There are many people who like to eat barbecue in Danbei, and the huge demand has made large and small barbecue restaurants almost all over the city. The large skewer shop is located on a small street near the pedestrian street, and the business is not good, and in the evening, customers arrive one after another, and the dozen or so tables outside the store are almost full.

The staff of the large skewer grill are constantly busy, including the "charcoal chief" Bai Xiaoding, the so-called "charcoal chief", who is the person in charge of charcoal burning in the barbecue restaurant, gray short-sleeved T-shirt, khaki cropped pants, colorless thread gloves and a black towel around his neck are his current outfit.

At this time, Bai Xiaoding was half-squatting next to a large charcoal stove at the entrance of the store, holding a small charcoal stove in his left hand and an iron clip in his right hand, and clamping the red-hot charcoal from the big charcoal stove and putting it into the small charcoal stove. The weather was already hot, coupled with the charcoal fire, Bai Xiaoding was sweating, his hair was wet on his scalp, and his handsome face was also stained with sweat mixed with soot, but he didn't care about wiping it, he had to quickly install the stove and send it to the customer, otherwise the boss Wang Da would have to be mad at him again. Just then, someone shouted at him from behind.

"Bai Xiaoding!"

Bai Xiaoding turned his head and looked, his face that had been burned red suddenly turned even redder, not far away, Yan Xiaose, Du Xiaolei, Bian Xiaoxuan, and Zhan Xiaopai stood in a row, and they all cast strange glances at him, as if he was some kind of monster.

“…… How did you guys get here? ”

Bai Xiaoding put down the iron clamp of the charcoal stove in his hand, and walked in front of everyone very embarrassed, he was unwilling to let his classmates see his appearance, especially not wanting Xiaopai to see it, and at this time, he didn't even have the courage to look at her again.

"I said Bai Xiaoding," Yan Xiaose didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, "What are you wearing here?" It's like a flower child, how ugly! ”

"I ......" Bai Xiaoding was embarrassed when he heard this, "I'm ...... work clothes"

"Hey Yan Xiaose, can you speak?" Du Xiaolei glared at Yan Xiaose, "Why do you look good in what you wear?" Like a pheasant, if I had a shotgun, I would have knocked you down with one shot! ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand fashion!" Yan Xiaose raised his hand and gently stroked the "airplane style" that was fixed hard by the hairspray, and today he wore a black, yellow and red floral shirt, black skinny pants, and white high-waisted tourist shoes, dressed as a social youth.

"Xiao Ding, you are really good, you come here to work and don't report to the group, you will be missing for so many days." Bian Xiaoxuan said.

"That's it," Yan Xiaose echoed, "It's too unorganized and undisciplined!" Believe it or not, we're going to expel you? ”

"Hey, you two don't count!" Du Xiaolei shouted dissatisfiedly: "The little faction is the leader of our eighty-three small group, okay?" ”

"Bai Xiaoding, you have lost weight......" Zhan Xiaopai saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said to Bai Xiaoding lightly.

"Really? I lose weight as soon as I get to summer, my mother says I have a bitter ......summer," Bai Xiaoding said, and finally raised her eyes to look at Zhan Xiaopai, and found that her eye circles were slightly red, and the root of her nose suddenly felt sour, and she lowered her head again.

"It's weird," Bian Xiaoxuan glanced at Xiao Lei beside him and said, "Why don't some people have a bitter summer?" ”

"Hey Bian Xiaoxuan, who are you talking about, looking for a draw?" Du Xiaolei slapped Bian Xiaoxuan.

Bian Xiaoxuan hurriedly smiled: "I just said it casually." ”

"That's not going to work either! Don't blame me for being rude to you with such insinuations! ”

"I said that you two are okay," Yan Xiaose said with a smile, "You have to quarrel and find another time!" ”

"Hey Bai Xiaoding!" The classmates were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a shout, everyone turned their heads together, and saw a black-faced man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old and more than one meter nine tall standing at the door of the store and yelling at Bai Xiaoding: "You are on the charcoal, the guests are waiting!" ”

"Here we go!"

Bai Xiaoding agreed loudly, turned his head and pointed to the only empty table left at the door and said to Yan Xiaose: "It's all full, you can sit at that table, you can eat whatever you want, I'll treat you today!" ”

"No!" Yan Xiaose waved her hand, "It's not easy for you to make money, or I'll invite you!" You get busy first. ”

Bai Xiaoding didn't say anything more, turned around and walked to the big charcoal stove and got busy. Yan Xiaose walked to the table designated by Bai Xiaoding first, and sat down on the small bench with a big smile, Xiaolei Xiaoxuan Xiaopai also sat down, Xiaopai's eyes stayed on Bai Xiaoding, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I didn't expect Xiao Ding to find such a job," Yan Xiaose shook her head disapprerovingly, "It's dirty and tired, how much money can you earn?" I don't know what he thinks. ”

"That's it!" Bian Xiaoxuan just said two words, and as soon as he looked up and saw Du Xiaolei staring at him, he immediately changed his words, "That's it...... Social practice, it's all the same! ”

Yan Xiaose glanced at Du Xiaolei and said jokingly: "Master Xuan, are you there?" Where do you think you're a bit of a master now? It's become a little Xuanzi at all! ”

"It was meant to be!" Bian Xiaoxuan still wanted to defend herself, but Du Xiaolei had already burst out laughing.

"Our little group hasn't been together for half a month, right? Speaking of which, I am the deputy of the regiment and have the responsibility, so I should contact you more! I just think, although we have graduated from high school now and don't need to study together, but our small group can't be separated, we want to be good friends for life, what do you say? When she said this, Yan Xiaose's eyes were aimed at Zhan Xiaopai, but she didn't react, obviously still immersed in her own world.

"I'll tell you," Yan Xiaose paused and said, "Yesterday, I went to her house in order to find Qian Xiaoying, but there was no one at home, this guy is really missing!" ”

"Belch," Du Xiaolei was curious, "How do you know where Qian Xiaoying's family lives?" ”

"The address she gave me before."

"Hey!" Xiao Lei exclaimed, "She really looks at you differently, the whole world doesn't know where her family lives!" ”

"What's this, her home is not the Palace Museum, I'm afraid of losing things...... I said, why don't you have a waiter to say hello? Sit down, and I'll go in and see what's good here. Yan Xiaose said and stood up and walked into the store.
