As soon as she saw Li Changke, Qu Manman became alert.
Trying hard to act like a child, she hugged Lin Hongxian's neck and acted like a spoiled child:
"Grandpa, I want to play with bubbles. Please play with me later."
Lin Hongxian had no choice but to say, "Okay, grandpa will play with the adorable Manman later."
Qu Manman: "Well, I'll go make some bubble water first."
After saying that, she couldn't wait to get off Lin Hongxian without even looking at Li Changke.
I went to the back of the bookstore and found that the original restaurant-style kitchen was still preserved.
A washbasin is installed in the bathroom.
Qu Manman was making bubble water with soap while listening to the noise outside.
Then Lin Hongxian asked, "Chang Ke, why are you here? Aren't you having class now?"
"Grandpa Lin——"
Li Changke's gaze followed Qu Manman's figure as she disappeared behind.
Then he replied, "I followed my teacher to the county middle school to participate in the subject competition, and I brought back some supplementary teaching materials for my classmates."
"I heard that Grandpa has it here, so I came to take a look."
"Okay, there are so many. Grandpa will help you choose."
"You are in junior high school. The junior high school information is here..."
Lin Hongxian said this and took Li Changke to choose teaching materials.
Qu Manman stayed in the bathroom for a while, but didn't dare stay too long to make Lin Hongxian worry.
I simply went out with the bubble water, took a discarded pen refill and stood at the door of the bookstore blowing bubbles.
Strings of bubbles floated out, attracting the attention of passing students.
Some students who knew Qu Manman also greeted her: "Manman is here to blow bubbles again! So cute!"
As they spoke, one of them reached out and pulled her pigtails, and the other touched her face.
This made Qu Manman giggle and shout, "Sister, sister, play with me."
"Okay, I'll blow a big one for you to see..."
"Sister, you're so great, so amazing..."
There were actually girls who stayed and blew bubbles with Qu Manman.
Listening to the little girl's cheerful voice, Li Changke selected a book and came out.
He couldn't help but look at Qu Manman a few more times, and subconsciously walked to her side.
He asked, "Mianman, do you still remember me?"
Qu Manman stopped and immediately hid behind the girl.
She looked at him warily, then shook her head.
"My name is Li Changke. You can call me Brother Li from now on."
I clearly believe that Qu Manman in front of me is just a child, and there is no point in saying these things to her.
Maybe she forgot it after she said it.
Li Changke still couldn't help but want to introduce himself to Qu Manman.
Qu Manman looked at Li Changke and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: [What on earth is Li Changke trying to do! ]
Why does he have to get close to me?
He was not sure whether he could change Li Changke's fate, and was afraid that the other party would really collude with Qu Yingying to take over his family's property in the future.
Qu Manman now just wants to stay away from the other person.
She shook her head and replied word by word: "But, I don't know you."
Li Changke: "Yes, I have. I went to your house a long time ago. But you were still young at that time, so you may not remember me. It doesn't matter——"
At this point he smiled slightly: "You will know me from now on."
Qu Manman bit her lip and said nothing.
Now thirteen-year-old Li Changke is over 1.7 meters tall.
He is tall and thin, with fair cheeks that give him a slightly aloof temperament, and his eyes are clear and gentle.
A row of snow-white teeth are revealed in a smile...
Her gentle and jade-like appearance made the obvious scar on her left eyebrow appear soft and particularly moving.
Even though he was only wearing an ordinary cloth school uniform at this moment, and the most ordinary cloth shoes with patched soles on his feet.
None of it could hide his extraordinary elegance and handsomeness.
The girl standing in front of Qu Manman soon blushed.
She stammered, "Classmate, which school are you from?"
Li Changke didn't answer the other party. He said to Qu Manman, "Manman, I'll come to play with you again when I have time. Goodbye for today."
【Are you sick? 】
Qu Manman couldn't help but curse in her heart when she heard this.
He was a big boy, and he came to play with her, a little girl.
She didn't feel normal at all.
After Li Changke said that, he waved his hand and left.
He didn't know why he wanted to play with a little kid like Qu Manman.
But I just want to be close to her.
Probably...
He answered himself in his heart: "Maybe it's because she is Grandpa Lin's granddaughter and Uncle Songsheng's daughter."
"They are all good people. They have helped my mother and me so much. I want to express my gratitude. So I want to play with her, right?"
Li Changke's arrival was just a small episode.
He studies in a middle school in the countryside and doesn't have time to come to the county town often.
On the other hand, for Qu Songsheng's family, the business of Manman Catering Management Company is becoming increasingly busy due to the opening of Manman franchise stores.
Except for Qu Xiangdong's girlfriend Yang Miaomiao, everyone else followed him into the company.
We also recruited several more talents from outside.
When Qu Manman saw them having dinner together, Jiang Xiaofang, the owner of the fruit shop, was present.
【My parents have good taste! 】
Qu Manman was delighted to see this and couldn't help but praise her: "He has strong execution skills too. He saw that Jiang Xiaofang was a talent and recruited her."
Jiang Xiaofang also spoke openly: "Manager——" (Qu Songsheng is now the general manager of the company)
"I'm grateful that you think highly of me and don't look down on me, Jiang Xiaofang, for not having any education, no culture, and being a country girl."
"Thank you for hiring me at such a high salary."
"I will definitely try my best to make something to show you."
