Chapter 24: Expired Instant Noodles
In the slums, unlike the streets outside and street lamps, there is so much darkness that you can only walk in the light of other people's homes or shops.
Although the slums are mixed, the security here is not bad, because there is a special group of people "protect".
At the beginning of every month, they will go door-to-door to collect protection money, and if you don't give it, hehe, then they will definitely let you know what the most delicate red looks like.
Wu Xuepeng is not happy here, thanks to his poor father, but the past has dissipated like smoke, and no matter how much he wrongs himself, it will be useless.
Fortunately, although he looks weak on the outside, his personality is unusually tough.
He goes to class during the day, picks up garbage after school, or spends his days on rotten vegetables that others don't want in the vegetable market, and on weekends he goes to the construction site to move bricks, which is his main source of income.
His strength is not as big as that of others, so he only has 50 yuan a day, which he begged the contractor to accept him, and the contractor saw that he had a low price and was very diligent in his work, so he agreed.
When Wu Xuepeng came to a dilapidated house with the white rabbit in his arms, they finally arrived home.
"Squeak..." Wu Xuepeng turned the door lock and pushed open the old wooden door.
The house was very dark, and there was a damp smell, Wu Xuepeng did not close the door immediately, he fumbled around the house with the rabbit for a while, and then lit a candle, the dim candle light is very weak, if you breathe a little louder, it may blow it out.
Wu Xuepeng first put the white rabbit on his wooden bed, and then washed his face with clean water, the cold tap water wet his delicate cheeks, so that his heart calmed down, too many things happened this day, he had to sort out his thoughts well, so as to better spend the days to come.
There was only one mattress on the plank bed, not even decent sheets and bedding, and even his pillow... It's also just an old piece of clothing.
Yue Ziyun stood up on the bed, she tilted her head to look at her master, only to see that he had found two white steamed buns and a pot of water in the dim light.
Wu Xuepeng took the white steamed bun and bit it hard, after what he had just done, he had already given birth to a strong heart of transformation in his heart, since his father could become a billionaire from nothing, then why couldn't he?
Just like many people in this world, they always complain about their family background, and they also have a kind of bastard thinking - why are they not the children of rich families?
But the vast majority of people do not have the courage to do so, and they have to transfer their incompetence and inaction to others, especially their parents.
After Wu Xuepeng finished eating a steamed bun, he poured himself a large pot of cold white boil, he touched his stomach, felt not so hungry, and put the remaining steamed buns again.
"Huhu..."Yue Ziyun saw the sweetness of his food, and immediately wanted to taste his dinner.
"Little rabbit, what's wrong?" Wu Xuepeng touched the white rabbit's head and asked.
His palm is very gentle, and there is a faint fragrance, Yue Ziyun can't tell what it tastes like, but she doesn't hate it, and even likes it a little, she can sense their intentions from other people's attitudes towards her, but she only feels tenderness from Wu Xuepeng's hands, and there is no intention.
"Whew...," Yue Ziyun continued to look at him and called.
At this moment, how she longed to be able to speak, but she did not understand the language, and what they said sounded to her like a book from heaven.
If Yue Ziyun could speak at this time, she would definitely say this - hand over all the delicious food, and His Royal Highness will eat delicious meat.
"Where are you uncomfortable?" Wu Xuepeng said softly.
His eyes were very clear, as clear as a pool of water, so quiet and peaceful.
"Huhu..."Yue Ziyun repeated weakly, she could speak very few words, and she didn't know if he could understand what she meant.
Wu Xuepeng stood up without warning, and then took the steamed bun he had just collected back in his hand, and after the white rabbit shouted several times, he finally understood that he had not done anything.
What do you do to a pet when you get it? Presumably either bathe him or feed him something, but unfortunately, Wu Xuepeng didn't do either of those.
"Eat. Wu Xuepeng tore up the steamed bun and put it in front of the white rabbit.
Yue Ziyun saw that he finally offered his food, and her heart was suddenly happy, she put her rabbit nose close to the steamed buns, and then sniffed them, but she didn't smell the expected fragrance, the steamed buns didn't smell anything, and she couldn't arouse Yue Ziyun's interest in eating at all.
She lay down on the bed again, her eyes looked at the steamed dandruff in front of her, with a deep despair in her heart, let's continue to be hungry, hey...
"Don't you like it?" Wu Xuepeng asked.
Yue Ziyun didn't answer, she saw Wu Xuepeng chewing on steamed buns in a big gulp, and thought how delicious this thing was, it turned out to be just a kind of food that was so light and tasteless that she had no friends, which was very different from what she ate at Hebo's house, and suddenly, she missed Hebo's family a little, they really treated her as a fairy in those days, no matter what it was, she would always be the first to enjoy it, but this is already in the past, she can only sigh silently in her heart.
"Little pity, I know you like to eat carrots, I'll go find you some tomorrow, can you just take it today?" Wu Xuepeng put the steamed bun crumbs in the palm of his hand, and then sent it towards Yue Ziyun's mouth.
