Chapter 4 Resentment (I)



Orion Supermarket is located at the right end of Xialin Street, on the edge of the commercial district. There are large clothing stores not far away and high-end office buildings behind it.

Because of its good location, the supermarket has a very large flow of customers.

Xu Xianxian was wearing a red dress and was just over 1.5 meters tall, only slightly taller than the cash register.

With such a petite height and such a cute and tender face, if the age is not specifically told, customers passing by will think that this is the owner's child who came to help.

"Hello, the total is 57.4 yuan."

Xu Xianxian took out a plastic bag from under the counter, and with a serious expression, she skillfully packed the items one by one and then quickly gave the change.

Her movements were skillful and calm, neither awkward nor shy around strangers, and she maintained a formal smile. Although she looked cute, she gave off a sense of maturity that didn't match her appearance.

After all, this petite and cute body contains the soul of a man in his twenties, who has experienced the ups and downs of the workplace.

Working as a salesperson in a supermarket might be a bit of a waste of her talent, but for her who is still young and not well educated, the income provided by this odd job is already pretty good.

Xu Xianxian had thought about investing or stock trading. After all, the protagonists in novels and TV dramas all did that. It was a quick and easy way to make money.

But in reality...it is extremely difficult to implement it.

Not to mention that her family is poor and she has no capital, she has never touched those things in her previous life and does not have any extraordinary talents. Asking her to play with her feet?

It’s better to do odd jobs honestly to earn a living, and then find a job after graduating from college. At least you will have a lot of experience in the workplace and can move forward faster than in your previous life.

The discovery of this conclusion made Xu Xianxian feel inexplicably frustrated. After being reborn, ordinary people can only be ordinary people...

"Xianxian, give me two packs of Wuqi."

When it was the next customer's turn, it was an acquaintance Xu Xianxian knew who woke her up from her self-pity.

Xu Xianxian looked up at the other person, a hint of surprise and nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Rebirth is a wonderful thing. It makes old furniture look brand new and brings the deceased people in memory back to reality. But no one except her will have this memory.

"Okay." She took out two packs of Wuqi brand cigarettes from the cigarette cabinet behind her, handed them over, and said, "Uncle Li, smoke less and take care of your health."

Uncle Li and her father are old classmates. He is in his forties and has not yet married. He works in a high-end office building nearby and has a relatively high income. He has a good relationship with Xu Xianxian.

But in her memory, Uncle Li would pass away from lung cancer in two years, and the official diagnosis might be made at the end of this year.

For a man who has been smoking for more than 20 years, getting lung disease or even cancer is just a matter of probability. Whether Xu Xianxian persuades him or not, the result in two months may not change much.

If it had happened ten years earlier, Uncle Li might have been able to escape.

"Haha...you girl, you know how to care for others!" Uncle Li has an ordinary appearance, with two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth. His eye sockets are sunken due to staying up late for work. His mental state is not very good and he looks a little haggard. After hearing Xu Xianxian's advice, his expression relaxed and he nodded: "Thank you, uncle will smoke less."

He thanked him, took the change and cigarettes, and turned and left.

Xu Xianxian was speechless about the word "girl". After mumbling a few times, she still said nothing and just stared at the other person's back in a daze.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in her enhanced vision, she could vaguely see an obscure black gas lingering behind Uncle Li, which had an ominous smell.

In the past, Xu Xianxian would not have cared about this illusion at all, but after experiencing all kinds of inexplicable things, she became more cautious.

"Hello? What are you daydreaming about, little sister? Are you going to collect the money or not?"

The aunt waiting in front of the cashier looked at Xu Xianxian standing there motionless, a look of impatience on her face, and she knocked on the counter hard.

If the little girl wasn't young and cute, the hot-tempered old lady might have started scolding her.

"Oh... sorry, sorry." Xu Xianxian quickly bowed and apologized, full of sincerity. She took the item and checked it, "Sister, the total is 23.5 yuan."

The sound of her calling "sister" was so sweet, just like the singing of an oriole, and coupled with her cute appearance, this old lady's destroyer was immediately sunk.

Obviously, this aunt is older than Xu Xianxian's mother, but now she is being called "sister". After being praised by the little girl, the aunt's originally ferocious expression immediately relaxed, and her face was full of smiles like a chrysanthemum.

"Okay...here's 24 yuan. No need to change. It's really hard for you, a little girl, to come out and help your elders run the store during your vacation. Use this to buy some candy."

The old lady took the goods, giggled, and walked away twisting her head.

Looking at this posture, it is a typical petty-bourgeois mentality. If the place wasn't too narrow, they might really perform a square dance style song.

Xu Xianxian shook her head and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Her current appearance does not match her age. She looks too young. She is obviously an adult, but her face looks like a junior high school student.

Although I felt a little helpless, I did not stop at the work at hand.

Time passes quickly when working. When Xu Xianxian came back to her senses from her busy schedule, the clock next to her was almost seven o'clock in the evening.
