rain is not far

Chapter 3

After dealing with the tattoo stickers on his arms, Qi Shiyu and He Xi went to the operating room to make desserts.It has been six years since No. 6 Baihua Lane opened, and the biggest feature of the past six years is "casual".

Qi Shiyu opened the refrigerator to look at the raw materials, and said to He Xi: "Today, make a Basque cheesecake, and then make a strawberry mille-feuille?"

He Xi instantly became obsessed with her upper body: "Brother Qi, everything you do is delicious."

Qi Shiyu smiled and handed her the eggs and flour: "Don't be poor, go and stir the batter."

The two of them got busy, and it wasn't long before He Dong came in with a small pot of sweet-scented osmanthus. He patiently washed the little sweet-scented osmanthus several times, carefully blotted the water with kitchen paper, and took out a glass to seal it. Jar, a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus is covered with a fine layer of white sugar. From the outside of the glass bottle, the white yellowish flowers overlap with the crystal sugar, which is very beautiful.

"Look at your brother's ingenuity, tsk tsk." Qi Shiyu said to He Xi while making a thousand-layer cake crust in a pan, "The more I look at it, the more it looks like a little palace lady in ancient times... Yes Is Xi Shi still washing flowers by the river?"

He Xi had black lines on his face: "Brother, what Xi Shi is wearing is yarn."

Qi Shiyu took it easy: "It doesn't matter, the key is that you see how virtuous your brother is. Learn more from your brother, and quickly find a boyfriend to experience youth."

He Xi glanced at He Dong, and felt that it was chilling to associate her brother with the word Xianhui.She couldn't help but said: "Brother Qi, don't miss my brother, you two have the same number, I can't drink this CP very well."

"Go, go, I'm just talking so much at you. Your brother will be annoyed by you if he finds a partner." Qi Shiyu couldn't move his hand, stretched out a foot and pretended to kick He Xi, "Little girl, every family!" , still understand everything?"

The two were arguing, and the other three shop assistants in the store also arrived.Lao Wang is in his early forties this year. He has good knife skills and craftsmanship. He has been working here since the shop opened. He is considered a real chef in the shop; Sister Zhao, who is about the same age as Lao Wang, is quick in hands and feet and careful in doing things. She is responsible for cleaning and washing dishes. There is also a girl named Xiaowen, who is a waiter and occasionally helps Miss Zhao.

The store at No. 6 Baihua Lane is not big, so a few people are enough.In my own yard, without such a big expense as the rent, the business is booming, and Qi Shiyu is a generous owner, and the salary is higher than that of ordinary restaurants, so these few shop assistants are all old employees here.He Xi returned to her hometown for a month, and several people greeted her for a while before returning to their respective posts.

After ten o'clock, customers began to come to the door one after another.Most of the guests are little girls in twos and threes, and they basically come a little earlier than lunch time, have a snack first, and then have lunch by the way.Everyone knows that although the store at No. 6 Baihua Lane is small, the boss never pushes people away and chats for as long as he wants, so it is especially popular with young girls.

This busy work lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.Qi Shiyu took the time to look at his phone, and read the unread messages one by one.

"Zhong Yuan: Zhong Yuan has added you as a friend, you can start chatting now."

"Zhong Yuan: Hello, Qi Lang's father. I am Zhong Yuan, Qi Lang's class teacher. You can communicate with me at any time if you have any questions about children's education. I will add you to the parent group of the class later, thank you."

It took Qi Shiyu two seconds to react before he realized that this was the QR code of the head teacher that he had scanned in the morning.Scrolling up again, I saw a group of parents who had not read dozens of messages.

In addition to the class teacher and the teacher in the parent group, the rest are the parents of more than 20 students in the class.The teachers were very polite. After the official self-introduction, there was an orderly rainbow fart queue for the parents.

He turned to the last message of @Everyone: "Zhong Yuan: @Everyone from today I will conduct home visits to each classmate in turn, and I will contact you via private message to arrange a time later, thank you for your cooperation."

Then there was a string of non-repetitive rainbow farts from the parents.

