Chapter 169: Porridge

Gu Lai didn't bother Yu Xi for a long time. After sitting for a while, he left. He saw that the sky was breaking dawn and he didn't sleep. He went to the kitchen to make breakfast for himself. The food in the refrigerator was unexpectedly rich, not like a single male living environment. .
Turn on the phone, adjust to the food tutorial, Gu Lai earnestly followed the teacher inside to learn how to make breakfast, methodically, without the panic of novices. He always has an inexplicable obsession with food, and even plans to save enough money in the future to open his own restaurant.
"After the water is boiled, add the washed rice and add 10 grams of peanut oil, so that the porridge will not taste too weak. After boiling it again, stir the bottom of the pot..."
Gu Lai has a very good memory and remembered all the processes again. He lowered his head and chopped the lean pork into thin slices at a fast speed. Then he added seasonings to marinate in sequence, and then he stirred the casserole with patience. The soaked porridge, until the rice grains bloom and explode, the oil becomes sticky and fragrant, then the preserved egg is placed, and the lean meat and green onion are the last.
The soft and glutinous rice porridge was mixed with meat, and the taste filled the whole room. Gu Lai smiled and was very satisfied with his work. After adjusting the taste, he filled a large bowl and ate it after a while.
There was a lot left in the casserole. Gu Lai thought for a while, filled a bowl with a lunch box, walked to the next door and knocked on Yu Xi's door. She was probably just about to go to bed, and her tone of voice became irritable when she heard the movement. Ah! Make people sleep in the early morning!"
Yu Xi walked quickly to the door and was about to start cursing. Then she saw the well-groomed Gu Lai standing at her door carrying a lunch box. When she reached her mouth, she swallowed it. She has always been very tolerant of handsome guys: "It's you Ah, what's the matter?"
"I made some porridge, would you like to eat it?"
As Gu said, opening the lid of the box, the aroma of preserved egg and lean meat porridge floated out, and the top was dotted with green onion sesame oil, which was really attractive.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xi swallowed subconsciously, feeling strangely hungry. She took the lunch box and smelled it, and found that the rice porridge was thick and thick. It was definitely not a roadside takeaway. She asked strangely: "You do of?"
"Well, try it, eating in the morning is good for your health."
Gu Lai was still rushing to work. After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the watch in his hand: "Remember to wash the lunch box after eating. I will pick it up at night."
Yu Xi is most annoying to wash the dishes: "Oh..."
Gu Lai didn't regard moving bricks as a long-term career. He wanted to learn more knowledge in a limited time. He drove the car directly when he went to work today. He planned to go to the supermarket after get off work and buy some books by the way.
There was a blue thermos in the driver’s seat, Gu Lai circumnavigated a little bit, then drove the car to the gate of Shen Youjia community, and sent him a message: [Bring you some porridge and put it in the security booth If you don’t have breakfast, you can taste it. 】
Gu Lai opened the door and got out of the car, and put the porridge bucket in the security booth. The uncle on duty inside was very talkative, and after a few questions, he let him put it there.
Shen You didn't sleep at all after returning home in the early morning. He turned on the screen when the phone vibrated. After seeing Gu Lai's message, he got up from the bed and opened the curtains to look outside
Of course, you can't see anything, you can only see the water spray landscape pool in the middle.
Shen You hesitated for a moment, then went downstairs with a pair of gloves and clothes. The uncle in the security booth asked: "Is it the last name Shen? A young man brought you food just now."
Shen You responded, "Where is the other person?"
The uncle handed him the thermos: "Just left."
Shen You originally thought that what Gu Lai would deliver would be takeaways, but he didn't expect it to be a porridge bucket. He inserted the bag with one hand and walked back slowly. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Ke Jing called him in the morning: "You haven't got any hairs in your house these days, come out to gather together, just like Girl Huanghua, the door won't go out and you won't move."
Saying to go out to gather is nothing more than drag racing, drinking and soaking in a nightclub, drunk, dreaming, and not coming home. They are still young and have no worries about food and clothing. After their desires are satisfied, they have no more pursuit of life, and instinctively seek stimulation.
"No," Shen You glanced at the empty porridge bucket on the table, then got up and threw the porridge bowl into the sink. "Stomachache, can't drink."
Ke Jing was a little disappointed: "It's okay if you don't drink it. It's boring to play with Tang and I every day."
Shen You is holding a mobile phone in one hand and picking clothes from the closet in the other: "Look for someone else. Didn't He Fan come back from abroad some time ago? Today, at the company's shareholders meeting, the father asked me to go too."
The relationship between Shen You and his family was a little stiff. When he came out, he broke up. He moved out by himself, and only went back during the holidays. There was an older brother on him, and no one cared about him.
Ke Jing didn't know what to say: "Your old man will just cross his eyebrows when he sees you. How can he not scold you for a dog-blood sprinkler? Isn't it just for scolding, OK, OK, don’t bother you, I will find someone else? ."
Shen You hung up the phone, threw the phone on the bed, and then changed into his shirt. When he buttoned his buttons, he habitually took a look at the back of his neck in the mirror. There were large burn scars, which took up half of his back and looked terrible. .
He quietly looked at himself in the mirror. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly felt an unrecognizable feeling. The unevenness of the back of his neck was gently brushed with his fingertips, which always produced the illusion of illusion pain, as if there was still flame licking. The skin was torturing him day and night.
This place was so ugly that he didn't want to look at it himself, Shen You closed his eyes, slowly withdrew his hands, put on his clothes and went out, the huge room fell silent for a while.
