far and near

The quiet time of "Fu Lin Jiang" restaurant starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the noisy and long banquet will end before then. At this time, the employees in the restaurant can finally have lunch, clean and clean the kitchen of the box, and take the time to rest hours.

Xiao Jiang from Shuitai has a mediocre relationship with other people in the kitchen. He usually doesn't participate in other people's fights against landlords, and would rather go around the back door of Fulin River and watch the empty parking lot to smoke.Sometimes he doesn't just swallow the clouds, he also likes to watch Yinxiu sit on the iron stairs and paint on the drawing board on his knees.

Yinxiu is the deputy foreman, and she is the latest celebrity of the hotel proprietress, Zhang Jie.The cook pays attention to how the dishes are put into the pot, and the waiters at the front desk have to look at people's eyes and talk and do things.Xiao Jiang still remembered that when Yinxiu first came to work, she was reprimanded by the old waiter for being clumsy, blind and deaf. In fact, the good-looking girls were mostly high-spirited. He had seen such girls take off their work clothes immediately after being scolded. leave.Yinxiu endured it, and changes visible to the naked eye also took place in her body.

She can remember the likes and preferences of all regular customers, even the strangers brought by regular customers can remember their last names even after sitting down.Her steps were also brisk, and her movements were light, and there was no longer a shrinking look on her face.She speaks generously, can make jokes, and is cheerful and comfortable, unlike a girl of her age.At the beginning, when she was bullied, she pinched her hands and pinched her butt, Yin Xiu's eyes would turn red when she stepped out of the box door, but now she can't look at her anymore.Although Xiao Jiang felt that Yin Xiu's red eyes were pitiful and cute.

In this line of work, Xiao Jiang started from the hardest place in the water table, dealing with the chickens, ducks, fish and seafood all day long, but he has hope, he can also learn how to make dim sum and roast meat. Maybe in ten years, Xiao Jiang will become a Chef Chiang.But the waiters are different. Although Ms. Zhang of "Fulinjiang" has a set of management experience and divides the girls into the front office manager, front office foreman, deputy foreman, and waiter, the girls who are familiar with it will switch to other jobs and fly away. .It is said that there is no high or low in the industry, but I don’t think so when I really choose.Can you be decades old by setting up plates and pouring water to attract customers and pour wine?

Xiao Jiang felt that Yin Xiu would definitely fly away too, especially when she saw the clothing structure drawing on her drawing board.Xiao Jiang didn't understand, but felt that the lines were drawn neatly and smoothly, "Have you learned it?" He handed a cigarette to Yinxiu, but the girl refused.

"I went to the training class to learn a little bit at night." These days, any skill training is very expensive, and one class is worth two months' salary.Yinxiu gritted her teeth for a few months before applying to the training school located in the back alley of Muyang Road in the old city. It is said that this used to be a public school under the jurisdiction of the district committee.After the development of the West District, these institutions were withdrawn and moved. The old gate was crowded with famous brands of various classes. The ghosts did not know where the long-haired and sloppy male teacher was invited to teach fashion design to the eager-eyed students below. .

Yinxiu goes to class three times a week in the evening, except for the rest day, the other two nights are squeezed out.She worked the day shift from ten in the morning to eight in the evening, and had to talk to her colleagues and the boss's wife before she could catch the bus.Shake four 10 minutes to the training class, the class has been on for 10 minutes.

"Many of the waiters here used to go to open clothing stores." Xiao Jiang's cigarette butt flickered, and so did his eyes.There is a saying that is hard to break—most of the waiters who can go out to open a store are accompanied by someone.It's still simple for women, and they can sleep out of their capital.He wants to open his own restaurant, but he doesn't know how long he will have to make up for it by killing chickens and fish.

Yinxiu understood the implication, so she ignored Xiao Jiang's words.Talking to people like the back kitchen is very particular, and if you say a few more words, it will be rumored that someone is chasing her, especially in private.But it is different at work. Yinxiu puts a sophisticated smile on her delicate face. She opens her mouth to say "Brother Jiang" and shuts her mouth to "Brother Wang". Waiting for a woman to face her helpless and delicate face.

Xiao Jiang smoked two more cigarettes, and Yin Xiu kept bowing her head to draw the details of the neckline arranged by the teacher, but she was not satisfied with the few drawings.Her skills are poor, and it will be troublesome to chase her.There is no other way but to make up for it in spare time.

"Don't move." Xiao Jiang suddenly leaned over and twisted the spider off Yinxiu's shoulder with his fingers.But this twist was quite delicate, he stretched out his index finger, but pressed his wrist lightly on Yinxiu's shoulder for a moment.Feeling his pretended intimacy, Yin Xiu put away her drawing board and stood up.Xiao Jiang raised his hand to look at the spider that was still climbing, and smiled childishly, "It's terrible to climb up to the neck."

Seeing that Yinxiu was about to leave, Xiao Jiang turned her body to block the way, "Hey, they are all in a relationship, do you have a boyfriend?"

Yinxiu said yes.She knew that this group of chefs liked to tell dirty jokes and bet on chasing little girls all day long, so Xiao Jiang's expression froze.

