Chapter 454 458. Soak rice in water! (3/3, please subscribe!)
After coming out of prison, Huang Mian has been very silent.Qu Pei's family was immersed in grief, and naturally they were less talkative, so the atmosphere along the way was very depressing.
Even after Qu Pei's family got out of the car, Huang Mian followed Chen Jin back to the store. He didn't say anything, just squatting outside and watching the ants moving by the side of the road, in a daze.
Chen Jin knew that Huang Mian's life was so smooth before, and he didn't really endure hardships like him, and he was accustomed to seeing people's warmth.Now he always sees these bloody realities with his own eyes, which is bound to have some influence on his mentality.
But this kind of thing can only let him figure it out. After all, he has already said what he should say, so he didn't care about it.
Until lunch time, everyone in the store went to eat, and Huang Mian also stayed in the store alone, slouching the system at will, his eyes blank.
Tao Xiaochu came out from the back area to meet him, so he asked, "Why don't you go to dinner? I thought everyone was there and was going to guard the front hall."
When Huang Mian saw her, he finally squeezed out a smile and said, "Didn't you also go? Losing weight is not such a subtraction."
"Who said I want to lose weight?" Any girl is very sensitive to body weight, not to mention that Tao Xiaochu had some baby fat, especially... uh, a certain part, the baby is not fat there!
"Then why don't you go to dinner?" Huang Mian asked.
Tao Xiaochu shook his head: "The fast food restaurant is too expensive. It costs more than ten yuan for a meal. I cook the meal in a small electric rice cooker at home, and add mustard and pickles to deal with it, and I can save a day. This is twenty or thirty yuan."
With that said, she put her plastic lunch box on the table and unlocked it, took one of them and opened it.It’s just a meal or two when it’s dead, plus some radish, mustard and pickles.
Huang Mian frowned, and suddenly realized that his affection for Tao Xiaochu only rested on her innocent smile and blood-spraying figure.
In addition, I just heard everyone talk about how she came out to work for her sister to study. No matter how much I understand, there will be no more.
In other words, Huang Mian didn't know Tao Xiaochu at all.
What does she like?What do you hate?
What was she happy about?What did you cry about again?
Questions like this flooded into Huang Mian's mind in an instant.
"Isn't it? Even if the food cost is 30 yuan a day, it is only 900 yuan a month. The salary of your store assistant must be three or four thousand, right?" Huang Mian couldn't help asking: "Plan to rent a room. Five or six hundred yuan a month is only one thousand forty-five. Then you can save more than 2,000 yuan a month. Is it necessary to save this way?"
Tao Xiaochu immediately retorted: "But if I have this 900 yuan left, my family can eat a few more meat meals every month. My sister needs to eat better when she is growing up!"
"You are only eighteen or nineteen years old? Aren't you still a half-old child!" Huang Mian said again.
Even if he had experienced the "tragedy" of his father's bankruptcy before, eating mustard and pickles at every meal was not what Huang Mian could imagine.
In his impression, when he went to work before, he went home to eat every day, at least there was still meat.Just thinking of these, he suddenly felt so stupid.
If the family is really bankrupt, the food can not be of this standard.It seems that his life as a young master is too comfortable. Three dishes and one soup for every meal, two meats and two vegetarians are already the "poverty" standard in his perception.
In fact, there were many flaws exposed by his parents in acting before, but he really couldn't find it at the time.
"Details determine success or failure", Huang Mian suddenly felt that Chen Jin was really high!There are dozens of floors as high!
Tao Xiaochu heard this and was a little dissatisfied: "What happened to the eighteenth and nineteenth? Eighteenth and nineteenth, I also support my family with my own hands. How do you look like you? I heard them say that you were a super rich second-generation generation before! I came to work in an intermediary company only now."
"Um~" Huang Mian was speechless, but she was speechless.
At the same age of eighteen and nineteen, he seemed to have been driving a sports car all over the world for fun.In comparison, Tao Xiaochu did 10,000 streets of himself.
But seeing him silent, Tao Xiaochu suddenly became a little nervous.
"Sorry!" She said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean to mention your sadness."
"It's okay, you're right. The limbs are not diligent and the grains are not divided. I used to be like this." Huang Mian smiled and said, "It's you. You eat these things every day, and you can grow so big."
What he said was unintentional, meaning he grew up since childhood.However, Tao Xiaochu was somewhat "outstanding" among her peers since she was a child, but she became a bit sensitive and understood it as "grow up since childhood".
She immediately lowered her head and looked at her chest, then frowned at Huang Mian, blushing her cheeks and said: "What are you talking about! Stinky rascal!"
After speaking, she angrily picked up the lunch box and left.Anyway, Huang Mian is in the front hall, so she doesn't need to be guarded.
Huang Mian was anxious, and hurriedly tugged her, but it was a careless and excessive force that caused Tao Xiaochu's hand to become unstable and the lunch box fell directly to the ground.
Seeing Tao Xiaochu's lunch spilled all over the floor, Huang Mian instantly killed his own heart!
He was at a loss, saw Tao Xiaochu squatted down with a grieved expression, picked up the lunch box, and picked up the rice and pickles that had been spilled on the ground and installed it back.
"Xiao Tao, I'm sorry...I didn't mean it, really not!" Huang Mian said anxiously.
But Tao Xiaochu didn't speak, and silently walked to the water dispenser to receive most of the hot water in the lunch box, then closed the lid and shook it vigorously, and then filtered the hot water.
After doing this twice, the dirty rice was washed away, and her lunch became soaked in white rice, plus some pickles that had been washed white.
"Xiao Tao..." Huang Mian looked embarrassed, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Tao Xiaochu looked at him, sighed, then smiled again and said, "It's okay, you can eat this way."
"Why don't I buy you a fast food?" Huang Mian got up to go.
Tao Xiaochu stopped him in turn, and said seriously: "It's not necessary. I know you don't have much money now. They also said that you borrowed money from the boss for meals now. Blame me, you shouldn't say those things. of."
"This..." Huang Mian was even more embarrassed.
At this moment, he really wanted to explain the truth to Tao Xiaochu, telling her that he was actually very rich, really very rich!
But looking at Tao Xiaochu who was sitting down again and eating silently, Huang Mian's words were choked in his throat, and couldn't say anything.
Just listen to Tao Xiaochu eating while saying: "The cooked white rice! Can't be wasted. My dad is a farmer, so I have understood the hard work of every grain since I was a kid. It's just that he had a problem with his lumbar spine, so he didn't I can work in the field. My mother can only do some needlework to earn some change. For the rest, she counts on my salary."
She didn't know why she said this to Huang Mian.
Perhaps it was because he knew that he was once a rich man, and felt that he could not appreciate the indignation of the public's suffering?
Or maybe it is because you are not reconciled to your own destiny, but you have to face the frustration of fate?
Or, it’s just that you’ve never said this to others, so it’s a little bit easier to vent it, right?
Huang Mian felt very ashamed at this moment.
He originally thought that he had understood the true meaning of life, and could face all the suffering well.
Aside from the distance, just a little peach is enough to make him ashamed.
Only now did he understand that true poverty may not necessarily be painful. But that kind of sorrow and helplessness, he still can't understand even the slightest!
