Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 36

Views:

Xu Nannan never felt that working was a disadvantage. A little more dry than others, at most there will be less meat. The rewards that can be obtained are definitely more than not working.

For example, when she was working in the bun shop, she was more diligent than others, so she kneaded more buns than others, and her skills improved rapidly. When she left, the boss gave her a wage increase and refused to let her leave.

For example, now that Master Du saw her skills, he decided to let Xu Nannan become an apprentice with him, and train him in the direction of a chef in the future to be the next generation successor of the big canteen.

Master Du is an old man in the cafeteria. Apart from the director of the logistics department, he is the number one person in the cafeteria. He fell in love with Xu Nannan, a little assistant, and no one would compete with her.

Moreover, Xu Nannan performed really well, with quick hands and feet and a sweet mouth. After finishing his own work, he rushed to work with others, and had no intention of being lazy at all. Everyone likes such a colleague.

In just one morning, the other old people in the cafeteria were very satisfied with Xu Nannan.

And he was also a young man, compared with Jiang Lili, Xu Nannan couldn't make a mistake.

The workers in the mine started to have breakfast.

Xu Nannan took the porridge with everyone. Proud of Mrs. Xu's precepts and deeds, Xu Nannan is also very good at making porridge now. If you scoop it inside, it will be dry, and if you scoop it up, it will be rare. Stir the spoon up and down from time to time, just right.

Xu Nannan didn't know anyone, so he stirred it with a big spoon from time to time, and everyone got the same amount.

Master Du looked at it and thought the child was very smart. Unlike Jiang Lili, she was clever when she arrived, but she was not on the right track. If it is for the leader, it will be done, and if it is for other workers, it will be hard. As a result, the workers didn't have enough to eat, and ran up to the leader to make trouble, and the leader was ashamed.

Don't even think about it, the workers in other mines have to work hard. The porridge is so thin, can you be hungry? If the leader works in the office, he still cares about your dry porridge. If other people see it, he will have to speak ill of the leader behind his back.

Who likes to be ashamed over a little porridge.

But even knowing that Jiang Lili didn't do a good job, no one can say anything. Who made her uncle die in an accident at the mine. Let her niece come to do the job. For her uncle's sake, no one can say anything about her.

More and more people come to the cafeteria to eat porridge. Even those who live in the staff housing came to have a big dinner. Cooking breakfast needs to light the stove, which is troublesome early in the morning. It is better to go to the canteen on the mine to buy it. Anyway, it's not expensive, and the quantity is still a lot.

Li Jing carried the basin and followed the woman inside. I thought about making a few more steamed buns today, but unfortunately there are no meat buns today, or I would make one for my two nephews, so they can go to school after eating.

Now that her nephew and niece's household registrations are separated from hers, she feels even closer to these children. She planned to transfer her two nephews out first, and let them share the same household registration book with herself and Lao Xu after the matter of her conversion from farming to non-farming was completed. As for Honghong and Meizi, we have to see how they perform.

"Li Jing, your daughter is also in the cafeteria today, let's go to her window later and see if we can make more arrangements." A middle-aged man next to Li Jing. Her husband is the team leader of the mine, so he is under Xu Jiansheng's management. I usually get close to Li Jing.

Hearing this person talk about Xu Nannan, Li Jing lost her good mood. How could she have forgotten that the troublemaker is working in the cafeteria now. To do this kind of thing of serving people is to serve people's life by nature. In her heart, she directly sent the words that Mrs. Xu often scolded her to Xu Nannan.

Although she was extremely disgusted in her heart, Li Jing didn't want people to see their family's jokes, so she said, "This is not acceptable, our old Xu definitely disagrees. I told me yesterday, I can't just let my daughter work here. They use their power for personal gain. The cancer of capitalism cannot grow."

Once this woman heard what Xu Jiansheng said was so serious, she didn't dare to really take Xu Nannan's favor. "Li Jing, you and Director Xu are really selfless and considerate of your children. Unlike some people, whose family has relatives working in the cafeteria, I wish the whole family could take advantage of it."

Li Jing smiled faintly, "Who made us all parents, so we can lead by example. Only in this way can we teach good children. Look at our family, Honghong and Meizi, who are always praised by teachers in school. "

"No wonder our old Zhang always asks me to learn from you. In the future, he will teach us and our children well. Our children are getting skinnier." The woman said with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed, and found a window far away from Xu Nannan's location to make porridge. Unfortunately, it happened to be Jiang Lili's window.

Jiang Lili knew Li Jing. She knew that Xu Nannan was at odds with her family, but no matter what, Xu Nannan was born to Li Jing. Naturally, the anger was transferred to Li Jing. When making porridge, I took a scoop of clear water from the top, and it was white, like rice soup.

Li Jing froze immediately, looked at the clear soup in the bowl, pointed to Jiang Lili and said, "You comrade, what's going on, is this porridge?"

Jiang Lili glanced, "Is it porridge, you don't have eyes."

Seeing her attitude, Li Jing immediately lost her temper. Except for being angry in front of Mrs. Xu in her life, no one has dared to treat her like this, "I can count how many meters here, aren't you deliberately targeting people?"

"It's aimed at you, what's wrong. Who told you that you can't teach a good girl."

Jiang Lili said the latter sentence softly, only Li Jing and the woman beside her could hear it.

Hearing this, Li Jing knew that she was being implicated.

And the person who hurt her was Xu Nannan.

This damn girl!

