Chapter 40 Being Instigated
After finishing the work and waiting for the guests outside to leave, the people in the kitchen started to clean up.
Li Xiaomei is cleaning the front, and there are a few people in the back kitchen, usually Li Yongtao.
Most master chefs wouldn't do this kind of work, and Lin Xiuzhen didn't want to do it either.
So this job was given to Li Yongtao.
Fortunately, people at that time were relatively simple and honest, knowing that they were here to learn something. Even if they got in through connections, they would just accept their fate and clean up the mess, thinking that they were here to learn something.
Lin Xiuzhen is old and feels like she can finally relax.
Fortunately, I brought an extra set of clothes when I went out in the morning. If this set gets wet, I have another set.
Everyone can take a break at noon, and at three or four o'clock, they have to prepare dinner again.
Lin Xiuzhen doesn't need to be here at night. After helping to prepare everything, she gets off work at three or four o'clock.
The rest of the work will be left to others.
On the way back, Lin Xiuzhen could also take some leftovers from lunch or some things that were specially left behind from the store.
Then I went home happily.
This is also a routine operation in state-owned restaurants.
When she got home, Gu Chunlan was the only one at home. Lin Xiuzhen was so tired that her legs were weak and she just sat on the stool and couldn't get up.
Gu Chunlan hurriedly went to pour some water. After gulping down a large bowl of water, Lin Xiuzhen finally felt that she was alive again.
"Mom, are you tired?"
"It's OK, but it's tiring to walk so much on the road."
Lin Xiuzhen took a breath and then waved her hand and said.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it later. Where's your second sister?"
"My second sister took my younger brother to work in the fields, so we had some food at noon."
"You are in such a bad condition now, you should eat more meat to replenish your body. I will heat it up for you. You can eat this first, so that your brother won't have to snatch food from you later."
After saying that, Lin Xiuzhen went to the kitchen to heat up the food she brought back, and then gave it to Gu Chunlan.
"So many? Mom, are the benefits of this state-owned hotel so good?"
"That's right. These are what our master left for himself. He took them home when he got off work. We are taking advantage of them."
Lin Xiuzhen only found out today that when cooking, she would leave a little extra and then take it home directly when she got off work.
This has almost become an unspoken agreement here.
Gu Chunlan was very touched because she had never had the chance to eat these things before.
It is also thanks to my mother that I can eat such delicious meals.
It was getting late, so Lin Xiuzhen thought about starting cooking.
Just as she was finishing cooking, Gu Xialin came back with Gu Jiabao, who looked listless.
"Mom, my little brother and I are back."
"Well, I'll help you when I get back."
It was obviously someone calling Gu Jiabao.
Gu Jiabao looked resistant, but there was nothing he could do and was pulled into the kitchen by Gu Xialin.
"Help me pick the vegetables. There are some things here. Lao Er, boil the water. We just need to heat it up when the time comes."
"Okay mom, there are so many things in the state-owned restaurant today?"
Gu Xialin's eyes were sparkling.
I can't take my eyes away.
It looks like there is a lot of meat in here, so it seems the benefits are very good.
"Yes, I'll try to bring back more things later. Do you have bamboo shoots today?"
"Yes, mother. When I was looking for bamboo shoots, I also saw some wild peaches on the tree. This one looks a little red. I'll give it to you tonight."
Gu Xialin was so flattering.
"good!"
Lin Xiuzhen didn't care about the child's attitude towards her.
Lin Xiuzhen has long known that the second child has the character of a mother who only cares about whoever feeds her.
She's just a little silly. Now let's find more things for this silly girl to do.
Based on her original memory from her previous life, Lin Xiuzhen learned that this silly girl would soon be cheated by someone.
Now I am preparing to find more things for my daughter to do. As long as she starts to be busy, she will not be so idle and will not be involved with men.
However, Lin Xiuzhen didn’t know that some things will still come even if you want to avoid them.
When Gu Xialin went up the mountain today, her friends started talking about Gu Xialin's family affairs.
Whenever she talked about family matters before, Gu Xialin felt very inferior, especially when her own mother treated her badly. Gu Xialin felt very inferior.
But today, when my friend said this to me, I immediately became unhappy.
"Huang Jing, my mother is very nice to me now, so please stop saying bad things about her."
Huang Jing laughed immediately when she saw Gu Xialin's reaction.
"Gu Pandi, wasn't your mother always mean to you? Why can't you admit it? You just don't know who it is?"
Gu Xialin was very angry. "I've already told you that I'm not Gu Pandi anymore. My mother changed my name to Gu Xialin. You should still call me by this name from now on. Don't call me Gu Pandi anymore."
"Didn't I call you that before?" Huang Jing was still a little reluctant, but after seeing Gu Xialin's expression, she silently kept her words to herself.
"Okay, Pan, Xia, Xia Lin, you said your mother changed your name, why did she change your name suddenly?"
In fact, Huang Jing has always felt superior to Gu Xialin.
After all, just looking at the name Gu Panddy, you can tell that she definitely hopes to have a younger brother. Her family gave birth to four children before they had a boy, so girls are naturally worthless.
But Huang Jing is different. She has an older brother who treats her well. Although her parents are patriarchal, they at least didn't give her such a name.
In addition, Gu Xialin was like an old ox and stopped studying early, while Huang Jing continued to study until high school.
It can be said that some of her treatments are indeed better than Gu Xialin's.
After a while, Huang Jing liked to show off her superiority in front of her.
My own happiness depends entirely on Gu Xialin.
But how long has it been since Gu Xialin changed so much?
The clothes on your body seem to be better too?
And the complexion on his face is much better too.
She is no longer the skinny and weak little girl.
She even looks a little better because she has more flesh on her face.
Huang Jing couldn't stand the fact that Gu Xialin was better than her, so she wanted to use the same words to belittle her as before.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xialin heard that her mother didn't love her, she liked her younger brother. Combined with what the original owner had done before, Gu Xialin would basically share this with her good sisters.
Once my good sisters find out, they will become sharp swords to attack me next time.
But Gu Xialin didn't know this and thought her sisters understood her best.
"Think about it. Instead of being married to a random man by your mother, it would be better for you to find a man yourself. In this way, at least you can choose the one you like. If your mother disagrees, you can elope with someone. You must not stay here and let your mother sell you out."
Huang Jing's words were all good for Gu Xialin, but they were full of traps.
