How can a thousand crematoriums be enough?

After following the little girl for a while, the street became narrower and narrower, until it even turned into an alley.Passing through the alley, some houses finally came into view.

The houses are all low and small, close together.The walls are pitted, and the wall dust is almost gone.The ground was also uneven, with damp moss spreading on the steps, and water still accumulated in several places.

Yu Mao made a comparison, and thought that every toilet in his house was bigger than this one.

"Mom, I'm back!" The little girl walked to a house and threw herself into the arms of a woman who was picking vegetables.

"Xiao Yu, why did you come back now? Where did you go to play?" The woman wiped the water off her hands and gently wiped away a gray mark on Xiao Yu's face.

Xiao Yu giggled and pointed to Yu Mao's location, "Mom, I met a very good big brother today, and he came with me."

Only then did the woman notice Yu Mao standing at the door, and she couldn't help being taken aback.

This boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very good-looking, but what the woman noticed was Yu Mao's attire.

From schoolbags to clothes and shoes, there are all famous brands that she can only see on TV.That pair of shoes alone is estimated to be enough for their family's expenses for several years.

Why would such a person come to such a shabby place like theirs?

There are many people doing various things at the door of the surrounding houses, including women, men, old people, and children.

At this moment, those people all stopped their work and looked at Yu Mao. The adults were curious about how such a young man would come to such a place, but the children were attracted by the bag in Yu Mao's hand.

The woman stood up quickly, wiping her hands nervously on the apron. "That, may I ask who you are?"

Ignoring the woman's embarrassment, Yu Mao put the bag in his hand on the stone platform next to him, "I'll put the snacks here for you, you can ask people to eat together while it's hot."

Xiao Yu was very happy, "Thank you big brother."

As he said that, Xiao Yu looked at the children around him, "Everyone, come here quickly, big brother bought something delicious."

The children were hungry for a long time, and they all ran over when they heard this.

One of the little boys touched a bag, and was about to pick it up, when he thought of something, he looked at Yu Mao again, "Big brother, can we really eat these?"

Those dark eyes were full of longing, but his hand didn't continue to move, but asked Yu Mao again.

"If you can't eat it, why did I bring it all the way here? If you want to eat it, eat it, don't talk nonsense." Yu Mao's tone was very impatient, and the adults around even mentioned it, but the children didn't think so much, Qiqi After cheering, I started to pick my favorite.

Seeing that the children had started to eat, Xiao Yu's mother walked over to Yu Mao.Facing the gazes of the surrounding parents, he spoke again, "Thank you for buying snacks for the children."

Originally, as an elder, a woman would not be so careful with a young man.But life has long taught them that in the face of reality, everything is imaginary, and they must bow their heads when they should bow their heads.Especially the young man in front of him is not a child of an ordinary family at first glance. If he makes the other party unhappy, there may be consequences.

Yu Mao took out his phone and checked the time. It was already 06:30, and the school's evening self-study started at [-]:[-].

Of course, he didn't plan to go to any evening self-study.

"I didn't buy it for them, I just don't like to eat it." Yu Mao turned to leave, and when she saw that the woman was about to show him off, she waved her hand, "It's not that I don't know the way, what to give."

The woman's movements froze all of a sudden, the tone of the young man in front of her was always impatient, and she was not sure if the other party was unhappy.

On the other hand, Xiao Yu, when he heard that Yu Mao was leaving, he was quite reluctant, "Big brother, you haven't eaten yet, or you can eat at our house, my mother cooks delicious food."

"Xiao Yu!" The woman was taken aback. How could someone like a boy value their food here. "Big brother has a place to eat, so don't make things difficult for him."

Xiao Yu pursed her lips, her eyes were a little disappointed, she really liked this big brother.

"OK then......"

Only then did the woman breathe a sigh of relief, "Xiao Yu, be good."

But Yu Mao suddenly said, "I happen to have no place to eat, so it's okay if I have one more."

He said the question, but it was in an unquestionable tone, and there was no chance for the woman to refuse.

"Wow!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up immediately, "That's great, big brother wants to stay for dinner!"

Excitedly ran to Yu Mao's side, looked up at Yu Mao, "Brother, let me tell you, my mother's cooking is really delicious, especially my mother's braised pork, I can eat a piece of it every time." Big bowl."

Speaking of which, Xiaoyu swallowed her saliva, and smiled embarrassedly, "But our family only eats braised pork during the Chinese New Year. Why don't you eat it again during the Chinese New Year? I'll share half of the bowl with him."

Yu Mao looked at Xiaoyu's innocent little face, and then at the woman's eyes, which were a little bit reproachful but still doting and helpless, and was dazed for a moment.

In his memory, no one has ever seen him like this.

There were only the scolding of the father's severe dissatisfaction, the attitude of the elder brother's indifference, and the flattery of everyone.

Subconsciously reached out and patted Xiao Yu's head. Although the movements were still stiff, they were already much gentler.

"Do you want to eat braised pork?"

Xiao Yu answered Yu Mao with a 'Gu Dong' voice.

The corners of his lips curled up, "It happens that I want to eat too, so let's go buy some meat."

Yu Mao found a food delivery provider on his mobile phone, then squatted down and put the screen in front of Xiao Yu, "Look, there is something you want to eat."

Just as Xiao Yu wanted to order, she withdrew her hand again, "Big brother, my hands will dirty your phone, so don't order."

The women watching from the side breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiao Yu accidentally broke the phone, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

Yu Mao didn't care, so he clicked on it casually.

