Chapter 21: Becoming an Adult on Your Own
The timing of their arrival was a bit coincidental, the last pot had just been sold out, this pot was frying, and there were not many people in line, only seven or eight.
Just like last time, as soon as Wei Ye and the others came, the people in line silently retreated.
With the experience of the last time, Zhou Duochun signaled Li Nan to hurry up and refund the money to the few people who had already paid and didn't get the cake.
Li Nan counted and accepted five, and there was still room left for them in the pot that was freshly fried, and the money was all in the pocket, and there was no reason to quit.
So he looked at Lu Dongming with a smile, "Brother Dongming, fifty will be good for a while, or you find a place to sit, and I will send it to you later." ”
The expressions of everyone present were a little subtle, and they all looked at Li Nan.
Li Nan was well-behaved, looking at Lu Dongming with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
"......" Lu Dongming.
It's embarrassing, although he grew up here, he doesn't like much in this area.
Especially if you don't like children, you are about to become a baby.
Suddenly being shouted by Li Nan like this, I felt really awkward, but I was a little happy, what's going on?
The arrogant tone softened unconsciously, "Eh, what's your brother, who is your brother!" …… Forget it, you don't need to send it, just wait for me to make a trip, how long will it take? ”
You said that he is too, what kind of competition with a few children! It's not pretty good.
Li Nan's face was full of emotion, "It will be fine in about ten minutes, Brother Dongming, you are really a good person!" ”
The good man Lu Dongming waved his hand, and he was praised so much that the whole person was a little fluttery.
"......" Wei Ye.
Lu Dongming's stupid appearance was simply blind, and Wei also looked at Li Xia condescendingly, "Old Wei noodle stall, you will personally send it over later." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Lu Dongming, "Let's go!" ”
Li Nan's smiling expression immediately changed, like a kitten that suddenly exploded, looking at Wei Ye vigilantly and fiercely.
Wei Ye only lifted his eyelids to look at him, and turned around indifferently.
Lu Dongming came back to his senses, and slapped himself in his heart, "Look at what, hurry up and send it over!" ”
After speaking, Lu Dongming hurriedly followed Wei Ye.
Li Nan was so angry that the whole person was a little bad, Zhou Duochun was also worried, Li Yang was a little scared, but Li Xia didn't seem to be aware of anything, and was still calmly busy with the work in her hands.
"Our Xiao Nan is really powerful, he has a sweet mouth and can speak, much better than when I first started setting up a stall." Li Xia smiled and praised Li Nan.
When she first started setting up her stall, she didn't know how to open her mouth, and the business was all up to luck.
"Sister!" Li Nan was not happy to be praised at all, is it time to praise him?
Li Xia took the fried cakes to the iron rack and drained the oil, and smiled at him soothingly, "It's okay, just a few steps, I'll just take a trip." ”
What can the other party do in broad daylight.
These days, except for the first day, after the other party came to the door to fight once, they didn't come back, but Li Xia and Zhou Duochun could see them every day.
The area opposite the cotton mill is very prosperous, and there are no less than 20 small pendulums in the morning, and there are all those who sell breakfast and vegetables.
They often act together as three people, changing a breakfast stall every day to eat and drink, and the money is not given, but there is no behavior of smashing the stall and making trouble to prevent people from doing business.
Everyone is not afraid of them, and even, most of the time, the two sides seem to be quite amicable and affectionate.
At this moment, the two of them went to Lao Wei's noodle stall, passed by other stalls, and the stall owner warmly greeted them for breakfast.
"They're not supposed to be bad guys." This is the conclusion that Li Xia came to after observing for several days, and seeing that Li Nan was still not at ease, he simply gave him advice.
"If you really don't feel at ease, you can quietly inquire, if you can't afford to provoke it, it's a big deal that we won't come here to set up a stall."
There are other factories in the town, and the workers are no less than the cotton weaving factory, but the cotton weaving factory is the closest to them, and it is also the most peaceful.
Li Nan's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and burrowed into the crowd.
Zhou Duochun led Li Yang to Li Nan's position, wrapped the freshly fried cake and handed it to the waiting guests, "Just let Li Nan go, it will be fine, right?" ”
What if you upset those people!
Will there be anything, Li Xia doesn't know, and it's also false to say that he is not worried.
But Li Xia knew that she couldn't detain Li Nan and Li Yang's siblings by her side because of the worry of the unknown, and not let them go out to do business.
Li Nan is already twelve years old, and the situation of their family is destined to make her unable to treat her younger siblings as children all the time.
The three of them, siblings, must become adults who can take charge of themselves as soon as possible.
"It's okay, just go and ask about the situation, Xiao Nan is very clever." Li Xia smiled at Zhou Duochun, "You don't need to charge money for change for the time being, Sister Duochun, you and Yangyang squint on the tricycle for a while." ”
Next, Li Xia had to make the fifty loaves, and there was no need to receive new guests for the time being.
Zhou Duochun nodded, but she couldn't sleep anymore, so she only sat on the tricycle with Li Yang in her arms, waiting for Li Nan to come back.
When Li Nan returned, fifty pumpkin pies were almost ready, and he was a little excited, with a relieved expression on his face.
"Sister, Sister Duochun, it's okay, I've inquired, they're very good." Li Nan ran out of sweat, his eyes full of yearning, "The cotton weaving factory is so peaceful here, all because of their town." ”
The town's economy is prosperous, and there are a lot of chaos, and there are often fights and brawls for various reasons.
There are many people in the mixed society, and they will naturally gather in piles, and it is inevitable to divide the territory, and the places in front and behind the doors of each factory to do business have the most battles.
In the past, the cotton weaving factory was particularly chaotic, but it was better in the past two years, and in Lixia's memory, in the next few years, several other factories in the town were full of lawsuits, and the cotton weaving factory was relatively quiet.
"Did I misunderstand them?" Zhou Duochun asked.
Li Xia glanced at Li Nan, who nodded again and again, "It's not a misunderstanding, they did look like they would smash the stall at any time that day." ”
Li Nan paused, the yearning that rose in his heart slowly collapsed, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Anyway, it's just a matter of messing with them less." Zhou Duochun nodded, she didn't think it was counted, who knows how many benefits they received from others behind their backs.
"Whether a person is good or bad, his wind evaluation can only be used as a reference, not as a conclusion." Li Xia rubbed the back of Li Nan's head, which had grown two spins, "You have to learn to think and judge for yourself." ”
After speaking, Li Xia packed up the cake and went to the old Wei noodle stall.
The business at the noodle stall is just right, Lu Dongming is wearing an apron and greeting guests, even if he is greeting guests, he is a little fierce, but fortunately, everyone looks accustomed to it.
Uncle Wei also sat in the corner, eating rice noodles slowly.
"I didn't see that I couldn't be busy, give it to my brother." Li Xia wanted to hand over the cake to Lu Dongming, but Lu Dongming refused to accept it, and raised his chin to signal Li Xia to give it to Wei Ye.
Li Xia went over and put the bread on the table, "Fifty-six cakes, the extra six are for delivery, do you need to order them?" ”
Wei also put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth slowly, before looking at Li Xia.
"I heard you're selling a house."