Qi Shiyu was dumbfounded. The kindergarten that Qi Lang attended was in the alley next door. It was the kindergarten opposite the street neighborhood committee. The children were basically neighbors' children, and the parents were very sincere.So... It was the first time for him to join the official parent group. He frowned and read every reply until he saw:

"Grandma Ho Ka-lok: Mrs. Chung worked tirelessly to visit each student's home after get off work. She is really a role model for teachers and a good and responsible gardener. Thank you teacher, I hope you take care of your health after hard work! smile.jpg"

Qi Lang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he clicked on the person's profile picture. The photo was of the pot of crab claw orchids placed on the edge of the steps at the entrance of the courtyard opposite - the genuine Grandma He Jiale.

Qi Lang quickly deleted the word "OK" that he had entered in the dialog box, and shouted loudly: "He Xi! He Xi!"

He Xizheng had a passionate chat with several young people who were having afternoon tea, and he couldn't come over even hearing him shout, so he also replied loudly: "What's wrong, the master?"

"Come, come, use your ingenuity, and reply to the WeChat of the head teacher." Qi Shiyu said, "Please be sure to flatter me fresh and refined, I must not lose to Hei Xiaopang's grandma."

He Xi came over, took the phone, turned it up and down a few times, and put the phone on the counter with a frown: "Brother Qi, how about it, I will pick up Xiao Lang for you later. I refuse to edit such flattering information."

Qi Shiyu could only silently take back his phone, read "I am a good young man who respects the old and loves the young" three times silently, then re-edited "Okay, thank you teacher", and pressed the send button.

Tables for dinner are fully booked a week in advance.He Xi consciously took on the errand of picking up the young master's family after school, and Qi Shiyu helped Lao Wang prepare the ingredients in the back kitchen, and then helped He Dong make dinner.

Before four o'clock, I heard He Xi yelling outside: "We're back!" A little hand lifted the curtain of the cartoon version of the tiger going down the mountain, and the little boy's voice was clearly cute, but a little cold: "Old Qi, you Can you make me chicken legs?"

Qi Shiyu was very helpless to this child who only had chicken legs in his heart: "Ask Lao He."

He Dong shook his spoon and said, "It's done, you should go back and do your homework. Your grandparents will come and ask you to eat later."

Qi Lang was still indifferent: "I'm in the first grade, and I don't have homework."

He Xi also squeezed in with Qi Lang, happily said: "Brother Qi, brother Xiao Lang, our homeroom teacher is too handsome!"

"How handsome can it be?" Qi Shiyu pouted, "Better than me and your brother?"

"This...it's really different." He Xi thought about it carefully, "You and my brother are the kind of handsome and unrestrained handsome, and that one is the kind of...gentle scum and good-looking."

Sven scum.The face from last night appeared in Qi Shiyu's mind again.

He was indeed a scum, and when he thought of that face, he still felt a dull pain behind him.

He Xi slapped his head suddenly: "By the way, Teacher Zhong said that he sent you a private message asking for a home visit, but you haven't replied yet."

"Really?" Qi Shiyu wiped his hands on the apron, took out his mobile phone, and sure enough there was a message from the head teacher.

"Zhong Yuan: Hello, Qi Lang's father, if it is convenient, I would like to make a home visit tonight. Please contact me with your time, thank you."

Mingde Primary School is very close to Baihua Lane, so it really became the first stop for the teacher's home visit.Qi Shiyu thought about it, and replied on WeChat:

"7: Hello, Mr. Zhong, I'm sorry I didn't see your WeChat just now. It depends on your arrangement in terms of time, and I have no problem here."

There was a reply soon.

"Zhong Yuan: just now, another classmate's parent contacted me first, and I will visit your home later, the time is around eight o'clock in the evening, do you think it's okay? Also confirm that your address is No. 6, Baihua Lane?"

"7: No problem, the address is correct, thank you Mr. Zhong."

With this very official tone, Qi Shiyu couldn't connect with the "gentle scum" that He Xi called.
