writing coffee

"Yo!"

I ignored him.

"Yo!"

I secretly rolled my eyes.

"Xiao Qianli is fine, I feel very relieved as an uncle, I can finally retire!"

Someone finally managed to get my attention.

"Why, don't you always think that the things I designed for you are too childish?"

I said so?Glancing at the trinkets on the memorial cabinet, I have to admit that I used this adjective quite accurately, but, "It's okay, don't be interesting."

"Of course, I put my heart into it, okay! But, Xiaoqianli," Xiao Churan picked up a coffee association design from the shelf, and looked around, "It's much more interesting."

This time I did not refute.

Today is Tuesday, I have a regular rest, Xiao Churan will appear here, and I specially asked him to come over to see the design products of the Coffee Association that have not been removed.I thought about negotiating a deal with the Coffee Association.

"Do you want to ask them to help you design the surroundings? Or the equipment?" Xiao Churan asked, paused, and added in a humorous way, "Or the surroundings and equipment?"

"Instead of designing for me, they design their own, they have their own logo, they are trying to create a brand. I just give them a space to display their products."

Xiao Churan sat on the edge of the table, folded his arms, and began to get serious: "What will I get in exchange, the rental of the showcase or the sales share? Or should you buy it directly from them—"

"No, just use these display positions for them." I interrupted him, I didn't want to do such a complicated thing.

"Are you saving them money?" He frowned, "It's not just Xiaoqianli's design, it's from their entire association. They have to pay for this kind of thing wherever they put it fee!"

I am indifferent.

"Okay, so this is a friendly sponsorship? Voluntary help? Selfless dedication?" Uncle Xiao snorted very disdainfully, squinting his eyes at me.

"Of course not, I'm also profitable."

"What are you planning?"

I looked around and spread out my hands, "Plants are radiant, don't you think?"

He pouted.

"Didn't I put some here for decoration before? These are much more beautiful than the previous ones. Moreover, I didn't intend to help them sell them. They have their own online sales platform. If I see them here if you are interested Just contact them directly, I'm not involved in the process." I feel like I'm taking advantage of it...

"Then what about your souvenirs? You know, as far as the current situation is concerned, I don't know what Xiaoqianli and their 'brand' will do in the future. As far as the current situation is concerned, your logo of 'Writing Coffee' is much more valuable , those who come to buy books and drink coffee, if they want to buy souvenirs, they must buy for your 'writing coffee'."

"Didn't you get those souvenirs for me?" Did Xiao Churan misunderstand me?He didn't really think he could retire with success, did he?Do you mean that you can be a shopkeeper if you say you can do it?Is he crazy?

"Are you crazy, Murong?" Uncle Xiao was a little excited. He didn't know anything about stealing my lines. After the design, you still want me to put my defective products together with them to make an embarrassment?! Are you so sorry to see me? Huh?"

Should I praise him for his self-knowledge?Resisting the urge to beat him up, I directly picked up the key and went outside to lock the door. Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and I don't have to think about someone's feelings.

Xiao Churan struggled to squeeze his increasingly obese body out of the door the moment before I closed the door. I stared at the swimming ring on his waist for a long time and remained silent, but he said shamelessly: " Such is the price of happiness, young man!"

I pouted and locked the door.

"I mean it," he said, and I thought he was going to make a tirade about the relationship between obesity and happiness and was about to stop him, but instead he said, "It would be nice to design some gadgets with 'writing coffee' logos on them. For them, it's just a matter of convenience, Xiaoqianli must be very happy, don't let such a good resource go unused!"

"Well, I see." After locking the door, I walked to the parking place first, and asked him casually, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

"What?" He plucked his ears, looking shocked, "You didn't intend to invite me to afternoon tea?"

I returned him with a more shocked expression: "Why should I treat you to afternoon tea?"

"You, you..." He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at me with the other, "You big white-eyed wolf!"

I opened the car door, "Then the big white-eyed wolf will go first?"

When I got into the driver's seat, Uncle Xiao had already fastened his seat belt in the co-pilot.As soon as the car drove out, Qianli's phone call came in.

