Not long after Aunt Wang left the cake shop, Li Yong chased after her.

Neither of the two of them mentioned the computer, they walked side by side, and when they reached middle age, it seemed that they had long lost their romantic love fate.

Li Yong also learned for the first time today that it is not necessary to have a computer to repair a computer.

Aunt Wang's home is in the next district, and the two of them got on the bus at the bus stop near Shencheng Station, there were many people on the bus, and Li Yong stood next to Aunt Wang, a little confused about the unknown destination.

"I'm not a good cook, you know, at least not as good as you."

Aunt Wang said softly, perhaps because she is still unmarried in middle age and lives alone without restraints, so she doesn't look very old.

She has fair skin, short hair, and when she stands in the carriage, her whole body is straight and looks very temperamental.

She had a small delicate leather bag in her hand and a silver bracelet on her wrist.

It's hard for people to connect with the clerk in the cake shop.

It's not that the clerk in the cake shop is bad, but she has an intellectual beauty all over her body, even if she tells others that she is a teacher or a doctor, someone will definitely believe her.

"It's okay, I'll do it."

"So you mean, you've been the one who's been going to do it all along? No wonder you take the initiative to stir-fry in the store every time, meaning that I don't make it delicious? ”

"I didn't mean that......"

Li Yong's face looked a little embarrassed, he lived alone in Shencheng, and he didn't have any friends at all, he went to and from work every day, and the most time in a day was Aunt Wang in front of him.

Aunt Wang usually calls Li Yong by her name, but Li Yong has never called Aunt Wang for so many years.

He basically talks about things directly, and he doesn't say hello without a salutation.

Even after so many years, Li Yong doesn't even know what Aunt Wang's real name is.

He only remembered that Tang Yu brought Aunt Wang to the cake shop that year, and introduced Li Yong to the woman of the same age in front of him with a smile on his face.

"This is my newly recruited clerk, surnamed Wang."

"This is the pastry chef in this shop, named Li Yong."

"From now on, this shop will be managed and maintained by you."

Since then, they have been working in the three-watch cake shop until now.

Li Yong is because Tang Yu is kind to him, and he is also willing to engage in this work that Tang Yu asked him to start over.

Aunt Wang is because this job is relatively free, there are not too many troubles, even the boss is not in the store, and she can basically be responsible for the big and small matters in the store.

And every year Tang Yu will give her a year-end bonus, which is not a small amount, to thank her for her dedication to the store.

Li Yong is responsible for all the income and expenditure in the cake shop, except for the money for buying the raw materials for making pastries and the money for the ingredients he and Aunt Wang need to spend on daily cooking, and then paying the water and electricity bills, the rest is the income obtained from the operation of the cake shop.

Li Yong hadn't touched a single dollar, he originally wanted to report to Tang Yu every month, but Tang Yu was not very interested in it.

Occasionally, when Tang Yu contacted him, he also talked about his living situation, persuaded him to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and inquired about Tang Yu's current situation by the way.

Up to now, all the income of the cake shop has been kept by Li Yong in a separate bank card, and when Tang Yu says to hand it over, he will hand it over to Tang Yu immediately, and there will be no hesitation.

On the bus, with vegetables in their hands and green onions emerging from the vegetable basket, the old people chatted enthusiastically.

Li Yong put his hand into the pocket of the black coat he was wearing,

"I don't know your name yet."

"Wang Shu."

Aunt Wang replied casually.

"I used to be called Baizhu, but after my parents divorced, my sister and I took my father's surname and my mother's surname, so I changed my name to Wang Shu."

"If I'm not mistaken, Atractylodes should be a medicinal herb."

"Well, it's a pity that the medicine is three points poisonous, otherwise why wouldn't I be able to get married until now."

"How can you not get married, aren't you because you don't want to get married, otherwise how can you not get married."

Li Yong pursed his lips and then added.

"The name Baizhu is very nice."

"Then you can call me Baizhu in the future."

"Okay."

The bus moved forward smoothly, not at a fast speed.

Every time there is a stop, some people get off and some get on.

"Were you really good before, hacker or something, is it that if you just want to, you can make the entire sinking city unavailable."

"Otherwise, why do you think I'd be in jail?"

Li Yong grabbed the armrest and mentioned his talent on the computer, but his face did not show a look of pride, but frowned slightly.

Bai Zhu looked up at Li Yong's unremarkable face, she knew that this man had a calm personality and would never lie.

"It's a pity that you can't fix the computer at home."

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, you don't have a computer at home, how can I fix ......?"

"That's what I'm talking about."

The expression on Baizhu's face was a little playful, and Li Yong hesitated slightly, and then slowly spoke.

