Soul knot

Going to school on weekdays, there is only one night of vacation a week, so Lu Yudong will definitely go to not be an old friend.

But the winter and summer vacations are different. She has to do homework during the day, and after finishing her homework, she can't help but want to watch TV with Manzhu. Naturally, she won't go there every night to be an old friend.

After all, after school starts, I can only meditate and practice my spiritual foundation every day at school, and I can't do anything else. After finally taking a vacation, I have to find time to practice spells.

How can I have time to practice hard when I go to the bar every day?Lu Yudong's habit in the past was to go there once or twice a week to relax and let his little master give him some advice.

However, ever since Zhang Ziyun started working with an old friend, Lu Yudong could receive the same personal stamp from Zhang Ziyun on QQ every day.

——Will you come to the bar today?

There are expectations between the lines.

Lu Yudong felt that Zhang Ziyun should not be familiar with everyone in the bar, and Yan Zhaomu, who worked together at the bar, was so taciturn and difficult to get along with, which made her feel bored, so she wanted to find an acquaintance to accompany her accompany myself.

Zhang Ziyun asked day by day, and Lu Yudong really left her alone if she was not an old friend, and the number of times she went there every week increased.

Zhang Ziyun has always been very smart, but he doesn't use his smartness for study.Now, in order to keep the long-term part-time job that Lu Yudong won for her, she is working hard every day to understand the wine culture.

In the process of continuous understanding, she found that she unexpectedly started to like these things.

She likes the taste of different wines, the stories about those wines, and watching Yan Zhaomu bartending wine beside her. These are all a kind of enjoyment for her.

But even if she was in the bar, even if she was getting more and more interested in all this, she couldn't sample the wine like the guests who came here.

After all, her mother had already told Mu Shenshan thousands of times, saying: "Don't let my Ziyun drink alcohol, she is still young, I'm afraid it will affect her body and character."

At that time, Mu Shenshan also repeatedly assured that any kind of alcohol in the bar would not be sold to minors, so Zhang Ziyun's mother left in peace.

The night before New Year's Eve, Lu Yudong was sitting on a high stool outside the bar, chatting with Zhang Ziyun.

Zhang Ziyun often tells her stories recently, telling the recipe and origin of each wine, and why the name of the wine comes from.

Lu Yudong wasn't interested in these things, but Zhang Ziyun's talk was quite interesting, so she listened carefully and never felt bored.

While talking, Zhang Ziyun suddenly became emotional.

"I really want to grow up quickly."

"When you first came here, we were both in the first grade of junior high school, and the time actually passed quickly." Lu Yudong said earnestly, "The winter vacation also passes quickly, once the year is over, school will start soon. "

Zhang Ziyun smiled: "The winter vacation really goes by quickly, but it slows down after school starts."

Lu Yudong couldn't help but ask, "Have you done your winter vacation homework?"

Zhang Ziyun said: "I did it, I did it during the day!"

Lu Yudong said like a little teacher, "That's good."

Zhang Ziyun suddenly looked up at Yan Zhaomu who was sitting beside him without saying a word, and asked in a low voice, "On my birthday, can I drink the wine that Brother Xiaoyan made?"

Yan Chaomu was listening to the chatting of these two little girls, but at this moment he was suddenly called out, and he didn't realize it for a while.

"Little master?" Lu Yudong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Yan Zhaomu's eyes.

Yan Zhaomu came back to his senses and replied, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, after thinking about it, he added another sentence: "Here, here you are, free of charge..."

"Brother Xiaoyan is so kind." Zhang Ziyun smiled happily, and Lu Yudong quickly raised his head when he heard this: "Little Master, I want it too, can I get free?"

Yan Zhaomu nodded: "Wait, wait for you...Eighteen, drink whatever you want, forget it, forget it for me."

Lu Yudong asked curiously, "Drink casually? How casual is that?"

Yan Zhaomu gave a rare slight smile: "From now on, if you come here to drink, all... I invite you."

Zhang Ziyun: "Really?"

Lu Yudong: "I can't go back on my word!"

Yan Zhaomu: "Really."

