Wait, not so that you can come back, but make an excuse not to leave!

——

The next day, Zhang Bo got up early in the morning, simply packed up, and set off to find the old-timer!

Zhang Bo came to a remote town in G City, and with the help of passers-by, he found the residence of the old-timers······

"Is Mr. Li at home?" Zhang Bo asked as he knocked on the door

"Who?" Li Lao replied as he came out to open the door

"Hello Mr. Li!" Zhang Bo greeted politely after opening the door

"You are?"

"Hello Mr. Li! My name is Zhang Bo, and I'm here to visit you."

"Oh! then~ come in and sit down for a while!"

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Li."

······

"Come, please drink tea!" After entering the door, Li Lao made a cup of tea for Zhang Bo

"Thank you! Li Lao, I took the liberty to disturb me today, I want you to help me make shoes."

"Xiao Zhang, I've been doing it for many years, you can find someone else!" Li Lao resolutely rejected Zhang Bo

"Li Lao, I really need these shoes, and you are the only one in the entire G City who has this craft, please!"

"I haven't done it since my wife left, and it's been nearly ten years now, even if I used to have this craft, I can't do it now."

"Elder Li, you are too modest"

"Okay, needless to say, let's go!" After speaking, Li Lao got up to see off the guests

"Li Lao, I beg you! Listen to me first, these shoes are really important to me! My favorite people especially like these shoes······"

"Okay, I won't do anything you say, let's go!" Before Zhang Bo finished speaking, Li Lao had already issued an order to expel the guest

"Li Lao, if your lover likes something very much, you will be desperate, right?" After Li Lao closed the door, Zhang Bo roared loudly outside the door

······

Although Mr. Li did not agree to Zhang Bo, Zhang Bo had already decided to ask Mr. Li for help! So Mr. Zhang Bo had been waiting outside the door! I hoped that his sincerity would impress Mr. Li······

"Why are you still here?" Li Lao went out to buy groceries, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhang Bo still standing at the door of his house

"Li Lao, if you don't promise me, I won't leave"

"Okay, stay then, I'll see how long you can stay."

"Li Lao, you are going to buy vegetables! I'll accompany you!" Zhang Bo said when he saw Li Lao carrying a vegetable basket in his hand

"······ you want"

······

"Elder Li, I'll carry it!"

Zhang Bo has been following Li Lao in the past few days, and as long as Li Lao goes out, Zhang Bo will always accompany him, whether it is walking or shopping for vegetables. As long as Li Lao stays at home, Zhang Bo will always stand at the door......

And so it went on until the fifth day. Li Lao was still moved by Zhang Bo's sincerity.

On this day, just after dawn, Li Lao came out to look at Zhang Bo and said: Come in and have breakfast!

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Zhang Bo said as he looked at Mr. Li excitedly

……

"I also see what you have done in the past few days, and I also thought about it carefully yesterday, maybe you are right!" After Zhang Bo entered the door, Li Lao said

"Really?"

"Hmm! Show me the drawings of the shoes you're going to make when you're done!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li! Here, this is the drawing" After Zhang Bo listened, he immediately handed over the prepared drawings to Mr. Li

"I'll take it in and have a look, and clean up this place after eating!" After saying that, Li Lao entered the studio in the back room

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

……

After Zhang Bo finished breakfast, he cleaned up Li Lao's house inside and out, and when he saw that Li Lao had not come out at noon, Zhang Bo made a home-cooked lunch at Li Lao's house......

"What's so fragrant?" Li Lao came out to check after smelling the fragrance

"Elder Li, you are coming out! I saw that the meal was ordered, and when I saw that you had vegetables in the kitchen, I made some home-cooked food casually, just right! You can eat" After Zhang Bo saw Elder Li come out, he stepped forward and said

"Good!"

……

"This tastes exactly the same as my wife's cooking!" Li Lao's eyes moistened after taking a bite

"Li Lao ......"

"I'm fine, it's just that I haven't tasted this for a long time, and I suddenly remembered something from a long time ago!"

"If you don't mind, I'll cook for you every Monday when I have time."

"You have a heart, I have seen the pair of shoes you want, the workmanship requirements are very fine, it takes a few days to get started, you are here with me these days, cook for me every day, it will be regarded as the reward for these shoes!"

"Then what's the matter, Li Lao! The food is wrapped around me, this is as it should be, but the reward must not be less!"

"Okay, this matter is decided, I wrote everything that needs to be prepared on this piece of paper, you go to buy it in the afternoon, where can I buy other things I wrote on the paper, as for the crystal masonry, you can figure it out yourself!"

"Okay! I know Elder Li! Let's eat first!"

……

After lunch, Zhang Bo took the paper given by Li Lao to look for everything he needed, and as for the one hundred and thirty crystal masonry, Zhang Bo contacted Junchen to help buy it......

Three hours later, Zhang Bo bought everything......

"Li Lao, I'm back!"

"So fast, have you bought it all?" said Li Lao as he looked at Zhang Bo with a surprised expression

"I've bought it all, this is what you need, this bag is crystal masonry" Zhang Bo handed Li Lao two bags of things

"Okay! In that case, I'll start, you go to buy vegetables and come back to cook, and then call me when you're done, remember, except for dinner, I'm not looking for you, don't come in and disturb me!

"Remember Elder Li!"

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Bo went to the supermarket and bought back almost all the home-cooked dishes he could cook, which was two large bags, almost enough for three days' worth of dishes......

In the next few days, Zhang Bo was like a housewife, cooking and studying how to cook every day! Li Lao was concentrating on his work, except for three meals a day, Li Lao came out to exaggerate a few words, and the two did not have any conversation at other times......

On the fourth day of the retreat, Lai Lao said: It's done!

Zhang Bo rushed in at once......

"Li Lao, are you done?"

"Yes, come and see!"

"It's exactly the same! Old Li, you're so amazing!" Zhang Bo took the shoe from Old Li's hand and looked at it carefully

"I haven't done it for almost ten years, and now I can still do it like this, which proves that I am not too old to be useful!"

"Teacher Li, where are you going, you still have a lot of years!"

"Hahaha, you kid, okay, go make the last dinner!

"Li Lao, thank you very much! I will not forget this kindness, I said that I will come to see you every week when I have time!"

"Good! good!"

"Well, then I'll go cook first, you can rest for a while!"

……

"My wife, looking at Xiao Zhang, it looks like we were back then!" After Zhang Bo left, Li Lao took out a very old photo and looked at it, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten......

After dinner, Zhang Bo took the remuneration to Li Lao, but Li Lao's predecessors refused to accept it, and finally had no choice but to agree to Li Lao......
