Chapter 4292: Stand Up on Your Own
"I want you to help me Raba alone."
"Who? It can't be the punching bag that came today."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Chef Xu said, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, because she didn't expect Chef Xu to use the word "punching bag" to describe Liu.
But looking at Liu's expression just now, she really looked like a punching bag.
So she didn't correct Chef Xu's address, but nodded to Chef Xu directly, and then said, "The person I want you to help with is Aunt Liu.
Originally, the factory assigned Aunt Liu the job of helping in the kitchen, but I just saw Aunt Liu washing dishes, which is obviously not Aunt Liu's job.
I think someone saw that Aunt Liu was new and thought she was easy to bully, so they assigned her their job."
Chef Xu's eyes flashed when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, because Lu Xiaoxiao was right about everything she said. However, this was a common occurrence in their kitchen, and he had long been accustomed to it.
But now that Lu Xiaoxiao has brought the matter out into the open, he can no longer pretend not to have seen it.
So he assured Lu Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, since Liu's job is to help in the kitchen, no one can replace her. I will let her return to her job in the afternoon."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
"It's just a matter of words. You don't have to be so polite."
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled after hearing what Chef Xu said, and then she took out a bottle of medicinal wine from her bag and handed it to Chef Xu.
Then he said to Chef Xu, "Uncle Xu, didn't you say last time that your hands often get sore from tossing the wok? I just happen to have a bottle of medicine that can relieve hand soreness, which is just right for you."
"Thank you. I didn't expect that you would remember a casual remark I made. What can I say?"
"This is not what I should do. I have been working in the factory for so long and you have taken good care of me."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Chef Xu couldn't stop smiling. He then reached out and patted Lu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Remember to come back more often when you have time. I'll make delicious food for you then."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you from working." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she and Liu Ermei left the kitchen and walked towards the cafeteria hall.
"Xiaoxiao, you were so awesome just now. If it weren't for you, I don't know how my mother would have been ostracized." Liu Ermei said to Lu Xiaoxiao after entering the cafeteria hall.
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao stopped and said to Liu Ermei, "Second sister, I asked Chef Xu to help look after Aunt Liu today, but it can only be done temporarily, and it cannot allow Aunt Liu to gain a foothold in the kitchen.
So if Aunt Liu wants to gain a foothold in the kitchen, she has to rely on herself. If she can’t stand up on her own, she will eventually be bullied.”
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister nodded and said, "I understand. I will talk to my mother tonight and ask her not to always be so good-tempered and let others bully her."
"Well, go get your food. I'll be waiting for you at the table over there."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei said okay, and then she went to queue up for food.
It was half an hour later when she came back after getting the meal, so she said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay, just eat. I'll go home when you finish."
"Okay." Liu Ermei quickly started eating after she finished speaking.
