When I came back from the hospital, it was just after four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the café on the first floor, there were many guests, and Duan Zilian also saw Qian Meng's busy figure back and forth, after all, Bai Yan and Xu Feiqi were gone, and now she was the only waiter left in the café.

Qin Qiaoyun, on the other hand, is also busy making coffee, drinks and pastries.

There is also Luo Lingling, who sat in a wheelchair, stayed quietly aside, biting the straw, and taking small sips of the drink made by Qin Qiaoyun.

"Huh? Isn't it time for school yet, why did you come back so soon? Seeing Duan Zilian entering the door, Qian Meng, who was cleaning up a table, was surprised, she didn't know that Duan Zilian had taken leave this afternoon.

"I had some things to do in the afternoon, so I asked for leave from school." Duan Zilian replied.

"Oh." Qian Meng responded, and at the same time did not forget to continue to clean up the table.

"Sister Qian, you seem to be working hard......" Seeing that Qian Meng seemed to be very busy, Duan Zi couldn't help but say this.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Meng.

"You speak confidently, remove the 'like', and since I came here at half past two, I have hardly stopped, not only to clean up the table, but also to clean the cups, saucers, spoons, and so on, and only take occasional breaks, which are almost exhausting me."

"That's really hard......" Regarding Qian Meng's complaint, the joke responded with pity.

"There's no way, Fei Fei and Yanyan are gone, and now I'm the only waiter." Qian Meng sighed helplessly.

"Isn't Aunt Qiao planning to hire new waitress?" While speaking, Duan Zilian turned his head to look at Qin Qiaoyun, who was making coffee and preparing desserts in the bar.

In this position, Qin Qiaoyun naturally heard the conversation between Duan Zilian and Qian Meng clearly, and nodded lightly: "Well, with this plan, I will post a recruitment notice outside in two days." Mengmeng, if you have classmates in school who want to work part-time, you can also recommend coming here. ”

"Hmm." Qian Meng responded.

"Sister Qian, do you need my help?" Seeing that Qian Meng was working so hard, Duan Zilian wanted to help him.

"No, although I'm a little tired, I'm actually not too tired, I can still be busy, I'm just complaining." Qian Meng waved his hand.

"Okay then." Duan Zilian touched his nose.

"Pity, if you're okay, play the piano." Qin Qiaoyun said at this time.

"yes, okay." Anyway, I had nothing to do, so Duan Zilian nodded and agreed, and changed her mood by the way.

"First of all, there is no salary." Qin Qiaoyun added with a smile.

"Got it." Duan Zilian waved his hand indifferently.

Although he will only be paid when he works on Saturdays and Sundays, he doesn't mind working for Qin Qiaoyun for free at other times.

After all, Qin Qiaoyun also took good care of him, and did him a great favor by renting the house on the second floor to him at a cheap price of 1,000 yuan a month, which made him feel that he owed Qin Qiaoyun a great favor.

In contrast, just working for Qin Qiaoyun for free is not a big deal, anyway, he is indeed idle and boring.

Sitting down in front of the piano, Duan Zilian saw that Qin Qiaoyun had turned off the music in the store, prepared for a while, and began to play.

I played it for an hour, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Duan Zilian stopped, shook his hand, and rested.

At this time, it was already time to get off work, and people were starting to go home to prepare dinner, so there were many fewer customers at the café all of a sudden.

Finally able to take a break, Qian Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Qiao, it's time, I'm going to change my clothes."

"Hmm."

Qian Meng said hello to Qin Qiaoyun and went to the lounge to change back into his clothes.

Looking at Duan Zilian, Qin Qiaoyun thought of a question: "By the way, Lian, the final of your piano competition, I remember that it seems to be Saturday the day after tomorrow, right?" ”

"Well, the day after tomorrow, tomorrow the principal of our school will take me to the competition venue."

"Then you have to work hard and try to get the first one again."

"Try your best."

"Also, the official website says that there will be a local TV station that will broadcast it in real time, right?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, I'll turn on the TV and watch it then."

"Oh, by the way, if you go to the game on Saturday, that means your work for the day ......"

"Forehead ......" Duan Zilian was stunned for a moment, although Qin Qiaoyun didn't finish speaking, he knew what Qin Qiaoyun meant.

