Soling Internet Cafe

After wiping the last chair clean with a rag, Chu Lingya looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

The condition of the small warehouse is better than he imagined. There is a single bed and a flip table nailed to the wall. After stacking the sundries in the corner, the extra space is just enough to add a simple wardrobe. The box spreader can also be used as a shelf.

The window was facing the end of the bed, facing the backyard. Chu Lingya opened the window and took a look. There was another entrance in the backyard, which looked a bit like the front, probably where Xie Rujian lived.

"Close the window." Xie Rujian came in with the quilt in his arms and put him on the bed. "There are bugs at night."

"Okay." Chu Lingya closed the window, shook off the quilt, and began to make the bed.

"Xiao Chu," Xie Rujian called him, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"

"Remember. You can't open the windows at night, you have to stop work at 9 o'clock, you have to go back to the house before 10 o'clock, you can go to the toilet in the front yard with a light before 12 o'clock, you can't go anywhere after 12 o'clock, and you want to go to the toilet. There is no promise of any voice, no opening of the door, and no going out."

"Isn't this normal?"

"Ok?"

"Hey," Xie Rujian said, "Come out and work when you're done."

"Okay." Chu Lingya asked, "What about dinner?"

"Eat instant noodles, one bag is free for every meal, and if you want to order takeaway, you will pay for it yourself."

Chu Lingya took out a handful of vegetables, half a fish and a piece of meat from the pocket hanging on the box: "Just stopped by the vegetable market to buy it, can I borrow it for the kitchen?"

Xie Rujian was stunned for a while: "Huh?"

"Where is the kitchen?"

Xie Rujian pointed to the backyard, and Chu Lingya passed by.

"Wait!" Xie Rujian suddenly came to his senses and hurried to chase after him. Chu Lingya had already walked into the backyard.

There is no locust tree in the backyard, and a kitchen is built on the side.Chu Lingya walked in, and found that there was an old-fashioned stove inside, and he had to chop wood to make a fire, and it was obvious that the cold pot and cold stove could not be done for a while.

"I saw a supermarket on the road just now. I'm going to buy an induction cooker. Wait for me for a while." Chu Lingya said, and ran out in a hurry. When she stepped out of the gate, the bell rang again.This time Chu Lingya saw it clearly, it was a small white porcelain bell with a few strokes of red lacquer painted on it, it was an ancient seal character.

"seal up".

Chu Lingya glanced at it, then hurried to go shopping.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chu Lingya and Xie Rujian were eating hot pot on the induction cooker in the yard.

The lights were on in the Internet cafe, and there were only a few people surfing the Internet. They were so greedy for the smell of their hot pot that they went offline after playing for a long time.

"Thank you boss, can you take me to eat next time, I'm almost starving to death."

"No," Xie Rujian said, "Go home and find your wife, why don't you have a big meal?" Obviously they know each other.

The man smiled "hee hee" and waved away.

The yard was quiet, except for the bubbling sound of "gudu gudu" soup base, occasionally mixed with a contented sigh.

"Really delicious."

Chu Lingya sliced ​​the fish fillets, poured them into the soup one by one, and took them out immediately. The snow-white fish fillets were dipped in the sauce he made, full of delicious fragrance, and they were all put into Xie Rujian's bowl.

"It seems that our Internet cafe's business is not very good?"

"It's all taken care of by the neighbors nearby, so it's good to survive." Probably because he ate comfortably and was in a good mood, Xie Rujian had a smile on his face, "Do you regret it?"

"No, I'm just thinking about how to do a better job in business." Chu Lingya asked, "Young people like to play games all night, and other Internet cafes open all night, why don't we open it?"

"It can't be opened." Xie Rujian Xilihulu finished a bowl of rice, put down the chopsticks, and patted his belly with satisfaction, "The environment doesn't allow it."

"surroundings?"

"Yeah. After eating, clean up the garbage. There is a garbage can on the right when you go out. Just put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen." Xie Rujian stood up, "By the way, remember to separate the garbage."

"Brother Rujian..."

Xie Rujian glanced at him.

"Thank you boss," Chu Lingya changed his words, "Aren't you going to stay and look at the store?"

"I have something to go out." Xie Rujian stood up, "Work hard, don't wait for me."

"Oh."

Seeing Xie Rujian go out, Chu Lingya put a bowl of cooked fish fillets in front of the tortoiseshell cat. The cat stretched out a paw and pushed it back seriously: "Meow."

Chu Lingya glanced back, changed it into a bowl of meat, and put it in front of the cat again.

Tortoise glanced at him, and he glanced at Tortoise, then put a finger to his mouth, making a "shh" gesture, Tortoise understood, put the meat and the bowl in his mouth, slipped aside In the bushes, I buried my head and ate quickly.

"Hululu..." The cat purred comfortably, and Chu Lingya couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch it. The next moment, Tortoise looked up and looked at him with warning eyes.

Chu Lingya had no choice but to put down her hands resentfully: "Then take it easy."

"Internet, is there anyone?"

