"The smallest waiter in the city, Daddy cooks noodles and she collects bowls and collects money." Recently, this circle of friends of Mr. Peng, a citizen, has aroused many people's attention and praise.
Originally, the little waiter was called Ning Ning, 8 and a half years old this year, her hometown was in Dazhu County, Sichuan, and she came to Chongqing to accompany her father for the New Year. Seeing that his father worked hard and busy, Ning Ning took the initiative to ask Miao to be a waiter, helping his father collect bowls, cleaning, cashiers, etc., the only reward was: dad was less tired, and every day he ate the food cooked by his father.
The original intention is "I want to help him share the hard work"
After 10 a.m. on February 8, Ning Ning came to the Sichuan Dazhu Miscellaneous Sauce Noodle Restaurant in three gorges square, where she skillfully put on a small apron and began the day's work.
Ning Ning is 8 and a half years old this year, in the third grade of primary school, and the owner of the shop is Ning Ning's father, Mr. Liu. In June last year, Mr. Liu, who has been working as a chef for many years, came to Chongqing to open this noodle restaurant, "Chongqing is a bustling metropolis, with many people and many opportunities. This Spring Festival, Mr. Liu chose to stick to the business and accumulate some popularity and reputation for the newly opened noodle restaurant. On January 28, Ning Ning was taken to Chongqing by relatives to accompany her father for the New Year.
Despite ning ning's young age, she has a lively and outgoing personality, excellent expression skills, and speaks Mandarin well. She told the City Hot News reporter that after coming to Chongqing, she saw that her father was particularly busy and hard, and the two waiters in the noodle restaurant also returned to their hometown for the New Year, "I told my father that I would help him share the hardship." ”
Ning Ning also said that dad goes out to work after 5 o'clock every morning, and he has to be busy until dark before leaving work, if he helps his father, maybe his father can leave work early every day.
Work "the little waiter is so cute"
At noon, the number of customers in the store gradually increased. Mr. Liu was busy cooking noodles and making spices, and Ning Ning generously greeted the guests, and then reported the guests' requests to Mr. Liu one by one: "Daddy, cook three or two miscellaneous sauce noodles, and ask for chili peppers." "Dad, a bowl of clear soup noodles, a bowl of red soup noodles, both 2 two."
Mr. Liu said that the day after Ning Ning came to Chongqing, he offered to accompany him to work, and he thought that this was also a good winter vacation practice, so he readily agreed. Before going to work, Mr. Liu also went to the supermarket to buy a small apron for Ning Ning, "After she finished her homework every morning, she came to the store from the rental house next to her at about 10 o'clock and went home with me at night." ”
Initially, because he was worried about Ning Ning's young age and that she would be injured or unable to do her job, Mr. Liu only let Ning Ning sweep the floor or accept the bowl. But soon, the clever Ning Ning learned more job skills such as cashiering and greeting customers. Mr. Liu said: "At first I just wanted her to add a little experience, but now she is really my right-hand man. ”
"Auntie, you spent 13 yuan." In front of the cash register, Ning Ning said. The lady who paid the money couldn't help but exclaim: "The little waiter is so cute." After greeting customers, Ning Ning told the urban hot newspaper reporter with a small proud face that her math score was very good, and the simple addition of the noodle shop cashier could not overwhelm her. Mr. Liu also smiled and said, "I really didn't miss it, I checked it every time." ”
New Year's Eve "The 'auspicious noodles' that my dad and I ate"
Ning Ning has been on the job these days, and the happiest thing is Chinese New Year's Eve that night. That night, after sending off the last wave of guests, Mr. Liu cooked two bowls of hot mixed sauce noodles, and Mr. Liu told Ning Ning that this was a special "auspicious noodle". Finally, the father and daughter sat in the small shop and ate the noodles together, and there was no soup left.
Recalling that night, Mr. Liu's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. He said that he had worked hard in Guangzhou and other places for many years, and he had not been able to celebrate the New Year with his daughter for several years. This time, his daughter was with him and helped him share the work, which made him feel that this was the warmest moment.
Ning Ning said that the "auspicious noodles" made by his father were fragrant, and he was very happy to celebrate the New Year with his father, "Before, I could only join my father in the video." ”
Pay "Daddy is less tired"
These days, Ning Ning also had the saddest day - it was raining lightly that morning, and Dad had been busy in the store early, and he accidentally fell down, and there were many wounds on his hands and arms.
Mr. Liu said that these injuries are small things for himself who has been working outside for many years, but Ning Ning is very concerned, and he asks for 3 yuan every day, goes to the pharmacy to buy band-aids, and personally replaces themselves. After 8 o'clock that night, the urban hot newspaper reporter saw that when Ning Ning changed the band-aid for his father, the action was gentle and careful, and the mouth kept saying: "No pain, no pain." ”
Is Ning Ning paid to be a waiter? Mr. Liu said that he initially said that he would calculate the salary for Ning Ning, but Ning Ning was still angry when he heard it and resolutely did not want it. Ning Ning told the City Hot News reporter: "I just want my father to be less tired, and I am very happy to eat what my father cooks every day." ”
Ning Ning said that on the morning of the 10th, he was going to take a relative's car back to his hometown, and he was particularly reluctant to his father, "In the future, every time I take a holiday, I will come to help my father, and when I am a little higher, I can help him do more things." ”
Parents share the hardships and experience life Mr. Liu
Originally, I entrusted someone to take Ning Ning to Chongqing, hoping that she would come to play carefree. As a result, the baby is too sensible and has to come to the store every day to help me. It's just that sometimes I see her so small, but after being busy in the store, it's really painful.
The biggest gain in these days is that Ning Ning's ability to treat people and things has improved a lot, and the accounting has become faster and faster. The most regrettable thing is that for so many days, I didn't take my baby around the city to let her enjoy the beauty of Chongqing.
Ning Ning Grandma
Ning Ning usually followed me and her grandfather, she is a good child with excellent character and learning, she is very conscious in learning, her grades are also very good, and she has to help us wash dishes, sweep the floor, and wipe the table at home. She especially liked her father, and this time she knew that she was going to Chongqing to accompany her father for the New Year, and she was so happy that she couldn't sleep.
I also agree with Ning Ning exercising in the store this time, not only sharing his father's hard work, but also experiencing life himself.
Lawyers are not part of child labour
Previously, some customers ridiculed that Ning Ning was the youngest child laborer. In this regard, the city hot news reporter interviewed Lei Wanhua, a lawyer at Sichuan Discovery (Chongqing) Law Firm. He said that according to the Provisions of the Labor Law, child labor refers to juveniles and children under the age of 16 who have a labor relationship with a unit or individual to engage in economically income-generating labor or engage in individual labor.
Juveniles and children under the age of 16 who participate in family labor, work-study organized by schools, and auxiliary labor that is not harmful to physical and mental health and within the scope of their abilities permitted by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government are not included in the category of child labor. Therefore, like Ning Ning, using the winter vacation time to experience life in his father's shop and do some work within his ability does not belong to the category of child labor.
