Other people's New Year can last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but dry food shops can't.Yue Fang and Bai Mo didn't rest for two days before they started working again.The reason was that someone from Pudu Temple came to him and asked him if he could make a batch of fruit offerings before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is called "Bao Wu" locally, which is the day to send off the gods of poverty and welcome the gods of wealth.Buyers and sellers basically set off firecrackers to worship God.

In fact, the big guys don't really believe in these things, the main reason is for auspiciousness.It is a good thing to have a relationship with a temple, because regardless of the size of the temple, there are always many sacrificial activities throughout the year.With stable customers, income will be more secure.Yue Fang only thought for a while before agreeing.

So of course there is a new round of busyness.During this period, there are also things like cooking New Year's dishes: stewed pig's trotters with pork elbows, and stewed beef with frozen skin and sauce.Yue Fang only felt that he hadn't had a "busy New Year" in fact, but he was unwilling to let the Chinese New Year not look like a Chinese New Year at all - a person's life is full of calculations, how many years can he live.

Bai Mo followed Yue Fang very diligently, only busy inside and out.Since he woke up, he has been quite capable.Quietly capable.Only when Yue Fang thinks about what to do sometimes will he find that Bai Mo has already done it well.During the Chinese New Year, he even found a chance to cook Yue Fang just one dinner.

A dry tofu sliced ​​as thin as a hair, a boiled chicken with bloodshot bones, a sliced ​​cucumber as thin as paper, and a fried prawn with no color at all.

Yue Fang only went out to make contact with the purchase, and when he came back upstairs, he saw these four small bowls on the table, with flowers carved from radishes beside them.The eight-treasure rice is in the middle of four dishes, occupying the largest bowl on the table.

Bai Mo pursed his lips, as if he was looking forward to it, and sometimes he seemed a little apprehensive.

Yue Fang was simply stunned.

That meal made his heart beat a lot.There is one thing to say, delicious food is delicious, but the taste is too bland, and the eight-treasure rice is made of glutinous rice, which is terribly sweet.The worst thing is that the portion is so small that it feels like there is nothing left after two chopsticks go down.On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Yue Fangzhi ate dinner with trepidation—because he had to be careful when stretching out his chopsticks, lest he accidentally pinch too much.

After eating a meal, Yue Fang only felt a little wronged.

This year's day, he didn't have enough to eat!

But it's not easy to say anything to Bai Mo.Bai Mo lowered his head, the smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of quiet loss.

He never speaks.Yue Fang only asked him what, and he would nod or shake his head at most.As a result, Yue Fang could not quite figure out what was going on in his heart most of the time.

It is said that people are also sober, they can't speak, at least they can write, right?Whether you are happy or not, what you want or not, you have to express your thoughts.

White ink does not.He was obedient to the point of disobedience, basically letting him do what he did, as if he didn't take himself seriously.

Yue Fang only thought about it, if one day he fell ill and wandered somewhere, he would always find a way to plan for himself when he woke up.Even if you can't speak, at least you have to convey your meaning to others.

Bai Mo didn't seem to have any plans.

This is really strange.He clearly understands everything and is not stupid.

Yue Fang only observed him secretly, and then slowly realized one thing: Bai Mo really wanted to stay - he wanted Yue Fang to only think that he was useful.He may not know how to please others, and the only way to express this desire is to do things carefully and diligently.

Thinking of this, Yue Fang's heart became sore and limp.

But how strange, Yue Fang didn't seem to know what to say to Bai Mo himself.He really couldn't think of anything else to say besides "You can live here in peace."

Sometimes the two of them slept together at night, and Yue Fang could only see the back of Bai Mo's head in the dark.He always wanted to reach out and rub it.But for some unknown reason, he felt embarrassed and stretched out his hand.

Don't wake people up, Yue Fang only thought so, and fell asleep quickly.He's always been able to fall asleep with the help of a pillow.

The new year is over, and the weather is getting warmer.In fact, it is still early before the beginning of spring, but the snow under the sun can no longer stand.When the sun is shining in the afternoon, the streets are often wet.Then when the sun goes down, the melted mud will quickly freeze into ice again.

Yue Fang only tied a sharp angle iron to the wooden stick to knock on the ice skates under the eaves—every time this kind of semi-melted and warmer season, this thing will appear under the eaves—— Looking at the shiny ones, they are actually more dangerous than knives.If one day the root breaks and falls down, it might kill someone—it’s on the news every year.

Bai Mo came in and out, and Yue Fang only told him a few times, telling him to stay away from buildings when walking on the street—especially those buildings with eaves.Bai Mo was very careful, and he did things safely. Yue Fang only explained things to him, and never had to talk about it a second time.Yue Fang only knew it in his heart, but every time he saw him busy outside the door, he couldn't help but remind him in vain.

