Chapter 479 Wife, I’m going back.
When Xiaoying worked part-time at the dessert shop "Happy More," she wasn't quite used to it because she'd never made desserts before. She had to arrange the newly made desserts one by one in the dessert cabinet, sorting them by flavor. She stood on the second floor, carrying a tray of three small bowls of dessert: a cup of mango sago, taro-paste snow clams, and a strawberry jam tart. She slowly walked up the stairs, holding the shaky tray steady to avoid spilling anything. Tonight was her first day on the job!
Fortunately, Xiaoying stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, turned right slowly, and walked to the dining area on the second floor. Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief. She opened her eyes slightly, looked inside, held the dinner plate in her left hand, and gently pushed the door open with her right hand to enter.
Xiaoying walked in step by step. In the dining area on the second floor, several girls who looked like students were sitting at a crystal table. Xiaoying walked over, bent her legs slightly, placed her right hand on the plate, and slowly placed the plate on the crystal table. She straightened her waist slowly, lowered her eyebrows and nodded, saying: Hello, the dessert you ordered is here, please enjoy it.
Xiaoying finished speaking, picked up her plate and turned to leave. At this moment, a slightly startled voice sounded behind her: "Is this new here? I don't think I've seen you before, have I?" Xiaoying hadn't taken a step when her right leg stopped firmly. She turned around quickly, bent down and said: "Yes, I just came here tonight!"
The girl with a bun, big red lips and a fresh makeup, her eyes twinkled slightly, the sparkling gold sequined eyeshadow shimmering, she said calmly: It's okay, it's the dessert we ordered, you were a little late in bringing it upstairs, you should have walked faster.
Xiaoying raised her head, her clear, bright eyes fixed on the delicately made-up girl sitting at the opposite table. Was she walking slowly? She lowered her head, bowed deeply, and said, "Okay, I understand. I will do it next time. Anything else?" She smiled warmly, her eyes curved sweetly.
The girls with smoky makeup on both sides raised their eyes slightly and glanced at Xiaoying. They said lightly: It's okay, you can go down. Bring this taro paste snow clams over quickly because it's frozen. It will affect the taste if you bring it too late, okay?
Xiaoying straightened her back and bowed deeply, saying: Okay, I got it. I will come upstairs quickly next time. After that, Xiaoying straightened her back. When she was about to turn around, the girl with smoky makeup on her right said in a sweet voice: Wait a minute, sister, please help me get a matcha mousse jelly.
Xiaoying turned around slowly and looked at the girl with smoky makeup on her right. She smiled softly and said, "Please wait a moment!" After Xiaoying brought the matcha mousse jelly to the girl, she quickly walked downstairs and walked to the dining area downstairs. She glanced left and right. This dessert shop was neither big nor small, and many people came to eat there.
Xiaoying brought the freshly made desserts from the kitchen to the dining area, then walked to the right. She had been running in and out since half past eight. She felt dizzy, but she absolutely could not stop because of such a small situation. Xiaoying instantly seemed to be energized and very motivated. She placed the desserts ordered by the customers on the crystal table and walked to the dessert counter area.
The other two people wearing dessert shop work clothes were two boys, and she was the only girl. They were arranging the desserts in the dessert freezer into various shapes. Their hands and feet moved quickly and skillfully. Sometimes they arranged the desserts into a heart shape, sometimes into a flower shape, and sometimes into an eight shape. The way they arranged the desserts into these three shapes left Xiaoying stunned.
Desserts can be displayed like this... Soon, the two male waiters straightened their backs slowly. They turned around together and saw Xiaoying standing on the right. The two young male waiters smiled heartily and said: Our dessert shop is different from other dessert shops. You will get it if you watch more.
Xiaoying was startled, her eyes rolled slightly, then she nodded frantically and said: "Okay, okay, I'm watching. The shapes you arranged are so beautiful, hehehe." Xiaoying grinned innocently, and the two male shop assistants looked at Xiaoying. They pursed their lips and smiled at the same time and said: "This is all learned. We also learned from the supervisor for a long time before we learned it."
After working until the evening, Xiaoying finally had time to rest. She quickly walked to the rest area, sat down on the sofa, took out her phone from her work clothes, opened it and glanced at the screen.
