When Bai Yi got up, he didn't see Zhang Li by his side, and there was no residual warmth on the bed. He closed his eyes slightly, and felt that Zhang Li should have left. He was a little tired, and at the same time a little depressed. In the relationship, his charm has never hit a wall.

Just when Bai Yi was about to go back to sleep, the sound of the door opening sounded.

Bai Yi's eyes widened in an instant. He sat up from the bed and smelled the sweet smell of soybean milk.

Bai Yi stepped on the ground with bare feet, only to realize that the bamboo floor under his feet was not the bamboo floor he was familiar with, so Bai Yi stuffed his feet into slippers again.

Bai Yi stood up, turned around and saw Zhang Li standing at the door.

"I went to buy breakfast." Zhang Li's face was expressionless, but his voice was very soft, with a bit of flattery on display.

Bai Yi rubbed his hair. He took the water cup and toothbrush to the window sill to brush his teeth. There was still water in the kettle, which was just enough for him to wash in the morning. By the way, what time did you get up in the morning?"

Zhang Li opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Six o'clock."

Bai Yi yawned: "It's really early."

After Bai Yi finished washing, the two sat face to face and had breakfast. The fried dough sticks and soy milk were still hot and crispy.

"What are your plans today?" Bai Yi took a bite of the fried dough stick and made a crisp sound, "It's hard to rest."

Zhang Li: "There's something wrong."

Bai Yi nodded, and didn't ask the bottom line, he just said: "Be careful."

Zhang Li didn't speak, he drank the last sip of soy milk, and waited for Bai Yi to wash the dishes after finishing eating.

Bai Yi found that Zhang Li was not a difficult person to get along with. Although he was reticent and looked gloomy and irritable, during this time together, Bai Yi had never seen Zhang Li lose his temper, nor had he seen him get along with others. fight.

More like a lack of affection.

He doesn't have the ability to love, he can't feel sadness or sadness, he is not immersed in his own life.

"Is there something in the morning or in the afternoon?" Bai Yi looked at Zhang Li packing up the dishes, and said with a smile, "If you have something in the afternoon, you can still try my handicraft at noon."

Bai Yi said again: "My cooking is delicious, everyone who has tasted it said so."

Zhang Li pursed his lips, lowered his head, and asked in a flat tone: "Have you cooked for many people?"

Bai Yi went to the window sill to light a cigarette, then turned his head and said, "It's not too much, there's not enough time, what's the matter? Don't you believe that my cooking is delicious?"

He smiled, looking very gentle in the morning light shining in from the window.

But this tenderness is not unique to a certain person.

Zhang Li looked away.

Zhang Li took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean. At this time, someone was cooking in the kitchen. When Zhang Li came in, the person who was cooking stopped subconsciously. He was relieved when he saw Zhang Li went straight to the sink.

The cook was a middle-aged woman. She remembered what she heard in the bathroom last night. She hesitated for a moment, and felt that Zhang Li was not that scary. He neither beat her, nor scolded her, nor robbed her. money.

Apart from being a little colder and having more scars on his body, there seemed to be no other problems.

"You, are you here to wash the dishes?" The woman hesitated for a few seconds, and finally opened her mouth with difficulty.

Zhang Li didn't answer, he was washing the dishes amidst the sound of water, the wound on his arm had healed, and there was another hideous scar on his arm which was already full of scars.

The middle-aged woman thought that Zhang Li hadn't heard, and said, "You and that new young man are..."

She didn't say everything.

Until Zhang Li left with the clean dishes and chopsticks, the women stood still, motionless.

She had a terrified look on her face, panting uncontrollably, her fear made her lose her strength, and she sat limply on the ground.

It was just a glance by Zhang Li.

The woman recalled Zhang Li's gaze just now, which was vicious, and she shivered.

Zhang Li walked in the corridor, he didn't care about what others thought of him, the way the neighbors looked at him, or what he said behind his back.

None of it matters, nothing matters.

He will neither be happy nor suffer from it.

"What are we doing in the morning?" Bai Yi saw Zhang Li coming in, and asked relaxedly and naturally, "I have to go after nine o'clock to buy vegetables."

Bai Yi said again: "Why don't we go out for a walk? Is there a clothing store open at this point? I'm going to buy some clothes and a pair of shoes."

Zhang Li: "Yes."

Bai Yi stood up, he took off his pajamas, changed into clothes for going out, and put on his shoes.

When turning around, Bai Yi found that Zhang Li was looking at him.

There seemed to be whirlpools in those black eyes, and at that moment Boyi felt goosebumps all over his body.

Not a malicious look.

But it made Boyi feel uncomfortable, and even stopped breathing for a few seconds.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yi touched his face and asked with a smile, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Zhang Li lowered his head again and narrowed his gaze: "It's nothing."

