But before I could think of the answer to my question, my brother who was stir-frying in the kitchen interrupted my thoughts.

"Round! The dish is fried, come over and help lift it! ”

Because there is a serious shortage of people in the store, I usually have to work part-time as a food server, and the master Shi Xing next door will sometimes come to my side to be a waiter, and as for the senior brother, he is a part-time dishwasher and a chef.

Hearing my brother's call, I hurriedly stood up and walked to the kitchen, picked up the side dishes that my brother had already fried, and walked up to the second floor with him.

When I came to the box, I saw at a glance that the nerd Shi Xing was sitting on a stool, smiling and chatting with the man.

I glared at Shi Xing, why is this nerd so unfirm? Obviously it's someone on my side, but I ran to chat with the guy across from me, it's really an out-and-out wallgrass!

I quickly put down the side dish in my hand and turned around to leave the box, when the man stood up and said to me with a smile: "The master is called Yuanhua, right?" Can you sit down and talk? ”

I was about to refuse this man's invitation, but I turned around and pulled out my clipboard from my waist, and when I was about to write, my brother suddenly reached out and pulled me, and whispered in my ear: "You can't escape this matter no matter how you try to escape, it is better to sit down and listen to what he has to say." ”

Hearing my senior brother say this, I looked at the man with a friendly smile on his face in front of me, and my face became more and more gloomy.

A group of people in the box sat like this for a long time, and finally I sighed, reached out and pulled away the stool in front of me and sat down.

After I sat down, the man first handed us a circle of cigarettes, but when he saw that none of us answered, he laughed very awkwardly, and then he gently put the cigarette case in his hand on the table and looked up at me.

"Hello, my name is Qiu Qiyuan, dare to ask Daoist Yuanhua, did you adopt a child seven years ago?"

Hearing Qiu Qiyuan's words, I chuckled in my heart, it seems that what I think should be right!

The reason why the man and woman in front of them feel familiar is because they must be related to the little boy Ze I adopted seven years ago!

Seeing that I nodded expressionlessly, Qiu Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's the case, I encountered some difficulties in doing business back then, and I was in a very bad mood during that time, plus my son Qiu Yang's academic performance was not good, I would scold him every day when I went home, but I didn't expect that within a few days, this kid ran away from home!" ”

Without waiting for Qiu Qiyuan to finish speaking, the woman on the side, Shitong, immediately opened up and said to me: "Actually, our family is not local, we are from Guangxi, after our son disappeared, we have been looking for him all these years, until recently we had a relative said that we saw a child in this place who looked the same as our son, we immediately booked a plane ticket and rushed over, hoping to find our son." ”

After finishing speaking, Shitong's big eyes, who were sitting opposite me, suddenly shed tears without warning: "I beg you, can you let us see if the child you adopted is our son?" ”

But at this time, I was completely shocked by the news they provided, I just thought they were relatives of Tong Ze's kid at first, until Shi Tong on the other side opened his mouth just now, and I realized that it was Tong Ze's biological father and mother who came to the door.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the woman cried even more fiercely, she stood up suddenly, walked to my side in a few steps, fell to her knees in front of me, and looked at me with tears and snot: "I beg you, can you have pity on us as parents?" I haven't slept at all in the past seven years, and every day when I close my eyes, I dream that my son is living on the streets, and you have your own mother, and I beg you to help me for my sake. ”

Seeing Shitong kneeling in front of me, Qiu Qiyuan, who could still maintain his calmness, also stood up and knelt in front of me with Shitong: "I heard Master Shixing say that you are a Taoist priest, aren't you monks with compassion?" I, Qiu Qiyuan, beg you, as long as you let me see my son, even if you want my life, I will give it to you! ”

After finishing speaking, Qiu Qiyuan suddenly kowtowed to me three times, I was provoked by this voice, and then I reacted, turned around, but saw that Qiu Qiyuan's eyes were already red.

I hurriedly reached out to help them up, and after I helped them both onto the stool with Shixing, I fell into deep thought again.

The woman in front of me with tears in her eyes reminded me of my godmother who died at the hands of the Corpse King to save us, and my mother, whom I had never met.

If the people who are lost now are replaced by us, if our mother hadn't left, maybe it would be my own father and mother who are kneeling in front of others now.

I know what kind of torment my parents will live in every day after my son is lost.

