Yu Liangmu

"Put some salt...it's a bit too little, or half a spoonful... Ha, fortunately, there is a pot that hasn't fried chili... Well, make a gorgon... Where did the freshly sliced ​​meat go? Oh oh Here it is! Look at my memory..."

In the restaurant's kitchen, You Liangmu was vigorously shaking the pot while thinking about it, the vegetables in the pot were rolling up and down, the seasoning was sprinkled, and the juice was poured on it.

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, there was a little nervousness on his face, a little excited.

Sister Ye'er next to her saw it, and felt that her boss was very different from usual, he looked abnormal and had a brain-destroying appearance, and felt tense as if he was facing an enemy.

When she was helping out just now, she saw You Liangmu greeting a very handsome customer. The customer's appearance and temperament were very unusual, and she exuded a noble air that was incompatible with the people around her.

The point is, the back and forth eye contact between him and her boss...

Very subtle!Something is wrong!

The gossip soul of the middle-aged woman was burning, and she asked You Liangmu with a smile, "Boss, who is that you outside? An acquaintance?"

"He...he..." You Liangmu paused for a long time, but he didn't say why.

He didn't know how to define Tang Yunqian. He had known each other for many years, but it was difficult to use an appropriate term to sum up the relationship between himself and Tang Yunqian.

In the end, the man could only vaguely say, "He is my former creditor."

Sister Ye'er was surprised when she heard that: "Creditor? Boss, you are so rich, and you still need someone to borrow money?"

"I used to be very poor, and he lent me a lot of money. When I was in trouble, I relied on him for help." You Liangmu was full of thoughts, and there was a melancholy in his words that others couldn't understand, "Although he is my His benefactor, but I have also had a lot of quarrels with him, quarreling... Well, this matter is a bit complicated."

Sister Ye'er was quite surprised, she didn't expect her boss to be a poor person before, but when you think about it carefully, You Liangmu is usually very frugal in food and clothing, budgeting carefully, and there is really no sign of a rich person.

"I thought you, boss, were not short of money."

Sister Ye'er is Chef Li's wife. When the spicy restaurant first opened, You Liangmu heard from Chef Li that his wife had a car accident a few years ago, which caused problems with her legs and feet, and she was fired by an unscrupulous factory owner. You can only take the children at home.

Without further ado, You Liangmu asked Chef Li to bring his wife here and arrange to work in the store. He usually does odd jobs to help the kitchen, and he can get a pretty good salary, so Sister Yeer always thought that You Liang Mu has a lot of spare money, and their family is grateful to You Liangmu.

In fact, You Liangmu doesn’t think it’s a favor. He has suffered in life before, and he can best understand how hard it is for ordinary people to support their families. What he did was just a little effort, just like he also received someone’s favor back then. .

As for the money, it is best to use it for something, such as helping others.

You Liangmu put the freshly fried dish aside, changed another pot, and started to fry the second dish.

He was going to make some special dishes for Tang Yunqian.

The man tossed the sliced ​​lettuce into the stir-fry, and laughed while tossing the pot, "I wasn't born rich either. In this day and age, it's just luck."

"what?"

"The God of Wealth has suddenly taken a fancy to me."

Sister Ye'er didn't quite understand, but she knew vaguely that his boss seemed to be a very lucky person, the kind that everyone yearned for...

Get rich overnight.

*

You Liangmu fried shredded chicken with three delicacies, beef with broccoli, and vermicelli with mixed vegetables. They are all ordinary home-cooked dishes.

The man brought out the steaming dishes, filled a big bowl full of white rice, and placed it in front of Tang Yunqian.

"Uh... eat it while it's hot."

Tang Yunqian's eyebrows were obscured by the lingering heat, so he didn't move his chopsticks for a while, and slightly raised his head to ask, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"No," You Liangmu rubbed his apron.The store was so busy that he didn't even take a sip of water.

"Then...together?" Tang Yunqian seemed to be asking for the other party's opinion, but he also made an excuse naturally, "You have cooked a bit too much. If I only eat this portion, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

Yu Liangmu hesitated for a while.

In Tang Yunqian's eyes, such You Liangmu was neither enthusiastic nor cold, but treated him with a very ordinary way of hospitality, but this inevitably caused a huge gap between him and the state of mind back then.

But he didn't put pressure on You Liangmu, but gently considered the other party's thoughts, "If you are busy, go ahead and leave me alone."

