writing coffee

Are you... a loner now?Stay alone?Empty nesters? "

"The knowledge of idioms has a long history and is broad and profound. Why are you in your 30s and still stagnant on the surface?"

"Where did I use it wrong? Aren't you abandoned by Xiaoqianli now? Are you not alone now? Are you still hiding someone else at home?!"

My skull hurts a bit, but I can't beat a pregnant woman.

Um... yes, Aunt Maizi is pregnant.

I just found out today, and so did she.She came out of the hospital early in the morning, and then called me to tell me to come out for morning tea by the way—no, order me, come out and invite her to drink morning tea, which is called "celebrating the birth of a new life".

When I first met her, I stared at her belly where no trace could be seen, and thought for a long time.

Depend on!

"Hey, what's that expression on your face?" Aunt Maizi was very dissatisfied with my reaction, "Why can't I feel your joy at the birth of a new life at all?"

"What joy do I have? It's not my pregnancy, and it's not the new life I created."

"Oh, you want to create a new life?"

I returned her a two-second long smirk.

"Hey," she said excitedly, "How about being a godmother to my son?"

what?

"You know it's your son?"

"Whatever." She waved her hand, saying indifferently, "Anyway, they are called godmothers."

"No."

"What are you afraid of? I don't want you to raise him." Aunt Maizi was not surprised by my answer at all, she just wanted to tease me. "I just want to give you a name to let you have a sex addiction, this is a big deal!"

"I can't bear it." I said, seriously.A godmother is also a mother. As a parent, I really don't have the ability, nor do I have the desire.

She gave me a hard look, as if she hated iron for being weak, but she started to act violently. "Anyway, my son must have a godmother!"

I rubbed my browbones and looked at her like an idiot. She gave me a death stare. I felt helpless, so I had to settle for the next best thing. "Go find Qianli, she will definitely be a good godmother."

She raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile, "Xiao Qianli? You want Xiao Qianli to be my son's godmother?"

"Ah."

She looked at me carefully for a while, then smiled, "Okay, the little godmother is also good! By the way, you are now..." and then began to use idioms indiscriminately.

Speaking of which, Jian Qianli was all to blame.

This ungrateful little wolf cub, who is ungrateful, hard-hearted, ruthless, unreasonable and unreasonable, is heinous, heinous, cruel, merciless, and useless... Now he is studying in Germany.

That's what she wanted to discuss with me that night.The next morning she was still lying in my bed, in such a beautiful morning light, she opened her mouth and said that she had been separated for two whole months, tsk!

"Little Qianli is too cruel, right?" Aunt Maizi complained, "You have been working on the strategy for half a month!"

I picked up my teacup and took a sip without comment.In fact, I haven't had time to mention the self-driving tour to Qianli. I originally planned to give her a surprise after the exam. I know she will like this plan.It's a pity, cough, good luck tricks people.

Suddenly, Auntie Maizi didn't know where she got the inspiration, "Isn't it? Murong—you didn't tell Xiao Qianli about this at all, did you?"

Her expression was exaggerated and she acted incredible.

"Did not have time."

"Are you kidding me? How long will it take to talk about this?"

Ok.

"Haha!" She laughed again inexplicably. "I really didn't expect Xiaoqianli to be this kind of person, hahaha, for the sake of ideals, she doesn't care about the love of her children!"

I looked at the pregnant woman across from me, gloating and smiling happily, and felt that I couldn't stay with her any longer. "The morning tea is almost finished, I asked Papa Xiao to pick you up?"

The title "Daddy Xiao" is also a blessing in my heart, and I called it out casually. I didn't expect that Auntie Maizi's expression froze, and then she became wilted.

This is... which one?

"Aunt Maizi, you didn't tell Uncle Xiao about this at all, did you?"

She looked at me sadly and said nothing.

I tentatively asked: "No time?"

"roll!"

Haha.

It's not a big deal not to tell Uncle Xiao, after all, it's been less than half a day since she knew the result, and it's a legitimate reason to say it's too late.But when she froze, it was interesting.

"It's almost enough if you tweak it a bit, I can't stand it if you continue."

"What do you know?!" Aunt Maizi was angry for a short time, and then went out again. "I don't know how to tell him..."

Well, if you don’t understand, just ask. "Why?"

She glanced at me, propped her chin, and sighed, "It's too sudden, now is not the best time."

Ah, I see, Xiao Churan has been devastated by the new company recently, and he has no resources to spare. It is really unfortunate that Maizi is pregnant at this time, but this is the end of the matter—or...

"So, what do you think?"

"Don't look at me like this, I don't have any ideas. You don't look at how old I am, I cherish it."

"You are indeed a little old." I follow the good advice, but, "I am just a very pure question, don't be nervous. Every new life comes to this world is not his own choice, you who help make decisions, Just think about it from other people’s point of view.”

"Yeah." Maizi relaxed her body and leaned back, as if she wasn't so listless.But this is not a good thing.

"Have you discussed this issue with Qianli, Murong?"

look.

I lazily replied, "It's not time to discuss this issue yet."

"When is the time? 'Life is not your choice to come into this world' is not something that everyone can say. You should at least give them a psychological preparation."

