Dating After Divorce - Chapter 56
Learn to make dumplings and open your own shop——
This is the life Ning Rou never imagined.
There was a cool breeze floating in the air.
She was sitting on the bed, holding her clothes in her arms, her long black hair falling down her cheeks, her complexion pale.
A pair of bright gray eyes were filled with surprise.
She was really thinking about Luo Zhen’s words.
However, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became.
After all, the capital cost required to open a store is too great, and it is impossible for a Tangshui shop master to teach a stranger to make dumplings for free.
Luo Zhen stood beside the curtain, his whole body was shrouded in gray shadows, his body was blurred, but his voice was exceptionally clear.
“Don’t rush to make a decision.”
“I’ll go to the store later, you can ask them first, whether they will recruit apprentices.”
“If you want to recruit, then consider whether to follow the master to learn the craft.”
Ning Rou is not a confident person.
But Luo Zhen can always give her confidence.
She raised her eyes, looked at the woman under the curtain, her soft lips moved slightly, and after a few seconds, she said the entanglement in her heart.
“However, if you are an apprentice to learn a craft, you usually don’t get paid, and you have to pay the master.”
It’s good to be able to learn the craft, but she still has to support her family, and she spent most of her small savings today.
At this time, if you want to learn to make glutinous rice balls, you can only quit the job in the tea restaurant.
In this way, the only source of income is the 2,000 yuan that the bar distributes every month.
Not to mention paying the rent for meals, even paying the tuition fee to see a doctor and buy medicine for the baby is not enough.
Where can there be any extra money to pay tuition fees to the master?
Luo Zhen heard the worry in this sentence, and walked towards the bed. Soon, he came to Ning Rou and loosened his lips to persuade again.
“Tuition, you don’t need to worry about it, I can pay for you first, and you can pay it back to me when you earn money later.”
“I know you don’t want to accept my help for nothing, but the point of the question now is not whether you want it or not, but whether you need it or not.”
“Do you really plan to work in a tea restaurant for the rest of your life? How many years can your body last for high-intensity physical work? When the baby goes to high school or university, how can the salary there cover her tuition and fees? Medical bills?”
“If you can learn a craft, open your own shop, and run it well, at least you can guarantee a stable income.”
“Whether it’s for her or for yourself, it’s time to plan for the future now, what do you think?”
Well-meaning words, unconsciously, cause people’s thoughts to fall into it.
Ning Rou lowered her eyes, all her attention was focused on the last sentence.
‘Planning for the future’.
In fact, she rarely thinks about the future.
Because the word “future” is too extravagant.
And something too extravagant, she never dared to even think about it—
For example, freedom; another example is Luo Zhen.
Her heart is messed up.
Just when she didn’t know how to make a decision, a cold hand silently landed on her cheek, gently touching it like a breeze.
She raised her head and saw Luo Zhen’s face, as well as Luo Zhen’s fingertips, and the voice ringing in her ears was still Luo Zhen.
At this moment, in her world, only Luo Zhen was alone——
“Don’t be embarrassed, don’t worry, and don’t take everything by yourself.”
“If you can’t get an idea, you can tell me and let’s discuss it together, okay?”
Let’s discuss together, right now?
Ning Rou pursed her lips, her heart beating faster.
For no reason, she felt that she and Luo Zhen were like a family.
Even more intimate than five years ago.
Luo Zhen’s expression is so serious; Luo Zhen’s tone is so gentle; every word of Luo Zhen is for her and the baby.
She couldn’t refuse, and there was no reason to refuse.
Ignoring the red heat gushing out of her cheeks, she nodded and replied with a soft ‘um’.
The voice was low, but Luo Zhen still heard it.
It was only then that she released her fingertips from the slightly warm soft cheeks, and smiled with her lips hooked.
“Okay, don’t regret it.”
“I’m going to the bathroom to change clothes.”
“Wait out, we’ll pick up the baby.”
