Tang Wan said this, it wouldn't be good if I said anything more, so I had to agree, get up and wash up and go downstairs.

When she got downstairs, Tang Wan's car was already parked on the street.

"Did you have something to do in the morning?" After getting into the car, Tang Wan didn't start the car immediately and asked me.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I might have to invite a friend to dinner later. I said.

"Hmm. Tang Wan answered, started the car, and drove for a while, "It's not appropriate for me to follow you?"

"It's okay, just eat together later, let her come by herself. "Although the steamed vegetables are cheap, they taste good, and I think Liu Shuang should like it.

Tang Wan didn't say anything more, the car drove to high school, the two of us got out of the car, and when we arrived at Li Mingzhou's steamed restaurant, he was still busy working, still the same as when I came that day, I didn't steam many dishes, just got some steamed vegetables for a few old customers.

"Bringing your girlfriend with you this time?" Seeing me and Tang Wan, Li Mingzhou smiled.

"We're just friends, and this time we want to take over your steamed restaurant, and she is also one of the funders. "Tang Wan is here, I have to explain.

"Hehe, from high school to now, the relationship of more than ten years is really enviable. Li Mingzhou didn't know if he listened to my explanation, "If you want to eat something, order it yourself, don't be polite, take over the matter quickly, or it won't be long before I go to the printing shop below to print three copies of the contract and sign it." ”

Tang Wan and I have indeed known each other for ten years.

If it is a husband and wife, the seven-year itch has also passed for three years.

Looking at the numbers alone, it is a long period of time, how many decades can there be in life? But in the middle of it, ten years is just like that, as if it was just yesterday.

Some things, when I think about them carefully, are still impressive, as if they have not been covered by the dust of the years.

I told Li Mingzhou that there might be someone coming over later, and asked him to steam two more dishes.

"Wait a minute, I'll go down and print the contract, and I'll come up right away. After finishing the steamed vegetables, Li Mingzhou left the store.

Ten minutes later, Li Mingzhou came up and took three contracts in his hand, very simple, just three pieces of paper, on which were written the transferor, the receiver, and the situation of the steamed restaurant.

Sign it, press the fingerprint, and the contract is settled.

I transferred the money to Li Mingzhou through WeChat and Alipay, and the rest of the procedures are simple, and you can make a few more trips, and this steamed restaurant has nominally been under the names of me and Tang Wan.

I became the boss.

The moment I pressed my handprint, I felt an unspeakable feeling in my heart, which offset the sharp drop in the amount in my account.

"Congratulations, I hope you can bring the steamed restaurant back to life. Li Mingzhou shook hands with me.

"Can you stay? I'll pay you. "I don't know how to steam myself, and there's a shortage of a chef in the store.

"I also want to stay, but not for the time being, I want to go back and spend time with my parents, they are both old and have worked hard for half their lives, I want to take them out for a walk. Li Mingzhou said.

I can't stop Li Mingzhou from doing his filial piety, and the chef's affairs can only be found in another way.

The phone rang, and Liu Shuang sent me a message, just three words: Okay.

I knew that this was her code word, so I immediately called her, the call was answered in seconds, and before I could speak, Liu Shuang spoke: "You want to find me for dinner?"

On the other side of the phone, there was someone else's voice, and as soon as I heard it, I understood what was going on, and immediately answered: "Teacher Liu, you have to come to this dinner this time, you have shirked it several times, and if you don't come to the leader, you will be blamed." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll come. Liu Shuang replied helplessly, the mobile phone seemed to be farther away, talking to the people around her, "I'm sorry, I really have something, ...... down"

The latter words are not very clear, only the sound of the whirring wind.

The phone didn't hang up, and after half a minute, Liu Shuang's voice rang again: "Say, where can you invite me to dinner?"

I reported the location of the steamed restaurant.

More than 20 minutes later, Liu Shuang called me and asked me to pick her up: "Where is the place you said, why can't I find it?"

Her words made my heart drop a little more.

I have described it very carefully to Liu Shuang, but she still hasn't found the location of the steaming restaurant, this place is really too remote.

When I went downstairs, I saw Liu Shuang, who was holding his mobile phone and kept looking: "The location is marked with you, and the text is also matched, so you haven't found it, how can you be a teacher, you won't teach children to be more and more stupid, right?"