You Liangmu didn't move, he suddenly remembered that the last meal he had with him was four years ago, the light and shadow flickered, time passed really fast.Now he can really sit down and treat each other as equals, and have a meal without psychological burden, which is something he never thought of before.

At this time, Sister Ye'er passed by and agreed, "Boss, you've been tired all morning, and it's time for dinner anyway, so you can eat with your friends."

"Hey...then, let me rest for a while," You Liangmu replied, as if he had been waiting for someone to give him a pole for him to climb along.

The man took off his apron logically, went to get a clean set of bowls and chopsticks, sat on the seat opposite Tang Yunqian, and picked each other with his left and right hands.

"Thank you for sitting down and taking the time to have this meal with me. I...I've thought about it for a long time," Tang Yunqian said suddenly, as if he regarded the other party's behavior as a favor.

"Let's eat," You Liangmu's face was hot, and he hesitated for a few seconds before he said vaguely to Tang Yunqian, "...Brother Gan."

Because of this long-lost address, Tang Yunqian could hardly control the trembling of his hands, "Okay."

Youliangmu's craftsmanship has not changed, and it still has an unpretentious flavor, full of fireworks, like an ordinary meal cooked in an ordinary home.

He remembered the taste of Tang Yungan, which was a lingering memory engraved in his mind, and he subconsciously knew how much salt and sugar he should put.

Tang Yunqian tasted a few mouthfuls, but the hand holding the chopsticks was not as steady as it seemed. He looked down at the dishes in the bowl of rice, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eye sockets. It seems that the spicy smell in this restaurant is quite irritating to the eyes.

His eyes trembled slightly, his teeth were clenched tightly, and when he raised his head again, he had already restrained his expression. He glanced around the decoration of the shop for a week, and he could tell that this was the style arranged by You Liangmu himself.

The wallpaper is very warm beige, and the wooden tables and chairs are of natural texture. There are two bunches of hot peppers hanging in the conspicuous corners of the store, which are dried in the sun. These little red peppers decorate the environment, which is very elegant.

"The decoration in the store is very good." The man commented sincerely, his tone usually resembled a friend who was invited to a new store as a guest, rather than a high-ranking person.

You Liangmu was stunned, Tang Yunqian has always been a person with great taste, since he said it was good, it was really good.

Even though it was just a few words, he was very happy to be recognized by the other party, and instantly felt that his day and night decoration life, personally creating every detail of the store, was a little tiring, but it was still worth it.

"Hey...it's just average." The man's face was a little ruddy, and he said modestly, "I picked this tile myself, the texture is non-slip, and the color of the wallpaper is pretty nice. I also considered another color, but I was afraid of getting dizzy. , so in the end I decided on the current one... er, and I also chose the wooden table and wooden chairs, which are very durable..."

The man chattered a lot, and shared his decoration experience with Tang Yunqian. After he finished talking, he felt that he was a little talkative, and he was so beautiful that he couldn't find his way after being praised.

Until he found out that Tang Yungan hadn't spoken, nor had he eaten with his chopsticks, but just looked at him quietly, with a slight smile on his lips.

You Liangmu's face burned, and he waved his hands, "Hey... I said too much, you should eat quickly, or the food will be cold."

Tang Yunqian obeyed his words unconditionally, moved his chopsticks again, and said while eating: "We haven't seen each other for so long, almost four years."

"That's right...it's a surprise to see you again, haha." You Liangmu laughed dryly, beating his heart.

Tang Yunqian's heart hasn't been as lively as it is at this moment for a long time, but the tone on his mouth sounds as normal as possible, "Really."

None of them seemed to mention the original incident, including those complicated entanglements, and leaving without saying goodbye. In the end, they just had lunch together in such an ordinary way, and occasionally chatted about the recent situation.

It's not that I don't remember, but if I mention it, I'm afraid this meal will be wasted.

Of course, You Liangmu is also curious about how the other party has lived in the past four years. Is he like himself, in the countless boring times in the past, in order to pass the extra time, he will spare some brain capacity to think about what the other party is doing?

Then I feel extremely contradictory that I shouldn't think about these things.

If you want to ask him what kind of feelings he has for Tang Yunqian in the past few years, he will definitely not be able to answer, because he feels that after being hurt by the other party for a few rounds, he has gone far away and has no more affection for him. It's a shame.

During this period, it wasn't just this simple ingredient, there was also some hatred and resentment mixed in more or less.

A person is lonely in a foreign country. Once he is lonely, he is prone to a lot of bad emotions. In those sleepless nights alone, he will be overwhelmed by the past events, making him think a lot.

