Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 384 My Sister - Canteen Work

Zhou Leng is now an illiterate and stupid person, and it is not easy for him to find a suitable job.

Li Gu has been taking Zhou Leng to the job market for more than a month, but there has been no progress.

There are always villains in movies and TV dramas to advance the development of the plot, and the villains in ordinary life are probably money, freedom and desire.

Zhou Leng deliberately reduced his food intake and worked hard to cultivate himself when he was alone. After more than a month of persistence, he slowly consumed all the fat on his body, and his appearance also changed visibly. In the eyes of his family, he now lost weight rapidly because he was sad and upset because he couldn't find a job. Bai Xiaohua now began to blame himself, thinking that it was because of his words that he lost weight now. When eating, he always served Zhou Leng more rice.

Because he had lost a lot of weight, people at home began to care about Zhou Leng for no apparent reason. For example, even though he had just eaten 30 minutes ago, Sun Dashan walked up to Zhou Leng with a bag of steamed buns and said:

"Dacheng, come and have a steamed bun. I see you've lost a lot of weight recently. This is so unhealthy. Look how strong you used to be."

Zhou Leng seemed to cautiously turn his head to look at Bai Xiaohua not far away. He seemed to have made up his mind and refused:

"I haven't found a job yet, so I can't eat too much. If you eat for free, you're a fool. I'm not a fool. I'll eat more when I make money."

Sun Dashan was helpless. He blocked Zhou Leng's sight with his body. He said softly, "Eat it. Your aunt lets you eat it. You see, I serve you a lot of rice every time we eat. Your aunt won't scold you anymore."

Zhou Leng was clearly drooling at the sight of the steamed buns, but he firmly refused.

Sun Dashan was in a lot of trouble. Ever since Dacheng started to lose weight, the atmosphere in the family had really reached freezing point. His daughter-in-law no longer smiled as cheerfully as before, and his son had been busy lately, going out early and coming back late, and he had not tried to mediate. The old couple were really cautious, for fear of upsetting the two brothers.

Deep down in her heart, Bai Xiaohua never considered Li and Gu as her own family. She thought that it would not be difficult for her son to find a partner given his conditions. However, Li Gu brought a burdensome brother with him, and the two of them had to take care of Li Cheng every day, so she felt very resentful.

Sun Dashan was self-aware. He knew that if it weren't for the fact that he and his wife could help take care of Li Cheng, his son wouldn't be able to find a girl with such conditions as a daughter-in-law, so he had been working hard to maintain the relationship with Li Cheng. At this moment, he saw that Zhou Leng didn't eat the steamed buns, so he said in a gentle voice:

"Dacheng, how about I take you out for a nice meal? We can buy whatever you want to eat."

Bai Xiaohua rolled her eyes where the two of them couldn't see, but didn't say anything. Dasha had indeed lost a lot of weight recently, and she was afraid that if he lost more weight, he would get sick, which would be like a bottomless pit.

"May I?"

"Of course, let's go out and have something to eat and drink."

The two of them walked out, and before closing the door, Zhou Leng politely smiled and waved to Bai Xiaohua who was watching them leave.

After the door closed, a soft hum floated in the room.

Sun Dashan naturally wouldn't take Zhou Leng to any high-end restaurants, so the two of them went to a snack stall in the vegetable market and feasted.

"Hey, Old Sun, you left your wife at home and came out to eat by yourself, you are tired of living like this!"

A man in old dark blue clothes came over and said loudly that he thought Zhou Leng was someone who shared the table.

"Hey, Lao Chen, you're here too. This is my son's brother-in-law. I brought him here to eat something."

Zhou Leng buried his head in his food without looking up or saying anything.

"Dacheng, this is Uncle Chen, come and say hello."

After being slapped, Zhou Leng raised his head, revealed his simple and honest smile and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen."

"Hey, eat quickly."

Lao Chen sat down, put the food in his hand on the table and called out, "Boss Li, give me a bowl of ban mian, wide noodles."

"Okay, sit and wait for a while."

After Old Chen sat down, he saw Zhou Leng lowering his head to eat again, and then he said, "Dacheng looks much smarter than when your son got married, but he has lost a lot of weight. I didn't recognize him at first."

"Much better. Recently, his family decided to find him a job. He's obedient, hardworking and strong. Look at him, he's tall. Even though he's lost a lot of weight, he's in great shape. He can lift me up without any problem."

"Your description seems to have been mentioned before? Haha."

"Isn't this just a metaphor? Look at what you're thinking. We just happened to meet today. Otherwise, I would like to trouble you too. Please help keep an eye on the child. It's not that our family can't afford to raise this child, but I always feel that this child will be more clever if he contacts outsiders and sees more of the outside world. You say that if he stays at home with us two old guys every day, a good person will become stupid. Please help me keep an eye on him."

Old Chen swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "You know what, there is really a job suitable for him. Recently, the canteen of the Social Welfare Center on Fanglin Road is looking for someone who is strong and obedient. Why don't you take him there to try it out?"

"Can it be done?"

"Give it a try. You're just staying here anyway. I'll give you my contact number later."

Zhou Leng kept his head down while eating, and after finishing his meal he waited obediently for Sun Dashan. He saw Sun Dashan pay for the man's meal, and then they exchanged greetings and left together.

"Dacheng, follow me, don't get lost."

"understood."

In the evening, Sun Dashan talked about this matter with Li Gu. After they contacted the welfare center by phone, they agreed to go for an interview the next day.

The next day, something that neither Sun Dashan nor Zhou Leng had high hopes for actually went smoothly. Zhou Leng simply carried two bags of rice easily and a large basket of vegetables in one hand and walked briskly, and the other party nodded with satisfaction.

The person who interviewed him was the person in charge of the cafeteria. He said his surname was Feng and asked the two to call him Director Feng. Director Feng looked at Zhou Leng and said to Sun Dashan:

"This kid is good in every way, but I'm afraid there will be communication problems. Let him work for me for a few days first. If he's good, he can stay. If not, I'll pay him for the days he works. Our monthly salary is 3,500 yuan. The more work, the more work. The less work, the less work. Food is provided, but accommodation is not. You can go back and think about it."

"Director Feng, thank you so much. We will go back first."

On the way back, Sun Dashan looked at the quiet person beside him. He suddenly had an illusion that the child's eyes seemed to have become much deeper, not as clear as before. When he tilted his head and looked carefully, he was met with the other's pure and honest smile. He also smiled, laughing at himself for being too sensitive.

"Dacheng, you are happy too, right? No matter what, being able to support yourself gives you confidence!"

Zhou Leng did not answer, but just smiled innocently and walked steadily.
