who called him an onion essence

The Braised Vegetables Shop has finally reopened, basically as usual, except for a new conspicuous recruitment notice posted outside the door.

In the past, Yang Sheng took care of everything in the store by himself because he was young and strong, and he didn't worry about others.Now that raising a child costs a lot, but the time in the store may be shortened, Yang Sheng finally decided to hire a clerk to help.If we can't save money for the time being, we can simply open up the source. With the reputation of the stewed vegetable shop and the love of regular customers, there will always be a profit.

It's just that he doesn't know when he will be able to find a shop assistant he likes. During this time, Yang Sheng still has to do it himself.

Yang Cong was too young, so he was kept at home to study hard, and he was not allowed to sneak downstairs.The cat didn't match his horoscope, and escaped early, but the house was much cleaner.It's not that Yang Cong has never been awkward, but seeing Yang Sheng working hard, he also felt distressed, obediently complied with the other party's request, and sat on the sofa to read a book while he was free.At noon, Yang Sheng would close the store for a while, come up to have dinner with him, and then he would not come back until very late.Yang Cong watched Yang Sheng leave with pity, and sighed while hugging his calligraphy.

The book was specially bought by Yang Sheng, in order to supplement Yang Cong's lack of common sense and lay a solid foundation for his future schooling.Of course, Yang Sheng didn't talk about this, and he didn't plan to let Yang Cong know.The book is matched with the electronic product with audio to teach children to recognize and count. Yang Cong played with it with an attitude of experimentation and found that it was not bad. He was a little fascinated and clicked to draw.

When he was in his hometown, Yang Sheng had already taught Yang Cong a lot, but it was not enough. His biggest regret was that he didn't have a clever mind to study and get a higher education.For Yang Sheng, a smart child like Yang Cong will naturally want to go to a prestigious university in the future, find a stable job, and have a smooth life.He put his obsession on Yang Cong, and Yang Cong accepted it obediently.

Today is Friday, and the streets in the evening are very noisy. The afterglow of the setting sun smears the figures of people coming and going, which is a bit dazzling.Yang Sheng blinked, picked up a towel to wipe off the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes, and said in a rigid voice: "Yes, take care of the children, close the store early."

The guests who hadn't seen him for a long time expressed their regrets: "I really can't open it later?"

Yang Sheng quickly tidied up everything on the counter, and shook his head: "The child is too young, I don't worry."

"Is it your son, the boss?" A guest asked curiously.

Several female guests pricked up their ears at the same time, chirping: "Yes, yes, is it your son? Why didn't I hear that the boss is married!"

After hearing this, Yang Sheng paused, and said, "No, it's my nephew, coming from his hometown."

The female guests let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled again: "Nephew... How old are you, has he gone to school?"

Yang Sheng was in a good mood, so he didn't invite them away. He wiped his hands and replied, "I'm almost seven years old, and I'm going to school in the city." Yang Sheng reported the other party's age a little too much, and the date of birth recorded in the household registration is seven years old.

"Seven years old, that's a big deal!" The female guests chattered in unison, "Boss, you really dote on your child, and you can't bear it."

"Yeah." Yang Sheng didn't hide his thoughts, but his voice was a little warmer, not as cold as before.

After chatting for a while, the people in the store finally dispersed. Yang Sheng packed up the few dishes and threw them into the dishwasher in the back kitchen, then closed the store door and locked it.Although the store closed earlier today, we still need to clean up what needs to be cleaned, and prepare the materials for tomorrow by the way.It is still very hot these days, and the air conditioner in the store has been turned off. Yang Sheng is reluctant to bear the electricity bills. If he is here, he will work with sweat all over his body.

So when he entered the door, Yang Sheng gently pushed away the one that was about to pounce on him: "It's all sweaty, I'm going to change my clothes."

"Oh, uncle, let's go." Yang Cong raised his head, his eyes glowed with excitement.

Yang Sheng naturally understood why. He hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he was thinking about it. At one moment, he felt that the child would be bored at home, and at the other, he was afraid that he would focus on playing instead of studying.As for Yang Cong, he was in a simpler mood. Seeing that Yang Sheng had returned, the heart-scratching worry disappeared in an instant.

Dinner was still the usual style, Yang Sheng ate a lot, he was considered a carnivore; Yang Cong followed his taste, but was a bit picky, and learned to use chopsticks rigidly.As a person, Yang Cong has a lot to learn, but the most difficult thing at present is the two sticks in his hand - no matter how he handles them, he feels wrong.

Yang Sheng looked at it for a while, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to correct his movements: "Put your index finger here."

"Oh..." Yang Cong muttered, and obediently changed his gestures, this time it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Yang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had pampered his little one too much in his hometown. Although he didn't feed it with his own hands, Yang Cong always refused to use chopsticks, and he didn't get serious to teach him a lesson.After all this, Yang Cong only knows how to use a spoon, making the wind and water flourish, and he will cry when he touches the chopsticks.

Yang Cong suddenly yelled: "Ah—it fell." It turned out that the sliced ​​meat accidentally fell from the chopsticks, rolled aside, and the juice dripped down.Realizing that he made a mistake, Yang Cong turned to look at Yang Sheng anxiously: "Uncle, it's dirty."

"Wipe it up later." Yang Sheng ignored the greasy piece of tabletop, his eyes still fell on the child's hand, "Use your wrist hard, don't break it with your whole hand."

Yang Cong nodded and smiled awkwardly.Not only does he have to learn a lot in his daily life, but most importantly, he learns to integrate into human society and see himself as a real human being.

