Met in early autumn of 2001

The hot pot restaurant chosen by Gu Rui and the others was really booming. When they parked there, they heard the buzz of people inside the restaurant, which was extremely lively.After entering the store, the boss himself was very busy, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he called the waiter to come over to greet people.

Gu Rui looked around and saw that the tables were occupied, and the corner near the toilet was empty. He turned around and asked everyone hesitantly, "It seems to be late, there are quite a lot of people, why don't we change?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhu raised his hand and suggested: "I know there is a barbecue restaurant that tastes really good, if not, we can go there." Li Yang obviously went there with him, nodded and said: "It's really delicious. "

Xiao Yuan and Gu Rui had no objections.Xun Lang glanced sideways at Xu Yichen, Xu Yichen looked at him, as if saying that you just make the decision.

Seeing that they seemed to be leaving, the waiter looked up at his neck and hurriedly said, "There is a table over there that is about to end, you can wait for a few minutes, our hot pot is delicious, and you can see that there are quite a few customers here."

"Where are the seven of us, I think the table in your store is a bit small, maybe you can't sit down?"

"Okay, okay, I'll put two tables together, there are eight seats, seven of you can sit down, and you can order two hot pots!" Seeing the boss looking here, the waiter became more active.

Gu Rui nodded and said in a low voice, "It tastes really good, why don't we just wait?"

Xiao Yuan suddenly asked Xu Yichen who had been silent all this time: "Xiaochen likes to eat hot pot or barbecue?"

The other six looked over, and Xu Yichen replied hesitantly, "It's all fine."

Xun Lang thought of Xu Yichen's joy when he heard that he wanted to eat hot pot on the road, and made a decision: "I will eat hot pot."

One person makes the decision, and no one else has an opinion.The waiter managed to keep the people, and was very enthusiastic. He moved the stool and let them sit first.Within a few minutes, a table of guests left, and another table left after a while, and hurriedly asked someone to clean up, put the tables together, and waited for people to sit down and order.

Except for the occasional hot pot during Chinese New Year, there is no time at home.Xu Yichen ate a lot this meal, and when he went back, Xun Lang was not allowed to ride him in the car, and the two of them walked around to eat.Others also went differently with them, waved and left first.

Xun Lang looked at Xu Yichen, who was walking beside him, touching his stomach with his hand, feeling satisfied: "You like hot pot so much?"

Xu Yichen nodded: "Yes, I like it." After he burped a little, he smiled at Xun Lang embarrassedly, feeling a little full.

"What else do you like to eat besides hot pot?" Xun Lang suddenly realized that he didn't know much about Xu Yichen's eating preferences, even though the two had eaten so many meals together.

Xu Yichen lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I like hot pot, and I like barbecue too... Mmm~ I like vegetables the most, and fish, but I don't know how to cook fish."

Xun Lang listened carefully, wondering if I should also learn to cook, and learn how to cook fish?Think about Yichen eating the fish he made himself... decided, must learn!

"By the way, Xun Lang." Xu Yichen yelled but didn't hear Xun Lang's answer, turned his head to see that he seemed to be in a daze, and yelled again.

"Huh?" Xun Lang was still thinking about making fish, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yichen smiled: "What are you thinking about? Don't be in a daze while walking." Fortunately, there are few people and cars on this road.

"What were you trying to say just now?"

Xu Yichen put down his hand touching his belly: "How much did you pay for just now, I'll give it to you when I go back."

Xun Lang stopped, and Xu Yichen stopped when he stopped and turned to face him. Before he could speak angrily, he explained: "Today's meal is for me to celebrate."

Xun Lang was not angry this time: "Then what's the matter, I can't spend money to celebrate you?"

"But you have no income now, and you spend money from your family. I'm different. I'm earning money. Although I have to give it to my family, I earn more money from tutoring for people than from the canteen. If I can, I will also give it to my family. You can keep some for yourself. And I still have the money that Teacher Song gave me last time."

Xun Lang didn't speak.Xu Yichen was afraid that he would not be happy, so he wanted to say something more, but Xun Lang agreed: "Okay, I will tell you when I get back."

He was so straightforward all of a sudden, which made Xu Yichen a little taken aback, and it took a while to agree.

Back at the rented room, Xun Lang really told Xu Yichen how much the meal cost tonight, Xu Yichen didn't hesitate, took the schoolbag and counted the money in the dark layer, and gave it to Xun Lang, looking at him It's safe to put it in your wallet.

On Monday night, tutoring officially started.Xu Yichen brought the three junior high school students into the bedroom, came out again, saw Xun Lang sitting on the bed, and said, "I'm going to give them tutoring, you should read the books and do the questions yourself, I'll close the door so it won't be too noisy you."

Xun Lang nodded casually, got out of bed and took his schoolbag as if I was serious, Xu Yichen smiled and walked out and closed the door.After waiting for a few minutes to confirm that the opposite side should start, Xun Lang threw away the pen, and opened the door of the master bedroom lightly.As soon as the door was opened, the voice of talking in the bedroom became much louder. Xun Lang could hear clearly without leaning over the door. It was Xu Yichen who was talking about the knowledge points, eighth grade physics.The Mandarin he speaks has little fluctuation in tone, and the pronunciation of some words is not very accurate, which is the same as when he usually talks to himself.

Xun Lang didn't know why he just stood there for almost an hour. If he didn't hear footsteps, he wouldn't have time to get out of the way.Just as he sat down and picked up his pen, the door was pushed open. Xu Yichen leaned over and looked at Xun Lang with a smile: "Do you want a drink of water? I'll pour you a glass."

Xu Yichen went out before Xun Lang could answer, and came back with two glasses of water after a while, and gave one to Xun Lang, most of his gurgling went down.Seeing that he was drinking in such a hurry, Xun Lang asked worriedly, "Does your throat hurt?" Talking so much for an hour is quite tiring. "

Xu Yichen blinked his eyes while drinking water, and replied after he swallowed it: "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt, but the sliced ​​meat for dinner was a bit salty, and I'm thirsty." Xun Lang likes the taste of meat, and the plate of meat was originally made for people. He ate, but Xun Lang said that he had to eat a balanced diet, including meat, and was fed several chopsticks.

"You can put less salt in the future, I will follow you to eat."

Xu Yichen tilted his head to look at him, and Xun Lang looked at him seriously.Xu Yichen tapped the corner of his lips with his index finger, and at the end of his eyes, he saw that Xun Lang's textbook was still the page he had just opened. Just as he was about to ask him, the door of the opposite bedroom opened, and a student came out and shouted, "Teacher, what should we do?" alright."

Xu Yichen was still not used to being called a teacher, his ears turned red, and he walked over.

"Are you thirsty? Do you want me to pour water for you? There is a thermos in the kitchen, and you can pour it yourself if you are thirsty."

Xun Lang heard those junior high school students say they were not thirsty, and some said they had brought water bottles.The door of the master bedroom was not closed, Xun Lang took a deep breath, picked up a pen, followed the voices and occasional chuckles coming from the opposite side, and began to read a book and do the quizzes.
