the sun rises because of loving you

On the opening day of the bookstore, Bai Xi, Li Yuting, Qi Luyang and Lu Yang gave a pair of flower baskets to each other. The main entrance was not very big, but there was a bunch of colorful flowers around the entrance, which made people laugh and laugh.

"What are you sending this for? It's useless and there's no place to put it. It's such a hassle." Shang Lin laughed.

"It's okay, just put it away, there are essential necessities for the opening." Bai Xihe said in relief.

Shang Lin nodded, since he had already given them away, he would definitely keep them. Fortunately, the flower baskets are still pretty, and it would be nice to take them back and put them in vases.

Shang Lin originally wanted to ask Shang Li Yuting and the others to have a meal together, but he took Qi Luyang to the mountains to escape the summer heat yesterday, and he couldn't eat together, and the new store opened, and his business is very booming here, mostly students, Shang Lin had been busy all morning, so he didn't even have time to cook, so Bai Xihe went to another street to pack the whole grain noodles and brought them to him.

There could be fewer people in the restaurant at noon, so Shang Lin sat behind the cashier to eat, and had a few words with Bai Xihe by the way.

Bai Xihe raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and said distressedly: "If it's hot, turn on the air conditioner lower."

Shang Lin shook his head: "A high school student came to me just now and told me that the temperature of the central air conditioner was too low. It was very cold for him to read a book upstairs, so I turned it up two degrees. It's okay. I've been moving all the time. There will be fewer people in a while, and it will be better."

"Let's hire two more employees. At night, you have to sort out books, keep accounts, and occasionally purchase goods. There are many troubles. It is much more hectic than a coffee shop, and there is no need to recruit full-time employees. There are many part-time students in nearby schools. , take two more shifts, you can relax a bit, don't be too tired." Bai Xihe persuaded.

Shang Lin nodded in agreement. He happened to have the same idea. The book bar is not too big, but it is definitely not too small. Now there is only a girl left by the old uncle boss in the store. The garbage downstairs is cleaned by the way, and Shanglin is alone downstairs, so he can't be busy at all.

"I'll edit it tonight, type it out tomorrow, and paste it on the wall at the entrance." Shang Lin said.

"Yeah." Seeing that he was eating well, Bai Xihe brushed the hair on his cheeks, and rubbed his fingertips on his cheeks: "Is there enough food? You've been busy all morning and you're hungry, right? "

"Enough, it's quite a big portion." Shang Lin said vaguely.

Maoca had no customers at the moment, so Bai Xihe came over to help him after he finished eating and cleaned up the dishes.

Shang Lin smiled wryly and said: "It's been a long time since I felt this busy. I used to feel that I was free every day, but now I'm too busy."

Bai Xihe helped him mop the floor: "Normally, I rested at home for a long time before, and then I suddenly opened a cat cafe. I was not used to it. I was so tired that I doubted my life. At that time, Li Yuting couldn't take care of his own shop and didn't have time. Help me, it won't be better until I find Hu Qing. You are just beginning, and you can relax a little when you get a part-time job in a few days."

There are very few people on the first floor at the moment, and most of them are quietly picking out books. Shang Lin looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he walked over to give Bai Xihe a hug, and then squeezed his hand : "Sometimes I'm thinking, I wish I knew you five years in the morning, so that I can be by your side when you are particularly sad, and I can also accompany you through the confused time after the sad."

Bai Xihe put the mop against the wall, looked at him with a smile, and said in a low voice: "You just appeared just right. Although I have been instilled with Marxist ideas since I was a child, I still believe in destiny. Some people have different things. It should appear or happen at this time, a second earlier or later may have different results, we are together now, I already feel very blessed." After that, he seemed to be lost in memory, shook his head and sighed : "During that period of time, I myself had a bad time. I was confused and at a loss. If you see it, you will definitely not be tempted."

Shang Lin smiled, but said nothing.

He never liked to imagine things that didn't happen. Since it would never happen, what's the use of thinking about it?After thinking about it, it may not be absolute, but only for Bai Xihe, Shang Lin felt that no matter when he met him, he would be tempted, he was sure of that.

After the meal, Bai Xihe took the bowls and chopsticks back to clean, and there was no one in the store, so he took his iPad and came over to Shanglin to watch a movie. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Yinhu also rushed over, very fast, Bai Xi And didn't have time to stop it.

Bai Xihe didn't really want the cats to come here. After all, Shanglin's place is full of books, and the place is too big to manage. It would be troublesome if it gets scratched. But Yinhu seems to come here just to find a place to nest , circled twice in front of the cashier, jumped onto Shanglin's soft leather office chair, stretched a sticky waist on it, lay down motionless, and squinted his eyes to doze off.

Shang Lin and Bai Xihe couldn't laugh or cry, they didn't even have a place to sit.

"I'll buy a few cat litters some other day and install them here too, lest they come here and have no place to sleep and occupy my territory." Shang Lin said.

