Chapter 33: Trouble (3)

Thinking that he had successfully helped Luo Dapeng solve the difficulties without much effort, Ren Xiaotian was very nervous in his heart. Hearing Quan Muwen say that there was still something to say, he waved his hand disapprerovingly and said, "Say it, Muwen." People who open restaurants are not afraid of having a big belly. No matter how many problems there are, you just move out. ”

"Don't talk big about it yet, this matter is not easier to handle than the Dapeng family at all." Quan Muwen said with a bitter smile.

Seeing Quan Muwen in such a shape, Ren Xiaotian knew that the other party was not joking with him, so he hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Say it quickly." No matter how difficult it is, we brothers will work together to do it. It's really not good, and there are old people to help us back up. ”

Ren Xiaotian is also confident when he speaks like this. The encounters in the past few months have made him clearly aware that the strength behind him should not be underestimated. Even Secretary Lu's statement yesterday is inseparable from the strength behind him.

Hearing Ren Xiaotian speak with such confidence, Quan Muwen's brows also stretched a lot. Hehe, it seems that with the appearance of Brother Tian, the burden on his shoulders is obviously much lighter. He didn't hesitate, and immediately introduced: "Brother Tian, Lu Xiaomei's father, mother and brother have also arrived in the city. ”

When Ren Xiaotian heard this, he was overjoyed. Yo, the magpie has come to the door! Happy events one after another. He immediately said happily: "Okay, this is a good show!" In front of him, Dapeng had a crush, and then Changsi's father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law came to the door. Hehe, section chief, I'm afraid you have to come on. ”

Quan Muwen was blushing when Ren Xiaotian said it, but when he thought of the difficult thing in front of him, he sank his face and said, "What's good?" Now it's trouble at the door. Changsi played a child's temper, saying that he would rather not marry a wife than agree to the Lu family's request. The little sister only knew how to cry, and called me early in the morning, saying that something had happened. ”

"What, what! What's going on? Hearing such news, Ren Xiaotian was also shocked. Zhao Changsi's brain can't withstand any stimulation. If something happens, it's a big problem.

It all started yesterday at noon.

At the checkout counter of the 'Flavor Restaurant', a girl in her early twenties was settling accounts with a smile on her face. She is Lu Xiaomei. At this time, it is almost time to close, as long as the accounts in front of you are settled, the noon business will be over.

Maybe it's the richness of material life, maybe it's the nourishment of love, and now Lu Xiaomei is no longer as haggard and shriveled as she just came. The round face is ruddy, the eyebrows are very dark, and the pretty eyes are always flashing with a straight, hot gaze. He always laughs before he speaks, and his words are also laughing, like singing. At a glance, you can see that she is an innocent and joyful girl.

Just then, several people walked in outside the door. Walking in front was an old man. The weather-beaten black and thin square face is full of black and white hawthorns. Wearing a torn blue cloth jacket with patches, he had a tall, thin body, his shoulder blades were up, and his back was slightly hunched. The relentless blowing of the sea breeze and the years made that face wrinkled and deep, like cracked earth.

Behind the old man was a young man who looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, or a little older than his actual age. He was pale, elongated, and had messy hair. Look at him standing there staggering, like a sick body.

Next to the young man was an old woman. On her thin forehead, wrinkles were knotted, revealing high cheekbones. On the thin ears, there are also a pair of dirty copper earrings. She was wearing a jacket with many patches, and the hand that came out of the sleeve was gray in color, and the bones and veins were exposed.

Is such a group of people also coming to the restaurant to eat? Although the hotel is a place where everyone can come and go freely, some customers still look disgusted. Not to mention anything else, it does affect other people's appetites a little.

The atmosphere in the hall quickly attracted Lu Xiaomei's attention. With a sweep of her eyes, she flew out of the counter like a happy little swallow.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, why are you here? Good, that's good. I'm still thinking about going home and seeing you. Lu Xiaomei clapped her hands, took the old woman's hand, and spun around in the hall. Maybe it was Lu Xiaomei's joy that infected such a family of three, and the original nervous and restrained look was obviously relaxed.

"Checkout, does anyone check out?" Someone was holding cash and banging on the table at the bar. Hearing the shout, Lu Xiaomei stretched out her small tongue, hurriedly dropped her mother's hand, and ran back to the bar to settle the account.

The old man, that is, Lu Xiaomei's father, didn't think it was angry, but looked curiously at the decoration of the hall and the identity of the customer. The restaurants in the city are just different from the countryside. In most cases, this one hall is bigger than a restaurant in the countryside. These guests were all dressed like people, and they all looked like decent people.

Xiaomei's mother has always been following her daughter's figure. Seeing his daughter's swift movements, and hearing his daughter's lark-like speech, the old man's eyes were a little confused.

