False alarm at night.

When Meng Xiaoni opened her eyes, she couldn't help shrinking into her quilt.

There was already movement downstairs, and the familiar sounds of cars and people came from outside.

"Hey, why don't you send the girl to school?"

"Oh yes, I overslept again. I'm going to be late! I'm leaving first!"

There were more and more voices outside, and there were a few shops that were earlier, when the sound of trucks rang out.

"Reverse, please pay attention! Reverse, please pay attention!"

Meng Xiaoni couldn't sleep any more, kicked the quilt away, and lay on the bed with a "big" character, then sat up suddenly: "Get up!"

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and stomped into the bathroom.

Brushing her teeth, Meng Xiaoni looked at herself in the mirror.

Comely, dull.

Not pretty, not ugly either.

Mouth of foam.

Meng Xiaoni took the cup and rinsed her mouth, then spat it out.

Putting on the hair tie, she washed her face clean and dried it with a towel, feeling very refreshed.

After washing, she took a deep breath, and then sighed: She's back home!

Da Da rushed downstairs, Meng Xiaoni saw that Meng's father and mother were cleaning the house seriously. The two took out the ultraviolet lamp and put it on the table, which hadn't been turned on yet.

When Meng's mother saw Meng Xiaoni, she hurriedly said, "Don't stay at home today, go out for a walk. The store is disinfected today."

The pungent disinfectant on the ground smelled very strong.

Meng Xiaoni nodded: "Are you still buying today?"

Father Meng said "Hey": "It's the same tomorrow. You go to play with your friends, and you finally have a holiday, so you can play for two more days."

Other people's children have just graduated, and their parents are worried about their children's jobs.

Meng's father and mother are lucky, but let Meng Xiaoni play for two more days.

Meng Xiaoni thought for a while, then ran upstairs again, shouting: "I'm going out today to find a decorator!"

Meng's father and mother looked at each other, shook their heads in comfort, and said a few words with a smile.

"This girl is like that."

"Not like you!"

Meng Xiaoni returned to her room, quickly changed her clothes, carried her small schoolbag on her back, counted her notebook and USB flash drive, and was ready to go out.

She quickly went downstairs, as light as a bird: "I'm going out!"

Mother Meng shouted from behind: "You haven't had breakfast yet!"

Meng Xiaoni replied, "I'll buy whatever I want!"

There are many breakfasts in Fengdu.

Now many delicacies are interoperable, but those traditional breakfasts in Fengdu are unexpectedly a little less.

As an old Fengdu native, Meng Xiaoni knows where to find some food even though she only comes back every year during the Chinese New Year.

She passed by the entrance of the nearest vegetable market, aimed at a small restaurant and entered.

The small restaurant is even smaller than Meng Xiaoni's hot pot restaurant, and there is a big red sign next to it, with some traditional food written on it.

"Miss Boss, here is a bowl of tofu nao and two deep-fried dough sticks."

Meng Xiaoni emphasized: "Old fried dough sticks!"

The proprietress replied in the room: "Okay."

The tofu nao was delivered quickly.

A large bowl of white and tender tofu, sprinkled with yellow boiled beans, large slices of chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and a little sesame oil.

Meng Xiaoni took the peppers from the side and poured them in for free.

"It's so heavy to eat early in the morning!" When the proprietress delivered two fried dough sticks, she couldn't help laughing, "Is this chili delicious?"

Meng Xiaoni tasted some chili sauce empty-handedly, then nodded her head, "It's delicious."

The hotness on the tip of the tongue is transmitted directly to the back of the head, making the scalp numb and the whole body hot.

She quickly stirred the tofu nao, and then ate such a large bowl with fried dough sticks.

It is comfortable to eat such a hot bowl in the morning.

After Meng Xiaoni finished eating and paid the bill, she happily went outside to find a decorator.

Small places have benefits of small places.

For example, restaurants are basically opened together, and decoration stores are basically opened together.

It was just after nine o'clock when Meng Xiaoni arrived at the building materials market.

"Ding ding dong ding dong, ding ding dong ding dong—"

Meng Xiaoni took out her mobile phone, glanced at the phone number, with a little doubt in her eyes.

She answered the phone: "Hello?"

A female voice came from the phone: "Hi, is this Meng Xiaoni? This is Fengdu County Public Security Bureau."

Meng Xiaoni suddenly said: "Hi, I'm Meng Xiaoni."

"Hello, our bureau received your alarm text message last night. Did it arrive in a short time? How did you deal with it? Is the matter resolved now?"

In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org

Meng Xiaoni nodded, and after she clicked, she remembered that she couldn't see her on the other side: "Well, we will be there soon, and the matter has been dealt with."

"Okay. Glad to be of help. Have a nice day."

Meng Xiaoni replied: "Yeah, I wish you a happy life."

The other party quickly thanked him and hung up the phone.

Meng Xiaoni looked at the number again: Why is the current service attitude a bit like a telephone company

Anyway, it's fine if things are settled.

