Chapter 59: What Love Looks Like
Because I knew the story of the boss, I stood in front of this small shop less than 20 square meters away. I don't feel cramped at all, but I feel that this small world is as vast as the boss's life.
I haven't experienced the ups and downs of his life, and I can't empathize.
But from his current indifference, it can be seen that the pain of the past has been scarred and turned into the mark of history and engraved into his calmness.
Maybe he has lost the aura he once had, but there is still light in his heart, and he is still his own hero, the hero of their little family.
When the boss saw us, he greeted us warmly, and then skillfully set up a small table at the door.
Only this time I didn't sit directly in it, but went to the stroller and looked at the familiar baby in the car. A little bit of the boss's charm can already be seen on the chubby little face, and the corners of his mouth are gently pulled, it seems that something good is happening in a dream.
Yaoyao saw that she was coming to see the baby, and she also came over, and when she saw the innocent smile on the child's face, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it. Probably feeling violated, the villain reached out and pulled away Yaoyao's hand, changed his posture and continued his sweet dream.
Yaoyao was mischievous, and gently poked his fleshy little face with her fingers. This time he didn't respond, and continued to sleep.
Yaoyao's prank didn't succeed, so she had to give up stupidly, stood up and hugged my arm and quietly watched the villain sleep. The proprietress also came over at this time, looking at her child with a happy face.
"Now is the time when I can sleep, I go to sleep when I am full every day, and I eat when I wake up."
After speaking, he bent down and pulled the small towel on the child's stomach, and covered the small belly that was exposed when the child just twisted his body.
The movements are gentle and slow, as if taking care of a work of art, and a quiet smile is always on his face. Yaoyao reminded me before that the proprietress is very beautiful, and under such a close observation, it is really like what Yaoyao said.
Although the skin has become a little rough and dull yellow due to the long-term erosion of smoke and fire. But it can still be seen that he once had a good face.
The standard melon seed face, with delicate facial features, can even see a bit of heroism on her face. It is very inconsistent with her busy appearance on the desk every day.
After taking care of the children, the proprietress asked us softly what we wanted to eat, and she gave us a discount.
Since it was a weekend and it wasn't time to eat, there were no customers in the store. When we arrived, they still had the ingredients for today's sale, and they had just sorted them out and put them in the freezer.
I picked some things with Yaoyao and handed them to the boss to cook, and we sat at the door and watched the crowd come and go. There is no anxiety in my heart, no emotion, peace and peace.
Perhaps this is what distinguishes humans from other animals, and we can always draw strength from other people's stories to inspire us to move forward.
Watching the boss and them busy in front of the desk, they were busy with each other and did not forget to make eye contact from time to time, and they were all full of love in each other's eyes.
I finally knew that love can still be like this, with each other, the hand of the beloved son, and the old with the son. Not coming for you at the peak, nor leaving you at the trough, waiting is mutual, and so is companionship.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I obviously feel that today's Malatang is more delicious than usual. It also made me add three more dishes before I had enough of them, and finally had to stop after my stomach warned me.
Yaoyao looked at my round belly and laughed, and then pulled me to go for a walk to digest it. Because after the exam, a big stone in my heart was finally put down, and Yaoyao and I were rarely relaxed.
Truth be told, it's not a good time to take a walk, and while the sun has curtailed its flamboyance and enthusiasm, so does the day-long street.
We hid in the shade of the trees and walked slowly, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, as if we were trying to escape the hot summer season. We didn't seem to feel the anxiety of the people around us, and we still moved slowly.
Whispering about his childhood, telling about his various troubles in growing up, and discussing future plans and directions.
When we returned downstairs after wandering on the road for a few hours, we happened to meet Chen Kun and Li Xiuying holding hands and coming down from the upper floor.
I was still thinking about how to introduce Yaoyao to them, but Yaoyao took the initiative to greet Chen Kun, of course, mainly to apologize to Chen Kun for her friend.
