Chapter 74: Time passes, and the old people are reunited
Rustling.
The tiptoes gently rolled over the fallen leaves piled up at the mouth of the alley, and the sound was crisp.
With a few wisps of cool breeze wafting from the depths of the alley, it gives people the illusion of being in the colorful autumn day.
This.....
Oh, yes.
It's the beginning of autumn now.
After a long time, I didn't even notice it.
Shen Mo murmured softly, brushed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and stood quietly in front of Han Meng.
"What?"
When old lovers meet, it is a matter of things and people after all.
The years crushed them, but in an amazing way, the two were reunited.....
"No why, it's something I owe you."
Looking at his eyes as deep as yesterday, Han Meng smiled, his eyebrows and eyes looked as if they were many years ago, pure and immature.
It's like the first delicious flower blooming in the morning in the sun.
Looking at her face, Shen Mo was stunned.
This pure white smile.
It can still appear on her face....
It really made Shen Mo feel like a dream!
"Don't be stupid, it's cold at night, go in, eat a bowl of noodles with me."
Han Meng stepped forward and took Shen Mo's hand, the smile on his face seemed to be a little apologetic, "Don't mind, right?" ”
Her brow was full of inquiry.
"Let's go."
Shen Mo looked at her big transparent and clear eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse, but in front of her was Lin Youwei's appearance.
The two walked side by side into this nameless small noodle restaurant located in the deepest part of the alleyway.
Handsome men and beautiful women, as soon as they enter the door, they attract the attention of many customers.
The man's gaze fell on Han Meng, who had a stunning face, and the woman.... It was the root of his ear that looked at Shen Mo with a slight redden.
Now is the era of small fresh meat and traffic stars....
A handsome and tough man like Shen Mo is really rare.
His eyebrows were as sharp as a blade, and his eyes were deep and clear, like countless stars in them.... The knife-sharpened axe-like lines and the sturdy muscles in the shape of an inverted triangle in the chest all exude a unique masculine charm.
Tough and steady, this is Shen Mo's first impression on them.
And Han Meng, who was standing aside holding his hand, was like a fairy who had just descended to the world, so amazing and detached from the world.
Such a pair of talented and beautiful women, should be very affectionate?
If you have to use one word to describe it, it is naturally envious of others....
"Handsome guy and beautiful woman, come, come and sit here."
A thin little girl stared at the two of them blankly for a long time, and then she came back to her senses, felt numb and pulled out the chair, beckoning Shen Mo and Han Meng to sit down.
Perhaps because she felt that the gap in her appearance was too big, the little girl still spoke with a trill, and the nervousness she tried to hide was all revealed.
"Hmm."
Han Meng agreed softly and sat down with Shen Mo.
This noodle restaurant....
They ate for years.
When I was a student, two little dolls from a remote mountain village were always shy in their pockets, and it was a luxury to be able to eat a bowl of hot noodles.
If you can also spread a few slices of chicken, duck and beef on top of the noodles, the taste will be ..... It seems to be able to wash away the bitterness that has been suffered for a long time in the following life.
"What do you eat?"
After being silent for a long time, seeing that Han Meng was just distracted and sat there in a daze, Shen Mo asked softly.
"I'll have some."
Coming back to his senses from the flying thoughts, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Han Meng's mouth, and he beckoned gently to the little girl who was serving, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles, one bowl without chopped green onions, add more sesame oil, and one bowl without sesame seeds..."
The little girl seemed to be too nervous, so she only whispered a word, and ran into the back kitchen with a blushing face.
"This little girl is familiar."
While waiting, the two were silent for a long time, and Shen Mo just looked at the corners of the little girl's face from a distance, and sighed.
At this moment, the owner of the small shop and the little girl opened the kitchen curtain, and one of them walked up to the two of them with a bowl of noodles.
Gently put it down.
There was a burst of exclamations.
"Shen boy?? Miss Han???? ”
The boss in the apron is middle-aged, and his rough voice and dark palms give people the illusion of working hard to make a living.
This is not the case.
Since Shen Mo and Han Meng met, the man has been staying in this small shop.
It's just that for some reason, I don't see the kind-faced woman who always follows him?
"Uncle Liu! Long time no see. ”
Shen Mo raised his head and stretched out his hand, his face was filled with a warm smile, and his eyes fell on the little girl who was shy and hiding behind the man.
"I miss you!"
Uncle Liu smiled loudly and held Shen Mo's hand tightly, "The last time you came to my small noodle restaurant, it must have been six or seven years, right?" ”
"Yes, there must be!"
Shen Mo chuckled.
"Is there good news, come back to inform the old man of my trip? Wedding dresses are all on! When are you going to get married? Old man, I have seen so many loving and loving young couples, but I have never met someone like you who can love for so many years! It's really impressive! ”
Uncle Liu's eyes fell on Han Meng on the side, and he kept smiling, and his face was a little relieved.
Even he didn't notice it for a moment.
The nameless joy that leaped from the bottom of my heart.
Yes.
I have seen two little guys grow up since I was a child, and today, I am finally going to enter the palace of marriage, although only as a bystander, but I will also bless from the bottom of my heart.
