Four

Lao Ma told Zhu Yushen that it would take a long time to get to Hangzhou in the car. He instructed each of them to bring something to eat and drink, and he said that this is called the road of the poor and rich.

In fact, Zhu Yushen is an independent and withdrawn person, and he is a little reluctant to Lao Ma's proposal. But in the afternoon, he rode to the biggest supermarket on the street, and after a round trip, he only bought four cans of beer, a bag of peanuts, and a few ham sausages. He thought, anyway, he didn't want to take advantage of others, so he might as well give this thing to the three of them to eat. Those vacuum-packed chicken thighs, wings, and the like were so expensive that he couldn't afford them. He knew in his heart that in order to raise money for the wedding, Xiao Rong had worked hard during this time, and he hadn't spent much money, so how could he waste money?

When Zhu Yushen checked out at the door, he found that his cousin Lao Xing had also bought some things at the checkout. Then there was a pleasantry, then they each paid and walked out of the supermarket.

Lao Xing asked Zhu Yushen: "Buying so much beer, are you having a treat for dinner today?" You don't usually like to deal with other people, has it changed now? Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I moved to the street too. Our Xiaojun spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a house at the grain station, and the upstairs and downstairs of the house are really not small, and they are doing well. Now our family has moved in. You're still teaching in middle school, aren't you? You're going to live in school, right? When you're fine, you can call me to drink. In this society, it is not possible to have more contact with people. ”

Zhu Yushen felt that his words had the flavor of strong words. He just laughed and explained, "The school organized a few of our teachers to go to Hangzhou for two days, and I bought something to eat on the way." Uncle Cousin, you have moved here, and I will definitely invite you to my house for dinner after a while. ”

Lao Xing said: "Good, good. By the way, what did you just say, saying that you are going to Hangzhou to play, this is too coincidental, I just have something to ask you for a favor. Our girl, Emperor E, lost her ID card last time, and when she went home for the New Year, she went to the police station to take a photo and redo it. It was done yesterday and I got it back. But this girl went to work in Hangzhou on the fifth day of the new year, and she didn't have time to come back to pick it up; It's not practical for us to send it over, and it's not very convenient to send it by mail. When you go to Hangzhou, just help me bring it to her. You just wait for me here, and I'll go back and get it to you right away. ”

He didn't wait for Zhu Yushen to respond, stepped on the battery car and ran back. Zhu Yushen had no choice but to stand there without moving. He saw that there were fruit sellers in front of the supermarket, so he bought some. Ready to bring a little and put a little at home.

Lao Xing didn't take long to kill back. He handed his daughter's ID card to Zhu Yushen, and also reported her mobile phone number to Zhu Yushen.

After he left, Zhu Yushen stared at the ID card for a while. The information on it showed that Xing E was four years younger than him, but now she was also a big girl. In his impression, Emperor E is still the yellow-haired girl with two pigtails. According to Lao Xing, that photo was taken by her at the end of last year. In addition to being beautiful and trendy, that face also reveals some domineering. Her name is also very special, this is Li Yu's name after the Great Zhou.

Zhu Yushen remembered that as far as he knew, Lao Xing liked to listen to the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After listening to it a lot, over time, he became very interested in Emperor Zhou E, a beautiful queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty who could sing and dance. After giving birth to a daughter, he defied public opinion and named him Empress E, in order to express his sorrow for the ancient beauty.

Emperor Xing E really didn't disappoint him, and his appearance went all the way. In addition, she can also sing and dance when she is studying, and she is present every time the school engages in literary and artistic activities. It once won a lot of applause and applause.

The last time he chatted with his aunt, Zhu Yushen seemed to remember that his aunt had mentioned to him that Emperor E should not have married a wife yet. said that she went to work in a large company in a big city a few years ago, and earned quite a lot of money in a year. Lao Xing's family is also developed because of her daughter. Lao Xing asked him to help with this, and Zhu Yushen naturally couldn't refuse. He stared at the photo of Xing Ehuang for a while, thinking that he would take this opportunity to go to Hangzhou to find her, and he could also have a glimpse of this person who was good outside.

Zhu Yushen and his group of four took two cars, and it was almost eleven o'clock when they arrived at Wuhu Station. The bus they were going to take to Hangzhou was at 12 o'clock at Wuhu Station. The old horse said that he drank some milk in the morning, ate two eggs, and is now hungry. He suggested that everyone have lunch at the station.

Da Liu immediately raised objections. He said that he brought so much food, you can bear with it for the time being, get in the car and drink. Sun Wei said the same. Zhu Yushen also felt hungry, and he said that he also wanted to solve the lunch here, just eat fast food, fried noodles or something.

The old horse said, "Okay, let's go eat and leave them alone." ”

Da Liu said: "You have eaten lunch, if you don't drink alcohol in the car, you must also take out the food you bring." ”

Lao Ma and Zhu Yushen didn't squeak, and they walked side by side towards a snack bar on the west side of the station.

