I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 67 Yu Han works at a restaurant

Three middle-aged men emerged from a private room. The one in front was swaying unsteadily, his face flushed with drunkenness, and he looked defiant. After a hearty meal, he came out with his two beady eyes scanning the hall restlessly.

Suddenly, the man's lecherous eyes fell on Yu Han, who was eating noodles, and he exclaimed, "Wow! How beautiful! Where did this fairy come from? She's several times more beautiful than my ugly wife."

Then the drunk man had a fat man and a thin man following behind him help him out of the restaurant.

As they reached the restaurant entrance, the man continued to look back provocatively.

His loud noise drew the attention of all the male and female diners in the restaurant to Yu Han.

The male diner forgot about your food and drink, his eyes fixed on Yu Han, who possessed a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, as he stared at Yu Han slowly chewing the long noodles in her mouth.

He overlooked the ugly woman sitting next to him. The plain-looking woman raised an arm and slapped her husband hard on the head, who was staring blankly at her. Only then did the man's gaze flee!

After finishing her meal, Yu Han stood up to leave. A waitress came over to collect the bowls and chopsticks, looking gently at Yu Qiu's charming face. She paused for a moment, then smiled and whispered, "Those three men who just left often come here to eat. They always go to that private room. They're not good people. You shouldn't work as a waitress here. He said they're very lecherous." She then continued collecting the bowls.

Yu Qiu smiled at her, then turned and left.

She had just reached the restaurant entrance when the owner suddenly called her back.

Yu Han was then kept in the shop by the female boss and worked as a front-of-house waitress, serving dishes and cleaning up bowls.

Waitress Zhang Xiaohong's words did not deter her from taking on this job of serving people. She had a lot of skills, so why should she be afraid of wind and rain?

Starting the next day, Yang Yuhan worked as a waitress at the Kelaiduo Restaurant during the day. The restaurant owner stipulated that waitresses should start work at six o'clock in the morning and finish at seven-thirty in the evening.

This time was exactly when "Hope" Night University officially started classes at 8 p.m., and there was still half an hour to go, which was just enough time to walk and prepare.

Every day she stayed in the night student dormitory, which was only a five-minute walk behind the school's teaching building.

In this way, I worked part-time and studied part-time for more than two months at "Kelaiduo", eating lunch and dinner at the restaurant every day.

The restaurant serves the waiters leftovers from departing customers. Only when there's very little leftovers will the owner ask the chef to make some new, ordinary dishes.

Sometimes, if diners leave behind some good dishes, the restaurant owner and his wife will eat them with the two waitresses.

Yang Yuhan would put the 300 yuan she received from the restaurant owner each month into a small paper bag, and then, behind the backs of her dormitory and the others, she would put it into the small cloth pocket inside the flower pillow she had brought from home. The small cloth pocket inside the flower pillow was specially sewn and patched by Liu Shulan before she came, with a small zipper attached.

She's been working as a waitress at this restaurant for almost three months now. Usually, she buys a bottle of "Friendship" brand face cream, a box of "Autumn Moon" powder, or a small box of "blush"—of course, it's just bright red powder, which she buys for a few cents because she likes it. She has a fair and delicate face, so she doesn't need "Autumn Moon" powder at all.

Only the "Friendship" brand face cream was somewhat practical. After that, I bought a roll of red toilet paper to use for my monthly period and when I went to the bathroom.

Living in the city and in the countryside was indeed expensive. In the 1970s and early 1980s, there was no toilet paper available in rural homes. People would squat in the mud-brick outhouse in front of the corn stalk firewood pile in the yard, and then use a small portion of the corn stalks, breaking them in half, to finish their business. They would then pull up their cold cotton trousers, tie on a belt made by their own sewing machine, and run back into the house.

In the city, she had more money to buy toilet paper, but no other expenses. Especially for a frugal girl like her, the purpose of working to earn money was to do something worthwhile; otherwise, she would be working as a waitress in a restaurant.

