The sky was gloomy and gloomy, and the dark clouds in the sky were white without a single gap, and the whole sky was dark blue.

"Dut...... Honk...... ......The train gradually moved away from the station, and a boy who exuded a faint indifference stood with his backlight.

He lowered his head, and his broken bangs covered his eyebrows. Under the light of the fluorescent lamp, there was a beautiful circle of light on the top of the boy's layered brown hair.

The eyes are unruly, the slender and long single phoenix eyes, and the two thin lips with pride under the high nose bridge.

The most striking thing is his eyes, which shine sharply all the time.

Liao Su stood in place and looked at the train in the distance, although there was not the slightest wave on his face, but there were ripples in his heart.

He slowly turned around, the railway station was built on a hill, and the station was on top of it, except for a few tall buildings blocking the view, and from here it could almost overlook the entire West City.

Looking at this strange hometown, I couldn't help but think: "I didn't expect that the station in my hometown would make me feel so strange." ”

Although Xicheng is Liao Su's hometown, when Liao Su was six years old, he left here to study in other places.

At that time, the college entrance examination in other places was not allowed, and in this way, Liao Su had to return here alone.

For this "strange" city, for his hometown, he ...... But I don't know anything.

Liao Su dragged the box out of the train station slowly, although he walked towards the other side of his heart, he never found the direction to stop.

The square in front of the station is basically parallel to the city, and there is no elevator to get down from the train station, so you can only walk down step by step.

was already a little tired, coupled with the stairs along the way, which made it difficult for Liao Su to walk.

After walking off the train station, Liao Su looked up at the sky, the time was long, long, and when he looked up at the sky like this, the sky seemed to be very close to him, as if he would touch the coolness of the clouds when he reached out.

Liao Su said to himself: "Tomorrow is the time to sign up, let's find a place to live today." ”

The first time he returned to this Xicheng, Liao Su was not familiar with everything here, he didn't know where the environment was good, and he didn't know where the prices were low.

So, I found a hotel along the direction of the school, which is very close to the school, and it only takes about three or four minutes to walk to the school.

Although the scale does not seem to be very large, and there is no sign of a five-star hotel, at least it will not be a black store.

Liao Su dragged the suitcase and walked in slowly, the decoration here is very tight, the bar counter is in the house on the right side of the door, and there are three clocks in the middle of the bar, which respectively display the time in Beijing-London-New York.

On the left side of the bar is a potted osmanthus tree, with a small trunk and neat branches and leaves, which seem to have been pruned frequently.

To the right of the bar is a cradle, supported in mid-air by a stand decorated with a vermicelli bunny.

"Anyone?" Liao Su shouted softly inside.

As soon as the words fell, a gentle and soft, windchime-like voice came out: "Do you live in the hotel?" You're here at the right time......"

Liao Su looked for a voice, and a woman stood up from under the bar, and Liao Su was startled by the sudden sound.

Before he could answer, the woman said again: "I know that you are going to school tomorrow, tomorrow school will start, many people have entered the city, the whole city is full, but I still have a vacant room, come on, register." ”

This sound is like spring water, trickling down, making people listen to it in the hot summer, there is a feeling of sweetness.

Liao Su didn't know what to say for a while, so he took out his ID card from his pocket, walked into the bar, and handed it over.

When registering, Liao Su took a look at this person.

The girl was about twenty-three or four, with a pair of crystal eyes, clear and bright like stars, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, thin lips like rose petals delicate and dripping, fine black long hair, draped over her shoulders......

Liao Su was about to observe more closely, but the girl said again: "On the night of June 1st, give a hundred, and the rest should be used as a deposit." ”

Liao Su was shocked, and he couldn't imagine that the prices here were even more expensive than those in other places.

Liao Su asked softly, "Is there no standard room?" ”

The girl raised her head and looked at Liao Su and said, "There are only sixty left, and I am the last one." ”

It was hard to think in those clear eyes that she was lying.

Liao Su looked out the window and talked helplessly, it seemed that it was about to rain, so he could only choose here.

Liao Su took out the brand-new 100 yuan, handed it over, and the girl took it and skillfully checked the authenticity of the money.

Liao Su asked, "Is there a restaurant around here?" ”

The girl suddenly became interested, and she said excitedly: "There is a dumpling restaurant from here, the taste is definitely a must in Xicheng, if you like to eat dumplings, you must go there to try it." ”

As soon as Liao Su wanted to speak, the girl said, "If you want to eat anything else, you have to take a taxi to the east or north of the city." ”

Liao Su responded: "It seems that this Xicheng County is not small......

As soon as Liao Su said this, the girl asked in surprise: "Why aren't you from this Xicheng, then what are you doing here?" ”

When Liao Su heard this, he hurriedly said: "I was born here, but I haven't been to this Xicheng county. ”

The girl took out a room card from under the bar, handed it over and said, "Then you have to take a good look in this West City, this is the room card, room 204 upstairs." ”

Liao Su took the room card, didn't reply again, dragged the suitcase and climbed to the second floor, the corridor here was dim, and the slight brightness emitted by the light was not enough to illuminate every corner.

204 On the side of the road, Liao Su took advantage of the dim light for a long time to open the door.

The room is quite clean, air conditioning and TV are readily available, there is a big bed in the middle, Liao Su closed the door and lay directly on the bed, the 21-hour train has already exhausted him.

After sleeping for a long time before waking up, Liao Su slowly got up, the curtains were not closed, and it was easy to see outside the window, dark clouds, and a light rain was falling.

Liao Su said to himself: "It's raining......"

Although it was tired and raining, Liao Su decided to go out and get some food.

After walking out of the door, the lights in the corridor were still dim, and Liao Su cautiously walked down the stairs, at this time there happened to be a mother and son checking in.

