Chapter 94, Xu Pipa's first time. (Subscribe)
Even though it's already late.
But there are still many reporters and internet celebrities gathered at the school gate.
Naturally, they all came for Shen Qiushan.
However, Lin Xiamo's car was parked in the school parking lot, and she drove out of the school without anyone noticing.
"What would you three like to eat?"
After escaping the circle of reporters, Shen Qiushan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked the three children sitting in the back seat.
“Barbecue!”
"hot pot!"
Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao responded almost at the same time, but gave different answers.
"Loquat, you say."
Shen Qiushan asked Xu Pipa again, who remained silent.
"I"
Xu Loquat wanted to say that she could eat anything, but Shen Yanran, who was holding her waist, gently pinched her slender waist and winked at her.
"Let's have a barbecue."
Xu Loquat replied in a low voice.
Shen Yanran smiled brightly: "Two to one!"
"Let's eat barbecue!"
Shen Yixiao pouted depressedly and muttered softly: "Loquat, can you please not get involved with Shen Yanran next time!"
"What do you mean by going along with the crowd?"
Shen Yanran retorted: "We call it great minds think alike."
"No, it should be that women think alike!"
Shen Yixiao leaned his head against the car window and gave up resisting.
As the provincial capital, Sanjiang City has a relatively rich nightlife.
At ten o'clock, most restaurants were still open, so Lin Xiamo parked her car outside a restaurant called "Jiangshan BBQ".
This store has a good reputation and luxurious decoration. Although it is a bit expensive, its main feature is that the products are genuine and the prices are reasonable.
Five people sat down at a table for six.
The three children sat on one side, while Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo sat on the other.
Xu Loquat was unfamiliar with this kind of restaurant environment, and she instinctively shrank her body, with only half of her small hands showing from the sleeves of her school uniform. Shen Yanran asked her to look at the menu and order, but she only glanced at it and was frightened by the prices and dared not open her mouth.
Secret steak 138 yuan
Signature beef ribs 118 yuan
Even ordinary "fat beef" costs 88 yuan!
Looking at the prices on the menu, Shen Yanran was secretly shocked. The prices in this restaurant were twice as expensive as those in ordinary barbecue restaurants.
"Second Aunt, this is too expensive."
Shen Yanran said in a low voice, she instinctively thought that her second aunt would pay for today's midnight snack.
"It's okay, your dad will pay!"
Lin Xiamo replied calmly.
"ah?"
Shen Yanran looked at her father in astonishment. The consumption level of this store was obviously not something her father could afford.
Shen Yixiao said even more exaggeratedly: “Dad, are we going to stop celebrating after this meal?”
Shen Qiushan waved his hand calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, just order whatever you want to eat."
"Your father has made a fortune!"
"ah?"
“Is this true or false?”
Both brother and sister Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao widened their eyes and looked at their father in shock.
"Anyway, the economic situation is much better than before."
"Hurry up and order the food, and go home early after eating!"
Shen Qiushan did not explain in detail, nor did he reveal how much money he earned, for fear that his two children would lose the motivation to strive.
The main feature is “catch the doll”!
Right now, there is still one month left before the college entrance examination. It is the final sprint and we should try not to let them be affected by external factors.
Lin Xiamo knew that Shen Qiushan had made a lot of money, because "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn" was already on sale, with the first order exceeding 50,000!
Although she didn't know how much money she could earn with such results, because she had been following the book and paying attention to the changes in the fan list, she knew that the amount of rewards from readers alone was more than 250,000 or 260,000!
There are five "Silver Alliances" on the fan list!
The total reward amount from the five of them alone was 50,000 yuan.
So, she brought a few people to this barbecue restaurant without any worries.
For Shen Qiushan now, spending 1,000 yuan on a meal is still affordable.
Seeing that their father had said so, Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao did not ask any more questions, but they were still quite restrained when ordering dishes, thinking of saving some money for their father.
One advantage of this kind of high-end restaurant is that it takes better photos. After all the dishes were served, Shen Yanran used her second aunt Lin Xiamo's mobile phone to take two large group photos of the "family of five".
She then took Xu Pipa to take two selfies as “sisters”.
“Chen Yanran, stop taking pictures, I’m almost starving!”
Seeing that Shen Yanran was taking pictures endlessly, Shen Yixiao, who was getting impatient, picked up a piece of meat with an iron tong and put it on the iron net for barbecue.
