Act I: This World Chapter 38: Yiting Reunites
"Huh? Didn't you eat? Lingyi hesitated.
"Not yet, I came from the suburbs, stole my grandmother's only little money, took the bus and then reversed the subway, and came over, there will be no money at all." Yiting smiled stupidly.
It was already late autumn at this time, and Ling saw that Yiting was not wearing a coat, and was still wearing thin long sleeves in early autumn, so she must have walked in a hurry.
"Wait a minute" Reichi opened his schoolbag and took out his phone, which was hidden in the corner and covered in books.
"I brought this, but I don't know the payment password, if I can find one that can scan the code, I can buy something to eat." Spirit.
Yiting smiled and looked at the mobile phone in Ling's hand, and seemed to see the big chicken leg on the TV.
"I'll take a look at the red envelope my mother gave me." Lingyi quickly opened the mobile phone WeChat to check the balance.
"There's still 100 yuan, hehe, it's enough for you to have a big meal with us." Lingyi was very happy.
Ling glanced at the CFC fast food restaurant on the corner.
"Shall I invite you to eat CFC? Two more ice creams. Lingyi quickly searched his mind for the delicious food in his store.
"yes, okay." It seemed that Yiting was swallowing her saliva.
On a late autumn afternoon, the two children held hands and jumped towards the CFC store.
The happiness of this moment is so pure and beautiful, without a trace of dust.
Reichi, she doesn't seem to have to think about exams anymore, and annoying questions like class noise.
Yiting doesn't seem to have to think about all kinds of disgusting and frightening memories of her stepfather.
With a jingle of bells, the two children pushed open the glass door of the CFC.
I saw a young waiter, who said in standard and professional words: "Welcome"
Seeing such a standard greeting, they replied with a "thank you" and the two girls stuck out their tongues at each other, and then the two quickly walked inside.
Entering the hall, the two looked around, and finally found the location of a window, there was no one in that place, but the leftovers of food were still on the table, obviously not having time to clean up.
Lingyi and Yiting came to this seat and stood next to it.
Ling Yi put down his schoolbag and said to Yi Ting, "I'll go find my aunt to clean up, you wait here." ”
Yiting nodded.
Lingyi walked over to the cleaning aunt who was wiping the table.
"Auntie, can you help us clean up that position?"
The aunt took one look at it and said, "Okay, I'll go over and get it right away, and I'll go over after I finish this row." ”
After communicating with the cleaning aunt, Lingyi walked to Yiting again.
"Let's go order first." Lingyi said.
"Okay." Yi Ting just turned around and caught a glimpse of Ling Yi's schoolbag: "It's okay to put the schoolbag here, right?"
"It's okay, it's all books, who wants it? If I lost it, I didn't have to learn it. Reichi replied.
"You, it's still like this, people can't envy it, and you always look forward to losing it." Yi Ting smiled and glanced at Ling Yi and said.
"Alright, let's go order food." The two lined up one after the other.
When they finally arrived at Lingyi, they saw that the boy who had just welcomed them was already standing in front of the cashier and began to serve.
"Welcome," Yiting whispered to Lingyi in her ear.
Ling Yi smiled and responded to Yiting.
The young boy attendant said, "Little sister, what do you want?" ”
Ling Yi heard this and seemed to be in a close way, and the boy glanced at him and said, "We are not your little sister!" ”
The boy didn't seem to be angry, but still said with a trademark smile, "Okay, classmate, what do you want?" ”
Ling Yi continued: "I'm not your classmate!" ”
The boy sighed and said, "Okay, hello customer, what do you need?" ”
Lingyi's face turned bright: "By the way, this answer is correct!" ”
The boy smiled awkwardly.
Lingyi didn't notice his changes at all, and Yiting and Lingyi stared at the close-ups of various foods on the big screen.
"I want two chicken thighs, two fried chicken wings. Two chicken tenders, two hamburgers, I want a cod burger, how about you? ”
"I'll have a chicken leg burger"
"A cod burger, a chicken leg burger, by the way, a big bag of fries, two mashed potatoes, 1 purple potato pie, what pie do you want?"
"I want a peach pie"
"A purple potato, a yellow peach, by the way, two more cups of Coke, ice, and two strawberry sundaes......"
"And ......," Lingyi Balabala said a bunch of things.
The boy quickly tapped the keyboard and counted the amount "128 in total."
After finishing the spirit, I looked at the balance in my WeChat, and it was obvious that the money was not enough. Ling Yi was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little embarrassed.
It seems that the big boy is very good at observing words, "Two customers, you are so separated, it is better to order a big set meal." We've now launched a new couple package, plus half price for the second sundae package, and two limited edition cartoon toys, which is more cost-effective, so the total amount is 96, and you have all these things. ”
As soon as Ling heard the name of "Couple's Package", the goosebumps on his back were about to rise.