The pungent fragrance made Lu Xiaomei's brother sniff again and again. It smells good, it smells good. The dishes on the table are all exuding an enticing aroma. Alas, it would be nice to give me a bite to eat.

"Dad, Mom, brother, come and sit in the house." Lu Xiaomei beckoned her family into a private room. Lu Xiaomei, who settled the accounts for customers, also realized that it was a little inappropriate for her family to stand in the center of the hall.

After living in the city for a long time, of course, the outfit of the Zhilu Taoist family will affect the appetite of customers. At this time, the business is already in full swing, and it is not difficult to vacate a private room.

As soon as they entered the box, the family of three immediately looked straight in the eyes. Wow, I was still in the hall just now, and it turned out that the decoration here was on a higher level. This is also due to the fact that the horizon is not wide. If they go to Wanghai Restaurant to take a look, they will definitely make their tongues not look back.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm going to get some dishes and get Dad a sip of wine. Brother, if you are not in good health, eat more food and don't drink. Obedient, ah! Lu Xiaomei was like a big sister, telling her brother.

"Little sister, it's better to keep it simple. The things in this city are expensive, so save some money. Xiaomei's mother felt sorry for her daughter's difficulty in making money, so she hurriedly instructed.

"Mom, I know." Lu Xiaomei threw the long discernment behind her head, and walked out of the hall in a hurry.

"Little sister, who's here?" Zhao Changsi, who had just helped in the kitchen for a while, saw Lu Xiaomei running without touching the ground, and asked with concern.

As soon as she heard that it was Zhao Changsi's question, Lu Xiaomei blushed and replied, "Brother Changsi, my father, mother, and my brother came to see me." ”

"That's good. Where, I went to toast them. When Zhao Changsi heard this, his face turned red, and he looked a little at a loss. I and my little sister have been approved by several old men. The only flaw is that I haven't talked to my little sister's parents yet. I wanted to go to my little sister's hometown for a long time, but because Ren Xiaotian has been very busy.

This kind of thing, without Brother Tian's help, it won't work. It was for this reason that it was delayed. Today, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law and my eldest brother came to the door together, isn't this God helping me. Therefore, when he heard the little sister talk about it, of course he was very excited.

Lu Xiaomei naturally knew Zhao Changsi's thoughts, and said with a blushing face: "Don't be busy, let me arrange the dishes first." When they start eating, it's not too late for you to go in and toast. ”

When Zhao Changsi heard it, it was also a truth. Hurriedly nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll go to the kitchen to arrange the dishes, and you go to the box to accompany our parents, saving the old people loneliness and restraint." ”

Hearing Zhao Changsi call his parents like this, Lu Xiaomei was also sweet in her heart. With a soft 'um' sound, the chief shook off and returned to the box.

After a while, several of the main dishes in the restaurant were served one by one. A bottle of Yanghe Daqu wine and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes were also brought by the waiter who served the dishes.

"Good wine, good wine." The old man first looked at the wine bottle, then sniffed the aroma in the wine glass with his nose, and praised it repeatedly.

Xiaomei's brother didn't speak at all, and directly picked up several pieces of braised meat with chopsticks and sent them to his mouth. The mouth was chewing quickly, and the chopsticks in his hand were already on the plate.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Brother, you eat slowly, there are good dishes in the back. When you eat fast, you won't be able to eat any more good dishes. Lu Xiaomei saw that her brother was eating too quickly, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

Xiaomei's mother didn't rush to move the chopsticks, but complained: "Xiaomei, you just don't obey." How much does this table cost? Don't serve the dishes in the back. Little sister, listening to my mother, it's not easy to make some money. ”

"Mom, it's okay, you can eat boldly. No matter how you eat today, you won't have to spend money on it. Lu Xiaomei heard that her mother thought about herself so much, and her heart was also warm. The thought of having a man who can bring hope to his family is full of a sense of happiness.

Xiaomei's mother didn't use chopsticks, but she was distressed that her daughter would have to spend a lot of money, so she would do this. I heard that my daughter didn't want to spend money on today's meal, so I joined the team. In the blink of an eye, the three major pots of vegetables that had just been delivered were all eaten.

Seeing the miserable shape on the table, Lu Xiaomei also felt heartache. What kind of life are the family living! It's probably just eating breakfast at home, and I've been hungry until now. Nominally, it's breakfast, but it's actually a big bowl of corn grits porridge that you can see at the bottom of the bowl. After a urination, it no longer exists.

"Uncle, aunt, eldest brother, I'm here to toast you." Zhao Changsi walked in with a wine glass. He estimated that Xiaomei's family had basically filled his belly, so he came in to toast. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. At this time, Zhao Changsi's face was full of red.