Because I have long regarded Tong Ze as my son, every time Tong Ze comes home late, I will worry about whether he has an accident outside, let alone that he has been lost for seven years.

Looking at the two emaciated couples in front of me, my heart was suddenly filled with a sense of guilt, a few minutes ago I was worried that they would snatch my apprentice, but now it seems that I am too selfish to be a person.

I only thought about myself and never thought about their feelings.

Since I had been thinking about it and didn't answer the words of Qiu Qiyuan and his wife, the senior brother and Shi Xing around me wisely kept their mouths shut.

And this made Qiu Qiyuan and his wife even more anxious, Qiu Qiyuan even took out a bank card from his arms and handed it to me, looking at me with a pleading face: "Yuanhua Daoist, as long as you let us meet our son, I will immediately give you all my net worth!" ”

Looking at the bank card handed over by Qiu Qiyuan, I realized that they had misunderstood me, thinking that I ignored them because I saw that they were dressed richly.

I hurriedly grabbed the clipboard I had placed on the table and scribbled my answer on it.

"I'm sorry, I can't speak, so I didn't answer your questions, I didn't ask for your money, it's just that I was a little distracted just now, you said your son was lost seven years ago, do you have a picture of him?"

Seeing that I finally answered them, Qiu Qiyuan hurriedly nodded at me, while Shitong on the side took out a tear-stained photo from his handbag and handed it to me.

I nodded slightly at them, reached out to take the photo in Shitong's hand, looked down, and suddenly froze as if I had been struck by lightning!

Because the child in the photo in front of me, although he is a little immature compared to now, it is not difficult for me to see that he is Tong Ze seven years ago!

At this moment, the voice of Tong Ze, a kid, suddenly came from outside the door: "Master! How do you go up to the second floor and don't even close the outside door? If a thief sees it, your cash register will be stolen! ”

As he spoke, Tong Ze, the kid, stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door of the box.

When he saw Tong Ze at this moment, Shitong, who had already slowed down, screamed at Tong Ze!

"Son!"

After Tong Ze saw the people in the box, he was stunned at first, and when he saw his mother, Tong Ze's eyes were bloodshot for a moment, he looked at the screaming woman in front of him with trembling hands, and asked tremblingly, "Mom?" ”

After hearing Tong Ze's words, Na Shitong rushed out of his seat and hugged Tong Ze at the door into his arms.

"Son!"

Shitong cried while hugging the little Tong Ze in her arms tightly, as if if if she didn't do this, Tong Ze would disappear from her arms: "You are here!" Mom has been looking for you for seven years! Mom has finally found you! Son, I won't let you lose it, Mom misses you! ”

As for Tong Ze, who was held in Shitong's arms, after hearing Shitong's words, he also hugged Shitong, and shouted to Shitong while crying: "Mom, I miss you so much!" ”

And Qiu Qiyuan, when we didn't notice it, had quietly walked behind Tong Ze, he took his wife and son into his arms, and touched Tong Ze's head tremblingly: "Son, it was my father who was wrong back then, my father was too harsh on you, can you forgive me?" ”

Seeing Tong Ze nodding at himself, Qiu Qiyuan, who had always been strong, also shed tears of happiness.

Let's talk about the three of us, when we saw Shi Tong's reaction after Tong Ze opened the door, we already knew in our hearts who these two distinguished guests were today.

Now seeing their family of three hugging each other and crying bitterly, the three of us outsiders can only stand aside silently, looking at the haggard couple in front of them, and the usually heartless Tong Ze.

"That's not bad, either."

Senior brother looked at the touching scene in front of him, pursed his mouth, and then reached out and quietly pulled the corner of my clothes: "At least you let your apprentice find his biological parents, which can be regarded as good news." ”

Looking at the crying and smiling Tong Ze in front of me, I knew in my heart that from now on, this kid is no longer an apprentice I can take care of as a son.

But that's okay, with such a rich father, Tong Ze no longer has to worry about his future father-in-law's medical expenses.

It's just that I've been together for so long, and now I know that this kid is going to leave me, and I still feel a little reluctant in my heart, but this reluctance is still insignificant compared to Tong Ze's happiness.

Thinking of this, I tilted my head to the three people in front of me, and silently blessed in my heart: "Little guy, you must honor your father and mother more in the future, don't let people outside think that the disciple I taught in Yuanhua is a white-eyed wolf without filial piety." ”
