Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 35

Xu Nannan brought the quilt and made the bed with Xu Xiaoman.

The beds next to him were already made, but no one was seen. At this time, the person hasn't got off work yet, and it is estimated that he has not yet returned. Xu Nannan took out the toiletries from his backpack, which he picked from the Taobao shop and matched the specifications of this era. White enamel mug, white toothbrush, wooden comb.

Xu Nannan also prepared two rectangular aluminum lunch boxes, one for her and one small. There is no meal in the canteen of the mine, so you have to take your own ticket to eat. The Guardian soldiers took her to get a one-month meal ticket. However, Xiaoman is not from the mine. Uncle Wei and the others have helped him to stay in the dormitory. The meal ticket is fixed, so it was not issued. The ticket for dual-use for sister is definitely not enough. Xu Nannan wondered about finding someone to buy some. .

As soon as I cleaned it up, it was time for lunch.

As soon as Xu Nannan was about to take Xu Xiaoman to dinner, a young girl came to the dormitory. He is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very generous appearance. Seeing Xu Nannan, I curiously said, "Are you Xu Nannan who was assigned to our dormitory?"

Xu Xiaoman saw the stranger, and subconsciously hid behind Xu Nannan.

Seeing this person's kindness, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Xu Nannan, I only came to the mine today. I will work in the cafeteria from now on. This is my sister Xu Xiaoman. I don't know how to call you."

After coming to the mine, Xu Nannan decided to speak Mandarin.

Zhu Fang was surprised when Xu Nannan spoke Mandarin. At this time, Mandarin is still very popular. Except for those who have read some books, many people still speak dialects.

She smiled, "My name is Zhu Fang, I should be older than you. You can call me Sister Fangfang from now on." She looked at Xu Xiaoman, who was timid, and smiled, "Don't be afraid, we will all live together in the future. . You haven’t eaten yet, let’s go, let’s go to the cafeteria for dinner. Today, I have pork stewed vermicelli.

After finishing talking, he went into the house to get the tableware. Seeing that there was no other person in the room, he muttered, "These two are really clever. They know that the pork stewed vermicelli today, I guess they brought their lunch boxes to work."

He took the lunch box and came out quickly, "Go and go, it's gone when it's late."

Xu Nannan was not hungry at first, and she couldn't help swallowing when she heard her look yearning when she mentioned the pork stewed vermicelli. Is it possible that the master chef in the cafeteria stewed vermicelli so delicious?

"See you, the one who sells food in the middle is called Jiang Lili, who is also in our dormitory." While queuing, Zhu Fang pointed to a window in the middle. Xu Nannan looked specifically at it. It was a young girl wearing a military green jacket, with two braids, Qi bangs, and a pointed chin. The person in front took a step forward, and Xu Nannan also took a step forward, only to see clearly that the girl was a single eyelid.

Finally it was Xu Nannan's turn.

Zhu Fang hit the food and left with a smile. Later Xu Nannan also handed over the meal ticket, two lunch boxes. Jiang Lili glanced at her and saw Xu Xiaoman again. With a serious expression, the spoon made a spoon on it and put it in Xu Nannan's bowl.

After seeing the posture of old lady Xu cooking a lot, Xu Nannan could see that the doorway was coming.

Looking at the pitiful pieces of meat and fans in his bowl, Xu Nannan knew that this person was deliberate.

She suddenly became a little angry. She had never had any contact with this Jiang Lili at all in the mines, so she was targeted at her for no apparent reason.

Although he was dissatisfied, but thinking that he had just come to the mine, it would be difficult to argue with people about this matter, Xu Nannan held two bowls in silence to find a location.

"Xu Nannan, here." Zhu Fang beckoned.

Xu Nannan led Xu Xiaoman to her side.

"How can I give you so few dishes?" Zhu Fang frowned when he looked at the pork vermicelli in their bowl. She and Jiang Lili are in the same room, and they usually cook at Jiang Lili's side, and they will feed her more, so every time she eats at Jiang Lili's window. Why is there so little Xu Nannan. She just told Jiang Lili about their dormitory.

"Maybe it's not enough." Xu Nannan said casually.

Zhu Fang didn't believe this. It's not too late for them to come. When they first played, there was a big pot in it. And Xu Nannan is in their dormitory, so how about taking care of it. What is Jiang Lili thinking about.

Zhu Fang was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it. Lest others think she is picking things up.

