Chapter 41 (Dream)
Unconsciously, it's time to eat again, and it seems to be delivered a little earlier today, of course, people are not machines, how can they be completely accurate. As long as it's not too far away, it's enough, not to mention just a commonplace thing like eating.
"Are there any capers today?"
"Yes, yes, I helped you get some more capers today, and I have to finish the meal today, but don't pour it again."
"I'll finish eating capers."
"Look at Xiao Wu, he eats clean every time, like you, there is so much food left every day."
"How can I compare with him! He's so tall, he should eat more. ”
"I didn't add more food to you, I only added so much to you every time, you can't finish eating, I don't know what is in your stomach, you see you buy snacks to eat." Uncle said, pointing to the snacks in front of the cash register.
"Uncle, I bought it."
"Oh. Eating less snacks is not good for your health. ”
"Well, I'll try not to eat it in the future, and I won't let Qianqian eat it."
Uncle knew that I couldn't eat sugar, probably because I ate too much sugar when I was a child, as long as I touched something that was stained with sugar, my teeth would hurt unconsciously.
In the days that followed, I bought a lot of snacks for Qianqian, although I didn't buy much each time, but I almost had a suitcase in total, and I was never found by my uncle.
Maybe the old man knew it all along, but he didn't say it, maybe it was just because I was there!
I finished the meal very quickly, and every time I ate faster than her, it was so uncomfortable to see her eat to the end.
"What's wrong? I can't finish eating again. ”
"I didn't say I wouldn't finish it, I finished the meal, but I couldn't eat this dish."
"I've only heard that light food is hard to swallow, and I've never heard of light food that is hard to swallow."
"Why don't you come and eat it for me?"
"Qianqian, why are you so rude, and give others the dishes you can't eat, you kid is really spoiled." Uncle said angrily.
"Uncle, it's okay, she's just joking."
"How can a joke be made like this? Don't take what you just happened to heart! ”
"How so!"
In fact, these things are already commonplace for us, but for people at that time, they were so rebellious. Maybe it's because we're just kids, or maybe we're too impetuous.
She finally threw out the dishes in the bowl, maybe this has become a habit of hers, but this habit is not good, in the following days, I have reminded her many times to change the "numbness", but she always ignores it.
Maybe this habit has been ingrained in her life for a long time, just like many people can't quit smoking.
After eating, the uncle packed up the tableware and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qianqian.
"Uncle, he wants to help you cook tomorrow, he's idle here anyway."
"Is it that Uncle's food is not delicious?"
"No, I just want to learn, and it will come in handy when the time comes."
"You said you wanted some food, I'll buy it tomorrow."
"Just buy some potatoes and tomatoes, by the way, do you have eggs in the house?"
"Yes! I haven't finished eating it last time, I don't know if it's broken, and it's still in the refrigerator, so I'll help you buy some potatoes and tomatoes? ”
"Well, you can buy the other dishes yourself, just buy me some potatoes and tomatoes."
"I'll start cooking at about half past ten, and you can come up at eleven o'clock and cook your food."
"I'm sorry for you."
"Where, if you help me cook, I will save a lot of trouble!"
"That's it, go slowly when you go back."
"My old bones can still walk." With that, Uncle walked out of the shop and returned the way he came.
In fact, the uncle brought his grandson to Qidong to play during the summer vacation, saying that he was playing, but in fact, he was here to help cook, and the uncle and I couldn't stay here for long, and when the grandson was going to school, it was time to leave.
Now it's a little easier, the grandson followed his son and daughter-in-law to Zhuzhou to play, but it won't be long before such days, they will come back tomorrow, and for the uncle, there will be one more invisible responsibility.
For the staff in the store, 13~15 o'clock is the time of boredom, because basically no one comes to the store to buy shoes during this time. When they are bored, they have to find a way to pass it, and the best way for them is to chat.
I'm bored and often join them, so I'm not with them again.
"Is the electric car up there yours?"
"You have a problem with your eyes! It was obviously a motorcycle. ”
"Why is it so much like an electric car?"
"There are so many things that look like them, just like the shoes in this shoe store, there are only a little difference, but they are different shoes."
"That's right."
"Why didn't that girl come to play with you yesterday?"
"It's coming! It's just that because you work the night shift, you didn't bump into it! ”
"The mother and daughter come every day, but they don't buy shoes, why do you think they like to visit our shoe store so much?"
"It shows that our shoe store is more attractive, even such beauties can be attracted, and it's good for people to come and shop, doesn't it just give you something to do?"
"They don't come and buy shoes, I don't think they even think about buying shoes."
"It's someone else's business whether people buy or not, but when a customer comes in, the waiter should greet them, which is natural, or I will greet them when they come, lest you say that others only come in and don't buy."
"They're your customers, and if you hadn't been with them for so long the day you first arrived, they wouldn't be coming to our store all the time now."
"Well, let's not talk about it, but I think about it, the bike behind the warehouse seems to be broken, I'll push it out and fix it."
With that, I walked in the direction of the warehouse, which was actually behind the cash register, and I walked into the warehouse and, after a lot of twists and turns, pushed the new-looking bicycle out.
"Where are you going to push your bike?" Qianqian asked a little puzzled.
"The tires on my bike were flat, and the front brake handle was broken, so I went to a garage to fix it."
"Do you know where there is a place to fix the car?"
"I don't know, do you know?"
"I don't know, you go and ask the waiter in front of you, after all, they are locals, they should know a little more."
"Then I'll ask them."
Saying that, I pushed my bicycle towards the door of the store, and I didn't bother to see them chatting happily, so I pushed my bicycle and walked towards the Hongqi Reservoir, because in my mind I vaguely remember that there seemed to be a car repair place over there.
