The stomach that has never hurt again recently made Chi Xu obediently listen to Zhao Ruihuai's words.

Go downstairs for food.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and many places to eat on the street have closed one after another. Chi Xu walked a long way before finding a noodle restaurant that was still open.

This noodle shop has been open for many years. The place is small, with four tables, and there are only two people in the front hall and the back kitchen. They are still husband and wife. If you love to cook, bring him here to fool around.

After so many years, the store has not changed much, that is, from the original two people to three people.

The couple's daughter has grown up and can help with work, "something"

"beef noodles."

The little girl turned around and took two steps, shouting loudly to the back kitchen, "Daddy's Beef Noodles"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the kitchen, "I'm not deaf, you have such a loud voice."

"I have a small voice and you say you can't hear me. I have a loud voice and you say I have a loud voice. What do you want from me?" The little girl went to the kitchen with her waist in her back to argue, and the voice of the middle-aged woman mixed with doting and pampering immediately sounded , "That's right, you still pick and choose to help you look at the store."

"Are you looking for me?"

"Who is that for?"

A family of three quarreled in the back kitchen, laughing after arguing.

Chi Xu's heart was sour, as if he drank a bowl of old vinegar.

He is a little regretful now, if he had known about it, he would have spent the New Year with Zhao Ruihuai to his death.

It's also strange, obviously I never felt so lonely by myself before.

Mostly in response to the old saying, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

The beef noodles were quickly brought up by a middle-aged woman wearing an apron. She glanced at Chi Xu, turned back to the back kitchen, and brought him another plate of side dishes.

"I didn't want this."

"I know." The middle-aged woman grinned, the corners of her eyes and mouth were wrinkled, she looked like a person who usually smiles, "You are Chi Jun's son, right?"

Chi Xu froze for a moment, "You are"

"I just said that you look so familiar. You and your dad really looked alike when you were young. I remember your dad's eyes were big." She said, suddenly feeling emotional, "Your dad and I are middle school classmates, you He brought you here to eat noodles when you were young, and you have grown up so much in a flash, your parents have been away for a few years."

Parents have spent their long lives here from birth to death. There are eight hundred acquaintances if not one thousand. As long as Chi Xu is recognized as their child, he will inevitably be asked this question, and he can face it calmly. ,"13 years."

"Hey, it's been 13 years." After a short period of sadness, the middle-aged woman asked again, "Then are you married yet?"

Chi Xu shook his head.

She sighed again, "Get married early, your parents can feel at ease over there, you can eat while it's hot, it's not enough to tell auntie."

Chi Xu knew what she meant. After all, he was going out to eat a bowl of beef noodles alone when the new year was approaching. No matter how you looked at it, he was a poor person

But he is not pitiful at all.

Chi Xu took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his lunch and sent it to Zhao Ruihuai.

Zhao Ruihuai replied quickly.

just eat this

The noodle shop is open now

I don't believe it, it's the only noodle shop open near your house, hehe

This is the first time they have been separated from each other since they were together, and it is also the first time they have exchanged messages, so that Chi Xu is very unfamiliar with Zhao Ruihuai's words.

heh heh heh heh

Just as Chi Xu was thinking about it, Zhao Ruihuai sent a three-second voice, with a tender and gentle tone, which made Chi Xu blush, "Do you miss me?"

I miss you

I miss you too, it's so boring to be alone in the old house

Zhao Ruihuai is the same as him.

This realization suddenly made Chi Xu feel better. While sending a message to Zhao Ruihuai, he ate up a large bowl of beef noodles and drank the soup to the bottom.

After coming out of the noodle shop, it was inconvenient to type, so Chi Xu directly dialed Zhao Ruihuai's number.

"Finished"

"Well, I'm very full, what are you doing?"

"Idle is idle, sorting out some information about the Fenglingshan project."

"After the annual vacation is over, we will start preparing for the planning of Fengling Mountain."

Zhao Ruihuai laughed, "Dahe Tourism is still missing, you are in a hurry."

"Synchronizing doesn't affect anything."

"It's too hard, it's better to play steadily."

Before Chi Xu could speak, an old voice suddenly came from the phone, "Master, Master Biao is here, waiting for you downstairs."

Zhao Ruihuai said calmly, "Let him wait for a while."

The so-called Young Master Biao is Zhao Ruihuai's cousin, a typical dude who takes advantage of his family's wealth and power to do evil all day long. However, he and Zhao Ruihuai grew up together and have a very good relationship, so even Chi Xu Wiped his ass too.

"Then go get busy."

"Don't worry, it was he who called me just now and wanted to borrow money from me, let him hang out for a while."

"It's not a loan, he won't pay it back."

"You know quite a lot. I really don't want to borrow him. Use me as a cash machine. One mouthful is 100 million. When you talk about buying a car, you can still buy a car when you have enough cars. Besides, the value of the car will depreciate when you buy it." He said. Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed, "Chi Xu, do you want to buy a car? My cousin still has some connections in this regard, and it can be much cheaper."

Chi Xu said solemnly, "If you buy it, it will depreciate. If I don't buy it, I will wait for the boss to distribute it."

"Haha, I will allocate it when you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Xu touched his warm ears and couldn't help laughing.

Chatting all the way, they all walked downstairs without knowing it.

"Hey, isn't this Chi Xu?"

Chi Xu stopped, and called out in a flat tone, "Aunt Song."

Song Meiqiu didn't care about his indifferent attitude at all, and walked forward enthusiastically, "When did you come back? I told your uncle yesterday that it's time for little Chixu to come back for the New Year. Your uncle also said that there is no one in your house." I can't come back."

