Chapter 11: I Treat You to Noodles

As if she was running too quickly, Ning Chaoxi panted slightly when she ran to him, the corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled: "Chen Xun, what a coincidence." ”

Chen Xun didn't expect to meet her here, and was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, her home was in the community in front of him, and it was not strange that she would appear here, but he still blurted out, "Why are you here?" ”

"I just went to tutoring, and when I came back, I saw you across the street there." Ning Chaoxi pointed to the side of the road.

"Tutoring?"

"Well, yes, it's in the training institution in front of me, making up math, my mother just gave me the name."

Chen Xun glanced in the direction she pointed, as if he had the impression that there was a training institution over there, he squinted his eyes slightly and nodded.

"What about you? Coming out to buy something? Ning Chaoxi looked down at the bag he was carrying.

"Hmm."

"Are you going home now?" Ning Chaoxi looked up at him.

Chen Xun lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on her face, and he shook his head: "I still have to go buy something." ”

"What else to buy? I'll go with you. Ning Chaoxi said.

Chen Xun's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this: "Aren't you going home?" ”

Ning Chaoxi waved his hand: "Don't worry, anyway, my homework has been written, and I don't have anything else to do when I go home except for review, I'll accompany you for a while." ”

Chen Xun didn't refuse when he heard her say this, and asked her to come with him, Ning Chaoxi walked beside him and asked him out loud: "Is it heavy?" Would you like me to mention it for you? ”

Chen Xun changed the bag to one hand: "It's not heavy." ”

Ning Chaoxi turned her head and looked around a few times, she hadn't been to this place for more than a year, when she was in elementary school and junior high school, she often followed Ning's father to Qianguan Village to buy vegetables and buy some groceries, but since she was in high school, Ning's mother didn't allow her to follow her father to buy vegetables anymore.

"I haven't been here for over a year, and the street has changed a lot."

When Chen Xun heard her say this, he raised his eyes and looked ahead, and said faintly, their family had only recently moved in, and he didn't know what the change in her mouth meant.

After walking for about five minutes, Chen Xun led her into another alley and into a grocery store.

Ning Chaoxi stood still in front of the grocery store, looked up at the name of the store, and remembered that this was the store where Ning's father used to bring her to buy things in the past, and she also knew the owner inside, and she was a fellow villager with them.

Chen Xun went into the grocery store and asked the boss for a pound of brown sugar, a pound of white sugar and some other things, and weighed them on the weighing scale, and the boss calculated it and told him: "A total of twenty-five yuan." ”

Chen Xun was about to pay when he heard Ning Chaoxi's voice coming from behind him: "Boss, I haven't been here for more than a year, why has the price of the things you sold here increased so much?" ”

"Yo, it's Xiaoxi." The boss was surprised, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've become beautiful again." ”

Ning Chaoxi touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Where." ”

"Boss, this is my classmate, can you give him a cheaper?" Ning Chaoxi rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Of course you can." The boss is also a cheerful person, and he waved his big hand and said, "Young man, you are twenty here." ”

"Thank you, boss, you are such a good person, business will definitely get better and better." Ning Chaoxi said sweetly.

"You little girl, I haven't seen you for so long and you're still so good at talking." The boss was instantly happy after hearing her words, "I heard your father say that you will take the college entrance examination the year after tomorrow?" ”

"Well, yes, I'm a sophomore in high school this year." Ning Chaoxi responded.

"The results are not bad, right?"

"So-so."

"Look at you modest, your father used to tell me how good his daughter's test results were, and he was proud."

Chen Xun stood aside and patiently waited for Ning Chaoxi to greet the boss, the two of them confided a few words in dialect from time to time, with a sincere and friendly smile in her eyes, it was easy for people to get close.

Ning Chaoxi chatted with the boss for a few minutes, and then said, "Boss, I still have to leave beforehand, and I'll help you next time." ”

"Good Ratcha."

Ning Chaoxi said to Chen Xun, who was beside him, "Let's go." ”

Walking out of the door of the grocery store, the two turned back to the street just now, and when they continued to walk forward, Ning Chaoxi saw that there were still people selling groceries on the side of the road, I don't know what I saw, she suddenly pointed to a place excitedly and said to Chen Xun: "Chen Xun, look, the aunt who sells pajama pants is still there, my dad helped me buy a pair of pants from her before, it was only ten yuan, but it was cheap." ”

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to glow, and she looked left and right that there were no cars on the street, and walked to the opposite side, Chen Xun followed behind her.

The aunt is not only selling pajama pants now, but also selling other clothes, Ning Chaoxi took a few casual glances at her stall, and found that the current clothes style is not as good as before, and the price is twice as expensive.

"The little girl will take a look at it casually, and choose whichever one she likes, my clothes here are cheap and good-looking." The aunt grinned and told her.

Ning Chaoxi smiled at her, and before she could speak, she was pulled away, and Chen Xun pulled her away from the stall: "Don't buy clothes here." ”

Ning Chaoxi touched her nose, she didn't plan to buy it, she just felt the novelty and came to take a look, but when she heard him say this, she couldn't help but be curious: "Why?" ”

"The clothes she sells are all defective products stolen from the factory, and then she goes home to process them herself, without being audited, and the materials and fabrics are not up to standard."

"How do you know?" Ning Chaoxi looked at him and said.

Chen Xun looked at her with a blazing gaze when she looked at herself, and coughed lightly: "Listen to what my mother said." ”

"I see."

