Xu Nannan never felt that working was a disadvantage. If she does a little bit more than others, at most there will be less competition. The rewards are definitely more than not working at all.
For example, when she was working at a bun shop, she was more diligent than others, so she squeezed more buns than others, and her craftsmanship improved quickly. When she left the shop, the boss gave her ultimatum of life or death and refused to let her go.
For example, now that Master Du saw her craftsmanship, he decided to let Xu Nannan follow him as an apprentice, and later train in the direction of a head chef to be the next generation successor of the big canteen.
Master Du is an old man in the canteen, and besides the director of the logistics department, he is the number one person in the canteen. He fell in love with Xu Nannan, this little assistant, and no one can rob her.
And Xu Nannan did very well, with quick hands and feet, sweet mouth, and after finishing her work, she still rushed to work with others, and she had no idea of being lazy. Everyone likes such a colleague.
One morning, the other old people in the cafeteria were also very satisfied with Xu Nannan.
Moreover, she was also a young woman. With Jiang Lili as a comparison, Xu Nannan couldn’t make mistakes.
The workers in the mine started to have breakfast.
Xu Nannan was in charge of making porridge with everyone. Prompted by Mrs. Xu’s precepts and deeds, Xu Nannan is now also very good at making porridge. Fishing deep is too many and dry, and fishing in the top is less or thin and too much water. Stir the big spoon up and down from time to time, to make it just right.
Xu Nannan didn’t know anyone, so she stirred it with a big spoon from time to time. And every scoop was the same.
Master Du looked at it and thought the child was very smart. Unlike Jiang Lili, she was also clever when she arrived, but she didn’t put it on the right way. Just give more to the leader, and give less to other workers. As a result, the workers did not have enough food and ran to the leaders to make trouble, and the leaders still made trouble as well.
She doesn’t even think about it, the workers in the mines have to make great efforts. The porridge is so thin, how can you not be hungry? It’s rare for the leader to work in an office for your dry porridge, so that other people in the family can see it, and you have to speak ill of the leader behind their back.
For a bit of porridge can make people loss his/her face, who likes that?
But even knowing that Jiang Lili didn’t do a good job, no one could say anything. After all, her uncle had an accident in the mine at the beginning, and everyone was gone. So he her niece come to work. With her uncle’s face, no one can say anything to her.
More and more people come to the cafeteria to make porridge. Even the people who live in the workers’ housing come to have a big meal. Cooking breakfast requires a stove. If you have trouble cooking food early in the morning, you might as well buy it in the cafeteria at the mine. It’s not expensive anyway, and the quantity is still a lot.
Li Jing held the basin and followed a woman into a line. She thought she could make a few more steamed buns today, but unfortunately there are no meat buns today. Otherwise, she would make one for her two nephews, and the two would eat well for school.
Now that her nephews and nieces have separate accounts from their parents, she feels even more dear to these children. She was planning to wait for her to transfer her two nephews out, so that they could share an account book with her and Lao Xu. As for Hong Hong and Meizi, we have to see how they perform.
“Li Jing, your girl is in the cafeteria today. Later, let’s go to her window to see if we can get more.” A middle-aged person said next to Li Jing. Her man is the leader of the mine team, and he is considered to be in charge of Xu Jiansheng. Usually she and Li Jing also get close.
When this person talked about Xu Nannan, Li Jing’s good mood disappeared. Why did she forget that the troublemaker is now working in the cafeteria? To do this kind of serving people is to be born to serve people’s lives. In her heart, she sent the words that Old Lady Xu often scolded her directly to Xu Nannan.
Although she feels terribly resentful in her heart, Li Jing also doesn’t want people to look at their jokes and embarrass them, “This is not good, Both me and Jiansheng definitely disagree. Yesterday he told me, you can’t just let the girl work here. They use power for personal gain. They cannot grow the cancer of capitalism.”
When this woman heard Xu Jiansheng’s words so seriously, she didn’t dare to really touch Xu Nannan’s light. “Li Jing, you and Director Xu are really selfless, and you are thinking about your children. Unlike some people, who have relatives working in the cafeteria, and couldn’t wait for everyone to take advantage of them.”
Li Jing smiled faintly, “They made us all parents to lead by example. Only in this way can we teach good children. Look at our family Honghong and Meizi, they are always praised by teachers in school. “
“It’s no wonder that our veteran Zhang asked me to study with you. In the future, we must teach ourself to teach our children, and the children in our family are better than ourself.” The woman laughed.
The two of them talked and laughed, and found a window away from Xu Nannan’s station to get 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, her anger fell on Li Jing. When she was making porridge, she froze a scoop of clear water from the top, it was white and rice soup.
Li Jing was stunned, looking at the clear soup in the bowl, and pointing at Jiang Lili, “Comrade, what’s going on, is this still porridge?”
Jiang Lili glanced at it, “It is porridge. Can’t you see?”
Seeing her attitude, Li Jing suddenly stopped fighting. In her life, apart from being angry in front of Mrs. Xu, no one dared to treat her like this, “How many meters are there, I can count them all. Didn’t you deliberately target people?”
“It’s just for you, what’s wrong.? You can’t even teach your daughter.”
Jiang Lili said the latter sentence softly, so that only Li Jing can hear it while the woman next to her couldn’t hear it.
Hearing this, Li Jing knew that she was being scheme by others.
And this person who hurt her was Xu Nannan.
Damn girl!
