There is an extra piece of chewing gum in the "Fresh Time" shop, which is stuck here and cannot be peeled off.
On the third day of the lunar new year, Wei Tao went to eat some fruits and vegetables that could clear the stomach and mouth. During the Chinese New Year, he ate too much greasy food, so green vegetables were more popular.
As soon as the door opened, Cao Dongxu ran over not long after, looking like he was getting along with the Wei Tao brothers, passing cigarettes and chatting.
The whole Cao family has been gathering at the old man's home in the dormitory since the first year of junior high school. Cao Dongxu usually goes back to his home or hangs out with his classmates and friends. He goes to college in the city where his home is located, and there are many comfortable places. .
"My sister is going to Yanjing. The college entrance examination will be a process by then. She will score around 300 points. Even if she is very stupid, there will be no pressure."
"Let me tell you Wei Tao, my sister has never been so obsessed with a boy. You are different, you know? Even if a girl is tired of you, she must first recognize you differently from others. Otherwise, is it worth annoying passers-by?”
Wei Tao doesn't hate Cao Dongxu. He is a typical person who is very popular on campus. He is charming, has a smiling face, has good emotional intelligence, and can joke without restraint. He is handsome, sunny, tall, and has a good family background.
He is the type who typically becomes the core of a small group. He will not steal the limelight from others, nor will he act as a leader to make himself endlessly busy.
"Old Cao, Guan Jinyue won't be here these days. The store is not busy. She is studying at home. Her goal must be Qingbei. So, you know, if I were you, I would wait until she goes to college to pursue it. , I guess there is still a small chance of success.”
Wei Tao wiped the shelves. Before his rebirth, he was not a particularly diligent person. In other words, he was only diligent when he was pursuing his own interests. The rest of the time, the word "diligence" should be ranked behind "muddle through".
After his rebirth, as his strength increased, he found that no matter how busy he was or how tired he was, there would be no resistance or resistance in his heart. When he was working in the store, he would sweat a little and still feel comfortable and transparent all over his body. , I really want to sit there motionless, but I feel bored.
It’s boring. Gone are the days when scrolling through mobile phones has become a habit. Although there is a rental bookstore nearby, Jin Guliang’s novels include a novel written by ‘Li Liang’ who is very similar to later Internet novels. Feel free to browse through two books. Fortunately, I really let Wei Tao read it. Due to his horizons and perspective, I really have no interest in it. It would be better to read classic domestic and foreign masterpieces.
Read a book for a while, do some work, time passes quickly when there are no customers, and now there is Cao Dongxu, which is better than dozing alone in the store.
Cao Dongxu looked at Wei Tao in surprise: "Are you really not interested in her?"
Wei Tao cut an orange, put it on a plate and motioned for Cao Dongxu to sit down and eat.
"Afraid that I would be interested in her, so you sold your sister?"
Cao Dongxu looked upright: "Don't talk nonsense. I am helping you because I am afraid that you are young and cannot see each other's thoughts clearly."
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and there is no need to explain anything. Wei Tao leaned back and leaned comfortably in the chair, with a lazy posture, obviously not intending to move, for a while.
"The food here is not enough for two people."
Without speaking, Cao Dongxu didn't leave, so Wei Tao had no choice but to speak again. The other party's thick-skinned pursuit of girls was definitely worth learning from any man.
"I have arranged it early. I know you are willing to eat pork belly. The small restaurant in front has arranged it. It will be ready in a while and will be delivered to you."
The corner of Wei Tao's mouth raised: "Has anyone ever said that you are quite cute when you are shameless?"
Cao Dongxu deliberately exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves: "Has anyone ever said that you deserve a beating sometimes?"
Wei Tao: "Don't worry, you definitely can't beat me."
Cao Dongxu curled his lips: "Isn't this the God of War with a shovel? It's a kid's game."
Guan Jinyue hadn't opened the door yet, but her bicycle was parked at the door, and Cao Dongxu had already run over, looking like a loser.
"It's so cold. I criticized Wei Tao just now. I'll help look after the store for a while and let him go back to pick you up. It will take more than twenty minutes by bike. Come inside and warm yourself up."
Guan Jinyue did not refuse and Cao Dongxu took the insulated lunch box from her hand. When she opened the door and came in, she met Wei Tao's eyes, and the two of them finished communicating.
"What's going on with this guy? Why are you here again?"
"There's no need to ask, I'm here for you."
Wei Tao just smiled. Guan Jinyue entered the room first, and Cao Dongxu could not be seen behind the expression on his face. He was now facing Cao Dongxu, and it would be too much to look at him or something. No matter what, this Cao Dongxu is not annoying. Everyone has a love for beauty. It is not wrong for him to think that he has the ability to discover treasure girls.
Although Wei Tao had already tidied up the house, after Guan Jinyue came, he still boiled water and wiped the inside and outside with a rag again, including some water stains on the frosted glass at the window that had flowed down after being exposed to the sun. .
