Chapter 15 After working hard to move bricks

, it was finally time to finish the evening shift. Nan Jingyi and He Fang made an appointment to wait at the gate of the hospital at 1:45 and agreed to go home together.

He Fang lives in the community opposite Nan Jingyi, and both of them happen to work the evening shift today.

Su Jiali also works the night shift today. She sleeps in the nurse's duty room after get off work and takes the bus back tomorrow morning.

Some considerate boyfriends would come to the hospital to pick me up in the middle of the night. Some picked me up on bicycles, and some on motorcycles. In 1990, private cars were not yet common.

Picking up your girlfriend from work or night shift is the most direct way for boyfriends to express their love. It is also a unique scene at the entrance of various hospitals every night.

He Fang is a nurse who joined last year and works in the obstetrics and gynecology department. She has just turned 20. She is enthusiastic, loves to laugh and make trouble, loves gossip, and can't hide things in her heart. She knows all the fresh gossip from other departments, so she is nicknamed "Little Broadcaster".

He Fang and Nan Jingyi were in the same school in high school and had known each other since junior high school. He Fang's brother He Hong was also Nan Jingyi's suitor. He Fang often joked that Nan Jingyi was her sister-in-law.

"Nan Jingyi, you don't know how miserable I am tonight! I was busy from work to get off work, and two expectant mothers came at the same time. I was exhausted!" He Fang complained as soon as they met.

"There are probably so many babies recently. My class tonight was not peaceful. An aunt slipped and fell in the toilet. Fortunately, she was not injured." Nan Jingyi was still a little scared when she recalled just now.

The two of them chatted while riding their bikes. There was not a single pedestrian on the road in the quiet night. Fortunately, there were bright street lights to guide them along the way.

"We finally got off work safely. We're home, please be safe! Let's go shopping together someday when we're free!" He Fang waved goodbye.

"Okay, so are you! Stay safe!"

Nan Jingyi returned home, immediately washed her hands and entered the space, starting her nightly routine of preparations.

According to Jiangnan Banquet’s order for tomorrow, all the dishes of Jiangnan Banquet need to be stacked on the tricycle in the space, and then the vegetables prepared for mother are picked and put into baskets.

Assistant Xiaopi is already familiar with these things. He has almost prepared them in advance and is just waiting for Nan Jingyi to come to check.

Nan Jingyi was responsible for checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. She praised Xiaopi well and hurried upstairs to take a bath and sleep. She would get up early to move bricks tomorrow.

Xiaopi was sleeping next to her, and after a while his snoring sounded.

Nan Jingyi smiled and admired Xiaopi's sleeping posture, so cute!

In the early morning, Nan Jingyi was woken up by the alarm clock and hurried out of the room to wash up. Her mother Zheng Juan had already washed her clothes and was preparing to make breakfast.

"Mom! I have a break from work today and will go directly to the vegetable market at 7:30. Don't worry, you can come to the market later."

"Okay, take your time! Pay attention to safety on the road." Zheng Juan is now very relieved about her daughter. of.

In the past, my daughter was willful and had her own way of doing things. But in the past month, my daughter seems to have grown up suddenly, becoming very filial and capable! They say a daughter is her mother’s little cotton-padded jacket, and it’s really true.

When Nan Jingyi was almost walking to Qiyi Road, she turned into the space and took out the tricycle filled with vegetables. She soon arrived at Jiangnan Banquet. Today, Boss Huo and his wife were waiting at the door.

"Boss Huo, Sister Zhu, morning! I'm not late, right?"

Boss Huo said hurriedly, "Morning! Xiaonan, you're not late. I've been looking for you all night!"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Boss Huo continued , "It's like this. Yesterday, a customer was very satisfied with his meal. Last night, he made a temporary reservation for ten tables tonight, but his pager never got through. No, I came here early to wait for you. Today's order volume needs to be increased."

Nan Jing Yi looked at the pager. It turned out that she was too busy working the night shift yesterday and forgot to charge it. "Sorry, Boss Huo, I didn't notice that the pager was out of power. Sorry!"

