Bamei Supermarket is at the corner where the road out of the community intersects with Rihua West Lane.A facade of more than [-] square meters, with five rows of shelves inside, ranging from snacks, drinks to grain, oil, rice and noodles.

Although this place is convenient, because of Bamei Rong's past business, the nearby residents are not willing to come to her to buy things.So she thought of a trick, the big and small things in the store were cheaper than other people's.

Most of the residents here are living a tight life. The cheap ones are worth eighty cents, and people like them, but there is no shortage of customers.It's a small business, and apart from the rent, there is basically no profit.Fortunately, Qi Nuliang found a way to find someone through his relationship, and found her the general agent in the city. In short, he lowered the purchase price a little, so that after every month, there would be some savings.

It was hot, and Rong Bamei was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, so she pulled up the roller shutter doors on both sides of the corner to ventilate, and stood on the side of the road to have a panoramic view of the store.

She was sitting behind the cash register, and Qi Nuliang was leaning sideways on the counter and chatting with her, one with his head down and the other with his chin up.Qi Nuliang changed his posture a few times, Bamei Rong kept looking at him with a smile on her brows and eyes.

I don't know what they are talking about, Qi Nuliang has never talked like this before.He kept talking and added various body language, which seemed to be dancing.Although he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, but the tone of the speech was raised, and at some point, the two laughed together.Bamei Rong covered her mouth with a little girlish shyness in her joy.

Jiang Yu stood at the corner of the street, watching all this scene in his eyes.But the two people who were watched were so engaged in chatting that they didn't notice him at all.

He just asked Rong Xiaodie, and she said that her mother hadn't told her about it yet.

According to Jiang Yu's understanding of Rong Bamei, what she cares most about is Rong Xiaodie, it is impossible not to agree with her daughter about this kind of matter.Is she really so carried away that she doesn't even care about Rong Xiaodie's feelings?

Under the scorching sun, Jiang Yu bit the corner of his mouth, but he could clearly feel that a part of his heart was getting cold and hard, being burned to ashes by an emotion similar to jealousy.

Qi Nuliang had never smiled so happily in front of him.

At this time, a customer entered the store, and the two talking and laughing raised their heads, only then did they see the young man standing outside.

"It's so hot, what are you doing standing there, come in quickly."

Qi Nuliang greeted him, and Bamei Rong got into the shelf to find something for the customer.

When Jiang Yu walked into the store, Qi Nuliang brought him a stool and turned the electric fan to him.

When Bamei Rong got out of the shelf, she took a bottle of iced Coke and put it on the cashier counter: "Cool down." She turned to greet Qi Nuliang, "Go and pull down that shutter door, it's too hot, I have a meeting Air conditioner."

Jiang Yu just looked at her busy back walking up and down, and felt a little ironic.Rong Bamei, who has always disliked him, is now trying to please him.This woman couldn't even be Rong Xiaodie's own mother well, but wanted to be his "stepmother".

Once the air conditioner was turned on, it was much cooler.

Qi Nuliang put the hanging shirt coat over the vest, and put his arms around Jiang Yu's shoulders: "I just discussed with Bamei, and said that we should go out for a while while you and Xiaodie are on vacation. I said we should go In the north, summer is cool. That time we went to Inner Mongolia, it was quite fun, wasn’t it.”

"It's not so cool in the north this day. I read the weather forecast. It's over 30 degrees. Why don't you go to the south to see the sea."

"What do you think?" Qi Nuliang asked Jiang Yu, "I also listen to your and Xiaodie's opinions."

"What does that girl know?" Rong Bamei glanced at Qi Nuliang, "It's not that I don't know what gift Jiang Yu will give Hong Zhong when he is admitted to the exam. Why don't we just listen to him tell me where to go?"

The two looked at Jiang Yu together, but Jiang Yu didn't speak.

"Don't worry, just think about it slowly."

Rong Bamei was also a little embarrassed to see that Jiang Yu had been silent.Ever since Qi Nuliang said that Jiang Yu had no problem with them being together, Bamei Rong felt a little uncomfortable every time she saw the child, always feeling that he had not fully accepted her.Qi Nuliang only knew how to comfort her lightly, saying that it would be nice to spend more time together in the future, and he would treat her as one of his own.

She glanced at the untouched Coke, and couldn't help asking: "Do you want ice cream? There's a new batch of fruit flavored ones, and that girl eats several of them every day. I won't let her come to the store anymore."

"How much is the ice cream worth? It's hot, you can let her eat more and the store won't collapse."

She gave Qi Nuliang a white look: "The little girl eats too much cold food, and she will have a stomachache in the future."

"Why does it hurt later?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you, you don't understand."

"You told me, didn't I understand?"

"I told you that you still don't understand. This is a topic among women."

The two of them acted like no one was talking about Che Jilu, but they looked very interesting.

Jiang Yu was upset, and said coldly, "Did you tell your daughter?"

"What did you say?" Rong Bamei asked back, but immediately she understood Jiang Yu's meaning, and muttered, "Say it or not, can she control me?"

