"Are you sure you want fifty?"

Chen Xu had already sat back at the door, and when he heard the man's words, he walked over and confirmed.

"Yes."

A simple smile appeared on the man's round face, "Our company is nearby, and we are all working overtime tonight, I am going to give them some supper to go back, and your face is not bad." ”

Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare too many materials today, there should only be more than 20 copies." ”

"That's right."

The man's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "It's okay, I'll give you twenty pieces of money first, you help me do it, and I'll drive over." ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, scanned the code to pay, and left.

Chen Ziqi waited for him to leave, and jumped up excitedly, "Finally there is a big business, oops, Chen Xu, why don't you prepare more." ”

Chen Xu glanced at the noodles on the table that he had only eaten one bite of, and felt that this person was a little strange, but anyway, the other party had already paid, so let's do it.

The soup he prepared was not enough, and since this soup could not be left for too long, he did not make too much, for fear of wasting it, and to this day, there are about two dozen servings left.

It didn't take long to cook the noodles, and when the man drove a black Volkswagen over, Chen Xu had already made twenty servings, all of which were packed in disposable fresh-keeping boxes, and the soup and noodles were separated, so as not to soak for too long.

Chen Ziqi found a few cardboard boxes to hold these crisper boxes. As soon as the car came, I got into the car.

"Twenty-five in total."

Chen Xu put the last few copies into the trunk and said.

"Okay." The man took out his phone, paid five more portions, and drove away.

Chen Xu announced, "Okay, close the stall." ”

"I didn't expect it to be profitable on the third day. Let's go celebrate, how about singing K? Chen Ziqi proposed with great interest.

"I'm going to work tomorrow."

Chen Xu's words shattered her expectations.

"Oh." She pouted, looking a little unhappy, but she didn't pester.

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this, and said, "Wait for the weekend." ”

"Hooray." Chen Ziqi cheered, his face filled with joyful smiles.

Suddenly, Chen Xu felt that it was actually quite good to have a younger sister, although she would often block you and speak heartily, and occasionally she was quite caring.

Chen Ziqi clapped his hands and said, "When the time comes, go to my house and ask my girlfriend out." ”

Chen Xu saw that she still hadn't forgotten this incident, and while he was a little funny, he also ironed it in his heart, patted her head, and said, "Let's not harm your classmates, no success." It's not that I can't have a girlfriend, I just don't have the energy for the time being. Don't worry about me. Studying hard is the right way. ”

"It's all said, don't touch my head."

Chen Ziqi grabbed his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you understand, while she is still young, it is easy to deceive." When she goes to high school next year and sees more, she won't look down on you. ”

Chen Xu was so angry and funny, "I have such a bad image in your heart, you have to cheat to find a girlfriend?" ”

Chen Ziqi patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "My stupid brother, to be a man, you must be self-aware." ”

"It's not big, it's not too small."

Chen Xu flicked her head, feeling the need to retract what she had just said. Such a sister has nothing but to block people.

…………

It was another ordinary working day, perhaps stimulated by overtime pay, Chen Xu found that his colleagues' enthusiasm for work had increased a lot and their efficiency had also improved. Just after half past six, everyone got off work.

Chen Xu went to the bathroom and changed into sportswear. Today, he wants to take on a challenge and run home.

In fact, the straight-line distance from the company to the rental house is not too far, but the bus will take a detour, and if you run and take a shortcut, it may take faster than taking a bus.

He stuffed his changed clothes, documents and the like into a backpack, put the backpack on his back, tightened the strap, and started running.

I ran for twenty minutes in one go, about half the way. He paused for a moment and continued running.

After running for about half an hour, I arrived near the square where I went to the morning exercise every day, and my physical strength was exhausted again, so I had to stop again.

At this point, it was already close to the rented house, and he planned to walk back.

After all, it will only take about an hour to run the whole distance. You don't have to crowd the bus, but you can also exercise your body. He decided to go down in the future and run home whenever the weather permitted.

If you go to work, you run to the company sweating, but it's not always good, so you still take the car.

He was walking on the path, and it would be dinner time, and there were not many passers-by. I could hear the smell of rice wafting from the houses on both sides, and some voices talking, voices coming from the TV.

Turning an intersection, he walked into a small supermarket and bought a bottle of water. Drink as you go.

Suddenly, he saw a school uniform girl with a schoolbag squatting under a telephone pole not far in front of him, with her back to him.

"It's all at this point, why haven't you gone home yet?"

He felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't have the idea of meddling, and when he got closer, he saw that not far in front of her, there were three variegated kittens, licking and eating in front of a cardboard box with the M logo printed on it.

In the girl's hand, she is holding a Tetra Pak box of pure milk.

On the wall next to the telephone pole, an old-fashioned lamp hangs, the upper edge of which is rusty, and the light bulb below glows golden, illuminating the side face of the girl who is feeding the cat.

In this quiet alley, the scene in front of you is like a picture scroll.

Chen Xu subconsciously slowed down.

As if sensing someone, the girl glanced back at him, stood up, waved at the kittens, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction to him.

Jingle bells.

As he staggered by, he heard a few crisp sounds. Looking back, I saw a small white kitty cat doll hanging on the zipper of her school bag, strung together, and a small bell.

In the blink of an eye, the girl had disappeared into the alley.

When she turned around, he could clearly see that she was wearing white headphones in her ears.

Chen Xu retracted his gaze and was about to continue walking, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was something where the girl was originally squatting. Curious, he went over and picked it up, it was a school card.

Cao Ningning, XX Middle School, Class 3 of the second year.

He has heard of this school, it is a key high school, and it should be more strictly managed, and if the school card is lost, it may be a little troublesome.

He thought to himself, so he chased after him, but he couldn't see the girl anymore.

He shook his head, he couldn't help it.

…………

The girl in the school uniform walked through the alley, and after turning a few alleys, she went out of the main road and entered a community.

After a while, she took the elevator to her door, took out the key and was about to open the door, when she heard the quarrel from inside, and her hand stopped.

She put the keys back in her pocket, walked to the window at the top of the stairs, took out her phone, turned up the volume, and the music seemed to isolate the outside world.

She looked out the window, her dark eyes staring at the night sky, motionless.