Although Liao Su didn't deliberately listen, he could still clearly hear the girl say: "Standard room 45, pay a deposit of 100 and the rest as a deposit, upstairs room 209." ”

The two walked up to the second floor with their things, Liao Su walked over and asked softly, "Isn't it the last room I live in, why is there still a 45 room?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "Someone just checked out, I just happened to meet it, don't worry, my sister has opened the store for so many years, can I still deceive you children." ”

At this time, Liao Su carefully observed this "sister" again, and nothing else had changed, but those Danfeng eyes felt very much like Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions".

After Liao Su walked out of the hotel, the girl smiled and said to herself: "This kid has a very small heart. ”

On the first day he came to Xicheng, Liao Su felt that he had been deceived.

Liao Su walked out of the hotel, the streets of this west city, the trees ...... Everything here made Liao Su feel unfamiliar.

Although Liao Su was born here, he has never lived in the county, and perhaps another place is more familiar to Liao Su than this "hometown".

However, that familiar place does not make Liao Su feel nostalgic, he actually yearns for his hometown.

After walking for less than ten minutes, Liao Su looked up and saw a big signboard, with the black sign in gold block letters saying "Happy Dumpling Restaurant".

Liao Su said to himself: "It should be here." ”

Liao Su pushed the door and walked in, and what caught his eye was a classical-style dumpling restaurant.

The floor of the whole room is paved with bamboo-colored wooden polished floors, and the dark brown solid wood background wall sets the tone of the whole room elegant and fresh.

A modern leather sofa in the middle of the room surrounds the square dining table, and clean goblets stand upright on the table.

The design of Chinese and Western combinations makes the whole dumpling restaurant full of unique style experience, bringing people a unique aesthetic experience of retro elegance without losing simplicity and freshness.

This dumpling restaurant is not small, and you can't see it all at a glance.

At this time, a voice came from the kitchen: "Welcome, what do you want to eat?" ”

Liao Su looked for prestige, this is a middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen, Liao Su looked at the woman, she looked almost forty years old, and the long years of hard work left a shallow fishtail mark on the corner of her eye.

However, her short thick and shiny hair was still so black, and although her eyes were single eyelids, they were delicate and bright.

The lips that are often pursed forcefully under the high bridge of the nose show the vitality of green and scattered.

Liao Su replied, "Are there any mushroom-like dumplings?" ”

When he was a child, Liao Su's family grew shiitake mushrooms, and he could have chosen to continue his business, but the arrogance of the locals completely blocked the road of their home.

Liao Su likes to eat shiitake mushrooms, but a pound outside is sold for more than a hundred, mainly because there is no production there and the transportation fee is very expensive, which makes it difficult for Liao Su to eat a meal.

But the next answer made Liao Su a little embarrassed, and the proprietress said: "You're not from here, we only cook one kind of dumpling every day in our store, and generally I ask what to eat refers to dipping dumplings or dumplings." ”

Although, a little embarrassed, Liao Su still explained: "I just came back from out of town, and I'm not very familiar with this place, so let's eat dumplings." ”

The proprietress responded: "Okay, wait a minute......"

With that, she went into the kitchen and started cooking dumplings.

In high school in 2007, smartphones were not yet widespread among the whole people, and Liao Su still did not have a mobile phone at this time.

The door was a little noisy, Liao Su sat in a position far away from the door, and he took a closer look at the shop.

When viewed from the outside in, it feels like another style, and the two large pots of green plants at the entrance stand out.

Inside the doorway there are six tables, connected to a cash register, and there are more than a dozen tables inside.

In addition, there are three private rooms with a staircase at the back, I don't know if there is a second floor......

The dumplings were cooked quickly, and before Liao Su finished reading them, the dumplings were served, and the proprietress said: "The dumplings are cooked, today's ones are beef filling, you can try to eat them." ”

Liao Su still prefers beef, and he responded: "Thank you......"

The dumplings lie quietly on the plate, like a shy girl, she has a crystal clear body and a good face.

Looking at it, Liao Su was greedy, and he was indeed hungry, Liao Su took a bite lightly, and the mellow thick juice suddenly hit the taste buds, and the taste suddenly melted in his mouth and became very delicious.

Liao Su replied with some satisfaction: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings for a long, long time!" ”

Seeing that Liao Su did not resist her craftsmanship, the proprietress also replied: "Just eat if you like, eat slowly, don't burn." ”

After saying that, I went into the kitchen, maybe to clean up the kitchen utensils, maybe to make dumplings again, it doesn't matter.

Liao Su ate the dumplings in a big gulp, the long journey had already left his stomach empty, not only finished eating the dumplings, but there was not even a little soup left.

This dumpling inevitably reminded Liao Su of the scene where his mother made dumplings for herself.

Mom first put the skin flat on the palm of her hand, and used chopsticks to put the meat filling in the middle of the snow-white dumpling skin.

The dumpling skin is pressed together on the opposite side, and then a lot of beautiful lace is pressed, and the lace is densely braided, like a comb.

Thinking of this, Liao Su missed them a little, he didn't continue to think about it, he was worried that he would cry.

After eating, Liao Su said, "Auntie, pay the bill." ”

From the kitchen, the aunt's familiar voice came: "Five yuan a serving." After Liao Su finished paying, he walked out of the dumpling shop.

Just finished eating dumplings, maybe it was too hot, which made Liao Su feel a little warm in his heart.

The rain didn't continue to fall, and on the way back to the hotel, he felt that the trees on the side of the road suddenly became a little familiar, probably because he had just walked by.

The way back was much shorter than the feeling when I went, and I was back to the hotel very quickly.

Although he rested for a while, it was still not enough to eliminate the fatigue on Liao Su's body, and he just lay on the bed with a feeling of fatigue, and fell asleep while lying down.
