"Are you hungry, dear? I'll go make a bowl of noodles."

"You're not feeling well, I'll do it." The man stood up, looking a bit anxious.

"I'll do it, Wu Ge doesn't like the noodles you make." Lin Mo entered the kitchen, unsure of what to say to the man in front of her.

"Brother, when did you two get married?"

"Oh, we've been married for several years." The man seemed a bit uneasy.

"Is Lin Mo in good health?"

"She's alright, a bit weak, but nothing serious. I cook delicious food for her every day to nourish her."

I chuckled, this man was indeed simple-minded. "Nourishing her is good, nourishing her is good."

"Kind sir, when did you get out?"

"It's been a few years." I cautiously asked again, "Do you know about us?"

"I know, Lin Mo told me everything." He hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Lin Mo didn't wait for you, not because she doesn't care about you, but because she feels she's not worthy of you."

"She's not in good health, feels like she won't live long, and even if she does, she can't have children. She said you like children."

"I'm just a simple man, not a big shot. She doesn't look down on me, and I don't look down on her. Let's live together and get by."

I patted his shoulder heavily, "Thank you, thank you for taking care of her."

"No, no, we should thank you..."

Lin Mo came out of the kitchen with a bowl of plain noodles.

I wasn't afraid of getting burned, so I ate heartily.

"I've always said, with your skills, opening a noodle shop would definitely support you."

As the man said this, he had a face full of happiness.

Lin Mo looked shy, I felt envious.

It's good, as long as Lin Mo is living well, that's all that matters.

"Kind sir, don't rush to leave today, I'll stir-fry some dishes, let's have a drink."

"Alright."

"Alright."

The couple went to the kitchen to work together.

I ate the noodles too quickly earlier, my mouth felt like it had blisters, a bit painful.

My stomach felt a bit uncomfortable, couldn't eat much.

I drank several sips of soup, determined to remember this taste.

Then I left 1000 yuan under the bowl, facing the setting sun, and left that small shop.

I shook my head, with a bitter smile, not sure if I was happy or regretful, just kept muttering to myself.

"As long as Lin Mo is living well, that's all that matters."

"As long as Lin Mo is living well, that's all that matters."
