Lucas Yin and the Trials of Youth Chapter 4

Although Lucas Yin and Ethan Nie were kids, he didn't come to the store very often because he was too active. If he bumped into the counters and shelves, the consequences would be devastating.

After getting up early in the morning and washing up, Lucas Yin knew what kind of virtue he had, so he consciously moved a bench and sat at the door of the store to welcome guests. He tried not to stay in the room. After sitting for a while, he felt sleepy. He shouted into the room: "Grandpa, here you go." Give me some work to do."

Mr. Clark said, "School starts the day after tomorrow, go do your homework."

Lucas Yin pretended not to hear and continued to sit. At about nine o'clock, the antique market started to fill up with people. When there were more people, he became more energetic. He looked at this and that, and moved to the side to avoid blocking the door.

Ethan Nie was sorting out the ingredients he bought yesterday in the warehouse. After sorting them out, he went to the foyer to look at the counter. In the antique business, one piece cannot be sold in three years, but one piece can last three years. However, his skewers are not antiques. The ingredients are so good. If it's good, it'll sell.

Lucas Yin saw Ethan Nie looking at the counter and went back. He sat down next to him with his legs crossed and his hands on the edge of the counter. Ethan Nie looked at him and said, "Why don't you sit at the door?"

"It's not interesting. I can come in and chat with you, or watch you sell goods."

When a few customers come in, you don't have to worry about it, just greet them if you want to wear them. A long-haired beauty said she wanted a bracelet and asked if she had any recommendations. Ethan Nie gave some introductions: "There are full beads and beaded ones. Which kind do you like? Girls with fair skin will buy more Nanhong ones to complement their skin tone. "

Lucas Yin asked from the side: "What is Nanhong?"

"Southern red agate," Ethan Nie explained, and then picked it up for the guests to try on. "This one has a circle of patterned round beads, and two water-patterned barrel beads in the middle. It is strawberry red and is suitable for girls to wear."

Lucas Yin said: "The yellow persimmons and red strawberries make me hungry."

Ethan Nie ignored it and took out another necklace: "This is a thin rose gold chain with double links of Hetian jade. The color is transparent and white and matches the string. If you want to wear it yourself, go with this type."

Lucas Yin asked: "Is it expensive?"

Finally, all the bracelets and necklaces were sold. As soon as the customer left, Ethan Nie picked up Lucas Yin, picked up dozens of bracelets from the drawer on a jewelry tray, and said, "Sell them at the door, three for one hundred yuan." "

Lucas Yin was very happy to have a job, so he went out with the plate in his hand. When he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Three pieces for one hundred yuan? Those two pieces just now cost three thousand. Are you trying to rip me off?"

Ethan Nie sat down and propped up his chin: "If you speak louder, people who don't know will think it's a shady shop. Do you still want to eat lunch?"

"I haven't eaten in the morning!" Lucas Yin opened the curtain and went out. He sat on two benches, one for each, with the plate in front of him. He yelled, "Special offer on weekends, three pieces for one hundred yuan, top quality jade, agate and field jade, limited quantity. , see you after it’s sold out!”

Ethan Nie came out within two minutes, stuffed a peach into his mouth, and said, "Push your stomach, stop yelling."

Lucas Yin ate the peaches silently, and Ethan Nie explained: "The materials inside are all carefully selected, designed, and then hand-made. These are purchased from the wholesale market and sold at bargain prices."

"Whatever the purchase price is, don't lose money." Lucas Yin stretched out his hand to sort out the skewers.

Ethan Nie replied in a low voice: "The purchase price is fifteen or three."

Lucas Yin stared straight after hearing this and shouted in a low voice: "Damn, you said it's not a black shop, how much does the Duobao chain you gave me cost? I plan to pass it on to my son in the future. If it's less than fifty, I won't pass it on!"

Ethan Nie slapped the other person on the back of the head: "You still want to pass it on to your son? Pass it on to your son. If he does what you want, he will definitely need it!"

Lucas Yin was eating peaches with one hand and covering the back of his head with the other: "Hurry in and don't stop me from setting up my stall."