Zhu Yin said, "Xiaonan, after adding an order today, I charged 8,000 yuan. I'll give you 20 pounds of vegetables, 20 mandarin fish and 20 soft-shell turtles later!"

"Yes, Xiao Nan, please make another trip. I'll give you an extra three hundred yuan for the 8,000 yuan payment. The red envelope is used as payment for hard work, thank you!" Boss Huo felt a big stone fall in his heart when he saw Nan Jingyi.

During this period, Jiangnan Banquet's business was unprecedentedly good, with the addition of a chef and a waiter. The proprietress Zhu Yin also often helped with the dishes, otherwise it would be too busy.

Diners have unanimously praised the taste of his dishes, especially the taste of fish and vegetables, which can only be described as "fresh"! The business of the two restaurants next door plummeted.

Zhu Yin counted money every night until her hands cramped, so she bought two money counting machines. She now wished she could worship Nan Jingyi as a living Buddha.

"Okay, you're welcome. I happen to be free today, but it will be a little later, from 8:30 to 9:00. If it is normal, I can only deliver it once." Nan Jingyi counted the money and put it in her bag.

Then she changed her route to the farmer's market, collected the money into the space when no one was around, and took the prepared vegetables out to the farmer's market.

Nan Jingyi didn't have time to come over a few days ago, and today she planned to visit Uncle Zeng, the market manager and her good neighbor.

Uncle Zeng added one meter to the width of her stall and did not increase the rent. She must thank him.

She had just sorted and arranged the dishes, but Zheng Juan arrived early. Zheng Juan was worried that her daughter's hunger would be bad for her stomach.

"Jingyi, the egg pancakes made this morning are still warm, eat them while they're hot!" Only mothers are good in the world, and Zheng Juan couldn't bear to let her daughter work hard even if she was a little tired.

Nan Jingyi took a big bite of the egg pancake and said, "Hmm, Mom! The pancakes you make are so delicious!"

She packed two large grass carps, three kilograms of strawberries, and five kilograms of apples in bags and went to the market office to deliver them to Uncle Zeng.

Uncle Zeng was very happy to see her, "Xiao Nan, I heard from Chen Xiao that you performed well in the hospital!"

"Uncle Zeng, thank you for your praise! I just joined the job and I don't understand a lot. Now I am learning from my class. My biggest wish I can go to surgery and work with Teacher Chen in the future. "Nan Jingyi is modest and polite, no wonder everyone likes her.

"My mother asked me to bring this. You can take it back to brother Liangliang to eat." Nan Jingyi put the fish, strawberries and apples in the office, turned around and left.

Zeng Jianshe was willing to accept her, so he chased her out. When he saw that she had already run away, he had no choice but to accept her.

"What a sensible girl."

Nan Jingyi remembered that there was an order yet to be delivered, "Mom, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll cook for lunch!"

Several people came to Zheng Juan's stall to ask about the price. She stood up hurriedly, "Yeah, go ahead and get busy!"

Nan Jingyi brought the tricycle into the space to prepare Boss Huo's additional orders. With Xiaopi's help, it was quickly prepared and delivered to Jiangnan Banquet.

It was almost nine o'clock when I finished unloading the vegetables, and all the stores along Qiyi Road were basically open.

She took the tricycle back into space.

The morning sun was getting hotter and hotter, Nan Jingyi thought to herself, fortunately she was fully equipped for delivering goods every day, including a big straw hat, sunglasses, and her mother's long-sleeved floral shirt.

The main reason is that I don’t want to be recognized by others, and I can also protect myself from the sun, otherwise I will really get a tan.

She was walking back at a faster speed, and just as she turned a corner, she was blocked by a person in front of her.

She took a closer look and saw a fat aunt with a smile on her face and a very friendly look.

I don’t know him!

"Are you... okay?"

The fat aunt said with a smile on her face and a northern accent, "Sister, I recognize you, you are the girl who delivers food to Jiangnan Banquet every day."
