chapter 7
At the beginning of the lights, customers came one after another, a small wonton shop, chopped meat, made noodles, stuffed, cooked, greeted, washed, and there were many things to do. The family plus two helpers, Sister Wang and Sister Li, were very busy. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I can take a short rest and sit down for dinner.
This is also a rare leisure time for the family.
Bai Meili occupies the TV as usual, watching those crying soap operas; promises to bury her head in a book while eating, but reads idle books that have nothing to do with the college entrance examination to relax her brain cells; Chu Ge and Xu Jun exchange "Earth Unparalleled" The game experience, chatting with great enthusiasm and high spirits.
Suddenly, there was an explosion sound on the TV, which caught Chu Ge's attention. He glanced at it, tsk tsk exclaimed: "Nowadays urban emotional dramas have such a big scene, and they explode at every turn?"
"Well, Chu Er, let me tell you, this series is wonderful. It's called "Me from the Stars". It tells the story of a cultivator who travels to Earth and falls in love with a girl from Earth."
While wiping her tears, Bai Meili sold to Chu Ge, "The immortal cultivator is so powerful that he can blow up a mountain with a wave of his hand, so he has been misunderstood by people, and he has to be separated from the Earth girl. Oh, I said it simply, in fact It's very touching, you should really see it!"
"It's a time-travel drama again?"
Chu Ge pouted, "Why are TV, movies, novels, and games all the same these days, either cultivators and magicians crossed over, or earthlings crossed over, or they awakened superpowers or something, even ninety years old. Grandma is very clear about the concepts of 'immortal cultivator', 'magician', 'supernatural person', and 'resurrection of spiritual energy' - the dragon liver and phoenix marrow can't bear to eat it every day, can't you come up with some fresh themes?"
"Speaking of aura recovery, something happened in our hotel today, which is very funny."
Xu Jun said, "A cook who came to practice like me, got a carp with three eyes, which must be a congenital deformity. As a result, he insisted that the fish was awakened and spoke to him with his third eye— —How could the eyes speak, and I was right next to this kid at the time, why didn’t I hear it? This kid is still pretending to be serious, his face is blue, and he is foaming at the mouth. The brain is not normal."
"Brother, you are wrong. The recovery of spiritual energy is real, including the realm of immortality, the realm of magic and magic, and the awakening of supernatural powers. It's all real."
He promised not to lift his head, and continued to concentrate on reading a science fiction novel called "Resurrection of Reiki - One Hundred Things You Don't Know", chewing rice, and said vaguely, "Our school has conducted three physical examinations this month, including many The items that are completely unnecessary in the college entrance examination physical examination are more stringent than the selection of pilots in the military. They should be screening students for psionic sensitive people, or catching alien spies, right?"
"..."
Chu Ge and Xu Jun looked at each other, Chu Ge scratched his head, "Promise, you're telling a bad joke again, how do you know it's true, what your teacher said?"
"It's not a cold joke, and it doesn't need the teacher to say it."
Xu Nuo tilted his head and recalled, "I have known the fact about the existence of extraterrestrial carbon-based intelligent life in the second grade of elementary school - I have told you a hundred times since I was a child."
"Well, we're not on the same channel as you."
Chu Ge readily admitted, "You are playing the piano to a cow by saying those strange things all day long."
"Oh."
The female high school student pursed her lower lip, blew away a strand of blue silk hanging from her forehead, continued to eat and read, ignoring these "bulls".
"However, it would be great if there was a 'resurrection of spiritual energy'."
Xu Jun was so excited that every pimple on his face glistened, "If I awaken my superpowers, ha, I can soar to the sky, set foot on the pinnacle of life, earn money that will last a few lifetimes, and let the whole family enjoy it. Live a good life - at least, we can buy a store of our own, and open a wonton shop if we want,
If you want to open a dumpling restaurant, you can open a dumpling restaurant, and you will no longer have to suffer from the landlord's bird's anger! "
"That's right, we'll buy the department store, dismantle all the shops, open up the upper and lower seven floors, and open the world's largest 'sister wonton shop'."
Chu Ge is also gearing up, "Aunt Bai, do you think it's beautiful?"
No way, although he is a little more mature than Xu Jun, he is really only "a little". After all, he is a big boy in his twenties. Who doesn't want to become famous overnight, who doesn't want to soar into the sky, who hasn't imagined awakening The unique super power that makes your name resound in the sky and the light shines on the earth?
Not to mention impossible, being young means everything is possible, it means infinite splendor, and there is an incomparably vast unknown world ahead waiting for them to conquer.
Today, when the "Nirvana Era" has just begun, Chu Ge, Xu Jun, and the entire earth seem to have ushered in the most beautiful new era.
...
In the dead of night, Chu Ge lay in the small attic above the wonton shop, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Tomorrow weekend, he doesn't need to go back to school, he plans to stay in the shop to help, just to overcome it here.
With a lot of bills tucked in his waist, he slept comfortably on the folded camp bed.
Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, I still couldn't help laughing.
This feeling of earning money by working hard on your own, with a big wave of your hand, and using the money to help your family solve the problem is really cool!
On the wall beside the bed, there is a photo of my mother, Aunt Bai, myself, the Xu family brothers and sisters, which is a special "family portrait".
This is the only time the two sisters went on a trip after Aunt Bai's jerk husband finally died.
The photos are sunny, the scenery is pleasant, and everyone is smiling.
"Mom—"
Chu Ge looked at the photos and recalled the bits and pieces of that trip, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, but his nasal cavity was a little sore, "I still remember that before you left, I was the most worried about me, I always felt that there was no you. Take care, my life must be a mess, I can't eat enough, and I can't wear warm clothes.
"What else are you talking about, it's you who dragged me down, without this disease, I wouldn't go out to work three jobs for medical expenses, delayed my studies, failed to get into a good school, and even mortgaged my house, making it impossible for me Home can be returned.
"As a result, you see, I'm not doing well, I'm going to work soon, I can make money, and I can support this family.
"What about the Vocational and Technical College, this is just my starting point, not my end point! I must get a B-level license this year, an A-level license within three years, and the legendary S-level within ten years. License, qualified to manipulate thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons of steel behemoths, become a 'steel knight' on their own!
"At that time, I will be able to buy back our small house, and then buy a large villa with three floors up and down. I will sleep in the small house in the first half of the night and sleep in the big villa in the second half of the night. It's cool to think about.
"Mom, you are in the spirit of the sky, take a good look, I will definitely prove it to everyone, you gave birth to the most outstanding son, you have never dragged me down, but sent me on a radiant path, and you The sister you care about the most is this wonton shop, and I will definitely protect it on your behalf!"
In the darkness, the big boy stretched out his fist and waved it hard, looking very firm.
Then he was discouraged, sat up from the bed, crossed his knees, had a bitter face, folded his hands, and repeated: "But, Mom, the B-level license is really difficult to test, and very few fresh students can take the test at once. Come out, you must bless me to pass - I have already boasted in front of everyone, if I fail the test, and I still have a family in the class, I will lose my face, mother bless, mother bless!"
