烤匠

The largest barbecue restaurant in the county, Yi Xiaojing had always heard her colleagues mention it before, but she had never been there. Today, when Aunt Wei said she was going to try barbecue, Yi Xiaojing came with two old ladies.

When we arrived, there was no room available, so the three of us ate free snacks outside for a while before going in.

The three of them ordered a lot. After a while, the charcoal came up, and a young waiter came next to him and started grilling meat for several people.

At first, Mrs. Wei enjoyed it very much. She was responsible for eating the barbecue when others provided her with it. But as she continued to eat, Mrs. Wei realized that something was wrong. This girl seemed to be a ruthless barbecue machine, and she didn't care whether she or the others had finished eating. , keep roasting, and put it on the plate next to it when it is done. Not to mention that the barbecue is cold, and this girl roasted it a little too high, and the meat is not delicious. Mrs. Wei couldn't help but said:

"Girl, you roasted the meat for a little too long."

The little girl didn't even raise her eyes and said directly:

"You're not old, that's just right."

Old Mrs. Wei: "We two old ladies, the meat is too old and our teeth are not good enough to bite it."

The little girl looked at the two old ladies, and then nodded. The next piece of meat was a little more tender, but Old Mrs. Wei was still dissatisfied, so she waved her hand and let them go.

Standing up and picking up the tools, Mrs. Wei picked up a piece of meat, turned up the heat, and placed the meat directly on the baking pan. There was a sizzling sound on the baking pan, and a scent came out.

"This barbecue must be grilled on both sides over high fire first, so that the moisture inside can be locked in. Otherwise, the roasted beef will be like this, old and tough."

As Mrs. Wei spoke, she picked up a piece of meat grilled by the waiter as a negative lesson.

Seeing that both sides of the meat had changed color, Mrs. Wei picked up the scissors and cut it a few times, roasted it for a while, and then used tongs to pick up a piece for Grandma Yi and Yi Xiaojing.

The two people's eyes suddenly lit up, especially Grandma Yi's. To be honest, the waiter just grilled a few pieces, but Grandma Yi didn't bite any piece, so she just swallowed it, choking. The old sister grilled it so fragrant and delicious. Tender.

"Sister, you can make money with this skill."

"Ms. Wei, your roast is so delicious."

"hey-hey"

After the two of them flirted with each other, they looked at Mrs. Wei expectantly.

"Okay, I will be a waiter this year to serve these two hard-working employees of our family."

"puff"

Yi Xiaojing burst into laughter. She had been with Aunt Wei for a long time and would not regard her as an old lady at all. Who is a good old lady? She can walk without panting and lift 200 kilograms of heavy objects with one hand. When nothing happens, she will Taking Yi Xiaojing to race with others, in Yi Xiaojing's heart, Mrs. Wei was her best friend, but she was just a little older.

A few people were almost done eating when Yi Xiaojing suddenly noticed a waiter who looked familiar.

"Grandma, do you think the waiter at the next table clearing the dishes is Xiaona from Li Lianhua's family?"

"Did you see the wrong person? That kid just graduated from junior high school, he seems to be only 15. I saw him in the village some time ago?"

Although Grandma Yi didn't believe it, she still turned her head and looked over.

"Xiao Na?"

He Na heard someone calling her and looked towards the source of the sound, with joy on her face.

"Sister Xiaojing, Grandma Yi."

Seeing that it was Xiaona, Grandma Yi immediately straightened her face and lectured:

"Xiao Na, why are you here? How old are you? Come out to work. I'll talk to your boss."

After saying that, Grandma Yi got up and went to find the boss. This child is only 15 this year. Isn't this considered child labor?

"Grandma Yi, I beg you, please don't go to my boss. I managed to get in using someone else's ID card."

He Na looked worried and quickly grabbed Grandma Yi.

Seeing the anxiety on He Na's face, Grandma Yi said:

"Did your mother ask you to come?"

Surprisingly, He Na shook her head.

"I came out on my own. My mother still doesn't know where I am now?"

Yi Xiaojing widened her eyes and said:

"Did you run away from home?"

He Na nodded.

Grandma Yi suddenly felt distressed and asked quickly what was going on?

This Li Lianhua favors boys over girls, and the child has suffered a lot.

"My mother wanted to sell me to the mountains, and we agreed on a price of 3 yuan. That was the night when Grandma Yi's house caught fire. My mother and brother came in and out all night, waking me up. , I wanted to go out to the bathroom, but I heard my mother discussing with my brother, saying that after selling my money, I would pay off my brother’s gambling debts, and then buy my brother a wife. I was scared. The next afternoon , I ran away while they were not at home."

These words made the three of them burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Grandma Yi couldn't help but cursed:

"This Li Lianhua is simply not a human being. This child Xiaona has been sensible since she was a child. Now she wants to sell Xiaona for such a bad gambler's son?"

Mrs. Wei on the side.Look at Xiaona smiling kindly.

"Xiao Na, you are such a beautiful girl and so capable. You will definitely marry into a good family in the future."

He Na didn't recognize the smiling old lady in front of her, but she felt happy when she heard the compliments about herself, so she smiled and said:

"Thank you grandma."

"No need to thank grandma, grandma has something to ask you. What time did you wake up that night?"

"At 11:10 in the middle of the night, because it was already dark outside and there was no moon yet, I thought about what time it was and my mother and the others were still awake, so I turned on the flashlight and glanced at the clock."

"Do your mother and the others usually sleep so late?"

He Na shook her head and then said:

"At our house, we basically go to bed at eight or nine at night as soon as it gets dark."

"It was so late that night. What were your mother and the others doing out there? Do you know?"

He Na is a smart person. After Mrs. Wei kept asking questions like this, He Na felt that something was wrong, and her voice trembled slightly and she said:

"Grandma, do you suspect that my mother went out in the middle of the night and burned Grandma Yi's house?"

Grandma Yi and Yi Xiaojing next to her also knew what Mrs. Wei was up to. In an instant, three pairs of eyes stared directly at He Na's eyes.

Seeing the little girl's nervous look, Mrs. Wei patted He Na's hand and said:

"Xiao Na is a good child. Your mother did something wrong, and your brother is not a good brother. You are in the county now. Although your mother doesn't know it now, there are always a few people from the same village in the county. When the time comes, they When I meet you, it’s not like grandmas who can hide it from you.”

He Na trembled. She didn't want to be sold into the mountains. None of the women who were sold had a good ending.

"Grandma, I said, I was woken up at about 10 o'clock that day. When I came back, I heard my mother talking to my brother, saying that she had just made a phone call outside, negotiated the price, and then asked my brother to go to bed quickly. After a while, about ten minutes, I heard my mother going out with something, and then within a few minutes, my brother also went out."
