Chapter 003: Are You the Devil?

Fenghua Community is not far from Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School, and Xia Lu lives here.

It was late at night, and the "Honghua Convenience Store" at the entrance of the community was still open.

The owners of the convenience store, Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong, are a husband and wife, who open at 6 o'clock in the morning and finish work at 11 o'clock in the evening.

The weather in Jiangcheng in November is getting colder, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong are Xia Lu's parents, and the couple entertain guests while keeping an eye on pedestrians outside the store.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, why hasn't Xia Lu come back yet?" Cui Minhong held the secret hot sauce clatter in his hand, hesitating whether to spread some more Cui's secret hot sauce on a certain grilled sausage.

The core customer base of barbecued sausage is professionals who get up early to catch the subway, greedy children, courier boys, and so on.

During school hours, Xia Lu eats out three meals a day, and supper is solved at his own "Honghua convenience store".

Xia Lu likes to eat grilled sausages, his taste is on the heavy side, and the grilled sausages must be coated with a thick layer of Cui's secret spicy sauce to be refreshing enough to bite it.

"Cui's Secret Hot Sauce Grilled Sausage" is a special dish prepared by Cui Minhong for Xia Lu, of course, the grilled sausage must be cooked, but it cannot be grilled into black charcoal, and the heat is the key.

On normal days, Xia Lu usually arrives at the convenience store at around 10:15 p.m., when Cui Minhong's carefully grilled "Cui's Secret Hot Sauce Grilled Sausage" is just baked, and his son can enjoy this unique taste bud pleasure for the first time.

The same is true tonight, ten o'clock is fifteen o'clock, the first mother's love sausage is in place, but Xia Lu did not return home on time.

Mother's love roast sausage became wife's love roast sausage, Xia Guohua ate it in his mouth, and his lips became spicy red.

At half past ten, the second "Cui's Secret Hot Sauce Grilled Sausage" was in place, Xia Lu still didn't go home, Xia Guohua ate it in his mouth, and his lips turned purple.

At ten fifty o'clock, the third "Cui's Secret Hot Sauce Grilled Sausage" was about to be baked, and Cui Minhong said to Xia Guohua with some worry: "Old Xia, you call Xia Lu and ask him where he is." ”

"He should go to an internet cafΓ©. Xia Guohua took out his mobile phone and looked solemn. He knew that his son who didn't make it had a bad academic performance, was a scumbag, and was so playful that he had no heart or lungs.

"Who still goes to an Internet cafΓ© to play these days, and they all use their mobile phones to play games. Cui Minhong said, she seemed to have a bad premonition: "I'm afraid Xia Lu didn't open the house!"

"A few days ago, I wondered, why is there two boxes of Durex missing in the store? This stinky boy didn't focus on studying, and all he thought about was messy things!" Xia Guohua suddenly realized that the Durex in the store had disappeared mysteriously, and he couldn't find the slightest clue, it turned out that it was a house thief who was in trouble, and it was difficult to prevent ghosts inside!

In the eyes of the couple, Xia Lu's grades in school will be pulled down, but Xia Lu must not go astray in society. Men are always going to open a house in their lives, but it should never happen in high school.

Xia Guohua was about to dial Xia Lu's number, and Xia Lu appeared in his field of vision.

Under the cover of night, Xia Lu on the street was pacing with his hands in his hands, he seemed to have something on his mind, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Oh, it's home. Xia Lu saw the bright lights in the Honghua convenience store more than ten meters away, and this small store was his beacon, guiding him in the direction of home.

As the convenience store gets closer and closer, Xia Lu's sense of security and sense of belonging continues to improve.

Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong can actually finish work early, and the real reason why the couple stayed so late was to see their son go home safely as soon as possible.

Xia Lu understands, Xia Lu understands, even if a person is out of place, he will never forget the way home.

It doesn't matter if your teacher reprimands you, your classmates distance yourself from you, or your table mates don't tell you the truth.

The place where my father and mother are is home, and home is the warmest home.

"Ding-dong, welcome!"

The induction glass door of the Honghua convenience store automatically separated, and Xia Lu entered the store, sighed, rubbed his hands, and opened the door of the beverage cabinet with ease, and took out a bottle of Sprite.

After thinking about it, forget it, stop drinking. Xia Lu put Sprite back in the cabinet, took a paper cup, and slapped a cup of boiled water.

If you drink more than one bottle of drink, your parents will earn less money for one bottle of drink. Xia Lu drank boiled water, walked back and forth in the store to sort out the goods on the shelves, and after doing these things, he and his parents could call it a day.

Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong glanced at each other and silently observed their son's every move.

"Nothing to do, this kid must have a ghost in his heart. Xia Guohua whispered in his wife's ear.

Cui Minhong didn't reply, she shouted at Xia Lu: "The sausage is grilled, Xia Lu, eat it while it's hot." ”

"Okay, eat intestines. Xia Lu walked to the counter with cheerful steps and took the Cui's secret spicy sauce sausage dish handed by his mother.

I gnaw, I gnaw, I gnaw, Xia Lu gnawed with oil in his mouth, and his nose breathed fire. It's cool, it's the taste, the taste of home, and my mother's food.

Xia Guohua said to Xia Lu quietly: "You came back late today. ”

"It's only half an hour late. Xia Lu responded as a matter of course.

"Half an hour can do a lot. Xia Guohua checked the accounting statistics on the computer and seemed to chat with his son casually.

"Yes, I studied at school and didn't leave until half past ten. ”

"You say you're studying and staying in school all the time?"

"Of course, I'm a student, what else can I do besides study?"

