Sui Xia

Chapter 3 Hand Rolled Beef Noodles

The town is not big.

Uncle Luo that Jiang Mo said was easy to find.

When Lin Suixia came to find him, Uncle Luo put down the ladder and brought Jiang Mo up.

Uncle Luo originally planned to quickly find a crane to salvage it, but Lin Suixia saw the car that had completely sunk into the river and told everyone to go home first.The car has already entered the river, there is no difference between salvage today and tomorrow, she doesn't want to bother others at night.

Today's unlucky incident even made her forget that she had bought the car for less than a year, so she couldn't care less about it.

Fortunately, it was midsummer in July and the weather was hot. Although they were a little embarrassed, they didn't catch a cold.

Thanks to Uncle Luo and Jiang Mo, Lin Suixia planned to go to the noodle shop first.

"Shall I see you off? Sit here, hurry up. Don't catch a cold." Jiang Mo pointed to his bicycle.

Lin Suixia looked at Jiang Mo's sincere eyes, and didn't refuse again.

It's just that the moment she got on Jiang Mo's bicycle, Lin Suixia looked at herself in a mess, and suddenly felt a little sore in her nose.

Is this her upcoming 26th birthday?

Lin Suixia didn't inform her parents when she went home, and the noodle shop's opening hours will not be very late. Fortunately, Wu Ying still stayed in the shop to prepare things for the next day.

Seeing Lin Suixia standing at the door with Jiang Mo drenched, she was startled.

At first, she wasn't sure if it was her own daughter, she probed it several times, until Lin Suishia yelled "Mom, it's me", she ran up to open the door in a jerk.

"Xiaoxia? Why are you back? Why didn't you tell mom before you came back?" Wu Ying hurriedly opened the door and pulled Lin Suishia in, "You, what's wrong with you? Ah?!"

Jiang Mo comforted Wu Ying not to worry: "Auntie, it's okay, it was Lin Suishia who drove the car into the ditch. Fortunately, she was smart, escaped quickly, and could swim, so she was not injured."

Although Lin Suixia insisted that she was fine, Wu Ying was still quite frightened.

She pulled Lin Suishia into the back room, first asked her to take off her wet clothes and put on clean clothes.

"Jiang Mo, thank you for sending Xiaoxia here, and you should hurry home and change out of your wet clothes, be careful of catching a cold!"

"Okay, Auntie, then I'll go first."

"Okay, okay." Wu Ying sent Jiang Mo to the door.

Jiang Mo kept looking inside, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his reluctant eyes.

Lin Suixia could hear the movement outside. She deliberately waited for Jiang Mo to leave before coming out.

In the noodle shop are Wu Ying's old clothes, which are too big for Lin Suixia.

She casually tied a knot at the corner of her loose and loose clothes, and sat down at the table: "Mom, I'm hungry, and I want to eat your hand-rolled beef noodles."

Wu Ying readily agreed: "Okay."

Wu Ying's noodle restaurant is not big, with a simple log style. Some old wood even passes through the beams without decoration to say hello to the guests who look up lazily. About a dozen wooden tables have been wiped clean. The paper towels and chopstick holders on the table may not have had time to clean up, one is empty and the other is messy.The plastic stools are stacked high.These necessary items alone have occupied the entire noodle shop, and one can imagine how crowded the room would be if there were more guests.

Fortunately, Lin Suixia is the only guest at this moment, and she can sit on the opposite side of Wu Ying's console with her chin resting on her back and enjoy her mother's delicious food all by herself.

Yes, there is a long piece of wood around the operating table where Lin Suixia sits, and there can be five or six people sitting here when there is no room outside.

Through the dancing glass, I can see my mother rushing in and out.

But the glass is not all closed, Lin Suixia can chat with his mother.

I remember that when the noodle shop was being renovated, Lin Suixia came to deliver meals, and heard my mother tell the decorator that the glass here should not be sealed: "In this way, we can maintain the sanitation of making noodles and chat with customers."

Now it seems that there is really a warm design.

The orange light was reflected on my mother's shoulders. I haven't seen her for a long time. My mother's shoulders have collapsed a lot and become thinner.

There are also more white hairs on the temples when I turn around.

When her mother turned her face, Lin Suixia suddenly looked down and played with the chopsticks in her hand without looking.

She has been busy in the big city and has not taken time seriously.

After all, when I looked in the mirror, there were no wrinkles or obvious aging on my face.

Now that he is back, seeing his mother, Lin Suixia realizes that he has been away long enough and returned little enough.

So much so that even my mother didn't know when she was old.

"Here we go—Wu Ying hand-rolled beef noodles!"

Wu Ying neatly rubbed the freshly rolled flour on her hands, put the freshly baked noodles in front of Lin Suixia and asked, "Do you want to add vinegar?"

Lin Suixia inhaled vigorously first, then nodded.

Wu Ying dotingly put a spoonful of vinegar on the spoon and said: "Be careful, blow while eating."

Look, no matter how old they are, children will always be young in the eyes of their parents.

Lin Suixia took a sip and sighed without regret: "It's delicious."

In City A, the kitchen is used to boil water for coffee, and at most to fry a sandwich.The takeaway numbs the stomach.Miraculously, after eating the noodles cooked by my mother, the tongue coating was revived, and a warm force was injected into the whole body.It's like the feeling that immediately going to the army to fight a war can kill a company.

Wu Ying came out of the console with a smile, and handed Lin Suixia a Coke: "Why did you come back suddenly today? Didn't you call me in advance?"

Lin Suixia grumbled and mixed the noodles: "I'm on vacation, I want to give you a surprise. What's the matter? Mom, do you see that I'm unhappy?"

"Happy. Why aren't you happy?" Wu Ying sat down beside Lin Suishia, took out her mobile phone and elderly mirror, "I'll call your dad now and ask him to clean up your room first."

"No need, I'll clean it up myself." Lin Suixia quickly grabbed Wu Ying's cell phone to prevent her from calling.

Lin Suixia paused and added, "Don't bother Dad."

Wu Ying naturally knew her daughter's true thoughts, so she didn't force her, but just sighed lightly: "Although your father usually doesn't say it, he actually misses you very much."

Lin Suixia frowned, Wu Ying tactfully kept silent.

After Lin Suixia finished eating the noodles, Wu Ying put the bowl aside for washing tomorrow, and took her home to collect the shop first.

The noodle shop is not far from home, about a thousand meters away.

The mother and daughter walked side by side.

On the next slightly steep downhill, Lin Suixia subconsciously supported Wu Ying a little.

Wu Ying patted the back of her daughter's hand: "How long will you stay at home this time?"

"It's been a long time."

"Oh, then you go..."

"I've made up my mind, come to the noodle shop to help." Lin Suixia interrupted Wu Ying's arrangement, and said it first.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Wu Ying's eyes, she smiled and agreed: "Okay."

When he arrived at the downstairs of the house, Lin Suixia looked up at the window at a familiar height, and the light was on.

Lin Tao is already at home.

That's right, it's late at this time, and there are no entertainment activities in the town, so where can I go if I am not at home.Besides, even if there were entertainment, it was impossible for a serious man like him to enjoy it.

Lin Suixia told herself: Now that she is back, some people always have to face some things.She can escape for a while but not for a lifetime.

"Squeak." Downstairs the old tube, there will be an iron door locked for safety.

Wu Ying opened the iron gate with the key, turned her head and said to Lin Suixia, "By the way, remember to buy something for Jiang Mo tomorrow. If it wasn't for him tonight, you would have to stay in the river all night!"

Lin Suixia: "..."

How nice to mention him again.