After all, the day after tomorrow, Saturday, was supposed to be his first day of work after the café reopened, but he was going to a competition that day, so there was a conflict.

Looking at Qin Qiaoyun's smiling appearance, Duan Zilian scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Aunt Qiao, is it okay for me to ask for leave the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Yes." Don't tease the joke, Qin Qiaoyun nodded.

After a while, Qian Meng changed back into his clothes, came out of the lounge, and after confessing, left.

After Qian Meng left, Qin Qiaoyun stretched: "Forget it, there are no guests now anyway, I'll go back too, go back early to make dinner." ”

"This is going back? Are you still open that night? Duan Zi looked at Qin Qiaoyun in surprise.

"No, I'm too lazy to come here." Qin Qiaoyun shook his head.

"That's right."

After cleaning up, Qin Qiaoyun was ready to leave.

"Okay, pity, I'm leaving, I'll leave the finishing touches to you, just close the doors and windows, turn off the lights and turn off the power."

"Well, I see, goodbye Aunt Qiao."

"Bye-bye."

Waving goodbye, Qin Qiaoyun walked out of the café, and by the way, he hung a sign outside the café that said "Temporarily closed", and then drove away.

Subsequently, Duan Zilian took Luo Lingling back to the house on the second floor, turned on the TV, and asked her to listen to the sound of the TV.

When he came back from grocery shopping, it was close to six o'clock, and at this time, Luo Xinyan had already returned home from school.

It was almost seven o'clock, Duan Zilian made dinner and ate it with Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling.

At the dinner table, Duan Zilian said: "By the way, Xinyan, the day after tomorrow Saturday is the final of my piano competition, and tomorrow morning, the principal will take me to the competition venue in the next city, so I will not be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

"yes, got it." Luo Xinyan responded casually.

"Also, there will be a local TV station for real-time broadcasting, if you and Lingling want to watch it, turn on the TV and watch it."

"Hmm." Luo Xinyan's response this time has become simpler.

Seeing that Luo Xinyan was not interested, Duan Zipian was helpless, so he ended the topic and didn't say anything more.

In the evening, Duan Zilian practiced the piano in the room, and practiced Li Shuning's piece over and over again, not to mention memorizing it backwards, but at least practicing practice makes perfect, so as to ensure that it is best not to make mistakes during the competition.

After practicing for a long time, Duan Zilian stopped to take a break, played with his mobile phone, and by the way saw if anyone had sent him a message.

Having almost rested, he turned his head to look at the Evolution Truster and Energy Blaster who had been put aside by him, and his heart became slightly worried.

It's been a long time since the last battle with Dark Faust and the crocodile xenomorph was over, and there had been almost two weeks without a large xenobiotic.

After such a long period of calm, he feared that a very large storm might follow.

If in the final the day after tomorrow, Zheng Yulong suddenly came out with a xenobiological beast to make trouble, it would be bad.

After all, as long as you check it on the official website, you can know the time and place of the finals, and it is not impossible if Zheng Yulong suddenly has a whim and causes some trouble.

Therefore, thinking of this, Duan Zilian was very worried, and hoped that there would be no accidents in the finals the day after tomorrow.

Shaking his head, shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, Duan Zilian continued to practice the piano.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Friday.

In the morning, Duan Zilian came to school with a backpack on her back.

At this time, the students in the class already knew that the final of the piano competition was tomorrow, and they also knew that Duan Zilian was going to set off today and go to the competition venue.

Therefore, the students all came over to let Duan Zilian cheer for tomorrow's finals, and they were gossiping, which made Duan Zilian overwhelmed, and he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the students.

Soon, it was time for the morning reading.

When the students were reading aloud, the head teacher suddenly came in and called Duan Zilian out.

"Let's go, the principal is already waiting for you at the school gate."

The head teacher took Duan Zilian to the school gate, where there was a car, and the principal in a suit and leather shoes was standing next to the proud car, and when he saw Duan Zilian coming, he immediately smiled.

"Alright, go ahead, keep it up." The head teacher patted Duan Zilian's shoulder.

"Hmm." In response, Duan Zilian walked over to the principal with his backpack on his back.
