Convenience Store Adventures
It was a rare occasion that Jin Jiaan spent the New Year at home this year, so Song Nian generously bought two full shopping carts of New Year's goods. Fortunately, there were many able-bodied men in the family, so there was no problem with carrying the goods.
When it was time to pay, Song Nian wanted to pay, but Song Shuyang stopped her and said, "I'll pay."
Song Shuyang was about to hand over the payment code when Jin Jiaan stopped him and said, "Let Xiaozhou pay."
Song Shuyang almost fainted. Jin Zhou didn't have a penny now, and it would be terrible if Song Nian found out.
"Oh, I can pay for it. Why are you being so polite? There are so many people waiting in line behind me."
But Jin Jiaan didn't know what was wrong with him, and he insisted, "Xiao Zhou Fu."
Jin Zhou crossed his arms and said coldly, "Dad, why don't you pay?"
The father and son are both richer than each other, yet they are still trying to harm each other.
Song Shuyang was afraid that his secret love affair would be exposed, so he squeezed over and said, "I just got my internship salary, let me be filial to my parents."
Song Nian said, "Okay, then you pay."
Song Shuyang: "Ah? I'm just being polite?"
In the end, Jin Zhou took out the red envelopes from previous years from his pocket and paid in cash.
One of them was carrying two large bags and heading to the car. Before they got home, Song Shuyang had already finished one bag. Song Nian, who was sitting in the front, kept scolding him, "Can you save some for tomorrow? Oh my God, how could you keep such a big rat at home?"
Jin Zhou just blindly indulged him, "Let him eat, Aunt Song. If it's not enough tomorrow, we'll go out and buy more."
Song Shuyang chuckled as he chewed some beef jerky, "Mom, I never gain weight no matter how much I eat. Are you jealous?"
Song Nian turned to Jin Zhou and said, "Xiao Zhou, can you find your previous state and help me suppress him?"
Song Shuyang became even more proud and whispered, "He doesn't dare to control me."
No one in this family can do anything to him anymore. He wants to ascend the throne! He wants to be emperor!
As a result, Jin Jiaan, who had been driving quietly, suddenly said, "You can't talk to your mother like that!" His tone was quite harsh.
Song Shuyang: “?”
He was completely confused by the lecture.
"Good and evil are balanced in this world. If evil becomes too rampant, a more powerful force of justice will emerge to suppress it," Song Shuyang analyzed the recent family situation to Jin Zhou with an academic attitude. "Now that neither you nor my mother can control me, Uncle Jin has automatically stepped up."
Jin Zhou thought it made sense, nodded, and asked, "When are you going to buy my New Year's goods?"
The so-called New Year’s goods definitely do not refer to the proper New Year’s goods, but...that.
Song Shuyang said angrily: "I didn't say I wouldn't go. Why are you rushing me? The sun hasn't even set yet."
"Your next sentence is going to be 'If you keep pushing me, I won't go.'" Jin Zhou looked at him leisurely.
Song Shuyang was 100% predicted, and the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out. He could only accept his fate and said: "Wait for me for a while, I will charge my phone."
This excuse could only delay him for an hour at most. If it took any longer, the mobile phone manufacturer would sue him for defamation. With no other options left, he steeled himself, pulled Jin Zhou along, and said, "Let's go!"
Song Nian was frying fish in the kitchen. He poked his head out and asked, "Where are you guys going?"
"Song Shuyang said he was hungry and wanted to buy something to eat."
"Didn't you buy so much yesterday? Dinner is almost ready, so have some snacks to fill your stomach."
Song Shuyang covered his ears and ran out, "I'm going to buy it outside. I don't want to eat what I buy at home."
Song Nian was almost so angry that he chased out with a spoon and beat him up.
He had escaped, and the convenience store was just across the street. Song Shuyang squatted on the roadside and negotiated with Jin Zhou: "Can you buy it and I'll pay? I'm embarrassed..."
Jin Zhou said calmly, "Brother is shy."
Song Shuyang pushed him so hard that he almost fell to the ground. He said angrily, "You're still shameless? You're the thickest-skinned person in the world."
"It's you, you said you were going to buy it this morning, but now you're acting like a coward."
"Who's scared!" Song Shuyang glared with his eyes wide open. "Which eye of yours saw me scared? Do you think I really don't dare? Actually, I was just testing you. I didn't expect you couldn't even pass such a simple test. Let's break up."
Jin Zhou said quietly, "The reason for breaking up: Song Shuyang didn't dare to buy a condom."
"You fucking ..."
