gentle night

Dude for popsicles and construction paper?Do you want to come and see the store? The shop owner was quite surprised. Originally, he was hoping to recruit two elder sisters who had retired before the age of 50, who were reliable and willing to do the job. Selling stationery and working in a small shop is more suitable for middle-aged aunts.

"Well, something happened suddenly a while ago. I quit my job at the courier company. Why don't you come out and look for work again! It's hard to find suitable jobs these days. I saw you recruiting people yesterday, so I thought it would be close to home. I'm not a stranger to you. It would be great if I could work for a while. I think we two brothers will work for you first. If you recruit suitable people in the future, you won't give us the whole shift, but some bits and pieces. It’s also okay to be a substitute. The money is easy to negotiate, and the idea is to be close to home, and pass the time by the way..."

Cheng Xian pulled Yue Junsheng to stand in the shop, talking to the shop owner across the counter.Although the owner of the store is a businessman, he is just a small businessman, a little shrewd and a little hesitant.He looked at the sturdy Cheng Xian, and at Yue Junsheng who loved his pencil case, pen bag, and drawing paper, and couldn't help but feel hesitant.After a long time, he knocked on the counter with his hand, and decided to come up with a compromise: "Hey, actually, I just want to find a middle-aged elder sister to visit the store, but since you live so close and take good care of my business, I I'm too embarrassed to reject you all outright. That's fine, I have to go to the wholesale market every weekend to buy goods. During this time, there must be someone in the store. If you want to, you can come to the store to replace me during this time. Also, sometimes I have something to do at home, you know My wife is not in good health, and my son is young...Maybe I often need someone to take over the shift. The situation is basically like this, I will continue to recruit people who can do long shifts, and now there are only these slack hours, what are you willing to do?" At this time A customer came in outside the door, and the shop owner took the opportunity to get busy, leaving Cheng Xian and the others to think about it on their own.

Cheng Xian laughed inwardly, whether he wanted to do it or not, he planned to take the little koala to see what was new.After the customer who bought things checked out, he went up to the shop owner and said, "I am willing to do it. Do you want to start this weekend?"

Compared with the delivery of couriers running around the streets before, the job in the stationery store can be described as extremely leisurely.Every time he took over the shift, the shop owner just left, Cheng Xian sat down on the small swivel chair behind the counter, crossed his legs, and looked straight at the door, like an old monk in meditation.He came here originally for entertainment, just use a pair of tricks to prevent people from stealing anything.It's not like that little stupid dog, squatting on the side of the shelf to sort things seriously, where to put the pen refills, where to put the trinkets, where to put the glue sticks, and where to put the greeting cards, he remembers them all one by one.I didn't rest after I wrote it down. I walked around the store to read it, and even took out a small notebook to write and draw on it. It took me a long time to stop.

Cheng Xian couldn't help asking him: "Looking at the store is just looking at the store. What are you doing so busy there? The store owner will not be happy to see you working so hard, but also worried that you will learn his business skills secretly... Come on. , let me see, what have you scratched in your notebook?"

"Ah?" Yue Jun was stunned, and he handed the small book to Cheng Xian, "But I just want to know what kind of goods he bought!" After a pause, "So we will know everything when we open a store in the future? ?”

Cheng Xian looked at the immature fonts mixed with pictures on the notebook, and then looked at Yue Junsheng intently.The little idiot was still looking at him calmly.

"You think too far," Cheng Xian closed the book with a snap, and returned the bag to the idiot, "Don't do this when the shop owner is around, understand?" He caught Yue Junsheng while there was no one in the shop Kissed her cheek.

"Yeah!" Yue Junsheng's eyes sparkled immediately, he sat down next to Cheng Xian, grabbed Cheng Xian's hand and touched it again and again.He knew that being outside was not as good as being at home, and that he couldn't just wrap his arms around Cheng Cheng's neck and snuggle around like he was at home.He had no choice but to stay as close as possible to Cheng Xian, catching Cheng Xian's eyes from time to time, and every time he could confirm that there was unchanging love for himself.This love encouraged him, and he kept using his half-witted brain to ask the two of them to plan their future.He is really willing to share the burden for Cheng Xian, and he really thinks that opening a small stationery store is a good idea.He himself likes things like pens, notebooks, manuscript paper, cards, etc. Compared with other things, he thinks these stationery have a special gentleness and kindness.How much he wants to rely on buying and selling these things to support his and Cheng Xian's life!If the shop owner can do this, why can't he and Cheng Cheng?Our little idiot is very courageous, even if he was not born to be very courageous, his love for Cheng Xian made him very courageous.