The sentence that there is no one at home is really poking into Chi Xu's heart.

But Chi Xu is used to it.

People say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but his neighbors are different.

Song Meiqiu and Chi Xu's mother, Liu Jinghao, are colleagues. They are about the same age, have the same educational background, and look at the same level. They are also in the same unit. They have been compared since they joined the unit, and it is difficult to tell them apart. They were tall and low, but they became close friends who cherished each other. It wasn't until Liu Jinghao married Chi Jun that the balance was broken.

Although Chi Jun is just a small factory leader, when he was young, he was well-known in this area for his good looks, thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall, some savings at home, and a stable job himself. Many girls of the right age wanted to marry him, but Chi Jun's conditions are good, so he is dazzled, and has a blind date with one person on the left and the other person on the right, but he can't settle down for a long time. Song Meiqiu is the last person he went on a blind date before getting married.

At that time, Chi Jun had just met Song Meiqiu not long ago, and felt that she was narrow-minded and didn't want to continue, but when he reached the age of marriage, the family urged him hard, so let him get in touch again, just as a friend, so Chi Jun Invited to the school to find Song Meiqiu.

I don't want to meet Liu Jinghao at the school gate. At that time, Liu Jinghao was not driven crazy by Chi Xu's grades. Overwhelmed, the two quickly established a relationship.

This is a great insult to Song Meiqiu. She thinks that Liu Jing is jealous of her and deliberately ruined her good marriage. Although she doesn't show it on the surface, she holds a grudge against Liu Jing in her heart.

In order to save face, one month after Chi Jun and Liu Jinghao got married, she also got married in a hurry. The gap between the two gradually became apparent, and Liu Jinghao moved into a spacious new building. Every month, I bought a few new sets of clothes, delivered them late at work, and picked them up late after work. The more I went, the more moisturised I was. My colleagues in the work unit said that Liu Jing had found a good husband.

In fact, Song Meiqiu's life is not bad, but she is always compared with Liu Jing, and she feels dissatisfied everywhere. Liu Jing likes to live in a new building, so she lives in the opposite side. What kind of new clothes Liu Jing likes to buy, what kind of new clothes does she want to buy? , Pretending to be sisters, deliberately dislike Liu Jinghao.

Even so, she still couldn't compare. Her mother-in-law was bitter and mean, and made trouble for her all day long, but Chi Xu's grandparents were gentle and generous, treating their daughter-in-law like a daughter. The two became pregnant one after another, leaving one Boy, Chi Xu has been white and cute since he was a child, and his big black eyes are very similar to Chi Jun, but Song Meiqiu's son is dark, thin and ugly, weak and sick, crying all day long.

When Song Meiqiu was in confinement, her mother-in-law said that Chi Xu was so white and tender, and complained that her dark hair was passed on to her children. The two families lived opposite each other, and they could hear clearly when they spoke louder. Life was better than bad. , I can't hide it even if I want to, the hatred in Song Meiqiu's heart is getting deeper day by day.

Knowing that Chi Jun and Liu Jinghao passed away in a car accident, Song Meiqiu felt relieved all over, feeling that the resentment that had been nestled in her chest for more than ten years had finally come out.

She thought, deserve it, who let you buy a car, who let you take your children out to play, who let you have two money to show off all day long.

It's a pity that her paranoia didn't end with Liu Jinghao's death. She was used to comparisons. After Liu Jinghao died, she compared her child with Chi Xu. Sensible, her grades are getting better every day, and she is not happy anymore, but whenever she sees Chi Xu, she will definitely stimulate him by pretending, both at home and at school.

She is a teacher, she sympathizes with Chi Xu, pity Chi Xu, the students naturally follow suit, there are things that cannot be eaten, and extra stationery will be donated to Chi Xu who has no parents.

The hearts of the students are good, but to Chi Xu, that is a kind of terrible pity.

They regard Chi Xu as a stray dog ​​abandoned by its owner.

Thanks to Song Meiqiu's blessing, Chi Xu's three years in junior high school were "wonderful". Even though he grew up and had already let go of many things, he still couldn't greet Song Meiqiu with a smile.

Song Meiqiu seemed to be unable to feel his emotions, and kept talking, "Your parents are the same, it would be great to have another child back then, you said that when you go home now, the house is empty, and you feel so uncomfortable , Chinese New Year is all by myself, by the way, this time I will stay until the first day when I come back this time."

"Second year of junior high school."

"It's okay to leave so early. It's boring to stay at home. It's better to go to work early. You're still a secretary now."

Chi Xu glanced at her, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Yeah, the car will be assigned after the Chinese New Year. How is Brother Jiawen's work?"

Song Meiqiu was silent for a moment.

Her son Li Jiawen has been unable to find a good job after graduating from university. He receives a monthly salary of over two thousand and has to rely on family subsidies.

Only then did Chi Xu smile sincerely, those long-gone grievances are just trivial things to him now, and he doesn't want to waste time fussing with Song Meiqiu, but it doesn't mean he allows Song Meiqiu to make him unhappy.

Seeing Chi Xu's "taunting" smile, Song Meiqiu became impatient, and the menopausal woman's words became more and more irrelevant, "What's the matter with allocating a car? How much is a car worth now? Only a house in the capital can be considered capable." .”

"Oh, you don't need to allocate the house, it's better to buy it yourself and live in it more comfortably." Chi Xu had already reached the door, and he leaned over to unlock the lock and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the houses now are one floor to one, and there is no Song Dynasty. Auntie is such a warm-hearted neighbor."

After returning home and closing the door, Chi Xu waited quietly for a moment, when there was a sharp and piercing shout from the opposite door.
