Chapter Twenty-Six: Comrades-in-Arms Restaurant
"Once, I wanted to build a house for you with love, and the moment you open the window every day, you can see the sea of flowers and smell the fragrance of flowers!"
"Once, I wanted to spend my life to open up territory for you, surround you every day, open my eyes, and you can see my eyes full of love!"
"When, when I was weaving my dreams, I realized that I was so small that I couldn't even do anything, because I watched you go away and throw myself into his arms, and since then I have established a separate world with you!"
Zeng Lihua was immersed in a dream and couldn't extricate himself, the blurred face of the school sister appeared repeatedly in his dreams, he wanted to see it clearly, but he couldn't see her true face with all his might, as if her face had been blurred in the depths of his memory.
However, the unforgettable pain still made him breathless, and he only felt that the tears could not stop flowing, and the sadness flowed.
Boom! Boom! Knock knock!
An unfamiliar voice pulled Zeng Lihua out of the dream, he struggled to open his eyes, saw the familiar ceiling, and suddenly woke up, it was already a new day, the darkness just now, the sadness was in the dream.
He touched his face, but he felt wet tears, he was a little confused, after so much time, he could still cry in his dreams.
Knock knock! The knock on the door grew louder and louder, bringing Zeng Li's painting back to reality once again.
He quickly stood up, opened the door before he had time to put on his shoes, and saw Liu Shimeng's eyebrows frowning slightly, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and looking at Zeng Lihua, who was very angry when he got up, with a fierce look.
"Good morning! You're up early! Zeng Lihua scratched his hair in embarrassment.
Liu Shimeng glared and raised her slender wrist to show Zeng Lihua.
"Beauty, it's beauty, your hands are so good-looking!" Zeng Lihua looked dazed.
Liu Shimeng shook her wrist and pointed to her watch.
"Ahh It's half past eight! Oops, Brother Zhongshan opened today, it's a mistake, it's going to be a mistake! I'm sorry, Teacher Shimeng, I'm going to be busy for a while, please wait for me! Zeng Lihua finally sensed the seriousness of the matter, closed the door again, and isolated Liu Shimeng's beautiful face outside.
Liu Shimeng didn't say a word from beginning to end, just quietly busy in the kitchen, ignoring the gunsmoke outside.
After a gunsmoke, he finally appeared in front of Liu Shimeng perfectly, and of course he saw the breakfast that had been set.
"It's time to eat, Mr. Busy!" Liu Shimeng smiled slightly.
This is the second breakfast that Zeng Lihua has eaten at home, and each time it is richer and richer, this feeling makes him inexplicable, as if he really feels the taste of home.
"Sit down! Don't feel embarrassed! These are all you bought! I'm just in charge of getting them cooked! ”
"It's so delicious, thank you, Shimeng! I feel like I'm not renting a tenant, I'm hiring a foodie! I had a hearty supper yesterday, and I still have breakfast today, and I don't know what to say! ”
Zeng Lihua devoured porridge, swallowing all the choked throat and the acid in his eyes.
I've been lonely for a long time, I've been lonely for a long time, I've been in a hypocritical and busy life for a long time, and I really have an urge to cry for such a quiet and simple breakfast.
Maybe it's because of emotion, maybe it's because of grievances, losing a lover, working hard in a strange city away from his family, except for his colleagues, with his character, there may really be no one who can prepare breakfast and supper for him.
He watched Liu Shimeng swallow unhurriedly, and once again saw the plum blossoms at the beginning of the cold winter, there was no biting cold, but a healing warmth.
"Why are you looking at me with adoring eyes? Tell you, I'm a serious girl, but I'm not just a casual likable! Liu Shimeng half-jokingly.
Zeng Lihua almost choked.
"Girl, you're too narcissistic, aren't you? I'm still a serious boy! It's not just for others to like! I'm the owner, you're a tenant, and we're neighbors! Zeng Li's head quickly began to run from a dead machine.
"Haha! Looks like I can live in peace of mind! We can be good friends! Liu Shimeng smiled sweetly.
Liu Shimeng is not a fool or an idiot, she understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and she also knows her advantages.
She could see Zeng Lihua's eyes looking at her, and she also understood that he was a good person, but she also knew that her heart had already died, and she might never marry in her life, so she could only speak clearly for the sake of a clean life.
"I've got to hurry up, let's go order a basket of flowers in a moment!" Brother Zhongshan is newly opened, how can we have to cheer up! Add joy! Zeng Lihua said that he began to gobble up again.
"It's almost nine o'clock, is it too late? Shouldn't you be grateful to me again, I ordered six flower baskets, three for you and three for me, you see, they will be delivered directly to Brother Zhongshan Restaurant! So you don't have to rush! Enjoy your meal! Liu Shimeng said, took out his mobile phone and showed Zeng Li's painting.
"The teacher is worthy of being a teacher, so organized! I'm so grateful, I can't wait to kneel on one! Zeng Lihua raised his tone and said with a smirk.
"Forget it, save it! You can be responsible for wiping the floor of the bathroom for a week! Liu Shimeng smiled.
