you are so bright

Chapter 3 3

On the first day of working in the coffee shop, the foreman asked Ruoning to learn how to cash register first. Afterwards, Ruoning was in charge of cash register and store hygiene from 5:10 pm to [-]:[-] pm every day.There is no technical content in the cash register, Ruoning learned it in half an hour, and Ruoning helped clear the table when no one ordered.

When it was almost 7 o'clock, someone pushed the door and entered the coffee shop.Ruoning hurriedly learned to say a word of welcome.

The one who came in was a tall woman in a suit with short hair down to the middle of her neck.The suit is dark blue with silver stripes, and a light-colored V-neck shirt is draped inside.Looking at her attire and the computer bag she was carrying, Ruoning thought she must be a white-collar worker working nearby.

"Hi, a cup of Americano with ice." The person who came in said to Ruoning.

"Do you need to add sugar and milk?" Ruoning asked.

"No, thank you." The person who came in kept looking at Ruoning with a smile.

"Okay, here's your receipt, with the store's Wi-Fi account number and password on it." Ruoning looked a little embarrassed by this person, and lowered her head and said.

Seeing that Ruoning lowered his head, the man gave a chuckle, walked to the side to pick up the food, got the coffee and left.

When it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, there were no customers in the store, and the head waiter gave Ruoning a few words and left.

Ruoning wiped down more than a dozen sets of tables and chairs in the store according to the foreman's instructions, and then began to sweep and mop the floor.Although I usually do this kind of work at home, but today I have to clean such a large place after standing for five hours straight, and even clean the public bathroom of the coffee shop... Hey... It's not easy to make money!

It was almost 12 o'clock when Ruoning got home. At this point, Ruoxuan was probably singing in a bar, and Xu Jingyang might still be playing games.Ruoning was so exhausted now that she didn't want to talk to anyone, so she quietly went back to the room to rest on her feet.

While lying on the bed, Ruoning thought of the man who came to buy American style today.Both her shirt and suit look good. Will she look like that when she wears a suit at work in the future?But he has such a good figure, he can't compare with him.Fantasizing about what she would look like in the workplace in the future, Ruoning soon fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~

Many days have passed since the last discussion about recording a song, Xu Jingyang and Su Feng didn't take the initiative to mention money, Ruoxuan had to rely on himself.She tried to find some people to borrow money, but the effect was not satisfactory.Ruoxuan didn't want to give up, and still flipped through the phone's address book over and over again.Suddenly Su Feng called.

"Ruoxuan, something happened to my grandma."

"Ah? What's the situation?"

"She slipped and broke her leg when she was shopping alone on the street, and she is now undergoing surgery in the hospital."

"Is it serious? Which hospital, I'll call Xu Jingyang to see you together!"

"I don't know the situation yet, and the doctor hasn't come out yet. Well..., Ruoxuan, you don't need it. Can you give me some money in my card now? I don't have enough money for surgery. I know the band needs money recently, but I My grandma raised me since I was a child, and I have no relatives other than her, so I can't..."

"Old Su, you don't need to say this, I know. Just tell me how much you need?"

"Ruoxuan, thank you! You have been the only buddy for so many years. The nurse just asked me to pay 1 yuan first, and then when I leave the hospital, I will refund more and pay less."

When he heard 1 yuan, Ruoxuan's heart skipped a beat. The money he has saved now is only five or six thousand, "I have about five or six thousand here, do you have enough for the rest?"

"I have a little bit, so you can lend me five thousand first? I'll figure out the rest."

"Okay, I'll turn it around for you now."

After hanging up the phone and transferring the money, the remaining balance in the card was less than 3, Ruoxuan felt out of breath.Lying on the bed, throwing the phone aside, buried his head in the pillow, trying not to think about recording songs for the time being.But I can't stop my mind at all. Is it true that this time I really want to use the last [-] yuan savings left by my parents, but An An still has two years of tuition to pay, and he and An An still have to live, what should I do? ?

Ruoxuan thought back and forth a lot in his mind, if he finished his book two years ago and got a college diploma, would he be able to find a more formal job?But at that time, if he didn't leave school to make money, he would have to pay tuition fees, and An An would also have to pay tuition fees. Wouldn't the pressure be even greater?What's more, if you can't read it yourself, it's better to let An An read it.And besides singing, I am not interested in anything else.

Hey, let's see if I can find someone to borrow some.Ruoxuan touched the phone and turned it on, but saw a WeChat message.

"Xiaoxuan, I heard that you are borrowing money to record a song recently?" Ruoxuan tried hard to remember who sent the message, and didn't remember until he saw a photo with himself in Lost in this person's circle of friends It was a guest who came to the bar to play before, called Sister Wei.

"Sister Wei, yes, I recently formed a band with some friends and want to record some songs." On the one hand, Ruoxuan wondered how Sister Wei knew about her affairs, and on the other hand, she also wondered why she contacted him, but Ruoxuan didn't want to be with her. If she wanted to say something more, she just wanted to be polite and prevaricate it.

"How much do you want? I have the money, it's not a problem."

"Eh... Sister Wei, how could I have the nerve to ask you to borrow money? Thank you for your kindness, I really don't need to bother you about this matter." Ruoxuan couldn't bear to borrow money from a person who hadn't spoken much at all.

"Don't talk about it with me. How about 2 a month? You come to accompany me today, and the money will be given to you today."

