Chapter 51: The shiny old abacus

Ding Nan and Luo Min received a notice at 11:52 p.m. as usual, went to the front desk to retrieve the boxed lunch, and turned off the screen to eat as soon as 12 o'clock.

At first, the others in the office thought that the vendors were not very hygienic, but they saw that Ding Nan and the others had been eating at this house for several days in a row.

Not to mention that everything you see these days is suitable for their appetite, but there are always one or two dishes that will satisfy their appetite.

Especially when a few of them went out to eat every day and came back sweating, when they saw the two of them resting comfortably after eating, the balance in my heart began to shake a little bit.

The two of them have been eating for so long, so they should be fine;

On such a hot day, it seems good to be able to eat without going out;

Looking at today's dishes, the white and red chopped pepper fish, the sour and spicy smelling cold salad, the refreshing cabbage fungus and a box of crystal clear rice are really a bit appealing!

Between the ghosts and gods, Sister Liu walked between Ding Nan and Luo Min with her feet unexpectedly, and her mouth opened uncontrollably.

"Xiao Ding Xiaoluo, do you still order a boxed lunch tomorrow, can you add a sister?"

As soon as these words came out, several unanimous voices appeared in the office one after another.

"Add me too."

Ding Nan and Luo Min were so frightened by this battle that they choked, and it took them a long time to beat their chests before they recovered.

"Well, we already booked tomorrow's boxed lunch when we just got the lunch, you have to go to the opposite stall to make a reservation, or will we make a reservation for you tomorrow when we get the boxed lunch?"

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Sister Liu's face.

If you make a reservation tomorrow, you will have to sit in the office the day after tomorrow and wait for the meal to be served, but if you make a reservation today, you can sit and wait for the meal to be served tomorrow.

Why don't you go out to eat and make a reservation for tomorrow's box lunch?

After asking the specific location of the lunch stall, Sister Liu rushed directly to the lunch stall.

Suddenly found that there were still a lot of boxed lunches on the stall, and immediately smiled: "Boss, we have a boxed lunch for each person!" ”

Liang Dani raised her head a little dazedly, didn't she just say that the boxed lunches were all sold out, why did anyone still come?

When I looked up, I found that it was a few very raw people, who should have come to consume for the first time.

"I'm sorry, today's box lunches have been sold out." Liang Dani said to Sister Liu and the others with some embarrassment.

Sister Liu looked at the boxed lunches on the stall and was a little puzzled, pointed to the boxed lunches and asked, "Aren't these all boxed lunches?" ”

"These were ordered by someone else, and I'll have to send them over in a moment." Liang Dani thought for a while and said, "If you work around here, you can book tomorrow's box lunch, and the delivery fee for a distance of three hundred meters is only five cents." ”

Although I felt a little disappointed when I heard Liang Dani's words, I also had a little more confidence in this stall.

With such a large number of orders per day, there should be no problem.

At that moment, Sister Liu and several colleagues placed an order together, and when the time came, you could report Sister Liu's name.

When Xu An came back, Liang Dani told Xu An about the order, and Xu An nodded and wrote down the new order in his notebook.

Since the start of the delivery business, the fastest growth in orders has been among office workers, with as few as two or three orders as many as eight or nine per day, and the number is steadily increasing.

During this period, the infrastructure of the Haishi Library was completed, and more than 100 workers were evacuated, and now the number of workers on the construction site is only more than 200 people, and more and more workers should be withdrawn from the construction site in the future.

Xu An couldn't help but be glad that he had developed a group of office workers here, and this group had unlimited development potential.

Now that I have a store, I have a little confidence, and I have to find a way to make my store's popularity spread among office workers.

Whenever they don't know what to eat at noon, they think of Xu's fast food.

Xujia Village.

As soon as Xu An returned to the courtyard, Xu Kang and Xu Le ran over and hugged Xu An's two legs, looking up at him with an expectant look on his face.

"Brother, are you still going to the store today?"

"Brother, I'll help you today, can you buy us popsicles to eat?"

"Okay, let go first, my brother will change his clothes and then take them over." Xu An pinched the little faces of the two of them before agreeing.

When the two little guys heard Xu An agree, they instantly became happy, running all over the yard, shouting while running: "Woo, let's go to the store to help my brother, and my brother will buy us popsicles to eat, okay!" ”

Xu An walked into the hall and saw his grandmother sitting up from the bed and looking directly at him through the doorway.

At this time, Xu An reacted, and he seemed to have forgotten to tell his grandmother about opening a store.

"Anzi, I've been listening to them all day today saying that you have opened a store and are going to the store to help you, what's going on?"

Xu An hesitated, this is not a bad thing, he even said that he planned not to go to college, what is it to open a store!

I moved a wooden stool and sat on the edge of the bed, and told me everything about the past few days.

In the end, thinking that although my grandmother hadn't read any books, she was a good hand, and said half-jokingly: "Grandma, when the store opens, we will all go to the store every morning, how about you be a cashier for me?" ”

Grandma Xu looked at Xu An, and suddenly felt that the eldest grandson in front of her was a little strange.

From the very beginning when he wanted to start a lunch business, she felt that it was just a young man's impulse; But I didn't expect it to really stick to it, and I did a good job.

At this time, she felt that Xu An could earn some living expenses, and it would be better if she could earn college tuition; Unexpectedly, it has only been half a month, and even the store has been leased and ready to open a store.

This is, really not going to college?

Xu An watched the change in the expression on Grandma Xu's face, guessed what she was thinking, and reached out to hold Grandma Xu's hand.

"Milk, I decided not to go to college after careful consideration, not just because of my family, I feel that I can't do without me at home, you don't need to feel guilty for this, feel that you have dragged me down."

In order to ease the tense atmosphere that was close to solidification, Xu An pretended to be relaxed and continued.

"My college entrance examination score is not high, and I can't reach a good school major, so it's better to come out early to make money. Besides, if this business can't go on, I can go back and repeat my studies, and take the college entrance examination again. ”

Grandma Xu looked at Xu An for a long time, and finally nodded: "Since you have decided, let it be." Now this home will be handed over to you, and you will be in charge of it in the future. ”

Then Grandma Xu began to tell Xu An how much her family earned every year and how much she saved in the family.

After listening to this, Xu An felt that his decision not to go to college was very correct, and his family's stable income was only 1,002 yuan per year.

The output of the vegetable garden is only 5,000 a year, which is extremely unstable, and it requires a lot of energy and money, and the net profit is less than half.

With an income of more than 6,000 a year, since he is responsible for the daily expenses of the old and the young, and he has to support the daily life of a college student, no matter how he arranges this fund, there is a huge gap.

Suddenly, Xu An could understand why Grandma Xu agreed to send Xu Kang and Xu Le to her sister-in-law's house in her previous life, because the income of more than 6,000 really couldn't support a family.

After explaining all the situation at home, Grandma Xu showed a relaxed look on her face, held Xu An's hand with her backhand, and patted it gently.

After Xu An left, Grandma Xu suddenly heard what Xu An had just said - went to the store to help collect the bills, two blushes suddenly flew on her wrinkled face, and she whispered in her mouth: "I'm such an old woman, I can do this there." ”

Although his mouth was refusing, his eyes were looking at the old wooden box in the corner of the bedroom.

Inside the wooden box, in addition to clothes, there is also a shiny old abacus, which is Grandma Xu's beloved thing.
