Gao Jun took me several corners to an alley. There was a noodle stall there, and business was very good, and the dozen or so small tables set up on the side of the road were full. Gao Jun and I stood next to a couple who were about to finish eating, and the two of them were talking while eating, very slowly, and Gao Jun stared straight at the people, and kept seeing the two of them unable to sit still, and got up to leave. Gao Jun and I sat down.

"You taste the noodles here, make sure you haven't eaten them.

Gao Jun said as he greeted the boss who was cooking noodles, looking familiar. The women who cook the noodles are not tall and thin. A lamp was pulled out of the storeroom of a private house on the side of the road, raised high with a bamboo pole, and the light was pointed at the two large cauldrons where the noodles were cooking, and the woman's face was hidden in the dim halo, and her eyebrows and eyes were not very clear. She stood in front of the stove, cooking, scooping, and adding sauces, all by herself, busy all the time. Although she was busy, there were guests urging noodles and vegetables, she was not annoyed and agreed, and then urged the two and a half children on the side to hurry up.

The two and a half children, one of whom was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, was in charge of collecting money for the dishes, and on the side of the noodle cooking pot, there was a table with several pots of mixed cold vegetables and a few stacks of plates, and on one side of the table were two half-meter-high stainless steel buckets with lids. Whatever the guests wanted, the boy took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote it down as he went, and then went to the table to load the plate, and sent it over quickly. The other girl, who looked smaller, seemed to be the boy's sister, was in charge of tidying up, and when the guests had finished eating and leaving, she went up and washed the dishes, and wiped the table clean in case anyone else came, and then put the washed plates on the boy's table, and the bowl of noodles was placed in the hand of the woman who cooked the noodles. When I have free time, I will go to the boy to help.

Gao Jun lit a cigarette and smoked, seeing that the boy was not too busy, he reached out and called him over, told him to ask for two bowls of noodles, then looked at me and said, "His braised tofu is a must, don't you want to taste it?" ”

The boy turned to look at me, and I had to say I wanted one.

"And the chicken feet in sauce are also good, I can eat seven or eight every time I come!" Gao Jun continued, seeing me glaring at him, he said again: "I won't eat what you want!" ”

I watched him silent.

When the boy saw that I didn't speak, he turned to leave, but I stopped him and asked for ten chicken feet with sauce and two bottles of beer.

Gao Jun didn't expect me to ask for wine, so he praised me: "You, okay!" ”

"Can't catch up with you!"

I looked at him, "The betrayer is happy, isn't he?" ”

Gao Jun sneered: "It's okay!" ”

The boy quickly brought a beer and two glasses, placed them on the table and left. I was about to stop him and ask for a wine bottle driver, but when I turned around, I saw that Gao Jun had already bitten it with his teeth. When Gao Jun saw me looking at him, he felt that something was wrong, and wiped the bottle with his hand on the T-shirt on his body.

Gao Jun filled himself with a glass, then poured me half a glass and stopped to look at me. I said, "Pour." ”

"The woman is too ugly when she's drunk, forget it."

"It's not yours!"

"Okay, drink yours, pour it all for you!" Gao Jun filled me up.

Looking at the frothy liquid in the cup, the loneliness and discomfort of the afternoon returned, stuffy and stuffy in my chest. Aside from a few class reunions, I didn't drink much. Today, I saw that there was alcohol on the noodle stall, and I suddenly wanted to take a few sips.

"Let's go!" Gao Jun raised his glass. I picked it up and drank it down. My heart suddenly refreshed, but the discomfort that had been stuck in my heart turned into tears welling up in my eyes, and I turned my head to look away.

"I don't think you're right today."

I embarrassedly wiped my face with my hand, and new tears flowed again. In the dim light, I fell on my knees and pressed my face against the hem of my skirt, letting the tears flow freely.

Gao Jun didn't persuade him, poured himself a drink, I almost cried, wiped my face on my skirt and looked up, the two dishes I ordered were already served on the table, and there was only half a bottle of wine left.

"Try the chicken feet here, it's delicious!"

I picked up the chopsticks and just picked one up, Gao Jun suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "I have an acquaintance in the hospital." ”

I didn't understand what he meant, I looked at him puzzled, Gao Jun saw that I didn't understand, and whispered, "Obstetrics and gynecology." ”

I looked at Gao Jun and suddenly burst out laughing, trembling with laughter. My lovely mechanic brother!

Gao Jun was embarrassed by my laughter, and haha: "Talking about playing, talking about playing...... boss, are the noodles cooked?" Hungry! ”

The lady who cooked the noodles said yes.

I cried, laughed, and was in a much better mood, and couldn't help but say Gao Jun: "What's your brain?" ”

"And why are you?"

“…… Something is going on. ”

"You go to and from work all day long, and you don't come out to break into society, you can meet a! At most, it's Liu Zhao's ** two sentences. ”

“……”

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

"I don't want to say it."

Gao Jun poured the rest of the wine into his cup, tilted his head and dried it, and double-clicked his mouth, which was very pleasant.

The boy brought two bowls of noodles, and sure enough, there was a strange smell. I used my chopsticks to stir the large lump of sauce sprinkled on top, and the aroma spread more clearly.

