nothing special

The restaurants are extremely popular on Valentine’s Day, so if you don’t make a reservation in advance, of course you won’t be able to find a seat.

Ren Qinghong led Lu Shan to an alley, through a small alley to a barbecue restaurant.

If it weren't for the tables and chairs outside the store full of people, no one would have thought that there is a barbecue shop deep in the alley.

This store was also accidentally discovered by Ren Qinghong when he was surfing the Internet a few days ago. It has a good reputation and many people come here just because of its name.

Today's barbecue restaurant is also doing better business than usual, but fortunately there are still two places left.

"Come to have a barbecue? There is still room here." The boss warmly greeted Ren Qinghong and the others to sit down.

"The two girls are here for the first time, what do you want to eat?" the proprietress of the barbecue shop greeted.

"What's in here?" Ren Qinghong asked.

"It's all in the freezer at the back, and there's a basket next to it. Just pick what you like and put it in the basket for us. The grilled fish in our store tastes very good, why don't you have a separate one?" The proprietress pointed A large freezer in the distance.

"Okay." Ren Qinghong replied.

"Soda and beer are at the back, just take it yourself." The proprietress of the barbecue shop told Ren Qinghong.

After Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan selected the ingredients, "there are a little too many people, it may take a while." The proprietress informed.

"Okay, right, are there lobsters at this time?" Ren Qinghong saw a plate of lobsters on a table of guests.

"Some of them are raised by themselves, and they are cleaner than those outside." The proprietress of the barbecue shop said,

"Okay, let's have a plate." It is said that the lobster in this barbecue shop is also good.

"Okay." The proprietress of the barbecue shop said with a smile.

Ren Qinghong chose two cans of herbal tea, and some herbal tea should be served with the barbecue.

When she returned to her seat, she saw that Lu Shan was playing with her mobile phone. When she saw Ren Qinghong came back, she put away her mobile phone and smiled at Ren Qinghong.

"We'll have to wait a while, there are too many people." Ren Qinghong said.

"It's okay." Lu Shan smiled.

The people who come to eat barbecue are mainly students in twos and threes, and of course there are also many couples.

The main reason is that this barbecue restaurant is much more affordable than the ones outside, and the yellow price list posted on the wall seems to have not changed for several years.

It is really rare in this era of soaring prices, not to mention that the owner of this barbecue restaurant is an honest person, so the ingredients are cleaner and safer than outside.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the proprietress put the food ordered by the two together.

Barbecued meat, grilled bacon, grilled chicken legs, various vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, and the aroma of cumin after grilling allure people's taste.

"It's the first time for me to eat barbecue like this." There are many first memories with Ren Qinghong, and now there is one more.

"Haven't you eaten these before?" Ren Qinghong asked in surprise.

Lu Shan shook her head, smiled and said, "No."

Most of Lu Shan's childhood was spent working and taking care of her younger siblings. The situation in the village is basically the same. When the harvest is not good, let alone eating this kind of barbecue, it is a problem whether you can eat enough.

What instant noodles are, Lu Shan didn't know until she came to the city, not to mention KFC, McDonald's foreign fast food.

I remember that one year the whole family only ate baked sweet potatoes and potatoes for their daily lives. In order to provide the children with basic nutrition, Lu Shan's parents walked more than ten miles to the town to exchange sweet potatoes and potatoes for a few eggs.

They are reluctant to eat it themselves, and leave it to several children, and the family shares an egg.

Thinking of those difficult years, Lu Shan felt uneasy, but luckily she survived even the most difficult times.

Ren Qinghong noticed that the corners of Lu Shan's eyes were wet, "Lu Shan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Lu Shan was fascinated by the memory.

Ren Qinghong's eyes still did not move away, the look of Lu Shan just now made people feel really distressed.

Ren Qinghong picked up a chicken leg and put it on Lu Shan's plate, "Eat it, it will be cold in a while."

Lu Shan raised her head to look at Ren Qinghong, and nodded with a smile.

The past doesn't matter now, does it?

A fountain pool was set up on the central square, and many people threw coins by the fountain pool to make wishes.

Packing the unfinished barbecue, Ren Qinghong held the packed bag in one hand and led Lu Shan in the other.

"A lot of people." Ren Qinghong frowned unceasingly.

"Then let's go back." Lu Shan knew that Ren Qinghong didn't like crowds.

"It's okay, it's a rare one, let's go and have a look." Ren Qinghong didn't want to spoil the fun, it's rare to go shopping like this, there's no reason to leave early.

As the crowd moves near the central pool.

"Do you want to make a wish?" Ren Qinghong asked.

Lu Shan shook her head, "It's just an ordinary pool, can you really make a wish?"

"Sincere heart is effective, you can try it." Ren Qinghong said.

"Then why don't you go?" Lu Shan asked.

"It's all played by little girls." Ren Qinghong said with a light smile.

"You said it as if you were very old." Lu Shan always felt that Ren Qinghong had too many vicissitudes of life. Although he was only 26 years old, sometimes it seemed that he had lived 62 years.

