Chapter 20: Another Home

Su Feng, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep over and over, she kept thinking about what happened during the day, she thought that she would definitely be accepted by this city with her own ability, but she didn't expect that she would go around and around and return to the starting point, the original lie turned out to be a reality, just when she was almost desperate, the appearance of Baojun gave her a glimmer of hope again, although the man still couldn't enter her heart, but his kindness really made her feel a little warm...... At this moment, Baojun who was lying on the bed was also thinking about everything that happened during the day, since the first time they met, he especially admired the bravery and strength of this woman, he didn't expect that two people who had no fate could meet again in the great Hashi, seeing her being bullied like that, but stubbornly still refusing to admit defeat, his heart throbbed for a moment. He didn't want to think about what would happen to the two of them in the future, he just wanted to help her go on in front of him......

This morning, Baojun deliberately asked for leave and did not unload the car with his co-workers, he borrowed a bicycle, came to the hotel early to wait for Su Feng, Su Feng checked out, just walked out of the hotel, and saw Baojun 1 meter away, who was standing under the root of the tree and kept looking here, seeing Su Feng struggling to carry two boxes, he hurriedly greeted him, took the box, and handed her the two fritters in his hand, "I haven't eaten yet, I bought it for you", Su Feng was a little embarrassed, and kept saying thank you. Baojun didn't care, he used a rope to fix the box on the bicycle, and the two of them pushed the cart and walked slowly, for a long time, Baojun took the lead in breaking the embarrassment "Do you have a nickname?" "Ah?" Su Feng was a little surprised by Baojun's question, and replied honestly, "When I was a child, my family called me Feng girl, but when I grew up, no one called me anymore, and I don't know if it is a nickname", "Oh!" , It was another long day of silence, Su Feng took the fritters in his hand and didn't eat it, just kept wrapping the bag with his fingers, letting the bag engorge his fingers for a while, then loosen it, and then engorge it...... "Don't be nervous, your job is very simple, it is to eat 2 meals a day in the morning and evening, and only count the 4 people you have" Baojun told Su Feng softly, Su Feng was a little puzzled, "Aren't you 12 people? Why do you only cook for so many people!", Baojun smiled slightly, "The work is easy, the salary remains the same, what's the matter, you are still not happy." ”。 Su Feng hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, it's just a little weird", "It's okay, there are only 3 people in the gang, so it's easier" Baojun comforted.

Looking at the clean and clean little shack in front of him, although it is a little simple, but the daily necessities can be said to be readily available, as small as a soap box, as large as a second-hand wardrobe, Su Feng's nose was a little sour, she inhaled hard, Baojun thought that Su Feng disliked this small shack, and quickly explained, "Don't worry, we only have summer so much, and when it comes to winter, let's go rent a house!", Su Feng smiled hard and waved his hand, "It's very good here, really, thank you so much!" Don't always say thank you in the future, we are from a county, and we are also fellow villagers, of course we have to help each other outside, and ha, here is 870 yuan, you collect it, there is a month's salary and a month's food expenses in it", Baojun took out a thick pile of banknotes from his trouser pocket, there are many denominations, I think a few people have already made it up yesterday, Su Feng has never touched so much money in her hands since she was a child, she didn't dare to wave her hand again and again" This is too much, I'm afraid of losing it, besides, why aren't you afraid of me, let's give it to me by the day!", Baojun grabbed Su Feng's arm and pressed the money into her hand, "Let you take it, your only task now is to think about what to cook for us, those two gluttonous cats have a bad mouth!", Su Feng held it carefully, she was afraid that she would accidentally lose one, she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will cook, and I will definitely feed you to be a big fat man in the future" Hahaha, the two of them laughed together, it was close to noon, Baojun was about to take Su Feng to the nearby vegetable market to recognize Lu and have lunch by the way, Su Feng refused and said, "You go to work quickly, I can ask passers-by, and I haven't eaten the fritters in the morning, go early and return early, and I'll cook for you in the evening", Baojun was no longer humble, hurriedly changed his clothes and set off, he wanted to make up for the missing pieces in the morning. After Su Feng saw Baojun leaving, she looked around, and she was thinking about this "huge amount" In the end, it is safe to put it there, thinking about it, she found a needle and thread in the box, and took out the previous rag and cut it carefully, sewed it into a small cloth bag, after loading the money, stepped on the stool and put the small cloth bag on the top of the wardrobe, and pressed one of the empty camphor wood boxes on it, and looked at the place where she hid the money with satisfaction, Su Feng began to plan to go to the street to find the market, the tarpaulin curtain was intimately sewn on the hinge by Baojun, and bought a big lock, Su Feng carefully locked the "door" , looked around nervously, but immediately laughed at himself, "How can a thief come to such a place to steal!"

The grocery store proprietress at the entrance of the street enthusiastically reminded Su Feng that there is a night market called Shangkan far away from these two intersections, which can only start after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but there are also vendors selling vegetables during the day, but there are not so many people, Su Feng calculated the time, and asked the location of the grain and oil store, and decided to buy some rice and flour oil first, the master of the grain and oil store looked at her alone, and proposed that she could buy more and then help her deliver it to the door, and after a while, 50 catties of rice, 50 catties of flour, 20 catties of soybean oil, and 10 catties of millet were carried back, Su Feng rushed to the vegetable market non-stop, and slowly and leisurely, she chose 2 catties of backbone, 2 cucumbers and a bag of dried tofu, as well as 1 kohlrabi and 2 tomatoes, the rest of the spices of onions, ginger and garlic are the same as the ingredients, a circle down, the hand has been stuffed full, she was pleased to find that the street and the end of the street with the same ingredients, but the price is much different, even in a section of the road, but the price on the left and right side of the street will be slightly different, she felt for the first time that life was so delicious.

