[K Mo] Open the door, send a courier!
Chapter 3
19.
The deadline given by the landlord was mid-February, but Hao Mei couldn't wait, and after two days of returning home to clean up, she began to make arrangements to move.
Clothes, books, computers, pots and pans, I don’t know if I don’t clean them up, and I only realize that I have so many messy things when I pack them.Hao Mei sealed up the last box of sundries, and sat panting in the middle of the big and small bags, thankful that she asked KO to help, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry it all by herself.
KO did not know where to get the trolley, and it was parked under Hao Meilou, waiting for him to move things onto the trolley one after another.
"Hey, don't be too heavy, this is all my belongings." Hao Mei climbed into the car with a smile, and sat back to back with KO.
"Not sinking," KO took the last puff of the cigarette, stepped on the pedal with the cigarette butt in his mouth: "Sit still."
The cart accelerated slowly, and the steep wind brushed against the face, bringing the coldness and refreshingness of early spring.
The streets are bustling again, with crowds in twos and threes, reopened shops, the city is regaining its original rhythm.
Hao Mei was sitting bored, tearing open a lollipop and holding it in her mouth, then turned her head to KO's ear: "Where did you find this scooter?"
"It's for food stalls, and I keep the key here." A faint sweet smell wafted from his face, and KO glanced at Hao's bulging mouth, sniffing: "Coke flavor?"
"You are using this bus for private use, Comrade KO." Hao Mei took out another one from her pocket, tore off the candy wrapper and brought it to KO's mouth, and took the cigarette butt from KO's mouth by the way: "I forgot to tell you, In the future, I will wrong you to eat candy at home to relieve boredom, I am allergic to the smell of cigarettes. If you smoke, I will burst into tears."
KO held the lollipop in his mouth and tasted it twice, "Yes, better than smoking."
"Really?" Hao smacked his eyebrows and smacked his lips: "Then you might as well quit smoking. Smoking too much is bad for your lungs."
KO hummed vaguely: "It can be considered."
The two were chatting with each other, when a cart with a similar shape rode out from the entrance of the roadside vegetable market, an old farmer was staring at the cart in front, and there were all kinds of fruits and vegetables piled up on the cart. It was for delivery to restaurants.There was an old lady sitting in the back, looking at her watch and urging loudly: "Old man, ride faster, we're going to be late!"
"Okay~!" The old man yelled, and the car creaked and overtook it, gradually disappearing from sight.
"Wow, even the old man can ride faster than you." Hao Mei poked KO's back mischievously, and said imitatively: "Old man, ride faster."
I thought that KO's serious character would not pay attention to his nonsense at all, but he really mobilized his strength and replied in a calm voice: "Okay."
Going for a ride is always a pleasant mood. Looking at the receding street scenes on both sides, Hao Mei felt like a child riding on a merry-go-round. She couldn't help shaking her feet and humming a song. The sound floated intermittently in the air against the wind.
KO has heard this song before. The barber shop opposite the food stall always likes to turn on the stereo and play some loud pop songs. You can’t listen to it. The brainwashed lyrics can’t stop jumping out when they meet the familiar melody. One sentence appeared in my mind.
——"Love ing, happy~ing, the mood is like sitting on a jet plane~?"
20.
KO's house is a typical single apartment, with one bedroom and one living room, which is just right for ordinary people to live in, but KO's things are pitifully small, so it looks a bit empty.When the second person entered, the narrowness of the house was revealed. There were cardboard boxes piled up on the floor and tables, and it was impossible to clean them up.
Hao Mei sat on the stool in the living room, and Ge You was paralyzed. Looking at the floor where there was nowhere to put his feet, he felt tired. He stood up several times to clean up, looked at the messy boxes for a long time, and collapsed back in frustration.
KO returned the trolley, and when he got home, he was shocked to see this dire scene.He carefully picked up the empty space on the ground and walked into the house, seeing Hao Mei's expression of lovelessness, he couldn't help unpacking the bottle of Yakult that he bought by chance when he came back with some amusement and handing it to him: "Thirsty or not? "
"Extremely thirsty," Hao Mei tore open the package and took a sip, licked his lips and said with a smile, "It's a timely gift!"
Afraid that he didn't have enough to drink, KO stuffed the rest into his hands: "Let's rest for a while." After saying that, he bent down and began to pack the boxes.
"Hey, don't do it, I'll do it!" Hao Mei jumped up from the stool: "You are already tired enough to help me transport so many things by bicycle early in the morning, I will do it myself!"
KO nodded, but kept moving his hands. He picked out the boxes containing bedroom items such as clothes and bedding and moved them into the bedroom, beckoning to Hao Mei: "Clean up the bedroom first."
Hao Mei got into the bedroom obediently, and stuffed her clothes into the closet one by one, while KO went back to the living room to help organize the rest of the things—he originally thought that the things in the bedroom were more private, and it was inconvenient for him to touch them. , the remaining pots and pans can still be tidied up for Hao Mei. I never thought that the little guy didn't sort them carefully when he packed them. He just packed a few bags whole, mixing many things together.
KO looked at the soap box that was put into the pot, and poured out two books from the shoe box, and finally found a bag of changed underwear in the cloth bag of the toiletries. Suddenly, one head and two were big, and I couldn’t help but start Wondering how Hao Mei lived these days.
Two hours after he finished tidying up the living room, Hao Mei in the back room was still humming and humming at work. KO knew that he couldn't do it at all, so he went into the back room to help.At that time, Hao Mei was trying her best to close the door of the closet that was about to burst, the bed had already been made, and the bedding was fairly tidy, but there were still a lot of bits and pieces piled up on the floor and on the bed.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't finished tidying up yet. It's a bit messy now." Hao Mei pressed her back against the closet door, trying to squeeze back the overflowing clothes, and said with a dry smile, "This closet is a little bit small. ……Ha ha……"
This room was originally shared by two students. The bed, wardrobe, and bedside table were all identical two-piece sets, neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the room, presenting a perfect symmetry.
Now it is more like the central axis of the Dao, two completely different territories are clearly demarcated, the right side is dazzling, but the left side is as clean as before, without thinking, it must be Hao Mei's masterpiece. KO reluctantly went up to help deal with the crumbling closet: "It's okay to put the things that can't be cleaned up temporarily, and I don't need to be so clear."
Hao Mei shook her head: "I can tell you are the kind of person who loves to be tidy. If I really let you fly, you will definitely not be able to bear it." Speaking sharply, he saw the box that crossed the boundary, and quickly jumped over to kick the thing back to himself. One side: "I'm used to being messy at home, and I will change it in the future."
——In fact, it’s okay if you don’t change it, KO said silently in his heart, although he is a bit of a clean freak, but the way the house is full of things looks extraordinarily lively.The cups on the dressing table became two, the chairs in the living room became a pair, and even the slippers on the shoe cabinet by the door were added.Obviously there is only one more person, but it adds several times the color. The noisy air dilutes the desertedness and warms people from the bottom of their hearts.
In the end, KO helped solve the wardrobe, hanging what should be hung, stacking what should be folded, temporarily storing out-of-season clothes in the drawer, and the wardrobe is neat and tidy, Hao Mei is extremely convinced.
"Awesome, so virtuous!" Hao Mei sighed: "If you are a girl, you must be very popular!" After that, she felt that it was inappropriate to say that to a big man, scratched her head and said: "Ah, I don't mean anything else , is a metaphor.”
