After getting on with the enemy

All the lights on the first floor of Zhou’s house were extinguished. Soon, the room on the east side of the second floor was lit up, and it was dark again two or three minutes later.Zhou Xiyun left the study and went back upstairs lightly.

The morning after dawn was foggy, thick white fell, it was cool and humid, and the surrounding area was covered with a vast expanse of whiteness. When the door was opened early in the morning, even a few meters away, the sight could not be seen clearly. Not one.

Because she was too sleepy and tired at night, she didn't set the alarm clock, so Qiao Yan didn't wake up until almost nine o'clock.

At that time, Zhou's mother and daughter had gone out, and Zhou Huiwentian drove back to the company while it was still dark. He didn't know that Qiao Yan was still staying at home, and Zhou Xiyun also got up around eight o'clock, washed up and went out.

No one woke Qiao Yan up, not even a knock on the door.

The curtains in the study are tightly closed, still providing a double-layer shading effect.Qiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. At first, he didn't realize that it was already the next day, and he thought it was night. He sat up and was about to go home to sleep. He touched his phone and looked at it, only to realize that it was time.

Put on your shoes and go to the living room, the door is ajar, there are freshly made sandwiches and a box of milk on the table, and a piece of paper is pasted on the box.

The sandwiches were left by Zhou Xiyun for her, and two were prepared in total, and Zhou Xiyun took the other away.

Qiao Yan scratched his frizzy hair, took a look at the sticker, then looked around for a week, found a pen on the cabinet, and replied "Thank you".

People still have a heart, so they can't take it away, and they still have to squeak if they take it.

The house on the opposite side was also deserted, Xu Ziqing also went to work, and grandma went for a walk outside on crutches, exercising in the morning.

Ms. Xu didn't leave any food for her daughter, and she didn't see Qiao Yan in person early in the morning. She mistakenly thought that she had returned to Kaffa, so she didn't pay much attention.

Qiao Yan changed his outfit again, and Jing ordered to go out again.

At this time, the fog outside had dissipated, the treetops and branches were all wet, the dew was heavy, and the sun in the sky was shining brightly and slantingly hanging on the east side.

On Kafa's side, Rong Yin didn't plan to call to remind him, so he guessed that Qiao Yan must have overslept without asking, otherwise he would notify him via WeChat last night if something happened.

Qiao Yan once again made a voice call to explain to Rong Yin, but she never mentioned the detailed reason. It would be too embarrassing. She actually slept in someone else's study all night, and she slept so soundly... Fortunately, it was the study. Zhou Xiyun's room, that's okay.

Rong Yin asked Qiao Yan to go to West Street to pick up the goods halfway, and said: "The store is empty so far, so there is no rush. So far, only two online orders have been accepted, and the business in the morning is not good."

Today is definitely the bleakest day in recent times. Usually, a few orders can be received within an hour or so after the opening of business. There are two online orders booked the night before, but there are no orders this morning.

Moreover, the two cups sold earlier were all low-priced products, and the price of one order was only ten or twenty. After sharing with the platform and excluding raw materials and other costs, the little money earned was not enough for half a day's electricity bill.

Rong Yin talked about it on the phone, and he was a little confused, but he didn't go into it. After all, business can't be the same every day, and it's extremely normal to have good times and bad times.

Rong Yin said: "Maybe it has something to do with the weather, it's not guaranteed."

Qiao Yan went to West Street to pick up the goods and arrived at the store before ten o'clock.

In the following whole day, the order volume at noon rose slightly, and the order for afternoon tea online was barely there. Overall, it wasn't too bad, at least better than the sluggish weekend.

After a night of recovery, the two bosses are now in a more energetic state than the previous two days, especially Qiao Yan, who can be said to be radiant, as if he suddenly came back to life.

Qiao Yan and Rong Yin exchanged positions and worked in rotation. This week, Qiao Yan was temporarily asked to do the work on the bar side, and Rong Yin did the rest.Making coffee is definitely the most tiring, and often has the most orders. The two of them basically exchange each other every once in a while, but the time will not be too long. Rong Yin is mainly responsible for the front. Qiao Yan's coffee making skills are not bad. It's not as good as Rong Yin's quick hands.

"By the way, I almost forgot the most important thing." Rong Yin said, patting his forehead lightly, "I should go to Beijing, and then I will have to work harder on you."

Qiao Yan nodded briskly, said "OK" and asked, "Going on a trip?"

