Volume 1 The Ten Mile Long Pavilion Will Be Different Chapter 9 A Cat Encounter

If it is as usual, the cat around seven o'clock should be full of people. The proprietors are a couple in their 40s, Shanghai natives, and guests are used to calling them Lao He.

Every time someone comes into their restaurant for dinner, they will always smile and say to the customer: "Nong, nong, nong, sit inside".

Lao He knows that every guest who can come to eat in his restaurant, whether rich or poor, men and women, young and old, should be respected together.

Moreover, since they have been running the store for so many years, they have also learned a lot from opening the store, and they feel the most sincere and simple feelings between people in this simple, fulfilling and ordinary life.

Sometimes, it is not easy for many people to sit together and have a happy meal.

When Xixi and Sister Wen pushed the door in, Lao He was serving food to a nearby table. Seeing Xixi and Sister Wen coming, Lao He said enthusiastically: "Girl, there are seats reserved for the two of you upstairs, hurry upstairs, and tell me and your Aunt Liu what you want to eat."

Since the beginning of Xixi's freshman year, every time I want to eat some home-cooked food, I will always come here, and I have become familiar with Lao He and his wife. As for Sister Wen, she may have come more often than Xixi.

"Old woman, our two daughters are here, hurry upstairs." After Xixi and Sister Wen went upstairs and sat down at a dining table near the window, they heard Lao He downstairs shouting to Aunt Liu, who was helping in the kitchen.

Lao He and Aunt Liu had a daughter before, and they were about the same age as them in terms of age.

Sometimes life is always like this, bringing heart-wrenching blows again and again to ordinary and ordinary people in the world. And people who live in the world can always learn to accept it one day and face it calmly.

"Xixi, Xiaowen, I haven't seen you two here for a long time, I thought you forgot me and your uncle"? Aunt Liu said as she handed the menu to Xixi's hand.

"Aunt Liu, there have been a lot of things in the school recently, Xixi and I won't come right away when we're busy, you and Uncle He treat us so well, it's too late for us to think about it." Sister Wen said to Aunt Liu with a smile.

"I'll just say it! Girl, I have recently added a few new dishes to my house, I can try them today." Every time Aunt Liu heard Xixi and Sister Wen call her Aunt Liu, her heart blossomed.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, Xixi and I will look at it first, and take it down when we see it, you go and take care of the things in the store first, don't worry about us." Sister Wen said as she took out a finely crafted bracelet from her pocket and stretched out her hand to put it on Aunt Liu's right hand.

"How can this be done, girl, look at you, you are still in school, besides, how can I take your things." Aunt Liu hurriedly prepared to take off the bracelet and return it to Sister Wen.

"Aunt Liu, just wear it, your daughter will buy you a bracelet, and others won't envy it." Sister Wen said, taking Aunt Liu's hand and saying.

"Okay, okay, girl, you two look at it first, and if you have anything, call me and you Uncle He." After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she went downstairs.

"During the years when I was an undergraduate, Uncle He and Aunt Liu took good care of me, and there was no one else in the family, so I felt that Uncle He and Aunt Liu were like my parents." Sister Wen said while looking out the window.

"Sister Wen, what do you think of this scallop?" Xixi said and showed the menu to Sister Wen. She knew what Sister Wen was thinking.

Sometimes, those who understand women better than women are still women. Because, they are born with a temperament, brave, intelligent, and kind.

"Aunt Liu's sweet and sour carp, as well as the three fresh vegetable toast, I suggest you try it, Ao, by the way, and the roasted yogurt, which is particularly delicious,".

"Then I'll take it to Uncle Ho." Xixi got up and said to Sister Wen.

"Well, good". Sister Wen looked out the window again, the busy city, I don't know when it started to rain suddenly, and it was dripping.

When Xixi walked downstairs, Sister Wen stopped Xixi and said, "I want two bottles of beer in front of Uncle He, room temperature, remember not to let Aunt Liu know, you know that she doesn't let girls drink."