Moving bricks is not a long-term career. If you have work, you can do it. If you don’t have it, you can only rest. The project on the construction site has reached the final stage. In other words, Gu Lai will be unemployed after a while. He can only put his career first In my spare time at noon, I occasionally drive around to find information about part-time jobs.
Gu Lai seldom speaks to his workers on the initiative. He has a handsome face, gentle and courteous, and he will not sit in the brick ground with them and make a yellow tone, and he will not drink inferior liquor and peanuts with them, and then laugh and spit. Hengfei evaluates which woman has a big breast and fat butt. More often, she just washes her hands and face, sits silently, and drifts away from the crowd.
Not a person of the world, nor a person of this world.
Gu Lai wanted to make friends, but he didn't know how to blend in. He didn't like the smell of inferior liquor, and he didn't like to sit in a pile with people in the sultry season, listening to them fucking. He swears bad words, so he has been on the construction site for a few months, except for the contractor, he almost doesn't know anyone.
Yesterday, I lost my diary, but Gu Lai didn't plan to make it up. If he missed it, he missed it. It won't be that day to make up again. He sat on a roadside bench not far from the construction site, away from the crowd, put the notebook on his knees, and dropped the standard italics stroke by stroke.
Sunny Wednesday, June 17
It's very hot today. The foreman said that the project will be completed in one month, and the wages during this period will be settled together. He patted me on the shoulder and said that I could get a lot.
Moving bricks is a bit dirty, and I can only go back to wash my hair and take a shower every day after get off work. This is not good. I think this job may come to an end. Human life is very short, with an average life span of sixty years old, and I have passed a little and a half, and need to learn more before I get old.
The pastry chef may be a good choice, and I will work hard towards this goal.
Yang Mian cried easily, but I didn't know how to comfort him, the memory bank was blank, and I didn't know anything about him.
Shen You has a serious stomach problem, because he didn't eat on time, and he tried to drink and smoke, which was not good.
Yu Xi changed her boyfriend again. Day and night turned upside down. Last night she was complained by the owner for listening to a song, but I think she is very smart and can always live her life happily.
There is a bus stop not far from the bench. The No. 7 bus drove by the roadside slowly. A girl sitting by the window swept away, then lightly pounded the man next to her, whispering: " Hey, is that person your ex, how..."
Yang Mian heard the sound and looked out of the glass window, and then found a man sitting on the side of the road with his head down and writing something. His clothes had mottled gray stains. He looked like a worker nearby, with a little embarrassment, but that The face is so handsome.
"You read it wrong..."
Yang Mian looked away from the embarrassment of the plaster on the man's shoulders.
The girl muttered to herself: "Maybe, Gu Lai used to be in the grass, but it shouldn't be mixed up like this, but it is quite similar."
At the time, Gu Lai, who was well-dressed, might only exist in memory. Yang Mian looked down at the phone subconsciously. He sent a lot of messages to Gu Lai yesterday, but the other party only replied "good night" in the early hours of the morning. It's shameful.
When Gu Lai got off work at night, he went home to take a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then he drove to the supermarket. He pushed the shopping cart and looked through the food list posted by the food blogger on his phone while searching the shelves for what he wanted. The things I want will soon be full.
When he was about to check out, the phone vibrated twice and looked down. It turned out that Shen You used WeChat to initiate a call invitation to him. Gu Lai had to pause and find an open place to connect. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes were Some doubts: "Hello?"
His voice is nice, deep and magnetic, and a bit cold to listen, but always with concern.
Shen You just came back from the company meeting, sat on the bedside, hesitated for a long time before dialing the phone, when he heard his voice, but didn't know what to say, he unconsciously curled his eyebrows, and his emotions began to become anxious.
Gu Lai took the initiative to question, and unconsciously handed a step: "Is it Shen You?"
Shen You lay on the bed and crumpled the sheets into a ball. Hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Um..."
Then I don't know what to say.
Gu Lai searched on the shelf, took a can of grape juice drink, and carefully checked the production date. Surrounded by a bunch of big aunts and aunts, he, a handsome boy, looked a little abrupt: "Is your stomach better?"
Shen You's parents never cared about this kind of problem. Only the doctor who saw the doctor asked him. He wiped his face and fell directly from the bed onto the carpet, but this time it was not anxious, but at a loss. He was not sure. He twisted his eyebrows and said dryly: "Maybe, well... it's better."
After he finished speaking, he buried his face awkwardly in his knees, and quickly added, "Thank you for the porridge."
After Shen You finished talking, he slapped himself in his heart, death hammer pillow, why did he want to thank him? ! Has this scum passed himself? ! Is it reassuring to buy a medicine and get a bowl of porridge? !
Gu Lai heard the words: "How does it taste, does it suit your taste?"
Shen You immediately stopped pinching the pillow, and said calmly: "Yeah."
It was the truth, the taste was really good, he even wondered if it was Gu Lai's order from a high-end restaurant.
Gu Lai is very easy to talk. He is planning to practice cooking recently: "Then I will give it to you tomorrow."
Shen You head pressed against the wall, closed his eyes and slammed twice, telling himself that he had to learn to say no. In the end he said something inexplicable: "You... come here, and I will return the thermos."
"It's okay, there is another one in my house, you put it in the security booth, and I will get it tomorrow morning."
The supermarket was crowded with people and it was not suitable for talking on the phone. Gu Lai saw that there was an empty spot at the cash register in front, whispered sorry, and then hung up the phone.
Shen You squinted at the screen of the phone, then covered his face with a pillow, and rolled on the bed.
Damn it!