Li Jing squeezed the bowl in her hand and quarreled with Jiang Lili intentionally, without wanting to destroy her own image.
The woman next to her knew Jiang Lili’s virtues and persuaded, “Forget it, let’s go, it’s not good to be this kind of person.”
Jiang Lili raised her neck, very arrogantly.
Even those who didn’t figure out the situation next to her knew that Li Jing was embarrassed by others.
But no one thought of nosy. Jiang Lili and her uncle had a good relationship with the leader of the mine. After the accident, it was Jiang Lili who came to replace him. Whoever said Jiang Lili was not good, the whole mine knew that she could make trouble.
Li Jing ate a sullen loss, she swallowed a big breath, and when she left with the dishes, she stared at the busy Xu Nannan who was in full swing.
This scourge must be taken away soon!
When she returned home with food and drink, Xu Jiansheng was already up and was washing himself. The other children are waiting to eat.
Li Jing put the rice bowl on the table, then sat at the table and wiped her tears. Her eyes were red, and she looked very aggrieved.
When Xu Meizi saw it, she immediately understood her heart and shouted, “Uncle, Auntie is crying?”
Xu Jiansheng soon came in from outside.
Holding a towel while wiping her face, he looked at Li Jing, and he saw that her eyes were red and tears were flowing out, and his heart softened, “What’s wrong? You cried when I went out. Who is bullying you?”
“Who else can it be than that girl Nannan? She has a bad temper and offends people outside, making it difficult for me. She was bullied by a girl at an age, and I have no face today. Lost it clean.”
“Huh, Erya bullied the auntie again?” Xu Hong yelled beside him, “How could she be like this, bullying grandma at home, and bullying the auntie in the city? This is too unconscionable. Oh my god, what can I do in the future?”
After finishing talking, he looked at Xu Jiansheng worriedly, “When she was at home, my grandma and my mother were all broken, so she shouldn’t hurt uncle and auntie by coming here.”
Li Jing cried more loudly, “I should have known it a long time ago, that girl is not a good thing.”
She has harmed her since she was a child, and will not forgive her when she grows up. Then came to the city to harm her as a mother.
It was impossible for her to owe this dead girl in her last life. What a crime.
Xu Jiansheng pursed his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He wonders if this eldest girl is really like her wife and mother said, she can be too provocative.
She just came to the mine to offend people? This brat is too bad. He and Li Jing have been in the mine for so many years, and they have never argued with others.
“Or I will go to her and tell her not to offend people in the future. She will stay here a lot in the future, which is not good.”
Li Jing wiped her tears and said sharply, “You go tell her it’s useless, how many times have you said it before, had she listened? I think she can’t support herself. The job is not suitable for her temperament. In the city, you need good temperament, while for her current temperament, it is better to work well in the countryside and farm the land honestly. Maybe you can live smoothly until you grow old. Outside, you may be provoking someone.”
Xu Jiansheng frowned and said nothing. The eldest girl is indeed out of control 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 and it is easy to leave. Let her go back. Otherwise, she will cause trouble in the future and our family will suffer. You’re not doing this for yourself. Consider, think about these children, think about their mothers. Now the family income is not as good as before, and the whole family depends on you.”
Li Jing said bitterly.
“But the mine only recruited her, and now she’s taken away again, for fear that won’t be easy to explain.” Xu Jiansheng still hesitated. He has lived in the city for so many years, and of course he knows that life in the city is better than in the country. Working in a mine is better than farming in the country. No matter what, it was his daughter.
Xu Meizi moved her lips and said, “If the uncle is reluctant to work, let my mother come over. Anyway, it will be a family. Then my mother will work in the cafeteria and give uncle, her wages. By subsidizing the family, both the uncle and my mother can alleviate the burden of the family in the future.”
Li Jing heard this and looked at Xu Meizi.
Xu Meizi pursed her lips and smiled, “I just said that. After all, it is too hard for the uncle and the auntie to raise us. I also feel uncomfortable in my heart. I always want to get out of school early and relieve you of the burden. But I don’t want to give up halfway, hoping to get out of college and become a cadre in the future, and give you a face. After all, everyone knows that we are the children educated by the uncle and auntie.”
Hearing Xu Meizi’s words, Li Jing’s response was gone. Just when she heard that Liu Qiao came to the city, she thought the child wanted her mother to come. Now when she heard that this was the case, she felt relieved.
And Xu Meizi was right. As long as Liu Qiao came to the city, and rely on them when the time comes, the wages and food will naturally be handed over to their homes. If it was in the past, the old lady would definitely not agree to let go, but if it were to change Nannan’s job, the old lady would definitely be happy. When the time comes, the burden will be reduced, and the troublemaker will be taken away.
She took Xu Jiansheng by the arm and said, “Jiansheng, I think this thing is okay. Nannan is a child after all, and working in the cafeteria is not easy. I heard that you have to get up at three or four o’clock am every day, when a child is just growing up. This is not okay. There are many people in the mine and her temperament is still undecided, so she might as well go to the countryside. Xu Gensheng takes care of her, I think this will work. And if she gives this job to Liu Qiao, we will be alright in the future. It’s good to say something nice about her in front of mom, and maybe she can come back to our house.”
Xu Jiansheng frowned, lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking.
Xu Ling held a cornmeal bun in her hand and ate it in small bites. She walked out slowly with her calf, and ran away with her feet sprinkled out of the door.
