Chapter 131 Halloween Chapter
Chapter 131 Halloween
Bai Qingxia hesitated for a moment, but decided to respond honestly: "Yes."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "You two are so in sync. Me too. I will definitely choose you next. So pray that I will be chosen to give a speech later. Hehehe——"
The girl pouted and lowered her head in frustration.
But she was not angry, and even felt some inexplicable joy deep in her heart.
The fact that she was chosen under such circumstances just proves that the previous person who chose her had 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 her out of the 50 or so people in the class, with whom she had never had any interaction?
If she hadn't gone to the supermarket to steal bread that day in late August.
This did not allow me to formally get to know Lu Yuanqiu.
Bai Qingxia knew that she would most likely be the last person to give a speech in the class, because she was the only one left in the class, and no one before her had a good relationship with her, so no one would choose her.
Bai Qingxia thought about it for many nights.
It's not like she had not been to that supermarket before, but she had never seen Lu Yuanqiu there. But she happened to run into him when she decided to steal some 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.
In his previous life, when Bai Qingxia was in his senior year of high school, he died and he was the last person to give a speech.
……
It’s the evening of October 10th, and tomorrow is Halloween.
Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket.
Bai Songzhe moved boxes of candies that had been prepared long ago out of the warehouse and placed them outside, then stood there obediently and took the lollipop that Lu Tian gave him as a reward.
"Hey, lollipop, hey..."
Bai Qingxia stood by, gently stroking her father's back. Bai Songzhe unwrapped the lollipop and quickly handed it to his daughter: "Give it to Xia Xia!"
"Xia Xia doesn't want to eat it, so you eat it."
She smiled warmly at her father.
Lu Yuanqiu withdrew his gaze from the scene, bent down and tore open the carton, then said to Bai Qingxia: "Remember what I told you a few days ago? The tradition of our supermarket."
Bai Qingxia nodded quickly after hearing this: "Remember, you said you would get up early tomorrow and go out to hand out candy."
Lu Yuanqiu did say that on that day, but Bai Qingxia didn't know why they chose to hand out candy in the early morning of Halloween. Shouldn't they hand out candy on Halloween night? That's why it's called Halloween Night.
Of course, Bai Qingxia didn’t know the specific customs, as festivals like Halloween had always been too far away from her.
Lu Tian looked at his son, then at Xiao Xia, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that this year it would be you two little guys who would do it. In the past, Fatty Wang and I would get up early in the morning."
Hearing this, Fatty Wang, who was helping to move the goods, scratched his head and smiled naively.
Things seem so mysterious... Bai Qingxia looked at the father and son in front of her, blinked her beautiful eyes, and felt a little expectant.
Early next morning.
October 10st, Halloween.
The girl living in Osmanthus Lane woke up at 3:30 in the morning.
This is her habit. As long as she thinks about what time to get up the next morning the day before, she can almost always wake up on time.
It’s not that I’m not sleepy enough, but I have something on my mind. After I lie down on the bed, it’s as if a fast countdown has started in my mind.
After getting ready, she tiptoed out of the house and closed the door in order not to wake up her father. It was still dark outside and the air was a little cold. The girl came to the entrance of Guihua Lane and waited for a while. Soon she saw Lu Yuanqiu driving a tricycle with goods parked on the side of the road.
"Come on, get in the car."
Lu Yuanqiu was sitting at the front of the car. He yawned and moved his butt to the side, revealing the narrow empty space next to him.
Bai Qingxia sat on it, and their bodies were squeezed together. Lu Yuanqiu teased her and deliberately put his arm around her from behind, 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 his arms and saw Lu Yuanqiu looking straight ahead with a serious face. She thought that this was how a tricycle should be driven, so she said nothing.
Lu Yuanqiu didn't pretend anymore and burst into laughter in her ear.
On Halloween, at 3:30 in the morning, young boys and girls drove tricycles carrying a cart of candy to Chuanglai Square on Wangjiang Road.
After the tricycle stopped, Lu Yuanqiu handed Bai Qingxia a red vest from the supermarket and said, "Put this on."
The name and address of Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket are printed on the red vest.
After parking the car, Lu Yuanqiu was holding four boxes of candy, while Bai Qingxia was holding two boxes. He turned his head and saw that her head was completely blocked by the two boxes. Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Is it okay? If not, give me another box."
“Not heavy…”
The head hidden behind the cardboard box made a sound of effort.
When they arrived at the square, Lu Yuanqiu put down the box. Hearing the noise next to him, Bai Qingxia put it down too.
Only then did the girl see the scene before her.
She was stunned.
In the dimly lit Chuanglai Square, there stood many migrant workers wearing yellow safety helmets.
They were either standing, sitting or lying down.
They were very old, mostly middle-aged men and women, but Bai Qingxia also saw many old people with white hair and skinny faces among them.
These people were wearing Liberation shoes, baggy short-sleeved shirts and shirts, or worn army green jackets. They were wandering around the square aimlessly, as if waiting for something.
A few old men and women walked around the breakfast stalls, as if they wanted to buy something to eat. After looking for a few times, they walked away without buying anything.
Seeing the girl standing there in a daze, Lu Yuanqiu said, "It's my first time here too, and I'm really shocked. My dad told me that these people are handymen without regular jobs, doing daily jobs."
"But they don't call it looking for a job, they call it looking for a way to make a living."
Bai Qingxia looked at Lu Yuanqiu and asked in confusion: "But where are the jobs here?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Wait for another hour or so. Someone will come in a van to pick up people for work. Whoever gets the chance to get in the van will make money."
"My dad comes over every Halloween and hands out candy 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 of them carried the candy box to the square. Lu Yuanqiu bent down and opened the box. He took out a loud speaker and shouted, "Happy Halloween to all uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas!"
After saying that, Lu Yuanqiu put the loudspeaker to Bai Qingxia's mouth.
The girl was about to speak, but suddenly she noticed everyone's eyes were looking at her, so she said in a low voice, "Happy Halloween..."
Lu Yuanqiu continued, "We are employees from the Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket on Wangjiang Road. Today is Halloween, and we are here to give you free candy!"