"In the monthly exam in October, what rank do you rank in the class?"

"Fifty-first. ”

"Oh, not much progress. Xia Guohua knew that there were more than fifty students in Xia Lu's class, ranking fifty-one, a few from the bottom. The son's academic performance was as bad as ever, and the old father seemed to be numb.

Condoms and chewing gum are sold at the counter, both of which have one thing in common: a wide variety of flavors and a variety of experiences for customers.

Xia Guohua looked at condoms and chewing gum intentionally or unintentionally, and Cui Minhong did the same.

Xia Lu followed his parents' gaze, and he asked curiously: "Dad, Mom, is the sales of Durex in our store good, or is the sales of Okamoto good?"

Xia Guohua flicked his fingers and tapped on the counter, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Xia Lu thought for a while and said, "emmm...... Okamoto is too expensive, no one buys it, right? I think Durex is more suitable for consumers, after all, it is cheap and easy to use, we need to buy more Durex. ”

"You ......" Xia Guohua's body shook slightly, and he stopped talking, and finally just said: "Xia Lu, you go back first, and your mother and I will go home later." ”

"Finish work early, don't come back too late. ”

Xia Lu left the convenience store and walked a few steps into the interior of Fenghua Community, where his family lived in a unit in the community, and the faΓ§ade of the convenience store was bought together when he bought a house.

Convenience stores seem to be easy to make a living, but in fact they are hard.

Xia Lu's parents don't really make a lot of money when they get up early and stay late, so they just talk about getting by.

There is a large supermarket across the street from the community, and if the customer's consumption plan is more than 100 yuan, they often choose to go to the supermarket to shop, or shop online.

Xia Lu has realized the importance of money since he was a child, and he hopes that through his own efforts, his parents can get rid of the life situation of "getting up early and being greedy for white powder and making money selling cabbage" as soon as possible.

The children of poor families are precocious, Xia Lu returned to the home of Unit 5 601, he took a bath and lay on the bed, pondering the 104 points, whether to exchange money or what?

If you honor your parents, how can you explain the source of this more than 10,000 yuan?

I'm so angry, I have money but I don't dare to use it.

Is my brain power too low? Can't think of a reasonable solution?

Is it to exchange money, or to increase brain power?

It's annoying.

Xia Lu tossed and turned until one o'clock in the morning and did not fall asleep, he heard in the bedroom, his parents were also not resting, and they were discussing "Honghua convenience store purchase channels and operating cost improvement plan".

After talking about business, the parents talked about their son's future again.

"Xia Lu can't count on being admitted to college, let's work hard for a few more years, let him learn a craft after graduating from high school. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

"Xia Lu can't be blamed for his poor academic performance, who let us not have a high level of education and can't guide him in his studies. ”

"If you want to open it, as long as Xia Lu is honest and lives a down-to-earth life, I will feel at ease. After a few years, Xia Lu joined the work, so we sold the shop and went to the suburbs to buy a cheap house for the elderly, and this urban house was left for Xia Lu to be a wedding house. ”

"Yo, it's a little more, let's sleep Xiaohong. ”

"Well, Dahua, you go back to the room first, and I'll take a shower. ”

There was no movement in the living room soon, and Xia Lu's heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Xiaohong, Dahua, hey, hey, the meat is numb.

When Xia Lu's father and mother get along alone, they will nickname each other Xiaohong and Dahua.

The dog food sprinkled by the parents Chiguo is not the point, the point is that Xia Lu realized that his parents broke their hearts for themselves.

"Take the university entrance examination, and take the examination of the North ...... Forget it, two books...... Forget it, three books ......"

"Make money, make a lot of money...... The richest man in the world...... Forget it, the richest man in the country...... Forget it, the richest man in the city ......"

Xia Lu muttered and fell asleep.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xia Lu woke up, and his parents had left home to go to the store as usual.

After washing up, Xia Lu went out.

There are already customers who have patronized Honghua convenience store, and these customers get up really early.

As the owner of the convenience store, Xia Lu's parents woke up earlier.

Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong's eyes captured Xia Lu's figure through the glass door of the convenience store, and for the two of them, seeing their son go to school early in the morning means that a new day has officially begun.

Maintaining the store, raising their son to adulthood, and urging him to embark on the right path are the greatest spiritual sustenance of the couple.

Xia Lu showed a sunny smile to his parents in the store, he clenched his little fist and waved: "Dad, Mom, I will work hard, and I will be full of vitality today!"

Xia Guohua was slightly embarrassed, and he waved his hand: "Xia Lu, hurry up to school, don't be embarrassed on the street." ”

Xia Lu came to the school, and he said to his soul: Come on today, work hard tomorrow, I am a systematic man.

System: "The initialization of the emotion module is complete, and the host can query it by itself." ”

"Emotions can also be exchanged for points?"

Xia Lu felt that the early morning was very inspiring, and the system brought surprises every day.

Checking his emotional valuation, Xia Lu was silent.

The father-son relationship with Xia Guohua is valued at 500,000 points.

The mother-son relationship with Cui Minhong is valued at 500,000 points.

……

The relationship between you and your parents can also be exchanged for points.

And the valuation is high!

If you sell your relationship with Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong, Xia Lu will be able to earn 1 million points = 100 million RMB in an instant!

The system gives Xia Lu a chance, and the billionaire is within reach.

With assets of 100 million yuan, Xia Lu can be promoted to the richest man in Fenghua community overnight!

Sell or not sell parents?

Sell?

Not for sale?

Xia Lu raised his head in front of the teaching building and roared: "Sell your sister, are you the devil!"
