In Xiaoxiaotonggu County, there are three shops on one street, and time has passed, a street more than 40 years ago has developed into three streets, and the three shops have become hundreds of shops, but they are still in tatters, and there is not even a good hotel on the street except for the government guest house.

In normal times, government guest houses would be open to the public, but now that it is almost the end of the solar calendar, the officials who entertain the towns and villages to come to the county seat for meetings are nervous, not to mention the teachers and students who come to participate in the competition.

The morning train staggered to Tonggu Station, and Li Jiaming, who woke up, helped Vice President Chen put away four military coats, and before he could get off the train, he let the stout Mao Ling hug him.

"Jiaming, why is it so slow? I've been waiting for half an hour!"

"Brother Mao", Zhang Shaolong, who was worried all the way, immediately smiled when he saw Mao Ling, and made up his mind to go with the second child in the past two days and stay away from this goblin.

"This is Principal Chen, this, oh, you know the two of them. ”

"Hello Principal Chen", Mao Yan, who had clear eyebrows, hurriedly helped Vice Principal Chen take things, and said with a smile: "Principal Chen, Brother Hao has been arranged, let's go live in the hotel." ”

It's a good thing, there are free hotels to live in, who wants to live in a broken hotel?

Principal Chen just wanted to agree, but the awake Li Jiaming hurriedly pulled his sleeve, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Principal Chen, you have to be careful now, there is no big mistake in being careful." ”

Yes, President Chen suddenly realized that the current hotel must be full of officials who have come to the meeting. It is very likely that he will take over the position of Principal Liu, and this bone joint has to be careful and cautious at the moment, so he hurriedly refused: "Fusheng, you thank that Mr. Dong for us." We won't go, we have to compete tomorrow, and it's inconvenient to live far away. ”

"This, that", Mao Yan, who was very good at observing words and expressions, agreed happily, and hurriedly said: "Principal Chen, my cousin invites you to eat at noon,"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, thank you for me, I have something to do at noon. ”

In the past few years, he has not run or sent to the same place, and Vice President Chen does not teach the first year of junior high school, this time he led the team to participate in the competition, wasn't it the President of Liu University who specially arranged for him to walk around?

"Mao Yan, you tell Uncle Chuanmeng that Principal Chen has something, and a few of us will go over for dinner. ”

"Hey".

If there is something, the disciple will obey it. Although he was not a disciple of Vice President Chen, Li Jiaming still quickly logged in to remember, took the key to open the door, turned on the water, made tea, and settled the teacher, Liu Shasha and Wang Congju, in exchange for his repeated compliments.

Vice Principal Chen, who was tired from sitting in the car, drank two sips of hot tea, glanced at the old 'Shanghai' watch, and saw that it was time to go to work, so he hurriedly said: "Jiaming, the teacher has something to do, you arrange activities for the students." ”

"We're waiting for you to have dinner?"

Vice President Chen was extremely relieved of Li Jiaming, picked up his bag and shook his head, and instructed: "No, take care of the students." ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming followed Vice Principal Chen to lock the door, and went next door to ask Liu Shasha and Wang Congju to go out.

"Brother Jiaming, I'm not going, I'm too tired to take the car, I want to sleep for a while. ”

Hey, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and after a long time of contact, Li Jiaming knew that the conditions of Wang Congju's family were not good. A few years ago, Wang Duan's imprisonment made her family even more impoverished, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a cousin who could do business to help from time to time, I am afraid that studying would have become a problem.

"Okay, you sleep here, and I'll come and call you for dinner at noon. ”

The children of poor families are sensitive, and Li Jiaming is not reluctant to let others go, so he takes Liu Shasha out to go shopping. It's winter, I have to buy a few pairs of gloves for my little sister, Zeng Ningsheng only sells clothes in the store.

The morning in the middle of winter was a little cold, the two went downstairs, Liu Shasha wrapped a little scarf tightly, and said with a white breath: "Where do you want to go?"

Li Jiaming glanced at the hurried or leisurely pedestrians on the street, and pointed to a white-filled breakfast shop opposite, "Are you hungry?"

Before taking the car, Liu Shasha ate some rice noodles at Vice President Chen's house, but how could she have an appetite to eat so early? Let Li Jiaming remind her like this, Liu Shasha was really a little hungry, her beautiful big eyes blinked, and she said slyly: "You have a treat?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Bread", Liu Shasha immediately pointed to the beautifully decorated cake shop opposite the hostel, the last time Dong Hao brought them here, it was the bread and cake that they bought there.

