Chapter 21: Both parents die
When I was very young, my parents came to Jiangcheng to work. My father was a worker in a construction company at the time, and my mother worked as a waitress at this noodle shop owned by this fellow villager.
Ye Zi said, falling into deep memories.
I was a left-behind child in my hometown, and I lived with my grandmother. My mother is pretty. She is hardworking, kind, honest, cheerful and enthusiastic about people. All the people around her speak very well of her. The owner of the noodle restaurant is one of her fellow villagers, and she often gives her a raise.
Ye Zi paused for a moment, then continued.
However, such a kind person can also meet great misfortunes. All of a sudden, my mother had breast cancer. She urgently needed surgery in the hospital. Her father took out all his savings and took her to the hospital. The doctor later said that my mother's surgery was a success.
But shortly after the operation, my mother lost her life. She was only 35 years old when she died. How can a person of this age, and a good person, die?
My father was devastated. But he still controlled his grief and devoted himself to dealing with his mother's funeral.
After the father sparked his mother's body, he returned to his hometown with the urn. My grandmother couldn't stand the sudden blow and was bedridden for a month. And I don't even know how the next few days will pass. My father was afraid that my grief would affect my studies, and he also brought me to this city in order to relieve my grandmother's burden. When I came to this city, I had just turned 13. My father sent me to a nearby secondary school.
My father was always busy and often worked overtime, and my mother's death always left a shadow in my heart, and I missed and pitied my mother so much. My mother was ruthlessly killed by illness before she could really enjoy the happy times. I admit that my academic performance has suffered. As a result, when I was admitted to university last year, my grades were extremely unsatisfactory. My father wanted me to repeat my studies for another year and take the exam again the next year.
I didn't want to go to university anymore and insisted on going to work. My father found the eldest sister who my mother knew and helped her, and sent me to Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant to work as a waitress.
In this year, when I had only been working at Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant for half a year, my father fell from a three-story scaffolding at the construction site, and was rushed to the hospital by an upside-down thick steel bar on the ground through his heart. The construction unit sent someone to inform me. I rushed to the hospital, I was sad and had no idea, so I had to call my uncle and ask him to come over and take care of it.
My father did not survive the catastrophe and died in a hospital bed. I cried like a tearful man. Fortunately, my uncle, otherwise, I don't know what to do next. My uncle took care of my father's funeral on his behalf. In accordance with my father's last wishes, and negotiated with me, he took the accident compensation money given to my father by the construction company, and bought the current façade of Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant
The townsman put the restaurant on the plate and handed it over to me to run it. My uncle promised to help me.
Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant was bought by my parents with their lives. In my hands, not only can I not lose it, but I must find ways to manage it well.
You know what Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle House means to me, right?
The leaves come back to reality from their memories. Her eyes were moist and sparkling with tears.
After listening to Ye Zi's statement, the dragon sleep boy's gaze froze.
My family is falling apart and going our separate ways, but we are all living a healthy life as a family, and I am still happy. I didn't expect Yezi's family to be so unlucky. The greatest sorrow in the world actually befell her. How unfortunate she was, and how difficult it was.
What is even more commendable is that she turned her grief into strength and showed incomparable strength, perseverance and optimism.
She regards Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant as her own business, as the unfinished business of her father and mother. She poured infinite enthusiasm and love, and took on the honor and duty of the unnoble. She has firm confidence and shows a strong ability to run and maintain Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant well.
Now, Longmian Kid has a very good understanding of Ye Zi's original invitation to join Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant. She trusted him and was optimistic about him, so she invited him to do it with her.
Now, Longmian Kid even feels that he also bears a responsibility and obligation for Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant. That is, together with the leaves, make the Longmian Mountain beef noodle restaurant bigger and stronger.
The dragon boy was infected by the sincerity and tragedy of the leaf, he stretched out his hands and held the hands of the leaf. The boy said: We run the Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant well to comfort your parents' souls in the sky, I have confidence.
The leaves were very impressed. She withdrew a hand from the dragon sleep boy's hands, wiped a handful of tears, rubbed her eyes, and then put it back into the dragon sleep boy's hand. She said to the dragon sleeping boy: I also have confidence, thank you.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Revel in the tranquility behind the hustle and bustle of the noodle restaurant.