"I have too much, let's eat together." Zhu Fang pulled the pork vermicelli in the bowl into the two bowls of sister.

Xu Nannan hurriedly stopped, "Sister Fang, I have enough, Xiao Man and I can't eat much."

After speaking, he smiled and said, "I will also be working in the kitchen from tomorrow, so I can eat."

Zhu Fang didn't force it anymore and took the chopsticks back, and then looked at Sister Xu Nannan and smiled, "I know you two, I heard my aunt mentioned it before."

Xu Nannan was a little confused, not knowing when she knew Zhu Fang's aunt.

Zhu Fang smiled, "My aunt is the director of the Women's Federation at the mine."

"Are you Aunt Zhu's niece?" Xu Nannan said in surprise. Before, she felt that Zhu Fang was a little familiar with her, and she felt a little strange. After all, the first time I met and took such care of them, is this person too enthusiastic?

Now that she knew she was Zhu Liping's niece, she was relieved. Aunt Zhu is also a very warm and good person.

"Before you came, my aunt said, let us get along well in the future. It just so happens that we are in a dormitory."

Zhu Fang didn't say too clearly.

In fact, her aunt said that when Sister Xu Nannan said that, "Xiaofang, don't say you are pitiful, you are a stepmother, and people are still relatives, so please be content."

Zhu Fang lost her mother at the age of three, and her father found a stepmother to come in the next year. The stepmother also brought a two-year-old girl. Later he gave birth to a younger brother. A stepmother has a stepdad. Her father was afraid of his wife. According to the Sichuanese in the mine, he was a raking ear. Therefore, Zhu Fang's life at home is also unhappy. However, she inherited her own mother's sharp temperament and has an aunt to maintain it, so she has not been short of food and clothing these years. Anyway, when I was wronged at home, I asked my aunt to complain.

After learning about Xu Nannan, she felt a little bit of pity for the same illness. Seeing Xu Nannan's thin appearance, she immediately believed what her aunt said. The two children are pitiful.

Knowing that Zhu Fang was Zhu Liping's niece, Xu Nannan was no longer on guard. Openly chatted with her.

Zhu Fang wondered how she could speak Mandarin, and Xu Nannan said that she learned it from the village elementary school teacher.

Zhu Fang was convinced, and asked her why she came to the mine.

The people in the mine were all guessing about this, and Zhu Fang was also very curious in her heart. It's not jealous. After all, she herself entered the mine early, and she was a full-time employee. She worked as an official in the mining committee, which was a decent job.

Of course, Xu Nannan didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only sloppy, "I wonder, I wondered, did the mine leader know about me last time, so the mine leader kindly helped."

Zhu Fang touched his chin, "My aunt said the same. It seems that the old men in our mine are kind of humane." She stretched out her hand and patted Xu Nannan on the shoulder, "Xu Nannan, please work hard, try to get right early."

Xu Nannan was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked serious, "Gu Officer Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the trust of the organization."

Zhu Fang didn't expect Xu Nannan to be quite humorous, and laughed happily.

Jiang Lili looked at Zhu Fang and Xu Nannan chatting happily in the window, her mouth crooked.

After eating, Zhu Fang will go to work in the office. Although they have a break at noon at work, it is not long, and there are too many things, and there is no break at all.

Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman back to the dormitory by himself.

No one will come to the dormitory. It is estimated that people have gone to work again.

"Sister, shall we stay here?" Xu Xiaoman looked out the door with bright eyes.

Xu Nannan immediately saw her thoughts and patted her thigh, "Don't wait, let's go outside. By the way, buy some school supplies for Xiaoman. After my sister goes to work, you will do your homework at home."

Xu Xiaoman's eyes lit up, not for school supplies, but for going out for shopping as Xu Nannan said earlier.

"Nannan, your sisters are going out." When they arrived at the gate of the mine, the Guardian said hello with a smile.

"Uncle Wei." Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman shouted in unison.

Xu Nannan smiled and curled his eyes, "Uncle Wei, let's go out and go shopping, and we will start work tomorrow. I will prepare first."

"Okay, go early and return early." Wei Guobing smiled and waved, feeling relieved in his heart. These two sisters are getting better and better. Looking at the back of the two sisters, Wei Guobing remembered Xu Jiansheng, who had asked for leave today, and couldn't help thinking that in the future, the father and daughter will not see and bow their heads, nor do they know what will happen to Director Xu.

Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to the post office first and bought some stamps. Once he was born and then cooked again, it was no joke this time. However, the teller saw that she used a few dollars to buy stamps to play with, and wondered if this adult pampered the children too much.

Nobody gives children so much pocket money.

Fortunately, Xu Nannan didn't hear it, otherwise he would have to vomit a mouthful of blood.

After coming out of the post office, Xu Nannan took Xu Xiaoman to the supply and marketing agency for stationery. She also has stationery in her Taobao store, but it is still very different from the products of this era. For example, paper is very different. Although Xu Nannan has a Taobao shop, he still wants to be more secretive. Try to buy things that can be bought in this era.

Seeing that she was buying too much, Xu Xiaoman took Xu Nannan's hand and whispered, "Sister, buy less, I'll save a little bit, it's enough."

They just came to the city, they didn't have anything. How can I spend money indiscriminately. Seeing the money spent, she started to feel pain.

Xu Nannan looked at her in pain, and smiled, "It's okay. Sister has a job now, and she will be able to get paid in the future. You can save everything, but you can't do homework."

Xu Xiaoman looked at these books, fell silent for a while, and asked, "Sister, can I use it with Xiaoling."

Xu Nannan froze for a moment, knowing in his heart that he and Xiao Man are different after all. Xiao Man is the real Xiao Man, so the relationship with Xiao Ling's sisters is also real. And she is fake, so she has never really been brought into this role. When she first bought something, she really didn't come first to buy it for Xiaoling.

This can't work, it's her sister. Xu Nannan smiled and touched her little head, "Of course we can, we are sisters."

Well, I have two girls. Although Xu Ling insisted that Xu Jiansheng send her to study, she always felt that Xu Jiansheng's couple was not as reliable as her. A long way to go.

"Did you know where Xu Nannan took, so he came to our cafeteria."

Jiang Lili sat in the canteen and asked a young man.

"No, Lili, I don't think so, things are settled, I just go back and talk to my mother."

"Forget it, I finally managed to do it, but I was cut off, can this be forgotten. I don't know who did it, so I just settled in. Anyway, I am also in the cafeteria. The old man won’t say hello in advance."

The young man rubbed his head honestly, "My sister doesn't really want to come here either..."

"But how can I come, we are all getting married, your house is the same room, she won't come out, where are we? Just follow your parents in the same room, she is a big girl, and her brother-in-law in the same room, embarrassed Do not?"

Jiang Lili gets annoyed thinking about this. She and Zhang Liang both talked about marriage and married, and they didn't dislike Zhang Liang's lack of a house, anyway, as long as there was a place to sleep. The key is that Zhang Liang is a registered permanent residence in the city. She just wants to marry Zhang Liang and will be a city resident in the future. Originally thinking of bringing Zhang Liang's sister to work in a mine, she would be able to live in a dormitory in the future. When everything was arranged, they were cut off.

I feel unhappy at all.

Zhang Liang was a little afraid of this tempered object, and asked, "What should I do? I heard that Xu Nannan is the daughter of Director Xu. As you know, Director Xu will take care of us. I can’t offend him. People."

"Look at you for that good point. What's wrong with his daughters? Everyone is equal now. Besides, I heard that Director Xu is not dealing with his daughters. I had to sell daughters before. Did Director Xu not go to work today?"

"seems like it."

Jiang Lili smiled, "That's right, this girl is not rare to be a father at all. What are you afraid of. I don't believe it, she can always be in this mine. When she leaves, let Xiaomei come over. ."

Zhang Liang was still a little nervous, "I still don't think it's great. Everyone is here, and it's quite pitiful..."

"What's wrong with you? You don't want to get married anymore. If you don't want to get married, you can say as soon as possible. There are many people who want to marry me. Hmph, don't think it's because I don't know. Is your girl making trouble at home again and not wanting to work? Who do you think she is, Miss Qianjin, how old she is, and she is still raised by the family. What do you do with reading so many books? I didn't even study and still earn money to support the family."

Hearing her scolding her sister, Zhang Liang felt a little uncomfortable, but he dared not say a word. I can only hope that Xu Nannan will be driven away by Jiang Lili. In this way, his sister will not be able to work in the mine.

Regardless of what Zhang Liang thought, Jiang Lili made up her mind so that Xu Nannan could not stay here. It's just a temporary worker. If he can't wait any longer, he just left. Who will keep her?

