Chapter 156
At first, Lu Qi didn't think there was anything good about being a human being.
It was not until he met Xingnuo that he felt human emotions for the first time, like a small spring water slowly flowing through every corner of the body, making Lu Qi suddenly realize that this was emotion.
Looking at Xingnuo's transparent and fair face, Lu Qi stood quietly under the shade of the tree and did not go up to argue anything.
After all, until now, Xingnuo still thinks that Lu Qi is just a little monster who lives a hard life.
Just when Lu Qi turned around and prepared to leave, Xing Nuo ran over.
Xingnuo held Lu Qi's hand, her eyes fell into the bright and dazzling light of the setting sun, golden, and her whole body seemed to be shining.
"Lu Qi, An Zimo and I have explained it to you, don't be sad!"
Lu Qi couldn't help but laugh, and this smile was more real and vivid than ever before.
"Thank you, Xingnuo."
Whenever Lu Qi felt that he was abandoned, Xing Nuo would always run over and hold Lu Qi's hand.
Xingnuo curved her eyes, smiled and said "you're welcome".
"You've helped me a lot! It's getting late, I have to go back, otherwise my father and brother will come looking for me!"
Xing Nuo said this and waved her hand to An Zimo again.
"An Zimo, go back and do your homework!"
An Zimo, who was about to run out to play, stopped abruptly. He sighed and went home to do his homework.
When Xingnuo returned home, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He didn't have time to wipe it with a towel, so he picked up the cup and drank a large glass of water.
Sometimes Shen Baizhou felt that Xingnuo was more dehydrated than himself as a marine creature, and he kept drinking from the cup every day.
After drinking water, Xingnuo quickly finished his dinner, sat down at the desk in high spirits, and wrote down his internship experience.
Xingnuo wrote:
[This week I learned a lot in the company. I started as a small manager and finally became the company's deputy general manager. I also gave the company a lot of useful suggestions...]
Xingnuo used pinyin to replace the words he didn't know how to write. He wrote for a page and a half before he stopped, feeling unsatisfied.
After writing a few hundred words about his experience, Xingnuo took out his locked diary again, unlocked it with the password, and looked through the previous diary.
I used to know even fewer words, and the whole text was filled with various pinyins, like Morse code, which made people dizzy.
Xingnuo turned to a new blank page, took out a pencil, and wrote down the recent events stroke by stroke:
[The internship is over today~ But I found that my brother’s company is weird. Not only that, my family is also weird. 】
But it doesn’t matter, I love them very much. 】
[There are many things I don’t understand yet, but time will give me the answer. 】
Xingnuo closed the diary, locked it with the combination lock, put it back in the drawer, and climbed into bed to sleep.
On a hot summer night, a few stars are twinkling here and there, and Rongcheng, like most cities, is as peaceful as ever.
Xingnuo was in a daze when he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.
"Xingnuo! It's me!" An Zimo's voice came from the door.
Xingnuo got up and rubbed his eyes. He didn't hear the voices of his father and brother. He thought they must have gone to buy breakfast. He walked to the door in his slippers and opened the door for An Zimo.
An Zimo was in excitement when he saw Xingnuo with a dazed face, messy hair, wearing a blue dolphin-pattern pajamas, and red marks on his face from sleeping.
An Zimo chuckled twice in embarrassment, scratched his head, and said:
"I'm here too early, Xingnuo, go wash your face first."
Xingnuo yawned and went to wash up, changed into his favorite sunflower overalls, and came over with some biscuits and water.
"Zimo, come eat. You came to see me so early. Is there something wrong?"
An Zimo hadn't had breakfast yet. When he saw the cookies, he swallowed several of them in one gulp without hesitation.
"Xingnuo, I've thought about what I want to experience in my extracurricular internship!"
An Zimo's mouth was full of food. He stood up incoherently, his face flushed with excitement.
"I'm going to set up a stall and sell things! I'm going to make a lot of money!"
Xingnuo exclaimed, giving sufficient emotional value, and applauded An Zimo.
“Yeah!”
Then, Xingnuo thought about it and asked with his head bent:
"Set up a stall? What are you going to sell?"
An Zimo was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He turned around a few times, looked at the cookies on the plate, and clapped his hands.
“Let’s sell cookies!”
Xingnuo exclaimed, and nodded vigorously:
"Yes, yes! The cookies are delicious!"
An Zimo suddenly felt that he was about to become the richest man in the world by selling biscuits, and build a business empire together with Xingnuo!
"When I make money, I will buy all the car models in the world!"
An Zimo loves collecting various car models. Xingnuo used to have a best-selling version, which was given to An Zimo as a birthday present.
Xingnuo nodded, and then asked another question:
"But I don't know how to make cookies, Zimo, can you?"
The smile on An Zimo's face froze for a moment. He hissed softly and shook his head slowly.
"I, I can't either."
Xingnuo spread out his hands and shrugged: "What should we do then?"
An Zimo thought about it, then hammered his hand and said:
"I've got an idea! We don't have to make cookies. I have a lot of cookies at home that my mom brought back. Can't we just sell them directly?!"
Xingnuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then he felt that nothing was wrong, so he scratched his little face and nodded.
"That's okay."