I turned on the loudspeaker, and as soon as the call was connected, a sweet "Murong~" came out of the loudspeaker.

I raised my eyebrows, and was about to reply "You have dialed the wrong number", but Uncle Xiao took the opportunity.

"Little Qianli, Uncle Xiao is too old to bear such stimulation."

"Huh? Uncle Xiao, why are you still here?" A tone of disgust.She knew that I had an appointment with Xiao Churan today.

"Xiao Qianli, uncle will give you a chance to reorganize the language."

"Good morning uncle!"

"Good~"

I had to say: "What's wrong?"

"Murong, we've succeeded in financing! Tonight's celebration banquet, will you join us?"

There is also a celebration banquet... "You guys have fun, I will go to Z City and come back after dinner, I can't make it in time."

"Oh……"

Uncle Xiao: "Is there something to eat? I can!"

Qianli: "No problem Uncle Xiao, we are AA anyway."

Uncle Xiao: "Goodbye."

hehe~

After sending Uncle Xiao and his old man to the studio, I turned around and got on the expressway, heading towards City Z.

It's not a special day, but my father called me the night before, and I just had a rest, so I went back to see them.My father has classes in the afternoon, and Aunt Xin also has to go to work. I agreed on the phone last night that I would drop by to pick up Xiaozhi after school.

Because it was a temporary idea, I didn't have time to choose a gift for the little guy. I didn't expect to see a pair of crystal-shaped music boxes in the window of a shop on the way to school. On each box stood a dancing prince and The princess looks like a child. From a distance, the little prince looks a bit like our family.So without thinking too much, I bought such a pair of music boxes for an 11-year-old boy, and I don't know if it fits well...

Luckily my brother seems to like the gift too and is sitting in the back of the car loving it.

"Sister!" The little guy called me suddenly.

"Huh?" I was driving and glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "What's wrong?"

"Can I give this—" He held up the little princess's music box and shook it, "Can I give it to my friend? Then we will be one for each of us!"

oh?Could it be the little girl from last time? "Of course. Who will Xiaozhi give it to?"

"Give it to Berry!" he said, paused, and asked again, "Can I give it to her now?"

Really... But, now? "where is she?"

"I don't know..." The little guy was a little frustrated, but soon cheered up again, "But I know where her home is!"

He told me an address, not very far away, although it is in the opposite direction, but a round trip, that is, Aunt Xin's time to buy vegetables and cook.

"Okay, then let's go see if Berry is at home!"

The little guy cheered, and then buried his head to tinker with the two music boxes.

However, I didn't know until I arrived at the community where Berry's house is located. The little guy only heard the name from the little girl, and didn't know which building or room he lived in... So we decided to wait.

Finding a place to park the car, I called Aunt Xin and told me to take my brother for a walk outside, and then I picked a conspicuous place at the gate of the community, one big and one small, wandering around.

"What if Berry has gone home?" I tentatively asked the little guy.

"No, Berry gets out of school later than me!" The little guy replied firmly.

"Hmm." I didn't ask her how close the school was to her home, and I didn't assume any special circumstances. I thought that Aunt Xin should have the contact information of Berry's mothers.

There is a piece of greenery at the entrance of the community, and a low brick wall is built on the edge of the grass. Because of the terrain, a section is much higher than the surrounding area, about half the height of the little guy.He stepped on the brick wall carefully and walked to a high place. I held his hand and reached the highest point. With the strength of my support, he jumped down and landed firmly on the ground with his face showing With a smile as satisfied as a stunt, he kept repeating the game tirelessly.

During this process, I learned that Berry Berry is a little girl with ponytails. Her composition is very good and she often gets full marks. There is a fat bear on her lunch box. She doesn’t know how to use chopsticks. , she has one eye that is not a double eyelid, her teeth are very small, so small, white, like rice grains...

"Xiao Zhi!"

