First dawn

The kitchen of Yi Xiao's house was extraordinarily tidy, or it couldn't be said to be tidy, it should be said to be empty. Standing by the door of the kitchen, Qiao Jue felt the corners of his mouth twitching.

"I remember you live alone?" Qiao Jue asked Yi Xiao who was leaning on the sofa and teasing the dog.

"That's right, my dad has long since given me money, and I've never been very clear about my mom's whereabouts." Yi Xiaoman said indifferently.

"You don't buy an electric kettle? You don't even have a pot and pan." Qiao Jue couldn't help but say.

Yi Xiao waved his hand: "Isn't this just the beginning of school? I'm thinking of making do with it for a few days to get acquainted with Lianxing's side before going to buy some."

But it has been a month since school started, Qiao Jue was standing by the empty kitchen, and suddenly remembered that night, beside the grass in the Lian River, the starry sky in the summer night was in the cool night wind, and that was Yi Xiao's first time with him. Talk about things at home.Yi Xiao's father, Chen Jin, is the manager of a certain brand in the city. Shortly after marrying Yi Hanxiang, who was born in music, Yi Hanxiang found out about Chen Jin's cheating. Before Yi Xiao was born, Chen Jin's child, Chen Zining I was born one step ahead.Chen Jin felt that he owed Yi Xiao something, and gave Yi Xiao the best in material life, but he hardly saw Yi Xiao's mother and child.Yi Hanxiang was not born with the temperament of keeping his own law and order. After the divorce, he was not in a hurry to find a stepdad for Yi Xiao, and went to have fun all day long.

This is really an unspeakable thing, Chen Zining, who was born because of an affair, is older than Yi Xiao, the family affairs of the Chen family are not glorious, but Chen Zining always loves to provoke Yi Xiao about this matter.

Looking at Yi Xiao in the living room, Qiao Jue felt a little emotional. Yi Xiao came from the city and lived in the best house in Lianxing County, but it was difficult to guarantee three meals. Knowing that his mother had barely set foot in the house, there was no pan in the kitchen, an empty bowl in the sink, chopsticks set aside.

"What do you eat if you don't buy a pot?" Qiao Jue asked.

Yi Xiao smiled and said, "The chain store at the door tastes pretty good."

"Forget it." Qiao Jue gave up struggling, "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, I will accompany you out to buy, can you go to Guo Da's store to buy, there should be activities during the National Day."

"Okay!" Yi Xiao immediately cheered up when she heard that she didn't need to do homework together.

The two left as soon as they said they would, put a leash on the husky who was obsessed with tearing down the house, left the community, and walked in the direction of Xinya Road.

Outside the home appliance store on Xinya Road, Guo Da moved a chair and sat in front of the door basking in the sun, holding a mobile phone in one hand, pressing keys continuously, and holding a green grapefruit in the other hand, peeling it with difficulty.

"Here we come." Guo Da received a text message from Qiao Jue in advance, saw the two approaching, and stood up from the bench.

Guo Da's spirit didn't look very good, there were still dark circles under his eyes, but his smile was quite bright.

"Did you go to the countryside?" Qiao Jue asked Guo Da.

Guo Da shook his head: "I will go tomorrow. Last night, my sister-in-law came to my house to argue all night. She said that she didn't get a dime of the old man's property when he died. My mother and her were talking at the door of the living room until midnight."

"The classmate is here, come in and have a look." Guo Da's father, Guo Zhengzhi, came out of the house with a smile, and welcomed the two into the house. Come to the store.

Guo Da's shop is a grocery store that sells electrical appliances. Apart from large items such as air conditioners, TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators, small electrical appliances can be regarded as everything.Qiao Jue picked out an electric kettle and rice cooker for Yi Xiao, and Yi Xiao picked out an induction cooker and pot for himself. Guo Da's father rarely met such a big client as Yi Xiao, and he even gave away a lot of plates and bowls and chopsticks, just to save money. It took two of them to go buy bowls and chopsticks.

"This is?" Yi Xiao stopped in front of an electrical appliance with a red casing after paying the money.

"This is a pressure cooker, the latest model." Guo Zhengzhi collected the money and walked over to introduce it to Yi Xiao, "Do you want one for my little friend? It is suitable for stewing chicken and ribs at home. The chicken here is delicious when stewed. .”

"This pot looks pretty." Qiao Jue interjected. Household appliances with a red appearance are rare.

Yi Xiao also saw that the red was very eye-catching, and seeing that Qiao Jue was obviously interested in the object in front of him, she nodded involuntarily and said, "Uncle, then I want this too."

"Okay, okay." Guo Zhengzhi picked up Gao Gao Guo with a smile, and packed Yi Xiao's bag.

"You two are really good, Yangou." After peeling the grapefruit, Guo Da stuffed a piece for each of them, "What looks good doesn't necessarily work well."

"Easy to use, everything in my house is fine, we will repair it." Guo Zhengzhi walked out from the back of the shop with the packed box in his arms, and stepped on Guo Da's foot to capture the traces. Guo Da said, "Ouch!" With a sound.

"How do you two plan to go back?" Guo Da pointed to the big and small bags on the ground and asked them.

Only then did Qiao Jue realize that Yi Xiao had bought a lot of things this time, and with the two of them, it was really inconvenient to take things back.

"A tricycle?" Yi Xiao asked. There are many self-operated rickshaws in Lianxing County, with colorful sheds, which can accommodate two or three people, and the price is very cheap.

"What kind of car is it called? It has a lot of money." Guo Da swallowed the last bite of grapefruit, "You two wait."

