Chapter 10 Restaurant Busboy
There are five dining tables and a cashier in the restaurant. Xiao Fan's job is to clean up, wash dishes, serve dishes, and one thing he has to do every day is to catch snails.
Washing dishes, cleaning up, serving dishes, it is relatively easy, and catching snails has become the most annoying thing in Xiao Fan's life. The working hours are from 11 am to 2 pm. Sometimes the diners leave late, and Xiao Fan will wait until the diners leave.
Whenever the stall is closed, the boss and Lao Cai cannot stop the stall.
Fried snails are not expensive, and they are a delicious dish to go with wine. The snails are the most popular dish in the restaurant. Every day the boss goes to the market early in the morning to buy back dozens of kilograms of snails. Xiao Fan gets up, cleans up, and clamps the tails of the snails with a pair of pliers.
.I caught the snails in the first few days and I couldn’t open my hands when serving the food.
The loft is on top of the seats in the restaurant hall. After closing at night, you can take a bamboo ladder to go up. There are some seasonings and dry ingredients upstairs. Xiao Fan bought a bamboo mat and placed it on the floor. It is just a bed. There is no bed.
Mat. It's already March, and when it gets cold occasionally, I'd better wear thicker clothes to get through it.
There was food and accommodation, and nothing necessary. Two packs of Yangcheng cigarettes for three days were the basic expenses. With such expenses, on the tenth day after arriving at the restaurant, Xiao Fan had no hair left in his pocket.
In the evening, when closing the stalls, Xiao Fan walked up to the boss and said softly: "Boss, can you advance 20 yuan for cigarettes?"
The boss looked at Xiao Fan, took out ten yuan from his pocket and threw it in front of Xiao Fan, "I'll pay it in advance when I get here. I won't do it next time." After saying that, he turned around and pushed the door open and went home.
Seeing the angry look of his boss, Xiao Fan was also a little embarrassed. The current situation forced him to lower his head. Holding the 10 yuan, Xiao Fan's face was cold and lonely.

Tomorrow, Sunday, before getting off work on Saturday, Gu Lijuan walked to Ying Xiaoxia's desk and said, "Let's go dancing together tonight."
Ying Xiaoxia was immersed in sorting out the production data sent by each group today, without looking up, "You can go, I won't go, I will go to bed after dinner."
Gu Lijuan snatched the ingredient list compiled from Ying Xiaoxia's hand and knocked her on the head, "Sleep after get off work all day. You are a pig. Once it's over, it's over. It's just a day of love, don't you care?"
Gu Lijuan mentioned the things she didn't want to face during this period. Ying Xiaoxia looked up at Gu Lijuan, said nothing, lowered her head, and shed tears again.
Seeing that her words made Ying Xiaoxia cry again, Gu Lijuan quickly hugged Ying Xiaoxia and comforted her, "Look at my bad mouth. Stop talking. If you don't go dancing tonight, I will go shopping with you."
It’s okay to relax!”
She wanted to cry loudly, but during working hours, except for crying silently, Ying Xiaoxia kept suppressing her heart.
After dinner, Gu Lijuan's boyfriend Ah Hui was waiting at the factory gate early. They had made an appointment to go dancing in the evening.
Gu Lijuan and Ying Xiaoxia walked out of the factory, and Ah Hui hurriedly greeted them.
"Men are not good people. You can find someone to play with yourself tonight instead of dancing. I want to go shopping with Xiaoxia."
"Didn't we agree? We can all go together." Ah Hui pretended to be pitiful and said, because on the weekend, they had agreed to go back to the rental house after dancing and not go back to the dormitory at night.
"I won't go if I say I won't go. How can you talk so much nonsense? If I don't go, you can find other beautiful girls and give you a chance."
"I came here early to wait for you, and I didn't mess with you. Have you taken any medicine today?"
"Gun powder? Aren't you willing to wait here early every day just for your gun? And you have a gun. Don't you know whether there is gun powder or not?" Gu Lijuan said with resentful anger.
road.
Knowing that Gu Lijuan was upset about her own affairs, and seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ying Xiaoxia quickly covered Gu Lijuan's mouth, "Let's go dancing tonight, I'll invite you." After that, she pulled Gu Lijuan to the industry.
Walk outside the area.
A dance hall is a stage of several square meters, two speakers, a set of karaoke equipment, a hall of more than 500 square meters, several rows of stools around the hall, a few tables in some places, and a dance hall concession stand in one corner.
Drinks and snacks are provided inside. Tickets are one yuan each, and singing is also one yuan. Sing on stage and dance in the audience. Dance halls have a high possibility of encounters and encounters. Dancing can also bring each other closer, as is the public dance hall.
Youthful memories of a generation in 60.70.80.
It was just past 7 o'clock when we arrived at the ballroom, so it was still early for dancing, and there were only a few people in the ballroom.
The three of them found a seat with a table and sat down. Ah Hui went to buy some drinks, a bag of melon seeds, and a bag of peanuts.
In order to enhance the atmosphere, the lights in the dance hall are not bright, mainly relying on the rotating ball on the top of the dance hall to emit colorful light. Sometimes slow dancing, the spotlights are turned off in the dance hall, and the dance floor is dark, with only a few small lights around, emitting ambiguous light.
Light. This kind of atmosphere is the favorite of ambiguous young lovers.
Gu Lijuan peeled a few peanuts and put them in Ying Xiaoxia's hands, "You said it's impossible for that bastard of yours to suddenly appear here?"
"No, he must have left Qiaotou a long time ago. It doesn't matter whether he is in Dongguan or not. The day we met, he said he would leave Dongguan."
"Men are so heartless, they just pick up their pants and leave without even saying hello."
"We really didn't happen, and we don't know. The thought of threatening me with a knife and the person who robbed me was with him made me angry. Many things really didn't go through my mind. I couldn't understand very simple things at the time.
"
Gu Lijuan pushed Ah Hui next to her, "You go find a friend to dance with. You can't leave Xiaoxia behind alone." She knew that there were many people chasing Ying Xiaoxia, but she refused, but Hu Lijuan still wanted to give Ying Xiaoxia
Be a matchmaker.
"I'm not in the mood to dance, and I'm not used to being hugged by boys. Just dance while I sit down." Ying Xiaoxia quickly stopped her.
"Aren't you used to it? You and that bastard you've known for a few hours are holding hands and swaggering around. You're used to it, love idiot." Seeing that Ying Xiaoxia has been so depressed for a boy she has known for less than 24 hours, Gu Lijuan felt angry.
road.
"I don't know why, but he pulled me and held me, and I felt different, but he left." Tears welled up in Ying Xiaoxia's eyes again.
Seeing the little ancestor crying again, Gu Lijuan quickly hugged and comforted her.
When they are not working overtime, many people like to go to the dance hall. Today, on the weekend, there are more people dancing. Before you know it, many people have come in, and the dance hall is already a bit crowded.
Several men invited Ying Xiaoxia to dance, but she refused and looked at the dancers boredly. Suddenly she saw the figure of a man robbing her Huang Yaodong.
Seeing this figure, Ying Xiaoxia quickly stood up, walked to the ballroom, and grabbed Huang Yaodong's clothes from behind.