When this crisp call sounded in my ears, the little guy completed another perfect jump, and his eyes lit up as soon as he stood still.I turned my head, and saw a little girl with a ponytail, her small eyes with one eyelid and one double eyelid opened, and she grinned happily, revealing——

"Berry! Where's your rice grain?!" My brother cried out in surprise.

The little girl screamed, covered her mouth, and glared at my brother.

Haha, the little girl has changed her teeth.

The little guy knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurried up to appease him: "It's okay, it will grow back! Look at mine, it's all grown back!"

Then you changed pretty quickly, I thought to myself, I have never seen you talk like a leak.

The little girl obviously came all the way here. At this moment, her mothers came up to me, and they looked at my brother with surprise and surprise. "Why is Xiaozhi here?"

To be honest, their appearance was a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect them to be such a young couple.I have always taken it for granted that at the age of Berry and my younger brother, they should be about the same age as Aunt Xin, and no matter how bad they are, they should be the same as Aunt Maizi. After all, they should not be too young if they have the courage to take on the responsibility of a child. ...It turned out that they looked younger than me, not much different from my little Qianli... What a wonderful fate the composition of this family must be!

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi's older sister." I patted my younger brother's head, the little guy was a little shy, "Xiaozhi said that he had a gift to give to his good friend, so he brought him here without disturbing Come to you?"

"How could it be?" The tall one was obviously more eloquent, "We are Berry's mother, nice to meet you! Our Berry also talks about Xiaozhi all day long!"

"I don't!" protested the little girl, "I only occasionally, once in a while!"

Several adults laughed.

The other answered: "Have you been waiting for a long time? I'm sorry I'm late picking her up from school today, let's go up and sit down first!"

"No, the family is still waiting to go back to eat, and I will accompany the little guy here on a whim." I looked down at my younger brother, "Where is the gift for Berry?"

He bounced and ran over to get the box, opened it, and there were two crystal figurines standing on the music box inside.

"Wow, so beautiful!" The little girl's eyes widened.

"This is a gift from my sister!" My brother proudly declared, carefully holding out the little princess and handing it to his little girl, "This is for you, we each have one."

I looked at them with great interest, as if reading a fairy tale.

But the little girl didn't answer, she hesitated, pointed to the little prince in the box, and asked, "Can I have that?"

My brother was stunned!

Haha, this may not be what he imagined, in his little head, a little girl should match a cute little princess.

But he agreed anyway.

"Thank you Xiaozhi!" The little girl embraced the little prince as she wished, leaned over and kissed my brother on the cheek.The little guy was calm about this, as if he was used to it.

"Thank you sister!" She turned her head again and thanked me generously.

This guy looks like a big kid, I'm afraid Qianli would be ashamed of himself. "You're welcome~"

The two parents on the opposite side must have enjoyed watching the play, so the tall man asked to stay: "Are you really not going to sit at home? Why don't you stay and have dinner together tonight, the children haven't seen each other for a while, I listen to Berry Berry said that Xiaozhi often talked about his sister, and she was thinking about when she would have a chance to meet her."

What she said made this invitation very sincere, but unfortunately it was not the time, I am a little sorry. "Thank you, but it's really inconvenient today. I'm usually not at home. I went home to have a meal today. I might be nagged by the two old people at home if I go back later."

"That's it, let's have a chance next time." The tall man said without hesitation, "What do you call Miss Zhi? We both have the word 'yi' in our names, and our friends call us 'big aunt' and 'little aunt'." , I am Auntie, she is Auntie, you can call her that if you don't mind."

It's an interesting name.

"My name is Murong Shi, but my friends don't like to call me by my first name. They all call me 'Murong'."

"Haha, see you next time, Murong." The auntie finished speaking to me, and then said to the two children, "Thank you for the little gift, next time auntie will bring Berry to see you, okay?"

I was caught off guard by this "auntie". My younger brother calls two women younger than me auntie. These two aunties also have a daughter who is as old as my brother, and their daughter calls me sister...

This sense of confusion made me involuntarily come up with an absurd idea. I think our little Qianli is quite innocent.