"Yeah." KO has gotten used to Hao Mei's speaking style, and knows how to focus on listening. Those unnutritious thoughts go directly from the left ear to the right, and don't take it to heart at all: "What do you want for lunch?"
"Anything is fine! I can make whatever I have at home, I'm not picky!" Hao Mei smiled happily: "Anyway, everything you cook is delicious."
Facts have proved that KO is indeed a very virtuous and good roommate at home—he cooked Hao Mei’s favorite dishes for lunch and dinner, with meat and vegetables and soup.It was clear that one would cook and one wash the dishes, but after Hao Mei lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone for a while to digest the full part of the meal, KO had already cleaned up the dinner dishes.
Hao Mei watched KO wipe the last plate and put it in the cabinet, scratching her head in embarrassment: "Didn't we agree that I will do the dishes?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it." KO said calmly, nonchalantly: "The water is ready, take a bath?"
Hao Mei nodded, grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom. After he took off his clothes and turned on the faucet, he realized that the water heater in this house is old-fashioned. You have to heat up the water in the water tank before you can use it. It takes about 30 minutes to burn it once. , the amount of water is enough for one person to take a bath.
He remembered that when he had just graduated and worked in Zhiyi, because he was too poor to rent a house, he had to apply for a collective dormitory arranged by the company. The capacity of the water heater in the dormitory was smaller than that here. There was always a big fight in the shower, and Hao Mei, as the weakest one, was the last one almost every time. After waiting one or two hours before it was his turn, life was miserable.
But society is like this. Without the shelter of your parents, no one will take care of you, and no one will treat you as a child.Everyone is working hard for themselves, and each eats according to his ability.Boys living in the same dormitory often argue about who should take out the trash today and who should sweep the floor tomorrow. The way to live in peace is not to tolerate each other, but to strictly enforce the schedule, and everyone can do their own work. Thanks to the housework within, it is impossible to share more with others.
In contrast, KO's attitude towards him is really flattering. Compared with ordinary roommates, it is more like a host entertaining guests.
Hao Mei sighed, and washed her whole body as quickly as possible, hoping to save half of the hot water for KO as much as possible.
"From tomorrow onwards, I must help with the housework..." Hao Mei wiped her face, wiped her body casually with a bath towel, and put on a clean pajamas.
21.
When KO returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, Hao Mei was still nestled under the quilt playing with her mobile phone.
"Go to bed early." KO sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his hair, "I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Are you guys going to start work too?" Hao Mei pressed the phone off and put it next to the pillow: "I thought express delivery was the first."
"The restaurant is similar." KO set the alarm clock to 7 o'clock: "Have breakfast at home?"
"I guess it's too late, I'm going to go out early in the morning." Hao Mei yawned: "But since you're open, I'll go to your place for lunch. Our company's lunch boxes are terrible, and sometimes I can give them away. If it’s far away, it might not be possible to go back and get it.”
KO nodded: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll prepare it for you in advance."
"Fried Chicken Rice Bowl!" Hao Mei licked the corner of her mouth, "I have eaten this at your food stall, it was delicious, but sometimes it tastes heavenly, and sometimes it's horrible, you must not be the only one who made it?"
"There are two apprentices." KO nodded: "Your tongue is very good."
"Of course!" Hao Mei proudly said, "It's not me bragging. When I was young, my dad regarded me as a rising star in the chef world. He said that my tongue is not a chef. I am blind. It's a pity that I only have the talent to eat but not to cook. , After studying with my dad for a year, he gave up, and he was so mad at the old man."
In fact, in the chef's profession, talent is second, and the most important thing is to be able to endure hardships.Standing in the kitchen for a day, the big spoons in the hands are getting heavier and heavier, and even experienced workers will occasionally suffer some knife wounds and scalds. How can ordinary children with parents doting on them bear it.
KO can roughly see that the conditions of Hao Mei's family are not too bad, even if they can't be a chef, they won't have to do the hard and tiring work of express delivery.Although he had doubts in his heart, he still didn't ask in the end.The only way is that everyone has hard-to-recite scriptures in their hearts, and it is not enough for outsiders to explain.
Seeing that KO was silent for a while, Hao Mei couldn't help but start talking again: "Your craft doesn't look like self-taught, and your way is very correct. Did you go to culinary school?"
KO shook his head: "I dropped out of school when I was 14 and went out to work. I learned from the master chef in the restaurant."
"Dropping out of school?" Hao Mei was startled. She didn't expect that there are still children who drop out of school in the city in this era: "Why? Compulsory education doesn't cost much."
KO usually rarely talks about himself with others. After all, no one cares about your past for no reason these days. They are more or less for the purpose of spying on you. Only this big boy in front of you is lying on the bed and revealing your past. A furry head, a pair of black eyes blinked and blinked, and the warm yellow light at the head of the bed drew a soft and comfortable space around him, making people more harmless.
"My family had a car accident that year, and I was the only one left." KO finally opened his mouth: "At that time, the house at home was also rented. If I didn't go out to work, I didn't even have a place to live."
Hao Mei's expression froze on her face, and she thought to herself that this is a bad dish, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted, and asked a topic that should not be asked.He is also not good at comforting people, so he scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time before he could say: "Well... you are also very good now, better than those formally trained chefs!"
"Yeah." KO nodded. The family affairs have passed for more than ten years. He has already passed the age where he would be sad when he mentioned it. Feeling warm: "Go to sleep, I will make fried chicken rice for you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Upon hearing that there was something to eat, Hao Mei immediately put everything else behind her and turned off the desk lamp cheerfully: "Good night."
KO said good night lightly, suddenly plunged into a dark room made people feel a little uncomfortable, so that when he closed his eyes, there was still Hao Mei's crooked eyebrows smiling before turning off the lights.
22.
Food stalls opened earlier than other restaurants, and with the high quality and low price, the business is booming.
KO rested at home for a few days, more or less a bit of vacation syndrome, and would stay in the sweltering heat of the kitchen and listen to the schoolgirls in the hall urging the dishes, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
The most popular food stall at noon is the rice bowl series. One dish is a box of rice. It is cheap and full, and it is convenient to take away. It is especially popular among office workers.What kind of tomato scrambled egg rice bowl, fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl, braised lion's head rice bowl... I made one after another, the process was the same, and it was so boring that KO felt physiological when he heard the waiter's shouting rice bowl Disgusted, he simply threw away the spatula and let the two apprentices deal with it.
"A fried chicken rice bowl at table 7!" The student girl ran in, her pigtails jumping up and down: "The guest said that the chef must make it himself."
KO was standing aside with a cigarette in his mouth watching the apprentices cooking, when he heard two puffs of smoke coming out of his nose: "I like to eat or not."
The student girl shrank her neck. This KO chef is usually easy to get along with, but when she is angry, she is very scary. She has seen the apprentices of the back chef being trained to be bloody several times. At this time, she can't help but shrink back and say: " Uh... that guest said that he made an appointment with you yesterday..."
KO stopped smoking, poked his head out from the back kitchen and looked in the direction of table 7, and sure enough, he saw Hao Mei lying on the table and smiling at him.
The boy was wearing a courier uniform, with the peaked cap on his head turned upside down, and the bangs on his forehead were exposed from under the brim of the hat, messily curled up, making people want to touch him and help him straighten his mischievous hair.
The appearance of Hao Mei was like a cool breeze, sweeping away the boredom and heat accumulated in the back kitchen. KO took down his half-smoked cigarette, and made a "goodbye" gesture across the noisy lobby.