In this way, Yue Junsheng always helps in the stationery store with a faintly excited heart. Whether he is pricing things or collecting money at the counter, he is secretly studying and working hard.When Cheng Xian saw this, he didn't ask questions, and let him tidy up in the store like a hardworking little bee.It's just that every time he walks home in the dark, he always hugs Yue Junsheng even tighter.

The cold wind came and went, and the two of them wore the same down jacket, hat, scarf and gloves, walking in the bleak alley, never really feeling cold.

thirty,

When two people agree with each other, their profit will break gold.Although there is no gold to break right now, there is at least one thing that has been washed away with the passage of time, and that is Cheng Xian's worries about the future.In this winter season, every day he and Yue Junsheng live and make out with each other naturally, and occasionally visit the stationery store. It is such an ordinary day, which fills his heart with a sense of steadfastness and tranquility.Gradually, he no longer thinks that this is the happiness he stole by chance, and that one day the bell will ring and it will be taken back.Day after day, he feels that this kind of life is exactly what he wants, and it is also what Yue Junsheng wants, and the two of them are working together to make this kind of life longer and better.Even Yue Junsheng worked harder than him, this little stupid dog who looked ignorant, is now really trying to take down a stationery store, and is determined to support the two of them by buying and selling pens, inks and blueprints.Look at how he holds up a small notebook to write calculations every day, and he likes to drag Cheng Xian around the wholesale market when he is free.Seeing all the novelties, I brought them to Cheng Xian, "Cheng Cheng, how about this one? Do you like it?"

Cheng Xian touched his face, "It doesn't matter if I like it or not, as long as your little customers like it. You can ask the children in the school what they like, and you can buy what kind of goods. Think about it See, is that the reason?"

After hearing this, the little stupid dog blinked and slapped his eyelashes several times, and sighed, "Cheng Cheng, you're so smart!" He stepped forward to grab Cheng Xian's hand and held it loosely.

There was a hint of a smile in Cheng Xian's eyes, "You are the only one who sees me that way, no one has ever said that I am smart except you."

"Why?" Yue Junsheng turned his face away, surprised, "Didn't Cheng Cheng's parents, relatives and friends praise you?"

Cheng Xian walked slowly with him, "No."

Yue Jun's voice was full of disbelief, and he really wanted to say something to comfort Cheng Cheng, but he looked at Cheng Xian's face and said, "Speaking of which, Cheng Cheng, I haven't seen your family yet? You never mentioned relatives or anything to me."

The little stupid dog suddenly discovered this, and couldn't stop at once.

Cheng Xian hooked him with the corner of his eye, "My parents passed away a long time ago, and now there is only my uncle and aunt..." He sincerely hoped that the little idiot would not ask any more questions.

But how is it possible?The little stupid dog suddenly became hot while holding Cheng Xian's hand, "Cheng Cheng, can I see them?" He should know Cheng Cheng's family members, right?

Yue Junsheng looked at Cheng Xian eagerly, Cheng Xian had no choice but to avoid his gaze, "I'll try to see if I can contact them!" he prevaricated casually.

Yue Jun said a cute "hmm" beside his voice. He really believed that Cheng Xian would contact his uncle's family, and he even began to wonder in his mind: I don't know what Cheng Cheng's uncles and aunts look like?

When the leaves were about to fall, the owner of the stationery store paid the two of them their first wages.In Cheng Xian's view, a small amount of money and a few flimsy bills is just enough to make a tooth sacrifice at a food stall.When he thought about it, he said, then turned around and asked Yue Junsheng if he would use the money to have a big meal outside to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, the little stupid dog held the small sum of money like it was pinching its lifeblood, and shook its head solemnly, "No, Cheng Cheng, now we have to save money to buy a stationery store, and we can't waste it eating out. Anyway, my money must be Save your money... you better save it, we can go home and cook."

Cheng Xian laughed, and grabbed his face in the street, "What? Now you're starting to control me?" But he didn't feel disgusted at all in his heart.

Yue Junsheng blushed, not knowing whether it was cold or something, "I, I want to take care of you! I don't want to see you working hard, I want to open a shop with you, so that you can relax. I, I take care of you because you want to Take it easy." It took a lot of effort to speak, and after she finished speaking, her face flushed even more, and she stood there awkwardly.

He had the courage to say these words, he didn't know how Cheng Xian would react, maybe he was going to be scolded?

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xian just looked at him, looked at him with a pair of unfamiliar and gentle eyes, until he was at a loss, shrunk into a small ball.The little straw bag pulled Cheng Xian's hand, "Cheng Cheng, are you angry?"

Cheng Xian suddenly smiled, grabbed his shoulders and walked away, "I said, I will never be angry with you. Go! Go to the supermarket to buy mutton,
