There was a crowd of people in the night market, and Zhong Liye hugged Xia Xiaoxiao's shoulders tightly, for fear that he would lose her by accident. They went to a small noodle shop, and Zhong Liye glanced at the name on the plaque, which read "Happiness No. 99".

Because it was past the meal time, there were not many people in the restaurant, they chose a window seat, Xia Xiaoxiao asked Zhong Liye to sit on the chair, and then said, "You wait for me here, I'll order." ”

Zhong Liye immediately stood up, but Xia Xiaoxiao immediately pressed his shoulder and pressed him on the chair: "I'm going!" Today I have a treat, and the next time you invite me, I will have a big meal. ”

Zhong Liye nodded, and she immediately laughed.

After ordering, Xia Xiaoxiao sat opposite Zhong Liye: "Ah Ye, I ordered a bowl of beef noodles." ”

Zhong Liye nodded.

Xia Xiaoxiao: "I eat a quarter, you have to eat three-quarters." ”

Zhong Liye immediately frowned slightly.

Xia Xiaoxiao smiled suddenly, and then reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his eyebrows: "It's almost ten o'clock, I can't eat more!" Otherwise, you will be beaten. ”

Zhong Liye shook his eyelashes, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

The steaming beef noodles soon came up, with a few slices of beautifully cut beef floating on it, and some fresh green coriander, Zhong Liye looked at the bowl of noodles, no wonder she only needed a bowl, because this bowl was really big, they were eating the same bowl of noodles head to head, he fed her a mouthful of noodles, she stuffed him with a mouthful of meat, he wiped her mouth, she smirked at him.

In the heat, there is an indescribable romance and tenderness.

At this time, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Do you know why this store is called Happiness 99?" ”

Zhong Liye shook his head.

Xia Xiaoxiao sighed softly: "My dad said that this shop is a husband-and-wife shop, because the relationship between husband and wife is very good, so it is named "Happy Noodle Restaurant", the husband makes noodles every day, and the wife sells noodles every day, and the business is very good. ”

"One day, the wife said to her husband that she hoped to make this store a chain store in her lifetime, open it to other cities and provinces, open it all over the country, and open 100 branches, because '100' represents perfection, and if you open 100 branches, the happy noodle restaurant will be complete, and their life will be complete."

"So they worked very hard, very hard, and they were determined to open a hundred stores."

"But ten years ago, my wife was diagnosed with liver cancer, and it was only two months from discovery to death."

"The husband was very sad, but in order to fulfill his wife's wish, he continued to work hard, and finally, his efforts paid off, and he had a second, third, and fourth branches, but when he reached the ninety-ninth store, he decided not to open it again."

Xia Xiaoxiao was silent for a few seconds: "Do you know why he didn't open it?" ”

Zhong Liye shook his head.

Xia Xiaoxiao sighed: "Because his wife has passed away, even if he opens a hundred stores, it will not be successful after all, so it's over here, a little sad, isn't it?" ”

Zhong Liye shook his eyelashes and nodded lightly.

They were silent for a while, and Xia Xiaoxiao whispered: "This story has touched me for a long, long, long time, I was thinking, if that wife is still alive now, then there must be a store called Happiness 100, but now there is only - Happiness 99." ”

The atmosphere was a little dull, and after a few seconds, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled: "But they will meet again one day, in a very beautiful place." ”

Zhong Liye looked at her and nodded again.
