“...... Come on, Xiaoyao, mom will pour you Coke. ”

The middle-aged woman smiled on her face, took the Coke in front of the child, unscrewed it, and poured a cup into the cup in front of the little boy.

The little boy still lowered his head and was silent as if he hadn't heard.

"Don't you take a sip, if you don't drink it, your mother will drink it. ”

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she made a gesture to get the Coke.

It's just that the little boy lowered his head and didn't react,

“...... Hey, mom teases you, how can mom drink your coke, it's okay, if you don't want to drink it now, mom will put it here for you, and you can drink it after a while. ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the child's silent appearance with her head bowed, and after a pause, a smile appeared on her face,

“...... Then Xiaoyao, let's order, okay?"

“...... What do you want to eat? Mom will give you some, okay?

...... Then mom read to Xiao Yao, if you want to eat, you can nod your head, okay?"

The little boy never answered, and the middle-aged woman still had a smile on her face and took the trouble to talk to the little boy.

......

At the same time, on the other side of the restaurant, by the door, the old lady was also eating with the little girl.

“...... Here, Tongtong, eat another piece of chicken. ”

The old lady smiled and took a piece of chicken from the bowl and put it in the little girl's bowl.

"Hmm!"

The little girl sat on a stool, the table seemed a little high to her, tilted her head slightly, held the front half of the chopsticks, held the rice bowl in one hand, and planed the rice in the bowl.

"Grandma, you eat too. ”

"Grandma is old, she can't eat so much, Tongtong eats, Tongtong eats, grows taller, and the floor is beautiful and bright. The old lady smiled and said,

"Grandma, I'll clip you a piece of ...... too"

As she spoke, the little girl straightened her body and hands, leaned forward, held her chopsticks, and picked up a piece of chicken with some difficulty, and handed it to her grandmother's bowl.

The old lady hurriedly picked up the bowl and took the meat on the little girl's chopsticks.

"Grandma, ...... you eat" The front end of the chopsticks trembled a little, and the chicken was just caught by the old lady,

"Okay, grandma eats, grandma eats ......"

Laughing, in response, the old lady picked up the chicken in the bowl with chopsticks and took a bite,

“...... Well, it's delicious, what Tongtong sandwiches for grandma is delicious. ”

"Then grandma eats more, grandma eats, and she grows taller, and she is beautiful and shiny on the ground. The little girl sat back in her chair and said to her grandmother.

“...... Okay, good ......," the old lady smiled and responded.

......

On the other side of the restaurant, next to the corner,

As if hearing the conversation between the old lady and her granddaughter by the door, the silent little boy raised his head for the first time and looked towards the door of the restaurant, the old lady and her granddaughter.

There was silence, and the little boy watched stunned.

“...... Xiao Yao, does Xiao Yao want to eat the food that the grandmother and that sister eat?" beside the little boy, the boy's mother, the middle-aged woman looked at the dining table by the door and asked aloud,

When the words fell, the little boy turned his head and looked at his mother, but he did not answer, but lowered his head again and fell silent.

“...... Then order three cups of chicken and another stewed tofu, okay?

"Then mom ordered it. ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman raised her head again and shouted into the kitchen,

"Waiter, trouble ordering food. ”

"Here we are...... Here it ......."

In the kitchen, the waiter hurriedly walked out,

"What do you want today?" the waiter asked as he walked over to the table,

"Just three cups of chicken and one stewed tofu...... Is there anything better?"

The waiter listened, ticked two strokes on the paper menu, raised his head again, and looked at the middle-aged woman and the little boy next to him,

After a pause on the little boy, he continued,

“...... Today there happened to be tamales, which were originally reserved for us to eat, and if you want, I can give it to you. ”

"Then let's have another tamale. ”

When the waiter heard this, he looked at the little boy who was silent with his head down, and after a pause, he nodded,

"Okay, you wait a minute. ”

With that, the waiter turned around and re-entered the kitchen.

......

“...... Xiaoyao, how are you doing at school today? Have you played games with your classmates...... Can you talk to your mom?"

The child's mother lowered her head, looked at her child, and asked aloud,

“...... Play marbles, hide and seek...... Your dad wanted to play these things when he was a kid, Xiaoyao, can you play them? If you can't play, your mother can teach you. ”

Although the little boy should not say a word, the boy's mother still spoke.

......

“...... Little brother, your dishes are all served to you, do you need to cook?"

"Let's make a bowl. ”

At the dining table, the waiter took two dishes and put them on the table in front of Lian Ge.

"Then you wait a minute, I'll call you. ”

As he spoke, the waiter took another bowl from the side, and then next to the kitchen, he took a bowl of rice and handed it to Lian Ge.

"If you use it slowly, and if you need to add more food, just ask. ”

After speaking, the waiter hurried into the kitchen again.

Seeing the waiter disappear from sight, and then glancing at the middle-aged woman and the little boy at the table next to him, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, and while eating, he continued to listen to the sounds that lingered in his ears from time to time on both sides of the restaurant.

......

“...... Three cups of chicken, stewed tofu, and tamale...... The dishes are all ready. ”

Not long after, the waiter came out of the kitchen with the dishes again,

Stewed tofu and three cups of chicken were placed in front of the middle-aged woman, and the tamales were placed in front of the little boy.

"Let's get some food. ”

"Okay. I'll call you right away. ”

As the waiter spoke, she walked away again, and the middle-aged woman turned her head back and looked at her child.

“...... Xiao Yao, the dishes are all up, let's eat, and when we finish eating, Xiao Yao will continue to think about his own affairs, okay?"

The little boy heard this, raised his head again, looked at his mother, and then looked across the table.

“...... Still a bowl away. ”

The little boy spoke aloud, and then lowered his head again,

"Xiaoyao?" the middle-aged woman couldn't help but call,

"You didn't bring a bowl to Grandpa. The little boy bowed his head and said again,

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but pause, and then, bowed down, looked at the little boy, and said distressedly,

“...... Xiao Yao, grandpa he ...... Grandpa he has gone far away, he will not come back, he is no longer there. ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman picked up the chopsticks,

“...... Let's have a good meal, Xiao Yao, come, Mom will give you a piece of tofu, and Xiao Yao will eat a piece of stewed tofu. ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman took chopsticks, took a piece of tofu from the dish in front of her, and put it in the little boy's bowl.

“...... Grandpa didn't leave, he won't go, he didn't die......"

The little boy instantly became excited and stood up directly from his seat,

"You don't understand anything, you don't know anything...... I don't eat tofu, I've always disliked tofu!"

The little boy shouted loudly at her mother,

Listening to her child's words, the child's mother paused,

looked at the excited child, and looked at it again, in the bowl, the piece of tofu, and couldn't help but fall silent,

In the restaurant, it became a little quiet for a while,

“...... I remembered, Mom remembered...... Xiao Yao doesn't like to eat tofu, and her mother remembers. ”

With self-reproach in her eyes, the little boy's mother squeezed out a smile on her face, looked at her child, and said loudly,
