On New Year's Eve, Shen's mother cooked a large table of dishes, and Shen's father also brought back a bottle of good wine from the work unit, just waiting for Shen Letong to come home, so when the doorbell rang, Shen's mother almost didn't jump up.

Shen Letong stood outside the door, carrying a not very big box, feeling the familiar aura coming from the door for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mom."

Shen's mother smiled so that her eyes narrowed, she took the box in Shen Letong's hand with one hand, and pulled Shen Letong's arm with the other, and pulled it into the room, "Letong, why does mom think you've lost weight? Didn't you eat well?"

Shen Letong touched his face subconsciously, "No, I ate a lot."

"A person who eats a lot can lose weight like this." Shen's mother handed the box to Shen's father, and looked at Shen Letong with some complaints, "Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time for us to eat."

Shen Letong responded, and obediently went to the bathroom to wash his hands, sitting next to a large table with sumptuous dishes, his stomach was already going crazy, and urged Shen Letong to grab a large piece of beef and put it in the bowl.

"Le Tong." Shen's mother kept adding vegetables to Shen Letong's bowl, "I thought Xiao Yang could come to our house with you for the New Year. Where did he go?"

Shen Letong almost choked to death on the chicken bone together, took a sip of spicy wine and calmed down before saying: "He...he went home for the New Year, and he said he wanted to go home to see his father."

Shen's mother nodded, "It's okay, after all, blood is thicker than water." After a pause, she asked again: "Le Tong, should you talk about your girlfriend?"

Another chicken bone almost killed Shen Letong, and Shen Letong decided not to eat chicken bones tonight.

"Mom, it's not urgent." Shen Letong said.

Shen's father gave Shen's mother a wink, Shen's mother sighed secretly, and put a piece of tenderloin into Shen Letong's bowl, "Okay, there is no rush, but you have to think about it."

"En." Shen Letong ate his food, and answered vaguely.

Different from Shen Letong's somewhat awkward New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Ruiyang ate this meal very well.

Zhou Ruiyang is a master at making dumplings, and he learned this skill from the owner of the bakery.The boss can use ordinary dumpling skins to wrap the shape of the little goldfish, and Zhou Ruiyang dyed the dough with tomato juice and yellow pepper juice to make the little goldfish more vivid.

Once during the New Year in the prison, everyone got together to make dumplings. Zhou Ruiyang showed his hand and made the warden worship him. After learning this skill from Zhou Ruiyang, he went home to coax his wife.

The aunt was a little surprised to see a little goldfish appearing in Zhou Ruiyang's hands three times, and exclaimed: "My child, you are so beautifully wrapped that I can't bear to eat it."

Zhou Ruiyang bared his teeth and smiled, "If you are reluctant to eat it, it will be cheaper for me."

"Eat! My wife, we can eat as much as he packs. We must not take advantage of this kid." The uncle watched the Spring Festival Gala intently while pounding garlic.

"Master, let's not be enemies in our previous life." Zhou Ruiyang put the wrapped little goldfish aside and said with a smile.

The old man chuckled, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Zhou Ruiyang or the cross talk on TV.

Countless lively little goldfish were lowered into the boiling water, and the aunt stood with a colander and watched the "swimming" goldfish inside, with a novelty smile on her face.

Zhou Ruiyang went to the bathroom to wash off the flour on his hands. When he came out, he happened to glance at a black and white photo hanging on the wall in the back room.In the photo is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate eyebrows and bright eyes, and a sunny smile. There are various fruit snacks and flowers on the small table under the photo.

Zhou Ruiyang bit his lip, turned his head to see the old man who was staring at the TV and the aunt in the kitchen on the window sill, who was staring at the pot with great interest, suddenly a sense of uneasiness and fear spread all over Zhou Ruiyang's body, and he lost a person he cherished , No matter how well you disguise your appearance, there must be a scar in your heart that cannot heal.

In the evening, Zhou Ruiyang drank two glasses of wine with the old man, and the old man's face was flushed red. The old man drunkenly said that he hadn't been so happy for several years. Zhou Ruiyang smiled, removed the old man's wine glass, and put it on juice.

Before midnight, Zhou Ruiyang came out from the old man's house. The aunt had originally asked him to stay, but Zhou Ruiyang felt that the old couple might want to spend some time with their son.

Zhou Ruiyang returned to the small attic, lying on the bed without feeling sleepy at all.The small square window can see the fireworks outside, red and yellow, very gorgeous.Zhou Ruiyang misses Shen Letong a little bit, the sudden miss is like a flood.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the convenience store resumed business, and Zhou Ruiyang was still on the night shift. After the winter vacation, the little girl didn’t come over because she was about to enter school, so Zhou Ruiyang was always alone at night, but the shop owner promised to give Zhou Ruiyang a raise. salary.

After the annual leave, Shen Letong returned to work at the company in Mingyuan City. It was still the small apartment, but Shen Letong felt that something was missing from the beginning to the end.

In the midsummer of this year, Zhou Ruiyang took a day off because it was the day Lao Zheng was released from prison.

