Released

Confused, Lu Xiangyang quickly replied to the message.

"Aunt Xu, I heard from my brother that you are not feeling well. If you need my help, just tell me."

Lu Xiangyang waited for a long time, but Aunt Xu did not reply.

Some people are born unable to remember hatred, but kindness can always be remembered very clearly.When he came to Miancheng alone to make a living, Aunt Xu rented his shop, underpaid a month's deposit, and gave him a meal.

Lu Xiangyang has never forgotten the taste of that home-cooked meal.

Aunt Xu said, it’s really not easy for you children who go to other places to work hard.

Lu Xiangyang was very sensitive to this kind of family background issue. He buried his head and pretended to concentrate on eating, but didn't dare to ask further questions.

Later, rumors spread among the neighbors that Aunt Xu had never been married in her life. When she was young, she became the director of a kindergarten, and she only cared about her work, and she was so busy that she retired.

Coincidentally, the kindergarten where Aunt Xu works is also called Sunflower—Sunflower Kindergarten.It also falls on Flower Street, not far from his shop.Sometimes, there would always be one or two big-hearted road idiot parents who led them to Lu Xiangyang's store doorway as soon as they navigated.

When the little flower of the motherland grows up, the gardener gets old, and there is no one to take care of her.

The only fortunate thing is that Aunt Xu has a few small shops nearby to collect rent, and with retirement medical insurance and other things, she can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing.

After eating the cat food that was more expensive than rice, the cat licked its paws and washed its face in satisfaction, then swaggered away with its tail raised high.

"Fuck." Boss Lu grabbed his phone and stood up, "Why doesn't the cat have to work?"

The morning and evening line in September seems to have been shortened.It was just after six o'clock, and the sky was slowly sinking, and the outline of the building was hidden in the sunset, leaving only a few golden rays of light lying softly on the window sill of the studio.

As dusk fell, the street lights came on one by one, and pigeons flew high above their heads, making long whistles.People who got off work came from across the road, laughing and laughing.Lu Xiangyang pushed open the glass door, and the rich aroma of milk in the room was scattered with the cool wind, mixed with the aroma of fireworks and food cooked by every household.

It's the taste of home.

The night in the city is very bright, as bright as day, the place is full of luxury and luxury, and the streets are full of feasting lights.

But Miancheng is too small, and these small pieces of warmth go around, like stars in the sky, enough to heat up the whole city.

Boss Lu took a photo of the egg yolk pastry just now with the golden light from heaven, and posted it on Moments.

Caption: Warmth at dusk.

As soon as the store door opened, the owner of the blue and white flower shop next door followed the scent and came over to take a look.

When Lu Xiangyang saw someone coming, he called her first: "Sister Qingqing, are you off work?"

Sister Qingqing was called after Xiaohua, and Lu Xiangyang was not in the habit of asking about girls' ages.

"Yeah, today a client asked for more than [-] flower baskets for the opening, but I'm tired." Qingqing was carrying large and small bags in her hand, with a bunch of keys hooked on her little finger, and it seemed that the store door had been locked.She smiled at Lu Xiangyang, "Where's Miss Xiaohua?"

"To the east of the city to deliver." Lu Xiangyang looked at the clock, "It's time to come back."

"Your heart is too big." Qingqing said, "It's getting dark quickly now, and there is little work at night. Let her go out for a run, what if something happens to her?"

Lu Xiangyang nodded approvingly: "Okay, I'll call her and ask where she is. Thank you, Sister Qingqing."

Qingqing's family conditions are quite good, her parents are businessmen, they support her to open a flower shop, own a car and a house in Miancheng, she is considered a little rich woman.She piled things into the trunk of the car, waved her hand and drove away.

Lu Xiangyang leaned against the door, frowning more and more.His cell phone beeped for a long time, but Huo Xiaohua still didn't answer the call.

What's the matter?

The small eDonkey is fully charged when driving out, so it will not run out of power halfway.

Is it broken?The kid is lost?

……

Lu Xiangyang was very worried.

The evening light quickly faded away, and the night fell heavily.

Suddenly, a familiar light rushed out from the corner, and the bright white light shone directly on the glass door. Boss Lu almost couldn't open his eyes.

The man was still pressing the horn desperately, making a loud noise.

The voice was very familiar, it was his little eDonkey.

"Xiaohua?!" Lu Xiangyang hurried to the door.

