Chapter 40: Final Preparations
"Come out!" Xiao Yi shouted into the alley, as if he had known that someone should be hiding here, and only a moment later, the sound of clothes and shooing came from behind the abandoned pile of debris not far away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Strange brother, it's so late today!"
A slightly immature voice came out, and then a little radish head who was only six or seven years old appeared, wearing the most common clothes of the poor families in this area, who were slightly shabby, and seemed to be snotty because of the cold temperature in the autumn evening, but the bright eyes on the face of the flower hanging on the dust looked stubborn and energetic, and at this moment he was looking at Xiao Yi vividly.
"How many times have you said that it's good to just call your brother, who asked you to add 'strange'!" Seeing the little boy jumping in front of him three times and two times, Xiao Yi's calm face immediately put on a smile, and he directly stretched out his hand to give the other party a burst of headaches.
Although the child who reacted quickly instinctively turned his head sideways to unload a lot of energy, Ren Ran hurriedly covered Xiao Yi's head with his hand and shouted:
"You're a liar, you said last time you wouldn't want to play me again!"
"Last time, you said you wouldn't call me weird brother anymore!"
"It's called, what can you do to me!"
"What can I do with you, keep playing you!" After speaking, Xiao Yi suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to hit the little radish head again, so frightened that the other party jumped back two steps.
"And said no, it's okay to give strange children good food. Mom said, such people are weird people who don't have a good heart, of course you blame your brother!"
Yes, he was originally classified into the ranks of 'Strange Shu Millets', Xiao Yi deliberately pretended to be angry with a straight face after listening to it:
"Well, since you said I didn't have a good heart, then it's certainly not a good thing to invite you to eat a week's snack, I'll leave now!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, and now the little boy couldn't play a little temper anymore, so he immediately caught up with Xiao Yi and pulled the sleeve of the 'strange brother' who was still denounced as a bad guy just now and didn't let go.
"No, I won't let you go! You said that you haven't left anything you want to bring today!" he said and reached into the semicircular pocket in front of Xiao Yi's clothes to touch it, because he remembered clearly that Xiao Yi had taken out delicious food from here a few times before, but with his wisdom, he still couldn't think of why a large bag of things could be taken out of such a thin pocket of clothes, so naturally he couldn't take out any of the snacks he was looking forward to.
"I can't find it, because my brother expected that your words don't count today, so there are no dim sum!" Xiao Yi continued to deceive the child, if Zode was present now, he would definitely be surprised by his boss's naïve performance, but Xiao Yi was enjoying it now, but when he saw the little boy on the opposite side pouting and aggrieved, he suddenly softened, so he self-destructed the preface and began to take out a large basket of freshly baked dim sum from his pocket.
The little boy's expression when he saw the snack basket immediately made a 180-degree turn, and he excitedly waved and whistled in the direction of the pile of debris he had just come out, and then a bunch of boys and girls about his age cheered and hugged him.
When a bunch of little cute babies quickly carried the baskets back to their 'base', a very cute little girl left at the end of the team thanked Xiao Yi crisply, Xiao Yi immediately replied with what he thought was the brightest smile, and the little guy next to him with a disgusted face ignored it directly.
When the child's unique noisy voice gradually disappeared, only Xiao Yi and the little boy at the beginning were left in the alley.
"You see, patronizing and arguing with me, the snacks have been taken away! The friendly style didn't last long, Xiao Yi began to tease Xiao Zhengtai again.
"Hmph, who is so stingy as you, I'm their boss, so naturally I'm going to let them! Xiao Zhengtai pretended to be old-fashioned and serious, but the squirming 'grunt' sound in his throat revealed his true thoughts at this time.
Xiao Yi looked at the other party's indifferent appearance, and his heart warmed. I think he was also the child king in the orphanage back then, and this kind of courtesy to his friends was basically the same as when he had delicious food and fun, so he naturally had to let the 'younger brothers and sisters' first, and when someone asked about him, wasn't it the posture of Xiao Zhengtai in front of me that I couldn't look at.