An Zimo said that wind is rain, and hurried out again, shouting:
"Xingnuo, wait for me at the gate of the community. I'll come over after I get the cookies!"
Xingnuo looked at An Zimo running away, hummed, and without time to eat breakfast, he hurried to the cupboard to get an unused bed sheet.
He saw many aunties setting up stalls would spread a piece of cloth on the ground.
Before Xingnuo walked out with the bed sheet, Chen Wen, who had bought breakfast, came back and asked in confusion:
"Where are we going?"
Xingnuo hugged the bed sheet and said seriously:
"An Zimo said he was going to set up a stall to sell cookies, so I went over to help him."
Shen Wen couldn't help laughing, stuffed the bun into Xingnuo's mouth, and poured him another glass of milk.
"Go after you finish eating. There aren't many people in the morning, so don't be too anxious."
Xingnuo didn’t bother to eat. He put the bun back on the plate and ran out with his short legs.
"No thanks! I'll be back soon after I finish selling!"
Under the scorching morning sun, Xingnuo ran to the gate of the community holding the bed sheet, waiting for An Zimo to come.
Xingnuo looked at the geographical location of the community entrance, and finally occupied an area with a wide view under the shade of a tree and spread the bed sheet on the ground.
Xingnuo carefully straightened the corners of the bed sheet. Before he finished, Lu Qi, who was looking for Xingnuo, came over and helped him tidy up.
"Xingnuo, what are you doing?"
Xingnuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled:
"An Zimo is selling cookies. I'm here to help him. Lu Qi, do you want to help too?"
Lu Qi didn't like An Zimo, but really wanted to participate in Xingnuo's life. After hesitating for a while, he nodded.
"Okay, but I won't help him, I'll help Xingnuo!"
Xingnuo laughed and thought Lu Qi was very funny. He was very serious and his words were also interesting.
"All right!"
As they were talking, An Zimo, who lived in the neighborhood next door, ran out, holding a box of biscuits, panting from exhaustion.
He didn't even bother to ask why Lu Qi was here. He put the box down, put his hands on his hips and took a few deep breaths.
"I'm so tired! I brought all the cookies from home. There must be enough to sell!"
Lu Qi lowered his head, and a blue light couldn't help but flash out in his eyes. Then he thought of something, blinked to extinguish the light, and looked up at An Zimo.
"Your own cookies?"
An Zimo still thought he was quite smart, so he nodded and laughed wildly with his hands on his hips.
"How's it going? My plan to sell cookies is great, isn't it?"
Without waiting for Lu Qi to say anything, An Zimo had already picked up the box and poured all the biscuits onto the bed sheet.
"Okay! Let's start selling cookies!"
An Zimo was not at all stage-shy. He squatted in front of his homemade booth and used his hand as a megaphone to shout:
“Selling cookies!”
Xingnuo also shouted:
"Sweet little cookies!"
After Xingnuo finished shouting, they both turned their heads and looked at Lu Qi, who was standing on the far left, with shining eyes.
Lu Qi's scalp tightened, and he felt his metal skull aching. He opened his mouth, but was forced to shout expressionlessly:
"biscuit."
The voice was calm, without even a hint of joy.
The three little guys squatted in front of the stall, shouting one after another to sell cookies.
The adults who were rushing to work nearby saw the three kids squatting there selling cookies, so they turned around and asked:
"You sell cookies? No adults?"
The office worker looked at the cartoon character bed sheet under the biscuits and uttered "ouch" twice, unable to help laughing.
"Is this taking out the sheets from home? How interesting!"
Xingnuo nodded and pointed to the cookies piled on top.
"It's delicious. Big sister, do you want to join us?"
An Zimo added, "Only, only one dollar!"
He didn't know how much this cookie should sell for, but Xingnuo usually only had one dollar in pocket money, and An Zimo subconsciously felt that one dollar was already a lot!
Seeing Xingnuo's obedient face, the office worker sister couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch it, and said happily:
"Okay, you look cute, I'll buy one!"
The one dollar fare for the bus fare had not been spent yet, so the young lady handed the money to An Zimo, picked up a biscuit and left.
After selling the first biscuit upon opening, Xingnuo’s face flushed with excitement and he clenched his fists, feeling that this business was worth doing!
"Great! We've already sold out and it's sure to sell out fast!"
An Zimo put the dollar into the cardboard box, clenched his fist and hummed with great energy.
While the two were still immersed in the excitement of making money, Lu Qi next to them had already quickly calculated the cost and price, frowned, and sighed in worry.
That’s pretty good. On average, I lose $3.70 for every biscuit I sell.
An Zimo's mother bought more expensive biscuits. She was afraid that her child would feel uncomfortable after eating them, so she carefully selected the brands.
Now, An Zimo sold them all for one dollar each.
The group of three little children is quite rare. The old men and women passing by couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Seeing Xingnuo shouting with his red little face, his hot forehead covered with sweat, and his little curly hair stuck to his cheeks with sweat, my heart softened.
"This child is quite well behaved. Does he have curly hair?"
"I know, he's a kid from our neighborhood. I'm not exaggerating, he's even been on a variety show, and the director even asked him to record it!"
"Then buy one. It's not easy for children."
