Chapter 1: A Rib

Next Chapter

In March, it was warm and cold, and even the air was filled with a convulsive coldness.

At such times, the hot soup with its spicy aroma is the most stimulating to the appetite.

A pair of big thin hands accurately formed an encirclement, as if Tai Chi drew a circle, stretching casually.

The hands struck left and right, and they lifted a T-shaped object in the air. The big dripping eyes ignored the spicy irritation, just stared greedily at the brightly colored soup.

A small fork suddenly appeared in the free right hand, and the next second, the elastic noodles entered the mouth.

Without waiting for the noodles to chew, a mouthful of hot soup will follow.

The hot current washes away the condensation in the esophagus, warming the whole body at once.

A refreshing exclamation burst out of his mouth, with the vitality of a young man.

The young man was not tall, lean, and even his cheeks were shriveled.

Because of this, a pair of bull's eyes are particularly eye-catching. No matter from any angle, it is impossible to ignore the essence in it.

The noodle soup is spicy and forms a red sheen on the lips of young people. But he no longer cares about his image, and he only has the desire to fill his stomach quickly.

Before the second bite of noodle soup could be eaten, the door was slammed open.

Immediately after that, a middle-aged man wrapped in a dark blue uniform coat rushed in, and then he couldn't wait to keep the howling cold wind out.

"Yo, Xiao Yang, what about instant noodles again? It's not good to eat, can the body stand it? The middle-aged man walked over, sat down beside the young man, and threw a large iron box on the table.

The sound of clanging was non-stop, and it was obvious that the weight of the iron box was not light.

For the care of middle-aged people, young people don't care. The thin lips crooked, and he pretended to smile boldly: "It's okay, who in the entire Fifth Ring doesn't know that I, Yang Hao, is in good health?" After the winter, the sea bathed, and the West City Gate ran naked. That's not a problem at all. ”

The middle-aged man was obviously accustomed to his braggadocio and didn't have any special feelings.

He opened the iron box to reveal its inner face.

The stuffy and cooked rice, each grain is crystal clear, exuding a jade-like light. Just by smelling the aroma in the air, you know that it is mixed with lard.

Next to the rice are neat pieces of pork ribs, and the sweet and sour sauce hangs on them, which makes it look mouth-watering.

Paired with a small cluster of verdant greens, the combination of red and green is elegant and rich, enough to provide all the nutrients for the job.

Yang Hao swallowed instant noodles slowly, and then noticed that the middle-aged man was looking over, so he hurriedly turned his head and pretended not to care.

didn't know that the middle-aged man had already seen his appearance, sighed, picked up the ribs and put them on the lid of the tin box, and then pushed them to his side. "I know you want to get a beautiful tombstone for Dean Song, but you can't spoil yourself. Dean Song has worked hard to bring up you children, and he definitely doesn't want to see you suffer. ”

Yang Hao panicked, dancing as if he had been electrocuted, and was about to push the ribs back. "No, Lao Zhang, I really don't need to. This is prepared for you by my sister-in-law, and besides, your body is much weaker than mine. I just ate almost at noon, and at night I had enough fish, meat, and beer. ”

Lao Zhang pressed his arm down and put the ribs in front of his eyes without saying a word. "Don't, you can hide it from me? Don't say it, it's not easy to know that you're alone. A good boy is responsible, and he admires him the most. It's a pity that the guy is also a poor bastard and can't help you. But a few ribs, you can't be stingy. ”

Yang Hao was still polite, but Lao Zhang urged: "Hurry up and eat, maybe something will happen later?" It's almost the New Year, and there's the most on the top, so it's tormenting us. ”

Staring at the tempting color of the ribs, Yang Hao's throat swelled, and finally he didn't say anything more about prevarication. Carefully pick up the ribs and place them next to your teeth to lick them slowly.

His name is Yang Hao, and the reason why he is called this name is that according to Dean Song, who picked him up, the note placed on him was written like this.

That's right, he was an orphan, and he still doesn't know who his parents are.

Dean Song, as the name suggests, is the director of the orphanage.

The charity of celebrities is in full swing and lively, anyway, Yang Hao doesn't know where the hundreds of millions or billions of donations go.

Their orphanage grew up in obscurity, and they never saw much assistance. It was all Dean Song who took a few aunts to do handicrafts and housework, and in exchange for the money to raise a group of children without parents.

When Yang Hao grew up, it was Dean Song who trusted him and found a way to let him go to school.

From elementary school to junior high school, from junior high school to high school, Yang Hao's grades have never been lower than the top 50 in the school, and he is an absolute top student.

It was just a change of events that changed his fate. Or rather, it is inevitable.

