One big and one small are practicing love

In the heavy rain, Liu Xiaochen was clammy and cold, pushing his suitcase full of rainwater, walking step by step on the road with no end in sight.

He thought coldly, even if it was so hard to find a waiter who he thought was competent, it turned out that he was still looking down upon himself.

The door of the fourth house was closed, and a plastic sign hung on the door frame that read 'Private Residence, Do Not Disturb'. The fifth house was a studio... When I walked to the sixth farm, I saw no gate, only a high-hanging, wide door beam at the entrance. Liu Xiaochen stood inside to take shelter from the rain.

Looking up at the door, there is an old black wooden plaque hanging on the beam, with the word "Jiang Shang" written in red paint. Then he turned around and looked in. There was a large lotus pond three to five meters away, with large green lotus leaves in dense clusters and blooming lotus flowers swaying brightly in the rain. So beautiful!

I wonder if this farm is a private residence or some other kind of business? There was no one around, so I couldn't ask for fear of offending others if I went in without permission. I am also worried that after entering, I will be in vain and disappointed again. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard someone talking to her behind her.

"Little girl, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Liu Xiaochen turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw a red sports car parked on the roadside. The driver's window rolled down, and a middle-aged man with a round face and small eyes spoke to her with a southern accent.

"No, thank you, this is where I want to go." Liu Xiaochen said with a smile and pointed to the lotus pond.

The man smiled and said, "It's not easy to take a taxi here. I see you've been standing here for a while."

When Liu Xiaochen saw that the man wouldn't leave, he opened his umbrella and pushed the suitcase inside.

As I got closer, I saw a long wooden corridor built on the lotus pond, which was hidden from view because of the lush lotus leaves. Walking up, there was a soft crunch of footsteps, the wheels of the suitcase spun, and the patter of rain hitting the lotus leaves. Intertwined together, there is a different kind of tranquility.

The wooden corridor was winding and twisting, and Liu Xiaochen walked slowly and leisurely for three or four minutes. When we passed the last bend, the scene in front of us suddenly changed.

I saw a three-story building with white walls and black tiles standing among the green bamboos. The transparent glass windows glowed with warm yellow light. It looked clean, warm and promising.

"Is there anyone there?" Liu Xiaochen shouted loudly.

No one responded, so Liu Xiaochen continued walking inward along the cobblestone path. As he walked, he murmured in his mind whether it would be rude to go further inward.

Turning another corner, I saw a small wooden house with lights on and a scent wafting from it. Liu Xiaochen felt happy, walked quickly to the cabin, knocked twice on the wooden door, and said, "Excuse me, is there anyone there?"

"Who?" An old lady's soft voice came from inside the house.

Hearing the response, Liu Xiaochen was both panicked and happy. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he stammered and replied: "I'm... here to find a job."

As soon as the door opened, an old woman appeared. She was wearing navy blue cotton trousers and beige Chinese button-down short sleeves. She had a kind and gentle face and asked with a smile: "What job are you looking for? Who invited you here?"

At this question, Liu Xiaochen once again realized his offense and leaned forward and said, "Sorry, no one asked me. I was just passing by. I wonder if you are recruiting people here. I want to find a job as a waiter."

"Oh!" The woman nodded, then looked into the room and said, "You come in first, I'm boiling soup in the pot." After that, she turned around and went back to the room.

As soon as Liu Xiaochen lifted his feet, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the old woman limping while walking. He quickly calmed down his surprise and followed him.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the strong fragrance, and his clammy body was surrounded by a strong warmth. The old woman leaned over the fire, held a wooden spoon, opened the lid of the steaming casserole, stirred a few times, scooped out a little more soup, put it into her mouth, smacked her lips, raised her eyebrows, nodded and said to herself He said: "Yeah, not bad."

After doing this, the old woman put down the spoon, turned around and walked into the cabin, saying: "Little girl, come with me and sit inside."

There are two rooms in the wooden house. The outer room is the kitchen. In the inner room are a long black walnut wooden table, a few black walnut horn chairs, and a few white spotlights. There is a steaming black clay pot on the table, four thin Transparent white porcelain cup.

"You sit down first and have a cup of hot tea." After saying that, he took a thin white porcelain cup, poured a cup of red tea soup into it, placed it in front of Liu Xiaochen, and said, "I don't care about recruitment. I'll go call Dudu." Come here, mother." After that, she limped away.

Liu Xiaochen was indeed thirsty and cold, and wanted to drink hot tea.

After sitting down, I put my cold fingers on the warm cup wall, feeling the heat and smelling the faint sweet aroma. After one sip, you can clearly feel the warm water flowing through your mouth, esophagus, and stomach, which is very comfortable.

After a cup of tea, I heard the sound of the door opening and the footsteps of two people outside the house. Liu Xiaochen quickly put down his tea cup, stood up and looked towards the door.

A woman wearing a plain white cotton and linen dress came in lightly, with long black hair hanging down, and a face as gentle as the moon. When she saw Liu Xiaochen, she said with a gentle smile: "Hello, little girl."

Liu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, bowed with a smile, and said respectfully: "Hello, my name is Liu Xiaochen. I'm looking for a job. Do you need anyone here?"

"I heard from Aunt Fen that you want to find a job as a waiter. Sorry, we don't have any shortage here at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaochen felt his body and mind go cold, and he was at a loss. Instinctively, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, then raised his head, and said with a forced smile: "Sorry to bother you. It's getting late, I should go." After that, he walked around the chair and raised his feet to leave.

The woman took a step closer to Liu Xiaochen and said with a smile, "But we have other work, are you willing to do it?"

The mournful Liu Xiaochen quickly raised her head and asked: "As long as I can do it, I will do it." At the moment, she has been hit with no confidence, and she is willing to do whatever work she can.

"My assistant Xiaoyue just left yesterday because her due date was brought forward. I am short of an assistant now. Are you willing to be my assistant?" Du Niang said in a humble tone.

Liu Xiaochen's joy turned to suspicion and he said: "Assistant? What exactly does it do? Can I do it?"

"Yes!" Du Niang nodded affirmatively, smiled, and said, "I will tell you slowly later. You go to the next room to change clothes first. Aunt Fen has prepared the meal. Let's eat together."
