The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the county seat is quite large, but the population is still small, compared with the county seat to which the prosperous city belongs, the population is more than one and a half stars less.

As far as she could see, there were few pedestrians on the road, and it was so empty that it made people think it was a dead city.

Maybe when the educated youth didn't return to the city, it was still lively here. Or perhaps, because of the snowy day, people are in the cat winter, so it seems cold and empty.

Seeing her beautiful eyes lingering into the distance, the middle-aged woman asked with a smile while leading the way, "Your skin is so white that you are from the south, right?" ”

"It's not." Chu Xi retracted his gaze and replied.

The middle-aged woman was a little stunned: "Huh? No? I saw that you were looking at the snow with good eyes, and I thought you were a child of the South. ”

Their family has been here for more than ten years, and some of the people who used to be educated youths here have brought their families back to take a look, and some people in the south have run into the snow like seeing their relatives when they see snow, eager to roll.

She couldn't understand why these people liked the cold snow.

Chu Xi met her suspicious gaze, and only smiled, seeing that near the hotel that Zhao Dahu was looking for, she thanked her, stepped on the "creaking" snow, turned into the parking place, bypassed the car, and pulled the curtain in.

Zhao Dahu saw her and beckoned, "Here!" ”

There were already two bowls of mutton soup and fritters in front of him, and the bowl of mutton soup in front of him was covered with a layer of red chili oil.

Chu Xi paused for a moment and walked over, "Are there any small wontons?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Dahu was stunned for a moment, "Is it a dumpling?" They have lamb dumplings, do you want to eat them? ”

He was born in the north and had also heard of wontons, because they were all thin dough and meat filling, so he subconsciously felt that wontons were another name for dumplings.

Chu Xi: "No. Ravioli is a little ......"

Tiny dumplings?

Chu Xi said and said, amused by himself, shook his head, and went over to ask the owner of the small restaurant. The boss is a local, but he also knows this thing because he has had a lot of contact with people who have moved from other provinces.

It's just that

He could try to do it, but he had to wait.

The boss saw that her face was not very good, and she was a little lacking in energy when she spoke, so he thought that if she could, he would help her get a bowl. It's just that this stuffing is rolled out into the pot, even if it is for one person, it takes half an hour......

"Is there porridge?" Chu Xi frowned when he saw the boss, so he changed it, "White porridge is fine, don't put sugar, don't put pickles, less rice and more soup." ”

"Yes, yes, this one." The boss nodded, turned around and took a bowl out of his pot, and said with a smile, "This was originally our own food, and I will give you a bowl without money." ”

Zhao Dahu often comes, he is familiar with him, and when he saw Chu Xi and Zhao Dahu together, he was not ready to collect the money for this bowl of white rice porridge.

The folk customs in the northwest are rough and tough, and the brothers are extremely righteous, so that even the rice bowl has a boldness.

The bowl was large and the meals were generously portioned.

Chu Xi only drank white porridge to relieve the discomfort in his stomach, and the two bowls of mutton soup and four fritters all went into Zhao Dahu's stomach, Zhao Dahu thought that he might eat it, but after eating, he actually had the urge to touch his stomach and sigh.

It's a great time to eat!

"Would you like to add more?" Chu Xi didn't show surprise at the amount of food he ate, pinched the spoon, raised his eyes and asked him.

She drank half of the bowl of porridge, and he had already eaten all the mutton soup and fritters.

Zhao Dahu wanted to burp a little, but he was embarrassed to do this in front of Chu Xi, and when he heard this, he only waved his hand violently.

Chu Xi nodded, put down the spoon, took out twenty yuan from his bag, and handed it to him, "Please go outside and look for it, there are fruit sellers, help me buy some." ”

"Okay." Zhao Dahu immediately stood up, took the money, and asked, "How much did you buy?" ”

"Bought them all. Buy some of all sorts. Stay safe. She wasn't sure what the fruit shops had here, but she probably had apples and pears.

Zhao Dahu glanced at most of the porridge she still had, estimated the time, nodded, took the money and went out.

When the people left, Chu Xi asked the boss, settled the meal money in advance, and then slowly drank the porridge. Seeing that her face was still not good, the boss thought that her clothes were thin and frozen, so he moved a brazier and put it at her feet.

She was the only one in the store at this time, and the owner pulled a stool, separated her from her, and chatted with her in his local Mandarin. "Actually, my wife and I both ate mutton soup in the morning, and she was pregnant and couldn't eat the meat, so she cooked porridge. You're in a hurry, otherwise you wouldn't have found white porridge. ”

There is corn grits porridge, but I am afraid that she will not be used to drinking it.

Chu Xi replied and said thank you. I heard him say again, "My wife is from Lu Province, and she is next to Yu Province." I went to elementary school, studied well, could write and count, and wrote beautifully, and taught the first grade of primary school in our county. After more than eight years, I have been teaching all the children well, so the principal asked my wife to take the secondary school exam, and then turned her into a regular teacher and became a serious teacher......"

The boss chattered, his eyes were full of pride, "My wife and I look at each other." She didn't think I smelled of oily smoke, she was kind to me, and I secretly bought pork belly for her to give her a tooth sacrifice. ”

As he spoke, he laughed.

The boss looked like he was forty years old, and his face was full of satisfaction, "The elementary school here starts at half past ten, and she has an afternoon class, let her sleep a little longer, and I will call her to get up and eat." ”

Chu Xi listened quietly and said congratulations.

At this time, it was time to eat, and more and more people entered the store, and the boss quickly got up and got busy.

Chu Xi glanced at it and withdrew his gaze. Most of the half-grown children in the store are carrying school bags, and the boss must have a conscience to reassure parents and children.

When those children saw Chu Xi, their eyes were full of amazement, and they were embarrassed to stare at people all the time, and they would sneak a glance at them from time to time.

"She's good-looking, and her watch is good-looking."

"Well, it's not the same one our teacher wears."

Chu Xi listened to the whispers of these children, and his eyes swept over his wrists, these are foreign mechanical watches specially equipped to show financial strength when discussing business.

The cost performance is relatively high, even if it is suspended, it can be sold at a good price.

She drank the porridge slowly, her stomach felt a lot more comfortable, and after waiting for a while, Zhao Dahu came in with a thick cotton curtain with a stream of cold air.

Chu Xi got up and walked to the door with a thermos cup, Zhao Dahu stopped at the door, didn't go any further, and said to her, "It's all bought and put in the car." ”

The two got into the car and headed for their destination again.

And Cui Junhai and Xue Aikong also supported the dog's guts, relying on the good relationship between the family and the Si family, they came to the leader Si Ren, and asked him with a smile if there were any beautiful girls of seventeen or eighteen years old among his relatives.
