After a while.

A woman went online and started chatting with Miaohan.

"My name is Ke Xin," the woman introduced, "my man's name is Hong Quan!" ”

"Please!" Miao Han smiled slightly.

"I usually come home from work at nightfall," Kexin began to tell in earnest, "every time I go home, the bustling city begins to whitewash itself with colorful colors, and my heart gradually turns gray, and this not very good feeling seems unusually strong every time I go home." Although the lights in the house were on, I didn't feel the slightest warmth. When I think of the man named Hongquan who was waiting for me to come home at home, I had a feeling of wanting to cry. ”

"Are you in a bad relationship right now?" Miao Han asked thoughtfully.

"It used to be good," Kexin said with a serious face, "I've been married to Hong Quan for more than two years. We originally had a happy and warm home, I typed honestly in the unit, he worked diligently in the trade union, and was a dual-income family that everyone envied in a state-owned enterprise, and lived a happy and happy life. However, since he was transferred to Beijing due to work needs, I realized that he was so ordinary and insignificant in this northern city, and he turned a blind eye to all this. ”

"There are too many talents in Beijing," Miao Han smiled, "Whoever comes will feel very small, ordinary and insignificant!" ”

"Yes," said Ke Xin with a lonely expression, "Hong Quan often asks me if Beijing has made my heart wild, and I often ask him who has no ambition. ”

Miao Han smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

It looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Coming home that day," said Kexin in a faint voice that had fallen into a memory, "I walked through a crowded aisle that was dimly lit. At the end of the aisle, Hong Quan hummed 'a few degrees of wind and rain and a few degrees of spring and autumn' while skillfully lighting a fire and cooking. On the board with a few cracks, there was an extremely regular onion that he had just chopped......"

"He seems to be quite optimistic!" Miao Han smiled.

"Yes," said Ke Xin, who smiled reluctantly, "Hong Quan saw me returning, and talked loudly as he rode the clouds, and said that he felt that the onion could not be more appropriate as a metaphor for love: first, love should be full and strong, and look at the onion juice, vigorous, slightly transparent, and even glittering like an amethyst; Secondly, love should be pure and steadfast, and see which worm can eat the onion; Also, love should always be the same, look at the onion from the beginning to the end, it has always been the original appearance will not change, the last petal of the heart in the heart will always be like the layer when we first met......"

"Using onions as a metaphor for love," Miao Han said with a smile, "I guess it started from the day I hit the onions, it's so uncreative!" ”

"Yes!" Kexin said with a smile, "When Hong Quan uses onions as a metaphor for love, I say that onions make people cry!" As I spoke, I grabbed the lit cigarette from Hong Quan's mouth, and the fire in my heart burst up at once, and I said to him, "Don't you think the onion is not enough?" I have to smoke it again! ”

"I also hate men who smoke while cooking!" Miao Han said with a smile.

"I hate him like this," said Kexin angrily, "and he smiled when I counted the springs, but this laugh made me feel tired again." That's when the phone rang. I turned around and went into the house, and I knew it was Minghao calling. Ming Hao is a client I knew when I was working, with Sven's looks and handsome face, and more importantly, he not only has a house and a car in Beijing, but also has his own advertising agency. ”

"Did he call you out?" Miao Han asked tentatively.

"Yes," Kexin smiled and nodded, "Ming Hao asked me on the phone if I was free at night, I asked him what he meant, and he said that if I was free, he wanted to invite me to eat on Gui Street!" I asked when, and he said just now, because now the nightlife has just begun. He can take me wherever I want; Whatever I want to eat, he takes me to eat! ”

"Did you say yes?" Miao Han asked thoughtfully.

"I'm silent," Ke Xin said earnestly, "Hong Quan and I have been in Beijing for a short time, of course I've heard of Guijie, but I've never been there." My life is all about going to work, going home, going to work...... The days were as calm and tasteless as a pool of stagnant water. We live mechanically under the same roof day after day, more colleague than colleagues, older husband and wife than old couples. Hong Quan always came home on time after work, then cooked, and when I came back, he got up and put the food on the table. Minghao anxiously asked me what's wrong on the phone, and I said nothing, let me think about it, and call him again in five minutes! ”

"Are you hesitating to go?" Miao Han guessed.