Han Meng and Shen Mo glanced at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.
They....
They were married eight years ago.
To this day, two marriages and two divorces.....
Seeing that neither of them answered, Uncle Liu was only reserved as a young man, a little embarrassed, pulled a chair and sat on the side, and sighed with emotion, "Uncle Liu is old, pulling this little girl, being a father and a mother, and she can't be busy cooking noodles." ”
"This noodle shop won't open from tomorrow."
"You're really picky."
Pulling over the little girl hiding behind him, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, forgot?" This is Brother Shen, this is Sister Han, they hugged you when you were a child, and they also changed your diaper! ”
As soon as she said this, the little girl's face turned red from head to toe, and she covered her head and ran upstairs.
"This Nizi, it's really rude!"
Uncle Liu said to Shen Mo and Han Meng.
"Where, where, it's cute and sensible."
Shen Mo's expression moved slightly.
Being a father and a mom again?
The gentle woman beside Uncle Liu..... Isn't it quietly around anymore?
As if seeing Shen Mo's thoughts, Uncle Liu sighed, took out two cigarettes from his arms, handed one to Shen Mo, and put the other in his mouth.
"My mother-in-law was sick and left the year before last."
The old man is reunited, but his wife is no longer there.... It really made Uncle Liu feel sad.
took the initiative to explain the reason why she was not around, and it seemed that it was to prevent Shen Mo and Han Meng from doubting their feelings for his wife.
This sentence caught Shen Mo and Han Meng off guard.
A little emotion welled up in my heart.
It's only to blame God for having no eyes, so that lovers are separated, and yin and yang are separated....
Gently patted Uncle Liu's shoulder, Shen Mo didn't know what words to use to comfort him for a while.
"It's all over, people, always have to look forward, now I see you so loving, finally cultivated to a positive fruit, old man I, envy in my heart, in short, a thousand words into a sentence, I wish you happiness, grow old together...."
Uncle Liu finished smoking a cigarette in a few puffs, with a smile of relief and relief on his face, got up and went upstairs, turned back after a while, took out a crumpled red envelope from his arms, and handed it over.
"Uncle Liu, this can't be helped...."
Shen Mo and Han Meng waved their hands again and again.
First, people earn hard-earned money.
Second, they're just getting divorced.... How can you be embarrassed to accept money?
"If you can't do it, you have to do it! This is what your Aunt Liu confessed! You can't chill the deceased, right? ”
Uncle Liu lowered his face, his face full of unhappiness, "It's just a little heart, not much money, if you don't accept it, I'll be angry." ”
Shen Mo and Han Meng glanced at each other, wanting to explain their current situation, but they were stuck in their throats and didn't know how to speak.
After being silent for a long time, Han Mengcai took the bright red with some embarrassment, "Then we'll .... Thank you, Uncle Liu. ”
"That's right."
Uncle Liu smiled instantly, pointed to the two bowls of noodles on the table and said, "Eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold, and it's just right to taste whether your Uncle Liu's craftsmanship has improved or regressed." ”
Shen Mo pinched his chopsticks, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, then gave a thumbs up, "I can't move just by smelling this smell." ”
"Don't be a sycophant! Ha ha! Eat it, I won't bother you, there are still a few bowls of noodles to make. ”
The smile on Uncle Liu's face bloomed like a flower, and he stood up and walked into the back kitchen.
Shen Mo and Han Meng looked at each other and smiled, and began to taste the hot noodles on the table.
"You remember I don't eat chopped green onions."
A few minutes later, the noodles in the bowls of the two of them were at the bottom, and Shen Mo looked at Han Meng on the side with a sigh of emotion.
"I've thought a lot about it in the past two days, I used to be sorry for you, I didn't take care of your feelings, I was too selfish."
Han Meng's expression was a little sad, and his voice began to become a little hoarse, like a fish in his throat, as if he was a little difficult to speak.
"Let's go out and talk."
Shen Mo got up, took the initiative to take Han Meng's hand, and said hello to Uncle Liu in the back kitchen.
After saying goodbye, the two walked side by side under the dim street lamp in the alley.
"I'm sorry."
Stepping on the layers of fallen leaves on the street on his toes, Han Meng suddenly stood up, as if he had done something very wrong, and he didn't even dare to look directly into Shen Mo's eyes,
"Once upon a time..... I always feel like a princess who should be held in the palm of everyone's hands, I indulge, I am arrogant, for money, for fame, for status, I do whatever it takes, and I never consider your feelings. ”
"As a wife, I have not borne children for you, but only to enjoy your lowly favoritism, and you have never murdered me, nor have you ever blamed me.... I started to get unscrupulous. ”
"Because I know that no matter what I do wrong, you will unconditionally protect me and support me."
"But now..... I really don't know why I'm where I am today. ”
This sentence made Shen Mo a little moved.
Can....
With Han Meng's character, could this just be a trap for her gentleness?
She was at her wit's end.
The huge debt she was carrying was destined to have a difficult time in the second half of her life.
In order to make a living, he stumbled and turned.
Perhaps, now she is just her last straw.....
All you did tonight was just begging for your help?
