Cai Mingyu was stunned when she heard this, she naturally knew that Xiao Ran and An Ruosu were both students, where did they understand the hardships of opening a store, and where would they have money to invest.

So after hearing those words just now, she just smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.

Because she knew it was impossible.

But now Xiao Ran mentioned it again, and he looked unusually serious.

I even thought of the name of the store!

This was a big surprise to her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Of course, she knew that it was their kindness, and they were encouraging themselves to persevere, but she also knew that they must not be embarrassed by the two students because of themselves.

The investment in opening a store is not a small amount, and even if they can get the money, I am afraid it is the hard-earned money they ask for from their parents.

But how can that work!

Cai Mingyu has long been a mother, and with the death of her husband, she knows that it is not easy for parents to make money, and every penny is hard money.

Besides, now that even she herself is not confident that she can make the store bigger, how can she bear to let these two students mess around with her.

Thinking of this, she forced out a smile and replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, classmate Xiao, I'm not short of money for the time being, when I get really hot here, I will definitely pull you to invest when I expand the store again, you will never be able to run."

In order to make Xiao Ran and Xiao An feel relieved, she deliberately made a little joke in the second half of the sentence along with their naïve thoughts.

But, in fact, even she didn't believe it.

But what she didn't expect was that Xiao Ran obviously believed it after hearing it, because he only left a sentence and left.

"Okay, Sister Cai, let's talk about it, just like that, wait for my letter!"

This......

Seeing this, Cai Mingyu's heart fluctuated, she didn't understand why Xiao Ran was so confident in her here, even more confident than her, the shopkeeper.

She stared blankly at the noodles and chili oil in front of her, a little confused for a moment, and then she heard her daughter's happy laughter outside, and it never stopped.

So, she couldn't help but think of her daughter's depressed state more than half a year ago.

In contrast, it is really rare to be cheerful and lively now.

All thanks to Xiao An!

With Xiao An, there was light in her daughter's eyes again.

It seems that her daughter really likes her sister Susu.

Cai Mingyu couldn't help but sigh, but ......

But once the rent is withdrawn, the daughter will inevitably be separated from Xiao An's classmates and will not be able to see each other, and by then......

Cai Mingyu didn't dare to think about it for a while, she couldn't imagine her daughter changing back to her previous negative appearance.

At this time, her daughter's happy laughter came from the front hall again, Cai Mingyu gritted her teeth, and finally made a decision.

If even others have faith in me, what am I afraid of?

Even if it's for Kiki, I have to grit my teeth and persist for an extra year.

At the very least, let's hold on until Xiao An graduates!

……

After Xiao Ran went back, he joined Su Su's ranks as soon as possible and helped Kiki defeat those math monsters together.

Under his intentional guidance, he made Su Su and Kiki laugh from time to time.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Ran always feels that in this small shop, Su Su seems to smile more often, and she laughs openly.

It's like there's a kind of magic here, peeling off the shell that Su Su usually hides, revealing the innocence of his heart.

So, Xiao Ran couldn't help but recall the time in junior high school.

At that time, he and Su Su also teased each other every day, and spent every day laughing and laughing.

At that time, Su Su was lively and cheerful, and he was a little naughty, which was not the same as the cold Su Su on weekdays now.

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't dare to contact her in his previous life in the first and second years of high school, and he thought that Su Su had completely changed.

But now it seems that Su Su has not changed at all!

Maybe this coldness is just her protective color.

Xiao Ran thought secretly.

After all, there are so many teenagers in the school!

At this moment, seeing Su Su and Qiqi next to him talking and laughing, constantly showing bright smiles, Xiao Ran's heart moved, and he made up his mind in his heart.

[I'll protect this smile in the future!] 】

[I want Susu to keep this smile forever!] 】

Half an hour later.

With the help of Xiao Ran and Su Su, Kiki finally got done, successfully eliminated all the math problems, and danced happily.

But at this time, it was also time to say goodbye, after all, they would have to go to the hospital to change their dressings in a while.

So, after the two explained this to Sister Cai and Qiqi, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, An Ruosu quietly took out 5 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table at the door.

However, although she did it very secretively, she was still seen by the sharp-eyed Sister Cai, who saw Sister Cai grab Su Su's hand and stuff it back.

He kept saying "How can I ask for money from you both".

But Su Su still insisted on giving, and she said with a smile:

"Sister Cai, I invited Xiao Ran for this meal, if you don't want it, how can I invite it, and besides, give money for dinner, it's just right, you can't not accept it!"

"Look at what you said, just when I invited you, it's a big deal, just a bowl of noodles, and the first time Xiao Ran came, he should try it." Sister Cai said.

"Then how can it be, if you don't take money, how dare we come again in the future, we still have the same old rules, just like me and Jingjing."

An Ruosu winked at Xiao Ran as she spoke, and motioned for him to come forward and persuade him a few words.

Xiao Ran naturally understood, and besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with giving money.

"That's right, Sister Cai, you have to collect this money, if you don't accept it, then I'm really embarrassed to come again."

"Besides, I'm going to invest in your store in the future, it's not like it's a word to take the lead in eating white food as soon as I come."

After hearing Su Su and Xiao Ran's repeated persuasions, Cai Mingyu was still a little hesitant.

Naturally, she didn't feel sorry for those two bowls of noodles, but she was really worried that Xiao Ran would be embarrassed to come over again.

Although Xiao Ran was here for the first time, in this short hour, he got along very well with Qiqi and had a hot fight.

Just now, my daughter called "Brother Xiao Ran" kissable, and shouted that she would play a game with him next time!

Therefore, it seems that this money has to be collected by them.

But people have already helped themselves to tutor their daughters in their studies, and if they don't give money, they will have to collect food money, which is a bit inappropriate.

Thinking of this, Cai Mingyu still couldn't make up his mind, and he was undecided.

But at this moment, Kiki, who was on the side, said a word to save her.

"Mom, why don't you accept it, but we have to give a discount, after all, Sister Su Su and Brother Xiao Ran are not outsiders."

"Yes, Kiki, you're right."

Cai Mingyu was reminded by her daughter like this, and she was suddenly empowered and found a solution.

She quickly took out a dollar from her pocket, and then exchanged it with the 5 yuan in Su Su's hand: "Give you two a 20% discount." ”

An Ruosu was a little stunned when she saw this, but she still wanted to give all 5 yuan.

When Xiao Ran saw Su Su's appearance, she naturally understood what she was thinking, so she continued to help;

"Sister Cai, you better accept it all, although it is my first time here, but I know that the amount of noodles and toppings you gave me is very large, and it has long exceeded the normal amount, and it is already a discount."

Cai Mingyu was stunned when she heard this, and was about to reply, but at this time Qiqi preemptively said:

"Brother Xiao Ran, Sister Susu, just like you said, it is natural to give money for food, and it is also the same for you to give you enough portions, because in my mother and I, you are not outsiders.

So, don't shirk it, or my mother won't be embarrassed to let me trouble you again in the future. ”

An Ruosu and Xiao Ran were stunned when they heard this, they naturally heard the meaning, and in the other way, they returned the other.

Naturally, they were embarrassed to refute another child, so An Ruosu took Sister Cai's 1 yuan, and then rubbed Qiqi's little brain.

"Okay, I'll take it, you're smart, and you're a big ghost."

"Hey, hey."

Kiki scratched her head and smiled sheepishly.
