"Checkout! What are you doing, asleep?! ”

Inside a convenience store, a male customer yells at the cash register with a box of cigarettes. The cashier Ye Kexin pulled back her thoughts, immediately took the cigarette, bowed and apologized: "Sorry sir, twenty yuan." ”

"If you're sleepy, go home and sleep, it won't delay things...."The male guest finished paying, took the cigarette and left, and did not forget to complain.

After a while, a middle-aged woman broke into the convenience store in a menacing manner. She led her children in one hand and a bag of snacks in the other.

"Little girl, what's the matter with you? Bullying my kid is small, isn't it?! These things are only thirty yuan, how can you charge my child three hundred! You little girl looks clean, why is your heart full of cheating, I want to see your boss! "Middle-aged women speak harshly, and no one is convinced when they quarrel.

"I'm sorry, wait a minute, I'll check." Ye Kexin greeted him with a smile and carefully checked the bag of snacks. I found out that I made the wrong decimal point when I was settling the accounts!

"What else to check?! There's nothing to check, you call your boss out of here! The middle-aged woman crossed her hands on her hips and stood in front of the cash register, looking like she would not do business without making it clear.

"Auntie, please come here and wait first, don't disturb the others....."

"Who do you call Auntie?!"

Ye Kexin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "That... Big sister...."

"Big sister? Why don't you call me Auntie! The middle-aged woman was furious, "You little girl, let me tell you, don't look at me as a mother after giving birth to a child, I was beautiful when I was young!" The people who chase me can be lined up from here to abroad! ”

"Okay, big sister.... Oldest maternal aunt.... Aunt... Belch..... Sister! I'll explain and compensate you later for my mistake, but for now, please get out of the way and don't get in the way of people behind you from buying things. Ye Kexin's tone was calm, and she tried her best to control and no longer anger the middle-aged woman.

"What to buy?! If the boss doesn't come out today, don't think about business! The middle-aged woman crossed her arms to her chest, like a big Buddha standing there, perfectly blocking everyone.

"What's going on up ahead? There are things to deal with, what's the matter with us here? I'm still in a hurry to go home and cook for my children! Someone at the back of the line shouted.

The middle-aged woman was angry, turned her head and scolded: "Eat and eat, you will know how to eat!" Is your child a pig?! Eat one less meal and starve to death! ”

"Huh~ How does this person speak....."

The guests hyped up, and the scene gradually became uncontrollable. Ye Kexin's voice of persuasion was drowned out, and she had to walk out of the cash register in an attempt to stop the quarrel. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman grabbed her clothes and pushed her, and the middle-aged woman did not stand under her feet and fell to the ground.

The others who were in a hurry to go home didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and blindly squeezed forward. Ye Kexin was also pushed down, and the middle-aged woman was kicked several times. The middle-aged woman sat on the ground and cried, and her child cried as well.

For a while, chickens flew and eggs fought, so it was not lively.

Half an hour later, Ye Kexin sat on the stairs in the convenience store and sighed, her hair was messy, her clothes were torn in several places, and there were several scratches on her face.

At that moment, a woman of abundance came up and sat side by side with her and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you, Sister Chen." Ye Kexin immediately took the initiative to admit her mistake to the boss, "Sister Chen, I remembered it wrong." I'll pay for the loss of the store. ”

The woman shook her head and said, "You have been so tired lately, I remember this kind of low-level mistake, and it has been several times this month. ”

"Sister Chen, it's my fault. I recently ....."

Without waiting for Ye Kexin to finish speaking, Sister Chen took out a thick envelope, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "This is your salary this month, there is no need for compensation, you go home first and rest well." ”

Ye Kexin panicked and begged: "Sister Chen, just forgive me this time, I promise that such a problem will not be done again!" ”

"Sister, I know it's not easy for you. My father died early, my mother was seriously ill, and you have to take care of your mother and your sister go to school. Hey, I'm really sorry for you. Sister Chen touched the scratches on Ye Kexin's face distressedly, "Don't blame Sister Chen for not remembering the old feelings, I paid out of my own pocket to help you fill in the first few bookkeeping mistakes." But I'm just a small shop after all, and I can't stand such a toss. ”

"I know what you need most now is money, but I can't make a lot of money here." Sister Chen said slowly, "Don't think I don't like what I say, you are a girl, it is difficult to make money, and it is easy to say." What's more, you're so pretty. ”

"Of course, we don't do things that can't be put on the table, but it's still okay to find a rich man to marry. No matter how ugly I say, even if I go to be a lover for those rich people, I will be more comfortable than now. ”

Ye Kexin lowered his head, with tears in his eyes, and said stubbornly: "I'm not going, I want to earn money with my own hands." ”

Sister Chen sighed and said, "You are a good boy, and I know that I shouldn't have persuaded you like this, but now you have no better choice." Can you really leave your mother alone? After all, we are just ordinary people, and ordinary people are much more difficult to live than those rich people. Don't think about borrowing, who are those who lend money, they can't do anything for money, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about your sister. ”

Ye Kexin hung her head, and her big tears smashed on the floor tiles, reflecting her painful face.

