Chapter 140: The Breakfast Vendor
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang Zian didn’t know where Little Celery lived; he only knew that she came from the north. So after he left the shop, he wandered in that direction.
When he had almost reached the corner of the street, he saw Little Celery running towards him, holding a bag of nuts in her hand.
Today, her two ponytails were pointing 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock on top of her head.
"Little Celery!" He waved at her.
"Oh! Brother Manager!" Little Celery responded with excitement, covering her little mouth.
"Be careful when you cross the street," he reminded her.
"Yes, I know!" Little Celery nodded. She waited until the traffic light turned green and the cars stopped. She carefully looked left and right, then ran across the street.
"Why didn’t you stay in the shop, Brother Manager?" Little Celery ran to him and asked. "Who is taking care of all the pets?"
Zhang Zian squatted down and answered, "Actually… I have some matters to deal with these days. I will have someone else help me."
Little Celery nodded as if she understood. "I know! My mom said that adults were very busy and they had a lot of stuff to deal with. Don’t worry, Brother Manager, Little Celery can help too. It will be no problem for me to sweep the floor."
Zhang Zian laughed. "That’s ok. I am ing to tell you not to e by the shop for the next few days."
"Oh! Why?" Little Celery raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the pet shop.
"Because the person who is helping at the shop now hates little kids. If you go there, you will get yelled at. So don’t worry, after I finish my stuff in a few days, you can e back again to play," explained Zhang Zian.
"Wuwu... Little Celery will not make trouble…" she said unwillingly, with a sad face.
"I know you are a good girl. This has nothing to do with making trouble or not. That person hates little children overall. So wait for a few days, Little Celery. I will ask that person to take extra good care of the hamster and squirrel," he forted her.
"When are you ing back, Brother Manager?"
Zhang Zian thought for a while, then responded, "Is this the only road for you to go to school, Little Celery?"
She nodded.
"When I e back, I will wait for you here like today. But before that, please don’t go to the pet shop. It will be very scary if the person gets angry. I am afraid that he will put his anger onto the hamster and squirrel."
The sentence seemed to have worked on Little Celery. She suddenly opened her eyes widely and nodded, "Little Celery understands now! I will wait for you to e back here."
"Ok, you understand. Hurry up and go to school. It is pretty late now." He patted her little head.
"Yes, bye-bye, Brother Manager!" Little Celery started running towards the school while looking back and waving at Zhang Zian.
"Stop waving and watch the road ahead. Don’t fall!" yelled Zhang Zian.
"Yes!"
Little Celery was pretty easy to deal with, which made Zhang Zian feel a little bit superior about his IQ.
He hesitated for a while and decided not to tell Sun Xiaomeng. She usually only stopped by in the morning, and sometimes not even that, so she would not notice. It would be even more trouble if she found that he told a lie.
He decided to delay the shop’s opening till the stores around him opened at around 9 o’clock.
Zhang Zian walked back and saw that the breakfast vendor across the street had started selling breakfast when he had almost arrived his shop.
He then crossed the street, found a chair and sat down. "Please give me a big bowl of dumplings."
"Sure! Right away."
The middle-aged couple worked very well together as a team even without munication: One was in charge of cooking while the other worked on cashiering and other things. Zhang Zian heard other customers call them "Grandpa Li" and "Grandma Li
