Chapter 019: Go Home and Die
"I don't have a penny on me!" Xu Fangfang looked at the two brothers with a gaze. The fourth brother Xu Hongbin simply pulled his two pockets, patted him like a pig's ear, and said, "My money was used up when I checked out just now!"
Lin Jia touched her body and muttered, "I remember it seems that I still have a few dollars..." He searched through the pockets of his body and finally found two one-dollar steel jumpers, one for 50 cents steel jumpers, and five one-dollar steel jumpers, and smiled proudly, "Gaga! You can buy three bowls of hot dry noodles!"
The hot dry noodles that only cost one dollar a bowl can be said to be a special snack in the surrounding areas of Wuhan, Hubei. Wuhan is the most authentic. The alkaline noodles in somersaults are squeezed over water, and then hot them with green onions, ginger, garlic water, and some spicy radish. Then dig a spoonful of thick sesame paste made of sesame oil, and finally sprinkle a little coriander foam. After mixing well, pick up a chopstick and stuff it into your mouth. Suck it down with a slight suck... Wow! It's so fragrant and refreshing, and very slippery!
After eating a bowl, I still feel unsatisfied, and my lips and teeth remain fragrant. Finally, I licked the sesame paste stuck to the corners of my mouth and burped with a fragrant burp. If I only cost 3 yuan like Lin Jia and others and have no extra funds, I can buy a bowl of freshly ground soy milk, don’t waste the sesame paste sauce left at the bottom of the bowl after eating. Let the boss add half a bowl of boiling water for you, and drink all the sesame paste soup without wasting any money, ensuring that you are satisfied!
Lin Jia and others poured some vinegar and more than three portions of hot sauce into the hot dry noodles in the boss's distressed eyes. Then they seemed to be planning to make a bowl of cold cilantro and put half a pile of coriander into the bowl and then started eating with satisfaction. Unfortunately, although the hot dry noodles on the stall are affordable, they can't withstand these little wolf cubs who have been hungry for half a night. "Hula! Hula!" The two of them all got down.
After breakfast, Lao Si shook his mouth and said, "I'm flashing! I'll call me if I'm going online tomorrow!" Then he walked towards his home without looking back. Lao Si and Lin Jia, Lao Si did not live in the same community, and the two communities were a ten-minute walk apart. The community where Lao Da and Lin Jia lived was a residential area for employees under the steel company to which their parents belonged. The community scenery near a huge lake is the best choice in this small town. The old people who practiced in the morning had already finished their morning exercises and went to the vegetable market inside the community to buy dishes for the whole day to go home to prepare lunch.
Lin Jia waved goodbye to the boss and entered the cave of his house. The home on the fifth floor made Lin Jia, who was now slightly overweight and weak, breathed quite a bit. After finally climbing to the fifth floor, he carefully took out the key and opened the security door. He looked at it and found that there was no one in the living room. Lin Jia was ecstatic and quickly kicked off the sandals with broken legs on his feet and sneaked into his room.
But before he could successfully accomplish his purpose, a stern voice came from the kitchen: "Did you run there yesterday? You didn't come back all night!"
Lin Jia was scared and sweated in cold sweat. He turned around in surprise. His father was kneading dough in the kitchen in an apron. Then the screen door on the balcony sounded, and the crackling sound of slippers came quickly, and his mother rushed out.
Before Lin Jia could speak, the short-sized mother roared like a volcano erupted: "You gangster! You are so evil! You are getting more and more courageous! You ran there crazy all night? Ah?"
Lin Jia's heart was thumping, but pretended to be nothing, and took off her sweatshirt that was almost rotten, and said with a smile: "I'm playing at Xu Hongbin's house..."
"I want to play all night? Is it fun to be hiss?" My mother scolded and took the stinking sweatshirt from Lin Jia's hand: "A terrible guy! It's so stinking!"
My father walked out with the flour on his hands, glared at Lin Jia, who was careless, and shouted: "I don't know if I'm going out to play and I'm going back! You won't call and say it! Do you know how much worry about you in the house?" At home, Lin Jia is most afraid of my mother, because once my mother starts talking, she will never repeat the chanting within two hours. For Lin Jia, it is even more painful than Sun Wukong's listening to Tang Seng recite the tight hoop curse for two hours. However, once his father, who is usually warm and always cheerful, it means he is dead.
"I called back yesterday afternoon! Someone answered! Did you go there yesterday afternoon? Haha, aren't you in the house! Dad, you were not resting yesterday?" Lin Jia complained first. He knew that his father, who was resting yesterday, would go to the market on the Yangtze River to buy some wholesale fruits and vegetables. Compared with the price of the community, the wholesale goods in the market are much cheaper. Parents who have always been frugal usually save some distances to buy the goods they need. The mother who retired at home is a person who can't stay idle. In the afternoon, she would go to the green woods in the community downstairs to enjoy the cool air, and chat with some elderly people, playing small cards, etc., so Lin Jia took his life to gamble and bet that there was no one at home yesterday afternoon.
Fortunately, my parents' tone eased, and my father said, "I went to buy vegetables in the afternoon. If I can't get through, you won't call me again when I have dinner..."
Lin Jia breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be fine, walked to his room, took out a pair of clean briefs and walked to the bathroom, and complained as he walked: "I went to play basketball with them yesterday afternoon, and went to Hazi.com in the evening. Later, after the money was spent, I went to Xu Hongbin's house to play game consoles, and had supper in his house. Later, when I was happy, I slept in their house... When I was playing outside, I was spending money again, so why did I call the house!"
When my father heard Lin Jia explain where he was going, he turned back to the kitchen and kneaded noodles. Lin Jia's ancestral home is Henan, and he loves pasta, so my father would knead noodles every now and then to make dumplings. But while my mother threw Lin Jia's stinky sweatshirt into the basin, she nagged: "How are you sleeping in another room? The adults in another room think you are sloppy? Didn't you just give you 10 yuan yesterday? You're almost used up? I've used up all day long, and I don't know how much money I'll lose in this room for you!? Look at another room, I don't know how much obedient it is, and you don't listen to your studies! If you go to college, you will know how much money you will make after you come out..."
Lin Jia easily got into the bathroom to take a shower. He knew that he had already passed the test. He breathed a sigh of relief and naturally he would not go to listen to his mother's Chenzhizi who had been chanting for many times. He took a shower with cold water and hurriedly took the time to go to bed.