Song Shuyang stood up suddenly and said, "Buy it!"
He zipped up his down jacket as high as possible, covered most of his face with a scarf, crossed the street thievingly and slipped into a convenience store, walking around as if nothing had happened.
He picked up a bottle of drink and pretended to look at the ingredient list, but in fact his eyes were glancing at the shelf next to the cash register. His heart was beating faster and faster, and he was so nervous that his hands began to tremble.
The clerk silently held the cash register tightly.
Ten minutes later, Song Shuyang came out with a cup of oden and asked Jin Zhou if he wanted to eat it.
Jin Zhou took a string of fish balls, chewed them, and asked, "If I remember correctly, you went in to buy a condom."
"Why do you keep saying that? Aren't you ashamed?" Song Shuyang took another big bite of beef balls. "I'm just a little hungry. I'm doing manual labor at night and I'm not allowed to eat anything."
He squatted on the side of the road for another ten minutes, even finishing his oden soup. Jin Zhou started to urge him again: "Hurry up and buy it and go home. Aunt Song is waiting for us to eat."
It was already dark, and if he didn't go back, he would definitely be suspected. Song Shuyang gritted his teeth again and rushed to the other side.
Good-looking people are always memorable. The clerk recognized the strange-looking boy at first sight and politely asked him, "Sir, are you looking for something?"
Song Shuyang glanced towards the cashier again and said, "No, no, I'm just browsing."
I don't know what there is to see in such a small place.
The clerk clutched the cash register again.
Ten minutes later, Song Shuyang came out with a sweet potato and asked Jin Zhou if he wanted to eat it.
Jin Zhou took a bite, chewed it, and asked, "If I didn't have an airport, you would have gone in to buy a condom, right?"
Song Shuyang said in a trance: "This scene looks so familiar, and what you said sounds so familiar. It's over, Jin Zhou, we seem to have entered a time-space fold, let's quickly find a way to escape."
Jin Zhou was so angry that he laughed, "I find that you have a very rich imagination when it comes to finding excuses."
"Really? Don't disbelieve it..."
Jin Zhou's legs were numb from squatting. He stood up, twisted his shoulders, and turned him towards the convenience store, threatening him: "If you don't buy it within five minutes, I won't work tonight."
Song Shuyang slammed the sweet potato into his hand fiercely, "Do it or not, it's like someone is begging you to do it!"
Then he ran into the convenience store again.
The clerk saw the strange man for the third time, and his mind was numb. "Um... sir, are you in trouble? We're hiring cashiers for the New Year. If you're really in trouble, you can..."
Song Shuyang blushed and asked, "Can you get me a box of...that?"
"Huh?" She turned around to look at the shelves filled with cigarettes behind her and understood, "We don't sell cigarettes to minors here."
When Song Shuyang returned for the third time, Jin Zhou saw the square box in his pocket and was about to praise him when he pulled out a box of Mushroom Power and threw it to him. Jin Zhou burped and said, "I really can't eat anymore. Please let me go. You are my brother, okay?"
Song Shuyang asked with a depressed look on his face: "How can I tell this to the clerk? I can't say it."
"There's a self-service checkout machine, right? You just take the item, scan the QR code, and then scan the payment code."
“…”
Why didn't he think of it?
This is the fourth time, the clerk is counting silently.
What exactly are you going to do?
This time Song Shuyang was quite quick. He grabbed two things without even looking and ran away. The clerk was about to shout "robbery" when he saw the boy taking the things and scanning the code at the self-service checkout machine.
“…”
Jin Zhou silently looked at the things Song Shuyang bought.
One bottle of lubricant, another bottle of lubricant.
"Are you going to cook with all this oil?"
Song Shuyang slammed into his chest, hugged him and started crying: "I can't do it, Jin Zhou, I'm a coward, let's go back and just be platonic from now on."
Jin Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted his back and coaxed him in a low voice: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll go buy it."
This time it was Song Shuyang's turn to wait by the roadside. Just as he had unleashed the mushroom power, Jin Zhou came back and extended his hand to him, "Let's go."
Song Shuyang's eyes widened. "So fast?"
"Who would go to such lengths like you?" Jin Zhou said with disgust. "That clerk even asked me what was wrong with me, and when he saw what I was holding, he couldn't stop laughing. It's all your fault. You've ruined my life."
Song Shuyang shouted fearlessly: "I think you are enjoying it."
"If you keep yelling, you'll have to buy it from now on." Jin Zhou put his hand on his shoulder and took him back.
Song Shuyang shut his mouth obediently.
