Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode

When Liao Chu habitually opened the curtains and wanted to see the people on the eighth floor opposite, he was shocked to find that the brief separation was so unbearable.

He is used to watching the cat-eyed young man wrap himself into a ball every morning, his eyes squinted after eating something he likes, his hair trembling like waves when walking in the sun...

Habits are a terrible thing.

Before he was alone, he didn't feel anything.

But now...

Humans are indeed greedy creatures.

As long as you have tasted a little bit of sweetness, you will no longer be willing to endure the original bitterness.

"Uncle," Guoguo walked over rubbing his eyes, "When will Teacher Yuyu come back?"

Liao Chu rubbed the little girl's furry head, "Come on, don't you like yesterday's aunt?"

After all, he wanted to open a shop, so he wanted to find a reliable aunt to take care of the children on weekends and holidays.

But it seems that no matter what field, reliable talents are hard to come by.

Occasionally, there are one and a half, which must be robbed.

After finally selecting one with a high customer rating, Liao Chu made an appointment to meet at Liao Kee Restaurant.

But who would have thought that the always lively Guoguo suddenly fell silent.

No matter how much the aunt teases, she is not happy, and she even wants to cry in the end.

Guoguo buried her little face in his arms, and said sullenly, "Guoguo doesn't want auntie."

Liao Chu squatted down and looked into her eyes, "Uncle won't leave Guoguo behind."

The little girl pursed her lips, but still insisted: "No auntie."

Liao Chu sighed, "But uncle can't stay with you all the time."

Guoguo sniffed, water splashed in her eyes, "Guoguo, Guoguo is a brave child, Guoguo will take care of herself, woohoo."

She rubbed her eyes with her little hands, "Also, there is Teacher Yuyu..."

Liao Chu was startled, then laughed, "But he's busy too."

Guoguo blinked, and big tears rolled down her face.

Guoguo is a brave child.

You can't cry casually.

But the sadness and fear are so great.

She held back for a long time, but finally raised her face and burst into tears.

"Woooo, don't want auntie, don't want auntie!"

Seeing a child cry is more painful than piercing my own heart.

Liao Chu had no choice but to pick up the little girl with one hand, and wiped her face with a tissue, "Okay, let's not have auntie first."

When she occasionally asked Aunt Zhao and Liu Xi to take care of her, Guoguo didn't have such a big reaction...

Guoguo was sobbing violently, but she was still able to focus on the key points.

"In the future, in the future, don't..."

Liao Chu couldn't help but laugh, he didn't know whether to praise her for being sharp, or to despise this little thing for being stubborn.

That's all, let's talk about it later.

The sudden sadness made the little girl cry uncontrollably, and she hugged her uncle's neck and wailed loudly.

Liao Chu soon felt his neck was wet.

tears?

Maybe a little snot and drool.

He wanted to put Guoguo down to talk, but the little girl became more sensitive and hugged her neck tightly and did not let go.

He also kicked his chubby legs like white radish twice to express his protest.

In desperation, he had no choice but to walk around the room with the child in his arms, patted her on the back, and said comforting words.

A little headache.

Liao Chu subconsciously looked at the eighth floor opposite.

It seems that when Yu Yu is around, Guoguo is always happy.

How should children be coaxed?

People just can't help talking.

When Liao Chu transferred to the fourth circle, Yu Yu made a video call to him.

Liao Chu breathed out almost instinctively, and answered in seconds.

Unexpectedly, the moment the picture appeared, Yu Yu also let out a long breath.

"saved……"

The young man who covered himself so that only his eyes were exposed said almost gratefully.

Yu Yu went skating with some classmates today.

Said they were classmates, but in fact, they had never met each other.

But because it was suggested by the instructor, I had to do it.

Most of the people who choose to do a part-time Ph.D. can barely say that they have a successful career. Except for Yu Yu, the youngest is 28 years old.

The huge age difference makes the already scarce common topics quickly become dull.

Several people chatted awkwardly from the moment they got in the car. After waiting for two traffic lights, the car was dead silent.

Everyone swiped their phones neatly.

Later at the skating rink, everyone seems to have found their way out:

After an appointment for a meeting time, and a simple yet embarrassing farewell, everyone dispersed.

Yu Yu was so cold that tears were about to come out, and he laughed bitterly at the camera: "I don't know how to skate..."

Skiing is still covered with soft snow.

