love of life

When he was half awake, he vaguely heard a knock on the door.He felt sore and weak, and his eyelids were heavy.There were quick knocks on the door, and he slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the sun outside the window had not yet risen, and the sky was already bright.He thought he was hallucinating.He dragged himself out of bed and walked over to open the door.I saw Jiang Yu standing at the door carrying a bag of things.Just like last time, the other party walked straight into the room without waiting for the invitation, and put the bag in his hand on the table.

"If you don't open the door again, I will ask the boss to get the key." Jiang Yu said angrily.

He looked at him with a puzzled look on his side, his face full of doubts.

"Just now I heard from the boss that you came back in the rain last night, and I was worried that you would die of illness in the room."

"I'm not sick." Before he finished speaking, he felt a itching in his throat and couldn't help coughing out.

"Didn't you look in the mirror? What you said is not convincing at all, you know?" After hearing what he said, Lin Zexi reached out and touched his forehead. It felt a little hot, and his cheeks were also flushed.

"What's wrong with you coming so early?"

"Bring you breakfast, eat it while it's hot."

He looked at the breakfast on the table, then at him, and said hesitantly, "But I didn't order takeaway."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, and opened the lunch box. Inside was a piece of porridge and a salted duck egg in a porcelain bowl. "Hurry up and eat it. This is not on the restaurant menu. I saw that the prawns in the market were good in the morning, so I cooked this shrimp and vegetable porridge. The portion is very large."

While hesitating, the other party had already stuffed the spoon into his hand, pulled him to sit on the stool, and placed the porridge in front of him.The steaming porridge, big plump fresh shrimps, fragrant and soft white rice, together with green cabbage and fresh green onions, make people appetite.Looking at the appearance of this porridge, he knew that it must have been boiled over a slow fire for more than an hour, and the other party's sudden kindness caught him off guard. "Then... thank you, how much is this? I'll forward it to you on WeChat." He stood up and wanted to get his phone from the bedside table, and touched the chair with his foot, causing him to frown and snort softly.

"What's wrong with your feet?" Jiang Yu asked looking down at his feet.

"I sprained it last night, it's not serious. I've put ice on it, and it's fine."

"Sit down." Jiang Yu couldn't help but push him on the chair, stretched out his hand to lift up his trousers, and looked at his swollen ankle with displeasure.He skillfully stretched out his hand to press the red and swollen area, and held his foot and turned it around twice before putting it down.

"Fortunately, no bones were injured. You just applied ice? No medicine?"

"No, I planned to go out and buy today."

"Hurry up and drink the porridge first. I'll go out and buy it for you later."

The sudden kindness made him rub his hands, "It's okay, you can go to work, thank you very much. How much? I'll transfer it to you."

"100 million." Jiang Yu answered casually.

"What?" Did he hear wrong?

"You heard me right, it's 100 million." Jiang Yu repeated it clearly.

He stared straight at him, knowing that the other party was joking, but he didn't know how to react.Jiang Yu was not affected by his gaze at all, picked up the salted duck eggs on the table, peeled the shells and placed them in front of him, and said softly, "You're kidding, I won't charge you, eat quickly."

"How can you not charge money? You can't lose money in business." He continued.

"That's 100 million, I won't accept anything less." Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"Can you speak well?"

"Where did I not speak properly? I will answer whatever you ask."

"Okay, let me ask you, you are obviously the owner of the restaurant, why did you insist on not accepting the cash when I gave you it at noon yesterday, and said the boss would not accept cash?"

"Because I want to add you on WeChat." Jiang Yu said honestly.

"You..." The other party's sudden honesty made it difficult for him to resist, so he could only follow the words and ask: "Why did you add me on WeChat?"

Jiang Yu smiled inexplicably, looked down into his eyes and said, "What do you think?"

This time Lin Zexi was absolutely sure that he was being molested.The painting style of this person in front of him is wrong.He quickly moved the stool back a step to keep a distance from him.He said with a dark face: "You take the porridge away, I won't eat it."

Jiang Yu was not in a hurry at all, looked at the porridge in the bowl and said slowly: "But you have already eaten a bite, if you don't finish it, you can only throw it away, it's a pity to waste food. Or do you really want to I ate the rest of the porridge, it's a bit embarrassing, after all, we're not so...intimate." He deliberately paused for two seconds before softly uttering the last two words, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly changed A little embarrassing.

Facing this troublesome person in front of him, Lin Zexi felt that he was powerless to fight, neither could he eat it instantly, nor would he not eat it.When he was at a loss, Jiang Yu broke the silence again, and said seriously: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back to look at the store. I'll bring you medicine in a while, and I'll bring you lunch by the way. Go to bed and lie down after you finish eating." Come on, don't walk around. Your feet need to rest for a few days to recover. Look at what you need to eat, and I'll bring it to you."

"It really doesn't need to be so troublesome. I can order takeaway and run errands. I'm sorry to trouble you like this."

"Don't order takeout for lunch. I'll bring it to you. The takeout is not edible at all." After speaking, he reached out and touched the bed sheet and quilt cover. "I'll ask the boss to come up and change it for you in a while." After speaking, Jiang Yu went to the door go.Opening the door, he turned around and said, "Also, you are not allowed to send me red envelopes on WeChat privately. For the meal last night, I paid for the materials and you for the labor. I shouldn't have charged you. I'm leaving. You eat slowly."

