Released

Zhou Xi didn't stay for dinner.

When Lu Xiangyang came back, he left.Before leaving, a gentle and strange girl came into the store, wearing a coat with a wide hood designed with cat ears hanging down, which looked very special.

The girl waved to Lu Xiangyang and smiled sweetly. Her long hair was frizzy, like a cotton candy.

All ages eat.The word quickly floated through Zhou Xi's mind.He turned around and went out the door without looking back.

Zhou Xi suddenly understood why dinners and banquets were the way to celebrate happy events.

It turns out that emotions have such a great impact on appetite.So much so that when Lu Xiangyang asked him what he wanted to eat, he just wanted to run away.

He closed his eyes, and the street lights on the side of the road came on one by one.

Today is Friday.

The pace of life in small places is relatively slow. Every Friday night, students and working parties who welcome the weekend will take the opportunity to come out to relax and have fun, and the streets are much more lively.

Miancheng is obviously the place where he grew up.But when he was walking against the crowds on the road, all sentient beings rubbed shoulders with him, but it seemed as if he was passing a strange traveler.

It seems that everyone in the world has a home, except him.

The cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly, Zhou Xi took it out and saw a familiar cell phone number was displayed on the screen.

Zhou Xi clicked on the connection, put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello? Teacher Xu."

In contrast, Lu Xiangyang's store was much more lively.

"What do you need?" Lu Xiangyang looked at the girl and said, "If you order a cake, I'll show you a picture."

The girl with a cat hood sat down in his shop, and said obediently, "I want that kind of cake, it's a mini version, small, short, with a cream like a lazy head on top." kind of."

Lu Xiangyang was amused by her strange description: "Cupcake?"

"Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes." The girl nodded frantically, "Oh, boss, you are too good."

"How many do you want?" Lu Xiangyang quickly wrote it down on the paper, "When do you want it?"

According to Lu Xiangyang's experience, cupcakes are usually ordered for small events such as girlfriends parties, company afternoon tea, etc. Because of their delicate shapes, they are one of the desserts that little girls like very much. Normally, the order size is not very large.

"Hmm..." The girl took out her mobile phone and calculated, "500 is definitely needed."

It really is a group order.

Lu Xiangyang raised his pen: "If you want 500, you can deliver them at noon tomorrow at the earliest."

"But it doesn't seem to be enough. Adding parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, aunts and uncles..." She clicked, "I'll do the math."

So it sounds like an order for a family wedding banquet or something.

Lu Xiangyang sighed while listening to her thoughts, what a huge family.

After the girl finished her calculations, she turned the screen to Boss Lu: "2000."

"2000?!"

What kind of family is this!There is a mine at home!

Lu Xiangyang, who has experienced many battles, still trembled when he heard this number: "Where are you sending it?"

"I want it on Sunday morning, and send it to Sunflower Huahua Kindergarten." The girl blinked, "Is that okay?"

"Sunflower Kindergarten, there are so many children?" Lu Xiangyang took a breath, "I really can't tell it normally."

"No, no, no." The girl recalculated for him again, "Look, we have 500 children. Because there will be performances in the event, the children's relatives and friends usually have the whole family out, and the parents will definitely come. If If you count the parents, it is 500x2, plus 1000 small cakes."

Listening to her description, Lu Xiangyang felt that he was doing a brain teaser plus an Olympiad comprehensive problem.

"Then add in the grandparents, uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts who come and go from time to time, and the bear children who can eat two, three, four, five small cakes in one breath, and our teacher team, and we have to add another 500. A total of It's 2000."

This is an intricate economic issue in which children drive the GDP development of the small cake industry.

"Okay." Lu Xiangyang took out his mobile phone, "Add me on WeChat, and I'll send you the case."

At this moment, the shop door opened with a jingle, Lu Xiangyang raised his head, and saw Qingqing and Xiaohua in big bags.

"Whose car is that black car at the door?" Qingqing began to shout as soon as she entered the door, "Oh, compared to my car, I am simply a poor man."

"I didn't see anyone. It's been two days. Why are you back?" Lu Xiangyang was stunned, "Your little assistant has already closed the door and left."

"Ouch." Qingqing sighed and brushed her hair back, "I, Gu Yunqing, have been working so hard. I'm halfway through the road. I received a big order and asked me to come over to see a style."

Lu Xiangyang pointed to the girl in the cat hood next to him: "What a coincidence, I also received a big order. Comrade Xiaohua, I'll be here on time tomorrow."

Xiaohua's body was covered with packages, she stood up from a pile of shopping bags firmly and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu!"

The wechat friend passed, and the wechat avatar of the girl in the cat hood is her own selfie, which happens to be today's dress.It's just that the hat is put on, with two cat ears standing up, which looks more playful.

The WeChat name is also very cute, it is called: Touching a concave meow.

Lu Xiangyang wrote the order, couldn't help but slipped and read it out, Qingqing followed and turned her head to look.

"Okay, boss." The girl in the cat hood stood up and put the bag on her back, "I'll send you the style you want."

"Hey?!" Qingqing yelled immediately, "Aren't you the one, Teacher Miaomiao?!"

Lu Xiangyang went to the kitchen to make four cups of tea.

The tea cups used today are still being disinfected and dried in the cupboard, and I haven't had time to take them out yet.Boss Lu used disposable paper cups. In order to prevent taking them by mistake, he wrote everyone's names on the cups with a black liner.

Qingqing, Huahua, and... Meow.There are so many strokes.

While writing, Boss Lu remembered that he drank Zhou Xi's cup by mistake during lunch today.At that moment, Zhou Xi looked at him with calm and deep eyes, and he almost couldn't catch it.

