Even Liu Weicheng, who didn't care about the color of his skin at all, had to buy a sun hat from a street stall.
Walking on the street with a sun hat on his head, Liu Weicheng, who had just come out of Shen Wanshu's place, got the news that he would be bidding for the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School in the next two days.
When the time comes, the other party will notify you in advance.
Perhaps because he had helped his daughter, Shen Wanshu's attitude towards Liu Weicheng was quite good. Although he still had a dull face all day long, there was no obvious emotional fluctuation in his words.
Working with such a person, Liu Weicheng could not help but sympathize with his colleagues.
Zhao Xuanying and the others are approaching their final exams, and at this time, the junior high school of the elementary school has begun their summer vacation.
I immediately thought of Li Shiyi's daughter. The kindergarten has already closed for summer vacation, and there is a high probability that she will take her child to work together.
It just so happened that the light bulb at home was broken in the past two days, and Zhao Xuanying had to hold a flashlight all night to watch over her grandma when she came home from get off work. No one has repaired the light bulb in the corridor yet.
Liu Weicheng planned to buy one more and repair the corridor as well.
He made up his mind and walked a little further to the supermarket where Li Shiyi worked. As soon as he entered, the cool air from the air conditioner warmed him up and he felt very comfortable.
I took off the sun hat on my head and brushed my hair that had grown longer over the past month. I was just about to go in when I suddenly saw the figure lying down at the counter.
Wu Yunyun.
By chance, Liu Weicheng turned around and approached the counter. He walked softly and watched the other person flipping through the picture book.
He lowered his voice and knocked on the table of the counter with his hand.
"Kid, who asked you to lie down here?"
"mom……"
She raised her head from looking at the picture book and was about to respond. When she raised her eyes, Yunyun saw the face she hadn't seen for a while.
His whole little face was stunned for a moment.
After a while, a smile gradually appeared.
"Uncle Cow!"
The distinctive high-pitched voice of a child reached Liu Weicheng's ears. She who was still lying in front of the counter immediately jumped down, trotted around and grabbed Liu Weicheng's trouser legs with her hands.
Yunyun looked quite excited after seeing each other after a long absence.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Hearing that the little girl still didn't call him a name, Liu Weicheng was too lazy to worry about it.
Then he knelt down with a smile, reached out and rubbed the other person's head.
He warned with earnest words.
"Practice your Mandarin more when you grow up."
"Um?"
Yunyun obviously didn't know what Liu Weicheng meant by this sentence. She tilted her head and wondered, then put it behind her, grabbed the picture book on the counter, and raised it high.
"Read me another one, I like the stories my uncle tells!"
"You have great taste. Come and see who will receive the lunch box this time."
After getting the child's approval, Liu Weicheng took the picture book from the other person's hand, unfolded it and flipped through a few pages at will.
Decided after a little thought.
Let’s start with Little Red Riding Hood this time.
——————————————
"This kind of thing makes me very embarrassed."
The person in charge of the supermarket was a woman in her late fifties, dressed very simply. Looking at Li Shiyi standing in front of her, she wanted to say something more, but in the end she was too embarrassed to speak.
She knew about Li Shiyi's situation. With such a man on the stand, no one else could do anything about it.
Firing Li Shiyi is also a helpless move.
It was because he felt sorry for her that he left her to work in his supermarket. Although the salary was not high, it was a little help.
However, this is also done without harming the supermarket's profits.
Yesterday, the scene of Wu Yong making a big fuss in the supermarket came into view. Although he was taken away later, such an incident has seriously affected the supermarket's business.
Sitting in his seat, he glanced at Li Shiyi, who was standing in front of him without saying a word.
The middle-aged woman sighed, then opened the drawer and took out the salary she had prepared in advance.
Put it on the table and push it forward.
"Don't think too much, I have no choice but to take this month's salary and buy some clothes for the child."
"..."
With her head lowered, she slowly raised her head and glanced at the red banknotes on the table.
After a long time, I took it over and felt that the thickness was not right. I counted it and found that it was a whole month's salary.
Stunned in place, Li Shiyi looked at the salary in her hand, and then looked up at the boss at the table.
Before she could speak, the middle-aged woman continued.
"They are all women. Alas... you should take care of your own affairs first, otherwise you will not be able to live in peace for the rest of your life."
As a senior, she obviously understands Li Shiyi's current situation.
He didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand to announce the fact that Li Shiyi would not continue working in the supermarket.
Seeing that Sister Fang didn't want to say anything, Li Shiyi didn't say anything more. She said thank you to the other party and left the office with half a month's extra salary.
After leaving the door, his originally calm face immediately changed.
He stood against the wall with his head lowered for a while, then raised his hand to wipe his face and went to the employee lounge.
After bidding farewell to the elder sisters who had taken care of him, he left amidst their reluctance.
Walking towards the exit of the supermarket, Li Shiyi tried her best to adjust her emotions so as not to affect her children.
As I walked, my pace gradually slowed down.
Li Shiyi held her bag and looked at the figure at the counter who was reading a picture book to her child.
Stunned.
And his daughter seemed to be amused, making a very unladylike laugh. The child's laughter was the best affirmation for Liu Weicheng.
He was equally cheerful and felt that someone was watching him. He turned around and saw Li Shiyi standing not far away.
Raise your hand and wave.
"Long time no see. Are you off work?"
"Mom~"
Yunyun was so happy that she seemed to want to share this joy with her mother. She immediately got out of Liu Weicheng and threw herself into his arms.
He held his little head high and said jumping up and down.
"Uncle read the picture book to Yunyun, it was so interesting~"
"Yes, really..."
Her voice was trembling when she spoke. Li Shiyi avoided Liu Weicheng's gaze and lowered her head to stroke her daughter's head.
Liu Weicheng put the picture book in his hand back on the cabinet, got up and walked towards Li Shiyi.
"I'm going to buy two light bulbs first, and we'll talk when I come out."
After saying that, he passed over the other person and walked inside.
It wasn't until Liu Weicheng left her side that Li Shiyi lowered her gaze towards her daughter and then slowly raised her gaze, glancing back as if taking a sneak peek.
Then he hurriedly turned back.
When she thought about what happened to her during this period, she had already troubled Liu Weicheng many times... and she didn't want to involve him again.
Li Shiyi did not want Liu Weicheng, who was five years younger than herself, to be harmed in any way.
