Chapter 4 She Wasn't a Good Temper
The eldest sister at the newspaper booth was wearing a short red camel velvet jacket and a white fur collar on her neck. Seeing Hao Caiyun parked her bicycle in front of the door, she stood up from the stool with a smile.
"Xiao Hao, are you here? Today I am here to post a small advertisement again?!"
The eldest sister's surname is Feng, and she is only two years older than Hao Caiyun. She is thin and has a yellow face.
On the newspaper booth display page on the left side of Sister Feng, there is a grid that contains a stack of seeds, just like the one posted on the telephone pole.
These were taken by Hao Caiyun before and were sent to the newspaper booth, which could be regarded as an advertising space.
Every time Hao Caiyun comes, he will bring some delicious food to Sister Feng. Sometimes it is meat and vegetables stewed by himself, sometimes it is various fruits, and sometimes it is a piece of clothing or a scarf.
Hao Caiyun held the bicycle handle with both hands and smiled.
"Sister Feng, I'm not here to post advertisements today, but to pick up my niece. You said this child suddenly called me and said that he was alone in Beijing. It's so worrying for a young man."
Sister Feng glanced at the little girl standing on the other side of the newspaper booth and winked at Hao Caiyun.
Hao Caiyun looked over with his eyes and saw the little girl wearing a blue velvet sweatshirt looking at him.
The two of them looked at each other, both stunned.
In the past eight years, each of them has changed a lot. Of course, Hao Caiyun's body has become much bloated, and a few traces of time have been added to her face.
Wu Min has a ponytail on her head, and she is no longer a young little brat. She is full of youthfulness and has delicate and fair facial features.
Hao Caiyun spoke tentatively: "Xiao Min?"
Wu Min's mouth sagged and her eyes immediately turned red. In Sister Feng's surprised gaze, she ran and bumped into Hao Caiyun's arms.
The bicycle was knocked down, and Sister Feng in the newspaper booth shouted and immediately ran out to help Hao Caiyun help the car up.
Hao Caiyun gently patted Wu Min's back and comforted her. "Xiao Min, what's wrong with you? Why are you wronged? Come and tell the aunt."
It would be fine if Hao Caiyun didn't say it, but when he said it, Wu Min started to cry loudly.
Some people around who were pulling suitcases or carrying bags to enter the passenger station were looking at this side.
With the successive comfort of Hao Caiyun and Sister Feng, Wu Min stopped crying.
After asking in detail, Wu Min confessed that she ran out because she didn't want to go to school and had a fight with her family.
I was wearing a velvet sweatshirt and jeans, and I didn’t even have a backpack. I was so hungry and cold that I felt so aggrieved that I wanted to cry.
Hao Caiyun saw a tricycle with a pancake stall coming, so he stopped the pancake stall and bought Wu Min a pancake. Not only did he add eggs, but he also added a piece of chicken fillet.
Hao Caiyun and Wu Min filled her stomach, said goodbye to Sister Feng, and took Wu Min all the way back to the auto repair shop on a bicycle.
On the way, Hao Caiyun educated Wu Min.
Every child has a period of rebellious period and does not want to study and fight against parents. At this time, beating and scolding is useless, so you must communicate with your children patiently.
Of course, it was too late for Hao Caiyun to understand this truth.
Hao Caiyun could only advise his niece: if you don’t suffer from the hardships of study, you have to suffer from the hardships of life.
Wu Min had poor grades at the beginning and went to a vocational high school. The major he studied first was computer science, but later I heard that he changed to a management major.
Now, I just want to drop out of school. The key is that I graduate in half a year, isn’t this a big deal?
"Xiao Min, look at my hands either cut or burn, and there is also the problem of peeling that has been soaked in the kitchen over time. Look at my rough hands, and then look at your tender hands. If you drop out of school, how do you rely on to support yourself?"
"Uneducated people do hard work. This is much more tiring than reading and writing. Many times, I am so tired that I want to lie on the bed and stay still. You said that if I study a major, get a diploma, and find a job sitting in the office. Then, do I still use those who get up early and go to bed late to cook for dozens of people?"