This is not who asked them to do it, as a member of a relatively disadvantaged group, and there will be no unrelated social people to put pressure on you on the so-called benevolence and morality, to put it bluntly, this is just a strong character of a child who identifies with his own ability, and makes up for the situation that he also needs help through his own care for the same person who is sympathetic, which is a little sad but also warm.
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed the thin layer of hair on Xiao Zhengtai's head twice, ignoring the other party's glaring at him, but turned his hand and took out two big cloth bags from his pocket.
"Oh, this is your and your sister's share, I'm going to come out separately, take it!"
Xiao Zhengtai, who obviously had joy blooming on his face, continued to maintain a nonchalant appearance with a small face, which made Xiao Yi laugh in his heart, but his face was also very cooperative and silent, and he kept the bag in his hand in front of Xiao Zhengtai's eyes for a while, Xiao Zhengtai's expression finally melted, and he happily took the gift he had been coveting.
Xiao Yi took Xiao Zhengtai to the debris pile next to him, regardless of the dusty environment, he followed Xiao Zhengtai to sit on the old wooden box, seeing that Xiao Zhengtai was in a hurry to open the cloth bag containing snacks, Xiao Yi took out a handkerchief and a bottle of liquid like medicine from his pocket, and wiped the dust on Xiao Zhengtai's hands and face。
Xiao Zhengtai happily accepted Xiao Yi's actions, it seems that he is not really as cold to Xiao Yi as he showed just now, this is completely like an awkward younger brother who is coquettish with his brother, in the afterglow of the sunset, the picture of two figures, one big and one small, sitting in this slightly gloomy alley, makes people feel extremely harmonious.
"How is your sister!" Xiao Yi watched with pity as Xiao Zhengtai took the snack in the bag and feasted on it, and suddenly asked.
"It's still like that, but I haven't coughed anymore lately......" Xiao Yi's words made Xiao Zhengtai stop his movements, and he didn't seem to be very willing to mention this matter.
"That means it has an effect? The potion should have been drunk, give it!" Xiao Yi said that Xiao Yi immediately took out a bottle of dark brown potion and prepared to hand it to Xiao Zhengtai.
"I, I can't ask for ......"
Xiao Zhengtai rarely showed an embarrassed look, even when he asked Xiao Yi for a snack before, he didn't feel embarrassed, but he knew in his heart that his sister's lung disease had spent all the family's savings to treat it and failed to see any effect, and although Xiao Yi gave the potion he didn't know what it was, any of the potions used by magicians and combat professions were priceless things, even if his sister's physical condition did improve after drinking Xiao Yi's potion last time, but how could he take such a valuable thing with peace of mind。
Of course, if anyone knew that Xiao Yi gave him the 'Body Forging Elixir' that he coveted for no matter how much he spent on power-based professions such as swordsmen and wrestlers, he would have to shout three times, 'Destroy the Heavenly Things'.
"It's not for you, it's just for you to bring it back for your sister, do you, who are an older brother, still want to watch her suffer every day like before! Remember watching her take a sip every day...... Xiao Yi certainly understood what this kid with strong self-esteem was thinking, so he couldn't help but stuff the potion directly into his clothes pocket.
"By the way, how is the matter I explained to you, your brother Xiao and my restaurant will open in a few days, and I will be embarrassed if I am not popular at that time!"
"Oh yes, what the hell are you doing, I'm 'Little Whirlwind' Jamie, you can put a hundred hearts. Speaking of what he did for Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhengtai Jamie returned to his previous stinky fart appearance.
"Cut, I'll believe you this time for the time being!Okay, it's not early, hurry up and go home, your sister is still waiting for this medicine!" After speaking, Xiao Yi got up and left.
Jamie stood up and watched Xiao Yi's back disappear until he disappeared into the alley, then pursed his lips and wiped the mist in his eyes with the back of his hand, but he couldn't help but sobbed when he smelled the fragrance coming from his hand.

Xiao Yi, who returned to the store, was pulled directly into the inner room by Zode, who came over, and saw a group of people sitting, Xiao Yi remembered that his restaurant had finally reached the last stage of preparing for opening.
