0022 Chapter Line up for the annual card
"Wow, there are people queuing in front of our store?" My dad was driving, unable to believe his eyes.
My mother was browsing her phone, but she didn't raise her head: "That's the team at the Wang family steamed bun shop. Their steamed buns are good. Before going to work in the morning, there was a long queue?"
"oh!"
My father was relieved and the car continued to move forward: "No, it seems that there is really a queue at our doorstep."
"Are you stupid? Our store has not opened yet, why are there anyone queuing up?" My mother raised her head from her phone, "Well, the Wang family's steamed bun business is so good, and they are all queuing up to the door of our store?"
"I heard from Xiaobai that Wang Xiaomeng might be admitted to the National Potential Academy in September 1st. The news came out, and it was inevitable that there were many people queuing up." My father said in an envious tone.
"Don't say this at home. My son is working hard enough. He gets up and exercises at dawn."
"That's right, I've never seen him get up so early before."
"Some experts say that as long as you are under 18 years old and as long as you fight to squeeze yourself out, you will have a great chance of awakening your potential." My mother was full of expectation.
The car slowly drove over and became closer. If you trust your eyes, your parents should judge that there was indeed a queue in front of their store.
But my parents couldn't believe it.
"It seems that they are all from our Zhuye Community." My father began to hesitate.
This team is indeed at the door of their own, but the question is, what are they going to do?!
My mother didn't look at her phone at all, she stretched out her head from the car window and greeted some people.
My parents used to work in the Construction Industry Group Company, and they used to be colleagues with some people, and they lived in the same community, so most of them were familiar with each other.
"Boss He, you heartless guy, open the door quickly. I want to apply for a card. After applying for the card, I want to go to work?" A middle-aged woman scolded.
"That's right, your family called me so late last night. Why didn't you open the door early today?" A bald man with a briefcase complained, but he had a smile on his face. "Fortunately, I don't have to go to the company to check in today, so I go directly to the construction site."
"Mr. He, Boss Zhang, congratulations to your son for awakening his potential! Yesterday, Security Guard Qiu washed your car for your house. Haha, the son at home is just a suffocating." said a fat man with a big belly.
My dad went to stop the car, but he couldn't make a sound for a while.
Although my mother opened the car window and explained to the neighbors, no one listened to her.
Children who have awakened their abilities will be sought after by all parents. They are like the top geniuses who were admitted to Peking University Youth University or Harvard, the United States, and were highly anticipated.
When the car stopped, my mother was a little afraid to get out: "Lao Zhang, what happened?" My mother's voice was incredible.
"What my son did." The father looked deep in thinking about philosophical issues, "Think about the evil things my son did last night, paying for the doors downstairs to change the doors downstairs, and taking care of the housework of another family. His behavior is suspicious and unreasonable."
"We are forced to divorce!" My mother made a pistol-shaped finger with her right hand and pointed her forehead.
"Son... awakened some...unusual ability..." The father was hesitant, suspicious and tentative tone.
But my mother had already got off the car and was radiant. She swept away the timidity and surprise in the car, as if she had changed her own.
The door of the beauty salon opened, and neighbors rushed in. No one lined up anymore. Everyone was basically acquaintances. After a few jokes, they were still lined up. Those who were eager to go to work were clamoring to do it first. Those who were queuing first felt that they had suffered a loss and refused to let go. Everyone was rushing around the counter and made passers-by stretch their necks and watch through the large glass wall to the ground.
My dad hasn't entered the store yet. This is too strange. It doesn't make sense overnight. There are so many neighbors in Zhuye Community who come to apply for cards. If you roughly calculate, there are more than 30 people, including men, women, and young and old.
However, now is a new era where electronic technology and superpowers coexist and develop. If something unreasonable happens, everyone's mental ability to bear and accept and adapt to accept has become stronger.

"Auntie He, Xiaobai promised to give me Zhang Jie's signature photo." Jiang Linhan, a beauty in Zhuye Community who did not return home last night, held a five-thousand year card and pointed it on the back of her mother's hand. "You old man told him that if he didn't receive Zhang Jie's signature photo within the seven days he promised, I would come and refund the card."
"You will definitely receive it." My mother was very sure.
I have been opening a store for so long, and it is my mother’s basic life skills to make a promise with her eyes open and she has no confidence.
Jiang Linhan was overjoyed and tiptoed across the counter table and leaned over her mother's forehead and kissed: "Thank you aunt, thank you Xiaobai for helping me."
"No thanks!" My mother registered for the card, and my father was responsible for collecting cash, either swiping QR code, Alipay, or WeChat to receive red envelopes. She was very busy and energetic.
The hairdressers, masseurs, beauticians, assistants, workers, cashiers and receptionists who came to work came one after another. Everyone had a wonderful expression on their faces. Good, what was going on today? The customers who came to apply for the card lined up. This is the first time Pangu has made a fortune!
"Ashen, these men want to get their hair done now, and these two beauties want to have beauty treatments now. They are all annual cards. Don't be stunned, all of them move." Dad waved his hand while collecting the money.
So, the employees who were asking each other about the "what's situation" started to move.
The managers and employees of the beauty salon that had just opened the door stood at the gate and looked at this side, saying something to each other, looking surprised.

After more than an hour, the customers who were queuing up basically came to an end. They sold a total of forty cards, three annual cards worth 50,000 for 150,000 for 150, seven annual cards worth 50,000 for 350, and more than 30 annual cards worth 150,000 for 150, not much or less, and a total of 200,000 for 200,000 for 200,000 for 200,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 200,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 100,000 for 200,000 for 200,000 for 100,000 for 100,0
My parents went to the Wang family steamed bun shop next door to eat steamed buns and drink porridge, and both of their faces were smiling so hard.
The business of Wang Family Mantou next door is also an old store for more than ten years. The counter tables are exquisite and elegant, and as noble as a coffee shop. The store is not big, and the husband-and-wife store has only four words for the signature: Wang Family Mantou. During the summer vacation, Wang Xiaomeng, who has changed a lot from a girl, also helped in the store.
"Xiao Meng, I heard from Xiaobai that you passed the school test on September 1 this year?" My mother smiled.
"Auntie, I don't know yet!" Wang Xiaomeng is a very ordinary girl with a steamed bun face. The so-called steamed bun means fat.
A girl cannot have two things, one is that her face is big and the other is that she has fat face.
Fat is a neutral word, but when it comes here, it becomes a derogatory word.
But Zhang Xiaobai, who is as thin as a stick, likes Wang Xiaomeng's style. Wang Xiaomeng's figure is slightly fat, but her face is the obese world. Although she has changed a lot this year, she is still a bit far from the usual standards of beauty that everyone has agreed upon. To be honest, it is still a bit far from the usual standards of beauty.