"Don't shout nonsense. It's like selling watermelons in the vegetable market." Ethan Nie stood up and went in, muttering, "I can't shout anything good, I'm illiterate."

Lucas Yin wiped his mouth after eating and got angry. He was illiterate even though he was illiterate. He faced the people coming and going and shouted again: "Look at the bracelet, Jade, Agate, pearl, you won't let me, I won't let you, they are all piled up, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow."

Ethan Nie was holding the teapot in the room and almost burst into tears when he heard Lucas Yin continue: "There are all kinds of bracelets on the plate, with names and without names. They are scattered on the plate as if they are free, as if they are free. Three pieces for one hundred dollars."

Caleb Zhu smashed the store after hearing this.

Lucas Yin was selling more and more enthusiastically. He took a few mouthfuls of rice at noon and then continued to set up the stall. It was the hottest at one or two o'clock. He was sweating all over while sitting outside. Ethan Nie came out and said, "I'll have heat stroke later." Come in quickly."

In the afternoon, Mr. Clark was looking after the store. The two of them were in the machine room. Lucas Yin took a shower and felt refreshed. Now he was lying on the workbench watching Ethan Nie work. In front of Ethan Nie was a box of carved beads, ready to be polished.

"Shanshan, from now on you will be responsible for doing the work, and I will be responsible for selling, okay?" Lucas Yin thought of school starting the day after tomorrow, and then thought of a future with little content, feeling a little panicked.

"You want to work at my house? Okay, basic salary plus commission, and we'll take care of lunch." Ethan Nie lowered his head. Lucas Yin was not happy when he heard it, and thought to himself: "Why are you working part-time? This store will definitely be sold to you and Xiaoyu in the future. Then I will contribute some money and we will open a new one together."

What did you say? Oliver Nie called "Brother" in the courtyard, and then came in: "Which of you was talking about me just now? I heard it. By the way, Brother Yangyang, Aunt Xian asked you to go home and write before dark. Operation."

Lucas Yin suddenly became smart: "Did my mother come to you specifically to send a message? Or did you go to my house?"

Ethan Nie laughed out loud: "Let's go find Sister Jie."

"I don't know two questions, and I want to ask Lauren." Oliver Nie lowered her head a little shyly, but as soon as she lowered her head, she was hit with a fist. Lucas Yin said: "You call me Lauren by her first name? I dare you to think so, little brat."

Oliver Nie was just a few months younger than them and about the same height as Ethan Nie. He was a little unconvinced, but when he was about to reply, Ethan Nie looked up and shut up.

Lucas Yin pressed forward: "Are you just here to deliver a message?"

Oliver Nie said: "My mother bought a pair of shoes for my grandfather. I am mainly here to deliver the shoes. Besides, I can come even if nothing happens. This is my family's store."

"This is grandpa's shop, and it may be Xiaoshan's shop from now on!" Lucas Yin suddenly burst out with territorial awareness. After the outburst, he felt that he had too much to do, so he muttered in a low voice, "Your brother comes to work all day long, and you don't do anything." Damn, that's not fair."

Ethan Nie finally finished polishing. During this time, there was silence for two or three minutes. Oliver Nie and Lucas Yin stared at each other without saying a word. They were both unhappy. He wiped the tools and said, "Oliver Nie, go look after the store for a while. Give in to Brother Yangyang."

Oliver Nie went crazy: "Brother, brother?"

Ethan Nie asked, "Have you never heard of Kong Rong giving away pears?"

The two of them were left in the machine room again. Oliver Nie went to the hall to sit at the counter angrily. Lucas Yin lowered his head and picked at the bruises on his arms. After picking at it for a while, he suddenly stood up and left.

He walked into the hall and looked at Oliver Nie, then moved over and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I didn't want to get angry at you just now. I just felt that your brother had worked so hard, so he was a little sensitive. Don't be angry with me." gas."

"You're not angry, and you're not an outsider." Oliver Nie lowered her head and saw the chain on Lucas Yin's feet, "It took me half a month to sketch it, so it's for you."

