll get ready first."
"Okay, go early and come back early." Wei Guobing smiled and waved, feeling relieved in his heart. These two sisters are getting better and better. Looking at the backs of the two sisters, Wei Guobing thought of Xu Jiansheng who was on leave today, and he couldn't help thinking that in the future, the father and daughter will see each other without looking up, and he doesn't know what will happen to Director Xu.
Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to the post office first, and bought some stamps. The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, this time it is no joke. But the teller saw that she spent a few dollars to buy stamps for fun, and felt that the adults doted on the children too much.
No one gave the children so much pocket money.
Fortunately, Xu Nannan didn't hear it, otherwise he would vomit a mouthful of blood.
After coming out of the post office, Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to the stationery supply and marketing agency. She also has stationery in her Taobao store, but it is still very different from the products of this era. Paper, for example, is very different. Although Xu Nannan has a Taobao store, he still wants to keep it a little secret, and try to buy everything that can be bought here in this era.
Seeing that she bought a lot, Xu Xiaoman took Xu Nannan's hand and said in a low voice, "Sister, buy less, I'll save some, it's enough."
They have just come to the city and they have nothing. How can you spend money indiscriminately. Looking at the money spent, she began to feel pain.
Xu Nannan looked at her sore face and said with a smile, "It's okay, my sister has a job now, and she will be able to get paid in the future. You can save everything, but not homework."
Xu Xiaoman looked at these books, was silent for a while, and asked, "Sister, can I use them with Xiaoling?"
Xu Nannan was stunned for a moment, knowing in his heart that he and Xiaoman were different after all, Xiaoman was the real Xiaoman, so the sisterhood with Xiaoling was real. And she is a fake, so she was never really brought into this role. When she first bought something, she really didn't come to buy it for Xiaoling first.
This can't work, it's her sister. Xu Nannan smiled and touched her little head, "Of course, we are sisters."
Well, I have two girls. Although Xu Ling insisted that Xu Jiansheng send her to study, she still felt that Xu Jiansheng and his wife were not as reliable as her. There is a long way to go.
"Did you find out, where did that Xu Nannan go, why did he come to our cafeteria?"
Jiang Lili was sitting in the cafeteria, asking a young man.
"No, Lili, let me figure it out, everything has been settled, I just go back and talk to my mother."
"How can I forget it? I managed to do it, but I was cut off by someone. Can I forget it? I don't know who did it, so I just let someone in. Anyway, I am also in the cafeteria The old man doesn't say hello in advance."
The young man touched his head honestly, "My sister doesn't really want to come here either..."
"But what do we do here? We're going to get married. There's only one room in your house. If she doesn't come out, where are we? It's enough to stay in the same room with your parents. She is a big girl, and she is in the same room with her elder brother and sister-in-law. She is ashamed." No?"
Jiang Lili gets annoyed when she thinks about it. She and Zhang Liang were both talking about getting married, and she didn't dislike Zhang Liang's lack of a house, anyway, as long as there was a place to sleep. The point is that Zhang Liang has a registered permanent residence in the city, so she just wants to marry Zhang Liang and live in the city seriously. Originally, I wanted to get Zhang Liang's sister to work in the mine, so that I could live in a dormitory in the future. Everything that was arranged was cut off.
I don't feel happy no matter what.
Zhang Liang was a little afraid of this temperamental object, and asked, "What should I do? I heard that this Xu Nannan is Director Xu's daughter. You also know that Director Xu is in charge of our area. I can't offend her." People."
"Look at how promising you are. What's wrong with his daughter? Now everyone is equal. Besides, I heard that Director Xu and his daughter are not getting along. You have to sell your daughter before. Is Director Xu not at work today?"
"seems like it."
Jiang Lili smiled, "That's right, the father doesn't care about this girl at all. What are you afraid of? I don't believe it, she can stay in this mine forever. When she leaves, let Xiaomei come over .”
Zhang Liang was still a little nervous, "I still don't think it's good. They're all here, and it's quite pitiful..."
"What's wrong with you? You don't want to get married anymore, don't you? If you don't want to get married, tell me as soon as possible. There are many people who want to marry me. Hmph, don't think I don't know. Is that girl of yours having trouble at home again and not wanting to work? She Who do you think she is, Miss Qianjin, how old is she, and she is still supported by the family. Why do you study so many books, I can’t still earn money to support my family without studying. "
Hearing her scolding his sister, Zhang Liang felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say a word. I can only hope that Xu Nannan will be driven away by Jiang Lili. In this way, his sister can stop working in the mine.
