Chapter One Hundred and Four
I like to come to the alley wonton shop to eat noodles, in addition to the good noodles, good soup and good boss, the most important thing is that the speed below and above is so fast that you don't have to wait much. According to past experience, under normal circumstances, it takes no more than five minutes to eat a mouthful of steaming beef noodles. But today is really abnormal.
I looked down at my watch, and before I knew it, I had been chatting with Dr. Lin for more than ten minutes, but my noodles had not yet been served.
It's strange that I looked around the room and brought me and Dr. Lin to the table, and there were only two tables of customers in the store, which was a piece of cake compared to the ten tables full at the peak.
"Lei Lei, Auntie asks you, how is Dad feeling today?" I stretched out a finger on the tip of the bear child's round nose and tapped it gently.
The bear child held his head in his two chubby hands and thought hard for a long time before he told me very seriously: "I don't know." ”
"Probably because there was a guest at home suddenly," Dr. Lin poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a happy smile: "Hurriedly ran back to say hello, and as soon as he said hello, he forgot about the guests in the store." ”
Does this sound like words?
"Uh," Dr. Lin's smiling eyes squinted, trying to hold up a slit, as if he wanted to show a hint of rigor, but unfortunately, his face did not match the natural eight characters of rigor, and finally smiled: "I have also had such an experience." ”
Uh, I didn't expect you to be such Dr. Lin.
"Dr. Lin, you have such a good sense of humor. I smiled: "Even if the boss forgets, the boss lady who is here ...... Uh, what's the lady ......" I turned my head to find that the front desk behind me was already empty.
About fifteen minutes ago, a young man came down from upstairs, and she immediately dragged him to the back kitchen. Dr. Lin said slowly, "That young man ......"
"It's my brother. ”
Lei Lei frowned, pouted unhappily and said.
"Brother is back?" I seemed to be a little frowning: "When did you come back?"
"I came back from lunch. ”
It seems that today's bowl of noodles really can't wait.
"Dr. Lin, let's go eat lard mixed with powder. I stood up and patted the bear child on the head: "Lei Lei, see you tomorrow." ”
The little guy exhaled sensibly: "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”
If you are a normal person, you should be curious to ask a question or two when you encounter this situation. But I seem to have forgotten that Dr. Lin never wanted to prove that he was a normal person.
Coming out of the wonton shop, I quickly stopped a taxi, he hesitated, I had to get in the car first, and soon, he also got in the car.
"You hesitated when you just got in the car, did you want to ask, why didn't I plan to eat noodles at the wonton restaurant as soon as I heard 'my brother is back'?"
Seeing that I was about to arrive at the noodle shop, I finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask the question.
Dr. Lin tilted his head sideways and smiled faintly: "No." Seeing that I looked incredulous, this gentle man smiled more and more deeply: "I actually wanted to ask, do you need me to drive over?"
What?!
"You, your car...... Where did it stop?"
"The entrance of the wonton store. ”
Is this man here to be funny?
I had a headache, a splitting headache.
"Dr. Lin is here," the proprietress greeted us with much more enthusiasm than when I came alone: "It's a little late today, the road is jammed, right?" said as she led us to a place where no one was around: "It's not too late, and you don't have to share a table with someone." ”
"It's nice to be able to share a table with interesting people. ”
I walked in the middle, Dr. Lin walked at the end, although the customers in the store had already walked to the table and did not need to share the table, but there were still six tables of customers scattered around, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, making a lot of noise. When Dr. Lin speaks, he is always not strong enough, but he is more than gentle, and I am not surprised that the proprietress did not hear his words clearly.
"That's a good seat, so sit here. ”
The proprietress had a look on her face that Dr. Lin had not answered her question and instructed us to sit down.
"It's nice to be able to share a table with interesting people. Not only do I not mind, but I am happy. ”
As soon as he sat down, Dr. Lin was very surprised and repeated the words with a smile.
When the proprietress heard this, her face was slightly frustrated, and she smiled like a flower again, and recommended us a lot of specialty dishes that can only be prepared for supper.
I've never had a late-night snack, and the enthusiasm of people has nothing to do with me, so when I heard Dr. Lin stop asking for my advice every time, I should have smiled vaguely and didn't speak.
"Dr. Lin, could it be that you, like me, are also a severely handicapped patient who doesn't know how to cook? ”
After the proprietress left, I couldn't help but tease him.
"I'm afraid you didn't hear it," Dr. Lin laughed as if he was joking with me, "Because, I've only shared a table with you." ”
Here you go again, and you come again and pretend to tease me.
"Dr. Lin, do you know? A lot of times, I really envy you. ”
"For example?"
"For example, when you come across a wonton shop, you can not be curious at all, as if you don't care too much about anything, you don't take it seriously, and you don't get angry about someone or something. If I had your courage, I don't think I would have more troubles than joys. ”
"Uh," Dr. Lin seemed to think about it seriously, "what's going on at the wonton shop?"
Ha?!
I looked at the scraps on the table next to me, big brother, you ask now, don't call it a remark, this is a snake to add to the problem.
But I still stubbornly cooperated with satisfying his curiosity in hindsight.
"Brother Lei Lei has been an excellent child since he was a child, and he is currently studying in a major college in other provinces. I was also eating noodles this morning, and I happened to hear the proprietress tell the boss that the child was going to drop out of school. Unexpectedly, the child came back at noon, and the boss didn't have the heart to do business, which was reasonable. ”
"Uh," Dr. Lin seemed to be thinking seriously again, "what happened to you?"
"Dr. Lin, that's not how we chat. ”
I took a sip of preserved egg and lean porridge, although there are a lot of troubles, I really want to talk to someone at the moment, but as a professional with more than ten years of experience, I have long understood that the troubles and grievances at work, no matter how difficult it is to hold back, it is not suitable to pour bitter water with whoever is caught.
It's not that I'm afraid of being laughed at, I'm like a sister-in-law of Xianglin, it's just a means of self-preservation.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a person who can talk. Dr. Lin smiled apologetically, "I hope you don't get me wrong, I'm inquiring about your privacy." ”
"That's not what I meant," the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, I put down the spoon, and explained to him with a weak heart: "I mean, you are not at all curious about why Brother Lei Lei dropped out of school?
"Uh," Dr. Lin thought more seriously this time than the previous two times, "Why did Brother Lei Lei drop out of school?"
Chat, why are you more tired than I am on the last shift?
I took a deep breath and got up from my seat with a smile: "Dr. Lin, I'll go to the bathroom." As soon as I turned around, I saw a panting Chen Yifen running in from outside, and the corners of my mouth trembled: "You, Chen Yifen, what's wrong with your face?"
"Ahem," Chen coughed unnaturally, and quickly blocked the right side of his face with his right hand, "Cat scratch." ”
I smiled unkindly, it may be okay to lie to others with this, but lie to me, hehe, really when this girl tore Mo Jia's face back then, was it torn for nothing?