"Yes," said Ke Xin, "when I turned off my phone, Haoquan, who was about to stir-fry, asked suspiciously who was calling, and I impatiently told him to leave it alone; Haoquan continued to ask me if the man was a man or a woman, and I suddenly became distraught. I said to Hong Quan, how is the man? What about women? I married you, and I didn't sell it to you, don't I have a little freedom of my own? Hong Quan said helplessly, of course you have that freedom. I said and sat down at the dresser, and while putting on makeup, I said to Haoquan that I had something to do, and that I might come back later, so that he could go to bed early. Haoquan didn't say a word, raised his head and looked at me silently. I suddenly got tired of his gaze, and I said angrily that there was nothing nice about makeup! Haoquan said that he would go after eating, and I said that I would eat when I came back, and after saying that, I put on my bag and ran away. ”

"You finally decided to deal with Minghao?" Miao Han said tentatively.

"Yes," Ke Xin said with a serious face, "I came to Gui Street, and in the midst of the people, I saw the well-dressed Minghao at a glance, and my heart began to ripple. Myeongho asked me if I had been here before, and I shook my head gently. Ming Hao said that he would bring me every day in the future, I stopped and smiled and asked him what he wanted to do, I said that I have a husband! ”

"What did he say?" Miao Han asked with interest.

"He just smiled faintly," Kexin said, "He said how about having a husband, what about not having a husband, and he also said that feelings are eaten!" I asked him if he often came to this kind of place, and he said yes, he said that he was not only here, but he had been to many famous food streets in Beijing! He asked me what to eat and I said whatever! That night, we walked around and ended up eating only a few 'Ma Xiao', because that's the signature dish and specialty of Gui Street. I was impressed by the bright red color and spicy taste of Maxiao. ”

"I kind of like that taste, too!" Miao Han smiled.

"Late that night," said Ke Xin with a smile, "Ming Hao sent me home, and he kissed me when we parted. When I went downstairs, I found that the lights were still on in the room and the hallways were still crowded. I opened the door and saw Hong Quan looking at me with a piercing eye. He pretended to humorously say that the rice was on the table, the soup was in the basin, and of course he was in bed. I glanced at the table, and the plate was full of onions. I silently looked at the onion for a moment, and there was a tear in my eyes; I turned around again and saw the spring sitting beside the bed, and my eyes felt like I saw an onion; I shook my head, shook off my heels, went to bed, and turned my head back to sleep. ”

"Won't you wash it?" Miao Han asked thoughtfully.

"Hong Quan asked me the same question," said Kexin, "and he asked me why I didn't eat or wash my feet, and I said I was tired and not hungry, and I turned away. Behind me, the sound of Hong Quan munching on food could be heard. ”

"He's waiting for you to come back and have dinner together!" Miao Han thought about it.

"Yes," said Kexin with a soft sigh, "and the lights in the room were turned off, and it was dark everywhere. In the darkness, I heard the voice of the man who was undulating above me, and for the first time I turned my face sideways, avoiding the onion smell of Hongquan's mouth. ”

"You're too unparticular about men!" Miao Han smiled.

"It's just not exquisite," Kexin said with a look of disgust, "After that day, Minghao often asked me out. Gradually, I came home later and later. Finally, after an all-night stay, I filed for divorce from Hong Quan. ”

"Is it because of Beijing, or is it because of Minghao?" Miao Han asked thoughtfully.

"Because of Beijing," Kexin said with a complicated expression, "that night, Hong Quan asked me bitterly if it was because I came to Beijing, and I said yes without hesitation. Hong Quan said with a sad face that he could be transferred back again, so that we could live happily together in that unit as before! I said to him with a blank face that I didn't want to go back, that I didn't have any interest in that life now. ”

"Then there is no way!" Miao Han smiled slightly.

"After I said that," said Kexin earnestly, "Hongquan stopped talking, and began to smoke one cigarette after another with his head down. The house was filled with smoke. After a moment, he nodded desperately. I felt extremely relaxed and free again, I didn't have to go back to that cramped and cramped room, and I didn't have to see the man who only knew how to cook with his head down in the smoke and smoke. I naturally walked with Minghao and started our 'eating' love years in a bright light. ”

"It's a blessing to be able to eat!" Miao Han smiled.