Lucas Yin didn't hear the second half of the sentence, apologized and left. The three of them were here all afternoon, and Mr. Clark was completely free. When they went home together in the evening, Oliver Nie rode a mountain bike, and Ethan Nie rode an electric bicycle with Lucas Yin.

After returning home, after eating and taking a shower, the third aunt cleaned the two pairs of sneakers and put them away, saying, "Wear the shoelaces by yourself, put them away after wearing them, school is finally about to start, and I don't do anything serious at home every day."

Oliver Nie rushed out of the room: "What is the receipt for the 20,000 yuan? Why did you sign me up for a cram school again?"

"What the hell, I just signed up for one subject." The third aunt put away the clothes that had been hung up. "There are many classes, so Xiaoshan will go to them too. When school starts, let's look at other subjects. Your English is not good either."

Ethan Nie said: "I won't go. I don't understand spending so much money. Let Xiaoyu go."

The third uncle came out of the room: "Let's not talk about this. After school starts, you are not allowed to sneak out to ride motorcycles at night. I know you are still gambling with money. If you don't have enough money to ask for it from your family, you don't have to pay the tuition yourself."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ethan Nie replied, then sat down and started lacing his shoelaces.

When it was late at night and the lights in the bedroom were turned off, Oliver Nie lay on the bed and sent a message. She edited "Good Night" and sent it to Lauren. After sending it, she felt happy.

Ethan Nie had just closed his eyes in the other room when his cell phone rang twice. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Lucas Yin: Don't let your brother harass my sister!

He replied: The child is too old to be taken care of, good night.

Lucas Yin replied again: Good night, come here.

"It's so annoying." Ethan Nie said as he got up and went to the alley next door in flip-flops. At the entrance of the alley, he saw Lucas Yin sitting on the threshold. He walked over and sat next to him, "Aren't you sleepy? You've been there all day. It's like being wound up."

Lucas Yin said: "School starts the day after tomorrow. I wanted to discuss with you tonight whether to choose literature or science, but when I arrived at the door, I heard my third aunt talking about registering for classes, so I didn't go in."

It's quite expensive to make up a course now. Lucas Yin knew that Ethan Nie wouldn't spend that much money from others, but he didn't expect that Ethan Nie also paid for the tuition. When the third uncle said that he was gambling on motorcycles, he almost had high blood pressure.

"Holy Sh!t, what are you doing?" Ethan Nie was a little hysterical and was suddenly hugged.

Lucas Yin pressed the opponent's head against his chest hard and said: "You have such a peaceful personality and never challenge others. Although I always say that you are a coward, I never think it's bad for you to do this. Don't do anything to yourself just for money." The things you like are dangerous."

Ethan Nie was almost suffocated: "Let me go first, you idiot."

"No, I'm a brother. Just listen to me." Lucas Yin was tired of raising his chest and waist, and he stroked the back of Ethan Nie's head in a decent manner, "I apologized to Xiaoyu this afternoon not for anything else, but because I was afraid of really offending him. What if you don't have a good time in their home?"

Ethan Nie stopped moving and held Lucas Yin's waist.

Lucas Yin was touched by himself: "Although the third uncle and the third aunt are very nice people, they are always dependent on others. Don't worry, I don't seem to be reliable, but I am courageous and strong-willed. I will always be able to make a living in the future, as long as I have a bite to eat." Then you won't be hungry."

Ethan Nie smiled into Lucas Yin's chest: "Thank you, I will count on you from now on."

Finally they separated. Lucas Yin held his vest to fan himself. After a moment of silence, he asked softly: "What about that? Where are you going to ride your motorcycle? I want to go too. This activity is obviously more suitable for me."

Ethan Nie stood up and left: "I knew it wasn't just sensational. I'm so bored that I'm sweating."

"But what I said is true." Lucas Yin also walked back to the courtyard, "After all the romanticism, realism is more exciting. There are quite a lot of things."

Ethan Nie walked down the steps and walked outside. Lucas Yin walked inside. After walking a few steps, he stopped at the same time and shouted back in unison: "Are you going to do your homework tomorrow?"

The two of them laughed out loud and shouted "good night" at the same time.
