Lin Qian had no impression of this restaurant.
In the past, he would never eat in such a dirty and messy restaurant.
He didn't like it.
Therefore, he naturally did not notice.
It turned out that there was a silly girl working hard in the shop.
Even Chen Xiyu's back was captured by Lin Qian with a single glance.
In a small restaurant that was less than 20 square meters. There were a few tables and chairs, and there were two or three customers. The big pot at the door was emitting a strong pot gas.
Chen Xiyu was wearing a thin black sweater with sleeves rolled up. She wore school pants and tied her hair into two ponytails.
At this moment, she was wiping the leftovers on the table.
He swept all the food into the trash can, then stacked the plates together. After cleaning the table, he worked hard to bring the plates into the kitchen.
She watched as Chen Xiyu disappeared from her sight.
Lin Qian subconsciously glanced at the kitchen.
In the cold wind, Yang Po was freezing.
"Brother Qian, why don't we go in and eat something?”
Lin Qian shook his head and said,"Let's see."”
Yang Po said helplessly,"
"Sister-in-law Xi Yu probably went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. We won't be able to see her for a while.”
"I happened to go out for a smoke that day, so I saw it," Yang Po explained.”
"Then let's go to the kitchen and take a look."
Lin Qian walked to the entrance of the store.
He noticed that there was a notice on the blackened door that announced the transfer of the shop.
He glanced at it and walked into the alley.
The alley was very dirty.
There was a thick smell of oil and smoke. The bluestone floor was dark and sticky. The dilapidated and smelly ditches on both sides emitted a stench.
Lin Qian frowned as he walked into the depths of the alley.
The sound of plates colliding could be heard.
Lin Qian did not move forward.
In the dark, he saw Chen Xiyu squatting at the door of the kitchen. There were three huge basins in front of him with water pipes in them.
She washed the cutlery in front of her with all her might.
He completely ignored his hands that were frozen by the cold water and the pungent smell of soap.
In order not to dirty her school uniform, Chen Xiyu only wore a pilling sweater. In such a cold environment, it was no different from throwing a person into the refrigerator to freeze.
Her face was pale, but her nose was red.
However, Chen Xiyu's hands did not slow down at all. After washing it with dishwashing liquid, she soaked it in water and finally placed it on the shelf.
"Xi Yu, here are your gloves!"
An old man walked out and said with heartache,
"The weather is too cold. Put on your gloves and come in to wash!”
"It's okay, Grandma Wang. I'll be done soon.”
Chen Xiyu smiled and shook her head.
"This child, come here. This is your salary.”
The old man took out a 20-yuan note and handed it to Chen Xiyu. Then, he took out another 10-yuan note."This is considered overtime pay."
"Grandma Wang, no…No need. I'll get paid for the effort I put in.”
"Aiyo, silly child, we don't have many days left. You're different, Xi Yu. You'll be a university student in the future and have a bright future.”
The old man forcefully placed the money in Chen Xiyu's hands.
"Xiyu, I'm sorry. You have to find an easier job in a few days, understand?”
Chen Xiyu nodded." I understand. Thank you, Grandma Wang."”
Chen Xiyu held the money and carefully put it into her bag. She had earned ten more yuan today!
After washing all the plates.
Chen Xiyu put on her school uniform and left the store with two large garbage bags.
It was already nine o'clock at night.
"This silly girl, don't you want to eat?”
Lin Qian muttered to himself.
" I should have eaten," Yang Po said." I ate when I came to the shop and then continued working."”
Lin Qian did not say anything and walked out of the alley.
Chen Xiyu threw two garbage bags into the trash can.
She did not leave immediately.
Instead, he squatted on the ground, waiting for something.
Not long after, a stray cat walked out of the trash can. It looked pregnant.
Chen Xiyu took out a few large pieces of fish meat from her bag and placed them on the ground.
As he stroked the cat, he said,"Da Bai, hurry up and eat. You're lucky today. You can eat fish!”
The cat wagged its tail as it wolfed down the food.
"Da Bai, where are you going to place your child after he's born?”Chen Xiyu muttered.
"You have to take good care of your child, okay?”Chen Xi said with a smile.
When the cat finished eating the fish and licked its face, Chen Xiyu patted his knees and stood up.
She did not return to school.
Instead, he came to where Lin Qian and Yang Po were…
At this moment, the two of them were smoking beside a pillar in a convenience store.
"We've been discovered?"
Lin Qian subconsciously dodged.
Yang Po did not dare to make a sound and hid at the side secretly.
"Brother Qian, why are we hiding?”
Lin Qian made a shushing gesture.
Chen Xiyu went to the shop and took out a coin from his pocket. He placed it on the table."Boss, let me make a call."
"It's Xi Yu, call him."
"Alright."
Chen Xiyu dialed the number skillfully and waited for about a minute.
The call finally went through.
"Hello, Grandma, it's Xi Yu.”
"Yeah, I'm done with school. I went to eat a lot of delicious food with my classmates just now. Don't worry.”
"Yes, I still have the money. The school has a scholarship. Don't worry, Grandma. I'll go back after the winter vacation. The weather is cold, so you have to keep warm!”
"Okay, okay. Grandma, you have to take care of yourself too. You're not allowed to sneak out to play mahjong anymore. Alright, I'm too full. I'm going for a walk.”
The moment before he hung up.
An unprecedented smile bloomed on Chen Xiyu's face.
It was a smile that Lin Qian had never seen before.
It was beautiful, like a tulip.
