Peaceful journey

Qiu Tong sat at the small table and ate a whole piece of cake with a small spoon.

Xia Hua's cakes are all made very small, and after she finished eating one piece, she still couldn't get enough of it.

The taste of the Black Forest combines the sourness of cherries, the sweetness of cream, the bitterness of chocolate and the mellow aroma of kirsch. It is produced in a place in Germany called the Black Forest, and its name comes from this, not because of its appearance. Most of them are black and are called Black Forest.

In fact, the authentic black forest cake is not black, but a kind of cherry cream cake.According to legend, the Black Forest is rich in cherries. During the harvest season, the peasant women will generously stuff the cherries into the interlayer of the cake, or decorate the surface of the cake. Cherry juice will also be added to the cake cream to make the cake embryo. Cherry wine is also added to the flour.

However, after it spread to all parts of the country, various details could no longer be studied, and the production method has undergone many evolutions, and it is no longer as monotonous as it was at the beginning.

Below the small square cake is a black and white cake body, sandwiched by a layer of cake and a layer of cream, sprinkled with finely divided dark chocolate shavings, with a little white cream in the center, and a big red cherry dotted on the cream.There is still a faint bitter taste of dark chocolate in Qiutong's mouth. After the bitter taste passes, there will be the sweetness and softness of late cream and a light cherry wine taste.

She is very sensitive to bitterness, but she likes to eat Black Forest, because behind the bitterness of Black Forest, there is a long aftertaste.

She deliberately took a seat facing the front desk, and she could see the little girl sitting behind the counter with her head down when she looked up.

An Ning was reading a book, but she noticed that the book hadn't turned a page for a long time.

Qiutong wanted to laugh for no reason. She seemed to relax naturally when she saw the little girl. The smile on her lips was more real than ever.

Perhaps her previous attitude was too obvious, which hurt the little girl's heart. She talked to her a few times just now, but An Ning still kept her head down and didn't respond to her except shaking her head and nodding.

On the surface, Qiu Tong didn't care, and turned a blind eye to An Ning's avoidance. After eating the cake with a smile, she returned to the front desk.

As soon as she approached, An Ning raised her head and looked at her, the mist in her eyes had disappeared and became clear again.But the anxiety and expectation that couldn't be concealed were seen by Qiu Tong.

She sighed secretly in her heart, this little girl, won't you remember the pain after giving her a few smiling faces?Why are you so stupid?

An Ning pursed her lips, pointed to the price written on the cardboard, and carefully watched the expression on her face.She doesn't understand, does sister Qiutong really dislike her?Or is she thinking too much?Maybe she just doesn't like chatting?Or rarely play WeChat?

She was looking forward to it faintly in her heart, but she was afraid that it would be annoying if she approached it, so she only dared to observe secretly.

The white fingertips handed over a black card, the freshly changed nail polish was shining with tiny sequins, Qiu Tong said: "No, just swipe the card."

The little girl took the card to swipe it, and when she came back, she looked inquiringly.

Qiu Tong reached over and rubbed her head gently. The soft hair was cool to the touch, and it felt good.She squinted her eyes and smiled, with shimmering eyeshadow painted on the end of her long and narrow eyes, she looked very attractive, "Little girl, I'm going first, go to work and see you again."

Goodbye if there is a fate, don't say goodbye if there is no fate?

Watching her turn and leave without hesitation again, An Ning followed her retreating figure until she disappeared from sight, and that fiery figure never looked back.

The chest was heavy, and the sadness quietly surfaced. An Ning took a deep breath, suppressing the tears in her eyes from flowing out. She lowered her head and tried to hide her face.

Qiutong is real, maybe he doesn't like her.

Qiu Tong, who walked out of the store, restrained her smile, and strode forward with a cold face. Xia Hua, who worked peacefully, happened to be the one near her residence, and she walked a hundred meters to the gate of the community.She knew that An Ning was going to come here two days earlier. Xia Hua was her private property. The owner of the shop sent a report saying that minors were never accepted in the shop. Tell the shopkeeper that An Ning can't arrange heavy work for her when she goes to work, and she must take care of her carefully.

She still doesn't know that the shop owner secretly guesses whether An Ning is the daughter of some family who came to experience life. These days, he takes good care of her and seldom gives her orders. Usually, the employees who just entered the shop are good-looking In the beginning, she was asked to stand at the door as the front door welcome.

Thinking of the disappointed look in the little girl's eyes, and the cautiousness of not daring to approach, Qiu Tong felt complicated.

Isn't this what she expected?Don't have too many intersections with An Ning, it's best to return to your own life and forget about that girl who is like a bright star in her life...

But in the end, An Ning only looked at her with sad eyes, and she was restless. Under the indifferent appearance was a noisy heart, urging her one after another, go and coax her, she is about to cry, don't let her cry, How can you bear to make her sad?

No, reason yelled to stop in time.Hearing the news and coming to see her was already against her will. That child was too dangerous and attracted her so much that it was impossible to answer it with common sense.

The first time she saw her, she couldn't help but stop the car to save the beauty, and when she saw her again, she took the initiative to make an appointment for dinner and gave her private number. After so many days without seeing her, her figure has never disappeared from her mind. The place jumped out and asked her loudly, sister, do you not like me?

