Chapter 99 Being a happy person is cooler than success


    “The work log required us to deal with the bodies of two children, and there happened to be photos of the two children in the employee’s closet.”


    ??The photo is not placed flat in the closet, but leaning against the inner wall of the closet, as if worshiping the person in the photo.


    Gao Ming ran to the fresh food section of the supermarket and opened the huge freezers.


    "Do you think the body will be hidden in the freezer?" The glasses newcomer and Zhu Miaomiao also followed.


    "There was no blood or smell, so the body might have been refrigerated." Gao Ming moved the basket of yogurt away. He didn''t care at first, but when he glanced at the production date, he was stunned. For a moment, "The production date was ten years ago?"


    "Ten years ago?" Zhu Miaomiao took the drink. She opened the bottle cap and smelled it: "There is no peculiar smell. Is it a printing error?"


    Picking up other products, Gao Ming found that the production date of everything in the supermarket was ten years ago.


    “Why are they all from ten years ago?”


    The bell hanging at the door of the supermarket rang, and the countdown on the electronic screen stopped. A shirtless old man walked into the supermarket with an undershirt in his hand. His whole body was soaked by the heavy rain, and his skin was soaked and turned white.


    “Xiao Gao! I’m here to give you money!” The uncle straightened his hair and spoke in a loud voice. His shout diluted the depressing atmosphere in the supermarket a lot.


    Gao Ming and the other three looked at each other in confusion. None of them knew who Xiao Gao was.


    "I''ll go over and take a look first, while you two continue to look for the body." Zhu Miaomiao hid the fire ax behind her. She walked to the side of the shelf, leaned out half of her body, and held the fire ax firmly with five fingers.


    “Jingjing, didn’t Xiao Gao go to work today?” The uncle was very familiar with her, but he seemed to think Zhu Miaomiao was someone else and walked over directly.


    "Quietly?" Zhu Miaomiao was a firefighter before and had never encountered such a situation. She watched the old man approaching step by step, and her already stupid mouth couldn''t say a word.


    The old man''s skin was swollen. It didn''t look like he had been exposed to rain at all, but more like he had soaked in the pool for a long time.


    "Uncle, do you need anything?" Gao Ming walked out from behind Zhu Miaomiao and held Zhu Miaomiao''s shaking shoulders.


    "Are you drunk too? You didn''t even call me uncle? You call me uncle?" The old man walked towards Gaoming. Zhu Miaomiao was extremely nervous. This was the first time she faced a "ghost" in an abnormal event.


    “Uncle, I’m at work. I’ll have a drink with you soon.” Gao Ming reacted quickly: “I didn’t expect that it’s raining heavily and you would come here to give money.”


    "Uncle Li, I''m not a deadbeat." The old man laughed, very generous. He took out a handful of coins from his trouser pocket and gave it to Gao Ming: "Count it, I saved this with great effort. Yes, the old lady is becoming more and more strict."


    “Your little treasury?” Gao Ming did not expect that the old man looked to be in his seventies and still hid private money.


    "Stop talking nonsense and go get me a glass of wine to make me happy." The old man seemed to have been exposed his secret, and his old face was a bit helpless. He was more anxious than his life, and directly guarded beside the wine vat in the supermarket: " You must keep this supermarket open, so I can drink some wine."


    Minlong Supermarket is not large, and most of the customers here are old neighbors from Minlong Street. The store still maintains the style of many years ago.


    After collecting the money, Gao Ming walked to the wine jar naturally. He found the wine grape and gave the old man a drink: "Do you need to put it in it?"


    “What you said means that I dare to take it home.” The old man waved to Gao Ming impatiently: “I will drink it here. Drinking a little wine on a rainy day is probably a beautiful thing.”


    "If you don''t take it back, it''s too much." From the perspective of health, Gao Ming poured back half a basket. The old man looked on helplessly, just like Fa Cai who had his cat food taken away.


    ?Handed half a glass of white wine to the old man, Gao Ming casually picked up a bag of peanuts from the shelf: "Uncle Li, I''m treating you."


    "My retirement salary is so high, do I need you to treat me?" The old man took a sip of wine, and the wrinkles on his face felt smoother: "It''s so comfortable. If you are not happy, your life is in vain. I will give you the peanut money next time. ”


    “As long as you’re happy.” Gao Ming also laughed.


