Chapter 245 Dreaming
  At this moment, her phone rang again.

"Xinke, where are you now?"

Liu Xinke was stunned for a moment, but she still told her address obediently, but what she didn't expect was that after the other party said 'wait for me where you are', less than five minutes later——

A chic motorcycle and a female rider wearing a helmet appeared in front of her.

"The store manager!!!"

Liu Xinke looked at Third Sister Jiang with her mouth wide open.

"Although I knew your home was nearby, I didn't expect you to be so close to me!"

Third Sister Jiang patted the butt of the car: "Come up here, I'll take you to see our new dormitory first! Then I'll take you home!"

"Oh!"

Liu Xinke thought for a moment and did not refuse. She sat obediently behind Third Sister Jiang. Third Sister Jiang held a helmet to cover her head, fulfilling the ultimate dream of an ostrich. Then she started her motorcycle and ran towards Chengnan dormitory of Taoyuan Village Food Store.

In the car, Third Sister Jiang asked, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Xinke, is today your eighteenth birthday?"

"……Um."

She responded quietly.

The motorcycle rode all the way to the end of the urban-rural fringe, and Liu Xin knew this place.

This place is not that far from where she lives. She still clearly remembers that she found a job harvesting fruits here, and she also clearly remembers the new dormitory for Taoyuan Village employees.

This is a very abrupt large house located in a group of buildings. It is four stories high and has a longer facade with about ten rooms. The overall look is like a piece of tofu standing on the cement floor. It is a wealthy man who earns money. A show-off for returning home after getting the money.

At that time, the rich man also said that he would build a large factory in the village, which attracted the villagers to follow suit... Later, something unexpected happened and he ran away with the money, and the villagers were so angry that they smashed his family's grave.

And this unsociable house became a non-performing asset that no one cared about in the village.

But now it seems that someone has taken over.

The motorcycle parked in front of the house. The new employees had already settled in and the place was bustling with activity. Renovation is still continuing upstairs, but downstairs, the staff canteen, new bathrooms, and even the library and electronic reading room for employees to rest are all ready.

"Xiao Xinke is finally here!" A familiar employee greeted Liu Xinke.

Liu Xinke quickly returned the gift and called her sister obediently. Third Sister Jiang explained at the side:

"The Nancheng store has been opened, and some people from our Plaza store have been transferred as the backbone! Xinke, from now on you can work there at noon, and you can also work at my place at night!"

"In the first month after the new store opens, old employees will receive a new store subsidy of 50% of their salary. You are also considered an old employee!"

"New store opening?" Liu Xinke was stunned for a moment.

She didn't even know about such a big thing.

"It's normal that you don't know. After all...it was a rush!"

Third Sister Jiang couldn't help but complain about her chairman.

I’ve seen businesses open quickly, but I’ve never seen businesses decide to open a store directly on the weekend.

I don’t know how the people in the construction team can ensure such ridiculous efficiency while still not complaining... But it is strange to have complaints.

After all, in many aspects, his own chairman is always liked by people, and he can't help but give himself a lot of blood.

When she learned that Taoyuan Village Food Nancheng Store was in a newly opened shopping mall nearby, Liu Xin couldn't help but be happy, because it was very close to home, which would undoubtedly be much more convenient.

While she was thinking about it, Third Sister Jiang pulled her into a conference room.

The conference room was filled with people she was familiar with - old employees who had been transferred from the Plaza Store, and on the long table in the conference room was a large cake with 'Happy Birthday' clearly written on it. “Xiao Xinke, I wish you a happy birthday!”

"Happy birthday to you!"

The birthday wishes that came to her ears made Liu Xinke feel a little dazed.

Like most people in China, she only counted her birthday according to the lunar calendar and not the solar calendar. She felt that no one would know her birthday... She only remembered that during the interview, Sister Jiang asked her carefully. She didn't think much about the date of birth.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who are thinking about it!

"Xinke! Here you go!"

Third Sister Jiang stuffed a red envelope into Liu Xinke's hand. Seeing her puzzled eyes, she said in a gentle tone: "Employee benefits are available for everyone's birthday! Get it!"

Everyone held hands and sang a birthday song. Liu Xinke stared blankly at the red envelope in his hand, as reserved as a little ostrich released from the zoo into nature.

His eyes couldn't help but feel moist.

Really

It's really like dreaming.

At night, Third Sister Jiang rode a motorcycle to take Liu Xinke to the road not far from her home. Liu Xinke got out of the car and thanked: "Thank you, store manager. There are only a few steps left. I'll walk back by myself!"

"Wait a moment!"

Third Sister Jiang stopped Liu Xinke and asked, "Xinke, do you like fried chicken burgers and French fries the most?"

"Ah? No..."

"But the chef in the back kitchen said that when you see these things again, your eyes will always be very focused and you will be in a daze."

As Sister Jiang said, she took out a bag hidden in the front and handed it over: "This is a set meal made by the chef alone for you! Do you think it is the same as KFC? I guarantee it tastes better than them."

Liu Xinke was stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed on the bag for a few seconds, then she came back to her senses and said, "Thank you, store manager!"

"As long as you like it!"

The roar of the motorcycle gradually faded away. Liu Xinke picked up the fast food and took a look - it was really the same as KFC. Even the ketchup packets inside were the same style as KFC.

She hung the bag on her schoolbag and walked under the old telephone pole. This telephone pole had been standing here for an unknown period of time, and it didn't look much different from five years ago.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the eaves, like the Milky Way pouring out a silver sand made of crystal. Liu Xinke raised his hand and took the silver sand in his hand, as if he really held the moonlight in his palm.

From the deep roadside came the gentle voice of a man singing a lullaby. She seemed to hear the night in her memory where the stars and moonlight intertwined five years ago.

that night—

Dad held her little hand and said he would take her to eat at KFC, which she had been missing for a long time.

She was so happy that she jumped out of the house. The bright moonlight covered the ground and illuminated her path. The stars in the sky were like cheering elves, and they all sprinkled their light on her body.

Although she had walked a long way, she was not tired at all. She circled around her father, sometimes running to the front, sometimes squatting behind, sometimes grabbing strange-looking stones on the roadside and giggling, like a little ostrich known for its endurance and long-distance running. .

Finally, we arrived at the fast food restaurant.

Even at night, the place was packed with people. The new foreign fast food could not contain the enthusiasm of the guests. It took a long time before they finally got a seat.

Dad bought a set meal and watched her eat it.

The taste she had never tasted before made her unforgettable. She greedily ate the chicken wings and then took a bite of the burger... She didn't like the taste of the burger. There was a weird sour sauce in it, but she still put the burger in her mouth. Swallowed it all in one bite.

Then, she ate the French fries one by one. The French fries had a completely different taste from the fried shredded potatoes her father made. They were fragrant and crunchy.
