The world is cool

Zhou Cheng and the little lunatic finally got out of the turtle shell slowly, but their sleepy eyes were quickly ended by the unexpected guest.

"What's the situation?" The head of the little lunatic turned back and forth between me, Huahua and the strange boy like a wavy drum, "You two's illegitimate child?"

Zhou Cheng pulled back his unreliable family, looked at Hua Hua, and subtly raised the corner of his mouth: "Welcome back."

Huahua showed the second smile after meeting, but different from the slightly nervous excitement before, this time he was relaxed, like a child who has finally returned home, at ease and down-to-earth.

Damn Zhou Cheng is your mother!

"This is..." Zhou Cheng's eyes fell on the child.

The child bowed at ninety degrees without hesitation: "Hello, big brother!"

Zhou Cheng was amused by the situation: "My name is Zhou Cheng, just call me by my name."

The child thought for a while, then nodded: "Brother Zhou!"

The little lunatic poked his head out from behind, as if he thought the situation was very interesting, and said, "My name is Rong Kai."

The child lived up to expectations: "Brother Rong!"

The only thing left is that I didn't report to the family, and I can't break away from the masses, right?

"Hello, my name is Feng Yiyi."

The child stared at me blankly for two seconds, and suddenly repeated the old content in a louder voice than all the greetings before: "Hello, big brother!"

Zhou Cheng pushed me irresistibly: "It seems that you have been given special care."

To be honest, I don't need his special care at all. To be honest, I am inexplicably upset that there is an extra irrelevant person. To be honest, I really want to add who the hell are you!

"My name is Li Xiaobao, and I'm Dahua's younger brother!" The child seemed to hear my voice, and grinned heartlessly, "Dahua said his brother's name is Feng Yiyi, so you are my elder brother!"

Huahua came up and touched the child's head, with a gentle smile, then took out her mobile phone and started typing.

I waited patiently, as I have done countless times before.

"How slow are you doing this, let me tell you!" the child suddenly said.

Huahua paused, and after a while, she nodded towards the child in agreement.

The child laughed again, which was really cute.

I turned my eyes away, for some reason, I was not too happy to see them talking.Yes, although they didn't make a sound, they were talking with their eyes. This tacit understanding was like a thin dark cloud, which cast a light brown color on my joyful mood because of Huahua's return.

Li Xiaobao, male, from the province, lives in the countryside, met Huahua when he was studying art, and became close to him because he was a fellow villager, and because he entered the hotel half a year later than Huahua, he called himself a junior.Hearing that Huahua was coming back, and that Brother Huahua had a shop here, he begged Huahua to bring him back with him.First, being an apprentice is too hard, and you can't earn much money, and second, it's close to home, so it's convenient to go back to see your parents.

During the conversation, we had already sat on the sofa in the living room. After Li Xiaobao finished speaking, my thinking still didn't work smoothly.

This child will be with Huahua in the future?

The familiar SMS input interface was raised in front of me, and I raised my head. Huahua was thinner and darker than when she left. Before, there were some rounded contours on her face. From a certain angle, she looked like a boy in the past, but now she is completely Disappeared, the Huahua in my memory and the Huahua sitting in front of me at this moment can't overlap, I tried several times, it was very hard, but it still didn't work.

Maybe it was because I didn't respond for a long time, Huahua shook the phone again, and then I fixed my eyes on the words on it: Brother, you can take him in, okay? "

I do not know.

This is not a question of whether it will work, but an unplanned character suddenly appears out of thin air, completely messing up all the established scripts.

But what is my script?Hope Huahua comes back?Then what?

Actually, I don't have a script at all.I always try to let it be, to think that God will arrange everything anyway, and to...

Suddenly someone patted me on the back again, turned my head, it was Zhou Cheng.He didn't look at me, and his movements were very small and subtle, with a few light strokes, as if saying hello.But in fact, he was talking to Huahua: "After studying for so long, at least show us something."

"Yes yes yes, hurry up and I'm hungry!" Little Madman echoed sincerely.

Huahua readily agreed, got up and walked to the kitchen, knowing the way.

Li Xiaobao hurriedly followed: "Dahua, I'll help you!"

The little lunatic couldn't sit still any longer, and rushed over: "I want to order!"

"Take a look at what's in the refrigerator first." Zhou Cheng directed at the back that was running away, and then looked back at me, with a faint smile in his eyes, "It's quite a child, isn't it?" .”

My black line: "Yeah, I know you treat him like a treasure, so you don't need to boast to everyone."

