Time flies, half a month has passed, Xi Zichen has gone abroad, the Tang family has been thoroughly investigated and cleaned, the winter vacation has passed quietly, and the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the whole city has passed.

All the merchants have returned to their normal working atmosphere, and after a month, when Gu Xiaoman came to Uncle Luo's store again, there was one more person in the store to help with chores.

Dressed almost exactly like Uncle Luo, Gu Xiaoman heard several little girls whispering about what handsome guys and what was good and stylish as soon as he entered the door.

With doubts, Gu Xiaoman lay down in the gap of the kitchen curtain and looked at the busy back kitchen.

It's just a side face, although I didn't see it carefully, but it was really handsome, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, which ......

Just as he was thinking about who the person was, Gu Xiaoman's eyes widened in surprise, "Teacher Ji?"

Subconsciously sultry movements, Ji Nan raised his eyebrows, "Here, Xiao Man." ”

The four words came out of Ji Nan's mouth, although they were a little funny and untimely, but ...... But it made her eyes ache.

It's like when she was in the orphanage in the past, she often secretly ran out to play, and then she was still a road idiot, and every time Brother Xiaonan ran out to find her back.

Many times, Gu Xiaoman would stand next to a big rock and silently wait for her brother Xiaonan to take her home.

Brother Xiaonan said, "If you can't find a home in the future, just stand on a high place, I will definitely find you and take you home." ”

As a child, she didn't believe it, so she experimented many times, but each time she went to a place that was either a garden or a wasteland.

On the tree, she didn't dare to climb, so she could only find a flat stone to stand obediently, and then every time Brother Xiaonan could just find her.

Therefore, subconsciously, Gu Xiaoman would feel that as long as he stood on the stone, Brother Xiaonan would definitely take him home.

No matter how many times she was taken back by him, he would never get angry, and every time he would say to her very gently, "Silly girl, let's go home." ”

Go home......

It seems that only when the word 'home' comes out of his mouth can he truly be home.

Fate is really a very wonderful and mysterious thing.

It's just an egg fried rice, and she actually saw the relatives in her memory again, once in her poor life, he gave her the only warmth.

said hello to her, but the girl not only did not react, but was stunned in place.

What's the situation?

Puzzled, Ji Nan stepped forward, Ji Nan reached out and gently tapped her forehead, "Little girl, why are you in a daze?"

Suddenly reacting, Gu Xiaoman let out a blank "Ah?", then stood up straight, looked at Ji Nan who poked his head out of the curtain, and shook his head, "No...... Nothing, I'm just curious how you ended up here. ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing at Uncle Luo, who was busy, Ji Nan said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm here to help the master." ”

"Master?"

Surprised, everyone who was eating at the counter was shocked, and looked up neatly at the two people who were talking at the kitchen door.

When Ji Nan served the food just now, several girls didn't dare to watch Ji Nan carefully.

At this moment, far away, several girls can finally boldly observe Ji Nan.

"Look, look, it's really handsome!"

"Isn't it a star?"

"Celebrity, no way, if it's a celebrity, how can you come to work?"

"But why do you feel so familiar?"

A few girls were chattering here, and Ji Nan hurriedly took Gu Xiaoman's hand and walked into the back kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Looking at him with a shocked look, Gu Xiaoman asked puzzled.

Pointing to the door, Ji Nan spoke vigilantly, "If they find out who I am, I won't be able to keep this little leisure here in the future." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Xiaoman didn't understand what he meant, and instinctively exclaimed.

waved her hand, and Ji Nan didn't explain too much, after all, she didn't understand it anymore.

Looking at the two people leaning against the wall and talking, Uncle Luo's stingy smile revealed, "Xiao Man is here." ”

Compared with his estrangement and politeness to Ji Nan, Gu Xiaoman immediately showed a daughter-like smile, "Uncle Luo, have a good New Year." ”

"New Year's Day?" Uncle Luo looked at the calendar hanging on the wall suspiciously, Uncle Luo thought he had remembered the wrong day, "Soon February Erlong will look up, how about the New Year?"

"Uncle Luo, this is the first time we have met after the Chinese New Year, and I have to make up for the missing supplies during the New Year. After speaking, Gu Xiaoman stretched out his hand, "Uncle Luo......"

Looking at her open palm, Uncle Luo suddenly understood, and quickly took out the red envelope from the pocket of his apron, "I can't forget it." As he spoke, he put the red envelope in Gu Xiaoman's hand, "Happy New Year, little girl who grew up." ”

Growing up little girl?

Gu Xiaoman proudly raised the red envelope, but he was pondering the meaning of Uncle Luo's words in his heart.

She will be 20 years old after the New Year, how can she still be a little girl.

However, in front of Uncle Luo, she is still a child after all.

Satisfied, he put away the red envelope, and Gu Xiaoman said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Luo." ”

After knowing each other for so many years, Uncle Luo really has a feeling that he treats Gu Xiaoman as his own child, especially during this time, too many things have happened to Gu Xiaoman, he has been by his side, and Aunt Su has been talking about her past with Du Shiyan, and her feelings for Gu Xiaoman have become deeper and deeper.

Uncle Luo had just finished kneading the dough with flour in his hands, so Gu Xiaoman turned around, Uncle Luo carefully observed it, and after making sure that it was healthy, he was relieved and asked, "I heard Sister Su say that you and Du ...... Something happened to Mr. Du, has he recovered?"

After having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Aunt Su Zai Jinshi Villa that day, an uncle in Uncle Luo's hometown died, and Uncle Luo rushed back to handle the funeral with his family.

I haven't gone home for many years, after handling these things, plus greetings with neighbors and visiting relatives, it will be spring when Uncle Luo rushes back to Jiangcheng.

Aunt Su called a few times in the middle, Uncle Luo knew about Gu Xiaoman and Du Shiyan's injuries, and when he came back, the two lived in the Du family's old house, Uncle Luo was not easy to go, but after listening to Aunt Su, the two of them were fine, and Uncle Luo's heart was relieved.

I always wanted to find an opportunity to see the two of them, but some old customers were urging from time to time to miss his face, so Uncle Luo quickly packed up the store, and then started work.

As soon as he started work here, Ji Nan came in the afternoon and said something to help the master.

He didn't accept such an apprentice, and besides, even if he accepted an apprentice, he would also take care of Xiaoman.

Listening to Gu Xiaoman, this Ji Nan is a world-renowned chef, and he has won the gold medal of the so-called 'Oscar' award in the catering industry.
