Chapter 477: The essence of spirit creatures

Due to An Youyou's novel—no, it's a resume—having too much nonsense and not very good writing, we won't describe it in detail here. Qin Huai spent more than 20 minutes roughly reading it once, and it could be seen that An Youyou had tried her best.

Qin Huai asked An Youyou to write her resume starting from her life experience, educational background, and hobbies. An Youyou did exactly as she was told, fearing that Qin Huai would feel her resume wasn't sincere enough. An Youyou even wrote about how she and her grandmother set up a stall to sell pears in the market when she was a child, stole and ate 6 pears while setting up the stall for a day, and was so full that she kept hiccuping, but couldn't eat a single piece of braised pork cooked at home in the evening, and was sad for a week. Since then, she would think of the braised pork she didn't eat whenever she saw pears, and she still didn't like eating pears to this day.

An Youyou used a full 13 lines of text to describe her sad mood of losing the braised pork because of 6 pears, and it could be seen that she was indeed very sad.

The whole resume was composed of small things like this. An Youyou followed the chronological order and wrote everything she could remember from childhood to adulthood that she felt met Qin Huai's requirements and could show more of her true self into the resume. The text was very wordy, a bit like a running account, and there were no excessive decorative words because her culture was limited, but it was very real.

It was so real that after Qin Huai finished reading this resume of 29 pages, he especially wanted to brush proficiency quickly, make the three A+ grade snacks that could trigger buffs, and see An Youyou's dream to wake her up quickly.

An Youyou was a left-behind child before she was four years old, and it was even worse than being a left-behind child after she was four.

Before she was four, An Youyou's parents worked outside and left An Youyou to her grandmother to take care of. Besides taking care of An Youyou, An Youyou's grandmother also had to take care of eight grandsons, granddaughters, grandsons-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law. Nine grandchildren of different ages, whether noisy or quiet, obedient or rebellious, exhausted the old lady's patience. In An Youyou's description, her grandmother wasn't kind-faced, nor gentle; she was an old lady with a loud voice, who spoke fiercely and was very good at scaring children.

The old lady's secret recipe for loving to take care of children was to make them afraid by scaring them so that they would be obedient. Therefore, the old lady was best at scolding loudly and telling ghost stories to children at night.

Ordinary children, before going to school, would definitely be scared to cry, grabbing their quilts and falling asleep nervously if they were scared by elders at home telling ghost stories every day, saying that they would be caught and eaten by ghosts outside if they didn't sleep at night.

But An Youyou wasn't. An Youyou used very cheerful text to briefly describe a few ghost stories she remembered deeply, and praised her grandmother as a person who was very good at telling ghost stories, and the ghost stories she told could scare all the children in the village to cry.

Besides being good at telling ghost stories, An Youyou's grandmother was also very good at directing children to do various things. In the old lady's philosophy, children would cause trouble if they were idle, so just don't let them be idle if you want them not to cause trouble.

In the countryside, there are many things children can do, even if the child is only three or four years old. Sweeping the floor, taking out the trash, picking vegetables, picking up firewood, weeding in the vegetable field, running errands to deliver things...

This kind of story, which is enough for a small blogger to start a number with "my miserable original family," was, in An Youyou's narrative, her grandmother having foresight and having long ago anticipated that her parents would come back to open a breakfast shop in the town, and had long ago cultivated her ability to work.

After she was four, An Youyou moved to the town. An Youyou admitted in her resume that she wasn't very familiar with her parents when she was four, and she wasn't very familiar with them even now.

She knew her parents didn't like her that much, and they didn't even like her as much as her grandmother did, and she also knew her parents liked her younger brother more. In An Youyou's resume, she had no complaints, no reflection, no internal friction, and no entanglement about all this; she felt it was a very natural thing.

Her parents didn't like her that much, and correspondingly, she didn't like her parents much either. She didn't work hard when she was studying, so her academic performance was very bad. Her father liked to cut corners on the raw materials of buns, so even though the craftsmanship was okay, the business of their family's breakfast shop was just average.

In An Youyou's worldview, there is nothing that should be possessed by nature. If you have it, you have it; if you don't, you don't. It's not shameful to want things you don't have. If you don't have them now, just earn money well, and you will definitely have them in the future.

