Rebirth, the childhood sweetheart turned out to be my sister

end of August.

It's eight o'clock in the evening. As for the weather, well, it's sunny for the time being.

On the South Street of the town, the milk tea shop that had been operating quietly announced that it was closed. It should have taken advantage of the booming business at the end of the summer vacation before the start of school to make money, but now it was forced to close due to too little foot traffic.

This incident didn't cause a big stir, after all, people in the town don't pay much attention to this store now.

Let me briefly introduce Zhou Sheng.

He is not a local. His hometown is in the south, but the specific location is unknown. Perhaps because he saw someone opening a milk tea shop in his hometown to make money, and coupled with the economic differences between the north and the south, he brought his daughter to Suifeng. And successfully opened a milk tea shop.

Obviously, Zhou Sheng is a person who seizes opportunities but fails to keep them. Of course, this is also related to his easy-going and easy-to-satisfy personality. Therefore, after opening his first milk tea shop, he did not Instead of seizing the market, he chose to stay in a small town and guard the milk tea shop he created.

This is also the reason why he can have a close relationship with Father Xu. Both of them are too easily satisfied. To put it bluntly, they have no ambition. ,

However, the competition in the catering market in the past few years has been quite fierce. While he was still standing still, his pursuers gradually began to overtake him and left him behind through so-called innovation or marketing methods.

When this man reacts, everything is over. Fate will not favor one person continuously, and opportunities will not always be in the hands of one person.

Shop owner Zhou Sheng is doing the final cleanup work these days.

With the development of the catering economy, people have more demands. In addition, in recent years, the government business center has shifted to urban areas. Milk tea shops like Zhou Sheng opened in small towns are in an increasingly difficult situation. .

Some time ago, profits and expenses were barely equal, but since the summer vacation, a certain snack street in Beicheng District was demolished by the government to build a commercial street, and the store's business has become increasingly difficult.

Until a few days ago, it was forced to close down.

Tables, chairs, and some production equipment, such as juicers, microwave ovens, etc., although he has not yet found anyone to take over, he has already started to pack them away.

The small shop that used to be lively is now in a mess. Only Zhou Sheng is left, and a few middle-aged men who came to help move things. These are his friends in the small town. They drove here today to help him move. thing.

"Lao Zhou, what are you going to do in the future? Work in a factory or open a store somewhere else..."

The person who spoke was the owner of the nearby grocery store. He also rented the Xu family's house. He usually had a good relationship with Zhou Sheng.

Hearing this, Zhou Sheng gave a wry smile and said, "Let's have another look. If it doesn't work, then go work in a factory..."

"Hey, remember to ask if you have any difficulties. I will try my best to help you."

"Um……"

……

The truck pulling tables and chairs disappeared at the end of the street, and Zhou Sheng began to clean the store.

Looking at everything familiar in front of him, a gleam of gloom flashed in his eyes. On the one hand, it was the reluctance to set up the milk tea shop with his own hands, and on the other hand, he was uneasy about the future. He had no education and no background. The most important thing was to take care of his daughter. The road is confusing.

Just yesterday, he told Xu Bin that he no longer planned to rent this shop and would move out all the things in September, so in fact, there was no need to clean the house now and just make other people's wedding clothes. That’s all.

He really couldn't bear to leave this place, so he wanted to clean it up before leaving.

After finishing cleaning, Zhou Sheng sat alone at the door of the milk tea shop and smoked. He still had some savings in his hand, which could at least meet the expenses of himself and his daughter at this stage, but what about next? Where should I go?

The man raised his head and looked at the deep night sky without saying a word.

More than ten years ago, air pollution was not so serious. In the small town of Xisui, you could see the sky full of stars almost every night.

Xu Luo suddenly appeared in Zhou Sheng's mind.

"Then it's agreed. If Uncle Zhou is in trouble, he must remember to go to my dad, or if he can't lose face, he can also go to me."

The man smiled, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and shook off several dark red sparks, which instantly turned into fly ash after streaking across the sky.

"Really, how can a 16-year-old kid help me? Is it because he won the lottery??"

At this time.

A young boy's voice suddenly came from the dark alley ahead.

"When I was 16, I might actually win the lottery, Uncle Zhou."

Almost at the same time, Zhou Sheng quickly raised his eyes and saw a young man walking out of the darkness alone, like a bright meteor, piercing the night.

Xu Luo shook the beer in the bag, with an unmistakable smile on his face, and said, "I just went to deal with some things. Uncle Zhou, how about we have a good chat?"

For some reason, Zhou Sheng always felt like he was in a trance when looking at the young boy with young appearance in front of him, especially when he looked through the smoke. The smoke was so thick that the boy's figure was a little blurry, but he felt that it was clearer.