Once upon a time, on some ordinary nights, there was a magnified hatred for Tang Yunqian.

He didn't forget why he left in the first place. When he hated and resented the most, he was thinking that he would rather remember Tang Yungan with hatred for the rest of his life than fade his memory and forget him.

Even I am in pain, riddled with holes, bleeding and festering.

He thought that Tang Yunqian was as miserable as him, or a thousand times, ten thousand times more miserable than him, that he would taste the feeling of having no one to rely on and being homeless, and suffer the torment and pain of life.

In fact this is impossible.

It is impossible for Tang Yunqian to be a poor man forever, so he can only be a rich man, to experience Tang Yunqian's taste and enjoy everything Tang Yunqian has at his fingertips.

As the days passed, You Liangmu, who could not be a qualified rich man, was relieved slowly. At the same time, he also found that it was difficult for him to hate or resent someone for a long time, and his anger towards Tang Yunqian also faded and subsided.

Gradually, I can understand and understand that it seems that I really can't force a person who is very different from me to treat everything in the way I think about things and deal with problems.

People are always different.Judging a person has to be objective and consider many aspects.

Looking back over the years, the good Tang Yunqian has done to him is many times more than the bad things he has done to him. Just because Tang Yunqian did one bad thing, all the good things this person has done for him cannot be offset.

And the moments when I love Tang Yunqian very much are actually much more than the moments when I hate it.

Thinking about it, You Liangmu realized when he became so tolerant. It seems that his brain is really not suitable for thinking.

"When did you return home?"

Tang Yunqian's peaceful question ran into You Liangmu's ears, telling him to stop being in a daze.

You Liangmu came back to his senses, "Just a few months ago."

"After you came back... have you thought about contacting me?"

"what."

"Have you thought about it?"

You Liangmu was stunned by this sudden question, a little flustered, so he mumbled haha, "I'm not free, I'm busy... The new store is opening, and it's busy inside and out, hey, open the store There are a lot of things...decoration, product selection, and recruitment, so busy that I don’t even have time to go to the bathroom.”

He spoke hastily to hide his guilty conscience of lying.

A gloomy disappointment flashed in Tang Yunqian's eyes, but he acted as if he believed You Liangmu's words: "I know you are busy, so I came to visit you."

"Hey."

Some words cannot be uttered, and an unspeakable atmosphere flows between the two, and everything left and accumulated in the past secretly surges.

Tang Yunqian had to adjust his breathing several times, trying to digest his tormenting heart.

They were eating hot meals, and Tang Yunqian no longer lost his appetite as usual. He tried silently, and gave You Liangmu two pieces of meat, showing his affection in a way that the other party did not reject, and slowly drew closer.

"You opened the store, and I didn't send you an opening flower basket, so I will make up for it later."

You Liangmu paused, but still took it with a bowl naturally, without any special reaction, "Thank you...you have a heart."

Although he vaguely feels that Tang Yunqian still has old thoughts about him, otherwise he would not come to him, but at the same time he also knows that men are fickle. Four years can be short or long, and it is enough for a person to be calm. Tang Yunqian said no. It must have faded away from him early on.

Thinking of it this way, he felt more relaxed, and there was no restraint in chatting.Tang Yunqian asked him how he was doing abroad, and he told the truth.

"It's neither good nor bad," You Liangmu smiled brightly, "but compared to before, it must be much better, at least you don't have to worry about money."

Tang Yunqian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"When I first went abroad, I really didn't get used to any place. I couldn't understand the language, and I couldn't get along well with my mother. But after that, life gradually became smoother, and it wasn't difficult. At least the material conditions were much richer than before. Compared with the shabby shitty days from childhood to adulthood, these four years can be regarded as enjoyment."

"That's good," Tang Yunqian just kept repeating, with deliberately concealed bitterness.

It can be seen that the current You Liangmu has no burden in his heart, which means that You Liangmu can live well without him, no, it should be said...

You Liangmu would be better off without him.

Youliangmu no longer needs him, and no longer depends on him.

You Liangmu was indeed treating Tang Yunqian with the attitude of just treating an old friend, and asked him indifferently: "What about you? Brother Gan, I see that you have lost weight, but you should be living smoothly, right?"

Tang Yunqian said "um", smiled bitterly, and said, "It's okay."

The man's hand unconsciously reached into the coat pocket, and tightened the ring that had been worn for four years.

Every day... looks okay.

Just, it seems.