She put away her phone, scanned the entire building materials market, and then walked under a shady tree.

In order to make full use of the space in the building materials market, most of them leave a place for cars to enter and exit, and the rest of the places are filled with door frames, chairs, tables and so on. There is even less greenery in this kind of place, with only a few trees.

Under the tree that Meng Xiaoni saw, a thin old man was fanning himself.

The old man was wearing a white racer-back vest, with a wrinkled face, he could tell he was not young.

The fan is a big cattail fan, which is specially used in summer.

Fengdu is already hot in June.

Meng Xiaoni walked over to take a look, and found that the old man with the fan was nowhere to be seen. Ghosts come and go in broad daylight, and there seems to be no problem at all.

The old uncle also noticed Meng Xiaoni, so frightened that the fan stopped fanning, the first sentence he said was: "Black and white impermanence is so ordinary?"

Meng Xiaoni: "..."

She is not black and white, I am really sorry.

Meng Xiaoni walked to the old uncle and looked around: "Old uncle, I want to see which restaurant here is more authentic. My hot pot restaurant wants to renovate."

The old uncle took two steps to the side, trying to distance himself from Meng Xiaoni: "Amitabha, goodness, goodness. I have never done anything bad in my life. Although I was a little late in going to the underworld, it was because no one came to pick me up. I It has nothing to do with every store here, and I don’t even recognize it.”

Meng Xiaoni: "..."

Seeing Meng Xiaoni standing there, the old uncle rolled his small eyes, and moved his feet to the side: "Old man, I have been a Buddhist all my life, really, don't make things difficult for me..."

Meng Xiaoni turned to the old uncle, passed through the old uncle's body, and then passed back.

The old uncle was shocked again: "What's the matter with you? Why are you still walking into the ghost's body!"

Meng Xiaoni still couldn't figure it out: "What's wrong with you, old man? Why are you making such a fuss when you're all dead?"

The old uncle was shocked again: "You can see ghosts! This is very rare!"

Meng Xiaoni walked back: "Ghosts can haunt the sun, what's so strange about me? Uncle, are you going to tell me? I'm not here to catch you. My hot pot restaurant wants to renovate. Come to the building materials market once."

The old uncle looked at Meng Xiaoni carefully.

He walked around Meng Xiaoni three times, fanning extremely fast, with a hesitant look on his face: "Are you really not a black and white? I have been in this building materials market for three years, and this is the first time I have seen someone who can see me."

Just as Meng Xiaoni was about to say something, she saw someone walking out of a store with sharp eyes.

She quickly took out her mobile phone and stuck it to her ear: "I'm really not. You have been in the building materials market for three years, so you must know this place very well."

The old uncle turned his head and immediately saw the person coming out of the shop.

Seeing Meng Xiaoni's proficiency, he didn't feel flustered now, but laughed instead: "Oh, that's amazing. I'm so boring here by myself. You want to renovate the hot pot restaurant? I know this job. I Let me introduce you to my son's store. I have a grandson who just finished his third year of high school. How old are you, little girl? Let me introduce you... "

After hearing this, Meng Xiaoni walked away: "I'm just going to stroll here, let's take a look first. Then we'll talk about it later."

She "hangs up the phone" immediately.

The old uncle hurriedly followed her: "What are you going to talk about later? Aren't you talking to me? I'll introduce you to the store!"

The introduction shop also brought blind dates by the way.

Meng Xiaoni murmured in her heart, picked a store at random and walked in, and looked at the door.

This store sells wood boards, and samples of wood boards are posted on the wall, with the wood material and price marked below.

The old uncle followed into the store, and whispered in Meng Xiaoni's ear: "Why are you pretending not to see me again? I told you this store is not good, did you see the price tag? Just bullying a little girl like you who came back for the first time. We have rules here."

This is the case in the building materials market. The price tag is one thing, and the selling price is another thing.

Meng Xiaoni definitely wants to buy wooden boards, she wants to build a themed hotpot restaurant.

"Let me tell you, the owner of this store is not short of money at all. He opened the door just to trick young people like you who don't know anything. Go inside, and those stores will dare to lower the price for you, lest you leave not coming back."

Unknowingly, the old man got a little bit of the bottom line.

Meng Xiaoni scanned a large piece of wood, and finally stopped on a dark brown one.

The dark brown floor is very nice.

"Why do you like this kind of wood when you are young?" The old uncle couldn't help talking while fanning the big cattail fan. .”

Meng Xiaoni came early and looked like she had no money.

The store is open at the moment, and I'm not afraid that someone will come to buy things, and there will be no one for a long time.

Meng Xiaoni turned her head to look at the entire store again, and decided to change to another store.

When the old uncle saw that Meng Xiaoni was going to change stores, he immediately smiled, his face turned into a flower: "Little girl, go to my son's store. I can give you a discount! I have the final say."

Meng Xiaoni stepped out of the store, and then whispered back to him: "Where is your store?"

The old man became a ghost, his legs and feet were extremely numb, and he ran to the front in no time: "Come on, I'll take you there."
