Early the next morning, Lin Shiya took her mother out after breakfast, both of them are action-oriented people, as long as they think of and decide something, they will start to do it immediately, and they will never procrastinate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two went to the rental agency, found a middleman to explain their intentions, picked several suitable houses and facades, and went to see the existing house together. After looking at it for hours, after a morning passed, I finally chose a room with not a lot of people, but it was not small, it was a little quiet, but it was the most suitable faΓ§ade for mothers to make custom clothes. I chose a two-bedroom and two-living room suite that was not very far from the faΓ§ade, and after bargaining between the two parties, I rented it at a moderate price.
After signing the contract, the two simply cleaned up the house, it was already past noon, and then the two had lunch in the small shop outside.
After lunch, Lin Shiya thought that it was rare to come to the city once, and she had to buy some delicious food for her grandmother. So I said goodbye to my mother and went shopping alone. And my mother went back to my grandmother's house to discuss moving and opening a store.
In the 80s, there was still no comparison between the town and the city, although I had money in my family, there were many things that were not sold in the town, and even if I did, it was not a very good kind.
Lin Shiya didn't know what to buy, she was dazzled in the supermarket, and finally bought two catties of white rabbit toffee, a can of malt milk essence, and a box of chocolates for her grandmother.
On the way back, I passed by a cake shop, which was completely absent in the town, and I thought that my grandmother had never eaten any of these things, so I wanted to buy one. When I walked in, I saw a one-pound cake that was very beautiful, and asked, "Boss, how can I sell this cake?" β
At the same time, a male voice sounded beside him: "Boss, how to sell this cake?" β
The two turned their heads to look at each other, and both said in surprise, "It's you?" β
"Is that you?"
The two looked at each other and smiled again, and Xiao He stretched out a hand and made a gesture of please.
Lin Shiya smiled and said, "Such a coincidence? β
"My grandfather's family lives around here." Xiao He replied with a smile.
"Oh."
β¦β¦
The second meeting was still a little strange, and the two were speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, and becoming embarrassed for a while.
At this time, the boss happened to come over to relieve their embarrassment and introduce them: "This is just one pound in size, and the top layer is made of fresh cream, which is a little more expensive, and costs fifteen yuan." But today's no, this was ordered by someone else, and someone else will come to pick it up at this time, if you want it, you have to wait for tomorrow. It's not too early now, and in another hour we'll be closing the door, so it's too late to do it. β
"So, what time do you go to work tomorrow? I don't know if it's in time. Lin Shiya asked.
"The store opens at eight o'clock in the morning."
"Can you do well at half-past eight? If I could, I'd just come over tomorrow morning and get it and take the bus. β
The boss thought for a while and said, "You can rush it when you arrive, but I'll come over early to do it." It's just that you have to give a deposit of ten yuan before I can do it, otherwise I'm afraid that you won't come to pick it up if I do it, and then I won't be able to sell it. β
"Okay, no problem, you give me the receipt, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning."
The boss went back to the counter to issue a receipt.
"Then boss, you make one more of the same tomorrow, and I will take it at the same time. May I? Xiao He also said.
The boss glanced at him and said, "Yes, one is to do, two are also to do, anyway, they are all the same, it doesn't take much effort, just put one more material when you do it, it's not in the way." Then I'll give you a deposit receipt. β
"Okay, the deposit is for you." Xiao He took out the money and handed it over to the boss.
Lin Shiya received the receipt and handed over the money to the boss.
The two came out of the cake shop, and Xiao He said: "I'll catch the bus at nine o'clock tomorrow, and we'll take the bus back together then, right?" β
"Huh?" Lin Shiya didn't quite understand what he meant.
"It's a little bit away from the station, it's not easy to rush, my dad will send a car to take me there tomorrow, and he will take the cake and sit with me just in time to catch the bus." Xiao He explained.
"Oh, but wouldn't it be good?" Lin Shiya asked.
"What's good or bad, it's just a way, and it's not a big deal." Xiao He dispelled her doubts and said.
"Well~ well. We'll see you here tomorrow. Anyway, he is not a bad person, and he invited himself so sincerely, Lin Shiya no longer agreed coquettishly.
"Well, okay, I'll see you here tomorrow."
The two said goodbye and went home separately.
Looking at Lin Shiya's distant back, Xiao He smiled, feeling an indescribable happiness in his heart, he didn't expect to see her here today. Thinking about tomorrow again, he said in his heart: "Soon, we can meet again." β
After going back, Lin Shiya told her mother about the hitchhike in the evening.
Chen Yuzhu listened and said, "Isn't this good?" β
"What's so bad? He's not a bad guy, he's helped me, and I met him today. Everyone has warmly invited, if I refuse, wouldn't it seem that I am a child? Lin Shiya told what happened when she was in the car yesterday.
Chen Yuzhu was frightened when she heard this, and she was glad that she had met a nobleman, otherwise if her daughter was abducted, she would not let herself cry to death? Road:
"Qinghao met that big brother who is willing to help you, otherwise I won't be able to see you. I'll get up early tomorrow morning, make more delicious food, and bring it to him with a little heart, thank you for your help. β
After thinking about it, he said uncomfortably: "No, I'll come with you tomorrow and send you back to the town and come back, otherwise I won't worry." β
"Mom, what's the use of this, I'm not a child who is ignorant and playful and can't resist temptation. Besides, isn't there still that big brother? He also sat until the town before getting off, and when I arrived in the town, I knew him very well, and I could get home in a few steps, and what was he afraid of? I can't take a ride to the station after taking the cake, and you can go with it, right? Wouldn't that be rude? Lin Shiya dispelled her thoughts.
"Then just don't sit down, Mom will send you all the way back."
"How's that going to work? I obviously promised other people's things and broke my promise, didn't my mother teach me to be honest? How can it be reversed? If I don't take it, it's a little far from the station, and I may not be able to catch the nine o'clock train when I walk there, and I have to wait for more than an hour, and I don't want to wait there stupidly. β
"You really don't want me to send you?" Chen Yuzhu asked again.
"Really." Lin Shiya nodded seriously and replied.
"Okay, then you have to be more careful when you get home, and remember to call me when you get home to report that you are safe. You know? β
"Okay, I will, don't worry."
After saying so much, seeing that her daughter still insisted on going back alone, Chen Yuzhu couldn't do it, so she could only tell her to pay more attention and be careful on the road.
