If you want to give meaning to the night, you naturally need the moon and stars to embellish it; If you want to give meaning to the earth, you need grass and trees; If you want to give meaning to a mother, you need a child who is connected to her.

Yiyu sat on a bench on the side of the street, watching the occasional moonlight and starlight glitter in the black curtain. Suddenly she didn't know where she was going, and she didn't have a place to go.

The brief warmth with a woman must have been warm, but the residual warmth had long since dissipated, and she could not remember her childhood experience. Occasionally, when I think of where I came from, I am a little stunned, does she have a place to come?

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and the occasional passer-by was in a hurry, and Yiyu sometimes guessed that a woman passing by might not dare to delay for a moment because she had children and her husband waiting for her to return home, and she took a fast pace, even as if she wanted to fly home.

Before she knew it, she was about to step into the convenience store. Yiyu's footsteps braked suddenly, and she wanted to leave quietly, but Zhao Ke called her from behind.

She had to stop, turn her head and smile politely at him. Seeing that she didn't mean to go in, she didn't know what to do at the cash register before coming to her. When he walked in, he saw a bowl in his hand, and in it was oden cooked in the store.

"Now, please eat." He handed the bowl over.

Yiyu didn't reach out to take it, Zhao Ke flattened her hand and gently placed it in her hand. "Be careful of burning, in fact, this has just expired, and I can even be regarded as a borrowing flower to offer Buddha."

Yiyu knew that he didn't want her to refuse when he said this, so he took it calmly. But what about chopsticks? She laughed inwardly.

"Oh! That's right. Zhao Ke walked into the store again as if he remembered something, and handed her a bottle of yogurt when he came out, "This is what I invited you." ”

She took it gratefully and thanked her.

"By the way, do you have any excess expired food in the store?" She asked tentatively.

If she had, she could have thought less about the cost of dinner. She silently prayed in her heart: there must be, there must be.

"I see what you mean. You wait for me. He smiled knowingly, turned and walked briskly into the store.

It didn't take long for him to ask for a small bag of things, "There aren't too many today, most of them have been bought, and I have brought you the rest." ”

I also took it with gratitude, and when I opened it, I saw that it was all some rice balls and bread, as well as a few lunches.

"You eat this every day, huh?" Zhao Ke asked suspiciously, "Why don't you take a few days off and eat something good?" ”

"No, just eat a little when you don't want to cook for yourself." She smiled awkwardly, her book had not been approved, and she had not had time to tell him that giving her these had already helped her a lot, and if she said that again, it was estimated that he would help her even more.

At the convenience store, a voice saying "Welcome" sounded, "There are people who are here." Yiyu reminded him, "You hurry up and go in." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ke responded, and they separated after saying goodbye.

Yiyu put the contents of the bag in the refrigerator, and the time to go to the bar was coming soon, and she was still thinking about whether to go. Chi Jia helped her anyway, should she go to say goodbye.

When I was thinking about it, my mobile phone rang, and it was a call from my aunt. They exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, but Yiyu knew that she didn't just want to say that. She's not someone who calls very often, so she usually has something to say.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my back pain is getting worse and worse, and a lot of housework is not very good, I want to go to the hospital to take a look, there are still two old people to take care of at home, and it's not a matter for me to drag it out like this." Auntie's tone was distressed.

"It's time to check it out." Yiyu nodded, if it is really back pain, then naturally it can't always be delayed, the longer it drags on, the more irreversible the disease may fall at that time.

"I've made some money lately, so I'll call you to see a doctor, and you can let me go for another day or two." Yiyu said.

"Xiao Yu, I have to trouble you like this every time, if it weren't for my back pain, I would never come to quarrel with you, and it won't be easy for you to ......"

"Auntie." Yiyu interrupted her sensationalism, "You already raised me, and it is natural for me to be filial when you are sick." ”

"Well, thanks to you." My aunt didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone after a few words.

It seems that this time is no longer a matter of rent, but to solve my aunt's medical expenses. She thought about the amount of money she was going to call, three thousand? Five thousand?

Forget it, just as much as you can. There are still a few days left until the end of the month, and she should be able to make this money if she persists a little longer.

Seeing that she was going to stay a few more days, Ji Jia sighed that she had made the right choice. "You can't think about it if you leave so quickly."

"I stayed longer this time because I had to earn a little medical expenses for my aunt's treatment." Yiyu said to her.

She immediately expressed regret to Yiyu, "To be honest, how do I think you are all tied up in these things, you are young, but you can't plan for yourself, you see which girl is still as plain as you now." Never mind...... Seeing you like this, no amount of me says it's useless. ”

"But!" She stretched out her hand and pulled Yiyu's face towards herself, "I'll clean up for you, dress up well, maybe you can meet a rich boy." ”

Yiyu smiled and didn't say anything, letting her fiddle with it, she smeared foundation on her face, applied eye shadow, and blush, and seemed to be very skillful. But it's easy to think of it, because her face is covered with extremely delicate makeup every day, and even her lipstick is meticulously applied.

