24. Yan Yanyihuo

Dongzhi put the money given by Zhan Jing into the piggy bank and kept it properly. Except for taking the money to repair the mobile phone that fell into the river, he didn't spend any other penny.

Fortunately, there was no big problem with the phone, otherwise, the money might have to be paid in if you change it to a new one.

On the third day after the birthday party, Dongzhi chose a good day to go out. He took the bus to his destination - Tiansheng Shopping Mall - and looked at each store starting from the first floor.

When she saw a cafe or a western restaurant, she pushed the door open and went to the front desk to ask someone for a question.

Five or six stores in a row received the desired answer.

Dongzhi walked from the first floor to the second floor, and saw another Western restaurant. She stopped at the door for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and went in after doing her mental construction.

When I went to the front desk, I asked exactly the same questions in other stores before.

"Hello, do you need winter vacation workers here?"

The person at the counter was wiping the bar, "Winter vacation worker? You want it, do you want to apply for a waiter or something?"

"No..." Dongzhi hesitated and said softly, "Do you need to accompany the guests here? It's like some Western restaurants that can invite people to play the piano, do you need to play the violin..."

"This, sorry." The clerk immediately smiled apologetically, "We have no such thing in the store for the time being."

As expected, Dong Zhi was disappointed for a moment and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you."

Walking out of the store, Dongzhi continued to move forward and headed to the next store.

Halfway through the shop on the second floor, I was about to lose hope, and finally found a cafe with a short-term worker in this area.

"The violin is OK, but our store usually invites people to play the piano. There was a violin a long time ago, but it disappeared later. I ask, I might have to talk to our store manager for specific details, please wait."

Dongzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you."

The cafe clerk called the shop manager, who was a man in casual clothes, looked young and very energetic.

The store manager asked Dongzhi to sit down and chat in the corner.

"How old are you?"

"Eighteenth anniversary."

"So young. I'm just in high school, right?"

"Yeah, senior year of high school."

"You said you can play the violin, right? How many levels are you?"

"I didn't get a grade exam." Dong Zhi looked stern and quickly added with a little nervousness, "But I can do the level ten."

The store manager frowned and thought, "This..."

"I participated in a violin competition some time ago and won the first place." Dongzhi said hurriedly, "If you have a certificate of award, I can show you." She said, "If you feel embarrassed, you can give it less money... it doesn't matter."

"I won the first place in the competition?" said the store manager, "That's not bad. This way, I'll give you a lot of money. Usually, I'll give you as much as you want in an hour. You can play the piano for a while, thirty minutes. Is this OK?"

"Yes." Dongzhi responded without hesitation.

The talk went smoothly. I think it was her words "No. 1 in the competition" that added, otherwise it would be a bit unlucky according to the store manager's previous attitude.

Everything was agreed, just wait for Dongzhi to come again the next day.

...

For several days, Dongzhi went out while Dong Qin's wife was not at home. Of course, it was impossible for her to be so coincidental every day.

On the fifth day of her winter vacation work, Dong Qinsao stayed at home and didn't even go out.

Mrs. Dong Qin was busy working in the hall. Dong Zhi hurried out of the room with a big bag. Mrs. Dong Qin turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

Dongzhi replied in the yard: "I have something to do when I go out!"

Unable to see the rest, Mrs. Dong Qin could only vaguely see what she was carrying, and most of it was blocked by her. She couldn't help but mutter: "Jing runs out..." and shouted, "Come back early!"

Dongzhi responded and said yes, and then left in a hurry.

...

More than a week passed in a blink of an eye. Cold air came and cooled down again under the low temperature.

Xiao Jingran was preparing to make friends, wearing a fashionable coat, carrying a bag on his arm, and down from the stairs. He ordered his wife Dong Qin who was wiping the sofa and coffee table in the living room: "I'll go to the cloakroom upstairs to change my beige coat hanging on the hanger, and change it to a small size, and the receipt is in the left pocket."

Mrs. Dong Qin said, "Okay wife."

"Remember, don't forget." Xiao Jingran finished instructing him and went out Kuankuan.

The Chen family has turned on the heating, and the renovation was renovated a few years ago, and the ground heat was installed under the floor, so warm that it seemed to be in two seasons outside the door.

After finishing his work, Mrs. Dong Qin saw the time. It was already past four o'clock, so she hurried to do what Xiao Jingran ordered. Chen Wenxi didn't go home for dinner at night, so Xiao Jingran might not be sure, and Chen would not be sure. He would move faster and just come back in the evening.

Mrs. Dong Qin went upstairs, went to Xiao Jingran's cloakroom to take off her coat, took out her receipt and put it in her pocket, put it in her coat, and went out immediately.

The last line of the store’s address is written on the second floor of Tiansheng Mall.

The owner will be reimbursed for the expenses when taking a taxi out and going out when doing business to the owner.

Before five o'clock, I arrived at Tiansheng Shopping Mall. Mrs. Dong Qin took her bag and headed straight to the second floor to the escalator.

These "a1", "a2", "b1" and "b2" in the mall really make her dizzy. Even if there are signs next to the elevator, the more she looks, the more she can't figure out the direction.

Mrs. Dong Qin studied it for a long time, determined the location of the store, and looked over while looking.

