Chapter 20: Time Flies

The New Year is short-lived, and even if it is a long holiday at the end of the year, it is only a 20-day holiday - the doors of the café are once again open to the customers before the winter snowflakes disappear from the branches of the cherry blossom trees.

In the midst of this holiday, maybe a lot has happened, maybe a certain man who is always kneading the dough has finally taken the first step, maybe a certain foreman who always smiles softly has seen his happiness again, maybe a certain lady who always has cute trinkets hanging all over her body has found a new doll in a lucky bag, maybe a girl who wants to get close to her but can't do it has found a new way, maybe a working girl who is not for money has put on a new costume. Perhaps, a silver-haired girl came to her most essential voice in the silent night.

However, none of this has anything to do with Zhao Mian, at least at the beginning of this new year, it has nothing to do with him.

Compared to other people's New Year's Day, Lao Zhao's New Year may be a lot more boring - especially in the house where Sarandia was also sent back, except for the neighbors and clerks who came to visit at noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year and the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, he was the only one left eating the unrefined meal he had made, watching the snowflakes in the sky slowly fall.

Even after the café reopens, there is not much change in such days, every morning the usual morning morning and routine exercise, and then do some daily preparations for the opening of the café that day, maybe around half past nine the café will become a little more lively, and after ten o'clock, the café will begin to become more popular, because not only the clerks have already started their work, but also some of the regular customers around the door one by one, starting their morning tea of the dayHowever, it wasn't until 4 p.m. that the hustle and bustle of the café reached its highest point of the day, and workers from school and workers from off work poured into the café, which was not very big, and the laughter in the café continued until sunset. Until the last customer leaves, maybe it's not a short time, and the students who work will be the first to leave, because their studies are what they should think about now, but Tomoyo generally chooses to leave with Weina, maybe because of the same road, but the other employees prefer to believe that this is because the girl has long regarded herself as a member of the café, and not just as a part-time worker, after Tomoyo and Weina left, it was almost time for Maki and Fujino to leave. To be honest, these two beautiful ladies lived relatively close to each other - or rather, they did not live far away, after all, the town was only so big, but the two of them were indeed the closest to live, and less than three hundred meters from the shopping street, in a small rental apartment, there was a warm nest for the two of them. Shortly after the two ladies left, Wright, who had almost finished his final work and cleaned up the flour from his body, took his own steps, and he was probably the farthest away of all of them, but as a man, he was naturally much safer than the ladies at night, so he would try to do what he could before choosing to leave. Miss Yamabuki usually stays until the end before leaving, perhaps because of her sense of responsibility as a maître d'hom and her confidence as an older person - she always makes her own suggestions at various times, and if this café may open a branch, she may be the best candidate for the manager of the second store. Finally, after everyone left the café, Zhao Mian also closed the door of the café, walked back to his residence from the staff passage, and began to condition his body.

Oh, it may be boring to say, but if you summarize everyone's life, there won't be much difference. Because to be honest, people are social animals, except for those mavericks, basically everyone is living their daily lives, and using these daily routines to maintain their own lives, in these daily routines, they will be satisfied, both mentally and physically, and then these satisfactions will make them settle down, and then, the next daily life will come in an orderly manner.

It is often said that life is full of ups and downs, but how many "big" and "big" ups and downs are there in a person's life in this long and short life? Because there are not so many dazzling characters in this world, for ordinary people, tranquility is already the best way in the world, even if it is such a dull day, but as long as there is the company of their own family and the laughter between their friends, if you add a pot of wine and two or three dishes of side dishes, what is wrong with tranquility?

At least, as far as Zhao Mian himself is concerned, he is very satisfied with this atmosphere, and he is also happy to protect this atmosphere - because just such an atmosphere can be said to be precious for many worlds where many intelligent races gather.

Hawkers, regardless of what you have or don't, all in all, time passes quickly. One month, two months, three months,It's a very short time and it's a short time to pass.,During this period,The part-time students left a group and came to a new batch.,Wei Nai and Maki also cried for two of the female students.,But life is like this.,Joys and sorrows are like this;The tables and chairs put into the warehouse also ushered in their own days of seeing the light of day early.,These rattan guys were re-moved out on a bright and sunny day.,In the vague memory of the clerks.,These guys who look clumsy.,On that day, they still have the smell of medicine. -- Just like a patient who has just been discharged from the hospital, he still has the smell of disinfectant water from the hospital.

In the blink of an eye, the breath of April is eating away at the earth little by little, and people are beginning to change into some clothes that pay more attention to appearance than the role of warmth, for some specific groups of people, it may be good news that girls are finally coming out of the state of wrapping themselves tightly, but for most people, this will only reduce their budget for dressing in the morning. As for the café, the turnover is close to stable, the numerical value does ensure the efficiency of profitability, the people are at ease, and Zhao Mian is brainstorming a new drink or dessert to be launched this summer.

But in what might be a busy season, there was one person who seemed a little absent-minded lately - it was a silver-haired girl who had just gotten a very good score in her exams the other day.

Tomoyo sat upright at the end of the counter, holding a tray in his arms, and from other people's perspectives, it might be more appropriate to curl up in a ball to describe the girl's current movements. She pressed her tiny chin lightly against the edge of the tray, her eyes misty, looking at the rattan flower basket in front of her, but the attentive person could see that her gaze seemed to pass through the flower basket and look further away.

"Alet, where did the store manager run again?" Maki opened the curtain of the kitchen door and walked in, but didn't find the person she was looking for.

"The shopkeeper, he just went out, why? Didn't you see him in the courtyard? He went out through the main entrance. Wright, who was kneading the dough, didn't look up, just glanced down at the kitchen door, and then lowered his head and said as he kneaded the dough.

"Well, you may see it, but you may not see it...... "Maki said with a smile, "Well, forget it, it's not bad if you can't find the store manager looking for you." Hey, Wright, make me a cake. ”

"If it's just a cake, it's not a big deal, of course. Wright looked up, wiped the flour off his hands with the wet towel on the table next to him, looked at Maki and asked, "But what do you want the cake for?"

"If you get to the bottom of it, you're going to be hated by girls!" smiled, and Maki replied.

"But if you don't say it, I'll make you a wedding cake. Wright responded with a powerful response to show his attitude and curiosity, "and I'll carve a pair of villains out of chocolate and accidentally place them in the center of the cake." ”

"Uh...... Well, well, it's just a birthday cake. It's Fujino's birthday in a few days~, so I'm going to get rid of you and make a cake. Maki leaned over with a grin, and then said in a low voice, with a smile full of pits, "If you can inject all your heart and soul and leave the words 'Happy Birthday, my love' on the cake, the love in your heart will definitely be conveyed!"

"You ......" Wright raised his hand sharply, trying to slap it on the table, but while his hand was still in the air, he felt that something was wrong, and he scratched his head a little shyly, "Do you know what's going on with Sakagami? ”

"Change the subject!And it's the worst topic!" Maki sighed, but glanced behind her with some concern—through the crack in the kitchen curtain, the silver-haired girl curled up a little melancholy, "but ...... What the hell happened to Chiyo?"