"Oh my God! Niangniang, you will spare the minister! Hygiene is not for me! I found that the house was clean again today! I must have been a great good person in my last life, and I was blessed to recruit a fairy in this life! Zeng Li glanced at the spotless room around the painting, and felt happy in his heart.
"Come less, sycophants don't make sense!"
When Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua got out of the car, they saw Zhongshan smiling happily and accompanying the two strange old men to look at the plaque.
At this time, several flower baskets have been placed in front of the door, which looks festive.
The name of Zhongshan Restaurant is very down-to-earth and solemn: Comrades-in-Arms Restaurant, which makes people have a special emotion when they see it.
The two strange old men were dressed simply and plainly, their faces were full of kindness, and they didn't know what they were talking about with Zhongshan.
Zeng Lihua saw the old people and knew that they must be the parents of the deceased soldier.
The age gap between his parents and them is not large, and when he looks at their gray hair, he suddenly thinks of his parents.
Zhongshan is an out-and-out righteous man, who can provide for the parents of his comrades-in-arms and send them to the end of his life, but he is far away from his hometown, how can he talk about the old age.
"Leave the painting! What happened to you! Liu Shimeng asked softly.
Zeng Lihua came back to his senses and smiled: "It's okay! I just feel warm! Let's go! ”
When Zhongshan saw Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng, his mouth was about to crack with a smile, and he walked over very enthusiastically.
"Leave the painting, Mr. Liu, you are here, welcome!"
"Brother Zhongshan, the new store opens, I wish you a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources!" Zeng Lihua said with a smile.
"Brother Zhongshan, the opening is good! Wishing you prosperity! Liu Shimeng smiled.
"You guys are really, just don't people come, and you also sent several flower baskets, more money!" Chungsan pointed to the beautiful flower basket at the door, his eyes full of smiles.
"Joy! What a name! It's infectious! Brother Zhongshan, will I be able to eat for nothing again in the future? "I once left the painting and bumped into Zhongshan.
"Of course you can, and Mr. Liu, welcome to come often! I will cook the best dish for you guys! Of course, you can go home! "Chungsan-do.
"Leave the painting, Mr. Liu, let me introduce you to you, these two are my parents!"
"Mom and Dad, this polite man is the Peking Opera master Zeng Lihua I often tell you, this beautiful girl is called Liu Shimeng! His girlfriend! Zhongshan said with a grin.
Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua glanced at each other, and then turned to the two honest old men in front of them.
"Good, such a handsome girl, the young man is born a pair of good wealth virgins!" The old mother kindly held Liu Shimeng's hand and smiled.
"Welcome, welcome, take care of Zhongshan in the future!" Old Dad is honest.
"Don't worry, we will often help Brother Zhongshan in the future!" Zeng Lihua was stable and was torn apart by Zhongshan just now.
"This kid has a kind heart and is kind, and the two of us can live well with him, and we have .................. to rely on" The old mother took Liu Shimeng's hand and pulled her into the restaurant, chatting with her aunt all the way, talking about Zhongshan.
The old father dragged Zeng Lihua and Zhongshan to the back kitchen to show off their excellent skills.
On a busy and fulfilling day, Zeng Li wanted to take Liu Shimeng to have a good meal, but his little greed failed.
Not only did he not have time to eat all day, but he also implicated Liu Shimeng as a waiter.
Zhongshan Restaurant has been open for trial a few days ago, and the word of mouth has been out, and it officially opened today, and it has also been discounted, so I thought it wouldn't be too busy.
The result always gives people unexpected surprises, almost full, and in desperation, Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng can only join the busy team.
It wasn't until the evening that the comrade-in-arms restaurant quieted down, and Zhongshan handed over the restaurant to Zeng Lihua and personally sent the tired and excited second elder home.
In the quiet restaurant, Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua performed their respective duties, occasionally looking at each other and smiling.
The busyness of the day forced them to quickly familiarize themselves with the business.
"Mr. Liu, I didn't expect you to be a painter, and you're quite powerful! The business is so skilled! At noon, I was really going to collapse, I was busier than singing! "Zeng Lihua put the painted dishes and plates.
Liu Shimeng stopped mopping the floor, looked at the night and said, "What's so difficult about this, I used to work part-time!" Of course familiar! ”
She instantly remembered the days when she worked and studied with Amuse, they also worked part-time in a restaurant, and Amusement used his part-time salary to buy delicious food for himself and pay for tuition, but such a touching and warm picture can only be in the depths of memory.
Zeng Lihua felt Liu Shimeng's inadvertent changes, looked at her back, and felt so sad, as if it was a lily that was about to wither in the night.
"Mr. Liu, are you okay? I feel like I'm saying something I shouldn't have said! Zeng Lihua walked out of the kitchen, took away Liu Shimeng's mop, and mopped the floor by himself.
"Nothing! It's just a reminder of some of the past! Liu Shimeng dodged and stood aside.
"The past is gone with the wind, the past is gone, I don't know your past, but I can feel your sadness, I hope you can live happily, in a new environment, meet new friends like me, everything is new! Begin! ”
