"Are you sure you want fifty copies?"
Chen Xu had already sat back at the door. Hearing what the man said, he walked over and confirmed.
"right."
There was a simple and honest smile on the man's round face, "Our company is nearby, and we are working overtime tonight. I am going to order some supper for them to go home. Your faces are not bad."
Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't prepare too many materials today, there should be only a dozen or so."
"That's it."
The man frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'll give you twenty shares first, and you help me do it, and I'll drive over."
With that said, he took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code to pay, and left.
As soon as Chen Ziqi waited for him to leave, she jumped up excitedly, "Finally I have a big deal. Oh, Chen Xu, why don't you prepare more."
Chen Xu glanced at the noodles on the table that had only eaten one bite, and felt that this person was a bit strange, but anyway, the other party had already paid, so let's do it.
The soup he prepared was not enough. Since this soup could not be stored for too long, he did not make too much for fear of waste. Today, there are about 20 servings left.
It didn't take long to cook the noodles. By the time the man drove over in a black Volkswagen, Chen Xu had already made 20 servings, packed them all in disposable crispers, and separated the soup from the noodles so that they wouldn't soak for too long. confused.
Chen Ziqi found a few cardboard boxes to store these fresh-keeping boxes. As soon as the car came, he moved into the car.
"Twenty-five copies in total."
Chen Xu put the last few copies into the trunk and said.
"Okay." The man took out his mobile phone, paid five more, and drove away.
Chen Xu announced, "Okay, close the stall."
"I didn't expect to make a profit on the third day. Let's celebrate, how about singing K?" Chen Ziqi suggested enthusiastically.
"I have to work tomorrow."
Chen Xu's words shattered her expectations.
"Oh." She pouted, looking a little unhappy, but she didn't bother to go.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Wait until the weekend."
"Long live." Chen Ziqi immediately cheered, with a joyful smile on his face.
Suddenly, Chen Xu felt that having a younger sister is actually quite nice, although she often puts you in trouble, speaks to your heart, and occasionally is very caring.
Chen Ziqi clapped her hands and said, "When the time comes, go to my house and invite my girlfriend out."
Seeing that she still didn't forget about this incident, Chen Xu was a little funny, and he felt a little bit of embarrassment in his heart. He patted her on the head and said, "Let's not harm your classmate, okay? It's not that I can't get a girlfriend, It's just that I don't have the energy for the time being. Don't worry about me. Studying hard is the right way."
"I said it all, don't touch my head."
Chen Ziqi grabbed his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you understand? She is easy to deceive when she is still young. When she goes to high school next year and has more knowledge, she will look down on you."
Chen Xu was so angry and funny, "I have such a bad image in your heart, do you have to cheat to find a girlfriend?"
Chen Ziqi patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "My silly brother, you must be self-aware as a human being."
"so rude."
Chen Xu flicked her head once, feeling the need to take back what he just said. Such a younger sister, apart from being annoying, has nothing else to do.
...
It was another ordinary working day, probably stimulated by overtime pay, Chen Xu found that his colleagues' enthusiasm for work had increased a lot, and their efficiency had also improved. It was just after half past six, and everyone got off work.
Chen Xu went to the bathroom and changed into sportswear. Today, he wants to challenge himself and run home.
In fact, the straight-line distance from the company to the rental house is not too far, but the bus will take a detour. If you run and take a shortcut, it may take more time than taking a car.
He stuffed the changed clothes, documents, etc. into a backpack, put the backpack on his back, tightened the belt, and started running.
I ran for twenty minutes in one breath, about half of the distance. He stopped for a while, then continued to run.
After running for another half an hour, I arrived near the square where I go for morning exercise every day. I was exhausted again, so I had to stop again.
At this point, he was already very close to the rented house, and he planned to walk back.
Counting it down, it took about an hour to run the entire distance. You don't need to squeeze the bus, and you can exercise your body. He decided to go down in the future, as long as the weather permits, he will run home.
When going to work, it’s still not good to go to the company sweating all over, so I still go by car.
He took a small road, it would be dinner time, and there were not many passers-by. I could hear the smell of rice wafting from the houses on both sides, as well as some voices and voices from the TV.
Turning an intersection, he walked into a small supermarket and bought a bottle of water. Drink while walking.
Suddenly, he saw a girl in school uniform squatting there with her schoolbag under the telephone pole not far ahead, her back was facing him.
"It's already here, why haven't you come home yet?"
He felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't want to be nosy. When he got closer, he saw three variegated kittens not far in front of her, licking in front of a cardboard box with the M mark on it.
In the girl's hand, she held a Tetra Pak box of pure milk.
On the wall next to the utility pole, hung an old-fashioned lamp. The lampshade on the upper edge was rusted, and the bulb underneath gave off a golden light, illuminating the side face of the girl who was feeding the cat.
In this quiet alley, the scene in front of you is like a picture scroll.
Chen Xu subconsciously slowed down his pace.
As if sensing someone, the girl turned her head and glanced at him, stood up, waved at the kittens, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction to him.
jingle.
When he passed by, he heard a few crisp sounds. Looking back, I saw a small white kitty cat doll hanging on the zipper of her schoolbag, strung together, and a small bell.
In a blink of an eye, the girl had disappeared into the alley.
When she turned around, he clearly saw that she was wearing white earphones in her ears.
Chen Xu withdrew his gaze and was about to move on when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw something where the girl was squatting. Out of curiosity, he went to pick it up, it was a school card.
Cao Ningning, XX Middle School, Class 3, Grade 2.
He has heard of this school before, it is a key high school, and it should be more strictly controlled. If the school card is lost, it may be a little troublesome.
Thinking in his heart, he chased after her, but he could no longer see the girl.
He shook his head, helpless.
...
The girl in school uniform walked through the alley, turned a few alleys, exited the main road, and entered a community.
After a while, she took the elevator and came to the door of her house. She took out the key and was about to open the door. When she heard the quarrel coming from inside, she stopped her hands.
She put the keys back in her pocket, walked to the window at the stairway, took out her mobile phone, turned up the volume, and the sound of the music seemed to isolate the outside world.
She looked out the window, staring at the night sky with her dark eyes, motionless.