"No, how could it be." Rong Yin said, and told the truth, "I went over there to visit relatives. My grandparents moved there this year to settle down, and they will follow my sister-in-law from now on."

The situation of Rong Yin's family is more complicated. The previous generation belonged to a reorganized family. Rong Yin's father was the eldest son of Grandma Rong, who was born after marrying her first husband, and the other two aunts were married to her second husband. This is the current child.

Due to the estrangement and conflicts in the early years, Rong Yin's father and her grandparents were not particularly harmonious, but Rong Yin's relationship with them there was not bad, and the communication between the two parties was relatively close.

This old house was left to Rong Yin by his grandparents. The two old people moved to the old aunt in Shanghai a few years ago for the elderly. They didn't plan to come back to live longer, so they left the house to Rong Yin.

Now that they have moved to Beijing, my sister-in-law wants Rong Yin to accompany the old man in the past, and she should not refuse it due to emotion or reason.

Rong Yin explained a lot of things, and worried that Qiao Yan would not be able to handle it alone.Qiao Yan said: "Don't worry, the task will definitely be completed." Rong Yin said: "You can contact me if you have anything to do." Qiao Yan asked: "When will it be?" "The day after tomorrow at the latest."

"It was a sudden call. My grandma is sick."

"It's not serious," Rong Yin said, "it's about the same as your grandma, her memory has deteriorated." Qiao Yan: "I have to go."

After the handover, Rong Yin relaxed a little.In the second half of the day, everyone was busy with their own affairs, going back and forth.

Later, Qiao Yan sent a message to Xu Ziqing, saying that he was going back to Xijing Compound tonight and would probably stay at home for the next few days.Qiao Yan asked Xu Ziqing to save a meal for him, and ordered with a cheeky face. He wanted to eat couple's lung slices, so he asked Xu Ziqing to pass by the stewed meat shop after get off work to buy one.

Xu Ziqing didn't respond to personal messages when she was at work, and only made a fuss at 05:30, saying that she knew about it, and not long after, she sent a photo of buying a couple's lung slices.

With the "experience" of the previous night, Qiao Yan still drove off on time at nine o'clock, "speeding" all the way, and arrived home quickly.

But she won't go to Zhou's house tonight. She will eat hot meals here in Anshengwo, and then go upstairs to lie down and play games on her mobile phone. Legs curled up.

Zhou Xiyun didn't work overtime that day. He got home before sunset, had dinner, took a shower...it was almost ten o'clock after washing, and he was going to sleep, but when he turned around, he didn't want to see the person opposite.

The two rooms face each other, and each can clearly see the scene on the other side.

Compared with yesterday, Qiao Yan's dress tonight is different, quite unique, and the taste is really fresh: she wears a hooded nightdress, light gray loose style, and the hat is a long-eared rabbit with white fur around it. There are two small light yellow teeth in the middle, like two ugly rotten teeth.

Qiao Yan was playing the game with one hand, while the other hand unconsciously grabbed the clothes and squeezed hard. One of the rabbit ears suddenly stood up, rushed straight to the top, and then fell limply.

With the cover of the wall, Zhou Xiyun couldn't see how Qiao Yan did it. From here, he could only see someone's ears rising and falling alternately.

Zhou Xiyun stopped and watched for a while, not understanding what he was doing, so he continued to do his own thing instead.

The night is quiet and safe, and the two sides do not interfere with each other.It was a peaceful day, better than the night before.

If it wasn't for something smashing in from the opposite side before going to bed.

With a snap, the thing almost hit the window glass.

Zhou Xiyun paused for a moment, and looked at it in response to his reputation, assuming that something had happened, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was a purple candy.She turned around, picked up the candy puzzledly, and looked diagonally across.

Over at Qiao's house, the instigator was smiling now, with his upper body propped on the window sill, holding a pack of snacks in his hand, and unconsciously waving towards him.

Someone didn't seem to think that disturbing the people in the middle of the night was an act of crossing the line. He shook the bag and made a mouth shape, intending to ask if he wanted to eat.

Zhou Xiyun definitely didn't want to eat, so he ignored it and closed the window.

Qiao Yan didn't mind her indifference, and she grinned at the last moment while still seeing each other, inexplicably flustered with joy.

No matter what it means, what to do, Zhou Xiyun will rest when the time comes, and will not stay up late for a long time.And not long after the lights were turned off here, the opposite side also became dark in a short while.It's really rare, the night owl has changed his sex, and it's the first time he goes to bed so early.

When Qiao Yan did it on a whim and was bored by accident, Zhou Xiyun didn't care too much. The next day, he still focused on his work and didn't care about that person.

