After leaving the bookstore, everyone felt a little uneasy.
Wang Zhaozhao reminded Chen Pei, "You said you'd take us to eat ice cream. Which street is it on?"
How can I give up eating ice cream just because I feel disgusted by a stranger?
Chen Pei immediately became excited. "Not far from here, there's a new place that opened during the summer vacation. It's called Minmin Ice House. It's very popular."
After turning a corner and walking for a while, the sharp-eyed Xu Yanni was the first to see the sign of "Minmin Ice House".
The store was full, and some people were standing by waiting.
"You have to queue up." Chen Pei said helplessly.
Today is Saturday and schools are closed in the afternoon. Most of the people in the store right now are students like them.
"That's fine. We can just take a look at what's available and choose in advance."
In addition to smoothies and shaved ice, there are also bread, egg tarts and some snacks.
There was a cardboard on the counter with the sign: Red Bean Ice + Pineapple Bun.
Wang Zhaozhao suggested, "We want different ones, let's exchange them."
Xu Yanni's eyes lit up, "Okay, then you order red bean ice and pineapple buns, and I'll order double skin milk and egg tarts."
"Then I'll order a coconut ice cream and an egg biscuit." Chen Pei said with a giggle.
“…”
After waiting in line for about a quarter of an hour, when it was almost their turn, an empty round table appeared and the group could sit down by squeezing together.
After we took our order and sat for a while, our order was served.
"Wow... It's such a hot day, and having a sip of something cool and refreshing makes life feel wonderful all of a sudden."
After trying it eagerly, Fang Wenjun was the first to express his gratitude.
The others agreed deeply and nodded repeatedly.
The next step is to leisurely enjoy the delicious food, and only when we have almost finished eating can we start talking again.
What I'm talking about is naturally what happened in the bookstore.
"Do you think we can still go to that store to buy study materials in the future?" Qin Hongjun suddenly asked worriedly.
"What do you mean? Are you afraid that Cao Huaming will remember us and won't let us into the bookstore anymore?" Chu Honghua asked back.
“…”
Qin Hongjun tacitly acknowledged with silence that there were only him and Wang Zhaozhao here, both of whom came from a remote mountain village.
However, he also knew that his situation was very different from Wang Zhaozhao's, and it couldn't be said who was more miserable, just in different ways.
However, over the past year, their family's living conditions have greatly improved, and Wang Zhaozhao's situation is even better than his.
It's just that her mother doesn't want her and her father doesn't care about her, but her grandparents are very nice. She lives with her uncle and aunt, and they have jobs in the county town.
Now he has seen the world, and the inferiority complex he had before due to his origin and family is long gone.
So he was worried, but not afraid.
"How about we report it?" Zhao Cui's eyes lit up.
“…”
Suddenly the atmosphere calmed down.
Song Jiangli glanced at Wang Zhaozhao and the others. "I think it's okay. That Cao Xiaohua acted bossy the moment she entered the store. Judging from the cautious attitude of the staff towards her, it's not the first time she's acted like this."
"But where should we report it?" Fang Wenjun raised his hand.
Ah, this... ?
Several people looked at each other, and Wang Zhaozhao raised his eyes. "Is there a mayor's mailbox or something like that?"
Yes!
Everyone became excited immediately.
They all have paper and pen, so writing a letter is no problem for them. They just need an envelope...
"Should the envelope be sealed?" Wang Zhaozhao asked a relatively simple question.
Xu Yanni blinked, "I'm more curious, can the letter reach the mayor?"
Ah, this... ?
"Bang!"
Chen Pei suddenly slammed his palm on the table, and his soft face suddenly became frowned and angry. "No matter whether we can get there or not, we must at least write it first."
Everyone was startled by her, including the other guests in the ice room.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others suddenly remembered what this person... had said before?
Those onlookers expressed their curiosity. What would happen if the Education Bureau and city leaders knew that Cao Xiaohua said that Wang Zhaozhao didn't need to study and should get married early? Chen Pei said that she would help convey this matter.
Wang Zhaozhao was about to ask Chen Pei to give her the letter, but she heard someone next to them ask, "Little sister, what happened? Can you tell us?"
He was a young man with a flat head, and looked two or three years older than Wang Zhaozhao and the others.
With him were one man and three women.
"Tell us what's going on first, maybe we can help you." The boy next to the flat-headed boy added with a smile.
“…”
Is this an act of helping others out of injustice, or is it just pure gossip?
However, it was not something that could not be said. Qin Hongjun and his companions first saw that Wang Zhaozhao and the other three "parties involved" had no objection, so they told the story again.
However, there are some reservations.
"That's too much!" After hearing this, the smiling boy slammed the table in anger. "But the police are pretty fair. Cao Huaming is the bookstore manager, so he's no fool. How could he be so honest?"
He doesn't believe it.
"Who knows? Maybe he was careless, or maybe he did it on purpose." The boy with a flat head said lightly.
Wang Zhaozhao and others: “……!”
Why does it sound like these people know Cao Huaming?
Thinking of this, Xu Yanni asked directly.
"Oh, my home is in the same alley as the Cao family's. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Fei."
The boy named Lu Fei was very familiar with the group and introduced his companions. "My brother's surname is Lian, and his given name is Tai. These three girls are our classmates."
Wang Zhaozhao looked at the boy with the flat head, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Lian Tai? I know an uncle named Lian Hong. I think you two look a bit alike."
Hearing this, Lian Tai raised his eyebrows.
Lu Fei clapped his hands, "What a coincidence! It turns out we are all acquaintances. Little sister, I haven't seen you before. How do you know Uncle Lian Hong? Oh, Lian Tai is Uncle Lian Hong's nephew."
Wang Zhaozhao looked at Lu Fei and asked casually, "Are you the son of the owner of Fufenglou? I think you look a bit like him."
"Oh..." Lu Fei was shocked. "What? Little sister, you still know my old man?"
"I don't know him." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head. "In fact, I've only seen him once. When I came to the city with my family, I met Uncle Lian Hong. He took us to eat at Fufenglou, which had just opened that day.
I remember the owner of Fufenglou came over to say hello, and you look very similar to him."
"What you said sounds a bit magical. We met a long time ago. How can you tell that I look like him when you see me again?" Lu Fei didn't believe it.
His Fufenglou opened several months ago.
Lian Tai glanced at him and said, "You don't even know who the little girl is. There's a Chinese language proficiency competition for junior high school students from six provinces this summer. It's not only published in the newspaper, but it's also on TV. Don't you know?"
"What do you mean?"
"The first place team goes to our Lu Province. Yes... There are five people on the team, four of whom are sitting here. This little girl is the individual scoring champion, and the one next to her is the third place winner."
“Oh my god!”
“…”
