Chapter 192: Fortune and Honor in Danger
Lin Xiaotong had to be held in the arms for another three minutes before Xie Yi let go.
She thought about what happened last night and tilted her head to ask, "What happened to Xiong Chuan last night? Was he seriously injured?"
"I'm fine, I just got hit on the head by a coconut and have a slight concussion. I need to recover for a few days."
"I'll go to the cafeteria to get breakfast and come back. You can wash up first."
Xie Yi turned over and got up, quickly washed up and ran to the cafeteria.
Lin Xiaotong also had a good sleep, so she stood up, stretched her muscles, and then slowly washed up.
I looked at the good weather outside and it was another sunny day today.
…
It has been sunny every day in Beijing recently. After Gao Xiulan finished her breakfast quickly in the morning, she pushed her bicycle to work in high spirits.
He pushed the bicycle out of the yard, took a step forward with his long legs, and rode away in the wind.
He happened to meet Jin Qiaofeng who had just returned from the restroom, and the two of them happened to bump into each other.
Gao Xiulan took the initiative to greet him: "Good morning."
"Hey, back to work again."
"Yes."
Jin Qiaofeng held her belt and looked back and shook her head after the people left.
Gao Xiulan doesn't feel tired at work every day. She goes from street to street to matchmake people and her mouth is dry with talk.
Sometimes, while listening to people talking, I have to keep writing down what they are saying in a small notebook.
However, her fortune has improved this year, and some people have come to see her specifically.
She says she is a capable person, and look how popular she is.
Old Chang, you have to be at ease down there. Our son is getting married soon. I will secretly burn it for you when the ceremony takes place.
She rushed back to the yard and saw Ernengzi picking at her lotion with her hands.
Oh my! This is too much.
"You kid, you're so good, you even got it from your mother."
Ernengzi smiled and said, "Mom, I see that there is only a little bit of your vanishing cream left. I'll just apply it casually. I'll buy you a new bottle when I come back at noon."
"Okay, by the way, son, when will things between you and Cuicui be settled?"
She has prepared all the things for her house, and the three major items are placed in the house, but her daughter-in-law has not yet entered the house.
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry? We're still dating, how can it be so fast?"
Ernengzi spread the cold cream evenly on his face while busy talking.
"Why shouldn't I be anxious? People's kids at your age are already in school."
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, I'm going out."
"Remember to lock the door."
Jin Qiaofeng thought that she had a business waiting for her this morning, so she glared at her troublesome son and rushed out again.
"I understand."
Ernengzi dressed himself up and rode his bike to work. He had an appointment with He Cuicui to have lunch at a state-owned restaurant at noon today.
You have to dress up nicely. A pretty face makes food taste better. Beauty is a feast for the eyes.
…
When Gao Xiulan rushed to the counter, Qin Weihong next to her tilted her head to look at her, looked her up and down a few times, and quickly looked away.
Seeing this, Gao Xiulan thought that the girl's eyes were twitching. She was so young, but her eyesight was not very good. It was really pitiful.
After working for a few days, she found that she was quite suitable for selling things. It must be because she always spoke the truth and what was good was good.
The little girls all believe in her, and the aunts also love to chat with her. She really appeals to people of all ages.
When there were no customers at the counter, I would make some small clothes with Sister Mei to save for her future grandson or granddaughter.
She also specially collected some brightly colored fabrics, sewed them into a cloth ball, and stuffed it with soft cotton, which looked very childlike.
Recently, Lao Xie has been preparing to make a big project when he has nothing to do. He goes to the scrap yard every now and then to find some neat wood.
I'm saving up money to make a crib, but it won't be ready in a short time. I'll just plan it first, because it will come in handy someday.
Gao Xiulan thought that since her daughter Xiaotong was going to visit relatives in the south this time, it might be possible.
Otherwise, it’s just that Xie Yi is not living up to his expectations. I’ll find a way to make up for him when I come back.
Qin Weihong recently contacted her uncle Hao Jianjun and after much persuasion, she finally found a temporary job for Chen Lan in a state-owned restaurant. She has already started working.
For this, Chen Lan brought her a bag of apples, but she refused to take them all.
The apple looked bitter, so she refused to eat it for fear of getting a toothache.
As soon as Chen Lan entered, she was responsible for washing vegetables, but it seemed that Qian Yu was also working as a waiter there, so she didn't want to go.
However, she still liked the braised beef from that restaurant very much. Whenever her father was happy, he would ask Uncle Fang to buy a few pounds and send them home.
But she really didn't want to see Uncle Fang these days. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but think about her mother and Fang Yuan again.
…
Chen Lan has been in a generally good mood recently because she is working again, although it is only a temporary job.
However, after she had packed up and was taken to a state-owned restaurant, she realized that she was a vegetable washer.
When I came in, I happened to be staring at Qian Yu. This was really subtle. Old classmates met again.
But one is a vegetable washer and the other is a waiter.
Chen Lan's face froze, but she also knew that Chef Qian was Qian Yu's biological father, and she, who had no background, could not afford to offend him, so she had to keep a low profile.
Guan Dongliang was still shredding potatoes. Chen Lan took a glance and gave up. It was obvious at a glance that this man had no future.
It's really embarrassing for a grown man to come and cut the mounds.
Guan Dongliang, who was busy cutting vegetables, had no idea what this person was thinking.
Qian Yu is quite free now. He is responsible for collecting money and serving dishes as a waiter, while Aunt Huang is responsible for collecting bowls, wiping tables and washing dishes.
With Chen Lan's arrival, Aunt Huang's work became less stressful than before, so she didn't have any hostility towards Chen Lan.
Chen Lan originally thought that working in a state-owned restaurant would be glamorous, but after working all day washing vegetables, she couldn't even straighten her back and her hands were soaked and turned white.
I have to go back and apply lotion at night, and my heart is bleeding.
While squatting and washing vegetables, he thought to himself: "No, I have to think of a way. I can't just be a dishwasher forever."
I worked until noon and was so hungry that I could finally have lunch.
Looking at the braised pork in the bowl, she swallowed hard. Her family had never eaten such a sumptuous meal.
Braised pork is not eaten every day, but Chen Lan just got it today.
There were two pieces of braised pork in each person's bowl, with rich oil and red sauce. Chen Lan ate two bowls of brown rice in one breath.
She had eaten up all the soup in the bowl, and she didn't even think of leaving any for her family.
After eating, she was still savoring the deliciousness of the braised pork, and her heart became more determined in her inner thoughts: She just wanted to live a life of luxury, what's wrong with that?
That idiot Qin Weihong can work as a salesperson in a department store, so why can't she do it if she works so hard?
The happy eating duo, Qian Yu and Guan Dongliang, had no idea that today's braised pork had given Chen Lan such a big stimulation.
…
When Gao Xiulan was riding her bicycle past a state-owned restaurant after get off work in the afternoon, she felt in her pocket, went in, took out her lunch box and packed a portion of steamed pork ribs with rice flour, which were freshly out of the pot and steaming hot.
As she rode past, she inadvertently heard a familiar voice.
"Strange, isn't that Qin Weihong's clothes? But the head doesn't look like hers."
Before she could take a closer look, the figure had disappeared.
"Forget it, let's go home and eat."
"I don't know when Xiaotong will come back. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's very strange this year."
…
Chen Lan's heart was also pounding. She really didn't expect that she would have good luck just by going to the toilet.
It turned out that God was kind to her, otherwise why would he give her such a big fish.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
