The job at a convenience store is not hectic, but things are extraordinarily trivial.

He needs to help customers point out where things are, he needs to dump garbage and clean up, he needs to replenish the shelves, he occasionally has to make a cameo as a cashier, and if the boss has something to eat or drink, Su Mu has to help buy it.

I don't think there's anything, the boss gives him a salary, and Su Mu is responsible for doing things well, this is a matter of course, if you are not satisfied, you can resign, since you stay, you should do a good job.

This convenience store is also located in Chinatown, the owner's surname is Han, usually very good to him, let him go home when he gets off work, never delay the time to squeeze labor to make black money, in addition to wages, there is a meal at noon, there are meat and vegetarian, the taste is different every day, so Su Mu also loves to stay here to work.

In return, he always cleaned up the shelves, just like in a supermarket, even under the shelves full of garbage and dust, they were cleaned, customers felt comfortable, and they loved to come here to buy things, and the business was a little better, these Han bosses saw it in their eyes, so they would give him some milk, bread, etc. that were about to expire in a day or two, and give him free of charge, but it was not good for takeaway, the quality was fine, and the teenager who changed shifts with Su Mu did not have such treatment.

Just went to work at half past seven in the morning, the morning news was playing on the TV, Su Mu accidentally heard Xu Haifeng's name, and was surprised that there was really such a person, but it was just that the list of participants was announced very early and was used by others, and until now he still doesn't think those radio programs are real events.

"Come on, I just opened the door, I can't sleep in the morning, I've already mopped the floor when I come, you don't need to help. Middle-aged Boss Han said with a smile, and continued to ask Su Mu, "Have you eaten?"

There were two more steamed buns I bought in the morning, and I bought them from Uncle Wang on the street corner, and his steamed buns tasted the best, the dough was fermented, and they didn't taste so hard.

Business is good today, someone bought two Marlboro cigarettes when I first came, knowing that your brain is easy to use, remember to remind me to send two cases of liquor, my nephew is over ten years old, and he needs to use it when he invites people to dinner. ”

How can I buy more buns, after coming to work, Su Mu heard this sentence more than once, and understood that Boss Han deliberately bought two more for himself, and he was indeed a very good person, but it was a pity that his wife was a little fierce, and often quarreled with others because of a little thing, and took the buns with a smile on his face, Su Mu said: "I remember."

There is no hot dog bread left, only sausages are left, and today I have to send a few bags over, selling an average of thirteen hot dogs a day, considering that the shelf life is only five days, fifty are about the same. ”

Looking at Su Mu in surprise, Boss Han asked him, "Do you know this?"

didn't take it seriously, and then without waiting for Su Mu to answer, he pointed to the TV and said: "You have studied history, after the establishment of diplomatic relations, we have a much more comfortable life, some benefits were not available before, and now we begin to pay attention to us Chinese."

The previous Olympics were not allowed to participate, what Olympics have no borders, they are all fools, the Soviet Union did not protest this time and did not participate, the last time the Olympics were held in the Soviet Union, the United States did not send a delegation over, it was like the internal Olympics of the Soviet Union, and it was not even broadcast live for us.

I hope to be able to win a few gold medals to give us a long face, but the participants are all the world's top athletes, and I guess I can't even find a few professional coaches on the other side, so it's estimated that it's very hanging, but a lot of people have been sent over. ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, Boss Han walked to the door and rummaged through the newspaper sent today, quickly picked one out of it, sat in front of the cashier and looked through it, Su Mu leaned over while eating, and found that it was the sports betting page.

Legal bookmakers in the United States can bet on anything, naturally will not miss such a grand event, not only to bet on the ranking of players, but also to bet on the number of gold medals in a country, and even the total number of national medals can be bet, people prefer to bet on football, bet on rugby, after all, the probability of winning the two teams is larger, betting also stimulates the public's passion for sports events.

Boss Han occasionally likes to gamble and spend a few dollars to buy a lottery ticket for fun, and this time is no exception, he found what he wanted from the long list, and immediately laughed, as if he was talking to Su Mu, and as if he was talking to himself:

"The first place in the total number of medals in China will pay 650 times the amount of the bet, and it seems that I am really not optimistic about the strength of the athlete at all.

I wanted to buy some to play, but now I don't dare to buy it, in order to bet more than ten or twenty dollars to the city bookmaker, the brain is not good...... Why don't you give you a holiday today, it's just been a month, and your salary was already ready last night, and I will give you money to help me go to the city and buy a lottery ticket?"

Boss Han wanted to say that his brain was not good before he passed, but this time the odds were too high, he wanted to bet on the opportunity in case of a crime, he didn't want to go, yes, he suddenly thought that he still had a small errand, and continued to speak: "I will reimburse the travel expenses, and give me the lottery ticket after I buy it, and I won't use it in the afternoon." ”

Su Mu almost choked on the bun, he wanted to say that he didn't know the way, but after thinking about it, it was better to go to the street than to stay in the store to work, and the word "salary" deeply stimulated his little heart, this was the first payment Su Mu earned in his life, nodded decisively and said: "Okay!"

"Well, that's good, a hundred...... Two hundred dollars, half of the total number of medals in Huaxia is the first, half of the total number of medals in Huaxia is the second, and you will be given another thirty dollars in the fare, it is enough to take the bus or subway, be careful on the road. ”

……

He was holding an envelope with money in it, and he had two hundred and ten dollars extra in his pocket.

Su Mu went out in white short-sleeved and denim shorts, the morning was not too hot, the temperature was about twenty-five degrees Celsius, the weather was very good today, he should be able to come back before noon when he went to the city, no matter what, it was more comfortable than work, the air was filled with the breath of freedom, he liked this feeling of reasonable absenteeism.

Thinking that Du Zhong came to him yesterday and said that he would visit the aquarium together, he was originally rejected because he wanted to work, but now he has time, so he found a phone booth and made a phone call, and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the subway, during which he opened the envelope and counted, a total of ten Franklins, both new and old, a full thousand dollars in cash, which is definitely a huge amount of money for Su Mu, because he earned it through labor, the meaning is even more different.

Carefully stuffed into his pants pocket, the subway gold line has a station near Chinatown, which is closer than Du Zhong's house, so Su Mu is not in a hurry, holding the newspaper circled by the boss in his hand, he suddenly thought of the news that he heard from the radio that he ranked fourth in the total number of medals, and opened it and looked for it while walking, unlike the huge figure of six hundred and fifty times the compensation for the first place, the fourth place only paid one hundred and fifty times.

In the past, China did not send a large-scale Olympic delegation, and the betting agency did not feel that they had the strength to squeeze into the top five, after all, sports are not only the quality of the athletes themselves, but also reasonable training methods, etc., and most importantly, the betting agency does not think that anyone will bet on the Chinese athletes......
