In the old steel mill dormitory at dusk, the snack street has lost the hustle and bustle of the past.

In the familiar warm light, the gray-white concrete road looked particularly empty.

The places on both sides of the road where snack carts and tents had been placed were empty, leaving only a shiny ground that had been the result of years of oil soaking and footsteps.

Many people who came to forage for food stood at the intersection, looked at this lifeless snack street, cursed a few words in their mouths, raised their steps in disappointment, and walked back into the sunset.

Xia Yuanmei, Xia Buhe's mother and daughter and Xiao Yu got off the bus, Xia Yuanmei stretched her body and glanced at Xiao Yu coldly: "It's more comfortable to take the bus than to take your sports car......"

Xiao Yu grinned and said, "It's true, I also feel uncomfortable sitting in that car, I'll change to a car with a lot of space next time to pick you up......"

Xia Buhe pouted at Xiao Yu, and said helplessly: "Mom, I'm all recovered now, and Xiao Yu protects me, you don't have to worry about it......"

"Who said I was worried about you, you are now capable, and you don't need me to worry." Xia Yuanmei snorted coldly, "Besides, the house you rent is small and messy, and I don't want to stay yet." ”

Xia Yuanmei deliberately glanced at Xiao Yu when she said that it was small and chaotic, and the subtext seemed to say: "You kid is not short of money, and you let my daughter live in this kind of place." ”

Xiao Yu just gritted his teeth and smirked, he usually played treasures and behaved well, and he became extremely honest in front of his mother-in-law.

Xia Buhe was a little puzzled: "Then why do you have to come today?" ”

"I'm worried about the barbecue restaurant downstairs, if it weren't for my gluttony, I wouldn't want to go all the way with you to make such a trip." Xia Yuanmei waved her hand, "The chickens raised in my yard are inseparable, I came to you for a barbecue tonight, and I will go back tomorrow morning ......"

Xia Buhe was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he came back to his senses: When did this old lady get hungry for barbecue?

After thinking about it, since she was a child, Xia Yuanmei has not been too demanding of herself, and it doesn't matter if her grades are good or not; It doesn't matter what kind of boyfriend you find; It doesn't matter what class you take or how much you earn......

The only thing she told herself was to eat well.

Thinking about it this way, it's not so strange that my mother, who is obsessed with eating, would go so far to eat a barbecue.

Xia Yuanmei looked up at the newly renovated commercial plaza, and then looked at the already empty snack street across the road, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and asked suspiciously: "The last time I came here, it was quite lively, there was a lot of food and drink, why are you so deserted today?" ”

Xia Buhe sighed, crossed the road by Xia Yuanmei's arm, and told Xia Yuanmei a series of reasons for the opening of Shiyue Plaza and the rectification of the snack stalls.

Xia Yuanmei's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this.

"What's wrong?" Shabhe noticed her expression.

"The snacks have moved away, but what about the barbecue restaurant I ate at last time?"

"That barbecue restaurant ......" Xia Buhe rolled his eyes, and then remembered that it was the one where Zuo You fought that night, and said hesitantly, "That house seems to be decorating a few days ago...... I don't know if it's ...... renovated."

Xiao Yu, who was walking behind, suddenly interjected: "Don't worry, that barbecue restaurant will open today~~"

Xia Buhe opened his mouth, not understanding where Xiao Yu's confident confidence came from. That night, the owner of the barbecue restaurant was also threatened by Heiba to transfer the store, and if he opened his business in this limelight, I am afraid that he would also cause some unnecessary trouble......

So...... Why did he answer so confidently?

Xia Buhe turned his head and cast Xiao Yu a puzzled look with his big dripping eyes.

Xiao Yu once again showed his trademark evil smile, snapped his fingers on the tip of his right finger, and a steaming skewer appeared in his hand.

With another shake of his right hand, the skewers turned into a folding fan again.

Then the two hands are closed, and the palms of the two hands are empty.

Looking at Xiao Yude's expression, Xia Buhe read a sentence from his mouth: I am a magician......

Xia Buhe was speechless for a while, could it be that Xiao Yu knew in advance that his mother was coming to eat barbecue, and said hello to the owner of the barbecue restaurant?

This thought was only fleeting, and it was denied by Shabhe.

Because he wasn't sure when he would wake up, and because he woke up and had lunch and then rushed back to the city together, he didn't have the time to arrange the barbecue in advance.

But his enigmatic confident smile seemed to have full certainty.

The three of them walked through the empty street and came to the barbecue restaurant that Xia Yuanmei had been thinking about.

Sure enough, the door was locked.

It's just that the roller shutter door with a big hole has been replaced with two glass sliding doors at some point, and it looks taller.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the sliding door is locked and not at all like it is ready to open for business.

"It's not dark yet, and it's not time to eat barbecue, so let's come back later." Xiao Yu was still smiling, smiling heartily.

Xiao Yu proposed to go to the opposite Shiyue Square first, and buy some things for her mother-in-law by the way.

Xia Buhe thought about it, he really hadn't bought much for his mother over the years. Watching the wrinkles on her face gradually crawl over, my heart felt inexplicably sour.

Shabhe has seen photos of her mother when she was young: she used to be a young and beautiful girl, and she would also put on makeup, pose confidently, and bravely show off her beauty.

But since she went to school, her mother stopped wearing makeup, and she didn't care about the extra gray hairs on her head. That love for beauty has also changed to worry about children, worrying about whether I was bullied by my classmates at school, and worrying about whether I had enough to eat at every meal......

After going to college, when she went home during the holidays, Xia Buhe brought home several lipsticks of different colors, and Xia Yuanmei rarely ignited her passion for beauty again, and tried each one.

Seeing that she liked it, Xia Buhe bought several more online and gave them to her, but was scolded for it.

In the end, Xia Yuanmei only chose the most positive red one to stay.

Xia Buhe saw that after his mother applied this lipstick, the effect was very good, so he tried it himself, but it was still not as natural as Xia Yuanmei's application.

Later, she learned that her mother would only put on lipstick on her upper and lower lips and slowly open it.

She felt that this was her mother's unique makeup technique, but Xia Yuanmei used this technique purely to save.

Xia Buhe was in a trance, and Xia Yuanmei decisively rejected this proposal: "I'm an old lady in the countryside, just grow some vegetables and feed some chickens every day, I don't need to buy anything, I won't go!" ”

"Anyway, it's Xiao Yu's money......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized the problem: that backpack! There is a bank card given by Xiao Yu, as well as a mobile phone and office information!