Ren Qinghong gave Lu Shan a few coins and brought her to the side of the fountain. "Go, I'll wait for you over there."

Lu Shan glanced at Ren Qinghong and walked into the crowd.

Ren Qinghong retreated to the tree that was far away from the fountain, and kept looking at the crowd.

Ren Qinghong felt someone tug at the corner of her clothes, and looked down to see a four or five year old girl.

"Sister, do you want to buy a rose?" The little girl raised her head to look at Ren Qinghong with her eyes wide open.

Ren Qinghong saw that the little girl was carrying a small flower basket in her hand, and there were a few beautifully packaged roses in the basket, and there were scattered money under the roses.

"Little friend, are you the only one selling flowers?" The little girl was selling flowers here despite her well-dressed clothes.

"My parents are right there." The little girl pointed not far away.

Sure enough, a man and a woman were watching here.

"Mom said that all the money from selling flowers will be donated to the children in the mountainous area. Sister, you should buy one too." The little girl said.

It turned out to be like this, Ren Qinghong admired this child's parents' way of education.

"Okay, I'll buy one too." Ren Qinghong said with a smile.

The little girl was so happy that she specially chose the most beautiful rose and handed it to Ren Qinghong.

"Sister, you are so kind, thank you sister."

Ren Qinghong patted the little girl's head.

When Lu Shan turned around after making her wish, she saw Ren Qinghong standing under the tree.

"For you." Ren Qinghong handed the bouquet of roses in his hand to Lu Shan.

Lu Shan looked at her in surprise.

"It's not like you don't like this one after you have a bunch of beautiful flowers." Ren Qinghong said in a slightly awkward tone.

"How come, I like it very much." Lu Shan smiled sweetly, and took this exquisitely packaged rose from Ren Qinghong's hand.

"Thank you." Her fingertips lightly touched the delicate and beautiful flowers, and there were slight ripples in her heart.

"Actually, I just borrowed flowers to present to Buddha. Just now a little girl said that she sold flowers to donate to children in mountainous areas, so she bought one." Ren Qinghong explained, but felt that his explanation was a bit redundant.

"Thank you anyway." Lu Shan said with a smile.

Ren Qinghong blushed in embarrassment, "Did you make a wish just now?"

"En." Lu Shan nodded.

"May I ask what you wished for?"

"Will it come true if you say it?" Lu Shan asked.

Ren Qinghong raised his eyebrows, "Maybe."

"Then I said it."

"Um"

"I hope Ren Qinghong will be happy every day and not frown all the time."

Lu Shan's relaxed exposition brought endless waves to Ren Qinghong.

"What you said, I will make it come true, right?" Lu Shan asked with a smile.

Ren Qinghong was stunned and smiled, "Well, as long as I have you by my side, I will be happy every day."

Was this an indirect confession? When Lu Shan heard this, a suspicious blush appeared on Lu Shan's face.

"Wow!" There was a burst of noise in front of me.

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan looked up, and it turned out that the fountain was spraying water, which looked even more gorgeous under the colorful lights, attracting everyone's amazement.

Ren Qinghong saw a couple kissing by the fountain pool as if no one else was around, and the onlookers even took pictures.

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan smiled at each other, holding each other's hand and walking towards home.

When I returned to the community, I found several police cars and ambulances parked at the entrance of the community, and the lights on the cars were flickering.

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan walked into the gate with doubts, only to see many onlookers surrounded by the dim light of the small building, and a man's cry was also mixed in.

The doorman also shook his head and sighed.

"What happened?" Ren Qinghong walked to the doorman and asked.

The old man said regretfully, "A little girl in the front unit committed suicide by jumping off the building."

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan were shocked.

The girl who jumped from the building was a foreigner, she lived on the fifth floor of Unit [-], two buildings before Ren Qinghong's house, she was a very polite little girl.

The doorman had a good impression of this little girl.

She also lived with her boyfriend. It is said that the girl had a big fight with his boyfriend before jumping off the building, and the boy left in anger.

It didn't take long for the girl to jump off the building.

After the girl jumped off the building, someone called the police and called 120. After the ambulance arrived at the scene, the medical staff confirmed that the girl was dead. Now they are waiting for the funeral home's car to take the girl's body away.

The girl's boyfriend also rushed back after receiving a call from the police. He couldn't believe that the girl who was alive and kicking a few minutes ago just died like this.

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan both sighed after hearing this.

"Isn't this noisy thing a common occurrence? How difficult is it? Why bother to think about such a trivial matter." The doorman sighed again.

Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan looked at each other, while lamenting the fragility of life, Ren Qinghong also thought of his former self.

There was a shallow scar on Ren Qinghong's wrist, she touched the scar subconsciously, not long ago she was so fragile.

"Let's go back." Ren Qinghong said.

"En." Lu Shan glanced at the crowd in front of her again and replied softly.

Bid farewell to the guard Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan and went home.