"What sauce, so fragrant?"

Gao Jun looked at the woman who was cooking noodles in the distance, and said in response, "Do you know who she is?" ”

I shook my head.

"Have you eaten the Lu family's roast chicken?"

I nodded, the Lu family roast chicken is very famous in the local area, and it seems that two years ago, I heard that the boss and his family died in a car accident.

Gao Jun gestured with his chin: "The boss's daughter." ”

I was taken aback and turned my head to look at the woman who was busy by the pot. "Who are those two children?"

"A younger brother, a younger sister."

I was even more surprised, at first I thought it was her child!

I whispered, "Don't her younger siblings go to school?" Help here. ”

"During the day."

"Why is she selling noodles? She went on to open her family's roast chicken shop. ”

"It's been sold early, her father has been lying in the hospital for more than half a year, and he has been defeated, so it's better to die directly!"

"Doesn't the driver who hit them care?"

"Ran away."

Gao Jun and I didn't talk anymore, buried our heads and ate noodles. The noodles are ordinary somen noodles, and the effort is all in the sauce. With chicken feet and braised tofu in sauce, a bowl of noodles will be eaten for a while.

We called the boy over and prepared to check out and leave. Unexpectedly, before the boy walked to our table, he was stopped by a man at the adjacent table: "Where are the chicken feet we want?" Why haven't you come up yet? ”

The boy was stunned for a moment, stopped, took out the small notebook in his pocket and looked at it, and said, "It's for you, right?" ”

"! Up? Where's it? Where is it? The man cursed.

The boy turned back to call the little girl who was bending down to wash the dishes in the bucket, and the little girl heard the noise. The boy asked her, "Didn't I just give you a plate of chicken feet and tell you to bring it over?" Where did you go? ”

The little girl looked around, pointed to another table, and whispered that it was there.

The man stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, and said in a rough voice: "Can't you tell who came early?" What a brain you have! Just to break the chicken paws like this, I waited all night! ”

The man's female companion also echoed and muttered. The woman who was cooking the noodles heard a commotion and ran over to see what was going on with the boy and the boy whispered, "The food was served on the wrong table." ”

The woman turned back to the girl and asked her what was wrong. The girl was just about to open her mouth to distinguish when the woman who cooked the noodles suddenly raised her hand and slapped the little girl hard. "And said! What do you say about the wrong dish? ”

The people around who were eating noodles quieted down all of a sudden, and they were all startled by the sudden slap of the woman who was cooking noodles, and even the man who was arguing just now sat down: "It's not that I have a lot of problems, we came too early, and those who came late ate it, we are watching here, isn't this a bully?" ”

The little girl was carrying a dripping dishcloth in one hand, covering her face with the other, and her thin body shook and shook, looking like she was crying. The boy pulled the girl to stand behind the woman who cooked the noodles, and the woman who cooked the noodles made a lot of money to the man.

"You can die if you eat a little later!"

Gao Jun, who was sitting across from me, suddenly shouted loudly. All of a sudden, all eyes on the noodle stall were focused on us.

The man who had just sat down stood up suddenly, and pointed at Gao Jun with his hand across a dining table: "Who are you talking about?"

I was about to say don't cause trouble, but before I could open my mouth, I saw Gao Jun pick up an empty wine bottle that was placed on the side of the table and rush out. Seeing this, the people at the middle table quickly dodged, and Gao Jun rushed over at once, pointing a wine bottle at the man's nose: "Say you!" ”

When the woman who cooked noodles saw this, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Gao Jun: "Big brother, listen to me, let's not make trouble, ah!" Don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble! ”

I also hurriedly ran over and snatched the wine bottle from Gao Jun's hand, and injured someone, but he was sentenced. Gao Jun saw me snatch his wine bottle, and flicked his arms to carry me to the side.

The man saw Gao Jun holding the wine bottle, fearing that he would suffer a loss, so he kicked the ground all over the ground, and finally lifted the horse that was sitting under his buttocks.

Across the woman who was cooking noodles, the two men confronted each other tensely, and at this time, the man's female companion came up to relieve the siege: "Forget it, let's go, let's not eat, it's not worth it to eat a bowl of noodles!" ”

The man got off the donkey, put down his horse, and followed the female companion without saying a word. Gao Jun glared at him: "Settle the account and leave!" ”

The woman who cooked the noodles hurriedly said, "Don't want it, don't want it, don't eat it!" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, looked at the woman who cooked the noodles and said no, and took out the hand that reached into his pocket again.

"! You won't go out to eat without money, right? Don't eat if you don't have money! Gao Jun didn't seem to want to let go of these two people at all.

In front of everyone's eyes, the man had to put his hand back into his pocket and take out the money, take out a few, point out two ten-yuan ones, throw them on the table and leave.

"There are all kinds of birds these days!" Gao Jun shouted again at the backs of the two people.

On the way back, Gao Jun said to me, "Which group are you?" Why are you robbing my wine bottle? I thought I was in the same league as that kid! ”

"I'm not afraid that you will hurt someone and go to jail!" I couldn't help but praise Gao Jun: "I really can't see that you are still a good person!" ”

Gao Jun snorted from his nose: "That's!" ”
