"Who said I'm not good at knife skills? When I was helping at the mutton soup restaurant, you didn't know what to do." The bleeding from the wound stopped, Su Su kneaded the band-aid tightly, turned around, and returned to the kitchen to pick up the kitchen knife.
, his face was unconvinced when he spoke, and he was holding a kitchen knife on the cutting board, as if he wanted to prove his knife skills.
"Okay, your hands are hurt, so don't show off. You two kids can go out and I can do it alone."
Mother Su kicked Shen Dapeng and Su Su out of the kitchen. Her daughter hurt her finger. No mother would feel bad for her, but she still couldn't help but lecture her, "You can't eat anything and you can't do anything. I see."
You, apart from studying hard and getting into college, there is no other way out for you."
"Mom, what you said is wrong. Only those who can get into a good university are truly capable. If our daughter is admitted into a nationally renowned university like Dapeng, then when she graduates, why can't she earn... four thousand
A month?”
Su Huaren didn't know much about life in big cities, let alone the wages of college graduates, but he thought that ordinary part-time workers could earn more than 700 to 800 yuan, and workers could also earn more than 1,000 yuan. In big cities, people who graduated from prestigious universities could find
If I work, my income will definitely double, so I feel bold enough to say "four thousand a month".
But he didn't know that in the capital city in the past few years, the salary of recent university graduates was lower than that of workers. Even if they graduated from a prestigious university, they were just a stepping stone. They had no strength or ability. During the internship, they only paid two to three thousand a month.
After ten years of hardship, I still have to start over from scratch after graduation.
"Well, after studying for more than ten years from elementary school to high school, and being admitted to a good university, your youth is not wasted."
Shen Dapeng didn't have much time to refute Su Huaren's idea. Anyway, Su Su was already prepared to think about college. Instead of worrying about the difficulties after graduating from college, it would be better to focus on the college entrance examination. If this can lead to a good test,
College is also a louder stepping stone when looking for a job.
"Come on, let's just drink tea and chat, Su Su, and boil a kettle of hot water."
"Dad, my hands are broken and you still order me? I don't drink tea. Whoever drinks it will burn it." Su Su was unconvinced and her big watery eyes were not idle, staring at Shen Dapeng with a threatening look.
Thought it couldn't be more obvious.
"Stinky girl, I want to drink tea, and Dapeng is a guest. Are you going to let me go as a lame person?"
Su Huaren wanted to gain some dignity as the head of the family in front of outsiders, but unfortunately his daughter was spoiled by him. Even though he deceived himself and others with his domineering orders, he still remained motionless after seeing Su Su, so he had to change his gentle tone and said, "My dear, be good, dad."
Isn't this inconvenient? If it were normal, Dad would have done it himself."
"Humph, I'm ignorant."
The words that Shen Dapeng wanted to say the most came out of Su Su's mouth, and Su Su still stared at Shen Dapeng and said it, as if Shen Dapeng was the one who was dishonest and did something wrong, but it was okay, she finally managed to
I went to boil water and helped make tea in a decent manner.
"Dapeng, I don't have any good tea at home. Just make do with the most ordinary Monkey King."
"Uncle, don't say that. Monkey King is a big brand. It has a strong flavor, which is especially suitable for the taste of northerners. It's not like white tea or the like, which is too bland. We don't know how to taste tea anyway. It's ok if it tastes good.
,Besides, isn’t this much better than those ‘high-breaking’ ones in restaurants?”
"High breaking? What kind of tea is that?"
"Uncle, you have been running a mutton soup restaurant for so many years. Don't you know about 'high broken tea'? High broken tea is just some broken tea leaves, which is cheap. Some restaurants, hotels, and teahouses will use it to fool people. After a long time, customers will know about it.
The name 'high broken' was chosen to ridicule unscrupulous businessmen."
Shen Dapeng thought about it. The high broken pieces are tea leaves that are repeatedly used by unscrupulous merchants. Su Huaren is an honest person. There are not many people who drink tea in the sheep soup restaurant that is run by a small business. There is no need to care about the cost of a few bags of Monkey King tea.
Nowadays, tea sets and tea sets are not popular yet, and northerners drink less tea, so there is no way to make high-quality broken tea.
"High breaking is tea foam? Haha, the name is quite elegant, but isn't that just a lie? We don't do those immoral things. Although I, Lao Su, are a little poorer, I can still straighten my back. You can go there
It turns out that after asking around in the old neighborhood and the big market, I can’t say that the ingredients in my mutton soup restaurant are the best, but they are definitely no worse than those in big restaurants. If I use some tattered lower horn meat, I can’t make it taste the way I want.
."
When Su Huaren mentioned the mutton soup restaurant, Su Huaren's eyes were still shining. He had worked hard to run the small shop for many years. If it hadn't been for the land demolition and urban construction in the county, he would have been reluctant to close the mutton soup restaurant in his lifetime. Moreover, the mutton soup restaurant
The soup restaurant was their family's livelihood, and he couldn't close it unless he had to.
However, the excitement was only short-lived. When he thought that the mutton soup restaurant had been closed, Su Huaren couldn't help but sigh softly. After a wry smile, he shook his head helplessly and looked at Su Su with an apologetic and doting look, "But it's closed.
It’s okay, I, a honest-minded person, can’t make much money doing business, and other people’s businesses are getting bigger and bigger, so it’s better for me to let the two of them live a hard life.”
"Dad, what are you talking about? You didn't let me go hungry or freeze. I can eat meat when I want. You haven't done anything wrong to me if I want to buy anything. If I call it a hard life, what do you mean?
Good days? I can’t think of it.”
It wasn't that Su Su didn't expect it, but she didn't want to think about it. Middle school was the adolescent period for young people, a rebellious period. Everyone would have a serious desire to compare. Other classmates had constant pocket money every day, and she had to walk home just to save a dollar.
Other classmates could change into colorful new clothes after taking off their school uniforms, but she kept changing them back and forth between two pieces throughout the year. She didn't dare to ask her parents for money to buy new ones even after they were washed and faded.
The financial conditions of her family do not allow her to act as recklessly as most of her classmates. She is sensible and obedient, and she is stubborn and strong because she does not want to embarrass her parents, and she also does not want to make herself feel inferior. As long as she has a choice, what girl would not want to
Dress up beautifully and become the center of attention among your classmates?
"Su Su is indeed a sensible child, unlike some girls who ask their parents to save money just to be beautiful."
Shen Dapeng suddenly remembered that in order to help Su Su buy the green gauze skirt and T-shirt he wanted at the night market, he had deceived others and bargained for it. Although he gave it to Su Su as a birthday gift on her birthday, it was a pity that it did not end well in the end.
, was thrown into the mud pit by Su Su unreasonably.
When I was angry before, I felt that I was being treated like a donkey for my good intentions. Now I calm down and think about it. Su Su, a simple little girl, was called a scheming girl by her classmates and friends because of two pieces of clothing at her birthday party. Under the circumstances, for
To prove innocence, throwing away the clothes is a simple and crude but effective method.
"Su Su is a good boy, but it's a pity that I don't have much ability..."
