The restaurant at noon was as lively as ever, and Li Qin shook his sore arm. As soon as there are many diners in the restaurant, he, the waiter, has to change his identity and become the second chef in the back hall. The diners in the restaurant also praised Li Qin's cooking skills, and occasionally ordered Li Qin's specialty dishes.

Li Qin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and Aunt Zhang patted Li Qin's arm, "Okay, you can put down the work in the store first." It's almost time for dinner, you hurry up and cook for Xiaoxiao. ”

After a busy morning, Li Qin remembered that he had called Chu Xiaoxiao to come to the store for dinner at noon in the morning. Li Qin patted his head, "Hey, auntie, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." ”

"You kid, clean up the table next to you, hurry up and cook for Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, the girl will be unhappy when she comes and sees that she has nothing to eat. ”

Aunt Zhang said this as if she was her own daughter who was going to come in. Li Qin moved to the console next to him and wiped the pot, "You, get used to her." It's almost time to catch up with her own mother. ”

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped what she was doing and sighed, "Alas, Lan Feng follows Chu Shanchen and runs around every day for business. Xiaoxiao used to live at their friend's house. Under this fence, how can children live happily. Aunt Lin found out and took the child over. I've lived here for more than ten years. Xiaoxiao was in her third year of high school because of the hukou problem, and she had to go back to the exam before leaving. Later, when I went to college, I was able to come back to see Aunt Lin during the winter and summer vacations. This child is also filial, although Aunt Lin is no longer here, she still chooses to work here. ”

Li Qin slowed down the work in his hand, was stunned for a few seconds, smiled silently and began to cook.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiaoxiao walked into the restaurant. A few old diners sitting at the door saw Chu Xiaoxiao who entered the door and greeted enthusiastically: "Yo, Xiaoxiao is here." Are you hungry for the proprietress again?"

Chu Xiaoxiao also smiled and said to the diners, "Isn't it, Aunt Li." ”

"Hey, smile, your cousin, that young man's cooking is also good. He's still single, right? I'll tell our family to be careful to come and see him another day. What a nice boy. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao heard that the other party wanted to introduce the object to Li Qin, so she held back a smile and nodded, "Okay, aunt, I'll go in first." You eat slowly. Chu smiled and pointed to box ten.

"Haha, go ahead, go ahead. Hey, remember to talk to your cousin when you go back. ”

"Yes, auntie. ”

After Chu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the person had already walked to the front of the box. Chu Xiaoxiao opened the long curtain of the box, and Li Qin had already set the meal and sat aside waiting for her.

Chu Xiaoxiao walked in, sat down, sniffed, squinted and looked at Li Qin, "Old man Li, your skills are good, why don't you show your hands at home?"

"Stir-fry whatever you want. Li Qin waved his hand.

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped her chopsticks, took her small bag and took out the notebook she had sent in the morning.

Seeing the old-fashioned notebook with a combination lock, Li Qin frowned, "This is?"

"Grandma Sun's, her eldest son sent it in the morning. said that the old lady asked him to send it before leaving. ”

Li Qin pointed to the notebook, "What is written in that notebook?"

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head, spread her hands, and said helplessly: "I don't know, I haven't opened it yet." When I sent it, I said that the password was my grandmother's birthday, but I couldn't open it when I typed it in. I also entered the birthday of the old calendar, and I couldn't open it. ”

"You type... 196584”

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoxiao didn't react.

"You try. Li Qin stared at the combination lock on his notebook. Chu Xiaoxiao turned the password lock a few more times according to what Li Qin said, only to hear a "snap", and the combination lock popped open.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Qin with a surprised expression, and Li Qin explained: "The birthday on your grandmother's ID card was changed later. Because of the recruitment problem at that time, it was secretly changed to a bigger one. Okay, eat first, open it after eating and see what's inside. ”

Although Li Qin said this, his eyes never took off the notebook. Chu Xiaoxiao shook the notebook in front of Li Qin, "Why don't we eat it after reading it?"

Li Qin snatched the notebook and closed it and put it on the chair next to him, Chu Xiaoxiao puffed out his lips and picked up the chopsticks helplessly. After the meal, Li Qin returned the notebook to Chu Xiaoxiao, and prepared to walk out of the box with the tableware. Chu Xiaoxiao stopped Li Qin, "Hey, old man Li, why are you going?"

"Washing dishes"

"Don't you look at this?" Chu Xiaoxiao pointed to the notebook in his hand.

Li Qin shook his head, "That's what Sister Sun sent to you, you see." In the evening, when someone calls again, you say that the thing has been received. ”

"Mmmm, okay," Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that Li Qin's words were wrong, how did he know that Grandma Sun called him at night? Just as he was about to ask, Li Qin had already gone out with his things.

Chu Xiaoxiao opened the diary, and the beautiful inscriptions of the blue pen were engraved on the yellowed paper one by one. What is written on it is Grandma Sun's daily diary. Chu Xiaoxiao flipped through it, and when it came to the last page. Chu Xiaoxiao found that the font on that page was very sloppy, as if it had been written with excitement. And the whole article is just three words in a row: he's coming

Chu Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the date again, it was October 4th, it was her birthday, and it was also the day she met Li Qin. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the messy font and thought: Could it be... Is this Li Qin?

Chu Xiaoxiao flipped to the back of the page, and there was a string of addresses written on the back. After Chu Xiaoxiao saw the string of addresses, she couldn't calm down completely. Because it is written on the paper: No. 23 Nanhua Street, Gutou Grocery Store, A24 Lin Xiaoyan.

Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, she suddenly remembered the note "Bright Groceries, A24 Lin Xiaoyan", but now there is an ancient head grocery store A24 Lin Xiaojing, which one is stored in the things that her grandmother left for herself?

Just as Chu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, Li Qin walked in. Chu Xiaoxiao saw that Li Qin wanted to close the diary, but hesitated for a moment, did not close it, but spread out the page with the address, and stretched out his hand and handed it to Li Qin.

Li Qin took the diary and narrowed his eyes when he saw the address written on it. He had heard of the old head grocery store, which was a grocery store that he had opened since he was a child. And the bright groceries on the note, Li Qin had never heard of it. He had asked among the diners who had come and gone recently, but no one knew what the grocery store was. Li Qin turned the notebook forward a few more pages, he was stunned, locked his brows and flipped the notebook again.

"What's wrong with you, Old man Li?" Looking at Li Qinshen's frown, Chu Xiaoxiao was a little worried. She knew that Li Qin's expression was obviously something bad.

Li Qin lowered his voice and said: "I used to be a reporter... Naturally distinguish handwriting. Even if a person's appearance changes, his handwriting does not change. You see, the handwriting on the front and on the last page is completely different. Although the latter is deliberately imitating the former, her pen is too heavy, and the last stroke of each word is slightly heavier. I only remember one person in this kind of note. Li Qin stopped when he said this, he raised his head and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, and then said: "The handwriting of the two addresses... It's all your grandmother's. ”