Zhang Ziyun heard this, and excitedly said: "Then I really can't leave!" After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Lu Yudong, "Didn't you say that the university also has to take the entrance examination in this city?"

Lu Yudong nodded: "Yes."

"Then I will also take the exam in this city. It is very difficult for my mother to be alone now, and I don't want to be too far away from her. If I am in this city, it will be convenient to continue this part-time job to pay off the debt." Zhang Ziyun said, squinting and smiling Laughing, "If you have something to do, you can have a drink or two of brother Xiaoyan. It doesn't cost money. If you don't drink, you don't drink for nothing."

Yan Zhaomu was obviously taken aback.

Seeing Zhang Ziyun, he quickly waved his hands: "I won't make you poor, I'm not going too far!" As he said, he shook his head with lowered eyebrows, raised his eyes and smiled, "I'm just sighing, I used to always want to go to the imperial capital, but now I don't Suddenly I feel... Yuanchuan is also very good."

"At least... the food here is my favorite food. If I really go to the north, I won't be used to it, right?"

"I don't want to live on campus when I'm in college. If there aren't many classes then, I'll come here often. Then our bar business will be good, and my family's debts can be paid off sooner!"

"Also, if this is the case, we can still see each other often!"

As Zhang Ziyun said, he couldn't help resting his chin on his hands, a slight smile rose from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were fixed on an empty champagne glass in front of him, and he didn't know where his thoughts were drifting.

Hearing what Zhang Ziyun said, Lu Yudong couldn't help but imagine the future.

Young people always have a lot of longing for the future in their hearts, and that is the light like stars in their eyes.

***

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and the business of the bar was relatively bleak.

For Chinese New Year, Zhang Ziyun went to the family reunion dinner with Zhang's mother, and did not come to the bar to work.

Lu Yudong once again spent a year with Manzhu in the bar.

The dumplings for the Spring Festival are made by everyone gathered together during the day, and no one is allowed to be lazy. After all, apart from eating for themselves, every guest who celebrates the New Year in the bar has to give a plate as a gift.

As Huanxi said, if you don't spend such an important day at home, it must be because your family is not around and you are very lonely.Since the guests choose to celebrate the New Year here, they must let the guests feel the warmth of home. A plate of delicious dumplings is often the most homely feeling.

Moreover, when everyone is making dumplings, they will randomly hide a one-yuan coin in the dumplings.

If the guests eat it, they will get a 88% discount on all consumption on the day. If the employees eat it, they can ask the boss for a red envelope of [-] yuan.

Don't ask why it is 88, it means the boss is stingy.

Speaking of making dumplings, there are really experts in the bar who can make dumplings in any shape, especially Xiaozhi and Gou Hongjie, who can make complicated and beautiful designs.

When making dumplings in the past two years, Manzhu Bao was the worst in the whole bar. Every time a dumpling is finished, as long as you see which shape is the ugliest, it must be Manzhu, an old snake in the mountains.

The dumplings made by Manzhu this year are no exception. They are still different in size and crooked. Apart from the fact that the dumplings are fairly firm and will not fall apart when cooked, there is no place to praise them at all.

Of course, Manzhu didn't like making dumplings very much, so she didn't make many dumplings. After hiding the coins casually, she ran aside and sat down as a supervisor.

In the end, those dumplings were the same as in previous years. Huanxi picked them out one by one from the gaudy dumpling pile and put them aside alone, becoming part of everyone's supper.

After all, the fillings are all those fillings, and there are only a few kinds that come and go. The dumplings are ugly, but the taste is always the same. Everyone is their own, so there is nothing to dislike. Just don't make the guests ugly.

At about eleven o'clock that night, the back kitchen began to make pot after pot of dumplings. After a while, the hot dumplings were delivered to every guest.

At two o'clock in the morning, after seeing off all the guests, the goblins who were not old friends also gathered together, either standing or sitting, each holding a pair of chopsticks, talking and laughing while eating the big plates on the table dumplings.

The dumplings come in different shapes, including homemade ones, triangular ones, crescent moon ones, willow leaf ones, ingot ones, and even particularly beautiful peony dumplings and butterfly dumplings.

Some rely on steaming, some rely on boiling, and finally put together the plate at random, it will look very good.

