An An originally planned to visit An Ran at the An family's old house, but she called An Ran twice on the way here, but she couldn't get through. She was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she gave up.

Three years ago, An Ran completely fell out with An Huaisheng because of his marriage. After that, she moved back to her old house on Hongxia Road. Two years ago, just as she was basking in the joy of being newly married, her immune system suddenly went viral. After several physical examinations and screenings, it was finally found that the cause of the disease came from a certain virus in the blood, which was the same disease that her mother had at the beginning. At that time, her mother could only be treated by exchange transfusion. Nowadays, science has developed and there are effective drugs that can curb the spread of the virus, but it has never been able to achieve a cure. Drugs to treat this blood disease need to be imported, and the treatment cost is extremely expensive. What's worse is that even with the help of drugs, Enron's physical condition took a sharp turn for the worse half a year ago. In the past six months, her body has been rapidly wilting at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the last month, I have reached the point where I can't get off the ground and move around, lying in bed half asleep and half awake all day, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When she's sober, she likes to video chat with Anxin who is abroad – the only family she can contact at home.

Every now and then, Anxin always feels a burst of sadness inexplicably. Looking at An Ran, who was getting haggard day by day on the screen, An Xin couldn't help but think of the gloomy and heavy atmosphere that permeated her mother's home before she died. Every time she received an invitation to video chat from Enron, Anxin always pressed the green connect button with a smile, but she didn't last long, so she hung up the phone in a hurry under the pretext that she was busy with work. The moment the phone screen went dark, large tears had already slid down his face uncontrollably. She couldn't bear to think about how much time An Ran had left, but this thought hovered in her mind day by day, disturbing her. At such a moment, she had to use the action of shaking her head vigorously to drive away the terrible thoughts that rose in her mind.

An Xin forcibly suppressed the sadness in her heart, and pulled the corners of her mouth like self-encouragement, she wanted to give herself a smile as encouragement, but she didn't have to look in the mirror, she also knew that her smile was full of bitterness, it must be more ugly than crying.

After adjusting his mood with peace of mind, he slowly walked into the store, and was greeted by a long counter that doubled the functions of ordering and cashiering. A little girl who looked to be in her early twenties sat behind the counter, looking loveless, mechanically ordering and making orders according to the customer's requirements, and finally took out the code scanner and pointed it at the customer's mobile phone screen, and completed the collection of money after a "tick" sound, and then she asked "what to eat" without raising her head to welcome the next customer, and then continued to mechanically repeat the action that had been repeated countless times before.

Anxin saw that there were many people standing in front of him, and counted them to find that there were at least five more, so he quietly stood at the end of the line, and looked up at the huge banner menu that was placed above the counter. The soup dumpling restaurant has a much richer menu than before, and in the past, it only made soup dumplings, fried dishes, and small wontons, but now it covers staple foods such as rice bowl and covered noodles.

With just a quick glance, Anxin decided on his own food list.

"What to eat?" The little girl's words sounded without any emotion.

"A basket of crab roe soup dumplings, a guest fried raw food, and a bowl of small wontons." Confidently reported the name of the dish.

As the voice of peace of mind sounded, the little girl's fingers flew, and she tapped on the keyboard of the ordering machine, and after a while, a small ticket slowly spit out from the top of the machine. "Bang la", the little girl quickly tore off the receipt and put it on the counter in front of Anxin.

"WeChat? Alipay? "The little girl is asking for a safe payment method.

"Alipay." Anxin replied as he handed over his mobile phone.

At the same time, Anxin picked up the small receipt on the counter, "crab roe small cage 36 yuan, fried bun 16 yuan, small wonton 10 yuan, a total of 62 yuan", the original soup dumpling restaurant is not unchanged, this price is not the same as ten years ago, almost doubled. Also, prices and wages have at least doubled compared with ten years ago, and it is completely reasonable for soup dumpling restaurants to increase their prices.

In the few seconds when Anxin wandered, there was a "beep" sound in his ears, followed by the little girl's "what to eat" inquiry, and Anxin realized that he had to leave the counter immediately, otherwise it would hinder the customers behind him from ordering.

Anxin walked to the store with a small receipt in hand, because it was not yet time to eat, and the customers in the huge store were less than thirty percent, and people were scattered between the tables and chairs. An Xin walked towards the square table closest to him, the table happened to be against a window, through the window, An Xin noticed that the sky outside was a little overcast, there were already pedestrians on the road with umbrellas, and the glass of the window was also splashed with fine rain.

The waiter who was shuttling around the store saw Anxin sitting down with a small ticket in his hand, and immediately stepped forward.

"What did you order? Give me the receipt! A middle-aged woman of five years and three thick, dressed in white clothes and black pants, stood at the table of peace of mind, staring at the copper bell-like eyes and urging impatiently.

With peace of mind and obedience, he handed over the receipt in his hand. The middle-aged woman took the ticket with a poker face, and after a hurried glance, she tore off the lower half of the ticket with a "bang", and then reached for a plastic box on the table. Seeing that her fingers were still a palm's distance from the plastic box, it was difficult to reach for a while, and the middle-aged woman refused to move to the inside of the table, so she kindly took a small clip marked with a number from the plastic box and handed it to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman took the clip, put a clip on the half of the slip that she tore off, and hurried away.

It turns out that there are still many old traditions that have been preserved! Anxin looked at the back of the middle-aged woman leaving, with a look of nostalgia.

The pan-fried is ready-made and is served first; After that, there are the small ravioli, which also cook quickly; The slowest is the crab roe soup dumplings, which are steamed and steamed at the same time, and you have to wait at least 20 minutes. Fortunately, Anxin was not in a hurry, so he slowly tasted the food in front of him.

Anxin felt that she was just eating food unhurriedly, but in the eyes of others, her every move was full of faint elegance, coupled with her high-end professional suit, which made people feel like they were on the wrong set in a trance. A table of the most daily snacks actually made her eat the style of a French meal, which attracted the envious eyes of many diners.

After the crab roe cage was served on the table, Anxin couldn't wait to pick up a steaming crab roe xiaolong and bring it to his lips, gently open his lips, and bite a small bite on the dough with his front teeth; Anxin was not in a hurry to taste the filling in the bun, but blew two breaths into the filling on the bitten dough, and then a burst of hot air came out from the inside out; When the heat dissipated, she pursed her lips and carefully sucked the soup in the soup packet; Then she dipped the crab roe dumplings that had absorbed the soup in a vinegar dish, and then poured some vinegar into the bitten dough with a spoon. After all the processes were prepared, Anxin fed a whole crab roe basket into his mouth with a spoon and chewed it carefully.

Just as Anxin was eating with relish, the number of customers in front of the store gradually increased, and a couple of men and women who had just entered the door caught her attention. The woman had a big belly and was apparently pregnant. Judging from her appearance alone, Anxin feels that she should be the same age as herself. As soon as the pregnant woman entered the door, she couldn't wait to go to the counter, looking up with a red face and carefully studying what she wanted to eat. The man who followed closely behind him, who had been delayed for a few seconds by collecting his umbrella at the door, was yelling urgently, "Don't step there, there's water on the ground, beware of falling", "Slow down, there's a lot of people here, don't squeeze you".

This is a picture that is no longer an everyday one, but it is extremely warm in the eyes of peace of mind. Her body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warmth in an instant, and the heat was even better than the heating in the store.