More and more like a family of three.
Ning Rou lowered her head and said “um” again.
She didn’t dare to look at Luo Zhen, and when she saw the two long, slender legs disappeared, she let go of the clothes in her hand and hurriedly changed her nightgown.
The two talked, and there was a delay of a few minutes.
By the time I got to kindergarten, it was already 5:40.
It has only been ten minutes since school ended. In the past, Ning Baobao, who always sat alone in the corner, stood beside the iron gate early today, just like the other children.
My aunt is back, and my mother gets off work late. Will my aunt come to pick me up like before?
She couldn’t help but hope in her heart, but she felt that she was getting more and more greedy.
The two little hands were on the railing, and a pair of round almond eyes stared at the road, for fear of missing my aunt’s car.
A few parents who arrived early picked up their children one after another.
Hearing the names of other children ringing in his ears, Ning Baobao unconsciously bit his lip.
She wanted to wait, but she was afraid that her hope would be lost. It was at the time of the tangle, not far from the long street, and finally a familiar car drove by.
She recognized the numbers, and immediately recognized the license plate number, which was her aunt’s car.
Before the people in the car got out of the car, she pursed her lips and began to smile.
She thought that only her aunt came alone, but she didn’t expect that the car door opened and two women came down one after another.
One is my aunt and the other is my mother.
Mom is here too.
Mom and aunt, come to pick me up together.
Children are always easy to satisfy.
Ning Baobao stood in the middle of a group of children, with a bright and dazzling smile on his face.
Ning Rou stood at the bottom of the steps and waved to her daughter with a smile.
Soon, Ning Baobao’s lips moved, and looking at the shape of his lips, he should be calling ‘Mom’.
The little tacit understanding between the mother and daughter is touching.
Luo Zhen’s heart softened, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Before he could react, he saw Ning Baobao in the high bar, biting his lips and showing a shy smile to himself.
It was as if she had completely integrated into the life of Ning and Ning Bao.
Ning Renning and Ning Baobao were also completely integrated into her life.
It was a perfect afternoon for all three.
Back in the car, the smile in Ning Baobao’s eyes still did not dissipate.
She is still sitting between her mother and aunt, holding her mother in the left hand and her aunt in the right.
Even when he got out of the car, he didn’t let go of his hand, preferring to walk on the ground by himself rather than being held by others.
“I want my mother and aunt to hold me together~”
This is not an excessive requirement.
Ning Rou didn’t force it any more, she could only let her go.
The place to eat is still the last night market.
It’s only six o’clock, and it’s not completely dark yet, but many stalls have already started business.
The business I ate at last time was still deserted, and there were no customers.
Without exception, Luo Zhen still chose here.
After eating, the three of them went to the mall for a walk, and waited until seven o’clock before getting in the car and leaving.
Baby Ning is very happy.
She thought she was going to go home after dinner, but she didn’t know until she got in the car that she was going to the Tangshui shop next. After going to the Tangshui shop, she could go to work with her mother tonight with her aunt.
Happiness is like a dream.
She couldn’t believe it.
Luo Zhen saw her reaction and couldn’t help smiling.
“If you want, your aunt will take you to work with your mother every day from now on, okay?”
This request is so appealing.
Ning Baobao wanted to nod subconsciously, but was afraid that doing so would affect her mother’s work. After hesitating for a while, she turned her head to look at Ning Rou, and asked a serious question.
“Mom, is it okay?”
Such an obedient voice was completely different from Luo Zhen’s gentleness, but it also made Ning Rou unable to refuse.
Especially when Luo Zhen was looking at himself.
Not being able to say ‘no’ means agreeing.
Anyway, there is an independent and complete rest room in the wine cellar, which not only has a bed, but also a full set of daily utensils.
Ning Baobao is a little sleepy, so she can go to the bed in the room to sleep.
She nodded and reached out to touch her daughter’s hair.
