Chapter 518: Eating Noodles, Telephone, and Ringtones with Love
In an alley next to the Xuanwu Hotel in Nanjing, there is a noodle restaurant where the noodles are delicious. After the third child left, I often ate noodles there alone. The boss is a middle-aged man, he looks dirty, and the things in the shop don't look clean, but the taste of the noodles is absolutely authentic, I don't know what others say, anyway, I feel very delicious. I discovered this noodle shop one morning, and after the third child left, I went to the noodle shop almost once a day, and met the owner a few days later. But it's just a general acquaintance, not an acquaintance. Eight yuan per noodle, the boss never asked for much, and never asked for a lot.
One night I was a little hungry, so I could have asked the waiter at the Xuanwu restaurant to get me something to eat. But as soon as the inspiration turned, I came to the alley, sat on the small table and chair in front of the noodle restaurant, and ordered a bone soup noodle soup. Eating noodle soup and drinking hot soup, the middle-aged man sat behind the cramped back kitchen, with a cigarette in his mouth, and he couldn't see the expression on his face. I waited until I finished eating, and the middle-aged man came to get the money, and neither of us said a word.
The middle-aged man's hands were all covered in sludge, and he looked a little dirty and unappetizing. I gave eight dollars, and the man took it and gave me two.
I hesitated, and I didn't understand what I was doing. Suddenly, there was a sentence: "Hao Ren! ”
The middle-aged man looked back at me, with a calm look in his eyes, and said calmly: "Old soup." ”
After a few simple sentences, I nodded and turned back. Lao Tang also closed his doors and went home to sleep. During my days in Nanjing, most of my days were spent in boredom, but fortunately, there are many places to play in Nanjing, so I am not bored. I often feel hungry at night, and no matter how late it is, Lao Tong's noodle shop is always open. Once, at two o'clock in the morning, I felt hungry, and when I went into the alley, I saw that the old soup was still there.
After eating his bowl of noodles, the old soup closed.
After the habit is formed, if you don't eat something at night, you will feel that there is something missing in your stomach. And no matter what you eat, it's not as comfortable as the noodle soup in the old soup. Later, I simply went to Lao Tang's noodle restaurant at one o'clock every night to eat, and then went back to sleep after eating a bowl of noodles. After coming to Nanjing for a few days, a few taels of fat grew up.
To tell the truth, I really deserve to be cautious in Nanjing after the third child left. After all, there is a precedent, if Gu Ran really breaks the net with me, as Lan Renyi said, I am really likely to be defeated. Fortunately, the Xuanwu Hotel is relatively safe, so I stay in the Xuanwu Hotel all day to work. Occasionally, I will go to the Xuanwu Lake on the side to take a look and think carefully about Nanjing's feng shui life.
I don't believe in Feng Shui, but I do.
Maybe this has a lot to do with Sun Xiaoqing's departure, but I believe that some things are indeed as God said, don't force them.
There are a lot of things that I need to deal with now, and the situation in Shanghai needs me to deal with even though it is in Nanjing, and they have to contact me as well. So most of my days in Nanjing were very busy. Some of the meetings that require me to attend, I also attend by video. Now the red head task of the summer group is to eat the big cake made by Jinjiang, which is not easy, but in fact, it is not difficult to go there. Decomposed and reorganized, with Wu Xinyu here, everything is in order.
Every day, I have to deal with official business until late, and then I will go to eat a bowl of bone soup noodles with old soup. That night, I came to the front of Lao Tang's noodle shop, but found that Lao Tang had not opened the door, and when I knocked on the door, there was no sound from inside. I was a little disappointed, and I thought that I guess the old soup was in trouble, so I simply didn't eat it and went back to sleep in bed. The next night, after I was done, I went to the front of Lao Tang's noodle shop, and I still couldn't see anyone.
Day 3!
When I arrived at Lao Tang's noodle shop, I found a scorching fire burning and the fragrance wafting around. In front of the old noodle soup restaurant is a table, three maza. There was a roasted whole sheep on the stove that was flowing with oil, and Lao Tang was holding cumin in his hand, and when he saw me coming, he said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Hao is here, sit!" I'll give you something delicious today. ”
I sat down familiarly and wanted to ask something. Lao Tang said, "Today, I only eat, I don't speak." ”
I won't say much, sit down and serve me a roast leg of lamb. Eating a fragrant leg of lamb, I had time to speak. Old Tang took out two cases of beer from the noodle shop, put them on the table and threw me a can. Drinking beer and eating lamb shanks is very good. Some time ago, I couldn't drink wine and eat meat because of an injury, and I have a bad appetite these days, and I have a roast leg of lamb to eat tonight, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach are calling! Lao Tang had been busy roasting the sheep, I looked at the two little Mazha in front of me, and asked with a smile, "There are others at night!" ”
Lao Tang nodded, put a cigarette in his mouth and said, "My brother." ”
I continued to eat the leg of lamb, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Old soup, you don't know the surname soup!" ”
"No surname." Lao Tang said it simply and straightforwardly.
……
Friends become enemies, more dangerous than enemies. But once an enemy becomes a friend, he is more reliable than a friend.