"Got it". Cissy went downstairs and headed towards the kitchen. After going downstairs, Xixi saw Aunt Liu entertaining guests, Uncle He was in the kitchen, and after Xixi handed the list to Uncle He, she took advantage of Aunt Liu's inattention to take two bottles of beer.

When Uncle He saw Xixi secretly taking beer and not letting Aunt Liu know, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, his daughter looked like Xixi when she was a child.

"Uncle He, don't tell Aunt Liu secretly", Xixi said with a grin at Uncle He.

"Understand, hurry upstairs, don't let your Aunt Liu see it, I'll bring the dishes in a while, you sit on it and wait for a while." As he spoke, Uncle Ho took cover and let Xixi go upstairs.

Compared with Aunt Liu, Uncle He is not so strict in terms of girls not drinking, and besides, he is still at home, and there is nothing to drink.

Uncle He knows that sometimes the thoughts of girls are not clear to men like men, even though he has been living with Aunt Liu for more than 20 years.

The rain outside the window seemed to be much heavier than before, and Xixi and Sister Wen sat in front of the window. It has been said that when it rains, it is easy to arouse people's feelings, whether it is sadness or hope.

"When I leave, he will come to the office tomorrow to see me, and he seems to be working for a media agency now." Sister Wen looked at Xixi and said. In Sister Wen's eyes, Xixi is more often not a student she has led, but more like a younger sister who is not so much younger than her.

Sister Wen knew about Xixi's breakup with tomorrow, she didn't know why she broke up, but women's intuition told her that Zhang Xiaocheng was just a reason, and as for Xixi's attitude towards tomorrow, she also wanted to test it.

"Well, I know, he told me that when he left." Xixi said calmly, I don't know why, when she is with Sister Wen, she always seems very calm. Perhaps, it is Sister Wen's maturity. Or perhaps, the same as a woman.

"You guys"? Sister Wen didn't continue to ask when she said this, she knew that there were some things that she couldn't ask again and again, even if it was the person closest to her.

The rain outside the window began to fall again, and one drop after another became a sound, accompanying the music playing outside the store, and disappeared into the smoke and rain together.

It is a song of Chou Dong, released in 2001 in the second album "Fantesi", and won the Best Golden Melody Award at the 2nd Global Chinese Song Chart Awards in 2002.

"Only the piano was left to talk to me for a day, and I will learn to give up on you on the cello when I fall asleep, because I love you too much......"

Jingle bell, the doorbell of Uncle He's house suddenly rang in the rain, and Aunt Liu opened the door to see that it was outside with a parasol tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, hurry up, what are you doing standing outside, come in! You see it's raining so hard, don't get wet, it's easy to catch a cold in this weather in Shanghai." Aunt Liu said that she pulled Tomorrow into the store and said to Tomorrow with concern.

"Aunt Liu, you and Uncle He have been okay recently." Since the last time I came with the fat man, I haven't been to Aunt Liu's place tomorrow. It seems that in the past, every weekend, he would always come over with the fat man to help Uncle He and Aunt Liu carry things.

"Good, good, all good".

Aunt Liu pointed upstairs and said, "They're upstairs, hurry up." With that, he went to entertain the guests at the next table, who had already urged him several times to serve the food.

Tomorrow, while walking upstairs, I thought to myself what Aunt Liu just said, who are they, I used to eat with a few people I knew, it is nothing more than the fat man and the few people who played basketball with the school, who else would there be?

Sister Wen knew that Xixi didn't want to mention the relationship with her tomorrow, so she chatted with Xixi about the recent hit dramas, chatted about some gossip, and talked about studying, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed more brisk.

Actually, gossip is in a woman's nature. No matter the time of day, in any place, they can always find what they are looking for.

This is also the unique temperament of women in this era: romance.

"Knock knock" Hearing a sound coming from the stairs, Sister Wen and Xixi thought it was Uncle He, so they looked towards the staircase.