Passing the second floor, she saw a beautifully decorated Western restaurant connected to a romantic cafe. She glanced casually and was about to continue moving forward. After the light of her eyes caught a familiar figure, she stopped suddenly and turned her head back.

The wall of the cafe is transparent glass. Look at it obliquely. There is a round platform near the wall. There is a piano on the round platform. But at this time, no one played the piano, and there was a girl playing the violin standing next to it.

How could Mrs. Dong Qin not recognize her daughter?

Dongzhi stood there, closing his eyes and playing the violin, occasionally opening his eyes, looking down, not paying attention to the surroundings, let alone outside the store.

Mrs. Dong Qin was stunned for a long time, and after a while, she came to the entrance of the cafe.

A waiter stood at the door, and Mrs. Dong Qin stood up and asked, "That... Hello, let me ask, are there anyone in your store playing the piano? That kind of piano, and that kind of piano playing in your hands?"

The waiter was not impatient and had great professionalism. He smiled on his face and said patiently: "Yes, our store invites people to play live every day. Sometimes it is a piano, and sometimes the violin rotates in the morning and evening."

"Is this...this is considered a job?"

“Yes. There are long-term and short-term.”

Mrs. Dong Qin kept staring inside, blocked by the potted plants in the room, and her vision was still unremittingly inquiring. She hesitated and asked, "The girl inside..." She was afraid that the waiter would find her strange, "I think she is not old and has a very skilled posture. When I heard this at the door, it seemed quite nice. How long has she been here? Your environment is so good, it's good to sit with relatives and friends during the New Year..."

She was wearing clothes with obvious old texture. Not to mention dressing up, her thick cotton coat was bloated, and her rough fingers seemed to do too much rough work. She didn't look like someone who would come to such occasions.

The waiter still smiled: "The girl who plays the violin is new."

"This, how long will she stand on that day?" Mrs. Dong Qin looked at the waiter with her eyes that looked cloudy due to overwork.

“Four hours.”

"Where is the evening?"

“All.”

"Oh, oh..." Mrs. Dong Qin thanked the waiter blankly, "Well, where is this store? Do you know?" She pretended to be here to ask for directions, and she showed the receipt to the other party, "I can't find it, I originally wanted to come and ask for directions..."

The waiter saw it and pointed it to her. Mrs. Dong Qin thanked her again and left with her clothes.

Walking away, Mrs. Dong Qin couldn't help but turn back frequently and almost hit someone.

...

It cooled down for only one day, and it heated up again the next day.

Dongzhi was still working in the afternoon. He packed up and was about to go out with his things, but his wife Dong Qin who had been staying in the room suddenly came out.

"Where are you going?"

Dongzhi originally wanted to go out while she was in the room, so she might as well come out suddenly, "I have something to do when I go out..."

"Do you think I don't know, right?" said Mrs. Dong Qin. "What can you put in with that big bag? You're not holding your piano case, so I'm afraid I'll scold you if you carry the piano case... I can't tell you that big bag?"

Dong Zhiran was silent and thought about what to say.

I heard Mrs. Dong Qin say, "I can't stop you, and I don't listen if I say you. Why do you want to play your violin... I'm too lazy to care about it." She glared at Dong Zhi, "If you go and practice the piano, go and practice it. You're sneaky, don't do this! It's better to go out to practice than at home. The sound of the piano is so annoying that it hurts my ears."

I thought she would forcibly stop her, but I didn't want to let her go, Dong Zhi was stunned.

Seeing her being stupid, Dong Qin's wife scolded: "It's winter, you don't wear two more pieces to go out. Are you going to freeze to death, right? She is sick and wants me to treat you, so she won't go back to her room to add clothes?"

Dongzhi moved his lips: "I'm not cold..."

"If you want to add it, add it! Wearing clothes will mean so much."

Dongzhi had no choice but to say oh, and went back to his room to add a piece of clothing.

After dressing, Dongzhi came out with a piano case, and suddenly there was a bowl of soup on the table.

Mrs. Dong Qin walked out of the kitchen with the spoon, "Hurry up, sit down and drink this lean meat soup."

"What are you doing for cooking soup..."

"I bought too much pork yesterday." Mrs. Dong Qin didn't raise her head, "I had to make soup for the extra ones to save waste. You can drink it before going out."

Dongzhi felt that she was a little strange today, but she couldn't say it.

Mrs. Dong Qin frowned and urged her: "What are you doing when you stand up? It's better to be cold, right?"

Dongzhi had no choice but to walk to the table and sit down to drink soup.

After drinking a full bowl of lean meat soup, Dongzhi took out the piano box.

When she walked to the main door, she stopped and turned around and said, "Mom, I'm out."

Mrs. Dong Qin didn't look at her, "Go. Come back early."

The gate of the courtyard opened and closed, and then the slightest sound disappeared.

Mrs. Dong Qin brought the bowls on the table into the kitchen, and prepared to wash them later. She picked up the bag of vegetables she bought, took them into a basin, and sat at the door to pick them up.

There was a slight wind blew around, and occasionally there was a slight wind blew.

She picked the vegetable leaves in a brisk manner, and her turbid eyes kept hurting.
