The next day, Chen Xu told Secretary Guo in advance that he would get off work at normal time.

When I got home, Chen Ziqi was holding a tablet and was watching TV, complaining, "Your Internet speed is too slow, watching videos is old." ”

Chen Xu put down his briefcase, saw that the room was very clean, and was quite satisfied, so he asked casually, "What do you want to eat for dinner?" ”

"I want to eat button meat."

Chen Xu walked to the kitchen, put on an apron, and said, "Then let's make noodles." ”

"Then you ask a P." Chen Ziqi rolled his eyes.

After a while, Chen Xu came out with two bowls of noodles.

Chen Ziqi looked at this bowl of noodle soup and looked at him with wide eyes, "Chen Xu, you are too picky." Isn't this boiled noodles in plain water? You're going to entertain me with this, huh? ”

"Do you want to eat?"

"Hmph."

Chen Ziqi wrinkled his nose at him, picked up his chopsticks, and muttered in his mouth, "It's the truth, and I don't want people to say it." I'll definitely go out and get some snacks tomorrow and come back. ”

After all, she still scooped up the noodles with chopsticks and ate a bite.

Well?

I took another bite and ate it.

Well.

After three clicks and two clicks, I quickly ate a bowl of noodles.

She drank the last sip of soup, saw Chen Xu staring at herself, and said, "Look at it, I'm just hungry, who told you to come back so late." ”

Chen Xu pointed to the two empty bowls, and then pointed to the kitchen.

"Can't you let me take a break?" Chen Ziqi's shoulders collapsed, and his mouth pouted.

"Hurry."

"You're going to lose your baby."

Chen Xu couldn't bear it anymore and knocked her on the forehead, "As long as you talk too much, hurry up." ”

"Don't hit me on the head." Chen Ziqi was furious.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang, Chen Xu went over to pick it up, turned back to her and said, "I have something to go out for, I'll be back in a while, don't go out." ”

With that, he left in a hurry.

He went downstairs and walked to the side of the road, a black Audi stopped in front of him, the window was down, it was the third uncle.

"Third uncle, Ziqi is upstairs, I'll take you up."

The third uncle looked a little tired and said, "Thanks to you this time." ”

Chen Xu didn't make much politeness, and after he parked the car, he took him upstairs, opened the door, and said to Chen Ziqi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, "Your father is here, you can have a good chat." ”

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

It was a family matter between their father and daughter, and he didn't want to get involved. Just took advantage of this time to go to the owner of the supper stall and sign the contract.

The boss and his wife were already waiting there, showing him the draft contract.

The contract is very simple, just a few clauses, the amount involved is not much, it is not very formal, it is still handwritten.

Chen Xu took a look at it and felt that there was no problem, so he handed over 20,000 yuan to them and signed the contract.

The owner took the money and wrote him a receipt, along with the keys. Said they had bought tickets for tomorrow morning, had to go back to pack their things, and left.

Chen Xu watched them leave, turned his head to look at this small shop, and was a little complacent, in the next three months, this store would belong to him.

Of course, he didn't expect to earn much money in these three months, the main purpose was to accumulate some experience.

Three months later, the Spring Festival also passed. When the time comes, he will be able to go to the Nengjia darts competition, and that will be his chance to get his first pot of gold.

He's already planned all of this.

This shop is very small, only about 30 square meters, in the middle of two houses, strictly speaking, it should be regarded as an illegal building, but the age seems to be relatively old, it is difficult to say.

Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and began to clean, first moving all the barbecue tools aside, which he didn't need.

Halfway through the cleaning, the third uncle called and said that he had left beforehand, and Ziqi would stay here and ask him to help take care of it for a few days.

He didn't say it explicitly, and Chen Xu also knew that the conversation must have collapsed. So I closed the door of the shop and went back to renting the house.

Chen Ziqi watched TV there like a nobody, holding the tablet.

He walked over and asked, "How's the talk?" ”

"Not good." She didn't even raise her head and said, "Anyway, if he doesn't break up with that woman, I won't go back." ”

Chen Xu didn't want to inquire about the affairs between their father and daughter, and seeing that she was in a stable mood and had nothing to do, he went to take a bath. Then, after a few words of advice as usual, he left. Leave her alone here for the night.

This time, he did not go to the company. When he was cleaning the shop just now, he found that there was an attic on it, which could be reached with a herringbone ladder, and there was a folding bed in it that could sleep people.

He went to a nearby supermarket, bought a cheapest quilt and pillow, and slept in the attic of the store.

…………

After one night, the next day was the weekend.

Chen Xu got up early in the morning, went to the nearest market, and started to make big purchases.

After paying the deposit, he only had more than 500 yuan left in hand. However, he still has a quota of 2,000 in Huabei, which is enough to buy ingredients.

At noon, he pulled Chen Ziqi over to help.

"Hey, I didn't promise you to do this." Chen Ziqi arrived at the store, looking at the greasy stove, refrigerator, and walls, his scalp was a little numb, and the whole person refused.

"I'll cook for you, and I haven't counted the food expenses with you yet."

Chen Ziqi argued, "What you said at the beginning was that you cook, I wash the dishes, and you didn't say anything about food expenses." It's too immoral to raise the price afterwards. ”

"Then you'll have to eat takeout from now on."

"Don't." Her face collapsed, "How unhealthy takeaway is." ”

"Do you want to do it?"

Chen Ziqi reluctantly put on rubber gloves and said angrily, "You are using child labor, it is illegal, you know?" ”

The two of them were busy for nearly an afternoon, and finally cleaned the entire store, inside and out.

Chen Xu finally praised her and said, "Good performance, add chicken legs to you at night." ”

Chen Ziqi threw his gloves into the basin, "A chicken leg wants to send me away?" ”

"Add one more ham sausage at most."

"I've seen it, but I've never seen it like this." Chen Ziqi sat slumped on a chair, busy all afternoon, she was so tired that she didn't want to move.

In the next few hours, she watched Chen Xu busy in front of the stove, constantly adding various ingredients to a large pot of boiling water.

"Are you alright?" She sat there, her phone running out of battery, and seeing that he was still busy there, she couldn't help but ask, "I'm about to go hungry." ”

"Right now."

Chen Xu scooped up a little with a spoon, tried it, and nodded with satisfaction, this pot of soup was finally boiled.

In the recipe given to him in 2003, he did not pursue the boiling time, but paid more attention to a freshness. This time, the amount of cooking is relatively large, so it takes a little longer.

He asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Chen Ziqi didn't think about it and said, "Noodles." ”

"Okay." Chen Xu ordered her a bowl of noodles, and after serving it to her, he took out a piece of red paper, wrote it with a big pen, and pasted it at the door.

Although it is only three months, it also needs a sense of ritual.
