During the afternoon, there was no one in the store, so Lin Yi had a little time to rest.Boss Li poured a glass of water for Lin Yi, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile, "There is no one around now, so let's take a good rest, and I have to be busy for dinner."

The water has a faint aroma of barley, and it is barley tea for customers. Lin Yi drank the water slowly, but felt that Boss Li was indeed a good person.He has never worked part-time before, but he also knows that most bosses who pay people will not allow their employees to have a little spare time.

The two chatted casually, and the proprietress came in from outside, holding a little girl with twin ponytails by her hand.This is Boss Li's daughter, Li Lili, who is in the third grade at a nearby elementary school.

Seeing his precious daughter, Boss Li's expression became much gentler. He pulled the little girl to ask about the school affairs, and the little girl found an empty table, spread out the books and started to do homework.

Lin Yi glanced at the little girl, and asked casually, "Why do elementary schools end so early now?"

Boss Li nodded: "Isn't that right? Elementary schools leave early, and their classmates all went to after-school care classes. There are after-school teachers who pick them up after school, and they will check and explain the homework after school. It's only a month. It's five or six hundred." Boss Li paused for a moment, then glanced back at the proprietress who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down at the cash register, and said in a low voice, "You also know that your sister-in-law's condition is not very stable, and there are many days to spend money. , so I have no choice but to bring the child to the store, alas!"

No matter what kind of life, there are probably their difficulties.Lin Yi envied Boss Li for having such a storefront, without having to work hard like them.However, Boss Li is not envious of other people's stable income, family health, and better living conditions for their children.

But envy can't change anything, what can be done is to work harder and harder.

"Father, let's see how to do this question?" Li Lili said suddenly after writing her homework for a while.

Boss Li leaned over to have a look, and shook his head helplessly: "How can I know something like English?" He thought for a while, then turned to look at Lin Yi, "Xiao Lin, you have studied for a few years anyway, you should He is stronger than me, come over and have a look."

Lin Yi leaned over to take a look, and filled in the blanks with the simplest English words. The words were new, and Li Lili didn't remember them, so she subconsciously thought of asking for help.Lin Yi casually took the textbook on the table, turned to the word list, found the word, and explained it to Li Lili on this question, which deepened Li Lili's memory.

Seeing Lin Yi's posture, Boss Li simply pushed him to sit next to Li Lili, and let him watch the little girl finish all the homework, check it, explain the wrong questions, and preview the next day's homework by the way. homework.

Li Lili has been in school for several years, and she always does homework alone after school. Her parents have limited skills, and they don't help with slightly difficult questions. This is the first time that someone has accompanied her. After writing the whole process, and when Lin Yi gave a lecture, he subconsciously brought in his years of study habits, so that the little girl who had been struggling with her studies found a little bit of tricks, and even felt happy doing her homework.

Children in this age group like to cling to older children, what's more, the big brother in front of him is clean and good-looking, and he left the little girl with the impression of being a schoolmaster. Li Lili curled her lips and pulled Lin The translated arm: "Big brother, can you still accompany me to do my homework tomorrow?"

Lin Yi subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Boss Li, who laughed: "I think so, Xiao Lin, anyway, you're not very busy at this time of day, so you can take time to watch Lily do her homework and check it out. I will add 100 yuan to your monthly salary."

Lin Yi did not expect such an unexpected harvest. In fact, for him, tutoring a primary school student with homework is a very easy job, and he enjoys it.After thinking about it, he said, "Brother Li, it's just a matter of passing the lecture to Lili. It's nothing to do anyway, so you don't need to add money."

Boss Li shook his head: "This 100 yuan is not much, but it has something to do with it. You don't have to be polite to me. It's not easy for you as a child to go out by yourself, so just keep it for you."

Lin Yi looked down at the little girl who was staring at her eagerly, and nodded: "That's fine, then I won't be polite to you."

The free time will not be too long, and it will be time for dinner in a blink of an eye, and many customers have come to the store one after another. Lin Yi shuttles around the store, ordering food for them.Many of these customers were students of a high school. They had to study at night and were too late to go home, and they didn't want to eat in the cafeteria, so they found a nearby snack bar and had a bite.

Looking at these guests of similar age, Lin Yi thought that he might be envious, but only envious, because he knew that he could not live the life like them no matter what.

