The Guide to the Tear-offs in the Online Supporting Circle Part 2: Peak Acting Skills

After working overtime in a depressed mood, Xie Zhengyan received a message from his father Xie Tianyou.

"There are not enough people in the store, come and help."

Xie Zhengyan deduced that some workers asked for leave temporarily. His family's crayfish shop was doing well, and every dinner place was often full, and it would not be able to cope with the loss of one labor force. When this happened, his parents would call him to be a substitute, washing dishes, washing dishes, etc. Food, sweeping the floor, waiting hall, like sandbags, where there is a shortage of people, go there.Xie Zhengyan never dared to neglect his parents' orders, and immediately rushed to Zhabei without stopping. His family's restaurant was located in an old commercial street near the vegetable market, surrounded by low-rise and old buildings, ten years behind other rapidly changing new city centers.But there is also a benefit, that is, the grade of the business district here is close to the people, especially the catering industry is booming, which is favored by the citizens.

When he arrived, the aquatic product store was delivering the goods, and the master chef Ah Shuigong was checking the acceptance. He is a distant relative of the Xie family and from Jiaxing. He has worked in restaurants for ten years and is now 70 years old. His hair is gray and wrinkled, and his face is still hale and hearty.

"Hello Mr. Ah Shui."

Xie Zhengyan stepped forward to say hello respectfully, Ah Shuigong turned his head and saw him, with a kind smile on his face.

"Xiao Yan is here, just in time, come to eat candy."

He reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand, took it out and spread it out to Xie Zhengyan. In his dark hands lay two big white rabbit toffees that had melted and were slightly deformed.This grandpa likes to eat candies and always carries candies with him. Xie Zhengyan also loves to eat candies. When he was a child, his family asked him to buy them if they didn’t buy them. Ah Shuigong loved him very much and never let him down. He took the initiative to send sugar to him. This sweet warmth, together with his second uncle Xie Tiande and the female worker Guisao, built a thin but beautiful impression of Xie Zhengyan's desert-like emotional world.

"Thank you, Mr. A Shui."

Xie Zhengyan picked up the toffee and took out a bag of marshmallows from his backpack as an exchange. The old and the young wanted to say a few more pleasantries, but Xie Tianyou yelled at the door of the store: "Xie Zhengyan! The family is almost busy, can't help it?" Come in and help!"

"I'm coming!"

Xie Zhengyan rushed forward, Xie Tianyou casually handed him a broom and asked him to clean the shop.Xie Zhengyan locked the backpack into the counter drawer, and carefully cleaned out the piles of shrimp shells and crab legs, screw fish bones, and fruit shell paper balls. After receiving the goods, Mr. Ah Shui came over with an apron to help him tie it, and kindly asked: " When you are tired, come to the back kitchen to rest, and I will ask the workers to replace you."

Xie Zhengyan smiled and said that he could do it. After a round of sweeping, he quickly cleared the bowls and wiped the table, and poured tea for the guests. He has been doing this job since junior high school. Doing chores here with a greasy face would make him ashamed and embarrassed, and he got used to it after a long time. He felt that he was born to endure hardship, and resigning himself to fate could relieve some troubles.

At 7:[-], the number of diners was still not small, and the hot flashes also surged with the sunset. Xie Zhengyan was busy, his T-shirt was sweaty, and he took time to hide under the stairs and poured a cup of barley tea. Xie Zhengyan was eating with a friend. Tianyou urged him to receive new customers outside the store.

"Hi sir, how many people?"

He walked up to him with a smile on his face. There were about a dozen people in this group, all young men and women in their 20s. The leader was a smart-eyed boy who was dressed in fancy clothes. After reporting the number of diners, he turned around and shouted outside the store: "Rong Chuan, hurry up!"

Xie Zhengyan felt that the name sounded familiar, and that tall and straight figure had already entered. Today, the nobleman is dressed in a low-key manner. A simple wine red T-shirt + gray casual pants can also set off a good figure with wide shoulders and long legs.The loose round neck revealed a slender neck and a beautiful collarbone. A thin pale gold necklace supported the fair skin. It was clean, elegant and delicious, as if a bright moon was falling in, attracting the attention of people around.

Xie Zhengyan felt that there was an invisible pliers in the air firmly grasping his eyes, so when that person's attention turned to this direction, he couldn't hide himself in time, just like a goose stunned, its wooden brain exposed Under the other party's sight.

A trace of imperceptible strangeness slipped across Rong Chuan's handsome face, as if he recognized him, and then he greeted him with a very natural smile.Xie Zhengyan hurriedly returned a smile, but his whole face cramped due to improper force, and he felt extremely stupid. In a blink of an eye, his face turned red, and his stiff hands and feet had not yet returned to their original positions. Rong Chuan had already entered the store surrounded by his companions.The guy with glasses said with a smile that the person who pays the bill should sit first, and he was arranged in the corner. Xie Zhengyan was also sent by his father to clean the live shrimp at the door, and the two of them got together more than ten meters away. You can see the person, but you can't hear the voice.

After almost a month, Rong Chuan actually recognized him. Was it because of his ugly appearance that day that he was so impressed that he still remembers it so vividly?

