Chapter Ninety-Six: Embarrassment
Two red earthworms flowed down from Lu Changqing's nostrils at once.
Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
Lu Changqing, who noticed that something was wrong, quickly wiped it, and when he saw the blood, he lowered his head in a hurry, and while helping his mother-in-law to lie down, he commanded Zhou Huilan in a panic, "You, you go and get the mattress in the bedroom, I'll take a look at ...... first."
Zhou Huilan's hand was freed, she hurriedly rushed into the house and quickly put on her clothes, and then lifted the quilt and hugged the mattress underneath.
The mattress was spread on the ground, Zhou Huilan and Lu Changqing helped her mother-in-law to move up, her mother-in-law adjusted her posture and lay on her side, Lu Changqing pressed her waist and back legs a few times in turn, the old lady didn't say that it hurt, and Lu Changqing was obviously relieved.
"It's a blessing that there are no problems with the bones."
didn't break the bone, it was a skin injury, and the mother-in-law's waist was red on the railing.
"I'll bring a bottle of medicated oil later, just wipe it off." As soon as she stretched out her hand to Chong Yaoyao, the little girl walked over very obediently and held his hand, and the two of them were about to go out in harmony.
"Yaoyao!" Zhou Huilan was completely stunned, "You are ......"
Following her mother's gaze, Yaoyao also looked at Lu Changqing, "Mom, Uncle Lu also helped my mother-in-law send me to school recently, he knows the road, mom don't worry." ”
She understood Zhou Huilan's doubts very well, but the familiar look of her holding hands with Lu Changqing made Zhou Huilan feel uncomfortable.
obviously said that he would take good care of his daughter.
Obviously, making money is to take better care of my daughter.
But now, she is so busy that she doesn't even know who her daughter is close to.
Lu Changqing also smiled and said that Zhou Huilan should not worry, and reminded Yaoyao to say goodbye to her mother.
Zhou Huilan wanted to call her daughter back, but her mother-in-law still needed her to take care of her, looking at Yaoyao's happy appearance when she was held by Lu Changqing, she didn't say anything.
Because her mother-in-law knocked on her waist, although her bones are fine, after all, she needs to rest more when she is old, and it is definitely impossible to pick up Yaoyao.
At noon, Zhou Huilan arrived at the hotel and wanted to ask Zhang Yongqiang for leave.
But Zhang Yongqiang didn't listen to her finish speaking, so he shook his head into a rattle, "You are the master chef of this restaurant, the backbone of this back kitchen, have you ever seen a place where the backbone is absent?" ”
"But the old man in my family is injured, and the child still has to be taken care of, so I really can't leave."
"If you can't leave, you can find someone to take care of you! If you find a small one to help in the back kitchen, or hire a nurse and nanny yourself, you can solve the problem, but you can't ask for leave! ”
After he finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Huilan's face was getting heavier and heavier, he quickly put on a smiling face and patted Zhou Huilan's shoulder, "You are the master of our Donghua Restaurant, how many big bosses and leaders are waiting to eat your fried dishes, how much money is not enough, besides, our hotel has just opened, and you have your own shares, don't you want to take advantage of the popularity of the opening to make the restaurant better?" ”
"If you still can't rest assured, I'll go myself! I'll help you pick up and drop off the kids and take care of the elderly! Zhang Yongqiang said that he was about to go out.
Zhou Huilan sighed helplessly and stopped him.
She is the master chef in the back kitchen, and the chefs under her regard her as the backbone, she can't just think about herself.
At the end of the lunch shift, Zhou Huilan picked up a lunch box of red braised pig's trotters from the back kitchen and went directly to Lu's house.
Lu Fengxia has come back, but Old Man Lu has not come back yet.
The first person who can entrust the child, Zhou Huilan's first thought is Aunt Fengxia, but Aunt Lu will definitely not refuse to help for a while, but if it is a long-term ...... She wasn't sure if Aunt Fengxia would be able to agree.
In the middle of the afternoon, Aunt Feng Xia sat under the patio sewing clothes, and Lu Changqing was lying on the recliner in the pharmacy.
Zhou Huilan put down the pig's trotters and explained her intentions.
"What's the matter, you just have to go and help, I'll take care of it for you." Aunt Fengxia agreed without hesitation at all.
"Auntie, it's not a day or two, I'm just afraid that I'll have to bother you for a while in the future, so I think I can't call you hard work in vain," Zhou Huilan mustered up her courage, "I'll give you three hundred yuan a month." ”
"You're treating me like an outsider!" Aunt Feng Xia put down the needlework in her hand, and her face immediately sank, "If you want to do this, I really can't help with this favor." ”
"Auntie, I'm not ......" Zhou Huilan didn't know how to explain.
"Auntie, why don't you take such a well-earned salary?" Lu Changqing walked out of the house, shaking the banana fan in his hand, with a light smile on his face, "You take this money and buy more delicious food for the child, which can not only ease her heart, but also make the child kiss you, what a good thing!" ”
Lu Fengxia and Zhou Huilan were stunned.
But what she said was right, Aunt Fengxia followed and nodded, "Okay, listen to Changqing, I did your job." ”
"But ah, in fact, there is another way," Lu Changqing moved two steps towards Zhou Huilan and smiled, "Why don't you think about it again and marry me?" ”
Zhou Huilan's face turned red, she immediately thought of the embarrassing scene in the morning, put down the lunch box, turned her head and ran.
Although Yaoyao's matter has been settled for the time being, Zhou Huilan knows very well that this is not a long-term solution.
After staying in the back kitchen for a long time, she gradually understood that when Niu Guangde was in charge of the back kitchen in the past, he didn't have to sit in the back kitchen every day, he only made those few good dishes, and most of the remaining ordinary dishes were made by the apprentices below, but now the red case in the store and Niu Guangde are brothers, and the age is there, so it is obviously unrealistic for him to listen to Zhou Huilan's call.
However, the matter of finding an apprentice is also marked in Zhou Huilan's heart.
The business of Donghua Restaurant, because of Zhang Yongqiang's network and the original foundation, has made steady progress and developed very well.
In addition, the weather is getting colder, Zhou Huilan added seasonal nourishing medicinal food to the recipe, and the number of repeat customers is increasing, and when it is time to eat, the store is always full.
But the small restaurant not far from them is also doing good business.
Zhou Huilan has been to it a few times, and the small restaurant has also changed its signboard, and it is called "Niu Ji Restaurant" in an open and honest manner, Niu Guangde is in charge, and many old customers from the former state-run hotel have heard the news and have gone a lot.
The two restaurants are close to each other, but because Zhang Yongqiang has always been a high-end restaurant, although there is competition, there is no conflict.
In the evening of this day, the restaurant had just started to be mastered, and the orders of the first table of guests had just been delivered to the back kitchen, and Zhou Huilan was about to start stir-frying, but she heard a noise, followed by a door knock, and she heard her name.
It was Lu Fengxia, Zhou Huilan's heart didn't feel tight, and she dropped the spatula and greeted her.
Aunt Fengxia was trembling all over, and she held Zhou Huilan's hand tightly, "Huilan! Yaoyao, Yaoyao is gone! ”