Otherwise, Yang Sheng would not spend so much energy teaching him, let alone buy various early education tools without changing his frugal character.Yang Sheng even planned to move back a computer, after all, these days, every child in every household seems to need to learn to surf the Internet.Yang Sheng himself didn't understand much, but he made up his mind to learn first, so that he wouldn't be left speechless by Yang Cong's questions.

Yang Sheng himself has also changed a lot, his original habit of drinking was almost completely forgotten.The wine in his hometown was very strong, and the village chief once asked him to accompany him to drink two glasses, but that time Yang Cong watched from the sidelines, took advantage of people's unpreparedness, and secretly dipped it with a spoon, and almost died of drunkenness at the dining table.Because of this, he was afraid that the child would become curious and develop bad habits in the future, so he didn't dare to drink in front of the other party.

Therefore, there was no wine for this meal. Yang Sheng cleaned up the dishes and washed his face with cold water, feeling better than before.

Yang Cong had already sat down on the sofa in the living room, cross-legged like an old man, with study tools between his legs, concentrating on reading something.Occasionally he felt difficult, his brows immediately wrinkled, and his mouth curled up cutely.

Yang Sheng, who was free, leaned closer to listen, and found that it was an extremely simple English vocabulary, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Understood?"

"Uncle!" Yang Cong touched Yang Sheng's arm, then pointed at himself, "me!"

Yang Sheng was amused by him, and reached out to rub the top of the opponent's hair: "Well, better than uncle."

Yang Cong, who was praised, was even happier. He changed his posture and leaned half in Yang Sheng's arms, turning over page by page, and reading to the other party slowly.To Yang Sheng's surprise, he made almost no mistakes, his pronunciation was basically the same as the original pronunciation, and his learning speed was frighteningly fast.After showing this for a while, Yang Cong's face became flushed, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yang Sheng proudly and longingly.

Yang Sheng didn't quite understand what he wanted: "What's wrong?"

"Reward!" Yang Cong said confidently.

Unexpectedly, the little guy would have such a request, Yang Sheng paused and smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll give you some candy." Then, he took out a strawberry-flavored candy from the jar on the table, peeled it open Put the wrapping paper into Yang Cong's mouth, "Don't eat too much, remember to brush your teeth before going to bed." Yang Sheng himself doesn't like sweets, so a whole can of sugar is prepared for Yang Cong.Sugar has many colors and different flavors, it is delicious, no wonder Yang Cong misses it so much.

Yang Cong hastily swallowed the candy, almost biting Yang Sheng's hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "Well..."

"I'll take you out tomorrow." Yang Sheng looked at the candy jar, thinking that he hadn't led Yang Cong around so he could learn how to buy things by himself.But it shouldn't be difficult, Yang Sheng is very confident in his children.

"One dollar." Yang Cong moved his tongue against the candy, and answered vaguely, presumably he still remembered the banknotes Yang Sheng gave him to play with that day.Later, he suddenly changed back to his original form, and the money was lost, which is a pity.

Yang Sheng also remembered that his eyes became softer: "Well, it's more than one dollar."

So, the next afternoon, Yang Sheng really took Yang Cong to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities.It was the first time for Yang Cong to go to such a big store, and he was amazed all the way, and the owner of the small supermarket also laughed: "Whose child is this?" Since she knew that Yang Sheng was really not interested in her, this woman restrained her thoughts tactfully. , only treat each other as friends.

Yang Sheng touched the little head leaning against his legs: "My nephew."

"If you want to buy something delicious, Auntie will give you a discount." The boss looked Yang Cong up and down for a while, and said in a very gentle tone, "This child is so cute."

Yang Cong returned her with a bright smile: "Thank you, Auntie!" There is no sense of crisis, and she can be treated gently.

"What about the child?" The boss thought of the baby before, and thought it was Yang Sheng's son, but now it seems that she was wrong?

Yang Sheng didn't explain much, just said: "The child of a relative is in his hometown."

The boss didn't ask any more questions. After all, she gave up. Whether it was true or not had nothing to do with her.

The snack area of ​​the supermarket is further inside. Yang Sheng chatted with the boss for a while, and when he turned his head, he found that the little guy ran to the shelf inside, reading the words on the label very seriously. "It's the first time I came out today, and I can buy a pack of biscuits." Yang Sheng walked over and picked up the child so that he could choose, "Here, what do you like?"

Faced with a dazzling array of biscuits, Yang Cong was stunned. He looked over one by one. He didn't know what the soda biscuit was like, what was inside the sandwich biscuit, so he randomly took a small number on the label and gave it to Yang Sheng: "This!"

Yang Sheng glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly in an instant: "...Okay." I'll tell this guy when I get back, don't worry about the family's income, so let's not talk about it this time.

From this point of view, the child does know how to count and learns well.

When paying the bill, Yang Sheng took out his wallet and deliberately asked Yang Cong to figure out how much money he should pay and what it would look like.Yang Cong snapped his fingers, and it didn't take long to come to a conclusion, and even counted the amount of change: "Uncle, am I right?"

Before Yang Sheng could answer, the owner of the small supermarket spoke first: "Hey, this kid is really smart, is he in elementary school yet?"

"Soon." Since raising a child, Yang Sheng is not as indifferent to others as before.

"The elementary school on Guangming Road is good. Although it's a bit new, the teachers are good. My relatives work there. It's also close, and it's convenient to pick up and drop off."

It was the sleepiness that met the pillow, Yang Sheng was a little overjoyed, and decided to go there to ask if he had time to see what procedures were needed.After all, the child has a rural household registration, and relevant certificates and introductions are indispensable.

Yang Cong on the side listened quietly, remembering the word "primary school" firmly.

No wonder...
