95. New job

95 New Job

The next morning, Lin Wenxi went to Grandma Wang to get some water to wash herself, and then went out to look for a job. She had no documents, and went to some factories, but they were already full. After all, almost all the families in their area were poor, and everyone needed such jobs to make a living.

So she could only go to a middle school that was a little further away, and try to see if there was a job she could do there. Finally, she saw hope in a bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore was a very young man, very good-looking, wearing a white casual suit, and very gentle. His name was Chen Mo. When Lin Wenxi saw him for the first time, she was stunned for a few seconds. He was good-looking but not feminine. The most important thing was that his temperament was outstanding. To say something that made Lin Wenxi blush, that was that he had a feeling of being out of touch with the world.

After hearing her situation, the man let her stay very straightforwardly, and she could start work immediately. The work was not tiring, just helping them organize the bookshelves and collecting money at the counter. He also told him that some Kaifeng books could be read. Chen Mo even told him that if he didn't have a penny, he could advance him half a month's salary, at least so that he could live.

　　Lin Wenxi was very grateful after hearing this. In fact, he really didn't expect to meet such a good boss right after he came out.

　　Chen Mo simply taught him what to do and how to do the work, such as which kind of books are generally placed on which bookshelf and how the price of books is calculated. Lin Wenxi quickly memorized it. After all, it's not a difficult thing.

　　It's lunch break at 2 pm. There is basically no one in the bookstore. Lin Wenxi and Chen Mo sit on the chair at the counter and chat.

"You're working at such a young age?"

Lin Wenxi nodded, "Not really, I'm 18."

Chen Mo smiled and touched his head, "But you look at most 16. How could your family allow you to come out? Is your family financially poor?"

"I... don't have any family..." His mother has passed away, and Grandma Wang is actually his family, but he couldn't help but think of that man again, and Lin Wenxi's eyes dimmed a little.

The man was stunned at first. Then he said "sorry".

"It's okay." The child shook his head. In fact, in just one morning, Lin Wenxi fell in love with the owner of the bookstore, not only because he kept her job, but also because he was very considerate, a really nice person, and had a nice voice.

In just one morning, Lin Wenxi found that the business of this store was very good, most of them were female students from the middle school next door, they seemed to like Chen Mo very much, and they always pestered him to talk when checking out. No wonder the man wanted to find a cashier. It must be very tiring to deal with so many girls' offensives, but the man always had a smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable. No wonder so many people chase after such a boy.

　　I couldn't help but think of that man again. He was also outstanding, but his temperament was completely different from Chen Mo's. However, he was also the type that attracted girls. That man always had the feeling of a king who was high above everyone else. Thinking of the way he was beaten last time, Lin Wenxi still felt sympathetic. Such a person was because of her... I don't know if his wounds have healed... Will there be scars after scabbing... Lin Wenxi realized that she was thinking about that man again, and quickly shook her head to forget about him.

　　Chen Mo looked at the child immersed in his own world and didn't say anything.

　　When Lin Wenxi was about to go back in the afternoon, Chen Mo actually gave him half a month's salary. Although it was one thing, Lin Wenxi was still stunned when the man really did it.

"I... I can't take it..."

　　"Why?"

　　"So much money... and I've only worked for one day..."

　　"Didn't I say it's half a month's salary? It'll be yours sooner or later anyway. I didn't ask you to take it for nothing. I still need you to work."

　　"But... aren't you worried that I'll take the money and run away..." Lin Wenxi asked cautiously. This should be a problem that normal people would worry about, right?

　　"I believe in my judgment of people."

　　Chen Mo's smile was very nice, and for a moment Lin Wenxi felt a little dazed.

　　I was embarrassed to accept it, but in the end I couldn't resist the man's eloquence and took the money. I was full of gratitude in my heart. Not only did I find a job, but I also met such a good boss... I could only keep thanking him.

　　When Lin Wenxi went back, he passed by the market and bought a chicken on purpose. The chicken was not particularly big, not because he was reluctant to spend money, but because he and Grandma Wang couldn't finish it in one meal. If he kept it for a long time, he was afraid that it would go bad. It would be a waste to throw it away.

I remembered that the man never ate fresh food. Every meal had to be fresh, and he spent a lot of time on it. When there were only two people eating, even if he tried not to cook too much, it was still inevitable that there would be waste. He wanted to eat it himself, but the man watched him every day and fed him well, so there was no chance for him to find a solution for the leftovers. Later, Lin Wenxi thought of secretly collecting the leftovers every time and bringing them to the stray dogs and cats when he passed by an alley when buying vegetables.

In fact, he really ate a lot of delicacies that he had never eaten at Li Yan's place. A chicken was simply disdainful to the man. The man didn't particularly like ordinary things like this because he ate too much. But after eating so many strange things, Lin Wenxi still felt that this was the most delicious, because the man would not understand the feeling of only having pickled vegetables and white porridge once during festivals.

After buying some rice and other vegetables, although it was a bit far, Lin Wenxi decided to walk back. After all, the money had to be spent until the end of the month, and he had to plan well. And if the workplace is a little far away, he also has to get up early. Although Chen Mo told him that the usual working hours are 8:30 in the morning, it is not too early.

　　When Lin Wenxi came back, Grandma Wang was sitting on the doorstep waiting for him from a distance, and the setting sun was shining on the shabby roof of the small house.

　　"Xiaoxi is back?"

　　"Yes. Grandma."

　　"Have you found a job?"

　　"I found it. And it's a good job."

　　"That's good." The old man smiled happily.

　　"By the way, Grandma, I also bought this. We will stew chicken soup tonight." Lin Wenxi shook the chicken in his hand towards the old man.

　　"Why buy this! It costs a lot of money!" The old man blamed him a little. After all, everyone's situation is not good now. Eating is a problem. How dare you buy a chicken? And where did Lin Wenxi get the money?

"It's ok, grandma. I met a good person today." Lin Wenxi told Grandma Wang about Chen Mo's situation. The old lady smiled and said kindly, "That's good. You should do your job well there and not let down people's trust and kindness."

　　"Got it, grandma."

　　Lin Wenxi helped the old lady in. The chicken had been killed in the market. Now all she had to do was cut, clean and stew it. Originally, the old lady wanted to come in to do it, but Lin Wenxi said she would do it herself. After all, the old lady was old, so she just sat outside and waited. Although my heart has become numb, I can only temporarily forget about that person when I am busy.
