Her eyes wandered over the wall of the living room: newspapers, photos, and all kinds of messy things, and when she saw the bowl of noodles again, she instantly wandered, and unconsciously remembered Tian Runsheng, who she hadn't remembered for a long time - it is said that after the last time he had a head injury, he was sent to Yanjing, and since then there has been no news, I don't know what Hao Hao's expression will be, I want to be sad and cry bitterly, or I don't know at all

Hu Xiao shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Passing through the wall again, she felt that the room was a little dark, but she didn't immediately pull the curtains, but lowered her head and quickly ate the hot noodles, sent the bowl to the kitchen, and then came out again, her eyes continued to sweep over a row of cabinets, and then she didn't know where to find her glasses and put them on, and turned on the lamp next to the rocking chair.

The summer breeze gently blew through the window lattice, shaking the gauze almost invisibly. The temperature outside the house was high, but the room where Hu Xiao was was really cold like a cold cellar, but she was like a nobody, nesting in a rocking chair, picking up wool and knitting needles, and weaving them quickly.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the house, and she looked up as if she felt something.

She got up and stood on the side of the window edge against the wall, gently opened the curtain with her knitting needle, and looked out with a frown.

In the past, her family lived in a brand-new government compound, but time has passed, her father stepped down, her mother went to prison, she finally divorced, and now lives in a relatively dilapidated community, the old community residents downstairs, butterflies flying, birds chirping, the firecrackers that have just been lit have not burned out, and the firecrackers are slamming on the side of the road, but it adds a bit of vitality.

Suddenly out of nowhere came a person, this person was very familiar, Hu Xiao stood by the window, the lamp in the room pulled the figure out of the elder, I saw her unconsciously moving with one hand, pinching tightly with the other, and suddenly Hu Dingbang, who was walking downstairs, also stopped his movements as if he felt something, and looked up.

But just a moment before their eyes met, Hu Xiao's fingers moved slightly, and the curtains quietly closed.

The aperture of the table lamp outlines the contours of Hu Xiao's side face, the eyelashes are drooping and the roots are distinct, the smooth nose is smeared with a small piece of warm yellow, and the neck is glowing with ivory, meandering all the way to the deep collarbone. However, when ignoring her sallow face and strong hatred, this picture is really beautiful.

Hu Xiao's uncontrollable lips moved, vaguely a two-word swearing, but he didn't scold.

Since Hu Dingbang divorced, he is also chic, walking with the wind, and because his father is doing a good job, his days are also rising, but when he caught a glimpse of his ex-wife just now, his mood was complicated and unbearable, but unfortunately it was only fleeting, and he was soon attracted by the excitement ahead.

Hao Hao didn't know about this little episode.

When she brought a group of more than a dozen people to her home, before she could speak, she was blocked in the yard by Sun Jian, who was carrying a large pot of mung bean soup.

"It's Liu Lao, why did you come here?" Sun Jian couldn't help but ask when he looked down at the old man in the flower bed.

"Master Sun, are you not working in the mining area?" The old man called Liu Lao turned his head suddenly, and when he saw Sun Jian with a surprised face, he was also stunned, and the mining area did not hear about the dismissal of the cooking master, besides, Sun Jian is a well-known person in their town who cooks deliciously, why is he here now, it seems that he is resident in Xiahe Village.

"It's been a long time since I quit, so I'll come to Hao Hao to work here." Sun Jian was not embarrassed at all, and replied with a smile.

"Is it true that the mine is going to lay off workers?" A young man hurriedly asked.

"It should be, it's just that I've been working in the mining area for so many years, and I've been staying for a long time, and I'm tired of chickens and ducks hurriedly coming out to make something else, anyway, it's all cooking anywhere, it's better to find one you like, come and sit down and drink some mung bean soup, and talk while drinking." As Sun Jian spoke, he put the mung bean soup on the long table, and then the fat man behind him came out with a bowl, one serving the soup and the other setting the bowl, and the cooperation was very tacit.

Hao Hao took advantage of her free time to say a few words to Sun Jian, and she went into the house to change her clothes, and soon came out again.

"It's almost noon, what do you want to eat?" Hao Haokan glanced at those who were not idle, glanced at Sun Jian again, and found that they were chatting hotly, so he couldn't help asking.

"I don't know if Master Sun's craftsmanship has improved recently?" Liu Lao looked at Sun Jian's round face, white and soft, and knew that he was doing a good job in Xiahe Village, otherwise he would have done a good job in Xiahe Village, otherwise he would have left as he said he would, and Hao Hao's craftsmanship was also excellent, but now Hao Hao's body is too heavy, let her cook, don't say that she doesn't dare to speak, even if she does, others will say that she is disrespectful to the old and doesn't know how to be considerate of juniors, and besides, they are guests, how can any guest ask the hostess of the main house to cook with her stomach up, he doesn't dare to open his mouth about this matter.