Seeing a text message pop up on her phone screen, Xiaoying opened her eyes wide and clicked on it. It was from the young lady. She looked at the words on the screen and said, "Xiaoying, I see. You're working part-time at the dessert shop. I'm worried. At twelve o'clock sharp, I'll have my mother go downstairs and wait for you at the door of the apartment. You should work hard and don't think about anything else."
Xiaoying's eyes and nose suddenly felt sore. Her eyes turned slightly red, and hot tears stained her pupils. Her nose also felt sore. She sniffed and replied to the text message with both hands. After replying to the text message, Xiaoying raised her head again and put the phone into her long pocket. She raised her head and stood up from the sofa. No need to rest, let's get back to work!
Suddenly, Xiaoying thought of the young lady's charming and beautiful face. It turned out to be more comfortable to serve the young lady. She didn't know why she had to work part-time. Xiaoying raised her right hand and gently wiped the tears that were about to slide down from the corners of her eyes. Xiaoying walked towards the kitchen again.
In the apartment, Shen Jiayi's eyes were half red. Xu Lin put her head on her shoulder. The tears in her eyes wet her charming eyes, like a black diamond falling into the abyss, and her eyelashes were also wet. She blinked her eyelashes and said with her delicate lips slightly: I sent a text message to Xiaoying, remember to wait for Xiaoying at the apartment door at twelve o'clock, Mom.
Xu's mother nodded slightly. Shen Jiayi's eyelids began to feel sleepy again. She slowly closed her eyes. Xu's mother glanced at her and saw that she had closed her eyes again. She whispered helplessly: "This child has fallen asleep again. Hey, sleep well, Jiayi!"
Xu Lin slowly raised her hand to lift her head up. She stood up, slowly placed her body on the sofa, and put her legs on it. She straightened her back and walked towards the kitchen. From today on, she would make supper for Shen Jiayi. Xiaoying would be back at 1:00 am, so she walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Mother Xu glanced at the kitchen and walked to the counter. She opened the cupboard and looked around, then straightened up and made a camellia, tremella and red date soup for Shen Jiayi. She opened a rectangular tube in the cupboard, reached into the tube, touched something, and then took it out and put it on the counter.
There were camellias, roses, osmanthus flowers, lilies, and Chinese roses, all dried petals. Mother Xu was stunned, her eyes wide with surprise, she asked: Why did Jiayi buy so many dried petals? Could it be... Her eyes suddenly widened, she touched the dried petals with her hands and murmured: Could it be that Haohao bought these for me?
That should be it. Jiayi, I remember she only likes roses. This son-in-law Xia is really thoughtful. He bought so many for her. Mother Xu grabbed a handful of camellia petals, put the remaining dried petals into a long tube, covered it, and then put it in the cupboard. She straightened up.
After a while, a faint scent of camellia wafted from the kitchen. In a small brown pot, a midnight snack for Shen Jiayi was being cooked: camellia, tremella, and red date soup. The tremella had been cooked into a gelatinous consistency, and red dates were added. Camellia flowers were floating in the small pot and boiling.
Time passed by unknowingly, and it was past twelve o'clock. Sister Zhao, the owner of the dessert shop, glanced at the clock in the kitchen behind her. It was twelve fifteen. She turned around, her eyes rolled, and looked into the shop. She saw Xiaoying standing in the display cabinet at the door of the dessert shop. The desserts there were at room temperature and could be kept there.
She called out loudly: "Xiaoying, Xiaoying, it's past twelve o'clock, come in quickly to clean up the store and the kitchen, it's time to go home." Xiaoying was bending down and getting into the constant temperature cabinet, she was setting out some desserts to be sold tomorrow night.
The next second, she heard the boss lady calling her name. She straightened her back quickly and turned around. Xiaoying immediately closed the constant temperature cabinet and ran into the store. The boss lady was at the cashier counter, typing on the keyboard. Xiaoying walked over, her hands crossed on her skirt, looking at the boss lady.
The proprietress looked at the computer screen and typed with her right hand: Clean up the dining area and then go to the kitchen to clean up for the evening. You can go home now. You just came tonight, so I'll give you 500 yuan as salary. Do you want cash payment or monthly payment?
