Chapter 18

The next morning, Zhou Ze came to the noodle shop next door as usual after washing, which has gradually become a habit of his life. When eating is no longer a process of enjoyment, it will simply become a task. Doing tasks is simple and efficient. There is nothing more convenient and efficient than Xu Qinglang.

"Bitter gourd juice." Xu Qinglang put a big glass in front of Zhou Ze, and then brought an egg fried rice.

Zhou Ze first tried to drink, and the moment the liquid entered his throat, he only felt unbearable bitterness between his lips and teeth. Then, after swallowing it, even his intestines and stomach began to tie knots.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Zhou Ze calmed down and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's really bitter.

"Haha, is it enough?" Xu Qinglang quickly praised me, and then sat down in front of Zhou Ze, "say, you are really heavy enough to eat without drinking these things?"

Zhou Zeping regained his mood, and then drank a large cup of bitter gourd juice in one gulp. Then he quickly picked up chopsticks and began to devour the egg fried rice in front of him.

A minute later, Zhou Ze finished eating, put down the plate, and then closed his eyes.

"This eating appearance is a demon climbing up from hell." Xu Qinglang joked.

It's just unclear whether this is a joke or something else.

Zhou Ze opened his eyes and glanced at each other. On that day, five migrant workers' brothers came back to life. His sister-in-law and wife could not see. It was normal, but the noodle shop owner could see it. Otherwise, he would not cook the five portions of braised meat to cover the rice.

But between the two, in line with the tacit understanding of seeing through and not telling, they have never pierced the window paper. Maybe this is the way to get along.

"Why don't you take the order today?" Zhou Ze asked.

A few days ago, even on the new year's Eve, Xu Qinglang kept having takeout lists in his mobile phone, but today, it was much deserted, and he didn't see his takeout brother pick up meals.

"Rest." Xu Qinglang took out the cigarette, bit one in his mouth and handed it to Zhou Ze.

Although there is no rest on New Year's Eve, it is strange to rest after new year,

But as a man with more than 20 suites,

There is indeed willful capital.

"Do you know the ghost lifts the sedan chair?" Zhou Ze asked, his memory of last night was still fresh, but he was not in a hurry to do anything. He just went home and slept in his freezer.

Man, Zhou Ze saved it by himself. If there is any problem, Zhou Ze doesn't want to take care of it.

He just lived his little life carefully, seriously and lively. If he could do something easily in ordinary days, he would do it easily, but he wouldn't really force anything.

Even if there is something wrong with the little girl in the lily skirt, it is no longer the responsibility of Zhou Ze.

"Ghost lift the sedan chair?" Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "ha ha, it's more than midnight on New Year's Eve. It's said that everyone burns scriptures and paper money during the new year. Those ghost hands also have surplus money and are willing to take a taxi."

Xu Qinglang continued to talk nonsense, and then yawned, "then, why hasn't the door of your bookstore been opened?"

"Wait until evening."

"OK, capricious." Xu Qinglang took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. "Shall we go to the movies this afternoon?"

Scene,

Instantly entered an embarrassing silence.

"No." Zhou Ze refused.

"Look, I really don't give face. It's a waste of people's hard work to make new juice for you. I don't even want to accompany people to a movie.

No man is a good thing. "

"........" Zhou Ze.

"Sorry, I forgot I'm a man myself." Xu Qinglang shook his head sadly, with an expression of regret for why he was not a daughter.

"Did you encounter any psychological trauma when you were a child?" Zhou Ze asked. "I know some psychologists who can help you."

Xu Qinglang burst out laughing,

"Heterosexuality is just a heresy created for reproduction, and homosexuality can be true love."

"Disagree."

"Different ways do not conspire."

The conversation between the two after dinner ended unhappily.

Zhou Ze went back to his bookstore, opened the door, thought about it, and didn't lock it. He simply sat behind the counter, turned on the computer, and sent a wechat message to Dr. Lin:

"Going to the movies in the afternoon?"

After waiting for about ten minutes, Dr. Lin replied:

"Work."

The Spring Festival is not to say that others are ill or have an accident. Zhou Ze, who was also a doctor, knows that there is too much water in the holiday in the hospital.

It's understandable to think about it, but it's not refreshing after all.

Zhou Ze wanted to tell her that he was Zhou Ze, not Xu Le.

But I'm worried that the outcome is that Dr. Lin is scared into doubting life, and even the hazy feeling of unrequited love before has collapsed. Of course, the most important thing is that the less people know about some things, the better.