"Row"

Girls like those good-looking, sweet things, the last time I came to the county, I didn't see this store, it is estimated that it has just opened not long ago, and the decoration is very trendy.

The two crossed the street and entered the cake shop called 'British Time'. The shop is warm, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with black and white floor tiles, solid wood ceilings, Western-style chandeliers, wall lamps, and a few rows of long tables and chairs in the corner. The soft light of the chandeliers and wall lamps shines on the crystal clear glass cabinets, various pastries in the cabinets, and clean tables and chairs, which has a dreamy feeling, and the dilapidated street scene outside the store is like two worlds.

The waiter is also very beautiful, no, it should be good-looking, good-looking, and dressed very foreign, snow-white top, coffee-colored pants, white shirt is embellished with coffee-colored buttons, collar, very much like the taste of the West.

Well, this boss should be a person who has seen a little of the world, but this kind of store is opened in Tonggu, can there be business?

Li Jiaming secretly praised, but when he saw the price in the glass cabinet, he couldn't help but be startled. This year's bean paste bread, they dare to sell it for two yuan a piece? black, it's really black!

"Boss, a meat floss cake, well, a hot dog bun, and a glass of milk. Jiaming, what do you want?"

"I'm not hungry, you can eat. ”

"Stingy!"

Liu Shasha's slender fingers nodded into the glass cabinet, sat on the bench in the corner and waited, Li Jiaming continued to examine the pastries in the glass cabinet. The meat floss cake is actually five yuan a piece, and this goblin wants to kill himself.

Poor child, isn't it cold to eat cold food in this winter?

Li Jiaming laughedly stopped the waiter dressed in a foreign style from handing bread, cake, and milk to Liu Shasha, pointed to the microwave oven in the cash register and said, "Miss, please heat up the bread and milk, eating cold in winter is not good for your health." ”

"Oh"

The waiter in foreign clothes looked at Li Jiaming strangely, since the store opened for more than a month, this is the first customer to buy bread and milk and ask for heating.

"Miss, it's not heated like this", Li Jiaming amusedly called the waiter again, took out the milk bottle from the microwave, stabbed the aluminum foil on it with a straw, and then put it in to heat it.

"Miss, tell your boss that your pricing is too high. ”

The young waiter was also really good-tempered, not only did he feel that Li Jiaming was finding fault, but patiently explained: "Sir, our raw materials are the best, and the price will naturally be expensive." ”

Mr?

Li Jiaming, who began to develop, inherited his father's advantages, a cut above his peers, coupled with his calm temperament, even if his voice was a little hoarse during the voice change period, it was difficult for others to treat him as a child. Liu Shasha, who was not convinced, looked at Li Jiaming, and had to admit that this kid really looked like an adult.

"Hehe, business is very cold, right?"

'Ding', the alarm sound of the microwave oven heating up, interrupted Li Jiaming's words, and also reminded him that he is not a living Lei Feng, what does it matter to him whether the business of this store is good or not?

The bread was fluffier after being baked, and the warm milk was not icy at all, and the smiling Liu Shasha was satisfied with biting the bread and drinking the milk, attracting compliments from the waiter next to her.

"Sir, you are so good to your sister. ”

Sister?Liu Shasha's pretty face that was still smiling instantly became stiff, and Li Jiaming, who had just been slaughtered, smiled, and the waiter continued to compliment: "You are the first brother to warm bread and milk for my sister among the customers I received." ”

It's no wonder that the waiters misunderstood, the people in the mountains are ordinary and short, Li Jiaming's temperament is too calm, plus he is one meter six or five high, he looks like a big boy in his early twenties, and Liu Shasha is an eleven or twelve-year-old yellow-haired girl no matter how beautiful she is. One picks the most expensive one to buy, and the other is reluctant to eat but buys it for her, this is not a brother and sister with a good relationship, is it still a couple?

What's more, Li Jiaming still shook his head and said in a doting tone: "Hey, children are greedy." ”

“bitch!”

Li Jiaming automatically filtered these words, pretending not to hear them, but was interested in continuing to visit the cake shop. But the goblin deserves to be a goblin, just now I don't know which cheap to scold, the bread in his mouth has not been eaten yet, and he began to command the waiter to take a baguette, hugging Li Jiaming's arm, and smiling like a flower: "Brother, this is delicious!"

"Well, buy it", his toe was stepped on, what else could Li Jiaming do besides saying that?