The ingredients for this fried chicken rice bowl are prepared long ago, and the best and freshest chicken nuggets are selected. KO grabbed the collar and slipped an apprentice down from the premise of the stove, and went to battle with the ingredients himself.The oil used for this fried chicken nugget is all new, and a poached egg and a vegetable are also added by the way.The student girl was holding the plate of extraordinarily rich fried chicken and rice, and suddenly she was a little confused: "Brother KO, can the guests who have made an appointment still be able to add more dishes?... Oh no, when will we have an appointment service?"
KO put down the spatula, threw the apprentices to work, and walked aside calmly: "It didn't exist."
The student girl let out an "oh", she couldn't turn her head after a busy noon, she carried the plate out of the back kitchen ignorantly, and always felt that something was wrong.
23.
Since sharing the rent with KO, Hao Mei's life is like a mouse falling into a honeypot.
In the morning, it was too late to have breakfast at home, so KO helped him heat up steamed buns; he went to food stalls for dinner at noon and evening, and the amount of food was obviously more than three times that of others; They were all cleaned up by KO, even the clothes were washed and hung on the balcony.
When Hao Mei first moved in, she swore that she would be in charge of washing the dishes, but now the two of them eat almost all of their meals at the food stalls, and there is basically nothing to do except help KO boil the bath water in advance.
Hao Mei is 100 percent satisfied with this kind of life where clothes come out of her hands, her hands eat, and her mouth opens her mouth. However, she is also a little bit guilty. Daily consumables such as shampoo are basically bought by Hao Mei. Occasionally, he is also responsible for utility bills. KO asked for AA several times, but Hao Mei didn’t agree. In the end, he simply cut the rent by half, but this was only KO’s unilateral decision. It means that how much money should be paid every month, Hao Mei puts every cent into the KO card.
KO said that he couldn't beat Hao Mei, so he could only silently spoil her. Every day, there was no increase in the amount of lunch and dinner, and there was also a fruit plate of snacks after the meal.
That day Hao Mei was sitting at a food stall eating his luxurious rice bowl. The student girl came over and brought him a fruit plate, which contained apples, oranges and grapes. Each petal has been peeled, and the two sides are tilted up like a boat. The stems of the grapes have been removed one by one, and they have been soaked in warm salt water.
The uncle at the next table looked at it and shouted: "I said, little girl, why is the fruit plate you gave him different from mine!"
Hao Mei followed the prestige, and the fruit plate on that table was full of whole fruits, not to mention peeled and diced, at most they had been washed with water.
Food stalls are no better than star-rated restaurants. The fruit plate is actually just washing a few fruits and serving it to you. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. It’s just that there is a gap in comparison. Anyone who sees Hao Mei’s fruit plate will think "I may have eaten a fake fruit plate". Confuse.
The student girl flicked her pigtails and said nonsense in a serious manner: "Sorry, this is our VIP customer."
There is only a roadside food stall and there are VIPs, Hao Mei almost burst out laughing when he heard it.
Hao Mei runs to food stalls every day during these days, and has special treatment. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is KO's friend.The waiters in the store are all restless masters, they always have to chat with Hao Mei when they see Hao Mei, and Hao Mei has a lively personality, everyone quickly became friends.
"Brother Heimei, do you know what KO's girlfriend looks like?" While the store was not busy, a waiter with glasses came up to Hao Mei's side to gossip: "Is she a beautiful woman?"
"You don't believe me, you're too young," another student came over, "Do you think handsome guys can find beautiful women these days? Beautiful women like rich people, no matter how handsome they are, what's the use of being poor?"
"Don't speak ill of our girls here!" The student girl came with a snack. Today's snack is the honey three knives that Hao Mei mentioned to KO last night. "It's not that you haven't seen the text message KO received. It's definitely a bad hobby. How can you measure it with such a superficial thing as money?"
Hao Mei was listening with question marks all over her head. If he said he didn't understand others, this KO lived under the same roof as him, so he didn't know if he had a girlfriend?She's just a bachelor, where did she get a girlfriend from?
"Uh, he..." Hao Mei thought for a while, but changed the way of saying: "How do you know he has a girlfriend? He didn't say it himself, did he?"
"How can you? Brother KO said a few words when he was training his apprentices. At other times, it's like a word like gold. It's better to expect gold bars from the sky than to expect him to gossip." The waiter wearing glasses shook his head: "Yes Once we accidentally read a text message from his girlfriend."
"A text message from your girlfriend?" Hao Mei wondered, "What text message?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, everyone seemed to be in a tizzy, and all the paparazzi were full of energy, scrambling to recite the content of the text message.The waiter wearing glasses said in an exaggerated tone: "I can't reach you, do you know how anxious I am? Can you understand this feeling?" The student boy next to him continued in an affectionate tone: " Can you stop doing this in the future, I'm about to collapse!"
The two were full of emotion, as if they were acting in a Qiong Yao drama in the 80s, which made the student girl goosebumps all over her body: "Hey, you two, you are gay in gay."
Hao Mei was eating Misandao, when she heard the words, she almost choked and coughed for a long time before she could catch her breath—this text message is too familiar, is it me who sent it? ? ?
"How do you know it was sent by your girlfriend?" Hao Mei grabbed another honey knife and stuffed it into her mouth, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"We were just guessing, but KO didn't refute." The student scratched his chin and recalled: "And when the red envelopes were distributed years ago, the boss specially stuffed KO with a few more, asking him to buy gifts for his girlfriend, KO I also accept it, isn't this just a matter of fact!"
Hey, good you KO, after a long time, it turns out that you used my text messages to bluff and cheat, and you won’t take any points from me if you get a few hundred dollars more.Hao brows were blushing and he thought about his heart, decided to take revenge secretly, cleared his throat and said: "Since you all know, I have nothing to hide. His girlfriend is [-] tall and stronger than a cow. Blacker than briquettes, not a beauty at all!"
"Wow, it's real or not," the waiter wearing glasses was startled, "I can't tell that Brother KO has such a strong taste!"
"Look at what I'm talking about, isn't she a beauty?" The student stretched out his hand proudly: "Give me money."
"I thought Brother KO liked cute ones, even if they weren't cute girls, they had to be cute boys? Stronger than a cow, darker than coal balls... This world is too cruel... .” The student girl reluctantly took out a ten-dollar card and patted it into the hands of the student: “The last time I won from you, it’s still warm.”
Only then did Hao Mei realize that this group of people were not gossiping, they were simply gambling, and it was not the first time they heard the tone——Is the expensive food stall okay?It's fine for the chef to go to the boss with a text message to cheat money, and even the waiter openly gambles during working hours.
"Do you guys understand the rules?" Hao Mei stretched out her hand, "It's worth seeing, otherwise I'll tell KO."
The student hurriedly pulled out a 10 yuan sheet and put it on the table: "Brother Mei, please spare me."
"Because you are so sensible, let me give you some more information." Hao Mei smiled and ate Misan Dao, and put the money into her pocket: "You can't say it."
Usually in food stalls, it is boring to carry the dishes or clean the tables and chairs. When they heard about the gossip, everyone cheered up and sat down at the table with small stools.
Hao Mei wanted to ruin KO's image in front of these children, so she deliberately said: "Let me tell you, KO's girlfriend, that's very bad, so why not do anything, and eat whatever you want." He pondered Seeing that the text message was sent by himself anyway, he simply took advantage of his own shortcomings and said, "I don't know how to cook or do housework. If it weren't for KO to take care of me, the family would have been a mess, and my personality is out of control." It's not gentle, it's just..." When he was talking happily, he saw a few people on the opposite side winking at him, with facial nerves twitching.
