Chapter 50: Watching the door since childhood

Unlike high school, university is usually still a guaranteed two days off a week.

And some majors with fewer classes or juniors and seniors take every day off as long as they have the guts to do so.

Shen Yu is a sophomore this year, he is an outcast and does not socialize much with other students in his class, but from their chats, we know that basically they are either playing games in the dormitory or participating in club activities, a few of them will go to the library, and a few of them will do part-time jobs.

Today, Saturday, Zhao Yage was the first to arrive, and after breakfast, Ke Liangji arrived, and later, Jiang Ningle arrived with his laptop.

For this project, everyone is very conscientious in completing it.

After all, it’s not just about gaining work experience, but also about earning a good part-time income.

“I’m so good with you, you let them be your wife and you don’t even let me!”

Su Zhifu was very angry, she had just followed Shen Yu to deliver breakfast and saw that there was a girl in Shen Yu’s brother’s house and thought he had another wife.

But it wasn’t long before two more girls came along, one of whom was wearing a helmet, so it was hard to see what she looked like, but Su Zhifu could see her long hair.

She counted on her fingers: one for the Rika sister, one for the short-haired sister, and two for the long-haired sister, making four wives for Brother Shen Yu.

“They’re not my wife, neither one of them.” Shen Yu didn’t want to talk to silly little kids, he had to get to work.

Su Zhifu did not believe it and stood right next to him, she was not tall and Shen Yu’s brother was taller than her when he sat down.

“What about me? I can cook for you.” Su Zhifu sensed the opportunity.

“I don’t want to eat rice with mud and leaves.” Shen Yu refused mercilessly.

Even if the food made by Asaba Rika is not good, it is still human food. Su Zhifu’s mud rice, made by using a found can as a pot, grabbing a handful of dirt, throwing a few leaves and adding a glass of water, is only eatable by aliens.

“I don’t want to make it for you either!”

Su Zhifu grunted, “Even if you don’t want me as a wife, I’ll make it for my husband later!”

“Then your husband must be really in love with you.”

“What is true love?”

“Just dare to go eat mud for you.”

As Su Zhifu pondered Shen Yu’s words, her mind went back to a few new male friends in her class who said her watch was particularly nice and said they wanted to be friends with her and exchange gifts with her.

The watch was a gift from Shen Yu’s brother, so of course she couldn’t give it to them, in which case she decided to cook for them to try and befriend whoever dared to eat it.

” Shen Yu , have you guys had breakfast yet?” The helmeted man asked looking at the screen, not being able to turn back, turning back would kill him.

“Eaten.”

“I, I didn’t eat …… either,” Jiang Ningle said.

Shen Yu then suggested, “Then you should go and eat noodles in soup.”

Then he poked Su Zhifu, who was lying on the table jerking off his cat: “Puffs, here comes the business.”

Su Zhifu was bored and immediately perked up when he heard the words and ran to Ke Liangji and asked him, “What do you want to eat, sister?”

“I’m not a sister.”

Ke Liangji wanted to say something, but he was still not afraid of a girl as young as she was.

“Sister, you sound like brother.”

“I’m not a sister, I’m a man.”

“What would you like for breakfast, sister of the man?”

Ke Liangji felt so tired that he wanted to open his helmet and give her a good look, did any sister look as handsome as him.

“What do you have for breakfast at your house?”

“We have BBQ pork noodles, stewed pork noodles, pork ribs noodles, pork feet noodles, noodles with spicy sauce and vegetarian pouring, shrimp noodles, and bean paste buns, milk buns, BBQ pork buns, radish buns and ham buns ……”

“I’ll have the chop suey noodles.”

“Do you want chopped onion, do you want chilli?”

“To.”

Su Zhifu wrote it down and went to Jiang Ningle to ask her again.

As a girl, I couldn’t resist such a cute little girl and tried to touch Puffs’ head, but she dodged it deftly.

Su Zhifu is not silly and no one else is allowed to touch her head except Shen Yu’s brother.

Shen Yu’s brother is the best with her and doesn’t mind her even if she doesn’t grow tall enough, so he can touch her head.

“What would you like to eat, pretty sister?”

Su Zhifu went over the menu again, Jiang Ningle didn’t know how to choose, girls are usually difficult when it comes to choices.

“What do you think is tasty?”

