Chapter 80
Su Miao shook his head and said, "It seems that girl will be beaten when she gets home."
The woman who saved the man stretched out her right hand and said to Su Yu, "Comrade, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I would have died here today."
Su Yu reached out and shook her hand, then quickly let go. "It's nothing. It's all as it should be."
"My name is Meng Yingzi, and my friends all call me Yingzi. What are your names?"
Seeing her cousin's dazed look, Su Miao took over the conversation: "Sister Yingzi, my name is Su Miao, and this is my cousin Su Yu."
"Little sister, where did you learn that CPR thing just now? That's amazing!"
"Um... this is what the teacher in our infirmary taught us."
"I see. I learned another trick today. Su Yu, your clothes are all wet. Go home and change clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
"Sister Yingzi, where do you live? We rode a tricycle. Do you want us to take you home? Your clothes are wet too."
Yingzi waved her hand and said, "I live right in front, it's only a few minutes' walk. No need to see me off. See you later."
Looking at Yingzi's graceful back as she left, Su Yu suddenly sneezed.
"Brother Yu, let's go quickly. Go back and change your clothes and dry your hair."
It was such a hot day that when Su Yu returned home, his hair was almost dry, but his clothes were still wet and stuck to his body.
Su Yuanzheng was shocked to see him like this and quickly asked what happened.
Su Miao asked Su Yu to change his clothes quickly, and she told her father what had just happened.
"Ah! So that's how it is! It's so dangerous! If he hadn't met you, that boy would have been in great danger! Miaomiao, don't run near the water anymore!"
"I know, Dad. I'm a landlubber. I hide when I see water."
Su Yuan was thinking about it, and then he felt something was wrong: "No, you have to learn to swim, otherwise what if... Pah! There is no what if! Anyway, it's better to learn to swim."
"Dad, you told me to stay away from the water and asked me to learn how to swim. Do I have to swim for nothing?"
"Go! You little girl, you're talking nonsense to your dad. When you go to learn swimming, your dad must accompany you and keep an eye on you before you can go. You can't go at other times!"

Tang Ziyi was very efficient and brought several documents in just one day. To thank him, Su Miao invited him to have lunch with her family and they ate their own delicious food.
Tang Ziyi particularly likes to eat braised offal. He said it tastes a bit like Beijing braised pork.
While eating, he pushed a few documents, or rather simple resumes, to Su Miao: "The above is the basic information. If you are interested in any of them, you can ask me. I know all their details."
After a few people looked through it, they found that there were both men and women. Su Miao asked, "Are these female soldiers?"
Tang Ziyi shook his head: "Not entirely. Look! This and this are female logistics soldiers, and these two are military dependents."
Su Miao saw a familiar name on a female soldier's resume. She nudged Su Yu's arm and asked, "Brother Yu, is the Yingzi sister who saved people yesterday called Meng Yingzi?"
Su Yu also came over to look at the resume and nodded: "It seems to be her. Look at the registered home address, it's the same place as yesterday."
Tang Ziyi asked curiously: "Huh? Are there any acquaintances of yours?"
"We're not acquaintances. Yesterday, we were delivering goods, and we rescued a drowning boy from the river together."
Tang Ziyi looked at the name and said, "This person is from Ba County. His parents died young. When he was 14, he came to his aunt's house in Yongcheng and worked as a nanny.
She joined the army at the age of 18 and was sent to the battlefield during the Self-Defense Counterattack War. Unfortunately, her fiancé was killed in the battle to capture a point two years ago. In order to prevent her from being saddened by the scene, the organization withdrew her from the front line.
Originally, she could have stayed in the army, but she said she didn't want to be paid for nothing and insisted on retiring. Now she usually does odd jobs. If you're talking about someone who's hardworking and able to work, she's the right person to choose."
Although Su Miao had a good impression of Sister Yingzi, he didn't make a decision right away: "Can we invite her to the store and have a small interview, giving both parties a chance to get to know each other better?"
Tang Ziyi replied: "That's no problem. I'll have the staff from the resettlement office call her and ask her to come over tomorrow."
The next day, Yingzi came to the store and saw Su Miao and Su Yu. She was also surprised: "It's you?"
Su Miao smiled and said, "Please sit down, Sister Yingzi, is this fate?"
Yingzi looked around the shop, sat down and said, "It's really a coincidence. I heard you're looking for a waiter?"
"Yes, we want to recruit an employee to be responsible for the reception work in the front office."
"Okay, I understand. It's mainly about receiving guests, cleaning, collecting dishes, and so on."
"That's right. This position is more flexible. If my dad and the others are too busy, I'll have to help customers with porridge and dishes, and wash dishes. I wonder what you think about this."
Yingzi thought for a moment and said, "I can do all these jobs, but it's no use just saying it. Can I try working for a few days without getting paid? You can decide whether to hire me after the trial period."
Su Miao and her father exchanged a glance. She hadn't expected her to offer a free trial. Su Miao said, "Sister Yingzi, our family is in the food business, so we have to be more meticulous than others. After all, we're selling food to be eaten, and we hope to have a long-term partnership if it's a good fit."
"Don't worry about that. The resettlement office should have told you about my situation. After I was discharged from the army, I rented a house on Yanxi Road. I don't have any family to take care of at the moment, so my life is relatively simple and I can devote myself to my work. If I can find a long-term, stable job, I will definitely work hard to do it well."
After another conversation, the father and daughter were very satisfied with Yingzi and asked her to come for a trial job the next day.
"Sister Yingzi, then you should come to work tomorrow. We cook lunch and dinner. We usually open the shop at 11 am and close at 8 pm. From 3 pm to 5 pm is the break and preparation time. We cover both lunch and dinner, but we need you to come at 10:30 am to help us prepare before opening."
Yingzi readily agreed: "Okay! No problem! See you tomorrow."
After Yingzi left, Su Yu asked, "Are you really going to let her try out for free?"
Su Miao said, "Of course it will be calculated as wages. Let's not talk about it now. If it's not suitable, we'll pay her on a daily basis. If it's suitable, we'll just add it to her salary when we pay her."
Su Yuanzheng nodded: "Just do as Miaomiao says. Ayu, come into the kitchen."
Su Yu followed Su Yuanzheng into the kitchen and asked, "Uncle? What's going on?"
"I'll teach you how to stir-fry side dishes. I have to make too many now, and I can't handle it all by myself. We only have three pots now, two of which are used for braised food. I'm planning to add another stove. From now on, I'll stir-fry the pork offal while you stir-fry the side dishes. This way, things will be much faster."
Su Yu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He knew what it meant to be able to stir the wok in the kitchen of a restaurant: "Uncle! Miaomiao, don't worry, I will do my best!"
Su Miao encouraged him from the side: "Brother Yu! Come on!"