"...Huh? What's wrong with your eyes? Are you fascinated by the sand?" Hao Mei was puzzled when she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck and touched it with a cool hand. KO's deep voice came from the top of her head: "Talk what?"
——Holding the grass, he was caught straight.
Hao Mei shrank her neck, and quickly apologized with a smile: "No, I didn't talk about anything..."
KO squeezed the nape of Hao Mei's neck like catching a kitten, and said with a half-smile: "Speak ill of my girlfriend?"
Everyone immediately waved their hands, shaking their heads like rattles: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dare..."
"To clarify," KO bent down, took a sip of tea from Hao Mei's cup slowly, and smiled at the corner of his eyes: "It's not a beauty, but it's very cute."
Single dogs showed expressions of choking on dog food.
"As for not knowing how to cook and not doing housework, I can't blame him. I'm used to it."
After finishing speaking, KO put down his teacup and returned to the back kitchen calmly, ignoring the wailing of a group of single people whose eyes were blinded by titanium alloy.
——It's too scary, I didn't expect to be anti-molested.
Hao Mei slammed her forehead on the table with a bang, her face was hot and hot, she wished she could find someone to dig a hole to bury herself in.
24.
The days go by day by day, winter turns to spring, and the weather gradually warms up. Although it is still a bit chilly at night, it is already the season to put tables, chairs and barbecue stalls outside the food stalls.
Hao Mei is keen on grilled scallops. Sometimes she is so busy with deliveries that she doesn’t have time for dinner, so she would go to the food stall to order a barbecue after get off work—of course, she asked Chef KO to bake it herself.
The VIP seat next to the oven is Hao Mei's special seat. Not only can you eat the freshest barbecue at the first time, but you can also watch the heroic appearance of Chef KO at close range. " and the like.
Others naturally don’t have this kind of treatment. The regular customers who come here for the chef’s skills know KO’s temper. He has his own theory on cooking, and he has the final say on how delicious or not. Pointing and making random requests sometimes made him feel uncomfortable, and when his face turned dark, he could stop the child from crying at night.
But in the face of Hao Mei, KO seemed to have turned on the loving father mode. Not to mention his obedience, he always had a faint smile on his face, and he had attracted many young girls.
On that day, Hao Mei delivered the package far away, missed dinner, and was already so hungry that her chest was on her back when she got off work. As soon as she arrived at the food stall, she hurriedly sat down in front of the barbecue stall, and opened her mouth to announce the name of the dish: " Grilled chicken wings, grilled scallops, grilled rice cakes, potato slices and lamb skewers..."
KO knew from this posture that he hadn't eaten dinner, so he frowned and ordered the waiter to bring a bowl of nutritious porridge from the back kitchen, which was still steaming hot when he put it in front of Hao Mei, "Drink the porridge first, and then you can eat the barbecue after drinking it. "
"Wow, it's chicken porridge with mushrooms!" Hao Mei picked up a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth: "KO, do you know how to read minds, you know why I like it."
KO didn't speak, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he helped Hao Mei bake chicken wings.Xindao, this little guy is really simple, what he likes and dislikes is almost written on his face, he will eat the dishes he likes with bright eyes, and the ones he doesn't like will show a painful expression, as long as he observes carefully, he will touch it over time The door is cleared.
After Hao Mei finished drinking the porridge, she felt a warmth flow from her stomach to her heart, and she was extremely comfortable. She regretted countless times why she didn't know KO earlier, it was simply a great regret in life.
There are not many people eating supper at the stall today, KO and Hao Mei eat one by one, chatting with each other, very leisurely.
Hao Mei was eating happily with the chicken wings in her mouth, when she suddenly felt something cool dripping on her forehead, before he could react, the water droplets became denser and fell on Hao Mei's body tick by tick. It was actually raining.
KO hurriedly collected the ingredients and ordered the waiter to carry the oven into the room, while Hao Mei carried her own plate and followed in to hide from the rain, and in a hurry, she still had the bone of the chicken wing in her mouth and forgot to spit it out.
The ancients said that spring rain is like crisp, moisturizing things silently.The rain happened to be fierce tonight, and when everyone was busy clearing the tables and chairs outside, it was already crashing.
Several people stood in the room and looked at each other, a little at a loss.
With such a heavy rain, it is impossible for anyone to come to eat barbecue, so we can only close here.But the boss wasn't there, and everyone didn't dare to make up their minds, and all looked eagerly at KO.
KO dusted off the rainwater on his body, found two old umbrellas from the warehouse in the back kitchen, handed one to the student girl and the other to the other two boys: "Go back first."
The student girl tried the umbrella in her hand, it was very old, but it was barely usable: "What about Brother Mei?"
Hao Mei waved her hand: "It's okay, I live nearby, you go back quickly, and be careful of the car on the road."
The rental house of KO and Hao Mei is indeed not far from the food stall, and if you run, you can get there in more than ten minutes.
But the rain outside was getting heavier, and the night was so dark that people dared not act rashly.
The two turned their heads in the warehouse for a long time, but they didn't find the third umbrella.
"Why don't we go back with this?" Hao Mei had already begun to let go of her thoughts, pointing to the big summer sunshade: "I hope the passing police don't treat us as crazy."
"You can't lift it." KO shook his head amusedly: "Forget it, let's stay overnight."

Since sharing the apartment with Hao Mei, KO has rarely spent the night at food stalls, and would go home to sleep no matter how late it was. Sometimes when there were too many people eating supper, he would simply leave the stall to his apprentices and run away by himself.
The boss complained about this, but since KO is the backbone of the food stall, there is no other way but to say a few words.As long as the wages are not deducted, KO will be painless, and the left ear will go in and the right ear will go out, and continue to go its own way.
There was no way to take a shower in the food stall, so Hao Mei casually wiped her body with a towel soaked in hot water, and changed into the long-sleeved T-shirt that KO had put here before.
"Your clothes are a bit big." Hao Mei rolled up her trouser legs, and tugged at the hem of her clothes that covered her thighs: "It's so unfair, you're so much taller than me."
KO wiped the spring bed that had not been used for a long time with a damp rag, put the bedding in the closet on the bed, and when he turned his head, he saw Hao Mei standing in the doorway wearing his own T-shirt. I wonder if it was because the clothes were a little too big, Hao Mei seemed to be looking She looked even petite than usual, with a towel draped around her neck, her collarbone looming from the wide neckline.
Obviously they lived together every day, but today's Hao Mei made KO couldn't take his eyes off, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Hao Mei was unaware of the hot gaze, and climbed onto the spring bed on her own: "It's so narrow, can we squeeze it in? Will it fall?"
KO pushed the bed to the corner, close to the wall: "You sleep in it."
Hao Mei nodded, and got into bed with her back against the wall.
The size of the box spring wasn't roomy for a single person, let alone two big men.When KO also lay down on it, there was almost no space left on the bed.
Hao Mei was caught between KO and the wall and couldn't move. The tip of her nose was facing KO's chest.
Leaving aside the experience of sleeping in the same bed with her parents when she was a child, Hao Mei has never slept with anyone so intimately. The heartbeat, breathing, and skin temperature of each other are transmitted and penetrated through the thin T-shirt. As he spoke, his body tensed up involuntarily, and he became slightly hot, and he didn't know whether it was cramped or shy.
Compared to Hao Mei's stiffness, KO's performance was quite natural. He held Hao Mei in his arms and patted the quilt: "Can't sleep?"