Jiang Lili didn't care what Zhang Liang thought, she made up her mind that Xu Nannan couldn't stay here any longer. She's just a temporary worker. If she can't stay any longer, she just leaves. Who will keep her
When Xu Nannan returned to the mine, it was almost dark.
Knowing that I don't have much time to accompany Xiaoman in the future, I had a good time shopping today, and took Xiaoman to eat a meal of fried rice noodles with pork in a restaurant outside.
When I got back to the dormitory, there were already people inside.
Zhu Fang was also inside, folding clothes. Seeing Xu Nannan came back, he greeted with a smile, "Why didn't I see you when I just had dinner. I thought you had already eaten."
"Xiaoman and I went shopping." Xu Nannan led Xiaoman into the dormitory. Secretly looking at another person.
Xu Nannan had met Jiang Lili before, so he knew that this person was not Jiang Lili. It was on the bed next to her, with a student haircut, ordinary facial features, and an a la carte look.
"This is Wu Qing, who also belongs to our dormitory." Zhu Fang stood up and introduced, "Wu Qing, this is Nan Nan, you guys should get along well in the future."
Wu Qing sized up Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman, and then smiled, "Hi, everyone."
Seems like a good one to get along with. Xu Nannan was happy and smiled, "My name is Xu Nannan, and this is my sister Xiaoman."
Zhu Fang smiled and said, "You are about the same age, I remember Wu Qing is only sixteen."
Wu Qing nodded. Then asked Xu Nannan, "Where do you work?"
"I work as a temporary worker in the canteen." Xu Nannan said generously.
When Wu Qing heard this, she smiled more sincerely. "I work in the production department of the mine as an apprentice. There will be a chance to become a regular worker in the future."
The production department seems to be managed by Xu Jiansheng.
Xu Nannan nodded. Laughing, "That's pretty good."
The three of them made an appointment to get some hot water and came back, washed up casually, and got ready to go to bed. Jiang Lili didn't come back until she was on the bed, opened the door, and deliberately looked in Xu Nannan's direction with a bit of disdain in her eyes. She jingled the basin on purpose.
Zhu Fang was braiding her hair when she heard the sound and frowned at her, "What's the matter, it's not too noisy in the middle of the night."
"Who let so many people live, it's not normal if they don't make noise." Jiang Lili said with her mouth crooked. Staring at Xu Nannan's bed, it was obviously aimed at Xu Nannan.
Xu Xiaoman was a little scared, Xu Nannan hugged her and turned around, not looking at Jiang Lili. She is not afraid of Jiang Lili, but she doesn't want to cause trouble as soon as she comes. No one named them by name. If she made trouble, it would be her fault.
Zhu Fang couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up and stomped her feet, "Go to the logistics department if you think it's noisy, don't make trouble in the dormitory, if you don't sleep, others will sleep."
Jiang Lili knew that Zhu Fang's aunt was the director of the Women's Federation, so she didn't want to quarrel with her. Seeing that Xu Nannan didn't respond, he felt a little annoyed. Seeing that Wu Qing was about to go to bed, she kicked the basin, "Where's the hot water, why didn't you turn on the hot water?"
Wu Qing paused, pursed her lips and got up to pour hot water for her.
Seeing this, Zhu Fang hated iron for being weak, but she didn't say anything more. Just defending sister Xu Nannan, one is because of her aunt's instructions, and the other is because Jiang Lili's behavior just now disturbed the entire dormitory. Now she is only targeting Wu Qing, so there is no need for her to speak up.
The canteen works earlier than other departments. When Xu Nannan reported, the logistics department also specifically told her.
It was only after four o'clock, and Xu Nannan got up from the bed secretly.
He put on his clothes lightly, took the toiletries and went outside to wash up. Only halfway through washing, Jiang Lili also came out of the room yawning. Seeing Xu Nannan outside, Jiang Lili snorted, "Our mine is a good unit, not all cats and dogs can come here. Don't mess around just because of whose daughter you are."
Now there is no one outside. Hearing what she said, Xu Nannan spit out mouthwash with a smile, wiped his face with a towel, and looked at Jiang Lili, "Who are you, you think you are the mine manager, don't you also work in the cafeteria, what's the matter?" Impressive."
Jiang Lili didn't expect that the local girl who acted like a bun yesterday would dare to refute her, and she gritted her teeth angrily. "Try to say it again."
"What's the matter, I can't say it, but I still want to do it. This is the mine, not a place where cats and dogs mess around. If you want to make trouble, let's try it. Jiang Lili, don't think I'm afraid of you, I'm too lazy to make trouble with you. You If you know that I'm someone's daughter, then you also know that I'm not even afraid of someone, how can I be afraid of you? You want to make trouble in front of my sister again next time, let's wait and see!"
