When I returned to the convenience store, I still didn't see Li Ji.

Lin Zichen opened the door of the store, and then went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Just now at Aunt Chen's house, he was scolding and moving his feet, and Lin Zichen was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

The porridge was too slow, so Lin Zichen took a pack of somen noodles from the shelves of the store, then went to the vegetable field in the backyard to pick a few handfuls of green vegetables, and simply ordered a bowl of green vegetable noodles to solve the breakfast.

"Aunt Li, I want to see the account book of the bookstore this month." Lin Zichen said to Li Xin while eating noodles.

"You wait." Li Xin turned around and went upstairs and went to his room to take down the account book.

"Here you go." Li Xin handed the account book to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen sat down in front of the cash register of the convenience store and looked at the account book carefully.

Li Xin's account book income and expenditure are clearly written, and Lin Zichen knows the amount of net profit of the bookstore in the past month at a glance.

Li Xin didn't know how to get the account book at first, but Lin Zichen taught her step by step.

Li Xin's understanding is very good, Lin Zichen taught it a few times, she learned it, and formed her own bookkeeping style, except for Lin Zichen and herself, others couldn't understand her accounts for a while.

Lin Zichen saw that Li Xin was able to deal with it, so he simply handed over the general ledger of the convenience store to Li Xin to manage, and she only needed to check it every month.

When Lin Zichen finished eating the last bite of noodles, he also finished reading the account book, "Aunt Li, you first transfer the share of the bookstore in the first half of the year to my passbook, plus the profit of the convenience store, it is estimated that it is enough to buy the land of Aunt Chen's family." ”

When Li Xin heard this, he choked suddenly. smiled: "The two plots of land of Aunt Chen's family are not as large as the area of our two families combined. How much money did you spend to buy the deed of the convenience store and the house together, and Aunt Chen's two pieces of land alone are more than enough for the bookstore's income for most of the year. Why do you need to invest the income of convenience stores? ”

The bookstore can borrow more than 2,000 yuan per month for members, plus some other books, and the income is not low. Therefore, it can be calculated that the share of the bookstore for half a year is not a small amount.

What's more, the self-service purchase method in convenience stores has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if many similar stores have gradually emerged in Pinghe County, they are no match for Lin Zichen's first attack on the customer base.

The convenience store's products are of high quality and low price, and with occasional discounts, the reputation has already spread among the residents of Pinghe County.

Lin Zichen smiled and said nothing. I was thinking about how to buy the land I wanted at the lowest price.

Handing back the ledger to Li Xin, Lin Zichen washed the dishes and began to tidy up the shelves of the convenience store.

Aunt Chen is serious and down-to-earth, not only for herself. The same is true for others. It's just that it lacks a spirituality, and to put it mildly, it doesn't know how to be flexible, and blindly sticks to the rules.

The same is true for convenience stores, the placement of goods, and the hygiene of the store. Aunt Chen can do it properly. However, the way each item is placed does not change from time to time.

I just blindly remembered that Lin Zichen said that the best goods to sell should be placed on the shelves in the center. But Lin Zichen said this for the height of adults. And some children's snacks can only be placed in a relatively low position that children can reach.

Aunt Chen didn't understand the truth of this, so every time she asked Lin Zichen to mention it before she could make progress next time.

Lin Zichen rearranged the shelves, and before he saw Li Ji go downstairs, he was a little puzzled.

Clapping his hands, Lin Zichen went upstairs and came to Li Ji's door, "Fourth brother, are you still sleeping?" ”

No one in the room answered. Lin Zichen pushed the door in, and it was immediately empty.

"Went out without saying hello?"

Lin Zichen was even more curious.

I thought about the places Li Ji usually goes. Lin Zichen went downstairs, "Aunt Li, I'll go to the back of the house for a walk, and I'll be back soon, and I'll leave the matter of the store to you first." ”

"Okay." In the morning, there was less traffic in the bookstore, so Li Xin happily agreed.

Lin Zichen walked along the small hill behind the house to a meadow, and sure enough, he saw Li Ji's figure there, and unexpectedly saw Gu Mingxuan.

It is estimated that Gu Mingze came here when he returned home, and it was boring to stay alone in renting a house.

Lin Zichen quietly approached the two of them and shouted unexpectedly, "Drink!" ”

Although Gu Mingxuan was frightened, but when he looked back at Lin Zichen, his face suddenly returned to normal, but the sharp-eyed Lin Zichen still noticed the slight changes in his face, and couldn't help but feel bored, but Li Ji was so frightened that the books in his hands fell to the ground.

"Hahaha." Lin Zichen laughed heartily when he saw this.

Li Ji rolled his eyes speechlessly, picked up the book on the ground and continued to look at it. This sister is more and more fond of teasing people, and she is not cute at all.

Lin Zichen ignored Li Ji's aggrieved gaze, took a closer look, and found that it was actually a brief book from a major famous school, "Where did this book come from?" She remembered that at this time, there was not a single book like this in the entire source city.

Li Ji angrily pouted at Gu Mingxuan's position, "This is what Mingxuan asked a friend to send." ”

Lin Zichen glanced at Gu Mingxuan unexpectedly, only to realize that he didn't know much about Gu Mingxuan.

Everyone in the Gu family knew at a glance that they were not ordinary family members, but why did Gu Sting come to Fenghezhuang, a remote mountain villa, to be the village head, and why did the Gu Mingxuan brothers have to follow? The father and son are all in Fenghezhuang, why didn't Fang Yuping follow?