The things that are wiped on the face exude a faint fragrance, and the most ordinary water emulsion used by Yiyu does not have this good fragrance at all, and the fragrance is light and elegant, not pungent.

She looked at her eyebrows carefully, and suddenly asked Yiyu, "Have you put on foundation right now?" ”

Yiyu suddenly remembered the pale cyan under his eyes. She covered it with her hand, "No, some concealer." ”

"What's the use of just applying a little concealer, it's better to apply foundation, I used half a bottle of it, but I bought a new one, it may not be needed, and it's a waste to put it away." Give it to you, and if you use it well, I'll give it to you. She took it out of her bag and applied it to one side of her face with a foundation brush, "Eh, this shade is quite suitable for you, you look white, but your complexion is so dull for some reason." ”

Yiyu laughed embarrassedly, she couldn't sleep all day, and her skin couldn't be compared with the tender skin that Chi Jia had been maintaining. Her skin is white and red, and there is a faint luster, and she has put a lot of effort into it.

"I've got you." Chi Jia finished putting on all her makeup and eagerly handed her a mirror, "Look at how good you look at dressing up casually." ”

She took the mirror, and it was indeed very different from her usual, and the whole person had a complexion and spirit. However, she is not used to such a self, and she is a little depressed when she thinks of her future self. It's so hard for her to get to where she is today.

Someone knocked on the door in the rest room and called Chi Jia, saying that there were customers who asked questions, but they didn't know how to answer, so they asked her to go to the rescue scene.

It didn't take long for Ji Jia to return, and her face showed excitement. "I saw a handsome guy who was so good-looking, and guess what?" She raised her eyebrows mysteriously.

"What's wrong?" Yiyu asked as she wished.

"He asked you to serve him by name! I can't see it, you're pretty good at it, it's only been a long time. Ji Jia pulled her from the stool. Go, go, go. ”

"Who?" Yiyu was confused, she really hadn't been here for long, how could someone specifically let her go.

She was pushed to a private room with a full stomach full of questions, and after calming down, she took a closer look, and the person in front of her was not the gloomy and bewitching man at that time.

However, he seemed to be in a good mood today, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "See you again." ”

Yiyu rolled her eyes inwardly, and it was not a joy for her to meet again. She replied in a respectful tone, "It's an honor for you to come to our bar so often. Here's the menu, what do you need to order? ”

"There's no hurry." He turned the watch in his hand, "You look different today than you did then, I started to think that you don't have a lot of personality, but I didn't expect you to become like everyone else." ”

"I'm no different from anyone else." Yiyu looked back at his eyes and did not evade.

"Okay, you recommend the wine here."

"Nikolaschka brandy with granulated sugar and lemon slices is rich in taste, but not too much to drink. Jack rose, adding lime juice to apple-flavored brandy, is sweet and soaked in a faint fragrance...... "Fortunately, she has prepared it for a long time, and asked Chi Jia about the menu, and after a general memory and a little polish of herself, it can be regarded as a qualified introduction."

"Sounds good, give me a few drinks." He listened to Yiyu's introduction and nodded.

"Okay, wait a minute." Yiyu was about to go out, but he suddenly stopped her, "Also, my name is Lu Zhize, and I will be an acquaintance in the future, don't call me sir." ”

Acquaintance? In this shop, she was just a passerby, Yiyu smiled, not taking these things to heart.

When Chi Jia saw her come out, she quickly came over, "How is it, how are you chatting?" ”

"Please, I'm a waiter, and I'm not going on a blind date. I just want to get a little tip. ”

"At first glance, you don't have a long-term vision, you have caught a golden beetle, and there will be nothing in the future. Do you care about that tip? The hatred on her face is not steel.

"If you are so willing, I can give this gentleman to you." Yiyu said to her.

"Really?" Chi Jia looked excited, but hesitated, "Forget it, I won't rob you." ”

"What can't be robbed." Yiyu couldn't cry or laugh, and felt that the more he told her, the more he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply gave up and left with the mixed wine.

Lu Zhize finally gave her a tip of 2,000, although she accompanied him to talk a lot, but she knew that it was too much. But Lu Zhize didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Yi Yu thought about it, he was a rich man, and this money may be a lot for him, but it may not be worth mentioning at all for him.

As long as you can receive a tip every day, you will soon be able to get the money to send to your aunt.

There are still a few days until the end of the month, and by the next month she will return to the convenience store to work part-time, and occasionally earn some manuscript fees, so that life can get back on track.