I ate half a roasted whole sheep from the old soup and drank half a bowl of noodle soup. Step by step, I returned to the Xuanwu Hotel, lay on the wide bed, looked up at the lampshade that emitted yellow light on the ceiling, and felt dizzy in front of my eyes. Maybe it was a bit too much beer, but it was good enough tonight. Sleep until the next morning, enjoying the sunshine of Nanjing. I felt a little tired, so I went for a run near Xuanwu Park, ran around the park for three or four laps, and my body was a little sweaty and energetic.
Since I went to Shanghai, I have rarely lived outside for such a long time.
Except for the last trip around the world and being forced to take drugs. Sucking in the air of Nanjing, I feel that the environment here is only a little better than Shanghai. Truth be told, the best air is in the Mediterranean, where there is a lot of rain, good sunshine and good air. Cities like Nanjing and Shanghai, which are almost surrounded by industrial centers, how can the air be good.
However, it is precisely because of these industrial centers that the economy has been able to take off so much in recent years. It's a little sad in the morning, these things are not something I can think about, I'm really a little bit of a pain. On the way back, I saw a little young woman holding a child, the young woman was very beautiful, and she looked at it twice and was in a happy mood. Today seems to be in a good mood all the time, and it is more convenient to work in the hotel.
In the afternoon, Ma Xiaodan called me for the first time and talked to me about her in Chongqing, and after I told her something, Ma Xiaodan smiled. After chatting about the current situation, Ma Xiaodan asked me with a smile: "How are you doing, I heard that you were injured in Nanjing." ”
I smiled and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal." ”
I asked Ma Xiaodan what he was doing in Chongqing, and Ma Xiaodan briefly said. She works in a company in Chongqing, just an ordinary white-collar worker. Although Ma Xiaodan said it very easily, I knew that her life was not easy. She has no academic qualifications, and her work experience is so ordinary, she has been in my family for two or three years, although she is very good at housework, but what is the use of applying for a job. At the end of the day, she lacks work experience.
Of course, then again. Ma Xiaodan has traveled south and north for so many years, and he has eaten more salt than I have ever eaten. Naturally, she won't suffer herself, and when you listen to her tone, you can know that Lu Dao is really not there. I asked Ma Xiaodan what he thought in the future, and Ma Xiaodan said with a smile: "Leisurely, take one step at a time, and see one step at a time, the plan can't catch up with the changes." ”
I thought to myself, too.
I talked to Ma Xiaodan for forty minutes, and when I put away the phone, I had a smile on my face, and I didn't know what to say.
Looking at the Xuanwu Lake in the distance, he sighed heavily.
Somewhat inexplicable.
Go for a swim in the pool below the hotel and take a fifty-minute dip in the water. Soak in the nearby hot tub for ten minutes before putting on your pajamas and heading upstairs. As soon as I was lying in bed, I heard the phone ringing on the table. I walked up to pick up my phone, only to find three unread notifications on my phone. When I clicked on it, I was shocked in place, a little panicked, a little flustered, and a little dazed. Of course, there was still a little touch in it, with tears in my eyes.
The three unread notices were all Xia Wanyu's.
Xia Wanyu!
A few months later, Xia Wanyu contacted me for the first time.
I don't know what to do.
I went down to swim just now and didn't bring my phone with me. And now looking at the unread notifications on my phone, I stand there and choke up. To be honest, these days, I have been thinking about Xia Wanyu, and even more about Zhang Ling. Although I can learn about Xia Wanyu from Wang Yingli, but now that I really see Xia Wanyu's phone, I don't know what to do. To be honest, I panicked.
In fact, when I had a car accident, the first thing I thought of was Xia Wanyu.
But I know that Xia Wanyu is outside Chongyang, and I can't contact her to make her worry about me. I have to learn to be strong and independent.
But now, when I see Xia Wanyu's avatar again.
I don't know what to do.
Zhang Ling, Xia Wanyu, Wang Yingli. All three women are equally important to me. But after all, there is a first come, first come, among them, Xia Wanyu's impression on me has helped me the most indelible, and Wang Yingli's selflessness will make me unforgettable for life. And when I think of Zhang Ling, I look down at the Patek Philippe that I have worn on my wrist for many years.
Just as important, just as loving.
Despite the severity, I know that I can't live without any of them.
Men are all distracted, and I admit that I am a bit of a non-sensitive.
But in fact, a man with a heart will not be so sad, and a man with heavy feelings will be sad.
In fact, the heart and the heavy feelings are just around the corner.
Looking at the notification on the screen, I lit a cigarette and sat in my chair and smoked a little hurriedly. A cigarette that usually takes five minutes to smoke is burned out in three or two puffs, and surrounded by smoke in front of me, I breathed a long sigh of relief and exhaled a puff of smoke rings. Click on the address book on your phone and click on Xia Wanyu's number.
The phone rang, and a very refreshing song of "Insects Fly" came.
It turned out that Xia Wanyu's ringtones also became this children's rhyme.
Very loving, I hope to listen to this children's song -
PS: There is no Internet at home these days, and I am under the age of 18 when I go to an Internet café to surf the Internet. The manuscripts are all sent by others, and they are extremely hard. I can't get some information back from the book review area and the website, and I can't afford to hurt it. Fortunately, the network will be able to get it done in two or three days, thank you. Also thank Gu Ran and Mesline, write more manuscripts and stable updates, good!
