Su Chenhao listened to his rambling on until 10 p.m. when Lu's father came to the scene.
Seeing that he was so drunk that he was almost unconscious, he begged Su Chenhao for help and together they took him home.
Then they moved the tables, chairs, and benches back upstairs. After all that work, it was past 11 o'clock by the time they finished.
Su Chenhao and Qiao Xiaoni returned upstairs and sat down on the recliners. They hadn't expected to be so tired today.
Qiao Xiaoni rested for a while, then emptied the money from her bag, counting the large amount on the table with increasing excitement. She'd been spending money like water these past few days, only seeing cash return at night after selling things.
Su Chenhao went to the kitchen and heated up two cups of milk, then put them on the table to cool. After thinking about it, he decided that this was not a good time to eat anything too greasy.
I went back to the kitchen and cooked a pot of noodles. I scooped them out and put them in two bowls, then placed the prepared poached eggs and greens on top. It looked very appetizing.
Qiao Xiaoni had gambled away all her money. She didn't realize until she counted that her earnings today were double yesterday's. After deducting costs, she had earned over 40 yuan in just a few hours. If she could earn this for a month, wouldn't that be over a thousand?
Su Chenhao walked over with the cup and placed it in her hand, "Drink some milk, and then have a bowl of noodles later."
Qiao Xiaoni said excitedly, "Guess how much money we made today?"
"Around 40 yuan. Do you think I wouldn't know how much I make from the skewers I grill?" Su Chenhao replied with a smile. "Next time you pack things up, count them and you'll roughly know how much you've earned."
Qiao Xiaoni suddenly felt incredibly stupid; how come she hadn't thought of this method?
"I'm so stupid. If I calculated like you, it wouldn't have taken me so long."
"Counting money can make people happy, and I saw you were quite cheerful, so I didn't want to disturb you. Go wash your hands and eat, and let's go to bed early; you have to go to school tomorrow."
"Didn't Teacher Tian say that we're being divided into classes tomorrow? We can't miss this." Su Chenhao urged again.
Qiao Xiaoni casually tossed her bag behind the chair, where it landed on the small table. Then she hurriedly changed into her pajamas, went to the bathroom to wash her hands and count her hair before returning to the table to eat her noodles.
She drinks all the milk before eating noodles, believing that life should have a sense of ritual. She thinks that it's not just about making money, but also about knowing how to enjoy life.
Su Chenhao thought that barbecue was very profitable, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered the sausages that his family had made.
"Honey, let's buy more meat tomorrow and stock up on some. I plan to sell it to customers when we're selling barbecue."
“No problem, sausages are easy to make, as long as you buy the right meat. Let’s make 20 jin right now and see how it goes.” Qiao Xiaoni said, then slurped up a mouthful of noodles and instantly felt very satisfied.
Su Chenhao raised his hand and wiped the grease from her mouth: "Eat slowly, I'll cook you another bowl if you're not full."
"That's enough. Don't eat too much at night, or you won't be able to sleep." Qiao Xiaoni picked up her rice bowl and took another sip of soup. It felt so good to be full.
By the time we finished eating, it was already midnight, which meant I wouldn't get eight hours of sleep.
After Su Chenhao and Qiao Xiaoni lay down, they stopped whispering and instead closed their eyes to sleep.
I was exhausted after a long day and fell asleep very quickly.
Silently standing at the door watching them, the young prince had made so many sacrifices for this woman.
This must be the love that people always talk about, right? Thinking of how His Highness used to be so otherworldly, perhaps he is most real now.
A sense of gratitude arose in his heart for Qiao Xiaoni, because she had made His Highness a person of flesh and blood.
