Chapter 57: Lin Mu returns
Early morning breakfast bars tend to be very busy and noisy. It's winter now, and the opening time of the breakfast shop has been slightly fine-tuned.
Actually, there are no major changes, but the time has been delayed a little.
This small change is not a change at all for those who have an extremely regular schedule and life, because their habits have already been deeply rooted in their hearts and will not be easily affected by the season or weather, and such habits are difficult to change.
For example, Uncle Bai and Zheng Gui, the two of them are such examples.
Uncle Bai's self-discipline is known to everyone in the entire old street, as for Zheng Gui, he is the owner of the breakfast shop, and he has to get up very early every morning to prepare for the opening of the breakfast shop today.
Morning is the busiest time for the breakfast shop, and Zheng Gui, as the owner of the shop, is forced to get up early to prepare the morning food. In this way, he persevered in the alternation of spring and autumn, summer and winter.
Perhaps, in the beginning, he thought about giving up, but now, he has grown with this store. From the very beginning of coming to this strange place, now I have a good chat with the neighbors in the old street. From the ignorance of this store when it just opened, to the current fame and mutual recommendation.
Perhaps, silently insisting, just in exchange for everyone's support and satisfaction.
We grow up in this way, not caring about the road under our feet, but focusing more on a better life in the future.
Zheng Gui crossed his waist and wore a tall white chef's hat on his head that he bought a few days ago.
It's not expensive, it's a second-hand product, Zheng Gui saw it at a stall when he was shopping for vegetables a few days ago, it feels good, and he is a little chef anyway, besides, although it is a small private restaurant like a breakfast shop, this health problem is also a major concern for all ordinary people.
As for the taste of the food......
Zheng Gui can pat his chest and guarantee that the proprietress is good and has nothing to say, and he can sometimes learn to make some food, although it is not particularly delicious, but he can barely take out the noodles.
Because it was still early, there were not many diners in the restaurant, and it was still dark outside, only the east side was still slightly bright. There are only two in the breakfast shop, Uncle Bai and Zheng Gui, because Zheng Gui has just gotten up not long ago, and now only porridge is made in the breakfast shop, and Uncle Bai is still tasting it slowly as before.
Old people, don't be in such a hurry to do things, sometimes, a little slower can also find a lot of surprises.
The door of the store was open, because Zheng Gui had to go out from time to time to do something.
The wind was blowing from the outside to the store, Uncle Bai was not very cold, he was wearing a dark brown coat today.
He looked up at the outside of the store, the sky was already starting to light up, and after a while, he should come over by himself when he woke up.
Hehe, I don't know how to get it these days, Uncle Bai can't wake it up in the morning, and the weather has been very bad these days, the sky is either gloomy or rainy.
But it's no wonder that I heard that the cold air has been moving south in the past few days, and it has cooled down a lot in the past few days, in fact, not only hehe, but even humans are difficult to leave their beds.
It's cold outside, and the quilt is warm, which is obviously a choice made by children!
In addition, a few days ago, Uncle Bai specially added a few torn clothes to Hehe's nest and put them in Hehe's nest, and when it sleeps at night, Uncle Bai will remember and secretly cover Hehe, so that it is very warm when it sleeps at night, so it is understandable that it can't get up in the morning.
Uncle Bai? His habit is really hard to change, it's been decades, and it's not like he can change it.
When Uncle Bai ate the bowl of porridge in front of him, several customers came to the store one after another. They are all those who usually come early, although it is cold, but coming early has become a small subconscious in their brains.
Uncle Bai raised his head, met their eyes, and nodded slightly, indicating that he would say hello to them.
They also gave a smile in return, and some of them chatted with Uncle Bai, who was basically a neighbor who lived on this old street and was very familiar with Uncle Bai.
The old man eats slowly, and Uncle Bai's appetite is much larger than that of ordinary old people, so some of the diners who came to the breakfast restaurant later have left, and Uncle Bai has just finished eating the previous bowl of porridge.
Of course, later Zheng Gui brought him a new bowl, plus some fried buns or something.
Uncle Bai eats too slowly, if he eats slowly like him, this meal will probably be cold by the time he finishes eating.
What's more, this day has cooled down a lot, not the usual cold, this food should not be placed in such an environment for too long, and it will soon be cold.
Zheng Gui and Uncle Bai haven't known each other for a day or two, and there is still such a tacit understanding.
Later, the breakfast shop finally returned to its old scene.
Diners came and went, everyone crossed the threshold of the breakfast restaurant with different steps, and at the same time, some diners ended their breakfast time and raised their steps again to step out of the threshold of the breakfast restaurant. Facing the morning sun, we started a new beginning today.
Of course, it was cloudy and the sun wasn't so bright, but it was nice to stretch out at the door.
"Eh, whose dog is that at the corner of the street, and just threw it there?"
