The world begins with shameless people

Xiuer Chinese Restaurant.

Carrying the more than twenty dollars he had earned, Karl walked in with a smile, then ran straight to the kitchen, opened the door, and said happily to Ding Xiu, "Ding Xiu, I know how to make money!"

"Oh?" Ding Xiu was a little curious, "Tell me about it."

Karl recounted in one breath the story of how he had just made money in the Alaibo Bar.

Ding Xiu was amused, "Don't tell me, it's really good. If you meet a beautiful woman with a matching style, you are indeed quite cute."

Karl scratched his head when he heard this.

This is a bit complicated, I can’t understand it, my head hurts.

"Of course," Carl said, not bothering to think about it anymore, taking out the money from his pocket and handing it to Ding Xiu, "It's twenty-eight US dollars in total. I'll pay you back this much first."

Ding Xiu smiled and hesitated for a moment. She felt that accepting the money might be better than not accepting the money, so she reached out and took it, "Karl, it's okay to make money, but don't do anything criminal."

"Okay, if you don't commit a crime, I will go to Ellabo to make money from now on," Karl smiled and nodded in agreement, "Then you continue working, I will go home."

Karl said let’s go.

"Aren't you going to have dinner?" Ding Xiu probably guessed how Karl would answer.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. I'll eat it again after I make money." Karl walked out of the kitchen without looking back.

Ding Xiu shook his head and did not insist.

Karl, a kid in the original play, seems to have never asked anyone for anything. Well, he will grab what he wants, and then he will be willing to accept it from others, but he almost never takes the initiative to ask for it.

Probably it has its own set of logic.

You can’t beg, you can rob.

Later, when I grew up, I stopped robbing him.

it's very funny.

After thinking about it, Ding Xiu continued busy.

Exited the restaurant.

Gurgling.

His stomach began to growl, so Karl touched it and immediately sped up and ran home. The schoolbag on his back was basically a decoration. It bounced and bounced happily as he ran.

Back to the Gallagher house.

Fiona, who had been waiting for a while, saw Karl and immediately asked anxiously, "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"

Karl smiled and said, "I went to Ding Xiu's restaurant. Is dinner ready? I'm hungry."

"Okay, come and eat," Fiona greeted without any nonsense, "Debbie, Lip, have dinner."

Hear the call.

Lip, who had a bruised nose and face, hugged Liam and sat at the dining table without saying a word.

Debbie was the same. After sitting down, she took another look at Lip and was very worried. Although she knew what happened to Lip not long ago, she still couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Lipp, are you fighting with someone?" , it can’t be because of Karen again.”

Lip glared at Debbie, "Eat dinner."

Debbie didn't dare ask anymore.

Karl ignored these things and wolfed down his food to fill his stomach a little. He looked around and realized that one person was missing, and asked Fiona, "Where's Ian?"

"Working," Fiona replied casually.

"How much money can he make in a day's work?" Karl asked again.

Fiona was slightly surprised, "Why do you ask this?"

"Curious," Carl said, not intending to reveal the money he made that night.

"Eighty-nine dollars an hour, a few hours, a few dozen dollars," Fiona answered without thinking too much.

Karl nodded and said nothing.

The Gallagher house was a little calmer tonight.

But of course.

This calm is destined not to last long.

************

grocery store.

Without that aspect, the relationship between Ian and Cathy is obviously a little strange.

Ian felt it, and so did Cathy.

"I'm sorry, I will get Linda pregnant as soon as possible," Cathy said softly to Ian after the customers left and there was no one else in the store for the time being.

Ian wasn't really sure what this strange feeling was, so he nodded slightly, "It's okay, no need to apologize, it's not your fault."

Kaixi smiled slightly, "It will be fine soon. Then we can do whatever we want."

Ian bit his lip, "It still can't be known to others."

Kaixi was speechless, "...there will be a day."

Ian didn't quite believe it, "Let's talk about it later, it's time to do the counting."

The conversation between the two ended temporarily.

The strange feeling became clearer.

It took about half an hour to sort out the goods.

Quarter past seven.

After saying goodbye to Cathy, Ian put on his schoolbag and went home from get off work.

Walked for a while.

Mickey held a cigarette in his mouth, walked past Ian with a very awkward step, and turned to look at Ian.

Ian also glanced at Mickey.

Neither of them spoke.

Mickey was faster and soon left Ian behind.

Ian was minding his own business and walking slowly.

The distance between the two people slowly lengthened.

Hospital parking lot.

Ding Xiu sat in the car, lit a cigarette, closed her eyes, and waited quietly.

Waited for almost five minutes.

Bianca walked to the car and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, I just arrived, get in the car," Ding Xiu responded with a smile.

Bianca got in the car.

"Have you had dinner?" Ding Xiu asked while driving.

"I've eaten at the hospital," Bianca replied, "You closed your business so early today?"

Ding Xiuxiao said, "I am a freelancer. The length of my business hours depends on my mood. Today's mood tells me that I should close the business early."

Bianca smiled, "Where are we going?"

"I booked a hotel. I heard it's pretty good. Let's go and experience it," Ding Xiu replied.

Regarding this kind of topic, Bianca was embarrassed to talk like this, so she didn't reply. She turned to look out the window and changed the topic, "What about your dog?"

"That silly dog ​​sleeps and eats every day. It's the same wherever he is. I asked Veronica to take him back."

"Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter," Ding Xiuxiao said, "By the way, speaking of Veronica, you know who she is."

Bianca nodded, "I know, that African American waiter in your restaurant."

"Well, she and her boyfriend Kevin are holding a wedding on the 1st of next month, and we are invited to be the best man and bridesmaid at noon today."

"Ah?" Bianca was startled and turned to look at Ding Xiu, a little anxious, "But I'm not familiar with her at all."

"Would you like to get familiar with it? We can get together when we have time," Ding Xiu asked. "If you feel it's inappropriate, I'll help you refuse."

Bianca hesitated for a few seconds, "I'll try."

"Thank you."

After talking about the business, the two started chatting and reached the hotel.

Bianca was not considered poor, but she was not considered rich either, so when she saw how luxurious the hotel was, she was a little shocked. After thinking about it, she said, "I will pay half of the room fee."