The oil wrapped around the meat dripped onto the charcoal fire below, and suddenly a flame shot up, followed by the "sizzling" sound of charcoal grilling.
Xu Loquat rested his hand on his chin, watching the flame bloom in an instant, but then quickly go out, just like the legendary Epiphyllum, blooming brilliantly and then quickly withering!
This scene happens countless times every day in this barbecue restaurant, but this is the first time Xu Loquat has seen it!
And naturally, it was also her first time sitting in such a luxuriously decorated hotel.
Her eyes subconsciously fell on Shen Qiushan who was sitting opposite her. Ever since she met this "Uncle Shen", her gloomy life gradually became more colorful.
When I make money in the future, I will also treat Uncle Shen to a sumptuous meal!
Xu Loquat thought silently in her heart, and at this time Shen Qiushan picked up a piece of roasted beef and put it on her plate: "Loquat, you should eat more, you are still too thin!"
"Fat can save your life at critical moments!"
After saying that, Shen Qiushan picked up another piece of meat and put it on Lin Xiamo's plate: "You too, too thin!"
Lin Xiamo is 170cm tall and weighs less than 100kg. Although she has plenty of plumpness, she is still thin overall.
Old men like Shen Qiushan don't like the so-called skinny beauty!
In his opinion, women are more attractive if they are plump.
Too skinny and really uninteresting.
The roasted beef wrapped in the dipping sauce was put into his mouth. Xu Loquat chewed it slowly and carefully, fearing that he would eat it too hastily and miss some of the flavors.
Shen Yixiao and she were exactly at the opposite extreme. He ate the meat with relish and kept exclaiming "delicious"!
"Chen Yixiao, can you eat more like a gentleman? Which girl will like you like this in the future?"
Shen Yanran complained with disgust.
"Sorry, I have a girlfriend~"
Shen Yixiao shrugged proudly, and then smacked his lips provocatively.
"I really don't understand why Luo Yao would fall for you!"
Shen Yanran rolled her eyes.
"I still don't understand why some people say you are the campus belle of our school!"
"I don't know how my eyes became blind!"
The brother and sister quarreled every day.
Even Xu Loquat was used to it, because similar scenes happened almost every day at noon. It would be abnormal if the two didn't say a few words to each other.
We had a very enjoyable barbecue meal.
But the price is also very good, it cost Shen Qiushan 925 yuan!
Converted into income, it is almost the income of two alliance leaders.
The two alliance leaders received one thousand, which was just over nine hundred after tax.
It was already past eleven o'clock when the few people came out of the barbecue restaurant.
Lin Xiamo asked for Xu Pipa's home address and sent her home first.
The advantage of this time is that there is no traffic jam. In just over ten minutes, Lin Xiamo drove to the place Xu Pipa mentioned.
This place is quite close to Sanjiang Senior High School, only about 1.5 kilometers away on foot.
However, this is an urban village blocked by high-rise buildings. The roads are narrow and it is difficult for cars to drive in, especially at this time, when many cars are parked on both sides of the already narrow road.
"I'll just walk in from the front."
Xu Loquat pointed to a small alley not far away.
Lin Xiamo immediately parked the car at the entrance of the alley. She turned her head and looked into the alley. It was pitch black with only a few scattered lights.
"I'll go see you off."
"Having a cigarette."
Shen Qiushan saw the worry in Lin Xiamo's eyes and took the initiative to push the door and get out of the car.
“Uncle Shen, don’t bother, I’m used to walking.”
After getting off the car, Xu Loquat said in a low voice.
"This time is much later than usual."
Shen Qiushan lit a cigarette for himself as he spoke, then walked into the alley first.
Seeing this, Xu Loquat hurriedly followed.
The alley is long and dark, with five- or six-story buildings on both sides, as well as low and dilapidated bungalows.
These buildings were all built by the villagers themselves. The original one-story bungalows were demolished and rebuilt into five-story buildings. Each floor is divided into three or four independent rooms for rent.
There are about a dozen or twenty rooms in a building, and the monthly rent is also a considerable income.
The remaining bungalows are because the villagers have no money to build their own houses.
When they had money and wanted to rebuild it later, the policy no longer allowed it, leading to the current situation.
Along the way, Shen Qiushan just smoked silently and said nothing, while Xu Piwa walked in front of him to lead the way.
After walking about 100 meters in the alley, Xu Loquat turned into an even narrower alley.
