Chapter 365: Xiao Chu
No matter how blizzard is, it will finally stop. Although it only takes a few hours without work, it is already a great luxury for those migrant workers who work on the construction site.
"Well, you should also go back to bed early. I don't think there will be any guests tonight." Uncle Xie looked at the sky outside and made a judgment.
As soon as the waiters heard this, they immediately took off their work clothes happily and said goodbye to Uncle Xie, "Goodbye, Uncle Xie!" Then he went back to shoulder in twos and threes.
In the big store, only Uncle Xie and the pale-faced employee were left: "Xiao Chu, you can go back too."
"I'll leave as soon as I finish my work." Xiao Chu replied.
Uncle Xie didn't insist any more. He knew Xiao Chu's character. He was a man who knew how to think in his heart.
I remember that half a year ago, I was just about to close the store, but suddenly, Xiao Chu, who was dressed in rags, came to the door. Uncle Xie was shocked by his pale face and thought, "Why is his face so pale?"
He looked at it for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you want to hire someone here?" At that time, there was a sense of air in his words.
Uncle Xie came to his senses, shook his head and said, "We don't need manpower here for the time being."
"Oh." His face was slightly disappointed, and he turned his head and left.
Uncle Xie looked at his departing back and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He was so shabby and spoke so bluntly. How could he find a job?
Maybe it's fate. Maybe Uncle Xie felt that he was too similar to when he came out to do things at the beginning of the year. He was also full of helplessness. He couldn't bear to stop him and said, "I want someone here, but the salary is not high. Will you do it?"
"Do it." His face was obviously full of joy.
"Then you can come early tomorrow morning!" Uncle Xie began to regret a little at this time. Why did he invite such an unknown person?
The next day, he still came over in that tattered clothes, but the clothes were obviously washed and much cleaner. Uncle Xie began to think, would he only have such a suit?
Although Uncle Xie said that the salary given to him was not high, it was actually a little higher than others, and Uncle Xie specially paid him half a month's salary in advance so that he could buy some daily necessities.
However, the next morning, he still came in that tattered clothes. Uncle Xie did not ask at that time. He thought that everyone had their own difficulties. If others didn't want to say it, why did he have to ask?
Because of his taciturnity, the other employees in the store were not too close to him. After getting along with him for a long time, Uncle Xie knew that he had an accident three years ago and lost his memory, and his ID card was also broken. Mi Qiang could only see that there was a word Chu in his name, so Uncle Xie called him Xiao Chu.
And Uncle Xie knew that three years ago, a girl picked him up on the street and took care of him day and night for almost half a year before he woke up, and then he lay in ** for more than a year before he could go to the ground.
After a while, he came out to look for a job. The purpose was to let the one who took care of him for more than two years. His sister went back to school to study. Uncle Xie finally knew where his money was spent. Now, it is not easy for a high school student to study!
"Okay, almost done, Xiao Chu, you go back first!" Uncle Xie said that the cloth in his hand grabbed over. Xiao Chu still wanted to object, but Uncle Xie said, "The work can't be finished. Let's do it tomorrow. It may change tonight. Go back and see Xiaoxue quickly!"
"Well...all right." Xiao Chu thought for a while and agreed.
Uncle Xie thought it was rare. In the past six months, Xiao Chu has been the highest employee who came to the store, and he worked until the latest every day. He closed the door of the store with Uncle Xie before leaving.
Now he is willing to leave early, which is really a little surprising. Of course, Uncle Xie is not reluctant to let him leave, but Xiao Chu took two steps, but Uncle Xie suddenly stopped him: "Xiao Chu, wait, a guest ordered ribs today and didn't eat much. I'll pack it for you!"
"No." Xiao Chu echoed and refused. Uncle Xie knew that Xiao Chu was a very temperamental person. He was unwilling to accept charity from others, but he also had a way to deal with Uncle Xie: "If you don't eat it yourself, you can take it back to Xiaoxue to eat. She is about to take the college entrance examination, and she needs to take good nutrition!"
Uncle Xie knows that when it comes to Xiao Chu's sister Xiao Xue, then Xiao Chu will definitely compromise, because he has only one relative in this world.
"Okay!" As Uncle Xie guessed, Xiao Chu did not refuse again.
It didn't take long for Uncle Xie to take out a bag of vegetables from the kitchen, handed them over to Xiao Chu, and urged, "Let's go quickly. It's troublesome if you can't leave later."