"Yes, a little..." Hao Mei poked KO's arm:
The deadline given by the landlord was mid-February, but Hao Mei couldn't wait, and after two days of returning home to clean up, she began to make arrangements to move.
Clothes, books, computers, pots and pans, I don’t know if I don’t clean them up, and I only realize that I have so many messy things when I pack them.Hao Mei sealed up the last box of sundries, and sat panting in the middle of the big and small bags, thankful that she asked KO to help, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry it all by herself.
KO did not know where to get the trolley, and it was parked under Hao Meilou, waiting for him to move things onto the trolley one after another.
"Hey, don't be too heavy, this is all my belongings." Hao Mei climbed into the car with a smile, and sat back to back with KO.
"Not sinking," KO took the last puff of the cigarette, stepped on the pedal with the cigarette butt in his mouth: "Sit still."
The cart accelerated slowly, and the steep wind brushed against the face, bringing the coldness and refreshingness of early spring.
The streets are bustling again, with crowds in twos and threes, reopened shops, the city is regaining its original rhythm.
Hao Mei was sitting bored, tearing open a lollipop and holding it in her mouth, then turned her head to KO's ear: "Where did you find this scooter?"
"It's for food stalls, and I keep the key here." A faint sweet smell wafted from his face, and KO glanced at Hao's bulging mouth, sniffing: "Coke flavor?"
"You are using this bus for private use, Comrade KO." Hao Mei took out another one from her pocket, tore off the candy wrapper and brought it to KO's mouth, and took the cigarette butt from KO's mouth by the way: "I forgot to tell you, In the future, I will wrong you to eat candy at home to relieve boredom, I am allergic to the smell of cigarettes. If you smoke, I will burst into tears."
KO held the lollipop in his mouth and tasted it twice, "Yes, better than smoking."
"Really?" Hao smacked his eyebrows and smacked his lips: "Then you might as well quit smoking. Smoking too much is bad for your lungs."
KO hummed vaguely: "It can be considered."
The two were chatting with each other, when a cart with a similar shape rode out from the entrance of the roadside vegetable market, an old farmer was staring at the cart in front, and there were all kinds of fruits and vegetables piled up on the cart. It was for delivery to restaurants.There was an old lady sitting in the back, looking at her watch and urging loudly: "Old man, ride faster, we're going to be late!"
"Okay~!" The old man yelled, and the car creaked and overtook it, gradually disappearing from sight.
"Wow, even the old man can ride faster than you." Hao Mei poked KO's back mischievously, and said imitatively: "Old man, ride faster."
I thought that KO's serious character would not pay attention to his nonsense at all, but he really mobilized his strength and replied in a calm voice: "Okay."
Going for a ride is always a pleasant mood. Looking at the receding street scenes on both sides, Hao Mei felt like a child riding on a merry-go-round. She couldn't help shaking her feet and humming a song. The sound floated intermittently in the air against the wind.
KO has heard this song before. The barber shop opposite the food stall always likes to turn on the stereo and play some loud pop songs. You can’t listen to it. The brainwashed lyrics can’t stop jumping out when they meet the familiar melody. One sentence appeared in my mind.
——"Love ing, happy~ing, the mood is like sitting on a jet plane~?"
20.
KO's house is a typical single apartment, with one bedroom and one living room, which is just right for ordinary people to live in, but KO's things are pitifully small, so it looks a bit empty.When the second person entered, the narrowness of the house was revealed. There were cardboard boxes piled up on the floor and tables, and it was impossible to clean them up.
Hao Mei sat on the stool in the living room, and Ge You was paralyzed. Looking at the floor where there was nowhere to put his feet, he felt tired. He stood up several times to clean up, looked at the messy boxes for a long time, and collapsed back in frustration.
KO returned the trolley, and when he got home, he was shocked to see this dire scene.He carefully picked up the empty space on the ground and walked into the house, seeing Hao Mei's expression of lovelessness, he couldn't help unpacking the bottle of Yakult that he bought by chance when he came back with some amusement and handing it to him: "Thirsty or not? "
"Extremely thirsty," Hao Mei tore open the package and took a sip, licked his lips and said with a smile, "It's a timely gift!"
Afraid that he didn't have enough to drink, KO stuffed the rest into his hands: "Let's rest for a while." After saying that, he bent down and began to pack the boxes.
"Hey, don't do it, I'll do it!" Hao Mei jumped up from the stool: "You are already tired enough to help me transport so many things by bicycle early in the morning, I will do it myself!"
KO nodded, but kept moving his hands. He picked out the boxes containing bedroom items such as clothes and bedding and moved them into the bedroom, beckoning to Hao Mei: "Clean up the bedroom first."
Hao Mei got into the bedroom obediently, and stuffed her clothes into the closet one by one, while KO went back to the living room to help organize the rest of the things—he originally thought that the things in the bedroom were more private, and it was inconvenient for him to touch them. , the remaining pots and pans can still be tidied up for Hao Mei. I never thought that the little guy didn't sort them carefully when he packed them. He just packed a few bags whole, mixing many things together.
KO looked at the soap box that was put into the pot, and poured out two books from the shoe box, and finally found a bag of changed underwear in the cloth bag of the toiletries. Suddenly, one head and two were big, and I couldn’t help but start Wondering how Hao Mei lived these days.
Two hours after he finished tidying up the living room, Hao Mei in the back room was still humming and humming at work. KO knew that he couldn't do it at all, so he went into the back room to help.At that time, Hao Mei was trying her best to close the door of the closet that was about to burst, the bed had already been made, and the bedding was fairly tidy, but there were still a lot of bits and pieces piled up on the floor and on the bed.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't finished tidying up yet. It's a bit messy now." Hao Mei pressed her back against the closet door, trying to squeeze back the overflowing clothes, and said with a dry smile, "This closet is a little bit small. ……Ha ha……"
This room was originally shared by two students. The bed, wardrobe, and bedside table were all identical two-piece sets, neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the room, presenting a perfect symmetry.
Now it is more like the central axis of the Dao, two completely different territories are clearly demarcated, the right side is dazzling, but the left side is as clean as before, without thinking, it must be Hao Mei's masterpiece. KO reluctantly went up to help deal with the crumbling closet: "It's okay to put the things that can't be cleaned up temporarily, and I don't need to be so clear."
Hao Mei shook her head: "I can tell you are the kind of person who loves to be tidy. If I really let you fly, you will definitely not be able to bear it." Speaking sharply, he saw the box that crossed the boundary, and quickly jumped over to kick the thing back to himself. One side: "I'm used to being messy at home, and I will change it in the future."
——In fact, it’s okay if you don’t change it, KO said silently in his heart, although he is a bit of a clean freak, but the way the house is full of things looks extraordinarily lively.The cups on the dressing table became two, the chairs in the living room became a pair, and even the slippers on the shoe cabinet by the door were added.Obviously there is only one more person, but it adds several times the color. The noisy air dilutes the desertedness and warms people from the bottom of their hearts.
In the end, KO helped solve the wardrobe, hanging what should be hung, stacking what should be folded, temporarily storing out-of-season clothes in the drawer, and the wardrobe is neat and tidy, Hao Mei is extremely convinced.
"Awesome, so virtuous!" Hao Mei sighed: "If you are a girl, you must be very popular!" After that, she felt that it was inappropriate to say that to a big man, scratched her head and said: "Ah, I don't mean anything else , is a metaphor.”
"Yeah." KO has gotten used to Hao Mei's speaking style, and knows how to focus on listening. Those unnutritious thoughts go directly from the left ear to the right, and don't take it to heart at all: "What do you want for lunch?"