Seeing Chen Kun's face blushing like a monkey's ass and saying, 'It's okay, it's okay', I felt a little funny in my heart.
Li Xiuying was obviously still out of the situation, and she didn't understand what the two of them were talking about for a long time, and looked at the two of them there politely with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that I was standing there and not moving, Yaoyao turned her head sideways and glared at me fiercely, and I stepped forward to introduce them.
"Brother Yuan, this is your girlfriend? It's beautiful. Li Xiuying praised Yaoyao sincerely.
"Thank you, Xiaoyingzi is also very beautiful, it seems that your master has taken good care of you during this time."
I especially accentuated the tone of taking care of Liang'an, and Chen Kun obviously understood the meaning of my words and glanced at me.
Of course, what I praised her was also true, and I usually see her every day at work as if I haven't noticed these changes in her.
Now that she had taken off her baggy overalls and put on her fashion, I realized that the child had grown up in just a few months.
I still remember the first time I saw Li Xiuying in the workshop, she was thin and small, with dull skin and dry and split hair.
Look at her now, she is like two people before. The skin has become plump and shiny, the hair has become much smoother, and the previously shriveled figure has plumped up a lot.
There seems to be a light makeup on her face, which makes her whole person look a little more feminine, and she is no longer the childish look she used to be.
Sure enough, the power of love is really great, in just a few months, this budding little flower bone has completely bloomed.
Li Xiuying's little face was red when I praised her, and she hid behind him while holding Chen Kun's arm, and I was amused again.
Yaoyao didn't expect her to behave like this, and there was a hint of surprise on her face. I shrugged at her, and she regained the smile on her face.
For a while, the four of us were stunned and stood awkwardly for a long time. Seeing that they had just come down from the upper floor, as if they were going out, I broke the deadlock by saying, "Why are you going, you look like you're going out?" ”
The apprentice said she was hungry and was going to take her out for some supper. Have you eaten, do you want to join us? ”
I seem to be a little hungry when he says that. Although I ate a lot of spicy tang in the afternoon, I had been pressing the road with Yaoyao for several hours in a row, and I had already lost my digestion.
I gave Yaoyao an inquiring look, and Yaoyao nodded slightly. It seems that she has also consumed a lot of energy in the past few hours.
Reaching a consensus in an instant, I took the initiative to speak: "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." Last time, I said I was going to invite you to dinner, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. ”
"Let's invite you, it's the first time I've met your girlfriend." After listening to my words, Li Xiuying poked out half of her head from behind Chen Kun and said, and quietly retracted after speaking.
Yaoyao and I looked at each other and smiled again, I was used to seeing it, but Yaoyao felt very novel. Li Xiuying's simple personality is indeed very cute, like a child who has not grown up, simple and kind.
However, I guess Chen Kun should enjoy this feeling of being able to protect his lover.
For Li Xiuying, there is a person who stands in front of him and shields himself from the wind and rain. And she can continue to be that simple and kind child in her world, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Alright, Xiaoyingzi, don't fight with me. Last time, I promised your master that I would invite you to dinner with Yaoyao, but since we met today. It's better to meet by chance, what do you want to eat? Brother Yuan is generous today, you don't have to be polite to me. ”
"Well, I've always heard Xiao Yuan mention you, since I've met you, you're welcome. Xiao Yuan and I invite you to dinner today, and you can invite us again next time you have the opportunity. ”
Yaoyao also came out to help, which made Li Xiuying's face even redder, I don't know why she was so shy today.
I don't seem to have seen her like this when I'm usually with us, why did I see Yaoyao more shy today.
I didn't delve into this question, after all, I had seen how thin her skin was. Yaoyao is here, and I can't tease her anymore.
"What do you want to eat, now should be the time for supper."
I didn't continue to embarrass Li Xiuying, but handed the conversation to Chen Kun. I just looked at the time, a little more than nine o'clock, this time happens to be supper time for Shenzhen people.
