Du Juan didn't know that the chef in the cafeteria put a lot of thought into this plate of steamed buns.
The small steamed buns are first wrapped in honey, then fried, and served with a small bag of condensed milk. The chef quietly told her that this kind of fried steamed buns is the most delicious when dipped in condensed milk.
Of course, the fried buns Du Juan brought back were not for herself, but to supplement Yu Guilian's mother and son's nutrition.
After get off work every day, she would give Yu Guilian a bag of fried steamed buns and a small bag of condensed milk to feed her children.
The best treatment for malnutrition is to eat nutritious food without any medical treatment.
Yu Guilian refused to accept it at first, but Du Juan told her that these were leftover steamed buns from the cafeteria, and she just asked the chef to boil the oil. The condensed milk was to enhance nutrition for the children, and she didn't spend any money anyway.
Yu Guilian felt heartbroken when she saw the child's sick appearance, so she could only accept it with great gratitude.
However, she was reluctant to eat even one piece and left it all to her son. Du Juan told her not to be reluctant, and if it was not enough, she could bring more back.
"Enough, enough, so many steamed buns, enough for us to eat for a day." Yu Guilian felt very dissatisfied every time. She had already collected Du Juan's rent and still ate other people's food every day. This was a bit unreasonable. Yu Guilian saw Du Juan's heart.
It's so nice, and she is treated like one of her own family members.
Female workers in the factory do not have a day off. They can only have one day off unless it is the Spring Festival. However, managers have one day off every Sunday.
On Sundays, Dujuan would go to the vegetable market to buy meat, eggs, or fish. When she came back, she would ask Yu Guilian to cook. Of course, she also bought a lot of rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other daily necessities. Anyway, one purchase was enough for the mother and son.
It's been a month.
She only ate with them on the day off, but she didn't eat much, so it was basically left to mother and son.
Less than half a month after Dujuan moved here, Jiujiu's face was already red and her body seemed to be getting stronger.
Children are like this. If you give them some sunshine, they will immediately brighten up. When their complexion improves, their naughty talents will gradually emerge.
Du Juan was very happy to see the changes that had taken place in Jiujiu, as if she was seeing her brother grow up day by day.
"Du Xiangli, please don't do this all the time. We are used to having you here, but one day you move away, we won't be used to it anymore." Yu Guilian sometimes joked with Du Juan.
"Sister Guilian, why don't I just move out and live here forever?" Du Juan said with a smile.
"How is that possible? You are different people from us. You don't belong here. You will have to move away sooner or later." Yu Guilian sighed.
"Sister Guilian, you are wrong. In fact, we are the same person. I just met a noble person and I am where I am today." Du Juan sighed.
She thought of Lu Ming several times and tried not to go back to see him. She was afraid that her will would not be strong enough and she would go back to her old ways.
The inner struggle never stopped. She was worried that one day she would be shaken and go back to Wanguo Apartment, and all her efforts would be wasted.
"Is the noble man you are talking about the young master who came that day?" Sister Guilian suddenly thought of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming came by car that day, dressed in expensive clothes, obviously out of place in this alley, as if he was a god from the sky who fell into the mortal world by mistake.
Yu Guilian had never seen such a beautiful man. Although she used to think that her husband was the most handsome man in the world, when she saw Lu Ming, she had to admit that her husband was still a little bit inferior to Lu Ming.
She couldn't tell how much this little bit was. What she could feel was that her husband Lei Zhenyu was more beautiful and strong, while Mr. Lu was more beautiful and handsome.
"Who are you to that young master?" Sister Guilian asked tentatively.
"I am his woman." Du Juan admitted generously.
"Oh." Sister Guilian seemed to understand.
She thought that Du Juan was Lu Ming's lover or his adopted wife. Maybe he was kicked out because he was not tolerated by his wife, so he settled in such a place to hide.
What she understood couldn't be said to be completely wrong, but it was indeed wrong.
"That young master must be very rich, right?" Sister Guilian asked.
"I don't know how much money he has, but he spent 10,000 yuan to redeem me." Du Juan said with a smile.
"Redemption?" Sister Guilian suddenly understood.
But how could this redeemed lady become the assistant manager of the spinning mill? She was confused again.
"Sister Guilian, I live here and I seem to have a certain affinity with you. Let me tell you about my situation." Du Juan recalled.
She didn't know why she just wanted to have sex with Sister Guilian. She had never told anyone about her life experience before, not even Lu Ming. Everyone only knew that she was bought by her godmother, but again
No one knows what happened in the future.
Perhaps it was the suffering that Sister Guilian and her children endured that reminded her of her own childhood, so she felt connected.
Du Juan was born in a poor village in rural Jiangxi. Her parents were farmers, and her family had always lived a life of not having enough to eat and never starving to death.
Despite this, Du Juan feels that her childhood was still very happy. In her memory, she always took her young brother to run and play in the fields. In the summer, they would catch dragonflies and butterflies together, and even boldly catch bees.
.
She still remembered that she was stung once while catching honey, and her fingers were swollen like sticks. She could never forget the painful and itchy feeling. From then on, she had an instinctive fear of bees.
When she was about eight years old, there was a flood in the area, and all the crops in the field were washed away, resulting in no harvest for a year.
My parents were sitting at the door, looking at the mountains in the distance, with desperate expressions on their faces. That scene is still vivid in my mind.
One night, the parents who couldn't sleep were discussing whether to sell their daughter or their son. Anyway, one of them had to be sold, otherwise the whole family would starve to death.
Although she was not very sensible at that time, she stood in front of her parents' bed early in the morning and said: "Sell me, I don't want my brother to starve to death."
Her parents got out of bed, and her mother hugged her tightly in her arms. All three of them shed tears.
Her mother hand-sewed a dress for her using the only remaining piece of floral cloth at home. This was the dress she had longed for.
A few days later, a man Yazi came to her home, gave her parents some money, and took her away.
She didn't know how many days she had been walking. She only knew that she first took a boat and then a train. After about five or six days, she arrived in Shanghai and was delivered to her godmother.
Many years later, she tried hard to recall what her home was like, but her mind was blurry. She couldn't even remember her home address, and she never had contact with her parents again.
But she clearly remembered the appearance of her brother. This may be the so-called selective memory. Things that a person is willing to remember will never be forgotten, but things that a person is not willing to remember will gradually fade away.
Since she was eight years old, her godmother has been training her as the future leader of Changsan Apartment. She wants her to make a lot of money. It can also be said that her godmother has invested all her capital and efforts in her.
She never resented her parents for selling her, and she also knew that if they didn't sell her, their family would starve to death and freeze to death, and there would be no other consequences.
"Sister, I didn't expect that you are also a poor person. I thought you were a young lady from a wealthy family." Sister Guilian even shed tears for Du Juan.
Indeed, there is no trace of poverty on Du Juan's body. She has the same temperament as a lady from a wealthy family, or even more noble.
Although he is fragile, he is very well-educated when walking, walking, sitting and sleeping. He is also well-dressed and looks like a gentleman.
Du Juan felt guilty. In her vague memory, she suffered a lot during her childhood, but since living with her godmother, she really hasn't suffered much.
She suffered a lot while training her body shape and skills, but she had to bear it, just like the cost of eating, how could she get it so easily.
As for life, although it is not a luxurious life, it is still a wealthy life. The godmother almost raises her as a daughter, and she is also the godmother's only hope.
It wasn't until she met Lu Ming, and at the critical moment when she was fighting to the death, that Lu Ming redeemed her with money, that she truly started her own life.