This is really ice, so hard, it won't break even if you drop it?

The original intention of the mentor is good, let the young people communicate more, maybe they can help and support each other in the future.

However, he forgot that age difference is relative:

In the eyes of 60-year-olds, people in their 30s and [-]s are young people.

But in the eyes of young people in their 30s and [-]s, there is a gap between the three-year-old generation... let alone strangers who have never communicated with each other before.

He wanted to continue talking, but found that something was wrong on the other side, "What's wrong with Guoguo?"

Routuanzi, who was sobbing hard, seemed to have been pressed the pause button.

The little girl raised her head hesitantly, "Mr. Yuyu?"

She seems to have heard Teacher Yuyu talking.

Liao Chu patted her little butt, "Should we continue to cry or talk to Teacher Yuyu?"

Guoguo turned around, saw the person on the phone screen clearly, and immediately made a choice:

She can cry and talk at the same time!

"Teacher Yuyu!" The little girl's sobs that had stagnated just now suddenly rose a second time.

Holding the mobile phone in both hands, she almost pressed her wet little face to it, so sad that she couldn't extricate herself.

If he hadn't seen Liao Chu's stunned expression behind him, Yu Yu would have thought that something serious had happened.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yu comforted patiently, "What happened, can you tell me?"

Guoguo choked up violently, and complained, "Uncle, Uncle is looking for Auntie!"

Yu Yu: "...Huh?"

Who is looking for auntie?

What is your uncle looking for?

What aunt?

Liao Chu's eyelids twitched violently, "It's the nursing aunt who takes care of the children every day."

After a pause, he added, "Four is 50 years old."

He didn't even know why he had to explain.

Yu Yu sighed, "It's normal for a child to feel insecure. This matter mainly depends on her personal wishes. If she is forced, it may have the opposite effect."

Everyone has a rebellious mentality.

The child's thoughts are relatively simple, if you blindly impose it, it will only make her more resistant.

With the mobile phone to distract her, Guoguo was finally willing to get out of Liao Chu's arms.

The nephew and uncle moved to the sofa and chatted on the screen of the mobile phone.

Liao Chu frowned, "I've decided to put it on hold for now."

Fortunately, Guoguo is now more than four years old and has the basic self-care ability.

As long as I get through these two years, I don't need any aunts anymore.

If she really doesn't like it, don't look for it.

It's a big deal to work harder.

Guoguo looked over with tearful eyes, "What is creaking?"

Liao Chu laughed, and wiped her face again, "It means shelving, which means giving up temporarily. If Guo Guo really doesn't like Auntie, then Uncle won't look for her for the time being."

The little girl blew her nose on the tissue in his hand, her nose was bright red.

"What is temporary?"

The problems with the cubs really abound.

Liao Chu thought helplessly.

Seeing Liao Chu's embarrassment, Yu Yu on the other side of the phone said in a timely manner: "Look, Guoguo, what a big lake, isn't it beautiful?"

The camera of the mobile phone was lifted high and then looked down at an angle. You can see a huge lake frozen into a hard ice surface.

Countless tourists stepped on the ice blades to shuttle, splashing fine ice foam.

The willows on the shore only have bare dry branches, and the winter sun slanted down, dyeing the entire icy lake in a faint golden color, shining brightly.

Like a huge piece of amber.

Guoguo couldn't care less about crying.

"Why is there no water in the lake?"

"Because it's too cold, it's freezing."

"Is there any fish in the water? Will the little fish be cold..."

The two chatted back and forth for a long time, and in the end Guoguo broke through tears and laughed.

It was very cold standing there, so Yu Yu went to the shore to rent an ice bicycle.

He fixed the mobile phone on the front rack of the car and kicked it up.

"How are you doing over there?" Liao Chu finally found an opportunity to talk about adult topics.

After riding the bicycle for a while, Yu Yu felt a little hot, so he pulled down the scarf a little.

"It's okay, it's just..." He thought for a while, then smiled, "It's just that the food is a bit salty."

He never knew he was such a family lover before.

Yes, even a small rented house already has the meaning of home to him.

It was so cold, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and white steam gushed out of his mouth, like a walking humidifier.

Liao Chu laughed, "Drink more water."

As soon as the words came out, both of them froze for a moment, and then laughed together.

This is really too much like a dead straight man.