As he spoke, the bicycle passed under the Fengyi Bridge.
The distance between nearly three stops to the north of Fengyi Bridge, due to the need to be demolished and renovated in recent years, almost all of them are piles of ruins. The scene looks worse than the environment in the county town of our hometown.
Hao Caiyun heard Wu Min muttering on the back seat of the bicycle: "What a broken place, it's still big in Beijing..."
Collected, the words she had just persuaded her niece were not heard at all.
Hao Caiyun rode his bicycle under his feet and turned into the alley of the repair shop. "There is a house demolishing now, and it will be time to build a high-rise building. If you are playing here for a few days, you will hurry back and prepare for school."
Then he reminded him: "I will go to the kitchen to prepare dishes and cook later, and I will have no time to take care of you. Don't come out by yourself after dark. There is no street light around here at night. There is a little girl in the factory who was snatched her bag when she got off work."
As he spoke, Hao Caiyun entered the door of the repair shop and greeted the guard sitting at the door scratching his head.
The bicycle was parked next to a cement house in the northwest corner of the repair shop. This is Hao Caiyun's residence in the repair shop. The light green iron door was covered with rust iron sheets. The cement wall next to the iron door was written in white chalk: "Shop".
Hao Caiyun pressed the snap buckle from the waist of his pants, took out a string of slam keys, and opened the black copper lock on the iron door.
"Xiao Min, go in and rest for a while. Eat whatever you want on the shelves in the house. If it feels cold, open the electric mattress and lie in the quilt for a while. I'll go to the kitchen first and come back later to get you food."
When Hao Caiyun said these words, Wu Min kept looking up and down at the hut less than 20 square meters.
Hao Caiyun didn't care whether she heard it or not, and hung the key on her waistline again and walked towards the kitchen eagerly.
Because she was delayed in picking up Wu Min, she didn't buy the ingredients for dinner, so she wanted to see what stocks in the refrigerator can be used.
If she cannot guarantee that she will start her meal on time, she will be deducted from her salary.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Hao Caiyun looked up at a round white clock hanging on the wall of the outer cafeteria. It was already 4:05 pm.
Dinner starts at half past five, so there is not much time left for her to prepare.
Wang Fang was sitting on the stool beside the kitchen sink, leaning against the refrigerator, playing with Tetris.
When Hao Caiyun entered the door, Wang Fang didn't even raise her eyelids.
Hao Caiyun took off a white apron from the wall and put it in her neck. While holding her hands behind her back, she walked towards the refrigerator.
"Wang Fang, you sit in another place, I'm going to start cooking."
When Wang Fang heard Hao Caiyun call her name, she finally raised her head. "You cook and cook yours, I'll sit here, what's wrong with you."
On weekdays, Hao Caiyun and Wang Fang are not in the process.
Because Wang Fang had been in the repair shop longer than Hao Caiyun, she naturally felt that Hao Caiyun should flatter her. At the same time, she was not convinced that Hao Caiyun made the master cooking chef as soon as she came, and compared her to her, so she could only do miscellaneous work.
Wang Fang went to the boss more than once to complain about Hao Caiyun. What was wasted ingredients, what was too salty to cook, what was too much for employees to cook...
Hao Caiyun had always ignored Wang Fang before, so she ignored her. Everyone did their own work. If Wang Fang had the ability, just squeeze her away! The boss didn't fire her for a day, and she would take the spoon in the kitchen, angering Wang Fang to death.
Hao Caiyun is in a bad mood today, and the cooking time is still so tight. She has never been a good-tempered person, let alone Wang Fang looks like she deserves a beating.
Hao Caiyun reached out and grabbed the clothes on Wang Fang's shoulder and pulled the person up. "This is what you asked for."
Wang Fang's weight should be about the same as the owner of the newspaper booth, and she is as thin as a monkey.
Hao Caiyun usually pulls the arms of the spoon, and it is not easy to pull it off. Even the beam embedded in the wardrobe was easily pulled off.
