The fifth day of Kiyoichi's disappearance. On the morning of April 26.

It's easy to guess how the Xia family spent this week, but it doesn't matter.

Even so, the world still runs unrelated to me.

After pushing the roller shutter door with a push rod, the warm morning light poured in, and the cute little witch changed into an apron.

The work is divided into 10 steps in a daily process. The first step is to punch in, after changing clothes, turn on the test machine according to the operating procedures of the dry cleaning machine, check the pressure gauges of water, steam and compressed air, and check the distillation box. Of course, this project is carried out depending on the absence of the boss.

The second step is to check and sort the clothes, which must not be wrong. First of all, it is divided according to the color, followed by the texture, and finally the thickness and washability, if there are obvious stains, it must be specially treated, so that a batch of dozens of pieces of clothing will be divided into five to six washing batches, a pot of seven or eight pieces to a dozen pieces and so on.

The next step is to remove the ornaments that are easy to fall off and mark them, and of course this work will be carried out depending on the absence of the boss.

Of course, because it is a tetrachloride dry cleaning machine that is not properly operated will be in great danger, so the above work has nothing to do with Qingyi. Instead, it was handed over to Master Li, who was in his forties.

As for Seiichi's job, he naturally entertained guests at the front desk. When the guests are not there, they hang up ironing clothes and do all kinds of recording work at the counter.

Even the ironing work must be very detailed, and there are fixed rules for all the sequences from the collar to the cuffs, so you must not mess up, and you will count the numbers one by one while ironing in order.

At ten o'clock in the morning, humming a little song and intoxicated by the sound of steam and the unique smell of the fabric after heating, Qingyi ironed a total of five or six woolen coats, made sure that there were no wrinkles, put them on dust bags and hung them back on the hanger, turned off the power and pushed the garment steamer into the corner, and his forehead was already full of sweat.

I felt thirsty and was about to go to the water dispenser to refill the water when the phone rang.

Probably the phone call of the customer who asked to come to the door to pick up the clothes, and picked up the microphone without hesitation.

"Hello, Toho Laundry."

However, it was a familiar voice that called.

"Have you had enough?"

Qing glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

"Hello! Toho laundry! She said in a more endearing tone.

"Know you're diligent, have you had enough?" The other end of the phone said helplessly.

"Well...... What are you doing? Kiyoichi put his arm on the counter and looked at the crowd outside the door.

"It's nothing, just after being scolded, my father said that if I can't find you again, I will be expelled from the Xia family."

"Ah, is it? There's no clothes to wash, goodbye, guest. He hung up the phone with a smirk.

But which side is wrong? It's normal to always rely on other people's words, and it's normal to be scolded, just like a vexatious child.

To say that it is to grow up like a baby who does not care about the world, that is, to stay away from civilization. In other words, a way of life that is completely outside of school and society.

These topics are like "never considered" questions for Seiichi. On the other hand, once she thinks about this problem, maybe she is not Xia Qingyi.

She was so slowly stunned that someone came behind her to interrupt her thoughts.

"Sure enough, I still can't completely sever ties with the world." Seiichi sighed with his back to him.

"Don't worry, since your brother asked me to protect you, don't think about so much peace of mind."

"But this kind of guy who is favored by unrequited love is really wolf-hearted, and he doesn't even look at me." Kiyoichi pouted outside the door.

"Sort of." Shen Yuan seemed to be leaning against the wall unacceptably.

Indeed, for this kind of topic, Shen Yuan is also the injured party.

How to put aside the ending first, the sympathy and the five-day working partnership still made the two have a good feeling for each other.

"Well...... Whether you accommodate me or not," Kiyoichi sipped his tea thoughtfully, "as a result, the city's clothes are generally gray. ”

Shen Yuan felt bored and nodded slowly, this matter came out from the people of other cities, and it was indeed like treating the people of Qiantang City as fools.

"Hey, I'm serious about you, what is the relationship between you and my brother?"

"Summer cold? You think too much, he just said that he would help me say nice things in front of someone. After Shen Yuan said this, he returned to the depths of the store.