Zhou Cheng frowned: "Who said Rong Kai, I said Li Xiaobao."

This time it was my turn to be embarrassed: "Hey, I thought... they are all good kids anyway, um, they are all good."

Not long after, the aroma of vegetables wafted out from the kitchen, making people hungry involuntarily.

Zhou Cheng and I met our eyes, and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes——Huahua really learned a lot in the past year and a half.

"I heard from Rong Kai that the restaurant's back kitchen is arguing for a salary increase," Zhou Cheng said suddenly, "it's better to take this opportunity to send people away and let them come in instead."

I hesitated a little: "Not so good..."

Zhou Cheng disagreed: "Don't worry, it's best to find a job for skilled workers these days, and since he asks for a salary increase, there must be someone from his peers who came to poach him."

I raised my eyebrows and asked silently, are you sure?

Zhou Cheng nodded his head lightly, and responded silently, please rest assured.

After talking about the serious matter, Zhou Cheng returned to his calm death look, and said leisurely, "So, can the child stay?"

I twitched the corner of my mouth: "Is this father so ruthless?"

Zhou Cheng smiled, and suddenly moved closer to me and lowered his voice: "He and Hua Diao have nothing to do."

Subconsciously, I wanted to ask "How do you know?" Fortunately, my head was one step ahead of my mouth and I braked in time. Instead, I asked with a cold eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Cheng shrugged, innocently: "It's not interesting."

Squinting my eyes, I gritted my teeth: "Pull down, you are interesting."

Zhou Cheng was amused, that's called a smile: "No matter what, I can't compare to you..."

The little lunatic stood in the living room with a plate of dishes and stared at me in a daze: "What kind of event is this? The pre-dinner cross talk grand prix?"

Huahua and the craftsmanship are the same on the outside, it smells good, and tastes even better. I originally thought that the current chef in the store has become a good cook, but comparing the two, without any selfishness, Huahua is still superior, or more than one.In a year and a half, Huahua has been honed from being able to cook to being a good cook, and from being a man to being a man.In the past, his eyes occasionally showed uncertainty, which was the fear of the future, anxiety about life, and other complex and indescribable emotions, but now Chef Hua is standing at the kitchen door smiling and waiting for the diners to review, No anxiety, more determination, no fear, more calm.

From immature to mature, this is an inevitable process in life. I think I should be happy for Huahua, but for some reason, I can't be happy.

Li Xiaobao's craftsmanship is obviously still at the stage of helping the cook, but his knife skills are really good, the shreds and dices are neat and beautiful, and my small restaurant does not need two chefs, so one is in charge of the spoon, and the other is cutting vegetables for side dishes , exactly.

Since it was decided to keep him, it was natural to arrange accommodation. Zhou Cheng and the little lunatic now shared a room, and the vacant room was reserved for Huahua and Li Xiaobao.

"Why don't you two stay in the same room?" When the little lunatic asked this, Huahua was moving pillows to the bed, I was helping to clean the window sill in the bedroom, Li Xiaobao was thinking about where to put his luggage in the closet, and Zhou Cheng was watching by the door .

After the words fell, the movements of the three people stopped——Zhou Cheng hadn't moved in the first place.

I swear that the little lunatic didn't pass through his brain, or he lost his memory!

The sudden silence has a magical power that stimulates people's nerves. The little lunatic looked at me, then at Huahua, then at Zhou Cheng, and suddenly laughed exaggeratedly twice: "Oh, you two are not in the right physique, look at Xiaobao. Save more space, just live with Huahua! Haha..."

Although his cover-up was clumsy, I'm still glad that the memory invaded him at the critical moment.

Everyone knows how Huahua left here, but client A is very natural, and client B is very cooperative, so the whole return scene looks like Huahua simply left to learn art, and then returned after finishing her studies.The past that was definitely not sunny a year and a half ago was deliberately covered up by the festive reunion, which is what everyone hoped for.

everything is fine.

The little lunatic didn't smoke to the end, I was so grateful that I wanted to kowtow to him.

I don't know what method Zhou Cheng used. Two days later, the two people in my kitchen resigned, and they were in a happy state of mind. They only had gratitude for me and no resentment.I have to sigh again for the brilliance of Zhou Cheng's wrist.The kitchen was empty, and Hua Hua and Li Xiaobao settled in naturally. After a few days, some regular customers reported that the taste of the dishes seemed to have changed.

