It was half past seven o'clock, and there were still two and a half hours before Wu's mother got off work in the evening.

Zhang Hao wanted to follow Wu's mother to their residence at night.

"Uncle, it's not far ahead, can you send it?" Zhang Hao said.

The uncle screwed the lid, sat on the electric three-wheeler, patted the co-pilot and said, "Of course I can, I'm an old driver, come up." ”

Zhang Hao sat up, and the two chatted a few words on the way.

"Uncle, what is your surname?" asked Zhang Hao.

Uncle likes Zhang Hao's warm personality very much, straightforward and polite.

The uncle replied: "Free of your surname Jin!"

Zhang Hao was shocked and fell into thought.

I can't go wrong.

Uncle Jin looked back at Zhang Hao and asked, "What's the matter?" young man. ”

Zhang Hao reopened his smile and said, "It's okay, uncle, it's a little cold when you blow." ”

"Hahaha, that's it in winter, remember to wear autumn pants. ”

"Uncle, have you been working as a sanitation worker?" asked Zhang Hao.

"I've been working for ten years, there are more and more people in the county, there are more and more cars, and the work is getting heavier and heavier. Uncle smiled.

There was no change in expression on his face, everything was as usual, everything seemed to be light in his eyes.

Zhang Hao then asked, "Then what are you doing when you are young?"

Uncle Jin looked at the road ahead, pointed and asked, "Where is it?"

Zhang Hao guessed that he was deliberately pulling away from the topic, and he didn't want to recall the glorious and sad days of the past.

For him, having Wu's mother by his side every day and having a bowl of rice to live on is enough.

"There it is!" Since the uncle didn't want to say it, Zhang Hao didn't force it.

evoking a person's memories is often more painful than beautiful, and Zhang Hao has no malice to let Uncle Jin experience pain again.

"Thanks, Uncle Jin, you slow down on the road. Zhang Hao said while standing on the side of the road.

Uncle Jin smiled at him and nodded, dragging half a cart of mineral water bottles and waste paper away.

The cold wind swept by the electric car was still echoing.

Zhang Hao stood and watched for a while.

The feeling in my heart is really uncomfortable, but I am also happy for it, at least he is still alive, at least he is trying to live.

……

Went upstairs.

Peng Li is very sensible and has already started to work on lunch.

As she says, she also burns pork ribs with potatoes, but the kitchen scene is somewhat comedic.

Holding the spatula high in one hand and the lid in the other, trying to cover the pan and let it simmer a little.

There is oil bubbling in the pot, and there is a possibility of splashing at any time.

Peng Li moved her steps cautiously, tilted her head, and her hand was long, and she didn't dare to put it down.

"Hey~" Zhang Hao looked at Peng Li's action comedy and frightened.

"Ah~"

With an exclamation, the lid finally fell on the pan.

Peng Li covered her chest, breathed slowly, and turned her head to hate Zhang Hao.

"I'm here to help you!" Zhang Hao spread his hands.

"You don't have to worry about it, go away, you just take care of eating. ”

Peng Li suddenly said domineeringly, this feeling doesn't seem right, the role is wrong.

It felt very comfortable to be served, Zhang Hao lay on the sofa at Peng Li's request, knocked on Erlang's legs, leisurely, and didn't have to do anything.

There was a ding-dong sound from the kitchen from time to time, and Zhang Hao couldn't help but laugh too loudly.

Several times I wanted to intervene to help, but I held back.

The experience of his predecessors taught him that it was right to let women do some housework, and he couldn't get used to it.

It's been a long wait.

For a long, long time

……

When she was about to fall asleep and close her eyes, Peng Li finally shouted: "It's time to eat." ”

Zhang Hao got up and sat down, giving Peng Li enough opportunity to perform.

Peng Li glanced at Zhang Hao with a smile and put the dishes and chopsticks in front of Zhang Hao.

"Give!" It's very casual.

Zhang Hao enjoyed his old man's time and ate it.

Peng Li hurriedly burned out the pork ribs that tasted good, let's give a score of seven in my heart, barely pass, one more point is encouraged.

Zhang Hao ate several bowls until he was eating, which was an affirmation for Peng Li.

She needs this affirmation, and the more affirmation, the more willing she is to serve men.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks and wiping his mouth, Zhang Hao burped and behaved very satisfied.

Peng Li suddenly asked: "What do you think I am missing as a daughter-in-law for the Zhang family?"

Zhang Hao was stunned and looked at Peng Li sluggishly.

Isn't the girl stupid today?

"You're perfect in my eyes, even if you can't do anything!" Zhang Hao smiled and said,

Peng Li threw herself into Zhang Hao's arms and said, "I believe in you." ”

Zhang Hao hadn't thought about it before, and he was a little sad when he heard Peng Li's words at this time.

If you think about it, what is the purpose of a woman who has lived to be twenty-eight years old?

It's not about grabbing your own heart.

She was afraid of being compared, compared to younger women like Zhao Xiaoqian and Ran Xiaotian.

She tried her best to understand the women around Zhang Hao, all of whom were needed for work.

But in fact, she understood that it was just a comfort in her heart.

So she forced herself to be better, and even tried her best to serve a man who was six years younger than herself.

Maybe in the eyes of others, she is very cheap, but she doesn't think so.

She was willing, she loved this man.

"You've got cramps today. ”

Zhang Hao suddenly burst out and broke the affectionate scene.

"Oops, you're so disappointed. Peng Li entered the kitchen with the bowl.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, I watched TV with Zhang Hao.

The TV continued to play, and both eyes were on their phones.

"Yo, it's eight-forty. ”

Zhang Hao hurriedly got up and put on his shoes and went out.

"Come back early. Peng Li instructed.

She knew what Zhang Hao was going to do, and she didn't want to go with her, mainly because it was too cold outside.

Zhang Hao went downstairs, waited for a few minutes, didn't get a taxi, and trotted all the way over.

Fortunately, Uncle Jin's electric tricycle just stopped at the door.

Wu's mother walked out with a white plastic bag and took the initiative to greet Zhang Hao.

Uncle Jin looked back, a little confused, and had to pick it up.

"Mother Wu, what are you talking about?" asked Zhang Hao.

"Didn't you say you were going to the house in the afternoon? I asked the boss to stir up some side dishes. Wu's mother said.

It was so enthusiastic that Zhang Hao felt very embarrassed.

"How did you meet?" asked Uncle Kim.

"He's a big writer, I just met in the afternoon, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's go away, go back and make trouble. Wu's mother said enthusiastically.

Wu's mother gave up the co-pilot's position to Zhang Hao.

"Mother Wu, you sit, I'll just sit in the back, just look at the night view by the river. Zhang Hao jumped into the carriage.

"Young man, you can sit down, the uncle is a little drifting when driving at night. Uncle Jin said.

Before Zhang Hao could react, the tricycle swooped and rushed out, slowly stabilizing its speed.

Zhang Hao sat in the bucket with his butt, making the two of them laugh.

"It's all right, lad. Uncle Jin asked.

Zhang Hao grabbed the railing next to him and said, "It's okay, Uncle Jin, I have meat on my butt." ”

Hahahaha.

The laughter was torn apart by the cold wind, but the atmosphere was warm.

The electric tricycle drove across Binjiang Boulevard, through the dense downtown area, and stopped in front of a small alley.
