My heart changed anther mode, and then I stood up, and quickly went to take a few dishes. In the surprised eyes of the classmate, I put the meal in the middle of the table. The classmate looked at me and puzzled: “Sorry about that. I just don’t know how to speak, so that I don't have a friend now. I am very sorry."

The classmate's eyes softened a lot, and then he still shook his head and ate his meal. I said again: "You think I am not good at speaking, right?" My tone of voice mourns like the abandoned little woman. The classmate obviously felt embarrassed, hurriedly shaking his head. Then in my repeated words, he finally carefully got a little vegetarian, putting it into his own bowl.

I saw the situation and hurriedly moved some meat and vegetables to his side: "You're welcome."

Slowly, in my painstaking approach, the relationship between the two of us immediately became a lot better, and I also knew his name: Hu Tie, was a citizen. But his parents died early.
He was raised by and relied on his grandma who did some sewing for a living.

And I also succeeded in winning the favor of Hu Tie. It was still because of Xiao Tong, an old man with senile dementia. Hu Tie thought am a person full of filial piety. To him who relied on his grandmother to grow up, he naturally had very good will to me. In addition, we were all lonely people. He felt inferior because he was poor, and I was lonely because I was not good at speaking so that I had no friends.

I had a little guilty of cheating, but not many, because I also thought that Hu Tie this person was good. Why can't we become friends?

As for my filial piety, I looked at the second prince Xiao Tong at the side. Although this guy had an old face with a childlike heart which was a little unbearable to people, after all, he was the ancients. Saying that he was my elders seemed to be right.

Eating dinner, I slowly led to the topic of this small canteen, Hu Tie came to this canteen to have dinner from the beginning of the school and it had been nearly a year. He was very familiar with this small canteen. And he had been saying nice things about this small canteen.

Uncle Nu and Aunt Nu were the two old people who ran this small canteen. They didn’t hire people. Their workmanship was very good, and they never found anything bad in their meals. Only because people misunderstood the canteen in the past, the business had been bad.

I agreed with many of his words. These two old people's craft were really very good, but their names were very strange, and Hu Tie also did not know why it was called these names, but everyone called them.

I talked with Hu Tie for a long time, and we were already very familiar with each other, but I still did not find Lulu or the Queen's figure. I didn’t have the photos of either of them. Of course, the photo could not be taken out. There was no way to let Hu Tie help me identify people. I could only arrange to eat with Hu Tie here in the evening.

I was going to stay for a few meals and see if I was lucky enough to see Lulu.

Hu Tie went to school very soon, and I took Xiao Tong to stroll around the campus. We had been to the playground many times. The dead tree was removed, and there was no access or cave and so on below.

We were bored to stroll until the time to have meals. Hu Tie had already arrived before me. There were 4 dishes on the table. Although he had only one dish of meat, I could see his heartache from Hu Tie occasional looking toward the dish. This meal had been already overbudgeted for him.

I did not order again, because Hu Tie said tonight he would invite me. I was very happy to eat, but Hu Tie eat fast, and he had been urging me, which made me feel very strange.

"Hu Tie, eat without rush." I said helplessly.

Hu Tie swallowed the food in the mouth hard, opened his mouth and said: "The small canteen closed very early."

I was stupefied for a while. Looking at the time, I saw that it was only about 6:30pm, and then said: " It was at least at about 9:30pm even if you want to close the door as soon as possible, right?"

This period of time in the canteen, I also knew the canteen rule. close the door is mostly closed at 9:30pm, and the majority of canteen that sold night snack would close at 11:30pm. In fact, although many windows of several other canteens would close, there were night windows that would open. So really, these canteens closed at 11:30pm. Of course, it was normal that the canteen didn't sell snacks.

Who knew that Hu Tie shook his head directly: "Uncle Nu and others would close at seven o'clock."

At 7 o'clock? I was stupefied again. It was too early. The class ended at 5: 30pm. People who ate a little later would not be able to finished at 7: 00pm. I looked around. Sure enough, they basically ate fast. It seemed that they knew the rules here.

"Why is it so early?" "I asked curiously.

Hu Tie frowned and shook his head: "I don't know. It had always been like this."

I nodded, and also accelerated the speed of eating, but very strange in mind. Generally speaking, Closing the door would be more appropriate between 8 o'clock to 08:30. Seven o'clock was indeed a little early.

But I was only strange in the mind, and I did not think there was any problem. Business was not good. So it made sense that they closed down early.

After dinner, I went out with Hu Tieto see the time. It was at 6: 50. Sure enough, Uncle Nu and Aunt Nu the couple had already started cleaning, regardless of the 2 or 3 people who were still eating. And the rest of the people also accelerated the speed. They finished the meals within a few mouthfuls and left.

Hu Tie and I did not leave. We bought two bottles of water in the store opposite the canteen, sitting at the door of the canteen and chatted. The canteen did not sell water, but only soup, and today, Hu Tie did not order soup. So I was really thirsty.

After the people in the small canteen walked away, the wooden doors were closed, and through the antique windows they could still see Uncle Nu and others cleaning the canteen inside.

"Well, I would say there were ghosts."

A voice sounded not far away, because of their sensitivity to the word “ghost”. I looked at it in a moment. There was a man and two women sitting there, chatting.

I listened for a while. They seemed to be talking about ghosts in the canteen, and they were going to explore. And the small canteen closed early which had also become the evidence of ghost existing. Listening to their words, I could not help thinking of some of the people who explore the ghost building, and the heart sighed: Sure enough, No Zuo no die.

Hu Tiealso heard the people's words. His face was not good. He almost went over to argue with those people. I understood the reason why Hu Tie got angry. Those three people were talking more and more excessively. They hardly said directly that the Uncle Nu and Aunt Nu were the ghosts.

The feeling of inferiority of Hu Tie made him not stand up, and those people also made an agreement to explore at 11:00 in the evening, and the reason for 11:00 was that the dormitory would close at 12 o'clock.

Go exploring couldn’t be so unprofessional. I had seen the boy who had been encouraging exploration. I guessed he wanted to pick up girls.

Three people had left, but Hu Tie was still angry. He was sad even for his timidity. I could not see his look any longer, so I comforted: "It’s nothing. They are just not grown up yet. Why don't you just stop them at night."

My words let Hu Tie's eye light in a moment, and then directly agreed to meet with me this evening to stop the three boring students. He made me keep silent for a while. This would only let Aunt Nu and Uncle Nu give you some more dishes. He did not need to act so exaggerated.