The next day, Qiao Yan still returned home.

I changed into new pajamas, which are more pleasing to the eye than the night before, made of silk and satin.This one is still tossing tonight and continues to throw sugar.Alpine hard candy, grape flavor.

Zhou Xiyun sent a WeChat message, straight to the point and asked: [Is there something wrong? ] Qiao Yan replied: [No. 】Zhou Xiyun: 【? 】

Qiao Yan said frankly: [It's all snacks bought by my grandma, I'll give you some. 】

The way of delivering food is quite unique, smashing the windows every time, only one piece each time.It's clearly a deliberate search for a sense of presence.

Zhou Xiyun didn't believe a word of her words, only said: 【I don't eat those. 】Qiao Yan replied in seconds: 【All right. 】

Qiao Yan: [It seems that you don't have such a blessing, so I'm destined to take it all by myself. 】Qiao Yan:【Grandma still gives half of the share to you. 】

The package of snacks was indeed bought by my grandma, and my grandma did personally tell Zhou Xiyun to share some.The old people still think they are children, and when they go out shopping and meet them, they buy them for a hundred yuan.

Zhou Xiyun put down his phone and let Qiao Yan do what he wanted with it.

It was still a calm night, and there was not much communication between the two sides, and there was no delay for each other.

In the next few days, all the discrepancies were small.

Qiao Yan went home continuously for the first time, drove to the store early in the morning to guard, and came here after closing at night.

Zhou Xiyun worked the night shift one day and returned to Xijing Compound later than Qiao Yan. The rest of the working days returned at normal time.

Qiao Yan stopped throwing candy, and behaved fairly well.She still lays down on the window sill every night, sometimes chatting online, sometimes watching videos, and staring at the opposite side when she is not in the mood to play.

I don't understand why, Zhou Xiyun didn't ask, and couldn't interfere.

In fact, Qiao Yan didn't understand what he was doing, anyway, he had an obsession for no reason, and always wanted to come back and stay.She was also unwilling to find Zhou Xiyun, and she didn't even set foot on the opposite side. In short, she was both close and far away, which was very contradictory.

This situation lasted for four days, until the Dragon Boat Festival came, Xu Ziqing suddenly proposed to watch a dragon boat race in a scenic spot in the suburbs, planning to go outside for the three-day Dragon Boat Festival this year.

Being a mother was in a hurry, and she had this idea long ago. After making the decision, she didn't tell her daughter immediately, but asked her grandmother's opinion, and Qiao Yan agreed that they could go together.

Grandma asked Xu Ziqing to ask about the Zhou family, and said that there were so many people there. If Zhou's mother and daughter were free, they could go out to play together, which would be more lively.

Xu Ziqing also had this idea, so he immediately consulted with Zhou Huiwen.

Zhou Huiwen must be willing, so he agreed.

Contrary to the tendency of young people to travel alone, the elders have the same concept, and they all feel that it is more comfortable to play together, and the atmosphere is not good without people, and it is too lonely.

Xu Ziqing didn't ask Qiao Yan for permission, but just asked, "Do you have Dragon Boat Festival in your store?"

Qiao Yan replied without knowing the truth: "Let it go, definitely let it go. Everyone has gone back during the Dragon Boat Festival. Our shop is in an alley, so there is usually no business."

Xu Ziqing said, "That's fine, it's just right."

Immediately, I was notified that I was going to watch the dragon boat race, and asked my daughter to pack her luggage, and put on a short-sleeved and long coat, and told her the precautions for traveling.

As soon as he heard that the two families were traveling together again, Qiao Yan's face turned pale, and he said reluctantly, "No, I want to go with you."

Xu Ziqing's hegemony is what he says. "That's up to you, this family listens to me."

Qiao Yan was hypocritical, "Mom..."

If Ms. Xu doesn't take this set, she will be immune to everything, and it won't work no matter what.It's all agreed, let alone grandma is still there, how can I go back on it or leave anyone behind.

"Your grandma and I don't ask you anything. We didn't go a few years ago. Now Huiwen has finally gone. What else do you want?"

Qiao Yan said, "I'm tired, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay at home and rest."

"You just stay at home and play games." Xu Ziqing exposed her, and immediately babbled a lot, such as 27 years old next year, 28 next year, about to be three years old, and the life style of a dead house is not healthy and optimistic. The mess is just an education.

Her mother's thoughts were extremely lethal, and Qiao Yan didn't dare to talk back, fearing that her ears would be pulled and dealt with, so she could only nod her head in response.

