She got up early, put on clean clothes, combed her hair, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh: "I look so beautiful~"
"Pfft." Cheng Jiawen, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help laughing when he heard her suddenly sigh like this after looking in the mirror for a long time.
As expected, Xu Qianjiao glared at him when she heard the voice and said threateningly, "Why, do you think I'm not good-looking?"
Cheng Jiawen quickly stood up and smoothed his hair, "No, it's very beautiful. My wife is the most beautiful."
He kept saying sweet words and finally coaxed Xu Qianjiao. If he failed to coax her, it would only hurt his wallet. He didn't want his wallet to lose weight, it would hurt him.
Xu Qianjiao glanced at him, snorted coldly, and continued to look in the mirror, admiring her beauty.
Suddenly, Xu's mother's voice came from the yard, "Jiaojiao, Jiawen, are you still not up? Hurry up and get ready for breakfast. We'll set off after breakfast."
It was not yet completely light outside, and the sky was still dotted with stars, but Xu's mother had already prepared breakfast. After breakfast, it was time for Xu Qianjiao to set off.
She had to go to work at the county station, which was very far from the village. It took her more than half an hour to get there by bike, so she had to get up before dawn every day to go to work.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Cheng Jiawen in the room heard Xu's mother calling and quickly responded. He stood up and looked at Xu Qianjiao with a smile, "Wife, are you done with your pretentiousness? It's time to go eat. After we finish eating, we have to leave."
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao sat in front of the mirror, turned around, checked again to make sure there was nothing wrong, then stood up and took Cheng Jiawen to the dining room to prepare for dinner.
Today is Xu Qianjiao's first day at work, and Xu's mother prepared a very rich breakfast, including scallion pancakes, white porridge and pickled radish.
When they walked over, Xu's father and mother were already sitting at the table. "Come on, hurry up. We have to go to work after dinner. Don't be late on the first day."
"Okay, okay, I got it." Xu Qianjiao nodded with a smile, and quickly pulled Cheng Jiawen to sit over and prepare to have breakfast.
Mother Xu scooped a bowl of porridge for the two of them, "Come, have some porridge."
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
As they ate breakfast, Xu's mother kept muttering to Xu Qianjiao, "Jiaojiao, when you go to work there, don't be afraid of the hard work. Just do whatever they ask you to do. Um... Of course, I don't mean you have to do everything, but if you're lazy, you have to be smart and don't let anyone catch you, okay?"
Xu Qianjiao nodded, "I see, mother, don't you know your daughter? The king of slacking off."
Xu's mother rolled her eyes. Although she didn't understand what "Moyu King" meant, she knew that Xu Qianjiao was showing off.
She smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more. She just silently said, "From now on, Jiawen will take you to work and pick you up after get off work in the evening. Remember to wait for him to pick you up, okay?"
"Huh? Actually, I can ride a bike by myself. It's such a long way, and Jiawen has to go back and forth..." Xu Qianjiao said with a little heartache.
Before she could finish, Cheng Jiawen interrupted her, "Are you sure you want to ride your bike by yourself? It takes me more than half an hour. If it were you, it would probably take you an hour."
Hearing this, Xu Qianjiao was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone: "Ahem, since you insist on sending me to work, then I won't be polite. I'll make you work hard every day."
Cheng Jiawen watched her attitude change in a second and smiled helplessly, "As expected, the way to deal with lazy people is to tell them how hard they work..."
"Okay, then remember to wait for me. These days, while you are at work, I will go to Fatty's place to help. When you get off work, we will come back together." Cheng Jiawen said while drinking porridge.
"Hmm." Xu Qianjiao said incoherently while eating the scallion pancake.
After breakfast, the two of them set off on their first day of work.
-------------------------------------
The wind was so cold it seemed to penetrate people's bones. The sun hung weakly in the sky, looking pale and powerless. On the village road, Cheng Jiawen rode his bicycle with Xu Qianjiao sitting on the back seat, ready to go to work.
Cheng Jiawen pedaled hard, resisting the onslaught of the cold wind. His cheeks were red from the wind, and his lips were a little purple. Xu Qianjiao hugged his waist tightly, pressing her face against his back, feeling his body temperature.
Her hands around his waist gradually became cold. She looked at Cheng Jiawen with some heartache. She was sitting in the back, and her hands became cold after sitting for a while. How cold must it be for him riding in the front?
"Cheng Jiawen, do you want to take a break? Are you tired?" she asked with concern.
Cheng Jiawen shook his head. "It's okay. I'm not tired. If you rest for a while, you'll be late." At this moment, he noticed that Xu Qianjiao's hands, which were wrapped around his waist, were already red from the cold. He cried out distressedly, "Put your hands in my pockets. The wind is so strong that it's freezing."
Xu Qianjiao looked at the sky which was almost getting bright and had to agree with him. If she rested, she would indeed be late. She had no choice but to continue riding forward. She clenched her arms and hugged him tightly, wanting to warm him with her body temperature.
In the back seat, her hair fluttered in the wind and her eyes revealed a kind of tranquility and happiness.
The cold wind howled, but it couldn't stop them from moving forward. Their figures gradually moved away on the village road, heading towards their workplace.
-------------------------------------
A house appeared in front of the two of them. Cheng Jiawen pushed his bicycle and walked into the station with Xu Qianjiao.
It is bustling with people inside. The old buildings reveal the traces of time, and the big clock on the platform has witnessed countless farewells and reunions.
People wore simple clothes and carried bags on their backs, their faces revealing their reluctance to leave their loved ones and their confusion and expectations about the future.
The roar of trains and the steam filling the air create a noisy and bustling atmosphere. The station's announcements constantly announce the arrival and departure times of trains, reminding passengers not to miss their trains.
In the waiting room, wooden benches were filled with people chatting, dozing, or anxiously awaiting their trains. A yellowed train timetable was posted on the wall, showing the limited trains and destinations.
In front of the ticket window, people lined up in a long queue, waiting patiently to buy tickets, their eyes full of longing for distant places.
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen went straight to the office and prepared to look for 'Sister Huang'. Yes, 'Sister Huang' was the person who sold the job to Xu Qianjiao. They were going to look for her to hand over the work. Only after completing all the formalities could Xu Qianjiao start working.