Lin Zichen couldn't understand these questions, but Lin Zichen was not a person who liked to find out the roots. No one has a few secrets, as long as they have sincere fellowship, everything else is secondary.

Lin Zichen already had a favorite university in her heart, and the books in Li Ji's hands were not attractive to her at all.

Li Ji also heard Lin Zichen talk about the university she wanted to go to, and knew that the books in her hand were not of much use to her, so she didn't show them to Lin Zichen.

And Gu Mingxuan didn't know that Lin Zichen had skipped a grade, and seeing that Lin Zichen was not interested in the book in Li Ji's hand, he didn't suspect it.

"You go ahead and sit down, I'll go back to the shop." Lin Zichen stood up, patted his ass and prepared to go back to the convenience store.

"Where's Aunt Chen?" Gu Mingxuan asked strangely.

Lin Zichen replied lightly: "Something happened to Aunt Chen's family. I let her rest at home for a day. ”

"I'll go back to the store with you." Gu Mingxuan also stood up and prepared to go back to the store.

Seeing this, Li Ji hurriedly grabbed Gu Mingxuan's trouser legs, "Eh." Didn't you say you would choose a school with me? I haven't even chosen you and you're leaving, it's too unjust. ”

When Gu Mingxuan heard this, he wiped his nose wryly, hesitating whether to abandon Li Ji's brother.

Before he could decide, Lin Zichen waved his hand and pushed Gu Mingxuan back to Li Ji's side, "You better help my fourth brother." Choosing a university is more important. ”

Gu Mingxuan reluctantly put away the loss in his heart, and sat down again to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each school for Li Ji.

Gu Mingxuan obviously knew every university very well, and some of the questions asked by Li Ji could be answered one by one. can also give his own evaluation of this university, which makes Li Ji very surprised.

"If I hadn't always known that you had spent all these years in Fenghezhuang, I would still think that you had gone through all these schools." Li Ji bluntly expressed his inner shock.

Gu Mingxuan smiled, "I also found these materials through the computer." ”

"Computers? Impossible, right? I used to go to an internet café and try to look something up. But I can't find it at all. Li Ji obviously didn't believe what Gu Mingxuan said.

Gu Mingxuan smiled and said nothing. Of course, the information he knew was obtained through special means, and how could it be found in the search engine of the Internet café. However, Gu Mingxuan didn't plan to tell Li Ji, because even if he did, Li Ji probably wouldn't understand.

Li Ji saw that Gu Mingxuan didn't want to say anything, so he didn't delve into it, but said curiously: "You have been helping me choose a school for most of the day, why haven't I heard you say what university you want to go to." ”

Gu Mingxuan smiled and pointed to his head. "The university I'm going to go to is already in my head."

Besides, with the current technology in China, he applied for that university about the same. If he wants to learn what he wants to learn, he can only go further afield.

Further afield! Gu Mingxuan looked in the direction of the convenience store, and couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart.

Li Ji only felt that the aura on Gu Mingxuan's body changed suddenly, and then it returned to its original state, making Li Ji wonder if he was dazzled.

Li Ji shook his head, lowered his head and continued to look at the profiles of each university. After reading so much information, Li Ji probably had the bottom in his heart, and the next thing was to go all out and get the best results.

The day before the college entrance examination passed uneventfully.

Early in the morning, Lin Zichen stretched his muscles and bones in a good mood, and knocked on Li Ji's door, "Fourth brother, it's time to go to the battlefield." ”

"Here we are." Li Ji dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

As soon as the two of them went downstairs, Li Xin and Aunt Chen each appeared in front of them with a bowl of noodles with a moderate temperature.

"Come, Xiao Chen, Ah Ji, eat the noodles quickly." Li Xin put the noodles on the table.

"Hmm, it smells so good!" Lin Zichen ate unceremoniously.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Li Ji also took the noodles and ate them slowly.

Lin Zichen and Li Ji were eating noodles happily, the noodles were getting fewer and less, and Li Xin and Aunt Chen had expectant expressions on their faces.

"Hmm, eggs!" Lin Zichen looked at the two poached eggs stacked together at the bottom of the bowl in surprise.

"Ah, I've got that on my side." Li Ji also looked at the bottom of his bowl in surprise.

Li Xin and Aunt Chen smiled and explained: "We can't help you in the college entrance examination, so we can only cook a bowl of noodles for you two, hoping that you can get a double yolk egg." ”

The Li Ji brothers and sisters looked at Li Xin and Aunt Chen gratefully, "Aunt Li, Aunt Chen, thank you." ”

There is an unwritten custom in Pinghe County, parents always like to cook a bowl of noodles with two eggs when their children are about to take the big exam, because there are only two subjects in the exam for primary school students, and two eggs are equivalent to two zeros, plus a pair of chopsticks used to eat noodles, which is two hundred points, which also expresses the parents' expectations for their children in learning.

Since they started living at the school, the Li Ji brothers and sisters have not eaten egg noodles with such a meaning for a long time, but they didn't expect Li Xin and Aunt Chen to be chic and cook noodles for the two of them.

"Don't be moved, go to school quickly, it's best to get a good score in the exam." Aunt Chen urged with a smile.

The Li Ji brothers and sisters nodded, checked their stationery and documents, and walked out of the house confidently.

"Fourth brother, come on!" Lin Zichen encouraged Li Ji.

Li Ji nodded, and also said to Lin Zichen: "Come on, too." ”

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

They turned around and walked towards their own schools. (To be continued......)
