[R18] Ruanxiang (1v1)h – “Ruanxiang (1v1)h” can’t cry [English]

Grandma was washing clothes at the door of her house. When she saw Chen Xiang walking home with her head lowered, she wiped her hands on the dirty clothes, stood up and walked towards her, “How are you, Yangyang?”

“Okay.” Chen Xiang cried last night and her eyes were swollen. She was worried about being discovered by her grandma, so she kept looking down at her.

Grandma also had bad eyesight. After hearing what she said, she felt relieved and smiled broadly, “Has he lost weight? He must eat well so that he can have strength.”

“Yeah.” Chen Xiang put down her bag and came over to wash her clothes.

Grandma asked her again, “Are you not going to work today?”

“I’m not going.” Chen Xiang worked as a cashier in a supermarket in the town. On the way here, she asked her boss for leave. In the afternoon, she went to work the night shift.

After she washed her clothes, she went to cook again. Her grandma helped light the fire. Her family was poor, but she still lives in a tile-roofed house and relied on the fire to cook.

Grandma would go around every day to pick up branches and rags to sell. When Chen Xiang came back from get off work, she would also pick up rags, bottles, cardboard, and anything that could be reused. She would pick it up.

When peers outside see Chen Xiang, they will laugh at her and say, “Here comes the rag picker. Do you have anything to share with her?”

Chen Xiang used to hide in bed secretly and shed tears, but for the sake of her grandma and younger brother, she felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it.

My parents work outside and can only send back very little money in a year. They were defrauded by a pyramid scheme before and were in debt. Now they are frugal and have tens of thousands left to pay off. They only come back during the Chinese New Year. Chen Xiang is very satisfied to be able to buy new clothes for Chen Xiang and his brother.

Lunch is white flour steamed buns with shredded green peppers and potatoes. The steamed buns are made by herself, and the potatoes and green peppers are grown by herself. She has planted vegetables in the vegetable garden, and also raised four hens and a rooster. She can lay four or five eggs a day, and after ten days of saving, she can sell them in the town.

After she finished eating, she went to the vegetable garden and pulled out a radish, sliced ​​it, mixed it with soy sauce and vinegar, and sent it to her grandma. She likes to eat cold radish.

The water in the pot was boiling. Chen Xiang brought the kettle and filled it one by one. Seeing that there was still some left in the pot, she took a quick shower, washed the dirty clothes and hung them to dry. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost four o’clock in the afternoon.

The bicycle was picked up by her grandma. The chain was broken and the handlebars were crooked. Chen Xiang bought a new chain and replaced it with the handlebars. She also straightened the handlebars. She was reluctant to sell it, so she used it for her own riding.

It was only a twenty-minute drive from the countryside to the town. It was early June and the weather was extremely hot. Chen Xiang was sweating when she arrived at the supermarket door. She took off her hat and wiped the sweat on her face.

The girl who changed shifts with her was named Wang Zhaodi. She was from the town and her family conditions were better than Chen Xiang. When she saw Chen Xiang coming in covered in sweat, she covered her nose and said, “Oh my god, what does it smell like on you?”

Chen Xiang froze in place in embarrassment, her nose moved, and she smelled a little sweat on her body, her face began to burn, and other cashiers around her laughed.

There were not many customers in the supermarket at this time, and the checkout area was very idle. When Wang Zhaodi came out, she deliberately laughed loudly, pointed at Chen Xiang’s back and said, “Hahaha, Chen Xiang, there is a hole in the back of your clothes.”

Others came over one after another and stared at him, smiling strangely.

Chen Xiang walked straight to the cashier area, found a red work uniform and put it on. She lowered her head and said nothing, only the words of her younger brother Chen Yang came to mind.

——”Sister, I will make a lot of money in the future and no one will look down on us anymore.”

She raised her face, pushed back the heat in her eyes, smiled at the customers who came to check out, and started to scan the code with the QR code scanner to check out.

she can’t cry.

She still has to make money to buy team uniforms for her brother, so she can’t cry.

She bit her lip, forced a smile, and said to the customers who had paid, “Welcome to visit next time.”