Hearing the movement, he was flustered, as if he was in some trouble.

Xiaohua threw the little eDonkey to the ground at the door of the store, and rushed into the store without caring about where it parked, her braids being loosely pressed by the helmet.

She shouted at Lu Xiangyang in panic: "Someone is chasing me!"

Lu Xiangyang squinted his eyes and saw that there were several motorcycles following behind him, all of which had been modified without permission, with many strange parts added.Even the muffler had been tampered with, the sound of the engine was disturbingly loud, and even the window frames were buzzing and vibrating.

One, two, three, four, four people came down.

Huo Xiaohua's face turned blue from fright, and she shrank behind the workbench, like a shivering little squirrel.

"Hey, you still have somewhere to go." The man walking in the front was wearing a wide vest, and his hair was dyed with a bunch of bright red, which was smeared with hairspray, like a permed rooster.

Lu Xiangyang stopped in front of Xiaohua, staring at them with folded arms: "What are you doing?"

The rooster man ignored him.He saw the egg yolk crisps on the stage from a long distance away. He didn't know whether it was because he was hungry or because he wanted to give Lu Xiangyang a bad impression. He tilted his mouth and acted like a bastard street fighter. He picked up the egg yolk crisps and took a bite. .

He yelled while biting: "I can tell you..."

The egg yolk was so crisp that the meringue fell off, and the plump stuffing poured into his mouth wrapped in the oily egg yolk.

When the temperature is high, the egg yolk is rich in fat, soft and sandy, almost blending with the bean paste, and the taste is excellent.

The rooster man couldn't finish his sentence, and his whole body suddenly fell silent as if a silencer had been installed, and he couldn't even maintain his fierce expression.

He was scalded by the filling of the egg yolk cake, and it was still quite hot.

Lu Xiangyang's hand-fried bean paste has a thick and delicate texture. It looks smokeless, but it can actually store heat very well, and the temperature will not cool down for a while.

"Hold!"

The rooster man's tongue was so hot that he grabbed his motorcycle helmet in anger and slammed it on the table. The three people behind him immediately surrounded him.

The plate of egg yolk crisps was smashed into pieces impartially, and Lu Xiangyang frowned slightly.

The rooster man walked forward step by step eagerly: "Her father doesn't care about it, what do you care about?"

"You're not even his real father." Lu Xiangyang's eyes were cold, and he replied without moving, "What do you care about?"

The air is full of provocation.

"Her father gambled and owed a lot of debt." The rooster man pointed at the half of Huo Xiaohua's head exposed in the corner, and said viciously, "We can't pay it back. Let's ask his daughter for money!"

"Why?" Lu Xiangyang flexed his wrist, and he smiled disapprovingly, "There is a wronged person and a debtor, so go to her father if you have something to do. Don't come to my shop to act wild."

Someone behind the rooster man spoke, with a voice as thick as an old duck: "I advise you not to meddle in your own business. She sold a Kawasaki a while ago, and everyone knows that she has money in her hands, so pay it back!"

Kawasaki, Lu Xiangyang knew, was the racing motorcycle that Xiao Hua drove for her first interview.

"That's my mother's life-saving money!" Xiao Hua gritted her teeth to keep herself from crying, "I don't have such a father!"

"Fuck, you still want to renege on the debt?!" the old duck shouted in a rough voice, and a beer bottle fell straight out of his hand, drawing a faint green parabola in the air, and just hit the work surface with a bang bang.

The shards of glass shattered and shattered, and the loud noise of the impact was accompanied by Xiaohua's terrified scream.

Lu Xiangyang's body tensed up in an instant, he turned over the workbench with one hand, swift and agile, rushed forward like a leopard, and slammed his fist hard on the opponent's face.

The speed was very fast, the rooster man's eyes hadn't moved back from the pile of glass shards, he faced a gust of wind, and before he could react, his nose was bloodied.

Steady and ruthless.

The store exploded.

"Fuck me!"

The rooster man held his nose and took several steps back, blood was all over his face, and the old duck behind him shouted in a broken voice: "Fuck you! Hit me!"

Immediately afterwards, another beer bottle fell from his side, bumped into his face, and hit his forehead squarely, Lu Xiangyang heard a buzzing sound in his ear.

Some dizziness.

Lu Xiangyang hadn't fought for many years.

