Chapter 103: Boxed lunch opens, Zhu Xiulian is recognized
"An Nuan, I know my foundation is poor, but I'm also working hard. You said we are classmates, buddies, and brothers. You and Tian Tian left me behind to do things. Are we still buddies and brothers?" Li Xiong complained. He had a lot of things he wanted to say to An Nuan since yesterday.
It was not Mu Sheng who took over the milk tea, but Ji Linchen, Xu Jiao and the younger students stopped him.
He had been thinking about today's welcome ceremony all night last night and wanted her to praise him.
As a result, she just watched it for two seconds, as if she couldn't feel what kind of mood he had in this ceremony.
An Nuan frowned, not knowing why Li Xiong had become so clingy, but she didn't want to hide it from him, so she said, "I'm going to my dad's construction site. He and Aunt Xiu are selling lunch boxes today, so I have to go and see." As for Tian Tian, An Nuan wouldn't tell Li Xiong. She was going to find the person who sponsored her.
This is the first step for Tian Tian to change her destiny, and she can only rely on herself.
Li Xiong exclaimed, "Uncle An has switched to selling boxed lunches?"
"No, he's helping Aunt Xiu. He's getting familiar with the environment first. He'll eventually go back to the construction site." An Nuan corrected him. Li Xiong was even more confused. "Who is Aunt Xiu? Shouldn't it be..." Li Xiong glanced at Ji Linchen, who was sitting in his seat and hadn't yet gone to the cafeteria, and asked, "Aunt Wu?"
Could it be that Uncle An and Aunt Wu also broke up?
But that’s true, An Nuan and Ji Linchen broke up, there’s no reason for two adults not to break up too.
An Nuan didn't explain much to him. "Stop gossiping and go do your homework. I'm leaving."
"No, I want to go too. I haven't met Aunt Xiu yet." Li Xiong picked up his schoolbag and chased after An Nuan.
Ji Linchen's pupils flashed with displeasure. In the past, no matter whether it was before or after class, the person An Nuan chased after was always him. Li Xiong, a single-minded person, showed it too obviously.
"Jiaojiao, let's go eat outside."
His mother sent him some money yesterday, telling him to study hard for the college entrance exam and not to eat the food in the cafeteria if it didn't taste good.
In fact, no one brought him food.
Xu Jiao smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."
She put away the phone that had just sent the message to Lao Wu, saying that An Nuan went to the construction site to see her father and sell lunch boxes.
Holding Ji Linchen's arm, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever you want to eat, I want to eat."
The two of them talked sweetly all the way.
An's father worked at Jinyuan, which was developed by the Mu Group a month ago.
It’s a new property with a lot of work to do. Not only are there few restaurants nearby, but they’re also expensive.
Yesterday, when An's father and Zhu Xiu Lian were buying ingredients, they discussed where to open the store today.
Father An suggested that he could call his co-workers one by one at Jinyuan, where he had just started working, and make appointments for them to wait for him at noon.
Zhu Xiu Lian was a little nervous. She was used to serving the Zhu family of more than a dozen people, but she was still flustered when facing dozens of workers.
An's father told her not to be nervous, saying that everything has a beginning. Today was the first day of opening, and her coworkers were giving her face, so if there was anything wrong with the food, she could point it out. After a while, she would get to know their tastes.
Father An had some selfish motives. First, he wanted to help Zhu Xiu Lian become self-reliant as soon as possible; second, his fellow workers would also have safe food to eat.
We all work and earn money through hard work and conscience. For hard laborers like them, a good meal means the world.
"Old An, I'm here. I asked all the brothers to come over." The person who greeted An's father was Xu Da, An's father's long-time friend. He was also the uncle who called An Nuan in the previous life to tell her that An's father was in the hospital.
He was the one who introduced Wu Qingqing.
He always felt guilty towards An's father, and he himself did not expect that Wu Qingqing could drag An's father for so long. If he had known this earlier, he would not have had such an idea.
When I got his call last night, he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I won't gossip. Bring her over at noon and I'll let the brothers try it first. It's not easy for everyone, and the money will go to others anyway. The person your Lao An arranged must be a good cook. It will be a big help to the brothers to solve the problem of food."
Zhu Xiu Lian changed back into Jiang Cheng's plaid shirt and pants. Xu Da was an honest man and also a contractor. Because of the way An's father got along with Wu Qingqing over the years, he turned a blind eye to it. Whenever An's father had something to do, the first person he would think of was Xu Da.
"Sister, my name is Xu Da, and I'm the same age as Lao An. Just call me Brother Da. Lao An has told me all about your situation, so I won't waste any words. Brothers, treat me like your own sister. I've had a box lunch today, so if you have any questions, just ask. Sister, you're new here, so please help us if you need to. Sister, go get some food, I'll have them line up."
Zhu Xiulian responded, "Okay, Brother Da, thank you."
An Nuan still couldn't get rid of Li Xiong, so she had to bring Li Xiong to the construction site. As soon as she arrived, she saw her father and Aunt Xiu were busy and no one was helping.
An Nuan called out, "Dad, Aunt Xiu, uncle, and brothers, how is the food?"
The workers had seen An Nuan before. Xu Da had food in his mouth, but he still said, "It's delicious, Nuan Nuan. Your dad has been a great help this time."
The other workers said, "Yes, Sister Lian, your cooking skills are better than Lao An's. We are so lucky. It's a pity that you only sell lunch."
It was the first time that Zhu Xiu Lian was praised like this.
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes moistened. "Thank you, I will do better. If you need anything else, just scoop it out yourself."
