Chapter 131 Halloween
Bai Qingxia hesitated for a moment, but decided to respond honestly: "Yes."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled: "We are really in tune with each other, so am I. I will definitely choose you next. So pray that I will be chosen to give a speech later, Jiejiejie——"
The girl pouted her mouth and lowered her head depressedly.
But she was not angry, and even felt some inexplicable joy deep in her heart.
Being selected in this situation just proves that the person who selected her last time has a good relationship with her.
This was something that could only happen in dreams in the past. After all, how could Lu Yuanqiu, who had never spoken to her, inexplicably choose someone who had never interacted with each other among the 50 or so people in the class? What about her?
If she had not gone to the supermarket to steal bread on that day in late August.
I didn’t get to know Lu Yuanqiu officially because of this.
Bai Qingxia knew that she would most likely be the last one to give a speech in the entire class, because she was the only one left in the class, and no one in front of her had a good relationship with her, so no one would pick her.
Many nights, Bai Qingxia was thinking about it.
It’s not like she hasn’t visited that supermarket before, but she has never seen Lu Yuanqiu there, but she happened to meet Lu Yuanqiu when she decided to steal bread to satisfy her hunger. Maybe it was God’s will.
After Lu Yuanqiu turned his head back, the smile on his face gradually faded.
He sighed.
When Bai Qingxia died in the senior year of high school in his previous life, he was the last person to give a speech.
...
October 30th is the night, and tomorrow is Halloween.
Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket.
Bai Songzhe moved boxes of candies that had been prepared for a long time from the warehouse and placed them outside. Then he stood there obediently and accepted the lollipops that Lu Tian rewarded him.
"Hey, lollipop, hey..."
Bai Qingxia stood next to her, gently stroking her father's back. After unwrapping the lollipop, Bai Songzhe quickly handed the lollipop to his daughter: "Give it to Xia Xia!"
"Xia Xia" If you don’t want to eat, you can eat.”
She smiled gently at her father.
Lu Yuanqiu took his eyes back from this scene, bent down and tore open the carton, and then said to Bai Qingxia: "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago? Our supermarket's tradition."
Bai Qingxia nodded quickly when he heard this: "Remember, you said you would get up early tomorrow and go out to hand out candies."
That's what Lu Yuanqiu said that day, but Bai Qingxia didn't know why he chose to hand out candies in the early morning of Halloween. Shouldn't candy generally be given out on Halloween night? That’s why it’s called Halloween.
Of course, Bai Qingxia doesn't know the specific customs. Festivals like Halloween have always been too far away from her.
Lu Tian looked at his son, then at Xiao Xia, and couldn't help but laugh: "I can't believe that this year it will be you two little guys who do it. In the past, it was me and Fatty Wang who did it early in the morning. Get up."
Hearing this, Fatty Wang, who was helping to move the goods, scratched his head and smiled honestly.
Things are so mysterious... Bai Qingxia looked at the father and son in front of him, blinked his beautiful eyes, and felt a little hopeful.
Early next morning.
October 31st, Halloween.
The girl living in Osmanthus Alley woke up on time at 3:30 in the morning.
Her habit is like this. As long as she thinks about what time to get up the next morning the day before, she can almost wake up on time.
It’s not that I’m not sleepy enough, it’s just that I have something pressing on my mind. After lying on the bed, an intense countdown seems to have started in my head.
After getting ready, in order not to wake her father, she quietly went out and closed the door. It was still dark outside and the air was a bit cold. The girl came to the entrance of Osmanthus Alley and waited for a while. Not long after, she saw Lu Yuanqiu driving a tricycle pulling goods and stopped on the roadside.
"Come on, get in the car."
Sitting at the front of the car, Lu Yuanqiu yawned and moved his butt to the side, revealing the narrow empty seat next to him.
Bai Qingxia sat down, and their bodies were squeezed together. Lu Yuanqiu teased her and deliberately put his arms from behind her, which was equivalent to holding her in his arms and then holding the two handles of the tricycle with both hands. .
The girl looked back in her arms and saw Lu Yuanqiu looking forward with a serious face. She thought that this was how the tricycle had to be driven, so she didn't say anything.
Lu Yuanqiu stopped pretending and laughed in her ear.
On Halloween day, at 3:30 in the morning, boys and girls drove tricycles, pulling a cart of candies towards Chuanglai Square on Wangjiang Road.
After the tricycle stopped, Lu Yuanqiu handed the red vest from the supermarket to Bai Qingxia and said, "Put this on."
The name and address of Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket was printed on the red vest.
After parking the car, Lu Yuanqiu held four boxes of candies, and Bai Qingxia held two boxes. He turned around and saw that her head was blocked tightly by two cardboard boxes. Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Is that okay? No. Give me another box.”
“It’s not heavy...”
The head hidden behind the carton made a labored sound.
When he arrived at the square, Lu Yuanqiu put down the box. Hearing the movement next to him, Bai Qingxia also put it down.
The girl then saw the scene in front of her.
She froze.
In the dimly lit Chuanglai Square, there were many migrant workers wearing yellow safety helmets.
They were standing, sitting, or lying down.
They were very old, mostly middle-aged men and women, but Bai Qingxia also saw many old people with gray hair and skinny faces among them.
These people were wearing Jiefang shoes, baggy short-sleeves and shirts, or shabby military green jackets. They were wandering aimlessly in the square, as if waiting for something.
A few adults walked around the breakfast stalls a few times, as if they wanted to buy something to eat. After looking at them for a few times, they walked away without buying anything.
Seeing the girl standing there, Lu Yuanqiu said, "It's my first time here too, and it's really shocking. I heard from my dad that these people are all handymen with no fixed jobs, doing daily work. . ”
“But they don’t call looking for a job, they call it looking for a way to survive.”< br>
Bai Qingxia looked at Lu Yuanqiu and asked in confusion: "But...where is there any work here?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Just wait for more than an hour, someone will drive a van to pull people to work. , whoever can seize the opportunity will get into the car and make money.”
"Every year on Halloween, my dad would come over and hand out candies with Fatty Wang. This is the tradition of Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket."
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and said to her with a smile.
Bai Qingxia also looked at him, smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
The two carried the candy box to the square. Lu Yuanqiu bent down and opened the box, took a big speaker, and shouted: “Uncles and aunties, Grandpa, aunt, grandpa and grandma, Happy Halloween! ”
After speaking, Lu Yuanqiu put the loudspeaker to Bai Qingxia's mouth.
The girl was about to speak, but suddenly she saw everyone’s eyes looking over, and she whispered cautiously: "Happy Halloween..."
Lu Yuanqiu continued: "We are from The employees of the Four Seasons Fresh Food Supermarket on Wangjiang Road are here to give you free candies today, Halloween!”