At night, Ye Kexin dragged her tired body home, and she was soulless all the way, and was almost hit by a car when crossing the street several times.

Ye Kexin was changing shoes at the entrance, Ye Yiyi heard the sound and walked out of the bedroom, and was surprised to see her sister: "Sister, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Ahh Oh, and it's not open tonight. Ye Kexin pursed her lips and smiled.

Ye Yiyi nodded and asked, "What happened to Mom?" Is it possible to operate? ”

Ye Kexin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, it's all solved." ”

"Okay. Then sister, you sit down first, and I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles. Ye Yiyi trotted into the kitchen, and after a while, the sound of ping-pong bells came out.

Ye Kexin sat down, elbows on the table, palms covering his forehead. I'm so tired today!

"Dangdang~" Soon, Ye Yiyi brought the fragrant noodles to Ye Kexin, "Sister, try it, see if my cooking skills have improved?" ”

Ye Kexin took a bite, looked up at Ye Yiyi with an expectant face, endured the sourness in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's delicious!" ”

Ye Yiyi was like a child who received candy on Halloween, jumping and jumping happily.

"Shhhh This girl, be quiet, don't wake up Wang Chen. Ye Kexin instructed softly.

Ye Yiyi said indifferently: "It's okay, Brother Wang Chen is not at home anyway." ”

"Not there?"

"yes, actually, he was there, and he was still grabbing the TV with me. But then I answered the phone and left. I guess it's a work thing. Ye Yiyi crossed her waist and said angrily, "I get angry when I think about it, he actually grabbed TV with a high school student like me!" He saved me before, and I thought he was a chivalrous man who had the courage to help him when he saw injustice. But he actually grabbed the TV with me today, what a bargain! Not a gentleman at all, and no heroic! ”

Ye Kexin's brows stretched, and finally showed her first smile today, "You are a person who has watched too many TV series, how can you have so many heroic demeanors." By the way, Ding Zhiming didn't bully you anymore, right? ”

"No, Ding Zhiming didn't go to school today. It is estimated that Wang Chen's brother was too heavy and was hospitalized. Ye Yiyi pondered, "Sister, who do you say Brother Wang Chen is?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Ye Kexin asked rhetorically.

"I don't think he's an ordinary person. He is not only handsome, but also rich, and will also help me teach Ding Zhiming a lesson. Although it's a bit of a discount to grab the TV with me, it's harmless. Ye Yiyi said mysteriously, "Sister, do you think Brother Wang Chen will be a rich second generation, and then ran out in order to escape marriage?" ”

Ye Kexin sneered and said angrily: "You, read less of those messy novels in the future, go to sleep!" ”

Ye Yiyi pretended to be serious and said: "Sister, I'm serious. In case Brother Wang Chen is really a rich second generation, then we will be lucky. In general, in this kind of plot, the rich second-generation male protagonist ran away from marriage, and then was taken in by the Cinderella heroine. I'll forget it, after all, I'm still young, but sister, you and Brother Wang Chen are very compatible! ”

"What did the dead girl say?! See I don't hit you! Ye Kexin picked up the chopsticks and pretended to fight. Ye Yiyi ran back to the bedroom with a cigarette, poked her head out again, and stuck out her tongue mischievously at Ye Kexin.

The sisters had a fight, and Ye Kexin's mood became a lot better. Ye Yiyi saw her sister laughing, and she stopped messing around and went to sleep honestly. As for the scratches on her sister's face, she didn't ask and didn't dare to ask, so she could only pretend not to see it.

Ye Kexin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, absent-minded. Today is in the past, but what about tomorrow?

Ye Kexin sighed, like a wilting sunflower, looking down at herself in the water at the bottom of the bowl. She touched her face, thinking of her seriously ill mother and her playful and sensible sister, and in the endless sorrow in her eyes, a trace of resignation grew.