"Auntie Maizi is so cruel to discuss this kind of issue with children."

Auntie Maizi reached for the chopsticks, but I quickly held them down, "Calm down, you are going to be a mother now. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't worry about it."

She said bitterly: "Fortunately, the person who will be my son's godmother is Xiaoqianli!"

I will not remind her how this result came about.

"Okay, you've finished drinking the boiled water, hurry up and eat, and I'll take you home after eating?"

"No."

Ah.

"I'm going to drink coffee."

Okay.

So, on this day, my "writing coffee" has an extra guest who doesn't drink coffee or read a book, just sits bored and plays with his mobile phone with a trace of worry, and takes pleasure in calling me from time to time. I... dare not be angry Dare to speak.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, I think it's time to see off the guests.

"Would you like to order a takeaway for you, Aunt Maizi?"

"Okay, thank you."

Hello... sister!

After dinner, the subway began to limit the flow.

"Would you like an extra supper for you, Aunt Maizi?"

She looked at her phone, pointed at the time on it and looked at me like a mentally retarded person, "You eat by yourself."

Crazy, I'm not hungry!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the traffic jams on the road have already cleared.

"want--"

"Go away!"

I laughed angrily at her. "Are you, running away from home?"

"Get rolling..." She put down her phone and pushed me with both hands free.

I really convinced her. "Okay, if you have the ability, don't go home tonight."

When I got back to the bar, I sent Xiao Churan a WeChat message.

Me: Uncle Xiao?

(after 13 minutes)

Uncle Xiao: Don't call me that, I'm afraid

I'm done working?

Uncle Xiao: Just finished work, tell me!

Me: Please come here and take your McDull home, okay?

Uncle Xiao: What's the situation?

Me: Hurry up!

Uncle Xiao: "Surprised"

Xiao Churan: Right now, in the shop?

me: um

When Xiao Churan came in, he passed by my last customer and walked straight to the bar. I raised my hands and made a big cross in front of him, then pointed to the weak, pitiful and helpless man in the corner. "Hurry up and take it away, I'm closing."

He looked puzzled, and went to find his McDull.I didn't bother to care about how the couple discussed their children's issues, so I walked over and opened the door, and stood at the door smiling at them.

When passing by me, Auntie Maizi gritted her teeth kindly and said: "In terms of industrial design, German universities do have advantages. I suggest that Xiaoqianli just study there."

I kept a toothless smile, "Be careful on the road!"

Finally clean.

"Is it closed?" I hadn't finished my breath when a voice suddenly asked.I followed the sound and looked over. In the place where the light and shadow intersected, a person walked straight over. It was a face that was already a little familiar.

It was the first time she came here so late. Of course, she didn't come many times, just... three or four times, she was considered a regular customer.

"Not yet, welcome~" I smiled.It was the young lady who was very interested in design.

She walked in, looked around, looked at her phone again, and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I don't drink coffee, I just happened to pass by and came in to buy a book."

"it is good."

It was already nine o'clock, and I hung up the "Closing" sign, and went into the bar to continue the cleaning work before closing.

Soon, the lady picked out two books and came to pay for them.

"What a coincidence, you are here every time I come here." She said casually.

I laughed, "Unfortunately, because I'm the only one."

She glanced at me in surprise, then nodded understandingly, "Is there a lot of employee turnover in the catering industry, or are you asking too much?"

It seems that my guest has misunderstood me. "No, it's just that I have such a small store, and it's too extravagant to hire an employee! I can only do it myself."

"I'm pretty busy on the weekends, don't you have a part-time job or something?" She asked, looking a little inexplicably stubborn, ha, maybe a boss who doesn't hire employees is really too low-class?

"No, it's not too busy."

To be honest, I have to have this kind of dialogue every three to five times. There will always be guests who are more curious about this aspect. After coming here a few times, they will be curious and ask questions after getting familiar with it. I am used to it.But the lady's reaction was a little... over the top.

"Never invited him before?" She asked, her tone serious enough to question her.

I was a little amused, "No."

Her complexion changed. "Sorry, no offense, but you mean, this coffee shop, from the beginning to the end! From the beginning to the end! You are the only barista?"

"Yes." I stopped joking and said seriously, waiting for her next shocking words.

However, she just looked at me without saying a word, and the eyes, from the initial disbelief to the complicated and unspeakable, were full of incomprehensible meaning.

Well, if you have to say it, it’s not that there is no such thing, Qianli doesn’t come here often——

"Sorry," she said, gave me one last look, then turned and left.

I froze in place.

thousand pears...

Heh, Qianli.

It turned out to be Jian Qianli.

Since I have known Jian Qianli for so long, she has lied to me three times.

The first one, she said that she studied industrial design.Later, in order to transfer to the industrial design major, she used a summer vacation to make up for the one-year professional courses. During this period, she was so busy that she could only stand and drink a cup of coffee in my shop.

The second one, she said that in order to enter the coffee association, she wanted to learn coffee from me.Later, in order to complete this lie, she created a coffee association herself.

The third one, she said that her parents don't mind her orientation, and only hope that the person she likes can make her feel happy.

So, this time, what is she going to do?
