After Hell

Seven o'clock in the evening was originally a fixed time for Zhang Xiaoheng to accompany Zhang Xiaolin to watch the news at home.

But at the Zhang family at this time, the sound of hastily pouring water and rummaging through drawers was being heard.

Zhang Xiaolin added some cold boiled water into the cup filled with hot water, tested the temperature of the water in the cup with her lips, and after confirming that her mouth was not scalded, she quickly took out Analgin Antipyretic Tablets from a drawer full of family medicines Came to Zhang Xiaoheng's room.

"Brother, come, take your medicine. Why do you always have a fever lately? It's only been a few days? You have a fever again." Zhang Xiaolin slowly helped Zhang Xiaoheng up, who was a little confused by the fever, and put a pillow behind him, and picked up the medicine in one hand , Holding the water glass in one hand and handing it to him.

Zhang Xiaoheng's face was flushed with heat, but he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body.Sitting up from under the quilt tremblingly, he weakly took the medicine handed by his sister, took a water glass and swallowed a few sips of water with difficulty before pressing the antipyretic medicine down his throat.

Seeing her brother in such poor health, Zhang Xiaolin felt terribly distressed: "It's too tiring to work in a bar, why don't you quit? You have a fever every now and then, how can your body take it?"

Zhang Xiaoheng patted his younger sister's hand and gave her a reassuring smile: "I'm fine. Your body is almost recovered, and it's time to go back to school. Recently, read more books at home and prepare for the high school entrance examination. Ask me if you don't understand , or ask Zhao Feng."

Zhang Xiaolin saw that Zhang Xiaoheng's lips were white and peeled due to the fever, her eyes were flushed, and she said in a crying voice: "Brother, can you stop working so hard to make money? My health is much better, and I can also work to earn money by myself." Tuition fees. Just return to school half a year later."

Zhang Xiaoheng didn't want to see his younger sister looking sad again, so he raised his hand and gently touched her head, but his tone revealed unquestionable firmness: "No, girls can't afford to be young. You are already two years behind others. Now that the illness is cured, it cannot be delayed for half a year."

Zhang Xiaolin listened to Zhang Xiaoheng's weak voice revealing the majesty of her elder brother, and she knew that he was distressed about her youth. Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, her eyes were hazy with tears: "But your health has been so poor recently, you always have a fever, and your face is pale, really. It hurts so much."

When Zhang Xiaolin said this, she couldn't continue, she shed tears and sobbed in front of Zhang Xiaoheng.She was actually very angry at the moment. On the one hand, she was angry at why she was so young and weak, and had to rely on her elder brother for everything; on the other hand, she was angry at Zhang Xiaoheng for being too stubborn and refused to listen to her advice: "Brother, you are always so stubborn! Everything I have to bear all the hardships by myself, my sister is really... what can I do, what should I do to save you from working so hard?"

Seeing that his sister was crying, Zhang Xiaoheng immediately relented: "I'm fine, Xiaolin." He gently took Zhang Xiaolin's hand, and gently coaxed her: "I really can't hold on, I will find a way. Don't worry. If I'm still like this next month... next month, I'll quit, okay?"

Zhang Xiaolin nodded sobbingly when she heard her brother say that.

Zhang Xiaoheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he finally calmed down his sister who was a little bit emotional.

In fact, he knew very well about his previous fever and illness. It should have been caused by not cleaning up what Qin Yijie left in his body in time, and not taking good care of his wound, which caused inflammation and infection.

But how many times recently?Qin Yijie has prepared for him to expand, and I don't know if he has adapted to Qin Yijie recently. When he had a relationship with Qin Yijie recently, he was not injured or bleeding afterwards.Before he left After Hell the last few times, he had carefully checked his body.

So why?Zhang Xiaoheng touched his forehead, which was still hot, and felt a little confused.

************************

Zhang Xiaoheng burned for a day before the temperature subsided.He hasn't been to AfterHell for two days, which will definitely affect his income this month.

So, the first thing he did after waking up was to call the foreman, wanting to apologize and say something nice to him, and by the way, tell the foreman that he would go to work tonight.Although he had asked for leave with the foreman when he had a fever before, he did not expect to be delayed for so long.

Among the part-time employees of AfterHell, Zhang Xiaoheng's performance is considered top-notch, and the big boss Edmond usually takes good care of him. If he doesn't go for two days in a row, the foreman will think that he is proud of him.

Zhang Xiaoheng reckoned that today was Saturday, and the bar's business would be good at night.He chose to call the foreman at such a busy time. Presumably when the foreman was short of manpower, he would take the initiative to admit his mistake and go to work. The picky and strict foreman should not give him too much embarrassment.

The contract signed with AfterHell at the beginning stipulated that at least 20 hours a week should be on duty.But this week was delayed for two days, and he only went for 12 hours.

Zhang Xiaoheng basically goes to AfterHell to work part-time for two to three hours every day from 8:10 to 11:[-] or [-]:[-] pm. That time is the busiest time of the bar, and he has to go home afterwards.The community where his family is located is an old-fashioned community, and the security is not very good, and thieves occasionally patronize.So in the middle of the night, he is usually at home. After all, Zhang Xiaolin is the only girl in the house, which is very worrying.

Zhang Xiaoheng, who was already prepared to be scolded in his heart, gritted his teeth and dialed the number of the foreman who had a somewhat eccentric temper and a stinging mouth.

"Hello? Who is it?" After the phone was connected, the sound of noisy people and moving heavy objects also came. "Hey! Be careful, these wines are all put in the underground wine cellar. The temperature of the wine cellar on the first floor is not low enough, and the wine will go bad. Over there, that newcomer over there, hurry up and disinfect the tables and chairs Wipe it down."

"Jason, it's me, Chris." After the foreman finished talking on the phone, Zhang Xiaoheng sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry I haven't come these two days, I will come tonight as soon as the store opens." Zhang Xiaoheng has been to AfterHell for three It's been a month, and this is the first time he needs to apologize to the boss for personal reasons.To be honest, he was not used to it, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to listen to the next lecture from the foreman Jason.

After a few seconds, Zhang Xiaoheng only heard the other party panting on the phone, and didn't hear any harsh lessons, so he was very puzzled.

"Hey! Chris! Are you feeling better?" The foreman's voice came from the mobile phone, and his sincere concern and greetings could be heard: "If you're all right, come tonight. If it's not good, then rest ,It's fine."

Holding the phone, Zhang Xiaoheng stared at the screen. After a few seconds, he hurriedly said, "Okay, I will report on time at seven o'clock in the evening. You have to do your work first, thanks for your hard work."

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoheng quickly hung up the phone.

what's the situation? !Is this still the foreman who is uncomfortable without training?Why is your attitude so abnormal?

Could it be... that he was going to be fired? !After all, the foreman is only gentle when he opens his mouth to fire someone.This is something they all know among the waiters.

Sensing the abnormal behavior of the foreman, Zhang Xiaoheng felt a little flustered.He quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, cleaned himself up and went out the door.
