Stallholder, have a laugh

"Ms. Huang, we didn't expect your husband to have an accident during his business trip. The company really lost an excellent talent."

The manager handed Huang Xiaoyu an envelope with a sad look on his face.

"Please grief."

Huang Xiaoyu lost her mind, took the envelope, completely ignored the comfort from the manager, came out of the office building in a daze, and mechanically walked to the station home.The five-year-old boy grabbed his mother's backpack strap and hurriedly followed behind, not knowing that a huge change had taken place in his family.

The journey was long, and the woman's eyes were dull and she didn't say a word along the way. The boy was playing with his clothes in boredom, and looked at his mother from time to time.

After returning home, it took Huang Xiaoyu a long time to come to her senses, curled up in the corner and let out a low cry. The boy was frightened by her sudden overflow of tears, so he ran over to look.

"Mother?"

She hugged the young boy tightly, stroked his head, and buried her face on his shoulder: "Yicheng, daddy is gone, daddy won't come back, you have to obediently listen to mommy from now on, okay? "

"Yeah. But why didn't Dad come back? Did Dad not want us?"

Seeing the boy's puzzled expression, the woman smiled wryly and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Because, Dad went to a far away place..."

In the blink of an eye, 11 years have passed by in a flash.

The heat spread throughout Qingshui Lane, and the scorching sun made people peel off a layer of skin.Xu Yicheng walked into the yard marked No. [-], Qingshui Lane, carrying large and small plastic bags.His childish eyebrows and eyes were removed, and he became more handsome, with a pair of black square-rimmed glasses on his tall nose bridge, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead.

The whole yard is full of joy. The neighbors are sitting around a card table in the middle of the yard to watch the Four Heavenly Kings Mahjong in the yard.This table has only been set up for a few days, Xu Yicheng recalled it, the last one should have been moved to the kitchen to pile firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Mahjong King Song Geng just won a hand, and shouted happily: "Come here, I am willing to bet and lose, and give me money!" Seeing Xu Yicheng waving his arms through the crowd, Song Geng saw Xu Yicheng waving his arms: "Yicheng! Your mother is here!" Kitchen, hurry up and help, Uncle has won money today, and I will buy you delicious food tonight!"

Xu Yicheng turned his head and waved to him as well, in response.Until he entered the kitchen, he could still hear Uncle Song Geng's deep laughter.

The kitchen was filled with mist, Zhang Ma was washing the vegetables, she knew he was back when she heard the footsteps, and directed without looking back: "Yicheng, put the condiments and condiments on the table, come over and work together when you're done. "

"Oh, I know."

He looked at the old card table, put down his things, and quickly joined the camp of washing vegetables, picking dishes and serving pots, very skillful.

"Isn't it time to report tomorrow?" Huang Xiaoyu poked her head out of the fog and asked, putting a few handfuls of vegetables into the boiling water at the same time.

"Well. Just register, I will go by myself, and I will be back in the afternoon, so don't worry about it, Mom."

Everyone picked a shady place, and as soon as the mahjong was put away, the card table became a dining table, and a group of people crowded the table to the brim. "Yicheng, eat more, grow your body." Song Geng smiled and donated vegetables to Xu Yicheng's bowl, completely ignoring his rice bowl which could no longer hold vegetables. "Uncle Geng, eat more yourself." Xu Yicheng silently moved his rice bowl away.

Song Geng turned his head and looked at Huang Xiaoyu with a smile: "Xiaoyu, you have been here for two months, are you still used to living here? Our conditions here are poor, and I have wronged you." Huang Xiaoyu smiled: "What? If there is any grievance, everyone is willing to take us in for free, and it is too late for us to thank you."

"Who said it's free?" Zhang's mother was also full of smiles: "Xiaoyu's cooking skills are no worse than the chefs in restaurants, and Xiaocheng is willing to help. It's much easier for everyone to solve the food."

"Xiaoyu, how did you make money in the village?" an old lady asked.

"It also sells barbecue." Huang Xiaoyu said proudly: "My family's barbecue business is the best."

"Moving here now, is it better to sell barbecue business in the vegetable market than before?"

"At night, the whole street sells barbecue, and the location is remote, so there is no good business yet." She said. "I always have to gain fame. But after Yicheng starts school, I plan to rent a booth in the back street of the school. There are many students."

Xu Yicheng listened to their chatter, raised the bowl and ate the rice earnestly, while thinking about what he would report to the No. [-] Middle School tomorrow.

"Mom, which day will you open, and I will help?" He asked in a low voice.

"Well... I'm going to rent a booth this week. Let's open it again on Saturday, and take a few days off by the way. If you're not busy with school, you can come and help if you want."

"Well, Mom, you've worked hard." He picked up a piece of stewed fish with chopsticks and put it in Huang Xiaoyu's bowl.She just looked at him, cheerful, without saying anything.

At night, the fan blew a muggy wind, Xu Yicheng sat in the yard watching the sky.

The dark night sky is not as beautiful as the sky in my hometown Bihai Town, with few stars.When he was a child, he liked to look at the stars in Bihai Town the most. There was no light pollution, and the dots of light dotted around gave off a beautiful silver glow. Looking at it, it seemed that they could be connected and outline all kinds of strange outlines.

Huang Xiaoyu came out wrapped in a coat and asked him, "What are you thinking, son?"

He pursed his lips and said, "Look at the stars."

"Although you are so old, you are still the same as before." Huang Xiaoyu patted his head.

"Yicheng, you go to live in school."

"Huh?" He didn't respond for a moment.

"Go to live in school. The environment is better than here, and it's convenient to study. The main reason is that you are cold-tempered. I'm afraid you won't get along well with your classmates."

"But..." In the courtyard, it is more convenient to save money and take care of her.

"You don't have to worry about the accommodation fee. I make money, so it's not for you to spend? You save every day, so what's the point of me making money?" Huang Xiaoyu didn't know whether to be angry or not. "Everyone takes good care of me, so you just concentrate on studying for your future, you know? I'm already an old woman, and you have to rely on yourself in the future. You must learn to handle interpersonal relationships well, and don't owe you hundreds of thousands a day. Same."

Xu Yicheng smiled embarrassedly.

"Then, Mom, I live on campus, so I can't help at night..."

"With you Uncle Geng, what about the others in the courtyard, you come on weekends."

"...Okay then." He sighed.