"Okay, I'll try to satisfy what I want to eat." Sun Jian came here, cooking is also free, if the mood is good, you can change the tricks to do dozens of dishes a day, if it is not good, at least five, today is a guest, he doesn't need to command, just roll up his sleeves and hurry up to prepare.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the braised vegetables made by the proprietress, I don't know if I can eat it today?" Liu Lao Ke was a glutton, he felt that since he was an acquaintance, he didn't have to hide his words, and he soon spoke.

"It's okay to have braised vegetables, but I think it's good to eat hot pot, do you want to eat spicy or light?" Hao Hao smiled and asked for advice.

"I want to be spicy" A young man sat on the side of the bench, holding the mung bean soup and drinking it deliciously, and his eyes lit up when he heard that he was eating hot pot.

"I want clear soup." Liu Lao opened his mouth, he actually wanted to eat spicy food, but when people are old, sometimes they are very uncomfortable when they eat spicy food, and for their own health, it is better to choose to eat clear soup.

"Spicy"

"Clear soup"

……

For a while, the voices in the courtyard came and went, and the people passing by Hao Hao's house just smiled and went home.

After counting the soup pot, the next step is the preparation time for the side dishes.

There are too many people living in Hao Hao's house, and one or two people are too late at all, so everyone works together, the old ones rest, the small ones pull vegetables, wash vegetables, cut meat, and the meals for a family of about 100 people are ready quickly.

The boiling soup pot was steaming, and the people sitting around the table didn't have time to talk to others, so they hurriedly threw their favorite dishes into the soup pot in front of them.

"Hiss", the hot teeth grinning, and the grinning ones are reluctant to vomit.

In fact, the life of the people in the town was not very rich in the eighties, and it was extremely luxurious to be able to eat meat and drink drinks, but no one would let themselves suffer all the time, and they would buy some meat to enjoy it when they could enjoy it, but it was the first time they had eaten like this, and the hot pot had a long history, even if it was a parallel time and space, they loved it very much, but due to their own conditions, they didn't eat much often and had few types.

Hao Hao sat in the corner, dipped in the sesame sauce a little slowly, put a piece of thinly sliced beef in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Xiao Le on the side from time to time.

It takes a lot of energy to use her brain, and she can only continue to work in the afternoon when she is full, so she doesn't care if her posture is good or not, as long as she can eat enough, Hao Hao saw that she was not a little uncomfortable, and she also followed her to eat beautifully.

Eating too much hot pot will get hot, especially in summer, the temperature is already high, the moisture in the body can not be discharged, and people love to sweat, so the body is particularly short of water, so they will drink some seasonal drinks and fruits, now is a good time to eat watermelon, Hao Hao next door to the B&B next to the ground there is a watermelon she planted, at this moment is also the harvest season.

"Guoguo went to take the fat man to pick two melons, and quenched his thirst after eating." Hao Hao secretly said to the girl on the other side.

"Hmm." Guoguo's mouth was still stuffed with meat, and she replied vaguely, but Hao Hao understood what she meant, and immediately ate her own with confidence.

About halfway through the meal, Guoguo went out with the fat man and the big and small black.

"Where did this baby go?" Sun Laohan looked sideways at Xu Laohan and asked.

"I guess I moved something." Old man Xu didn't raise his head to answer, and asked the two foodies to find something, which naturally had something to do with eating, so he didn't have to think about it to know that he was going to move something.

"How's business going today?" Sun Laohan is also rare to ask about his own business.

"Yes, there have been more people doing business in the town recently, but our family's business is still very good, but I don't know what happened to the people in this town, and the noise is uneasy." Xu Laohan opened his mouth quite worriedly

"Is it a matter of the Samsung mining area?" Sun Laohan also listened to it more or less, and naturally thought of it, and being laid off is no less than the sky falling for the people who are assigned jobs, so it is understandable to make a commotion.

"It should be." Xu Laohan has been doing business since his family, his pockets are bulging, and his confidence is enough, and he is not afraid of large-scale laid-off unemployment, it is estimated that before the release, the people in the village will sit together, cry and wipe their tears, and be worried, because a country represents all the people, if the national reform makes people fall into a bad state, they will also live an uneasy life, but now it is completely different, there is surplus food at home, and naturally there is no worry.

Not long after, Guoguo and the fat man carried the big round watermelon into the courtyard, and the other people who ate looked up and saw that the melon skin was dark green, and the lines on it were clearly visible.

They swallowed and foamed at the mouth.

The round watermelon was placed on the stone table, the back of the knife was stained with water, and then it quickly went down, and the watermelon broke in response, and soon revealed the true face of Lushan.

The red melon pulp, with black melon seeds in it, felt a burst of comfort all over the body before eating, no need to command, someone went up to get the watermelon, and before he got close, he smelled the fresh and sweet watermelon smell, and he didn't hold back his desire, reached out and grabbed a piece, and quickly sent it to his mouth.