After placing the order for a while, a call came, saying that the alley cars here couldn't get in, and there were too many dishes to transport, so Yu Mao was asked to go out and move it by himself.

"Moving in, five hundred per person." Yu Mao leaned against the stone platform and said lazily.

The woman was startled, "It's better for me to move it, don't spend money."

Five hundred per person, what kind of concept is this?Anyway, women dare not even think about it.

"Are you going to move? Then when will I have to wait." Yu Mao listened to the voice of moving the vegetables on the other end of the phone, and said lazily again, "I will give a thousand to whoever arrives first."

Suddenly, the voice on the other end became louder.

Yu Mao hung up the phone and looked at Xiaoyu beside him, "What other delicious dishes does your mother cook, tell me."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yu bit her thumb, "Mom's fish is also delicious, and so are the shrimp."

"But my mother is also very good at cooking vegetables." Xiao Yu smiled, "I don't really like vegetables, but my mother can always cook vegetables to my favorite taste, and then I can eat them."

Yu Mao and Xiao Yu chatted alternately, and soon those people who moved the vegetables came in.

The first person who came into the alley was full of excitement, and put the vegetable basket in front of Yu Mao, "Hello, is this the vegetable you bought?"

Yu Mao was the only one here who seemed to be able to pay the money, so it was no surprise that the other party came straight here.

Yu Mao responded, "Put the dishes in the house and give me the phone number."

The person quickly put the food in, and then opened the payment code, only to hear a beep, and there was an extra 1000 yuan in the account.

The man's face turned red with excitement, and he actually earned so much just by moving a dish. He was really lucky to receive this order today.

Although the people behind were a little regretful that they didn't get the first place, they were still very happy when they received the [-] yuan. When they left, they still greeted Yu Mao, "Remember to call us again next time."

The woman just watched in a daze as Yu Mao paid [-] yuan, their monthly income.

"Can I cook?" Yu Mao looked at the woman.

"Yes, yes." The woman quickly responded and went back to the house.

In fact, her previous dishes have been washed and ready to be cooked, but now that the boy wants to eat, she can no longer cook those vegetables and radishes.

Seeing the four full baskets of vegetables, the woman was unconsciously stunned for a moment. The three full baskets were filled with all kinds of meat, including a lot of seafood.

While cooking was going on inside, Yu Mao was standing outside playing with his mobile phone, and the curious scrutiny of the people around him didn't affect him in the slightest.

Shi Shuyi seemed to have escaped his father's pursuit and bombarded him with text messages.It was all nonsense, Yu Mao didn't even bother to answer it.

"Father!" Xiao Yu had been obediently standing next to Yu Mao, but suddenly ran away.

Yu Mao looked up and saw a middle-aged man.

"This is?" As soon as the man came back, he saw a young man who was dressed out of place and hugged Xiao Yu's hand.

"This is the big brother, I met today." Xiao Yu sat on the man's arm and introduced him with a smile.

"Big brother bought me delicious food and vegetables for us. He wants to stay at our house for dinner."

The man listened to Xiaoyu's left and right sentences, and roughly understood what happened. He smiled at Yumao honestly, "Well, thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu. You must have a good meal tonight. My wife's cooking is really delicious. .”

Yu Mao responded lightly, "It's not so much about taking care of her, it's just doing what she wants."

"It's time to eat." A woman's voice came from the house, Xiao Yu jumped out of the man's arms, and grabbed Yu Mao's clothes, "Brother, let's go eat quickly."

"Row."

It wasn't until he actually stepped into the house that Yu Mao fully realized how small it was.There are dozens of square meters of space, and it can be divided into various uses.

The four baskets of vegetables made the already crowded house even more empty, and Yu Mao even had the illusion that it was going to be squashed.

Sitting down at the table, Yu Mao looked at the dishes on the table.A full table was set up, with the braised pork, fish and shrimp that Xiaoyu had mentioned, and many other dishes.Presumably the woman also put in a lot of effort to finish cooking the dishes within such a period of time.

Picking up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, Yu Mao took a bite and paused.

The woman and the man who had been paying attention to Yu Mao suddenly became nervous. Could it be that they didn't like each other?That's right, people like teenagers must eat the dishes of those restaurants, how can they eat such simple food.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mao quickly put the remaining half of the meat into his mouth.Although it doesn't look like much on the surface, it's not annoying in terms of actions.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Mao carefully chewed the braised pork in his mouth, feeling a little absent-minded.

Is this home-cooked food? Although the taste is completely incomparable with restaurants, it has a unique taste.There is no detailed seasoning, but it has a strong breath of life.

Seeing the woman put a piece of fish into the rain bowl, Yu Mao's eyes darkened.

People like this are called family members, and what he has there are only blood relatives.

Yu Mao didn't eat much for this meal, but he tried every dish.During the period, the two adults felt very strange, because Yu Mao's temperament combined with such a scene always made people feel a little inconsistent.

After the meal, Mao Yu checked the time again, it was already past eight o'clock.He actually stayed here for nearly two hours.

"Brother, wait!"

Yu Mao had already reached the entrance of the alley, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yu running over panting, holding something in his hands.

"This is a small basket that I wove myself, and gave it to my elder brother."

Yu Mao then looked at the basket under the dim light. It was a small basket woven with some grass stems and vines, which was quite pretty.

Taking it casually, Yu Mao patted Xiao Yu's head again, "I want it, you can go back."

"Well, goodbye, big brother." Xiao Yu watched Yu Mao leave reluctantly, but soon laughed again.

I am really happy to meet my big brother today. This big brother is as good as Yan brother. It would be even better if I can introduce two big brothers to each other someday.