Wear brand-new and comfortable sneakers, eat snacks that cost more than ten yuan for dinner, and hold the latest smartphones in small groups, chatting and laughing.The biggest concern is just how to deal with work when I fail the monthly exam, or why the pretty girl in the class next door can't accept my confession

This kind of life is too good, he will never get it, so he can only envy it.Turning around, I still have to do my own work.

After the guests had dispersed, he cleaned the tables and chairs, swept the floor, and helped Boss Li tidy up the back kitchen by the way, throwing away the kitchen waste, and Lin Yi returned home with the rest of the food.

After eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, the street lights were dim, and there were no pedestrians on the road.Lin Yi was striding forward with the food in his hand, thinking that it would not be long before Luo Qi got off work, he should hurry home and heat up the food.

As he was walking, the horn of an electric car suddenly sounded from behind him. Lin Yi frowned and gave way to the side of the road, but the horn still continued.

Lin Yi raised his brows, turned around, and saw Luo Qi riding on the electric scooter before he had time to attack, his expression suddenly softened: "You had a good day, it ended quite early."

Luo Qi got off the electric car, pushed the car and walked side by side beside him: "I got to know a lot today, and I received a lot more orders, so I ended it early. How are you today?"

Lin Yi shook the disposable lunch box in his hand at him: "The boss is very kind. He asked me to pack the food for dinner, so that I can save money for dinner in the future. By the way, my monthly salary will be paid at the same time. It has increased by 100 yuan."

Luo Qi looked at Lin Yi's happy look, and couldn't help laughing: "You, you get excited when you mention money. I'm asking how your work is, are you tired?"

"Ah, work, I'm not very tired. The boss and the boss's wife are very nice, and they let me help their girls with homework in the afternoon, and give me an extra 100 yuan every month." Lin Yi really thinks so Yes, compared to Luo Qi who has no time to rest all day, he can be said to be relaxed.

Luo Qi's gaze was very gentle: "It's good if you're not tired." He raised his head to look at the dim night, and said slowly, "Then let's go home and eat quickly."

It was originally a remote alley, but because the two of them walked side by side, they didn't feel scared at all.Luo Qi glanced at the people around him, thought for a while, and said, "This alley is too far away, wait for me in the store after get off work tomorrow night, and I'll pick you up and come back together."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Luo Qi, you really don't have to treat me like a child. I used to, when I was in G City, sometimes I finished picking up the junk, and it was dark when I went home. I’ll just take a shortcut home from the alley that doesn’t even have street lights, nothing will happen, and I can’t possibly be afraid.”

"You were not afraid before, because it was useless to be afraid." Luo Qi turned to look at him, "Just treat it as me being afraid. It's better to go home with someone than to go back alone."

In the dim light, Lin Yi could still see Luo Qi's bright eyes, he blinked and said, "That's good."

With someone around, even the way home seems to be shortened.When the two arrived home, Luo Qi went to the car to charge the battery while Lin Yi went to the kitchen to warm up the dishes. There was a clear division of labor.

As soon as Lin Yi turned on the fire, the phone on the other side rang. Before he could make a sound, a big hand reached out to take the spatula from him: "I'm here, go and answer the phone."

Lin Yi blinked at him, and raised the corners of her lips to answer the phone.Apart from Luo Qi, only Fu Man knew his number. He picked up the phone and looked at it.

"Xiao Yi, are you off work?" Fu Man's voice was very gentle, with obvious concern.

Lin Yi nodded, only to realize that the other party couldn't see him at all, and said, "Sister Manman, I'm already home, and I'm preparing hot dishes for dinner." Lin Yi knew that Fu Man was worried about his first day at work and couldn't get used to it. , he took the initiative to tell Fu Man about his work for the day, especially emphasizing the fact that he helped the boss's daughter with her homework and increased her salary.

Fu Man was very relieved on the phone, and said softly: "I feel relieved when you do this." After a pause, he said again, "I have something to call you, Saturday afternoon, see if you can Ask the boss for a vacation, your aunt and uncle will come over and have a meal together."

"Have a meal"

Fu Man's voice was warm like never before: "Bai Wei proposed to me. We plan to meet the parents of both parties and talk about the wedding."
