After thinking about Huang Xin for half an afternoon, he finally decided to invite Fang Junwen to eat curry crab, although it was a little expensive. She picked up her mobile phone and clicked on WeChat, and sent a message to Fang Junwen: "Hello, I'm Huang Xin, that poster passed, I really thank you for helping me yesterday." As a token of appreciation, can I treat you to a meal? After a while, Fang Junwen replied: "You can be polite to me for just a small matter." I don't think I saw you come to the tea restaurant for dinner at noon today? Seeing the reply, Huang Xin's mood was half good and bad, the worst was that Fang Junwen resigned from the dinner, and the good thing was that he cared so much about her not going to the restaurant to eat.

Huang Xin hesitated for a moment, and sent another one: "I was dragged by a colleague to eat somewhere else at noon, so I didn't go to the restaurant." You're polite to me, please have a meal and don't cost a lot of money, you just promise me, I have chosen the place, you can decide the time, okay? Huang Xin waited for a few minutes, and finally waited for Fang Junwen's reply: "Okay, I have something to do during the day tomorrow and am free at night." You can send me the location and time, thank you. See you tomorrow night. "He promised, he promised! Huang Xin's hand holding the mobile phone trembled a little excitedly, if she wasn't in the company at this time, she would definitely jump with joy. Huang Xin replied to the message with the excitement in his heart: "Thank you, Brother Wen, okay, see you tomorrow night." ”

The sky was cloudless and the weather was very hot and humid on Sunday morning. After breakfast, Fang Junwen rode a shared automatic car to the gate of the compound of the Animal Association base, he parked the car and locked it, took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, and then walked into the compound with a backpack. This Sunday, it was his and Lin Le's turn to be on duty, and their main task today was to feed the animals in the association compound that had not been adopted, clean the cages, and deal with any sick animals immediately. "Morning, Brother Wen, are you here, have you had breakfast?" There were several empty cat cages piled up in the open space of the yard, Lin Le was wearing rubber gloves, water boots, and a water hose while washing a cage to greet Fang Junwen. "Morning, Lin Le, are you here so early today? I've had breakfast at home, what about you? ”

Fang Junwen replied as he took off his backpack and hung it on the hook on the wall, and then put on rubber gloves and water boots and began to wash the cage. Lin Le: "I've also eaten at home." That's right, Brother Wen, Huang Guowei, who was on duty yesterday, said that the poodle "Huang Fei" in the A14 cage had a little diarrhea and had been fed medicine, and he asked us to pay attention to whether its situation had improved today. Fang Junwen responded: "Well, I'll take a look in the backyard later, it may be that the weather is too hot during this time, which is caused by gastrointestinal discomfort." Lin Lexin said sympathetically: "Well, I think so, Aki at home has no appetite these days, and even his favorite canned dog tag is only eaten in a few bites, and he doesn't go away all day long." Alas, this weather does not know how long it will last. ”

Fang Junwen continued: "Now there are a lot of dogs and cats in the base, and with the little membership fee we are paying now, it can only barely enough for them to have accommodation and food, and it is impossible to have air conditioning, at most they can turn on a fan, I hope they don't get sick." Lin Le responded with anticipation: "That's it, I really hope that there will be more adopters on the adoption day next Sunday, so that at least the living conditions of the cats and dogs that have been taken away are better than here, so that they will not be so easy to get sick, and the remaining cats and dogs that have not been taken out can also eat more." Fang Junwen and Lin Le chatted about the little lives that worried them while working.

"Mom, I'm back!" Huang Xin pushed open the door and walked in. "Oh, you're back, I'm in the kitchen. Have you ever had breakfast? I made osmanthus cake last night and put it in the fridge, and if I was hungry, I took it out and ate it. Huang Xin's mother, Hu Fanglan's voice, came from the kitchen. Huang Xin hung up the small cloth bag, and said while changing his slippers: "Mom, I'm not hungry, leave it for Dad to come back and eat." Huang Xin walked into the kitchen and saw a lot of vegetables on the counter, as well as fish, chicken and shrimp. Mom, do you buy so much? Are you coming here at noon today? Huang Xin asked. Xin's mother, who was picking vegetables, looked up and responded, "There are no guests." It's not much, you only come back for a meal a week, you eat non-nutritious fast food every day outside, and now you must eat a little better to supplement it when you come home. Huang Xin took out an apron from behind the door, took out a few plates from the sterilized cupboard and put them on the kitchen counter, put on gloves and picked up the slaughtered fish while cleaning it under the water faucet and asked, "Mom, what do you want to do with this fish?" Is it steamed or braised or braised ? Xin's mother smiled and said, "You can eat how you like, Mom doesn't care." "Then braised it, Dad likes to eat strong dishes."

