Chapter 97: Hawthorn

In the next few days, Tang Jinyu helped Ji Yuanjie settle down at the Su Zhai Hall. Although Xia Ye was strict, he let go and helped them in private.
Tang Jinyu taught Ji Yuanjie for a few days at Su Zhaiguan. This part-time job is much better than the ones Ji Yuanjie looked for before. Although he concentrates on a few hours (gan) work, he can free up a lot of time to do other things, and the money is also given. Quite a lot.
Ji Yuanjie learns very quickly. He has a higher enlightenment than Guo Xiaohu, and he is serious in doing things. He has learned like a decent one afternoon by Tang Jinyu's side. The next day, he will gradually eliminate the need for others and can complete it independently.
Tang Jinyu didn't worry about him. He came to accompany him these days. He has become familiar with the chef here, and everyone knows that these children are good work-study students and treat them well.
Tang Jinyu talked to Xiao Ji about the lawyer. Ji Yuanjie was very grateful to him, but a little tired said: "Last time my family also found a lawyer, and I did everything I could. The truck driver was also very difficult at home, so he brought things. I took a look at my dad and found no one in the back. My mother wanted to sue the driver and his family for coming..."
Xiao Ji said very tactfully.
The truth is much more than what he said. The truck driver originally thought that Ji Yuanjie’s father was slightly injured, so he came to see it and bought some fruits and gifts, but when he saw that the injury was so severe, the Ji family Hundreds and ten boxes of valuable drinks in that van were all smashed. The payment alone was a large number, so scared that no one could be found immediately.
The business of Ji Yuanjie's family has not been very good for the past two years. Ji's mother wants to buy a batch of goods and switch to selling wine, but who would have thought that this happened suddenly.
Ji Yuanjie’s dad is still in the work unit, and the work unit has organized donations, but many people make irresponsible remarks about this. After all, his family moved out of Tongzilou a few years ago. At that time, they said that their family had made a fortune. I didn't give everyone a dime, and let me donate when something went wrong. After receiving those thousands of donations, Mother Ji was often cold talked about. But anyway, I helped them with their mother and son at the hardest time. The medical expenses ran out and it was difficult to borrow from relatives. Ji's mother never let Ji Yuanjie follow, but Xiao Ji knew in his heart.
Mother Ji is a very important person, otherwise she would not be the first batch to make money by doing her own small business. She gave all the people who borrowed the money, she wrote IOUs, and planned to pay it back slowly in the future. After being scolded and acting, she slowly stopped saying anything, and just accepted it without saying a word.
Leaking the house happened to be rainy night, and now the Ji family not only tasted the warmth and coldness of the people, but also was caused by the house of the truck driver.
The wife of the other party came over with a three or four-year-old child and cried for a while, and smashed a kettle in his house. She said that their family had killed her husband. Now the widow is dragging the child by herself. Not going anymore, let them pay for living expenses.
This is simply unreasonable making trouble. Ji Yuanjie, a good old man, was angry for the first time. He wanted to push the other person out, but he was held by his mother and stopped, crying and begging him not to be impulsive.
"Don't go, you let her make trouble, what else can't be smashed in our house now, it's all tattered things, you let her go...you can't have an accident, there can be no more people in our family. ."
Ji’s mother is a small business, and she has seen such a person on purpose.
They can only bear it. If Xiao Ji makes a mistake on the impulse, she is really helpless and cannot save the family.
Ji Yuanjie was obedient, he endured it.
But biting and bleeding on the lips.
It was the first time he tasted the hardships of life. He thought that hardship was nothing more than physical fatigue. He went to the construction site to move bricks, carry cement, or save some meals and drink more water... He never I know that there is such a kind of suffering that I can't tell in my heart.
...
The truck driver’s house was like a gangster, so poor that the man left his wife and children and ran away. It is said that there are still a pair of elderly and seriously ill parents in the family. Even if they are arrested and sentenced, the other party will not be able to pay a penny.
There were still traces of the wound on Ji Yuanjie's lips. He whispered to Tang Jinyu, the sentence was plain, and he had survived.
Tang Jinyu squeezed the dough in her hand and didn't let it go. It took a long time before she let go of her clenched hand, and said angrily, "Then catch him back and go to jail!"
Ji Yuanjie nodded and chuckled: "Yes, I thought about it before. It's okay to be caught and sentenced. After all, he smashed my dad into that way. Xiaoyu, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I thank you very much."
Tang Jinyu had flour in her hand, so she slapped him lightly with her shoulder, "What about these, we are all good brothers, have you forgotten? Everyone in the class used to draw the '38 line', but we didn't draw it."
Ji Yuanjie was still laughing, "That was done at the same table as the girls. We are both boys. What about that (gan gan)?"
Tang Jinyu also laughed, "You are different from them. You don't paint when you change girls. You just let them. I'll make an analogy. You can't draw lines when you change stars..."
Ji Yuanjie bowed his head and wrapped a beautiful steamed dumpling, set it aside, and changed it to stars, which he certainly wouldn't.
He will give her the best.
Guo Xiaohu brought two boxes of vegetables back from the outside, he is still full of energy. He used to play basketball for half a day every summer vacation. Now this amount of work is nothing short of a trifle. He doesn’t want money, he just comes to help. Turning around with Tang Jinyu.
