"Fang Wei, why did you start smoking again?" a girl in a long white down jacket and jeans walked outside the restaurant.

The boy who was sitting alone at the table in a daze hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand, got up and said, "Yuanbao, why did you come? Is the teacher not allowed to take a vacation? Sit down, it's frozen, right?"

The girl, who was 168 centimeters tall and still looked slender and delicate wrapped in a thick down jacket, pulled out a chair and sat across from the boy.

The girl took off the hood of her down jacket and revealed a rather stunning face, and the face of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old without makeup looked particularly pure and natural.

The girl looked at the boy for a few seconds before saying, "Fang Wei, why have you lost weight again, is it hard to go to college, why do you want to see me today? Are you in a bad mood?"

The boy is about 185 cm tall, sits upright on the chair, takes off his cheap jacket and puts it on the chair next to him, his shoulders are very broad, his body is a little thin, his appearance is medium to upper, between handsome and not handsome, but today the eye sockets are deep, the eye bags are big, and he looks a little decadent.

The boy, who was left-handed, picked up the teapot on the table, poured hot water into the glass in front of the girl, and said, "Warm your hands, are you hungry?" ”

"Boss, 'old three', hurry up. Fang Wei shouted at the shopkeeper.

The chubby proprietress in her forties behind the counter immediately responded: "Okay, go back to the pot with meat, sour and hot shredded potatoes, tomato and egg soup, it will be good immediately." ”

This small mom-and-pop restaurant has been open near the Polytechnic for more than 10 years, although the owner and chef are average, but it is clean and cheap, and the students like to patronize it, and Fang Wei is also a regular customer of this restaurant.

"The old three" is a combination of dishes named by Fang Wei himself, and he is only willing to order it when he eats with Yuan Bao, and he usually eats by himself with a "choose one vegetarian + rice" five-yuan full package.

Yuan Bao stretched out his slender fingers to hold the glass to keep warm, and asked like a cannon in his mouth: "Fang Wei, is your school already on vacation? It's so comfortable to go to college! How are you going to spend the winter vacation? I'm miserable, I have to make up for classes, and I don't rest until the twenty-ninth of the Lunar New Year, and I'm so annoyed." ”

Fang Wei took a sip of the water cup and said, "Cherish the good times of your last half year of high school, you will be an adult when you go to college, and the adult world is very boring." ”

Yuan Bao found that Fang Wei's mood was indeed wrong, and asked with concern: "Fang Wei, what's wrong with you today? You can usually say it! Something happened, tell me quickly, don't let me worry!"

Fang Wei shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't worry about it." In the first semester, I was excellent in 12 courses, and the counselor assigned a social practice report, and I didn't think about what to practice for a while, so I might go to find a temporary job to experience the warmth and coldness of the world. ”

Yuan Bao keenly discovered the problem, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to grab Fang Wei's left hand and said, "Fang Wei, is there something going on at home? Why do you want to go to work, does Uncle Sun agree?"

Fang Wei smiled faintly and said, "Yuanbao, you seem to have forgotten my birthday." ”

Yuan Bao pouted and said: "Of course I remember, December 31st!

I didn't come to celebrate your birthday, are you angry? I skipped class today to make up for your birthday, are you happy? Look, I brought you all the gifts. ”

Yuan Bao took out a paper bag from his down jacket and handed it to Fang Wei and said, "Fang Wei, happy birthday! ”

Fang Wei took the paper bag with some emotion, he and Yuan Bao grew up together, and their relationship was very good, so he took the gift and opened it directly, and the paper bag turned out to be a watch.

"Seagull M186SP! Ingot Treasure, you are amazing! How do you know I like this brand. Fang Wei's spirits were lifted, and he took the watch and looked at it seriously.

Yuan Bao's little face bloomed with a smile and said, "Moved! Miss Ben doesn't know you yet, if you buy a foreign brand, you will say that I am not patriotic, and you will not accept too expensive gifts." So the week before New Year's Day, I used the only two hours of free time I had a week to pick out a gift for you, and I was happy, right?"

"How much does this watch cost?" Fang Wei couldn't put it down, but still asked something very unemotionally unintelligent.

Yuan Bao said proudly: "The mall special, 999 yuan, not exceeding the standard, right? There is also an invoice in the bag, and it is my own New Year's money, not a penny of my parents, now you can rest assured, right? Quickly replace the 35 yuan quartz watch in your hand for me." ”

Fang Wei hesitated for a long time before taking off the quartz watch he had bought from the stall in the underground passage and had been wearing it for two years, put on the new watch, and immediately felt that his entire arm was taller.

"Yo, how about the little couple showing affection again? Quickly move the things, and Auntie will serve you food." ”

The proprietress walked up to their table at some point, and seeing that the relationship between the two was so good, she couldn't help but joke.