"Anything is fine! I can make whatever I have at home, I'm not picky!" Hao Mei smiled happily: "Anyway, everything you cook is delicious."
Facts have proved that KO is indeed a very virtuous and good roommate at home—he cooked Hao Mei’s favorite dishes for lunch and dinner, with meat and vegetables and soup.It was clear that one would cook and one wash the dishes, but after Hao Mei lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone for a while to digest the full part of the meal, KO had already cleaned up the dinner dishes.
Hao Mei watched KO wipe the last plate and put it in the cabinet, scratching her head in embarrassment: "Didn't we agree that I will do the dishes?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it." KO said calmly, nonchalantly: "The water is ready, take a bath?"
Hao Mei nodded, grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom. After he took off his clothes and turned on the faucet, he realized that the water heater in this house is old-fashioned. You have to heat up the water in the water tank before you can use it. It takes about 30 minutes to burn it once. , the amount of water is enough for one person to take a bath.
He remembered that when he had just graduated and worked in Zhiyi, because he was too poor to rent a house, he had to apply for a collective dormitory arranged by the company. The capacity of the water heater in the dormitory was smaller than that here. There was always a big fight in the shower, and Hao Mei, as the weakest one, was the last one almost every time. After waiting one or two hours before it was his turn, life was miserable.
But society is like this. Without the shelter of your parents, no one will take care of you, and no one will treat you as a child.Everyone is working hard for themselves, and each eats according to his ability.Boys living in the same dormitory often argue about who should take out the trash today and who should sweep the floor tomorrow. The way to live in peace is not to tolerate each other, but to strictly enforce the schedule, and everyone can do their own work. Thanks to the housework within, it is impossible to share more with others.
In contrast, KO's attitude towards him is really flattering. Compared with ordinary roommates, it is more like a host entertaining guests.
Hao Mei sighed, and washed her whole body as quickly as possible, hoping to save half of the hot water for KO as much as possible.
"From tomorrow onwards, I must help with the housework..." Hao Mei wiped her face, wiped her body casually with a bath towel, and put on a clean pajamas.
21.
When KO returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, Hao Mei was still nestled under the quilt playing with her mobile phone.
"Go to bed early." KO sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his hair, "I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Are you guys going to start work too?" Hao Mei pressed the phone off and put it next to the pillow: "I thought express delivery was the first."
"The restaurant is similar." KO set the alarm clock to 7 o'clock: "Have breakfast at home?"
"I guess it's too late, I'm going to go out early in the morning." Hao Mei yawned: "But since you're open, I'll go to your place for lunch. Our company's lunch boxes are terrible, and sometimes I can give them away. If it’s far away, it might not be possible to go back and get it.”
KO nodded: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll prepare it for you in advance."
"Fried Chicken Rice Bowl!" Hao Mei licked the corner of her mouth, "I have eaten this at your food stall, it was delicious, but sometimes it tastes heavenly, and sometimes it's horrible, you must not be the only one who made it?"
"There are two apprentices." KO nodded: "Your tongue is very good."
"Of course!" Hao Mei proudly said, "It's not me bragging. When I was young, my dad regarded me as a rising star in the chef world. He said that my tongue is not a chef. I am blind. It's a pity that I only have the talent to eat but not to cook. , After studying with my dad for a year, he gave up, and he was so mad at the old man."
In fact, in the chef's profession, talent is second, and the most important thing is to be able to endure hardships.Standing in the kitchen for a day, the big spoons in the hands are getting heavier and heavier, and even experienced workers will occasionally suffer some knife wounds and scalds. How can ordinary children with parents doting on them bear it.
KO can roughly see that the conditions of Hao Mei's family are not too bad, even if they can't be a chef, they won't have to do the hard and tiring work of express delivery.Although he had doubts in his heart, he still didn't ask in the end.The only way is that everyone has hard-to-recite scriptures in their hearts, and it is not enough for outsiders to explain.
Seeing that KO was silent for a while, Hao Mei couldn't help but start talking again: "Your craft doesn't look like self-taught, and your way is very correct. Did you go to culinary school?"
KO shook his head: "I dropped out of school when I was 14 and went out to work. I learned from the master chef in the restaurant."
"Dropping out of school?" Hao Mei was startled. She didn't expect that there are still children who drop out of school in the city in this era: "Why? Compulsory education doesn't cost much."
KO usually rarely talks about himself with others. After all, no one cares about your past for no reason these days. They are more or less for the purpose of spying on you. Only this big boy in front of you is lying on the bed and revealing your past. A furry head, a pair of black eyes blinked and blinked, and the warm yellow light at the head of the bed drew a soft and comfortable space around him, making people more harmless.
"My family had a car accident that year, and I was the only one left." KO finally opened his mouth: "At that time, the house at home was also rented. If I didn't go out to work, I didn't even have a place to live."
Hao Mei's expression froze on her face, and she thought to herself that this is a bad dish, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted, and asked a topic that should not be asked.He is also not good at comforting people, so he scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time before he could say: "Well... you are also very good now, better than those formally trained chefs!"
"Yeah." KO nodded. The family affairs have passed for more than ten years. He has already passed the age where he would be sad when he mentioned it. Feeling warm: "Go to sleep, I will make fried chicken rice for you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Upon hearing that there was something to eat, Hao Mei immediately put everything else behind her and turned off the desk lamp cheerfully: "Good night."
KO said good night lightly, suddenly plunged into a dark room made people feel a little uncomfortable, so that when he closed his eyes, there was still Hao Mei's crooked eyebrows smiling before turning off the lights.
22.
Food stalls opened earlier than other restaurants, and with the high quality and low price, the business is booming.
KO rested at home for a few days, more or less a bit of vacation syndrome, and would stay in the sweltering heat of the kitchen and listen to the schoolgirls in the hall urging the dishes, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
The most popular food stall at noon is the rice bowl series. One dish is a box of rice. It is cheap and full, and it is convenient to take away. It is especially popular among office workers.What kind of tomato scrambled egg rice bowl, fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl, braised lion's head rice bowl... I made one after another, the process was the same, and it was so boring that KO felt physiological when he heard the waiter's shouting rice bowl Disgusted, he simply threw away the spatula and let the two apprentices deal with it.
"A fried chicken rice bowl at table 7!" The student girl ran in, her pigtails jumping up and down: "The guest said that the chef must make it himself."
KO was standing aside with a cigarette in his mouth watching the apprentices cooking, when he heard two puffs of smoke coming out of his nose: "I like to eat or not."
The student girl shrank her neck. This KO chef is usually easy to get along with, but when she is angry, she is very scary. She has seen the apprentices of the back chef being trained to be bloody several times. At this time, she can't help but shrink back and say: " Uh... that guest said that he made an appointment with you yesterday..."
KO stopped smoking, poked his head out from the back kitchen and looked in the direction of table 7, and sure enough, he saw Hao Mei lying on the table and smiling at him.
The boy was wearing a courier uniform, with the peaked cap on his head turned upside down, and the bangs on his forehead were exposed from under the brim of the hat, messily curled up, making people want to touch him and help him straighten his mischievous hair.
The appearance of Hao Mei was like a cool breeze, sweeping away the boredom and heat accumulated in the back kitchen. KO took down his half-smoked cigarette, and made a "goodbye" gesture across the noisy lobby.
