"Son, is class really that boring?"

On the way home, Li Mai asked Haohao. Taking his son on a blind date, he is going to do this, because he can't leave his son alone, even for a few hours. But if the son happily goes on a blind date with him because he can skip class, he will not be happy.

"No, I feel good, and I see a lot of people every day. Hao Hao said, and the big cat sitting on the side roared in cooperation with the little master.

Haohao asked Li Mai who was driving again, "Dad, shall we take the big cat there?"

Li Mai glanced back at the big cat and said, "No, the big cat is a tiger, so you have to frighten people." Besides, there should be someone at home to keep a watcher. ”

"Okay. ”

Hao Hao touched the big cat's head and said to the big cat, "Big cat, you will stay at home by yourself tomorrow and don't let the thief run into the house, okay?"

The big cat nodded heavily and let out a low roar, presumably meaning that it meant to ensure that the task was completed.

"By the way, Aunt Rava came here in the morning. Hao Hao said suddenly.

Li Mai looked back at Haohao and asked, "Aunt Rava, when did she go to school to find you?"

Hao Hao and the big cat played a game of you shoot and I shoot in the back row, and said, "It's when the first class in the morning is over, she comes to see me." Didn't she say on my birthday that the birthday present would arrive a few days late, and she sent it. ”

Li Mai sighed and asked, "What did she give you?" ”

Hao Hao took out a fountain pen from his schoolbag and said, "It's a fountain pen." I saw that Aunt Rava had a very strict expression, and I felt that this fountain pen must be her most important thing. Dad, why don't you give it back to her? ”

Li Mai took the pen with one free hand, glanced down, and immediately saw a few Russian words on the cap that had been polished a little blurred, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, this pen is very important to Aunt Rava." I'll help you give it back to her. ”

Putting the pen in the glove box, Li Mai thought. He reckoned that the pen was probably the only thought that Rawa's grandfather had left her with the name of Boris, Rawa's grandfather, on the cap. Why did Rava give such a meaningful fountain pen to Hao Hao as a birthday gift?

couldn't figure it out, so Li Mai stopped thinking about it.

"Son, let's go out for dinner at noon. ”

Hao Hao asked: "Is it a Tang Dynasty restaurant again?" ”

"Ugh. ”

Haohao said it so reasonably, Li Mai was speechless.

"Then I'll take you to a roadside stall, the kind that you can eat and clothe yourself. Li Mai thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, the big cat does it himself. Hao Hao said and glanced at the big cat, and the big cat nodded heavily.

"Let's go. ”

Li Mai turned a corner in front of him, drove into the street from the main road, turned left and right, and drove for about ten minutes, the street is getting smaller and smaller, the buildings on both sides are getting older and older, and the taste of the old city and the feeling of life are getting stronger and stronger. Apparently, Li Mai had already driven into the old town.

The so-called old city is not the dirty and dirty area of the city. Thirty years ago, it refers to the new urban area - the city is constantly developing, the buildings and various infrastructure are constantly being renewed, and the area is constantly expanding. At least every three years, an area will be gloriously transformed into an old town, and similarly, at least every three years, a new city will go from the city's planning blueprint to a real place.

The first modern districts that appeared 30 years ago are in fact incomparable to today, even the newest, – at least the old ones, which are not like some of the city's districts, which are flooded with torrential rains.

The environment determines the type of people who live there, and therefore affects various aspects, such as clothing, such as habits, such as the pace of life.

The old town gives a taste of life.

Park the car in the parking space on the side of the road, the body of the Land 6200 is more than five meters beyond the parking space, but the four wheels are still in the parking space. On the corner of the street about 10 meters in front of the parking space, there is a small façade with no signboard. There were three or four tables in the store, and then there were about seven or eight tables in the open space in front of the store.

At this moment, all the tables were full, because it was lunch time.

Almost every customer has the same food in front of them, a large bowl, a big bowl for soup, a saucer, rice, and a side dish or two in a saucer, gone.

There are only three kinds of food here: pork offal soup, pork soup, and beef soup.

Depending on the vegetables you go with, you can make more than a dozen different soups.

Only soup.

Most of the people who eat here are migrant workers who live here, and many of them are clerks in office buildings. For a small amount of money, you can eat meat and soup, and you don't need to wait for a long time, a meal only needs to take half an hour or even less, and you can pay a minimum of 9 yuan and a maximum of 16 yuan in soft currency.

Proportional to this, what kind of price and what kind of service.

