Corrective Action 6

The dark night is cold and windy, and the night in mid-November has gradually seeped into the bones of the chill. Before 07:30, the sky was dark, as dark as ink, and the warm yellow lights in the cafe reflected a few figures. The glass door Pushed away, the newly hung wind chimes sounded crisp and sweet.

"Welcome." Awen raised his head from the drowsy magazine, and subconsciously opened his mouth, seeing that the person coming was not in a good mood, "Didn't the shift change at 08:30? What are you doing here so early?"

Ah Wu stomped his feet that were so cold that he couldn't feel it, and complained, "It's because Xiao Wufei dragged me here, or you think I want to come so early."

Cheng Chen, who was following behind him, rubbed his frozen red hands, turned around and closed the door. The glass door blocked the chill from outside the shop, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I always have to come here. It won't be so cold if you come here earlier." He took off the alpaca scarf around his neck, went to the lounge in the inner room, changed into his uniform and stood next to Awen to clean the stained coffee cup.

Awen rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Since you are here, I'll leave first. I'm so sleepy, I haven't even had dinner yet."

Ah Wu grabbed Ah Wen's arm and yelled, "No, you don't get off work until 07:30 according to the duty schedule. You call it an early leave. Be careful and I will tell the boss."

"You are all here, do you need three people on duty? Get out of the way." Awen tore off the claws hanging on his arms, and happily went to the rest room to get his coat and put it on.

Cheng Chen cleaned up the coffee cups and small plates left on the table by the window, took them to the sink, washed them, put them in the disinfection cabinet, and asked, "By the way, Brother Awen, where did Brother Changping go?"

"Changping? Oh, several households in the community have ordered takeaway, and he's going to deliver." Ah Wen buttoned up his buttons, put on a scarf, and covered himself up tightly. , If he comes back later and tells him that I am waiting for him to pay at the ramen restaurant."

As soon as the glass door was opened and closed, the wind chime rang twice, and Ah Wu came out of the lounge after changing clothes, "Brother Wen is gone?"

"Yeah." Cheng Chen took out Martian English and sat on the fabric sofa next to the cash register to memorize words.

Ah Wu made a cup of cappuccino and a piece of green tea cake in front of him, and complained while playing on his mobile phone while eating, "It's all because you came so early, I didn't even have time to eat."

"You have to play games if you don't go to dinner together." Cheng Chen silently recited the words, looked up at the cake on his table, and said seriously, "Also, you have to pay for this cake yourself."

"What are you afraid of, the employee's price is [-]% off." A Wu said indifferently, stuffing the cake into his mouth, "What do you read in English?"

"We're going to take the CET-[-] exam next month, so I have to review it."

Cheng Chen turned back to the previous page and read the unfamiliar words twice more.Ah Wu stared at him, "Huh? Level [-]? Is there such a thing?"

"Didn't you sign up?"

"It doesn't seem to be there? Oh, I don't know. What's the use of passing the test? Anyway, the graduation certificate is not linked to the fourth and sixth grades. What are you afraid of? Besides, those who have passed the fourth and sixth grades don't necessarily have to speak English. "Ah Wu, who had eaten and drank enough, stretched his waist, "Xiao Wu, I'll go to bed first, I'm sleepy after playing games all afternoon, call me when something happens."

Ah Wu put away the quilt and dishes, washed them, and rushed into the small bed in the lounge.Cheng Chen looked at the big clock hanging on the wall. At 7:40, he lowered his eyes, with little expectation in his heart.

7:50,8:00,8:10……一直到9：00，除了几个晚上出门散步回来，顺便买夜宵的人，咖啡厅里再没有进来过客人。

"Conscious, the adjective consciousness, the fixed collocation beconsciousof..." He looked up at the door, there was still no one, only the howling cold wind.

Cheng Chen put down his English book, got up and put down the bamboo curtain of the French window, and at the same time drew the gauze curtain, the darkness outside the window was blocked, leaving only a glass door to see who was coming, sat back on the sofa again, and hugged a heart-shaped Pillow memorize words seriously.

The Ling's restaurant was brightly lit and the table was full of dishes.

Ling Che ate the last bite of braised pork with a black face, while Ling Suming was still muttering about it.

