"Well."

Yan Qing felt a little regretful. He really felt that Chen Xu opened a noodle restaurant here, which was a bit buried. By the way, he also wanted to make some investments. Unexpectedly, the other party had this attitude.

Chen Xu glanced at him and said, "Actually, I have never thought about doing this for a long time. After the New Year, I may change careers."

"No?" Yan Qing was shocked and said, "No, if you stop doing it, where will we go for midnight snacks?"

“This is indeed a problem.”

Chen Xu said, his hands were not stopped and he made another bowl.

Yanqing waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the second half of his words. When he reached the third bowl, he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xu looked at him in surprise and said, "This is not my problem."

“…”

Yan Qing felt a little heartbroken and said quietly, "I finally know why your sister is going home."

…………

Tomorrow is the weekend, and there are many customers. Chen Xu closed the stall earlier than usual. After calculating today's turnover, it was a total of 895 yuan.

He felt happy. After excluding costs, the profit was at least about 600. It was said that the profit of catering was high, and it was true. It was really wise to learn cooking skills from 2003.

If you can maintain this passenger flow every day and return home during the Spring Festival, you can earn about 30,000 yuan in net income, which can greatly alleviate the economic pressure at home.

Over the past week, many old customers have brought their friends over, and the customer base has grown steadily. Especially after Chen Xu allowed customers to buy barbecue from the barbecue stall next to him, there were obviously more customers coming.

He pulled up the rolling gate and went back to the rental house.

The next morning, he went to morning rush again.

I have been staying in a hotel for three days and went to the gym to run in the morning.

Half a month of exercise has made his physical strength improve greatly. He can run for 40 minutes at most in one breath. It is not an ordinary jog, but a slightly faster speed.

At this time, his progress slowed down, not as fast as before.

He was not disappointed. This was normal. If he continued to make endless progress, he would soon become superman, which would be too magical.

He had considered that in summer, his financial conditions were better, so he went swimming every day. It is said that the exercise effect was better and he did not hurt his knees.

At seven o'clock, he finished his morning ritual, wiped off his sweat with a towel, and walked towards the rental house.

He came to that alley habitually. The weather was good today, and the thick dark clouds had dispersed, so it was rare to see the sun.

Walking in the alley, the sunlight that shines in obliquely is blocked by the surrounding high-rise buildings. Only occasionally leaks out between the high-rise buildings, shining on the walls of the house, forming a golden spot of light.

Chen Xu was a little surprised to see the girl squatting in front of the telephone pole. Today is Sunday, the first semester of his second year of high school, and it shouldn't be the point where he needs to make up for classes on Sunday.

Today she was carrying not a schoolbag, but a smaller backpack.

As usual, he walked over without disturbing her.

The girl noticed someone passing by, turned around, stared at his back for two seconds, took off her headphones and stood up, trotted and chased after her.

Chen Xu watched her come out from behind and stopped in surprise. But she stared at her for a few seconds, making him wonder if there was anything dirty on his face.

The girl finally withdrew her gaze, put down the small backpack behind her, unzipped the zipper, took out a bag, and "Give it back to you."

"What?"

He was puzzled at first, and took it and saw that there was a thin blue jacket in the bag, and then he remembered the one he draped on her last time.

He has been busy these days and has forgotten about this.

The coat was obviously washed, folded neatly, and a thinner bag was also placed inside.

"And this one."

The girl took out a dollar bill from her pocket again.

Seeing her serious look, Chen Xu swallowed the polite words that came to her mouth, took the one dollar folded from the fold and said, "You still remember."

"Thank you."

The girl carried her schoolbag behind her and said, "I'll treat you to a meal."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "No need, it's all a trivial matter."

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't want to owe others favors." Then, she took out a very small wallet from her pocket, unzipped her, pulled out a twenty yuan, and said, "I only have so much to treat you to breakfast. Is the rice noodles OK?"

"It's really not necessary-" Chen Xu said, and when he saw the light in her eyes dim, he lowered his head, folded the money back, and stuffed it back into his wallet, a throbbing flashed in his heart.

He remembered that when he was in middle school, his parents were away from home, and he only had a small amount of pocket money every month, so he lost breakfast. On weekends, he didn't even dare to play basketball with his classmates because he didn't have the money to buy drinks.

He didn't want his classmates to be looked down upon, and he prefers to be alone and doesn't participate in the activities in the class very much.

The girl's eyes flashed just now made him feel as if he was seeing her at that time. She was short of money and finally got up to her courage. She wanted to express her kindness, but if she was rejected by others, it would be very hurt.

He said, "One bowl may not be enough. I have a lot of appetite and I have to eat at least two bowls."

The girl raised her head, her face slightly stunned, and then she smiled, "Okay."

…………

The breakfast shop is right next to the road, and the elementary school is not far away. The breakfast shops opened next to the elementary school are usually very lively, especially before students go to school.

Today is the weekend, and there are fewer people, unlike the usual crowds. There are still a few empty tables inside.

Chen Xu went over to occupy a table, and the girl went to buy breakfast.

After a while, she came over with three portions of glutinous rice noodles, two portions of egg noodles and one portion of pork noodles, all over with sauce, almost overflowing the edge of the plate.

"Do you know this boss?" Chen Xu asked curiously.

When Chen Ziqi lived here, she had to eat rice noodles in the morning. He always came here to pack it, and the portions were not that much. He just saw the girl saying a few words to the boss.

"I used to go to elementary school there." The girl pointed to the door of the primary school opposite, "At that time, I came here to eat every day."

"No wonder."

Chen Xu tore open a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

He was indeed hungry, so he soon ate two plates of rice noodles. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth, and saw that her plate had just been halfway through.

The girl put down her chopsticks and said, "Are you not full? Otherwise, you will want another one?"

Chen Xu shook his head, "No, it's just right. Eating too much in the morning is bad for your stomach."

The girl didn't insist and continued to eat.

Chen Xuguang sat down and felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she was not wearing a school uniform today. Even so, he still felt that the eyes that were casting around him were a little weird.

She is also a middle school student.

He said to himself, pretending to observe the decoration in the store, his eyes sweeping around the ceiling and walls.

After a while, the girl finished eating, took out the tissue she carried with her and wiped her mouth. Seeing that he didn't look here, she picked up her phone, pointed the camera at him, and secretly took a photo.

Chen Xu noticed her movements from the corner of his eyes, and suspected that she was taking a photo. After thinking about it, he still didn't expose it and said, "I've finished eating, let's go."

The girl picked up her small backpack, stood up, and when she went out, she asked him, "By the way, my name is Cao Ningning."