Bai Yi suppressed the momentary panic: "Then let's go."

He opened the door and stepped out.

Zhang Li followed behind him.

The shops on the street at this point are only open for a small part, most of them are breakfast shops, clothing stores are usually open from 07:30 to [-]:[-], there are not many people on the street, young and middle-aged people are busy with work, unemployed The homeless people have not yet woken up at this time, only the elderly are walking on the street, stopping to say hello and chatting when they meet acquaintances.

The widest street in the county is also narrow in Bai Yi's eyes. The bright and spacious store is as crowded as a wholesale market, full of clothes, and even the fitting room has only a small wooden door. Behind the door is the small warehouse of the clothing store.

Bai Yi didn't plan to try on clothes, he only bought one-size-fits-all short-sleeves, he didn't bother to try on clothes, and he didn't buy suits for meeting people and doing business, so he didn't need to be too particular.

He didn't go into the leather shoe store and was going to buy a pair of sneakers.

"Try it too." Bai Yi handed Zhang Li a pair of black sneakers.

Zhang Li subconsciously took the shoes and looked down at the shoe size: "How do you know what size shoes I wear?"

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I have a pair of observant eyes, put it on and try it."

These are the shoes Bai Yi chose for him.

Zhang Li sat on a chair beside him and took off his almost invisible shoes that were patched with glue.

Just right.

Bai Yi smiled: "Go for a walk and see if you feel comfortable."

This pair of shoes is just brought out by the boss, and no one has tried it yet.

Zhang Li seemed a little at a loss as to what to do, he walked around the store with a bitter expression on his face.

"Is it comfortable?" Bai Yi waited for Zhang Li to stop and asked, "Is the size too big or too small?"

Zhang Li had a strange expression, and looked down at his toes: "It's just right."

Bai Yi: "Then this pair."

The boss said enthusiastically: "The quality of my shoes here is good! After several years of wearing, they are as good as new ones."

Bai Yi: "You can get me a pair of size 42 again, it's still this style."

The boss laughed so hard that his teeth came out, and hurried in to find the shoes.

Bai Yi also joked with Zhang Li: "If you wear the same shoes, maybe others will think you are my younger brother."

Zhang Li: "Not like."

Bai Yi didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Zhang Li showed no expression: "We don't look like brothers."

Bai Yi rubbed his chin, concealing his embarrassment: "It's really not very similar, there is no younger brother who is taller than his elder brother."

After Bai Yi tried the shoes, he was about to pay, but found that Zhang Li had already paid the money first.

When the two of them walked to the street, Bai Yi asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Zhang Li looked ahead: "There is still a little left."

Bai Yi felt strange, but couldn't figure out where the strangeness was.

Zhang Li: "Go to the vegetable market?"

Bai Yi suppressed the strange feeling, nodded and said, "Let's go to the nearby vegetable market. Do you like salty, sweet, or spicy food?"

The vegetable market in Bai Yi's imagination should be that each merchant has a separate sales booth, and the floor is also a concrete floor. The crowd is bustling, but it is not messy. After all, he buys vegetables in large fresh supermarkets, and he knows this The vegetable market in the [-]s was definitely not comparable to a supermarket, but when he really set foot in the market, he didn't know how to set foot in it.

——There is no sales booth, and no concrete floor.

The ground has been trampled black and covered with sewage. There are many sources of sewage, such as vegetable washing water, meat washing water, and stinky internal organs on the ground, which are constantly attracting flies.

The only thing that fit his vision was the bustling crowd.

Vegetable peddlers are sitting on the pony, and there are bamboo baskets with vegetables in them on the ground in front of them. There are also no bamboo baskets, and a layer of bags for fertilizer is placed on the ground, and the vegetables can be sold as soon as they are placed.

Only the butchers have special counters, but the counters are covered in blood.

"What do you want to buy?" Zhang Li asked Bai Yi outside the market, "You wait here, I'll go buy it."

Bai Yi's hands slowly clenched into fists. He tried hard to suppress the urge to nausea, and said with a smile, "No, let's go together."

After saying this, Bai Yi took a step and stepped into the vegetable market, an environment that he would never set foot in in his life.

The vegetable buyers bargained with the street vendors, and the vegetable market was full of voices, and the whispers could not be heard clearly, so they could only shout loudly.

Zhang Li walked beside Bai Yi, and he always looked at Bai Yi intently when Bai Yi couldn't see him.

His eyes never moved away from Bai Yi for even a second.

Bai Yi almost bought all the ingredients he needed as quickly as possible. As for the seasoning, he would rather go to the canteen again.

He bought ribs and fish and bok choy, and some vegetables for garnish.

The moment he left the vegetable market, Bai Yi dared to take a deep breath.