Someone will catch himself,

Zhou Ze is very clear about this,

He was waiting. While waiting, he didn't choose to curl up in a dark corner like a mouse in the gutter. He still needed to live and live normally. Otherwise, he might as well not come out of hell and follow the army to finish the huangquan road.

As for the neighbor next door, whether he saw it or not, Zhou Ze didn't know and didn't bother to know.

"In the evening."

Doctor Lin returned another message.

Zhou Ze smiled. He felt that his smile was like a silly fork. He went back to middle school alive when he saw the class study committee members being ashamed of him.

In the past, I was too tired to live,

In this life, I have to live loosely and freely.

Many principles of life can only be understood before death and when you are old, but when you understand them, you have lost the chance to start over.

Zhou Ze cherishes his present life and opportunities.

A red car stopped on the road in front of the bookstore and two women came down.

One is less than thirty years old, and the other looks only fiveorsix years old.

A woman wears a red dress and her hair is elegant. Although she thinks she is a mother, it is still difficult to hide her myriad feelings. On the contrary, she is more able to provoke people's heartstrings.

The girl is wearing suspenders, which should have several layers of warm clothes and pants, wrapped like a small zongzi, charming and cute.

But when he saw the girl as a child, Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

come with evil intent,

If the good do not come,

If you don't go to her,

But she came to the door on her own initiative.

Before, I heard Doctor Lin say that at the thank-you banquet, the other party shouted for his uncle, and Zhou Ze was still complacent. Now I want to come, people don't intend to let him go at all.

After all,

The father with four children died because of this girl.

The door of the bookstore was pushed open, and the woman looked around curiously, while the girl timidly walked to Zhou Ze's counter and looked at Zhou Ze, with a waxy voice:

"Hello, uncle."

Zhou Ze nodded slightly implicitly,

In fact, I was thinking whether I should directly sacrifice my nails and strangle the girl?

"Hello, I'm Ruirui's mother."

The woman went to Zhou Ze and put a gift box on the counter.

"Thank you."

The woman bowed to Zhou Ze,

Deep affection.

"You're welcome." Zhou Ze still didn't get up.

He really wanted to pretend that everything was normal so that the girl didn't see anything.

But it's too difficult,

Even at the Oscar level,

After seeing the memory picture of the driver last night,

It's hard to look like normal in front of this girl, isn't it?

Since pretending is not like pretending, then simply don't pretend.

"Mom, I want to read here." The woman said.

"OK, mom, go and have a haircut first, and you can stay with your uncle to read." The woman smiled at Zhou Ze, "it's hard for you."

"Not hard."

"It's only by asking Dr. Lin that I know that you open a shop here."

Melon woman.

"You and Dr. Lin are really beautiful."

Xu Le himself won't believe what he said against his heart.

The woman drove away, leaving her daughter. This is the bookstore, and Zhou Ze is her daughter's half life-saving benefactor and Doctor Lin's husband, so her daughter stays here for the time being. She is very relieved and doesn't have to worry about anything.

Next, Ruirui chose an illustration book by herself and sat on the plastic bench watching.

Neither noisy nor noisy.

Didn't shout for drinks or snacks.

Zhou Ze sat behind the counter and looked at her.

Just at this time, Xu Qinglang came in and saw a little girl like a porcelain doll. He immediately walked over and picked her up.

"Oh, what a lovely little girl."

"Thank you, sister." Ruirui responded.

The smile on Xu Qinglang's face is like a chrysanthemum blooming, more and more brilliant.

The little girl's flattery scratched Xu Qinglang's itch.

Zhou Ze was calm and continued to sit there.

"Come out and tell you something." Xu Qinglang put down the child and pointed to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang came out.

"Someone came from the square and asked us whether we should terminate the contract. They can refund the rent we paid in advance."

"No return." Zhou Ze doesn't want to mess about any more for the time being, not to mention that he doesn't have enough capital. Even if he gets the prepaid rent, it's not enough to open another store by himself.

"I think so, too." Xu Qinglang nodded, indicating that he knew, "then I'll talk on behalf of you?"

"OK."

"OK, it's settled."

The two men stood outside the door and smoked a cigarette before they dispersed.

When Zhou Ze turned around, opened the door and walked in,

I found that there was no little girl on the row of plastic benches. The illustration book was placed on a bench.

Zhou Ze frowned,

Raise your head,

At the entrance of the stairs, the footsteps of small leather boots appeared,

The little girl came out from there, half of her figure was exposed, and half of her figure was blocked by the wall,

She just,

I went to my second floor.
