Year after year

"Xiao Xun, don't pack up, go back first." Lin Yu tapped the clock on the wall with a pen, and said to Xiao Xun, "It's almost nine o'clock, you should leave early, or you won't be able to catch the bus later."

Xiao Xun carried a stack of dishes collected from table No. [-], staggered past Lin Yu, and said, "I'll leave after collecting the dishes in the hall, so that Aunt Qian can finish washing the dishes."

"It's up to you." Lin Yu wrote down the item of pepper on the menu, and said, "Remember to come early tomorrow, sister Wenqian has asked for leave."

Xiao Xun let out a "hmm", walked into the kitchen and put the bowl at Qian Guoxiang's feet.There were large and small dishes piled up beside the sink. Qian Guoxiang added some hot water to the sink on the right to melt the oil.

Xiao Xun finished collecting the hall and swept the floor. Under Lin Yu's repeated urging, he grabbed the bag and left He Ye. Before leaving, he did not forget to release the soybean oil from the cage.

Soybean You was shaking his smooth and shiny fur, and he couldn't wait to get out of the cage.Xiao Xun squatted down, trying to touch its head, but soybean oil quickly dodged it.Soybean You jumped a few steps away and stopped, tilting his head to look at Xiao Xun, as if he was sizing her up.Just when Xiao Xun was about to stand up, Soybean Oil ran up behind Xiao Xun and sniffed Xiao Xun's trousers, wagging his tail and rubbed Xiao Xun's calf from the side a few times. Bump ran back to the store.

Xiao Xun always felt that this dog had become a spirit, no, he would play hard to get.

Xiao Xun got up with a smile and walked towards the bus stop.

Lin Yu carefully scraped out the rice grains from the seam of the rice cooker so that Qian Guoxiang could wash it more conveniently.

At this time, soybean oil walked into the vegetable preparation room on four short legs, and when it saw Lin Yu in a blink of an eye, it jumped on it, turning around between Lin Yu's legs.

"Aunt Qian, is there any food that hasn't been thrown away?" Lin Yu knew that the soybean oil was expressly indicating that he should take care of the food, so he resisted the urge to pet the dog's head, and Lin Yu continued to put the extra food into the basket, "I Mix some rice with soybean oil."

"There's still some fried three shredded meat left." Qian Guoxiang put the plate in his hand into the clear water pool on the left, "Pang Hai also left a few pieces of braised pork for it, and put them in the side dish plate next to the meat dish pool .”

Lin Yu said "OK" and brought the stack of plates on the floor to the sink.Qian Guoxiang found more than half of the fish-flavored shredded pork on the plate, handed it to Lin Yu, and asked, "Is this a dish that Mr. Bao Er Xu added later?"

"Yes." Lin Yu poured out some shredded fish-flavored pork on the plate, and added some cold rice to it, "I also added a piece of stinky tofu with hot pepper at the end. I knew he wouldn't be allowed to add it, and I didn't finish it."

Otherwise, you can save a few dishes.

Qian Guoxiang understood, she took the clean plate out of the water and put it in the basket next to it.Lin Yu poured the cold braised pork into the soybean oil enamel rice bowl, and covered it with the mixed rice.As soon as he got up, the soybean oil was squeezed up, and he began to munch on it.

Lin Yu picked up the plastic basket containing the dishes, went to the cupboard and squatted down to stack the dishes, turned his back to Qian Guoxiang and said, "Aunt Qian, you can go back after washing this pool, and do it tomorrow."

"I'm not like you young people who put off working until the next day." Qian Guoxiang replied, "It's only half an hour, and I'll sleep when I go back. Don't worry, I'll leave when I'm done."