"Tomorrow!" When Sister Wen shouted tomorrow's name, she glanced at Xixi, and then at tomorrow.

And at this time, tomorrow is also at the staircase, looking at Xixi from a distance, and also looking at Sister Wen.

"Come and sit together! In a while, Uncle Ho will bring up the delicious food." Sister Wen said and gestured with her hand to come over tomorrow. Tomorrow walked over and sat down across from Sissy.

I don't know why I feel more nervous tomorrow than ever at this time, more nervous than when I first confessed to Xixi.

"Look at you, I'm not with you, and your hair is gone." Sissy looked at Tomorrow and grinned at him, and Sissy looked unconcerned when she said this.

"I've been busy with work lately, and I haven't had time to clean up, so I just got off work, so I came over to see Aunt He Bo Liu, I didn't expect to meet you." Tomorrow opened the two bottles of beer on the table and said as he poured the wine.

"Just allow you to see Uncle He, Aunt Liu, and not me and Sister Wen?" Sissy said with his eyes fixed on tomorrow again.

"That's not what I meant......" Tomorrow said as he pushed the beer that had poured about half a glass of beer to Xixi and Sister Wen. In the past, when he was with Sissy, he allowed Sissi to drink a small amount every time. Sissy says that little bit is always sweet.

"Then you just don't want to see me and Sister Wen?" Cissy went on to ask about tomorrow.

Sister Wen looked at Xixi and Tomorrow from the side, she felt that the two of them still liked each other and loved each other deeply, but why did the two people who liked and loved each other deeply become like this now? Maybe that's love.

"I'm not afraid of disturbing you." Tomorrow took a sip of wine and said. He looked up at Sissy again, and Sissy looked at her as well.

"Girls, here comes the dishes." After He Bo came up from the staircase, he put the dishes on the table, patted Tomorrow on the shoulder and said, "You bastard boy, you and Xiaopang came to me that day and didn't come after drinking, and remember me today."

"Uncle He, isn't this time busy with work, you see that I will run to you as soon as I am free." Tomorrow, I will pull Uncle He to sit down and eat together.

"I won't participate in the work, you young people can still talk when you sit together, isn't my old man ruining your interest, you eat, remember to tell me and your Aunt Liu if it's not enough." He brought the food and went downstairs.

At the dinner table, Sister Wen and Xixi will talk to me tomorrow, and there will be a few smirks from Xixi from time to time.

It doesn't seem to be as bad as we thought.

"Uncle He, Aunt Liu, I put the money on the table, you remember to get it." Tomorrow said to Aunt He Uncle Liu, who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen.

"Look at you children, come to me as a home, see more outside, sit more and then leave." Uncle He and Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen and said to them.

"Aunt Liu, a few of us will come over another day, the school is not far away, and a few of us will pass." Xixi said this when she opened the door, she didn't want to trouble Aunt Liu and Uncle He too much.

"Be careful on the road, when you arrive, tell me and you Uncle He, there is an umbrella at the door, remember to take it, although it is raining outside for a while, the umbrella should be taken." Aunt Liu instructed the three of them.

After going out, tomorrow opened the umbrella and walked to Xixi, Xixi said to Sister Wen: "Sister Wen, you go back first, I will come back later, be careful on the road."

Sister Wen knew that Xixi still had some things to do at this time. This is what they feel about as women.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Sister Wen said and went to the school.

In this way, in a southern city like Shanghai, it rained at night, and a boy and a girl walked silently on the street.

No one knows what they're thinking at the moment, but they always feel that it's a beautiful thing.

"In the future, I hope that when we meet again, it will be different from now." Sissy said to tomorrow.

"What about Zhang Xiaocheng"? Tomorrow can't help but say Zhang Xiaocheng's name.

"It's nothing to do with him, it's a matter for the two of us". When I send Cissy downstairs tomorrow, Cissy said to Tomorrow.

That night, tears flowed from the sky. Tomorrow says, "I'm going to find my beloved girl."
