Volume 1: A First Glimpse of the World Chapter 18: Uncle Yu in the Bakery

Because of the early riser, there was plenty of time to go to work, and the two of them walked on the street one after the other, without agreeing on where to go, and walked towards their destination purely based on what they knew about each other.

The destination is a pancake shop, and the owner of the shop is a sixty-year-old uncle, whose surname is Yu, and his real name is unknown. The shop is located on the other side of the apartment to the company, in a dilapidated alley. The store is not large, only 20 square meters, and the shop sign is very simple, except for a sign erected next to the stove, on which only the word 'pancake' is written. This brand was made by Wang Fan and Gangzi for Uncle Yu.

Uncle Yu was the only one in the store, and I heard Uncle Yu say that his wife died of cancer two years ago, and the children were running for their own futures.

Wang Fan and Gangzi like to chat with Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu can always express some sincere philosophies in life with very humorous words, and the two have learned a lot from Uncle Yu.

With the development of society, there are fewer and fewer young people who like to eat pancakes, and the things that everyone pursues are in conflict with the craftsmanship of the older generation. On weekdays, the people who come here to buy pancakes are neighbors and aunts, like Wang Fan and Gangzi, two loyal young fans, there are almost none, so Uncle Yu is very impressed by these two young men who love to eat pancakes and like to talk to him about the mountains.

The old people in the building had already bought breakfast early, and the people who ordered it out for breakfast were young people and school children. Uncle Yu leaned on the stove at this time, put the pancakes on the stove back into the stove with tongs from time to time to heat it up, and looked boredly at the people coming and going on the street.

According to Uncle Yu himself, he enjoys such a day very much, and he is busy looking at the various states of life, which is very good. Due to the recent events, the two of them haven't come to the uncle's shop for some days to eat a pancake and drink a bowl of boiled thick porridge.

Speaking of which, over the years, it was not the neighbors in the building who had talked to him, but these two young people, Uncle Yu hadn't seen them come over for a while, and he couldn't help but worry all the time, and he didn't care so much about his children. Not far away, I saw Wang Fan and Gangzi walking towards this side one after the other, and Uncle Yu happily waved his hand to greet the two.

Pick out the pancakes that have just been put in the oven and place the tongs on the rack next to the stove. Uncle Yu greeted the two, and as he walked, he put his hand on the waist on his chest and wiped it repeatedly, and muttered in his mouth, "Why haven't you two been here for so long?" Come on, come on, sit down, you're hungry, I'll serve you porridge, wait a minute. ”

arranged for the two to sit down, and without waiting for the two to talk and laugh, they went to the side to serve porridge to the two. After a while, the porridge came up, along with two small plates of pickles and two steaming pancakes. After arranging the breakfast, Uncle Yu didn't care about his stove and the pancakes that were about to get cold, he sat down by himself, looked left and right, and kept looking at the two of them, his eyes were full of smiles.

"It's okay, not thin. The complexion is also very good, it seems that it should just be busy with work recently, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

In the impression of the two, since they became acquainted with Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu has always been such an old-fashioned and enthusiastic person. Although he knows Uncle Yu's temperament, for the two who are wandering outside, they really feel the care of their elders. I like to come to this shop not because of how delicious the pancakes made by Uncle Yu are, but because I feel at home here. A feeling of home that doesn't need to be more graceful and luxurious, just needs three meals a day and the care of the elders.

The two of them didn't say a word halfway through the meal, not because they didn't have anything to say but they didn't know where to start, Gangzi had a secret in his heart, and Wang Fan also had something on his mind. Uncle Yu looked at it and found that something was wrong. Slowly dissipated the smile on his face, and asked with concern, "What's the matter? Have you encountered any problems?" Tell me to the old man, let me tell you, don't look at the old man, I'm making pancakes here now, after all, the old man is also sixty or six this year, and he eats more salt than you eat. ”

Wang Fan glanced at Gangzi, and what was revealed in his eyes was difficult to understand, curious, tangled and disappointed. Lowered his head, took a bite of the pancake, drank a mouthful of porridge, and waited until he swallowed the food in his mouth, and finally made up his mind, raised his head and looked at Uncle Yu and said, "Uncle, if your good friend is hiding something from you, what would you think?"

Uncle Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Fan's question, then looked at Gangzi, and suddenly laughed: "That's it, silly boy, who doesn't have a secret of their own? As long as this secret doesn't involve your friendship and doesn't involve your respective interests, what secrets do you care about him? Is this kid a little lacking?"

