"It tastes really good, so I recommend it."
She wanted to see how Ye Jiao would explain.
The store might be closed, right?
"I think it's OK. Let's go get together and keep in touch with each other. We haven't been out together before." Another little girl spoke.
Hearing this.
Xu Tao and the others whose families were not so well-off stopped talking.
They had to eat steamed buns a few days a month, so how could they afford to have a big meal? Li Xin's friends who were a little better off didn't care about their feelings.
"Our store is temporarily closed." Ye Jiao said.
"Why? The business was pretty good last time I went there, why is it closed?" Li Xin raised her voice, very puzzled.
"The area is too small, and the kitchen is also small. We need to rebuild it. We only sell breakfast next to it in the morning." Ye Jiao continued.
Now we only sell breakfast in the morning. The construction is dusty, and it is not suitable to sell other things.
"Does that mean we are setting up a stall to sell breakfast again?" Li Xin automatically ignored the first half of her words.
"It's going to be rebuilt bigger, and we'll definitely sell everything after it's built." Xu Tao said.
Li Xin pouted, "What do you mean by rebuilt?"
She certainly didn't expect that Ji Yang and his friends paid for it, and subconsciously thought that the store belonged to someone else. If it belonged to someone else, why did Ye Jiao and his friends think that the area was too small and they had to rebuild it?
Xu Tao thought that she had a problem with her comprehension, and Ye Jiao didn't know what to say, so she said, "If you want to come to our house, the earliest you can go is when school starts. I can treat you to a meal."
"Really?"
"Well, school starts, so there's no need to waste some time."
"Is it your husband who cooks? I want to try his cooking, too."
...
As soon as Ye Jiao opened her mouth, several people agreed.
They didn't want to have a dinner party in the first place. One or two yuan was nothing to Li Xin and her friends, but it was a huge sum of money for them. They couldn't afford it at all, but they were embarrassed to say it, fearing that they would be laughed at.
According to Ye Jiao's personality, if she went to their store, she would get a discount if she didn't get a free meal.
"No, he mixed the spices, but he can't cook them." Ye Jiao shook her head. When Ji Yang mixed the spices, he liked to let her cook them for him to taste.
"He mixed them? So good?" Xu Tao exclaimed.
Ye Jiao's smile became more genuine when she heard others praise Ji Yang. "It's just that his cooking skills are too bad. In fact, he can mix spices."
She thought the reason might be that Ji Yang was picky. When he mixed the spices, he asked her to cook them over and over again. His sense of smell was too sensitive, and he could always taste the best flavor.
"Can he cook dark dishes?"
"Curious."
...
Everyone's attention shifted, and Li Xin was ignored. She looked at Ye Jiao and gritted her teeth secretly.
Humph!
Let's see after the Chinese New Year. What kind of building is going to be built? In her opinion, I'm afraid it's not a lie, right?
Since the last incident, she felt that Ye Jiao was also very face-saving.
It was clear that she didn't want to give her a free meal, and finally she had no choice but to let her husband come out to take the blame. Why was she so stingy and pretending to be generous?
Life went on like this.
During the final holiday, an incident made her more convinced that Ye Jiao and her husband were poor ghosts.
The store is not going to run, but it is still pretending.
That day.
Old lady Li and Li Xin came to Chenjia Lane, holding an old hen and eggs, as well as a bag of brown sugar.
"Grandma, are you going to take care of my aunt? What about me and grandpa?" Li Xin followed her and kept muttering.
"You guys." Old lady Li shook her head, helpless, "Let's go and have a look first."
The two came to the door and knocked on it.
No one opened it.
"Knock knock knock." Old lady Li knocked again, "Qianqian? Xiaowei, are you home?"
Li Xin looked at the ground and stood aside. She didn't want to come. Li Qian didn't spoil her very much. She would lecture her from time to time, which she hated.
"Hold on, it's going to fall."
"Slow down."
A familiar voice came from behind. Li Xin turned her head and saw Ye Jiao appeared in her sight, together with her husband.
There were a lot of things on the cart.
Ye Jiao didn't expect to see her, and was slightly stunned.
"You guys live in this room too? My daughter lives here." Old Lady Li spoke first and asked a few polite questions.
"Yeah." Ye Jiao nodded and walked over to open the door, vaguely guessing it.
As expected, Li Qian was the other party's daughter.
"You just came back now? Let me help you move?" Li Xin said as she was about to help, Ji Yang took it first, "No need."
She really took her hand back, but she didn't actually intend to reach out, and continued, "Do you have to set up a stall every day now?"
"If it rains hard, I won't go." Ye Jiao said as she and Ji Yang lifted the tables and chairs and put away the dishes.
Now I only make a hundred yuan a day just by selling breakfast, which is indeed not as much as opening a store, but I have to continue.
Otherwise, the flow of customers will decrease.
"That's too hard." Li Xin said a few more words and followed Old Lady Li to the other side.
Ji Yang and Ye Jiao continued to work and didn't pay much attention to her.
In the room, Li Qian was struggling to get up, her face full of fatigue, "Mom, Xiaojiao, you sit down."
"Rest if you are tired, why be polite to family members?" Old Mrs. Li came over and looked at her with distress in her eyes.
Li Qian is already in her thirties, this is her first child, it has cost her half her life.
Chen Wei is a doctor, very busy, how can he have time to take care of her? He still has to take care of the child alone.
But her energy is not as good as before, and she is exhausted.
Li Xin sat on one side, looking at the baby on the other bed, crying again, she didn't like it.
To be honest, she also felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
She was the only child in the family before, everyone loved her, and the old couple Li spent all their retirement salary on her. After Li Qian gave birth to the child, she did drop.
