Chapter 7 Mutton Rice Noodles
My mother sold out a load of pickles at the market price of one yuan per catty.
I got forty-five yuan, which doesn't seem like much, but it's enough to buy a family's New Year's goods.
Mom was also very happy, "Xiaoxi, you go and see what you like to eat, and you can buy whatever you want." He touched Xiaoxi's forehead and said.
"Yes yes, mom, let's go over there and see," Xiao Xi took her mother's hand and walked towards the shop not far away.
It is a "food street", where a dazzling array of food is placed, not only snacks, but also cooked food, and even this "Xinjiang mutton skewers" are also set up here.
"Xiaoxi, let's eat a bowl of rice noodles at the mutton rice noodles next to us first. It's so cold, drink some mutton soup and eat some mutton to warm up. Mom saw the "Zeng's Mutton Rice Noodles" next to her and said.
Mother grabbed Xiaoxi's little hand, which was already red from the cold, and rubbed Xiaoxi's hand, trying to cover it hot.
Xiao Xi was wearing a torn cotton jacket with several patches, and her little face was also red from the cold.
"Mom, I'm not cold, I don't have to spend money to buy mutton rice noodles anymore," Xiao Xi looked at the mutton rice noodle shop a little reluctantly.
The aroma of the mutton rice noodle soup has always stimulated her sense of smell, although she really wants to taste the taste of the mutton rice noodle.
She had never tasted the taste of mutton rice noodles, maybe the mutton rice noodles were delicious, Xiaoxi just thought about it.
Immediately thinking of the current situation at home, Xiao Xi also swallowed her saliva and forcibly removed her eyes from the mutton rice noodle shop.
My mother also saw this scene, and she laughed a little inexplicably and felt a little sad.
Other people's children often eat these and eat impatiently, but their own children have never eaten them once, and can only look at them with their eyes.
Seeing that Xiaoxi wanted to go but didn't want to go, her mother had already guessed what she was thinking.
dragged her to the shop of "Zeng's Mutton Rice Noodles".
"Boss, come to a bowl of mutton rice noodles, my mother didn't wait for Xiaoxi to speak, and said directly to the boss.
"Okay, let's have a bowl of mutton rice noodles," the boss said to the back kitchen.
"Xiao Xi, sit here, you will obediently finish eating this bowl of mutton rice noodles," my mother picked a place inside and let Xiao Xi sit down.
"Mom, why did you only order one bowl, what about yours?" Xiao Xi was slightly puzzled, "Mom is not hungry, and Mom doesn't like to eat mutton rice noodles, Xiao Xi can eat alone." ”
Mother looked at Xiao Xi full of doting, and Xiao Xi nodded as if she didn't understand.
The mutton rice noodles are here, the hot rice noodles are hot, and the aroma of the mutton comes to the nostrils, which makes people appetite.
Xiao Xi ran to the boss at once, "Uncle, can you take another bowl," the boss was stunned by Xiao Xi's sudden move.
Of course, he immediately took a pair of chopsticks from the back kitchen and handed them to Xiaoxi. ”
"Thank you, uncle," Xiao Xi ran to the seat with the chopsticks and handed them to her mother.
"Mom, let's eat together, I can't finish such a big bowl," he said, trying to pick a part of the bowl with his chopsticks.
But Xiaoxi is too small now, and she can't afford to pick up this rice noodle, but she helps the soup splash all over the table.
Without waiting for my mother to pick it up, the boss next to me kept watching this scene, and then said to the back kitchen, "Give this table two more bowls of mutton rice noodles, and ask for a big bowl, more meat, more noodles and more soup." ”
"Boss, we don't want those two bowls, we don't have so much money to pay. Mom said to the boss.
"Don't want money, don't want money, it's rare to see this little girl so filial, I feel moved. The boss looked at them, and the mother and son were very kind.
"How can this be, big brother, you also have to do business, it's all hard, we can't accept it, I understand your kindness, but this is really not good. "Mom postponed.
Two large bowls of mutton rice noodles came, "Don't shirk it, you see this is already done, you can only pour it if you don't want to, can you bear to waste it?"
As he spoke, the boss took two large bowls of mutton rice noodles and handed them to the table.
"Boss, come three bowls of mutton rice noodles," a family of three came in, shouting at the boss.
"Okay, I'll bring it up right away, a few of you, come and sit here," the boss busied as he beckoned the guest to sit on the chair next to him.
"Xiaoxi, look, what I said, there are still many good people in the world, Xiaoxi eat quickly, let's go buy some New Year's goods later," after speaking, he picked the mutton in his bowl to Xiaoxi.
"Eat more mutton, it's good for the body, warm the body. "Mom didn't care about eating herself, so she kept picking it into Xiaoxi's bowl.
"Mom, you eat too," Xiao Xi picked up the mutton from the bowl and fed it to her mother.
"Xiaoxi is so well-behaved, so obedient," the mother and son ate happily, and the ice and snow did not wear out people's warm hearts.
Even if the whole world is plunged into darkness, there will always be a small flame bursting out of the fire of life, warming people's hearts in this ice and snow.
The seeds of gratitude in Xiaoxi's heart have also begun to sprout, although there is darkness and indifference around her, but there is more light and kindness around her.
Xiao Xi looked at this middle-aged man, a person she didn't know before, but in this cold winter, it warmed her already frozen heart.
It turns out that there will be good people in the world, and when I grow up, I will also be like this uncle, helping others and bringing warmth to others.