    "By the way, how are you and Jingjing doing?" The old man came to Gao Ming''s side in a gossipy tone: "You are obviously on duty today, and this girl came to accompany you. This has been made very clear. You should seize the opportunity quickly. . And don’t let Jingjing spill the beans. If the old lady knows that I’m here to drink, you’ll be in trouble too.”


    Gao Ming looked at the schedule on the wall. The old man even wrote down who worked every day just to drink.


    "Okay, I''ll drink here by myself, you should go and get busy." Uncle Li was very free and easy, humming a tune, sipping the wine in the glass against the heavy rain outside the window.


    ?The bell rang again soon, and a female office worker wearing a mask walked into the supermarket. She was a little fat, didn''t like to talk very much, and was holding an umbrella. She gave people a very sociophobic feeling.


    After going to the food area to pick out a lot of food, the woman came to the checkout counter with her head lowered: "Can you heat this up for me?"


    "Okay." Gao Ming went to heat the woman''s lunch box. The woman put away her umbrella and put it in a plastic bag to prevent rainwater from dripping in the supermarket.


    Even though she held an umbrella, the woman''s clothes were still completely soaked, and her face was very pale, swollen and pale.


    Finding a seat to sit down, the woman skillfully took out the mobile phone holder, fixed the mobile phone, and started live broadcasting in the corner of the supermarket where she was eating.


    The moment the camera opened, there was no trace of fatigue on her face, and she used a very funny expression to vividly introduce what she was going to eat tonight.


    The social fear just now is now desperately interacting with every barrage. She is eating big mouthfuls. She looks very satisfied and the food is delicious.


    The woman was smiling from beginning to end. After eating a lot, her body leaned unnaturally and she gently pressed her lower abdomen with one hand.


    "Do you want to continue eating?" Gao Ming was holding the heated lunch box. He could see that the woman was not feeling well.


    “Thank you, thank you.” The woman thanked her repeatedly, took the box lunch and started eating again. While eating, she said it was delicious and she was very happy.


    Gao Ming glanced at the woman''s phone. The barrage on the screen made people feel suffocated. Some said she was a pig, some scolded her for eating fake food, and some said she was a beauty monster. Her face and bowl were sometimes big and sometimes small. Others wanted to see her wet figure.


    Eating the lunch with great effort, the woman still had a smile on her face. She was dressed in business attire and finished the last bite of her meal.


    “Today’s challenge is over, thirty seconds earlier than yesterday! If there is anything else the babies want me to eat, you can send me a private message. Bye.”


    Turning off the live broadcast, the smile on the woman''s face became stiff. She retched, covered her belly, and leaned on the table.    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Three words suddenly rang in her ears. The woman raised her head and saw Gao Ming holding a freshly opened dry towel: "Wipe the water from your hair."


    ?Taking the towel unconsciously, the woman bit her lips. Her eyes were a little moist, and the grievances she had finally suppressed just now seemed to come up again.


    She picked up a towel and covered her face, as if wiping her hair that was wet from the rain.


    “Are you working part-time?”


    “Well, I work during the day, and come here after get off work to challenge mukbang.” The woman’s voice returned to calmness: “My specialty is a big appetite, but there are too many people who can eat better than me and are prettier.”


    "Indeed, nothing is easy." Gao Ming sat next to the woman: "If you are in a hurry for money, I can help you..."


    "I''m not in a hurry to use money." The woman looked at Gao Ming and showed a different smile than before. She was a little shy and introverted: "I have been afraid of talking to people since I was a child because I am fat and have low self-esteem, so I want to change Try to be a hard-working, responsible, confident and handsome person yourself.”


    "Then your training method is a bit extreme." Gao Ming and the female mukbang were talking and laughing. In the distance, Zhu Miaomiao and the newbie with glasses were risking their lives to find the corpse. The atmosphere on the two sides was very different.


    The customers in the store did not leave, the bell rang again for the third time, and a man with clown makeup entered the house carrying a bag.


    ?The rain has washed away most of the paint on his face, and even with makeup on, you can probably roughly see his facial features.


    “No one is allowed to move!”