Qiutong even thought, could it be that after walking in the gutter and dark alley for a long time, seeing such a pure white and flawless person, would he be so emotional?

However, behind the irritability, there is another kind of secret joy.She didn't misunderstand the person. Under her cold treatment, An Ning looked at her with clear eyes, without any complaints. Even if she was silently rejected, she was still looking forward to Qiu Tong's approach.

The peaceful world is pure white, and she will lick her wounds when she is hurt, but if you touch her, she will rekindle her trust in you like a kitten that does not hold grudges.Such people are rare now. In today's society, who doesn't have to pay back and care about every detail?

Qiu Tong could see that An Ning's importance to her had not diminished. Although she didn't know why, the little girl was visibly happy when she saw her, but this made Qiu Tong very comforting.

Just imagine, you love someone very much, and you can't forget to toss and turn about it. One day you suddenly find that that person is also worried about you and sleepless all night. Will there be infinite satisfaction in your heart?

Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched and the description is exaggerated, it can show Qiutong's psychology. Unfortunately, I can only use this reason to comfort myself.

Even if she doesn't see her again in the future, she will always remember that little girl deeply.

The store was not busy in the afternoon, and the temperature in the back kitchen and baking room was too high. Zhang Haibo chased An Ning out and asked her to rest outside.

The air conditioner was turned on outside, and the small room was cool. An Ning's body was a little weak, and his hands and feet felt cold after staying for a long time.She took the initiative to take over the work of a waitress, serving tea and cakes to the guests.

It's the hottest day of July, and the nearby schools are on holiday again, so there are not many customers during the day, usually at six or seven o'clock in the evening, when the sun goes down, the sky darkens, and after the temperature drops, there will be more people. .

So their off-duty time was also extended a little, and they didn't get off work until seven o'clock in the evening.

An Ning was busy in the store like a little bee, serving a plate to one table and delivering a drink to another table, time passed quickly.

Unknowingly, it was seven o'clock, and the sky had already darkened. Zhou Lan turned over the sign at the entrance of the store, turned it around, and turned it to the outside of the store, which was temporarily closed.

"Sorry, we're off work, please come back next time." She said to the ladies in the store and the customers looking at the cakes outside the window.

Taking advantage of the owner rushing away, Miss Zou Fangfang made a glass of strawberry milkshake and handed it to An Ning: "Thanks for your hard work, I'll drink it for you on the way."

In the past few days, she would receive a cup of milk tea or a piece of cake from time to time. An Ning was no longer as frightened as she was at first. She took it and smiled at Zou Fangfang.

After changing her clothes and saying goodbye to everyone, An Ning walked outside the store and rolled out a bicycle under the eaves.

The bike was brand new, sky blue, bought for her by her mother after the senior high school entrance examination, and An Ning was able to ride it steadily after two days of training in the community.The place where I go to work is a bit far from my home. If I take a bus, I have to transfer. It only takes more than half an hour to ride a bicycle, and it is more convenient to ride a bicycle.

The big glass of milkshake was not finished yet, and it was put into the front basket.The night is clear and light, with a faint moon shadow on the sky, but the stars are invisible.Bright street lights shone on the road, there was a lot of turbulent traffic, and there were many people walking on the sidewalk. It was actually more lively at night than during the day.

There were too many people in the vicinity, so An Ning pushed the bike and walked slowly, thinking about passing this bustling road before riding on the road.

I remember when I first bought the bicycle, my father taught her to ride it during the rest time. An Ning was holding on to the handlebars and shaking, and Lu Nan followed behind. He just said, don’t rush and take your time. If you fall, don’t be afraid. Dad will follow you .

Fortunately, An Ning didn't fall once, and she quickly learned how to ride. On the day she was officially on the road, on the road outside her community, Lu Nan told her to give way to people and cars, and not to ride too fast. Hold the handlebars with both hands, get down and walk when there are many people and vehicles, and everything must be safe.

An Ning nodded and nodded again, keeping all these firmly in her heart.

Under the cover of twilight, there were too many people and their hands were mixed. While walking, An Ning was suddenly bumped by a person rushing from behind. A figure hit her hard again.

The man was still shouting: "Catch the thief——"

The crowd became agitated all of a sudden, and some people chased after them. Most people talked a lot, looking through their packages, for fear that they would be patronized by thieves.

No one noticed that the little girl who was pushing the bicycle was bumped twice, and she was frowning her thin eyebrows, breathing in a low voice.

The foot seems to be sprained.

An Ning took a few steps tentatively, she gasped in pain, her eye circles couldn't help but turn red.It's still far away from home, and she doesn't want to bother her parents if she asks her parents to pick them up, since they are tired after working all day.

And it's hard to guarantee that they won't let her take a part-time job. After all, when she said that she was going to work, her father had always opposed her. Although her mother agreed, after she worked for a few days, her mother also felt distressed.

What should I do?

The sisters and uncles in the store should all be gone, who can I turn to for help now?

The little girl looked at her phone helplessly, and one of the few contacts was clicked.

The author has something to say:

An Ning's diary: Since there is a fate to meet again, then I will take the initiative to go forward and create a fate by myself. Is it a fate?However, I still don't want to give up so easily, at least work hard, right?An Ning, you have to be brave, if you get rejected, go away, okay?
