Taking advantage of the "movie gate" incident, Lin Xiaoman successfully occupied the moral high ground, quarreled with Ran Fei, and then started a unilateral cold war.
At the beginning, Ran Fei came to explain every day after get off work, but after receiving the cold shoulder from Lin Xiaoman for three consecutive days, this man obviously lost his patience.
On June 5th, Ran Fei came to see Lin Xiaoman for the last time and said directly, "Zhiqiu, what do you mean? I told you it was a misunderstanding. There's nothing between Li Feiyan and me. Why don't you believe it? Are you breaking up with me?"
"You are already in a relationship with Li Feiyan, and you still have the nerve to ask me?" Lin Xiaoman retorted to her righteously. She just ended it early and it did not affect the result.
"I..." He moved his lips to explain, but Ran Fei finally sighed helplessly. His parents had always liked Li Feiyan. Going against their wishes and being with her put a lot of pressure on him, but she just didn't believe him. In that case, why did he insist on it?
"Okay, since you think so, I know it, so let's do it this way. I wish you happiness in the future."
After saying that, Ran Fei walked away somewhat dejectedly.
Obviously, this was a formal announcement of their breakup, and Lin Xiaoman happily made a "yeah" gesture in her heart.
…
Since sending out the first batch of stories, Lin Xiaoman has submitted manuscripts to many newspapers and magazines one after another.
But in this era before express delivery, the speed of mail was truly slow. The mail arrived, the editor read it, and then the payment was made... it was truly slow.
Until June 6, I had not received a single reply, but the college entrance examination had quietly arrived.
On the day before the college entrance examination, during the day, Yao Jianfen sighed because Lin Xiaoman and Ran Fei broke up. In the evening, she began to feel nervous about the exam again.
Yao Jianfen went to the convenience store to call Zhixue and came back more than half an hour later.
"Xiao Qiu, I just called Xiao Xue, and she sounded like... like she was worried about something, like something wasn't right."
"Mom, what's wrong?" In his memory, the two of them went to the provincial capital together tomorrow, and then came back with Zhixue on the 9th.
However, the two of them obviously didn't notice anything wrong and just thought Zhixue was suffering from exam anxiety.
"Well, I can't really put my finger on it. I just feel like Xiaoxue seems to be in a low mood. I just feel like she seems a little disappointed and sad. Well, come to think of it, the college entrance examination is such a big deal. Other children have parents accompanying them and encouraging them, but our Xiaoxue is all alone. She must be feeling lost."
Yao Jianfen was worried, like all parents before the exam, anxious and nervous. After much deliberation, she decided to go. "Xiaoqiu, why don't we just save the money? The college entrance exam only comes once, and our bun shop is open every day, so three days won't hurt. Let's go to the provincial capital to cheer Xiaoxue on!"
"Well, Mom, I think you're right. There's only one chance to take the college entrance exam, so we should go and cheer Xiaoxue up. But we can't both go, and our shop can't close." Knowing the outcome, Lin Xiaoman didn't bother to make this trip, and began to use her eloquence. "Mom, think about it. Everyone came to buy buns with nothing to eat in the morning, but we closed the shop. What did they eat? If we had notified them two days earlier that we were closing, it would have been fine. But you did this on a whim. What should they do? They came to buy buns on an empty stomach, but the shop was closed! They will definitely complain about us in their hearts. If they have complaints, they might even go to Yang's small noodle shop and never come back. Mom, closing the shop suddenly like this will offend people. Our business is good because of our good reputation. Our reputation has been accumulated bit by bit, and we can't lose it."
"Then I'll go alone?" Yao Jianfen asked hesitantly, "How can you handle it all by yourself?"
"How about this, Mom? Go talk to Aunt Lin now and ask her to come and help for two days. We'll pay her some wages."
"This..." Aunt Lin was an honest and hardworking person. Yao Jianfen thought about it and thought it was feasible. "Okay, then I'll take the 9 o'clock bus tomorrow and go after I finish my morning work. I'll ask Aunt Lin to help me for two days and give her 50 yuan. She should be willing to do it."
"Um."
"Then I'll go talk to her." After saying that, Yao Jianfen went out to the Lin family next door.
The next day's routine was to get up early in the morning and be busy. After 8 o'clock in the morning, when the breakfast business boom was over, Yao Jianfen took two sets of clothes and toiletries and hurried to the station.
Because we didn’t prepare many buns today, they were all sold out at noon. We were out of stock, so of course we closed the store.
Riding on a tricycle, Lin Xiaoman went to the market to buy the ingredients needed to make buns the next day, and then returned to the store and began to busy himself with processing the materials.
After just a while, Aunt Lin came to help.
Although it was tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, as a kind person, Aunt Lin politely helped Lin Xiaoman with the work.
When two people work together, the process is faster.
After that, she said she would come over at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and Aunt Lin went back to cook.
In the evening, he casually ate some biscuits to get by, and also "borrowed" some foreign culture. After it got dark, Lin Xiaoman put down his pen, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day was busy as usual.
In the afternoon, Aunt Lin went to the market to buy ingredients. When Lin Xiaoman was concentrating on writing a story, he heard a voice shouting from a distance, "Xiaoqiu!"
Looking up, I saw a person in the distance wearing green clothes that looked very old-fashioned.
Zhou Xiang, a mail deliveryman at the post office.
"Uncle, why are you here? Is there a letter for me?"