……

Xu Luo has been very busy recently. He has been going to the snack street in Beicheng District for the past few days... No, it should be a commercial street now. In addition to negotiating with the relevant departments for compensation, he also needs to contact the decoration company to discuss matters related to decorating the store.

After returning home, I still have to cook for Jiang Yao. Well... He also said that the girl has started to learn to cook recently, although it is a bit unpalatable.

The summer vacation before the start of high school was very busy.

After finally taking care of all this, he learned from Xu's father that Zhou Sheng was leaving, so before he could take a good rest, Xu Luo ran non-stop to the milk tea shop on South Street of the town. Fortunately, Finally caught up.

After ten minutes,

Xu Luo, who explained his purpose of coming, sat opposite Zhou Sheng and drank beer leisurely.

After a while, until he finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, Zhou Sheng asked, "Does your father know about this?"

Xu Luo shook his head and replied: "My father doesn't know."

"That's it..."

He lit another cigarette and fell into deep thought.

Xu Luo wasn't in a hurry, just waiting for his answer quietly.

Compared to working with Xu Luo, Zhou Sheng actually prefers to work with Xu's father. After all, the former's age as a high school student is too scary.

I thought it was Xu Bin who sent his son to check his reputation, but I didn't expect that the young man wanted to start his own business.

Zhou Sheng asked again: "You mean to let Uncle Zhou work with you?"

"No, we are a partnership. As you know, I am not yet an adult and still have to go to school, so I need Uncle Zhou to help me run it."

Having been in sales for so many years, Xu Luo knows that if he wants to impress someone to cooperate with him, he must show sincerity.

What is sincerity?

interest.

"After it opens, I will give you 35% of the shares and we will run the store together. I have just made the detailed plan clear."

Listening to the young man saying that he would give himself 35% of the shares, Zhou Sheng immediately frowned and said, "It's too much. Xiaoluo, I haven't provided anything. At most, I'm just a storekeeper for you. The shares you gave me are really It’s too much and it’s against the rules.”

Hearing this, Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Without Uncle Zhou, my plan would not be launched at all. As for finding other people to run the business, I can't believe it, so Uncle Zhou deserves the 35% of the shares. "

"But……"

Seeing that he wanted to shirk, Xu Luo said hurriedly: "That's it, Uncle Zhou, I just want to say, do you want to do it or not?"

Xu Luo didn't lie. He did fall in love with Zhou Sheng, a man who was experienced and whom he could trust.

Looking around at these familiar arrangements, Zhou Sheng finally gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh and said, "Fuck you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Luo immediately stood up with a smile and extended his palm to his partner.

"Pleasant to work with."

One large and one small, the dark and white palms are tightly clasped together.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, with a faint smell of alcohol all over his body, Xu Luo returned to Xu's house on Lianchi Street.

The boy closed the door and crept up the stairs.

I thought Jiang Yao had gone back to her room to rest long ago,

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the living room on the third floor, he saw Jiang Yao curled up and asleep on the sofa.

She was lying on her side, her black hair was like a waterfall, one hand was hanging down naturally, and the other was placed under her head, her arm was pressing her collar, and she was hunched over, looking very guarded.

The TV in the living room was still playing a new TV series, and the sound was not too loud. Xu Luo knew that it was probably the girl who turned it on deliberately to embolden her courage.

She didn't dare to stay at home alone, especially at night. The reason why she turned on the TV was probably to create a lively atmosphere.

Turning off the TV in the living room, Xu Luo walked up to the girl, bent down, and gently picked her up.

It's a little lighter than expected.

Even though Xu Luo was very cautious, he still underestimated the girl's vigilance.

Before he had taken a few steps, the girl in his arms had signs of waking up.

Feeling herself being held in someone's arms and smelling the unfamiliar smell of alcohol, Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with panic, and she almost subconsciously wanted to struggle out of his arms.

The half-asleep girl began to flap her limbs vigorously, trying to wake up.

This scene shocked Xu Luo, who was about to fall down, so he quickly spoke.

"Jiang Yao Jiang Yao, it's me, Xu Luo."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's struggling movements suddenly stopped. She tried her best to open her eyes, and she finally saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.

"Xu Luo~"

As a result, the body that had just been straightened slowly relaxed, and soon became limp again in the boy's warm embrace.

His eyelids started to twitch up and down, and he looked drowsy, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet.

Xu Luo gently touched her head and said softly: "Be good, I'll take you back to the room to sleep."

A simple statement, not a question.

"Um……"

The girl who was still in his arms closed her eyes, with a reassuring smile on her face, and then nodded submissively, her arms subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and she kissed him in return.

In the summer night, the way the girl pouted her little mouth was not very charming, but it was rare and instantly touched the young man's heart.

"It's so cute..."

He smiled and poked Jiang Yao's face, then walked gently towards the bedroom.

It’s almost September, and high school life is really exciting.
