Meng Yixuan knew that the shopping and food court on Huaihai Middle Road had opened a high-end Japanese grocery store a year and a half ago, occupying a spacious shop on two floors close to the road, and the business was booming.The name of this Japanese grocery store is Shizang, but she has never been in it, because she knows that she doesn't have that kind of money to spend on appetite.

She just passes by the door of the store every day on her way to and from get off work, standing outside the door of Shizang, occasionally stopping for a moment, looking inside, through the polished and reflective floor-to-ceiling glass, she can see the extremely spacious and all-day luxury decoration in the store.Occasionally, I heard colleagues mention this restaurant at work. The owner seems to be a Chinese with long-term residency in Japan. He has lived in Japan for 11 years and has practiced cooking for ten years. He only recently returned to China and opened this restaurant.The boss is not often there, and it seems that he has to go to Japan for three to four months every year.But most of the time, they are in charge of business in the store.

Moreover, they also said that the boss is actually a woman, and she is very beautiful and has a very charming temperament.

Meng Yixuan didn't know where they heard these gossips, they were clearly just cleaners, even if they worked in a high-end office building, they couldn't regard themselves as white-collar workers.Sometimes she would think nastyly, don't expect to say some gossip that sounds high-end, and she can deceive herself into the ranks of white-collar workers.

Most of these words were overheard by the company's senior white-collar workers chatting in their spare time.

Meng Yixuan is 27 years old and has a high school education. She is currently a cleaner and works at Mingdu Building, a well-known high-end office building on Huaihai Middle Road. She belongs to the cleaning company that contracted the building's cleaning business.This is her first job, but it is undoubtedly the most satisfying job so far.

The working hours are from 2000:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., with six days off and one day off, and there is still [-] yuan left after the miscellaneous wages are deducted every month. This kind of work is really satisfying for her.After all, there are really not many companies that can pay five insurances and one housing fund for people like them. This cleaning company is really kind to its employees.

After graduating from high school, she directly gave up the college entrance examination and entered the society. Now that she thinks about it, she has no regrets. The choice she made at that time was the most correct choice, and she still thinks so.She couldn't stay in that house anymore, and there was no place for Ben to stay. At least after graduating from high school, it was time to come out.However, thinking of the adoptive grandmother in heaven, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.

Abandoned by her biological parents when she was five months old, she was brought home by her adoptive grandmother.From childhood to adulthood, life has been unimaginably difficult for ordinary people.It would be fine if it was just physical torture, but being discriminated against when she was young and growing up, it was a huge mental ordeal for her as a young girl.

Why are you discriminated against?It's not because she is disabled or ugly, on the contrary, she has healthy limbs, intelligent mind, delicate facial features, and looks quite attractive.Just because she's a girl, that's all.

Her name, Meng Yixuan, was given by her biological parents. It sounds very artistic and nice, and most likely her biological parents are also considered cultural people.It's just that cultural people abandon their children cruelly, leaving only a sweat towel with their name and birthday written on it in their swaddling clothes.Such a cultural person does not know where he has read all the books.In the words of my adoptive grandmother: "This name is the only thing your bastard parents left you, so keep it as a souvenir."

Because of this name, she became attached to Lao Meng's family.Thinking about it now, it might be a bad fate, but after all, she was brought up by the old Meng family. This is a fact, and she can't deny it.

"Look, this doll is also surnamed Meng, and it was thrown on the old three-wheeler of our family. Isn't this related to my old Meng's family." This is the first time her adoptive grandmother said when she was brought home. In a word.

Can the old Meng family agree?Naturally, he didn't agree at first.Her mud-legged adoptive father, who came from the countryside and had just entered the city not long ago, was still full of feudal air. He was thinking about having a few boys with his wife who just married into the house to expand the family business. He hit him hard and gave her a girl doll.

"Mother, this girl is a loser. We raise it, and there is no benefit." The adoptive father's words back then were told by the adoptive grandmother before she died.

The adoptive grandmother has an elementary school education level. She has never read any books in her life, but she has a strong heart. Her husband died early, and she raised her son through hardships. He has the temperament of a stinky man.Qian Zi'er didn't earn a lot, but all day long, women are long and women are short, and his eyes are full of discrimination against women.I thought that my son should restrain himself in front of me, but I didn't expect that he could say such words in front of her old mother. The adoptive grandmother's heart was half cold at that time.

"You don't raise her, I'll raise her! It doesn't cost you a penny!" The adoptive grandmother put down her harsh words to her bastard son.

As soon as these words were uttered, his adoptive father, Meng Dahai, accepted them honestly.The old lady took out most of her life savings and began to take care of raising the baby girl.After finally raising the child until weaning, the old lady built a stall for Jiuniang Lantern Festival, which was pulled by a tricycle, with the little girl on her back, and then rode a tricycle to sell it along the street.

At any rate, Meng Dahai didn't have any evil intentions to the end. The old Meng's family was originally in the business of breakfast, and he had to bear the cost of the raw materials that the old lady needed to make Jiuniang Lantern Festival.It's just that the old lady was stubborn, and she insisted on giving Meng Dahai half of the money she earned, and she only earned half of it. The mother and son started a joint venture model, which made the neighbors laugh for a long time.

Meng Dahai was originally a migrant worker when he entered the city. He broke his leg while working on a construction site. He was not cured and became lame. At least he asked for a sum of compensation. Luckily, he was introduced by a good friend and got the offer. An old shop plus housing on the old street, started to do breakfast business.Their family originally came from the countryside of Shanxi, and they are good at making pasta.Meng Dahai has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and he has developed a skill in dim sum since he was a child.It's just that I didn't expect that I would go back to my old business. The ambition of entering the big Shanghai and breaking into the world was now crushed to powder because of that fall.

