In the dead of night, the cool breeze is gentle. The light of one room suddenly turned on, and the old lady came out of the house alone, and she paced towards the outermost room on the left side of the courtyard.

In the dimly lit small room, the old lady stood at the offering table with her eyes closed and meditating. After that day, she would come to the incense stick herself every morning, but today, for the third time, she had come to the small room, having come to pick up the codex.

Suddenly, there was a commotion all around, babbling like a child laughing, and the source of the sound was the clay pots on the wall shelves.

The old lady opened her eyes and stomped her feet, and the sound stopped abruptly, and calm returned to the private room. She turned and walked over to the shelf, took a relatively new clay jar from the top, and then trembled back to the offering table and put it down.

The old lady lit the incense and said, "Alas, that child's spiritual power is beyond imagination...... Thinking about it for the past few days, my heart is uneasy, master, you have a spirit in the sky, please ask for a dream, and guide the disciples! After saying this, she was silent for a long time, until a stick of incense burned out, and she put the clay jar back in its place. Then the old lady left the small room, paced back into the house, and turned off the lights again.

I woke up from the couch and it was past eight o'clock. Last night I was idle and looked through the codex, not to mention some words I didn't know, even if I knew the words, I couldn't understand them, and then I yawned and fell asleep for some days. I hurriedly washed up and went out of the house, and went straight to the mall - Xiao Ting said that the door would open at eight o'clock, and the store that violated the rules three times would be fined.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Fang, I overslept!"

"It's okay, Sister Xiao gave me a spare key!"

I smiled apologetically and walked over to the counter.

Xiao Fang is an alumnus of our primary class, and Xiao Ting hired her because of this. She is a big girl, to put it bluntly, she is not careful enough, although she has been working part-time here for a year, she has just graduated and has no social experience than us, which is why Xiao Ting is not at ease to hand over the store to her, and instead pulls me to help. But I, alas......

I stood behind the counter for most of the morning, and a few regular customers came to the store, and Xiao Fang was responsible for greeting me, and I was responsible for packing and checking out.

Maybe because I didn't eat breakfast, my stomach was a little uncomfortable, I saw that the time was almost 11 o'clock, and there was no one at this time, so I told Xiao Fang to go to lunch first. I picked up my bag and walked outside the store, a tall and strong boy approached, and I looked back, he seemed to be heading towards our store.

The first floor of the mall is a food court, but the cost is relatively high, and generally the merchants here will go to the back street of the mall to eat, where there are many restaurants. I ordered a fried rice, and halfway through it, I noticed that someone was staring at me - it was a bearded uncle! When I looked at him, he didn't shy away from it, his eyes were always on me, or rather, at the plate of fried rice in front of me.

I took two more bites, then got up and settled the bill. As I was leaving, I glanced in the direction where the uncle was standing, who was still standing, staring at the unfinished plate of fried rice.

"You're back, give!" Xiao Fang walked over with a card.

"What is this?"

"You just left, and a big man sent it, saying that it was Sister Xiao's high school reunion!"

Coincidentally, I was in the same school as Xiao Ting in high school, but she transferred to another school in her third year of high school, and we didn't know each other at that time, but there was a male classmate who had been in the same class, named Gao Xiao. I took the card back to the counter and threw it in a drawer.

In the afternoon, I received a batch of pictures from Xiao Ting and asked me to help me get ideas. At this time, there are more customers entering the store, and I thought that instead of asking me, it would be better to ask the consumers directly, and then send the pictures directly to the iPad, so that the customers who are interested in taking the goods can give some opinions.

When it was time to close the door, I said to Xiao Fang: "It's hard work today, why don't we eat together?" ”

"No, I've made an appointment and left first!" Xiao Fang said with a happy face.

Looking at her departing back, I couldn't help but sigh: It's good to be young!

I was going to close the door after taking inventory, but when I heard someone come in, I turned around and said, "Sorry, we're closing!" ”

"Lin Shan! Ahhhh The other party rushed to me excitedly, if I hadn't been used to her surprise, I really couldn't bear it.

"Su Bei, if you don't let go, I'm going to wear my chest!" I pushed Su Bei away and put down the ballpoint pen that had almost become the murder weapon.

"Why are you here? What about Xiao Ting? ……”

As one of her college roommates, Su Bei has a good relationship with Xiao Ting. But I haven't seen her for a year, and she is enthusiastic and cheerful, and she can pull me and babble, chattering endlessly.

"I'll treat you to dinner!" I turned off her voice with these words and closed the door of the store as well.

In summer, as soon as night falls, barbecue stalls and food stalls spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

"This, this, and this...... Boss, add another chicken leg! Su Bei sat down satisfied, looked at me and asked, "Why do you order so little?" ”

"Lose weight!" I wanted to invite her to dinner, but halfway through, she pulled me to sit here on a whim. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I have a bad stomach lately.

"I'm telling you...... US 271...... It's a big beauty who mixes well, and now that you follow her, you must also eat and drink spicy food......"

I shook my head helplessly, pulled out a roll of paper and handed it over: "Save your poor clothes!" ”

Su Bei took it, wiped it casually, and continued to chirp: "Do you know that Ju Gu is getting married, we will get together at his wedding and shake all his ugly things to the bride...... Hey, did you hear me, what are you looking at? ”

"Huh?" I pulled my gaze back. Just now I saw the uncle again, he was wearing jeans and a thin khaki jacket, he was of medium height, and although he had a raunchy face, he did not look like a beggar. Maybe it's because they meet twice a day, and it's when they're eating, I care a little about it, and what's even more strange is that his attention is always the food in my hands!

"Ahhhh If you don't eat me, I'll eat it! ”

Su Bei reached out to grab it, and I hurriedly protected it and said, "You solve your own first, don't eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in other people's bowls!" ”

"What is in other people's bowls is usually more fragrant!" Su Bei said matter-of-factly.

The uncle kept staring, and I felt uncomfortable. After settling the bill, I pulled Su Bei to walk towards him, and asked as I walked, "Did you see that uncle?" ”

"Do you know me?" Su Bei looked curious.

"I don't know!" I breathed a sigh of relief, but just as we passed by him, a sentence suddenly came to my ear: I'm hungry, you help me go home!

"What's wrong?" Seeing that I stopped and didn't leave, Su Bei looked at me curiously and asked, "Shouldn't you be full?" I'll tell you what kind of fat to lose! ”

After hesitating for a moment, I turned around and walked over and asked, "Uncle, are you lost?" ”

"I'm hungry, I'm starving, I'm hungry......" the uncle kept repeating these words to me.

"What's the situation?" Su Bei followed and asked, "Your relatives?" ”
