The wonderful world of fast time travel

Soon, Zheng Ling found out that a restaurant was recruiting people, so he hurried in to inquire.

The owner of this restaurant is surnamed Chen. He is very big and strong. After looking down at Zheng Ling for a while, he said, "You are still a student and want to go to school. What can you do with me?"

Zheng Ling held her schoolbag tightly, raised her head and said, "I can come to help after school every day, and boss, your restaurant seems to be busier at night. I can help wash the dishes and mop the floor."

Boss Chen also knew in his heart that which of the children nowadays is not treated like a family heirloom, and those who come out to work at such a young age are mostly because of poor family conditions, so he asked again: "Are you sixteen years old?" ?"

Zheng Ling knew there was something going on, so he hurriedly said, "My birthday is in February, so I'm already sixteen years old this year."

Boss Chen hesitated for a while, and then said: "As you have seen, my store is only so big, and you are still a part-time job. The salary of working here is not high, so you have to think about it."

Zheng Ling nodded heavily, and said with a smile, "I'm already satisfied if the boss is willing to take me in."

Boss Chen said again: "It's fine to come to my place to work, but you have to ask your parents to write an agreement."

Zheng Ling looked up at him and asked, "Is the head teacher okay?"

Boss Chen stared into his eyes for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."

Zheng Ling raised his eyebrows with joy, and quickly asked, "Then when can I come to work?"

Boss Chen laughed and said, "You can come to work after getting permission from your head teacher."

After that, the two discussed in detail about issues such as salary and benefits.

Finally, when he was about to leave the house, Boss Chen couldn't help but raised his hand, rubbed Zheng Ling's hair fiercely, and said, "You are really smart."

Through these 10 minutes of contact, Zheng Ling also got a little understanding of this Boss Chen's personality, so he shrank his neck and said with a smile: "I'm sure you are praising yourself, Boss."

Boss Chen couldn't help smiling, and said, "It's not far from your school, and you can also come here for lunch in the future."

Now Zheng Ling was really flattered, and hurriedly straightened his posture, thanking him: "Boss, you are so kind, you not only provided me with dinner, but even lunch as well." Then he gave a thumbs up and praised: "You But the boss I met is the most generous, no wonder the business can be so good."

Boss Chen patted his head and said with a smile, "How old are you? How many bosses have you met?"

Zheng Ling chuckled.

In fact, Jin Fenghuang felt that the main reason why Boss Chen treated Zheng Ling so well was because of the extremely low salary.

When going to school the next day, Zheng Ling took advantage of the lunch break to go to the head teacher to explain the situation.

At first, the head teacher refused to agree no matter what, and repeatedly advised: "Students should put their studies first."

Zheng Ling said: "If I don't work, I will have no money, and if I don't have money, I can't continue my education."

The head teacher didn't let go, saying that he would contact his parents so that he could study with peace of mind.

Zheng Ling had no choice but to roughly tell the head teacher about his experiences from childhood to adulthood.

After hearing this, the homeroom teacher was very distressed, and immediately said: "I will help you to go to school, don't worry, I will not leave you alone."

Zheng Ling was very touched.He knew what his class teacher would face after he said this, and he didn't want to be a burden to anyone.In the end, Zheng Ling thanked him again and again, but still stubbornly expressed his willingness to be self-reliant.

The head teacher tried to persuade me for a long time.

In the end, Zheng Ling changed his approach again, saying that he just didn’t want to go home and face an empty room every day. He wanted to have something to do, and he repeatedly emphasized that he would not abandon his studies. He just wanted to keep himself busy, so that he would not Daydreaming.

The head teacher finally sighed, and said: "I will accompany you to that restaurant after school in the afternoon, and I will talk to the boss in person." Just after finishing speaking, I remembered another thing, "You don't have to go to the evening self-study in the future, I I will explain it to the school for you."

Zheng Ling repeatedly said thank you.The head teacher's help saved him a lot of trouble.

Immediately afterwards, the head teacher said: "But you have to remember, if I find that your grades have not improved, you have to end your part-time job and give me a steady study, you understand?"

Zheng Ling readily agreed.He found that since he traveled, he met many good people.

Due to the presence of the head teacher in person, Zheng Ling soon started working in that restaurant.

