He said a little disappointedly, "I originally wanted to wait for the eldest brother to be discharged from the hospital and let you come to live with me, but I didn't expect that you would be so thoughtful and even buy a house."
Jin Zhengtai looked at Lin Min with eyes full of admiration and envy at the same time.
I envy the eldest brother for being able to marry such a beautiful and capable wife.
He was dreaming in his heart that he would ask his sister-in-law to introduce him to someone in the future.
Introduce someone who is as capable as her.
"Sister-in-law, no problem. I'll go with you next morning."
Jin Zhengtai naturally agreed to Lin Min's request unconditionally and happily.
"Hey, thank you, Xiao Jin. Let's meet at the credit union in front of the military hospital this morning."
She went to get the money.
"Can."
…
As soon as Lin Yongqiang got off work in the afternoon, he went to the Sichuan restaurant to find Li Qiumei with great interest.
Li Qiumei hadn't gotten off work yet and was still washing dishes in the kitchen. Her hands were frozen.
Lin Yongqiang felt that he would be able to make a lot of money soon, so it was no big deal for him to come here for a meal today.
I sat down directly and ordered two main dishes.
I also ordered a bowl of rice.
The waiter in the restaurant knew Lin Yongqiang and knew that he was the son of the dishwasher in the kitchen.
After serving the dishes to Lin Yongqiang and going to the kitchen, he casually mentioned to Li Qiumei that her son had arrived.
Li Qiumei sat on a small stool on the floor in the back kitchen. In front of her was a large stainless steel basin filled with dishes. In this era, automatic dishwashers were not popular.
The dishes are washed manually.
Li Qiumei has a very heavy workload every day.
Especially at mealtime, she would wash non-stop.
In the middle of winter, my hands were covered with frostbite and my fingers were cracked.
She wasn't the only one in the restaurant. The waiter's hands were also frozen.
When they returned to the dormitory at night, they washed their faces with hot water and soap, applied some oil, and then wrapped them in plastic bags and dried them the next morning.
However, they have to come into contact with water during the day, and, for a job like Li Qiumei's, her hands basically never have to get out of dishwashing water all day.
In the past, she was at home and rarely went into the kitchen. These words were all from Lin Min. When Lin Min was in school, she would just reluctantly cook and would send Lin Jinshun or Lin
Delicate wash.
I have never been offended so much.
Recently, it has been nine days since the beginning of the ninth lunar month and the weather has been getting colder and colder. Li Qiumei is beginning to feel unable to hold on any longer.
I plan to talk to Tang Jingshu about changing jobs.
The most capable and capable one is to make money and be a nanny.
Although being a nanny involves working and cooking, it is definitely not as hard as this, and the environment is much better than that of a restaurant. After all, families who can afford a nanny are definitely not ordinary people.
family.
At this moment, Li Qiumei was enduring the sore pain from the cracks on her hands being irritated by detergent as she washed a stack of plates that the waiter had just brought in.
The chef in the kitchen was still urging, "Hey, Li Qiumei, please speed up. It's almost time for dinner. Why haven't you washed that basin of dishes yet?"
Li Qiumei heard the chef's urging and answered, "Right away, right away." while sitting on a small stool and bending over.
"Sister Li, your son is here." The waiter came in, saw her and said casually.
"What? My Yongqiang is here?" Li Qiumei raised her head in surprise and looked at her when she heard the waitress' words.
The waiter's voice was somewhat sarcastic, "Yes, I'm waiting outside for the food to be served. I ordered a few hard dishes."
When Li Qiumei heard that Lin Yongqiang was coming to the restaurant, the first thing he did was not to look for her, but to order food and eat. She was so angry that her face was distorted.
Of course, what she was more afraid of was that the prodigal son Lin Yongqiang would come to the restaurant to eat and the meal money would be deducted from her salary.
She only earns 150 yuan a month.
If he came to eat more often, and acted like a big shot and ordered more dishes, her entire monthly salary would be deducted.
Li Qiumei became anxious and decided to go out and take a look.
She stood up and turned around in a hurry, but accidentally kicked over a pile of plates that she had just washed and had not yet put on the chopping board.
There was a clang...
A pile of plates fell down and broke into pieces!
The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.
The restaurant's chef is the boss's younger brother, a man in his thirties. His surname is Zhang, and everyone calls him Master Zhang.
His appearance fits the saying, with a big head and thick neck, he is either a rich man or a cook.
Master Zhang's fat body was wearing a large chef's uniform. He was full of fat, and he wore thick clothes in winter. The oversized chef's uniform still looked very
It was tight, as if it could be stretched apart with a little force.
He had a gloomy face, and when he saw the debris on the ground, he began to scold Li Qiumei without any courtesy, "Li Qiumei, how do you work? I told you to wash the dishes faster.
. If you fall down and smash it directly, what else can you do in a day? "
Li Qiumei felt cold and scared. She trembled and nodded to admit her mistake. "Chef, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."
The chef's fat face was shaking with anger. "You are so careless in your work, I can fire you."
"Master Zhang, please don't fire me. I really didn't mean it. I will pay attention in the future and will never make the same mistake again." The salary is about to be paid, and I can't be fired at this time.
remove.
"Count the number of broken plates and deduct it from your salary." After saying this, Master Zhang looked at Li Qiumei again and said in a stern tone, "Why don't you clean up quickly?"
"Tut, Tut." Li Qiumei was furious about the deduction of her salary, but she dared not say anything.
I could only use a broom and dustpan to sweep up the debris.
Lin Yongqiang's meal had been served. He asked the waiter who served him the meal, "Where's my mom? Is she done with her work?"
The waiter replied, "Your mother broke a plate and is being scolded by the chef. She might be fired."
"What?" Lin Yongqiang was anxious when he heard this. "Expelled?"
He didn't bother to eat. He put down his chopsticks, got up and went to the kitchen.
"Hey, you can't go over there." Customers are not allowed to enter the kitchen at will.
Lin Yongqiang never cared about these things. If Li Qiumei came and no one brought him a message, he would just rush straight to the kitchen.
For this, Li Qiumei was criticized several times by the head chef.
Li Qiumei reminded Lin Yongqiang several times, but today when he came, he was tactful enough not to go to the back, but to sit and eat while waiting for people to get off work.
At this moment, hearing that his mother would be fired, he rushed in without caring about anything else.
Finally, when he entered, he saw his mother sweeping up the broken pieces of the dishes, and the head chef was cursing beside her.
He said some unpleasant things and asked her to pay for the dishes.
When Li Qiumei went to pick up the fragments, she accidentally cut her hand.
The blood gushed out immediately.
Master Zhang became even angrier and looked at her with disdain, "Look at what you can do? You broke a plate, swept up the debris, and cut your hand!"
"Mom!" Lin Yongqiang ran over, squatted down, and looked at her hand, "What's going on?"
"I accidentally knocked over the plate."
"What do you mean by careless? I think you did it on purpose, deliberately being lazy!" Master Zhang scolded beside him.