The ingredients for this fried chicken rice bowl are prepared long ago, and the best and freshest chicken nuggets are selected. KO grabbed the collar and slipped an apprentice down from the premise of the stove, and went to battle with the ingredients himself.The oil used for this fried chicken nugget is all new, and a poached egg and a vegetable are also added by the way.The student girl was holding the plate of extraordinarily rich fried chicken and rice, and suddenly she was a little confused: "Brother KO, can the guests who have made an appointment still be able to add more dishes?... Oh no, when will we have an appointment service?"
KO put down the spatula, threw the apprentices to work, and walked aside calmly: "It didn't exist."
The student girl let out an "oh", she couldn't turn her head after a busy noon, she carried the plate out of the back kitchen ignorantly, and always felt that something was wrong.
23.
Since sharing the rent with KO, Hao Mei's life is like a mouse falling into a honeypot.
In the morning, it was too late to have breakfast at home, so KO helped him heat up steamed buns; he went to food stalls for dinner at noon and evening, and the amount of food was obviously more than three times that of others; They were all cleaned up by KO, even the clothes were washed and hung on the balcony.
When Hao Mei first moved in, she swore that she would be in charge of washing the dishes, but now the two of them eat almost all of their meals at the food stalls, and there is basically nothing to do except help KO boil the bath water in advance.
Hao Mei is 100 percent satisfied with this kind of life where clothes come out of her hands, her hands eat, and her mouth opens her mouth. However, she is also a little bit guilty. Daily consumables such as shampoo are basically bought by Hao Mei. Occasionally, he is also responsible for utility bills. KO asked for AA several times, but Hao Mei didn’t agree. In the end, he simply cut the rent by half, but this was only KO’s unilateral decision. It means that how much money should be paid every month, Hao Mei puts every cent into the KO card.
KO said that he couldn't beat Hao Mei, so he could only silently spoil her. Every day, there was no increase in the amount of lunch and dinner, and there was also a fruit plate of snacks after the meal.
That day Hao Mei was sitting at a food stall eating his luxurious rice bowl. The student girl came over and brought him a fruit plate, which contained apples, oranges and grapes. Each petal has been peeled, and the two sides are tilted up like a boat. The stems of the grapes have been removed one by one, and they have been soaked in warm salt water.
The uncle at the next table looked at it and shouted: "I said, little girl, why is the fruit plate you gave him different from mine!"
Hao Mei followed the prestige, and the fruit plate on that table was full of whole fruits, not to mention peeled and diced, at most they had been washed with water.
Food stalls are no better than star-rated restaurants. The fruit plate is actually just washing a few fruits and serving it to you. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. It’s just that there is a gap in comparison. Anyone who sees Hao Mei’s fruit plate will think "I may have eaten a fake fruit plate". Confuse.
The student girl flicked her pigtails and said nonsense in a serious manner: "Sorry, this is our VIP customer."
There is only a roadside food stall and there are VIPs, Hao Mei almost burst out laughing when he heard it.
Hao Mei runs to food stalls every day during these days, and has special treatment. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is KO's friend.The waiters in the store are all restless masters, they always have to chat with Hao Mei when they see Hao Mei, and Hao Mei has a lively personality, everyone quickly became friends.
"Brother Heimei, do you know what KO's girlfriend looks like?" While the store was not busy, a waiter with glasses came up to Hao Mei's side to gossip: "Is she a beautiful woman?"
"You don't believe me, you're too young," another student came over, "Do you think handsome guys can find beautiful women these days? Beautiful women like rich people, no matter how handsome they are, what's the use of being poor?"
"Don't speak ill of our girls here!" The student girl came with a snack. Today's snack is the honey three knives that Hao Mei mentioned to KO last night. "It's not that you haven't seen the text message KO received. It's definitely a bad hobby. How can you measure it with such a superficial thing as money?"
Hao Mei was listening with question marks all over her head. If he said he didn't understand others, this KO lived under the same roof as him, so he didn't know if he had a girlfriend?She's just a bachelor, where did she get a girlfriend from?
"Uh, he..." Hao Mei thought for a while, but changed the way of saying: "How do you know he has a girlfriend? He didn't say it himself, did he?"
"How can you? Brother KO said a few words when he was training his apprentices. At other times, it's like a word like gold. It's better to expect gold bars from the sky than to expect him to gossip." The waiter wearing glasses shook his head: "Yes Once we accidentally read a text message from his girlfriend."
"A text message from your girlfriend?" Hao Mei wondered, "What text message?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, everyone seemed to be in a tizzy, and all the paparazzi were full of energy, scrambling to recite the content of the text message.The waiter wearing glasses said in an exaggerated tone: "I can't reach you, do you know how anxious I am? Can you understand this feeling?" The student boy next to him continued in an affectionate tone: " Can you stop doing this in the future, I'm about to collapse!"
The two were full of emotion, as if they were acting in a Qiong Yao drama in the 80s, which made the student girl goosebumps all over her body: "Hey, you two, you are gay in gay."
Hao Mei was eating Misandao, when she heard the words, she almost choked and coughed for a long time before she could catch her breath—this text message is too familiar, is it me who sent it? ? ?
"How do you know it was sent by your girlfriend?" Hao Mei grabbed another honey knife and stuffed it into her mouth, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"We were just guessing, but KO didn't refute." The student scratched his chin and recalled: "And when the red envelopes were distributed years ago, the boss specially stuffed KO with a few more, asking him to buy gifts for his girlfriend, KO I also accept it, isn't this just a matter of fact!"
Hey, good you KO, after a long time, it turns out that you used my text messages to bluff and cheat, and you won’t take any points from me if you get a few hundred dollars more.Hao brows were blushing and he thought about his heart, decided to take revenge secretly, cleared his throat and said: "Since you all know, I have nothing to hide. His girlfriend is [-] tall and stronger than a cow. Blacker than briquettes, not a beauty at all!"
"Wow, it's real or not," the waiter wearing glasses was startled, "I can't tell that Brother KO has such a strong taste!"
"Look at what I'm talking about, isn't she a beauty?" The student stretched out his hand proudly: "Give me money."
"I thought Brother KO liked cute ones, even if they weren't cute girls, they had to be cute boys? Stronger than a cow, darker than coal balls... This world is too cruel... .” The student girl reluctantly took out a ten-dollar card and patted it into the hands of the student: “The last time I won from you, it’s still warm.”
Only then did Hao Mei realize that this group of people were not gossiping, they were simply gambling, and it was not the first time they heard the tone——Is the expensive food stall okay?It's fine for the chef to go to the boss with a text message to cheat money, and even the waiter openly gambles during working hours.
"Do you guys understand the rules?" Hao Mei stretched out her hand, "It's worth seeing, otherwise I'll tell KO."
The student hurriedly pulled out a 10 yuan sheet and put it on the table: "Brother Mei, please spare me."
"Because you are so sensible, let me give you some more information." Hao Mei smiled and ate Misan Dao, and put the money into her pocket: "You can't say it."
Usually in food stalls, it is boring to carry the dishes or clean the tables and chairs. When they heard about the gossip, everyone cheered up and sat down at the table with small stools.
Hao Mei wanted to ruin KO's image in front of these children, so she deliberately said: "Let me tell you, KO's girlfriend, that's very bad, so why not do anything, and eat whatever you want." He pondered Seeing that the text message was sent by himself anyway, he simply took advantage of his own shortcomings and said, "I don't know how to cook or do housework. If it weren't for KO to take care of me, the family would have been a mess, and my personality is out of control." It's not gentle, it's just..." When he was talking happily, he saw a few people on the opposite side winking at him, with facial nerves twitching.