"It's okay, I'm afraid they will run around and scratch things for you."

"I can still see one or two, as long as you don't run around and jump around. I think you still have to look at Chisu and Erpi. Those two are too skinny for me to control."

Raising cats is like raising children. There are all kinds of personalities in the family. When Shang Lin mentioned it to Bai Xihe, he was helpless and spoiled. Even though the two little ones were a little more lively, Shang Lin didn't dislike them. That's all.

Shanglin recruited staff very quickly. In three days, Shanglin met several students and picked two more stable ones to stay and work.

The main tasks are serving drinks and snacks to the guests, tidying up the tables and bookshelves, categorizing the books brought out by the guests and putting them away at night. It is not too tiring, and the salary is very satisfactory to the two students.

Shang Zhu also helped to find an elementary school girl in his school, but their school is not close to here, and there are many classes during the week, so they can only come to work for two days on weekends, which just makes up for the boy they found earlier. suitable.

With the help of employees, Shanglin immediately felt a lot easier, just sit at the cash register to collect money, and the live broadcast that was stopped once before can also be made up for. The two children took turns to eat at noon, and there were not many people in the store. So he went to the cat cafe and asked Bai Xihe to take a photo for him, and then started cooking.

"I've been very busy this month. I asked for leave last week. I made up for it today and will continue next week." Shang Lin said.

Bai Xihe read a few comments to him, and Shang Lin answered them one by one. When it came to the bookstore, he said with a smile: "There is a bookstore next door to Boss Bai. It just opened a few days ago, and there are no more employees. Busy, I settled down two students yesterday, so I won’t be busy today.”

——You two are so tired of it!To open a store, you have to sit in rows?

——My brother, you and I have done all the things I want to do the most, and today is still a lemon essence.

——Brother, I may go to Yuancheng for a trip on eleventh, so I will look for it and see if I can find out where your store is!

"You can find it, but Yuancheng is so big, I won't reveal the information to you." Shang Lin said slyly.

Bai Xihe especially liked his appearance, cute and clever.

"It's not too troublesome to make Xinjiang's hand-picked rice today. The recipe will be distributed in the evening, so don't worry about asking me for it."

When it comes to recipes, Shang Lin really felt Bai Xihe's proficiency in his profession. The software doesn't take up memory, the little ones don't get stuck, and even the text rarely makes mistakes. Shang Lin has used it for so long, only I feel very comfortable.

Occasionally, when Bai Xihe had some new ideas, he would give him an upgrade.

But what made him the happiest was because it was specially made for him by Bai Xihe, a unique software that only belonged to him, and the meaning was different.

Bai Xihe usually doesn't have people here at noon, so he followed Shang Lin to the bookstore to eat, and it happened that the two students had finished their meal and came back. Following the scent, they were obviously full and saw the hands in their bowls. I am hungry again.

"Brother Lin, did you do it yourself?" The boy's name is Qi Lin, which sounds very grand, but according to him, it's just that his parents' surnames were merged.

Qi Lin is very cheerful. He is a sophomore this year, and he is in the D University in the next street. He comes to work when he is not in class, and Shanglin pays him an hourly salary.

"Yeah." Shang Lin nodded: "I know how to make something, and if I have nothing to do, I can make it myself."

"It's amazing, it smells so good." The girl's name was Cheng Yuning, she was already a senior, and she didn't want to work in the big company arranged by her family, but came to apply for a bookstore employee.

When Shanglin asked her before, she said that she just wanted to find a quiet place to work, not necessarily a high salary, and also liked to read books. She was very diligent, and she could put down the book and work inside just by calling her, and Shang Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Shang Lin half-jokingly said: "If you want me to provide meals, you will have to deduct your salary!"

Qi Lin was looking forward to it: "Is it really possible? I'd be happy if you deducted [-]% from me a day, it looks too delicious!"

"How much money you have a day, half of it is deducted."

"It's okay! I come to work to earn pocket money for myself." Qi Lin said indifferently.

"Okay." Shang Lin smiled: "Next time I cook, I'll bring you a copy, anyway, it's okay if there are two more people."

"Really!" Cheng Yuning was pleasantly surprised: "Boss, you are too kind!"

Shang Lin smiled: "You just have to work hard for me, I don't have any demands, I won't criticize you."

The two promised again and again, and happily went to work. Bai Xihe had a smile on his lips: "How does it feel to be your own boss?"

Shang Lin glanced at him reproachfully: "What can I do? I don't even consider myself the boss, and these two kids are quite sensible. I recruited employees to make myself easier. As long as they can give me It’s satisfying to share.”

"When I first met you, I thought you were short-tempered. I thought you would change after getting acquainted with you. I didn't expect that your personality is really like this."

Shang Lin was helpless: "I used to think that I was a bitch and a mother-in-law, but I'm already in my 20s, and I can't change it if I want to."

Bai Xihe shook his head and said, "No need to change it, you're fine, I like it very much."