Presumably, the head teacher had gotten along well with all the teachers in their class. Zheng Ling was in school during the day, and he could obviously feel the teachers' attention to him, always asking him to stand up and answer questions from time to time.

After school in the evening, saying goodbye to the increasingly clingy Geng Chenxin, Zheng Ling went to the restaurant to work as usual with her schoolbag on her back.

At present, Zheng Ling's main job is to wash dishes, and there are two middle-aged aunts who wash dishes like Zheng Ling.When people get together, it is inevitable that they will gossip about trivial matters, just like at this moment, their mouths are just like their hands, without stopping.

These days, the one they chatted the most was the old man who often came to this restaurant to beg for food.

Zheng Ling also met two or three times.

The old man was not as scruffy as other beggars.The wrinkled face is always washed very clean, the hair is also combed neatly, there is a short beard on the chin, and there is an old watch on the left wrist.If it weren't for the old mended clothes and the bowls and chopsticks that he carried with him, he wouldn't be able to tell he was a beggar on the street just from his appearance.

What impressed Zheng Ling deeply was the old man's eyes.Under the turbid package, what he saw was the precipitation of years, eyes like moonlight, gentle and peaceful to everyone he saw.

Back to the present, the two aunts beside Zheng Ling were talking about other things again.

"Let me tell you something new. Someone lost money in the back alley a few days ago. I heard that they lost thousands of dollars."

"So many? I don't know who has the good luck to pick it up."

"you do not say."

"Then what happened later, did the man get his money back after losing it?"

"How can I get it back? Xiaojun said that there is no surveillance nearby, so I can only admit it."

"Who lost the money, do you know?"

"I don't know, Jun didn't say, and I didn't ask."

"Why did that man carry so much money with him for no reason?"

"I heard that the money was for her children to go to college. I just got it together and lost it. I heard from people who saw it, that person seemed to have lost his soul, and he came to that back alley all day long." I searched back and forth, and when I couldn’t find it, I knocked on doors from door to door, asking if anyone had found it, and giving some clues.”

"Hey, it's too pitiful. Is she the only one looking there?"

"I guess her family is definitely going to borrow money again, so she doesn't give up and is still looking for it. It's been several days, how can she find it?"

"Yes, she doesn't even think about it, whoever finds the money can return it to her."

"I heard that someone donated hundreds of dollars to her."

"Who is so generous?"

"I don't know, I really have money and no place to spend it. If you are so lazy, maybe that person picked it up."

"It's possible."

"If we didn't get off work late, I would really like to join in the fun."

"Who doesn't want to."

Hearing this, Zheng Ling was not in the mood to continue listening, but asked Jin Fenghuang to start teaching in his heart.

At nine o'clock in the evening, it was time for Zheng Ling to get off work.

Normally, Zheng Ling would have rushed to the public station in order to catch the last train.But tonight, Zheng Ling ran to the back alley.

With seven turns and eight turns, the back alley is here.There is only one street lamp at the entrance of this alley, the light is dim, and looking inside, it is dark.On the mottled wall near the street lamp, the word "demolition" was written in big red.

Zheng Ling stood there for a long time, except for the sound of the wind, there was no other movement.

That night, Zheng Ling walked back home, and it was already 11:30 in the evening when he got home.After a cursory wash, Zheng Ling lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At noon the next day, after lunch, Zheng Ling came to the back alley again.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of people around, the back alley at this time is still very quiet, no different from last night.Just as Zheng Ling was about to turn around and leave, he heard a soft call.

Zheng Ling searched for the sound and found the old man begging.And standing in front of him was a short, middle-aged woman.

Zheng Ling saw that the old man took out a cloth bag from his fat trouser pocket, and took out a thick wad of money from the cloth bag, saying something to the middle-aged woman.

Fortunately, Jin Fenghuang at the side told him: "The old man said that he picked up the money near here a few days ago, and he didn't spend a penny. Let that person count."

Zheng Ling could see clearly that the middle-aged woman took the money with tears streaming down her face and trembling hands after a long time, and she didn't need to guess what she said must mean thank you.

The middle-aged woman didn't count the money, but carefully put the stack of money into her bosom, thanked the old man again, then turned around and left quickly.

The old man stood there all the time, watching her go away.

Zheng Ling took his hand out of his pocket, turned around and went back to school.

Jin Fenghuang at the side faltered and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say a word.