After Guo Da got into the house, he rolled out a small tricycle, pushed it down the steps, and stopped on the side of the road, beckoning the two to move things to the car.

"Hey, it's good, it's good." Guo Zhengzhi collected enough money, smiled all over his face, and helped lift the pots and pans to the small tricycle, "Dada will be sent back to my classmates, and my classmates will come here often in the future." ah!"

"Can you ride?" Qiao Jue asked Guo Da.

Guo Da said: "Hey, I can ride well. My dad often asks me to deliver goods. Besides, it's downhill all the way to the south of the city. It's easy to walk. You two come up, don't forget the dog."

Together, Yi Xiao and Qiao Jue carried the dog to the center of the pile of things on the car, and each of them occupied one side and sat down on the tricycle. Guo Da jumped into the car, turned on the brakes, rang the bell, Stepped on and stood up, stepped on it suddenly, and the tricycle carried three people and one dog, and rode in the direction of Changhe Road.

Guo Da took out his mobile phone from his pocket, played the music, and stepped on the tricycle following the rhythm of the music.

"Hey, what are you three doing?" On Changhe Road, Mu Qingwei was walking towards her, wearing a blue shirt, her hair combed into a short ponytail, and holding a stack of newly released comics in her hands.

"It's delivering the goods." Guo Da rang the car bell, and there was a burst of crisp ringtones.

Mu Qingwei smiled, waved her hand, and watched the tricycle stagger towards the south of the city.

The melodious sound of car bells sprinkled all the way on Changhe Road, the autumn sky was high and the sunshine in the south of the city was just right.

"Stylish, Brother Xiao." Guo Da wiped the sweat from his head, stepped on the ground with one hand, pinched the brake with one hand, the little three wheels stopped in front of the community, and was stopped by the security guards outside the community. He and Yi Xiao jumped out of the car, and moved the added household appliances from the car to the car.

"Come to play?" Yi Xiao asked Guo Da.

"Not today, but I will definitely come next time." Guo Da regretted, "I have to go back. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to Jinggang, and my parents are still arguing."

Guo Da turned the car around, waved at the two, and rode in the direction they came. Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao carried pressure cookers, pans, and induction cookers, and carried a bunch of large and small bags into Yi Xiao's kitchen.

Clean the cabinets and marble countertops, put the induction cooker in the center of the kitchen countertop, arrange the pots and pans in the cabinet, and find a corner for the pressure cooker. After all this is done, the kitchen can barely feel like home.

Qiao Jue shook his head, wondering what kind of life Yi Xiao lived in the previous month, or that he lived the same life during the ten years of Yi Xiao's growing up.

"What's for dinner?" The two people who were also not good at housework finished cleaning the kitchen and lay down on the dilapidated sofa in Yi Xiao's house, not wanting to move.

Qiao Jue: "Cooking."

"What are you eating?" Yi Xiao asked.

"What do you have?" Qiao Jue leaned on the sofa, raised her head, half-closed her eyes, and asked Yi Xiao.

"These." Yi Xiao took out two other bags from under the sofa, which were filled with instant noodles of various flavors.

Qiao Sui: "... Let me ask you what's in the refrigerator?"

"No food." Yi Xiao looked like nothing to do with himself, "There are only two boxes of mineral water in the refrigerator."

Qiao Jue: "..." Why couldn't he think about coming to Yi Xiao's house to play.

Half an hour later, the two packed up appeared in a fast food restaurant near the community.

"What do you guys eat?" the aunt at the cashier in the store asked.

"Just order it." Qiao Jue was absent-minded.

Yi Xiao is very proficient: "I want two servings of chicken soup, two servings of Yangmi noodles, and two servings of shortbread. Thank you, auntie."

"73 yuan and six, find a place to sit by yourself." The cashier handed the number plate to Yi Xiao.

"Hey, Qiao Jue, I found out that the chicken soup here is really good." After finding a seat by the window and sitting down, Yi Xiao said with emotion.

Qiao Jue shook his head: "The ones in the store are not pure enough. The chicken stewed at home is more delicious. You have a pressure cooker. I will teach you later. You have to stew it yourself."

"Okay." Yi Xiao geared up, "I think I can try cooking by myself."

The ordered food was quickly brought to the table. Although Qiao Juan disliked the chicken soup here was not pure enough, the Yangmi noodles were very delicious. The soup base was made of chicken soup. There were fresh and tender chicken shreds in the soup, and the aroma of chicken soup Rich, tender green vegetables floating in the soup, the rice fragrance of Yangmi noodles is very appetizing, the shortbread is baked with duck fat, the skin is crispy, mixed with the aroma of duck fat, bite it down, the inside The pie filling made of meringue and sesame is sweet but not greasy, sweet and delicious.

"The shortbread here is good." Yi Xiao bit off half of the shortbread.

"You should eat like this, drink the chicken soup first, and then bite the shortbread, it tastes good." Qiao Jue picked up the bowl and showed Yi Xiao how to eat it.

The chicken soup and shortbread taste really good, Yi Xiao put down the soup bowl in his hand and raised his head to meet Qiao Sui's eyes.

"It's covered with cake crumbs." Yi Xiao stretched out his hand, and naturally wiped away the cake crumbs that accidentally got on the other's cheek.

The moment he touched the other person's cheek, Yi Xiao suddenly discovered in surprise that Qiao Jue's eyelashes are actually very long, and his eyes are typical peach blossom eyes. When he is not smiling, he is cold, but when he is happy, his eyes are full of smiles. It's no wonder that on the first day of school, Yi Xiao heard people in the class call Qiao Sui the school grass.

Qiao Jue was slightly startled, and Yi Xiao was also in a daze.