Shenzhen's late-night culture is extremely thriving, because Shenzhen is a young immigrant city, and the young people who live here come from all over the world.
They bring life and energy to the city, and along the way, food from all over the country. Hot pot in Sichuan, barbecue in Northeast China, seafood in coastal cities, and so on.
So when other cities have fallen asleep, Shenzhen has started a day of relaxation. Roadside stalls and crowded night markets are dotted around various industrial parks.
It provides a good place for Shenzhen people who have worked hard all day, and also provides an outlet for the emotions suppressed in everyone's hearts.
"We can all do it, you decide."
The most discussable answer in the world is not rejection, but casualness. It seems that there is no desire and no desire, but in fact it is the biggest test of your tacit understanding.
Whatever it means is fine, but it also means that nothing can work. You need to know enough about the other person to know his preferences and dislikes.
Even you have to take into account all the needs of the other person, not only to take care of his needs, but also to take into account his concerns.
On top of that, he doesn't have an option, let alone an answer. He will only give you an attitude after the fact, an attitude of approval or disapproval.
And the truth is, even if the result is a happy one, it's hard to feel the slightest sense of accomplishment. Because all your emotions are consumed in the process of ambiguity.
So when I heard Chen Kun's answer, I almost went crazy on the spot, but I couldn't have a seizure. could only cast a look at Yaoyao for help, Yaoyao's eyes rolled, and then smiled lightly.
Seeing Yaoyao's smile, I knew that I was saved. Sure enough, before my facial features could make a smile, Yaoyao spoke.
"Do you remember the food stall we went to last time? It's the one where the boss is particularly fun. ”
After Yaoyao's reminder, I immediately remembered. On the night after I had been dried by Yaoyao for a month, and I had been hungry for a month, I invited her to the food stall.
When I thought of the shop Yaoyao mentioned, the boss's shrewd face immediately came to mind. Not to mention, it's a good proposition.
I won't give Chen Kun a chance to choose, so I took Yaoyao's hand and left. I scolded Chen Kun angrily, I let you be casual, I'll show you just one today.
Yaoyao saw that I was angry with Chen Kun, so she turned around and whispered to the two of them: "Let's go, let's go to a supper stall where I had dinner with Xiao Yuan last time." Their food is quite delicious, and you should like it. ”
After greeting them, she didn't forget to gently pinch the back of my hand, and when I turned my head to look at her, she gave me a warning look.
I didn't explain anything, and I was still depressed about what happened just now. Luckily, the stall wasn't far away, and within five minutes we were standing in front of the stall.
It's about the same as the last time I came, full of customers and bustling. The boss is smiling through the crowd, constantly greeting guests.
As soon as I saw the four of us standing at the door, the boss greeted us warmly.
"Pretty boy, pretty girl is here, hurry up and come in and sit. Come, come, come, come here, there is still a place here. Four people, yes? Is it okay to sit here? Sit down, I'll get you a fan. ”
It's still welcoming, and it still gives people a very intimate feeling, making you feel like you're not coming to consume, but going home.
As soon as we sat down, the boss turned on a big fan, and then the wiring and adjusting the fan were busy.
After everything was arranged, I took the menu and put it on the table. Then he said to me, "Pretty boy, you two haven't been here for months, have you been busy at work lately?" ”
The boss's words made me stunned, Yaoyao was obviously stunned by the boss's words, the two of us have come here to eat once, and he remembers us?
"Oh, no, I haven't eaten much late-night lately."
"There aren't many self-disciplined young people like you now, no wonder the material is kept so well, it's okay to eat once or twice once in a while for supper."
"I'll ask the master to put less oil in you in a while, so that you don't have to worry about gaining weight."
As soon as the boss's words came out, Yaoyao and I were completely shocked, staring at each other for a long time.
I knew in my heart, I really had to be the boss, and at this moment a warm current surged into my heart. The boss's sincere emotion made me look forward to the next supper.