"I see. Thank you, Uncle Xie." Xiao Chu thanked him, but he didn't change his work clothes, so he rushed into the wind and snow.
Uncle Xie looked at the back of Xiao Chu's departure, and there was a feeling in his heart. He seemed to see a hidden dragon that was about to ascend to the sky. This was not the first time he had it.
Uncle Xie shook his head and sighed, "When you are old, you like to think nonsense!"
Xiao Chu braved the wind and rain to walk home. In fact, his family only had a shed dormitory built when the Canwei Building was built. In the end, I don't know why. The unfinished building was not rebuilt, and the workers also moved away but did not demolish the shed, which made Xiao Chu cheaper.
Although this hut is not very wind-shielded, it is still strong. His bed is made up from red bricks, with a broken mattress, which is more than one meter high. At this moment, Xiao Chu is still thinking about how Xiaoxue brought him to bed when he was in a coma.
Although he was suspicious, he didn't ask. He just needed to remember to take good care of Xiaoxue in the future. Fortunately, Xiaoxue was also cheerful and talked a lot. She told Xiaochu. At that time, she was begging by the roadside. Suddenly, she saw a car passing over a pit and shook. Then the back door of the car opened, and he rolled out of the car. Come down.
At that time, the driver of the car drove the car away as if he hadn't found it. Because the speed was too fast and it happened too suddenly, Xiaoxue couldn't remember the number of the car, and finally had to move him back.
In those years, Xiaoxue was 16 years old. Because she was born with heart problems, she could not do heavy work, and she had no knowledge or education, so she had to go to the street to beg for a living.
It's hard to imagine how a weak woman who lives by begging and is naturally weak to take care of a coma man for more than two years.
Xiao Chu returned home, lit a candle, and found that Xiaoxue had not come back yet. He didn't think much about it. After all, Xiaoxue's school was a little far from home, and the sensible girl was reluctant to give up the two yuan bus money and walked for more than an hour to and from work every day.
However, seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, and Xiaoxue had not come back, Xiao Chu couldn't help but be anxious, blew out the candlelight, put on a coat and walked out.
As he walked, the wind and snow began to be fierce, and there were no pedestrians on the road. If anyone saw him now, he would be very surprised.
Why, can his speed be so fast? And each step seems to have a specific twist, which looks like a river flowing smoothly.
Originally, it took more than an hour to get there. When he appeared in front of Hulan No. 2 Middle School, a security guard came up and said, "Beggars, what are you doing?"
Hulan No. 2 Middle School is an aristocratic school. The students studying in it are not rich or noble. Naturally, the security guard will not let people in casually?
It's just that Xiao Chu's clothes are only a little old now, but they are still complete. Why don't they look like a restaurant!
"I'm looking for someone." Xiao Chu's tone was a little cold. Since he woke up and found that he had lost his memory, he seemed to be wary of everyone in the world.
In the past few years, what he really believes is that only Xiao Xue and Uncle Xie, and the rest of the people, he is still instinctively on guard and unwilling to have more contact with people. That's why he doesn't always communicate with other employees in the store, let alone chat with guests.
"Who are you looking for?" The security guard looked impatient, and at this time, the other two security guards came out from the depths of the campus: "Brother Xiong, what's the matter? Is this boy coming to make trouble?"
"This boy came to find someone, but I asked him who he was looking for, but he didn't say." What is the crime of wanting to add? The security guard named Brother Xiong just asked. Before Xiao Chu could answer the other two security guards, he came out to interrupt him, but how could the responsibility still be on Xiao Chu's head?
Maybe it's Xiao Chu who doesn't look like a person with status. All these snobbish security guards will look down on people like this.
"Kid, who are you looking for?" Two new security guards asked.
Xiao Chu was worried about Xiaoxue and didn't care too much about them. He said in a low voice, "Chu Xue!" Xiaoxue is an orphan and has no surname. When Xiao Chu recognized her as her sister, she didn't care whether "Chu" was Xiao Chu's surname or not, and forced Xiao Chu to help her change her surname.
Because of this, Xiao Chu spent hundreds of yuan to the Civil Affairs Bureau and sent a good cigarette to do it.
"Chu Yun?" The three security guards looked at each other with a strange look on their faces. The security guard named Brother Xiong said, "Go in, brother, you just offended me."
Xiao Chu doesn't understand why the attitude of these security guards is so different? But he didn't think much about it and plunged into the school.