But it seems that when such a critical moment comes, the physical memory of the body will always be accurately stimulated, without going through the brain at all.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed the rooster man's neck with one hand, bumped against him with his whole body, and raised his leg to hit his waist hard.Hearing the rooster man's scream, he had to squat down in pain, squeezing the people behind him back again and again.

It happened that the old duck was squeezed at the end, and stepped on the steps of the door without paying attention. For a while, the four people pulled each other, slipped and pulled the one in front, and the one in front squeezed the one behind, and lost control in all directions. He fell into a heap and opened the glass door, and fell a dog-eating mud version of an arhat at the door of the store.

The glass door obviously couldn't bear the weight of these people, and there was a rattling sound on the door frame.

Only then did Lu Xiangyang feel that there was some warm liquid hanging down the side of his face, and he raised his hand to wipe it, and it turned out to be blood.

My head hurts suddenly.

The street lamps on the street just shone down, and the warm yellow light spread in front of his small shop.

There was a straight man standing beside the steps, holding a mobile phone at the door.

The light blurred his outline, and Lu Xiangyang couldn't see his face clearly.You can only see the other party's reflective glasses.Lu Xiangyang blinked his eyes, and the sweat fell into his eyes, which were painful and painful.

The old duck got up and wanted to rush up to fight.The standing young man stretched out his hand and showed him the phone. The light on the screen was facing the old duck's face, like a magic mirror, and slowly pushed him back to the original place invisibly.

It is the dial interface.

Lu Xiangyang glanced at it, the number was very short, it should be 110.

The man's nose moved slightly, he turned his face, and said to Lu Xiangyang who was standing on the steps: "Drunk driving, illegal modification, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, can you help Boss Lu to report to the police?"

It was midnight by the time the police were done.

The moon was hidden in the clouds, the leaves on the street were rustling, and the wind was about to blow.

Lu Xiangyang closed his eyes tiredly.

The wind, with Ye Han in it, blatantly blew past his face, and the new wound on his forehead was painfully cut.

The police station was only two streets away from his store, and the two of them walked all the way back without saying much.

He turned his face and saw the tall and straight bridge of the nose with glasses on the man's face, like a straight ridge.

Lu Xiangyang slowed down and whispered to him, "Thank you."

"It's okay." The man looked down at his phone, "You're welcome."

The store has been cleaned - before Lu Xiangyang went to the police station, he sent a message to Qingqing.Sister Qingqing was startled, and drove back to the store to help take care of Huo Xiaohua.

Fortunately, the little girl is fine, but her mental state is a bit poor.

Everything in the store remains the same.Except for the glass door, one of the hinges had been smashed and couldn't close tightly.

I couldn't find a place to fix it in the middle of the night.

Qingqing was particularly careful in her work. The glass shards all over the floor were harvested into a bag, wrapped thickly with tape, and labeled "Glass Danger" with a small label.

At the bottom of the glass was a bag of crumbled meringues.

"Sorry." Lu Xiangyang turned sideways to let the man look at him.There was originally one that belonged to Xiaohua, "I can't give you the egg yolk cake today, so I'll give you a refund."

"Okay." The man opened WeChat in response, "Add friends?"

His WeChat nickname has only one letter: C.

"What's your name?" Lu Xiangyang transferred the money to him, "My name is Lu Xiangyang."

"Zhou Xi." The man pressed the lock screen button of the phone, raised his head again to look at the small blackboard on the wall, "I sent it to you."

Lu Xiangyang looked down.

"Xiao Lu, I'll take Xiao Hua home first." Qingqing walked out of the door with Xiao Hua in her arms, "You can figure it out. I'll help you pick up the trash."

Lu Xiangyang nodded, and he yelled at Xiaohua, "Don't come here tomorrow."

Huo Xiaohua stopped suddenly without looking back.Zhou Xi's eyes followed closely, and he hesitated to speak.

Lu Xiangyang suddenly realized something, and quickly added another sentence: "There is no big work for the time being, you should rest at home. If you are busy, I will call you back to work overtime at any time."

Qingqing turned her head and glared at him.

As soon as the car drove away, it began to rain heavily outside the house.

Boss Lu glanced out the window and said to Zhou Xi, "It's raining, how do you go back?"

The author says:

Today, I am happily chewing, chewing, air-dried beef.

It's delicious and fragrant, but my mouth is so tired and my cheeks are getting stiff.

PS: Zhou Xi is here! ! !