Huang Xin put the washed fish on a basin, put the frying pan on the stove, and pressed the ignition switch of the gas stove. The blue flames enveloped the entire bottom of the frying pan. Huang Xin waited for the pot to heat up for a while and then poured some oil into the pot, and soon, the oil in the pot began to smoke in a small amount, Huang Xin threw the ginger, green onion and pepper that Xin Ma had prepared into the pot, stir-fried it a little, and then carefully slid the fish from the edge of the pot into the pot, and the pan made a squeaky food frying sound. "Mom, I heard from my dad last week that the oranges in the orchard are about to ripen, are they ripe now? Is there a fruit seller who comes to order the fruit? Huang Xin asked as he fried the fish. A few have matured. Your father contacted the fruit sellers who ordered oranges in our orchard in the past year, and most of them said that domestic oranges are not as good as imported oranges, and not many people want them, and the profits of imported oranges are high, so they don't want to sell them this year. Alas! Xin's mother couldn't help but frown when she talked about this, worried.

Huang Xin poured some white wine into the pot, and then sprinkled a little salt and sugar, and the smell of fish in the kitchen became stronger. "Mom, don't worry about it, our oranges are planted so well, there is no medicine or injection, and they are much sweeter and fresher than the imported oranges sold outside, someone must want it, I will go back and ask my friends and classmates to see if they have any channels to help sell the fruits." Huang Xin comforted Xin's mother and poured some water into the pot, and then covered the pot.

The scorching sun steamed and roasted the leaves of the sycamore tree a little, and the intellectuals on the tree were screaming desperately, louder than louder. Fang Junwen and Lin Le, who had been busy all morning, were really a little tired, and sat on the chairs under the plane tree in the front yard and blew the fan to rest for a while. "Knock knock, knock knock" There was a sudden knock on the door at the gate of the compound, and a man's voice shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Is anyone there?" If you deliver takeaways, please come out and pick it up! "It's coming, it's coming!" Lin Le, who was half-lying in a chair, replied as he got up. He ran to open the door and pick up the takeout. After a while, Lin Le walked back with two bags of takeaways, and said as he walked, "Brother Wen, our body food is here." Fang Junwen opened one of the takeaway bags and took out the lunch box and opened it. Lin Le handed Fang Junwen a pair of chopsticks, and the two of them had lunch.

The mobile phone on the desktop came with the message prompt sound of "Didi", Fang Junwen put down his chopsticks, picked up the mobile phone and clicked on it, it turned out to be Huang Xinwei himself: "Brother Wen, can you have dinner at the newly opened big forest restaurant in the backstreet of our tea restaurant where we usually have lunch at half past six tonight?" I've tasted the crab curry there and it tastes good. Fang Junwen replied: "Okay, then shall we meet at the door of the restaurant then?" "Didi" Huang Xin immediately replied: "Okay, then see you at the door of the restaurant at half past six tonight." The corners of Fang Junwen's mouth rose slightly without him noticing. He also immediately replied: "Okay, see you at the door of the restaurant at 6 o'clock tonight." At this time, Fang Junwen felt an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.

Lin Le saw Fang Junwen's gentle and joyful look when he replied to WeChat, and asked tentatively, "Brother Wen, are you procrastinating?" When did you know each other, why didn't you mention it? Fang Junwen was stunned for a moment, the word girlfriend really scared him a little, he never thought that the person he had known for a few days could make him tempted. He immediately explained: "There is no procrastination, just an ordinary friend." Lin Le, you think too much. Fang Junwen picked up the chopsticks and began to eat again. Lin Le was skeptical, but since Fang Junwen didn't admit that he didn't ask any more questions, Lin Le changed his tone after eating a few bites of food and talked about other things: "Brother Wen, I heard that Fei Liang said that there are dozens of people who have made an appointment to participate in the adoption day from the official account, and there are so many people in such a big Yongfu Plaza, there must be some mobile participants on the scene, and there are a lot of things to do that day: register, distribute leaflets, go through procedures, etc., Judging from the number of volunteers we have now, there may be a shortage of manpower to do these tasks well. ”

Fang Junwen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and replied, "I'll go back and ask my friends, and try to find as many as I can to help." You can ask when you go back, and try to find a few of them. Lin Le shrugged and complained, "Well, okay, I'll go back and ask too." But I really don't have much confidence to impress them, some of them are hairy and sensitive, some are afraid of being dirty and tired, and would rather stay at home all day to play games or sleep in, I tried to mobilize some of them to come and volunteer together before I came here to volunteer, but in the end it didn't work. In this way, Fang Junwen and Lin Le were eating while discussing the adoption day. After dinner, they took a nap and went back to work in the backyard.