The shop has two fronts and a shed outside, with a total of seven or eight tables. Not many people come to eat at the moment. Zhu Yushen and Lao Ma took a look at the recipe. The old horse said to himself, "What do you eat?" ”

Zhu Yushen said that you may have to drink with them when you get in the car, so let's have two fried noodles first. The old horse didn't say anything, and sat down at a table outside. After the noodles came up, Lao Ma smoked and watched the news on his mobile phone while eating. Zhu Yushen ate quickly, he looked at the time, there were still forty minutes left from the car point, and he didn't urge the old horse.

At this time, a couple with a child sat on the table next to Zhu Yushen. As soon as you look at the outfits, you know that they should belong to the rural people of a poor place. The man was about thirty years old, very thin, sickly and dying, dressed in old rustic clothes, with two dirty bags beside him; The woman, with her head bowed, fiddled with the child in her arms, her dress was brighter, her hair was neatly combed, and she had a hairpin; The child in her arms was also wearing old clothes and a small torn cloth hat.

At this time, because it was already the time for lunch, there were many new people in the restaurant. Two people had already sat at the table of Zhu Yushen and Lao Ma, and began to call the boss to order food.

The owner was a man in his thirties with a kind face. After serving the others, he came to the family of three and asked them what they were eating.

"To cook a seaweed soup, you just need two bowls of rice." The man said.

This sentence was like a bomb, blowing up the crowd inside and outside the hotel into a commotion, and everyone's eyes were on this table. The same is true for the old horse, and Zhu Yushen's eyes have just left and returned.

The restaurant owner probably suspected that he had misheard, so he asked, "Just cook a seaweed soup and two bowls of rice?" ”

The man said, "Yes." The seaweed soup on the wall next to him is 1 yuan a piece, and it is impressively written there. The boss was a sleek man, and he immediately changed his tone and said, "Okay, okay, you sit down for a while, and you'll be fine right away." ”

At this time, the woman finally raised her head. After seeing her true face of Lushan, Zhu Yushen was surprised a lot-isn't she Wang Xiaoqin? I heard my aunt say that a few days ago, she took her husband and children back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, and today she should be going back to her home in the north. Are they going to take the train back here?

Wang Xiaoqin hugged her son, and in this environment, her expression looked more cramped. She wiped back the left side of her hair with her left hand. Her face is delicate, which makes people feel that she is not a good match for the man. Wang Xiaoqin's eyes were always down, and Zhu Yushen guessed that she shouldn't have seen herself. The bowl of nori soup and rice was quickly served. Her man scooped a spoonful of vegetable soup and soaked it in the rice, and he ate it so much. Wang Xiaoqin just fished out some seaweed and put it in a bowl and ate it in small bites.

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers seemed to be fixed there. But their eyes were all on their family of three. The child in Wang Xiaoqin's arms also opened his eyes wide, looking at the people around him. The child's clothes also looked dirty.

Zhu Yushen was trying to recall what her aunt said about Wang Xiaoqin. My aunt once said that the man's family was very poor, and his family was surrounded by walls; The two old ones are still sick. In this way, the couple has no money to spend outside, as long as they can eat and eat.

However, their move to eat cheap food has won the undue attention of onlookers. The woman who came to bring the food sighed at them several times; Also, the two women sitting in the middle room were also talking about them, and the thin one said, "What are they eating, how can they swallow that one vegetable soup?" Another woman who was also very dirty said: "I can't imagine that there are many poor people in the world, and we are not bad." ”

People watched Wang Xiaoqin's family for a long time with the eyes of aliens, including Lao Ma. At this time, Lao Ma finally finished eating this fried noodles. He looked at the time and said that it was not too early, and it was time to rush over. The two politely pushed back, but the result was still paid by Zhu Yushen. After Zhu Yushen paid the money, he had an idea in his heart, he wanted to fry two more dishes for Wang Xiaoqin and his wife, but he was afraid that it would hurt Wang Xiaoqin's self-esteem. He was hesitating, but the old man came and grabbed him and said, "Go quickly, or time will be tight." It's like you want to do something. In this way, Zhu Yushen was dragged out of the hotel by the old horse. So the two of them strode towards the waiting area.

Lao Ma said: "See, this woman just now looks quite good, but she didn't follow the right person." Isn't it embarrassing to eat that thing for lunch, in front of so many people? Don't say it, if it weren't for the lack of time, I really wanted to fry two servings of noodles for the two of them to eat."

Zhu Yushen knew that this was the old horse picking something to say, so he kept a straight face and didn't squeak. He didn't mention that he knew the woman. It's just that he really regrets it now, regretting why he didn't walk over to greet Wang Xiaoqin when he recognized her. Anyway, she is also my aunt's neighbor. In this way, he can logically invite them to eat something, so as to resolve their embarrassment, and even soothe Wang Xiaoqin's heart. But he didn't.

He glanced back and went into the waiting room.