Xu Nannan put down his harsh words and entered the room with a basin. Jiang Lili was left standing by the sink and stomping her feet angrily.
Xu Nannan was not afraid when he heard the voice, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She is not afraid of Jiang Lili at all. In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage. She met everyone and had no one to support her. She could only rely on herself. If she was really afraid, she would have been bullied to death long ago.
She wasn't even afraid of an old goblin like Mrs. Xu, how could she be afraid of Jiang Lili
With the spirit of tidying up, Xu Nannan immediately went to the cafeteria to report with high spirits.
The master chef in the canteen, Master Du, is an uncle with a bald head and a big belly. His belly is too big, his face is full of fat, and he smiles like Maitreya Buddha. Acquaintances call him Master Du.
When he was in the logistics department, Master Du saw Xu Nannan. Seeing her small body, he was a little worried that the child would not be able to work.
Seeing that she came to work early on the first day, he arranged light work for her.
When Jiang Lili came, she saw Xu Nannan choosing vegetables. This dish is to be eaten at noon, so there is no rush. Xu Nannanguang could spend a whole morning doing this.
"Master Du, everyone is busy this morning, so some people don't have to work."
Master Du looked around carefully, "Who is it? Who is not working? Aren't they all doing it?"
"Just eat those dishes at noon, and I'm not in a hurry. I don't need anyone to order food later." Jiang Lili raised her chin towards Xu Nannan.
She just couldn't understand the temporary worker sitting there choosing vegetables.
Everyone else is standing all morning, why can she sit like a temporary worker.
Master Du was a little upset when he heard that Jiang Lili almost had to name her. But he has always had a good temper, and he doesn't want to argue with a young girl. "Nan Nan is still young, let her get used to it first. Didn't you get used to it for a while when you came here?" At that time, let alone choosing vegetables, the girl didn't even move her fingers.
This is also one of the reasons why Master Du is not optimistic about Xu Nannan. The people introduced by the leaders are generally not people who work.
"Master Du, don't just flatter her just because she is the leader's daughter. This is a violation of the rules in the mine. Ask everyone if it's okay for her to sit?"
At the end of this point, Xu Nannan put down the dishes in his hand, stood up and said, "Master Du, please arrange other things for me. I can work."
Look at what a nice girl, sensible. Master Du was moved, and felt that Xu Nannan was not embarrassing him, so he took the initiative to take on the matter.
It seems that the people arranged by the leadership are still different.
Seeing that Xu Nannan finally stood up to work as she told her, Jiang Lili felt a little happy, and when she was about to speak, she heard Master Du say, "Nannan, when I steam the steamed buns later, follow along and I will teach you."
"Okay." Xu Nannan replied crisply. Although she came to the cafeteria as a formality to fool around, she wouldn't really fool around. Since Li Chengwen arranged the work for her, she will do it well and will never embarrass others.
Hearing that Master Du was going to teach Xu Nannan himself, Jiang Lili's complacent heart suddenly felt as if she had eaten a fly.
Master Du is the head of the canteen, and his craftsmanship is beyond words. Even making buns are better than those in restaurants outside.
Jiang Lili has always wanted to learn a hand, but Master Du never taught her, and now he even teaches a temporary worker. Although it was just making buns, it actually slapped her in the face!
Here Jiang Lili was angry, while Xu Nannan had already started making steamed buns with Master Du.
It is said to be steamed buns, but in fact there is no filling.
While making buns and steamed buns, Master Du explained to Xu Nannan. "Don't think it's easy to pinch buns, you have to pinch them to be the same size, and they have to be neat in shape, or else you'll have to worry about whether you get a good one or a bad one."
Master Du pinched a few, and Xu Nannan pinched it. It was incredible. Xu Nannan has pinched a dozen of them, and they are quite neat.
"Have you learned it before?"
Xu Nannan smiled and said, "I just watched you pinch it, so I pinched it accordingly." No wonder... she had worked countless part-time jobs in her previous life. The longest time was working in a steamed stuffed bun shop in the school cafeteria. At that time, she had to go to class and knead buns, so she naturally developed this hand.
"Not bad, not bad," Master Du nodded excitedly. I think I found a good seedling. To work in the cafeteria, you must be quick in your hands and feet, and you must be smart.
Don't think that cats and dogs can come to the cafeteria. Master Du glanced at Jiang Lili who was chatting with someone.