The daughter-in-law Meng Dahai just married is the daughter of the old golden stewed vegetable shop at the east end of the old street.Meng Dahai is a lame man, if she didn't see him as being honest and easy to bully, and his early business was doing well, and he often showed courtesies to herself, she would not have married him.The most important thing is that if she marries this man, she is close and has the support of her natal family, so she will not be bullied by her in-laws.

When Jinfeng saw Meng Yixuan, who was still a baby at that time, she howled at the top of her voice. "Where did this wild bastard come from? The origin is unknown. I have to take care of eating, drinking, and messing around. I didn't give birth to him. Why?"

The old lady knew that this girl's life might be miserable, but she was reluctant to give her to another family to be raised, or sent to an orphanage. When she found this girl on the tricycle, it was a midsummer night. The cicadas were singing, the little thing was in the swaddling baby, neither crying nor fussing, it was soft and glutinous when hugged, opened its small mouth and smiled at the old lady, the little pear dimples on the corners of the lips were sweet, and the old lady I can't let go anymore.

This life is tiring and tiring, so let's be selfish just once, child, don't blame grandma, I hope that the first half of my life will be bitter, and the second half of my life will be replaced by sweetness. Grandma knows that you are a blessed one, and you will be a blessed one .

The little guy grew up with his grandma day by day, and spent his life on grandma's tricycle until he was five years old.When she was three and a half years old, she started to help her grandma buy wine and glutinous rice balls. The little girl was actually very good at counting, and never made a mistake in collecting money and making change.An accident happened when he was five years old, which made the old lady afraid to take the child out again.The old lady hurriedly went to the public restroom, and the female doll was looking at the stall alone. When the old lady came out of the bathroom, she happened to see a man holding the female doll and was about to run away. The female doll was struggling desperately. , Copy the mop in the bathroom and hit it.The kidnapper was beaten away, but the little girl stayed at home and never went out with her grandma.

The girl who stayed at home didn't enjoy a day of happiness either, and since then became Meng Dahai and Jinfeng's servant girl, the best free labor.People who do early business get up earlier than crowing roosters.At the beginning of the 90s, the condition of the old street was poor, and the whole street shared one public toilet.For convenience at night and early in the morning, every family still uses a spittoon.Meng Yixuan's job is to empty the spittoon in the morning and scrub it clean.Then do the laundry and dry the clothes.Next, he went into the kitchen and helped Meng Dahai chop the stuffing for the buns, and put the wrapped buns into cages.Picking vegetables, yarding meat, kneading dough, all the tasks that are free, no matter whether she can do it or not, she has to do it all.At that time, Meng Dahai had already got his wish and had two sons. Meng Yixuan had no status at home. Even the Pekingese dog tied to the back door had to eat meat every day, but Meng Yixuan was not as good as it.

Jin Feng completely regarded herself as a young mistress, and left all the work that she was supposed to do to Meng Yixuan. As long as this girl was under her nose, she didn't even bother to help the broom when it fell down.

The little girl didn't complain at all, it wasn't that she didn't complain in her heart, and it wasn't that she was born as the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, but she understood very early on that complaining was useless.She has to rely on this family to survive. Grandma works hard outside for her tuition fees. As long as she can go to school, as long as she can study, as long as she grows up and has the ability to take grandma out of this family, everything else is not important.

Grandma's Jiuniang Lantern Festival stall is open next to Gezhi Middle School, which is the closest to the old street. The students and parents who go to and from school like the old lady's craftsmanship, and the daily harvest is not bad.When she was six years old, the little girl entered elementary school as she wished.Although she has never been to kindergarten, the so-called preschool education really means nothing to the little girl.

In the six years of elementary school, she has become the hardest child, the most hardworking child, and the most distressed child without any accident.The teacher is used to only assigning her homework in advance every day, so that she can use her spare time to finish her homework before school.Because after she gets home, she won't have any time to do her homework, and she will be busy with that family until she goes to bed at ten o'clock.She is so frugal that it makes people sad. The ten-cent pencil is so short that it can't be held by small hands, but it is still used.Erasers worth [-] cents were used up and turned into scraps, so I was reluctant to throw them away.Every day at noon, the children eat the nutritious meal given by the school, but she just holds an old and square stainless steel lunch box to eat deliciously. Stir-fried vegetables in lard with a little white rice or leftover steamed buns, occasionally adding a poached egg is an accident Surprise, it was the smell of grandma, which she still misses so much.

The top grades and the hard-working and poor top students will always be her labels.In the past six years, she has always been alone in the parent meeting. She will not tell her grandma that the school will hold a parent meeting. Grandma didn't know from Meng Dahai that the school had a parent meeting until after her grandson entered elementary school. At that time, Meng Yixuan had already It's fourth grade.Afterwards, grandma didn't propose to attend the parent meeting. She knew what Meng Yixuan was thinking. Sometimes she would go home after nine o'clock in the evening. Seeing the little girl still busy at home, she could only hide and wipe her face secretly. tears.

Through her own efforts and the strong recommendation of the principal of the primary school, she entered Gezhi Middle School and got the opportunity of tuition reduction and work-study program.Gezhi Middle School is one of the best middle schools in Shanghai, where Meng Yixuan spent the best time growing up.That was her youthful years, she tasted the taste of life other than bitterness for the first time, sweet and sour, very wonderful.

When she was only 14 years old, she will always remember a name——Han Weiji.
