Chapter 3: Big Fists Make the Difference

When they returned to "Big Foot", Sister Xiu was just getting off work. Just as she took the lunch box, Abao from the front desk came to call her back on time. Sister Xiu hurriedly ate a few bites and asked Jiang Yu to pour it away.

I washed the lunch box, put it in Sister Xiu’s locker, and waited for my turn.

There are two ways to get on the clock: hourly and shift-based. Hourly is just what it means, and there will be an extra three yuan for the hourly fee. Shift-based means you use a number plate to queue up for the clock.

Sister Xiu works on a 60-minute basis, and she and her boss split the profits in a 40-60 ratio.

It's nine o'clock.

The guest was a shy young man. He said nothing, asked no questions, and kept his lips tightly pursed.

Jiang Yu reduced his strength and tried to find the strength that the customer could accept.

After the foot massage, the young customer finally asked, "Can I have a massage?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

After pouring some water and washing his hands, Jiang Yu came over to lead the guests to the third floor.

There are no empty private rooms, but there are empty beds.

Jiang Yu asked the young guest if it was okay.
The young guest nodded stiffly.

Sister Cai asked Jiang Yu in a low voice if this was the first time the guest came.

Jiang Yu: "..."

How did she know? She didn't ask the customer.

"Any idea?"

Sister Cai shook her head. "Nothing special, just don't accept his tip."

Jiang Yu nodded, as long as she was not asked to give a tip.

The massage was still not effective, and when pressing the Jimai acupoint on the leg, the young customer's face turned red.

Jiang Yu thought that this guest must be here for the first time.

The last calf fold and press is actually very easy to press and is suitable for people with long tendons.

"The massage is over. I'm off duty now. Please do as you please."

Jiang Yu was about to leave the room when the young customer asked, "Should I leave a tip?"

"No, guests can tip as they please. There is no mandatory rule."

Jiang Yu washed her hands and came out, and met a young guest at the stairs on the second floor. She walked past the guest and quickly went downstairs.

At the front desk on the first floor, many technicians were signing out.

Jiang Yu, a new technician, was able to work eight hours on his first day, all because today was Saturday.

"Abao, one foot massage and one massage." Jiang Yu said to Abao at the front desk, and then stood at the end of the line waiting to sign out.

"Ayu, give me the key." Sister Xiu called Jiang Yu at the door of the waiting room.

Jiang Yu threw the key to her from above the crowd, "My handbag is in your locker, take it out together."

After signing the check-out order, Sister Xiu also took out a handbag for both of them. Jiang Yu took off her mask and glasses and put them into the handbag.
"Let's go, I'm starving. I'll treat Sister Xiu to a midnight snack today."

These three days, I relied entirely on Sister Xiu.

After Sister Xiu learned about her family's situation, she not only bought her some cold medicine, but also asked her to cook some millet porridge to take back home. Her grandfather and brother are now much better.

"Okay!"

Zheng Xiu was very happy, "I heard that you got a lot of tips today."

"Giggle..."

Jiang Yu's laughter was as loud as a bell. "Sister Xiu is still well-informed."

The two of them walked out the door while talking.

The night snack stall is doing so hot that they can only offer take-away orders.

Grilled river fish, chicken wings, lamb skewers, grilled green peppers, eggplant, corn, Yangzhou fried rice, and fried rice noodles.

If Zheng Xiu hadn't stopped him, Jiang Yu would have continued buying.

Zheng Xiu lives in the community opposite "Big Foot", a six-story resettlement building without an elevator, which she rents.

Room 502, Unit , Building , has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and one storage room.

The entrance hall is right after you open the door, and to the east of the entrance hall are the kitchen and bathroom.

The north wall of the entrance hall is the wall of the master bedroom. The door of the master bedroom faces west, facing the living room.

The living room has a three-seater leather sofa and a big-ass color TV.

To the west of the living room is the second bedroom, and to the south of the second bedroom is a narrow storage room.

