************************
At this moment, the bright moon is hanging high, and everything is quiet. Xi Yue walked alone on the streets of the small city, there was no one around, and the only few lights were closed. The northern cities rarely have the prosperity of Shanghai, and Shanghai should be lively at the moment.
Xiyue turned to a small street, a small shop was still lit, the door was open, and it looked like a noodle shop. After coming out of Shanghai, Xiyue has not eaten again. When I saw this shop at the moment, I just wanted to try it.
In fact, Xiyue is not for food, but because of the warmth of the light in this dark night. It's like a tired wanderer, seeing the warmth of the lights at home and waiting for himself.
"Guest officer, please." As soon as Xi Yue walked to the door, a warm and gentle voice came out of it.
When Xiyue walked to the door, she was slightly stunned, but she still walked in. Inside it's simple, with only five tables. The stove is in the lobby, and the person who spoke before was a middle-aged man, who was busy working beside the stove with his head down, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was dressed very plainly, and he looked a little vicissitudes.
"It's a girl." The man raised his head and saw Xi Yue, and his eyes flashed with surprise. The man's face is a little pale, but he looks very kind, and he speaks very kindly, which inexplicably makes people feel warm.
"Can't it be a girl?" Xi Yue asked rhetorically.
The man, the owner of the shop, said, "Not really, but it's late at night, and it's rare to see a girl coming." ”
Xi Yue said: "I'm afraid I'm not a serious girl? ”
The owner of the noodle shop hurriedly stopped and said, "No, no, the girl laughed." I'm a businessman, and I'm a guest at the door, so I'm not afraid. ”
"The girl is so beautiful and has an outstanding temperament, she must not be an ordinary person, I don't dare to speculate."
Xi Yue said, "Let's have a bowl of noodles." ”
The owner of the noodle shop said with a smile: "Okay, the girl is coming to me for the first time, don't look at my small shop, but my old grandson's noodles are real, and many people in this city are like me." ”
The noodle shop owner said as he quickly got down with his hands and feet. A bowl of clear noodle soup was quickly prepared and served.
"Girl, use it slowly." The noodle shop owner put it down and went back to work on the stove, as if he was still waiting for someone.
Xi Yue looked at the clear soup noodles in front of her, it was very simple, only noodles and a few cabbages, not even a trace of meat. But it's really fragrant, and the steaming heat looks like home.
Xiyue didn't eat it, but it was delicious.
"Is the girl okay eating?" The noodle shop owner kept his head down and was busy, not paying attention to Xiyue's side. But there is a trace of concern in the words, which makes people feel a little warm for no reason in this cold and lonely night.
"Yes, your craftsmanship is very good, and you do it with your heart." Xiyue said.
When the noodle shop owner heard the praise, he was naturally happy, "Thank you girl for the compliment." On this May day, the night is still a little cold, so it is best to eat a bowl of noodles and drink hot soup. ”
"Yes, at this time, it is a very happy thing to have a hot soup to drink." Along the way, Xiyue saw many people who had been devastated by the war, who had been displaced, and a mouthful of hot soup was a luxury for them.
The owner of the noodle shop said with a smile: "What the girl said is that this hot soup will warm your stomach and your heart will be satisfied." ”
"Are you alone here, and no one is there to help you?" Xiyue asked.
The owner of the noodle shop said: "The shop is small, I can't make a lot of money, and I can't afford to hire a man." Besides, I only have faces, and there are not many guests, so I am busy when I arrive alone. ”
"What about your family, won't they help you?" Xiyue asked.
"My wife has gone a long time ago, and I have a daughter, but she is not in good health, so I let her rest." When the owner of the noodle shop talked about his daughter, his face was full of happiness, and he could see that he loved his daughter very much, and he was very content, and did not show sadness because of his daughter's poor health.
"It's hard to be alone with a child, isn't it?" Xiyue asked.
The owner of the noodle shop said happily: "It's not hard, my daughter has been very well-behaved since she was a child, which is very worry-free." ”
Speaking of this, a light footstep sounded outside, and the noodle shop owner said with a smile: "It should be my old customer who is here." ”
A moment later, a very beautiful woman walked in gracefully.
"As soon as I heard this, I knew that you were coming, please take a seat, and I will give it to you." The noodle shop owner greeted with a smile.
The woman walked in and sat down at a table closest to the stove, in a straight posture.
"It's a little cold tonight." The woman spoke.
"No, it's like this in May, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. You will have a sip of hot soup to ward off the cold and warm your body. The noodle shop owner said.
The woman said: "I just think about you, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea are not as real as your bowl of noodles." ”
Lao Sun, the owner of the noodle shop, came to the women's table with noodles, "Thank you for taking care of my business, this is the last bowl of today, specially reserved for you." ”
The woman said, "It seems that business is good today, and it is all sold out."
Lao Sun said with a smile: "You don't know the business of my shop, it's like this every day, and there are not a few more bowls." ”
Lao Sun seemed to be very familiar with this woman, and he talked more, "You look in a good mood today, but what is the happy event?" “
The woman couldn't hide her happiness and said, "There is really a happy event." ”
"Then I really want to hear about your happy events, and let me be happy for the girl." Lao Sun returned to the stove and cleaned up, the noodles were gone, and he was ready to close.
"Today is my last inning, I'm getting out of there." The woman said without hesitation.
When Lao Sun heard this, he immediately showed a happy smile, "That's a great event, I want to congratulate you." ”
"Thank you."
Lao Sun asked, "Let me ask more, what are the girl's plans in the future?" ”
The woman said, "Someone has ransomed me, and we plan to leave here and go back to his hometown." ”
"Did that man ever take a wife?"
"No, I married and was the main house."
"That's really congratulations, it's all over the place." Lao Sun was full of congratulations.
"I thought I was going to spend my whole life in the land of fireworks, but I never thought I would be where I am today. It's not that they haven't ransomed me before, but they all fancy my appearance, and they married me as a concubine. Israel's servants will not last long, and after a long time, it is better to be in the green building, so I don't want to go with them. ”
"But he really loves me, and I have seen all kinds of people and know that he is sincere. I'm embarrassed, and I don't know how long his sincerity will last, but I'm willing to give it a try. The woman said unhurriedly, she saw everything very transparently, and she was not completely lost in love.
Xi Yue sighed with emotion: "It's rare to have a lover in the world, you met it, you are very lucky." I bless you if you see it clearly, but you are still willing to try, and you are brave. ”
In love, perhaps she is braver than Xiyue.
The woman stood up, bent slightly, and said after a bow: "Thank you for not giving up, thank you for the smoke." ”
Xi Yue said: "You're welcome. ”
"Old Sun, your noodles are still as fragrant as ever, maybe I won't be able to eat them again in the future." Ruyan's face was a little regretful.
Lao Sun said sincerely: "If you can't eat well, you can't eat this noodles, and you can't eat those hardships, which is a good thing." ”
Ruyan felt a little regretful: "Without your face, I don't know how to live in the future." “
The days in the Qinglou are hard, and this is the only place where she can feel warm. It's not so much that she came here to eat noodles, but to feel the feeling of home and the taste of equality. Lao Sun is simple, real, and has never despised her, just like her family. She was about to leave, and she was really reluctant.
