That afternoon, Tang Xiaochen was working in the supermarket as usual. After so many days, she gradually let go and didn't think much about what happened that night, just treating it as a game.
She shuttled back and forth between the shelves, counting the things on the shelves and making notes in her notebook. Occasionally, customers would pass by and ask her where the goods were, or ask her to get out of the way. Although Zhang Xiaochen's job was always
It was interrupted, but it was still going on in an orderly manner.
"Hey, did you know? The very old toy store across the street is on fire, and there are many people watching the fire there."
"Is it on fire? I don't know. I haven't walked there in the afternoon. I've been using the air conditioner in this supermarket for a long time."
"I just walked over there, and I just met you when I came in..."
Zhang Xiaochen checked the goods, passed by them and heard the conversation between the two, and then looked at them again. One of the girls looked a little red, as if she had just been exposed to the sun, while the other girl's color looked much normal.
Zhang Xiaochen was a little worried after hearing this, but he was not sure, so he went up to ask.
"Classmates, is the toy store on fire you are talking about the one across the street approved by the snack wholesale department?"
"Yes, that shop owner is an old man and has a good temper."
Zhang Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and he felt that something was very bad. Didn't this describe the family downstairs in his house? Why did Uncle Zhou's toy store catch on fire?
Various questions were running through her mind, and then she hurriedly thanked the two girls and walked out quickly. The floor was slippery, and she really didn't dare to run for fear of falling.
When she reached the checkout counter, she put down her notebook and called out to the sister at the checkout counter.
"Something unexpected happened at home. Please help me ask my boss for a leave. I'll leave first."
Siyu in front of the counter originally thought that Zhang Xiaochen had checked all the goods and walked out so quickly. Unexpectedly, she was still in such a hurry because she had something to do at home. She had already run away before she could even ask what was going on.
After going out, she also wondered, didn't she also have a mobile phone? Why not just call the boss? Then Siyu picked up the landline next to the counter and dialed a series of familiar numbers. But Siyu didn't even know that
I don't know, Zhang Xiaochen has always left his mobile phone at home these days and never took it out.
After Zhang Xiaochen ran out of the supermarket, she ran straight to her home. As a result, she heard a loud noise from a long way away. She rushed forward regardless.
Many people passing by were watching, but Uncle Zhou was crying on the ground, with his family members comforting him and stopping him.
Everyone present formed a large circle and stood in the safety zone, away from the fire scene. Although Zhang Xiaochen was far away from the burning toy store, the air still gave people a strong feeling of heat.
Zhang Xiaochen could also feel the heat on her face, and the air around her became so hot. She felt as if she was in a steamer at the moment. She was already covered in sweat. However, she ignored her own embarrassment and walked through the crowd.
, I wanted to look for that familiar figure, but I never found that figure.
