As soon as I turned off my mobile phone, Lu Yuxin came from not far away, and carried a box of small tomatoes that I had just bought in the service area, a box of 15 yuan, which contained more than 20 grains, she walked up to me and took the small tomatoes to me and said: "Eat the small tomatoes in the store, I just washed them." ”

I took a small tomato and put it in my mouth, it was quite sweet, and after swallowing it, I said to Yuxin: "Let's go, try to get home before noon." ”

"Then I'll talk to my mom......"

Back in the car, I continued to drive, Lu Yuxin sat in the co-pilot seat and called my mother, although I couldn't hear what my mother said to Yuxin on the phone, but I was sure that she was very happy.

The two of them chatted for about five minutes before Lu Yuxin hung up the phone, turned her head to look at me with a smile and asked, "Do you know what Mom just said?"

"What?" I didn't guess at all, it was all Lu Yuxin chatting with me to relieve my boredom.

"Mom just said that I would go to the vegetable market to buy two catties of beef brisket and stew it for you at home, and then stew a pot of rice for you, so that you can use the beef brisket soup to soak rice and eat, she also said that every time you stew beef brisket, you can eat an extra bowl of rice, why are you so greedy? ”

"Stewed beef brisket and rice...... It's not that I want to eat more, it's the brisket's fault. ”

Lu Yuxin didn't bother to pay attention to me, she sat in the co-pilot and played with her mobile phone, I drove the car on the highway, and just answered Lao Zhou's call in the service area, the whole person is even worse, is it that I really can't let go? But what can't I let go?

Haven't they all decided to start a new life?

When she was about to get off the highway, Lu Yuxin's phone rang suddenly, she glanced at the screen suspiciously, and then swiped to answer, and shouted in a particularly cordial voice: "Mom......"

“……”

Lu Yuxin: "It's nothing, silently by my side, it's okay." ”

“……”

Lu Yuxin: "Maybe the phone is out of battery, or it accidentally turned off automatically." ”

“……”

Lu Yuxin: "Mom, don't worry, it's okay! We're about to get off the highway, and it's estimated that we will be home in an hour." ”

“……”

Lu Yuxin: "Okay, then I'll hang up first, I'll see you later." ”

I saw Lu Yuxin hang up the phone and asked, "Is it my mother's call?"

"yes. Lu Yuxin asked, "Why did you turn off your phone?"

I lied and said, "There's no power." ”

"Impossible!" Lu Yuxin exposed my lie and said, "I helped you charge your phone last night, and you have only been on it for a few hours this morning, how can it be that there is no power?"

I'm not angry! Because this lie is so untechnical!

Yuxin was very smart, she quickly remembered that I had just answered the phone in the service area, looked at me and asked, "Are you worried about something?"

I know I can't hide it from Yuxin, not to mention that we don't need to hide anything between us, if there is a misunderstanding because of concealment, it will be more than worth the loss, my eyes are looking at the highway ahead, my heart echoes on the phone just now, I am very honest to Yuxin said: "Just now Lao Zhou called me, he said that Jing Yao went to the bar to find me yesterday, and found that I was not there, and then she asked Lao Zhou to transfer me something, but Lao Zhou refused, he said that I will definitely go to the airport to send Jing Yao, let Jing Yao give it to me in person." ”

"And then?" Yuxin asked, "Because of this, you hung up the phone?"

"Lao Zhou persuaded me to send Jing Yao, but I really didn't want to go, and I didn't know what I was running away from, maybe ...... There's still a little nostalgia in your heart, right?"

Lu Yuxin pursed her lips and said to me: "I don't know how to persuade you, in fact, I really don't object to you sending Jing Yao, at least I can understand you." ”

"Forget it!" I said to Yu Xin: "Let's go home first, we can't change anything if we see each other more, and we will only increase our sadness." Jing Yao once owed me a goodbye, and this time let me owe her a too. ”

Lu Yuxin, who was sitting beside her, muttered in a low voice: "The debt owed will have to be repaid sooner or later!"

I pretended not to hear, just at this time also arrived at the highway intersection, ready to get off the highway, because of the consideration of changing lanes, so the driving is also a little more serious than before, off the highway through the ETC toll station, prompting the balance on the card is insufficient, and from the ETC channel to push out, into the manual channel, after such a toss, this matter is not mentioned. When I got home, my mother had already prepared lunch, full of a big pot of brisket, I remember that when I was in elementary school and junior high school, it was a very grand thing to eat stewed beef brisket at home, and there must be something good to make such a meal, which is particularly ritualistic.

Every time we eat stewed beef brisket, the family must also be complete, and none of our family of four can be missing. At that time, the family's income was indeed not much, my father received a subsistence allowance, and my mother made some money by selling potatoes and roasting red potatoes, and our family's income was really not much! Although we don't have to worry about eating and drinking now, we are still moved to tears when we see a big pot of stewed beef brisket, which is really not an exaggeration at all. This is a feeling that can only be imagined after experiencing it.

The first floor of our house is a snack bar, and there are quite a lot of customers at noon, although there are only four or five tables, but there are one or two guests eating on each table, and my mother is cooking noodles and rice noodles. Yu Xin and I walked into the back kitchen, and the moment I opened the lid first, Yu Xin sniffed hard and said in surprise: "It's so fragrant! ”

I was very proud and said to Yuxin: "Mom's stewed beef brisket is definitely a must." ”

"Lady!" asked the guest who was waiting outside for my mother to cook noodles, "Is there anything delicious in the kitchen?"

My mom was very happy and said to the guest, "My son and daughter have come back and stewed a pot of their favorite brisket." ”

"Help, help!" the guest was also quite humorous, "I have never smelled such a fragrant brisket, can you sell a bowl?"

"Bring me a bowl too, it would be great to add it to the noodles. ”

A regular customer shouted: "Aunt Mo, I want it too, how much is the proprietress for a bowl?

A girl at the same table said to the boy in front of her: "Don't be greedy, people may not have much stew, what should you do if you ask the boss lady Aunt Mo?" ”

I whispered to Yu Xin beside me, "Do you think Mom will sell the brisket to these customers?"

Lu Yuxin thought for a while and said to me: "You can eat less, Mom's personality is so good, and it can be seen that they are all regular customers, everyone has spoken, Mom will definitely sell it to them, at least let the family taste it." ”

"No!" I said to Lu Yuxin: "This brisket, my mother won't sell it." ”

"Why?" Lu Yuxin asked curiously, "Is this pot going to be left for the two of us to eat?"