Only then was Xu Ziqing satisfied, and said, "Your Aunt Zhou and I will book the tickets to guide you, and then you and Xiyun will drive."

As for the Zhou family, Zhou Xiyun didn't bother him so much, he agreed when he had time, and there was no need for Zhou Huiwen's persuasion.

The arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival has caused the store's business to drop again. The closer it is to the three-day holiday, the fewer orders Kafa has.

Without Rong Yin, Qiao Yan is too busy. Every day, he starts to do things. Sometimes the bar counter and the baking room go around at two o'clock and one line.

Although Kafa's store is small, it should have a sense of ritual. Even if it can't be as luxurious as a big company, it still has the necessary gift care, distribution of rice dumplings, and holiday subsidies.

Rong Yin was responsible for these things in previous years, but Qiao Yan needs to take over this year.

Qiao Yan was a straightforward person who didn't bother to engage in little surprises. Instead, he launched a vote in the group without any concealment, and let a few employees decide what they wanted internally.

Yangyang and the others don't want rice dumplings, and they all voted to exchange the gifts for cash.With a wave of Qiao Yan's big hand, he did what he said.

Holidays are always something to be happy about. Even if the traditional meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival is not festive, it is still fun to have a holiday.

There were many festivals in all directions. Until the day before the holiday, Qiao Yan personally received several boxes of rice dumpling gift boxes from friends, comic agencies, and some copyright cooperation third parties.

The zongzi sent by the manga club are the most "heartfelt", and I don't forget to remind them to beat them at this time.

Qiao Yan only left two boxes of zongzi, and sent the rest to her father's house.

There are only three people here, and it would be a waste if you can't finish eating and leave it for too long.Besides, she also gave things to her friends, which is not considered to be trampling on others' wishes.

It was a busy night and the suitcase was packed to the brim.

The two families set off at [-]:[-] am on the first day of the holiday. They got up at dawn to prepare, move things, tidy up, and have breakfast... Traveling is troublesome, and there are many trivial matters, especially if there are old people in the team.

Qiao Yan said he didn't want to go out, but when he really wanted to go out, he still took the initiative to run back and forth, running around reliably the whole time.She wasn't really careless, she knew that Ms. Xu was working hard, so she took on the task of taking care of her grandma.

Elderly people can't take the express train, blow the air for a long time, and don't be bored for a long time, otherwise they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

On this road to Qimu Town, the car was not driving fast, but at a steady and uniform speed, and it took a long time. It took two and a half hours to reach the destination after less than two hours' drive.

Qimu Town has beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the natural scenery is even more atmospheric than in the promotional film.

There is an endless stream of tourists here, and there was a long queue of cars at the entrance of the town that day.

It was Qiao Yan's first visit to the town, and he didn't know anything about it. He was dumbfounded when he was stuck in traffic. He really didn't expect there to be so many tourists in such a small place. He thought it should be relatively clean.

Xu Ziqing said: "There are so many people every year, and this year is not bad. In the past, they couldn't get in at all. Some cars could only park one or two kilometers away, and they all had to walk."

Qimu Town's annual Dragon Boat Festival has been well received, and this year is the triennial Daqing, a national competition has been held. It is said that the group bonus is as high as one million, and there are many activities of various sizes, so it has attracted many people. Few tourists come to join in to watch the excitement.

Qiao Yan, who didn't pay much attention to this kind of activity, clicked his tongue. He had never heard of it, so he really didn't know.No wonder the gimmick is so big.

The traffic jam lasted about an hour, and it took a lot of effort to get to the hotel where I stayed.

After getting off the car, the two mothers helped the grandma in, and checked in inside first. Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun found a place to park and carried the luggage together.

The environment and service of the inn are quite good. The boss personally came out to meet them, warmly helped them, and led them to the second floor.The room was booked by Xu Ziqing, and the price was not cheap, it was the most expensive and the best in the inn.

After going upstairs to confirm the location of the room, the proprietress handed over the key cards to them and said, "If you need anything, you can call anytime, and you can go downstairs to look for it. Usually we are there."

Qiao Yan looked down and found that there were only two key cards, and blurted out, "Are there only two rooms?"

The proprietress said, "Yes, you only booked two rooms."

Qiao Yan was a little taken aback.

Xu Ziqing put it aside and directed: "They are all double rooms. I, my mother, and Huiwen live in this side, and the two young ones in the other side. This way, we are so close that we can take care of each other at night."
