private kitchen

"Brother!!" He Qingshan put down the bowl and looked up happily, with a rare touch of intimacy in his tone: "Why did you come back so early today?"

A tall man in his early thirties opened the door and came in. He took two bags of things and put them on the table. While taking off his coat, he smiled and said, "It's rare that there is no traffic jam today. I came back after running. Why are you alone at home?" ?”

"Have you eaten yet? Where's sister-in-law?" He Qingshan asked again.

"There's something wrong with his mother. I'm going back to my mother's house today!" The man hung up his clothes, wiped his face, sat down, and looked around: "Where are my parents? Is there any porridge? Serve me some bowl."

"I've all gone to old Uncle Zhang's house! I guess I won't be back until a while!" He Qingshan served him a bowl, and took out two plates of pickles from the refrigerator, and the two of them sat at the table and drank the porridge.

Xu Hao said while drinking porridge, "Uncle Zhang? Is it about demolition?"

"En!" He Qingshan nodded: "I'm talking about some things about the allocated housing. It seems that our place will be demolished next month! Construction has started in the south, and it should be demolished by the end of next month at the latest. .”

Xu Hao sighed: "Hey, it's pretty fast! I thought it would take another month." He took a sip of the porridge, why did he sip his mouth twice, and scooped the porridge with a spoon, suddenly He reached out his hand and knocked on the table, with a mysterious look on his face: "This porridge... Let me guess, um... Did you make honey ham for Master Hu again today? How much material did you steal from him? ?”

He Qingshan smiled triumphantly: "Your tongue is smarter than a cat!!" He leaned back, cocked his legs and gestured with pride on his face: "I scratched such a big piece of his flesh, I made the old man angry of……"

Xu Hao smiled as he drank the porridge: "Master Hu is really, every time you take advantage of him, he rushes to find you every day to cook for him!"

He Qingshan said confidently: "Why don't you say that he used to get me up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night to cook for him!! The old man voluntarily!! Who told him he likes this!"

The two brothers were chatting and laughing, when the door was pushed open suddenly, a man and a woman walked in, Xu Hao turned his head and said, "Dad, aunt, are you two back?"

Xu Anguo gave a grunt, turned around and sat on the sofa, seemingly in a bad mood, Yu Qinghong hung up his clothes and said, "Just drink porridge! There are buns in the refrigerator, you two eat them hot!"

"I'm hungry on the way, I bought some biscuits to eat!!" Xu Hao turned his head to look at them, and asked with concern, "How is it going! When will it be demolished?"

Yu Qinghong sighed, her tone was a bit dull: "It's the beginning of next month, I'm going to move at the end of the month!"

Xu Hao and He Qingshan glanced at each other: "Then our shop..."

Xu Anguo thanked him again, he straightened his back, wiped his face, and ordered: "Qingshan, post a notice tomorrow, we will close next week..."

He Qingshan's complexion was a little ugly, and the room suddenly became quiet. Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Yu Qinghong smiled quickly: "We will be able to move to a new home at the end of the month, and the state will give you a lot of compensation. , wait until it settles down and then open the store..."

The two brothers still didn't speak, Xu Anguo looked at them and suddenly laughed out loud, walked over and rubbed the heads of the two sons: "That's fine, your mother and I just have a rest, I'll take your mother Go out for a walk, these years because of our store, your mother and I have never gone out to play, and the government-provided housing is also close to Xu Hao's station, Qingshan...

As he said that, he turned his head, with a hint of love and hope in his eyes, and his tone softened a lot: "Qingshan can just go out and find a bigger restaurant, find a good teacher, and learn his skills. In our place, too I'm tired of your craft!"

He Qingshan shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. He has been helping Xu Ji since he was a teenager, and now that the door is about to close suddenly, he really feels uncomfortable.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to part with that old and small shop, this crowded and dilapidated home, and his neighbors Uncle Chen, Mr. Hu's family, Brother Liu, and Zhang's family... His chest seemed to be blocked, and he lifted the Start by asking Xu Anguo: "Then Mr. Hu and the others..."

"Our old neighbors basically moved in the same district as us, but the distance is far away. It's impossible to drop by as casually as we do now! But it's okay, everyone can get together on weekends!" Xu Anguo looked at him Still looking sluggish, he stretched out his hand and flicked on his forehead, and sneered: "Look at you kid, there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever, you have to go out to practice and practice, and when you come back, let's open a bigger and better restaurant .”

He Qingshan pawed at the porridge, and gave a soft acknowledgment.

Seeing that he was still not happy, Xu Anguo rubbed his hair vigorously again: "Write a notice after dinner!" He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "Next week, our old Customers, all meals are free!"

The sister-in-law didn't come back, so the two brothers squeezed into the same bed, but tonight both of them couldn't sleep, and they looked at the ceiling with their eyes open.

"Brother!" He Qingshan said suddenly, he seemed to be a bit disbelieving: "Our house is really going to be demolished?"

Xu Haoen said: "Dad didn't you just say that, next month... I will push it all..."

"Brother!" He Qingshan called again: "How long have you lived here?"

Xu Hao sighed: "I came here with my parents when I was three or four years old, it's been almost 30 years!" He said with a smile: "I didn't have you when I came here!"

"Brother..." He Qingshan elongated his voice, and there was a bit of coquettishness in his voice: "I really can't bear it, you looked at the paintings in the room, and you posted them for me!" He said even And moved closer to him.

Xu Hao seemed a little unaccustomed to his occasional coquettish behavior, so he stretched out his hand and pushed his head, and reprimanded him with a low smile: "Yo Yo Yo, what are you doing? How old are you and you still act like a baby! My dad is right, Your craftsmanship is too inferior in our small restaurant, turn around and ask your friends to see if there is any big restaurant recruiting..."

He Qingshan muttered in a low voice: "I don't have a diploma, and I don't have any work experience. I'm just a handyman in a big restaurant..."

Xu Hao smiled, and put his arms around his neck: "Just do odd jobs, it's okay, take your time, I believe in your skills, our family's life will gradually get better..." He touched his neck as he spoke. He Qingshan's head: "Sleep, I have to get up early to open the shop tomorrow!!"

He Qingshan thanked him, then stared at the ceiling for a while, in a daze, there were many shadows of people in front of him, coaxing his grandfather with candied haws. The children clamoring to eat their Xu Ji osmanthus cake, these people came and went, and finally settled on Mr. Huzi's white and fat face that was always beaming with joy. He was pointing his face with a finger : "Boy, your skill is far worse than your grandfather's!!"
