Chapter 35 Know the Roots

"Well, it's not a particularly good thing to uncover people's scars, and it's right not to ask." Tang Hongye nodded and agreed with the girl's approach, "Then if you talk about it, Su Ruicong is also quite depressed." ”

"No, he's not, he just doesn't have so many words, a very sunny person, it is estimated that he has encountered something unpleasant before, after all, his girlfriend who has been together for so many years turned out to be a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, so who is it, who can not be depressed for a while," the girl shook her head without thinking about it, "Later, Brother Su was in a good state, I guess he has also been in a long time and has recovered from his past feelings." In the past, he would not accept the stall until the whole street was astigmatized, but recently there were many times, and he answered a phone call halfway, saying that there was some entertainment, and then he left in a hurry, and when I saw him again the next day, I felt that the whole person was very energetic, that is, the spirit of 'people are in good spirits when they are happy', you can understand what I mean, right? ”

"Then he didn't tell you what was it about him who suddenly pulled so much energy and made him so happy?" Tang Hongye looked very curious, and continued to talk to the girl.

"I want to ask, isn't this a chance at all, he hasn't come at night these days, I called to ask if he still comes, he said something, he may not be busy recently, so he can't come first, put things here, go back and talk about it, and then he hung up the phone, I feel like I'm in a hurry to do something, I don't have the embarrassment to ask more," the girl sighed a little regretfully, "Brother Su said before, he can't work day and night like this all his life, I still do odd jobs on weekends, and I always have to think about what direction to go out of, and improve my life in a down-to-earth manner, so I guess he has found a way, he has just started so he is busy, and the night market will definitely not have the energy to come. ”

At this point in time, it is really difficult for people not to notice, before and after the accident of Xian Heyu, it was as if it was falling off, Su Ruicong, who was working everywhere to make money and save money, actually took the initiative to quit his part-time job in a weekend restaurant, and even the night market stall did not have the energy to come over, whether he was busy with other things for himself, it was just a coincidence in time, or was it that the things he was busy with during this time were related to Shi Yuyan.

Tang Hongye and Du Juan didn't plan to discuss this problem with the girl who opened a children's clothing store, they thanked her and prepared to leave, and the girl didn't forget to enthusiastically sell a sentence when she left, saying that if the children of relatives and friends at home need to buy clothes, come to her, everyone knows each other, counts acquaintances, and gives a discounted price.

After tossing around for such a round, it was noon in a blink of an eye, the cuckoo came out of breakfast in the morning, and he didn't feel how hungry he was, Tang Hongye didn't say anything at first, but a loud hunger in his stomach betrayed him.

"Are you hungry? Let's find a place to have lunch. When Du Juan heard it, he said to Tang Hongye, although he had already decided to distance himself from Tang Hongye and not mix other personal emotions, but the current situation obviously cannot be counted, because it is already noon, even if it is not Tang Hongye who comes out with her to investigate and visit, but someone else, it is impossible for her to be silent when people are hungry.

"I ...... I didn't eat in the morning, and I'm a little hungry now. Tang Hongye originally felt a little embarrassed and wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, this stomach was screaming so loudly, if he still insisted that he was not hungry at all, it would inevitably seem a little too fake and embarrassing, so he said it truthfully, he looked around, "I know that there is a noodle restaurant not far from here, which sells fried noodles with a large portion, good taste, and the price is quite affordable. ”

Du Juan nodded, she is not particularly picky about what she eats, and she is not very familiar with the environment of City A, and more importantly, she is still a little short of money at the moment, so the characteristics of the noodle restaurant that Tang Hongye said are really quite in line with her own requirements, so she readily agreed.

The two of them walked to the corner of the pedestrian street to pick up the car, drove for about ten minutes, and came to another street, which is a very prosperous street, and could not find a parking space, Tang Hongye drove the car into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall on the side of the road, and the two people went around again, turned into a small alley next to it, and found the noodle restaurant with a small signboard and a noodle shop with a small faΓ§ade.

The noodle shop is an old couple, in addition to a variety of fried noodles, noodle soup, but also make some simple home-cooked dishes, the area of the store is not large, but it is very clean and tidy, several square small tables are placed in a neat and orderly manner, each table is covered with a lattice tablecloth, the tablecloth is pressed with a glass plate, the glass plate is wiped very clean, there is no oil residue on it, the chopstick cage on the table is also very clean, it is the kind of style with a lid on it, don't worry about no business, Chopsticks are exposed to the outside and are not hygienic.

All in all, the impression is really good.

As soon as Tang Hongye walked in with Du Juan, the shopkeeper who was originally sitting at a table inside watching TV immediately got up to greet the guests, and when he saw that it was Tang Hongye, he immediately smiled at him and greeted him.

"Yo, it's Don Jr.! It's been a day since you've come! The shopkeeper is over sixty years old, slightly older than Tang Hongye and Du Juan's parents, his hair is a little gray, but his body is tough, his face is full of red, and he is full of anger when he speaks, "Your aunt and I are still talking, is this child tired of eating and doesn't like to come?" ”

"What's the matter, I've been busy lately, and it's just a coincidence, there's no time to come around here. No, I happened to be doing business around here today, and I will come directly to cheer you on after I finish my business! Tang Hongye was also very close to the shopkeeper, and replied with a smile.

The shopkeeper laughed, obviously the previous words were just joking with Tang Hongye, and he didn't take it seriously, his attention was quickly attracted by the cuckoo, after quickly looking at the cuckoo, the shopkeeper pointed at her and asked Tang Hongye: "Little Tang, this one you brought here is your ......?" ”

"Oh, this is my colleague Du Juan," Tang Hongye introduced Du Juan, "In addition to being my colleague, she is also my child, we have known each other since childhood, and it has been many years now." ”

"Ouch, isn't that what people say about childhood sweethearts, two little guesses?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately quipped, "At first, I thought it was Xiao Tang who came over with his girlfriend, but I never thought that there was a little girl like Xiao Du in the police, who looked like Sven and white." ”

"What I said, if the female policemen in our team heard it, it is estimated that your store will be blacklisted!" Tang Hongye also joked with the shopkeeper.

