Chapter 9: The little girl who doesn't feel at a disadvantage when she is being polite
Shen Junshan: …
He took two big bites of the bun, some of the vegetable stuffing got on his mouth, and the soup flowed to the corners of his mouth.
Han Jiaojiao immediately picked up the rag on the table and wiped his mouth.
Unexpectedly, he used too much force and a smell of rag rushed into Shen Junshan's mouth.
Shen Junshan blinked and looked at Han Jiaojiao who was completely unaware, without saying a word.
Han Jiaojiao finished wiping, put down the rag and said, "I remember there is a shuttle bus in the hospital. It's a welfare for family members, right? It passes by your unit. I'll take the bus with you."
"Are you going out again?"
"I got up early today, and the lunch market at Dongmentou has opened. I've never been there before, so I wanted to go shopping and buy some things. What do you think?"
At the lunch market in Dongtou, you can not only buy but also exchange items. It is held twice a month.
Many people go there early in the morning to wait, hoping to exchange for something cheap and good.
Han Jiaojiao didn't need anything, she just wanted to go shopping, so she didn't go so early.
Shen Junshan nodded and took out ten yuan from his purse and gave it to her: "You can spend money on shopping, but remember to come back on time and don't run off with anyone."
Han Jiaojiao was speechless: "Do I look like a nymphomaniac? Do I?"
Shen Junshan: “…” He didn’t dare to speak and silently gave two more dollars.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Shen Junshan and Han Fang’s eyes were a little pitiful.
Han Jiaojiao urged them to finish eating quickly, and she packed up some scraps of cloth to take with her.
After all, if you go to the lunch market to barter, you always have to bring something with you just to make it look like you're doing it.
Shen Junshan glanced at the time and said, "The bus is coming. Go down and give them the tickets. You can save an extra seat for me to come."
He gave her two tickets.
Residents in the compound can take the shuttle bus twenty times a month for free, and each household is allocated a number of people.
Their family has eighty tickets every month.
In the past, because she didn't take the bus, Shen Junshan gave her share to a neighbor.
Han Jiaojiao was holding two tickets and was curious. She saw the small label on them and said excitedly, "What is this? Why is there a little heart on it?"
"I don't want to get confused when issuing invoices, so each store has a picture to distinguish them."
“That’s pretty thoughtful.”
Han Jiaojiao held it in her hands, smiling happily as if she had received a high-end custom-made item, and went downstairs.
Han Fang shook his head: "Brother-in-law, look, my sister is still silly. She smiles like a fool."
"Yeah, silly."
Shen Junshan returned to the kitchen and crushed the things in the garbage bag. Fearing that they were not fine enough, he used the roller at hand to crush the things into even smaller pieces. Only after he was sure that their original appearance could not be recognized did he dispose of them.
Han Jiaojiao ran to the door and saw that there were still three seats available. She excitedly handed two tickets to the conductor: "Junshan and I."
Everyone in the yard knew that she was a little idiot, and they also knew that she was always making trouble with Shen Junshan, so they didn't have a good face towards her.
Hearing that she and Shen Junshan were going out together, everyone in the car looked at her in surprise.
Han Jiaojiao was about to get on the bus when a figure suddenly flashed by. The figure pushed Han Jiaojiao away with his body, blocked the door and shouted, "Amin, you two hurry up, there are still seats."
Han Jiaojiao frowned, Chen Amin? How come he is from their family again?
Han Jiaojiao pushed the old lady away unhappily. Old lady Liu looked at her in surprise, but didn't take Han Jiaojiao seriously and continued to greet Chen Amin.
"Amin, Xiaofeng, you two should hurry up, the car is about to leave."
Chen Amin and a girl of similar age hurried over from the opposite direction.
Just as he was about to get in the car, Han Jiaojiao flashed and blocked the door with one foot already on the car.
Aunt Liu's face immediately darkened: "What are you doing! Don't you see that others are about to get on the bus? Get out of the way and don't waste everyone's time."
When Chen Amin saw that it was her, she said bluntly, "You big fool, everyone has to go to work, why are you joining in the fun?"
"That's weird. How do you know I'm fine? Are you monitoring my house?"
Han Jiaojiao taunted, "It was you at noon yesterday, and your sister at night. You came here again early this morning. Are you trying to take advantage of my family?"
Being said like this in public, Chen Amin's face turned red with embarrassment.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu rolled up her sleeves and yelled, "This bus is owned by the government. Anyone with a ticket can get on it. Who the hell do you think you are to block the door?"
"I've taken up two seats. The tickets have already been given. If you two come, the car will be overloaded. You must be the next one."
The buses outside are stuffing passengers in through the windows, but the shuttle buses in the compound are all one person at a time.
There can be empty seats, but there must not be too many people standing.
Aunt Liu swung the ticket in her hand and shouted, "What are you doing out there, you idiot? You're wasting your seat and causing trouble!"
A sister-in-law on the bus couldn't stand it and whispered, "Do you have to be stupid or not when riding a bus? Jiaojiao got here first and paid for her ticket. You guys are just cutting in line."
"Other people get deducted money for being late for work, but she is a lazy person, why should she compete with others? Isn't it just occupying the toilet without taking a shit?"
The car was quiet again.
It is true that Han Jiaojiao is fine.
It seems that I really shouldn’t compete for the car with people on the early shift.
Han Jiaojiao smiled.
"Why didn't you get up earlier when you knew you were going to be late? It's not appropriate to blame others for your own laziness."
Han Jiaojiao grabbed Aunt Liu's dangling wrist and snatched the ticket away.
Her smile widened.
"I wonder why Aunt Liu is so kind to give her own tickets to people outside. It seems like she is using other people's tickets to do favors."
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu shouted guiltily.
Han Jiaojiao didn't indulge her, she shook the bill and said, "Every family's bill in our courtyard has a shape mark, your bill is also a small heart."
Chen Amin was dissatisfied and said, "What's wrong with the heart pattern? Isn't it okay for Sister Liu's house to have this mark?"
"Oh? That's weird. Auntie Liu's house and my house have the same sign. Tsk, tsk, tsk, is it a mistake made by the logistics? Then I'll go ask carefully."
There were snickering sounds coming from inside the car.
Everyone knew that Shen Junshan was generous and often gave away his unused money to others.
Some people really used it for their own use, while others sold it to others with the money.
The bus in the county town has a tiered fare. If your company doesn't buy you a monthly pass, it will cost you 20 cents to take the bus every day. If you take a bus with a tiered fare, it may cost you 40 cents.
Five or six dollars a month is not a small amount.
Han Jiaojiao said, "We have 30 or 40 extra tickets this month. You want to take them all, right? Aunt Liu, how much did you sell them for?"
"Bullshit, stop talking nonsense. I... I'm just warm-hearted. I can't give it to others!"
"What's the matter? Is Chen Amin your future daughter-in-law? You are so shameless to use other people's money to do favors!"
Chen Amin was furious and blurted out: "You are talking nonsense! I gave you 1.5 yuan!"
"One dollar and five cents a month. You really know how to run a business."
Han Jiaojiao looked at Aunt Liu with a half-smile and tore up the bills gracefully.
