Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Waiter

After hurrying along the way, by the time they finally arrived at the bookstore, the sky was already bright.

As Liu Sisi entered the store, she happened to see Nan Tianzong standing with his back to her, at the row of shelves near the door, carefully dusting the shelves with a feather duster.

The sunlight fell on him, bathing him in a golden radiance.

His black hair was tied up at the top of his head by a dark blue square headscarf, and a light green long shirt revealed his slender, tall figure.

Even when doing the simplest cleaning, his back still looked so pleasing to the eye, giving a sense of transcendence from the mundane, making it hard to desecrate.

As if sensing Liu Sisi’s gaze, he casually turned his head.

The deep, mysterious black eyes glanced over, under the straight bridge of his nose, a shallow smile blooming on his thin lips.

“Huh! Miss from the Liu Family? I really didn’t expect that you would actually come.”

The deep, magnetic voice came from his thin lips, sounding heavenly.

A hint of surprise also flashed through his eyes!

“Good morning, Mr. Nan. You can call me Little Four.”

Liu Sisi walked into the store, taking a few steps forward: “Since I agreed to help you in your store that day, Little Four keeps her word. Here I am, having tidied up beforehand and come over early.”

No wonder Liu Sisi said so, as she was now wearing a very simple set of menswear. She removed the handkerchief originally wrapped around her head, tied her long hair directly on the top of her head, and made a bun in the style of a scholar, casually tied up with a hairband, revealing a clean forehead.

The whole person looked clean and refreshing, making her seem even more ethereal, leaving him entranced, unable to take his eyes off her.

Standing firmly in place, Liu Sisi looked at him with a smile: “Boss, how about letting Little Four do this cleaning work?”

As she spoke, she reached for the feather duster in his hand and quickly started cleaning the store.

“Little Four?” Nan Tianzong raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Yes, Little Four refers to my ranking in my family.”

Liu Sisi spoke casually, Liu Sisi, Liu Si, after all, they sound similar too.

“I just mentioned it casually that day. How could I really ask you to be a waiter? This is too…”

The smile on Nan Tianzong’s face was almost bursting.

Every time he saw her, he felt a deep sense of helplessness rising from his heart. He couldn’t help but think of the deworming pill he had swallowed back then…

Thinking of this, his facial muscles twitched involuntarily, almost breaking his handsome face.

“Of course! Although Little Four is not as good as others, since I promised you, I will keep my word. Boss, please step aside so Little Four can clean.”

As she spoke, she intentionally dusted off the high-level dust, forcing Nan Tianzong to instinctively retreat a few steps.

“Alright! But think carefully! If something goes missing in the store, you’ll be the one I ask!” After saying that, he directly flicked his sleeve and walked into the counter. A feeling of inexplicable righteousness was rising in his heart.

“Of course, thank you, Boss, for giving Little Four this opportunity!”

Liu Sisi happily replied!

Great!

Finally passed the first hurdle!

Looking at so many books in front of her, Liu Sisi inexplicably felt that her whole body was filled with fighting spirit!

She carefully organized the messy books and papers, forcibly restraining the desire to open and read them and arranged them one by one.

Even without looking up, she knew that his gaze was closely following her, secretly criticizing her.

Could it be that he’s unhappy with how clean she’s made the space?

That’s too nitpicky!

As her cleaning work ended, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and more people came into the store to buy various items.

Most of the people coming and going in the store were students, buying more paper products and fewer books.

Since this was Liu Sisi’s first day at work, she naturally wasn’t certain about the prices and had to turn back to ask Nan Tianzong about them, causing his eyebrows to furrow even tighter.

However, Liu Sisi’s memory was excellent, and once he told her a price, she would remember it firmly.

In just one morning, she had a rough grasp of the prices of the items in the store.

Plus, she had a sweet mouth and a pleasing voice.

Even though she dressed as a man, the feminine figure couldn’t fool the eyes of so many students!

Such an attractive beauty not only made the students too embarrassed to haggle, but also gave her some tips before they left.

This made Liu Sisi’s smile even sweeter!

By the end of the morning, Nan Tianzong, the shopkeeper, sat behind the counter, either following her cleaning with a book in hand or quickly writing something on the paper with a brush-pen.

As it approached noontime and there were fewer people, Liu Sisi deliberately came to the spot close to him while cleaning and purposely stretched her neck to take a peek, only to laugh involuntarily!

He was actually writing the Three Character Classic!

How could she not be surprised that such a refined young master was writing the Three Character Classic!

Nan Tianzong originally liked tranquility, so he hated the influx of many students buying things in the store on market days, which disrupted his work. That’s why he decided to hire a waiter to help manage the store’s business.

Unexpectedly, he ended up hiring Liu Sisi as a waiter. Although she was pleasant to look at, she completely disrupted his ability to concentrate on his work. It was a complete reversal!

That clueless little woman just kept sauntering around in front of his eyes, how could he not be bothered?

“Laughing? What’s so funny? What are you laughing at?” Nan Tianzong put down his pen.

Unable to calm down, he simply stopped writing!

Liu Sisi looked at him with some surprise but still continued the conversation: “Nothing! I just saw you at your age, still practicing writing the Three Character Classic, so I found it amusing.”

After being teased like this, Nan Tianzong’s face turned red, and the smile on his face almost couldn’t hold back as he yelled defensively, “What do you know? I’m copying books! Don’t you understand? If I don’t copy the books, how do you think all these books in my store come from? Am I supposed to buy them directly? Won’t that make me lose money? Huh! You can actually read?”

Nan Tianzong was greatly surprised!

No wonder he was surprised; in that era, generally only the daughters of wealthy families would have a teaching nanny arrange for a female tutor to teach them manners and writing. Ordinary farm families couldn’t even afford food, let alone learn to read! That was simply dreaming!

Examining Liu Sisi up and down, Nan Tianzong couldn’t figure out how she knew-how surprising!

Although Liu Sisi was naturally beautiful and full of a spiritual aura, her dressing did not resemble a noble daughter from a wealthy and fortunate family.

Moreover, her slick business sense didn’t have even a touch of the noble miss’s arrogance.