At this time, Uncle Ye came out of the back hall. The two withdrew their hands. Uncle Ye walked up to Ye Zi and Longmian Boy and said to them: It's not too early, go back and rest, you still go to work tomorrow, you have worked hard.
The two of them got up. The three of them walked out of the noodle shop together. Uncle Ye finally locked the door of the noodle restaurant.
It's snowy outside. The boy pulled up the back hat of the cotton coat and covered his head, put his hands in his pockets, and hurried back against the wind and snow.
Back at his rented place, to his surprise, the college student surnamed Zou and his girlfriend actually sat at the table in the living room as he and Ye Zi had been, drinking happily.
Will Leaf be my girlfriend?
The college student surnamed Zou saw the Longmian boy come in and took the initiative to say hello. It's very rare, and it seems that he has a lot of interest today. He held a mutton skewer and said to the dragon sleeping boy: "You just brought it back from outside, you can also bring one."
It was so late, the dragon sleeping boy was a little tired, he didn't want to disturb their Yaxing, so he politely declined and went back to the room directly.
There was no one outside, they were drinking, and on such a cold day, they were drinking beer, and they were talking. It seems that they are discussing where they will go after graduation.
The dragon sleeping boy was still a little interested in their conversation at first. Later, they spoke louder and quieter, sometimes for fear that the dragon boy would hear it, and whispered. The dragon boy was no longer interested. He soon fell asleep.
On this night, the dragon sleeping boy actually had a series of dreams.
In the dream, the business of Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant suddenly became hot again. Customers are overflowing. After the leaves were busy, their faces were full of red light and smiles.
When he rested, the leaves always smiled at him. The leaves laughed, very charming. The smile is like a flower, and she is talking about her. She laughed, and the dimples became more and more apparent.
After laughing, she suddenly asked: Am I your girlfriend?
In the dream, the "battle" at the foot of Longmian Mountain began. Long Xiaowang said that Ye Zi is suitable to be a member of the former women's working committee. Leaves asked to go to the front. The dragon boy did not agree. The battle began. The dragon sleeping boy commanded the front-line battle and was honorably wounded. He was carried to the rear and carefully tended by the leaves. The battle was a final victory. At the summary and commendation meeting, the head of the recovered children's regiment praised the brave fighters of the front-line combat units, and also praised Ye Zi. Long Xiaowang was not convinced. He said to Longmian Kid in private, so many members of the women's working committee in front of the branch have performed very well, and you only praise Ye Zi because she takes care of you?
The Dragon Sleep Kid didn't explain. Long Xiaowang is jealous.
Ye Zi sat opposite the Longmian boy and said to him, we all grew up at the foot of Longmian Mountain, did we know each other before?
The dragon boy replied to her that she couldn't remember what happened when she was a child.
Ye Zi beat him and said, what kind of memory are you, we played together, villain, eat beef noodles.
In the dream, the mother returned to Taoyuan Village. The grandmother wanted to beat her, but her hand was raised, but she put it down, and she hugged her daughter and began to cry. My grandfather was very angry and said, you kid, just leave, you don't want home, we old people don't want it anymore, my kid is so pitiful, he looks for you everywhere, worried that you will be wronged outside, but you don't care about him.
The grandmother blamed her grandfather and grandmother: My granddaughter is back, you don't seem to welcome it, you are not happy, is this her maiden home?
Grandma turned around and hugged her and said to her: Grandma, I make you worry, I just went out to work, how could I not come back.
Longmian boy's father, Long Yintai, also came back for the New Year. He carried a large bag and a small bag to his mother-in-law's house to plead guilty. My grandfather was very angry, but when he looked at his wife, he didn't dare to make a move, so he stomped his feet and turned around and left.
Grandmother, grandmother, and grandfather forgave their father for the dragon seal platform. My father said to my grandfather and grandmother: I will take Yang Xue and Longmian Boy home, and our family will live a good life in the future, so as not to make you angry. The attitude is extremely sincere.
Everyone likes it and has fun. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the dragon boy and his grandfather set off firecrackers together. Then, together with his parents, he returned to his home in Dragon Village.
In the dream, the car came! Get out of the way! Boom! Crashed again.