This unsignboarded restaurant is more of a family that provides paid meals than a business outlet, and the owner and clerk are a family. When it's full, they're usually just responsible for making the soup, and you can basically do the rest yourself.

If you can't wait, go and bring the soup yourself, then go to the food yourself, make the dishes yourself, and of course, before that, of course, you usually have to find your own chair and sit down at any table that can accommodate another person to eat. After eating, you usually have to put away the dishes and chopsticks, put them in that large basin, and then take out the prepared change to pay for it.

Of course, sometimes the proprietress in charge of collecting money is busy and will make you wait. You'll have to take the money and follow the proprietress a few times until she has her hands free to collect the money.

Obviously, you can also get up and leave without paying. But I promise you won't dare to come back next time.

This is the most hygienic restaurant of this kind that Li Mai knows - such restaurants are all over the streets and alleys of Nangang, and the people of Nangang love to drink soup.

"You stay here with the big cat, and I'll go in and move the table. Glancing and seeing that there was nowhere to go, Li Mai said to Haohao.

Hao Hao nodded, and stood there waiting, his eyes constantly changing from one table to another. The dress of these guests is really very different from the guests he often goes to in the Tang Dynasty restaurants, and the feeling is completely different. But Hao Hao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he obviously liked this atmosphere even more.

The surrounding guests also looked at Hao Hao from time to time as a cute little boy, and when they saw the big cat standing next to Hao Hao, everyone's eyes were surprised. I've never seen such a big cat with such a beautiful coat.

There were four people sitting at the table beside Hao Hao, two men and two women, who seemed to be two teams of couples, dressed very neatly, but the act of eating exposed their rudeness.

Among the two men, one is an inch and the other is a seven. The inch head looks younger, and the seven-minute head looks about forty years old.

He looked at Hao Hao seriously, and then looked at Li Mai, who was waiting for the boss in the store to find a temporary table, and then glanced at the two women. Cuntou nodded slightly, put down his chopsticks and got up and walked across the street. Their car was parked there, and they were going to drive over.

Seven pointed his head at the good-looking woman in her thirties on the right-hand side, and the good-faced woman nodded, glancing at the younger, sexier-dressed woman sitting across from her.

The sexy woman got up and walked into the store, standing at the door, just between Li Mai and Hao Hao, she beckoned to the boss and said, "Boss, check out." ”

The proprietress came out of the inner room, holding a table in her hand, agreed, put down the small table, and said to Li Mai, "Wait a minute! I'll find you two chairs later." ”

Li Mai smiled and nodded, and continued to wait.

On the other hand, the good-faced women have already begun to act.

She only needed to turn around and talk face-to-face with Hao Hao, who was close at hand, "Kid, what grade are you in?"

Seeing someone talking to him, Hao Hao said politely, "Hello Auntie, I'm in the first grade." ”

"Ah, that's amazing, Auntie thought you were just in preschool. The good-faced woman pointed to the big cat and said, "Your cat is so cute, does it have a name?"

"Of course! It's called Big Cat, and it's obedient. Hao Hao said proudly.

"Big cat, that's nice. Where did I buy it, and my aunt wants to buy one too. Said the good-faced woman.

Hao Hao shook his head and said, "What I can't buy is what I came across when I went into the mountains to play." My dad said it was the only one in the world. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

At this time, the head drove a van, slowly drove over, pulled over, and remained on fire. Seven points swept his eyes at the good-faced woman, and the smile of the good-faced woman became even brighter, reached into his pocket, and slowly took out a cotton tissue.

"Little friend, can you let Auntie see your big cat?" asked Hao Hao with a smile from the good-faced woman.

Hao Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, you can, but you have to be careful, big cats bite people very painfully." ”

The good-faced woman didn't think so, isn't it just a big cat, and promised with her mouth: "Okay, okay, Auntie just wants to hug it." ”

Hao Hao patted the big cat's head and took two steps forward with the big cat.

At this time, Qifentou stood up at the right time, glanced around, walked to the van, opened the door, took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette and smoked it, it seemed that he was waiting for someone to smoke a cigarette and leave immediately.

The good-faced woman got up, squatted down, gently reached out and touched the big cat's head, and praised: "What a cute cat." ”

When she turned her head to look at the store, the sexy woman signaled. The sexy woman settled the account, turned around and looked at her by counting the money, and the proprietress walked into the inner room to find a stool for Li Mai. This is the best chance to start, and by the time Li Mai reacted, the child had already been put in the car and driven away.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the good-faced woman, and she suddenly hugged Haohao, and the tissue on her right hand covered Haohao's nose!
