Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update, please forgive me!
Lu Shu woke up early in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He started messing around in the kitchen at 6 o'clock, and then he just finished his work at 7 o'clock, and went to school with a lot of things on his back.
Before leaving, he explained to Lu Xiaoyu: "Get up and eat quickly at the table, go to sleep after eating, and review the textbooks given to you carefully. I will come back at night and make random checks. If you run around, I will give you Go back to the orphanage, do you hear me?"
Lu Xiaoyu lay on the bed and covered the quilt without speaking, Lu Shu asked repeatedly: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard... I'll get up and eat later," Lu Xiaoyu said reluctantly.
"It's going to be cold in a while, get up quickly!"
When Lu Xiaoyu got angry, she sat up from the bed in a jerk.
"Negative emotion value from Lu Xiaoyu, +299..."
Lu Shu's eyes lit up. It turns out that waking this little girl up every day can gain negative emotion points? Isn't this a big profit?
The two of them depended on each other for life, and Lu Shu always felt that he should fulfill some duties of discipline. He was also worried that the little girl would develop too many bad habits in the future.
But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with Lu Xiaoyu's gluttony.
Lu Shu went to school early for a reason, he wanted to make money.
The school he went to was just across the street from the yard where he lived. Elementary school, junior high school, and high school were all in one school, called Los Angeles Foreign Language School.
Every morning Lu Shu goes to a stall: selling boiled eggs.
Put an egg into the boiling water, it will be fully cooked in 10 minutes, and it will be runny egg if it is taken out in 8 minutes. The boiled egg must be put into cold water immediately, so that the skin will be easy to peel and the taste will be better.
Lu Shu's boiled eggs are very particular, and with his seasoning, they are surprisingly delicious.
The formula of the ingredients is not uncommon, a small dish, half soy sauce, half vinegar, a few drops of sesame oil.
When he first set up a stall in front of the school last year, only elementary school students would come to try it. An egg was only one yuan and fifty cents, which was not expensive, and even elementary school students could afford it.
Lu Shu probably earns tens of dollars a day, which is barely enough to support his family.
Later, everyone knew that his eggs were delicious. Some people would come to him to buy an egg or two on their way to the breakfast shop for dinner. Some people knew about Lu Shu's work-study program, so they deliberately came to help him. Many people in this street now know that there is an orphan student like him who earns money to pay his tuition.
In other words, there are actually quite a few kind-hearted people in this world, so that Lu Shu's business has always been pretty good.
Today, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, many adults have to go back to work, so he went to the intersection to sell it. This area is an area where breakfast shops gather, and the urban management will not take care of it.
He can still go to school as soon as they are sold out. If he closes the stall earlier, maybe he can put all his things at home before going to school. After all, it is a bit weird to go to school with these guys.
Of course, sometimes you really can’t catch up, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
The students passing by on this road are basically his classmates, which is one of the reasons why everyone gradually stopped calling him.
Class and class are not things that clearly stipulate who will play with whom and who will not play with whom at the beginning. Everyone has a choice to get together.
Millionaires play with millionaires, but it is absolutely impossible to join in the fun with billionaires. Maybe billionaires spend millions of dollars a day.
This example is also suitable for Lu Shu. Nowadays, young people often spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to KTV or theme parks. Lu Shu is really reluctant to spend such money. If he has money, he will try it in the future, but he understands Put off enjoying this truth.
Lu Shu has always felt that 'delayed enjoyment' is a good word.
The students were a little surprised to see him selling boiled eggs at the intersection at the beginning, but Lu Shu didn't feel any pressure in his heart.
Later, on the contrary, the students felt a little embarrassed, and passed by as if they hadn’t seen it. They always felt that it was inappropriate to say hello, and it was inappropriate not to say hello, so they just turned a blind eye.
Slowly, Lu Shu was on the edge.
So when everyone in the class group was discussing who was most likely to awaken, they thought of everyone except Lu Shu.
In front of Lu Shu there are freshly boiled eggs in a basin, a small foldable table with small plates, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil on it, and a stack of small plastic benches next to the table, where customers can eat. It can also be taken away.
"Xiao Shu came out to sell eggs so early," said an old lady passing by with a smile, "Here are two eggs, take them home and feed them to my son. He hasn't woken up yet. If only he could be as diligent as you."
"Okay, two eggs." Lu Shu took off a plastic bag and put two eggs in it for the aunt: "Three yuan."
An egg costs one yuan and five yuan, and the cost of going out for a day is about 50 yuan, and the guarantee is 1,500 yuan a month. If the business is good, it will be more. This is the living expenses of Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu.
They can't spend all of it, and there are 500 monthly rent, 100 utilities, and save some money for tuition, and they have to consider the tuition after Lu Xiaoyu can go to school independently in the future.
In fact, Lu Xiaoyu is also very sensible and greedy, but she seldom asks for food. Even if Lu Shu doesn't buy her snacks, she won't cry.
And Lu Shu would buy some snacks from time to time to amuse Lu Xiaoyu. Every morning, Lu Shu would leave two boiled eggs for Lu Xiaoyu to finish, and Lu Xiaoyu loved it too.
Sometimes when Lu Shu was too weak and fell ill, Lu Xiaoyu would slowly pack up her things and cook eggs to sell by herself. She was familiar with the process of boiling eggs, and she had watched Lu Shu do it for a long time.
Maybe it's because Lu Xiaoyu is too small and too cute. Some people will ask her, where is Lu Shu? As soon as she said that Lu Shu was sick, she was the only one to sell the eggs. She looked pitiful and could sell dozens of eggs in ten minutes...
The two of them are like the snowmen they piled up in the yard, the one big and the one small keep each other warm in the wind-piercing world.
For Lu Shu, being alone is too lonely, really too lonely, when you are so lonely that you want to talk, there is no one around you. So Lu Xiaoyu secretly ran out of the orphanage to find him, and he felt very warm.
For Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu is the only one who cares about her future. No matter how good or bad the food is, she always feels that following Lu Shu, the future will be very interesting.
The two bitter people are actually not suffering much in their hearts. This is the basis for them to continue to survive in this world.
Sometimes Lu Shu thought, this is pretty good, they don't need to have any parents, they can live well by themselves. In the future, if there is still a lottery to draw a practice method, it will be used by Lu Xiaoyu, so that the two of them can continue to be companions.