"What... is he doing?" Xiao Jiang asked awkwardly.

"Still studying." Yin Xiu tapped Xiao Jiang's arm with the drawing board in his hand, "Come on, let me go."

Within three days, everyone knew that Yinxiu had a boyfriend who was studying. The older colleagues asked her to take time to bring him to the restaurant for everyone to see. The younger one asked where your boyfriend is studying. Is it a college student?The corners of his mouth retracted without knowing it, as if he had seen through the ending of this relationship.

Even the proprietress Zhang Jie teased Yin Xiu, "You can't get married too early, my shop will suffer a lot if you leave."

But being overly speculated also has its benefits. The people around her became more understanding and considerate of Yin Xiu asking for leave or shifting shifts.Yinxiu worked for three consecutive weeks without taking a day off, in exchange for three days she could go out to do some errands.

"Go, go, miss him?" The colleague blinked understandingly, and unconsciously glanced at Yinxiu's abdomen.

Yinxiu doesn't have a boyfriend to think about, she just wants to go shopping in the big and small shopping malls and clothing wholesale markets in the provincial capital.It is her ideal to open a small shop that designs clothes by herself.If given the chance, she would like to ask Uso to meet him.

She and Usheng mostly communicate on Q. Although Usheng has a mobile phone, Yinxiu hasn't bought one yet, and the money for thousands of mobile phones has already been spent on the training class.But the [-]-hour Internet cafe in the urban village is very convenient.Yinxiu knew that Maosheng's mother had already bought a suite in the provincial capital, and it was very troublesome to decorate it, and she had no one to rely on.Naturally, the matter of running the materials market and the home furnishing market fell on Uosheng's shoulders.

Uosheng was so happy, she just felt that she didn't fit in with the Provincial Opera School, "There's nothing to talk about, I can do the decoration after school." She asked Yinxiu, "Why are the newly installed floor tiles in my house bulging and empty after being knocked on?" sound?"

Yinxiu has some experience in the decoration of restaurants. "Maybe the master didn't clean up the garbage before, so he filled it under the tiles so that the concrete could not be completely filled. You can pry open a few places and have a look. If there is such a situation, let him do it again." Socialized printing Sister reminded Uosheng again, "Don't be afraid, if he mutters and doesn't like it, you can make it clear, if this happens again, you won't give him a penny."

So Mao Sheng became the youngest owner in the new community, and ran to the scene to stare at him half-understanding when he had nothing to do.Either take pictures, check information and ask Yin Xiu, or call Zhao Lan directly. After more than a month of busy work, the new home is only half renovated.

"I was so busy that I didn't have time to leave a message for Yu Ren," Uosheng said that she even missed a phone call from Yu Ren.

"Do you have time to leave a lot of words for sister Yin?" Yin Xiu was smiling when she typed this line, while Bai Maosheng returned a helpless expression.

And Sister Yin said, "This Tuesday I will go to the wholesale clothing market in the provincial capital, and I will arrive around noon. If you are free, we will pick a place to meet in the evening." Uosheng said in one word, "Okay."

After packing the new snacks for Uosheng, Yinxiu didn't have a big bag or a small bag when he went to the provincial capital again.She only brought a handbag given to her by Sister Zhang, which was printed with "Completion Ceremony of Baizhou Small Commodity World", which was a gift she got after participating in the event.

After greeting Yuan Huifang, Yinxiu walked to the edge of the bustling West District through the characters "demolition".At first, she was a little flustered when someone came to measure the area of ​​the building and smeared the word "demolition". The longer she lived here, the more she couldn't let go of Yinxiu.She is a tenant in a village in the city, but 200 yuan a month has bought her a sense of security. When she goes out, there are cheap snacks, street food markets, hairdressers, and all kinds of people she is already familiar with.This was her habitat before she bought her own house.

From shelter to habitat, Yinxiu's regular daily life, calm and firm mind, and increasingly independent life skills have accumulated here—after not living with her mother Yin Xiaochang, Yinxiu felt that her household registration book Just by yourself.

Yinxiu was standing under the brand-new platform waiting for No. 59. She might have just missed one bus and had to wait twelve minutes for the next one.Yinxiu observes the clothes of the people around her. Some are dressed in fashion, while others have no style at all. The most outstanding ones are a few girls who look like college students. White or blue denim shirts and overalls are embellished with youthful comfort.Yinxiu glanced at herself, she was wearing a pair of old jeans and a floral-dot shirt, and the jacket was the windbreaker that Sister Zhang gave her, "You have a slender figure, and your skin tone is more suitable for this aqua blue color."

She is also very happy with herself.Yin Xiu clenched her handbag tightly, several horns sounded urgently, and a gray Lexus poked its head out, "Is it Xiao Yin? I'll take you where to go."

Yinxiu recognized him as a regular customer of "Fulinjiang". She didn't know his surname, but anyone who saw him would warmly call him "Brother Hao".Brother Hao is in his thirties, his car is well washed, and he is well groomed, but he likes to have a beard on his lips that is out of date.Yinxiu had heard about his business chats with people in the private room, and guessed that he was engaged in decoration.

