Quick Travel: The host must die in every plane
Chapter 5 The redemption of the paranoid boy (5)
Uncle Liu has a hot temper and many rules. It turns out that being his apprentice is not an easy task.
Su Ye was assigned a lot of work on the first day he reported, carrying flour, carrying buckets, and kneading dough. It was all physical work.
Uncle Liu didn't show mercy at all just because Su Ye was a girl. Su Ye not only had endless work to do, but also had to endure the old man's bad temper.
This old man is very good at scolding people. He will be scolded if he is slow to fetch water, if the dough is hard, he will be scolded, and even if he pours a bowl of tea, he will be scolded.
No wonder he has no friends anymore and has a bad temper. In other words, Su Ye is thick-skinned. If it were a girl with a slightly thinner face, she would probably be scolded by the old man on the first day.
Normally, Su Ye would not be scolded for nothing, but who knows that this old man really has real abilities.
Su Ye saw how he was making noodles. He was extremely focused and had strict requirements on every step. He used solid ingredients and the heat was just right. This was probably why the old man had such a bad temper and the store he ran could still thrive. reason.
Under Uncle Liu's strict requirements, Su Ye's craftsmanship improved day by day. After working diligently for a month, he could be considered successful.
Su Ye planned to say goodbye to Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu probably realized that it was time for Su Ye to leave, "Girl, you have to go back."
Su Ye respectfully replied: "Yes, Master Liu, school will start in a few days, and I will no longer be able to come to your store to help. Thank you for teaching me during this time. You must take good care of yourself in the future."
Uncle Liu's eyes seemed to dim for a moment. He said nothing and silently turned around to the back room and took out the envelope that had been prepared and handed it to Su Ye.
"Let's go, let's go. Without you, a girl asking me this and that all day long, I don't know how much cleaner I would be."
The old man didn't mean what he said.
After getting along for a month, Su Ye had already figured out the old man's temper. He immediately took the old man's hand intimately, put the envelope back into his hand, and said with a smile: "I am here to be your apprentice. You have taught me How can I collect money from you after you lose my ability? Don’t worry, I will come back to see you often in the future."
Uncle Liu was made happy, but he still pretended to be indifferent, "Take it as long as you are told. I am not Zhou Papi. Since you have done the work, this is what you deserve."
Having said this, the old man paused, turned his head and continued in a low voice: "As for whether you want to look at me or not, that's up to you!"
When it came to this point, Su Ye couldn't refuse, so he took the envelope and coquettishly promised the old man that he would definitely come back to see him before returning home.
Zhou Nan's birthday happens to be the day before school starts. Li Jianguo and Zhang Guifen are very busy these days, leaving early and coming back late all day long. Even his own mother forgot his birthday. After all, Zhou Nan was only a ten-year-old child. Although he didn't say anything, his face still clearly showed his unhappiness.
Su Ye planned to give Zhou Nan a surprise, so he didn't tell him in advance that he was going to celebrate his birthday.
When Zhou Nan is unhappy, she won't cry or make a fuss like other children, but will just sit down and read. This kind of child makes people feel even more distressed.
Su Ye got up early in the morning and started working. The one-month apprenticeship was not in vain. Now she is very good at making cakes. She also borrowed a ready-made mold from Master Liu, and the cake was made smoothly.
Most birthday cakes of this era were equipped with a lotus lantern, which would explode automatically when lit. There was a small candle on each petal. When the lantern exploded, the music of "Happy Birthday" would automatically play.
In order to create a more festive atmosphere for his birthday, Su Ye also asked Master Liu for a lotus lantern like this.
After dinner, Su Ye took out the birthday cake prepared in advance.
I saw Su Ye carefully holding a not-so-good-looking cake in front of him, looking at him expectantly with bright eyes. Zhou Nan was surprised when he saw the cake. He had seen birthday cakes sold outside, which were different from this one.
"Zhou Nan, congratulations on turning ten, happy birthday!"
Zhou Nan stared at the cake in front of him intently. This was the first birthday cake he had ever received in his life, and he was a little in disbelief.
Su Ye excitedly inserted the lotus lantern on the cake and lit it on fire. The exploding lotus flowers and the decoration of candles looked extremely beautiful under the dim light.
"Come on, come on and make a wish!"
The candles on the lotus lantern are very small and cannot burn for long. Su Ye urged Zhou Nan to make a wish quickly.
"Make a wish?" Zhou Nan looked confused.
"Yes, you have to make a wish on your birthday, just like me." Su Ye closed his eyes and made a wish, but did not forget to remind: "But don't say it out loud, it won't work. "
Under Su Ye's expectant gaze, Zhou Nan dubiously imitated Su Ye's example and made a wish.
After Zhou Nan finished making his wish, Su Ye couldn't wait to urge him to blow out the candles.
"Blow out the candles in one breath."
After blowing out the candles, it’s time to give gifts.
Su Ye took out the gift he had prepared in advance from the quilt, a latest school bag, which he bought with the salary given by Master Liu.
"Brother Zhou Nan, I think the schoolbag you used to carry for too long is a little dirty. With this new schoolbag, you can carry two schoolbags interchangeably."
The cake and schoolbag in front of him seemed to turn into a beam of warm light that shined into Zhou Nan's dusty heart.
No matter how deep Zhou Nan pretends to be, she is actually just a ten-year-old boy. After getting along with her for a few months, he knows that his nominal sister has no ill intentions towards him, and even has a little bit of flattery. This kind of He was not offended by flattery.
If a person has been walking in the ice and snow for too long, he will not be able to help but try to get closer when he encounters a little warm firelight. If he can hold on to that little bit of light, he will not let go easily.
Zhou Nan raised his head and showed the brightest smile since arriving at this house, "Thank you, sister."
Su Ye couldn't believe her ears. She could still hear this little brat calling her "sister" in her life. She suddenly felt like her own little brat had grown up.
Su Ye happily touched Zhou Nan's head and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we are siblings and relatives!"
If Su Ye knew that she was most afraid of hearing this "sister" in the future, maybe she wouldn't be so happy now. Of course, all this is a story later.
That night, the two siblings, one big and one small, sat happily eating cakes under the dim light. Their relationship also underwent a subtle change.