"Here we come!" Chu Lingya got up and greeted the guests.

……

"Huh, the hot pot here is really delicious." Wang Zixuan sighed while eating the meat, "Xiao Yu, your boyfriend is really good to you."

Wu Weihao and Zheng Ziyu are hugging each other, the young lovers love each other, they eat like Siamese twins.Wu Weihao brought three buddies here today, one is fat called Fatty, one with dyed hair is called Ah Huang, and there is a four-eyed frog called Fighting Chicken. They are vivid and easy to remember.

"Brother Viagra, it's a rare chance to see my sister-in-law today. How can I enjoy myself just eating, I should give my brother a few chances to toast my sister-in-law." Ah Huang yelled, "Waiter, bring the drink order."

"Hey, your sister-in-law doesn't know how to drink, so stop shouting, waiter, I don't want any more wine."

Zheng Ziyu pressed her boyfriend's hand: "It's rare to be happy, it's not impossible to drink a little."

Wu Weihao looked at her in surprise: "Don't force yourself, you are all your own, don't listen to them."

"It doesn't matter if you are the only one." Zheng Ziyu leaned over and said a little shyly, "I can't embarrass you when we meet for the first time."

Wu Weihao was overjoyed, and kissed Zheng Ziyu on the cheek: "All right, just have a drink."

The waiter quickly served five beers.Zheng Ziyu saw that the alcohol content was only 5, so he felt relieved.

"My brothers each have a bottle, and my sister-in-law and this young lady each have a bottle. Is this all right?"

"Stop looking down on people," Zheng Ziyu opened the bottle cap and poured himself a glass, "Let me toast everyone first."

"Wow, sister-in-law is so refreshing!"

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zheng Ziyu drank into a puddle and was stuffed into the car by Wu Weihao.

"Drink, drink again, don't stop me!" Zheng Ziyu held Wu Weihao tightly, his whole body limp.

"I told you not to drink so much, just look at you." Wu Weihao reached out to wipe the alcohol from Zheng Ziyu's lips, and got into the driver's seat.

Wang Zixuan was already drunk, and was snoring while sitting on the steps in front of the hotpot restaurant.

"Brother Wei, what's going on this time? Is it the same as last time?" Huang Mao asked, looking at Zheng Ziyu from time to time.

Zheng Ziyu is a sophomore in high school this year. He is 17 years old. He is tall and beautiful. He looks like a girl in her twenties.

"I don't have your share today." Wu Weihao smiled darkly, "I'll give it to you when I get tired of playing, that girl, just the one at the door, whoever wants to play will take it away, let's talk about it first, and clean up if you have any problems. "

"Ah, that's so fat..." Huang Mao snorted in disgust, "It's a good match for a fat man."

"Bah." The fat man scolded, "I'm so talented and beautiful, why can't I find someone who is thinner?"

"If you don't want it, I will." Fighting Chicken smiled sullenly, "I just learned something recently, and I want to try it."

Wu Weihao took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet: "Take it and use it, don't play to your death, you can sell it for a good price after training."

"Understood, Viagra."

The red Ferrari fumes away under the neon lights.

……

"Sorry sir, we're closed."

The only guest on the Internet stretched and rose unhappily.

"Why do you close the door so early, what a broken place, I won't come next time."

Chu Lingya sent the guests away with a smile on her face in good spirits. Looking at the turnover today, it was 30 yuan.

Chu Lingya was a little confused, he didn't expect that the business situation of Saoling Internet Cafe was even worse than he thought.

After writing down the account, paying the payment, checking all the computers and shutting them down after cleaning, Xie Rujian hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where he has gone.

Chu Lingya went to the washbasin in the front yard to fetch a basin of water, boiled a pot of hot water, took a shower, and then washed the changed clothes.When it was time to dry it, he hesitated, and finally saluted the locust tree in the courtyard: "Excuse me." He found a rope, tied one end to the locust tree branch, and the other end to the pillar in the main room, and hung the clothes to dry. up.

The tortoiseshell was chasing a bouncing ball in the yard. It turned out to be a luminous ball, and it flickered and floated under the dim light, which made people think about it.

Chu Lingya carefully avoided it, fearing that she would step on the cat's tail, and it was exactly ten o'clock when everything was done.

Then go back to the house.

Chu Lingya turned off the lights in the main room, and went back to her dormitory, and found an old-style oil lamp beside the bed at some point.It is made of brass, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a handle, and there is lamp oil inside, burning a little constant dim light.

Chu Lingya carefully picked up the lamp and looked at it, then turned off the lamp again.

The oil lamp was only dimly lit, and it looked like it couldn't be turned on, and I didn't know how long it would last.

It was pitch black outside the window, and there seemed to be no one in the backyard.

Chu Lingya turned over and fell asleep.

I don't know when, I dozed off in a daze, until I was awakened by a knocking sound.

In the dim light, the sound resounded very regularly, knock, knock, knock, knock...

Chu Lingya listened for a while, and recognized that it was the voice from the rear window.
