The Cultivation of Rebirth

On the second day of summer vacation, Li Rui got up early, finished all the housework that his aunt asked him to do, washed the dishes after lunch, read a book, and then went out to the street.

The sun was still very hot after two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people on the street.Li Rui tried his best to walk into the shadows by the side of the road.

He walked through several streets familiarly, and then came to a street.

This street basically sells food, and there are many roadside stalls and barbecue stalls at night, which is very lively.

It was already three o'clock, but most of the small shops were still on their lunch break, and the doors of every house were half-closed.

Occasionally, you can see someone in the store lying on a rocking chair, shaking a cattail fan to look at the store.

Li Rui scanned the telephone poles on the street with his eyes, looking for job advertisements.

Summer is the time when the night market business is booming, and it didn't take long for Li Rui to find a few temporary handymen.

Li Rui wrote them down one by one, and marked out three key targets according to the salary level.

A restaurant, a stall, and a barbecue restaurant.

Then Li Rui asked one by one according to the address on the recruitment notice.

The two shops in front were busy until the early hours of the morning, and they disliked Li Rui for being too young, with slender arms and legs, and refused to take him.

Although Li Rui was disappointed, he was not discouraged.

He also worked for a period of time in the town of his hometown before, and he knew the general rules, so he came to the interview with the attitude of giving it a try.

Li Rui went to the barbecue restaurant again.

The barbecue restaurant is run by a middle-aged couple. It was a bit surprising to see such a kid as Li Rui coming for an interview.

They asked Li Rui a few words, and when they knew that Li Rui came out to look for a job to earn tuition fees, the couple looked at each other and left Li Rui behind.

The proprietress talked about the scope of work and remuneration again, and then asked Li Rui if he could come over to help tomorrow.

Li Rui told the proprietress that he could start working today.

The proprietress was taken aback.

The boss spoke first: "Then you go to the back and string up the two pots on the chopping board."

Li Rui nodded and went straight into the back kitchen.

The proprietress had previously introduced to him that his job is mainly to skewer, that is, to skewer all the ingredients to be grilled on bamboo sticks.In addition, it is to cut things again, and to be a helper when there are many guests.

It's okay to cut things. Li Rui was a little unskilled at the beginning, but after a while, his movements became smooth.

The proprietress came to see him halfway, seeing that Li Rui was doing well, she left with confidence.

Li Rui was stringing the meatballs seriously, and didn't notice that the proprietress had come.

After Li Rui finished these, he didn't know what to do, so he went out to find the boss and his wife.

When the boss saw Li Rui coming out, he was not in a hurry to ask him to go to work. He called the two helpers who had just arrived in the store and introduced them to each other.

Li Rui greeted the two of them politely.

Those two looked very kind, so Li Rui felt free to ask them any questions he had.

Li Rui responded.

The boss clapped his hands and asked everyone to start working, then asked Li Rui to follow him into a small room behind the kitchen.

There was a freezer in the small room. The boss opened the freezer, told Li Rui what to bring out and prepared, and then went to the front to get busy.

It's time for them to open the door.

This night, Li Rui skewered skewers for most of the night, and helped deliver the barbecue for half the night.

Considering that Li Rui had to walk home, before ten o'clock, the proprietress asked Li Rui to go back first.

Li Rui was serious and efficient in her work, and she reckoned that the prepared skewers would be enough.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Li Rui was embarrassed to leave first.

In the end, the boss also spoke, and Li Rui went home first.

On the way home, Li Rui was still thinking about meeting a good person.

Li Rui also made up his mind by the way.

The salary of the barbecue shop is five yuan a day, he can get 150 yuan a month, and 300 yuan in two months.

Li Rui had asked Gu Huaidong before, the tuition fee of Ruide Middle School is [-] for one year.

It was more than half the money.

Li Rui felt that he needed to find another job.

It is also necessary to stagger the time with that of the barbecue restaurant.

When Li Rui returned to his aunt's house, his aunt and uncle were not at home.

He walked into the room, Wang Hao glanced at him, and sucked his nose.

The younger brother asked directly: "Li Rui, what did you eat outside? It smells so good." He took a deep breath as he spoke.

Li Rui picked up his clothes and smelled them, and sure enough, he smelled the smell of barbecue.

Wang Hao asked Li Rui: "You found a job so quickly?"

Li Rui nodded.

"How much did the boss give you?" Wang Hao's eyes flashed.

Li Rui thought for a while, and reported a number: "One hundred a month."

Wang Hao looked at Li Rui, and said in a drawn out voice, "Your boss is quite generous." You must know that his father only got five hundred salary for a month after working so hard.

Li Rui didn't answer.

Wang Hao rubbed his chin, already thinking about telling his cheap stepmother about it.

Li Rui didn't speak any more, and silently took his clothes to take a shower, and then washed the changed clothes.

Li Rui wanted to find another job, but he couldn't find it after searching for days. Finally, he solved the problem by accident.

Li Rui got up early that day to go to the nearest vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Zhang Hongqin had bought all the vegetables he wanted. When he walked out of the vegetable market, he saw a job recruitment notice posted on a breakfast shop at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Li Rui saw that the notice was still new, and there were quite a lot of people buying breakfast now, so Zhang Hongqin was waiting for him at home, so he rushed back first.

After ten o'clock, Li Rui returned to the vegetable market.

At this time, the business of the breakfast shop has calmed down.