Xiaohui and Yue Fang were only acquainted, and would occasionally joke about the boss, saying that he treated Bai Mo like a child.Yue Fang just didn't think so, he felt that he wasn't nagging——Bai Mo was obviously not a local, and the Bai Mo that the locals knew might have no idea at all.Yue Fang only felt that he had to emphasize this matter with him.

Unexpectedly, it was not the ice skater who caused the trouble.

There is water vapor in the steamed buns, and sometimes in this season, it will flow down the side of the stove to the ground, forming small ice flakes.Sometimes when the area is too large, Yue Fang will only use a pickaxe to break the piece of ice for fear of slipping the customer.Later, there was a buddy in the store, and Xiao Zheng was given the job.

Xiao Zheng has always been a little sloppy in his work, and there are so many things to do in the shop, he probably forgot sometimes.

The last stove of steamed buns was cooked in the evening, and there were still people queuing up to buy steamed buns.Bai Mo helped Yue Fang only pack dry food into the incubator—it was sent to the nursing home.After it was installed, it was carried on the motorcycle, just passing the stove.

It was already dark.With something in his hand, he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet, he just stepped on the ice and fell hard.

I don't even know how to count.At the place where Bai Mo fell, there happened to be a middle-aged woman in line with a teddy.

The puppy was frightened and became nervous, biting Bai Mo's exposed ankle.

When Yue Fang heard the sound and rushed out, Bai Mo was sitting on the ground holding the undamaged box tightly, and seemed to be in a daze.

Yue Fang only has an impression of the customers who often come to buy things.That woman never leads her dog when she walks, and her dog always jumps up and down--I have quarreled with others several times because of this matter.

Yue Fang hurriedly checked Bai Mo's foot - it was cut and bleeding.

At a certain moment, he felt that his hair was standing on end, and he wanted to kick the puppy to death.The little animal who wanted to die refused to give up, was hugged by its master, and was still yelling in a mighty way.

Yue Fang only grabbed the woman who turned around and wanted to leave, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything, let's go to the hospital together."

The woman began to mutter and evade, saying for a while that her dog had been vaccinated and must be fine; for a while she said that it was all wrong, and suddenly jumped out like that, scaring his baby.

Yue Fang was very firm, saying that they are all neighbors in the neighborhood. I know which courtyard and unit you live in. If you don't want to solve it properly, then we will call the police.

The woman finally gave in.

So Yue Fang only asked Xiaohui to deliver the goods, and took Bai Mo and the woman to the epidemic prevention clinic.

There is a 24-hour outpatient clinic, and there is also a doctor in the evening.The doctor asked about the situation and prescribed an injection. The woman reluctantly paid for the medical expenses, and then walked away holding the dog under the eyes of everyone condemning her.

The nurse washed Bai Mo's wound with soapy water, and sighed while washing: dog leashes and medical expenses are expensive and cheap, how come these people don't understand this account.

Bai Mo sat on the chair, his eyes were a little distracted, and his whole body was shaking slightly.Yue Fang was angry and distressed, but it was already like this, he could only hug Bai Mo silently: "It's okay. It's just a small incision, and it will be fine after the injection..."

Bai Mo grabbed the hem of his clothes, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Yue Fang just doesn't understand the origin of his fear, but he knows what he can do - hug someone, comfort him gently, tell him that it's okay, it's just a small accident, don't worry about anything, he will always be there...

Bai Mo remained silent.

Yue Fang only sighed deeply in his heart, and then greeted the eighteen generations of that woman's ancestors.

Back home, Yue Fang only asked Bai Mo to rest and finish the day's work by himself.Finally, he returned to the bedroom after finishing his work, and found that Bai Mo was still in the original posture, curled up on the bed quietly with his knees crossed.

Yue Fang just squatted down in front of him, and carefully looked into Bai Mo's eyes from below: "Do you feel better?"

Bai Mo nodded lightly.

Yue Fang just held his hand: "Don't think about it, I'm here. Don't be afraid."

Bai Mo's eyes finally had focus.He stared at Yue Fangzhi, a tear fell, and then more tears.

Yue Fang was only a little panicked: "Don't cry... What's wrong? Why are you crying..." He was at a loss, and finally had no other choice but to hug Bai Mo.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mo stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly.

Bai Mo's body was softer than Yue Fang only remembered, but not the softness of a woman.His body was slender and warm, with a slight trembling.

Wet tears trickled down Yue Fangzhi's neck.

Yue Fang only felt his heart beating wildly.

Bad food.He thought in a panic.Why did that mistake happen again?
