Soul knot

Chapter 24

"I think he's struggling to talk, so tell him, what's the matter?" Mu Shenshan lifted up the stool that fell on the ground, touched the broken corner, and couldn't help beeping softly, "Get the table out of the way." If it’s broken, isn’t it also deducting his own salary?”

After all, he sat down and continued to peel the walnuts with an innocent face.

Manzhu didn't say anything, but Lu Yudong couldn't stand it anymore.

Lu Yudong: "Little uncle!"

Mu Shenshan: "Why?"

Lu Yudong said seriously: "You should go and coax little master."

Mu Shenshan asked: "Is he a woman? He loses his temper and needs to be coaxed?"

Lu Yudong choked for a moment, and looked up at Manzhu.

Manzhu said slowly: "Do you want me to beat you up now, and then see if you need someone to coax you?"

"Hey." Mu Shenshan dropped the unfinished walnut in his hand, took out a wet tissue and wiped his hands, "Peel it first, I really should go and see Chaomu, the door will be opened soon, but we can't let him Shake face at customers."

After all, he ran to the bar counter like a sneak.

However, the consolation results didn't seem to be very good. After opening for business, Yan Zhaomu never shook face at the guests, but he didn't respond to Mu Shenshan all night, not a single word.

On the contrary, Xiaozhi and Huanxi, who dislike durian, finally reached a consensus of mutual respect with Gou Hongjie, who likes durian.

Gou Hongjie considers himself an honest dog. Considering that it is not easy for Manzhu to earn money to support his family by himself, and he did eat nearly two durians, he made a grand and stingy decision-pay half of what he paid money!

"Sister Manzhu, since I eat all the durians, then for this money I..."

"A total of three hundred and two, thank you." Man Zhu stretched out his right hand to beg for money before Gou Hongjie finished speaking.

Gou Hongjie quickly explained: "I mean, although you bought it for us to eat, Sister Hong, I think I should pay half of the price, I..." He was halfway through, and Manzhu's eyes flickered a little Unexplainable smile.

Manzhu turned to look at Gou Hongjie, and smiled slightly: "Oh? But I bought it for Yudong."

The implication was that it couldn't be more obvious.

If it were really ugly, it would be——Oh, I bought it for Yudong, and she didn't even eat a couple of bites before she was eaten up by you, a stinky dog. Don't you want to pay me?

At that moment, Gou Hongjie's desire to survive was overwhelming: "I thought about it, and I think it's really not easy for you, Sister Manzhu, to take care of Sister Yudong by yourself. I should pay all the money!"

The food in the bar is not easy to sell, how much salary can the cook in the bar get?

When Gou Hongjie thought that he ate a durian worth 320 yuan just now, and even took the initiative to tell the person who was going to treat him that he would pay for it, he wanted to slap himself hard.

The moment the bank card was transferred, his heart ached.

Three hundred and two, enough for him to eat roast chicken several times, but in the end he replaced it with a meal of fruit, which is a big loss!

But Manzhu patted him on the shoulder, handed him a large bowl of peeled walnuts, and smiled charmingly: "Thanks for your hard work, make honey walnuts, you can keep some for yourself, I'll treat you."

Gou Hongjie tried his best to pretend to be very happy: "Thank you, Sister Manzhu!"

Manzhu was very satisfied when she saw it, she turned around and walked out of the back kitchen and lounge with her skirt.

Considering that Lu Yudong came back once a week, and had to go back to school after lunch on Sunday, Manzhu didn't want the child to wait for her at the bar until two o'clock in the morning, and he didn't want to be able to send the child back to school, so he discussed with Mu Shenshan After changing the commute time on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

Of course, it is said to be a discussion, but it is actually just a notice.

This aunt Manzhu was born to be domineering, and has been domineering in this world for nearly 3000 years. Even though her temper has become much milder now, it is still difficult to change her nature.

But Mu Shenshan didn't have the slightest opinion, to him it was a trivial matter.

As a human being, you can't be too harsh on others. Manzhu's request is nothing more than arriving late and leaving early twice a week, and spending some time with her little girl.

That night, before 10:30, Manzhu took two cans of honey walnut kernels and greeted Lu Yudong to go home early.

After returning home, Manzhu put two cans of walnuts on the coffee table.

Lu Yudong was greedy, so after changing into his slippers, he squatted on the side of the coffee table, while Manzhu was heating milk in the kitchen, picked up one of the cans, and ate it secretly.

Manzhu walked out of the kitchen with the milk and saw Lu Yudong squatting beside the short coffee table eating walnuts secretly. When he was discovered, he quickly closed the lid and stood up embarrassedly.

This little greedy cat, the two fingers of his right hand are sticky, and he doesn't know where to put them.