Zheng Gui was busy working in the store, and he couldn't chat with Uncle Bai all the time, and the proprietress was also up, so Zheng Gui couldn't be lazy.
Uncle Bai is lonely when he eats alone, Lin Mu and Xiaobai went out, and they still don't know when they will be able to come back - Uncle Bai he can't make a call, he can only answer the phone. And Uncle Bai didn't think about it so much, so he didn't leave his number when Lin Mu didn't leave before, and he didn't have his number if he wanted to find someone else to call him.
So Uncle Bai looked around during the meal, wanting to interject something from others.
So, Uncle Bai's ears moved, and he heard the person at the table next to him say a strange topic.
You have to seize this opportunity, otherwise you are eating loneliness here.
"What dog?"
The man sat behind him, and Uncle Bai could talk to him as soon as he turned around.
"Yes, Uncle Bai," the man turned around and replied to Uncle Bai's question just now, "When we passed the street this morning, there was a big dog lying there, motionless, probably ......"
Someone next to him was talking to the man, and he quickly turned around to talk to the man, leaving only Uncle Bai alone there.
Lin Mu, when will you come back?
Uncle Bai gently tapped the table in front of him with the head of his chopsticks, making a "tuk-tuk" sound, which seemed lonely and expressed his inner loneliness.
"Uncle Bai, it's early!"
Uncle Bai became more and more sleepy the more he knocked, and just when his eyelids were almost closed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded at the door of the breakfast shop. Before he could turn around, Uncle Bai only felt a small figure rushing towards him.
"Grandpa, I miss you so much!"
This is, Xiaobai!
This sudden happiness suddenly made Uncle Bai not accept it...... was so excited that he couldn't say a word, so he had to hug Xiaobai tightly, muttering "uh-huh" in his mouth.
Zheng Gui also came over quickly, he and the proprietress saw Lin Mu and them, Zheng Gui specially asked the proprietress for advice, although it was just a blink, but with their tacit understanding for many years, Zheng Gui believed that she understood what she meant.
Sure enough, the proprietress didn't say anything, she nodded lightly at Zheng Gui, but the movements of her hands did not stop, and there were still many customers in the store.
Uncle Bai had already come to his senses and anxiously asked Xiaobai a lot of things. In fact, the main thing is how they have eaten these days? How did you sleep? And what else did you do?
Lin Mu was embarrassed on the side, obviously relieved to hand over Xiaobai to himself, but in the end, he still didn't worry about himself......
Uncle Bai said that it was really impossible to rest assured, after all, this was his own grandson. Since he was a child, he has been living with his parents in other places, and rarely comes back, before they would occasionally come back a few times during the New Year, but then the son often used the excuse of being busy with work, and Zheng Guilai invited Uncle Bai to come together during the New Year.
Zheng Gui and the others did not return to their hometown.
Where is their hometown? Uncle Bai didn't know either, Zheng Gui had never said this to him, and Uncle Bai really didn't know much about Zheng Gui and them.
"Uncle Zheng, we're all hungry, hurry up and have something delicious." Lin Mu had been hungry for a long time, and now he was obediently sitting on the seat next to Uncle Bai, urging Zheng Gui, "We didn't care about food when we came back this time, we sat in the car all night, and we didn't eat anything." ”
Xiaobai was also hungry, but he had already taken a few buns from his grandfather and ate them.
Lin Mu also wanted to get a few buns from Uncle Bai, but Uncle Bai quickly knocked him with chopsticks, and Lin Mu had to retract his hand stupidly.
"That's right, Uncle Bai," Zheng Gui glanced out of the door after putting the food that Lin Mu wanted in front of them, as if he suddenly thought of something, and poured a little towards Uncle Bai, "That husky didn't come......
When Uncle Bai heard this, he also turned his head and looked at the door.
I really didn't come.
Usually there is always a black and white husky lying there waiting to eat, but today that familiar figure did not appear there.
"Dogs?" Lin Mu swallowed the food in his mouth, "When we came back, we saw a black and white one at the corner of the street. ”
After speaking, Lin Mu took another big bite of the bun.
"Yes, grandpa, that dog is huge."
Xiao Bai was also a little happy, jumped out of his seat, and stretched out his arms to show Uncle Bai and them the approximate size of the dog.
Uncle Bai and Zheng Gui exchanged glances. The little white figure is about the size of the husky.
"But," Lin Mu had finished eating a bun in the blink of an eye, "We went up to take a look, and ...... is dead."
He's dead?
Uncle Bai couldn't help but be a little worried about it.
At this time, at the corner of the street, the ball's eyes were closed, it must be dreaming, otherwise why did people come to see it and not wake up?
In the dream, it has an owner, has a lot of what it likes to eat, and has everything it wants.
Perhaps, the dream is indeed good, perhaps, it has long been unwilling to wake up.
It wants to live a very simple life, without poetry and distance, there is only his company......
May there be no sorrow in heaven......
