Chapter 12 Family Gathering

Before leaving the store, Jiang Qi left 20 yuan for Old John and asked him to find a small stir-fry restaurant to eat at night. According to the consumption nearby, 20 yuan was enough for Old John to have a braised pork rice bowl and a braised egg.

When Jiang Qi arrived at Jiang Xiaohong's house, everyone was already here. Jiang Xiaohong and her aunt were preparing a big meal in the kitchen. Her uncle and Jiang Xiaokang set up a small table by the window to play chess. Jiang Wanwan was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone. Wen Luo

He is playing the game with revenge.

Jiang Qi was a little surprised to see Wen Luo. He had never seen Wen Luo during family dinners during this period. As the last student in the family to attend evening self-study, Wen Luo usually had lunch and dinner at school.

"No classes tomorrow?" Jiang Qi looked at his phone and saw that it was Tuesday.

"Final exam tomorrow." As soon as Wen Luo raised his head to reply, he was beaten to death by the jungler from the opposite side.

"Wen Luo, we can't play for the last ten minutes. We have exams tomorrow. After dinner, we will go in to review. How old are we to study for snacks?" Jiang Xiaohong walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying braised fish.

, saw Jiang Qi smiling and saying, "Xiao Qi, there is no drink at home. Go to the supermarket at the door and buy some. Tell your brother Xiao Qi what drinks you kids want to drink."

"Brother Jiang Qi, I want to drink ice coke." Wen Luo learned his lesson this time and did not raise his head when speaking.

Jiang Wanwan just hung up the phone, jumped up from the sofa, and said with a treasure-proud look on her face, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Qi knew Jiang Wanwan had something to say as soon as he saw her face.

Sure enough, as soon as she went out, Jiang Wanwan couldn't wait to say: "Brother, I have a big order for you!"

"Oh?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised.

Why did Jiang Wanwan work so hard as a trustee this time?

"Do you remember the roommate I brought yesterday? The tall one."

"Gao Qin?"

"Yes, that's her! She is the president of our school's roller skating club and will be resigning next semester. It's summer vacation soon. Their roller skating club is doing team building, and they are scheduled to write a book in the afternoon and sing K. Gao Qin in the evening.

She is a regular customer of JC Detective Center. She was originally planning to go to JC for team building, but after finishing the book yesterday, she changed her mind. She thought our store is not bad and offers discounts for acquaintances, so she came to us instead."

"Thankfully, Sister Bing bought that new exclusive. I called Gao Qin many times before and she was unwilling to come."

Jiang Qi didn't expect that he would one day steal customers from the city's number one script killing shop. He asked: "When will they form a team and how many people will they have?"

"This Sunday's team building, the number of people has not been determined yet, I will tell you when it is confirmed."

"Why didn't you say anything at my sister-in-law's house just now?"

"That's not because my dad is here. Before I went to Sister Bing's milk tea shop to drink milk tea, he kept talking about me. Let's not talk about this, brother, are the stores still recruiting summer workers?"

"The store is about to close down. Are you going to recruit people?"

"My mother has to ask me to go out and find something to do during the summer vacation. Brother, otherwise, if you have money, you can pay me a salary. If you don't have money, you can't pay me. I'll just stay in the store and eat some snacks and drinks."

"No." Jiang Qi refused on the spot, "You drink endlessly. If you drank 6 bottles of drinks a day like that time at the convenience store before, and your aunt came to your door after drinking, how would I explain it to your parents?

."

"I will definitely not drink too much this time, just one bottle a day!"

"Not even one bottle a day."

"One bottle for two days is enough. My dearest cousin, my mother said that she won't give me living allowance during the summer vacation. This month's living allowance is almost used up. If you don't take me in, I will be so poor that I can't drink anything during the summer vacation."

I can’t afford to drink anymore.”

Faced with Jiang Wanwan's request for free drinks during the summer vacation, Jiang Qi thought about it and felt that it would be good to have a summer job with a relative who didn't have to pay wages, so he nodded and agreed.

When Jiang Qi and Jiang Wanwan returned with the drinks, the food was already on the table, and the whole room was filled with the smell of mutton. Jiang Qi looked at the dining table and thought, "Hey guys, it's a mutton feast."

Lamb stir-fried with green onion, lamb and scorpion hot pot, braised lamb leg, even the soup is mutton soup.

The first three have a lot of spices and sauces, and they smell okay. The mutton soup seems to only have pepper added, and it smells a bit sour.