A short while later, under the gaze of the woman beside him, he gave a soft answer.
“Can.”
“But when mom is working, remember to listen to your auntie, you know?”
Seeing that Ning Rou agreed, Ning Baobao smiled and nodded.
Before the person could answer, he climbed onto Ning Rou’s knee, hugged Ning Rou’s neck, and kissed Ning Rou’s face. Then, he got into Luo Zhen’s arms and kissed Luo Zhen intimately and naturally. A real bite.
I kissed my mother first, then my aunt.
There is nothing more satisfying than this.
“Be good, baby, listen to auntie’s words.”
Luo Zhen looked at the little girl leaning in his arms, his eyes were very gentle.
It’s just that the name ‘auntie’ obviously can’t satisfy her anymore.
Tangshui Shop seems to be open 24 hours a day.
In Ning Rou’s impression, no matter when, this store is always open and never closed.
Sometimes it’s noon, most of the time it’s night.
Every time she came, she would leave with a freshly made dumpling.
Thinking of the tempting taste of glutinous rice balls, her throat moved slightly unconsciously.
Do you really have the opportunity to learn the craft from the master in the store?
She didn’t dare to think about it.
It was not until Luo Zhen and Ning Baobao entered the store one after another that she raised her leg in hesitation and walked in.
Even though she had been here many times, even the clerk in the store recognized her, but she was still flustered.
Just like that, a person stood in the center of the small shop, watching Luo Zhen finish ordering a sugar water, and then returned to his seat.
Jiang Rong went to the back kitchen to get food, and there were only three of them in the front hall.
Luo Zhen knew that Ning Rou was nervous, and she knew what she was nervous about.
Before Jiang Rong came out, she walked over and comforted a few words.
“Don’t be afraid, just ask.”
“If you ask, come over and drink sugar water.”
“My baby and I are waiting for you.”
Words of encouragement rang out from his ears.
Ning Rou pursed her lips and slightly stretched her frown.
She was about to respond when Jiang Rong, who was wearing a staff uniform, just came out from behind with sugar water.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen also returned to his seat.
After a while, she was the only one left in the center of the shop.
Jiang Rong stood in front of the counter, wondering why Ning Rou didn’t drink the sugar water, and the phone screen on the desktop instantly lit up.
It was a text message from Luo Zhen just now.
She raised her eyes and looked at the woman in the seat subconsciously, but only saw the warm scene of the other party feeding Baby Ning with a spoon.
She immediately looked back.
She lowered her head, tapped her fingertips on the screen, and finally saw the content of the text message—
[Chu family’s project, you go back to Haishi to follow up. As for this, change Secretary Song over here. 】
In just two lines, Jiang Rong was so surprised that she could barely hold her phone.
If you read it right, Luo Zhen promoted her in disguise.
She was thinking about how to reply when Ning Rou happened to come to the counter.
He stood for a long time without speaking.
Jiang Rong put the phone aside, vaguely guessing that the text message Luo Zhen just sent was related to Ning Rou.
“Sister Xiaoning, do you have anything to say?”
Ning Rou often comes to spend, and it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two is familiar.
Hearing this cordial address, Ning Rou’s nervousness dissipated a little.
She bit her lip, her face was a little red, and after a while, she finally asked what was in her heart.
“Little Jiang, do your shop, your shop, still recruit apprentices?”
Jiang Rong was still smart, and in just one second, she realized the true meaning of Luo Zhen’s text message.
She nodded, as suggested in the text message, and responded with a smile—
“Go for it~”
“I have something to do at home, and I won’t do it here the day after tomorrow. The master said that the store will recruit people for help in the next two days.”
“Besides, it’s recruiting two~”
The author has something to say: Jiang Rong: Secretary Song is here! Come and accompany the president’s wife as an apprentice! Promotion and salary increase, marrying Bai Fumei and embarking on the peak of life are just around the corner!
