"How do you make it private?"

Lai Hao looked at the old man regretfully, not quite understanding what the other party meant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Just come to my house and help cook a meal." The old man said.

"Cooking?" Lai Hao was very upright: "I can only cook noodles." ”

"Yes, you just need to cook the noodles." The old man in Tang costume said.

Lai Hao: "Can't you come directly to my store to eat noodles?" ”

"I have two old friends who are coming to see me in a few days, and they are not in a position to show up, and I plan to entertain them at home. I hope that you will come and show your hand, so that my old friends can feast on it. "The old man has always been tepid.

Lai Hao has increased his vigilance, it is inconvenient to show his head, is he a wanted criminal who has been at large for 30 years?

The old man seemed to be able to see through Lai Hao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Little master, don't worry, my two old friends have special identities. In today's terms, it's a celebrity, and it's inconvenient to come to your store. They have a very good taste, and they have basically tasted all the domestic food, but they have never tried your characteristic noodles, and I hope that the little master will complete it. ”

Lai Hao didn't speak, looking down at his phone.

"Trigger the Adventure Quest: The Old Man's Wish. The first part of the mission - the reunion of old friends, the mysterious old man reunites with his old friends after many years, and urgently needs special food to satisfy his old friend's tricky appetite. Please perform the small noodle mastery to complete the wish of the elderly, and this ring task rewards 50 points of positive energy. ”

So much at 50 points?

Lai Hao didn't hesitate on the spot: "Okay, when will you go to your house?" ”

The old man looked happy: "Summer solstice." ”

"Summer solstice?" Lai Hao lacks understanding of the lunar calendar.

"June 21st." The old man explained, adding, "Come over at night." ”

Lai Hao: "Not at night, I have to be busy with other things at eight o'clock every night." ”

"Can't you change the time?" Seeing Lai Hao's resolute attitude, the old man made a concession: "It won't take long to cook noodles, I will prepare the ingredients in advance, you come over at half past six in the evening and leave at half past seven, how about it?" ”

"Okay."

"Little master, leave a phone number, and I'll call someone to pick you up when the time comes."

Lai Hao gave the contact information and watched the old man leave.

Turning to look at Su Yuyan, who was in high spirits behind the cash register, Lai Hao asked, "Boss, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little sleepy." Hot Mom said.

"Did I scare you last night?" Lai Hao was apologetic.

"You think too much, it's my own insomnia, I'm sick."

Listening to the hot mom say this, Lai Hao stopped talking nonsense, and always felt that Su Yuyan was not in the right state in the past two days.

There were customers coming in again, and the chef didn't have time to think about it, so he started to get busy.

Today's business has increased compared to yesterday.

At 12 noon, exactly 300 bowls of noodles were sold.

From 12 o'clock to 13:30 o'clock, there is also a lunch rush hour.

Based on past experience, by half past one in the afternoon, more than 400 bowls should be sold.

The business was so hot, Su Yuyan couldn't be happy, and sent a WeChat message at 12 o'clock: "Xiaomeng, get out of school at noon, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xiaomeng replied quickly.

Su Yuyan's expression was a little struggling, she hesitated for a few minutes, and typed: "The eldest sister has something important and wants to talk to you." ”

"What's wrong?" Little Sprout made a nervous expression.

Su Yuyan made up her mind and typed quickly: "Does your brother often have nightmares?" ”

This time, it was Xiaomeng's turn to hesitate for a few minutes, and sent a message: "Sister Yan, what did you find?" ”

"It's easy for me to wake up when I hear a little movement at night, and in the last three days, I heard your brother yelling in the middle of the night......" Su Yuyan typed this text and continued to type: "The situation was more serious last night, he screamed so badly, it sounded heartbreaking, and it scared me." I knocked on his door and saw him sweating profusely and his face was frighteningly white. ”

"That's what my brother is." Xiao Meng had a sad expression: "Sister Yan, I'm sorry to scare you." ”

"What the hell happened to him?" Su Yuyan asked, this question has been bothering her for three days.

"I can't say."

"Xiaomeng, the eldest sister has never treated you as an outsider. I will help you keep it secret, this matter is related to your brother's health, he refuses to say, the eldest sister can only look for you. Su Yuyan typed worriedly: "Your brother is a stuffy gourd, he is stuffy about everything, his symptoms can be big or small, and if it drags on, there may be big problems." ”

Xiao Meng was obviously nervous: "Sister Yan, don't scare me." ”

"I didn't scare you, I have encountered this situation of him." Su Yuyan was cross-hearted and told a secret: "The eldest sister doesn't hide it from you, the little father died in an accident three years ago, and during that time I had nightmares all night, nervous breakdown, and I couldn't lift my spirits by doing anything." Later, a friend introduced a psychiatrist, and it took me half a year to recover. ”

"Sister Yan, I can say it, but don't tell my brother, I'm afraid he will be angry." Seeing Su Yuyan tell the family's secret so sincerely, Xiaomeng was shaken.

"Don't worry, the eldest sister quietly sent you WeChat, just afraid that your brother would know."

"My brother...... It's pretty much the same as you. Xiaomeng's typing hand was trembling: "Two years ago, my father was in a car accident, and the police called the immediate family to claim the body, I cried and fainted, and it was my brother who went to claim it." ”

Su Yuyan: "What happened later? ”

Xiaomeng: "My brother refused to tell me what happened, and he didn't let me see my father's face when he was buried." Later, when I listened to someone chatting at the funeral, I realized that my father's body was knocked out of shape......"

Smack.

Su Yuyan's mobile phone fell to the ground, she quickly bent down to pick it up, and raised her eyes to look at the busy teenager in the kitchen.

She couldn't imagine how much this teenager had to endure silently behind his back.

Two years ago, he was sixteen years old.

"I still don't know what happened to my dad when he was hit, but my brother must remember it very well. I lived with him during the winter and summer vacations in the past two years, and I found him having nightmares many times. Others say that my brother pretends to be cool and doesn't wake up all day, but I know that my brother has been working night shifts and having nightmares in the past two years, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep. Xiaomeng said.

"Didn't he go to the hospital?" Su Yuyan typed in disbelief, even a married woman like her was regained by receiving psychological counseling, it was really hard to imagine how Lai Hao, who was a minor at the time, survived.

"I have persuaded him many times, but my brother is reluctant to spend money. It's all my fault, and all the money my brother makes is spent on me. My brother never let others see his fragile appearance, he didn't want me to be sad, he always tried his best to make me happy, and encouraged me to face life with a smile...... Sister Yan, I'm really useless, I can't help him with anything. ”

"Silly girl, don't say that, it's not your fault." Su Yuyan was worried that Xiaomeng was depressed and didn't have the heart to go to class, so she typed: "It's not clear in WeChat, so let's do it, you come over on Sunday, and the eldest sister will accompany you to talk well." ”

Ending this secret chat, Su Yuyan fell into deep thought.

According to her speculation, Lai Hao's symptoms are not just because of his father.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night last night, she heard a knock on the door, and it took a long time for Lai Hao to open the door.

Before he opened the door, she heard the heart-rending cry of the young man in her dream: Mom.