"You haven't told the little girl about us yet? I didn't ask you to tell her well. "

"Aren't you busy a while ago?" Rong Bamei frowned, and then comforted Qi Nuliang, "The girl has a big heart, she just has snacks and popsicles to eat, and she doesn't care about these at all. Besides, she likes you very much, so don't worry. "

"You still have to make it clear with your child."

"Oh, I see."

In the evening, Qi Nuliang and Jiang Yu had dinner at home.

The houses in the daily chemical factory were too narrow to accommodate four people, and he couldn't bear to leave Jiang Yu alone all the time, so he made an agreement with Bamei Rong that they would live separately before moving to the city.

Qi Nuliang gave Jiang Yu some vegetables: "Eat some dried plum vegetables to relieve the tiredness."

During this period of time, Qi Nuliang was also extraordinarily considerate to him, and he naturally understood the reason.

The more I understand, the more panicked my heart becomes.

"My eighth sister gave me dried plums. She said she made it herself. It's not bad."

"Ah."

"Eat as much as you like."

Jiang Yu just lowered his head to pick up the rice, gulping it down, and didn't care about other appearances.Qi Nuliang wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth and stopped talking.

At this moment, the door slammed loudly, Qi Nuliang opened the door, and looked down at Rong Xiaodie.

The little girl's face was full of tears, the tears were mixed with sweat, and her hair was disheveled. When she saw Qi Nuliang, she swung her arms and punched him hard, crying and howling.

"Bad people...bad people...you are not allowed to marry my mother...you are not allowed to take my mother away... woo woo woo..."

Hearing this, Qi Nuliang also panicked, squatted down quickly, grabbed the little girl's arm, and tried to reason with her: "Xiaodie, don't cry, I didn't take your mother away..."

"I don't listen...you are a bad person, I hate you..."

Bamei Rong, who was following closely behind, also went upstairs at this time.Compared to Rong Xiaodie, she was not much better, her hair was disheveled and her face was ugly.

She sternly scolded her: "Rong Xiaodie, try to drive me crazy again."

Rong Xiaodie was not afraid of her mother, and even cried and beat Qi Nuliang at this time.While waving wildly, she punched Qi Nuliang in the eye.

Qi Nuliang groaned halfway, and covered his eyes in pain.

Bamei Rong was in a hurry, stepped forward to pick up Rong Xiaodie, and slapped her: "I told you to stop."

Rong Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, and the crying stopped for a moment, and after a short while, she howled and cried loudly.At the same time, the object of venting turned to Rong Bamei, and the mother and daughter tore up.

Seeing this, Qi Nuliang endured the pain in his eyes, and quickly got up to break up the fight: "Bamei, don't hit her...Xiaodie, don't confront your mother..."

At this time, the neighbors on the left and right opened the door and stretched out their heads to look.

Rong Bamei pushed Qi Nuliang away: "Don't worry about it."

Without saying a word, she grabbed Rong Xiaodie, half-dragged and half-hugged her daughter forcefully, and brought her daughter back home.

Uncle Wang next door looked at Qi Nuliang: "Xiao Qi, what's going on, why did those girls come to your door..." Before he could finish speaking, the old man was dragged into the house by his wife.

He didn't see his neighbors when he looked up, but anyone with a little discernment knew that he had an unusual relationship with Bamei Rong.

Qi Nuliang also went back to the house, sat on the sofa, a little downcast.He thought that Rong Xiaodie liked Jiang Yu and didn't hate him, so he would easily accept them as family members, but he didn't expect the little girl to react so strongly.

"Brother, put it on your eyes." Jiang Yu brought a bottle of ice water wrapped in a towel.

Qi Nuliang took it and pressed it on the eye sockets, raised his head, and sighed heavily.

Jiang Yu looked sad at him, but he couldn't say anything now.

"Xiaodie used to bite one uncle's and beat me on the back. I didn't expect that she would suddenly hate me so much." Qi Nuliang was puzzled and helpless.

"In the past, you were her mother's shield. Her mother wouldn't let you do what she wanted to do. She moved you out and let her go. She naturally knows that you can bring her benefits, so she will please you."

Qi Nuliang looked at Jiang Yu sideways with one eye, and listened to him continue.

"Now, you want to be with her mother. She regards you as an opponent who snatches her mother. How can she not hate you?"

"How do I snatch Bamei away? Isn't that still her mother?"

"You think so, but Rong Xiaodie doesn't think so. She only has one mother to rely on, and of course she can't see her mother treating others well."

Qi Nuliang turned around and fell silent.It seems to be the case.

But why does this kid know so clearly?He turned to look at Jiang Yu again.

Back then, he only had his mother to rely on. Is this why Yao Huilan didn't remarry for so many years?

Qi Nuliang pinched Jiang Yu's shoulder and pressed it.With a kind of silent comfort, tell Jiang Yu that he understands.

Qi Nuliang unscrewed the ice water in his hand and took two sips.With a cold compress for a while, the eyes can at least be opened.

"Brother, it's okay, you can go take a shower first."

He put the water bottle on the table and stood up: "I'll go down to see Bamei first, wash yourself and go to bed first."
