Chapter 358 The Only Person Who Can Make Her Move Forward
There are still two days until New Year's Eve, and today is the 28th day of the lunar calendar.
Fu Qianzhu was guarding the snack shop outside Fengyuan. The snacks on the shelves were neatly arranged, and even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder would give a thumbs up and praise it.
There are fewer guests in recent days, but there are still some. Moreover, most of the guests who come buy a lot of snacks. After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the family needs to prepare more snacks to entertain the children.
She looked quietly at the book in front of her, and from time to time she reached out to touch the muscles on her shoulders and back, comparing them with the muscle distribution in the book.
Hearing a "ding-ling" sound, Fu Qianzhu said, "Welcome."
When he looked up, he saw his second uncle Fu Yong.
"Are you still reluctant to close the shop?" Fu Yong smiled helplessly, picked up a bag of snacks, opened it, and threw two into his mouth.
Seeing his second uncle's casual and cynical look, Fu Qianzhu asked, "Doesn't the gold shop need any help today?"
Fu Yong nodded and said, "The gold shop is closed for the holiday. Huaguo Gold next door and Fengxiang Jewelry across the street are so happy! They won't close until the afternoon of New Year's Eve."
Fu Qianzhu said, "Why don't you come with me to guard the snack shop? It's a bit troublesome to guard it alone."
Fu Yong said, "Do you really have to work so hard? Boss Zeng has already gone home!"
Fu Qianzhu said: "I just want peace of mind."
Fu Yong sat down helplessly, shook his head, and said, "How am I going to spend my 30th birthday?"
Fu Qianzhu said, "Buy a fish, a chicken, and some meat, and then live in the house you rented. For us, it doesn't matter where we live."
Fu Yongran was a little choked by his niece's words.
"I asked my boss to help sell the house in our hometown." Fu Qianzhu said.
"Just sell it." Fu Yong said softly.
Baishui Town is a sad place for Fu Qianzhu. She doesn't want to go back there, and Fu Yong can understand that.
Fu Yong asked, "Will you stay at my place today? There shouldn't be many people in the school. It's not safe for you to stay in the dormitory alone."
Fu Qianzhu said, "Don't worry about me. I'll go back to the dormitory and open the shop the next day. Well, we'll open the shop for one more day tomorrow, and then I'll stay at your place for a few days to celebrate the New Year."
For her at this moment, the New Year seemed like a burden. She just wanted to get over it as quickly as possible and continue to devote herself to her busy work.
Everyone in the snack shop has a break, and Fu Qianzhu of course does too, but she never takes the initiative to rest.
Unless your body really can't take it anymore, then you should give yourself a day off.
Fu Yong looked at Fu Qianzhu with a worried look in his eyes and said, "We're not so short of money right now. I get a good salary at the gold shop, and I also get a year-end bonus. If you want to continue studying for the postgraduate entrance exam, I can support you."
"I won't take the postgraduate entrance examination. It's meaningless to me. Instead of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, I might as well spend more time getting more certificates." Fu Qianzhu smiled calmly.
Fu Yong said, "Okay, it's getting late today. You should close the shop early and go back to rest. Tomorrow, I will help you open the shop. The day after tomorrow morning, we will go shopping together and then cook the New Year's Eve dinner."
Fu Qianzhu nodded and was about to say something when the phone rang. Seeing that it was Zeng Wenjie calling, he answered the call decisively.
"Boss." Fu Qianzhu called respectfully.
"Is the money-loving senior sister open for business again today?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"..." Fu Qianzhu was stunned by this name, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you just go to bed early? Why do you have to open the shop? There aren't many customers!"
Fu Qianzhu said, "I feel at peace when I'm running the snack shop. Otherwise, I'd be prone to random thoughts!"
It is said that people miss their families more during the holidays. The atmosphere of the New Year is gradually becoming stronger, which makes Fu Qianzhu feel a little bored. Only by staying in the snack shop can she calm her restless heart.
"Well, you buy the food tomorrow morning, and I will come to have a New Year's Eve dinner with you and Uncle Yong in advance." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Huh?!" Fu Qianzhu was surprised when he heard this.
Zeng Wenjie said: "If it's inconvenient, then forget it!"
Fu Qianzhu said hurriedly: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient! Boss, when will you come?"
"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, have dinner and then go home to celebrate the New Year," said Zeng Wenjie.
Fu Qianzhu said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't it a bit uneconomical to come up here specially for a meal?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "What's the connection? I just happened to be in Niu Shou City on business, and I also have some matters to deal with in Fengzhou. Are you really that proud of me?"
Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, my second uncle and I will go buy some groceries, and then we'll cook dinner for you."
This call made her feel surprised, but undoubtedly very happy.
"Yeah, yeah, treat it according to the standards of New Year's Eve dinner, don't give me a perfunctory treatment." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Okay, I'll go back early to rest, and then get up early to buy groceries." Fu Qianzhu said happily.
After chatting for a few words, Fu Qianzhu hung up the phone.
Then, she said to Fu Yong, "Second Uncle, let's close the shop. I'll stay at your place today and go buy groceries tomorrow morning."
Fu Yong couldn't help but ask, "Boss Zeng is coming to dinner tomorrow?"
Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "He said he would have a New Year's Eve dinner with us in advance."
Fu Yong disagreed after hearing this. He certainly didn't think he was so honored that Zeng Wenjie came up to him specially to have an early New Year's Eve dinner!
Fu Yong accompanied Fu Qianzhu to the dormitory to pick up her luggage, and then took her back to her rented apartment to live in.
Early the next morning, Fu Qianzhu got up and took care of things, then urged Fu Yong to accompany her to buy groceries.
Fu Yong wanted to sleep a little longer, but his niece urged him so urgently that he could only smile bitterly and get up to accompany her to buy groceries.
Fu Qianzhu was more energetic today, and was even more enthusiastic when bargaining with the boss.
Fu Yong felt that apart from Zeng Wenjie, it would be difficult for anyone else in this world to help Fu Qianzhu get over her emotional problems and live a positive life.
Fu Qianzhu spent more than a thousand yuan in one go.
She usually tries to spend as little as two yuan on a meal in the school cafeteria, but she didn't feel bad about spending the money today.
"Uncle, please help me. There are a lot of dishes to cook. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it." Fu Qianzhu said.
Fu Yong, who never cooks, squatted in the kitchen, peeling garlic, scraping ginger, washing vegetables, scraping fish scales, and washing large intestines...
Fu Qianzhu hummed a little tune while preparing the dishes.
Fu Yong listened for a long time, but only heard one line of lyrics:
"Your faint smile is like plum jam."
What song is this?
Fu Yong said in his heart that he had never heard of it.
If Zeng Wenjie knew that Fu Qianzhu remembered the lyrics and melody of this sentence he sang out of impulse so clearly, he would be reborn and slap himself hard twice!
Then, Fu Yong was a little jealous.
Fu Qianzhu said, buy a fish, a chicken, and some meat to celebrate the New Year with him.
Then Zeng Wenjie said he was coming and bought chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood and so on. It looked like he was planning to make more than ten dishes.
