It's been a while since I got off work.

On the way, Zhong Sheng was a little dazed, where to go? It's been a long time since I've eaten a serious meal, and I can't eat a person's meal.

Although, during the holiday, Lan Lan also asked him to eat together, and as before, the two of them ate together intimately without any guilt. But he didn't dare to go, it was because Xiaolan was as enthusiastic as the fire and could melt steel, he was just an ordinary man, how could he withstand such tempering. He was afraid that he would fall too deep and end up unable to explain to each other. So I called it sick and didn't go to her. She wanted to come to see him, but he only said that he was going to be contagious, and asked her not to come, so as not to bring the illness back and infect the child, but she would be busy for a while. She wouldn't believe it. But when it is said that this is the case, it is not easy to find a break, lest everyone be embarrassed, so she has to give up.

I haven't seen Aunt Mu for a long time, and today, this person named Shi Huating mentioned her, but he wanted to go and see her, just to accompany the old man for a meal. It's best that he cooks by himself, which can be regarded as repaying the old man for his care on weekdays. So he went to the vegetable shop and bought some vegetables and fruits, as well as a bottle of wine, and carried them home.

knocked on the door, and after a while, Aunt Mu opened the door. Seeing that it was Zhong Sheng, he said: I thought it was her uncompetitive grandson, but I didn't know it was him, so I let him into the house. The aunt was panting heavily, obviously sick.

Zhong Sheng asked: What's wrong with Auntie? The old man said with difficulty: I have a cold, and I have been suffering from pulmonary heart disease for several days. In the morning, I called my grandson and said that he would come back to see her at noon today, and he hadn't seen anyone until now, and he was sulking when he came. Hearing the old man say this, Zhong Sheng felt a little self-blamed, these days he was hiding in the house and thinking about his thoughts, why didn't he go to the old man's house for a walk, didn't he already know that his aunt was sick? These days happen to be on vacation, and he is idle, so he can take care of her and make the old man feel better.

Aunt Mu lost her husband at an early age and never remarried. He lost his son in old age and died in the line of duty. A few years ago, my daughter-in-law remarried, leaving behind a grandson, who was idle all day long and didn't do business. How many tragic stories in this world have been encountered by her alone, which is really embarrassing. But the old man has a strong heart, a stubborn personality, treats people sincerely and kindly, and is a warm-hearted person. So the people in this building respect her very much, and as soon as they meet, they call her affectionate.

But the years are not forgiving, and as I get older, my legs and feet are not as good as they are getting better. Sometimes, even if you don't see her for a few days, everyone will come to the door to take a look and ask. And Zhong Sheng is the head of this building, and he has the responsibility to take care of his aunt.

Therefore, seeing his aunt like this today, he will inevitably blame himself.

"You can come and see Auntie, Auntie is very happy, and she is carrying something." Aunt said politely. "It's nothing, just go back to your own home, there's nothing good, auntie, I'm going to cook today, what do you want to eat, just say it, I'll do it." Zhong Sheng carried his things into the kitchen, turned around, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands.

First, wash the oranges, apples, and pears and put them on a plate, and serve them to the aunt to eat. Then picking, washing, and chopping vegetables, the action is very quick.

Aunt was very happy when she saw it. smiled and said again and again: "It's really hard for you, it's smoky, I should come." If only I had a girl, Zhun Bao married her to you, such a good person, it's hard to find a lantern. ”

Hearing what the aunt said, Zhong Sheng said a little embarrassed: "Auntie, look at what you said, in the past, I didn't eat less of your old cooking, that is called a fragrant, now your old body is inconvenient, I will make it for you, of course, otherwise, God will scold me." ”

"All the nonsense, such a good person, it's too late for God to bless you, how can I scold you!" Cough, cough, the old man coughed violently from the fumes.

Seeing this, Zhong Sheng hurriedly pulled up the kitchen door and shouted to his aunt through the crack in the door: "Auntie, I'll close the door for a while, don't choke you." You eat some fruit first, and I'll be fine. ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. Alas, I can't help you at all. It's old and useless! "Auntie, sighed, and said helplessly.

"Auntie, what are you talking about, you are not yet 80, today, there is an old man in our office, all of them are 87, guess what people say, only 87! Playing WeChat, playing games, that life is called a duffle. Oh, by the way, he said he knew you! Zhong Sheng's first plate of fried pork with celery was placed on the table.

"Well, it smells like incense!" The old man praised. "Know me?" She was a little confused. "What's his name?"

"Shihua Pavilion."

