When Zhou Yu woke up the next day, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
"Ah~~~" Zhou Yu sat up from the bed and stretched comfortably. To be honest, Zhou Yu slept very well last night. This was the first time Zhou Yu slept in since he started his internship teaching.
Of course, Zhou Yu would never admit that this was the result of the air conditioner being on all night.
Zhou Yu picked up the air conditioner remote control beside his pillow and pressed the power button.
With a 'beep' sound and a 'click' sound coming from outside the window, the air conditioner outdoor unit hanging outside the balcony stopped running, and the wall-mounted air conditioner in the house that was blowing out cold air also slowly closed.
Zhou Yu lifted the quilt, put on his slippers, opened the door and walked out of the room.
The sun was already high in the sky at 8 o'clock, and the air outside the room was already starting to feel hot. After Zhou Yu washed up in the bathroom, he returned to the room to change his clothes.
After quickly changing his clothes, Zhou Yu tiptoed downstairs.
The first floor was quiet at this time. As Zhou Yu tiptoed through the living room and walked toward the front door, he glanced at his parents' room.
At this time, in my parents' room, an electric fan was turning slowly, blowing away the little heat from an old man with half-white hair who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
After taking a look at his father Zhou Dahai who was catching up on his sleep, Zhou Yu did not disturb him. He quietly walked out of the living room, changed his shoes and came to the yard.
At this time, the house was quiet, and only Ah Huang was lying in the shade bored. When he saw Zhou Yu coming out of the house, he immediately got up from the ground excitedly and staggered towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's mother, Wang Yufang, was not at home. Last night when Zhou Yu was having dinner, she told her son that today was National Day and the factory would pay double wages to the workers who worked. It was a rare opportunity to make money, and Wang Yufang did not want to miss it, so she took the initiative to ask her team leader for overtime work on National Day.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to persuade his mother to take more rest during the National Day holiday. She had been working for such a long time and it was not good for her health to work non-stop.
But Wang Yufang just waved her hand after hearing Zhou Yu's proposal. She told her son, "We have been busy like this for so many years. In the past, the busy farming season was much busier than it is now. So shouldn't we just grit our teeth and keep going?"
Besides, if you don’t make money now, when can you make it?
"Mom is getting old, so while I can still work, I'll do more work and earn more money so that I can save more for you to buy a house and renovate it. When I get a few more years old, I really won't be able to work anymore!"
Thinking about the conversation with his mother last night, Zhou Yu put on his shoes, followed by a small yellow dog wagging its tail. The man and the dog walked into the kitchen one after the other.
The kitchen was clean and tidy, except for the inner pot of an electric rice cooker which was taken out and placed on the dining table.
Zhou Yu walked to the dining table, removed the covered pot and took a look. As Zhou Yu expected, there was half a pot of cooked rice porridge in the pot, with a boiled egg lying quietly in the porridge.
Zhou Yu looked at the half-pot of porridge, shook his head and rejected his mother's kindness.
It’s not that Zhou Yu is picky about food, it’s just that he almost vomited after drinking porridge in the cafeteria in the mornings.
During this period at Wuzhou Middle School, the breakfast served in the cafeteria was basically white porridge, steamed buns, and eggs. The buns were steamed vegetable and meat buns, and the eggs were boiled eggs or tea eggs.
Every morning, Zhou Yu basically has white porridge with a steamed bun, or white porridge with a boiled egg or a tea egg. After eating this kind of breakfast for a month, Zhou Yu now feels a little heartburn when he sees white porridge.
After putting the lid of the rice cooker back on, Zhou Yu picked up the pot, opened the refrigerator and put it in the refrigerator to prevent the half pot of porridge from going bad in this hot weather.
After doing all this, Zhou Yu tiptoed to the living room again, picked up the electric bike key on the coffee table in the living room, went out again, rode the electric bike and rode towards the city.
Following Fenghuangshan Road all the way south, he turned onto a street and after riding on the street for a short while, he arrived at the market stall that Zhou Yu used to frequent.
"Boss! Give me some rolled noodles!" Zhou Yu parked the car in front of a snack stand and shouted to the busy boss, "Less spicy! More carrots!"
"Okay!" The boss responded with his head down, then he immediately reacted and raised his head to look towards Zhou Yu's position.
When he saw Zhou Yu's face clearly, the boss smiled in surprise and shouted happily, "Hey! When did you come back?!"
Zhou Yu was very happy to see that the boss recognized him at a glance, "I just came back last night, and here you are! I missed the taste of your noodles! I missed you so much!"
"Haha," the boss laughed, "Then I have to make it carefully for you, so as not to ruin my reputation! You wait!" After saying that, he started to make rolled dough for Zhou Yu.
However, looking at the way he puts the ingredients in, it seems to be more solid than the ordinary dough.
"Boss, who is this? Your son?" An old customer who frequently patronized the shop asked curiously when he saw the boss' happy face.
The boss waved his hands repeatedly, "How can I be so lucky?! I wish this boy was really my son!"
While the boss was busy, he explained to the customer who asked the question, "This guy is also an old customer of mine! When he was in school, he often came to patronize my business! Later, he was admitted to Jiangcheng Normal University, a national key university! 211!"
