Chapter 251 The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (25)
The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (Twenty-Five)
The college entrance examination is approaching.
Song Ning studies hard every day, and Lance even rented a new residence nearby this month for his studies.
The shop is ok on weekdays, but it is a bit too noisy on weekends.
No matter how much soundproofing was done, Lance still felt that so many people coming in and out would affect Song Ning. Song Ning initially said that he could go to school to study, but Lance's accusing look made Song Ning give up the idea.
"Ningning has almost no time to talk to me. If I go to school, I won't even be able to see Ningning. What motivation do I have to live?"
Lance picked up a fallen leaf, his lonely profile looked like an empty-nest elderly person.
Song Ning felt a little guilty, as he had indeed not thought of this just now.
"…Then rent a house, but don't let it be too far from the store, otherwise it will be too hard for you."
Lance immediately changed direction upon hearing this.
"It's okay. I checked and the place is very close. Let's go sign it right away."
Song Ning was grabbed by the hand and taken away with a head full of questions.
Already seen it? So Lance was prepared for this?
The house is still rented.
After seeing it, Song Ning was attracted by it. It was a beautiful old house which was a little far from the school.
The apartment that Lance rented was on the first floor. Song Ning didn't pay attention to anything else. He just fell in love with the small garden behind the old house at first sight.
The iron railings painted white by the owner should have lacked any human touch, but they could not stop the owner from carefully cultivating a small garden.
Small white flowers, large flowers with a pink gradient, tender green and dark green flowers support the buds or climb up from the corners of the wall. When the breeze blows, the buds and leaves sway together, sending waves of floral fragrance.
What caught Song Ning's eye was the table and chairs with a parasol deliberately made in the small garden.
He only took one look at that seat and couldn't help imagining how happy and blessed he would be if he sat there to study on weekends.
Lance paid three months' rent, but Song Ning still hasn't come to his senses.
He was in disbelief.
"Will the landlord really rent such a beautiful house to us?"
Such a nice little garden, you can tell at first glance that it has been taken care of very carefully by the owner.
"He's not willing to rent to just anyone. First of all, he has to know some knowledge about taking care of flowers."
This makes many people hesitate, but for Lance, as long as he wants to find it, the database has everything he needs.
So he used his extensive knowledge of gardening to negotiate the deal.
Song Ning was filled with awe after hearing this.
The way he looked at Lance was similar to the way he looked at a flower, as if he was looking at an existence that was difficult to cross.
However, since renting the house, Song Ning found that he was indeed much more comfortable than living in the shop.
What surprised and unexpected him was that he thought that if he was not studying in the store, he would have less time to spend with Lance, but when he came back this weekend, Lance had been at home with him.
"Ningning, eat some fruit."
Lance came to the small garden with a plate of cut fruit, turned around and took the watering can to water the plants.
Song Ning took a bite of the fruit and it was very sweet.
"Lance, don't you have to go to the store?"
He looked at the tall figure in front of him curiously. He remembered that the store was quite busy, and if anyone wanted a custom recipe, Lance would usually be there.
"No, Xiao Yang is the store manager now. I will be at home with you during the next three months."
Lance quickly took care of the garden. "The number of seats at the small dining table is already the limit. After all, the store is so small."
Although he maximized the utilization of resources inside and outside the store through scientific configuration, there was not much space to begin with, and even if he wanted to add new places, it was already saturated.
Or maybe he is just planning to achieve such results for the time being and he is already satisfied.
His purpose of running the shop was to allow Song Ning to go to school with peace of mind and to support his education, not to forget about Ningning just for the money.
Song Ning had only a vague idea of what was going on, but he still took the initiative to propose it.
"It doesn't matter if I don't have to accompany you to take the exam. This little garden is great. I can study at home by myself."
Lance immediately gave him an accusing look.
Song Ning felt like he had seen this look before.
He changed his words almost subconsciously.
"But I'd feel more motivated if you could stay with me."
Lance's dangerous look immediately turned into a smile as bright as spring.
"I thought so too. Ningning and I have the same idea."
The college entrance examination is approaching.
The countdown on the wall was getting shorter day by day, but with Lance's company, Song Ning felt more confident and relaxed day by day.
With one month left before the college entrance examination, he firmly ranked first in the grade in almost every mock exam.
The class teacher who had secretly despised him before would beat his chest and stamp his feet when he thought about it. Only Song Ning's class teacher would hold a big teacup every day, worrying about other students until his mouth was covered with blisters, but when he turned around and saw Song Ning sitting at the back like a calm and unconcerned cloud and wild crane, he could not help but smile kindly.
There is a student like this, he doesn’t want to go home every day and just wants to stay in school!
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
The blazing flames of June illuminated the earth, and not a single car horn could be heard in the small county town.
The entire county is making way for these students. The silence makes people feel a little uneasy and nervous, yet inexplicably at ease.
Occasionally, when hearing the sound of sirens, adults would show a helpless and funny expression on their faces.
It must be some idiot who forgot to bring his admission ticket again.
Lance also sent Song Ning to the examination room.
Although he had seldom been to the store for three months, his extremely tall stature, which was out of place among the people around him, and his handsome appearance that was hard to ignore still made many parents recognize him at once.
They all came over to greet Lance.
"Are you here to take Song Ning's exam as well?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. How do you manage the business in the store and it's still so good?"
"Lance, it's really thanks to your little dining table. My child said today that he must go to your house for lunch after the exam. I can see that he is not nervous at all, and his spirits are much better than last year."
The child of the parent who said this is a repeater.
"Well, I will definitely come to see Ningning off for his exam."
"The store is now managed by Xiao Yang, she is quite capable."
"The small dining table is only to solve the problem of eating. Your child still has a good attitude."
His social skills as a human were almost perfect. He just stood outside the examination room and chatted with the parents. They stood outside the school together, waiting for the most important person inside to come out of the exam.
at the same time.
Song Huai'en finally found a suitable opportunity. Yesterday, Song Huaian suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night.
The Song family kept it a secret from him. This morning, his stepmother was even kind enough to give him some money, saying that Song Jia and the others had been busy since he arrived and had no time to accompany him, so she told him to use the money to go out and have fun.
Song Huai'en knew exactly what the Song family was thinking. They just didn't want him to discover Song Huaian's heart disease and become suspicious.
But this was a good opportunity for him. Neither the Song family nor Song Huaian cared about him, so he took this opportunity to find Song Ning.
Song Huai'en thought about it and specially hired someone.
No matter what, he had to help Song Ning take back the shop and continue running it this time.
He helped Song Ning, so Song Ning should be grateful and give him all the money he earned, right?