Lin Yu knew that Qian Guoxiang was afraid that the dishes would be washed by himself after leaving, so he didn't persuade her any more.Today's restaurants are unwilling to recruit old ladies like Qian Guoxiang who are rushing to [-], and they despise them for hindering the meeting.Qian Guoxiang was afraid that Lin Yu would think that she was relying on the old to sell the old, and would fire her if he was unhappy.It's not my own family, and it's not easy to talk about these things in the open, as long as both parties know it well enough.Lin Yu was grateful to Qian Guoxiang in his heart. Qian Guoxiang helped him a lot when he first took over Heye.But Qian Guoxiang thought she couldn't bear this gratitude. She felt that she had done a little bit of her duty, as long as she did the work and raised her wages on time, that would be the best reward.

Qian Guoxiang finished washing the dishes, cleaned up in the warehouse for a while, and then rode her bicycle home.Lin Yu locked the soybean oil after eating in Baoyi to prevent it from going out to play and not returning at night, and then took the long hook to pull the roll and pull the door, preparing to close the store.

Ying Hengnian never came.

Lin Yu who pulled down the last rolling door did not return to the store immediately, but looked around for a while.At ten o'clock in the evening, there were no people on Nanping Road, which was sandwiched in the old community.The nightclub ahead had a lonely red signboard, and there seemed to be loud voices at the crossroads in the distance.Lin Yu stared blankly at the huge street lamp at the three-way intersection in front of the store, and finally suppressed the faint expectation in his heart, and walked back to the store.

After returning to the store, Lin Yu didn't close the door immediately. He turned off the lantern at the door first, then turned on the most energy-efficient set of lights in the hall, and began to pack the disposable disinfection tableware.

Ying Hengnian said that there was a dinner party today, Lin Yu put the full tableware into the storage box, thinking that maybe Ying Hengnian was drunk again.This is too stomach ache, drunk twice in three days.Lin Yu closed the lid of the storage box, took out the rag from the bucket, I have to persuade him another day...

Suddenly, Bao Yi heard the bark of soybean oil.somebody is coming?Lin Yu didn't care too much. Soybean Oil always used the car parked at the door as the object of infringing on his territorial rights, and he liked to bark when he was full and strong.

Probably there is no place to park in the community.

"Ayu?"

The glass door was pushed open, and the old shaft made a "creaking—" noise.Lin Yu was thinking about who would come to see him at such a late hour, when he suddenly realized that it was Ying Hengnian's voice.

He, he called me "Ayu"?

"Do you still have a dog here?" Ying Hengnian asked happily when he heard the barking of soybean oil, "What breed?"

"Ying Hengnian, are you here to get the card?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Yu wanted to slap himself. Is this stupid?Why did you ask directly?How about greetings?Lin Yu, your brain was eaten by soybean oil?

Isn't it just a title, well, it's just a title.

"Yes, sorry for the trouble, Ayu." Ying Hengnian saw Lin Yu who was clearing the table beside table five, and strode forward, "It's so late and you haven't finished your work yet? It seems that the business is good. Do you want to help? "

"It's just a grass dog, nothing unusual." Lin Yu didn't turn his head, his neck was already stiff, and he could only hide his embarrassment with his back turned, "No, no, you sit first, I'll make you a cup of tea. "

"Don't be so troublesome." Ying Hengnian came up anyway, and stood beside Lin Yu, "I'll just get a card—and thank you last night, otherwise I'd have to crawl back."

Lin Yu nodded in a panic. He wanted to wipe his hands with a rag but felt that the rag was too oily.He turned slightly sideways to distance himself from Ying Hengnian.The sober Ying Hengnian was too aggressive, just standing on the side made Lin Yu feel suffocated.Lin Yu didn't know where his panic came from, he was very confused now.Surprise, fear, joy, disappointment, the appearance of Ying Hengnian is like a pair of egg flower chopsticks, mixing all Lin Yu's emotions together into a more complicated taste.

Lin Yu began to miss that smelly big drunk last night.

"Go and sit for a while, I'll come after I wash my hands." Lin Yu recovered his voice, "Have you had dinner... Are you full? No, if not, I'll make you some more."

Oh my god, what am I talking about, it's so late, he's already eaten supper, okay?Can't I say anything else but eat?Lin Yu just wanted to stick his head into the bucket at his feet and drown himself.

