Chapter 35: Holding Shen Junshan and Listening to Complaints
The waiter and the chef ran in to serve the dishes. After the chef tasted the soup, he praised Han Jiaojiao endlessly.
Han Jiaojiao saw Shen Junshan standing at the door. She left the chef and ran to Shen Junshan's side: "It's not even five o'clock yet, why are you here so early?"
Shen Junshan looked at her sweaty face, was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Han Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that she looked very embarrassed: "It's hot next to the stove, I'm sweating a little, I'll go get some water to wash, I'll go get Ah Fang later, you go sit in the private room first."
Shen Junshan held her hand and said, "I have already told Afang's teacher, he will come over by himself in a while."
"Do it yourself? That's fine, I'll go wash up in the back first."
The clerk now looks at Han Jiaojiao as if he is looking at a little Bodhisattva.
When he heard that she wanted to wash her face, he brought some hot water and mixed it with some water for her, and then found a clean cotton cloth for her to wipe her face.
The chef also came over and approached her and said, "Girl, you are a good cook. Where did you learn it?"
"I watched it when I was a child." She made up a story. Anyway, no one would delve into it and there was no way to verify it.
The chef smiled and served her tea: "Girl, which company are you working for now? How much is your monthly salary? Do you want to come work for us? Our state-owned restaurant has good benefits."
Han Jiaojiao knew that there were only two restaurants in the county. Normally, when the unit and the factory had social gatherings and activities, they would order meals from the state-owned restaurants. Therefore, there was no worry about making profits here, and she could also take meals and vegetables home. It was a lucrative job.
But if the food is not tasty enough, you will be criticized by your superiors, and it will be embarrassing.
Han Jiaojiao didn't hate cooking, but she didn't like sweating, and she didn't like being burned by a big stove even more.
The dog days of summer are coming soon, and she doesn't want to be wet and sticky every time she appears in front of Shen Junshan.
"No, my husband earns enough for me to spend."
When Chef Chen saw Shen Junshan just now, he recognized him at a glance.
Chef Chen also knew something about their family, and hurriedly said, "What a man has is not as good as what you have in your pocket, not to mention that Deputy Minister Shen's situation is a bit special. Don't you want to make some money so that everyone thinks that you two are a good match?"
Han Jiaojiao frowned, because Shen Junshan treated her very well, she had space in her hands, she had no worries about food and clothing, and she could also ask the Qiangzi brothers to help her sell things for money.
But this money cannot be used openly and can only be used secretly.
It’s different with state-owned restaurants. They can pay wages, and when the time comes, she can just go there in the open and spend the money openly.
Seeing that she was moved, Chef Chen immediately added, "You can't cook too much. Two dishes a day, twelve dollars a month, and you can take some vegetables home."
"But... I want to study, and your earning money is hindering my schooling."
"Summer vacation is coming soon, and school will have to wait until September. How about I be your temporary worker? Just arrive at 10 am."
Han Jiaojiao thought this condition was not bad, but she didn't want to reply immediately. If she agreed too easily, people would take advantage of her.
Han Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I'll think about it and reply to you later."
"Well, hurry up then, we really want you to come."
After Chef Chen and Manager Zhou watched her leave the kitchen with a smile, Chef Chen asked in confusion, "I heard people say she was stupid before. Do you think she is stupid?"
Manager Zhou: "Humph, if this is a fool, I am a donkey!"
…
Han Jiaojiao walked out of the kitchen and came to the private room.
It is called a private room, but in fact it is just a separate room without even a door. There is just a half curtain hung on the door frame to block the view into the room.
Han Jiaojiao was small in stature, so she lowered her head and squeezed in.
Shen Junshan quickly stood up and pulled out a chair: "Thank you for your hard work."
"You've said it twice! Try the turtle I cooked. I was so scared when I was killing it today. It took me a long time."
Han Jiaojiao picked up a small piece of meat, blew on it, and brought it to his mouth: "I put some chili in it, not much, you try it."
Shen Junshan felt embarrassed, so he secretly bent down to look outside, and ate immediately when no one was around.
Han Jiaojiao said excitedly: "Is it delicious?"
"Mmm, it's delicious! Jiaojiao, you are such a great cook."
"Who am I? I can learn anything I like! If I go to school in the future, I will definitely be the top student in the grade, maybe even the top student in the city. Do you believe it?"
The corners of Shen Junshan's mouth rose slightly. Seeing her inexplicably confident look, he actually agreed with her ridiculous words.
"Hubby!" Han Jiaojiao came over and hugged his neck: "Next semester, I want to go to school, is that okay?"
Shen Junshan said nothing, and his smile froze.
She hugged me tighter and said, "I also want to experience high school life. If you think it's not suitable, I can start with night school."
Before Shen Junshan could answer, Zhong Shun came in from outside, cursing: "Brother, are you really related to them? Why is there such a big difference? You... Han Jiaojiao, you shameless little thing, let my brother go!"
Zhong Shun wanted to close the door, but after searching frantically for a long time he couldn't find the door, so he opened his arms and used his body to block the outside.
It doesn't matter if Han Jiaojiao is arrested as a morally corrupt person, but we can't let his brother be arrested as a hooligan.
Zhong Shun trembled with anger: "Han Jiaojiao, how can you be so shameless! What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
Han Jiaojiao: "I want to hug my husband. We are husband and wife. Is hugging against the law?"
Zhong Shun was choked for a moment: "It's not against the law to fall, but it's not good for others to see it, so let go and sit still!"
Han Jiaojiao reluctantly let go of Shen Junshan. According to her memory, Zhong Shun and Shen Junshan had a very good relationship. As long as Shen Junshan said, Zhong Shun would definitely do it. He would also take the initiative to help and always consider Shen Junshan's interests.
Compared to Shen Jinbao and his sister, Zhong Shun is more like Shen Junshan's younger brother.
Han Jiaojiao gave Zhong Shun face just for this reason and sat obediently on Shen Junshan's left: "You took them to the hotel this afternoon, but didn't bring them for dinner?"
"Don't mention it!"
Zhong Shun gulped down two cups of herbal tea and complained, "When we got to the hotel, I booked the two best rooms. The three of them actually ridiculed us from head to toe in front of others. They even packed up the bed sheets when no one was paying attention, and insisted that no one had made the bed for them! This is public property. I almost sent them to the police station!"
Shen Junshan frowned and saw Han Jiaojiao laughing beside him. He sighed helplessly.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will apologize to them later."
"How can I let you go for such a small matter? I've already taken care of it! But after I sent them to the hotel entrance, that brat wanted to buy cigarettes again. I was annoyed, so I let them go first."
Han Jiaojiao was curious: "Shen Jinbao is not even 18 yet, he can't smoke, and he needs money to exchange for cigarettes, where did he get the tobacco rolls?"
"Of course I gave it to you. Where else could it have come from?"
The more Zhong Shun thought about it, the angrier he became. It wasn't that he felt bad for the tobacco rolls, because neither he nor his father smoked, and the little they saved was just to buy a few packs to entertain guests during the New Year.
But the attitude of those three people really made him uncomfortable.
If he wasn't his brother's relative, he would have beaten him up long ago!