Xie Zhengyan's mood slid along with the ups and downs of his thoughts, shy, embarrassed and irritable, and secretly looked at the seat that caused the confusion midway.The group of people were dressed in different clothes, and their temperament and behavior obviously came from different classes, but they could talk and laugh happily. It should be a class reunion. Only an ivory tower can bring people with different identities to the same platform for equal communication.

Rong Chuan is obviously the most self-cultivated among them. Compared with those few excited male classmates, he has always been low-key and stable. He spends most of his time quietly listening to the sidelines, passing items to the ladies, and laughing when he is teased. Wei Wei's four-and-two-way chatter, and occasional chatter, are only at a volume that can be heard by the people at the same table.This outstanding demeanor and self-cultivation has deepened his sense of existence, and I believe anyone with a little knowledge can see that this is a young master with a noble family and a well-educated family.

Xie Zhengyan was even more entangled in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy. Following the ups and downs of loneliness, he looked around inadvertently again, and suddenly shuddered.As unexpectedly as two planets with different orbits colliding in the vast universe, his and Rong Chuan's gazes collided with each other through the chaotic space, and the resulting heat wave burned his eyes, and he shrank his head in panic, as if What a terrible thing to do, at a loss.

Is that person peeking at me too?Or did he notice me when I peeked at him first?

His mind is like the atmosphere before a thunderstorm, turbulent and unstable, he is clearly determined not to make a fool of himself again, but in the end he can't suppress the desire to explore, and he has been planning for a long time to take a sneaky look at the past again.Now it is clear that the calm young man is looking at him calmly, calmly, like a cunning hunter waiting for a rabbit, catching him, a sneaky voyeur, without any effort.

A thunderbolt rolled over Xie Zhengyan's scalp. He really wanted to turn into a piece of paper and slip into the cracks of the ground. When he dropped the work in his hand and tried to move to the back of the kitchen, Xie Tianyou directed him to pay the bill and make the best of it. Clean up those messy tables.

Xie Zhengyan had no choice but to brazenly walk around beside Rong Chuan, doing things with his back to him as much as possible, so as to hide his burning face, and now he heard the conversation between his father and friends that he hadn't heard outside the door just now.

"I said you should hurry back and tell your son not to have another child. It is expensive to raise children, and it is useless to have too many children. Look at my family. One eldest is enough, and the extra is a waste."

"You talk about drinking again, your second child has also been admitted to a key university, and he is also very promising."

"Oh, what a ghost, people in their twenties can't stand on their own, and the money they make can't even support themselves."

"What are you afraid of, just let him inherit this store in the future."

"No, no, no, he is not that kind of material. I think he will lose all his underwear. I get angry when I see that he can't carry his shoulders and hands. Return some gift money."

Xie Zhengyan didn't know if his father's friends knew him, and he didn't know whether his father really made a slip of the tongue after drinking or deliberately belittled him in front of him.Maybe the latter is more likely. Recently, when I met him, he always said that his salary was low, and he spent so much money in vain to go to college.Like mothers, fathers are used to measuring the value of their children by economic benefits. The eldest son with a thriving career is a blue-chip stock with huge profits. In contrast, the youngest son with an uncertain future is a junk stock with no return. own loss.

The huge meteorite crushed back and forth on Xie Zhengyan's poor little heart. He complained about his father's ruthlessness. He knew that he would not be seen, but it would be good to save a little face for himself. Why would he use blatant words in front of everyone? Wash his face?He has already been so clearly aware of his own humbleness, why bother to strengthen it?

As soon as he lost his mind, his hands and feet lost coordination. A stack of tall dishes fell from his palm like an avalanche. become a sieve.

"Cenna! Are your hands crippled? How could I be able to give birth to all my sons, and the Huangpu River covers my forehead, so I should save some money!"

Xie Tianyou jumped up impatiently, pointed at Xie Zhengyan's nose and cursed. He was not good at scolding, he only knew those few words over and over again. Xie Zhengyan had heard them by heart since he was a child, but he still couldn't get used to the harm caused by this insult.He saw the disgust behind his father's fierce look, and in his opinion, he was probably not worth as much as the broken dishes.

Friends held down Xie Tianyou to persuade them, and some people also comforted Xie Zhengyan by the way. Xie Zhengyan squatted down to pick up the wreckage with a blank face, feeling that his life was just like this ground, scattered with fragments of tragedy, and more days of wind and rain are still here Waiting behind him, he couldn't waste his energy on this insignificant node, so he swallowed all his grievances and sorrows like saliva, and maintained his useless image of "spitting on his face" without saying a word.

The only thing he can't let go of is whether the person behind him is also watching the process of his humiliation. When he thinks of Rong Chuan's night-like and quiet eyes with his ugly face, which is lower than a reptile, Xie Zhengyan bursts into heart-carving shame. feel.Of course, high-ranking people don't care whether the worm is ashamed or not, they either disdain it, or find it incomprehensibly funny, Xie Zhengyan guessed this way, rolled to the brink of collapse, and couldn't help but give up on himself and turned to look at the person's expression at this time.

Seeing that the seats were empty, Rong Chuan walked away at some point.
