Chapter 46 Secondhand Smoke
Otherwise, how could her brother-in-law's salary alone be enough to cover the huge medical expenses for her mother?
Anyang was born in the countryside. Although he is still a student, he is absolutely capable of doing physical work.
Children born in rural areas learn the hardships of life from an early age compared to their peers.
Since her sister has already found a job, she might as well go out with her and earn as much as she can. Otherwise, it would be too hard for her sister to support the family alone.
An Xin looked at her sensible sister and smiled softly.
"If you follow me, who will take care of mom? And we have two naughty brothers. What if they get lost?"
"this……"
An Xin's words left An Yang speechless.
After thinking for a long time, it was indeed as her sister said. Their mother was still lying in bed and needed care, and they had two younger brothers. If she went with them, who would be here to watch over them?
Just be at ease and strike while the iron is hot.
"Okay, don't make trouble. Believe me, I will make enough money in the future so that you can live a good life."
Anyang stomped his feet helplessly, and finally spoke with a distressed look.
"Alas, this is too hard for you, sister!"
How can they support such a big family just by relying on my brother-in-law's salary? Her sister was holding on alone, and Anyang felt even more distressed for Anxin.
Anxin gently stroked her sister's hair and spoke softly.
"Well, as long as you are all good and obedient, take good care of your mother, and study hard in the future, when you all have a promising future, your sister will not feel bitter. Your sister will definitely train you to be talented people."
Anyang: “…”
Why does it feel like her sister has suddenly become a different person during this period of time? Not only is she more responsible than before, but what she says is also very profound and philosophical.
Anyway, what Anyang heard was similar to what their principal said at the opening ceremony, and it was even easier to understand than what their principal said, and it made people more excited and want to pursue a better life.
While Anyang was stunned, Anxin had already patted her on the shoulder and walked away, with only a few words floating in the distance.
"Okay, okay, don't dawdle here, go back quickly, take good care of mom and brother, and remember to make a nutritious soup for mom."
In this era, there were not as many nutrient solutions and various supplements that could be injected into the body as in later generations. People who underwent surgery basically relied on dietary supplements.
She had to go out and earn money, so she could only rely on Anyang to make more nourishing soup for her mother.
Anyway, I took out all the food for the past few days while no one was paying attention and put it in the small rental house. I even took out a lot of extra food so that when I go back home at night, I can take some with me to hide it from others.
Because of a trip to the doctor's office, when An Xin arrived at the alley where Kaizi rented the car, panting, she saw a man leaning against the entrance of the alley from a distance, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He exuded a ruffian and arrogant aura, and the smoke around him blurred his eyebrows.
When Anxin got closer, she realized that the person leaning against the wall was Kaizi. At the same time, Kaizi's eyes swept over lazily, caught Anxin's figure, and spoke casually.
"I say Anxin, you used to be on time when renting a car, but you seem to be late today."
In Kaizi's impression, Anxin has a strong sense of time. Perhaps it is the motivation to make money that drives this girl to come on time every day. He rarely sees Anxin come so late. He has been waiting here for a long time and has thrown several cigarette butts under his feet.
Kaizi was thinking to himself that if Anxin didn't come over after he finished smoking this cigarette, he would leave.
An Xin didn't understand what was going on. She stopped three feet away from Kaizi, looked at the vast smoke, frowned in dissatisfaction, and said,
"What's the matter? Brother Kaizi, I need to rent a car and you have to wait for me at the entrance of the alley."
Yesterday she asked Kaizi to reserve a taxi for her today, but she didn't expect the boss to come to pick her up in person.
In fact, An Xin really doesn’t like secondhand smoke, which has a lot to do with her previous working environment. She used to work for a listed company.
The company is full of senior talents with various degrees, such as PhDs, post-doctoral fellows and sea turtles. Apart from working overtime to make money, the only thing these people have in common is that they don't smoke.
Because smoking not only harms yourself, but also your colleagues. After all, they are all highly qualified talents. It would be terrible if you kill yourself because of smoking!
But who could have imagined that I would travel back to the 1980s? In order to make a living, they are forced to hang out with a group of seemingly gangster brothers. Apart from having a generally gangster temperament and a relatively low level of education, the only thing these people have in common is that they like to smoke. They smoke one cigarette after another, and they wish they could finish a pack of cigarettes in one go.
Take this Kaizi brother in front of us for example. Although he has a good sense of morality in the underworld and it seems that there has never been any case of gangsters robbing other gangsters, he smokes too much. Looking at the cigarette butts under his feet, you can tell that this guy has a heavy addiction to smoking.
Compared to the teasing in Anxin's words, Kaizi didn't take it seriously and asked directly.
"Are you here to drive a taxi today?"
"Um!"
An Xin nodded as a response. After all, it was something they had agreed on yesterday, so it would be a bit redundant to just ask again today.
"Well, Anxin, can I discuss this with you? The batch of goods we pulled yesterday hasn't been completed yet, how about..."
Having said that, Kaizi stopped the topic in a timely manner. She believed that Anxin was so smart that she should know what he wanted to say.
An Xin understood, didn't they just want her to continue to drive the truck with them today?
Kaizi looked at the silent Anxin and couldn't help scratching his head in annoyance.
If the goods are not delivered to the designated location on time and are delayed by one day, there will be a penalty of one thousand yuan. The owner of the goods had clearly emphasized this when signing the contract.
But he only had a few truck drivers, and he couldn't trust the rest, so he could only continue to ask An Xin to drive the truck for them.
Compared to Kaizi's twists and turns in his mind, Anxin obviously didn't want to drive a truck. She hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
"But we have already agreed that you would leave a taxi for me today."
She still prefers driving a taxi because she can make money faster and it's not as tiring as driving a truck. God knows, after she finished driving a truck yesterday, she took a shower as soon as she got home and fell asleep not long after getting into bed.
She even hugged Bai Yichen like a big teddy bear for the whole night and thought she was dreaming. Whenever she thinks about it now, she still feels embarrassed.