In the same school as him, his sister, who also grew up in an orphanage, was ridiculed and abused by her classmates because of her shabby dress, saying that her name was Hanako and that she would sleep under the bridge in the future.

There are also excessive male students, who actually took advantage of her absence to throw all the school supplies that Dean Song bought for her into the men's toilet.

My sister cried and was heartbroken, which had a shadow on going to school.

The orphanage is small, but it is a different place from the outside world. Here, it was the children who rallied around Dean Song and survived.

Seeing his sister being bullied, the angry Yang Hao fought, and the six male students who beat him alone knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the blood flowed.

Since then, no one dares to bully his sister anymore, but Yang Hao has also lost the opportunity to continue going to school.

Dean Song, who learned what had happened, sighed lightly, but didn't blame him for anything. Instead, he begged for favors and arranged him to work now.

City G Bureau, the neighbors heard the Hades Palace.

And he is one of the glorious temporary workers.

The so-called temporary workers do not have a formal career establishment and do not enjoy the benefits of regular staff.

But when something happens, he always has to charge ahead, endure scolding with a knife, and be more ruzi than a cow.

But for Yang Hao, who has nothing to do with and no education, this is already the best result.

Yang Hao has worked for a few years, and no matter how diligent and thrifty he is, there are not a few cents left in his pocket.

At this time, sad things happened.

Dean Song, who had been ill from hard work, finally gave up and died. Let the children cry heartbreakingly, and don't open their eyes to take a look.

Growing up without a father or mother, children understand a truth.

If you want to survive in this world, the only person you can rely on is yourself. So the orphanage was disbanded, and everyone went their separate ways, despite their reluctance to cling to each other.

But there is only one thing that everyone can't let go. That is, to get a beautiful tombstone for Dean Song and bury it in a place full of flowers.

It's a pity that the great capital has every inch of land, and even the dead have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. Where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is a staggering expense.

But Yang Hao vowed to do this, so he had to abuse himself and save money.

He couldn't remember how long he had eaten instant noodles, so much so that drinking soup was like drinking water. But he has no regrets, and he doesn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.

As soon as the fragrant pork ribs enter the mouth, they detach from the bones and fill every corner of the mouth.

Countless cells came alive, greedily inhaling the aroma of the meat, making his whole being alive.

"It smells so good!" Although it was very embarrassing, Yang Hao still sighed in his heart.

The old Zhang next to him divided five by two, and the iron box was wiped out. When he turned around, he found that Yang Hao was still closing his eyes, savoring the ribs that had already been chewed into slag.

are all ordinary low-level people, Lao Zhang understands Yang Hao very well, so he wants to urge twice. As a result, when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back.

Forget it, let the old ladies do more next time.

The chunks of meat had been completely chewed and densely spread on the tongue, having long since lost its original tenderness and juiciness, and were drier than the dry leaves.

But Yang Hao was reluctant to swallow it, because he didn't know when he would be able to eat pork ribs next time.

Perhaps his obscene appearance is too terrifying for God to see. The door was slammed open again, followed by a roaring voice. "Assemble urgently, hurry up, there is a mission."

The sound of hulala's footsteps was far away, and Lao Zhang had already gotten up and chased out. When he came to the door, he turned around and shouted. "Xiao Yang, hurry up, don't let the team wait for a long time. Otherwise, it won't be worth it to give you a good look when the time comes. ”

Yang Hao sighed, spat out his bones, and ran out after Lao Zhang.

The bone jumped and danced on the smooth table, like a beating note, and it was reluctant to stop.

Yang Hao's figure had already disappeared outside the door, disappearing into the tight assembly order.

It's like this every once in a while in the city G bureau, and everyone is used to it.

Today is destined to be uncomfortable, and I will suffer in the cold wind again.

Running to his position, Yang Hao wrapped his coat and hat tightly, and there was no difference between his usual preparations.

Lao Zhang stabbed him, but his eyes were still looking at the front of the team. muttered in his mouth: "No, why did the director come out?" ”

Yang Haohuo looked up, only to find that the captain he usually saw the most was standing respectfully on the side at this time. And a guy with a belly as round as the earth, was pacing around anxiously.

This is the legendary director of the city G Bureau.,It's said to be the nephew of the city's standing committee.,But it's the same guy as the uncle.。

Yang Hao has been in the City G Bureau for more than three years, and so far, it is the second time he has met the director. In addition to the strangeness, I am keenly aware that today's events may be unusual.

Hell, what can the urban management bureau, which deals with small stalls and vendors and illegal buildings on weekdays, have a big deal?

Yang Hao glanced at Lao Zhang and found that the other party was also confused.

However, the two of them tacitly agreed to be honest, and they didn't plan to make a head bird, so as not to see the direction of the wind clearly, and be used by the director to give the sacrificial flag.
