Boss Xia's Lobster Restaurant

"Xia Qingyang? Xia Qingyang! Wake up~" Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice with a small milky voice calling him, um, Xia Qingyang was so exhausted that he nearly collapsed after handing out leaflets in the pedestrian street for three hours under the sun at noon After finally getting a salary of 150 yuan, Xia Qingyang took the discounted bread bought from the supermarket and found a place to lie down and rest at random in the mobile business hall of the pedestrian street. Although it is noisy here, there is air conditioning after all, so it can be comfortable At this point, if he went back to the small single room he rented, he would only be able to blow on the electric fan.

Xia Qingyang remembered that he fell asleep in the business hall, why... ho!What the hell is this place? !

There was a pitted muddy ground under his feet, a small wooden stool under his buttocks, and several cracks in the old brick wall next to him. A cool wind with the scent of green grass was blowing... Then, Xia Qingyang saw it. A face that I will never forget in my life——

That was the face of my best friend Cheng Youan 20 years ago!

However, Cheng Youan, who was only nine years old at this time, still had some baby fat on Yuanyuan's face, looking silly...

"Xia Qingyang, you're finally awake!" Little Zheng Tai Cheng You'an patted his little heart, "You've been sleeping since your lunch break. Fortunately, the first period is a self-study class, otherwise the teacher will definitely punish you."

Xia Qingyang: "..."

what happened?Didn't Cheng Youan die two years ago?

Xia Qingyang and Cheng Youan met when they were in the third grade of elementary school.Originally, their family lived pretty well in the city. My parents had been setting up stalls in the vegetable market to sell vegetables. Both myself and my younger brother were studying at a nearby school for migrant children. Who knew that one morning when my father was driving a tricycle to buy goods, he encountered When it came to the car accident, the damned perpetrator ran away in the dark. Because there was no monitoring, Dad Xia couldn't get compensation, and the high medical expenses almost used up the savings of the couple for more than ten years.

There is no way, my father needs to recuperate from his injuries, and my mother can't maintain the vegetable stall in the city alone, and renting a house costs money. In order to save money for my father to see a doctor, my mother can only take her and my younger brother back to my hometown, and I also transfer to my younger brother. To the primary school in my hometown.

It was at this time that he met Cheng Youan, the best friend in his life.

Later, Cheng Youan's mother couldn't bear the poverty of the family and ran away with others. He had no money to continue his studies, so he was introduced to a repair shop as an apprentice. It was there that Cheng Youan was involved in a machine because of an accident. , died tragically on the spot...

Xia Qingyang still remembers the scene when he rushed back to send Cheng Youan off for the last time: in the bleak rural cemetery, Grandma Cheng sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man, crying so much that she wished she could go with her grandson, while he stood blankly in front of the tombstone, Looking at the bright smiling face in the black and white photo that will always stay at the age of 17, I can't cry anymore...

Xia Qingyang remembered Cheng Youan's kindness to him:

When he was in elementary school, his family was so poor that he couldn’t even bear to eat rice. Every time Cheng You’an’s grandma made white rice, he tried every means to find an excuse so that he could have a good meal;

When I was in junior high school, I was still gnashing my teeth and studying, but Cheng Youan could only go out to work as an apprentice because his mother left and the family had no money. Even though he only had a meager 600 yuan a month for living expenses, he would buy himself a pair every time he came back. Box of my favorite instant noodles...

Xia Qingyang still remembered the last phone call between himself and Cheng You'an. It seemed that his mother said that he would find a girl for him in the village, so that he could find time to go back to the blind date, and he called him to ask him what to do?

Then, no more...

After Cheng Youan's death, Xia Qingyang didn't go on blind dates anymore, and worked hard every day. Except for a little living expenses, the rest of the money he earned was sent home to his parents. He had to work hard to save money, see a doctor for his father, and build a house for his younger brother. Marry a wife...

He refused to go home on the pretext of saving money, but in fact, he just didn't dare to pass by the cemetery where Cheng Youan was buried...

But now, looking at the little Zhengtai in front of him who still has baby fat and is innocent and ignorant of the hardships of life, Xia Qingyang suddenly laughed——

very nice!He is back!