Lift up all the floor and hole floor mats, wipe them clean with a mop first, then use another rag that is more worn out, wash them clean, and wipe them along the cylinder where the shelves are in contact with the ground to ensure that there is no mess in the entire work.
The dishes ordered by Cao Dongxu and the small restaurant were delivered. Guan Jinyue prepared spine pickled cabbage soup for Wei Tao, plus celery, cucumber and pickles that she had made. Wei Tao didn't eat much, so he let Cao Dongxu devour the whole thing, muttering about how delicious it was while eating.
It wasn't just two days a day. Until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Cao Dongxu came almost every day. He came at around ten in the morning and chatted with Wei Tao. He wouldn't leave until Guan Jinyue came over at noon to deliver food and finish his work. Although his purpose was obvious, , but the eloquence derived from emotional intelligence is really not annoying.
Including Zhou Xinglian’s mahjong battle in the countryside until his return on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it is said that during these six or seven days, he played almost continuously. He only slept for a while before and after eating every day, which was two or three hours too much. He worked hard and looked like he couldn’t get enough.
After coming back, he slept for a whole day and a night before officially returning to work. It didn't take Cao Dongxu two days to coax Zhou Xinglian, who was in her forties but simple-minded, into preparing extra meals for him every day.
"You are still far away from him. Let's catch up with him first."
Before Guan Jinyue started school, she threw such a sentence at Cao Dongxu. The critical hit value reached overflow, causing maximum damage directly.
"Don't be surprised, just a little bit. When I first went to his house, there were rumors among the neighbors. Because of this, he didn't go home to sleep for a day. This Chinese New Year, the novelty is over and no one makes irresponsible remarks. , the two of us are alone together, and he can make me feel at ease until I can sleep at night without interrupting the door..."
Cao Dongxu nodded: "I know, I am indeed not as good as him."
Cao Dongxu left, but came again.
From time to time, I would go to my grandparents' house and come over to see Zhou Xinglian and Wei Tao, chat a few words, and have a meal together. After many small talk, when Wei Tao found out that Cao Xiyu's mother was actually the vice principal of the No. 2 High School, as the school year was approaching, Shamelessly, Wei Tao, led by Cao Dongxu, knocked on the door of Cao Xiyu's house.
Well!
Wei Tao glanced at Cao Dongxu and wanted to strangle him to death.
Why didn't you tell me that your uncle Cao Xiyu's father was in uniform?
The person who opened the door was Cao Xiyu's father, Cao Haiyang, who was dressed and ready to leave. He was wearing a beautiful new uniform and was a second-level police inspector.
"Dongxu, why are you so idle? Come in quickly. Have you eaten yet? Come in and eat. There is this classmate. Come in quickly."
Cao Haiyang is very enthusiastic, but all you can feel on his face is seriousness, and his whole body is filled with the kind of intimidating aura that matches the clothes.
Zhou Min, a short-haired and capable person, leaned out of the kitchen. After taking the art test and getting her results, Cao Xiyu, who was just waiting for the college entrance examination cultural class score to pass, and will go to Yanjing Dance Academy in the second half of the school year, also walked out of her room in home clothes. The first thing she saw was not her cousin, but Wei Tao who looked like an ostrich following behind him.
"Second uncle, this is a friend of mine and Xiaoyu's junior high school classmate. I came here today to ask my second aunt about something."
Wei Tao was still carrying the fruit in his hand. Cao Dongxu, this guy, had no problem. He not only explained it, but also took the fruit and put it on the shoe cabinet. He gave Wei Tao a pair of guest slippers and signaled him to change his shoes. Go inside.
"Huh?" Cao Haiyang was very curious.
His nephew's friend and his daughter's classmate came to see his wife for business. This relationship was interesting and he felt that he needed to know about it.
"Wei Tao, my junior high school classmate, his home is the fresh food store outside the back corner of my grandfather's house. Starting from summer, I buy all the wild vegetables from his home. Mom, you should have the impression that parent-teacher conferences are held in junior high school, too. I should have seen it before." Cao Xiyu walked out generously, introduced it to her father first, and then reminded her mother. A good tutor asked her to make the situation clear first, rather than being an outsider.
"Oh. Xiao Wei, sit down and come to see me at home. What's the matter?" Zhou Min, who took off his apron, is the vice-principal of the high school. When dealing with people, especially young people, a change of turning around is already condescending. There is a certain amount of scrutiny, whether it is the relationship with her daughter or the rash visit, the things that can be derived from the two need to be scrutinized by her.
Cao Haiyang sat aside and left in no hurry, so he could watch at leisure.
Cao Xiyu also looked puzzled. She came to Cao Dongxu's side and asked with her eyes, "What do you mean?"
After the initial bit of shock, Wei Tao took a deep breath to adjust his emotions without concealing himself: "Principal Zhou, it's like this. I'm here to provide benefits to the students in our school."
