After the beginning of spring, the weather will be good, and the days with long days and short nights will also come.

Qingchen and Duan Yi said a few times to him not to come all day anymore, but he said yes, but in fact, he still left work early every day, and sometimes he stayed in the store with work for a day as before. There are good and bad, a handsome guy sitting on that is a scenic line, which attracts a lot of customers, and naturally attracts a lot of girls.

He rejected four or five girls a day at most, and then he got bored, so he simply asked Chu Chu to take a marker, a blank piece of paper, and wrote, 'I already have a girlfriend, don't disturb.' '

Since then, no one has come to bother him, and the business in the store has gone down a bit, but it has no impact on Qingchen, the previous loyal customers are still there, and there are some new customers in the back, so don't worry about those girls.

"Mr. Zhou." Qingchen was a little surprised when she saw someone coming, he hadn't contacted her for a long time, and she thought that Zhou Liang would no longer order desserts.

He nodded, "As usual, is it okay to come and pick it up on the weekend?" ”

"Of course." She laughed, "You haven't been here for a long time, I thought you..."

Realizing that something seemed wrong with what she had said, she stopped talking and smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Liang smiled, "Some time ago, the company was busy, and I didn't have time to prepare these gadgets for everyone. ”

"If you're busy, why don't I send it to you on the weekend?" She went there once and remembered the company address.

Zhou Liang shook his head, "Don't bother you, I'll leave first." ”

"Walk slowly."

Qingchen watched the man walk out of the door, and when he retracted his gaze, he saw Duan Yi looking thoughtfully at the place where Zhou Liang had left. As soon as the mobile phone rang, Qingchen looked down and saw that Zhou Liang had already transferred the deposit.

Qingchen bit his lip and said a word.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't need to pay a deposit, you can pay after you get the goods, I believe you."

"Sister, is that person here again?" Hatsuchu came out of the inner room and asked her.

She nodded,

"It's pretty handsome." At the beginning of the boast.

She nodded again, she was quite handsome, and she looked like a decent person.

"How was your last blind date?"

Chu Chu wiped the cup and replied casually, "What can I do, just like that, he is in a hurry to get married, I am not in a hurry, and I will break up." ”

Qingchen was surprised, "I'm not in a hurry to get married, so what kind of blind date are I going to go on?" ”

"Just because I'm not in a hurry doesn't mean my family isn't in a hurry."

Suddenly, a plan came to mind, and Qingchen: "Mr. Zhou looks good, do you want to get acquainted?" ”

Rubbing the hand of the cup, Chu Chu shook his head,

"Mr. Zhou seems to be an extraordinary person, and people should still be self-aware."

Quite a bit self-deprecating, Qingchen glanced at her, didn't say anything more, lowered his head and counted the accounts, the WeChat interface was clean, and Zhou Liang didn't reply to the message.

On the way back, Qingchen rarely didn't say much, and Duan Yi looked at her frequently, but didn't get a response.

"Are you too tired today?"

"Ahh No, it's fine. Qingchen came back to his senses.

"Why are you absent-minded, don't speak, have something on your mind?"

Sure enough, she still couldn't hide it from him, and it took a few seconds for her to speak.

"I just remembered some things in the past, do you know why Chu Chu came to work in my store?" She asked.

Duan Yi: "I don't know. ”

Chu Chu was five years younger than her, and she was only twenty years old when she first came to work in the store, and at that time, Qingchen's shop had just opened, and the previous waiter was dismissed, and she was anxious to have a girl, and Chu Chu came to the store at that time.

On the day she came, the store was a little busy, Qingchen asked her to sit first and entertain the guests by herself, and when she was so busy, Qingchen saw that Chu Chu took the initiative to take the menu to order the guests, and her good feelings arose.

Qingchen left her for dinner, Chu Chu was in a hurry, coughed, Qingchen brought her water and patted her back, causing Chu Chu's tears to come down in strings. She panicked at first, thinking that something was wrong, but then gradually calmed down.

The first cry was quiet, with a wooden face, which reminded Qingchen of himself not long ago. It's not because something really happened, it's just because it's been too long for someone to finally care about themselves and can't help it.

After crying for half an hour, the rice in the disposable lunch box was hard, Chu Chu stopped crying, choked up and said sorry, rude, stood up in a panic, and pulled out two old baba ten yuan from the broken wallet.

"Food, enough, is it enough?"

Qingchen didn't answer, Chu Chu was a little panicked, and he was busy looking for his wallet. At that moment, all kinds of emotions were surging in Qingchen's heart,

"Looking for a job?"

Chu Chu nodded sluggishly,

"Have you done this before?"

She swallowed hard, "I've washed dishes, wiped tables, worked as a waiter, but never made desserts or coffee." ”

"How old are you?"

"Just turned twenty."

Qingchen groaned for a while, "Come to work tomorrow and negotiate the salary, is this okay?" ”

Soft-hearted without warning, work that comes without warning.

