"Ugh."

Yanqing was a little regretful, he really felt that Chen Xu opened a noodle shop here, which was a bit buried. By the way, I also want to make some investments. Unexpectedly, the other party has this attitude.

Chen Xu glanced at him and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about doing this for a long time, and after the New Year, I may have to change careers." ”

"Isn't it?" Yanqing was taken aback and said, "Don't, if you don't do it, where are we going to have supper?" ”

"That's a real problem."

Chen Xu said, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he made another bowl.

Yanqing waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the second half of his sentence, and when he made the third bowl, he couldn't help asking, "And then?" ”

Chen Xu looked at him in surprise and said, "It's not my problem. ”

“……”

Yanqing felt a little heartbroken, and said faintly, "I finally know why your sister is going home." ”

…………

Tomorrow is the weekend, there are more customers, Chen Xu closed the stall earlier than usual, and calculated today's turnover, a total of eight hundred and ninety-five yuan.

He was happy in his heart, removing the cost, the profit was at least about six hundred, and they all said that the catering profit was high, and it was true. Learning to cook from 2003 is really a wise choice.

If you can maintain this passenger flow every day and go home during the Spring Festival, you can make a net profit of about 30,000 yuan, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure on your family.

Since this week, many regular customers have brought their friends here, and the customer base has been growing steadily. Especially after Chen Xu allowed customers to buy barbecue from the barbecue stall next to him, there were obviously more customers coming.

He closed the roller shutter and went back to the rented house.

Early the next morning, he went to the morning luck again.

For the past three days, I have been staying in the hotel, and I go to the gym to run in the morning.

Half a month of exercise has made great progress in his physical strength, and he can run for 40 minutes at most. It's not a normal jog, it's a little faster.

By this time, his progress had slowed down, and he didn't have the feeling of leaps and bounds that he had before.

He wasn't disappointed, that's normal, and if he continued to progress endlessly, he would soon become superhuman, which would be magical.

He had already considered that in the summer, when the economic conditions were better, he would go swimming every day, and it was said that the exercise effect was better and it did not hurt his knees.

At seven o'clock, he finished his morning routine, wiped off his sweat with a towel, and walked in the direction of the rented house.

He habitually came to that alley, the weather was fine today, the thick dark clouds had dispersed, and it was rare to see the sun.

Walking in the alley, the sunlight that shines obliquely is blocked by the surrounding high-rise buildings, and only occasionally leaks out in the gap between the high-rise buildings, shining on the walls of the houses, forming a golden spot.

Chen Xu saw the girl squatting in front of the telephone pole, a little surprised, today is Sunday, the first semester of the second year of high school, it should not be to the point where she has to make up classes on Sunday.

Today she was carrying not a school bag, but a smaller one.

As usual, he didn't alarm her, and walked straight over.

The girl noticed someone passing behind her, turned around, stared at his back for two seconds, took off her headphones and stood up, trotting after him.

Chen Xu watched her emerge from behind him and stopped in some surprise. But he saw her staring at him for a few seconds, and he wondered if there was something dirty on his face.

The girl finally retracted her gaze, put down the small backpack behind her back, unzipped it, and took out a bag, "Give it back to you." ”

"What?"

He was puzzled at first, but when he took it, there was a thin blue coat in the bag, and then he remembered that he had draped it on her last time.

He's been busy for the past few days, and he's forgotten about it.

The coat was visibly washed and neatly folded, and there was a thinner bag inside.

"And this."

The girl took out a one-dollar bill from her pocket.

Seeing that she looked serious, Chen Xu swallowed back the polite words on his lips, took the piece of money folded in pairs, and said, "You still remember." ”

"Thank you."

The girl carried her bag behind her back and said, "I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Chen Xu smiled, "No need, it's all trivial." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't want to owe anyone a favor." Then, taking out a very small wallet from his pocket, he unzipped it, pulled out a piece of twenty yuan, and said, "I only have so much, I can only treat you to breakfast, can you have cheong fun?" ”

"I really don't need to-" Chen Xu said, seeing the light in her eyes dim, she lowered her head, refolded the money, and stuffed it back into her wallet, her heart flashed with a throbbing.

He remembered that when he was in middle school, his parents were out of town, and they had very little pocket money every month. On weekends, I didn't even dare to go to play basketball with my classmates because I didn't have the money to buy drinks.

He doesn't want his classmates to look down on him, prefers to be alone, and he doesn't participate much in class activities.

The girl's eyes flashed just now, making him seem to see himself at that time. I was shy in my pocket, and I finally mustered up the courage to show my kindness, but it was also very hurtful to be rejected by others.

He said, "One bowl may not be enough, I have a lot of rice, at least two bowls." ”

The girl raised her head, her face slightly stunned, and then, showing a smile, "Okay." ”

…………

The breakfast shop was just down the road and not far from the elementary school. A breakfast shop like this, which is located next to an elementary school, is usually very busy, especially before students go to school.

It's the weekend, so there's a little less crowding, not a bunch of people around like usual. There are also a few empty tables inside.

Chen Xu used to occupy a table, and the girl went to buy breakfast.

After a while, she came over with three portions of cheong fun, two portions of egg cheong noodle, and one portion of pork cheong fun, all topped with sauce that was about to overflow the edge of the plate.

"Do you know this owner?" Chen Xu asked a little curiously.

When Chen Ziqi lived here, he had to eat rice rolls in the morning, and he came here to pack, and the portion was not so much. He had just seen the girl say a few words to the boss.

"I used to go to elementary school there." The girl pointed to the entrance of the elementary school opposite, "At that time, I came here to eat every day. ”

"No wonder."

Chen Xu tore open a pair of chopsticks and ate them.

He was indeed hungry, and soon, he ate two plates of rice rolls. took the tissue, wiped her mouth, and saw that she had just eaten half of the plate.

The girl put down her chopsticks and said, "Have you not eaten enough, or would you like another one?" ”

Chen Xu shook his head, "No, it's just right, eating too full in the morning is not good for the stomach." ”

The girl didn't insist and continued to eat.

Chen Xuguang sat and felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, she didn't wear a school uniform today. Even so, he felt that the gazes cast around him were a little strange.

She was also a secondary school student.

He said to himself, pretending to observe the décor of the store, his eyes sweeping the ceiling and walls.

After a while, the girl also finished eating, took out the tissue she brought with her and wiped her mouth, and seeing that he didn't look here, she picked up her mobile phone, pointed the camera at him, and secretly took a photo.

The corner of Chen Xu's eyes spotted her movements, suspecting that she was taking pictures, and after thinking about it, she still didn't debunk it, and said, "After eating, let's go." ”

The girl picked up the small backpack, stood up, and when she went out, she asked him, "By the way, my name is Cao Ningning." ”

"Chen Xu."