"Soon," said Ke Xin, with a look of disgust, "the demolition of Gui Street began. In the newspapers, inside reports of using 'saliva and oil' to make 'hemp small' began to be published. On Gui Street, some old shops 'go to other places', some change places, and some are dying...... At this time, while I felt disgusted with 'Ma Xiao', I also felt tired of Ming Hao in the morning and evening. In the end, I left him forever without even saying goodbye, but I never returned to Haoquan's side after leaving him, and I began my own years of 'eating' love. ”

"Where have you been?" Miao Han asked with interest.

"I've been to a lot of places," Ke Xin gushed endlessly, "in the unpopular but very popular Guang'an/Men Food Street, I felt the 'amazing' shock in the simplicity; in the Fucheng Road Food Street, where there are many big stores, I experienced the majestic and unique style; in the SOHO Modern City Food Street, where the 'white bones' gathered, I felt the atmosphere of the fusion of New York and Paris at night; In the well-planned Laitai Food Street, I know what it means to have few big names but new ideas; In the 'combination of soil and ocean' Xiaoyun Road, in the affordable Asian Games Village Huizhong Road and Datun Road Food Street...... I eat wherever I go, I eat wherever I want. I don't care who I'm eating with anymore, all I care about is whether what I eat in my mouth is delicious. ”

"I'd love to eat like this, too!" Miao Han said half-truthfully.

"Time flies," Ke Xin said with emotion, "the days are digested by me day by day in the love of 'eating'." Two years later, I heard that the renovation of Gui Street was completed, and Jiushengju, Connector Code, Tongli Garden, Dongxing Building, Fengshengzhai, and Jidehou ...... Familiar shops have returned to Gui Street. So, I thought about going to Gui Street again. I made an appointment with a new man, and I couldn't even remember the man's name. ”

"You're so bold," Miao Han smiled, "I don't dare!" ”

"We soon arrived at Gui Street," Ke Xin recounted to herself, "from the Dongzhimen overpass to the intersection of Xiaojie, the streets and alleys were set off by the red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the street. The antique paving houses in Xinjie are tall and bright, which is different from the simplicity, kindness and enthusiasm of the past, and Xingui Street has a new look. I clearly felt that after several storms, Gui Street was like a reborn night rose, blooming sonorously in the depths of the city, exuding an intoxicating light. In one shop, when I cheerfully shouted out the 'Ma Xiao' that I once hated, my eyes stayed on the dinner table next to the stall owner. Taking advantage of the lack of people, the stall owner and his wife sat at the dining table and pulled food into their mouths indiscriminately...... From time to time, his wife still carries vegetables into his bowl. ”

"What's the stall owner's food?" Miao Han asked with interest.

"That dish," said Kexin with tears in her eyes, "is just a simple and cheap plate of fried onions." Suddenly there was a spicy sensation in my eyes. I looked up at the ceiling above me, trying not to let my tears flow. I have heard people say that when a person wants to cry, he raises his head, and no amount of tears will flow back into his heart, leaving no trace. I looked up and looked silently at the ceiling. I finally believe that some things are destined to make people cry, like an onion, like an onion that has never changed since the beginning and the end of the peel. At that moment, I clearly felt that since the divorce from Hong Quan, those delicious things actually did not make me feel truly happy. ”

"Is Hongquan still in Beijing now?" Miao Han asked thoughtfully.

"I want to know, too," Kexin said tearfully, "so I couldn't help but pick up the phone number I once knew, and I wondered if the man was still in Beijing." The phone rang, and the familiar sound of Hong Quan's breathing could be heard clearly in the microphone. I asked him sadly if he was still in Beijing, and he said that he was still there, and he said that he was waiting for me to go back, and when I went back for dinner, because he lost me in Beijing, and he would not leave Beijing! ”

At this time, Kexin's tears burst out of her eyes.

"Actually, you should believe," Miao Han said earnestly, "that the happiness you yourself have been hidden in the fireworks that make you cry." ”

Kexin nodded earnestly.

Miao Han smiled slightly.

After a while.

I asked Miao Han softly:

"You don't seem to be touched by her?"

"What are you moved by?" Miao Han said with a disdainful face, "Such a woman is not worthy of sympathy!" ”

"Any woman loses herself sometimes," I said solemnly, "and if you love her, you should show her the way!" ”

Miao Han looked at me quietly, thoughtfully.

I smiled and picked up my glass and drained the beer in one gulp.
