Chapter 136 I'm Afraid of Dirt
Hua Rendong got up early and cooked a pot of rice porridge. She took out a plate of white flour steamed buns, a plate of salted duck eggs and a small jar of rice sauce made by Xu Xixi from the space.
Just as she was about to call Xu Shengnan to get up, someone knocked on the door outside. Hua Rendong opened the door and saw Liu Chang'e standing outside.
Liu Chang'e smiled as soon as she saw Hua Rendong, "Erhua, how was the matchmaking yesterday? The Du family told mom that their Du Xu liked you. Mom meant that if you agree, we can go get the marriage certificate soon."
Hua Honeysuckle sneered, "So anxious? You won't see the sun tomorrow, what's wrong?"
Liu Chang'e was stunned for a moment before she realized that Hua Rendong meant to curse her not to survive today. She was so angry that her face turned green. "How can you talk like that? Isn't this all for your own good? You also know what the Du family is like. Such good conditions, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. If you don't decide on someone soon, aren't you afraid that Du Xu will be snatched away by someone else?"
Hua Honeysuckle said, "How long have we known each other? You still need to compare prices before buying anything. For something as important as marriage, you should at least let me find out more about his character, right?"
Liu Chang'e got anxious when she heard this. "What's there to ask? Mom knows everything about the Du family. What if you don't trust Mom?"
Hua Jindong raised her nose to the sky, "Who knows? I was only five years old at the time, and you abandoned me, took the money from our family and ran away with a man. How can I trust you?"
Liu Chang'e felt overwhelmed when she heard people mention that she had embezzled money and cheated on someone, but this was the fact and she had no choice but to admit it. She could only say impatiently, "What else do you want to know? Mom knows everything about the Du family. Just ask me directly."
"I'll go and find out myself. I don't want to trouble you!" After saying that, Hua Honeysuckle slammed the door shut.
Liu Chang'e banged on the door desperately, "Child, how can you talk like that? Mom is doing this for your own good. The Du family is such a good family. If you don't settle down quickly, someone will snatch you away."
Hua Honeysuckle ignored her. Didn’t she want to sell her daughter to support a little man?
If she found out that Du Xu, who had a blind date with her yesterday, was fake, then with her relationship with Hao Min, it would be a piece of cake to make a small driver unemployed, right?
If Du Xu really loses his job, it would be strange if he doesn't make trouble for Liu Chang'e!
Xu Shengnan had been woken up by the knocking on the door. She also heard from the conversation between Hua Rendong and Fang Zimo yesterday that her mother wanted to exchange her for a gift. At this moment, she was looking at Hua Rendong worriedly, "Sister, do you want me to chase her away?"
Hua Rendong shook her head and said, "Eat, and then I'll take you to report to the unit."
Xu Shengnan still couldn't quite believe it. Not only did she now have a city hukou and a government-funded diet, she would also have a salaried job.
Although street sweeping is hard work in the eyes of others and most people look down on street sweepers, she is not afraid of hardship at all. Can it be harder than doing farm work in the countryside? Can it be harder than worrying all day about being sold to an old man?
Hua Rendong served Xu Shengnan a bowl of white rice porridge, added two spoonfuls of rice sauce to the porridge, and pushed it in front of her together with a white flour bun.
Xu Shengnan ate awkwardly, but fell in love with it after one bite. She had never dared to imagine that one day she would be able to drink white rice porridge and eat big white steamed buns, especially the rice sauce, which even contained meat. It was a delicacy that she had not tasted in her seventeen years of life.
Hua Rendong was afraid that she would feel embarrassed to eat, so after finishing her meal quickly, she pushed the pot of porridge and the steamed buns in front of her and said, "Wash the pot after you finish eating. I'll go back to the room to clean up. I won't be back to live here for a few days. You can take the leftovers to work to eat."
After Hua Rendong left, Xu Shengnan thought for a moment, drank all the porridge, and wrapped the steamed buns and salted duck eggs in paper. She didn't touch the rice sauce. Even if Hua Rendong said he wanted to give it to her, she would be embarrassed to take such a delicious sauce.
After Hua Rendong finished cleaning up, she saw the sauce on the table, found a rope, tied the lid and the jar tightly, and put it into a cloth bag along with the remaining steamed buns and salted duck eggs. When Xu Shengnan wasn't paying attention, she also stuffed ten yuan into it.
He stuffed the food into Xu Shengnan's arms and said, "I just got to work and I don't know what the situation is. If they don't provide meals, you won't go hungry if you bring some with you."
Xu Shengnan hummed dejectedly, tears flowing down her face again, but her eyes were full of longing for her future life.
Sui Yong had contacted the sanitation bureau yesterday, and Xu Shengnan's employment entry process went smoothly. After leaving the sanitation bureau, the two went to report to the area where Xu Shengnan was going to work. After getting the work schedule, they went to the dormitory arranged by the unit for Xu Shengnan.
The sanitation department did not have a dormitory, so Xu Shengnan was arranged to live in a dormitory nearby the textile factory. The street she was responsible for was right outside the dormitory gate.
The person from the management office brought the two people to the dormitory, gave Xu Shengnan a key and left.
The dormitory is a four-person room, about 20 square meters. At this time, everyone else has gone to work. Looking at the bedding on the beds and the cabinets at the head of the bed, three people are already living there, leaving only a lonely bed near the door.
Hua Rendong brought her the quilt that Xu Shengnan slept on last night. While watching Xu Shengnan make the bed, she encouraged her, "You stay here first, and come back with me later to get the wash basin and thermos. I will find a place for you to study in the next few days. You should study hard with your teacher. When you have learned enough, look for jobs that are hiring and I will keep an eye out for you. Anyway, I can't let you sweep the streets for the rest of your life."
I'm always worried about your little face getting up early to sweep the streets. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and grab a piece of cloth. Cover your face when you sweep the streets next time so that people won't stare at you."
Xu Shengnan hugged Hua Rendong's arm and said, "Sister, why are you so nice to me? You've thought of everything for me."
Honeysuckle patted her rough little face gently. At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside and a young woman in a light blue windbreaker walked in.
After glancing at the two of them, he looked at Xu Shengnan with disdain and asked, "Are you the street sweeper?"
Xu Shengnan was timid by the contempt in the woman's eyes, and forced a smile, "Well! Comrade, you work in a textile factory?"
The woman hummed proudly and pointed to the bed on the left side and said, "This is my bed. Don't touch my things. I like cleanliness and can't stand dirty things."
Xu Shengnan was just ignorant, not that she couldn't tell good from bad. After hearing what the woman said, her face turned a little ugly. Hua Rendong was about to stand up for her, but was stopped by Xu Shengnan.
Then Xu Shengnan asked, "Comrade, what are you talking about?"
The woman looked Xu Shengnan up and down, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
Xu Shengnan was so angry that she laughed. She pointed at the bed she had just made and said, "Comrade, this is my bed. Although I am a street sweeper, I also like to be clean. Don't touch my bed. I am afraid of dirt!"