"How is Xiaoyun? Isn't she pretty? Are you serious about your work recently? Take good care of her, after all, she is the granddaughter of your Grandpa Zhou's family..."

Ling Che threw down his job, grabbed his coat and opened the door, "Grandpa, I'm going back first."

"It's past eight o'clock, what are you going back for? Just stay here at night, and your grandpa Zhou will come over later!"

Ling Suming put down the bowl and chopsticks in dissatisfaction and stared at him.

Ling Che put on his coat, "No, it's fine for you to talk about it alone. If there is another Grandpa Zhou, I'm afraid I will go to jail tomorrow."

"Why did you go to jail?"

"I'm afraid that sleepwalking at night will kill someone with a knife."

Ling Che opened the door, and Ling Suming stood up and yelled, "Kill someone? Why do you want to sleepwalk and kill someone? Xiao Che, don't leave yet, hey, Xiao Che..."

Ling Che got in the car and started the car, sighed, why did you kill someone, and it wasn't because you were nagging too much.

As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, the car sped out. In the dark night, the silver car body passed by like a shooting star. It drove from the suburbs to the urban area, and finally stopped outside the gate of the community.

He opened the car door, and the cool breeze rushed in, shivering involuntarily.It was dark all around, and there was a faint yellow light in the coffee shop not far away. It was the coffee shop where I bought sandwiches for a month.

He raised his foot subconsciously, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of the coffee shop, smiling wryly in his heart, as expected, he ate too many sandwiches, so he walked here unknowingly.

Pushing open the door and entering, a gust of wind blew crisp wind chimes, but he didn't hear the familiar "Welcome" when he sat in.

Ling Che saw that fair-skinned and handsome little boy was sleeping soundly on the fabric sofa hugging a heart-shaped pillow, and there was a book of vocabulary words that must be memorized for the fourth grade of English spread out beside him.

Just do business like this, what if a thief comes?Ling Che smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and went up to wake him up. The small door behind the cash register was pushed open, and a big boy with a thick back came out. He looked about 20 years old, and he was yawning and rubbing his eyes. They all stared round, and it took a long time to recover and shouted, "Welcome, what do you want to drink, sir?"

"A mocha, thank you."

After Ling Che answered in a low voice, he subconsciously looked at the boy who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, frowned slightly as if dissatisfied with being disturbed, moved his body uncomfortably, and fell back into a deep sleep.

"Will he not catch a cold if he sleeps like this?"

Ling Che took over the hot coffee and pointed worriedly at the person sleeping next to him.Ah Wu smiled embarrassedly, "It's all right, I'll let him go to the lounge inside to rest later."

"Are you open 24 hours a day and don't rest at night? Is it always like this?"

A Wu scratched his head, "No rest, or rest in rotation, three shifts a day, from 08:30 in the morning to 02:30 in the afternoon, then from 02:30 in the afternoon to 08:30 in the evening, and then a whole [-]-hour night shift , but Xiaowu and I are still students, everyone takes good care of us, and we only need to be on duty on Friday night."

"Little five?"

Ling Che looked suspiciously at the big boy in front of him. The boy smiled and pointed to the person lying on the sofa, "Yes, that's him. He even said to watch for me, but he actually fell asleep."

Ah Wu walked towards Cheng Chen, shook his arm first, he opened it impatiently, Ling Che picked up his coffee, looked back, pushed open the door and left.

"Hey, get up," Ah Wu pinched the tip of Cheng Chen's pretty nose, "Go to sleep inside."

Cheng Chen's eyelashes trembled, the glass door was pushed open, and the wind chime made a crisp sound. He opened his eyes and saw the figure of the person leaving the door in a blur, still a bit dazed, the cold wind that hadn't dissipated brought the chill to him. wide awake.

"Awu? Are you awake?"

Cheng Chen rubbed his shoulders and slept on the sofa all the time, his neck was a little stiff.

A Wu stood up and pointed at him dissatisfied, "I agreed to watch the store and I'll sleep, but you fell asleep yourself. If it wasn't for my shallow sleep, the store would have been stolen."

A Wu said bitterly, "Just now there was a customer, that gentleman who often came to buy sandwiches and black coffee, fortunately it was him, otherwise a thief came in, I see how you explain to the boss."

"Is that gentleman here?"

