my dad said he likes you

With the heater turned on in the car, the chill in Xie An's body was completely dispelled.

Lu Yao was also polite, took the milk Chen Sheng gave him from the arms of Xie An who was sitting blankly on the co-pilot, lifted the cap of the bottle, and drank most of the bottle at once.

He took the remaining glass bottle of milk and approached Xie An and asked, "Do you want to drink it?"

Xie An was still in a sluggish state. When he heard the question, he didn't know what he said, so he unconsciously replied hello.

Lu Yao took the milk back, grunted a few times, and swallowed the rest into his stomach.

"I've already drank this bottle, go buy another bottle yourself."

"it is good."

He thought it was funny, and turned to stare at him: "Stupid? Why do you only say yes?"

"it is good."

"..."

Lu Yao gave up talking to him, opened the car door again, and slammed it shut.

The sound woke Xie An up.

He looked ahead, and the man walked forward against the night.

Walking into a convenience store, after a while, I opened the door and came out with an extra bag of things in my hand.

The complicated emotions in his heart were suppressed by him, and when Lu Yao got back into the car, he was able to ask calmly: "Uncle Yao, why are you here?"

Lu Yao took out a bag of heated sandwiches from the bag, took a bite out of the package, and threw the rest to him: "Just passing by, I saw you here, let's take a look."

Xie An looked down at the things in his eye pockets, a bag of hot milk, and a sandwich of the same style as Lu Yao.

"Then when did you come?"

"Forget, I slept in the car anyway, so I haven't waited for you for long." Lu Yao glanced at him, "Why did you think of coming here? It's so late. The money you saved before , that’s how it all came about? Take apart the food and eat it, and see that you haven’t eaten for a long time, can you bear it?”

Xie An obediently opened the sandwich and milk, took a sip, and replied, "It's never been this late before."

"Is that also earned by your own part-time job?"

He couldn't hear the emotion in Lu Yao's voice when he said this, so he nodded: "Yeah."

"Then you're pretty good, studying and working part-time, aren't you tired?"

"Fortunately, the boss is very nice and didn't make me too tired."

Lu Yao stopped talking, Xie An was a little worried that what he said was wrong, he glanced at him, he was staring at the road ahead, from Xie An's perspective, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking at this time.

After a long silence, Xie An took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Yao?"

Lu Yao seemed to have made up his mind, he rubbed the sandwich bag in his hand, leaned over and put the garbage into the bag on his lap.

He asked: "So part-time job, must do it?"

He didn't ask about other more private things, like preserving the almost untouchable self-esteem of a teenager.

"Ah."

Lu Yao leaned back on his seat and said lightly, "In this case, then help me with things."

"what?"

"I leave the sanitation at home to you. You clean it once a week. How much does he pay you for your salary?"

Xie An replied subconsciously: "One hundred and one day."

"I'll give you two hundred, which is considered as extra compensation for privately employing child labor, is there no problem?"

Xie An didn't lose his mind because of his words, and quickly replied: "Yes!"

Lu Yao turned his eyes sideways, Xie An's heart shrank, but he still insisted on completing his words: "These are what I should do, you don't need to give me money."

"Thank you."

"I took you home voluntarily, and I didn't mix any personal feelings that you need to reciprocate. So you don't need, and don't think, you owe me anything. Just treat it as a visit to our house I just stayed for a long time. As I said, Lu Huai is very happy that you can come, and I have nothing to lose. In other words, you can regard this as a profitable transaction for both parties. Since It is a deal that has already been reached, and there is no such thing as a debt.

"Letting you clean up the house is the same as helping you in a barbecue restaurant, but it's just a different venue and a different time. Since you have paid for your labor, I should also give you the reward you deserve. This is not Charity is not sympathy, I will not prevent you from getting paid through your own labor, but I can let you get paid in another way, so the money given to you is what you deserve, and you get it through your own labor, It's the result of your own hard work, understand?"

Xie An savored his words carefully, Lu Yao gave him enough time to think, and believed that he could understand.

Finally, Xie An said earnestly, "Uncle Yao, thank you."

……

"Are you reconciled with your father? I saw it when you came over in the afternoon. As a family, if you live together every day, you will inevitably have conflicts. But in this world, there are no parents who don't love their children. You still Little one, you should focus on your studies now. If you need money, go ask your parents now. When they get old, they still have to rely on you. Come on, you also worked for a day, this 200 yuan is your salary today, take it away."

Xie An looked at the two red banknotes in his hand, took one and wanted to return it to him: "We agreed on one hundred a day, but I only made it for one day."

The man smiled honestly, and pushed his hand away without any explanation: "I know, you have worked hard to sell a lot tonight, so let's treat it as extra hard work for you. Your father has been waiting for you for so long, since you have reconciled Now, why don't you just take the money and buy a small gift for your dad, he will be very happy when he receives something from his son's first salary, so keep it and keep it."

Xie An didn't bother to correct his address, he couldn't argue with it many times, and finally he could only accept it: "Uncle Chen, then I'll go first, thank you very much."

"It's okay, it's okay, just bring more friends to help me take care of the business in the future."

"Okay, I'll bring my friends."

Xie An squeezed the two banknotes that were still warm, and saw the profile of the man exposed by the lowered window of the car in front of him, which was illuminated by the warm yellow light.

His originally calm heart softened a little.

……

"Uncle Yao, haven't you just eaten?"

Lu Yao laid an egg and it fell into the oil with a squeak.

He didn't look at him: "Go take a bath, come here after you get rid of the smell on your body."

Xie An didn't know why, but he obediently went to take a bath.

Returning to the kitchen after washing, Lu Yao was taking off his apron. When he saw him coming, he turned his head and motioned for the noodles on the dining table.

"I've been busy for so long, can't I just eat a piece of bread to be full? Go back to sleep after eating, and leave the dishes for me to wash tomorrow."

He didn't move.

The man passed behind him: "Why are you standing there stupidly, your face will fall off, do you want me to feed you?"

Xie An sat down blankly, looking at the bowl of steaming noodles with fried eggs.

What Chen Sheng said is vivid in my ears.

——It would be nice if there was someone in the family who would leave a light on and cook bowls of noodles.

—Someone left a light waiting for him.

——I even cooked noodles for him.

The author has something to say: Last time I confessed my love to An An, let me say it out loud today, I really like Uncle Yao too!

It's because I made a mistake in my previous expression...it was double-updated before Thursday!