The regular customer was also amazed, "A key university! This is incredible! If it were in the past, this would be a Jinshi degree!"
Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, the boss came to the rescue, "Young man, let's keep it the same as before. Add more shredded carrots and sweet pickled mustard greens?"
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, that's right!"
"Okay!" The boss's hands moved as smoothly as flowing water. In just a few seconds, a dough was rolled up, put in a plastic bag and handed to Zhou Yu.
"Is it still the same price as before? 5 Yuan?" Zhou Yu asked as he took out his wallet from his pocket. Just as he was about to pay, he was stopped by the boss.
"Take it back, take it back!" The boss stopped Zhou Yu from paying with a smile on his face, "It's just a piece of face, it's not worth much! Consider it my treat!"
Zhou Yu blinked his eyes and insisted on paying. "How can this be possible? Boss, you still have to do business!"
"Well, business is business. How long have you not been here? I'm glad to see you after such a long time! Hurry and take the money back!"
Zhou Yu and the boss argued back and forth. Seeing that Zhou Yu insisted on paying, the boss got a little angry and said, "If you want to pay me again, don't come next time!"
Seeing that the boss was angry, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
A regular customer watching the fun on the side also advised Zhou Yu, "Young man, don't pay this money! Just let the boss treat you this time. Next time, come a few more times and take care of the boss's business, right?"
Zhou Yu also looked at the boss at this time and smiled at him, "Well, thank you, boss!"
Seeing that Zhou Yu no longer insisted on paying, the boss also laughed, "Hey, hey! OK! Don't be polite, come often if it's delicious!"
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, got on the electric bike again, hung the dough on the handlebars, and waved to the boss, "Then boss, I'm leaving first!"
The boss smiled and waved at Zhou Yu, then lowered his head and started serving other customers.
......
After buying the dough he had been craving for, Zhou Yu did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to a nearby supermarket and bought two bottles of Kouzi liquor and a bottle of Yunnan Yunnan Yunnan tea. He then went to the shelf selling health products, picked out a box of donkey-hide gelatin, paid the money, and headed home.
After returning home, Zhou Yu held the shopping bag and quietly pushed open the gate. At this time, except for Ah Huang who still came to Zhou Yu's feet like a dog and kept rubbing Zhou Yu's legs, the house was still very quiet.
In order not to disturb his father Zhou Dahai's rest, Zhou Yu simply took the shopping bags to the kitchen in the yard without entering the house.
At this point, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning. After getting used to the busy teaching life, Zhou Yu suddenly had some free time and was at a loss as to what to do.
Zhou Yu returned to the yard, moved a small stool and sat down in the corridor. While eating rolls of noodles, he took out his mobile phone and opened QQ to see if any familiar friends were looking for him.
The curly dough in my mouth still has the familiar taste and is still as delicious as before.
The texture of the dough mixed with the crisp sweetness of carrots and the taste of cucumber and bean sprouts, plus the boss’s secret seasoning, made Zhou Yu exclaim that the journey was worth it. The rolled dough is delicious!
After checking QQ for a while and seeing that the farm had harvested a wave of vegetables, Zhou Yu threw down his phone.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Yu suddenly felt free. He didn't know what to do next and could only stare blankly ahead.
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhou Yu's thoughts had already flown to who knows where, and he was quietly playing with the dog's head at his feet. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a basin not far away.
The basin was filled with water, and a fat silver carp was leisurely swinging its tail in the basin. However, due to the terrain, the silver carp only moved a little to the side after swinging its tail for a long time.
I don’t know who sent it or whether it was bought by Zhou Yu’s parents, Zhou Yu thought.
However, based on Zhou Yu's understanding of his parents, this was most likely sent to them by a relative and kept in a pot, waiting to be eaten after Zhou Yu returned.
"Big fish are not interesting to eat! They are worse than small fish coated with flour and fried," Zhou Yu muttered to himself, staring at the giant silver carp in a daze.
Huh? Fish?!
Thinking of fish, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered what he should find to do!
Zhou Yu hurriedly walked to the utility room nearby. As soon as he walked in, he saw a fishing rod next to the door.
It was during a previous summer vacation when Zhou Yu was free and bought it on a certain website. It cost him 35 yuan.
After getting the fishing rod, Zhou Yu only went fishing a few times. Later, he took a job tutoring junior high school students and never went fishing again. From then on, the fishing rod was taken away by Zhou Yu's father Zhou Dahai.
Zhou Yu picked up the fishing rod, found a few remaining boxes of fishing line, picked up the remaining half bag of red worms on the ground, took the small stool under the corridor, and threw them all onto the electric car outside the door. He was ready to go fishing by the river.
Just as he was about to start the electric bike and head towards the river, he saw Xiao Huang leap onto Zhou Yu's electric bike, tilting his head and looking at Zhou Yu sobbing.
"Why, you want to go too?" Zhou Yu rubbed the dog's head and said with a smile.
The only response he got was another burst of whimpering and the sound of a dog's paws scratching the base.
"Okay, okay, I know you want to go with us," Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Just sit tight. If you fall off, just follow the car and run to the river by yourself!"
“Oh my~”