For Brother Hao's invitation, Yin Xiu subconsciously resisted, "Thank you Brother Hao, I don't trouble you, my car will be here in a while."

Brother Hao got out of the car and opened the co-pilot's door for her, "Why, where are you going? The train station or the bus station?"

Yinxiu declined several times and finally couldn't hold back Brother Hao, got into the car, and said to go to the bus station.She held her bag and stared straight ahead, she seemed far less generous than in a restaurant, Brother Hao smiled, "Seat belt."

Seeing that the girl was a little nervous, Brother Hao chatted with her, "Coincidentally, I'm also going to the provincial capital, and I usually drive there in a little over two hours. How about this, you can chat with me, so that I don't fall asleep while driving, and don't go Take the bus."

Brother Hao was very talkative along the way, talking about his own business and friends' voices, and he didn't look at Yinxiu impolitely like some guests.When getting off the expressway, Brother Hao said to Yin Xiu, "Being a waiter is not a lifetime job. My company lacks a salesman. If you are willing, come and try."

After passing the toll gate and entering the provincial capital, Brother Hao asked Yin Xiu, "Where should I take you to get off?"

Yin Xiu didn't know either, she planned to take a step at a time, and wanted to find a cheap hotel near the wholesale market for a few days.Seeing her hesitating, Brother Hao thought the girl was shy, so he took out a business card from his pocket, "Take it away, just call me if you need anything in the provincial capital. Where does your boyfriend study? Shall I take you to the gate of his school?"

Yinxiu smiled wryly, she casually blocked Xiao Jiang's words, and even the restaurant guests took it seriously, "Well, brother Hao, you can put me at the bus stop if it's convenient for you." Brother Hao didn't insist on his own opinion at this time, and parked the car next to a bus stop , although he has single eyelids, his eyes are very radiant, and the ability and thoughtfulness of a businessman are reflected on his face, "If you need anything, don't be afraid of trouble."

"Okay, thank you Brother Hao." Yin Xiu waved to him with a smile.

Brother Hao nodded and looked towards the front of the car, then turned back and called Yin Xiu, "Xiao Yin," he hesitated, "Think about what I told you."

Although Yin Xiu nodded her head, she also understood that all things in this world are mixed with men and women, and most of them have something to do with the word "color".Brother Hao just drove her to the provincial capital, but he directly persuaded himself to quit and go to his company.This matter seems disorderly and coincidental, but it seems a little inevitable in such a space of lonely men and widows.Yinxiu understands that he is a blank slate in this field, what is he planning?As long as a businessman is not stupid, he can figure out the source of profit clearly.

But Brother Hao is different from those men who smell of alcohol and are full of benevolence and dirty hands.This man is quite charming, and he doesn't talk nonsense.In just over two hours, Yin Xiu classified him from the "good" category among regular customers to "very good."

It's really interesting, she regards this man as "sex", but she thinks he is not bad under the foil of others.

Yinxiu was still thinking about Brother Hao when he boarded the bus to the clothing wholesale market. When he passed the old Drum Tower in the city, he saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Yinxiu decided to call Usheng after finding a place to live.

The provincial capital is much bigger, the drivers drive more wildly, and road infrastructure is being built everywhere, Yinxiu was dizzy, dizzy, and sick to her stomach.After arriving at the clothing wholesale market, she got off the car and leaned against the platform to relax for a while, but someone tried to take the bag away.The vigilant Yin Xiu snatched the bag, and when she saw that it was Uno, she relaxed, "Didn't you say you were waiting for my call?"

As soon as Maosheng came, he forgot all about Brother Hao, Brother Liu and Brother Ma, his mind cleared up, and a knowing smile naturally appeared on his face.Yin Xiu Ren Maosheng helped her carry the bag and explained, "I left early, anyway, the provincial opera school is loose." She handed Yin Xiu a sealed cup, "Drink hot water."

Yin Xiu's heart skipped a beat, "It's quite caring."

Uno still smiled, she was obviously tanned due to the renovation work during this period, her cheeks were thinner, making her black and white eyes even more attractive.The big eyes approached Yin Xiu, and after seeing her eyebrows clearly, his eyes fell on the soft lips of the other party. Yin Xiu was almost choked by her stare, "What's wrong?"

"I used the color we bought last time." Uno's smile revealed, "It's so pretty."

Yinxiu suddenly understood that the difference between men and women is greater than that of men, at least no man can stare at her heartbeat without feeling disgusted.

"You're pretty fast. I thought it would be past twelve o'clock when you took the bus from the bus station to get here." It was rare for Uosheng to see an acquaintance from Baizhou, and he kept talking happily.

"I'll take..." Yinxiu stopped, "I came here in the private car of Brother Hao, a restaurant customer, so it's faster."

Uno took the pastry from her hand, "Eh? Is this for me?" She signaled Yinxiu to open the box, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth while chewing while nodding, "Well, sister Yin——

"Private cars are less dizzy, better than buses." Uosheng chewed for a while and finished tasting this piece, then wiped his mouth, "I still want to eat it."

Yin Xiu looked at her and shook her head, "Bai Maosheng,"

"Eh." Uzumaki replied.

"It's not easy for you to fall in love until now."
