After buying the clothes, Qian Dun'er couldn't help but ask, "What kind of cake did you buy it?"

Kou Xi tilted his head and said, "If you meet it, you will buy it, and if you can't touch it, it will be difficult to say." ”

Huo Jiaojiao asked her son, "What books are you going to buy in the bookstore?"

"I just want to go and see it, I don't want to buy anything!" Qian Dun'er said honestly: "Our teacher always says that Xinhua Bookstore Xinhua Bookstore, I just want to go and see it." ”

"There's nothing you want to buy, what do you do in a bookstore. It's boring, why don't you go to the park and have a look. Son, you haven't been to the park yet, I'll tell you it's a good place. There are mountains, lakes for boating, and so many animals, but oh my god, I haven't been here for years. Huo Jiaojiao was excited when she remembered the park she had been to: "I don't know if there are any new animals in the park, but I was because of a new lion that year." Mom, that looks so big, it scares the hell out of me. Or the little monkey is interesting, people say that the monkey is the ancestor of people, hey Kouxi, do you think you can?"

Kou Xi smiled and didn't say anything, just listening to Huo Jiaojiao's chatter. Walking to her familiar place, Huo Jiaojiao couldn't help but reminisce.

"Hey, there's a cake shop here!" Kou Xi saw a small cake shop with a fake cake in the window.

Qian Dun'er had never seen it, and when she heard this, she followed Kou Xi and walked in. As soon as I entered the cake shop, there were not many cakes displayed in the window. And the shape of each cake is not good-looking, from Kou Xi's eyes, it is earthy. But for people who never knew what cake was, it was enough to keep their eyes off.

"Waiter, how much does this cost?" Huo Jiaojiao pointed to a super large peach cake and asked, "This is for people's birthdays, right?"

"The cakes here are all for people's birthdays, and the elderly generally use this kind of longevity peach. This cake is fifty-five one!" Fifty-five yuan, mom, it's ridiculously expensive, okay.

Kou Xi's salary is only 80 yuan a month, and most of the month's salary is gone after eating a cake. This must not be bought, Huo Jiaojiao was so frightened that her face turned earthy and shook her head again and again and said to Kou Xi: "Let's go, it's too expensive, don't buy it." With that money, I can buy several old man's shirts to wear!"

Kou Xi pointed to a twelve-inch cake and said, "How much is this cake, we only need a single-layer cake." ”

The waiter said, "If you want this cake, it's twenty dollars a piece." ”

Kou Xi showed a disgusted expression, and the waiter asked again, "When do you want it?"

Kou Xi said: "I have to take it away today!"

The waiter shook his head: "The cake has to be made in advance, and you can come and pick it up at least three days later." You're going to take it away today, the master can't finish it!"

Kou Xi could only sigh and say with pity on his face: "Okay, let's not buy it." ”

The three of them walked out, and out of it came a man dressed in a white chef's outfit and wearing a white hat. Stopped the three of them: "If you three don't dislike it, we have apprentices here." The materials are all the same, but the workmanship is not so fine. ”

Kou Xi was overjoyed and showed me what it was like. The cake master called out the name of the apprentice: "Xiao Wang, take out your ugly cake!"

Then a tall, thin boy came out with a cake that was coated in white and pink cream. There are also colorful frames of green, red, and brown food paint paintings.

Kou Xi didn't look good, she looked at it and felt dirty. But what if she hadn't seen someone before, she looked sideways at Qian Dun'er: "What do you think?"

"It's good!" Qian Dun'er's eyes lit up, he had never seen a birthday cake before. Just smelling it, it feels very sweet and soft, and it must be very delicious when you put it in your mouth.

Even if I haven't seen it before, I've seen it on TV occasionally. Qian Dun'er felt that the real cake was placed in front of her eyes, which looked much better than on TV.

"Then can you write the words 'Happy Birthday to Comrade Huo Dagui' on it?" Kou Xi made a request: "We are very satisfied with this cake, I don't know how much it costs?"

The cake master said, "This is made by apprentices, and usually they can't make it well, so they let them eat it themselves." If you give it to you, fifteen dollars, it's too high, it's too low, and the cost is there. ”

Kou Xi laughed and said, "If you don't give it to us, it's not that you let them eat it." ”

"Oh, it's the same for the half-sized guy to eat the cake and save the meal. The cake chef waved his hand: "One price, twelve yuan, I'll write it for you!"

Kou Xi nodded in agreement: "Okay, twelve yuan, you can help me write the words!"

Carrying the birthday cake, Kou Xi simply walked cautiously. Huo Jiaojiao looked at the things the two of them bought with satisfaction, and felt happy when she thought of Huo Dagui's surprised look after returning home.

Urging, he said, "Hurry home, while you can still buy an earlier car." ”

Kou Xi looked at Qian Dun'er: "There is still some time, let's hurry up and go to Xinhua Bookstore to have a look and then buy bread to deal with in the car." Or just go to dinner, walk around the station and go home after eating?"

Huo Jiaojiao didn't think much and said impatiently: "He's a child, what do you ask him for." Hurry back to the station, take this cake in case you fall, but you will be blind. ”

Qian Dun'er lowered her head and remained silent, looking a little unhappy. Muttered, "If I don't go to the bookstore, I'm here for nothing." ”

"Come for nothing, come for nothing, what can you do!" Huo Jiaojiao's temper came up, and her voice rose several degrees: "Hurry up, don't waste time here." ”

"Oh, sister!" Kou Xi persuaded: "It's a good thing that a child is willing to go to a bookstore, it's better than looking forward to going to a video hall." There is still enough time for the Xinhua bookstore not far from the bus station. Let's take a motorcycle to save time, go to buy a ticket first and then go to the bookstore, and buy a bread pad to cushion your stomach before getting on the bus. ”

Huo Jiaojiao said hatefully: "You just get used to him, now he is becoming more and more disobedient." ”

As Kou Xi said, I took the tram to the bus station and bought a return ticket. With the return ticket, Kou Xi found a place to store the bag and asked how much it would cost to store the cake. Five cents a piece of luggage, Kou Xi looked at it, and it was all placed in a small compartment without squeezing. I paid five cents with confidence, took a small ticket, and then led Qian Dun'er to Xinhua Bookstore.

"Can't you steal it?" Huo Jiaojiao looked very worried: "It costs five cents more, no, or I'll wait for you in the station." I'm not at ease!"

Kou Xi didn't think about nodding: "That's okay, you take the ticket and take out the cake." Waiting for us in this hall and we'll be back before we go!"

Huo Jiaojiao told him: "Don't buy anything for him, it's useless." Just get there and take a look, and come back quickly!"