When Yue Ziyun saw him put the unpalatable steamed bun crumbs in front of her, she suddenly showed a disgusted expression, and then, she turned her head to the side and stopped looking at the unpalatable thing.
"You're a picky eater. Wu Xuepeng touched Yue Ziyun's head, her hair was particularly soft, and it was very comfortable to touch in the palm of her hand.
Wu Xuepeng's mind suddenly recalled a sweet voice - then you have to take good care of her, this is what Liu Jiayu said to him, although they have been gone for some time, her words are still deeply ingrained in his head, as if they have been carved in.
Wu Xuepeng searched in the dimly lit room, and he remembered that he still had a pack of expired fast food noodles, yes, expired, which he had picked up next to the garbage bin at a convenience store.
A place like this is what he likes to care for the most, because there is always a windfall here, but there are many people who think the same way as him, so he can't always get something, it's all up to luck.
Wu Xuepeng boiled a pot of hot water with a hot one, and then brewed fast food noodles, he didn't have a gas stove at home, and he didn't even have a pot, if he wanted to cook something, it all depended on this hot fast, he couldn't help but be grateful in his heart to the person who invented the fast heat, otherwise people like him don't know how to cook.
You may wonder why Wu Xuepeng has such feelings, it is because when he usually cooks vegetables, he also uses them quickly.
After a few minutes, a bowl of fragrant fast food noodles was soaked, then he sprinkled the seasoning packet, and finally he served the fast food noodles in front of the white rabbit.
Yue Ziyun smelled this special smell, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach were all hooked out, she stood up excitedly, watching the fast food noodles get closer and closer to her.
"I knew you'd like it. Wu Xuepeng said with a smile. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten to cook fast food noodles for White Rabbit, just because he only had expired fast food noodles except for steamed buns.
"Huhu..."Yue Ziyun shouted happily, this is the taste she likes.
"Be careful, I'll feed you. Wu Xuepeng said softly. If you know him, you'll like him because he's so understanding.
He held the fast food noodles with chopsticks and put them in the palm of his hand, and then deliberately blew them to cool them before finally feeding them to the mouth of the white rabbit.
Yue Ziyun couldn't wait to taste it, although this thing looked strange in her eyes, it didn't prevent her from eating it with relish.
Wu Xuepeng saw that the white rabbit ate sweetly, but there was a trace of worry in his heart, it shouldn't matter if he fed the white rabbit fast food noodles, right? After all, many animals can't eat indiscriminately, just like dogs can't eat chocolate.
If Yue Ziyun could hear what Wu Xuepeng was thinking from the bottom of her heart, then she would definitely tell him - it's okay, it's okay, His Royal Highness has also eaten meat.
A bowl of fast food noodles quickly bottomed out, but Yue Ziyun still looked unsatisfied.
"No, since you like it, I'll feed you later, you have to be good. Wu Xuepeng touched Yue Ziyun's head and comforted.
Wu Xuepeng still doesn't know what breed of white rabbit Yue Ziyun is, there is a white rabbit who likes to eat fast food noodles, which refreshes his cognition, but this is a good thing for him, because he can't afford rabbit food, if he can't pick up wilted carrots, his rabbit can eat fast food noodles with him.
Wu Xuepeng saw that the white rabbit had eaten it, and was about to take the bowl to clean it, but as soon as his hand was placed on the bowl, the white rabbit held it down.
Wu Xuepeng looked at the white rabbit inexplicably, and then put the bowl down again.
Yue Ziyun saw him put down the delicious food, and was very satisfied, it seemed that he understood what he meant, Yue Ziyun was shocked by Wu Xuepeng, pointed his head at the mouth of the bowl, and then stretched out his tongue and drank the noodle soup.
Seeing her like this, Wu Xuepeng sat down again and quietly accompanied her.
It wasn't until Yue Ziyun licked the bowl as clean as if it had been washed that she stopped her mouth.
"Tsk..." Yue Ziyun let out a satisfied sound, and then lay down on all fours, she very consciously used the old clothes on the bed as her nest.
Wu Xuepeng touched her little belly with his fingers, and then went to wash the dishes.
After a simple wash, he blew out the only light in the house, and then lay down, he looked at the roof with his eyes open, thinking about his future, this was the first time he had the idea of struggle, but he couldn't let him dissipate like this, he had to deepen his impression and encourage himself to fight for it.
In the end, Wu Xuepeng closed his eyes, since he thought of it, then he worked hard to realize what he wanted.
After a dreamless night, Wu Xuepeng got up at dawn, he quickly cleaned himself up and ate the last half of the white steamed bun.
"Little cutie, I'm going out, you have to be obedient at home. Wu Xuepeng rubbed the white rabbit's head and said.
He had no way to take White Rabbit to school, so he had to leave her at home, and the worst thing was that there was nothing to eat at home, and the only food he prepared for White Rabbit was a bowl of water.
