Chapter 44 Don't underestimate the mobile phone pendant
After saying goodbye to Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko, Natsuki quickly disappeared from the classroom again according to her previous practice. Now she should be farther home than before, and even though it was only today, Natsuki still had to go back.
I just need to go home. The gifts I brought for the store manager’s family and the gifts I brought for Mayumi are still at home.
Originally, she wanted to call the store manager while walking, but after thinking about it, Xia Zhi felt that it would be better to explain in person. Although it was quite troublesome to go back and forth, Xia Zhi was not prepared to ruin her sister's dinner.
Eating cold food is already the limit at noon, and you still have to cook in person in the evening.
What's more, there is Aya Tachibana who has already made up her mind to go there for a meal and justifies her behavior. It would not be good to leave her in the store all the time. It would be more convenient to take her back to eat with her, and Xia Zhi doesn't need to prepare two extra
It's dinner time.
It's just that it's too troublesome to go back and forth, and Xia Zhi has no intention of changing the agreed period from 4pm to 8pm. Now that he can go back and cook like this, the store manager has given special permission, so he can add some extra time.
This caused a lot of trouble. There had been many times before that the store manager himself had failed to catch up with his meal opening time, and Xia Zhi felt bad about it.
It would be nice if he lived next to the store, or upstairs, like Kashou Minaduki who transformed the first floor of his residence into a confectionery shop... Xia Zhi touched his chin and suddenly remembered
Xiaoxi.
This little guy is so weird, he is almost becoming a spirit. He might suddenly turn into a cat lady one day. Xia Zhi is looking forward to it without any expectations.
Because he had to hurry up, Xia Zhi did not take the route that passed directly by the old apartment building today. Instead, he chose a route that was relatively close to the school from the new apartment when Xia Zhi took Xia Meng out shopping in the last few days of the holiday.
Road, although overall the distance is still not as close as the old apartment before, but now there is no point in thinking about the old apartment.
It took some time to get downstairs to the apartment. Xia Zhi took the elevator up to his floor and went straight to his apartment. After opening the door with the key, Xia Zhi saw the bright living room and was already standing on the sofa.
Akita. Xia Zhi has already guessed where his sister is now.
"Huh? You came back really early today." Xia Meng raised her head from the sofa and glanced at Xia Zhi. After a while, she withdrew her gaze again: "Did you forget to bring anything?"
"During my trip, I bought gifts for the store manager's family and colleagues. I'll come here to get them first. Mengmeng, are you still reading?" Xia Zhi closed the door and walked into the apartment, while Xia Meng just hummed softly.
There are no words left, I am probably enjoying watching it.
Xia Zhi didn't want to disturb her reading too much, so he went back to his bedroom and found the gifts he had prepared for the store manager and the others yesterday. He put them in a bag and took them out. Xia Zhi was about to go out and rush to the coffee shop when he suddenly noticed
One thing, I patted myself on the head.
"Oh, by the way, Mengmeng, should I cook the rice first and then go over there? In that case, when I come back later, we just need to cook some vegetables and we can eat."
"Well... pretty good." Xia Meng's voice was a little draggy, but she still gave a positive reply. Xia Zhi didn't know whether she listened to him, but this plan that could speed up his cooking time was indeed worth it.
Worth a try.
So Xia Zhi put down the bag in his hand again, walked into the kitchen to wash rice and cook, and set the time... It was great to be able to set the time, thanks to the power of modern technology.
After doing all this, Xia Zhi walked out of the kitchen and picked up the gift placed at the door, ready to put on his shoes and set off.
"Where are you going with your schoolbag?" Xia Meng's faint voice came from the living room behind her. Only then did Xia Zhi notice that she hadn't put down her schoolbag yet. Although it was a handbag,
But Xia Zhi often hangs this thing on his shoulder.
"I almost forgot." Xia Zhi walked to the sofa again and put down his schoolbag. By the way, he also took out the lunch box from the schoolbag and put it in the kitchen. Xia Zhi clapped his hands and said
Finally, I didn’t forget anything: “Then I’ll leave and come back later. I’ll open the door myself. If anything happens to you, Mengmeng, just call me.”
"I've heard this dozens of times." Xia Meng sighed, then raised his head and looked at Xia Zhi: "Go to work quickly."
"Um."
Xia Zhi left the apartment and rushed towards the coffee shop. There was still a shortcut to the store. It didn't take long for Xia Zhi to arrive in front of the coffee shop. It was different from when he came to the store at this time in the past.
It was different. When Xia Zhi put his hand on the door, he had already seen the figure cleaning the studio. There seemed to be no one else except the store manager.
Xia Zhi pushed open the door and entered,
"It's not open yet... Although I want to say this, there are not many customers who will come to the store at this time, so I can basically guess that it is you." The store manager stood there holding a mop.
, looked at Xia Zhi carefully for a while and then nodded: "I guess you haven't forgotten what you want to do, right?"
"I won't forget it." Xia Zhi shrugged, took the bag and walked towards the staff room: "I brought gifts for you, Miss Sayuri and Xiaoyao, remember to bring them with you when you go back later.
go back."
"Okay, okay, let's put it under the counter and come over to help clean it. It seems that I don't have to get up so early to clean it every day."
"You should be more diligent!"
"This is your job." The store manager crossed his hands and looked at Xia Zhi.
"Okay, okay." Xia Zhi also participated in the cleaning work.
After a while, the store door was pushed open again. Xia Zhi Brick went over to see that he was an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Long time no see, Mayumi." Xia Zhi greeted her. Mayumi seemed a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, the surprised expression disappeared: "Long time no see, did you have a good time during the spring break?"
"It's not bad. Apart from spending all the savings, everything else is pretty good."
"Can this be considered pretty good?"
"Don't worry about these little things. I also brought you a gift."
"It's not a cell phone pendant again, is it?" Mayumi looked at Xia Zhi suspiciously, and Xia Zhi suddenly fell silent.
?????
"Is it really true? Although I'm not picky when others give me gifts, but it's too weird that it's always a mobile phone pendant, isn't it?"
"If you consider the financial issues, this is simply a perfect gift! Don't underestimate the mobile phone pendant!"
