Chapter 13: Suffering

The sunset at the end of June, through the golden clouds, falls into the depths of the alley.

At that time, the world was red, and it was like sitting on a stool and wearing barbecue, and although the taste of raw meat was fishy, the smell of grilled meat always made you forgive those who didn't like it very much.

The barbecue sprinkled with chili noodles looks even redder in the sunset.

"Want to eat?"

Boss Zhao patted He Yan's shoulder. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of black shorts, and a pair of sandals, which is his most classic outfit.

The white short-sleeved shirt had a brown puppy on it, squinting and sticking out its tongue, but the big beer belly made the puppy a little deformed.

He seemed to turn around and smiled awkwardly at Boss Zhao, then lowered his head and continued to skewer the barbecue in front of her.

Today, she just finished the monthly exam, and she didn't have to study at night, so she ran over early to help. From time to time, the evening breeze lifted her bangs and a few strands of hair that fell to her ears, because she was a little close to the barbecue stove, and two strands of sweat hung on either side of her cheeks.

However, the evening breeze is really cool and comfortable.

"Give." Boss Zhao bypassed He Xiang, went to the grill and took two skewers of barbecue, handed them to He Xiang, and found a bench around to sit next to He Xiang.

He seemed to be a little overwhelmed, looking at the two skewers of barbecue in front of him, he felt that his saliva was about to flow out, but he was still hesitating whether to take it.

"This girl," Boss Zhao waited for a while and urged: "Take it, and I won't charge you money." ”

"Thank you."

The taste of meat is still eaten once during the winter vacation when she was working at Uncle Zhuang Wenche's place, and then she rarely eats it, although she works in a barbecue restaurant, but what she can pack and take away after work are some defective products that have failed.

"I'm leaving."

"Huh?" The meat that was about to enter his mouth stopped in the next second, and he hung in the air alone against a bamboo stick, "What do you mean?" ”

"My old mother and father have always been in poor health, and I am the only one in the family, and I have to go back to take care of them." Boss Zhao seemed a little helpless, lowered his head, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he also began to slowly skewer the barbecue on the table.

"What about Aunt Yuan?"

The woman surnamed "Yuan" will bring a lot of food to Boss Zhao every time she comes, she always keeps her hair low and smiles all the time, rarely when she is in a bad mood, but she doesn't look very happy.

He doesn't seem to know what her name is, Boss Zhao keeps calling her "Xiao Yuan".

That person is Boss Zhao's girlfriend, and it seems that they have been together for four years, which is what she heard the clerk in the store say.

"Gone."

"Huh?"

"She doesn't want to go back to her hometown with me."

"Then you can take your parents over."

Boss Zhao didn't answer in a hurry, but just smiled bitterly a few times and laughed at himself: "Who told me to be unproductive." ”

He looked up at the little girl in front of him, especially stared at his eyes for a long time, then turned his head to look around, and then looked at the meat he was wearing in his hand, and sighed word by word: "Some teenagers will always be teenagers, no matter what they go through, a teenager's heart will not change no matter what." ”

Boss Zhao didn't say any more, He didn't seem to ask again, the two of them, one big and one small, sat side by side, until the moon came up, He seemed to carry his schoolbag and walked in the direction of the rental house.

She took her salary, it was the last time she worked here, she was a little reluctant, and sat for a while, but there was always a time when the guests left.

Her salary is two hundred yuan more than usual, and the two hundred yuan looks a little heavy in her hand.
