As soon as I dropped off my daughter, my cell phone rang.
It belongs to Wu Yao.
Zhang Haidong answered the phone and said: "Supervisor, Happy New Year! I have my last day of vacation today, are you here to notify me of my salary payment?"
"I'll let you know!"
Wu Yao has the same venomous tongue as always.
"You can get paid faster than a dog! I'm here to inform you that there is the company's year-end reception today, and you must be there. This reception is a summary of last year and the company's outlook for the next year, including the distribution of year-end bonuses.
Yes. You must arrive before 11:30 noon, do you understand?"
Wu Yao ordered on the other end of the phone.
"Boss, didn't you already agree that I don't need to go? I'm really not suitable for those scenes. As for these year-end bonuses, they have nothing to do with me. Just let me go. I want to take a good rest.
sky."
Zhang Haidong refused.
"Don't you come and give it a try! How many days have you been resting? You haven't come yet! Is it so difficult for you to attend a cocktail party? The leaders of the company are all here, but if you don't come, are you slapping me in the face? Besides the cocktail party,
There are a lot of things to be announced together, you know?"
Wu Yao's tone was unquestionable.
"Okay. Is it in our company? Or somewhere else?"
"The Yellow Crane Tower Hotel is next to our company. Remember to wear formal attire and come early."
After Wu Yao finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
"Why……"
Zhang Haidong sighed and had no choice but to compromise.
In addition to collecting his salary, he also had to return the money to Bai Yourong. After that, he rushed to the company to attend the reception.
After all this trouble, there is no need to go home. There is absolutely not enough time.
He stood there and thought for a while, thinking that Du Jing's small shop was not far from the company, so he just took some time to visit his wife and see what the place where she worked was like.
With this thought, he got in the car and walked towards Du Jing's shop.
I took the bus all the way to the street Du Jing mentioned, and saw the small shop in the distance.
"Zhang's Grocery Store."
It's a small dried fruit shop that doesn't look very eye-catching, with a lot of dried fruits displayed at the door.
At the same time, there was a long queue at the window of the shop, all waiting for their meals to be served.
Zhang Haidong walked into a small window and found that Du Jing was the only one busy in the small window.
Pack the food... collect the money... and then hand the breakfast to the guests.
She packed the breakfast quickly and handed it to the guests with a smile.
Looking at Du Jing with fast hands and feet, the corners of Zhang Haidong's eyes suddenly became moist.
Is this what she meant by ease?
Is this what she said about not being tired?
A girl who works as a white-collar worker suddenly reaches this kind of position, and then grits her teeth and persists.
How big a leap is this?
For the sake of this family, Du Jing would rather be so tired and suffer such a big crime than be idle at home.
Doesn't she know how to relax?
Who doesn’t want to live a relaxed life!
She is just willing to fight tooth and nail for this little family!
Zhang Haidong's nose felt sore and he was almost crying.
He could only rub the corners of his eyes desperately.
At this time, a voice rang in my ears.
"Brother, you haven't woken up yet? Quickly queue up to buy breakfast and go to work. Stop rubbing your eyes. If you wait in line again later, you won't be able to make up the time!"
A chubby guy wearing glasses said with a smile.
Zhang Haidong hurriedly said: "Ah? I'm fine, thank you! I have a rest today. By the way, do this small shop have so many people buying breakfast every morning?"
"As long as it's working hours, there are so many people every day. I don't know about weekends. I'm a fat homebody and I don't bother to go out on weekends. Everyone comes here for breakfast. She's beautiful and works fast.
.Much better than the stern-faced old lady here before!"
The little fat guy explained with a smile.
"That's it. Thanks."
Zhang Haidong thanked the chubby brother and then stared at Du Jing not far away.
This was the first time he stared at Du Jing seriously for such a long time.
Du Jing didn't seem to feel tired. After packing the breakfast quickly, she continued to greet the next guest with a smile.
A careful estimate showed that there must have been more than a hundred people this morning, all supported by her alone.
…
After watching for a long time, Zhang Haidong finally got up when there were not many people around.
Du Jing was already so busy that she was sweating profusely, but she seemed to be used to this kind of work.
Before wiping the sweat from his forehead, he asked without raising his head: "Hello, what do you need?"
As she spoke, she cooked the oden meatballs smoothly.
Zhang Haidong didn't say anything, but gently held her hand.
"you……"
Du Jing subconsciously wanted to pull out her hand, but when she looked up and saw it was Zhang Haidong, she immediately punched him lightly.
"How did you come?"
"Don't talk yet. Wipe the sweat on your forehead first before talking."
Zhang Haidong said, taking a tissue to wipe her sweat.
Du Jing took it gently and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Come in. In case there is someone outside..."
"It's okay. I've seen everything. There must be no one outside."
Zhang Haidong said with a smile.
When he walked in, he handed a pack of hot milk to Du Jing and said, "Bao, thank you for your hard work. Drink it while it's hot."
"You idiot! I've already eaten at home this morning. Aren't you wasting money?"
Du Jing took the hot milk and drank it happily.
"That's because I didn't know you were so tired. If I had known you were so tired, I would have bought it a long time ago. Drink it quickly."
Zhang Haidong looked at his wife with a smile.
Who is not running for life?
Who doesn’t tell white lies for the sake of family?
Those so-called hardships are all being endured silently by someone behind the scenes!
Working as a worker...
Nothing more than this...
"I'm actually not tired."
Du Jing happily sat on Zhang Haidong's lap: "Sister Zhang is very kind to me. She leaves all the work to me every morning. Then from time to time she will open a small stove for me and bring me meals she cooked herself.
I can save a lot of money a month. As for work, I sit in front of the computer and work hard all day at the company. I am so tired that I have a lumbar disc herniation. I can only be tired for one morning here at most. The rest of the time is relatively busy.
Relax. Didn’t you see that I’m in good spirits every day when I go home? By the way, husband. How much salary can you pay today?”
"I don't know either. I'll go and collect my salary later, and then give some back to Bai Yourong. There will be a company reception at noon. I guess after I finish my work, I might have to sleep until night again."
Zhang Haidong replied.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get your salary. It's still a long way around this trip! It's already past 8:40. If you pay off the debt early, you should save money.
Save money for a down payment to buy a house. By next winter, our family of three will live in a big house with heating."
