Not a god

Chapter 41 The New Year is Coming
When Jiang Wanwan was very young, her parents divorced. She was 4 years old at that time. She was not clear about many things at that time, and she doesn’t remember many things now.

All she knew was that in her memory, there was a man who was her father, but then he disappeared and she would never see her father again.

She seemed very sad at the time, but also seemed not to be.

At the age of 4, the girl cannot control her own destiny. She lives the way the adults arrange for her. There is one less man whom she calls dad, but life still has to go on, and children have short memories, so she won't be sad if she follows her mother.

But later on, my mother also passed away. That’s not quite right. It was because my mother had to work, and her job was very busy and she had to travel everywhere, so we decided to leave her in the countryside.

But how could she understand all this at the time? She only knew that her mother took her to a very far away place that day. She thought they were here to play, and she was very happy because her mother rarely had time to take her out to play due to work.

But by the evening, her mother seemed unwilling to take her with her.

The child is very perceptive. When she saw her mother leaving, she realized that her mother was going to leave her and never come back, and they didn't want Wanwan anymore.

She kept running and shouting:

"Take Wanwan with you, Mom. Mom, take Wanwan with you."

She didn't know what she had done wrong, she just kept crying. She was stupid and couldn't do anything right. This must be the reason why her parents didn't want her. She said she would change and cried until she was hoarse.

But mom still left.

She left with only her back, leaving so resolutely.

A feeling of powerlessness and despair surrounded the little girl.

Five-year-old Jiang Wanwan believes that her mother just doesn’t want her anymore, and that her promise to come back after finishing work must be a lie.

Because my father said the same thing when he left, but in fact he never came back once.

She was left in a place where she could not see her parents. The dogs in the village were very fierce, the free-range chickens would chase her, the adults were very busy, the food was not delicious, and the children would not play with her, although she did not want to play with those dirty children.

Everything here is so strange, except for one person who is familiar to her.

She asked him, "Does your father not want you too?"

The child from her cousin's family, who had lived with her since childhood and whom she called brother, was also left here.

It’s just that her brother doesn’t like her. Every time she wanted to play with him, he never played with her.

So in the past, she seldom went to play with him or talk to him. Even though they lived in the same house, there was a huge gap between them.

But now, this boy was the only thing she was familiar with.

The boy looked at her, with no disgust or affection in his eyes. Seeing that she had stopped crying, he finally answered her:
"This is my grandparents' home. We will live here from now on."

He said this and left, and Jiang Wanwan hurriedly followed him.

Her brother is very capable. He is the same age as her, but he is a hundred times more capable than her. It seems that he can do anything. Sometimes she even feels that her brother is more capable than her mother and her cousin.

The little girl's 5-year-old hands could not hold anything, neither her father nor her mother. The existence or disappearance of that home would not change because of her thoughts. For her, Chen Xi in front of her was the only thing she could still hold.

So she was unwilling to let go.

Although her brother still ignored her as before.

*
A week passed in a flash. These days, Chen Xi was busy running the store during the day and logging on to kill birds at night.

Tomorrow, his cafe will officially open!

I have been repeatedly practicing the "Ox and Horse Heart Sutra" these past few days, and my strength has reached the level of 6 oxen. What does 6 oxen mean? If a ox weighs 500 kilograms, that would be 3 tons.

However, if you want to continue to improve, according to the previous rules, you have to kill at least a thousand of them. Although there are endless social animals, a thousand of them will not reach 7 cows in a month or so.

Cows and horses are still cows and horses after all. Do you think that by becoming the strongest among cows and horses, you can change your fate? Chen Xi felt that the potential of this "Cow and Horse Heart Sutra" was just about right, but he still couldn't beat the big community animal bird.

Next I should try my luck somewhere else.

As for skills, I was unlucky and only gained one new skill.

This skill comes from an 18th-tier singer named Meng Qingliu.

Meng Qingliu practiced opera when he was young, but his talent was limited. Later he changed his career to become a singer. He was quite famous in the area when he was young, but the pressure was too great and he became addicted to drinking. His voice became worse and worse, and his popularity plummeted.

In the end, she could only take commercial performances, and there were even fewer of them. Since her singing voice was not good, she had to make do with other things. She began to find new ways, wearing less and less, and more and more sexy clothes. Finally, she was invited to some weddings and funerals in the countryside.

She finally retired from the entertainment industry because she took on a job organizing a wedding or funeral in a rural area.

That day she just simply exposed her thighs and belly button, but she was spotted by a scoundrel in the audience. On the way back to the hotel, he suddenly pulled her to the grass by the river and raped her, and he accidentally hit her forehead on a stone.

Yes, it is the biosphere that is retreating.

He died on the way to work. This social animal is really full of resentment. He is the most powerful social animal except for the old Chinese doctor from the Warring States Period.

Let me first state the conclusion. Ms. Meng Qingliu has the freedom to dress however she wants, and the one who is definitely wrong is that beast who is worse than pigs and dogs.

Singing, reciting, acting and fighting are another seemingly useless skill, but Chen Xi realized a truth yesterday: there are no useless skills, only useless users.

Just like the honey massage he had just learned a few days ago, he thought it was useless, but with the help of the knowledge of human acupoints from the Qihuang technique, he massaged Jiang Wanwan so hard that she was shaking for more than ten minutes just from the afterglow.

The cricket god is but one in number.

Chen Xi warmed up his voice on the spot and told little Chen Yi the story of "Fights Break Sphere" in the evening, all in the Peking Opera style.

"Today's story is about Yun Yun's defeat to the Purple Crystal Lion, her encounter with Xiao Lang after her strength was sealed, her unexpected encounter with a wolf demon while bathing, her recovery in the cave and her sharing of hardships, her mistaken use of aphrodisiac in the grilled fish, and her promise to Fang Xin in the Magic Beast Mountains..."

Little Chen Yi was so engrossed in listening that Jiang Wanwan beside her was stunned.

Are we all this way when raising children now?

The next day, January 1, sunny

The cafe officially opened today.

Business was booming on the first day. Regular clerks Bai Douzi, Chen Yan, and part-time clerk Feng Qinqin were all here. Chen Xi and Jiang Wanwan were also busy, and they all felt a little overwhelmed.

In addition to guests, many of Chen Xi's friends also come to patronize the store, including college classmates, high school classmates, graduate school seniors, classmates from the sports department, and friends he met while working part-time.

In addition to these, there were also many real wild guests, and Chen Xi received them one after another.

Seeing the good business in the store, Chen Xi seemed to be able to see a new star rising in the catering industry, and catching up with Swiss Chaomi was just around the corner!
Of course, this is all an illusion. After all, it is normal to be busy when a new store opens. After a couple of days, it will no longer be so popular.

Moreover, their store actually has a rather bourgeois image and a quiet environment. It is not like the milk tea shops on the street where you can just take the food and go, and they can’t accommodate more people if the store is full.

At this time, Jiang Wanwan's cell phone rang, and she ran to the kitchen to answer the call.

"Crooked? What for?"

"Do you miss mommy?"

The person on the phone was Jiang Wanwan's mother, a former actress, Ms. Jiang, who was currently filming a movie in the Greater Khingan Range.
