Deep green plum routine
Chapter 83
When it was almost twelve o'clock, Tang Weiyu invited a group of people to have dinner.Gu Mian glanced at the person in charge of the video game city who was packing up and getting ready to leave work, and said to the others: "Go and eat, I still have something to do."
Guo Tinghuan asked her, "What's the matter, Mr. Mian?"
Gu Mian didn't elaborate, "A little personal matter."
Chen Xueli asked, "Are you still out to play in the afternoon?"
"I won't come out in the afternoon, I have to take the report card home and have a look." Seeing Guo Tinghuan's face full of disappointment, Gu Mian comforted her with a smile.
When Gu Mian talked about this, the others couldn't force it anymore.The two sides waved their hands and said goodbye to each other.
Not long after Tang Weiyu and the others left, the person in charge of the video game city packed up his things and came out: "I just went to deal with some things, you have been waiting for a long time."
Gu Mian said repeatedly: "No, we have just finished."
The person in charge of the video game city led the way and said as he walked, "By the way, my name is Xu Yiwen. What do you call me?"
Gu Mian replied humbly: "Hello, Sister Xu, my name is Gu Mian, and her name is Mu Jin."
Xu Yiwen said: "Mu Jin... this surname is quite rare."
Gu Mian smiled and said, "It's relatively rare."
Several people walked and chatted, Xu Yiwen asked about Gu Mian's basic situation, and at the same time explained her own situation.
"My friend's name is Bai Xiaoshan, who is about my age. Don't call her Sister Bai, just Sister Shanshan. Her milk tea shop has just opened, and the business is good. She can't do it alone, so she wants to find a helper." "Xu Yiwen is impatient and speaks quickly, "Actually, she wants to find someone familiar, so it will be more worry-free. But I think you are a good match, so I will take you there to try."
Gu Mian bent over to Xu Yiwen: "Thank you sister Xu."
"Don't rush to say thank you, you have to do a good job to stay."
Gu Mian promised: "I will definitely do a good job!"
Xu Yiwen nodded and continued: "Her wages here are not too high, but they are not too low. We cook lunch by ourselves, and you can stay and eat together. It's not safe for you to go home too late as a girl. You can do it in the afternoon. Go back early. If you are on vacation, it is impossible to take a double break, but you can have three to five single breaks a month..."
Xu Yiwen said a lot in one go, but Gu Mian didn't have a chance to speak, so she just kept nodding.
After walking for about five or six minutes, Xu Yiwen stopped at the entrance of a simple shop: "It's right here."
Gu Mian looked up at the signboard, and saw the word "Time" written on it in a round font.
Gu Mian was surprised and said, "I heard from my friends about this store, and they said the milk tea here is delicious."
"Really?" Xu Yiwen was not surprised, "Xiaoshan always uses good ingredients to make milk tea, and it should taste good."
Gu Mian frowned at Mu Jin and made a grimace.
A person walked out of the back room of the milk tea shop. The person looked soft and had a gentle voice: "Wenwen, you are back."
"Well, I was delayed for a while because of something today, and I came back a little late." Xu Yiwen took off her bag and hung it on the shelf inside the reception desk.
Seeing the person coming, Gu Mian and Mu Jin politely shouted, "Hello, Sister Shanshan."
Bai Xiaoshan was taken aback by the two of them, and joked, "What's going on, have you accepted my younger brother?"
Xu Yiwen explained: "Didn't you say you want to hire a helper? No, I brought it for you."
Bai Xiaoshan sized up Gu Mian and Mu Jin, and said hesitantly, "They should be underage..."
Xu Yiwen said indifferently: "The child wants to earn some tuition and living expenses during the summer vacation, so you can accommodate me."
Gu Mian immediately stated: "Sister Shanshan, I will definitely work hard and not let you and sister Xu down, so just accept me."
Bai Xiaoshan smiled at her: "This job looks simple, but it's quite tiring to do. How about this, you do it for a few days first to see if you can adapt, and we'll talk about it if you adapt."
Bai Xiaoshan's words were equivalent to agreeing to keep the person. Gu Mian was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you sister Shanshan, I will adapt as soon as possible."
Bai Xiaoshan asked again: "When will you be able to go to work?"
"The day after tomorrow, I have something to do tomorrow." After Gu Mian finished speaking, afraid that Bai Xiaoshan would think she was procrastinating, she asked cautiously, "Is that okay?"
"Sure, I need time to recruit people anyway." Bai Xiaoshan took off her apron and greeted politely, "You guys haven't eaten yet, come over and have something together."
Gu Mian waved her hand and refused: "No, no, let's go back and eat. The home cooked food is waiting for us."
Bai Xiaoshan didn't prepare meals for the two of them in the first place, so she didn't persuade her anymore: "That's fine, come over at around nine o'clock the day after tomorrow."
Gu Mian wrote down the time, thanked Xu Yiwen and Bai Xiaoshan, and then took Mu Jin out.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of "Time", Gu Mian happily said to Mu Jin, "Xiao Jin, I have a job!"
Mu Jin was also happy for her: "Yes! Congratulations!"
Gu Mian took Mu Jin's hand and said flatteringly, "You like drinking milk tea, after I learn how to make milk tea, can I make it for you?"
Mu Jin readily agreed: "Okay, you will be in charge of my milk tea from now on."
Gu Mian was delighted to hear this, patted her chest and said, "No problem, just wrap it on me."
