After the old man left, Qin Feng also pushed the cart along the night market to the north. It was already 11:30 p. m. Most of the stalls on the street had already closed. Only a few places were still open.
Qin Feng pushed the cart to the entrance of a shop. He parked the cart at the entrance and then entered the shop called Old Liu's Stall. The shop wasn't very big, and the kitchen at the back was less than 50 square meters. The layout of the shop was also very simple. Other than a few tables and benches, there was only a 19-inch old-fashioned color TV in the corner of the shop.
There were no more customers in the shop at this time. A couple was wearing aprons and cleaning the house. The couple were about 50 years old. Because they had been exposed to oil and smoke for a long time, their skin looked a little dark and dry.
The middle-aged man raised his head and saw Qin Feng standing at the entrance of the shop. He smiled and greeted him,"Little Feng, why are you so late today? I thought you weren't coming.”
"Uncle Liu, my business is better tonight, so I'm a little late.”Qin Feng explained. Of course, he wouldn't tell Uncle Liu that he had met the old man. It wasn't a lie. It was just that the old man had told him not to tell anyone about him.
"Oh, it's a good thing that business is good. Oh right, quickly push the car in. We're about to close and go home. Let's go together.”After Uncle Liu heard Qin Feng's explanation, he didn't pursue the matter further. However, when he heard Qin Feng say that his business was better, he revealed a happy smile on his face.
Qin Feng walked out of the door and pushed his cart into Uncle Liu's shop. Then, he found a rag and started working with them.
"Little Feng, you can rest. Your Uncle Liu and I can do it ourselves.”The middle-aged woman who was busy cleaning up the table saw Qin Feng also helping them with the cleaning cloth, so she hurriedly stopped him.
"It's okay, Auntie Liu. It's not tiring anyway. It's getting late. Hurry up and finish your work. Go home and rest early.”Qin Feng hurriedly explained when he saw that Aunt Liu did not want him to help.
"That's true. Then I'll have to trouble Little Feng.”Aunt Liu did not stop him. She only looked at Qin Feng with a trace of heartache in her eyes.
"What trouble is there? If it weren't for Uncle Liu and Auntie Liu taking care of our family these past few years, I don't know what would have happened. If we're talking about trouble, it's my family that's troubling you two.”Qin Feng's eyes are filled with sincerity.
"We're all neighbors, why are you talking about this? Besides, I still remember that Feifei was harassed by hooligans at home. You fought with those hooligans when you saw them, and in the end, you were injured.”Uncle Liu recalled.
"Hehe, that's all in the past. Why mention him?”Qin Feng also thought of that incident from a few years ago.
"Hurry up and go home to rest. Xiao Feng still has classes tomorrow.”Aunt Liu saw that Old Liu and Qin Feng had forgotten about the work at hand while chatting, so she reminded them. Qin Feng and Old Liu smiled awkwardly and continued to work.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were Qin Feng's neighbors. When Qin Feng's family moved here a few years ago, they were unfamiliar with the place. Thanks to Uncle Liu's family's care, they were able to settle down here. Even Qin Feng's mother's barbecue stall was a place that Uncle Liu had helped to get through his connections.
In the evening, Uncle Liu asked Qin Feng to put his cart in his shop. This way, it would be much more convenient to set up the stall the next day.
Uncle Liu's name was Liu Fu, and Aunt Liu's name was Sun Yue `e. Both of them were kind-hearted and kind people. Although Uncle Liu's family was not very rich, they had rented a shop in the night market. Their business was quite good. Although they wouldn't save much money in a year, their lives were quite rich. Moreover, Uncle Liu's daughter, Liu Feifei, was going to graduate from East Ocean University next year and work. By then, Uncle Liu's family's living standard would be greatly improved. After all, East Ocean University needed a lot of tuition every year.
After a while, the shop was done. Uncle Liu locked the door of the shop. The couple and Qin Feng walked towards the west area. The west area did not have a rich nightlife like the east area. Most people were already asleep. Although there were street lamps on the dilapidated streets, most of them were not lit because of years of disrepair. Only a few were still emitting a faint yellow light.
There were very few people on the road. Most of them were people who had just returned home after working overtime until late at night. They lived at the bottom of society. Although they worked hard, their prospects were still bleak. There were also those who knew that they had no hope of making it big, so they got drunk every night. They had just returned from a bar or a dance club. They walked unsteadily on the bumpy streets. Occasionally, some people got drunk and fell on the road. They let themselves lie on the road. Anyway, there were no cars passing by here. Then they would spout nonsense and swear.
"Little Feng, there's still a month before the exams. How are your preparations? At this time, coming to the stall every night will affect your revision.”Qin Feng and the other two were walking on the old street under the dim yellow streetlights. Uncle Liu asked with concern. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu only had one daughter and no son. Moreover, their daughter was still in university and did not come home often. Therefore, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu treated Qin Feng like their own son.
"I don't think so. I didn't miss out on anything in class, so I don't need to make up for it too much. As long as I perform normally, I think I can still get a good result.”Qin Feng explained. His grades in school were still very good, and his studies were very solid, so he did not have to worry about affecting his studies.
"Little Feng, have you ever thought about which school to apply for?”Aunt Liu heard Qin Feng's confident answer and asked with concern.
"Yeah, I want to go to East Ocean University, but I don't know if I can get in.”Qin Feng said with uncertainty.
"You'll definitely get in. Little Feng is so smart, you'll definitely get in.”Aunt Liu encouraged Qin Feng. At the same time, she was happy for Qin Feng. After all, East Ocean University was one of the top universities in the country. As long as he could enter the city there, his future would be bright.
"East Ocean University is not bad. Sister Feifei is studying there. If you get in, you'll be her schoolmate. You won't be familiar with her at first, so she can take care of you.”Uncle Liu agreed. He sounded as if Qin Feng was already a student of East Ocean University and was full of confidence in Qin Feng.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard." Qin Feng clenched his fists and said firmly. When he thought of Liu Feifei, he felt a warmth in his heart. It seemed that he had not seen this big sister next door for a long time. He missed her a little too.
"Xiao Feng, I heard from your Aunt Liu that there were two girls helping out at your stall at night. Who are they? Are they your girlfriends?”Uncle Liu suddenly remembered that his wife said that when she went out to buy vegetables at night, she passed by Qin Feng's stall and saw two girls helping there, so he asked nosily.
"Oh, it's just a classmate. I happened to meet him tonight, so I stayed here for a while.”Qin Feng groaned in his heart. He didn't expect Uncle Liu to be so gossipy at this age, so he explained.
"Don't be embarrassed. It's normal to have a girlfriend now. You're almost twenty years old and will graduate in a month.”Of course, Uncle Liu didn't believe what Qin Feng said, so he lied.
"Uncle Liu, you're really wrong this time. They're just classmates. Moreover, their family seems to be very rich. The gap between us is so big.”Qin Feng saw that Uncle Liu was stubborn, so he explained from another angle.
"Yes, Xiao Feng is right. It's not good for a girl to be too rich. Even if she gets married in the future, Xiao Feng will have no status at home and will suffer.”When Aunt Liu heard Qin Feng say this, she quickly acknowledged him.
"Sigh, you're all thinking too much. Who cares if he's wronged or not? She's not my girlfriend, so it has nothing to do with me.”Qin Feng said in a somewhat frenzied manner.
"Really?" Uncle Liu asked suspiciously.
"No." Qin Feng firmly shook his head.
" That's strange. Isn't that your personality?" Uncle Liu muttered in confusion.