Fang Wei and Yuan Bao's faces immediately turned red, and Fang Wei hurriedly received the old watch into the box, stuffed the box into a paper bag, and vacated the tabletop.

Because the Institute of Science and Technology has been on holiday, the business of the restaurant has been much lighter these days, and the speed of serving food is much faster than usual.

The proprietress put down two dishes, one soup and two bowls of rice, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't bother, you eat slowly." ”

Fang Wei and Yuan Bao hurriedly thanked him.

Fang Wei wanted to take off his watch to eat, but Yuan Bao was unhappy: "No, wear it to eat, this is a fully automatic mechanical watch with automatic winding, you can only wind it during the day, otherwise it will stop, if it stops, I will be very sad." ”

Fang Wei never argued with Yuan Bao, and said, "Okay, well, then eat quickly, do you want to go back before the end of the evening self-study?"

"Well, I asked the head teacher for a while and said that I was uncomfortable, and if I didn't rush back, the head teacher would call my house, and then it would all be exposed. ”

"Then let's eat it, let's get a piece of back to the pot. Fang Wei deliberately picked a piece of fat and half meat and put it in Yuan Bao's bowl.

Yuan Bao smiled and picked up the meat slices and put them in her mouth, if her parents and classmates saw her like this, they would be surprised, Yuan Bao never ate fatty meat at home or with friends, and it was unimaginable to eat back to the pot like this.

"Too much rice, divide you in half. After Yuan Bao finished eating the meat, he was going to give the rice in the bowl to Fang Wei.

Fang Wei waited for a long time, he was already hungry, and he didn't want to stop when he started, so he said casually: "You eat first, and I'll eat the rest." ”

"Hmm!"

Yuan Bao is very happy, she is in her third year of high school this year, she has almost no free time, and she can only see Fang Wei once in more than a month, but Fang Wei and her are still close, and it seems that she is not blinded by the flowers and plants of the Institute of Technology.

The two chatted, Fang Wei told Yuan Bao interesting things in college, Yuan Bao told Fang Wei how he killed all sides in the third year of high school, and his grades improved by one hundred and fifty places in half a year, and he is now ranked in the top 30 in the whole grade.

After eating a meal for a long time during the chat, the two of them seemed to have endless words, Yuan Bao left half a bowl of rice to Fang Wei, and Fang Wei took it and quickly sent the vegetable soup and tomato and egg soup into his stomach.

Yuan Bao smiled and watched Fang Wei wipe out all the dishes and rice on the table, and Fang Wei, who was thrifty and able to eat, always made her feel real and down-to-earth.

Fang Wei was finally full, he was in a bad mood at noon and didn't eat, he picked up the teacup and prepared to use the tea to make a sew, which was a perfect dinner.

Yuan Bao suddenly asked, "Is Uncle Sun gone?"

Fang Weishou paused: "Well, I spent my birthday with me, and I left early on New Year's Day, and I only found out after I woke up." ”

"Are you blaming him?"

Fang Wei drank all the tea in the cup and said, "No, we both drank too much that night, and he talked to me a lot.

In fact, it was not easy for him, for a promise to my parents back then, he raised me alone for ten years, he is a good person, I am not qualified to ask him for anything. ”

Yuan Bao looked at Fang Wei with appreciation: "Didn't he leave you anything?"

"An old house of 33 square meters, 30,000 yuan in deposit. Fang Wei didn't really want to continue the conversation.

Yuan Bao asked softly: "Isn't there enough money to spend? So you have to work during the winter vacation?"

Fang Wei nodded, shook his head again, and said, "30,000 yuan plus the annual scholarship saves a little money, which is enough until graduation." Uncle Sun has a big business to do, he needs money very much, everything that can be sold at home has been sold, and I am also surprised that he can leave me so much money. ”

Yuan Bao bit his lip and said, "Fang Wei, since you want to work, why don't you go to my mother's company for an internship......

Fang Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, Yuanbao, it's not too early, I'll send you back to school, you don't have to worry about the part-time job, I'll take care of it myself." ”

Fang Wei got up and went to the counter to settle the bill, Yuan Bao helped him carry the watch box, and the two went out.

The proprietress looked at Fang Wei's back and shouted into the kitchen: "Lao Zhang, Xiao Sun is really gone, just leave Fang Wei's child here alone?"

A somewhat short and fat cook came out of the back kitchen, and said while wiping his hands on his apron: "Xiao Sun is already very righteous, people in their 20s haven't looked for a partner for ten years, and they have pulled Fang Wei up by themselves, can someone else do this? Now there are not many such good people." ”

The proprietress sighed: "Alas, Xiao Sun is a good person, and Fang Wei's child is not bad, but his life is too hard." ”