"By the way," Yu Yu scratched his hair, a little embarrassed, "I may have to go back one day late, and there is a rare lecture here the day after tomorrow, and I want to go and listen to it."

Liao Chu was silent for a while, and said quietly: "If I knew it earlier, I would bring you some dry goods."

Yu Yu burst out laughing, "It's okay, it's only four days, and it's over by gritting your teeth."

In fact, the capital is so big, what is there?

As long as you look hard, you can always find a meal that suits your taste.

But for one thing, he didn't want to appear too out of place;

Secondly... there is no one around who cares, no matter what you do, you will not be able to get excited.

Liao Chu said: "Renren, I'll cook something delicious for you when I come back."

Yu Yu's eyes burst out with the familiar light again, "What's delicious?"

Liao Chu smiled and suppressed a smile, "Stewed vermicelli with pork and sauerkraut, or dumplings with sauerkraut, authentic Northeast cuisine."

Most of the Northeast dishes are not very attractive, but they are most suitable for familiar people to get together and eat together.

Yu Yu hissed, "I want to eat it now!"

In the next few days, the old diners noticed that Boss Liao seemed a little absent-minded.

He has almost become a young man with a new Internet addiction, checking his mobile phone every few minutes.

Or, just look at the door.

As if waiting for someone.

Sometimes when there is movement on the phone, he will reply quickly with a smile on his face.

Sometimes not, the two sword eyebrows are tightly knit, wishing to carve a Sichuan character in the middle.

Chinese New Year is coming soon, family members reminded him three or four times a day, Zhi Zhi had no choice but to pack his luggage, dragging the suitcase to Liao Kee restaurant, to eat the last lunch before the year.

But I heard that the boss will close tomorrow, from the 26th of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, a full ten days.

It seems useless to stay here...

Thinking of this, Zhizhi became happy again.

Because the door is closed during the Chinese New Year, all the old diners have been hit hard. These days, there are swarms of bees rushing to buy air-dried chicken, duck and sausages.

In addition, various emotional fruit wines are also selling well.

There are always parties during the Chinese New Year, or you can avoid the excitement and drink alone. It is beautiful to think about it.

"Boss, are all the dry goods I ordered packed?"

Zhizhi rubbed his hands together and asked, "There's still wine."

Liao Chu asked someone to take her to pick it up, and before leaving the door, he also gave an extra huge snack box.

The surface of the box is pasted with blessing paper with red background and black characters, and cross flowers are made with hemp rope, which brings out the simple and simple taste.

There are a total of [-] kinds of snacks, each with two pieces.

Egg yolk crisps, jujube flower cakes, mung bean cakes, pea yellows, shortbread...

It is almost the most popular dim sum list of Liao Kee Restaurant since the opening of the physical version.

There was a squeak, and I was very moved, "Boss~"

Liao Chu said coldly: "Don't think too much, there are several old customers."

Zhizhi immediately made an exaggerated bitter face, beat his chest and said, "I thought I could bring my boyfriend home this year! Boss, don't you really think about it?"

Liao Chu refused immediately.

Squeak: "..."

In fact, there is no need to reply in such a timely manner.

After sending off the last guest, the outside has already been covered with snow, and the snow is flying all over the sky.

Liao Chu gave the restaurant employees an extra month's salary and sealed a red envelope, "Happy New Year."

Everyone said in unison: "Boss, Happy Chinese New Year, business is booming!"

Guan Wenjing squeezed the thick red envelope, feeling a burst of fire in her heart.

As long as you do it seriously, you can save enough down payment in a few years!

The house doesn't need to be too big, just seventy or eighty square meters is fine...

Hu Hai thought, he must continue to work hard in the coming year.

As long as he is willing to work hard, maybe one day, the boss will be able to accept him as an apprentice!

The snow was too heavy, Guoguo walked crookedly, but he was very interested.

"Uncle, is Teacher Yuyu coming back tomorrow?"

Liao Chu nodded, feeling a little more excited.

"Ah."

Come back, it's time to cook noodles.

Thinking of this, Liao Chu who walked downstairs looked up.

It's the Chinese New Year, and many empty rooms have been filled by returning wanderers.

Orange light seeps out from the small glass grids, like spots of light in the dark night. '

But only a few windows on the eighth floor of that building were still dark.

Like an empty monster's mouth, no matter how much cold air it swallows, it still feels hungry.

