Chapter 11 Chapter 11
"There is a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival, and passers-by on the road want to die."
Tomb-sweeping day, at 08:30 in the evening, Mo Shiwu cleaned up the table he had just left, muttering to himself.
"This old saying is not bad at all. It really is going to rain on Qingming Festival, no matter how big or small it will always be."
It has been drizzling intermittently for a day outside, and it has no intention of stopping until now.Fortunately, the rain was so light that people almost didn't need an umbrella to walk outside, but the humidity was a bit uncomfortable.
For festivals like this, Mo Shiwu usually closes early, but a phone call disrupted his plans.
Mo Shiwu hurried all the way on his little electric donkey, and arrived at the confinement club just after nine o'clock.
"Fortunately, I can go back before ten o'clock." He swiftly lifted the dumpling out of the car, knocked on the window, without looking at who took the dumpling, "It's all here, I have to leave first That's it, just give the money to Brother Bai."
"Hey, hello!" The people in the guard room ran out, trying to call Mo Shiwu back, but he couldn't even see him.
Bai Yan is on duty tonight, which is one of the reasons why Mo Shiwu must go back early: Without Bai Yan shaking on Shili Street, Mo Shiwu always feels like a festival like Qingming Festival, there must be a group of ghosts parading the streets outside, or It's better to get into bed early and sleep with your head covered, pretending you don't know anything.
"Team Bai, how much should these be? How do you calculate it? The little boss asked me to transfer the money directly to you."
It wasn't Bai Yan who ordered the delivery, but a very clever young man under him.Although he is a bit tactful, he has a good heart and is a quick learner. Bai Yan likes him very much, and is willing to work with him every time he is on duty.
He ordered two, one for his and one for Bai Yan, but Mo Shiwu delivered three.
"I don't know the price either..." Bai Yan copied the delivery phone number on the calendar last time, but he had never seen the delivery card.
Originally, he wanted to please Bai Yan, but now he is self-defeating.He knew that Bai Yan would definitely not accept the money he transferred, and the worst part was that he didn't even know the exact amount.
Sure enough, Bai Yan said: "It's okay, he is my friend, so I treat it as a treat for you."
Bai Yan didn't say that he invited him to eat, but brought out Mo Shiwu who didn't know anything, and now that person has no way to refuse.He hesitated for a long time, and merged thousands of words into one sentence: "Thank you, Team Bai."
Bai Yan likes being unceremonious like this. Seeing that he was promoted so quickly, many envious people put on the most polite appearance on the surface, but behind their backs they wished that he would step down immediately.
"But don't order at night next time. He is the only one working in the store. It's not safe for him to come out on an electric bike at night. If you want to eat, go to the store during the day next time, and walk in Shili Street 200 meters, Mo Shiwu's dumpling restaurant is their home on the left after the first turn."
"Okay, I will eat it if I have the chance!"
The dumplings are delicious, I ate one for nothing today, and I bothered someone to send them all the way, so I should make up for it after eating a meal.
Since Bai Yan and Mo Shiwu experienced Wang Guoqing's incident last month, they have met and interacted more.Bai Yan really listened to Mo Shiwu's words, and almost regarded the dumpling restaurant as his own canteen. Except for the meals at work, Bai Yan settled almost every meal in the dumpling restaurant.
It's just...Although he went there often, Mo Shiwu still felt that it was not enough.
Because Bai Yan went at the wrong time, it didn't match his sister Shiliu's time at all.
Sixteen is in her third year of high school this year, and the college entrance examination is two months away. The school has canceled the weekends and holidays. On the surface, it is said to be voluntary self-study, but in fact all of them have gone to self-study, and they are talking about whether they are voluntary or not.
Mo Shiliu got up at five o'clock every morning, and went out before six o'clock, and it was almost eleven o'clock when he returned home from self-study in the evening.
Bai Yan is the standard office worker time, breakfast at 07:30 in the morning and dinner at 11 o'clock after get off work.The same is true during the break, but there is an extra lunch at 30:[-] noon.
It was almost half a month before and after, Mo Shiwu counted on his fingers, the number of times Bai Yan and his sister met was only three times in total.As for what has been said, well... nil at the moment.
After closing the shop door, Mo Shiwu went upstairs to wash up in one go, wrapped up in a bean worm and rolled on the bed.
"There are still two months, hold on, there will be a long and wonderful vacation after the sixteenth college entrance examination. It's almost three months, I still don't believe it, I must let the sixteenth leave here to go to college. The two of them got it done! Well! Mo Shiwu, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it!"
After pumping himself up, Mo Shiwu began to worry about another matter: should he sleep now?
His sister is still a few days away from turning 20 this year, so her neck is smooth and clean, and there is nothing unusual about it.
"Sixteen shouldn't be able to see it, so it's going to be fine." He said, but he still couldn't feel relieved. After tossing for a long time, he sat up from the bed, got out of bed and went downstairs.
There was no such special situation as last time, he would wait for Shiliu under the archway on Shili Street every night.
"Let's just wait here tonight." Mo Shiwu was a little timid. He peeked out of the store for a while, but he still didn't dare to take a step. "It seems to be all right, why don't you move on?"
He often talks to himself, the key is that he doesn't find it strange, but thinks it's a manifestation of his rich emotions and flexible brain.