"But, we've been talking about everything, so why do we have to hide it?"

"You also know that you have been talking about everything all along? Since you still have something to hide on the basis of nothing to talk about, does it mean that he can't tell you that secret or is inconvenient to tell you at the moment?" Uncle Yu incarnated as a high-quality psychological counselor at this time, and gave Wang Fan a good psychological counseling, "Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts that they can't tell others, some are out of responsibility and some are out of privacy, no matter what kind of it is, it can only be put in their own hearts." Don't deny it, you actually have it too!"

"I, but, I..." Wang Fan didn't say a complete sentence for a while, seeing Wang Fan like this, Uncle Yu knew that his words had a little effect, and then waved his hand to interrupt Wang Fan's words, and then said, "Don't say anything, let's eat, think about my words." Rather than you are not happy to ask me here, why don't you ask the person directly? You have nothing to talk to him, is there anything you can't communicate and explain?"

"However, this thing is a bit unbelievable, so..."

"Eh~ No matter how unbelievable it is, he's also your best friend, right?"

This time, Wang Fan didn't refute anymore, and the gangzi on the side listened to the conversation between Wang Fan and Uncle Yu, and his guess in his heart was seven or eight points firmer. Very well, as long as you open your mouth to ask, then the constraints of the real-world pan-consciousness will be untied to me, and we can explain anything clearly when the time comes. Now, I still can't explain it to you first, I can only be sorry.

After eating breakfast, the two chatted with Uncle Yu for a while, and Uncle Yu was laughing non-stop. After looking at the time, the two stood up and said goodbye to Uncle Yu, and they were about to go to work. Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually leaving, Uncle Yu leaned on the stove again, the smile on the corner of his mouth was gone, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, he couldn't help but raise his hand and waved, "It's okay to come and sit often."

When the two heard Uncle Yu's words, their eyes were inexplicably sour, and they didn't look back with a tacit understanding, leaving only one sentence, "I know, uncle, don't worry, let's go to work, see you tomorrow." "It was passed to Uncle Yu's ears with the wind, this is a promise.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow!" Hearing the words of the two, the loss on the uncle's face dissipated, and he started his work again with a smile. The pancakes on the stove were all cold, and they had to be reheated.

Turning back to the way to the company, neither of them spoke. Wang Fan thought about it in his heart for a long time, but he still opened his mouth first, breaking the embarrassing situation, "Gangzi, something strange happened when I was meditating last night, do you want to know?"

Gangzi was happy in his heart, and I don't want to know? When did you become so hypocritical? But these words are just to think about it in my heart, and the tacit understanding between Gangzi and Wang Fan lies in knowing what kind of words to say when and when to say them. But this time, Gangzi didn't take over the conversation, but just looked at Wang Fan with deep meaning, "Let's not talk about it on this way, let's talk slowly when we go home in the evening." ”

"Hey, you're doing it on purpose, aren't you?!Aren't you underwhelming? You won't let me say it, I'm biased. Wang Fan replied to Gangzi, but he didn't continue to talk about this topic, "It's me who is wrong today, what the uncle said is right, I am the tip of the horns." I know you won't mind, but I have to apologize. As he spoke, he patted Gangzi on the shoulder.

Gangzi shrugged his shoulders and replied in a sneering tone, "How do you know that I don't mind, and you seem to understand me very well." You should have apologized to me, and you were as generous as you were, I bah. After that, Wang Fan, who was full of doubts and confusion, ran out.

By the time Wang Fan reacted, Gangzi had already jumped out for more than twenty meters. Wang Fan was so angry, he shouted while chasing behind, "Don't run, you're on the face, aren't you?" Don't let me catch you, if I catch you, you'll be finished!"

The two of them each held on to the plane tree next to them, lying on their stomachs and holding their knees panting.

"I said can you not be so careful, what a big person, you are still so calculating, chasing me all the way, tired, tired to death!"

"Do you say it yourself is my problem or yours, damn it, I'm really tired. Wang Fan chased all the way, in fact, he was angry and scared Gangzi, and the two of them have always been fighting like this. I just don't know why, the more I chased today, the more excited I became, and I actually chased all the way to the company, "Don't talk about this, let's take a breath and go to work again, whew, whew..."

"You're not hitting me?"

"Nonsense, when did I really beat you?

"Oh, that's good. Then let's go to the company in a moment. After saying that, Gangzi swallowed his saliva, turned around and leaned against the big tree behind him, rested with his head tilted and his eyes closed.
