Chapter 222: Restaurant Adventure
I was not only surprised by Zhang Xiaoyu, but also by the voice that came. The voice was so familiar that I couldn't help but follow the prestige. I saw a man come out of the operation room, wearing a chef's clothes and an apron. Isn't this my uncle? I was completely stunned.
"Uncle, I'm Zhou Ran! Who are you?" Looking at my uncle and husband, I couldn't help but want to laugh.
"It's really you! I thought I was dazzled! Why did you get here? Is there something wrong?" asked the uncle, looking surprised.
"It's a little something, you go get busy first, and I'll talk to you later. I said, and then we drank slowly. Xiao Lizi had to drive for a while, so I drank with Zhou Haitao.
Zhang Xiaoyu seemed very lively, and ran over whenever he was free, and I chatted non-stop. Zhang Xiaoyu told me that her grandmother was sick, and then her mother took her brother back to her grandmother's house. It's been days, and she and her father are the only two people left in the hotel, and they're dying.
Finally getting busy, leaving a chef in the kitchen to deal with the scattered guests. The uncle sat down, took off his apron, and took off his hat.
"Uncle, why did you come up with the idea of opening a hotel?" I asked.
"Zhou Ran, we are new to the city, we are not familiar with the place, we have to have something to do to support our family! When I left, you gave me a lot of money, but I thought that I could not sit back and eat. I happened to see this hotel redeeming, so I cashed it down. There were two cooks, and the other had something at home and took a few days off. I had no choice but to go into battle myself. Uncle drank wine and said with a smile.
"But Xiaoyu is only a teenager, so she should be studying! Aren't you delaying her studies like this?" I asked.
"You ask her, how many times I beat her up for her study, and she can't do anything if she doesn't listen! Zhou Ran, you take care of your grandfather, I am actually very grateful to you. There is only one thing that I have never been embarrassed to tell you, and now that the medical book has been lost, it doesn't hurt to say it. Why do you say you're running such a big company? It's not to make more money. Going deeper, it is for the benefit of the people. But you really didn't. ”
My uncle looked a little depressed, and I didn't know what he wanted to say to me.
"Zhou Ran, if you really have plans to work for the benefit of the people. You shouldn't have promised to give your medical book to someone else in the first place. You produce traditional Chinese medicine according to the peerless secret recipes in medical books, is it different to benefit the people? Qingshui Village was adjacent to the primeval forest at that time, and there were many precious Chinese medicinal materials in it. You can even develop a Chinese herbal medicine planting base to make a one-stop production chain. Isn't it for the benefit of the common people to sell those who are sick but can't afford to see them?"
I really didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous uncle would say such a profound truth. My grandfather was almost always treating patients for free, but how many patients could he treat on his own?
"It's too late to say anything now, the books are gone. Drink a bar!" Uncle sighed, and then raised his glass. Zhou Haitao touched a few glasses with his uncle. I really want to tell my uncle that the medical book is still there. But thinking of the big daddy's advice, I still couldn't help but say it.
"Uncle, now I can't regret it. My grandfather is getting older, and I don't want him to work hard to write medical books. I followed my uncle's words.
"Zhou Ran, that's what I mean. Grandpa listened to you the most, and while his old man was still very tough, he wrote out the medical book silently. Not to mention to the people, it is also a contribution to the country. ”
Uncle is like an endorsement, which makes me have to suspect that he has other plans. He must have wanted to get a medical book and make a profit from it.
I hummed and prevaricated, and then continued drinking.
"Zhou Ran, what is the matter with you, you won't come from nearly a thousand kilometers away for no reason!"
"Uncle, do you know a backer? I found a girl named Nie Xiaocui, who had worked in my hotel before. "I told my uncle directly the purpose of this trip.
"Supporter, of course I know it. The manor where your father let me live is near Gushantun. Nie Xiaocui, this name is so familiar!" the uncle scratched his head, a little confused.
"Dad, are you really confused. Nie Xiaocui is Nie Xiaogang's sister! She came here a month ago! She said she wanted to be a waitress here, but then for some reason, she didn't come. Zhang Xiaoyu added on the side. It turned out that when Xiao Lizi sent Xiaocui back more than a month ago, he only sent Xiaocui to the county seat. He only knew the name of a village backed by a mountain, but he didn't know where it was.
The uncle here sighed and said as if he had suddenly realized.
"As soon as you say it, I really remember such a thing? It's just that this girl is very pitiful, after she comes home. But she is pregnant, you must know that in such a poor and remote country, getting pregnant before marriage is an insult to the ancestors. The parents of the Nie family didn't miss the hard work of their daughter to make money outside, but they scolded her for being shameless. Later, regardless of her simultaneous consent, she was married to an old bachelor in his fifties. A flower was stuck in cow dung. ”
Uncle's words can't help but make me worry about Xiao Cui. It looks like she's really a hard-working girl.
"Zhou Ran, you just came at the right time, her family is preparing tonight, and tomorrow Ning Xiaocui will officially become the daughter-in-law of the old bachelor. So I've always taught my children that it doesn't matter if they read or not. The important thing is to protect yourself and not be easily deceived. ”
The uncle glanced back at Zhang Xiaoyu, but Zhang Xiaoyu glared at the uncle instead.
"I'm not as stupid as her, I said earlier, I will only marry my cousin when I grow up. Zhang Xiaoyu said willfully.
"Xiaoyu, you haven't even finished junior high school like this, why should I marry you. Unless you are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future. Otherwise, if you want to marry me, don't talk about it. I looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with a smile and directly blocked her retreat.
"That's what you said, don't regret it when I get in. Dad, you have to testify for me. Zhang Xiaoyu puffed up his chest and said seriously.
"I testify. The uncle replied.
"I'll also testify for you, how about it?" Zhou Haitao also smiled.
After dinner, it was late. The uncle proposed to either stay in the county seat for one night first. Although the conditions are not as good as those of Rongcheng, at least they are not frozen.
I thought about it, so I stayed with Zhou Haitao and Xiao Lizi. After that, the three of them walked out of the restaurant together to find a place to stay.
Not far from my uncle's hotel, there is a nice guesthouse. Zhou Haitao obviously drank a little too much wine, and walked a little swaying. There was a person who didn't walk long and had long eyes, and he collided heavily with Zhou Haitao.
"Damn, you're looking for death! Walk without looking at the road......" the man cried out. Xiao Lizi threw a punch, and the man lay on the ground on all fours......