Zhou Ruiyang held a large handful of foxtail grass as agreed, and carried a big fat duck.The dogtail grass was picked by Zhou Ruiyang when he went to the park early in the morning.The mosquitoes in the grass were so powerful that they bit Zhou Ruiyang's leg.There was also a little boy who watched Zhou Ruiyang squatting in the grass and picking up the dog's tail grass, and ran up to follow him to pick up the dog's tail grass.

The sun was still very poisonous that day, Zhou Ruiyang smelled the smell of grass from the left and roast duck from the right, stood at the gate of the prison, and watched the bearded old Zheng come out of it.

Lao Zheng was taken aback when he saw Zhou Ruiyang, then pointed at Zhou Ruiyang and laughed, and then Lao Zheng knelt down and cried very sadly.

Zhou Ruiyang squatted beside Lao Zheng, stuffed the dog's tail grass in his left hand into Lao Zheng's arms, and said, "You are not ashamed, why are you crying?"

"You fucking pluck the dog's tail grass, can't you exchange it for some nice flowers?" Lao Zheng wiped away his tears, hugged the dog's tail grass and scolded.

"Are you worthy of a beautiful flower?" Zhou Ruiyang smiled, "The dogtail grass is suitable for you."

Lao Zheng glared at Zhou Ruiyang, and his mood calmed down a lot, "Thank you, brother."

"No thanks, no thanks." Zhou Ruiyang bared his teeth and grinned, "Let's go, don't be ashamed here, I finally came out, please have a good meal."

Zhou Ruiyang took Lao Zheng to a sauce and bone restaurant, and smiled as he watched Lao Zheng gnaw on big bones like a hungry dog.Lao Zheng didn't feel embarrassed when Zhou Ruiyang looked at him. He ate so deliciously that he didn't care about Zhou Ruiyang who didn't eat much until he was full.

"How is it? Are you doing well after you come out?" Lao Zheng asked after taking a sip of beer.

"Well, I can survive anyway." Zhou Ruiyang said, propping his chin with one hand.

"What are you doing now?"

Zhou Ruiyang's hand went numb, so he switched to the other hand, "I work part-time in a convenience store, and the salary is not bad."

"Then do you plan to keep working?" Old Zheng threw a few peanuts into his mouth.

Zhou Ruiyang froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"What do you plan to do after that?" Lao Zheng continued to ask.

Zhou Ruiyang still shook his head.

Old Zheng curled his lips and sighed, "Okay, let's take a step and see."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Ruiyang asked Lao Zheng.

"Go to Mingyuan." Old Zheng said firmly.

"Mingyuan? Why?"

"My wife once said that she wanted to settle down in Mingyuan, saying that the city is good." Lao Zheng said, "I'll go and have a look first, just in case we meet."

Zhou Ruiyang turned his head, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the sidewalk outside the window, and said quietly: "Mingyuan is very good, Lao Zheng, if you can't find your wife, don't come back to see me."

Old Zheng chuckled, "Don't worry about it."

That night, Lao Zheng took the train to Mingyuan, and when he got on the train, he still carried the bunch of dogtail grass that Zhou Ruiyang gave him.

"What are you still doing with it? Don't let the police catch you and take you to a mental hospital." Zhou Ruiyang looked at Lao Zheng with disgust and said.

"I am willing, I like this." Old Zheng said.

Zhou Ruiyang sighed heavily, watching Lao Zheng get on the train holding a handful of green things, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, anyway, his mood was quite complicated.

The next night, Zhou Ruiyang went to work as usual, and first passed by the old man’s small supermarket to visit the old man, and bought a magazine by the way, so as not to be bored at night, the old man gave Zhou Ruiyang two apples, Zhou Ruiyang couldn’t do anything to evade it, Finally, I went to the convenience store with two apples and a magazine.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Ruiyang usually gnawed on an apple while flipping through the magazine, reading the long and short articles in the magazine without paying attention, but was attracted by a small advertisement hidden in the lower left corner of the page.

It was a baking training ad.

Zhou Ruiyang remembered what Lao Zheng said yesterday. He couldn't be a convenience store clerk for a lifetime. He should plan for his future. Although he didn't know what he should do, after seeing this advertisement , Zhou Ruiyang suddenly had an idea.

He wanted to open a shop, a boutique bakery.

As soon as this idea came out, it was sown in Zhou Ruiyang's heart like the seeds of weeds, and within a short while, the weeds grew wildly.

Zhou Ruiyang tore off this page of the magazine, read it carefully twice, folded it up, put it in his pocket, and patted it.

Just at this time, two customers walked into the convenience store, two men, staggering, and Zhou Ruiyang could smell the alcohol on them from the counter.

The two men walked in front of Zhou Ruiyang with slow steps. Zhou Ruiyang frowned, but his tone was still very polite, and he asked, "Hello, what do you need?"

One of the men pointed to the cash register and said with a smile, "You... just give me some money."

Zhou Ruiyang sighed, seeing that the two were here to provoke trouble, he walked out of the counter and pushed two people to persuade them to go out, but suddenly felt a cold in his abdomen, and then the pain slowly spread.

Zhou Ruiyang looked down in a daze, and saw a dagger stuck in his stomach.
