Chapter 52: Phantom
"Got rid of themβ"
An Lixu looked at the angry gangsters outside the door, his solemn expression was finally liberated, and he pulled Xia Yu to pick a vacant seat and sit down.
An Lixu asked, "Are you tired?" β
Xia Yu replied, "It's okay." β
An Lixu looked refreshed: "It's okay, I'll take you to eat oden when I get to the station, there is a restaurant there that tastes good." β
Xia Yu: "......" dare to love that you haven't eaten yet!
An Lixu understood her expression, he stretched out his foot and gently kicked Xia Yu's calf, and raised his eyebrows: "I just ran around, the hot pot meal has already been digested, and besides, don't you want to eat it?" β
Xia Yu retracted her calf uncomfortably, thinking: My heart is so big, after this speed of life and death, I still want to eat.
The two got off the subway and, under the leadership of An Lixu, came to a shop with lights on.
She looked around, only to feel that the store was very small, the tables and chairs were dilapidated, there was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling, there was no decoration in it, and the dim light shone on the small shop, which made Xia Yu only feel that it was very quiet here, and it had a taste of home.
The proprietor is an old man, and he is pouring soup into different small squares, and the meat and vegetables in each grid are stimulated by the soup and float upward, gurgling, and the air is full of rich fragrance.
"Grandpa Lu, I'm here again." An Lixu threw the bag on the counter and greeted the old man very skillfully.
Grandpa Lu held the reading glasses on his face, saw who this kid was, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "An family boy, come to me to eat again!" β
"How can you, don't you just look forward to me every day?" An Lixu replied with a smile.
Seeing Xia Yu behind him, he asked, "You brought your classmates here?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yu hurriedly said, "Hello Grandpa Lu, my name is Xia Yu." β
"Good boy, I have a girlfriend at a young age, it's really unusual." Grandpa Lu feigned anger.
When Xia Yu heard this, her face turned red inadvertently.
"Grandpa, it's just a friend, don't get me wrong." He said casually, motioned for Xia Yu to find a random place to sit, waved his hand at Grandpa Lu, and then walked straight to the corner of the store familiarly.
There was a large porcelain jar there, and he sniffed, took out two porcelain bowls from the cabinet next to him, and scooped two bowls of fruit vinegar.
"Come and try it, Grandpa Lu's own fruit vinegar."
Xia Yu took a bowl, didn't drink it, put down the bowl, and read in the direction of Grandpa Lu: "Thank you, Grandpa Lu." β
"The girl doll is so good, grandpa will make you something to eat." Grandpa Lu was already smiling at the corner of his mouth, holding a pu fan in his hand, fanning it gently, the coal stove next to him was boiling taro, and the heat and fragrance were spreading in the dim hut, which could especially arouse the cravings in the stomach.
Two bowls of oden, two bowls of taro soup, and also brought the squid with sauce grilled yesterday, seeing the two little guys staring at the food with bright eyes, Grandpa Lu fanned the fan with satisfaction, and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, it's not enough." β
Xia Yu was almost drinking water in the hot pot at night, smelling the fragrance, and she ate it unceremoniously.
The soft and glutinous taro soup boiled down, and a warmth spread from all over her body, and her heart was not so panicked at this time.
After eating and drinking, the time was getting later and later, afraid that An's mother would call to urge people, An Lixu ran to pay, but was blocked by Grandpa Lu: "I only accept money from adults, and I will give you money when you grow up." β
"Grandpa, if you're like this, my mom is going to talk about me again." An Lixu smiled, and secretly stuffed the money under the newspaper while Grandpa Lu was not paying attention.
"Then let her tell me when you kid have seen you scared." Grandpa Lu obviously knew a thorough understanding of An Lixu, stuffed a bag of boxed oden for him, and said, "Give it to your parents." β
"Goodle, goodbye grandpa." When he went out, An Lixu threw a flying kiss at Grandpa Lu.
Xia Yu also said goodbye, but when he went out, he saw that An Lixu's hippie smiling expression disappeared instantly, as if it was just a phantom, but there was more bitterness in his eyes at this time.
