It's the end of November, and the chill in the middle of the night is getting heavier.
Ma's BBQ has always had a strong customer flow because of its fresh ingredients and great taste.
The charcoal fire jumped, reflecting Sister Ma's busy figure, and the skewers on the iron rack sizzled, exuding a very tempting aroma.
At the open-air table outside, three or five friends gathered together, and the sounds of laughter and conversation were intertwined with the smoke and spices of the barbecue, creating a unique barbecue atmosphere in Yuzhou.
Pei Yujing had a cold face, and her tall figure shuttled between the tables and chairs, serving grilled skewers or beer drinks.
It attracted admiring glances from many young men.
Deng Xiang looked at that figure and secretly smacked his tongue. Unfortunately, they ignored her at all.
It's no longer junior high school. Back then, Deng Xiang could catch up with the little girl as long as he used all his strength. But now, he can't show anything that makes people look at her.
Deng Xiang could only drown his sorrows with wine. Duan Shigang treated him to a treat today. He took a bunch of mutton skewers and boasted with his brothers.
The atmosphere was not affected at all by the presence of the unfamiliar Zhang Chi. As long as Zhang Chi was given a bite to eat, he would smile at everyone.
When Duan Shigang got excited about chatting, he saw a little yellow dog running around wagging his tail under his feet.
He became interested, put the mutton skewers at his feet, and said with a smile, "You've never eaten something as good as this, have you?"
The little yellow dog finished it in two bites.
Zhang Chi gave a thumbs up: "Brother Gang is awesome!"
Ge Hao: "Awesome, awesome, you are really willing to do it!"
Duan Shigang was praised by his brothers and fed two skewers to the little yellow dog.
He has an indescribable joy in his heart, and he will gain happiness by giving.
All the little yellow dogs were eaten.
Pei Yujing passed by carrying peanuts and broad beans. When she saw this scene, she hesitated and called out: "Stupid, don't eat it!"
She then said to Duan Shigang: "There is no need to feed Benben, he is a dog raised in the store."
After she finished speaking, she continued to serve the guests.
Several people at Duan Shigang's table looked at each other.
Wang Longlong at the table next to him was very happy: "It feels like a poor boy insisting on spending money for a wealthy family."
…
Hu Jun invited seven or eight people to treat him today, and all the people from the back row came.
A little further away, Chai Wei sat there alone, sitting alone at the table.
Normally Chai Wei would not come, but today he found one hundred and fifty yuan. These are ill-gotten gains and must be spent as soon as possible.
So he generously came to the barbecue stall, and all he ordered were chicken wings, squid, beef ribs, all expensive skewers.
Duan Shi was just embarrassed for a moment when Shen Xu suddenly answered the phone, as if he wanted to pay back money or something. He responded a few times and then immediately transferred it to someone via WeChat.
After Duan Shigang heard this, he took a sip of beer and said, "Xu Zi, you just owed money, right?"
Shen Xu said: "Hey, I took 100 from Shi Qianjin last time and I haven't paid it back for a while. He said he didn't have the phone bill and asked me to pay him back first. I called him back directly."
Ge Hao said: "Brother Xu has the strength, just take the 100 yuan!"
Don't look at him just messing around every day. In fact, his family knows his own affairs. Let alone 100 yuan, Ge Hao would have trouble getting 20 yuan.
His family background is average, and the living expenses provided by his parents are paid directly to the small dining table in the cafeteria, leaving only a little bit. He usually smokes, plays games, and buys drinks, but the money is simply not enough to spend. Sometimes he even has no money to buy a data pack.
So Ge Hao now has to go to the mobile business hall to sign in every day, hoping to use some data every month.
Who can I talk to with a handful of bitter tears?
Ge Hao's situation is quite good. Sometimes he can't contact his once-all-powerful brother because his cell phone is often out of service due to arrears.
Deng Xiang said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse."
Although Shen Xu's mobile phone empire has collapsed, the other party has many ways to get money, so he can always touch it.
After hearing this, Duan Shigang pointed out: "Actually, you'd better not say you forgot.
Because if you say you forgot, people will just think you have money and don’t want to pay it back.”
"You should say that you don't have any money now, and collect it as soon as possible to give it to you, and then wait until tomorrow to hand it over to him personally, so that he will say good things to you instead."
Duan Shigang lit up a Puwan, and the smoke enveloped his face, making him look vicissitudes of life and profound.
Shen Xu thought about it carefully and agreed: "Brother Gang, it's wonderful! It's like this."
He was somewhat impressed by Duan Shigang. As expected, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. He was worthy of being a man who firmly sat at the top of the iron ladder. He was still very capable.
Deng Xiang and Ge Hao also understood the truth and praised: "Brother Gang, you are awesome. You understand it so well. I really learned it this time."
Duan Shigang exhaled a puff of smoke: "I just did a little research on human nature."
He looked indifferent on the outside, but actually he felt happy inside. This was what the adults said when he was working in the factory, and he secretly memorized it.
As expected today, my friends were shocked.
But this wasn't enough. There was one person at the entire dinner table who didn't respond.
Duan Shigang looked at Zhang Chi who was masturbating and asked, "Chizi, what do you think?"
Zhang Chi swallowed the roasted lamb and said, "Hey, I don't need it. I never pay back the money I borrowed!"