"...Huh? What's wrong with your eyes? Are you fascinated by the sand?" Hao Mei was puzzled when she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck and touched it with a cool hand. KO's deep voice came from the top of her head: "Talk what?"
——Holding the grass, he was caught straight.
Hao Mei shrank her neck, and quickly apologized with a smile: "No, I didn't talk about anything..."
KO squeezed the nape of Hao Mei's neck like catching a kitten, and said with a half-smile: "Speak ill of my girlfriend?"
Everyone immediately waved their hands, shaking their heads like rattles: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dare..."
"To clarify," KO bent down, took a sip of tea from Hao Mei's cup slowly, and smiled at the corner of his eyes: "It's not a beauty, but it's very cute."
Single dogs showed expressions of choking on dog food.
"As for not knowing how to cook and not doing housework, I can't blame him. I'm used to it."
After finishing speaking, KO put down his teacup and returned to the back kitchen calmly, ignoring the wailing of a group of single people whose eyes were blinded by titanium alloy.
——It's too scary, I didn't expect to be anti-molested.
Hao Mei slammed her forehead on the table with a bang, her face was hot and hot, she wished she could find someone to dig a hole to bury herself in.
24.
The days go by day by day, winter turns to spring, and the weather gradually warms up. Although it is still a bit chilly at night, it is already the season to put tables, chairs and barbecue stalls outside the food stalls.
Hao Mei is keen on grilled scallops. Sometimes she is so busy with deliveries that she doesn’t have time for dinner, so she would go to the food stall to order a barbecue after get off work—of course, she asked Chef KO to bake it herself.
The VIP seat next to the oven is Hao Mei's special seat. Not only can you eat the freshest barbecue at the first time, but you can also watch the heroic appearance of Chef KO at close range. " and the like.
Others naturally don’t have this kind of treatment. The regular customers who come here for the chef’s skills know KO’s temper. He has his own theory on cooking, and he has the final say on how delicious or not. Pointing and making random requests sometimes made him feel uncomfortable, and when his face turned dark, he could stop the child from crying at night.
But in the face of Hao Mei, KO seemed to have turned on the loving father mode. Not to mention his obedience, he always had a faint smile on his face, and he had attracted many young girls.
On that day, Hao Mei delivered the package far away, missed dinner, and was already so hungry that her chest was on her back when she got off work. As soon as she arrived at the food stall, she hurriedly sat down in front of the barbecue stall, and opened her mouth to announce the name of the dish: " Grilled chicken wings, grilled scallops, grilled rice cakes, potato slices and lamb skewers..."
KO knew from this posture that he hadn't eaten dinner, so he frowned and ordered the waiter to bring a bowl of nutritious porridge from the back kitchen, which was still steaming hot when he put it in front of Hao Mei, "Drink the porridge first, and then you can eat the barbecue after drinking it. "
"Wow, it's chicken porridge with mushrooms!" Hao Mei picked up a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth: "KO, do you know how to read minds, you know why I like it."
KO didn't speak, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he helped Hao Mei bake chicken wings.Xindao, this little guy is really simple, what he likes and dislikes is almost written on his face, he will eat the dishes he likes with bright eyes, and the ones he doesn't like will show a painful expression, as long as he observes carefully, he will touch it over time The door is cleared.
After Hao Mei finished drinking the porridge, she felt a warmth flow from her stomach to her heart, and she was extremely comfortable. She regretted countless times why she didn't know KO earlier, it was simply a great regret in life.
There are not many people eating supper at the stall today, KO and Hao Mei eat one by one, chatting with each other, very leisurely.
Hao Mei was eating happily with the chicken wings in her mouth, when she suddenly felt something cool dripping on her forehead, before he could react, the water droplets became denser and fell on Hao Mei's body tick by tick. It was actually raining.
KO hurriedly collected the ingredients and ordered the waiter to carry the oven into the room, while Hao Mei carried her own plate and followed in to hide from the rain, and in a hurry, she still had the bone of the chicken wing in her mouth and forgot to spit it out.
The ancients said that spring rain is like crisp, moisturizing things silently.The rain happened to be fierce tonight, and when everyone was busy clearing the tables and chairs outside, it was already crashing.
Several people stood in the room and looked at each other, a little at a loss.
With such a heavy rain, it is impossible for anyone to come to eat barbecue, so we can only close here.But the boss wasn't there, and everyone didn't dare to make up their minds, and all looked eagerly at KO.
KO dusted off the rainwater on his body, found two old umbrellas from the warehouse in the back kitchen, handed one to the student girl and the other to the other two boys: "Go back first."
The student girl tried the umbrella in her hand, it was very old, but it was barely usable: "What about Brother Mei?"
Hao Mei waved her hand: "It's okay, I live nearby, you go back quickly, and be careful of the car on the road."
The rental house of KO and Hao Mei is indeed not far from the food stall, and if you run, you can get there in more than ten minutes.
But the rain outside was getting heavier, and the night was so dark that people dared not act rashly.
The two turned their heads in the warehouse for a long time, but they didn't find the third umbrella.
"Why don't we go back with this?" Hao Mei had already begun to let go of her thoughts, pointing to the big summer sunshade: "I hope the passing police don't treat us as crazy."
"You can't lift it." KO shook his head amusedly: "Forget it, let's stay overnight."
25.
Since sharing the apartment with Hao Mei, KO has rarely spent the night at food stalls, and would go home to sleep no matter how late it was. Sometimes when there were too many people eating supper, he would simply leave the stall to his apprentices and run away by himself.
The boss complained about this, but since KO is the backbone of the food stall, there is no other way but to say a few words.As long as the wages are not deducted, KO will be painless, and the left ear will go in and the right ear will go out, and continue to go its own way.
There was no way to take a shower in the food stall, so Hao Mei casually wiped her body with a towel soaked in hot water, and changed into the long-sleeved T-shirt that KO had put here before.
"Your clothes are a bit big." Hao Mei rolled up her trouser legs, and tugged at the hem of her clothes that covered her thighs: "It's so unfair, you're so much taller than me."
KO wiped the spring bed that had not been used for a long time with a damp rag, put the bedding in the closet on the bed, and when he turned his head, he saw Hao Mei standing in the doorway wearing his own T-shirt. I wonder if it was because the clothes were a little too big, Hao Mei seemed to be looking She looked even petite than usual, with a towel draped around her neck, her collarbone looming from the wide neckline.
Obviously they lived together every day, but today's Hao Mei made KO couldn't take his eyes off, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Hao Mei was unaware of the hot gaze, and climbed onto the spring bed on her own: "It's so narrow, can we squeeze it in? Will it fall?"
KO pushed the bed to the corner, close to the wall: "You sleep in it."
Hao Mei nodded, and got into bed with her back against the wall.
The size of the box spring wasn't roomy for a single person, let alone two big men.When KO also lay down on it, there was almost no space left on the bed.
Hao Mei was caught between KO and the wall and couldn't move. The tip of her nose was facing KO's chest.
Leaving aside the experience of sleeping in the same bed with her parents when she was a child, Hao Mei has never slept with anyone so intimately. The heartbeat, breathing, and skin temperature of each other are transmitted and penetrated through the thin T-shirt. As he spoke, his body tensed up involuntarily, and he became slightly hot, and he didn't know whether it was cramped or shy.
Compared to Hao Mei's stiffness, KO's performance was quite natural. He held Hao Mei in his arms and patted the quilt: "Can't sleep?"
"Yes, a little..." Hao Mei poked KO's arm:
