There is a noodle shop downstairs. The noodle shop is run by a girl.

He often worked late into the night, and the lights in the noodle shop were always on for him.

One uninteresting winter night, he walked into the noodle shop as usual, dragging his skin bag. There was already a steaming bowl of beef noodles in his usual seat.

He sat down, picked up a chopstick face, face white, slender, like the girl's willow waist, "Yi slip" a sound sucked into the mouth, smooth teeth, and then immersed in a big gulp of noodle soup, the warm flow over his mouthpiece, into the stomach, the fatigue of the whole day, also disappear.

I do not know when, the girl has sat across from him, smiling at him, she has a pair of peach blossom eyes, smile like curved crescent son, very nice.

The girl opened her mouth and said, "What, have you been scolded by the leader again? With a long face."

He put down the bowl, glanced out the door, and muttered, "Today's noodles... It's delicious."

"Nonsense, which day is not delicious!" The girl took him by the collar, shook her little white fist, and said ferociously, "How dare you change the subject, speak! Is there something you're not telling me?"

He hastily waved his hand, hesitating, "No... No, no!"

The girl clapped the table and roared: "You wait!"

Then she turned and went into the kitchen. When she came out again, she had a kitchen knife in her hand.

His eyes widened, too frightened to speak.

While caressing the back of the knife, the girl slowly walked towards him, with a sweet smile on her face: "I just sharpened the knife today, but soon!"

For a moment, his thoughts turned very fast, as a man with an altitude of 1.8 meters, at this time, he should stand up, hold his head high, and shout: "Woman chivalry spare life!"

Voice just fell, only listen to "when" of a sound, kitchen knife cut in his side, a hair with resentment and do not give up, die.

At this moment, an old beggar stopped at the door and looked cautiously inside. Seeing this, he was shocked and froze.

The girl immediately throw AWAY KITCHEN KNIFE, smiling face YINGying GROUND WALKED PAST: "BIG YE, YOU COME, QUICK, QUICK COME IN SIT!"

Turn round to say to him: "YOU, hurry to the kitchen next bowl noodles, put more meat!"

"Good! Good!"

Relieved, he hurried into the kitchen.

After a while, the old beggar finished his noodles and left.

She tapped the knife and rolled her eyes. He moved to a safe distance before he said, "I did well. The company decided to let me go for an MBA."

When the girl heard this, her eyes brightened and she quickly said: "It's a good thing. After reading it, you are also a big boss!"

With a sigh, he added: "In a foreign country, you might spend a few years in a foreign headquarters to learn management experience."

The noodle shop suddenly became quiet. On the street outside, cars came and went, and the wind spread throughout the noodle shop.

For a long time, the folding door outside the noodle shop slowly fell, the light inside, out.

The next morning, when he woke up, a bowl of steaming noodles had been set on the table.

He ate his noodles in silence and walked out of the restaurant in silence.

He walked a few steps and looked back. There was a sign on the door: Closed today.

Ten years later.

One bland winter night, the old beggar, wearing a padded coat full of patches, entered the noodle shop.

The child saw, holding a big bowl of noodles to meet out: "Grandpa, you are here!"

The old beggar took the face trembling, said: "Good boy, thank you, I go out to eat, don't... Don't make a mess here."

The girl came out with a smile, helped him to the seat, said: "Hey, it is too late, there is no one, eat quickly!"

The old beggar took the noodles full of beef, gulping into them, unconsciously, tears flow down.

Then a man in a suit walked to the door and looked in at a distance.

The girl accidentally glanced at him and froze for a while. She hurriedly took off her coat and put it on the old beggar's body, saying, "Father, eat quickly and let's go home after eating!"

The child looked up curiously and tried to say something, but the girl covered her mouth.

When the man outside the door heard this, he dropped his ring box.

After a while, he turned away and walked away in silence.

At this moment, the old beggar suddenly stood up.

He called out the door, "Get back here, silly boy. She's been waiting for you for ten years!"
