"Okay, it's almost time, let's go back."
"What should I do if there are so many left?"
"Save it for New Year's Eve. It's okay to keep this small one at home."
"Then let's go."
When returning, Li Yifei did not follow Shao Le's car. Instead, he first sent Xu Zheng home according to the nearest route provided by the navigation system, and then sent Li Jiahui back as well.
Shao Le drove home with his sister and Zhang Zhuyu. On the way, the two sisters behind him posted the photos and videos they took at night on WeChat Moments.
Shao Le planned to send the video to Lin Keke after he returned, but he didn't know if Lin Keke would be asleep by then.
"How long will it take?"
"Half an hour."
"Why is it taking so long? I'm already hungry."
Zhang Zhuyu also said: "I have a bit too."
The three siblings just ate some biscuits to cushion their stomachs for dinner. They had played for so long and consumed a lot of energy. Shao Le also felt a little hungry when his two sisters said this.
"There is a snack street in front. Let's have some midnight snacks before going back."
"I want to eat spicy hotpot."
"I want to eat sausage."
"Another milk tea will be perfect."
Shao Le rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking, my stomach is already growling."
"Ha ha."
The car was parked on the side of the road, and Shao Le led his two sisters to go shopping in the snack street. If the weather was good, there would be a lot of people on this street. In the summer, the stalls would even be placed on the sidewalk, but now First, it’s almost Chinese New Year, and second, it’s cold and there aren’t many people on this street.
Sharp-eyed Shao Le pointed at an LED sign not far ahead and said, "Here, there is Malatang right in front."
Zhang Juyu asked: "I want to eat grilled sausage."
"There must be grilled sausages, let's go ahead and look for them."
It was almost ten o'clock now, and there was no one on the street. The bosses were all playing with their mobile phones in the store. After walking a dozen steps forward, they smelled the fragrant smell of grilled sausages.
Shao Le saw that there was only a little girl in the store, and thought that if he bought all the remaining sausages, maybe the little girl could get off work early.
So, Shao Le took his two sisters and walked over: "How much does it cost to grill sausage?"
"Six dollars."
"Then I want all of these."
"Ah?" The little girl raised her head and looked at Shao Le eagerly.
Shao Le smiled and said, "Pretend them all for me."
The little girl lowered her head and started packing Shao Le, but her expression was not as happy as Shao Le imagined. When the little girl handed the packaged sausage to Shao Le, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry. look.
My sister stepped forward and asked, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
The little girl said sadly: "I get off work in ten minutes, and the boss said that I can eat the unsold sausages."
"???"
Everyone in Shaole was dumbfounded.
I'm sorry you're crying because I bought all the sausages and you can't eat them.
Seeing her tearful look, Shao Le suddenly felt that he was a sinner. He quickly took out a piece of grilled sausage and handed it to her: "Then I'll give you this skewer. We couldn't eat so much. I thought if we finish buying it, you I can get off work early."
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't want it, you bought it."
"I'll treat you to it."
"The boss will scold me if he knows."
Shao Le smiled and said, "Just don't let your boss know."
My sister looked at the time and said with a smile: "You should get off work at ten o'clock. It's already fifty-eight now. Come on, my sister will treat you to spicy hotpot."
Shao Le also smiled and said: "It's rare for my sister to treat guests. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
The little girl was confused: "Sister?"
"if not?"
"I thought you were...a couple."
Shao Le was speechless.
The elder sister smiled happily. She was married to a third-year-old. The younger brother was only twenty years old. Being seen as a couple meant that they looked very young.
The little girl glanced at Zhang Juyu and asked, "What about this sister?"
Shao Lepi smiled but said: "She is my mother."
Zhang Zhuyu immediately shouted angrily: "Shao Le!!!"
"Just kidding, why are you so excited?"
The little girl glanced at the time on the wall. She skillfully put away everything that needed to be put away, then took the key and locked the glass door and rolling shutter door outside.
Shao Wanyin took her hand, asked her how old she was and where she was from, and led her to the Malatang shop.
This little girl has a very poetic name, Li Wanqiu. She is only sixteen years old this year. Her parents just settled in the city this year, so she went to school with them. She is a freshman in high school this year. After the winter vacation, she has been Helping his uncle look after the store.
Shao Wanyin asked her how her academic performance was. She proudly said that she had thought that the competition in Shanghai would be very stressful, but she didn't expect it to be average. She also said that she ranked seventh in the school at the end of the semester, and the teacher was surprised. .
Shao Wanyin saw her innocent smile and had a good impression of the little girl. The four of them arrived at the Malatang shop. After choosing their dishes, they picked a seat and sat down.
Shao Le asked her: "How do you go back at night?"
"Take the subway, it's very close, just a few stops away."
"It's so late, do your parents trust you to go back alone?"
Jiang Wanqiu smiled and said: "Why don't you worry? When I was in my hometown, I went to and from school alone. What's more, there are people everywhere in the big city. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Shao Yang felt that she and Lin Feifei had similar personalities. If they met, they would definitely become very good friends.
Zhang Zhuyu also asked: "Then do you have any dreams in the future?"
Zhang Zhuyu has always been a very troubled person, and it is easy to be undecided when doing something. This is how she applied for the college entrance examination, and how she wears clothes. Until now, she has not yet determined what her ideal type is. .
So when she chats with people, she likes to ask them what their dreams are and listen to other people’s life plans.
Jiang Wanqiu said without any hesitation: "I just want to get into a good university, find a better job in the future, and then earn money to buy a big house."
Shao Le originally thought that at Jiang Wanqiu's age, her vision for the future must be wonderful. She wanted to travel around the world, go to the highest mountains, and see the bluest sea. But she didn't expect that her dreams would be so...real.
"You are too realistic."
"Only when you have money can you live the life you want. I have thought about it all. I enrolled in accounting-related majors in college, and then I helped big bosses manage their money. The first thing I did when I got to work every day was to check the company's books. money to cheer myself up.”
"How to cheer up?"
"Tell yourself that sooner or later, you will be able to earn that much money."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Shao Le couldn't help but smile. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said, "Add me on WeChat. When you graduate from college, just give me a message and I will take you to work in a big company."
"real or fake?"
Shao Wanyin also helped and said: "My brother is very powerful. He has already started a business in his sophomore year. He may become the big boss you call him in the future."
Jiang Wanqiu quickly added Shao Le's WeChat message and said, "Then you must keep your word."
"I never lie."
"You just said that this sister is your mother."
"That was a joke."
"My mother said you can't believe a word a man says."
Shao Le shook his head and said, "Your mother was wrong. You can't believe a word a man says in bed."
My sister slapped Shao Le on the back of the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shao Le smiled sarcastically.
