Part 3
In the scorching summer, only the early morning is more refreshing.
It was half past four in the morning, and it was still dark.
Under the street lamp, a sanitation worker's car is parked on the side of the road, and a figure is sweeping up the fallen leaves and garbage on the side of the street, and begins the boring and boring day-to-day work.
Xihuan City is an ordinary small town, and there are very few fast food restaurants open 24 hours a day, only in the downtown area.
Generally speaking, most of the earliest shops to open are in old streets or remote alleys, where all kinds of breakfast stalls and small restaurants are steaming, and the morning air is filled with the strong aroma of food.
One of them, called Law Kee Restaurant, is a medium-sized restaurant that has been open for nearly ten years. Not to mention the number of customers, the daily traffic used to be more or less, until the past two years, the store's turnover continued to rise.
The people who run the restaurant work very hard, getting up before dawn every day, and they can only rest at 11 o'clock in the evening.
The boss's name is Luo Yusheng, 36 years old this year, a retired soldier who has made many third-class merits. He was injured and disabled in the line of duty during a rescue and disaster relief, and now he walks with a limp on his right foot.
He is a country kid with a low education, and after graduating from junior high school, he went to join the army to find a way out.
An only son, his parents died one after another while he was in the army. At that time, he was on a mission in a different place, unaware.
By the time he knew, the second elder had already gone down to the ground to settle down.
After retiring, he was arranged to work in the county unit, and after less than a year, he felt bored, resigned, and used all his belongings to open a shop in the old city to open a small restaurant.
The first floor is for business, and the second floor is for people.
Soon after the store opened, he met Gu Ning, a nurse who came to eat, and they looked at each other, and the two soon got married.
did not get the certificate, as soon as he came, Gu Ning was busy with work, and the procedures for moving the household registration were very troublesome, so he simply did not get the certificate first, and made a wedding wine in the hometown of both parties.
Now the two have a son and a daughter, and the eldest son Luo Tianyou is 10 years old this year. was originally named Luo Dayou, but there is a star-chasing mother who really can't afford to hurt it!
It's a pity that he was strongly opposed by Luo Yusheng, so he became Luo Tianyou.
The youngest daughter was originally named Luo Xuan, but every time her parents called her name, she either pretended to be asleep or pretended to be dead. caused her parents to think that she had a hearing problem, so they took her to the hospital for examination.
After many times of speculation, he was finally discovered by the smart eldest brother, and this was changed to Luo Qingyu.
At the end of the 90s, family planning was still strict.
The arrival of the little daughter of the Luo family was purely accidental, Gu Ning has been taking pregnancy tests according to the regulations during her Shanghuan period, and she is still pregnant with a second child.
The relevant departments had a certain amount of responsibility for this accident, and the couple were reluctant to get rid of the child, so Luo Yusheng found a lot of relationships, and finally kept the child and Gu Ning's job.
The family of four is neat and tidy, and they are happy.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to support alone, and after Luo Yusheng took down the store, he found an old comrade-in-arms who had retired from the army to help. The other party and his wife came together, and after getting acquainted with the environment, the couple resigned and opened a hardware store in the other side of the city.
The business is very good, and he also took the child to his side, and he has been in contact with the Luo family.
Over the years, the business of Luo Ji Restaurant has been getting better and better, and after the comrades-in-arms and their husbands and wives left, Luo Yusheng hired a loyal couple again. It just so happened that Gu Ning's sister Gu Wanting wanted to come over to play, so she simply became a waiter and a part-time nanny.
Her task is to look after the store, such as helping her when she is busy, and to help her sister take care of the child, the unexpected second child.
However, she was still young and couldn't get up in the morning. However, Luo Qingyu is an early bird, and he follows his father Luo Yusheng every day to make morning luck and prepare for the opening of the store.
Of course, she is a little milk baby, and she can't help her father, so she just needs to sit on the side.