Before Huahua came back, I didn't go to the store for a few days, because everything was on track, I went over from time to time to take a look, and it was over.But now that Huahua is back, after all, it still takes time to adapt, so I also became the shopkeeper and cashier again.Even if the little madman and Zhou Cheng have completely quit the restaurant business now, the finances are still the little madman's business, but I just need to take the account book back to him every month to fiddle with it.

Huahua and Li Xiaobao adapted faster than I expected. In just a week, the two of them became the new owners of the kitchen. They cooperated very well and didn't need my side help at all.Sometimes there were not many customers, and I was really bored sitting in front, so I ran to the back kitchen, but most of them were chatting with Li Xiaobao, because he thought Hua Hua was slow typing, so he always took Hua Hua's talk away.

One day a guest who likes spicy food came, so I took the dishes to the back kitchen and hoped that Huahua could help to return the pot, but I didn't expect to see him and Li Xiaobao making gestures with their hands, you gesture twice, I gesture twice, there is coming There is going, the atmosphere is pleasant.It took me a long time to realize that it was sign language.That was the first time I saw Huahua using sign language. I can say with certainty that he didn't know how to do it a year and a half ago, but now, he is very proficient in it. The most rare thing is that Li Xiaobao is also very proficient.I finally understood why Li Xiaobao was unwilling to wait for Huahua to type, because there was no need between them, they could talk and communicate in real time like us, so the ten seconds of writing seemed more and more long and unbearable.

About twenty days after Huahua came back, Zhou Cheng quietly rented the house next door, right across from us.I can understand that sleeping is a small problem for five people under one roof, but the bathroom in the morning is really disappointing. Besides, he and the little lunatic are now earning a lot, renting a house by themselves is easy.

On weekends, we gathered in Zhou Cheng's new house to celebrate the housewarming together, Huahua was in charge of cooking, and cooked a table of delicious dishes.

The little lunatic at the wine table was very happy, and reached out his hand to ask me for a red envelope: "Every housewarming celebration has to give the host a red envelope!"

Fortunately, my buddy was prepared, so Pa took one out of his pocket and patted his palm.

This time it was the little lunatic's turn to be stunned: "Damn, there really are!"

The red envelope is real, but it's not really for housewarming.I mentioned the dividends of the hotel before Huahua left, and I posted it a few times, but they were all trivial matters, not even the salary, let alone called dividends, and after Huahua left, the restaurant At one time, I fell into a business crisis because of my absence, and the matter of dividends was over.But it is different now, the restaurant is running stably, and there will be a lot left after deducting the operating costs and fixed mobile funds every month. If a lunatic wants to tinker with his own business, he also needs money.

I talked hard for a long time, Zhou Cheng and the little lunatic saw that I was determined, so they didn't give in and accepted everything.Only Huahua, life and death is shaking her head.

I was angry: "Why are you so hypocritical!"

Huahua lowered her head, like a child who made a mistake, and the time seemed to go back to the past in an instant. I am the big brother and he is the younger brother. If I stare at him, he will be terribly nervous.

After a while, he finally compromised and wrote to me silently: "I'll take it, but I don't need so much, just enough to spend."

I was angry, distressed and funny, just about to talk, Li Xiaobao, who had been watching for a long time, interjected: "There is not enough money to spend, besides, according to Dahua's current level, the salary of any big hotel outside is almost the same , the benefits are even better than this.”

The child is not malicious, I can feel it, but it is still embarrassing to be said so bluntly by a child, because he is telling the truth.

Huahua was not happy, she frowned and began to sign with sign language.

The child moved his lips, as if he wanted to refute, but after glancing at me, he also switched to sign language.

The two signed in sign language for about 5 minutes, and it finally came to an end. In the end, it should be Li Xiaobao who compromised, because the child put his arms down and was sullen.Huahua smiled and patted the other person's head helplessly.

It was the first time for Zhou Cheng and the little lunatic to see Huahua using sign language, so they were naturally surprised, but the former maintained his usual calmness, while the latter asked me quietly, "What's the situation?"

I didn't answer because the situation couldn't be more obvious.

I always thought that anyone in this world could do without me, Feng, but Huahua couldn't.Others lost me, and Zhang San and Li Si came to make up for it. Huahua lost me, where can I find someone who loves him and spoils him like this?But today I discovered that it's not that Huahua can't do without me, but the opposite.Others, whether Zhou Cheng or a little lunatic, met everyone and walked together. It was fate, and they helped each other if they could.But Huahua is different. From the day I recognized my younger brother, I put him in my life. There was a special place for him, and it was tightly stuck.

pain.
