097 The Ice Shop Encounter
These days, prices have soared, and there are not many things that can be done at 50 cents.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Huan walked towards the cashier counter of the ice shop with an awkward expression.
"Thank you, ten yuan in all." The lady boss said politely.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I forgot to bring money with me." As soon as I said this, I saw the subtle change in the face of the lady boss. Before the other party was about to attack, Chu Huan hurriedly said, "Where is there a public phone, uh... It’s not the kind of phone booth, but the kind of small shops that make a local call for 50 cents. I called my friends to send money over.
Maybe it was Chu Huan who was sincere when speaking, and looked honest, plus the shaved ice for 10 yuan, so the lady boss’s expression was relieved a lot, "Little girl, don’t be so careless next time. Here, there is a public phone across the road."
The lady boss said, pointing her finger at a small grocery store across the road.
"I'll make a call and promise that I won't run away." Chu Huan had nothing to pledge, so only a verbal guarantee was given.
"Okay, okay, go and fight." The proprietress said straightforwardly.
A little sullenly walking across the road, Chu Huan used her only 50 cents to make a call. When her hand instinctively pressed all the phone numbers, she was shocked. She dialed Xiao Moye’s cell phone. number.
She didn't go to Ting'er or other classmates and friends. Her first reaction at the moment was to find Xiao Moye? !
Chu Huan himself was a little surprised. After a while, the phone was connected and Xiao Moye's voice came, "Who?"
"It's me, Chu Huan." She bit her lip and replied.
"Huan." He seemed a little surprised, because the caller ID he was calling was an unfamiliar number, "Why don't you call me without a cell phone?"
"The phone is in the bag, and the bag is forgotten to take with me." 50 cents, there is not much time to talk. Watching the time on the timer go by little by little, she quickly said, "Are you free now?"
"There will be a report meeting to be held in a while. I guess it will take about 2 hours, right
"I ate a bowl of shaved ice at the shaved ice shop and I forgot to bring the money. Would you like to bring 10 yuan to the shaved ice shop to find me after the meeting in two hours?" Chu Huan thought for a while.
"Give me the address first." Xiao Moye said.
Chu Huan hurriedly reported the address of the shaved ice shop to Xiao Moye, and then heard him say two words, "Wait for me, don't run around."
"..." Does he treat her as a child? Run around! She owes shaved ice money, so she won’t let the lady boss want to run around!
After hanging up the phone, Chu Huan's only 50 cents were gone. At this moment, she felt a little penniless. Back at the shaved ice shop, she whispered to the proprietress, "My friend is about to have a meeting. It may take 2 hours before the money can be delivered, uh... can I sit here for 2 hours?"
"Okay, just sit down. There are not many guests anyway." The lady boss patted Chu Huan's shoulder.
Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his previous seat. Because it was exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not weekend time, the guests were indeed sparse. After a while, there were no guests, and the lady boss came over to chat with Chu Huan when she was idle and bored.
"Little girl, you don't look like a local."
"Well, I am from W city and I am studying in Z city."
"Oh, it's a college student." The lady boss smiled.
Chu Huan nodded.
"Have you made a boyfriend?"
Chu Huan nodded again.
"The little girl is alone, but you must know how to protect yourself! Nowadays, there are more college students living together. For this kind of thing, girls will always suffer a bit." The lady boss opened the chat box, "My relative has a daughter." , I lived with my boyfriend for several years, but I got a big belly. The two of them were arguing about breaking up somehow. The man left after patting his butt, and the woman could go to abortion and hurt his body!
"My boyfriend and I haven't lived together yet." Chu Huan hurriedly said.
The proprietress waved her hand, "I don’t have it now, doesn’t it mean I don’t have it in the future, you young people, how can you care about so much when you are in love. Auntie kindly advises you that if you really want to live together, you must also take protective measures. Body, you can protect yourself."
Chu Huan's face was red, and she didn't know if she was too open or the boss's wife was too open, she always felt weird to talk about this topic with a stranger.
But seeing the boss's wife so diligently instructed, she had no choice but to nod her head, "Thank you, I know."
"By the way, what does your boyfriend do, who is also a college student?" the lady boss asked again with interest.
"Oh, he is a soldier." Chu Huan said.
The proprietress instinctively thought of the soldiers who were born from poor people, so she said, “It’s a bit harder to join the army, but it’s good to wait for the change of profession. Now that the service in the army is finished, they will usually be assigned jobs. If If there is no job assigned, the army will also be subsidized. If there is a chance to stay in the army in the future, there should be a..."
The words of the proprietress stopped abruptly when they saw a luxury car parked in front of the store. The door opened, and a man in a green military uniform got out of the car. He had broad shoulders, long legs, and a narrow waist. His temperament was excellent, his face was handsome and elegant, and he was a bit colder than a soldier.
When the man walked into the ice shop, the lady proprietress hurriedly greeted him, "May I have some ice?"
"Looking for someone." As the other party said, he walked straight to Chu Huan who was sitting at the table, "You owe 10 yuan?"
"Yeah." Chu Huan stood up, "Didn't you say that there will be a two-hour meeting? Why are you here now?"
"I postponed the meeting for an hour." Xiao Moye said, and took out his wallet, which contained a thick wad of people/renminbi/currency. The lady boss was dumbfounded, except for money in this wallet. In addition, there are several VIP-level bank cards.
This lord is extraordinary at first sight!
"He... Is he your boyfriend?" The lady boss asked Chu Huan incredulously, "That soldier?"
Chu Huan nodded, "Well, he served as a soldier for several years." With that, he looked at Xiao Moye's wallet, "Is there any change for 10 yuan?"
"No, let's get change at 100." As he said, he handed out a 100 to the proprietress.
The lady boss couldn't help but looked at Xiao Moye a few more times before going to the cashier to find change.
Chu Huan pulled Xiao Moye's sleeves, "Can I ask for another mango ice? It was a bit unpleasant just now."