"I ...... I know where your home is this time, and I'll help you assemble a computer next time and send it over. ”

"Forget it, your computer skills are so good, the computer you installed will not break down once in ten or eight years, what else do you repair."

"I can make it bad, and it's bad......"

Li Yong tilted his head and muttered, for the first time in so many years, he felt that his craft seemed to be able to play a huge role.

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

The house where Baizhu lives is an old building, on the fifth floor, and there is no elevator.

The steps of the stairs are very narrow, and the heels of one foot are a little dangling, and Li Yong feels a little uncomfortable.

"This is the old house my mother left me, and after my mother died, I lived here alone."

"It's also very good, it reminds me of the No. 8 building in the ethnic community where the little charter company used to be. However, this step is indeed a bit excessive, at least not in the eighth building of the small charter office......"

"It's normal for an old building to have a little flaw."

The two chatted while going upstairs, and Baizhu took out the key to open the door, and then invited Li Yong into the house.

Li Yong changed his shoes at the entrance, so he dared to enter this warm little home.

The area of this house is not large, only sixty or seventy square meters, but it is about the same as Li Yong's current residence.

The house where Li Yong lives was found by Tang Yu, and the rent was also paid by Tang Yu for him, so he can live with confidence.

Later, Li Yong learned that the house was bought by Tang Yu, and he originally wanted to give it to him, but he didn't ask for it.

"I'll pour you tea."

Baizhu asked Li Yong to sit down temporarily on the sofa in the living room, and then walked to the kitchen alone.

Li Yong sat upright on the sofa, his eyes looked around the living room, and soon found a pile of green beer cans next to the sofa.

These are all unopened beers, and since Baizhu lives alone, he prepares so much beer, so he naturally drinks it for himself.

Li Yong waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Baizhu to come back from the kitchen.

Just when Li Yong hesitated to get up and go to the kitchen to take a look, Baizhu came back with a cup of hot water.

"I'm sorry, I've been looking in the kitchen for a long time, and there is no tea at home."

"Hmm...... I can see that you don't drink tea very often......"

Li Yong's eyes fell on the beers next to the sofa, and Baizhu didn't hide it, since it was seen, it didn't matter.

She raised an eyebrow at Li Yong, with a hearty smile on her face.

"Join me for a drink?"

"Do you drink it dry......

"If there is food at home, I'll do it."

"I'll help too."

Li Yong followed Baizhu to the kitchen, but found that Baizhu was familiar with turning on the light function of the range hood.

"Why don't you turn on the kitchen lights?"

"It's broken."

“……”

After all, the light that the range hood can emit is limited, and the sky outside has completely darkened.

The troubles and helplessness of women living alone, Li Yong really felt the tip of the iceberg.

"Got a toolbox?"

"Yes."

For the rest of the day, Li Yong stepped on a chair and reached out to repair the kitchen lamp with tools.

"Be careful."

Baizhu was holding his leg beside him, for fear that he would accidentally fall off the chair.

Fortunately, the ending was good, and when the bright lights filled the entire kitchen again, both Li Yong and Baizhu laughed.

"Tell me if there is such a small thing in the future, and I will help you fix it."

"Okay."

Baizhu has lived alone for many years, and has long had the ability to live independently.

But even so, she couldn't fix the broken lamp on her own.

It's been a while since the kitchen light in her house has been broken, but she forgot because she hadn't cooked and eaten at home for a while.

The teppanyaki chicken rack deli beer is her dinner during this time.

"I asked you to help fix the computer, and you also repaired the broken lamp in my house by the way."

"In the future, if something breaks in your house, call me, I won't be able to learn."

Li Yong said solemnly, Bai Zhu looked at him so seriously that he felt a little helpless for a while.

"There's no reason why a man like you hasn't gotten married yet."

"There's no reason why a woman like you hasn't gotten married yet."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled in the kitchen, and then tacitly began to prepare dinner.

Li Yong borrowed the kitchen of the Baizhu family to simply fry two dishes, because Baizhu has not been cooking at home recently, so the ingredients are limited.

A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a serving of tomato strips.

"It's a good thing I came early, otherwise if I don't eat these tomatoes and eggplants, they will go bad."

At the dining table, two simple dishes, two pairs of bowls are fast, and two middle-aged people sit opposite each other.

"Come on, Snow Beer, the more you drink, the more you drink."

Baizhu was the first to raise the green can in his hand, and then collided with the can in Li Yong's hand.

Today's atractylodes is not the same as the atractylodes in the store.

In the store, she is called Aunt Wang by young customers, and she is gentle and kind, and no one would think that she drinks alone at home all day.

For so many years, Li Yong had never smelled half of the alcohol on Baizhu.