Cheng Chen glanced around energetically, but he didn't see anyone, and Ah Wu jumped up and said madly, "That's not the point I'm talking about!"

"Oh, what's the point?" Seeing no one, Cheng Chen yawned in disappointment, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, the stubby hour hand pointed at ten, it was almost ten o'clock, no wonder so sleepy.

Seeing that his eyes were dazed and lifeless, Ah Wu gave up and said, "Forget it, go to sleep, it's ten o'clock now, and I'll wake you up to change shifts in the early morning."

Cheng Chen nodded and said seriously, "If you get tired anytime, just wake me up, understand?"

"Don't worry," Ah Wu patted his chest and said, "Who is my brother? If you have nothing to do, you go to an Internet cafe to stay up all night. These are small cases for me. Don't worry, go to sleep."

Cheng Chen opened the small door of the lounge, and almost fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down. Ah Wu sat behind the half-person cash register, turned on the computer against the wall, and played games on his own.

At 3:40 in the morning, Cheng Chen opened the door and urged Ah Wu to go to bed after washing. He sat in front of the computer and opened the website to read the news. The lights go out.

Ling Che unconsciously opened his eyes, his whole body was full of sleep, and he turned on his phone. It was only 6:10, and he was already awake without any sleepiness. He got up and opened the curtain. The sky was just a little white. Put on casual clothes, grabbed the keys and change, and went downstairs.

Downstairs, it was already daylight, and beside me, a group of early-rising old men and women were dancing their swords in the rhythm of "one, two, three, four, two, three, four" on the melodious bamboo flute.

Ling Che ran five laps around the community. The perimeter of the 400-square-meter complex was only about [-] meters. He was sweating profusely, and seemed to have dispelled the depression and depression of the previous few months. happy.

Ling Che fumbled for the change in his pocket, and walked into the 24-hour coffee shop by the neighborhood. The coffee shop was quiet before seven o'clock. The little boy who slept soundly on the sofa last night was concentrating on reading.

The wind chime of "Dingling", Cheng Chen put on a smile and shouted before he could see who was coming, "Welcome, what do you want to drink, sir?"

Ling Che wiped off the fine sweat from his forehead, and replied, "A cup of coffee and a sandwich."

Cheng Chen saw the person coming clearly. He was wearing a light gray sportswear, his slightly long black hair was disheveled and exposed his smooth forehead, and his face was flushed after exercising. He was more youthful and handsome than his usual suit and leather shoes.He lowered his head, his face unconsciously stained with a thin blush.

Ling Che looked suspiciously at the boy who was usually nimble, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Cheng Chen's fair face flushed, and he mustered up the courage to look up, and Nuo said, "It's not good to drink coffee on an empty stomach in the morning."

Ling Che only saw the boy's lips move, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and asked him with concern, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Chen could only feel his face was burning hot. When he met the man's concerned gaze, he could only suppress his shyness and said seriously, "It's not good to drink coffee in the morning."

Ling Che couldn't help laughing, it was only for this reason, he looked softly at the boy in front of him, "All right, you recommend one."

Cheng Chen's eyes widened, his face became redder, he thought for a while and whispered, "You can drink rice milk with five grains and fresh fruits, and then order a piece of honey cake."

"Okay, it's all up to you." The man agreed heartily, "But I don't have enough money with me, so I hope it won't be too expensive."

Cheng Chen said anxiously, "No, this one is cheaper than coffee and sandwiches, really." He entered the data into the cash register, and hurriedly prepared things, fearing that the customer would regret it in the next second, he turned his head to look at the people behind him from time to time .

Ling Che listened to his anxious explanation, and solemnly added "really" at the end of the sentence, his white face flushed like jade, and he really wanted to pinch that tender face hard.

Cheng Chen packed the rice milk and cake and handed them over, "It's 17 yuan in total."

Ling Che handed over the money, and took the rice milk and cake, which were really hot.

"I charge you 17 yuan, please go slowly." The boy smiled politely.

Ling Che nodded, "Thank you."

When I got home, I took a shower and changed my clothes, and opened the still warm breakfast. The rich and fragrant rice milk warmed the esophagus, and the soft cake was sandwiched with shallow honey, which was really delicious.

Ling Che was drinking rice milk, flipping through the newspaper, and the image of the boy flashed across his mind.