Li Rui stepped forward and asked the middle-aged woman selling breakfast: "Auntie, you said that you want to recruit workers, have you hired anyone?"

"Nope." The middle-aged woman saw the well-behaved Li Rui and told him, "This notice was posted just this morning."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she looked at Li Rui and asked, "Student, why are you asking this?"

"Auntie, I want to do this job." Li Rui said.

"Wait a minute." After the middle-aged woman finished speaking to Li Rui, she turned her head and yelled twice, and called a slightly fat middle-aged woman over, "Sister, there is a student here who wants to sell buns with us." After shouting, he introduced to Li Rui: "This is the boss, you can tell her."

The boss told Li Rui that their store opened early in the morning and asked Li Rui if he could come over on time.

Li Rui nodded and said yes.

The boss thought about it and asked Li Rui to try it for a few days.

After hearing this, Li Rui felt relieved, and thanked the boss repeatedly.

"Don't thank me first, it's not certain whether you can stay." The boss smiled.

Li Rui thought, he must work hard tomorrow to satisfy his aunts.

With one thing on his mind, Li Rui walked to his aunt's house, paying attention to whether there were empty bottles on the ground along the way.If you have any, you will pick them up and prepare to take them back and save them for sale.

Li Rui originally wanted to tell his aunt that he had found another job, but after returning home, he found that the atmosphere at home was not peaceful.

Zhang Hongqin and Wang Yundong were arguing for some reason.

Li Rui couldn't care less about what to say to them, so he hurriedly hid in his room.

After dinner, Li Rui told Zhang Hongqin about it.

After Zhang Hongqin heard this, she only asked Li Rui to work hard, and told Li Rui to put her there first if she got the wages, so as not to lose them.

Li Rui nodded and did not refute her.

Then Li Rui began to work two part-time jobs every day.

The breakfast shop is usually busy until after ten o'clock in the morning, and the barbecue shop usually doesn't need help until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Not much, but it is also a piece of money.

Li Rui was busy working part-time to earn tuition fees, although he would think of Gu Huaidong when he was resting, but he really didn't have the time to go and play with Gu Huaidong.

So Gu Huaidong was at home, waiting for Li Rui's call, and even Lin Xin said that he would come to G City to play with him soon, but he couldn't get excited.

Gu Huaidong couldn't sit still anymore, even though he knew that Li Rui didn't like his visits, he still went to Aunt Li Rui's house to find someone.

But when he went to Zhang Hongqin's house to arrest Li Rui, he only met Wang Hao and a kid.

Wang Hao is very enthusiastic about Gu Huaidong, but this is of no use.

Gu Huaidong didn't have a good impression of Wang Hao, so he directly asked where Li Rui had gone.

Wang Hao asked Gu Huaidong: "Didn't Li Rui tell you that he went to work?"

"Where did he go to work?" Gu Huaidong asked.

This Wang Hao really doesn't know.

He asked Li Rui, but Li Rui didn't say anything.

Wang Hao turned his head and asked his younger brother if he knew.

The younger brother pouted and replied, "I don't know."

The younger brother doesn't like Gu Huaidong, this person is fierce when he looks at him.

Gu Huaidong saw that he couldn't get a result from the questioning, so he ignored Wang Hao's flattery and got up to leave.

Wang Hao was still thinking about how to trick and abduct Gu Huaidong, how he would be willing to let someone go, so he immediately stretched out his hand to pull Gu Huaidong.

Gu Huaidong clamped Wang Hao's hand reflexively, and twisted it instead.

Wang Hao cried out in pain.

Gu Huaidong let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm not used to being touched by others."

Gu Huaidong's expression was cold.

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Wang Hao was startled.

Originally, he didn't think much of Li Rui, a classmate, thinking that if he was given a chance, he would surely be able to trick him, but now he found that he was much stronger than him, at least when Gu Huaidong clamped his hand just now, he tried his best I can't break free even with strength.

Wang Hao's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Of course Gu Huaidong didn't care about Wang Hao's mood and left directly.

As soon as he went back, he let the people he withdrew before continue to follow Li Rui.

So the next morning, as soon as Gu Huaidong woke up, he knew that Li Rui got up early every morning to go to the vegetable market to sell buns.

Thinking that Li Rui had already woken up to go to work at the breakfast shop in the vegetable market while he was still sleeping, Gu Huaidong felt uncomfortable.

He immediately wanted to bring Li Rui back.

Gu Huaidong closed his eyes and took a deep breath to keep himself from being impulsive.

He made people continue to look at Li Rui.

As a result, in the afternoon, the people who followed Li Rui reported to him that Li Rui had gone to work in a barbecue restaurant.

When he knew that Li Rui had to work until after nine o'clock or ten o'clock in the evening before leaving get off work, Gu Huaidong's heart ached like a needle.

While his peers were planning what to do during the summer vacation, his Li Rui was working hard at two jobs for the few hundred dollars in tuition.

Is he tired? Will he be bullied by unreasonable guests?

When Gu Huaidong thought about it, his eyes felt dry.

When he didn't find love, Li Rui worked harder than now to make money, and he didn't feel bad; when he knew he was in love, he couldn't see Li Rui suffering even a little bit.

Gu Huaidong felt that his patience was almost exhausted.

Even if he leaves someone with a clue, he has to do something quickly.

Gu Huaidong picked up the phone without hesitation.