When Xu Nannan returned to the mine, it was almost dark.

Knowing that I don't have much time to accompany Xiaoman in the future, I had a good time shopping today, and I took Xiaoman to eat a meal of fried rice noodles with pork in the restaurant outside.

When I returned to the dormitory, there were already people inside.

Zhu Fang is also inside, folding clothes. Seeing Xu Nannan coming back, he smiled and said hello, "Why didn't I see you when I first ate. I thought you had eaten it early."

"I went out shopping with Xiao Man." Xu Nannan led Xiao Man into the dormitory. Secretly looked at another person.

Xu Nannan had met Jiang Lili and knew that this person was not Jiang Lili. It was leaning on the bed on one side of her, with a student head, with ordinary facial features and a la carte look.

"This is Wu Qing, and it's in our dormitory." Zhu Fang stood up to introduce someone, "Wu Qing, this is Nannan, you should get along well in the future."

Wu Qing looked at Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman, then smiled, "Hello,"

It seems to be easy to get along with. Xu Nannan was happy and smiled, "My name is Xu Nannan and this is my sister Xiaoman."

Zhu Fang smiled, "You are about the same age, I remember Wu Qing is only sixteen."

Wu Qing nodded. Then asked Xu Nannan, "Where do you work?"

"I do a temporary job in the cafeteria." Xu Nannan said openly.

Wu Qing smiled more sincerely upon hearing this. "I work in the production department of the mine as an apprentice. I have a chance to become a regular employee in the future."

The production department seems to be in charge of Xu Jiansheng.

Xu Nannan nodded. Smiled, "That's good."

The three of them made an appointment together to get hot water and came back, washed up casually, and were ready to go to bed. When she went to bed, Jiang Lili came back, opened the door, and deliberately glanced in Xu Nannan's direction with a bit of contempt in her eyes. She deliberately clinked the basin.

Zhu Fang was braiding her braids, and when she heard the voice, she frowned and looked at her, "What's wrong, it's not too noisy in the middle of the night."

"Who would let so many people live, it's abnormal if it's not noisy." Jiang Lili said with a crooked mouth. Staring at Xu Nannan's bed was clearly aimed at Xu Nannan.

Xu Xiaoman was a little frightened, so Xu Nannan hugged her and turned around, not looking at Jiang Lili. She is not afraid of Jiang Lili, but she doesn't want to make trouble when she comes. People didn't name them, and if she made trouble, it was her fault.

Zhu Fang also couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and stomped, "If you feel noisy, go to the logistics department. Don't make trouble in the dormitory. If you don't sleep, others will still sleep."

Jiang Lili knew that Zhu Fang's aunt was the director of the Women's Federation, and did not want to quarrel with her. Seeing that Xu Nannan didn't respond, he felt a little angry. Seeing that Wu Qing was about to go to bed, she kicked the basin, "It's hot water, why didn't I get hot water."

Wu Qing paused, pursing her mouth and stood up to pour hot water for her.

When Zhu Fang saw this, he hated iron but not steel, but he didn't say anything again. I just defended the two sisters Xu Nannan, first because of her aunt's instructions, and second, because Jiang Lili's behavior just disturbed the entire bedroom. Now she only targeted Wu Qing, so she didn't need to speak.

The cafeteria went to work earlier than other departments. When Xu Nannan reported, the logistics department also specifically told her.

It was just after four o'clock, Xu Nannan got up from the bed secretly.

Putting on the clothes lightly, took the toiletries and went outside to wash. Only halfway through the wash, Jiang Lili also yawned out of the house. Seeing Xu Nannan outside, Jiang Lili snorted, "Our mine is a good unit, not all cats and dogs can come. Don't mess around depending on who you are."

There is no one outside now. Xu Nannan heard her say this, smiled and vomited mouthwash, wiped her face with a towel, and looked at Jiang Lili, "Who are you, do you think you are a mine manager, don't you also work in the cafeteria? What's so good? Cocky."

Jiang Lili didn't expect that the local girl who acted like a bun yesterday would dare to refute her, and she gritted her teeth angrily. "You say it again and try it again."

"What's wrong, but I still want to do it. This is a mine, not a place for cats and dogs to mess around. If you want to make trouble, let's try it. Jiang Lili, don't think I am afraid of you, I am too lazy to make trouble with you. You too Knowing that I am someone’s daughter, then you also know that I am not even afraid of someone, and I can still be afraid of you? If you want to make trouble in front of my sister next time, let's see!"

