Not a god

Chapter 67: Bean Meets a Ghost (18.1.22)

The next day, Chen Xi woke up when it was still dark, woken up by a phone call.

I picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, it was Bai Douzi. Then I looked at the time, it was a little after six in the morning.

"..." This unlucky child
Chen Xi raised his hand to take it, and a panicked voice came from the other side.

"Boss! The store seems to be haunted!"

Chen Xi took a deep breath and said, "I'm hanging up."

"Don't hang up, boss. I'm serious. It really is haunted!"

"What does that ghost look like?"

"Forget, forget..."

"I'll deduct 200 yuan from you for calling and disturbing your boss's rest in the morning."

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!"

When Douzi heard about the deduction of money, he was so anxious that his brain started working and he quickly recalled:
"She was so white and beautiful. When Douzi was about to turn off the lights in the store last night, she suddenly appeared in the store and smiled at him. It was so scary!"

"Then why didn't you tell me last night?"

"Last night, I was so scared that I hid in my bed immediately. The quilt my boss bought for me was so warm. I had never slept in such a warm quilt before, and I fell asleep accidentally..."

"..."

"Oh yeah! That ghost is a bit like the snowman at the door... Boss, could that snowman at the door have turned into a spirit?!"

"maybe."

Douzi was very nervous: "What should I do, boss?"

"I'll think of a way."

"Have you thought of any solution?"

"No, I'll think about it when I wake up, okay?"

"Then go to sleep!"

Chen Xi hung up the phone directly. He didn't want to bother with this unfortunate child for the time being and wanted to take another nap.

But ever since he got the life from Qi Huang, he has been extremely healthy, with abundant blood and energy, and a clear mind. When he woke up, he felt full of energy.

Physiologically, you don't need that much sleep, but psychologically, you feel a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, get up.

Today is the twenty-first day of the lunar year, which is also the Great Cold. When Chen Xi was a child in his hometown, there would be a year-end party on the Great Cold, which was very lively. But they are out of town now, and no matter what festival it is, the atmosphere in the city is always inferior to that in the countryside.

It was very cold on the Great Cold day, and there was a thick layer of snow outside.

Chen Xi dressed little Chen Yi as usual, with a lining inside and a dress outside.

"It's so cold, how are you taking care of the child? Look, Yiyi's hands are so cold... Oh? Is it so warm?"

Although the child's hand felt warm, there was a kind of coldness, as if the elders felt that you were cold. Ms. Jiang still gave him a severe scolding and then took little Chen Yi away.

After a while, he brought out a Gengar.

After little Chen Yi was put on the ground, she looked up at the adults, then looked down at herself. Oh, her clothes were too thick and she couldn't lower her head.

"Come on, Xiao Yiyi, grandma will take you downstairs to play!"

When little Chen Yi heard the word "play", her eyes sparkled. She looked up at Ms. Jiang and then at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi nodded at her, and she quickly ran to the study room on her short legs.

"Play, Yiyi, go play!" Then he took out a small shovel.

There is a sandy area downstairs. When Chen Xi or Wanwan take the baby for a walk, they let her dig in the sand by herself.

It takes half a day to dig dozens of holes in the sand.

"Yiyi plays with sand..."

Because he was too fat, he accidentally fell down. Also because he was as fat as a ball, not only was he not hurt after the fall, but he rolled on the ground for several times, and finally he miraculously stood up.

Chen Yi's eyes widened, looking confused as to what was going on.

I just felt dizzy, and then suddenly I ran forward a long distance, faster than I usually run!
She looked at the ground, a little unsure, squatted down, and tried to roll around with her butt sticking out, when she was picked up by Ms. Jiang. "Grandma is holding me."

Now that Ms. Jiang is back, there's someone to help take care of the child, so Chen Xi has some free time and is more leisurely than usual.

Assistant Chen happened to get up and came out with his neck twisted.

Chen Xi greeted: "Get up."

"Well, just got up."

"It's quite early."

"You're early too."

"It's a bit cold today."

"It's very cold today, right?"

"Yes, it's very cold today."

It’s not that the father and son have a bad relationship. Assistant Chen is just that kind of person. He always feels depressed when communicating with anyone.

Only someone like Ms. Jiang, who is a little bit of a show-off, could get along well with him when I was a child.

After Chen Xi finished washing up, he asked if they should go for a morning run together, and Assistant Chen agreed.

Chen Xi started very fast during the morning run, and communicated with Assistant Chen in nonsense literature while running.

It is taboo to talk while running, as talking will make you feel uncomfortable. However, Assistant Chen is a person who will subconsciously respond no matter how much nonsense others talk to him.

Before I knew it, I had run four or five laps around the community.

Many times when Assistant Chen was thinking about whether to take a break, Chen Xi would always notice it in advance and ask him something else.

After running nearly ten kilometers in half an hour, Assistant Chen was sweating profusely, supporting himself with his knees, and feeling a little exhausted.

Chen Xi even blamed him: "Just take a rest if you are tired. Why are you still holding on at your age?"

Well, now the relationship between father and son is really bad.

Everyone in the old neighborhood is familiar, and many people who have worked away from home are returning home as the Chinese New Year approaches. From a distance, I saw Ms. Jiang chatting with a group of aunts and grandmas, and little Chen Yi was playing with sand nearby.

Tianmingren is so popular now that even the aunties and grandmas can’t stop talking about Tianmingren.

"Oh, I really can't keep up with the times. My little Cong wants to play that game every day, but I tell him not to. My husband even says I have long hair but little knowledge, and asks me to play with him, but I won't play."

"Yeah, games are not as important as studying. My son Alan is the same, but he seems to have awakened some kind of destiny, it's called the destiny of moving mountains. Oh, his strength has really become much stronger!"

"My Xiao Cong is the same. He seems to be born to move mountains. He has the strength of a calf."

The woman said these words of disdain, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face and insisted:

"But what's the point of being so strong? You still need to study to have a bright future. Your Xiaoxi and Wanwan are more promising and will be admitted to Tianfu University."

Ms. Jiang just listened there in a dull voice, and when Chen Xi and Wan Wan's future were mentioned, she agreed dryly with one hand.

In fact, she had asked Chen Xi whether he had awakened any destiny. Chen Xi told her to just obey orders and become a little more alert.

It sounded so lame, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud!
Go back and tell Xiaoxi to play the game well and become better, otherwise how will she brag to others when she goes out in the future!

Chen Xi naturally had no idea that he was being targeted again.

After his morning run, he and Assistant Chen went to the store.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, business is good and Chen Xi is considering whether to hire another employee.

He hadn't reached the store yet, but he was looking at the store door from afar. A bloated white bean was kneeling in front of the snowman at the door, kowtowing continuously.

"Douzi is a good child. Douzi has never done anything bad. Sister Snowman, please don't harm Douzi. Douzi is timid. Douzi... Douzi will kowtow to you every day from now on!"

As he said this, he kowtowed three more times.

Snow Girl: "..."

　Wow, here is a book with a title similar to the store manager’s. Let me recommend it to everyone.
