Chapter 123 Jingle Bells
Within a few minutes of arriving at the store, the old lady came back.

The shop was closed in the evening, and after everyone had dinner, Gu Xiangnuan handed the things he bought to the old lady.

"Boss, this is for you." Gu Xiangnuan said.

"What is this?" asked the old woman.

"It's just clothes." Gu Xiangnuan replied.

"I don't want it." After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't look back.

"No matter, you have to hold it, or I won't let you go upstairs." Gu Xiangnuan ran over quickly, walked around the old lady, and blocked her way.

Looking at Gu Xiangnuan's appearance, the grandmother seemed to know that she couldn't hold back Gu Xiangnuan, so she took the bag from her hand.

Tonight, Li Anan and Gu Xiangnuan were still in the same room.

The men live in one room each.

"Why did you buy clothes for that old woman?" Li Anan was puzzled.

"Do you dare to wear that clothes?" Gu Xiangnuan raised his eyebrows.

"I don't dare." Li Anan pursed her lips, thinking of the models in the store, and shook her head.

"That's it."

The two of them washed up and fell asleep.

Tonight, Gu Xiangnuan didn't hear the knock on the door.

It should have been resolved.

She is not worried because Song Nanzhi can deal with it.

So it was another peaceful night's sleep.

After waking up the next day, several people felt refreshed.

Wouldn't it be nice not to be disturbed at night?
After breakfast, I went to the shop in front to help.

"Come two men and go stock up with me," the old lady said.

After saying these few words, the five of them were stunned for a moment.

Ever since yesterday we found out how this candy was produced, everyone knew it.

But today, she asked people to follow her to purchase goods.

"Just ride the same bike you rode yesterday," the old lady said.

Everyone decided to let Song Nanzhi and Liu Guoan go together.

The old woman went with them because they didn't know the way.

Today the old lady speaks louder than before.

My back is not as stooped as before, and even the white hair seems to be gone.

There are fewer wrinkles on my face and hands.

It's like I'm getting younger, so strange.

After the three people left, three people were left guarding the store.

No need to pick candies today, just sell them.

So the task is not very heavy.

There was no need to deliver candies today. She was actually quite curious when she thought of what the buyer said yesterday.

The buyer must know something too.

Another thing she is more confused about is what does the old lady do when she goes out every day?
She hasn't followed her out before, so she doesn't know very well.

The three of them didn't come back until after lunch.

I bought a lot of candies and came back.

But the expressions on the customers' faces didn't seem very happy.

Gu Xiangnuan more or less guessed something.

Today's customers are not very enthusiastic.

There are not as many people buying candies as there were in the past few days.

So it wasn't very busy.

Once the goods are received, everyone’s task begins again.

Start picking sweets and classifying flavors.

The sweets here are mixed in taste.

It seems that this candy store has two main categories of candy flavors.

One is to purchase goods. Do they need to distinguish the taste? The other is self-evident.

Obviously, customers are more enthusiastic about the second type.

Not many people bought candy, so only one person was reserved for the pre-sale price, and the remaining four people will share the flavors later.

Now that there is a purchasing link, you don’t have to worry about running out of candies.

A few people worked quietly without talking.

After all, the old lady was there.

One afternoon, except for some interactions with customers when selling candies, the candy shop was quiet the rest of the time.

"Have you noticed that the old lady looks younger and younger?" Gu Xiangnuan asked.

Several people nodded.

"I think this may have something to do with the thing that appeared at night." Liu Guoan said.

"Well, the one last night was different from the one the night before." Song Nanzhi said.

Today, he doesn't have time to talk to everyone about this.

"It is estimated that this is the reason in all likelihood." Gu Xiangnuan said, "Maybe this old lady is not an old lady at all."

The old lady looked like an old lady, but her voice was that of a young woman.

This will look very strange.

"Maybe, not even a human being." Liu Guoan said.

"No, she is a human being." Gu Xiangnuan said.

Everyone looked at her, not quite understanding.

"I was born with a special constitution." Gu Xiangnuan touched his nose.

Song Nanzhi knew, but others did not.

"There may be something out there that we don't quite understand."

"Ah."

"Okay, let's talk about it after tonight. Get some rest."

So everyone went to rest.

Li Anan no longer feels scared when he is in the same room with Gu Xiangnuan every day.

In the middle of the night, the sound in the corridor rang again.

"Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling..." A ringtone came.

He woke up Gu Xiangnuan.

The bell was ringing, its sound echoing throughout the corridor in the middle of the night.

Li Anan also woke up.

Look at Gu Xiangnuan quietly.

Gu Xiangnuan made a silent gesture.

Li Anan nodded.

"Hehehe, pretty sister, the door is open. You said you wanted to take me out to play." A child's voice came from outside the door. He sounded like he was only a few years old.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of tapping on the door of their room.

It doesn't look like the strength of a child at all.

Gu Xiangnuan really felt that the door would fall apart if he pushed harder.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Listening to the voice, there seemed to be more than one...

Kind of tricky.

I don't know if she can handle it alone.

I still have to take care of Li Anan.

"I'll open the door and close the door after I get out." Gu Xiangnuan whispered in Li Anan's ear.

Li Anan shook his head quickly, like a rattle.

"Be obedient." Gu Xiangnuan patted her shoulder.

Li Anan still shook his head.

In this way, she was just like Lin Fei. If something happened to Gu Xiangnuan, she felt that Song Nanzhi would definitely kill her.

Although the two of them are not lovers, their relationship is not ordinary.

"I'm sure." Gu Xiangnuan said, "If there is any movement, I will let you open the door."

"We have a good code word, if I don't say this code word, you must not open the door, understand?" Gu Xiangnuan looked at Li An'an and said.

After getting along with Li Anan these days, she felt that Li Anan was still very trustworthy. Among the five of them, only Lin Fei had the lowest credibility value.

It's not that she wants to go out and deal with the thing outside, but she feels that if Li Anan goes out, he will definitely die.

She leaned into Li Anan's ear and told her the code word.

Li Anan nodded.

At this moment, the movement outside the door is getting louder and louder, and the sound of the bell is getting louder and clearer.

　good night.
