On the day of the blind date, CEO Qianyi pulled me to get the certificate.

"If I don't cook tonight, I, an old man, can't cook anything delicious. I'll go to a restaurant in town to eat later."

Mr. Lin has already thought about it.

On weekdays, my wife cooks. He has never been in the kitchen and his cooking skills are average.

Since his wife is away these days, he almost always goes to town to get three meals a day.

Fortunately, it's not far from the town. It takes about ten minutes to walk and even closer to the town by bike. It only takes a few minutes.

"Are you hungry? Come on, let's go now."

After saying that, Mr. Lin stood up with a smile, followed by Fu Tingxuan.

"Go to the Zhouji restaurant where you like to eat, and let Xiaofu try our specialties."

"can."

Lin Qian replied with a smile.

Zhouji is an old store that has been open in town for many years. It was open when Lin Qian remembered it.

Zhouji is a beef hotpot restaurant. The beef is delivered fresh every morning. It is tender and delicious.

Business is booming every day. The customers here are not only locals, but also tourists from far away. It is often full by meal time.

It takes more than half an hour to wait for a table, but most people would rather sit outside and wait to have such a bite.

Zhou Ji was not far away, so Mr. Lin suggested walking over.

There is only one electric car at home, which cannot accommodate three people.

However, if Fu Tingxuan's car drove past, there would be no parking space there.

Thinking of saving trouble, walking is the most convenient way.

Along the way, when she met some familiar neighbors, Lin Qian smiled and nodded to say hello. Fu Tingxuan didn't recognize them, so she could only smile and nod.

Mr. Lin was very happy and excited.

"My granddaughter is back."

"Yes, that is my granddaughter's boyfriend. He is not bad looking."

His tone of voice was always proud.

Lin Qian always knew that her grandfather cared about her life-long affairs, but she never expected that her grandfather would care so much.

He is really happy today.

The last time her old man was so happy was the day she was admitted to college.

Lin Qian clearly remembered that during the summer vacation that year, she received the admission notice from the postal boy. Her grandfather was very happy. From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, he kept saying that his granddaughter was excellent and had been admitted to a good university.

Although it is not a top-notch university, it is still a key undergraduate program.

You must know that the Lin family has never produced any good college students before.

Lin Qian's aunt's son only went to junior college, and her uncle's son went to work after high school and didn't even go to college.

Therefore, only Lin Qian and her younger brother went to college in the family.

During the summer vacation of that year, grandpa originally wanted to hold a banquet for Lin Qian to enter college, but grandma was not happy and said it was a waste of money.

She never recognized Lin Qian.

Although Lin Qian had been obedient and sensible since he was a child, and his grades were excellent, his grandma only saw his younger brother and cousins.

No matter how naughty or bad they are, they are still grandma's darlings.

Not only did grandma disagree, but so did her parents.

Lin Qian didn't understand at the time that her parents actually didn't need the money to hold a college entrance banquet, but they just didn't support her grandfather's approach.

Is her daughter so shameless?

She worked hard to get into a good university and they didn't deserve to be proud of her.

Later, the college entrance banquet was still not held.

Grandpa took her to the town to have a good meal before school started.

In the entire Lin family, only grandpa was happy for her.

However, her aunt and uncle gave her a thousand yuan red envelope, but her parents remained silent.

Not even a word of happy blessing.

Lin Qian was also surprised.

Growing up, even if she had parents, it was as if she had no parents.

"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Noticing Lin Qian's absence, Fu Tingxuan couldn't help but express concern.

Only then did Lin Qian wake up from the memories of the past.

She smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing. Zhou Ji is right in front. I'll take you to try it today. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the beef hotpot there."

Although there are many beef hot pot restaurants opened in Pengcheng, some of which taste pretty good, Lin Qian still likes Zhou Ji the most.

Not only does it taste good, but what she misses more is the feeling.

"Then I have to give it a try to see if it's really as good as you said."

Ten minutes later, Mr. Lin walked to the door of the store with two young people.

A middle-aged man wearing a red apron standing at the door of the store smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, I thought you wouldn't come. This small box was almost given to someone else."

"I already told your dad, why don't you come?"

Mr. Lin put his hands behind his back and smiled.

Lin Qian looked at the man in the red apron in front of her. She was still somewhat impressed by him.

This is her elder brother who is three or four years older than her.

When she was little, her grandfather would occasionally take her here to eat beef hot pot, and her elder brother often helped in the shop.

If it's not lunch time, he sits in the corner and does his homework.

It seems that all families who open stores are like this.

But I heard from my grandfather that after graduating from college, this eldest brother went back to his hometown to take over classes from his family.

Although it's a bit hard work, but you can stay with your family and make money, so why not do it.

We hadn't seen each other for so many years that Lin Qian had forgotten his name.

The first two times she came back, she accompanied her grandfather, but the big brother was not around.

Lin Qian glanced at him a few more times, and Fu Tingxuan couldn't help but tease her.

"Looking at how focused you are, are you meeting your childhood sweetheart?"

Fu Tingxuan's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"Can you speak? He is already married and has children, and the children are in elementary school. What relationship can I have with him?"

Lin Qian glared at Fu Tingxuan. She thought he was quite nice, but why was he so unable to speak? She had to fight him back.

Fu Tingxuan smiled when he saw Lin Qian fuming. It was quite interesting to tease her occasionally.

The unknowing old man Lin looked back at the two of them when he heard the laughter, thinking that the two young men were just having fun.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Qian and Fu Tingxuan nodded and followed Mr. Lin inside.

At this time, the store was already full of customers, and everyone was chatting and laughing here, which was as lively as the steaming pot.

"Qianqian, take the menu and see what Tingxuan likes to eat."

Mr. Lin sat down and said.

"okay."

Lin Qian took the menu cards placed on the table and approached Fu Tingxuan, "Can you see if there is anything you like to eat, or can I order some of my usual favorites?"

"You can have some, I can do it."

Fu Tingxuan is not picky about food.

"You must have the hand-beaten beef balls, the chest, the handle of the spoon, the snowflake beef, the hanging dragon companion..."

Lin Qian wanted to check the ingredients on this side, mainly because everything was delicious and she wanted to take a bite of everything.

Anyway, there were three of us, so she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish everything she ordered.

Fu Tingxuan was not idle either, pouring tea for Mr. Lin and then for Lin Qian.

Then he sat there quietly and watched Lin Qian order.

This heartwarming scene made Mr. Lin on the side feel happy.