"Ah? Sister Wei, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean, you have worked in that kind of place for so long, there is no need to pretend to be innocent. I liked you very much when I went to Lost last time, and I have been thinking about you all the time. It just so happened that my husband was going on a business trip abroad for a month recently. Come and accompany me."

"You mean to take care of me?"

"Otherwise? Xiaoxuan, stop dawdling, don't you think it's too little? The price I'll give you is not low, and you know that you are just a singer in a small broken bar. But if you let me Satisfied, I can give you some points!"

"Sister Wei, I don't need to be taken care of. I will find a way for the money myself." Ruoxuan felt uncomfortable when he saw these words sent by the other party.

After the wechat was sent, there was a series of voice messages over there, all of which were curse words. Ruoxuan didn't want to hear it and didn't want to have anything to do with this person, so he quickly deleted this person, turned off his phone, and then stared at the table A painting of a daze.This painting is Ruoning's 10th birthday gift to Ruoxuan. It shows a little girl singing on the stage with a microphone.Ruoning knew that Ruoxuan wanted to be a singer since she was a child, so she drew this picture for Ruoxuan herself.

~~~~~~~~~~

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Ruoxuan packed his things and went to the bar sullenly.There weren't many people in the bar today, and no one ordered songs, so Ruoxuan just hung around for a few hours and then got off work.

When Ruoxuan just left the back door of the bar to pick up his motorcycle, he heard a man calling his name.As soon as Ruoxuan followed the voice and turned around, he was wrapped in a sack and then kicked to the ground.Then several heavy blows landed on the arms and ribs, Ruoxuan could only hold his head tightly.Ruoxuan knew that there was no one on the street at this time, no one would come to save her, she only hoped that she would not just die here today.

After kicking and beating, Ruoxuan vaguely felt that these people had left, so he reluctantly took off the sack bit by bit, and wanted to stand up and cycle home, but he didn't even have the strength to move.

Ruoxuan took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call, but his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't see the screen clearly. Ruoxuan found Xu Jingyang's number after careful identification for a long time.

~~~~~~~~~~

Early the next morning, Ruoning was ready to go to class. "Brother, I'm going to class!" Ruoning yelled into Ruoxuan's bedroom as usual when passing by.But this time Ruoxuan didn't make a sound, probably because she was too deep in sleep, so Ruoning left without thinking much.

However, Ruoning sent many WeChat messages to Ruoxuan throughout the day, and Ruoxuan only responded to one or two. Isn't this not like her usual habit?Ruoning vaguely felt that something was wrong.

After cleaning up the entire coffee shop after 10 o'clock, Ruoning hurried to take the last subway home.After arriving at the door of the house, Ruoning found that she did not bring the key, so she could only knock on the door.But unexpectedly, it was Ruoxuan who opened the door, shouldn't she be in Lost?What surprised Ruoning even more was that there were many bruises on Ruoxuan's face.Ruoning hurried in and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Ruoxuan blocked Ruoning's hand that was stretched out towards her, not wanting Ruoning to ask more questions, and even more afraid that she would be worried, so she turned around and prepared to go back to her room.

Seeing that Ruoxuan was moving slowly, Ruoning stepped forward to support Ruoxuan.Ruoxuan pushed Ruoning's hand away again, and moved to the room by herself.

Ruoning was at a loss, and Ruoxuan's reaction made her even more worried, so she hurriedly followed Ruoxuan into the bedroom.Ruoxuan saw that Ruoning followed in, and didn't stop her, moved to the bed, lay down and closed her eyes.Looking at Ruoxuan's appearance, Ruoning felt uncomfortable, and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Don't say it if you don't want to, and tell me when you want to." Ruoning swallowed all the questions, and if Ruoxuan didn't want to say it, no one could do anything about it.Ruoning silently covered Ruoxuan with the quilt, poured warm water on the bedside table, sighed and went out.

Ruoning went back to the house and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about what happened to Ruoxuan and what happened to herself.I haven't had a good time recently. Every day in the cafe, I meet a few customers who don't treat the waiters as human beings, and I have to clean the entire cafe by myself every night. It's really exhausting physically and mentally.

Ruoning misses her parents very much at this moment. She misses the time when her parents were still there. Although only her father was working, the family lived well on the salary of her father alone; You can see your mother coming to pick you up at the school gate.Thinking of these, Ruoning only felt extremely wronged, and tears fell down without disappointment.

Crying and crying, Ruoning actually thought of the person who came to buy coffee in the store on the first day of work, her life should be completely different from mine, if only I could become like her in the future, in that case My brother and I definitely don't have to suffer from these troubles anymore.

Ruoning inexplicably hopes to see that person come to the store to buy coffee again, and wants to see her smile again, but so far she has never come again...

The author has something to say:

The older you get, the more difficult it is to persist in doing one thing. You may want to give up a hundred times a day, but you will be persuaded to continue tomorrow by a little bit of faith one hundred and one times.

I am still very afraid that I will not be able to persevere and finish this novel, so I got up this morning to outline all the remaining unfinished parts.If you can't bear it one day, at least spend a few days and nights to finish writing the last chapter.

A little blessing, I hope that everyone who is insisting on something can have the perseverance to resist the voice of incomprehension~

The happiest thing in life is to live in the way you choose, keep going!