When Manzhu saw her, she couldn't help laughing for a while, shook her head and said with a smile: "It was originally made for you to eat, why are you so sneaky?"

Lu Yudong reacted, frowned, giggled twice, unscrewed the lid again, jumped in front of Manzhu, picked one up, and fed it to Manzhu's mouth.

Manzhu couldn't help being taken aback, and opened his mouth slightly after recovering, and took the walnut kernel into his mouth.

Lu Yudong looked up at Manzhu with his soft lips touching his fingertips, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Not bad." Manzhu replied.

"Then keep some at home!" Lu Yudong said.

Manzhu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, when we're done eating, we'll buy some more and let your Uncle Gou make it for us."

"Yeah!" Lu Yudong ate a few more, then screwed on the lid and put it back in place.

When my mother was still there, I would occasionally buy some walnuts and go home. Every time I bought them, I peeled the kernels and said to her: "Eating more walnuts can nourish the brain. People with a good brain are smart, and it is much easier to memorize texts. "

However, since she was a child, she has always felt that the taste is not very good, a bit astringent and bitter, so she has always been reluctant to eat it.

When peeling walnuts today, she ate one or two, but she felt that the taste was not different from what she remembered, so she didn't eat any more.

But the walnuts were fried into honey walnuts, which made her feel very fresh.

The slight bitterness of the walnut itself is gone, only the sweetness and crispness remain. After one bite, I can't help but want to eat more.

She wanted to take it to school to eat with Zhang Ziyun, and wanted to save half of it for Manzhu, so she didn't dare to eat it now, for fear that she would eat it all the time later, and the food would be gone before she went back to school.

Thinking this way, Lu Yudong subconsciously licked his fingers, raised his eyes and saw that Manzhu was still looking at him, and hurriedly ran into the bathroom with a blushing face, put on soap and washed his hands.

"Don't brush your teeth yet, drink the milk." Manzhu reminded softly outside.

"Hmm!" Lu Yudong responded, walked to the sofa as soon as possible after washing his hands, took the hot milk from Manzhu's hand that was no longer hot, and gulped it down.

After drinking the milk, the two went to the bathroom to wash up, turned off the lights early and went to sleep.

The glass window is open, only the mosquito screen is closed, the floor is not high, and there are insects outside the window.

The big fan at the end of the bed was blowing vigorously against the wall, blowing away some of the heat in the hot summer.

The two people on the bed were each covered with a thin towel quilt.

The time was less than 11:30. At this time in the past, Lu Yudong was either still waiting for Man Zhu to get off work in the old friend's house, or he was lying on the bed at home alone, closing his eyes and brewing for sleep.

Today, Manzhu was lying quietly beside her.

Lu Yudong closed his eyes, but couldn't sleep for a long time.

She turned sideways, opened her eyes and looked at Manzhu, Manzhu seemed to be able to sense her gaze, opened her eyes, and looked sideways at her.

"Can't sleep?" Manzhu asked softly.

"Actually, I'm sleepy." Lu Yudong murmured, "I went to bed early at school recently."

"Then why are your eyes still open?" Manzhu reached out and pinched Lu Yudong's small dark face a few times. There was not much flesh on the face, but it was soft and comfortable.

Lu Yudong pinched Manzhu for a long time, and finally when Manzhu was about to take back his hand, he hugged her arm with his backhand.

"Ok?"

"The puppy is at school, and I have nothing to hold it with, so I can't sleep." Lu Yudong said seriously, his big clear eyes were especially bright in the dark night.

Manzhu laughed for a while, and after a moment of silence, she said softly, "Then you can hug me, I told your little uncle Mu that from now on, every Saturday, I can get off work early, and on Sunday, I can also go to work late. That way, I can spend more time with you."

"Yeah!" Lu Yudong giggled, showing teeth that were a few shades whiter than that little black face, looking silly.

But soon she fell asleep.

She closed her eyes, hugged Manzhu's thin arms, and fell asleep very peacefully.

During the daytime on Sunday, Lu Yudong got up early and finished writing the weekly diary assigned by the head teacher.

She put the things she was going to take to school into her schoolbag in advance, and sat by the sofa and watched TV with Manzhu.

Manzhu likes watching TV very much. After all, she has lived in the mountains for a long time. No matter whether it is a good movie or a bad movie on TV, it is very fresh to her.

If it's a modern drama, Manzhu will watch it more quietly. After all, it's something she doesn't know much about, so it's hard to comment on it.

But if it's an ancient drama or a fairy tale drama, Manzhu can't help complaining.

"I, a goblin who seldom comes out of the mountains, know that nine heads would not be enough for the draft girls back then to dare to contradict the royal relatives like this."

"Who said cats have nine lives, and every one of them can be used to save people? Why don't you bring Huanxi along with such a good thing?"