If there is something really awkward, it must be those crooked, different-sized guys from Manzhu Bao, who quietly mixed into every dumpling plate that should have been exquisite.

However, although the dumplings made by Manzhu were ugly, they were the first to be eaten by everyone.

The reason is also simple. Manzhu made less than [-] dumplings, and her dumplings will not be put on the guests' plates, so the probability of getting coins is much higher than other dumplings.

88 yuan, don’t want it for nothing, who wouldn’t want to have a little luck on such a festive day?

In the end, Manzhu's coin was eaten by Gou Hongjie, who was the fastest eater.

"I can't grab it, I can't grab it, Brother Gou eats too fast."

"Er Gouzi, you eat so fast, you are in a rush to reincarnate!"

"It feels like you have eaten one-third of it, you are just grabbing coins!"

Gou Hongjie didn't care what everyone said, as the first lucky person tonight, he immediately took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, ran to the edge of Mushen Mountain, and got the red envelope with great success.

Lu Yudong ate for a long time, ate one or two of each kind of dumpling, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and still didn't see the coin, so he finally chose to give up.

She got up and walked slowly to Manzhu, who was sitting and resting, touched her stomach and gave a "burp", and then yawned big, her eyes were covered with mist.

Manzhu smiled and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Yudong's eyes with his fingertips: "Are you full?"

"I'm exhausted." Lu Yudong said, "I didn't get any coins."

Manzhu scratched Lu Yudong's nose, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "It's only 88, when did I give you more pocket money than that?"

Lu Yudong smiled "hee hee", walked in front of Man Zhu, quietly pulled up two layers of sweater, and said while holding out the round belly under the cotton sweater: "Sister, pat it, it looks like a small watermelon, and the voice is very crisp of."

Manzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, and hurriedly pulled off her lifted clothes: "Don't catch a cold!"

Lu Yudong pursed his lips, sat beside Manzhu, leaned on her shoulder lightly, and closed his eyes sleepily.

Manzhu: "Sleepy?"

Lu Yudong: "A little bit."

Manzhu: "Then let's go home."

Lu Yudong nodded, stood up, followed Manzhu, and waved goodbye to everyone who was still very energetic.

When she got home, she picked up her phone and took a look. The class group was buzzing with new year wishes, and she also received a private message from Zhang Ziyun.

Zhang Ziyun has a lot of friends, no matter in or out of school or online, he sends a lot of blessings every year, and Lu Yudong often receives copy-pasted greetings.

But this year, the blessings sent by Zhang Ziyun were different from previous years.

The first is a simple New Year's Eve blessing, and the second is a simple Spring Festival blessing.

But except for these two, there is a third one this year, and it is much longer than before.

Zhang Ziyun: Lu Yudong, Happy New Year's Eve!

Zhang Ziyun: Lu Yudong, Happy Chinese New Year!

Zhang Ziyun: Lu Yudong, the most fortunate thing for me is to be at the same table with you in the first year of junior high school.You have been very kind to me all these years, I have a bad temper, and I am more fierce than you when I am angry, but no matter what happens, you have always been with me, and you have always helped me when I was most helpless.My mother's monthly salary is only [-], which is for the family and for my food, clothing and schooling. Without you, I don't know what our family would do.I'm really, really happy that you're willing to recommend a job for me, but I don't know how to repay you.If possible, from now on you will be the person I care about the most besides my mother, and I will treat you as well as you treat me.

Lu Yudong read this passage twice, thought for a while, and finally replied only one sentence——Happy Chinese New Year, we will always be each other's best friends!

At this point, most people should go to bed, but Zhang Ziyun has been working with an old friend for a long time, and his schedule has changed throughout the winter vacation.

The moment she received Lu Yudong's reply, she replied instantly.

Zhang Ziyun: [Angrily pulling face] Did you not look at your phone all night?

Lu Yudong: Really, the bar is quite hot today.

Zhang Ziyun: Are there still so many guests during Chinese New Year?

Lu Yudong: There are few customers, but because it is Chinese New Year, everyone gathers together to cheer.

Lu Yudong: We also made a lot of dumplings, and I came back when I was full.