Freshly brewed tea is hot.The hot air floated up and steamed onto his face, and his ears were also faintly hot.

"Bring more tea, Mr. Lu." Sister Qingqing shouted from a distance, "I was so sleepy driving."

"Here we come." Lu Xiangyang asked Xiaohua to take a cup, "Speaking of which, didn't you go to the hospital? Why did you buy so many things?"

"There were too many people in the hospital on Friday afternoon, so I just persuaded them to leave. Let's go another day. We went to the mall." Qingqing stretched her waist, looked at Teacher Miaomiao and smiled, "It's a good thing I'm back, how about They didn't even know that Lu and I were always the same customer."

"Hahaha!" Teacher Miaomiao's eyes would curl up when she laughed, "When I came to look for you, I happened to find that the flower shop is next to the dessert shop, what a coincidence."

"You placed the order too quickly." Qingqing showed her the flower matching picture on the phone, "How could such a big event be announced two days in advance."

"I can't help it." Teacher Miao Miao said miserably, "A typhoon is coming suddenly. Due to the weather, our kindergarten's special art performance for Teacher's Day can only be arranged in advance. The store that we negotiated before is not willing to reschedule. Flowers and cakes can only be found again."

"Wow, Teacher's Day, art show." Xiao Hua leaned over with special interest, "Aren't the kids dressed up so well! Yes! Love!"

"Yes! Super cute!" Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone excitedly, "I'll show you the photos!"

"..."

Lu Xiangyang watched the three girls chattering there, the area seemed to have a pink enchantment, and he, a big man, couldn't get in the way at all.He simply sat behind the workbench with a teacup in his hand, and lazily flipped through today's account book, like a veteran cadre in the office who was about to retire.

The little girl can talk when they are together.

The sum of what he and Zhou Xi said all day was not as much as the three girls chatted for 5 minutes.

Zhou Xi said very little, and even replied to WeChat word by word.He suddenly found the account of today's income, one of which was the monthly meal ticket transferred in by Zhou Xi.

How could I forget this when I was so busy arranging the order.

Lu Xiangyang walked over with the teacup in hand, and patted Qingqing on the shoulder: "Go, smoke a cigarette."

Qingqing caught his eyes, got up and followed him out the door.Behind Xiaohua and Miaomiao were immersed in the world of cute children in the kindergarten, chatting and laughing.

Smoking is just an excuse, Qingqing quit smoking for a long time.What's more, Lu Xiangyang is a man who can't beat him to death.When his parents fought and fought when he was young, what he hated the most was the flying soot that fell all over the house, and slowly scattered with the dust under the leaked light. The image is like a fading hope.

"Dining together at noon tomorrow?" Lu Xiangyang whispered.

"Yes." Qingqing said, "Why do you ask this suddenly? Is there a situation?"

Lu Xiangyang sighed: "Do you remember Zhou Xi? The one with glasses. He transferred the food expenses to the store today, and said to put it aside for now, and come over to eat when he has time."

A woman of Qingqing's age has a very keen mind, she said sharply: "Excuse, he saw Huahua's incident, so he wants to help."

"I think so too." Lu Xiangyang said, "Have you gone to see it? How is Mommy Huahua?"

"It's not easy to deal with, mental illness. Let Huahua's father make me angry." Qingqing turned the teacup, which had a bright lipstick printed on it, "Last time I cut my wrist at home, but it wasn't too deep. I'm fine. Just not in good spirits, still living in the third hospital."

Lu Xiangyang was silent for a while.

Qingqing said: "He also has good intentions. You can keep it for Huahua's use first. It's not a problem for multiple friends to eat. You don't want to embarrass Huahua, so you want me to come and eat together."

"Tsk." Lu Xiangyang said, "Sure enough, Sister Qingqing has attracted countless people."

"Okay, then I will treat guests at noon tomorrow, and you buy vegetables and cook." Qingqing said heartily, "The treaters want to order, and I want to eat crayfish."

"No problem." Boss Lu agreed, "Then I'll call Zhou Xi together."

Qingqing advanced to the house to confirm the plan.Boss Lu simply sat on the steps at the door and sent Zhou Xi a WeChat message.

Zhou Xi is at Aunt Xu's house right now, working overtime to help Aunt Xu sort out the list of parents entering the kindergarten.The kindergarten's performance was suddenly rescheduled, and the workload doubled, which alarmed the retired principal.

Aunt Xu is too old to use a computer.Watching Zhou Xi crackling at work.

"You child, you still call me Teacher Xu even if you are so familiar." Aunt Xu patted him and said, "I don't want you to take care of me until the end of my life. The fortune-teller told me last time that I have no one in my life." child."

Zhou Xi lowered his eyes and said, "Teacher, what are you talking about. I work hard to make money, just to let you live easily. Don't think too much."

He is just an outsider, how could he make Aunt Xu feel bad for a second time.

When he went for a follow-up visit some time ago, the doctor gave the same answer, and the risk of blindness in the future could not be ruled out.

It is not easy for Aunt Xu to take care of him as an adult.If there is an emergency, the old man can't let the old man worry about him instead.Zhou Xi decided many years ago that he should not cause Aunt Xu any more trouble.

Zhou Xi had a hard time grasping this distance.

The phone suddenly vibrated beside him, and Zhou Xi glanced at it. It was a WeChat message from Boss Lu.

-Sunflower Yilu moved forward: Brother Xi, I will cook for lunch tomorrow, come?

-Sunflowers all the way forward: Together with Xiaohua and Sister Qingqing, delicious lobster noodles!

There are quite a lot of people.

Zhou Xi thought for a while, and replied with a good word.

He closed the computer, turned to Aunt Xu and asked, "Teacher, where can I buy lobster near us?"