At the time of the meal, the restaurants on both sides of the street wafted out the aroma of food one after another, they passed by a noodle restaurant, and the fragrance of ramen overflowed from it, Ning Chaoxi's eyes lit up when she smelled it, she licked her lips and said, "It's the taste of beef ramen!" I haven't eaten it for a long time, Chen Xun, let me tell you, the beef ramen sold in this store is the most authentic, and the taste is superb, you haven't eaten it yet, right? Let's go, I'll invite you to eat noodles! ”

Chen Xun didn't move, and when Ning Chaoxi was about to go in, he saw the two bags of things he was carrying, and said with a sneer: "Oh yes, I forgot that you have to go home." ”

"Do you want to eat?" Chen Xun asked her.

"Think, think, think." Ning Chaoxi nodded vigorously, and his big eyes blinked.

Chen Xun looked at her greedy face, pulled his lips and smiled: "I'll go home and put things, you go in first and wait for me." ”

"Okay, I'll go in first and take a seat." Ning Chaoxi hurriedly responded, and waved his hand at him again: "Go back quickly, I'll wait for you." ”

Chen Xun curled the corners of his lips, his eyes shining: "Okay." ”

Fortunately, there was still the last empty table left in the noodle restaurant, which was a two-seater, Ning Chaoxi hurriedly walked to the empty seat and pulled out a chair and sat down, the proprietress came to order with the menu, Ning Chaoxi said to her: "Hello, I want two bowls of beef ramen, thank you." ”

"Do you want to add spicy?" The proprietress made a note in her notebook.

Ning Chaoxi didn't know if Chen Xun ate spicy food, she thought about it and said, "Don't add it." ”

"Okay." After the proprietress finished memorizing, she put the notebook in her apron and shouted to the kitchen: "Two bowls of beef ramen, no numb or spicy." ”

After shouting, the proprietress turned around and said to Ning Chaoxi: "You have to wait patiently, the beef ramen is not so fast to be prepared." ”

"Okay, that's okay."

After ordering the order, Ning Chaoxi sent a text message to Ning's father, saying that he had met his classmates at noon and would not go back to eat. Ning's father quickly sent her a text message back, telling her to pay attention to her safety outside and send a message when she was ready to go home.

After the text message was sent, she put away her mobile phone, it was okay left and right, Ning Chaoxi took out the test paper she had just written in class and studied the topic, and soon there was a person on the other side, she thought it was Chen Xun at first, and just raised her head with a smile: "Chen Xun, you ...... so soon" She smiled, and a strange man stood in front of her.

The man combed his non-mainstream hairstyle, wore a floral shirt on his body, the buttons were not buttoned, revealing the white vest inside, wearing shorts and slippers, his expression was dragging, he looked like a gangster, he whistled at Ning Chaoxi, pulled away the chair opposite her, grinned, and said with a smile: "Little sister, there is no one here." ”

Ning Chaoxi tightened the schoolbag on his body, stared at him vigilantly, and frowned: "I'm sorry, there is someone in this position." ”

The man looked around left and right: "What about people?" I didn't see it. As soon as the words fell, he sat opposite Ning Chaoxi with a big grin, took a pair of disposable chopsticks and played with them in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you can't lie at a young age, you don't have to be afraid, my brother is not a bad person." ”

He said while his eyes lingered on Ning Chaoxi's face and chest, the weather was hot today, she only wore a light long sleeve, at this time the man's gaze did not shy away from looking over, which made her feel uncomfortable for a while, Ning Chaoxi picked up the schoolbag and blocked it on his chest, and said with a cold face: "Sir, I'm sorry, there is really someone in this position, he will come over later, please sit in another position." ”

The man was also cheeky, and he smiled: "Little sister, you are really joking, can you see for yourself where there is a place for me to sit?" ”

couldn't resist him, Ning Chaoxi shouted directly at the counter: "Boss." ”

The proprietress answered and came over quickly, and Ning Chaoxi said to her: "Boss, there is already someone sitting in the place where this gentleman is sitting, my friend is on the way, and he will come over soon, can you let him sit somewhere else?" ”

The proprietress looked at the full number of customers in the store and wondered: "Little girl, you see that there is no other place in this store, when can your friend come?" ”

"Soon after."

"How fast is it? Maybe my friend hasn't come here after eating a bowl of noodles yet. The man grinned and knocked his chopsticks, "Boss, bring me a bowl of marinated noodles." ”

"Good Ratcha." The proprietress said to Ning Chaoxi: "Little girl, you will be at a moment, the guests at the other table are almost finished, and there may be a place for your friends." ”

After she finished speaking, she left, Ning Chaoxi frowned, and heard the man opposite say, "Little sister, you are a high school student, what grade are you in?" What school did you study in? ”

Ning Chaoxi ignored him with a calm face.

"Tell my brother, maybe I was in the same school as you in high school." The man laughed, and his eyes looked at her more and more unscrupulously: "Hey, speaking of which, none of the girls in my high school years were as beautiful as you, and their bodies were so well developed. ”

Where has Ning Chaoxi heard such a tone of speech. play, her cheeks were flushed, she couldn't stay any longer, she was about to leave, and a person came over beside her.

Chen Xun walked to their table with long legs, his slender fingers knocked on the table, and his eyes glared at the man coldly: "I'm sorry, this is my position." ”