    The clown put his hand into the bag. Before he could say the next sentence, Uncle Li came to him happily with a drink: "Zhang Ding, what are you doing in your store? Your face is painted like Zhang Ding''s. Just like Cao Cao who was beaten."


    "What the hell? Did you recognize me? I paid someone to do my makeup." Zhang Ding held the bag and stood on tiptoes: "I also wore a pair of underwear to increase my height."


    “You are so old, you are less worried than me every day.” Uncle Li held the wine and shouted to Gao Ming and Zhu Miaomiao: “Xiao Gao, take your boss away quickly.”


    "Boss?" Gao Ming looked at the rather embarrassed man, then glanced at the customers around him. He counted the number of people and suddenly remembered a piece of news from ten years ago.


    The supermarket in the middle of Minlong Street was rebuilt once. The previous owner was said to be very nice and even appeared in newspapers.


    ??After wiping his face, Zhang Ding looked at the paint on his hands. He was not afraid of making a fool of himself and walked directly to the fat female mukbang: "Are you done with the live broadcast?"


    “Yes, it just ended.”


    "I originally wanted to create some show effects for you." Zhang Ding patted the table and felt it was a pity: "You have been here to eat for several days, and I saw that you have a sad face every day, so I wanted to give you a surprise. , make you happy, help you gain popularity, and also advertise for my supermarket, a win-win situation!”


    “Your surprise is quite sloppy.” Gao Ming really couldn’t hold it back and complained.


    There has been nothing unusual about this unusual incident so far, at least in his opinion.


    “I really prepared it carefully.” Zhang Ding doesn’t have the airs of a boss at all. He seems to treat every customer who comes to the supermarket as a family member. Not only his service attitude, he wants to make everyone happy.


    "I have received your kindness." The female mukbang woman said with a wry smile: "Last time you pretended to be a ghost late at night, hiding behind the shelves and throwing things away. My few fans thought you were a **** of mine, and they even turned against you. ”


    “Don’t I act like one?” Zhang Ding stood up from his seat: “Give me another chance.”


    “Brother Zhang, why don’t you find someone else to help you?” The female food broadcaster waved her hands repeatedly.


    “We are all neighbors, don’t let anyone out.” Zhang Ding took out a wet plan. Before he could speak, the supermarket bell rang again.


    Hearing footsteps outside, Uncle Li and supermarket owner Zhang Ding, who were drinking, looked at each other with extremely serious expressions.


    "broken!"


    The air in the room was solid and extremely depressing. His heartbeat began to accelerate, and his muscles tightened: "Is danger coming?"


    Uncle Li took the wine glass and turned around and ran towards the supermarket. Zhang Ding took out a tissue and quickly wiped the paint on his face, also wanting to hide in the supermarket.


    Gao Ming''s heart beat faster and faster, and he stared at the supermarket door.


    A moment later, a thin old lady appeared there. She was wearing reading glasses and a floral coat. She looked frail.


    ??The old lady took two umbrellas and walked to the place where bulk wine was sold. She took a look at the wine grapes and smelled the smell of wine in the air, and she immediately understood.


    “Stop hiding! Go home and eat!”


    Seeing no one answered, the old lady walked towards Gao Ming.


    Gao Ming was wearing a store clerk''s uniform. He slowly lowered his hand on his heart, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.


    what do I do?


    He turned his head and looked inside the supermarket. Zhang Ding and Uncle Li were hiding somewhere.


    ?Seeing the old lady getting closer, Gao Ming quietly hid the comb on the shelf behind his back, and then took the initiative to walk towards the old lady.


    "Aunt, Uncle Li did come here just now to have a drink." Before the old lady could get angry, Gao Ming quickly added: "But think about it, it''s raining so heavily and Uncle Li didn''t even take an umbrella, just to have a drink. ?”


    Without giving the old lady a chance to speak, Gao Ming put the wooden comb in front of the old lady: "Uncle Li knew he was wrong and bought you a wooden comb. This is our new arrival. Use it to comb your hair and massage your scalp. It’s great for your hair.”


    Looking at the comb, what the old lady wanted to say was interrupted several times by Gao Ming. Although she was still sullen, her tone slowed down a little: "Did you collude?"


    “How can you!” Gao Ming was really wronged. He had just changed into this set of clothes less than half an hour ago.
