Chapter 424: Persuasion
Lu Jiangzhou kicked his son at his feet, and before he could admit his mistake, Lu Haoyi lowered his head and said, "It's grandpa!" ”
"I understand what you're saying, and I'm not stupid. Just like the chef of this tea restaurant, my age is there! Since we opened a café here, this old neighborhood has known each other for decades. The food I cook is affordable and delicious, what will happen to the guests if I take a break? The old neighbors love to eat what I cook. Do you understand? Lu Zhongfu and Yourong said, "Although it is a small matter, to put it bluntly, he is a cook, but this is an affirmation." ”
"Grandpa, that's someone else's business!" Lu Haoyi said, "They don't feel sorry for you, we can feel sorry for you." ”
"Don't just think about my hard work, it's actually for my good!" Lu Zhongfu looked at them with gentle eyes.
"What's so good for you! I don't see it at all. Lu Jiangchuan pouted.
"Your mother is a worker, what can I let her do, like when she was young, to carry the burden and wash other people's clothes, what can she do?" Lu Zhongfu said with a dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with nothing?" Lu Jiangfan didn't give up and said, "You should have retired a long time ago, put the tea restaurant out and collect rent, or you shrink your business, and rest when you should rest on holidays, and the money you earn on weekdays is enough for you and your mother." Dad, don't you have a few shops on Hong Kong Island, and this money is enough for your second elder's expenses. Seeing that the two elders were in good health, he didn't want them to work hard, "Now it's asking for hardship!" ”
Lu Zhongfu looked at Lu Jiangfan who was talking eloquently, and the fire came out again, "Don't do anything, stupidly wait for this rent to be collected." People will become useless. Will you come and serve us to eat, drink, and urinate? The old man said angrily, "There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time." ”
"Dad. This is about to celebrate the New Year, how can you say that such unlucky words are so unlucky! You and your mom will be healthy. Lu Jiangzhou hurriedly said, and at the same time glanced at Lu Jiangfan.
"It's not been a year or two to open a tea restaurant, we have been doing it for almost half a lifetime, and your mother also likes to do things in a tea restaurant, chatting with the old neighbors in front of the cash register in her spare time, and life is also interesting!" Lu Zhongfu said unhurriedly.
"Yes! Oh, yes! That's good. Jiang Huifen echoed. Even during the peak period of the old man, the stove was handed over to the young people, and the neighbors were all old, and it was in the middle of the morning when they came to have morning tea. I won't stop you if you want to cook it yourself. ”
Lu Zhongfu glanced at her, this was clearly agreeing to the child's proposal in disguise!
"yes, Mom is so right." Lu Jiangdan echoed, "This tea restaurant can't make a lot of money now. It's not as much as the children's second brother earns. ”
"If it's because it's not making money. If you don't do it, you're sorry for the industry you've created in the past 30 years. Lu Zhongfu said slowly.
"Dad is right, that's right, if the tea restaurant is gone, many people will feel inconvenient. Besides, it's so gratifying to have a job you like to do! Lu Jiangzhou said with a smile.
The words fell and ushered in everyone's attention, big brother, where are you standing there.
Lu Zhongfu picked up the teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat and said, "The tea restaurant is our life for thirty years. It's also our world. ”
"The world?" Lu Haoshan muttered.
"Jiangchuan, your daughter's little head is little by little, hurry up and go to sleep!" Lu Zhongfu looked at the little guy in Lu Jiangchuan's arms and said.
"It's all gone!" Lu Zhongfu got up and said.
Lu Jiangfan looked at Jiang Huifen. Desperately squeezing his eyes, "Mom? ”
"What are you calling me for! Why don't you want me to coax you to sleep? Jiang Huifen also got up and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's go to bed quickly!" Ming'er still has to pack up, didn't we say that we were going to Canada? ”
"By the way, Mom, I bought you a new travel bag, it's in the car, I'll bring it to you later." Annie Chen said flatteringly.
"Really? That's great, I was about to say I don't have a bag for things. Jiang Huifen smiled and said, "It's still Haoshan's mother, thoughtful." ”
Everyone watched Lu Zhongfu enter the room and slam the door shut.
Jiang Huifen whispered, "Jiang Fan, don't be too anxious, I know your kindness, but your father is born with hard work and can't rest." After doing it for so many years, let him go all of a sudden, and it is normal to have this reaction from his standpoint. ”
"Mom, I just don't think you and Dad have to work so hard." Lu Jiangfan lowered his voice.
"Your dad doesn't think so, he'll feel like he's old and useless." Jiang Huifen patted his son's arm and said.
"Yes!" Lu Jiangfan pursed his lips and said helplessly, but he didn't expect a kind gesture to attract a scolding.
"You don't have to be in too much of a hurry, take your time." Jiang Huifen smiled, "My son is filial, I know. Your dad is an old man at heart, and he is still researching new dishes. If you make him lose the tea restaurant all of a sudden, you must feel uncomfortable. ”
"Yes!" What else can Lu Jiangfan do, forcibly deprive the old man of his right to work, it is estimated that this feather duster will get up.