Shen Qiushan looked up and saw that this alley was darker than the previous one, with almost no light at all.
Xu Loquat was prepared and took out a small flashlight to illuminate the road under his feet.
Looking at the petite figure walking in front of him, Shen Qiushan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. He thought that life with a pair of children was already very difficult.
However, there are many people who work harder than him!
For example, the little mushroom-head walking in front is Xu Loquat.
“Uncle Shen, I’m here.”
Xu Loquat stopped in front of a dilapidated small bungalow.
This house is actually quite big, probably with three rooms, and a small courtyard. The courtyard wall is made of red bricks and has a lot of moss growing on it.
The red-painted door was slightly ajar and there was no lock on it.
"Well, go in and get some rest."
Shen Qiushan nodded gently.
"See you tomorrow."
Xu Loquat opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
However, as soon as she entered the yard, she stopped and turned to Shen Qiushan and said, “Uncle Shen, thank you.”
“The BBQ is delicious!”
"I'll take you out to eat next time!"
Shen Qiushan smiled and waved his hand: "Go in quickly."
Xu Loquat said "hmm" and walked into the dilapidated small bungalow with a cheerful step.
After a moment, a pale yellow incandescent light came on.
Only then did Shen Qiushan turn around and leave.
In the room.
Xu Piwa skillfully opened his schoolbag, took out two exercise books and placed them on the desk.
Although her desk is a bit old, it can be seen that she must have spent a lot of money to buy it. It is made of solid materials, is spacious, and has all the necessary drawers and bookshelves.
Xu Piwa's original plan was to work on her exercise book, but she keenly discovered that the third drawer under the desk was ajar.
This drawer has a lock, and Xu Pipa usually puts important things in this drawer.
Including her bank card.
An ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she quickly opened the drawer.
Sure enough, the bank card sandwiched in the diary disappeared.
Also gone was the 500 yuan she had saved for living expenses!
Xu Loquat, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly had tears in her eyes. As smart as she was, how could she not know who did this!
The tears rolled around in my eyes for a few times, and finally slid down my cheeks drop by drop...
This is all her belongings!
Right now, Xu Loquat can only hope that her gambling-addicted grandfather has not cracked her bank card password.
If that's the case, then the loss is only 500 yuan!
Once the bank card password is cracked by the gambler grandpa, everything will be over!
Xu Loquat sniffed hard, wiped the tears from his face, sat down at the desk and started doing questions.
She understood a truth at a very young age.
Crying won't solve anything!
It has no other use except to vent emotions.
Lost money will not come back by itself just by shedding a few tears.
A hungry stomach will not be filled by crying loudly. Instead, the more you cry, the hungrier you will get.
Tears are the most useless things.
It is also the most worthless thing!
Even if she cried all day and all night, the world would not change at all.
Grandpa is still that gambler!
Dad is still the madman locked up in the mental hospital!
Wipe away your tears.
Continue doing the questions.
Xu Piwa knew that if he wanted to change his fate, he could only solve all the questions in the exercise book.
Others sleep six hours a day.
Then she sleeps for three hours.
Others do 50 questions every day.
She just did 100 questions!
The stars do not ask the travelers, but time will not let down those who work hard!
Xu Loquat firmly believes that his hard work will eventually pay off!
I don’t know how much time passed.
There was a loud bang in the yard.
Then there was the man's curse: "MD, who put a brick here!"
Xu Loquat put down the ballpoint pen in his hand and walked out of the room angrily.
At this moment, the entrance door was opened from the outside, and a thin old man walked in. It was her grandfather Xu Zhengyi.
Although his name is "Justice", there is no trace of justice in this old Xu.
Seeing Xu Loquat, he asked with a guilty conscience: "Loquat, why are you still not asleep so late?"
"Give me!!"
Xu Loquat stretched out his little hand and glared at Xu Zhengyi fiercely.
"What?"
Xu Zhengyi played dumb.
"bank card!"
Xu Loquat spat out three words angrily.
"I didn't take it!"
"What bank card?"
Xu Zhengyi shook his head, looking very innocent.
"Give me!!"
Xu Loquat didn't waste any time talking to him. He took a step forward and reached his hand directly into his shirt pocket.
The bank card was indeed inside.
"Is the money still there?"
Xu Piwa held the bank card in his hand, his eyes filled with a complex mixture of despair and hope.