Providing service in a restaurant is no easy task, especially for a young woman like her, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and fair, smooth skin. How many men wouldn't be interested in her?

That day, she was at the "Kelaiduo" restaurant, serving dinner on the last day of her three-month stint. The three of them came to the restaurant. The man in the middle, who was neither fat nor thin, was the one who had drunk too much and flirted with the waitress Zhang Xiaohong when she first started eating noodles there.

A man had flirted with Wang Xiaohong, and she later told Yu Han about it. She said it wasn't shameless, but rather to warn her to be careful of the men there, especially since the female lead was so attractive. It's not just men who like pretty girls; women also enjoy looking at beautiful women.

The three arrived at the restaurant. The middle-aged man, neither fat nor thin, asked to pay and enter the front hall. His eyes began to scan the area. When he saw Zhang Xiaohong coming to greet him, he ignored her, despite her average appearance. He had been rude to her that day because she was the only waitress in the restaurant, and he had no other choice.

Then he asked, "Did that pretty girl come to eat later?" Zhang Xiaohong actually understood what he meant, but pretended not to understand and didn't answer him, just shook her head.

Fu Qian glared at her tiny, beady eyes again and asked loudly, "Tell the truth now, or I'll make you my target today."

Zhang Xiaohong trembled with fright, then raised one arm and pointed towards the kitchen.

It means the person he was asking about was in the kitchen.

After paying, he turned around and smiled at the kitchen. Then, he and his two henchmen, nicknamed Toad and Pala Dog, went into their private room to order food and eat.

After ordering, they asked Zhang Xiaohong to take the food to the kitchen for the chef and owner to cook. Then Xiaohong started to scold the three people in the private room.

Yang Yuhan was responsible for serving tea, water, dishes, and rice to the other diners in the hall.

It was close to lunchtime, so naturally, people who worked nearby flocked to this restaurant because of its large portions and reasonable prices.

The workload for waiters in the restaurant lobby is heavier, but in terms of safety and avoiding harassment, it's safer in public. People with ulterior motives will be quieter. At least even the boldest thief has to steal from others behind their backs.

Yang Yuhan chose to be more tired, which was better than being harassed by the man in the dark private room.

Next, she was harassed again; a moment later, the familiar voice of the middle-aged man from before came from the private room...

"The boss asked that pretty waitress to come over, pour me a glass of water, and then come and serve the food."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress immediately ran over with a smile and said, "Coming, coming! Mr. Fu, my boss is cooking for you in the kitchen. I'm here to hear your instructions. The dish on your table will be finished soon."

"I wasn't talking about the four dishes I ordered. I was calling over that pretty girl, whatever her name is, to replace Zhang Xiaohong. Zhang Xiaohong's appearance really ruined my appetite."

"Alright, I'll go and give the order right away. Xiao Hong, go to the front hall and change Yu Han."

Zhang Xiaohong walked out quickly, her face neither flushed nor pale.

"Boss, when we first came to this restaurant, there were six or seven young female waitresses. You specifically asked for Zhang Xiaohong, and you said she was a fairy. What happened to her?"

“You lapdog, if you want to eat this meal, you get out of here. How can that be the same? Zhang Xiaohong was a beautiful flower back then, but now she's a withered flower.”

"What the boss said is right. Don't think that the boss likes fresh flowers. I like tender young grass. Zhang Xiaohong was the eldest sister's little flower a few years ago. So, big brother, can I ask Xiaohong to be my wife now?"

"You toad, you're quite sensible. You know you're only worth half a pound, which is why you wanted Zhang Xiaohong, the woman my elder brother used to be, as your wife."

"Alright, you two decide for yourselves. Don't ask me about this. Go ask Xiaohong if she's willing to be with you."

Then he called out again, "Why hasn't the pretty waitress, the landlady, arrived yet?"