When the two arrived home, Zhang Suqin had already cooked and waited, and Gu Zeyang was also here, mainly to watch over Gu Mian's grades.
Seeing the two of them, Gu Zeyang couldn't wait to ask, "Did you get your grades? How did you do in the exam?"
Gu Mian said proudly: "Xiaojin did very well in the exam, she is No.3 in City C!"
Zhang Suqin was taken aback by this ranking: "Really? Our Xiaojin is so good?!"
"Xiao Jin has always been very good, so it's not surprising that he won this test." After Gu Zeyang praised Mu Jin, he asked Gu Mian, "Mian Mian, how about you?"
Gu Mian tried her best to pretend that she didn't care: "I can't do it anymore, I'm still a bit short of the score line in the county."
Gu Zeyang couldn't hide his disappointment, but he still comforted Gu Mian: "It's okay, you've tried your best. If you add English scores, you'll be in the county."
Gu Mian said, "Yes."
Gu Zeyang was afraid that if he continued talking, it would make Gu Mian sad, so he changed the subject: "Let's eat first, it's all over, you must be hungry."
Zhang Suqin echoed: "Yes, yes, eat first, and then talk about the rest after eating."
Zhang Suqin prepared a table of dishes, Gu Mian had no appetite, but in order not to worry others, she still pretended to have a good appetite and ate a big bowl of rice.
After dinner, Gu Mian and Mu Jin helped wash the dishes.Gu Zeyang might have something on his mind, so he smoked cigarette after cigarette outside.
Gu Mian stared blankly at the cigarette butts scattered in the trash can, and said, "You should smoke less."
"Okay, I won't smoke anymore." Gu Zeyang put down most of the cigarette in his hand, looked up at Gu Mian, "Mianmian, let's talk again."
Gu Mian roughly guessed what Gu Zeyang would say, and didn't refuse: "Go inside and talk, it's too hot outside."
The two sat down in the back room, and Zhang Suqin and Mu Jin went back to their rooms without coming out to disturb them.
Gu Zeyang asked: "Mianmian, are you really not following me to City A?"
Gu Mian shook her head without hesitation: "No."
"But you stay here..." Gu Zeyang frowned slightly, trying to think of the right words, "What if you go to school?"
Gu Mian didn't know what he wanted to express: "It's better to ride a bicycle."
Gu Zeyang said: "I mean your school..."
Gu Mian understood now: "I should be able to go to Huaizhong, my second choice filled Huaizhong, and the score is enough."
Gu Zeyang tapped his index finger on the table slowly: "As far as I know, Huaizhong's enrollment rate is not ideal, right?"
Gu Mian shrugged her shoulders: "I know, but who made me not live up to it. With my score, if I don't go to Huaizhong, I can only go to vocational high school."
Gu Zeyang tentatively said, "If you go to City A..."
Gu Mian interrupted him: "I won't go to City A."
"Okay," Gu Zeyang completely gave up the idea of persuading Gu Mian to go to city A, "Have you ever thought about repeating the study for a year? With your grades, repeating the study for a year is not a problem."
Gu Mian shook her head lightly: "Forget it, it's a waste of time to repeat."
Gu Zeyang said: "If you go to Huaizhong, it may be a waste of time."
"Perhaps, but I think that the waste of time depends on whether I live every day seriously, not on which school I go to." Gu Mian looked at Gu Zeyang with firm eyes, "Xiaojin can give up the market. Why do I have to stick to the county middle school when I study in the county middle school? As long as I work hard, it doesn't matter which school I go to?"
"That's what I said, but a good school should have stronger teachers and a stronger learning atmosphere. If you put in the same effort, you will definitely get better results in the county than in Huaizhong."
Gu Mian said: "That's the reason, but I have no choice now. I don't want to repeat my studies. I would rather put in more effort in Huaizhong than waste that year's time."
Gu Zeyang rubbed his nose with some headache: "Have you really decided?"
"Well," Gu Mian said, "This is my own choice, no matter what the result is, I will accept it."
Gu Zeyang had seen Gu Mian's stubbornness before, and knew that once she made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change it.He sighed and resigned to his fate: "Well, since you've said that, I won't persuade you anymore. But remember, no matter what the result is, you are not alone, you still have me."
Gu Mian said "Yes", "I know."
Gu Zeyang patted Gu Mian's head, and said softly, "Go ahead and gamble. If you win, I'll be proud of you. If you lose, I'll pay for you."
Gu Mian's nose was a little acidic, she wanted to say "thank you", but she took it back the moment she opened her mouth.
In the end, she just smiled at Gu Zeyang and said in her heart, "Thank you."
Guo Tinghuan asked her, "What's the matter, Mr. Mian?"
Gu Mian didn't elaborate, "A little personal matter."
Chen Xueli asked, "Are you still out to play in the afternoon?"
"I won't come out in the afternoon, I have to take the report card home and have a look." Seeing Guo Tinghuan's face full of disappointment, Gu Mian comforted her with a smile.

Not long after Tang Weiyu and the others left, the person in charge of the video game city packed up his things and came out: "I just went to deal with some things, you have been waiting for a long time."
Gu Mian said repeatedly: "No, we have just finished."
The person in charge of the video game city led the way and said as he walked, "By the way, my name is Xu Yiwen. What do you call me?"
Gu Mian replied humbly: "Hello, Sister Xu, my name is Gu Mian, and her name is Mu Jin."