The proprietress said this, looking up at Xiaoying with a cold gaze. Xiaoying was stunned. What is it? Pay now or pay monthly... She doesn't understand? She frowned and said, "Um, Sister Zhao, what is pay now or pay monthly? I don't quite understand. This is my first time running a dessert shop."
The boss lady subconsciously asked "why". Xiaoying's eyes widened and she was stunned for a moment. The boss lady then explained to Xiaoying: "Our dessert shop's monthly salary is 5,000, and the current salary is 500. That's what it means to be nervous. If you work today, I will give you today's salary. The monthly salary is at the end of the month, and my family will pay you your regular salary for your part-time work. Do you understand?"
Xiaoying opened her mouth and said: Let's settle it monthly, Sister Zhao, let's settle it monthly. The proprietress said "hmm" lightly. Xiaoying bowed and bent down. She quickly ran to the dining area, picked up the garbage bags, papers, and beverage bottles on the table, and walked to the right dining area to clean up.
After cleaning, Xiaoying went straight to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, the sky fell. On the long table in the kitchen, there was a pile of flour, cream powder, spilled milk, egg white, and some fruits, whipping cream, and egg beaters, and fruit powder were piled on the table. All kinds of colors were mixed together. She moved forward.
Xiaoying took a deep breath. Xiaoying just thought of it as cleaning her own home. As the young lady said, don't think too much about it. She nodded, walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, picked up a long milk tea-colored rag, wet it and hung it on her wrist. She walked to the long table, placed the long rag on the table, and wiped it from inside to outside!
Half an hour later, Xiaoying still had to take the mop and broom to sweep away the black footprints, flour, cream and fruit powder on the clean floor. She did not delay at all and cleaned quickly. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Xiaoying finally finished cleaning the kitchen. She walked out of the kitchen with sore arms and legs.
The lady boss watched Xiaoying come out, then glanced at her watch. She said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoying. My two male employees are still college students, so you have to take care of the cleaning. Sister Zhao will give you a little more in the monthly salary, don't worry!"
Xiaoying turned her head and looked at Sister Zhao. She smiled and said: It's okay, Sister Zhao, I'll go first, see you tomorrow night! Sister Zhao nodded. Xiaoying's legs felt as if they were hit hard, and her arms and wrists felt as if they were hit several times with two punches. She walked out of the dessert shop.
In the early morning outside Ancheng, there were few people and not many vehicles on the road. Xiaoying crossed the road and walked towards the famous apartment. She turned her arms slightly and walked slowly. She wiped the long table until it was shiny and non-slip before she stopped.
When Xiaoying walked to the gate of the apartment and was about to enter through the electric gate in the middle, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: Xiaoying, Xiaoying, Xiaoying, why did you come back just now? Xiaoying paused and glanced sideways, and saw Mrs. Xu standing by the flower bed outside the gate of the apartment.
Xiaoying turned around, and Xu Lin walked over. She looked Xiaoying up and down. Xiaoying's eyebrows moved slightly, and she gently pulled the corners of her lips and said: "I'm fine, Madam. Is the young lady asleep? I haven't made her supper yet. I have to go back quickly."
Xu Lin looked at Xiaoying. She raised her hand and grabbed her arm. Xiaoying whimpered in pain. Her eyes, like water and moon, looked at Madam and chuckled: "What's wrong? Madam, I'm really fine, really!" Xu Lin looked at Xiaoying with a cold look in her eyes. She said helplessly: "I did it for her. You come back at one in the morning and don't disturb her sleep!"
Xiaoying said "Oh" softly. Xu Lin put her arm around her shoulders and they went into the middle door and returned to the apartment. Only the light in the dining room was on. Xu Lin pulled Xiaoying to the sofa and asked her to sit on it. Xiaoying sat down on the sofa and Xu's mother stood up and looked at Xiaoying.
She frowned, her eyes were slightly cold, and she moved her lips and said: Your arms, legs are sore, right? I knew it when you pulled the corner of your lips just now. Isn’t it good enough to take care of me? You still want to work part-time, Xiaoying, you really are, or I don’t pay you enough, so, I will give you an extra 20,000 every month.
Xiaoying's eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head and said: No, no, no, that's not what I meant, ma'am. I just wanted to work part-time. It does hurt, but it will be fine once you get used to it. There are two male college students working as clerks in the dessert shop, and they get off work at 11 o'clock, so I have to do the cleaning.