"I knew a girl in Tieba before, she posted a request for computer problems, I gave her an answer, and the two of them became familiar with each other after coming and going, and also added contact information. Later, she heard that I had been in jail and blocked me the next day. ”

During dinner, Li Yong chatted with Baizhu about what had happened recently, and he had a self-deprecating smile on his face, as if the psychological shadow brought to him by those years of imprisonment would last for a lifetime.

Baizhu smiled and listened to Li Yong tell the grievances in his heart, from the day he learned that his parents were divorced, Baizhu didn't believe in the so-called family.

Why do people get married, since divorce will bring everything back to square one, then it's better not to start, Baizhu has always thought so.

They often chat in the shop, after all, the cake shop is the two of them.

They know everything and nothing about each other's lives.

Life can be understood, but emotions cannot be felt.

Li Yong's alcohol consumption was not good, and he hadn't drunk much, and his whole face had become red, like a ripe apple.

On the other hand, Baizhu has not changed much, and her amount of alcohol has long been practiced countless times when she is drunk until dawn.

She knew that Li Yong's knot was that she had been in prison, and she had comforted Li Yong countless times, after all, he was also deceived at the beginning, and he did not kill people and set fires, even if he was in prison, it did not affect the fact that he was a good person.

But some knots in the heart cannot be untied in a few words, Li Yong is like this, and the same is true for Baizhu.

This meal was only two dishes, but the two of them drank all the beer left in Baizhu's house.

"Hey, you said you can't drink it, don't drink so much, I didn't force you to drink it......"

In the bathroom, Li Yong and the toilet were in double rows, holding the toilet and bowing his head and vomiting.

Baizhu gently patted Li Yong's back with his palm, perhaps the grievances and indignation that had been buried in his heart for a long time finally had a chance to vent, Li Yong said a lot and drank a lot of wine today.

Obviously, he is not a man of many words, nor is he a person who drinks well.

After vomiting, Li Yong turned on the faucet on the side and washed his face, looking at himself in the mirror with a vicissitudes of life, he almost couldn't recognize that this was him.

"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape."

"It's fine."

Baizhu rarely has contact with men, and because her parents' divorce has affected her psychological development, she has never even been in a relationship until now.

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll see you in the store tomorrow."

Li Yong was about to leave after speaking, his steps were swaying, and he was even a little unsteady.

Bai Shu helped him change his shoes at the entrance, looking at the embarrassed appearance of this man who had always been taciturn and would only concentrate on making cakes in the store at this time, she also felt a little soft-hearted for a while.

"Why don't you stay at home, you sleep on the sofa, and you will spend the night."

"That's not good, if you let others know that it affects your reputation, how will you marry in the future."

"I'm not married."

Baizhu replied confidently, Li Yong changed his shoes and looked up at her, but smiled at her for no reason.

Li Yong wanted to leave alone, but Bai Zhu saw that he refused to stay, and was afraid that he would fall downstairs alone, so he simply sent him downstairs, preparing to call a taxi on the side of the road to take him home.

It was a cold autumn night, and the street lamps above the two of them glowed with a warm yellow glow.

Baizhu held Li Yong's arm while looking left and right, looking for the figure of the taxi.

"Baizhu, have you ever heard me sing?"

"Nope."

"Then I'll sing it to you now, will you listen to it?"

Baizhu glanced at Li Yong, just as he was drunk, and there was no one on the road at this time, so he could sing if he wanted to.

"Then you sing, be quiet, don't disturb the people."

Li Yong's eyes were red and he looked at Bai Shu beside him, after so many years of getting along day and night, they worked in the store together, ate and chatted together, and before Tang Zhao told him that he should be brave enough to pursue love, he had admired the people around him for a long time.

"If you marry, don't marry someone else, you must marry me......"

Li Yong's voice trembled, he didn't sing well, his intermittent voice was very small, more like he was reading, but Bai Shu, who was standing beside him, could hear it very clearly.

Then Li Yong felt dizzy, his eyes were black, and he fell drunk.

Baizhu supported his body and let him lean on his shoulder head-on.

She suddenly remembered what Tang Yu had said to her before he took her to work in the Sanchang Cake Shop.

"In our shop, the salary is high, the salary is good, and it can help solve personal problems."

At that time, she thought that Tang Yu was joking, but now that she thinks about it......

The autumn nights in the sunken city are lonely and depressed, and there are cars passing by the streets, including taxis of several colors.

Baizhu didn't wave to stop the taxi, even though some taxis would honk their horns to signal to her when they passed by.

Li Yong was full of alcohol, and he was like a man who was serious about making all kinds of pastries in a cake shop.

Even so, Baizhu is willing to be his support for the time being.

Maybe not just temporarily, maybe not just relying on.

"Okay."

A cold breeze mixed with a gentle response reverberated through the streets of the city.