There is a floor-to-ceiling window on the south wall of the storage room, and outside the window is a large balcony.

Jiang Yu washed his hands several times before he started eating. Zheng Xiu had already started eating. "How much did you get in tips today? A midnight snack cost nearly a hundred yuan."

Jiang Yu was chewing on a grilled chicken wing and using his fingers to show her how to do it.

Zheng Xiu almost dropped the kebab in his hand, "1800?"

Jiang Yu nodded while eating. She was so hungry. She had used up all her strength from massaging and massaging the truck driver. The food in the cafeteria was all vegetables, with hardly any meat.

Zheng Xiu asked again, "Were they all given by the big truck?"

This is what the technicians call truck drivers in private.

"Not at all."

Jiang Yu spat out the bone. "Lao Jin gave me 1200. He said he would pay me back next time I come. Can you ask the boss to give me some meat? I'm very hungry."

"Add! Definitely."

Zheng Xiu grinned. The little girl made her proud. "If you can take down Lao Jin, you will be famous in this industry."

Being famous is good, being famous is what Jiang Yu wants. "He gave me another 700 and asked me to pay the bill. I gave 100 to Sister Cai, went to the front desk to pay the bill and gave the remaining 20 to Abao.

Sister Xiu, gold is 80 yuan per gram. I earned six cents of gold today. It’s so easy to make money here.

Tomorrow, I will go buy some silver and go back to pay my debts. After I get paid, I will build a big house.”

“The road must be taken step by step.”

Zheng Xiu said earnestly, "You've been missing for only a few days, and you're already paying off your debts and building a big house. Your pots and stoves, haven't they been snatched away by others?"

Zheng Xiu wanted to laugh when she thought of this silly girl saying that she would come over after she lifted the pot.

"All right!"

Jiang Yu listened to the advice and said, "Listen to Sister Xiu, but I want to buy a lot tomorrow..."

Under Zheng Xiu's gaze, Jiang Yu quickly changed a word, "Very few Xiaomi returned."

Zheng Xiu was very satisfied, "You have to learn to be tactful. A big fist is a tough truth, but what if you meet someone with a bigger fist than you?"

Jiang Yu looked down at his fist. It was not big.

Jiang Yu had eaten up the rest of the midnight snack. She went to the kitchen to cook millet porridge, but there was no millet.

Zheng Xiu took out some noodles and eggs, "Cook these, your grandfather and your brother should be able to eat them."

"Thank you, Sister Xiu."

Zheng Xiu waved her hand, "Remember to bring me some vegetables."

She really liked the real green vegetables that Jiang Yu brought.

"Hey hey hey."

Hearing Jiang Yu's silly smile, Zheng Xiu's eyebrows jumped, "You didn't steal it, did you?"

"I have money now, so I won't steal anymore."

Zheng Xiu: "..."

Carrying the tray, Jiang Yu disappeared in front of Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu searched around but caught nothing. For three days, she always suspected that she was dreaming.

But the dream is so real.

……

Nanhai County, Nanshan Village, in a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the village.

There was a flash of light in the kitchen, and Jiang Yu appeared holding a tray. She strode out of the kitchen and into the main house.

It is noon here, which is six hours later than the present time.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

There was a cough in the east room. Jiang Yu put down the tray and ran in. "Grandpa, you're not well yet? Are you out of medicine?"

"OK OK."

Grandpa Jiang lifted the patched quilt and sat up. The clothes on his body were not much less patched than the quilt.

He gave his granddaughter who ran in anxiously a kind smile, and the smile made his thin face even more wrinkled.

His granddaughter entered a mysterious world and met a kind-hearted woman who took her in and bought her medicine and food. How could he have the nerve to continue to burden the kind-hearted woman?

His health has improved and he will be fine in a few days.

Jiang Yu supported Grandpa and walked to the main room, "Where's Xiao Jin?"

"I'm going out to play. I should be back soon."