Qingyi still didn't feel satisfied, and frowned.

In general, the part-time job and self-study in the recent period have been pressed together, and I may be a little tired.

In addition, if he stays here for one more day, his brother will be questioned by all parties for one more day.

I always feel that I have fallen into this situation and I am inseparable from a woman.

That's cousin Xia Ke.

Because on the morning of five days ago, after Xia Han learned the news of Qingyi's disappearance, he contacted Xia Ke as soon as possible, and for some reason Xia Ke had a good relationship with the Security Bureau, and intercepted Qingyi's GPS signal as soon as possible, and intercepted Qingyi within half an hour.

But I don't know what conditions Xia Han and Xia Ke exchanged, Xia Ke actually contacted a laundry shop for Qingyi to rent a short-term rental house, and also helped Xia Han hide it from his family.

Now that May Day is just around the corner, and the midterm exam will start the day after tomorrow, compared to not going back, pre-exam preparation is the biggest problem for Qingyi.

I had planned to reduce my workload and save my energy for self-study time in the evenings, but the business of the laundry before the holiday was better than before, and it turned out that there were more things.

From what he said just now, it can also be heard that Shen Yuan is also the object of involvement, in short, the next squad leader will definitely be out of action.

"Ahhh......h I feel like I'm bored again......" tapped his finger on the counter.

"It's true that it's not easy to work part-time." The pick-up clerk who had just arrived at the door of the store put a bag of clothes on the counter.

Then he took off his helmet and put down the battery car key, leaned back against the counter and looked out of the door together, looking very seriously in troubled expression.

At this time, it can be seen from every detail that Weiyang is indeed tired.

"It's not that I was moved to tears by Sister Weiyang, but you are really more sentimental than me."

"Well, it's better to say what you think." With that, Weiyang looked at the wall clock.

It's almost lunchtime.

"Okay, what's for lunch? I'll go back to cooking first. Weiyang turned his head.

"Isn't it Sister Weiyang, haven't you been eating takeout these days? You still don't want to break your habits. ”

"It's okay," Weiyang looked at his phone and put on a pitiful gesture that I was not easy to do, "Anyway, I should try my senior sister's pasta." ”

Seiichi stared at her in surprise, as if he was looking at an abstract artist's drawing.

"I envy your academic performance, but Sister Weiyang, you always have a weakness."

The hint is still obvious.

"Really, I don't have any talent? Will I try my best? ”

Weiyang emphasized very seriously.

The little witch was not moved, and squinted at her.

"Well," Kiyoichi shook his head helplessly, "Since you're so persistent, then I'll barely go back at noon." ”

"Listen to Xia Qingyi, I feel bad like everyone else to put up with your poisonous tongue, so you must also have the consciousness of being my guinea pig."

It's too much.

"What's more," Weiyang continued to add without waiting for Qingyi to refute, "I only have one year left to stay here, and if I don't seize this opportunity to exercise my self-care ability, how can I mix when I go abroad?" ”

This kid is still scolding me, my mother has a falling out with the family and has to come to serve you, what is there to scold me? Is.

"That's not what I meant......" Kiyoichi stuck out his tongue innocently.

Weiyang continued to mend the knife, "My original glass heart is about to be crushed into glass slag by you." What else do you want to do with someone as kind to my sister? Well? ”

"Well...... That's right. Qingyi could hear that what Weiyang said was heart-wrenching.

But.

"If you don't have enough time (to learn cooking), then it's good for you to stay one level Sister Qingyi, I will persuade the teacher to let you be in the same class as me, and I can still do this."

As if to punch Kiyoichi's nasty smiling face, the counter was slammed hard.

The long black hair began to be messy, and even had a tendency to stand on end.

His face was also a little gloomy, probably because he ate too much ash outside.

"Love to eat or not." After glaring at him like this, Weiyang turned around and left the laundry abruptly.

"Wait until you get off work, Sister Weiyang, let's go grocery shopping together at night."