"Doctor Shi! It was him, who should I be? Yes, yes, yes, I know, my old frozen shoulder, he got it right, and it hasn't hurt for a year. That person is a good person, but I have never seen anyone who plays WeChat or games, that is your young man's business, he is a person who is about to enter the ground, where else to play? Old and unserious. ”

"Auntie, look at what you said, what is old and not serious, let me tell you this, youth is the attitude of life, and it has nothing to do with age! You've got to change your old mindset. Zhong Sheng said as he peeled an orange and handed it to the old man.

"It's a little cold, you instigate slowly, I'll continue to make my braised pike." With that, he went into the kitchen again.

"You leave me alone, I'll do it myself." The old man broke open the orange petals and tasted it carefully, it was ice, sour, and sweet! His eyes narrowed into a slit, and his throat didn't feel so itchy. Zhong Sheng was busy in the kitchen, and of course he couldn't see this scene.

Thanks to Zhong Sheng's singleness for many years, he usually relies on himself inside and out, although he is lazy, he will not be sloppy. "A good single man is one who is not only good for society. He is also a person who can take care of himself well. Never be the kind of person who is pitiful and pitiful. That's something he's proud of. At the very least, his ex-wife's prediction came true: "In a year, you will be living on the streets like a Shar Pei." "If a woman hates, it's a piece of granite, and she can bite off a horn.

If "hate" can kill people, how many people will be hated to death in this world? I'm afraid that most of the ghosts are in the illusory emotional world. That world is the most imaginary, but it is real. One night husband and wife for 100 days, the affairs of men and women, which is right and wrong, if you win, you will be scattered. Why bother!

After a while, the table was full of his masterpieces, although they were ordinary, but at this time they had a different mind. The old man saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and the gratitude and apology on her face made her expression very complicated.

"Auntie, it's time to eat, let me tell you, this is also my first meal of the new year! Let's have a festive New Year! "Huh?" What about wine? "I didn't take out the wine, so I turned around and went to the kitchen to take it out." Auntie, would you like to drink? ”

"How can I drink!" The old man looked at him kindly and smiled.

"It doesn't matter, I'll squeeze you a glass of orange juice! You should wait a moment, and it will be fine for a while. Hurriedly ran into the kitchen, peeled a few oranges, chopped them with a knife, squeezed them with his hands until they were sore, and then squeezed a small bowl of orange juice and tasted the ice teeth. I added a little boiling water and tasted it again, Mom, it's so sour! It doesn't taste as good as ice. I reached out the window and let the winter cool down a bit. All right.

Looking sideways at Zhong Sheng's actions in the kitchen, the aunt was very emotional, "Such a good person, why doesn't anyone like it?" Are women nowadays so visionary? "I can't figure it out.

The juice was served, and the second pot head was unscrewed. Looking at the wine bottle carefully, he almost burst out laughing: I had made up my mind not to drink, isn't it the New Year today, so I grabbed a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou like a thief. Now it can be seen clearly: Niugang Mountain, the two horns are gone.

It doesn't matter so much, I'll settle the accounts later! Poured a small cup and raised it: "Happy New Year, Auntie, health and longevity!" ”

I touched my aunt's paper cup.

"I wish you a good daughter-in-law in the New Year!"

"Medium! Lend you the old good words! All wishes come true! "Only a small sip. Auntie took a big sip, nodded, and liked!

"Eat, eat." Zhong Sheng diligently cooked vegetables for his aunt.

"You eat too, you eat too." The aunt kept nodding her head, very happy in her heart.

The two of them ate and talked, and unconsciously talked about Dr. Shi again. "He used to be romantic, he was the manager of the city hotel, and at that time, the hotel manager was very popular!" Aunt said.

"Hotel manager?" This surprised Zhong Sheng, it was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. The city hotel has been contracted out for several rounds, and now it is all outsiders, who know nothing about the past. So he ran a few times, but nothing came of it. It's really a coincidence that there is no book, whoever you want, whoever comes. Thinking of this, I was in a good mood, picked up my glass, and drank it all.

After the meal was finished, Zhong Sheng cleaned up and stopped, and Aunt Mu's unobtrusive grandson hadn't come back yet.

Zhong Sheng and his aunt made an appointment to come to eat with his aunt in the evening. He took his leave and went back to his room. Lying on the sofa, he kept saying in his heart: The name Shi Huating, he turned out to be the head of the hotel, he must know such a person as Ye Qinghong. Then, the person who was loved by her to death at that time also knew who it was.

can be estimated according to his age, he was already retired at that time, will he still know Ye Qinghong? If he didn't know, he should know who the successor manager was, right? Follow this clue and check it out, and there should be results.

Thinking like this, thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.