As she spoke, the proprietress also came out of the back kitchen, and when she saw that it was Tang Hongye coming, she greeted him happily, and then twitched the boss's waist with the white towel she was holding in her hand.

"You know you're talking to people here, and you don't even want to bring the menu first! Xiao Tang always comes, no need to ask, isn't it the first time the little girl comes, you don't bring the menu, people know what they want to eat? She said to her wife, but she didn't really wait for him to pick up the menu, but magically took out a book from behind her that looked a little old, there are not many things on it, but almost every one has a picture, so that people who order food can know what their choice looks like most intuitively.

Cuckoo took the menu from the proprietress and thanked her, flipped through it, and didn't know what to choose.

"If you don't know what to choose, I'll recommend one for you this time, I guarantee that it is your favorite food, and we'll find time to come over again after the rest, anyway, there aren't many things here, and you'll taste them all a few more times." Tang Hongye saw that Du Juan was a little undecided, and put forward his own suggestions on the side.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper poked his head out of the back kitchen and pointed at Tang Hongye: "You kid, smash my signboard!" ”

Tang Hongye and the proprietress both laughed, and Du Juan was also infected by the familiarity and closeness between them, and there was no tension like going to a restaurant outside to eat on weekdays, but there was a feeling of going to a relative's house to eat.

"Then this one! Shiitake mushroom chicken noodles are a little lighter than what you usually make, she has a light mouth, and then don't put green onions, she doesn't like to eat that thing. Tang Hongye said to the proprietress, "I'm still the same, don't want anything else, we have other things to do in the afternoon, we have to hurry up and eat." ”

When the proprietress heard what he said, she had a smile on her face, and her eyes were also looking towards the cuckoo, and after Tang Hongye finished speaking, she nodded happily, agreed and turned around to help in the back kitchen.

"I can see that you like this shop, you visit it often, and the owner and the proprietress are so familiar with you." While fiddling with chopsticks, Du Juan sighed, this may be a major feature of Tang Hongye's character, that is, it is very easy to get familiar with others and mingle.

"It's pretty much the same to say, anyway, it's a frequent visit, and it's really familiar." Tang Hongye laughed twice, scratched the back of his head, and replied a little vaguely.

At this time, the proprietress went and returned, holding a stack of boiled side dishes in her hand, putting them on their table, and said to Tang Hongye and Du Juan: "It's rare that Xiao Tang brought a hair boy over, and this side dish will be given to you to eat." ”

The price in the store is not expensive, it is quite affordable, so Du Juan felt embarrassed to accept the gift, Tang Hongye didn't care too much, coupled with the insistence of the proprietress, she thanked and accepted it.

Maybe it was because it was past lunch time, and there were only Tang Hongye and Du Juan as diners in the restaurant, so the proprietress simply pulled a chair and sat down next to it.

"You may not know, we and Xiao Tang are also fate," the proprietress said to Du Juan, "Xiao Tang also came to eat occasionally before, and the two of us saw that he was also familiar, I couldn't call him by name, and I didn't know what he was doing, he wasn't familiar at all, and then one time, Xiao Tang was eating here, and there was a table over there, all of them were the kind of gangsters who were sloppy, and we had to say that there was a wire in our faces, and he broke his mouth, and we had to lose money, or else we would smash our store, and we were honest friends in this life. I haven't encountered that situation before, I was scared stupid at the time, but fortunately, Xiao Tang took action in time, held down those little gangsters, and called the police to let the police from the nearby police station come and take people away, which helped our boss a favor. Later, the police at the police station said that those people were habitual offenders, and they had broken iron filings and thin iron wires hidden in their pockets. ”

"It's just a mistake, it's all a trivial matter, and how long has it been, why do you two remember everything!" Tang Hongye himself almost didn't remember this incident.

"Then how can I not remember, I still remember very clearly, at that time, our small shop was full, there was no empty table, and the people who ate were all young people, no one was too old, and as a result, those little gangsters made trouble, and everyone else was so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads, so Xiao Tang stood up alone," the proprietress praised Tang Hongye, but her eyes were looking at the cuckoo, "So this young man has a good character and a sense of justice!" ”

"That's not abnormal, that's what I'm doing." Although what the proprietress said was true, not exaggerated or fictitious, but it was exaggerated like this, in front of the cuckoo, Tang Hongye was really a little embarrassed, his mouth was modest, and his eyes were secretly aimed at the cuckoo.

Of course, Du Juan could see what kind of meaning the boss lady wanted to convey to herself, she guessed that when Tang Hongye came here to eat in the past, either he was alone, or he was with other male policemen in the team, this may be the first time he brought a female colleague over, so it will cause the boss lady to directly make the most gossip association.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper also came out of the back kitchen, holding two bowls of noodles, a bowl of mixed noodles that looked red and spicy and accompanied by the aroma of pepper and hemp were placed in front of Tang Hongye, and the other bowl of soup noodles that looked refreshing was placed in front of Du Juan.

"Little Donald looks old, the little girl is shredded chicken noodles with mushrooms and mushrooms with less salt and no green onions!" The shopkeeper still remembered Tang Hongye's advice, and then he said to Du Juan, "Childhood sweetheart's hair is good!" Know the roots, and have a good emotional foundation! ”

After finishing speaking, he also deliberately looked at the cuckoo, and then gave Tang Hongye an approving look, turned around and cleaned up in the back kitchen.