At the moment, there is no one on the street, and the street lamps that have been in disrepair for a long time barely bear his identity as a lamp, but the brightness is really unflattering. The range is about the size of a basketball, no more!
Mo Shiwu was startled and frightened. He didn't want to see anything else, so he went forward in a self-defeating smear, and didn't dare to turn on the flashlight while holding the phone.
Fortunately, he grew up here, and he could find his way even with his eyes closed. In addition, there was only one avenue leading to the archway at the entrance on Shili Street. After groping for a while, Mo Shiwu arrived at the archway safely.
10 minute has passed...
Another 10 minutes passed...
"Why haven't you come back? Seriously, the school doesn't know that today is the Ching Ming Festival, and they don't let the children come back early in the evening. They are really big-hearted." Mo Shiwu complained, not daring to leave the archway too far, standing Behind the stone base under the archway, dare not go out.
In his heart, the archway on Shili Street is a natural barrier, which should be of some use.
He was so suspicious and persisted for another 10 minutes, and finally a person walked over from a distance.The man walked towards him very fast and steadily.It was dark everywhere, and Mo Shiwuyi couldn't see clearly for a while. He couldn't be sure that it was his sister, and he began to feel anxious again.
"Brother, you..." Sixteen's eyes were good, and he saw Mo Shiwu first, and he looked timid, "Why are you shaking?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just...a little cold, just a little cold."
"Then let's go back quickly."
Immediately, Mo Shiwu took Shiliu's arm and ran all the way back to the shop, clinging to her side. The first thing he did was to close the shop door.
"I made chicken soup and I'll serve you a bowl."
Students in the third year of high school have a lot of mental work. Mo Shiwu heard from the aunties eating in his shop that eating walnuts is the most effective way to nourish the brain, so he adds walnuts to whatever he does recently.
"..." Shiliu looked at the so-called bowl in front of him, which was actually a mixture of half a pot of chicken soup and half a pot of chicken and walnuts, and felt a headache.
"Eat hard, there is still in the pot."
My head hurts even more!
It was too uncomfortable to be sharpened by a blunt knife, so Mo Shiliu decided to cut the mess quickly.She pinched her nose, first drank the soup in the basin-like bowl, and then ate the walnuts and chicken with a big spoon as fast as she could.
The amount was too large, she couldn't help but burp after eating, and the taste of it was indescribable.
"Uh..." Seeing his sister like this, Mo Shiwu probably guessed that the taste was not good: "Well, otherwise I will make stewed pig's brain with walnuts tomorrow, isn't it to say that what you eat can make up for you? Pig's brain is a big brain, so it must be Very invigorating."
"Brother!" Mo Shiliu wrinkled his nose, and clutched Mo Shiwu's wrist in pain: "I have enough brains, please don't make these miraculous soups again, my brain will freeze if I try it a few more times."
Mo Shiliu rarely said such straightforward words to her brother, but Mo Shiwu would listen to him whenever he did.
"Okay, okay, I won't do it, I will definitely not do it. But you must have something to eat when you come back at night..."
"Just dumplings, I still like dumplings the most."
The next day, when Bai Yan got off work and went to the dumpling restaurant for dinner, Mo Shiwu started chattering with Bai Yan about what happened last night.
"Brother Bai, otherwise I'll make dumplings stuffed with walnuts for Shiliu to eat tonight. What do you think?" Mo Shiwu's eyes full of anticipation were about to jump onto Bai Yan's plate.
"Walnut stuffing? Let's leave it alone. I think it's a bit difficult to make a good meal. Sixteen may not like it."
"But walnuts are a good thing. The children in other families must be eating them. I can't be short of Shiliu!"
Here is the crux: after the father of the two brothers and sisters left, Mo Shiwu was always worried that he would not be able to take good care of his sister, and it was inevitable that there would be a situation where caring would lead to chaos.He actually felt that he did a poor job. Many other parents would go to the school to deliver meals at noon and evening, but because of the business in the store, he could only let his younger sister eat at the small restaurant opposite the school.
Going out to eat must not be delicious or healthy, and you have to walk a long way to waste your study time.
But he couldn't help it, so he tried his best to make up for this meal at night.
"It's good to eat walnuts raw, it's convenient and delicious." Bai Yan gave a suggestion, seeing that Mo Shiwu still had a sad face, he comforted him: "Fifteen, don't be nervous, Shiliu must understand what you mean of."
"really?"
"Really, don't you believe what I say?" Bai Yan rumpled Mo Shiwu's curly hair, "Look at you, it's clear that sixteen is going to take the college entrance examination, and you look even more nervous than sixteen. If something happened, the sixteenth should worry more, so, think about it, don't be sad like a little old man all day long."
"Who's the little old man, I'm just a young man, okay?!"
"Well, we are the youngest at fifteen, younger than a three-year-old."
Bai Yan looked at Mo Shiwu, who looked like a kitten with a blown fur, and the fatigue from last night's shift slowly dissipated.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Bai Yan grabbed Mo Shiwu's restless hands, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to sleep and come back at night, it's still the old time."
"Oh, okay, you go to rest." Naogui Nao, Mo Shiwu experienced the last night of spinning around after a night, and knew how painful it is to not be able to sleep well at night.
After seeing Bai Yan off, Mo Shiwu took out his phone and set an alarm clock: the old time, six o'clock in the evening.
"No, why should I set this kind of alarm clock?" Mo Shiwu held the phone in his hands and looked puzzled.
