Chapter 117: First Encounter Cafe
On the weekend, Wen Jinghao returned home, and the moment he opened the door, he saw Momo sitting on the sofa.
"Dad, I'm back." Wen Zimo stood up.
"Hmm......" Wen Zimo hasn't called his father for a long time, and Wen Jinghao can't remember clearly: "Where's grandma?" ”
"Make me noodles, Dad, and make you a bowl too."
"Good!" Wen Jinghao finished changing his shoes and put down his handbag.
Wen Zimo ran into the kitchen: "Grandma, my dad is back." ”
Wen Zimo looked at his son's cheerful figure, and the indescribable joy in his heart, his son has changed, and he is no longer cold.
Sitting at the dining table, the father and son each have a bowl of noodles and garlic, which is called a pleasure.
"Grandma's noodles are delicious!"
"Come back on the weekend and grandma will make it for you." Mother Wen watched her son and grandson eat noodles, she smiled with her eyebrows, there has not been such a steaming atmosphere in the house for a long time.
After eating, father and son sat on the sofa.
"Momo, how are you studying lately?"
"The study is very intense, the new courses, and the ...... of the last semester Wen Zimo said with a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes: "But, Dad, don't worry, you won't fail the course again in the future!" ”
"Daddy believes in you!" When his son came back this time, there was no need to communicate, he had already seen his son's changes, which may be the credit of Lin Chuxia: "Your mother, how are you doing?" ”
"Very good, I went to my mother's apartment last week and she said let me go home with you and grandma."
"Well......" Wen Jinghao's heart was sour, after all, he couldn't go back after twenty years of husband and wife. However, that unforgettable love, that warm and sweet moment, will still devour his heart from time to time.
"Dad, you take care of yourself." Wen Zimo said and stood up.
"Grandma, I'm back at school."
"I'm just going to leave after eating!" Mother Wen came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Grandma, I'll be back next week."
"Go home on weekends, it's your home!" Wen Jinghao carried his son's bag and handed it to his son.
"I see, Dad." Wen Zimo took the bag and carried it on his shoulder.
"Goodbye, grandma." Wen Zimo opened the door and turned to leave.
"Goodbye...... Mother Wen felt a sense of loss in her heart: "Come back and eat a bowl of noodles and leave." ”
Wen's mother took off her apron and sat next to her son.
"Change the channel by yourself......" Wen Jinghao took the remote control, put it in front of his mother, and got up to leave.
"For the rest of your life, if you don't find a daughter-in-law, how can I explain to your father."
"What are you looking for a daughter-in-law? Inheritance? Isn't there Wen Zimo? Wen Jinghao turned to look at his mother.
"Then you can't beat a bachelor for the rest of your life, right?"
"Mom, I'm almost fifty, can you leave me alone!"
"How old is my son, if you don't bring a daughter-in-law back, you can't do it!"
"Didn't you get one last time, what did you say?"
"That's not a person who lives!"
Wen Jinghao was speechless, put on his coat, picked up his bag, and changed his shoes.
"Why are you going?"
"Get out and breathe!" Wen Jinghao slammed the door and left.
In the past six months, my mother has said these words the most, and he has tried to shorten the time he goes home, starting to go home every day, and now he comes back three or four times a week.
He even wanted to live in the unit to hide, but this didn't work, the old lady was home alone, and he was worried. My father left early, my sister was far away, and my mother didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Before he knew it, he was entering the café downstairs again.
When you open the door of the café, you will be greeted by the smell of coffee. Actually, Wen Jinghao doesn't like the taste of coffee, but this café has become a place he often visits.
The chic decoration style of the café and the warm and comfortable atmosphere made him gradually like it, and his heart had an unprecedented peace and calm.
Sit by the window as usual, open the bag, and take out the notebook.
"Hello sir, this cup is given to you by our boss." The waiter holds a cup of coffee and places it on the table.
"Why?" Wen Jinghao raised his head, his eyes full of doubts.
"I don't know ......," the waiter turned to look at his boss.
Wen Jinghao followed the waiter's eyes and looked at the bar.
A middle-aged woman who cleaned up delicately smiled at him.
"Thank you!" Wen Jinghao picked up the cup and nodded at her.
Wen Jinghao looked at the white latte art in the coffee cup, like a small cake.
Looking at the extremely exquisite latte art pattern, he was reluctant to take a sip, put down the cup, opened the work notes, yesterday's work was not finished, his fingers quickly tapped the keyboard, and put into work.
Time passed imperceptibly, and finally came to an end. Wen Jinghao raised his head and looked at the sunlight outside the window, sprinkled warmly on the window, like a ray of hope, thrown into Wen Jinghao's heart.
"Can I sit down?" The boss came over and stood in front of Wen Jinghao.
"Of course, this is your territory, you have the final say!"
"My name is An Lei."
"Wen Jinghao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Wen Jinghao stretched out his right hand.
An Lei lightly shook the tips of Wen Jinghao's fingers and withdrew them elegantly.
"Thank you for the coffee, nice craft! When I saw it for the first time, I was reluctant to swallow it. ”
The corners of An Lei's mouth rose slightly, as if she smiled.
"Today is my birthday, and everyone who arrives in the afternoon has a share."
"Oh, I see." A trace of loss flashed in Wen Jinghao's heart: "I wish you a happy birthday." ”
"Thank you." An Lei pursed her lips slightly: "You are also a regular customer in my store." ”
"My house is on the twenty-second floor of this building, so I'll come down if I'm fine."
"What about Madame? Why not with you? ”
"I'm divorced and single."
"I'm sorry......" An Lei's eyes were full of apologies.
"It's nothing, it's normal to get divorced now."
"It's really normal, I'm also divorced and single, and I left my hometown alone and came here."
"Connected to the same fate, where is your hometown?"
"Xi'an."
"Fellow, I'm from Baoji, do you have wine? Celebrate! ”
"Of course I have, but I can't drink during work hours."
"Understand, I'll drink!"
Encountering old acquaintances in a foreign land is worth celebrating.
When Wen Jinghao was busy with An Lei, he took out his mobile phone and ordered a bouquet of flowers for her.
Soon, flowers were delivered to the store.
"An Lei, sign for your flowers." Someone shouted at the door.
An Lei walked out of the bar and took the flowers, she looked at the card inserted on the flowers, which only had four words written on it: Happy Birthday, without a signature.
An Lei looked at the delicate flowers, bursts of floral fragrance came to her face, refreshing! She raised her eyes to look at Wen Jinghao, who was looking at her, meeting her gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and smiling.
"Thank you for the flowers." An Lei walked in front of Wen Jinghao.
"Gifts are still exchanged, as it should be."
"When I'm done, I'll drink with you." An Lei glanced at the store, this point is the peak of business.
"Go get busy, I'll wait for you!"