"Two customers, the name is not important, the important connotation is the food, isn't it?" The boy looked at Ling Yi and Yi Ting with a serious face.
"Whatever, it's delicious, what's wrong with the couple, it's all for two anyway." Yiting said.
"Then let's live like this," Ling Yi embarrassedly handed over the payment code of his mobile phone.
I only listened to the jingle and scanned the code.
"Two customers, this is your receipt, please take the receipt and wait next to you to order food." The boy said.
Ling Yi took the receipt, stuck out his tongue at Yiting, and frowned: "Couple package, hey, ......" is quite disgusting.
"Don't worry so much, just have enough money." Yi Ting said next to Ling Yi with her feet on her feet.
I haven't seen Lingyi grow much taller in a year, but Yiting doesn't seem to have grown much, so she has to stand on tiptoe and talk to Lingyi to live quietly.
In a few moments their meal came out.
It took two full plates to fit, and a little more would not fit enough......
"You two children, you are quite small, but the amount of food is not small, and you eat quite a lot." The boy's emotional intelligence at the moment is afraid that it has fallen to zero, and it seems that it is starting to be rubbed on the ground.
Lingyi quickly glanced at the hamburger boy again: "What's the matter with you?" It didn't cost you money, and this is not what you recommend! ”
"But it's your choice." The boy seemed to have a taste for teasing.
I saw that the store manager next to him seemed to cough lightly twice, and the boy immediately handed over the thing, "Your meal is complete, please use it slowly." ”
The two children walked towards the place with two large plates of food, and the table was now cleaned up.
"Order as much as you want, what do you do, how can you persuade customers to be less, we are a profit-making organization, not a charity." The store manager whispered.
"I think they look like they're stealing from adults?" The hamburger boy said.
"What's that about you?" The store manager glanced at the corners of his mouth, "Work hard, don't worry about it!" ”
The hamburger boy looked at the window and stopped talking, "yes, what's the matter with me." ”
At this moment, the sunset by the window fell, and the two children were sprinkled with gold.
Seeing that Yiting didn't seem to have eaten for a long time, she looked at the food on the table and said, "Then I'm welcome, I'm quite hungry." ”
"Hurry up, you're welcome?" Lingyi picked up a chicken wing.
Yiting also began to gobble up.
Holding a hamburger in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand, he began to chew on it in large gulps.
Ling Yi and Yi Ting ate happily.
Maybe she was in too much of a hurry, burgers, fried chicken, Yiting choked, she still instinctively beat her chest with a small fist.
"Have a drink!" Lingyi reminded.
This Yi Ting let go of half of the hamburger in her left hand, picked up the drink and took a sip. After a few moments, it was finally back to normal.
Ling Yi looked at Yi Ting like this, as if he hadn't eaten several meals.
"It's been a long time since you've eaten, eat slowly, eat slowly, and I'll give you this one too." Lingyi said.
"Well, I've never had enough, I'm ...... I haven't eaten since yesterday. Yiting responded with a big mouthful in her mouth.
"What's wrong? Is grandma bad for you? Ling Yi asked.
"Grandma is a vegetarian and rarely cooks meat." Yiting pouted.
"But my mother said that we are growing our bodies, and we need to eat more protein and drink more milk. Does protein know? It's about eating more meat! Lingyi emphasized.
I saw Yiting smile bitterly, "Return protein, return meat!" It's good that I'm alive, that bastard is here again! ”
"Bastard, who?" Ling asked, and as soon as she spoke, she understood that it was the devil's stepfather who came again.
"He came again, he came to grandma, and he wanted to beat grandma, and grandma couldn't deal with it, and he said that my custody was his. said that there was no evidence, and that the court had not yet decided, and that he was fine. But he obviously bullied me, how can he still say that if there is no evidence, it doesn't count! Lingyi: Why don't adults believe what the children say, and still believe him! I sneaked out, and my grandmother is old, and her ears are behind and she can't hear clearly. Grandpa is long gone, and we can't beat that bastard at all. I can't go back to my grandmother, and if I go again, she will be crippled by him. Yiting stopped eating, her eyes helpless.
"Then the police don't care about this bastard stepfather?" Reichi asked.
"Say it's not enough evidence!" Yiting said.
"What evidence is insufficient? Should we find evidence, the police should lock up this bastard...... If you bully a child, no one can cure him? Reichi's small chest kept rising and falling because of resentment, and his voice was an octave higher.
The hamburger boy was also affected, and looked up at the window.
Yi Ting's face was even more pale and gloomy: "I...... I can't prove it now, and I heard that there is no evidence, so I didn't file a case. I also did the injury examination in the hospital, but it seems that he has found a relationship, and the injury examination certificate cannot be obtained. Grandma said that this kind of thing was embarrassing, and grandma wouldn't let me talk about it. ”