The master made vegetarian fried meatballs today. Tang Jinyu was curious, and went to try to steal the teacher. By the way, he left as much work as possible for Xiao Ji, who generally refused to charge them more for their work.
Guo Xiaohu also hurried over, guarding him carefully. Tang Jinyu had to step on his feet to see through him. In the end, he didn't see anything, so he could only go back to help mix the stuffing.
When Guo Xiaohu saw it and followed him, he took the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'll come, I'll come, Xiaoyu, sit and rest, and just command."
The seasonings are all ready-made by the master, and the hard work is left to others to do. Guo Xiaohu has some strength, and starts stirring clockwise as Tang Jinyu said.
"Don't use too much force. The tofu will melt in a while. Don't use too much force on the soft tofu, otherwise it will leak out, so you have to be gentle."
Guo Xiaohu carefully controlled his hand strength. It was like this when they used to play together. He came to take all heavy objects. He felt that Tang Jinyu's hands were playing the piano, and he was afraid of hurting those hands.
When it was time for dinner, there were more people ordering veggie bags. Xiao Ji couldn't be too busy alone, so Tang Jinyu rolled up his sleeves to help, moving quickly and well.
Guo Xiaohu couldn’t help anymore at the moment, so he just sat there and watched, staring at his fingers with straight eyes, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. After a while, he blushed and bowed his head. Look, but can't help but look secretly.
His eyes were too straightforward, Tang Jinyu turned around and asked, "Am I not good enough?"
Guo Xiaohu made a big red face, and shook his head quickly: "No, no, you pack very well."
Tang Jinyu put one on the steamer and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think that I used to make dumplings and steamed buns when I was at home. My dad was responsible for making the noodles, my mother adjusted the fillings, and my brother was done. Just leave me here, he moves fast, I have to hurry to keep up."
It took a lot of effort for the two people to imagine Xia Ye wearing a suit and face in their minds. They all felt weird. Ji Yuanjie felt that Tang Jinyu’s brother had a pen in his hand to sign a contract with millions of dollars, and Guo Xiaohu thought of Xia. With the face stick in his hand, Ye couldn't help but make up his brain into a baseball bat. Sitting there was chilly--he felt that Tang Jinyu must be expressionless when his brother hit someone, wearing a mask and cruelly.
Tang Jinyu didn't notice it. He talked a lot about cooking. After he grew up, he liked to cook. He talked about some special dishes, "I know all of these. I will try them next time."
Guo Xiaohu said, "Do you still cook at home?"
Tang Jinyu said: "Yes, my brother likes to eat what I make. He ate all the tofu buns yesterday."
Guo Xiaohu gave a cry, thought for a long time, and didn't know how to continue talking.
Su Zhai Pavilion is very busy, but after Xiao Ji has been busy for a while, he stabilizes and can keep up. Tang Jinyu watched for a while, and did not leave to disturb him, so he left with Guo Xiaohu. He had an appointment with his brother, and he was busy until half past six every day, and then came here to pick him up.
Guo Xiaohu walked out with him. When he reached the side of the road, Guo Xiaohu held back for a while and suddenly shouted: "Xiaoyu!"
Tang Jinyu was looking at the phone and was startled by him, "What's the matter?"
Guo Xiaohu babbled for a long time, kicked a small stone on the side of the road, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, the buns I have eaten these days are the best buns I have eaten in my life. What do you make? The stuffing is delicious, and the green pepper shreds are also delicious..." He never eats green peppers since he was a child, but he ate three or four of Tang Jinyu's cooking, and he really liked it. There is also a bit of sourness in this love, like a sudden bite of uncoated hawthorn, which looks red and big, but the tip of the nose is sour in the mouth.
Tang Jinyu didn't know, so she stopped to look at him.
Guo Xiaohu put his hands in his pockets, clenched his fists hard to give himself a little courage, "Anyway, anyway, I will never forget today in my life. We, our part-time job, is very meaningful."
Tang Jinyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think it's quite meaningful."
Tang Jinyu's cell phone rang, and he answered the sound while looking up at the surroundings. After seeing the familiar car, he waved to Guo Xiaohu and ran to the car.
Guo Xiaohu watched Tang Jinyu ran to the side of the car and stopped. When the window was down there, he held a finger and handed it over, whispering something to the person driving inside.
Immediately after a big hand stretched out, the white shirt was rolled up to the wrist, (exposing) a brand-name watch of the same style as Tang Jinyu’s wrist was shown, and it flicked on the child’s head before pinching it. His fingers helped him blow.
Tang Jinyu lay down and smiled, rubbing her head before getting into the car.
Guo Xiaohu saw that he was inexplicably bored. He was very envious, but he didn't know what he was envious of. He kept watching Tang Jinyu and his brother go far away before looking away.
Ji Yuanjie finished his work in Su Zhai Restaurant (gan gan). The master was very kind to him and gave him two boxes of buns for him to take back to eat. The master said that he would only include dinner for one person, but it was enough for the whole family. .
Ji Yuanjie accepted the earnest thanks, packed it in his backpack and took it home.
He first went to the hospital to deliver the next one, and then took his own to the construction site.
There is a residential area nearby. There is a small section of the project, but it needs to be inspected, and the urging is very strong. Therefore, a few more workers are recruited (gan), and they will be given nearly 100 yuan a night.
Ji Yuanjie came over to say hello to the foreman, put his belongings down and changed to a torn t-shirt, and went to work.