After Lu Yudong finished posting, he sent photos of the big table of various dumplings.

Zhang Ziyun: [Wow] I didn't even eat it!

Lu Yudong: There are several kinds of fillings, and

Zhang Ziyun: [cries aloud with grievance] Have you finished eating?

Lu Yudong: There are still more. There are few customers today, so there are some left. If you want to eat, you can ask Uncle Gou to cook it for you at night.

Zhang Ziyun: Which one is the tastiest?

Lu Yudong: They are all delicious!

Lu Yudong: But you don’t like celery, just ask Uncle Gou not to cook Yuan Bao, which is stuffed with celery and pork.

Zhang Ziyun: [Got it] Why are you so caring!

Zhang Ziyun: But I'm too embarrassed to eat alone, why don't you come tomorrow night and eat with me?

Man Zhu had just made a cup of hot milk and came out of the kitchen when she saw Lu Yudong sitting on the sofa holding his mobile phone and smiling, and couldn't help frowning slightly for a moment.

The next second, she came back to her senses, pretended not to know anything, walked to Lu Yudong's side with the milk, and sat down gently.

Manzhu asked: "Are you chatting with Zhang Ziyun?"

Lu Yudong nodded, handed the phone screen to Manzhu, and said, "Sister, look, I'm angry at her for not coming tonight."

Manzhu glanced at the chat records, smiled faintly, slightly raised the glass of milk in his hand, and said: "It's late, say good night to your classmates, go wash up after drinking, and then go to bed."

"Okay!" Lu Yudong nodded, and quickly typed a reply to Zhang Ziyun.

Lu Yudong: Okay, I will accompany you.

Lu Yudong: It's late, my sister urged me to sleep, you should go to bed early too!

Zhang Ziyun: Good night then!

Lu Yudong: Good night.

Zhang Ziyun: [Although Ye Taimei is too dangerous, there are always people who stay up all night with dark eyes]

Lu Yudong smiled and collected the emoji, put down the phone, took the milk from Manzhu, gulped it down, got up and went into the bathroom.

Manzhu took off her coat, leaned against the soft Corgi, and sat on the bed.

Lu Yudong came out of the wash, turned off the lights in the room as usual, trotted to the bedside, turned over, avoided Manzhu's legs like a monkey, and lay down under his own bed.

Seeing Lu Yudong shrinking into the bed, Manzhu was afraid that the quilt would leak air, so she also lay down.

Soon, Lu Yudong hugged her arm.

Manzhu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't hold it back, and asked, "I heard that Zhang Ziyun also wants to be admitted to a university in this city, and he will always work in our bar in the future?"

"Yeah." Lu Yudong closed his eyes and said, "Huh?", turned his head, opened his eyes to Manzhu, and asked curiously, "How does sister know?"

"I heard it while chatting with your little uncle." Manzhu said.

"The little master must have told him that. Nothing we say in front of the little master can escape the ears of the little uncle." Lu Yudong blinked and smiled, "The little master is the ghost, last time I secretly said a few words Uncle's bad words were finally known by the little uncle."

Manzhu couldn't help laughing: "What bad things did you say?"

Lu Yudong said: "It's not a serious bad word. I just think Zhang Ziyun has done such a good job. Recently, there have been more customers ordering drinks and refills in the bar. The little uncle didn't give her a raise. She is really stingy!"

Manzhu was silent for half a second, and smiled lightly: "I sing so hard every day, and I haven't seen your little uncle give me a raise. You should care about our own income."

Lu Yudong quickly explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that, I was just joking... Besides, Zhang Ziyun's family owes a lot of money, some of it belongs to my classmates..."

"Students in the class? How much do you owe?" Manzhu asked.

"[-], a male classmate." Lu Yudong said, turning to face Man Zhu, frowning unhappily, "That male classmate has been chasing Zhang Ziyun since junior high school, and he has been chasing Zhang Ziyun all the way until now, but he has never caught up. The last time Zhang Ziyun's father came out It was a matter of needing money urgently, so he offered to help, and then he has been pestering Zhang Ziyun."

"Holding?"

