Chapter 175: I hope that Mr. Zhang will not shirk
The old lady didn't cry for long, and when the waiter Cao Min brought the third course to the table, the old lady wiped the tears from her face and began to adjust her mood.
When he looked up, he squeezed out a smile and whispered: "The taste of this mutton steamed dumpling is indeed very similar to the taste that your father made back then, you can all taste it! Ah Cai, you can also taste one! Your father made a whole sheep feast, you haven't eaten it yet!"
The two sons and two daughters-in-law immediately agreed to take chopsticks to pick up steamed dumplings.
The two daughters-in-law are okay, they are too sad, but the two sons, Mr. Zhang and Acai brothers, are still immersed in sadness.
Therefore, you can imagine what it is like to eat mutton steamed dumplings in their mouths.
They may think it tastes good, but neither of them can be surprised by the taste of this steamed mutton dumpling.
......
Time passes.
The twelve courses of the whole sheep feast have all been served on the table, the old lady actually eats very little, and her two sons and daughters-in-law do not eat much, and the main purpose of their coming here today is not to enjoy the food.
They try every dish, but the main thing is to taste it.
It's more about being immersed in emotions of remembrance and sorrow.
In contrast, although the old lady who died soon after she cried tonight, her mood after that was the calmest, with a faint smile on her face all the time.
From time to time, I looked at the whole sheep banquet on the table, and I was stunned.
Possible...... This all-sheep banquet really reminded her of a lot of past events with her husband!
Xu Tongdao, who has been cooking in the kitchen, has long heard the story of this family.
It was Xu Tonglin who quietly came to the kitchen and whispered in his ear.
I heard that the old mother that Mr. Zhang brought today is about to pass away, and Mr. Zhang brought her here today for a regret.
Xu Tongdao also felt surprised.
How could that be?
The whole sheep banquet he made could still help an old lady, but a regret before he died?
Rao is a human being in his two lives, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
In addition to being surprised, I also admired Mr. Zhang's filial piety.
In life, everyone's parents will die one day.
Before the old man died, it was normal for him to have regrets in his heart.
But how many children can do it like Mr. Zhang?
Not to mention others, before he was reborn, before his mother Ge Xiaozhu died, he also had a lot of regrets in his heart, but he had the heart to let his mother go without regrets, or with fewer regrets.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because of his mother's regret before her death, it was not what she wanted to eat, but that her three children were not doing well, which he simply could not make up for.
I could only watch my mother die with regret.
Waiver of Mr. Zhang's family's meal today?
This thought flashed through Xu Tongdao's mind, but reason told him that there was no point in doing so.
Because Mr. Zhang's family doesn't seem to be bad for money, a whole sheep banquet is not even a dime a dozen for them.
But Xu Tongdao listened to the affairs of their family, and always wanted to express his heart.
Because he really admires that Mr. Zhang.
Because of this thought, he told Xi Dongyang to pay attention to Mr. Zhang's family in the front hall, and when Mr. Zhang's family paid the bill and was ready to leave, they told him.
He couldn't wait in the antechamber all the time.
He still has to cook food, and there are customers in the store again.
......
More than an hour later, Xi Dongyang came to Xu Tongdao's side and reminded in a low voice: "Xiaodao, Mr. Zhang and their family have paid the bill." ”
When Xu Tongdao heard this, he temporarily put down the work on his hands, picked up a rag and wiped his hands, and at the same time instructed Xi Dongyang, "Brother Xi, help me get a packing box!
Not long after, Xu Tongdao came out of the kitchen with a packing box.
At this time, Mr. Zhang had just buried the order and turned around to leave.
His younger brother Ah Cai supported the old lady.
"Mr. Zhang, please wait a minute!"
Xu Tongdao's words made Mr. Zhang's family stop and look back.
Mr. Zhang frowned, "Is there anything else? Little master? Is the account wrong?"
Xu Tongdao walked quickly to him, shook his head, and handed the packing box in his hand to Mr. Zhang, "No! Mr. Zhang, it's not a matter of accounting, I heard that you and your mother like my mutton steamed dumplings here, this is a steamed dumpling I just packed for you, it's not worth much, it's just a little heart, and I hope Mr. Zhang won't shirk it, give it!"
Everyone at the scene was amazed.
In addition to the play Dongyang at the kitchen door and the dishwashing aunt Huangmei.
Mr. Zhang frowned and looked at Xu Tongdao, then looked back at his mother, the old lady smiled faintly at him, and said nothing.
Mr. Zhang retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Tongdao again, "Do you want money for me?"
Xu Tongdao hummed, and handed the packing box in his hand closer to him.
Mr. Zhang looked down at the foam packing box in Xu Tongdao's hand, a faint complicated smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he reached out to take it.
After raising his head, he said to Xu Tongdao: "Little master, thank you!
As he spoke, he patted Xu Tongdao's arm, nodded, and turned to leave.
Xu Tongdao smiled and said, "A few slow walks!"
Before leaving, the old lady showed a kind smile to Xu Tongdao, and also said: "Young man, thank you, I wish you a prosperous business!"
......
Mr. Zhang's family is gone.
Xu Tonglin, Huang Mei, Cao Min, and Fang Fang all subconsciously gathered beside Xu Tongdao, and their eyes were still looking at the figure of Mr. Zhang's family getting into the car.
Xu Tonglin whispered: "This old lady is actually very blessed, the two sons seem to be very well mixed, and the two daughters-in-law are also so foreign." ”
Huang Mei: "Yes! An old woman is indeed very blessed to be able to live to her family's share." ”
Cao Min: "I think she is amazing, listening to what their family just said, her man died very early, and she can raise her two sons so well with a grandmother, it's really amazing!"
Fang Fang: "Her family's conditions are so good, maybe her illness can be cured well!"
Xu Tongdao did not participate in their topic, all he was thinking about at this time was before he was reborn, before and after his mother's death.
So looking at the picture of Mr. Zhang and his younger brother helping the old lady to get into the car, Xu Tongdao felt very complicated.
He also felt that this old lady was very powerful, and it was not easy to raise her two sons to be what they are now after her husband died early.
But more ...... What he thinks is that his mother is not easy, and most mothers in the world are not easy.
I've been worrying about my children all my life.
When children become adults, there are very few things they can do for their mothers.
Mr. Zhang is okay, at least he has the ability to fulfill his filial piety, and he can try to make up for the regrets in his mother's heart before his mother dies.
Xu Tongdao hopes that he can do the same in this life, so that when his mother dies, the regret in his heart can be a little less, a little less!