Wen Luo's mobile phone has been confiscated, and he is sitting at the table with chopsticks ready to go.

As the last dish of stir-fried cabbage was served, Jiang Xiaohong took off her apron and sat down, smiling and saying: "Come on, come on, eat the vegetables. You have been coming to my house to eat mutton these days. It was just the right time to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables this morning.

I met a sheep seller, it was fresh and cheap, so I bought a whole head, Xiao Qi Wanwan, it’s time for you to grow, please eat more!”

Jiang Qi couldn't calculate how many days it would take for the whole family to eat a whole sheep, so he could only eat hard.

While eating, Wen Luo quietly changed places with Jiang Wanwan and sat on the right side of Jiang Qi.

"elder brother."

As soon as this title came out, Jiang Qi knew that Wen Luo wanted to ask for something.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qi swallowed a big mouthful of mutton leg.

"Sister Wanwan told me that I can take my classmates to your place to buy books at a discounted price." Wen Luo whispered.

Hearing that Wen Luo was asking about this Jiang Qi, he felt relieved. He quickly snatched the fat and thin chunks of mutton leg meat from under Jiang Wanwan's chopsticks, and then said: "It's 20 cheaper per person."

Wen Luo suddenly jumped for joy: "We have made an appointment this Saturday afternoon. Brother Jiang Qi, please remember to save a place for us!"

After eating, Wen Luo didn't want to go into the room to review, so he stayed in the living room and listened to Jiang Xiaokang share the latest news in the city.

Perhaps because today's news was really fresh, Jiang Xiaohong rarely urged her son to go back to his room to study, and she listened with great interest.

The amusement parks in the suburbs are closing down.

Jiang Qi heard this news when he graduated from college in his freshman year, but he didn't know if it was true or not.

"I think it's true." Jiang Wanwan said to Jiang Qi and Wen Luo, "My classmates and I went to play during the May Day holiday. There were no people during the May Day holiday, and the facilities were very old. There were no Ferris wheels or roller coasters.

Come on, the sausages and drinks are so expensive, it should have gone out of business long ago.”

"We really need to close it down. If we close it down, there won't be any amusement parks in our city." Wen Luo was a little reluctant.

"That store is too remote. It takes more than 40 minutes to drive there from the city, and the direct bus ride takes two hours. Our city is not big, so it is normal for it to go bankrupt." Jiang Qi analyzed calmly.

With a large amusement park located so far away in a small city, Jiang Qi felt that the owner of this amusement park should have something in common with Jiang Bing.

While they were chatting, Liu Lan called right away.

Six customers came to the store, and they chose the only emotional book in the store, "Mask Club". Liu Lan asked Jiang Qi to hurry over and prepare for the performance. After Jiang Qi hung up the phone, he hurriedly said goodbye to his elders, borrowed his uncle's battery car and rode a small electric donkey.

It's past.

Before entering the store, Jiang Qi smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Old John was mopping the floor. It seemed like orange juice had been splashed on the floor. Jiang Qi accidentally stepped on it and it was sticky.

"It was like this when I came back after dinner." Old John explained, trying to prove that it was not his fault for not cleaning up immediately.

Jiang Qi expressed his understanding and went upstairs to see what was going on. As soon as he walked to the door of the folio room, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, as if someone had spilled beer inside.

Just when Jiang Qi wanted to look inside through the crack in the door that wasn't closed tightly, Liu Lan came out.

Liu Lan closed the door, and Jiang Qi couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Liu Lan looked complicated, "I think it's outrageous."

"Among the six people, one girl was very drunk, and the other five who hadn't drank at all were probably sending her home. As soon as they passed by the entrance of our store, I was squatting in front of the door eating pancakes and fruit, and the drunk girl suddenly started making a scene.

If you have to play with love, you have to play with emotions. Her friends can't hold her back and she can only rely on her. Six girls, fortunately this is not a traditional love story, so there is no problem, otherwise I would be embarrassed for them."

Jiang Qi was also confused: "Can you read the words clearly when you are so drunk?"

"Don't tell me, you can really see clearly. That girl is very involved and the atmosphere is pretty good."

Liu Lan estimated the time and felt that she had to go in. Before going in, she did not forget to tell Jiang Qi: "Please restrain yourself when you play the scumbag next time. I think that girl is broken up in love. She happened to be PUA by the scumbag."

Ben, if you act too vividly, I'm afraid she'll rush up and beat you up."