The bones have been stewed in the pot for nearly 2 hours, Su Feng has already stacked all the dishes, ready for them to come back and fry the vegetarian dishes, but everyone has not seen the figure for a long time, Su Feng simply turned off the stove, moved a small bench to sit outside the shack and waited, I don't know how long I dozed off, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already dark, Su Feng rubbed her eyes, her buttocks were numb, she staggered up and glanced into the room, it was more than half past nine, she opened the pot and looked at the bones that had been cooled both distressed and anxious, but she didn't know where they were working, she couldn't go out to find them, just when she was annoyed that she had done it too early, there was laughter not far away, and she listened carefully, It was Baojun who came back with everyone, she immediately came to the spirit, lit the stove to heat the bones, everyone came back, one by one as if they had been lying in the ash heap for a day, the dirty could not be recognized, everyone took out the basin one after another and prepared to wash outside the house, someone sniffed hard, "What is the stew in the middle of the night so fragrant, and it doesn't let people sleep!" After speaking, everyone laughed, Huazi ran over with a smile and called, "Sister Feng, what are you eating today", Su Feng smiled shyly, "stewed backbone, mixed cold vegetables, fried kohlrabi", " Then I have to wash it quickly, but I'm starving to death" Baojun saw Su Feng preparing to stir-fry, and said embarrassedly, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet", Su Feng smiled, "You haven't eaten, what sleep am I sleeping, hurry up and wash your face and change clothes, the food will be good immediately", a row of men said and laughed, "Brother Gong, go out and drink some in a while!", Gong Lao Er pouted his eyes, "Why don't you drink, I'm tired for a day, isn't it just for this little yellow soup, what's the matter, let me smell it here", "Then I'll go ...... too" "I'll go ...... too" Five or six people chattered in response, hastily washed up, changed their clothes and went to the food stall, and some of the remaining people took out instant noodles and baked cakes and chewed them on pickles, Huazi deliberately teased Shunzi, "Shunzi, don't you follow to rub some!", Shunzi smiled "I'm not going, we also have good dishes today!", after speaking, he quickly wiped his face, and ran towards the grocery store without waiting for the basin to be cleaned, Su Feng was curious, "What are you doing!", Huazi said, "Buy wine, this kid is greedy!"!

The three people who washed up and cleaned up sat around the small table in Su Feng's shack and began to devour and eat, Su Feng looked at a few people apologetically, "I didn't know that you finished work so late, the bones may have been stewed so hard, you will just eat a meal, I will definitely pay attention tomorrow!", Baojun heard Su Feng's words and immediately explained, "It's okay, it's so messy, it's just right, besides, we didn't get off work on time, you can wait for us to come back and do it, if we haven't come back after 8 o'clock, you don't have to cook for us, wash and sleep by yourself" The two of them stuffed their mouths full of meat, and vaguely said "Yes, yes", Junzi kicked Baojun under the table, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, let's make it like this, eat meat, and eat several dishes, can that little food cost be for a month?" Baojun hurriedly gave him a look and told him to shut up, Su Feng looked at the concerns of several people, and happily shared the "secret" she found in the market with everyone, and assured everyone that she didn't dare to say that there was a balance in her food expenses for a month, but it was definitely enough, and she could have three dishes a day in the future. A few people talked and laughed and finished eating quickly, Shunzi and Huazi went back to their shacks to prepare to rest, Baojun took the initiative to stay, to help Su Feng clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Su Feng found that although Shunzi gave Baojun a glass of beer, but Baojun never drank a sip from beginning to end, seeing Su Feng holding the wine glass stunned, Baojun said, "Don't feel distressed, pour it, I don't drink", Su Feng was curious, "You can't drink?", Baojun smiled "I can drink, but I don't drink" , Seeing that it was half past ten, Su Feng urged Baojun to hurry back to rest and stop helping, but Baojun was still next to Su Feng as if he couldn't hear it, watching Su Feng wash the dishes and look fascinated, Baojun seemed to be telling himself and Su Feng "I haven't eaten at home for a long time", Su Feng didn't understand what he meant, and smiled "When the Chinese New Year comes, let's go home together, won't you be able to eat?" Seeing that Su Feng was going to put the remaining 2 bones and a small bowl of kohlrabi into the bowl rack, Baojun suddenly remembered something, and he said again and again" You wait for me, I'll be back soon" After speaking, he ran into the shack quickly, and in less than 2 minutes, he ran out with a smile, and asked Su Feng to give him the leftover rice and leftovers, he wanted to take it away, although Su Feng was puzzled, but he still put the bones and soup directly into the rice and handed it to Baojun, and when he came out again, it was already empty, Su Feng didn't ask, but obediently the bowl continued to be washed, and Baojun saw that Su Feng didn't ask, so he took the initiative to step forward and lower his voice. We have a Song Weiguo here, his family has 5 children, the youngest is still breastfeeding, the little land shared by the whole family is not enough at all, the salary he usually pays is basically sent back home, and the money left in his pocket can't take care of the first half of the month, so he basically eats at the employer's place at noon, a man in his 30s, boiled like an old man who is almost 50, blame the pitiful, we can't eat it, and if it is left bad, it is better to give it to him", Su Feng nodded vigorously, she knew that life was not easy and the most unbearable......

Lying on the wire bed, Su Feng turned back and forth, she had never slept with such a soft thing, although it was uncomfortable, but her heart was still beautiful, the air was filled with the aftertaste of the meal made her feel down-to-earth and comfortable, she thought, such a day, if she lived like this for the rest of her life, she would be happy, but God would give her this steadfastness for a lifetime, slowly, her consciousness began to blur, and her ears seemed to be vaguely hearing the palace elder and a few people humming a little song, and came back noisily......