"I didn't eat enough, so I drank some wine." Ying Hengnian actually thought about Lin Yu's invitation seriously, "It's so late... Ayu, is it convenient for you?"

I am convenient, I am convenient, I am super convenient!

"It's okay." Although his heart was already spinning in circles with excitement, Lin Yu was still pretending to be calm on the surface, "Then what do you want to eat?"

Ying Hengnian's expression suddenly became a little strange. He paused, as if he was thinking about what to eat: "You...I want to eat sliced ​​pork with pepper."

"Sure." Lin Yu kicked the bucket away and went to table number nine to get an apron, "You sit down first, there is hot water next to the tea cabinet, you can get there yourself."

Ying Hengnian didn't relax his shoulders until the natural gas stove started rumbling in the back kitchen.

Just now he almost burst out laughing——Lin Yu's reaction was so funny, like a small antelope on the Nature Channel who encountered a piece of fat grass but was targeted by predators, obviously flustered and pretended to be calm, as if as long as he didn't Run and the predator will never pop up.

After watching the surveillance at the door before going out in the morning, Ying Hengnian's idol baggage has been completely lost, and the overlord who originally wanted to leave has been stranded since then.Looking at Lin Yu who was carrying himself step by step as he approached the gate, Ying Hengnian thought of giving up for a moment.Lin Yu is an honest person, Ying Hengnian felt that there was no need for him to forcefully enter his life and break his peace.But Lin Yu's appearance was particularly in line with Ying Hengnian's taste, and it was the kind of heart-piercing fit, which made Ying Hengnian reluctant to let go just like that.

"Besides, it's your wish to have fun. Everyone knows that people get along smoothly, and it's easy to break up in the end, and they are amiable and clean." Before coming to Lin Yu, Jiang Wenfan corresponded at the wine bureau Heng Nian said, "When you go, you have a bad attitude, be careful not to fall into the pit."

"Then you still collect girlfriends like you collect stamps?" Ying Hengnian clinked glasses with Jiang Wenfan, "Did you fall into a trap?"

"That's why I'm more careful when I've seen it a lot." Jiang Wenfan swung his wine glass and winked at Ying Hengnian, "I'm not like you, I just solve my physical needs, and my spirit is also very empty."

Ying Hengnian was too lazy to continue wrangling with him, so he turned around and started talking about the project with the person on the other side.

In fact, Ying Hengnian didn't plan to come tonight, there were a lot of things going on recently, he wanted to put these illusory things aside for a while, and then settle it properly when he was done with his work.But his subconscious mind just didn't want to let go so easily. When the car was about to reach the intersection, Ying Hengnian changed the address and asked the driver to take him to Heye.

The truth is, even with only one storefront lit, he feels at ease.

"Green pepper fried meat is ready, and I've warmed up some rice for you." Lin Yu came out with the dishes, and said to Hengnian, "Should I eat less rice? It's not good to eat too much at night."

"Just look at the rice." Ying Hengnian took off a pair of chopsticks, and the delicious aroma of the dishes aroused his hunger that was almost forgotten, "I'm really starving to death."

Lin Yu came out of the back kitchen with a big bowl for employees, put it in front of Ying Hengnian, and asked, "Don't you have dinner tonight? Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm not in the mood." Ying Hengnian picked up the meal, "I just think about how to calculate the other party, how to get more profits, and occasionally drink a sip of wine to moisten my throat, and the food basically doesn't move--it's a meal, eating is also eating I don't know the taste."

"That dish is quite pitiful." Lin Yu commented, "The meaning of its existence has become an ornament."

"What?" Ying Hengnian was amazed by this statement. He found that his understanding of Lin Yu was still too one-sided, but he continued to pretend to be wronged, "Why don't you pity me who is so hungry?"

"Without cherishing, there is no sympathy." Lin Yu shook his head and walked into the bar, "Eat your meal, I'm closing."