"Alright, let's all disperse!" Jiang Huifen said, "Your dad has me there!" ”
"Good night, Mom and Dad......"
In the sound of good night, everyone went home.
"Luo'er, come with me, I have something to say." Lu Jiangdan stopped Gu Yaluo and said.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Gu Yaluo looked at her suspiciously.
"Let's go to the rooftop house." Lu Jiangdan said, looking at the concerned eyes of the two brothers Gu Zhanshuo, she continued, "Don't worry, it's just that our mother and daughter are talking about women." ”
"Oh, good night, mom." The twin brothers said.
Gu Yaluo and Lu Jiangdan went to the rooftop one after the other.

Jiang Huifen pushed open the door of her room, and looked at Lu Zhongfu leaning on the head of the bed, holding his hands on his chest, with a gloomy face, obviously this anger has not subsided!
"I'm still angry!" Jiang Huifen lifted the quilt and reached out to him on the bed, leaning in front of his face and smiling.
Lu Zhongfu turned his face away angrily, and said to himself, Jiang Huifen said to himself, "Old man, I don't care if you want to continue to me, I'm old, this old arm and legs, sore." Saying that, she also patted her arms and legs, "My son is filial and doesn't want us to work hard, you should be happy and happy, what are you angry about?" ”
"I feel that I have been disliked, and I have become an old man who eats idle food, and in a few years, this old immortal will be on my lips." Lu Zhongfu took a deep breath and sighed.
"I see that you are born to work hard, and you will not enjoy it if you are blessed." Jiang Huifen said angrily.
"Blessed? He's only made a few bucks! Blessed? Lu Zhongfu pursed his lips and said, "Hmph! No matter how much they earn, it is this tea restaurant that raises a few of them. ”
"Know, know, you have the most credit." Jiang Huifen followed his temper and said, "It's really hard work!" ”
"Old woman, you have to be an old man who eats idle food!" Lu Zhongfu glanced at her with a tlister's eyelids and said.
"Hmmm! I can't rest! In the first half of my life, I didn't have enough to eat, I couldn't wear warm clothes, and I was displaced, and in the second half of my life, like an old cow, I worked hard, I was old, I was old, I wanted to rest. Jiang Huifen said willfully.
"Don't think about it! You give me an honest seat at the cash register. Lu Zhongfu gritted his teeth and said, dare to betray me, hum!
Jiang Huifen shook her head and laughed when she heard this, "Are you really?" Tsk......" She suddenly wanted to pat his arm and said, "I said old man, you said that this Jiang Fan is fine, how can you bring up this topic." ”
Lu Zhongfu's fingers gently twisted the quilt, and said angrily, "How do I know?" Go back and ask him. Then he turned off the light on the bedside table and ordered, "Sleep!" ”
&*&
"Wife, am I really wrong to say this?" Lu Jiangfan sat on the bed, holding his chin with his hand and said bitterly.
Chen Annie, who was sitting in front of the dresser and was taking care of her skin, paused and said, "Husband...... Actually? ”
"Oh, I'm dying, you dare to say it?" Lu Jiangfan put down his hand and urged.
Chen Annie thought for a while and said, "Husband, you haven't seen your dad cooking, your face is very confident, and the smile on her face is deeper when you watch the diners finish eating." She continued, "So you suddenly make such a request, Dad must not like this?" His body is still very healthy, and he didn't listen to him say that it hurts, where it itches. ”
"That's the credit of Luo'er massaging Dad, after all, age is there!" Lu Jiangfan said irritably.
"His dad, don't put the old words in front of our dad, he doesn't like to hear it, when you mention this stubble today, you see that our dad is angry and sad." Annie Chen walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
Lu Jiangfan defended himself, "I didn't mean to let Dad don't care about anything, just let him move his mouth!" I mean, liberated from the heavy work of the kitchen! ”
"But you didn't mean that at first, let Dad retire completely, and even put the tea restaurant out and work as a charter man at home." Chen Annie said lightly.
"I didn't mean that!" Lu Jiangfan's confidence is obviously insignificant, "I just want my father to be happy, the old man is over sixty years old, why are you unhappy and angry." It's just that I said this because I saw how hard my dad used to be. You don't know, Dad got up early and greedy late in order to raise us, it's really rain or shine. ”
The Lu family started by relying on roadside stalls and food stalls, Lu Jiangfan knew how tired he was, and when the business was at its most prosperous, he also helped wash the dishes and brush the dishes.
He saw his father stay up to now, and it was false to say that he was not distressed. I didn't have the ability before, so I could only do what I could. Now that I have the ability, of course, I hope that the old man will enjoy Qingfu.
"That's what you think, you think of him as a kind of hard work, maybe you used to think so. But now it's fun, and after watching the diners eat cleanly, they smile with satisfaction. Dad is happy! That's why you've been doing it until now, have you ever heard your dad complain? Chen Annie whispered, "Actually, Dad knows your intentions, but for a long time, if you let a person who is wholeheartedly doing things, and suddenly tell her not to do it all, it will be like doing things desperately in the company, but the mood of being fired is the same." If you are not allowed to touch the stock now, and you are at home, how do you feel in your heart? (To be continued......)