After Jiang Yu left, he didn't feel relaxed at all, and the smell of shrimp porridge remained between his lips and teeth.He glanced at the porridge on the table, and ate it without resisting the temptation of delicious food.He hasn't eaten such fresh shrimp porridge for a long time, except last night, the last time he remembered cooking seemed to have been centuries.Jiang Yu's attitude towards him made him at a loss.From a long time ago, he was the one who kept giving, and he almost forgot what it was like to be taken care of by others.With warm porridge in his mouth, he couldn't help remembering that he had made it for Gu Ming not long ago, but the taste was always bland, not as tempting as Jiang Yu's, and it was unforgettable once he tasted it.He felt a throbbing pain in his heart. These days he deliberately forgot the name, never thought that he would recall it unconsciously.A drop of tear fell down the cheek and fell into the bowl, and emotions surged into my heart. I was so moved by a bowl of porridge. I don't know how he felt when he ate the food he cooked in the past.Maybe not even one percent moved.

He suddenly had a thought, maybe love is irreproducible, a person can only have so much love in a lifetime, he has experienced it, paid too much, there is nothing left, he concluded that he will never fall in love with others in this life.Maybe gratitude, like love, is irreproducible. He didn't have a chance to use it in his previous life, so he was so moved by Jiang Yu's little things to him.If that's the case, how does Gu Ming count?It is undeniable that no matter what the reason was, he always took him in when he was the poorest and helped him integrate into society and regain his confidence.Even most of his current deposits were saved during that time.But why was he not grateful to him?He... doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.

Before eleven o'clock, Jiang Yu came with big bags and small bags.Rice, fruit, mineral water, Yunnan Baiyao spray, cold medicine, an electric kettle and a small bed table.He put the things down, opened the small bed table and set it up on the bed, took out the lunch box and bowls from the bag and placed them on the bed table. "Your feet are inconvenient, so don't get out of bed for the next two days. I made soup for you and two dishes. Try it quickly." He put the spoon into the soup bowl and held it in front of him.

"Thank you." He thanked politely, but did not move.Under his repeated urging, he asked seriously: "Why do you take care of me so much?"

"Isn't it right to take care of those in need?"

"No." He paused for a moment, then continued, "We are not relatives, if you don't make it clear, how can I feel at ease."

"Hey, have you always been this alert? Or do you think this is how society is going down?"

"A lot of beggars come to your restaurant every day, right? Why don't you help them so much?"

"Don't help the poor, do you understand this truth? Why do people who have hands and feet and don't work hard, and rely on begging for a living, help them? Can you be the same as them?"

"Then there is a saying that if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal."

Jiang Yu laughed out loud, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him and said, "Then do you think I'm a rape or a thief?"

The other party's rhetorical question left him speechless.I felt like I dug a hole and jumped in. "My shop is just across the door. It has been open for five years. I live upstairs. Everyone on this street knows me, and the boss also knows that I have been running to your place every day for the past two days. If there is something wrong with me Thoughts, can you still come and go in front of everyone in your own territory? Am I stupid or you are stupid?" He then sighed, and sighed in a serious way: "In this society, it is so difficult to do something good. "

Lin Zexi lowered his head and remained silent, feeling a little guilty for his villainous heart, but he couldn't find the next step.Jiang Yu thought he had read his mind, so he stuffed the spoon into his hand, got up, opened a bottle of mineral water, poured it into the electric kettle, plugged it in and pressed the switch.

"Eat it while it's hot, I'll boil some hot water for you, take some cold medicine in a while, and sleep well."

The sound of the electric kettle boiling water sounded in the room, booming.In less than 2 minutes, the water boiled, and the room fell into silence.Jiang Yu broke the silence at the right time, "It's romantic to travel alone, and it's rare to live alone, but I just can't stand getting sick. This is the truth I've learned over the years. Once a person gets sick, he hopes to have someone by his side, no matter what kind of person that person is." Doing nothing is better than being alone."

"Really? I... I'm used to it, I've always been alone, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it." He said casually.

"You said it all, it's a habit, not a liking. People, it's good to show weakness occasionally, and give others a chance to take care of you and make yourself relaxed."

Lin Zexi didn't speak, but lowered his head to eat.A pork bone soup, a fried spring bamboo shoots with sliced ​​meat, and a scrambled egg with leeks.All three are seasonal home-cooked dishes, fresh and refreshing, with a light taste. "This lettuce tastes so refreshing, without any astringency. Did you also soak it in salt water after blanching?"

"Well, but adding a little rice wine will be even better. Speaking of which, the dishes you cooked last night were very good, have you learned them specifically?"

"No, it's just because I'm interested in it and I'm thinking about it."

"That's about the same as me. Do you plan to stay here for a long time? Are you interested in coming to my shop to help? I can provide you with accommodation, and you don't have to stay in a hotel all the time."

"help?"

"It's just cooking and doing odd jobs. If you are tired, I will give you one day off every week if you feel tired."

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Why do you have so many people? My store is just short of people. You can cook, but now you are idle. I think it's quite appropriate."

He had to admit that Jiang Yu's proposal moved him.He was very excited to start cooking again last night. The moment he picked up the spatula again, he seemed to find himself again, and he began to think about taking cooking as his future career.Thinking of this, an opportunity has come. This kind of luck makes him unbelievable. After all, in the past few years, he has been the one who has not been favored by the goddess of luck.