…
River dam, bungalow.
Under the lights, the bedroom showed a simple and elegant style. Xue Chuchu was wearing a white nightgown and sitting at the desk writing test papers.
It's just that her mood is not as peaceful as before, and she is perfectly integrated into her studies.
Tonight, a little commotion outside would attract her attention.
Suddenly, with the familiar sound of cars, Xue Chuchu knew that Tongtong was back.
She picked up the bag next to her and walked towards the door. However, her steps stopped. It was already early winter and the weather outside was starting to get a little cold.
Xue Chuchu returned, opened the wardrobe, randomly selected a coat, put it on, and then went to find Tongtong with the bag.
Although she knew that Xue Yuantong would go to Jiang Ning's house to play games as soon as he returned home, Xue Chuchu still visited Tongtong's house first.
It wasn't until she got Aunt Gu's approval that she walked towards Jiang Ning's house.
Xue Chuchu appeared at the door, and her first words were: "I just asked Aunt Gu, you came here to play."
Jiang Ning's consciousness passed by and found that Xue Chuchu was dressed casually tonight. She was wearing a soft nightgown. Outside the nightgown was a red coat. The bright color formed a sharp contrast with the white nightgown.
It not only shows the figure of the girl, but also reduces her coldness. She stands tall and graceful under the moonlight, which is really beautiful.
"Chu Chu, what's delicious on your hand?" Xue Yuantong asked.
Xue Chuchu opened the bag with a slight smile on her face: "I bought star fruit after school in the afternoon. You haven't eaten it, have you?"
Xue Yuantong has eaten peaches and nectarines, but she has never eaten carambola.
"Is it delicious?" Xue Yuantong was curious.
Xue Chuchu: "I don't know either, but I heard from the boss that it's very delicious."
She often receives gifts from Jiang Ning. Chu Chu has an independent personality and always feels that she deserves it, so she definitely deserves something in return.
She took out the star fruit and placed it on the computer desk.
The appearance of star fruit is unique and eye-catching. It is different from the spherical shape of the commonly eaten peaches and nectarines. Its appearance is actually in the shape of a five-pointed star, with each corner sharp.
Xue Yuantong picked it up and touched it, and found that the outer skin was smooth and delicate, the color was light green, and it had a faint luster under the light.
"It looks delicious." Xue Yuantong said to himself.
Xue Chuchu: "Well, so I bought some to try today."
"Okay, let's change the taste today." Xue Yuantong said, "It's a pity that we don't grow it in our village, otherwise I would have eaten it."
When I was a child, peach trees were planted in the village. Every summer, it was a paradise for children, picking all kinds of peaches to eat.
Xue Yuantong likes to eat nectarines the most. They have a smooth appearance and are not as hairy as peaches. There is no need to peel them at all.
.
Xue Yuantong prepared a knife and killed Yang Tao.
When the three of them were about to taste it, Aunt Hua next door called Chu Chu.
Xue Chuchu had no choice but to return home first.
At this time, there were only two people left in the house. Xue Yuantong thought that his mother must have never eaten carambola, so he took two pieces home and gave them to his mother.
In the end, only Jiang Ning was left in the room.
Jiang Ning stared at the star fruit, and with a gesture of his hand, a piece of star fruit moved to his mouth.
Obviously, Chu Chu, who used to be smart and smart in the past, has overturned this time. These star fruits are not yet ripe. After entering the mouth, they are sour and frowning, and it is difficult to swallow them.
Jiang Ning flicked her finger and threw the uneaten star fruit into the trash can outside the door.
After thinking about it, he flew another piece of paper into the trash can and wrapped the star fruit tightly.
Well, details determine success or failure.
At least it can't be seen by Chu Chu, otherwise the sensitive Chu Chu might be secretly sad.
Once before, Tongtong bought food that she had never seen before and brought it home for Aunt Gu and Jiang Ning to eat.
Jiang Ning took a bite and secretly threw it into the trash can. It was too unpalatable.
Later, Xue Yuantong got angry and asked him who threw the food in the trash can. Jiang Ning was about to admit it, but Aunt Gu admitted it first.
Jiang Ning was still a little touched at the time, but she didn't expect Aunt Gu to take such good care of him.
Later, he scanned the trash can with his consciousness and discovered that Aunt Gu's share was also lying in the trash can.
Immediately, Jiang Ning took out the jade slip and continued to ponder his formation.
Three minutes later, Xue Yuantong ran back and saw the star fruits on the computer table. Her mouth dropped. She was always a glutton and did not mention those star fruits at all.
Two minutes later, Xue Chuchu came back and saw that there were still many cut star fruits on the table, with only two or three pieces missing.
Xue Chuchu was a little relieved. It turned out that they were waiting for him to come before eating.
"Chu Chu, it's delicious. Try it quickly." Xue Yuantong said seriously.
Xue Chuchu was surprised: "Is it really delicious?"
Xue Yuantong: "Of course!"
Xue Chuchu picked up a piece and took a bite, then she fell silent.
"Is it delicious?" Xue Yuantong asked her.
Xue Chuchu silently took away all the star fruits without saying a word.
After Chu Chu disappeared, Xue Yuantong couldn't bear it: "Jiang Ning, did we do something wrong?"
Jiang Ning: "Then why don't you take the opportunity to eat all the star fruits?"
