Chapter 126: The Bottom Line
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Yao?" Cao Jinglong had already walked over as he spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nie Qi helped Cao Jinglong look after the store every day after the summer vacation, and he was already very familiar with him.
Cao Jinglong came over to greet their brother and sister, and he immediately responded enthusiastically.
"Uncle Long, you're busy, don't worry about us. As he spoke, Nie Qi looked at Cao Jinglong and then at his sister beside him.
His eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Uncle Long, you actually recognize my sister!"
When Cao Jinglong looked at him, Nie Yao was also looking at Cao Jinglong.
Her brows furrowed slightly, "Boss Cao." ”
The look of surprise on Cao Jinglong's face disappeared at this time, "Is it really Xiao Yao?"
Hearing Cao Jinglong's words, Nie Qi suddenly had a black line on his forehead, daring to love Cao Jinglong, did he not recognize it, he just screamed nonsense......
"Change your clothes, people have become thinner, and your Uncle Long has recognized them. Where is this going?" Cao Jinglong is very familiar.
From beginning to end, Nie Yao never called him uncle, but he called himself "Uncle Long" with a very thick face.
Nie Qi couldn't hide his words, especially to acquaintances.
This guy immediately got rid of Nie Yao, "Go to Putang with my sister to play and watch others make promotional videos." ”
Cao Jinglong had already learned from Nie Qi that Nie Yao was working part-time in a Hanfu studio, which was called Putang, about an hour's drive from Heping Street.
Cao Jinglong picked up the wet towel next to him and wiped his hands, "It's quite far from there, I'll send you over." ”
At this time, Nie Qi also learned to be smart, first glanced at Nie Yao, and waited for Nie Yao to make a decision.
Nie Yao smiled politely, "Boss Cao doesn't need it, let's just take the subway, soon." After speaking, her eyes swept to the truck that was still parked in front of the supermarket to unload, the meaning was self-evident, Cao Jinglong still had something to do, and there was no need to delay it for their sister and brother.
Cao Jinglong was not a fool, of course he could distinguish the defensiveness in Nie Yao's eyes.
He didn't insist, and the smile on his face didn't change, "That's okay, I won't send you, you sisters and brothers should be careful on the road, don't worry about it at home, I'll send soup over at noon." ”
Nie Yao didn't expect this Cao Jinglong to be so thick-skinned, he was dead skinned and relied on their family?
"Boss Cao, thank you for your kindness, my mother's lunch has been ready. ”
Cao Jinglong just smiled and didn't speak.
Watch their brother and sister walk away.
On the way to the subway station, Nie Qi said speechlessly: "Sister, what you just said is too false. ”
Nie Yao glanced at him.
"Let me tell you, now the proprietress of the bun shop knows that you can't cook. ”
Nie Yao: ......
As soon as Nie Qi's voice fell, he received a violent shudder on his forehead.
"Hey, sister, I didn't say it! Don't wronged me!"
Seeing that Nie Yao had already taken a step ahead, Nie Qi covered his head and chased after him, this time it was really not his big mouth.
When Nie's mother is not cooking, they order takeout every day, and even the little brother who delivers food knows them...... Everyone lives on the same street, can you not know?
Inside the Longteng supermarket.
Cao Jinglong finished unloading the goods, settled the account for the freight driver, and turned around and went out after explaining the cashier's aunt.
Cao Jinglong walked to the mouth of the alley and entered the bun shop.
The proprietress Aunt Wei greeted him when she saw him.
"Xiao Cao is here, have you had breakfast, and there are big meat buns that have just been baked. ”
Boss Cao found a seat in the bun shop and sat down.
"Two buns and a bowl of soy milk. ”
The proprietress smiled and picked up three large meat buns and a bowl of soy milk for him and put them in front of him.
It was already past nine o'clock, and it was past the rush hour for breakfast.
The bun shop is very clean, and there is not even a single customer.
Aunt Wei, the proprietress of the bun shop, is more than ten years older than Cao Jinglong, and she is still a little related, but the blood relationship is far away.
The two used to be neighbors, and when Cao Jinglong was young, when his parents went out to work, they often asked Aunt Wei to take care of him.
So the relationship between the two is actually closer than normal relatives.
There was no business in the store, so Aunt Wei sat opposite Cao Jinglong.
She smiled, "Xiao Cao, what you entrusted me with has been done." ”
Cao Jinglong solved a big bun in three or two bites, and took a sip of soy milk with a suitable temperature, "Hey, thank you Sister Wei." ”
He had already seen the clothes that Nie Yao was wearing in the morning, and of course he knew that Aunt Wei's matter had been done.
Aunt Wei smiled even more happily, and taught by the way: "You kid, you can't be so subtle when you are interesting to others, man, take the initiative." ”
"I know, Sister Wei, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Aunt Wei rolled her eyes, "Stinky boy, let me take care of you more when your parents were there, why, you still dislike Sister Wei for nagging you." ”
Cao Jinglong smiled innocently, didn't answer, and continued to eat breakfast.
Aunt Wei sat down and couldn't help but continue, "Chen Fang has been moving here with her two children for a while, and I have been watching coldly in the past few months, and I think there is nothing wrong with this mother and son. Chen Fang is hard-working, housekeeper, and her two children are also sensible. Ay...... Speaking of which, Chen Fang is also unlucky, how could such a good woman meet such a scumbag. There are really few good things in this world!"
Here, Aunt Wei complained to herself, and when she came back to her senses, she reacted that she scolded Cao Jinglong with this sentence, and she was a little embarrassed.
Cao Jinglong looked at her a little uncomfortable, and smiled to relieve her, "Sister Wei, you don't have to explain, I know what you mean, but I'm not that kind of man." ”
"Yes, yes, so you should work hard! After so many years, don't be alone. ”
Cao Jinglong left after breakfast.
Aunt Wei saw that his back was straight when he walked, his shoulders were broad, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, but she watched Cao Jinglong grow up, and she was a good man worth relying on.
Cao Jinglong came out of the bun shop and did not go directly back to Longteng Supermarket, but went back to his residence on Heping Street.
Cao Jinglong also lives in a courtyard on Heping Street, a little far from Nie Yao's house.
The courtyard where he lives is slightly larger, and in the courtyard is an old-fashioned two-story building, which is the house left by Cao Jinglong's parents.
He opened the door and entered the house, closed the door with his backhand, walked to the couch and sat down.
Then he took out his mobile phone, quickly edited a message and sent it to an unmarked unknown number.
Soon, he received a reply with only one word, "um".
In the old villa of Lu in Beijing, Lu Zecheng was wearing a special black straight military uniform, wearing military boots, and sitting in a fabric sofa.
He held up his long legs at will, filling the gap between the sofa and the coffee table.
At this time, Lu Zecheng was holding his mobile phone, looking at the text message from the unfamiliar number, the photo in the text message was taken in a hurry, there was only one back, and it was not a single person.
His thick eyebrows were slightly raised, but his thin lips were pursed, although his eyes fell on the mobile phone screen, his deep gaze was a little sloppy, obviously not looking at the photo, he was already distracted.
