Comprehensive film: the sweet daily life of urban drama
Chapter 15: Earn a lot of money and add 2 boxes of lunch
Chen An calculated that the time was almost up, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Nannan, give me thirty yuan."
"Will thirty be enough?"
"That's enough, don't worry." Chen An took the money and walked towards the aisle of the carriage. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw the conductor coming back with the dining car. She was still trying hard to ask and sell, but it was obvious that she was not very successful.
Seeing someone pushing a cart towards the middle, Chen An took the initiative to step forward and lend a hand.
"Thank you, young man."
"You're welcome, sister. Your job is hard enough. Providing hot meals to passers-by is also a good deed."
"You really know how to talk, but it's not as good as you say, it's just a way of getting by."
Although Chen An said that fortune-telling was a scam, he still said nice things. With his ability to read people's expressions, he could tell that this woman's love life might not be going well. After all, she was about 40 years old, and although her dress was not sloppy, it was not very neat either.
She has gained weight, her complexion is a little dull, and the collar of her clothes is a little dirty. So based on experience, I can judge that this woman's marriage life should not be very harmonious. After all, a train conductor has to work away from home for a long time, and she is a bit lazy and cannot take care of her family. It would be strange if there are no conflicts between husband and wife. And there is something wrong with her face at a glance.
"Big sister, you have a full forehead... You are a blessed person at first glance. It's just a pity that your good fortune hasn't arrived yet, but it should be not far away."
The eldest sister was stunned at first, then looked at Chen An in surprise: "You can also read faces and tell fortunes?"
"I learned from my master for some years."
The eldest sister immediately became interested. After all, in the past two years, after she changed jobs, her relationship with her husband has not been very good. Basically, they would quarrel after just a few words when they got home. She was also very troubled...
"Then tell me, how come I can do this, and what does good fortune not far away mean?"
The woman's reaction confirmed Chen An's guess, and he looked at her carefully again and began to deceive her.
Chen An was lucky today. He was able to fool people very smoothly. The eldest sister nodded frequently. She felt more and more that she had made a mistake in the beginning. She would be able to meet someone more suitable for her in the future. The new chef was quite good. He had just been divorced, a few years younger than her, and had no children. The job was suitable for her, and they could spend more time together. Just as Chen An said, it seemed that her good luck was with him.
"Thank you, young man. You are so right. By the way, where did you learn this skill?"
"Mount Wutai, I have only learned the basics, which is not worth mentioning."
"Don't say that. This is already amazing. I have to thank you for your advice." The elder sister asked a little embarrassedly: "By the way, do you charge for this business? How do you think this is a token of your appreciation?"
Chen An wanted to say he would give her a hundred or eighty yuan, but he stopped himself. After all, if he asked for money, people would think he was a liar. So he smiled and said, "We have rules in this business, but since you are a good person, I just happened to meet you at the right time, so just give me one yuan as a token of my appreciation."
When the elder sister heard that it only cost one dollar, she believed Chen An's words even more, so she quickly took out ten dollars from her pocket and put it in Chen An's hand.
"Sister, one dollar is enough. This is too much."
"There are too many scammers these days. There aren't many people as capable and kind as you. This little money is just a small token of my appreciation. I have to buy you two bottles of water, otherwise I'll feel bad."
"Sister, you look respectable and open-minded. I see you've had a hard time making this trip. It's very heavy, and it would be a waste to take it back. I might as well buy a few. We can help each other."
"Brother, what are you talking about? This isn't worth much. If we take it back, we won't be able to finish it and will have to throw it away, which is a waste. So you can take two boxes back to eat. What's the point of talking about money? If you mention money again, Big Sister will be unhappy."
Chen An said a few more polite words and complimented the elder sister, making her very happy. Then Chen An got two boxes of hot lunches without spending a penny and made ten dollars. This business was good and profitable.
Just as he was about to go back, he thought for a moment and hid the thirty yuan in his pocket, then took the ten yuan and two boxes of food and went back.
"Xiao An, why did you take so long? The conductor had already been there for two minutes." Chen Nanxing asked in surprise when he saw the lunch box in Chen An's hand.
"We were just chatting for a while in the middle of the carriage, asking about some things. Okay, let's stop talking and eat."
"Hey, how come there are still ten dollars left?" Chen Nanxing asked curiously.
Chen An smiled mysteriously and whispered something in her ear.
"Okay, you little profiteer, no wonder you didn't let me buy it just now, so this is what you were thinking." Chen Nanxing reached out and put ten yuan into Chen An's pocket: "This is what you saved with your own ability, it's your pocket money."
Chen An was in a good mood. In his previous life, he was surprised that the people under his company liked to take kickbacks so much. Now he realized that it was really good. He made 40 yuan by buying a meal. He was so happy that he had to serve his rich wife. "Come on, Nannan, eat quickly. It was too hot when it came out of the pot. Now it's just right."
Chen Nanxing had a smile on her face. If she had seen this situation in the past, she might have thought that this man was so stingy, but she really didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen An doing this. Firstly, Chen An himself had been an orphan since childhood, so there was no way he could be so frugal. Besides, no matter how much he calculated, he was always very generous to her. That kind of precious medicine could not be easily measured by money.
It's so rare to find a man who is so good at living. I'm so lucky to have found a treasure.
After taking a bite, Chen Nanxing nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "This cooking skill is really good. The spicy and sour potato shreds are very good. Moreover, this lunch box is much more affordable than the ones I've eaten before. I can't finish so much. I'll give you more. Just a little is enough for me."
Chen An picked up a piece of eggplant and brought it to Nan Nan's mouth. "Try this, it's quite delicious. In fact, I'm telling you, my cooking skills are pretty good too. When we get there and rent a house, I'll have to give you some good nourishment. You look so thin now."
Indeed, because of her illness, Chen Nanxing lost more than ten pounds, so she is now looking forward to their happy life together. When she thinks about her previous expectations coming true soon, she can't help but smile.
After dinner and cleaning up, Aunt Yu took the initiative to give up the lower bunk to the young couple and went to sleep in the middle bunk. Chen An told Nan Nan a story. She had said she didn't want to sleep, but after a while she fell asleep leaning on Chen An's arms.