Xu Nannan put aside his harsh words, and entered the house with a basin. Jiang Lili was left standing beside the sink and stomped angrily.

Xu Nannan was not afraid to hear the sound, and a somewhat mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She is not afraid of Jiang Lili at all. She grew up in an orphanage in her previous life. She has met everyone before, no one can support her, and she can only rely on herself. If she was really afraid of things, she would have been bullied to death a long time ago.

She is not even afraid of old fairies like Mrs. Xu, can she still be afraid of Jiang Lili?

After tidying up, Xu Nannan immediately went to the cafeteria to report with high spirits.

Master Du, the master chef of the cafeteria, is a bald and big belly uncle. The belly is too big, the face is fat, and he smiles like Maitreya Buddha. The acquaintances called him Master Du.

When he was in the logistics department, Master Da Du saw Xu Nannan. Seeing her small body, he was a little worried that the child would not be able to work.

Seeing that she had come to work early on the first day, she arranged a light job for her.

When Jiang Lili came, she saw Xu Nannan choosing dishes. This dish is to be eaten at noon, so don't worry. Xu Nan Nanguang can spend the whole morning doing this.

"Master Du, everyone is busy this morning, so some people don't have to work."

Master Da Du looked around seriously, "Who, who didn't work, didn't they all work."

"Only those dishes are eaten at noon, and there is no hurry. You don't need anyone to cook later." Jiang Lili lifted her chin toward Xu Nannan.

She just couldn't understand the temporary worker sitting there and choosing vegetables.

Everyone stood there all morning, so why can she sit as a temporary worker.

Master Da Du was a little unhappy when she heard that Jiang Lili had almost named her surname. But he has always had a good temper, and he doesn't want to care about a young girl. "Nan Nan is still young, so let her adapt first. When you first came, didn't you adapt to it for a while?" Don't even talk about choosing vegetables at that time, the girl didn't even move her finger.

This is one of the reasons why Master Da Du is not optimistic about Xu Nannan. The leaders introduced are generally not people who work.

"Master Du, please don't fawn on others just because they are the daughters of the leaders. This is messing up the rules of the mine. Ask everyone, is it appropriate for her to sit down?"

Speaking of this, Xu Nannan put down the food in his hand and stood up and said, "Master Du, see if you can arrange something else for me. I can work."

Look at what a nice girl, sensible. Master Du was touched and felt that Xu Nannan didn't embarrass him, so he took the initiative.

It seems that the people arranged by the leadership are still different.

Jiang Lili saw that Xu Nannan had finally stood up to work as she said, and felt a little happy. Just as she was about to speak, she listened to Master Du saying, "Nan Nan, when I will steam the buns, you will follow and I will teach you."

"Good." Xu Nannan responded crisply. Although she came to the cafeteria for a casual walk, she didn't really mess around. Since Li Chengwen has arranged for her the job, she will do it well and will never embarrass others.

Hearing that Master Du was going to teach Xu Nannan personally, Jiang Lili's pride suddenly felt like eating a fly.

Master Du is the head of this big canteen. There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship. Even the buns are better than the ones in the restaurants outside.

Jiang Lili has always wanted to learn something, but Master Du never taught her, and now teaches a temporary worker. Although she was just making buns, she actually slapped her in the face!

Jiang Lili was stunned here, but Xu Nannan had already started making buns with Master Du.

Said it is a steamed bun, but in fact there is no filling.

Master Du told Xu Nannan while pinching the steamed buns and steamed buns. "Don't look at the simplicity of pinching the buns, you have to pinch the same size and look neatly, or else the one that is good, the other that is not good, you have to be anxious."

Master Du pinched a few, just look at what Xu Nannan pinched. Xu Nannan squeezed a dozen of them on his hand, and they were neatly squeezed.

"Have you studied before?"

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "I just watched you pinch it, just follow it." That's the blame... She has played countless part-time jobs in her previous life. The longest time was to work in the school cafeteria bun shop. At that time, she had to go to class and pinch the buns, which naturally also worked out.

"Not bad, not bad," Master Du nodded excitedly. I feel I have found a good seed. To work in the cafeteria, you have to be swift and clever.

Don't think that all cats and dogs can come to the cafeteria. Master Du glanced at Jiang Lili who was chatting with others.