She finished elementary and junior high school in the town. After completing the nine-year compulsory education, because her grades were very bad, her parents didn't want to spend extra money to let her go to high school, so she helped in the family's breakfast shop after graduating from junior high school.

Her younger brother finished elementary and junior high school in the city and successfully got into high school, using the tuition and living expenses from the buns she and her parents sold. Sometimes, customers in the breakfast shop would cast sympathetic glances at her, muttering in a low voice that this family was truly patriarchal, with the younger brother studying in the city and the elder sister coming out to work at such a young age.

But An Youyou wrote in her resume that she felt it was very reasonable. Her younger brother had good grades, so he must study if he got into high school. Her grades were very bad, so it was the same whether she studied or not. Her parents didn't treat everyone equally, but so what? That was her parents' problem. Did she have to use the time she originally didn't have much of to watch TV series on pirated websites to be angry and sad because her parents didn't love her enough?

Besides, it wasn't the first day she knew her parents didn't love her enough; she knew it before she was four.

An Youyou wouldn't be bound by other people's eyes and words, nor would she be influenced by anyone's mood, judgment, and goals. When she helped in the family's breakfast shop, at first, An Youyou's parents didn't even want to give her 200 yuan, feeling that she wasn't an adult yet, and what money did she need to spend when helping in her own shop and eating and living at home.

An Youyou disagreed, feeling that there should be a return if there was a contribution. Because she hadn't had much money in her pocket since she was a child and hadn't seen much of the world, she finally asked for a salary of 200 yuan with a small lion's mouth. To this day, An Youyou regretted asking for too little.

If she had known, she would have asked for 1200 a month! The dishwasher in the restaurant in their town had 1400 yuan a month, and the dishwasher also included food and housing.

An Youyou's decision to work outside also encountered many obstructions. Relatives, friends, neighbors, and elders told her that it was very dangerous for a girl like her to work outside, and that she hadn't read many books, so companies in big cities wouldn't want her.

Compared to working outside the province, it was safer in the nearby county. Just enter a factory and work well, and you could have 3000 yuan a month.

An Youyou didn't want to have only 3000 yuan a month. She had already played with her phone for several years by then, had seen the world on her phone, and wanted more things than before. A monthly salary of 3000 couldn't satisfy her dreams at all.

As for why she finally came to Shancheng to work, it was because An Youyou grabbed a special ticket to Shancheng for 99 yuan on the internet. Upholding the idea that it was the same wherever she worked, cheap travel expenses were the hard truth, and she wanted to experience going out of the province by plane since she hadn't taken one, the 18-year-old An Youyou came to Shancheng with her luggage.

And then the first resume was submitted to the Cloud Canteen.

In the 29-page resume, a full 18 pages were describing life after coming to the Cloud Canteen.

Before Qin Huai knew or cared, An Youyou went to the mall for the first time, ate in the mall for the first time, ate Korean food for the first time, ate sushi for the first time, and entered a beauty salon for the first time to experience a small bubble package for 9.9 yuan.

She moved many times, and the rented houses were more expensive each time. There were still many so-called friends and elders around her who advised her, advising her not to spend money so extravagantly, advising her to save some money, advising her not to live in such an expensive house to save a little, and advising her not to buy a tablet when a mobile phone was enough.

An Youyou didn't listen to a word from anyone, still happily spending her own money and diligently earning her own overtime pay.

An Youyou went home for the New Year this year, and didn't carry a bunch of things home like the heroine of a cool novel who had made a fortune and went home to slap the faces of poor relatives, nor did she return home in glory as filmed in short videos. An Youyou said that she hadn't made a fortune, didn't have money, and couldn't bear to buy things for her parents and younger brother who didn't have a good relationship with her.

And her parents weren't like the extreme relatives in novels who put on a sour and mean villain face. An Youyou finished the whole New Year normally this year, just like every New Year before.

At the end of the resume, An Youyou summarized all her experiences. Her parents didn't love her that much, but they didn't hate her either. Her family didn't value daughters, but it wasn't to the point of being patriarchal. Her family didn't have much money, but it wasn't that poor either. Her current job could support herself, but with her way of spending money, she could only support herself.

She had too many things she wanted, and too many things she wanted but couldn't get. She knew there were many things she might not be able to get in her life, such as a house in the Cloud Residential Area.