After the surprise, she nodded desperately, "It's okay if you don't have a salary, I don't care." ”

As if it was the first time he had met such a person, Qingchen smiled, and Chu Chu smiled embarrassedly.

"The rice is cold, I'll give you heat, you wait for me for a while."

When I came out again, there was no one left, and the two pieces of ten on the table were nestled against each other.

She has to admit that she is often soft-hearted, but she meets good people, including Chu Chu. As she thought, Chu Chu is indeed a girl with a similar background to herself.

My aunt's family, whose parents divorced and was abandoned to sons and daughters, was always the one who picked up the leftovers at the beginning, and the clothes, shoes, toys, and even food were all left over by my cousin.

However, she never complained about these, because her aunt's family was able to support her well, so she didn't care much about these material aspects, but later after the college entrance examination, her aunt said regretfully that she couldn't continue to raise her to study.

She is not the heroine in the novel, she can have a golden finger, her college entrance examination results are not ideal, and there is a basis for her aunt not to continue to study for her.

Chu Chu, who had already seen the sophistication of human feelings, smiled and coaxed his aunt to be happy, saying that it was okay if he didn't study for this grade, and he could go out to make money for his younger brother to study, and after hearing this, my aunt laughed, which was a smile that Chu Chu had never seen in herself.

Her aunt praised her for being obedient and sensible. She nodded with a smile, but in fact, her nails hurt in her palms.

It is true that her academic performance in junior high school was not good, but she firmly believes that as long as she keeps studying, she will have a way out. At the beginning, I didn't hate it, but what could I do, and then I accepted that I really wasn't that material, and if I couldn't read it, I couldn't read it, there would always be another way out.

She began to wander away, sending money back to her aunt's house every month, and occasionally receiving a phone call or two, all of which said that her cousin was going to cram school recently and couldn't come up with so much money, so she asked her to pay for it.

"Didn't I just hit it at the beginning of the month?" She asked.

The other end snorted a few times, suddenly raised his voice, and spoke in a dialect,

"I've raised you for so long, and now I want to fool my family with such a little money, do you still have a conscience? Your brother is waiting for this money to go to school, you are an unfilial daughter, do you want him to be as useless as you and suffer all the eyes? I've heard about what you're doing outside, so don't come back and get sick with your family. ”

Foul words can't crush her, it's good to use less money, everything that can be sent back, and she survived to the end of the month with a box of instant noodles.

It's not that she didn't think about cutting off contact, the thread that can hold her heart is the cousin, the cousin who secretly gave her cake, she is no longer promising, and she can't let him suffer anymore.

The money was sent as always, but there was never a phone call again.

Two years have passed, and Chu Chu has returned to Tong City, and my cousin has left Tong City to go to college in other places.

"Sister, if you want to come back in the future, you can come back, you don't have to send money to the family anymore, I can support myself." My cousin called her before leaving.

People are always nostalgic for the old, and even if they don't like it anymore, they still come back. After coming back, there was no imaginary embarrassment, my aunt should have been persuaded by my cousin, or maybe she was old, and she could always think of her relatives when she saw Chu Chu.

All in all, after finding a job at the beginning of the year, her life went smoothly.

will call her aunt's family family, and the family has begun to care about her various lives, the only thing that has changed is her cousin. After graduation, he didn't go back to Tong City, and the communication with Chu Chu was zero, and he only occasionally heard his aunt say how he worked, how much money he earned, and he was not happy.

The family not only urged Chu Chu to go on a blind date, but also urged his cousin, Chu Chu didn't know how he responded, but he didn't care much, people will always be estranged.

The top of his head was covered with warmth, and Qingchen looked at Duan Yi sideways.

"Isn't it too long?"

She asked about stories, and they couldn't be counted as stories, after all, they all happened in real life.

He shook his head, his face dimmed in the light, and he didn't speak. Qingchen turned his head to look out the window, and didn't ask him what he was thinking, saying that it was an accident at first, and the two of them were not much better, the only good thing was that they met each other, and they could call each other salvation.

But this is already rare in the world.

Today's road to Palm Springs seems to be extraordinarily long, and the moment the car stopped, Qingchen thought it had arrived, but in fact, it was just Duan Yi who stopped on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?"

His hand was taken up, placed in Duan Yi's hand and rubbed it constantly, turning around and crashing into his dark eyes full of tenderness.

"Unhappy about the past?"

Qingchen snorted, strictly speaking, it was not unhappy, it was just a feeling of loss, I had survived that time unconsciously, and it was inevitable that I would feel sorry when I saw the same person again.

"Look at me."

Qingchen looked up at him again.

"That's all in the past, it's just us now, and it's good at the beginning, I allow you to be sad for a while, but not for too long, because I'll be unhappy if you're sad."

"It's not a good thing to have two unhappy people in your family, right?"
