The two found a seat by the window. Google search reading

Soon, the waiter brought two lunches. In order not to arouse suspicion, the lunch was very simple, a small bowl of beef offal soup and a plate of salted potato chips.

Erbao skillfully helped his "sweetheart" set the tableware.

"Classmate Xu..."

"Didn't I tell you, just call me Erbao."

"Two...Two treasures." Xie Delin blushed: "I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find such a good job."

She had also gone out to work during the summer vacation before.

As a result, the work was tiring, the salary was only 80 yuan a day, and I had to work twelve hours.

One day here is almost as good as the previous four days.

"You're welcome. Although we are not in the same class, we have taken the same elective courses. It is also a kind of fate, isn't it?"

Erbao shook his head quickly.

Xie Delin stared at the other person for a while, then carefully probed: "Erbao, do you know Mr. Cui?"

She is not a stupid eldest sister, she has noticed the clues long ago.

"Uh, did you see it?"

Erbao smiled guiltily.

"You think I've never worked a part-time job? Mr. Cui, the general manager, is a little too kind to us two temporary workers. From the first day we entered the store, he never scolded either of us."

Xie Delin explained softly.

"Maybe it's Mr. Cui?"

Erbao argued.

The corner of Xie Delin's mouth curled up: "Sister Yao and other regular workers have been scolded, how can we two be exceptions? And today's lunch is a matter of course."

"Okay, you guessed it right. I do know Mr. Cui. She is my sister's best friend."

Faced with the facts, Erbao could only admit it happily.

"No wonder! But I still have to thank you for the work. I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect that I and Mr. Cui thought of it together, so I could only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

Xie Delin scooped out most of the beef offal from his own bowl and gently put it into the other person's bowl.

"No, no, you can eat it yourself!"

Erbao refused again and again.

In response, he also shared half of the potato chips, but the other party did not refuse.

"The potato slices here are fried in butter. They taste very good. You should try them too."

"Thank you!" Xie Dailin smiled sweetly and then greeted: "Okay, let's start eating quickly. Don't waste the delicious food. To be honest, I've been hungry for many days."

"Hehe, me too."

Erbao immediately agreed.

"I didn't see it." Xie Delin shook his head slightly, and then chatted while eating: "Er Bao, it seems that your family's conditions are not bad. How come you want to work during the winter vacation?"

"What other purpose could there be? Of course I want to earn more pocket money. My parents are very strict about money management."

Of course, Erbao will not tell the truth stupidly. It is not the time yet. Telling it will only increase embarrassment and may even scare the other party away.

"Really? Don't you have enough pocket money?"

Xie Delin said doubtfully.

"It's okay to tell you. I want to save money to buy an electric bicycle. We will start our internship this summer. It will be more convenient to have a car."

Erbao made up a reason casually.

However, the internship is indeed true. The domestic disaster has seriously affected the living order in Sydney, and the security situation suddenly became serious.

The situation waits for no one!

All available resources must be utilized.

Xie Delin sighed: "What a pity. I wish I could work for two more months during the summer vacation. Even after we graduate, it will be difficult for us to get a salary of 300 yuan a day."

"Don't be stupid. Being a policeman is better than being a waiter, right?"

Erbao was startled and quickly reminded him.

You don't need to ask to know that it is absolutely impossible for my mother to accept a waiter as her daughter-in-law. Niuniu has almost failed to pass the test with such a high degree of education.

"Don't worry, I'm just talking."

Xie Dailin said insincerely.

Their family's financial situation is not good. The reason why she chose to attend the police academy was that besides free tuition,

There is also usually a living allowance, which can reduce a lot of the burden on the family.

Erbao was still a little worried and immediately thought of a foolproof strategy:

"Xie Delin, isn't your sister taking the college entrance examination this year? After the college entrance examination is over, why not let her come part-time and earn her own tuition and living expenses."

Xie Delin immediately put down the spoon: "Is this possible? Is it too much trouble?"

"No trouble, Mr. Cui and my sister are best friends, it's not just a matter of words."

Erbao promised, patting his chest on the spot.

"Er Bao, thank you."

"I told you that you're welcome. We are good friends. Shouldn't friends help each other?"

Xie Delin lowered his head subconsciously.

In fact, she had already noticed that classmate Xu was interested in her, but she had no intention of falling in love at all. Their father died young, and it was only their mother who supported the three siblings.

Erbao saw classmate Xie in a daze and immediately expressed concern:

"Xie Delin, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Delin reacted instantly: "It's okay, the soup is almost cold, let's drink the soup quickly!"

Half an hour later, the romantic lunch ended.

Erbao suggested: "Would you like to go shopping? The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow, and the streets are very lively." Qiang Shi Read Shi

"No need, I have something to do at home."

"Okay then, I'll take you back."

Erbao said smoothly.

After all, Classmate Xie is a girl. He used to escort her home every day after get off work.

Xie Dailin waved her hand quickly: "No, uu is reading. It's not eight or nine o'clock in the evening. It's okay for me to go home alone."

Although there is no obvious difference between day and night, there are many pedestrians and police on the streets during the day, which is relatively safer.

"It's okay. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do. I introduced this job. I won't feel at ease if I don't send you home safely."

Erbao insisted.

Xie Dailin had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness. In the end, the two got on the bus together.

Half an hour later, Yahai Community arrived. This time Zhang Si

Erbao sent his "sweetheart" downstairs. Before parting, he took out a bag of five kilograms of dried sweet potatoes from his backpack.

This was made by his grandmother herself.

"Erbao, what are you doing?"

"This is my Spring Festival gift to you. I want to wish you a Happy New Year in advance. Please also wish my aunt a Happy New Year."

"I can't take it. You should take it back!"

"It's just a bag of dried sweet potatoes. It's not expensive. Just take it. I'm leaving."

Erbao put down the bag and turned to run.

Dried sweet potatoes are the most common ingredients they can find in their family. He originally wanted to put a few eggs in it, but later thought that it was not in line with his "identity".

In the end, he gave up.

"Erbao, don't run?"

Xie Dailin immediately chased after him with the bag.

"Don't chase me. See you on the second day of the New Year!"

Erbao quickly ran out of the community. When he passed the guard room, he also stuffed a small bag of dried sweet potatoes, about half a pound, into the doorman.

The doorman was so happy that he kept praising Erbao for being sensible.