"By the way, I still need to buy a set of pajamas." Bai Yi said suddenly.

Zhang Li took the vegetable bag from him, and when he heard Boyi speak, he stood where he was, and suddenly asked, "Is it because of me?"

Is it because I don't want to wear my pajamas?

Bai Yi didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Li's words, he just said very naturally and intimately: "Prepare two more sets, in case you don't have clean pajamas to wear when you come here."

"By the way, I'll buy you a pair of slippers and a towel."

Zhang Li didn't say a word when he was talking, just looked at him quietly.

After Bai Yi finished speaking, he smiled at Zhang Li: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Li walked forward: "It's nothing, I'm going back."

Bai Yi smiled and followed behind Zhang Li.

He knows how to deal with people like Zhang Li, respect each other, don't show concern as charity, be natural, and don't be too gentle, let the other party feel the importance of him being by his side, as long as they do this, they will soon can become friends.

When he first started his business, he also encountered a lot of obstacles, but as long as the "people" path is cleared up, then other problems will not be a problem.

"By the way, buy some juice to go back." Boyi took out a barrel of grape juice from under the cabinet in the canteen.

The owner of the canteen is already very familiar with Bai Yi, knowing that this polite and good-natured young man will come to buy a pack of cigarettes every day, and he will count Bai Yi [-] cents less every time.

"You come tomorrow." The boss said to Bai Yi enthusiastically, "Tomorrow's new batch of goods are all good ones, so you come early to pick them."

Bai Yi thanked the boss, and the boss looked at him as if he was looking at his own son, very kind.

It was almost eleven o'clock when they got home, and the kitchen was already full of people. This shared kitchen can accommodate four people cooking in it at a time, that is, four households, but there are more than 20 households on one floor, even if it is not every day. Every family can cook, and the period from ten to twelve in the morning is very crowded.

When Bai Yi went to the kitchen with the ingredients, he found that there was still an empty seat.

The fat aunt saw Bai Yi coming, and said in surprise: "Xiao Bai can also cook?!"

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Know some, it's just home-cooked food."

While talking about Bai Yi, he went to process the ingredients.

Fat aunt: "Your future daughter-in-law will enjoy a great blessing! The man is so talented, so polite, and can cook. I really can't find it with a lantern."

Bai Yi smiled at the fat aunt.

When Bo Yi is cooking, he feels the most relaxed. He doesn't have to think about his company, complicated interpersonal relationships, or this task.

When he left the kitchen with the food, the people in the kitchen immediately talked about him.

They talked about Boyi's outstanding appearance, his polite remarks, his incompatibility with this poor and backward small county, and his unbelievable advantage that he could cook.

In this county, except for chefs, men don’t cook. No matter how much they earn or how little they earn, they are the “heads of the family”. During their work breaks, they would rather play cards and drink than go home Help, even if it's just picking up a tissue on the floor.

When Bai Yi was walking in the corridor, he saw Zhang Li standing by the door, leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, looking at the direction Bai Yi was coming from.

There were three dishes and two bowls of rice in total, and Bai Yi borrowed the fat aunt's tray to bring them back.

The two sat at the table facing each other. Zhang Li looked at the plate in front of him. He had never seen such a dish. There was only a little meat on a big plate, leaving a huge blank, and some raw vegetables beside it.

Is this enough for the two of them?

Bai Yi didn't expect this at all. He always cooks and eats by himself. Before eating, he would drink a glass of sparkling wine. After the main meal, he would also eat some desserts, most of which were small cakes he baked by himself. .

"Try it?" After Bai Yi said this, he realized that he didn't have any serving chopsticks, and when he was about to get the chopsticks, he found that Zhang Li had picked up a rib.

Bai Yi choked for breath, he almost stood up, and almost accused Zhang Li of not using serving chopsticks.

But he held back.

He was scolded by his parents for this problem.

"High standards are used to demand ourselves, not to demand others!"

"We have given you the best living environment and educational resources we can give you, but we haven't taught you to truly respect others!"

So Bai Yi just smiled sharply at Zhang: "How does it taste?"

Zhang Li showed a rare smile.

That smile was different from Bai Yi's imagination.

In Bai Yi's imagination, Zhang Li's smile might be just like him, full of gloom.

But when Zhang Li really laughed, Bai Yi was stunned.

Zhang Li's smile was a little green and shy.

Like any big boy who is uneasy in front of his sweetheart, he wants to praise the other person, but he has no choice but to express his indescribable praise and longing with a smile because of his clumsy speech.

But the smile quickly subsided, Zhang Li lowered his head, his voice was very soft, as if he was trying to cover up something.

"delicious."

The author has something to say: Brother Bo is a central air conditioner, although he does not flirt with sisters or younger brothers.

Almost a scumbag.