“Milk buns are the best, and then I have baked sweet potatoes at home, do you want them, sister?”

“Mmmmmm, those are the two then.”

Su Zhifu then ran home.

Fifteen minutes later, she returned carefully carrying two breakfasts, with a QR code in her pocket.

“Male sister, your thirteen dollars.”

“Pretty sister, here’s your six.”

After all, Mum only gives her two dollars a day for her pocket money, so if she wants to buy popsicles, she has to save up for two days.

Su Zhifu didn’t like playing with the others, so he stuck to Shen Yu again.

Asaba Rika was working in the back, and I felt so envious of her.

But not Puffs. Shen Yu won’t kick her out, even if she’s chattering away.

Bai Xiaomeng was even worse, sometimes he slept so hard that he pressed himself against Shen Yu’s keyboard before Shen Yu gently lifted him out of the way.

“So they’re not your wives, who are they all?”

“They work for me.”

” Brother Shen Yu are you the boss?”

“Big Boss.”

“Then I’ll work at your place too!”

“What does five plus three equal?”

“Eight!”

“What about eight plus five?”

Su Zhifu thought for a long time, counting on his fingers with both hands, and finally said excitedly, “Ten!”

“Who told you it was equal to ten?”

“After I count my fingers it just equals ten.”

“It’s equal to a bowl of spaghetti ribs, you know?”

Su Zhifu 突然然大悟，原来等于十三啊。

When Shen Yu refused to recruit her to work, Su Zhifu became a little anxious.

“Just let me work, I can do a lot of work, I can help serve food, wipe tables, sweep floors, and burn fires ……”

“It’s not like I run a breakfast place here.”

“Then I can watch the door!”

Shen Yu couldn’t resist her, so he let her watch the door.

Su Zhifu did his duty and watched the door all day. Several times he wanted to leave his post and run in to talk to Shen Yu, but when he said he didn’t know how to do anything, he gambled that he would watch the door instead of looking for him.

……

The streets are crowded with people and the afternoon breeze is cool.

Su Zhifu crouched on the threshold with his hands propped up on his little chin thinking about child birth ……

Only six years old and living in retirement, but it’s better than studying.

If I had a choice, Su Zhifu would definitely choose to watch the door and not read.

Dazed and confused, I had a dream in which there was nothing but a gate.

It was not until everyone had finished their shift that Shen Yu tapped her to wake her up.

“Still sleeping, home for dinner.”

Oops! When did I fall asleep?

Su Zhifu hurriedly wiped the saliva from his mouth and went to open the door, then was shocked to find that the door was gone.

“Huh? Huh! Where’s my door?!”

“You’ve slept like a fool.”

Su Zhifu only then came back to his senses and looked around him, also realising that he was no longer at the front door but asleep on the sofa in the hall on the ground floor, not knowing how long he had been asleep and how he had flown in.

“If I hadn’t carried you in, you would have been abducted by a roadside trafficker and sold into a ravine.”

Shen Yu speaks, opening a drawer and rummaging for something.

“I didn’t even watch the door ……”

Su Zhifu is a bit sad, he feels that there is no hope for his child, not only can he not count beyond ten, but he can’t even see the door properly.

“You’ve learned the true meaning of gatekeeping, good work today, come and get your pay.” Shen Yu greeted her.

Su Zhifu pursed her lips in resignation, thinking, “Is the real meaning of looking at the gate just to sleep?

But when she heard that Shen Yu’s brother was going to pay her, she ran over to him.

“Five bucks and more to come.”

Shen Yu handed over the salary to Su Zhifu, and Puffs, who had lost his energy, was immediately energised.

“Uh-huh! Shen Yu brother, so am I still working tomorrow?”

“Half day on, we have the afternoon off from the studio, don’t be late.”

Su Zhifu took the five dollars and ran away contentedly.

Asaba Rika is upstairs preparing dinner and Zhao Yage has gone home, leaving Shen Yu alone on the ground floor.

What he didn’t expect was that Su Zhifu, who had run away with the five dollars, came back within three minutes with two green bean ice-creams in his hand.

She licked one for herself and took the other to Shen Yu.

“I’m making money and buying you ice cream!”

“Why don’t you buy a better one for yourself?”

“I want to eat with you.”

A small and large figure crouched together on the threshold eating ice-cream at sunset.
