The large trees planted on both sides of the street stand tall in the mud, and the spring sun is very good, bright but not dazzling. Through the leaves scattered on the ground, it forms a dappled light and shadow.

Yiyu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, there was such a big tree outside the house, but the time left in his memory was very short. Later, there were only red lacquered and rusty iron gates and cramped yards. It was her aunt's house.

She always slows down on such a road, and always feels that this way it seems that she can get closer to the big tree when she was a child.

She woke up early, but in fact, her sleep was not good, no matter how tired her mind was, she still had trouble sleeping.

In the past, when someone saw her, they would notice the faint cyan color under her eyes and ask her if she was not resting well. Later, she didn't want to explain any more, so she carefully covered it up with concealer.

The last time Bai Yi'an saw her, he said that she had tired eye sockets. Her eyes were tired, she had never heard anyone else use such an adjective, but she had already tried not to be noticed, and he finally discovered the problem. But she didn't want to explain any more, and he just mentioned it, without getting to the bottom of it.

Yiyu sent the manuscript he had accumulated and written on weekdays to Bai Yi'an's mailbox.

The things you write are a bit pessimistic and easy to make people visually tired, and the things I have sorted out for you may allow you to change your style, so that you can better pass the draft. Bai Yi'an replied to her.

At that time, she was almost fired for a similar reason, and the editor said that she had to adapt to the preferences of readers and write articles that were in line with the current trends. But she didn't have many good experiences, she thought of many methods, but she couldn't write something that met the requirements.

She took the things that Bai Yi'an had sorted out with her, and took them to look through them carefully when she was working at the convenience store, and she seemed to have an idea in her heart, but as soon as she picked up the pen, she didn't know how to write.

"Daze." Zhao Ke patted her.

Yiyu looked at the time, Zhao Ke came very early recently, and sometimes the replenishment happened to come, so he would take the initiative to move it.

She and Zhao Ke became more familiar, and gradually chatted together to pass the time.

"You don't have to be so early." Yiyu watched him diligently sort out the change in the cash register.

"I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well come early." Zhao Ke took the scattered coins and counted them carefully.

"You can hang out with your friends."

"Friends? I don't have any friends. Zhao Ke paused for a moment and said with a smile, with a hint of self-deprecation in his smile.

"Me too." Yiyu didn't ask, "You seem to carry this canvas bag every day." ”

"Oh, this is my mother's sewing, I'm used to it, so I'm too lazy to change it."

"That's right." Yiyu lowered his head, his voice a little low.

Zhao Ke seemed to notice her changing mood, "Actually, it's because I'm too slow to heat, so I don't have any friends, what about you?" Because of what? ”

"Oh, I, I used to have friends, but I haven't kept in touch with them now."

"I suddenly want to ask, are we half friends?" Zhao Ke put the various numbers of coins in place and asked with a smile, but this time the smile was sincere.

"Forget it. Don't we also talk like friends now? Yiyu was infected by his laughter, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated a few times, and Yiyu took it out, it was a message from Bai Yi'an.

I got a chance.

What chances? Yi Yu went back to the past.

The news is not clear, and I will go to the convenience store to find you when the time comes.

Mysteriously, Yiyu pressed the screen out, although he was puzzled, he didn't want to continue thinking about it.

Yiyu walked to the cash register, and Zhao Ke handed him a bowl of oden, "Eat, make dinner, and then you can get off work." ”

She looked at the clock on the wall, "This...... It's not the expiration date yet. ”

"I treat you to food, you don't have to pay."

"Thank you." Yiyu took it, and there were boiled very soft radishes in the bowl, which could be spread out with a light twist of chopsticks, as well as all kinds of meatballs.

"This bowl is very generous, I will invite you to eat something else from this convenience store in the future." She put the balls in her mouth.

"Done." He smiled and put the food the customer bought in the microwave to heat it up.

The time at the convenience store flies quickly, and she is happy to observe the different taste habits of customers. Some office workers like to take refreshing tea drinks, while some drivers prefer refreshing drinks such as Red Bull. Some people always carefully select different kinds of bento, while others hurriedly grab a few rice balls and pay the bill.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the table with his knuckles.

"Hello." Yiyu subconsciously spoke, and when he looked up, he found that it was Bai Yi'an.

"I said I was going to come over and talk to you, don't you remember?" He played with the chewing gum jar next to the cash register.

Yiyu looked around, there were very few people now, and he seemed to have deliberately picked a free time to come over.

"I'll give you a drink." Yiyu walked to the freezer, hesitated for a while, didn't know his taste, didn't make a choice for a long time, she was about to ask, Bai Yi'an seemed to already know her question, "Coke is good." He said.

Yiyu took him to the convenience store side of the place where people could eat and sat down.

"The Literature Department wants to open a column for travel notes, and I have already applied for it, and the two of us will complete it." He unscrewed the lid of the Coke, and the sound of steam erupted from the mouth of the bottle.

"But I don't know how to." Yiyu shook her head vigorously, not only did she not write about it, she had hardly traveled, and it was impossible for her to write about her true feelings.

"Don't worry, the editor has already informed us of the location of the trip, and we will reimburse the cost of the trip."

"Travel?" She felt she had misheard.

Bai Yi'an nodded, "Otherwise, how can you write it?" ”

"But what about the convenience store job?"

"You can ask a colleague to help you, or negotiate with your boss."

"There are only two of us, it's open 24 hours a day, and if he helps me, unless he doesn't sleep every day."

"I really didn't think it through, but this opportunity is quite rare, why don't you think about it and see what the solution is."

This is indeed a great opportunity, and if the travel journal is made into a book, she may gain a lot of readers, and the remuneration she will receive is not comparable to that of a few articles. However, if you don't have a job at a convenience store, you may not be able to secure it in the future.

She thought about it for a long time, and she couldn't think of a feasible way, and she suddenly thought of the proverb "You can't have both fish and bear's paws", isn't this the situation now?

"What's upset?" Zhao Ke didn't know when he appeared next to him.

"I got a chance to write a book, but I had to go on a business trip."

"Wouldn't that be great? What are you worried about such a good opportunity? ”

"What about a convenience store job? If I ask you for help, I'm afraid you don't have to conjure up a clone. ”

"What if...... I really have a way. He raised an eyebrow and turned his face to look at her.

"Huh?" Now Yiyu was really scared.

"If it were another time, I might not be able to, but it's summer vacation soon, and I have a cousin whose mother asked me to find her a chance to practice in society. Isn't that what it is? ”

Yiyu was about to say thank you, but Zhao Ke opened his mouth again, "But there is one condition." ”

"What?" Her heart hung in her throat again.

"I have to pay her for those days." He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yiyu's nervous expression.

"Of course." Yiyu thought that he was going to put forward some difficult conditions, and let out a long sigh.

It seems that if someone is willing to help, it can be both a fish and a bear's paw.