"How did the millennium-old scorpion spirit be driven away by the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother? Immortals should not easily get involved in human affairs. Thunder calamities are all sent down by heaven, and have nothing to do with the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother. The couple only cares about thunder and rain. "

Every time Lu Yudong accompanied Manzhu to watch ancient costume dramas, especially those like fairy tales and fantasy, he would feel that he knew nothing about this world.

It turns out that the demons, ghosts, and even gods and Buddhas on TV are not the same as those in the real world.

This made Lu Yudong yearn even more for the world he was not familiar with.

However, the dramas on TV are not easy to follow. Many advertisements will pop up every time you watch it. If you miss that time point, you will miss a part of the plot.

Every time a plot is missed, Manzhu can only go to the bar to find someone to borrow a mobile phone or a notebook, and ask them to search that episode for her to watch.

Lu Yudong sometimes thinks that it would be great if he had money.

If she has money, she must buy a computer for Manzhu, and then connect to the home network, so that Manzhu doesn't have to wait and watch two episodes every day.

It's just that Lu Yudong doesn't know how to make money at his age besides distributing leaflets.

The money for a computer is too much for her.

That afternoon, Manzhu watched the TV series with great interest, but she didn't notice that Lu Yudong was thinking wildly.

It was almost 03:30 when she got up and walked into the kitchen to wash rice and cook. Then she put on a light shirt with large sleeves and the embroidered shoes she wore when she went out. Standing at the door, she turned around and asked Lu Yudong if she wanted to go shopping with her.

Recently, there is no food in the refrigerator.

Lu Yudong was away for a week, so Manzhu ate instant noodles for a week.

Manzhu's intestines and stomach are different from human beings, and they don't care about whether they are nutritious or healthy.For her, instant noodles are cheap, simple, and taste good. There is nothing wrong with buying a few more flavors for a change.

It's just that no matter how convenient she is, she can't let Lu Yudong, a child who is still growing, eat instant noodles with her.

I have to buy food, and in the past, the two of us bought food together.

It's just this point, if you don't buy it, it's too late to make dinner, and if you go out now, the episode of the TV series that is being broadcast has not ended, Manzhu feels that it is necessary to ask Lu Yudong if he wants to move now.

Lu Yudong was absent-minded when he was watching TV. At this moment, he heard Manzhu say that he was going out to buy vegetables, so he hurriedly ran to the bedside and drew the curtains, changed into his nightgown, ran to Manzhu's side, and held Manzhu's hand, Hee hee laughed twice.

On the way out to buy vegetables, Lu Yudong hummed and sang.

It was the song the instructor taught everyone to sing during the military training. She remembered that she had said before that she was going to sing it to Manzhu, but she forgot it when she came back.

She jumped up and down behind Manzhu, singing from "Green Flowers in the Army" to "Unity is Strength", and then "Song of the Guerrillas" and "Song of One, Two, Three, Four".

The little girl's voice is still changing, it sounds a little hoarse, and she is shaking violently while walking. The pitch of each song is not right, but it makes people feel a little cute.

It's just the lyrics of those songs, Manzhu was a little dazed.

Lu Yudong saw Manzhu's expression of incomprehension, and then realized that Manzhu seemed to have watched anti-war dramas in recent years. Manzhu simply jumped into this modern society from ancient times.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it doesn't sound good anyway." Lu Yudong smiled indifferently.

Manzhu thought for a while, and said: "Didn't you still say that you want to be shown to me when you come back?"

"That's right! I'll stack it for you when I get back!" Lu Yudong said, unconsciously quickening his pace.

It was only after returning home that Lu Yudong realized that there were only two towel quilts at home, and the thicker quilts were all stored in the cabinet under the bed board, and it was very laborious to take them out.

Lu Yudong was stunned for a long time in front of the two beds of towels that were too thin to fold tofu cubes, and finally had an idea, turned around, jumped to the coffee table, pulled a small stool and sat down happily.

The sound of the range hood in the kitchen rang for a long time, and finally quieted down.

Manzhu took off her apron, and walked out of the kitchen with the freshly fried dishes. Just as she put the plate on the coffee table, she saw two square gadgets on the coffee table.

It was an ultra-small military quilt that Lu Yudong folded out of napkins. It was really like a block of tofu, with edges and corners.

"The quilt is too thin and can't be folded up, so I can only show it to you like this." Lu Yudong smiled, his eyes full of complacency.

Manzhu chuckled, picked up the little quilt made of napkins, and asked softly, "It's so cute, can you give it to me? I want to keep it."

Lu Yudong tilted his head: "It will break after a while."

Manzhu said: "I won't let it break."

The tone was a little childish, but it was gentle and firm.