Luo Yusheng is a strict wife, and his daughter-in-law Gu Ning is a scholar when she is studying, a royal sister when she is working, and a queen at home. She has always been responsible for the cultural education of the children, and the two have never quarreled, and they are a model couple in the eyes of outsiders.
As a father, he is very self-aware.
The eldest son studies well, even if he is playing every day, he has a full score in every subject during the exam, and there is no need for parents to worry, and he has clearly inherited his mother's good genes.
Gu Ning is strict with his son's work and rest, and Luo Yusheng originally wanted to train his son to become the successor of the army. But the son didn't appreciate it, and he shouted tired and painful at every turn, and when the mother heard it, she immediately banned her husband's child abuse.
The minority obeyed the majority, Luo Yusheng had no choice, so he had to let go and make his son comfortable for a few years. Now that I have a little girl, my living habits are very compatible with him, and I am finally a little comforting.
The son is not like him, at least he has a daughter who is his ally, and he will not be too weak in this family.
Glancing at his daughter in a hurry, Luo Yusheng, who was sitting at the cashier at the door, comforted himself.
Although this alliance is still small, it has no say......
Early this morning, the scenery at the entrance of Luo Kee Restaurant is as always.
A delicate little girl sat by the door with a small bench, she was wearing denim suspender children's pants, a short-sleeved shirt, and a round face. There are two small braids combed high on his head, and there are thin and soft bangs scattered on his forehead, which are slightly messy.
The hair is too fine, and every day I get up, my hair is fluffy, and I feel like my milk is fried. It looks pleasing to the eye, feels good, and often customers involuntarily stretch out their claws to give her a touch to kill.
"Yo, Qingqing got up so early," Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, who had just finished running in the morning, came again, and the old lady rubbed the top of her head with a smile, "Aren't you going to help Dad make breakfast?"
Luo Qingyu was nibbling on the white rice cake that her father bought for her, and she bought it next door, and she was tired for a while when she heard it. Still smiling, he raised his little face and said in a milky voice: "I'm too young to do it." ”
Can you stop harassing her every morning? These old ladies and old men are really ...... Hand owes.
"Oh yes, you're still young," the old lady said with a look of realization, "what about your brother?"
"Sleep at home. ”
Luo Qingyu ignored her after speaking, and continued to focus on nibbling his rice cakes. When he was thirsty, he stretched out his paws and took a sip of a glass of warm boiled water on the stool, and then continued to nibble.
Seeing that the second elder of the Wang family was rare, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was a little jealous in his heart.
Although it is too quiet, compared to the naughty monkey who sits for less than half a second, such a child is simply not too comfortable.
The baby is easy to give birth to and raise, which is a rare blessing for parents.
After being a milk doll for nearly three years, Luo Qingyu was completely numb to the provocative teasing of the neighborhood. Especially the old man in front of her, every day she teased, she began to maintain a polite attitude, year after year, she couldn't laugh anymore.
At a young age, you have to entertain people, and you are tired.
Fortunately, the coolness of the morning and the silence of the streets had a calming effect on her heart.
Many people think that childhood is precious, but children don't know it, and they can't regret it when they grow up. Life is so delicate, if you don't live it all over again, you don't know what your childhood was like.
She sat quietly by the door, staring intently at passers-by.
It's been three years, and every time I see an acquaintance and a familiar scene, I feel inexplicably excited. I still remember that in her previous life, when she was five or six years old, she also sat at the door like this, eating and watching people come and go.
There are many tall cypress trees planted along the road in front of the door, and in the summer, a cool breeze blows, and the branches rustle from the treetops, which is refreshing.
Unfortunately, later the city renovated and cut down the cypress trees and planted dwarf redbud trees instead.
Due to poor maintenance by the relevant departments, only one or two out of every ten trees on the roadside survive. The flowers are beautiful, but the trees are too low to keep the dust out, and the houses on both sides of the road are sunburned like steamers, and the residents are complaining.
The greening effect is poor, and as time goes by, the surface of the houses on both sides of the road is covered with a thick layer of ash, which is particularly ugly.