Li Jing squeezed the bowl in her hand tightly, intending to quarrel with Jiang Lili, but she didn't want to damage her image.

The woman next to her knew Jiang Lili's virtue, and persuaded, "Forget it, let's go, I can't understand the reason with this kind of person."

Jiang Lili raised her neck, extremely arrogant.

Even the people around who didn't understand the situation knew that Li Jing was being embarrassed.

But no one wanted to meddle in their own business. Jiang Lili's uncle had a good relationship with the mine's leaders. After the accident, Jiang Lili came to replace her. Whoever said that Jiang Lili was not good, the whole mine would know if she could cause trouble.

Li Jing suffered a terrible loss and swallowed a big breath. When she left with the bowl and chopsticks, she stared fiercely at Xu Nannan, who was busy and in full swing.

This scourge must be removed as soon as possible!

When he returned home with food and drink, Xu Jiansheng was already up and washing up. The other children were all waiting to eat.

Li Jing put the rice bowl and bowl on the table, and sat by the table to wipe away tears. His eyes were red, and he looked very aggrieved.

When Xu Meizi saw it, he understood immediately, and shouted, "Uncle, auntie is crying."

Xu Jiansheng quickly came in from the outside.

While wiping her face with a towel, she looked at Li Jing, and saw that her eyes were red and tears flowed out, and her heart softened, "What's wrong, why did you come back crying after going out, who bullied you?" ?”

"Who else can it be? It's not all Nannan's girl. She has a bad temper and offended people outside, causing me to be made things difficult. She was bullied by a girl at a young age. I don't want to lose face today. Throw it away."

"What, Nan Nan is bullying my aunt again." Xu Hong yelled from the side, "How can she do this? She bullies grandma at home, but bullies my aunt when she comes to the city. This is too heartless. This is the first God, what can we do in the future."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Jiansheng worriedly, "When she was at home, both my grandma and my mother's constitutions were broken. Don't come here to harm uncle."

Li Jing cried louder, "I should have known earlier, that girl is not a good person."

He hurt her since she was a child, and didn't forgive her when she grew up. And followed into the city to harm her mother.

She must have owed this damn girl in her previous life. What a crime.

Xu Jiansheng pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. I wonder if this big girl is really as provocative as my daughter-in-law and mother said.

It's too bad to offend people just after coming to the mine. He and Li Jing have been in the mine for so many years, and they have never blushed with others.

"How about I talk to her and tell her not to offend anyone in the future. It's not good to stay here all the time in the future."

Li Jing wiped away her tears and said in a sharp voice, "Is it useful for you to say it? How many times have you said it before? Did she listen? I think she is muddy and can't support the wall. Her temperament is not suitable for this." In the city, it’s better to work hard in the countryside and farm the land honestly. Maybe you can live a smooth life to old age. Outside, you might mess with someone.”

Xu Jiansheng frowned and said nothing. The eldest daughter really can't control it now.

"Jiansheng, you have to make up your mind about this matter and let this girl go back to her hometown. Anyway, she is a temporary worker, so it's easy to leave. Let her go back. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, our family will suffer. You don't do it for yourself. Think about it, think about these children, think about your mother. Now the income of the family is not as good as before, and the whole family depends on you."

Li Jing spoke earnestly.

"But the mine only recruited her here, and now they have taken her away. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain." Xu Jiansheng still hesitated. He has lived in the city for so many years, of course he knows that life in the city is better than that in the countryside. Working in a mine is better than farming in the countryside. Anyway, that's his daughter too.

Xu Meizi moved her lips, and said, "If uncle is reluctant to part with this job, why don't you let my mother come over, anyway, we are a family, and my mother will work in the cafeteria and give the wages to the uncle, and the food will be distributed. By subsidizing the family, the uncle and the uncle's mother will be able to reduce the burden in the future."

Li Jing heard this and looked at Xu Meizi.

Xu Meizi pursed her lips and smiled, "That's all I said. After all, Uncle and Uncle Niang usually take care of us too hard. I also feel uncomfortable in my heart. I always want to come out to work early and lighten your burden. But I don't want to give up halfway, hoping to get out of college in the future, and become a cadre in the future, and I will make you look good. After all, everyone knows that we are the children educated by the uncle and the uncle."

Hearing Xu Meizi's words, Li Jing's anxiety disappeared. When she heard Liu Qiao was asked to come to the city just now, she thought that the child wanted her mother to come. Now that this is the case, I feel at ease.

And what Xu Meizi said was right, as long as Liu Qiao came to the city, relying on them at that time, the wages and food would naturally be handed over to their family. If it was in the past, the old lady would definitely not agree to let him go, but if it was to change Nan Nan's job, the old lady would definitely be happy. When the time comes, the burden will be lightened, and the troublemakers will be taken away.

She took Xu Jiansheng's arm, "Jiansheng, I think it's okay. After all, Nannan is a child, and the work in the cafeteria is not easy. I heard that she has to get up at three or four o'clock every day. When a child is growing up , this is not possible. There are many people in the mine, and she has not yet decided her temper, so she might as well go to the countryside. Xu Gensheng takes good care of her, so I think this will work. And if she gives the job to Liu Qiao, we will work together in the future Say something nice to her in front of Mom, maybe you can come back to our house."

Xu Jiansheng frowned, lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was deep in thought.

Xu Ling held a cornmeal steamed bun in her hand, and ate it in small bites. She walked out slowly with her calves, and ran away with her feet kicked out of the door.
