When I walked to the door, my hand had just touched the doorknob, and I heard another "clang" behind me, so I quickly turned around and looked at the pile of jars, and sure enough, I found that in the corner, the lid on a jar fell to the ground.

The jar was a little bigger than the others, and I really didn't know what it was in.

My dad usually takes care of these kimchi or something, and when the kitchen runs out of spices, I take some out of the designated jar according to his instructions.

As for the big jar, I never touched it, and my dad wouldn't let me touch it. I once asked my dad what he was, and he never answered me directly, and every time I talked about it, he always said:

"Just do your thing, don't ask if it's okay."

Picking up the lid of the jar that fell on the ground, it was lucky that it fell half a meter high and did not break.

I'm a little curious about how the lid of the altar fell off all of a sudden. Even if it was really a mouse, the lid was fastened to the jar well, and there was a rim around it that was fixed, and unless it was lifted from above, how could it fall to the ground.

Standing still, I couldn't figure out how I could think about it.

"Tang Xiaofan, why hasn't the pickled ginger been fished out yet? What are you doing in there?! ”

Hearing this, my dad was obviously anxious, afraid of being scolded, so I didn't think about it anymore, and quickly buckled the jar and walked out.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and there was still a table of customers drinking beer on the side of the street. I put away the tables and stools outside and put them in the bunk. Occasionally a guest or two would come over, and my dad would invite them away when it was closed.

Looking at the situation, the guests at that table have eaten about the same. Today's stall closed a little later than usual, and since the business started to boom, our store has also resumed closing at two o'clock.

It's not that I don't want to make money, the catering industry is too complicated, and if you continue to work for so long like before, people will have to be tired and have problems.

"Money is inexhaustible, and good health is the capital of the revolution."

As life got better, this phrase became my dad's mantra.

The pot was almost cleaned up, and I put the stool upside down on the table. The last table of guests beckoned me to settle the bill. After collecting the money, the people got drunk and helped each other all the way away, and I began to clean up the mess of their food.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a chill hit me.

It was still a sultry air, and suddenly there was such a cool breeze, which should have made me feel very comfortable, but I don't know why, I actually shivered.

On such a sweltering summer night, on the edge of the Huaihua Street Night Market, I shivered, which was somewhat incredible.

Looking back, the street behind him was empty.

Looking around, the lights were still on in the song hall not far away, and further on, it was the drunken guests who had just left.

Standing like this for a moment, I lowered my head and continued to clean up the mess.

"Why are you here?"

I heard my dad behind me suddenly say this. I quickly turned around and saw a woman standing in the middle of the shop, she put down a stool that I had pulled upside down and sat directly facing my dad.

"I want a bowl of chicken noodles, slightly spicy, and more bean sprouts." Brushing the hair on her forehead, she said, "Also, I don't want to be jealous." ”

The woman's voice was also cool and quiet, her face was painted with very light makeup, wearing a goose-yellow short-sleeved top and white pants, her age looked like she was in her thirties, and her expression was very cold.

This woman looks pampered and should know how to take care of it. They are used to sleep at this point in time, and they will definitely not come to eat "ghost diet" alone at such a big night.

My dad pinched the rag: "I'm sorry, we're going to rest." ”

The woman smiled and looked at my dad with her hands: "It's just a bowl of chicken noodles, and it won't take long." ”

"There's no more offal."

"Somen noodles then."

"The noodle soup is all poured out, and it will take a long time to start again."

"I've been waiting for so many years, what kind of time is this little time......"

Every word of my dad, the woman answered it fluently, and it seemed that she couldn't eat this bowl of noodles and would never give up. And especially his last sentence, there is a trace of unreasonable trouble in the ambiguity.

Re-boiling a pot of noodle soup is really light to say, eating a lamp grass.

It takes at least half an hour for the noodle shop to boil a large pot of water. A bowl of chicken noodles is only six yuan, so I sold her a bowl, which is not enough for the gas bill.

I was about to step forward to say something, but my dad suddenly stopped me: "Xiaofan, tonight, go to your cousin's house." You leave right now, I'll clean up here. ”

I still wanted to speak, but my dad glared at me, and his voice was harsher than before: "Don't hurry up and leave!" ”

I left the shop in a huff, and after walking a few steps I heard the clatter of the rolling shutters pulling down. When I looked back, I found out that my dad had actually closed the store.

And the moment the door closed, I saw the woman behind my dad stand up.

She also looked at me, her face was very pale......

Although my cousin and we live in the same city, we really don't have much contact with each other. My cousin said that she was nothing, but I couldn't stand her mouth.

It's not that she likes to be verbose, it's that she always likes to compare.

Her daughter graduated from graduate school and is now in a state-owned bank in a provincial city, with a bright future. But whenever she saw my dad, she would babble endlessly. While pointing at me, he looked distressed on the surface, but in fact, the sense of superiority in his heart should have exploded.

Serious lack of confidence, looking for someone to conquer.

At this point, I'd better find a random Internet café to spend the night. If I really go to my cousin's place and disturb her rest, her face will definitely not look good. Besides, her house is too big and the decoration is too luxurious, and I can't get used to it.

As I walked, I thought about what I had just seen.

I don't remember that woman at all, I've never seen her before.

However, judging from the way the two talked just now, I think my dad should know the woman, as for what their relationship is, it's really hard to say, it looks like a bit of an emotional dispute on the surface.

After my mom ran away with someone, my dad has been single for so many years, and if he really has something to do with that woman, it's not how normal it is.

However, my dad is almost fifty years old, and the woman is only in her thirties at most, a few years older than me, if I really get married in the future, I still have to call her Mom, I guess it will be a little awkward.

It's going to rain on this day, and my father wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and I can't care about it. But I don't understand, that woman is young and good-looking, what the hell is going on with my father.

There was an Internet café on the side of the road, and I turned in.

In the Internet café late at night, business is not very good, and when you look at it, there are a few people sitting loosely. There is a two-seater sofa next to the two computers, and the air conditioning is fully turned on, which is also comfortable.

I'll be here for a few hours, and I'll leave at dawn, and my dad and the girl should be ...... Almost.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a commotion in front of me.