Back when I first met Cheng Youan, everything was beautiful, everything was still in time, except...he was really hungry!

"Didn't you eat enough at noon? Hehe~~ It's okay! See what I brought you?" Cheng Youan secretly took out a bag of little raccoon crispy noodles from his schoolbag, and took out a piece of browned and crispy white sugar rice crust from inside .

"My grandma gave me the kang's crispy rice at noon, and specially left you the piece with the most sugar! Here it is!" Cheng Youan quietly stuffed the bag from the table belly into Xia Qingyang's hand, "Let's go to the small forest behind for self-study later, you Don't eat it in the classroom, the monitor will scold you again if you see it."

"...En!" Xia Qingyang vaguely agreed, and deliberately buried his head in his bent arms, unable to hold back the tears.

very nice!His Cheng Youan is still alive and well!

In this life, even if he tried his best, he would never let this guy make the same mistakes again!His Cheng You'an, like all smart and kind people, should have the brightest future, the healthiest body, and...the most beautiful wife!

"Dangdangdangdang~~" There was a quaint iron knocking sound from the principal's office. There is no electric bell in the school, and the bells for class and class are all manually operated by the principal. It was still left over from beating devils during the Anti-Japanese War, and it also has a legendary and historical status in the school. In the eyes of a bunch of kids who worship heroes, that piece of iron is as authoritative as the principal!

"Xia Qingyang, let's go!" Hearing the bell for the end of get out of class, Cheng Youan hurriedly dragged Xia Qingyang and ran out, carrying a soda bottle and a simple water bottle made from hemp rope in his hand.

Behind the school is a piece of Metasequoia tree, which is the treasure of the old principal. It is said that it has been planted for many years, and it is waiting to sell the Metasequoia tree to build some new classrooms for the school!

However, today it is a paradise for school children to play on weekdays.

Cheng Youan pulled Xia Qingyang behind a clump of wolfberry trees behind the metasequoia forest, and stood aside to watch out for the wind, telling him to eat the crispy rice quickly.The children in the village are all greedy. If someone finds out and eats one mouthful each, Xia Qingyang won't be able to eat much.

Watching Xia Qingyang swallow the last mouthful of rice crust, Cheng Youan hurriedly handed over the water bottle in his hand and asked him to drink a few sips of water. Although rice crust was delicious, his mouth would dry out if he ate too much, so drinking more water would make him feel better.

The schools in the village are much more relaxed than those in the city. The self-study class in the afternoon is followed by the physical education class. Seeing Cheng Youan rushing across 100 meters like a little leopard, Xia Qingyang squatted under the big sycamore tree and smiled very warmly.

However, he soon stopped laughing——

It was his turn to run 100 meters, but the shoes under his feet were not strong enough, and only halfway through the run, the rickety sole of his right foot came off the upper. Xia Qingyang stood on the playground with one foot blankly, and heard There was a burst of laughter, and I couldn't help myself from laughing too.

"Okay! It seems that the most urgent thing is to make some money first!" Xia Qingyang, who was called down by the physical education teacher, squatted under the plane tree, listening to Cheng Youan comforting him in his ears, and thinking about how to do it Earn some money to spend.

After all, Xia Qingyang couldn't help frowning when he thought of the past when his younger brother was forced to drop out of school because of lack of money at home.

In the previous life, because my father needed to see a doctor in the past two years, the family couldn't even afford the tuition fees of several hundred yuan a year for myself and my younger brother. Due to helplessness, my mother had to let the younger brother temporarily drop out of school and stay at home. Later, Although the younger brother returned to school, but after all, the age difference with the children of the same grade was too great to be able to play together. The younger brother lost interest in going to school, and arguing not to study as soon as he graduated from elementary school. The mother also because the family really had no money, I didn't force him to read anymore.

Because of this, even when my younger brother and I went out to work, because of our low education, we could only go to the construction site to do small jobs. Later, we were forced to leave the construction site because of a leg injury and returned to our hometown to work in agriculture. At such a young age, I was exhausted. It looks like a person in his 30s and [-]s, because his family is poor and he has never been able to find a wife.

In this life, he will never let his younger brother drop out of school again! ! !
