Chapter 5 Just the Ordinary
"Alas! What the hell is this? ”
Li Yan was wearing a hurdle vest and five-point straight-leg pants, sitting on the sofa watching football.
He looked up at the clock, pulled out a bottle of beer from the box next to him, the bottle turned over in the palm of his hand, and the green beer bottle was immediately covered with dewdrops, and there was a faint ice cube, and a white cool air rose from the bottle.
The mobile phone screen on the table lit up and buzzed, and the caller ID was "check the knife".
Li Yan grabbed his mobile phone, opened his mouth to bite the cap of the beer bottle, swallowed two sips of cold beer, and said vaguely: "Hey?"
"Will you move back in tonight? If I move back, do I need to ask someone to pack my luggage? ”
Li Yan blew again, staring at the TV, with the national flag sticker on his face, and the fans who blew the whistle, said casually: "Don't, don't move." ”
"Huh? Oh, that's fine. Then I don't care. ”
Li Yan hung up the phone and put the phone on the table. It just so happened that the TV erupted into strong boos, and the game ended, and the score stayed at 3-0.
"Grass! Bare butt grinding, shameful to spin in circles. ”
Li Yan scolded, took the remote control to turn off the TV, and only then did there be a sound of soft footsteps on the stairs.
Li Yan turned his head: "Are you back?" ”
Danniang pulled up her long scattered hair, tied a long ponytail with a holster, smiled at Li Yan Mingmei, and turned around and went into the kitchen: "What do you want to eat tonight?" ”
"It's okay, you can watch it."
Danniang poked her head out of the kitchen: "Why don't I go to the supermarket and buy a sea bass and stew beef for you?" ”
Li Yanle said: "Don't you don't eat meat?" ”
"I don't like meat, and I don't eat much onion and garlic. Besides, you just have to eat it. ”
"Okay."
Li Yan replied as he pressed the remote control, and the TV channel circled more than once in the flashing red signal light, and the faces on the screen kept changing.
It didn't take long for a sumptuous meal to be served, in addition to a steamed sea bass, a bowl of beef stew, steamed rice and radish broth, and a plate of stir-fried pumpkin tips.
Li Yan ate a few large bowls of rice with a table full of meat and vegetables, and asked on the side: "By the way, Oran, I asked for leave for you." It is said that your grandmother in your hometown is suddenly ill, and if you go again, don't say it. ”
Danniang sat opposite Li Yan, holding the rice bowl and nodded: "I remember." ”
The two chatted while eating, for more than half an hour, Li Yan talked a lot, Danniang talked little, and there were two times in the middle, Danniang got up and gave Li Yan a soup.
A sea bass, most of the pot of beef almost went into Li Yan's stomach, Danniang as always, did not eat much. The two of them picked up the scraps on the table. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon.
"yes, that's right."
When the two were washing dishes together, Danniang seemed to think of something, and asked Li Yan on the side: "Did you bring your luggage back?" ”
"Huh? Oh, not yet. ”
Li Yan shook off the remaining water on the plate and put it in the cupboard, making a snapping sound.
The TV in the living room is on a variety show named after a yogurt. Laughter rang out from time to time.
"The restaurant with the knife has just opened, and there is a shortage of manpower. He is in charge of the back kitchen, and the manager at the front desk has asked me for help this time, and I can't wipe my face. ”
Danniang put down the lid of the pot in her hand, raised her head and blinked, and said after a while: "Then, there must be a day, right?" ”
"Just this month. It didn't take long. ”
"That's, that's good."
After the dishes and chopsticks were all cleaned up, Li Yan looked at the clock: "It's almost this point, then I'll go first." ”
"Okay."
Danniang replied softly.
Li Yan stood up, and when he was about to reach the door, Danniang said again: "It's hot, you didn't bring Xia Liang quilt when you left, right?" ”
Li Yan laughed: "I can't use that." ”
With that, he pushed the door open and went out.
The doorknob turned, Danniang leaned against the kitchen door, stretched, lowered her head and sighed, walked to the casserole of stewed meat soup, served herself a bowl, took a sip of broth, and glanced at the door again before drinking the rest of the soup.

"Drink?"
Cha Xiaodao smiled and shook two bottles of Wuliangye.
"Okay, have a drink."
Li Yan agreed happily, maybe he lost the game, he was not very interested, and drank several cups with Cha Xiaodao before he remembered: "By the way, after a while, I have a few brothers who come to me to drink, you come together, and I will introduce you?" ”
Cha Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and said, "This, it's not suitable." ”
"You don't think so much." Li Yan interrupted him: "Just sit down and drink together." If you really don't want it, just because I didn't say it. ”
Li Yan didn't mean anything else, he had known Cha Xiaodao for a long time, and found that Cha Xiaodao was in Jinhai and had almost no relatives. Usually with restaurant employees, as well as dealing with themselves, it seems sophisticated, a little stingy ruffian, but when alone, it looks very gloomy. Especially this time, when the Dragon and Tiger Daming came out of Zhejiang Chen Ke's matter, although Li Yan didn't ask, he knew in his heart that Zha Xiaodao should have some knots.
"Hey! What's there. Come to me, and I'll take care of the banquet. ”
Speaking of which, Cha Xiaodao also accepted it on the spot.
"That's okay, I've got a few brothers."
Cha Xiaodao's restaurant is more capricious, usually happy to open, and does not close at twelve o'clock, this is the time to eat, he closes the door to thank customers. When the usual guests saw the closure at the door, they looked elsewhere. The craftsmanship of the red and white cases of the small knife can be checked from the serious restaurant, and there are adventures in the infinite Yan Fu, which has attracted a lot of picky gourmets, once he closes the door in advance, he is often stunned, and he has to come in to take a look, and he is unwilling to ask a few words before he is willing to leave.
Everyone else in the restaurant left after work, and only Li Cha was left, and at this time, several waves of diners pushed the door in and asked, "Can you do it?" ”
As he spoke, another man entered the door. The man was dressed as an electrician, with a white towel around his neck, and a roe deer's eyes.
"I'm sorry to close the door."
Cha Xiaodao wiped his hands, stood up and said with a smile, and when he saw the face of the person who came, his face sank, and he looked left and right to see that there was no one else, and then he lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing here?" I haven't paid my bill? ”
The man waved his hand again and again: "Knife, take people's money, give people to eliminate disasters, I will give you a packing ticket." That thing, clean and clean, no hand tail. I know the rules of our industry, if you don't meet if you have nothing to do, something will happen when you meet, and I'm not happy to look for you if you're okay, I'm not broken! ”
"Sensei hit me with cymbals, what's the matter?"
The electrician smiled all over his face, "I'm not looking for you......" he said, glancing behind Cha Knife.
Li Yan sat with his back to him, and without looking back, he poured all the remaining Wuliangye into his wine glass, picked up the cup and drank it all.