"The place where you invited me to eat won't be hidden in the alley, right?" Liu Shuang was very suspicious of the place where I invited her to dinner, "I did you so much favor, I was reprimanded by the principal, and I was complained by my parents, you didn't plan to send me away just because you wanted to invite me to a snack, right?"

"Not a snack. "I'm sure.

"That's fine. Liu Shuang was relieved and followed me.

After walking inside, Liu Shuang guessed again: "It's so deep, it must be a very charming restaurant, your sincerity is good." ”

"It's just a steamed restaurant. I confessed, "But don't worry, it tastes absolutely good, this steamed restaurant has been open for more than ten years, and I would often eat at this steamed restaurant in high school." ”

"It's really that delicious?" Liu Shuang didn't believe it, "You didn't invite me here to eat just to save money, right?"

"If you don't think it's tasty, I'll treat you to dinner next time. I said, "And I also cover for you and help you get rid of the blind date dinner." ”

"How do you know?" Liu Shuang looked at me, a little sensitive.

"You have such a loud voice, you fled so hastily, my ears are not deaf, my brain is not stupid, how can I not guess?" I said with a smile, looking up, "Here you are, just ahead, I have a friend in it." ”

Entering the store, Li Mingzhou glanced at Liu Shuang, and then looked at me with admiration.

"Sit down. "I pulled a chair for Liu Shuang.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Liu Shuang sat down with a big grin and smiled apologetically at Tang Wan, "It won't disturb your date, right?"

"It's okay, we're not dating. Tang Wan smiled lightly, and then looked at me, "Don't you want to introduce me?"

Both women asked me to introduce each other.

They could have asked themselves, I just planned to have a meal, Tang Wan and Liu Shuang shouldn't have a lot of intersections, I don't think there is any need to introduce them.

But now, looking at the meaning of the two, it seems that I have to introduce: "Tang Wan, high school classmates, Liu Shuang, Chen Ke, my daughter's teacher." ”

"Hello. Liu Shuang took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook Tang Wan, "You are so beautiful, I didn't expect Chen Jin to have such a beautiful high school classmate." ”

I was a little speechless, my level in Liu Shuang's heart seemed to be very low.

"You're beautiful too. Tang Wan said with a smile.

The steamed vegetables came up, the tea was also put on the table, I called Li Mingzhou to eat together, he ran to the side with a smile, hiding far away, for fear of disturbing the three of us.

"If you don't have any gentlemanly demeanor, don't you know how to pour a glass of water for the lady?" Liu Shuang despised me.

"You won't do it yourself?" Having said that, I still picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Liu Shuang and Tang Wan.

"I don't know how a person like you can know such a beautiful beauty, you must not fall for Chen Jin, he has a daughter. Liu Shuang spoke without scruples.

I smiled bitterly: "She already knew, you don't need to be reminded, you are a teacher, you actually did this kind of complaint, don't you think you lack morality?"

"If I watch a beautiful woman fall into a pit, that's a lack of morality. Liu Shuang took a bite of steamed vegetables, "Well, it tastes really good." ”

"I didn't lie to you, did I? I have eaten this steamed vegetable for three years in high school, and I have never gotten tired of it, and it must taste very good. The mouth of the cannibal is short, you stop talking nonsense. "Liu Shuang's personality is really like her name.

"I'm stating the facts. Liu Shuang said.

I was speechless and could only bow my head and eat the vegetables.

Tang Wan didn't speak, occasionally looked up at me and Liu Shuang, and there was a trace of envy and remembrance between her eyebrows, but I don't know if I was wrong.

When I was about to finish eating, Li Mingzhou came over and gave me the key to the store: "I won't come tomorrow, and I don't plan to move the tables and chairs. ”

"Thank you. "The things in the store are also worth thousands of yuan, and Li Mingzhou left it to me, whether it is used or not, it is all a favor.

"This book also gives you some common steaming recipes on it. Li Mingzhou gave me a book, "I haven't actually gone to learn to cook seriously, I have slowly figured it out, and if I do more, practice will naturally make perfect, steamed dishes are much simpler than ordinary dishes, and it is easy to get started." ”

After taking Li Mingzhou's book, I left, leaving Li Mingzhou alone in the store to sit on a stool, looking at the empty steamed restaurant in a daze.

Ten years, for Li Mingzhou, here is a part of his life.
