There are many small restaurants near the school. Zhang Xiaobai sells himself family by family, and finally finds a job in the dumpling restaurant, which is the dumpling restaurant where Bai Lu ate.
From 5 to 10 in the evening, 500 yuan a month, quite cheap labor. Zhang Xiaobai had no choice but to do it first, at least to solve the problem of living expenses.
The waiters all recognized Zhang Xiaobai. In their impression, this student got a flower-like girl drunk and went out with her back on her back. As for where to go? This group of people thought very badly.
So when they teased Zhang Xiaobai about this, Xiaobai explained to them in an extremely serious tone that the two were just ordinary friends.
Who can believe it?
Zhang Xiaobai’s first job was to wash dishes in the back kitchen. Despite this, he still worked hard, and the dishes were washed like new ones.
I once read a short story about a Chinese who was studying in the U.S. and could only find a dishwashing job in a restaurant. The restaurant stipulated that the bowl must be washed three times, but he felt that the effect of washing once was about the same, so he was lazy at work, but it didn’t take long. Was fired.
I don’t know if there is such a thing. In short, a problem is reflected. This person can’t be sloppy and lazy. Since he is doing his job, he must do his job seriously. Even if no one appreciates it anymore, he can at least use the skill of dishwashing. Learned well.
Zhang Xiaobai can only comfort himself like this.
After only a week of washing, Zhang Xiaobai was affirmed by the boss, was assigned a new job, and served dishes.
It seems that there is no wasted effort. The boss knows whether you are doing good or bad, and serving dishes is at least easier and decent than washing dishes.
But from the bottom of my heart, Zhang Xiaobai did not want to show up at the front desk. After all, he was just a twenty-year-old boy with his own little dignity.
After family education and sports events, Zhang Xiaobai is now a well-known figure in the school, and the probability of being recognized by the students is extremely high. After all, doing this work in front of them feels a bit embarrassing.
Things are just as he expected. Most of the people who came here were students. Someone did recognize them, but they didn't say anything, just the look in his eyes was a little strange.
It took only two days for Zhang Xiaobai to adapt to those eyes and malicious whispers, because he figured it out.
Am I him? What's the matter with you?
If it is said that the environment can change a person's mentality, Zhang Xiaobai's adaptability is really strong.
On this day, Zhang Xiaobai was in the back kitchen asking the chef for his cooking experience. The waiter who wanted to learn the craft but didn't want to be a cook was not a good student.
At this moment, the waiter who remembered the menu sneaked up and said, "Zhang Xiaobai, that girl is here."
Passed him the menu after speaking.
Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Who?"
"Who else? The one you memorized that day." This person was very impressed with that beautiful girl.
Zhang Xiaobai looked at the menu and patted his forehead very helplessly. It turned out that Bai Lu ordered exactly the same dishes that day.
Now he is the only waiter who passes the dishes. The original one was sent to the back kitchen to wash the dishes, and the dishes were prepared, Zhang Xiaobai bit his scalp and sent them.
Bai Lu was looking at the female accountant behind the service desk with great interest, her eyes faintly hostile.
Zhang Xiaobai put on the dishes and said inertially: "You take it slow!"
Bai Lu jumped her brows and said, "Where is the wine?"
Zhang Xiaobai glared at Bai Lu while the boss was looking at a female student, and said in a low voice, "You can't drink anymore!"
Bai Lu looked at Zhang Xiaobai's extremely serious eyes, and said with a smile: "Sure, I won't drink, then you eat with me."
Zhang Xiaobai said: "I'm at work, no time!"
Who knows that when Bai Lu heard this, he stood up and walked towards the boss. He didn't know what he had said to the boss. The two chatted speculatively and laughed from time to time.
Finally the boss said, "Zhang Xiaobai, you are off work today, no deduction of wages."
Zhang Xiaobai could only sit as a guest and said, "Sister, what trick did you use?"
Bai Lu said with a smile: "Of course it is a beauty to deal with such an old man!"
Zhang Xiaobai was dumbfounded: "We can't really suffer!"
Bai Lu said: "Don't worry, just give him a look and you will have no master!"
The two began to eat. They didn't drink any alcohol this time. Zhang Xiaobai was really hungry. He ate most of the dishes. Finally, Bai Lu gave him half a plate of dumplings.
After dinner, Bailu settled the bill, and the boss gave a discount. The two walked out from the restaurant to the campus playground.
As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Bai Lu didn't say a word, his face was extremely bad.
Bai Lu stared into Zhang Xiaobai’s eyes and said, "Don’t be a waiter there."
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not hard at all!"
Then Bai Lu suddenly squatted on the ground, with his head buried between his knees, his whole body trembling and sobbing softly.
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Sister, I really don't work hard at all!"
Bai Lu sobbed and said, "As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard someone talk about you, why is he not a big man in our school? Why did he do such a low job? He didn't have a good word. Then I saw you. When I came out with the plate, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was very polite to let me use it slowly, and I ate so many dishes, do you know? I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, so I could only force a smile."
Zhang Xiaobai directly sat on the ground, grabbed a piece of grass and held it in his mouth, "Sister, this person's origin is not a factor. I admit that I am a poor man. There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is fate, but I will not obey, I don't believe it. This is the way I’ve been in my life. It doesn’t matter if they look down on me now. I can’t look down on myself. One day, I will show them that the people they look down on will stand out of their reach, leaving them only admiration. For the sake of it!"
Zhang Xiaobai was chewing on the grass, suddenly feeling a little sweet.
Bailu's sobbing slowed down, her mood returned to calm, she looked up and said, "How old are you?"
Zhang Xiaobai was taken aback, and said, "I'm twenty."
"What month of birthday?"
"February, what's wrong?"
Then Bai Lu stood up and said, "You can call me senior sister, but you can't call me sister. You are older than me, I am June."
After speaking, Bai Lu turned and left, raised his right hand with his back to Zhang Xiaobai, and raised his thumb, "Zhang Xiaobai, even if the whole world looks down on you, I will support you, Sister!"
Zhang Xiaobai watched that beautiful back disappear into the moonlight, and suddenly felt that the campus was so pleasant and the world was so beautiful.
It's enough to be a confidante in life!
The appearance of Bai Lu is only a short episode, and Zhang Xiaobai's working life is still going on.
I didn't expect an unexpected person to appear.
On this day, the fat man from the tutoring agency and some friends came to the dumpling restaurant for dinner.
As soon as they met, the fat man burst into laughter, "Yo-yo-yo, no wonder they are master runners, they turned out to be errand runners!"
