Chapter 18 A Bowl of Fish Soup

After finishing the make-up class this night, Xiao Taohong felt that she had gained more than she had in the entire three years of high school.It turns out that this good-for-nothing grandma called him was actually a hidden master.

After class, she would take the bus back to Huangcun.Su Xiaoye was worried about the little girl and sent her all the way to the bus stop.Xiao Taohong suddenly asked: "Sister Xiaoye, you are so powerful. Why do you want to come back to be a village official?"

Su Xiaoye said: "Come and have fun."

This was obviously a perfunctory answer. Xiao Taohong was not satisfied and wanted to ask more questions.The golden light dazzled behind me, and the bus arrived.Su Xiaoye put her in the car and waved goodbye.

After bidding farewell to the little girl, Su Xiaoye remembered that she hadn't finished memorizing the materials yet, so she hurried home.

She has high demands on herself and must do what she wants to do.This is what her father Su Zhentang taught her.Her father was a university professor who had just passed away.

Just to take care of her mother, Su Xiaoye came back from the provincial capital to take the exam.

While climbing the stairs, Su Xiaoye made a phone call home.While chatting, I looked up and noticed something strange at home: the dark green stainless steel security door opened a gap of about half a foot, and the light came from inside.

"What's going on? The door was obviously locked when I came out?"

The terrain around the community was vast and there were incidents of theft and robbery from time to time, which made Su Xiaoye's heart skip a beat.Put the phone in your pocket, move lightly, and tiptoe closer.

Take a deep breath and push away.

The room was full of alcohol, and through the back of the chair, I saw two long legs sticking out over the armrest.Tang Diwei came back at some point and was still drunk.

"Fuck, why are you so drunk!"

Su Xiaoye covered her nose, but let down the big stone hanging in her heart.She locked the door behind her back, came to Tang Diwei, and gently shook his shoulder: "Hey, are you okay?"

Tang Diwei frowned deeply and let out a series of meaningless babbles in his sleep.The collar of his white shirt was open, and an old scar three to four inches long on his left shoulder was shocking.Su Xiaoye saw it unexpectedly and was so frightened that she quickly averted her eyes and did not dare to look again.

She ran into the kitchen and dug out the uneaten fish pieces from the freezer.Defrosting, making soup, while cooking fish soup, my heart is pounding.

That night, she had nightmares again and again, and all the nightmares were filled with the scar grinning at herself.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Tang Diwei opened his eyes.

(Drinking too much again...)
(Wine is a good thing, it helps people eliminate all worries.)
The scent penetrated his nose, and the man's eyes flashed with doubt.He raised his tall body, left the sofa, and followed the scent to find the past.

A bowl of fish soup is kept warm in the kitchen. The fish soup is white and thick, with a layer of green and fragrant coriander and green onions floating on it.

"Gollum..."

Tang Diwei's stomach started growling.Normally, after he drinks too much, his stomach will become too heavy to accept any food.Now his stomach expressed its desire for this bowl of fish soup.

Tang Diwei looked down at the fish soup: "..."

There was a small note taped to the range hood. He turned on the light of the range hood and saw clearly the beautiful handwriting on it: "Wash the dishes after drinking."

Tang Diwei: "..."

The sunburned and indifferent face rarely relaxed. He wanted to laugh, but restrained himself.

……

The next morning Su Xiaoye woke up and smelled the aroma of bread.

In return, Tang Diwei bought her freshly baked bread early in the morning, and then went back to his room to sleep.Su Xiaoye glanced at the closed door with a smile, stuffed the bread into her bag, and went out to work.

Not wanting to wake up the sleeping people in the room, she closed the door very lightly.
