"Come on, come on, Manager Gao, please eat more, our Xiao Fei is taking care of you, thank you very much."

"Auntie, you're welcome, I'm full enough."

"Yes, Mom, Brother Gao doesn't like meat."

"This kid, nonsense, there is no one who loves vegetables but not meat. Manager Gao, this is my newly bought rural stupid pork. It smells old."

"Auntie, you can just call me Gao Chi, don't call me the manager, they are all old." Brother Gao put on a trademark smile, and my mother was fooled, "I will do it myself."

"Then senior manager, eat more, we don't have anything else here, only sauerkraut is enough."

"Well, the taste is really good, just like the sauerkraut we have over there."

"Manager Gao's family is from the south?"

"Well, Guizhou Kaili."

"so far."

I raised my head, and it was the first time I heard Brother Gao talk about his hometown. It turned out to be so far away, no wonder I couldn’t understand his hometown dialect.

"Yes, it's really not easy for Manager Gao. He left his hometown alone and came to work so far away."

"Mom, Brother Gao is a graduate of City University who directly stayed to work, not here for a part-time job."

"It's the same, I'm just a senior worker."

Brother Gao picked up the sauerkraut in the bowl and said with a smile.

"That's right, you still look down on your mother, I know everything about your mother, come here, Manager Gao will eat."

"It's almost auntie. I've been on the bus all afternoon. I'm a little tired. I eat too much and it's not easy to digest."

"Yes, you see I'm just busy."

I breathed a sigh of relief, finally.

My mother was too nervous. She always felt that Brother Gao was going to be overwhelmed, but she was still so enthusiastic.

"The water is ready, Brother Gao, go take a bath."

I also stood up and helped my mother start clearing the table.

"Xiao Fei doesn't need you, you go and help Manager Gao mix water, it's his first time here, he can't figure out our water heater."

"Ok."

"Auntie is too nervous."

Back in the bedroom, Brother Gao whispered softly in my ear.

"Northeast people are like this, enthusiastic." My ears were itchy from the warm breath exhaled by Brother Gao, and I shy away and said, "Brother Gao, please don't mind."

"How come, I'm too happy to have time."

"That's good."

After taking the things, I took Brother Gao to the bathroom.

"Brother Gao, the hot and cold showers in my house are exactly the opposite," I demonstrated to him, "I found a relative to put the pipe on, and that's what it looks like."

"Hehe." Brother Gao laughed.

"You adjust it yourself, and put the changed clothes here. After washing, you can open the window to let the heat out." I explained sheepishly, "Don't mind if it's a bit shabby."

"Xiao Fei, don't say that, he's much better than my family."

"Brother Gao, I'm going out first, you can come by yourself."

"kindness."

After I left, there was the sound of dripping water in the bathroom. I hurried back to the bedroom, started to make the bed, and sorted out the things we both brought.

"Mom, where do you put the things Brother Gao brought?"

"Let's put it on the balcony first. It's time to eat tomorrow." After finishing the kitchen, my mother came out and said to me, "I'm going out to take out the trash and go to the bathroom by the way."

"Then you didn't come up just now?"

"Aren't I embarrassed?"

I was a little speechless, and didn't dare to speak out loud, so I had to let her.

"Fold the burning paper first, and go out and burn it when I come back."

"Well, where did you put the burnt paper?"

"Look for the balcony by yourself, and ask me about everything, it doesn't look like this is your home." The mother held the garbage bag a little impatiently, and hurriedly closed the door.

I sighed, helpless.

It's like this again, how can something hidden by one person be found so easily.

Fortunately, my mother saved the trouble this time, and didn't hide it inside. I rummaged through and finally found it.

When I couldn't help but want to go to the toilet, Brother Gao finally finished washing.

"Xiao Fei, what is this?"

Brother Gao looked at the burnt paper in the living room with some surprise.

"Go out to burn paper in a while, brother Gao, you come out first, I'll go to the toilet."

After I finished speaking, I closed the door and went to solve the major issues in life.