"That's right, he knows that Zhang Ziyun is not good enough to drive him away, so he pesters him every day. Zhang Ziyun has already euphemistically stated that he doesn't want to date, so he shouldn't hear it... In the end, it's just because of the [-] favors. , if it’s not clear, there is a clean... I want to help her, but I really can’t help her much."

After hearing this, Manzhu didn't know how to respond.

After a while, she reached out and touched Lu Yudong's face, and said, "In the end, this is her own business. You have tried your best to help, so don't blame yourself too much, go to rest early."

"En." Lu Yudong nodded, leaned against Manzhu, put his hands on her body, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Manzhu couldn't help but fell into a moment of thought.

When Lu Yudong mentioned that male classmate, he was obviously not happy. Could it be her possessiveness towards Zhang Ziyun that caused the trouble?

Lu Yudong was probably jealous because the male classmate kept pestering Zhang Ziyun with the excuse of borrowing 7 yuan...

In the bar on weekdays, Zhang Ziyun also went to find Lu Yudong whenever he was free, and the two of them had a very happy chat every time.

Manzhu thought for a long time alone, until the breathing of Lu Yudong beside her became slower and more even, then she slowly let out a long breath, and threw Corgi off the bed with her backhand.

At eleven noon the next day, Lu Yudong woke up from his dream yawning.

In the bathroom, the sound of the washing machine beeping.

She had just put on the padded pajamas on the upper body, when she looked down and saw the cute little Corgi lying on the cold ground, she couldn't help supporting the edge of the bed, picked it up from the ground, held it in her hand and patted it , on Manzhu's pillow.

Lu Yudong put on the cotton trousers, jumped off the bed, ran to the door of the bathroom a few steps, held the door frame and glanced inside. Man Zhu was cleaning Lu Yudong's sneakers in front of the sink with his sleeves tied up.

"Sister, I'll be fine!" Lu Yudong said.

"It's okay, idle is idle, just wait a moment, I'll be fine soon."

As Manzhu said, she cleaned the foam off the shoes, quickly wiped the sink aside, and gave Lu Yudong the place to wash.

While Lu Yudong was brushing his teeth, Manzhu stood at the door and asked, "What do you want for lunch? Can I get you some dumplings from last night?"

Lu Yudong was about to nod his head, remembering that he had promised Zhang Ziyun last night that he would eat dumplings together today, it might be a bit boring to eat twice a day, so he stuttered and said, "Let's say goodbye, I promised Zun Ziyun that I will have a ki with her until the funeral What about dumplings?"

Manzhu smiled calmly: "Okay, then I'll cook noodles for you."

After that, she turned around and walked into the kitchen. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help smashing a bowl.

Lu Yudong rushed out of the bathroom with a mouth full of foam, mouthwash in one hand, and the kitchen door in the other, with a toothbrush dangling from his mouth, he said in surprise, "Yeah, no four!"

Manzhu took a deep breath, and said calmly: "My hand slipped, it's okay."

After all, with a light hook of his finger, he threw the debris into the trash can.

"Oh!" Lu Yudong walked back to the bathroom in a daze.

Manzhu opened the refrigerator and took a look, then closed the refrigerator door again.

She turned around and walked to the door of the bathroom, and said, "I took a look, and the scorpion that your Uncle Gou fried for us last time is gone, and I won't eat noodles today, so hurry up and wash up, change your clothes, and I'll take you out to eat. "

"What are you eating?" Lu Yudong finally spoke clearly after brushing his teeth.

Manzhu said: "You can eat whatever you want, just listen to you."

Lu Yudong: "Then I want to eat fried chicken."

Manzhu asked: "Eating junk food again?"

Lu Yudong stuck out his tongue: "It's been a long time since I ate."

Manzhu shook his head and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to eat."

"Love you!" Lu Yudong rushed forward and sipped lightly at Man Zhu's side face.

The moist feeling on the side of the face made Manzhu stunned for a moment, and couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from rising for a while, smiling and pushing the little girl whose mouth was still wet after brushing her teeth back to the bathroom.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Manzhu: I'm so angry, smash something to calm down.

Manzhu: I suddenly lose my temper after being kissed.