Guoguo followed suit and sighed like a grown-up, "Teacher Yuyu hasn't come back yet!"

Liao Chu hummed, and took the children home, "Let's go."

The warm room is isolated from the wind and snow, but it looks more and more empty.

Liao Chu took off his coat, washed his hands with Guoguo, carefully applied children's cream, and sent the little girl to practice erhu.

Don't let the holidays go to waste!

Uncle Song said that after a while, you can take the children to the exam.

Although the certificate cannot be completely linked to the skill level of the performer.

But in this era that values ​​the sense of ritual, it would be more convenient to have a certificate.

Liao Chu opened the "Liaoji Restaurant Dharma Guardian Group", which made his eyes hot every time he looked at it, wished everyone a happy New Year, and then distributed 1888 red envelopes.

The group owner was the first to jump out to grab it, but a screenshot was sent after a few seconds:

"78..."

Ji Peng typed a series of exclamation marks and question marks:

"This unscientific!"

Eight people, with an average of more than 200 yuan per person, and he only grabbed a few dozen yuan!

Everyone snatched up one after another, there were more than 100, and there were more than 300.

After everyone sees their own amount, they will @集主.

"The child is still young, what do you need so much money for?"

"Come on, my sister will keep it for you."

"I think back then, our monthly salary was only a few dozen dollars..."

Zhizhi is the last one to see, there is no need to choose at all, just click to open the last red envelope:

"Congratulations on becoming today's lucky king."

She let out a wild laugh.

then:

"Member Zhizhi was banned by the group leader."

Squeak: "..."

People clerk?

Qingjiang City banned fireworks and firecrackers a few years ago.

However, there are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom, and electronic fireworks came into being.

When Liao Chu was watching cartoons with Guoguo at home, he heard the eerie sound of electronic fireworks outside.

Also very divided into varieties.

"Whoo~bang!"

It's that big firework.

"Squeak ~ snap!"

It's a second kick.

"Chichi~"

It is a gentle little firework.

Liao Chu felt a little funny.

The busier it was outside, the lonelier it seemed inside.

Liao Chu couldn't help opening Yu Yu's circle of friends, and found that there was only one big word:

"cold."

He burst out laughing.

Such a person who is afraid of the cold, but wants to go north in winter, it is really embarrassing for him.

Huang Lie complained in the circle of friends of the three of them, with a little bit of Versailles.

"I wanted to go to an island in the southern hemisphere for vacation with Lao Bai, but he actually wanted to attend the awards ceremony..."

After speaking, he also dropped a live link.

Bai He's physical and mental condition has improved a lot this year, his mood is stable, and he can already attend public events.

If he doesn't show up, he will act, and once he shows up, he will never go empty-handed:

Last year, the theme song he composed for a TV series won the most popular film and television opera award of the year, and "Light and Shadow", which he composed and sang, also won the best song of the year, also known as the annual Golden Melody Award.

In addition, the song "Hundred Flavors" he wrote in Liao Kee Restaurant became popular as soon as it was put on the shelves, and the score was very high.

If there are no accidents, even next year's annual Golden Melody Trophy can be booked in advance.

In Huang Lie's words: "Only relying on the copyright fee and share of this song, he can live on for a few more years..."

Although it is not ruled out that the person who is photographed by the camera is ten catties fatter, Liao Chu always feels that Bai He has indeed grown a little fleshy, and his face is also a little more bloody.

Look, it looks like a living person.

It's just that he still doesn't fit in with the feasting entertainment circle.

He came to the stage to accept the award, and did not prepare any decent acceptance speech.

After thanking a bunch of staff members in a normal manner, he changed the subject, "Here, I would like to thank my two friends in particular. You may have heard of them. If anyone wants to change jobs, you can find Huang Lie; If you want to eat, you can find Liao Chu..."

Such words were said seriously by Bai He on such an occasion, adding a bit of black humor.

Everyone on and off the stage also knew that he was not good at socializing, so they didn't think there was anything wrong, and they all laughed in good faith.

Later, the host came to the stage and joked with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen someone advertise for free at our party. This is a big loss."

Huang Lie shouted in the group, "I raised people like this, it's so awesome..."

Just as Liao Chu was about to yell at him, he heard someone knocking on the door.

He was stunned.

At this time, who will it be?

When he got up and walked there, a guess floated in his mind.

The answer made his heart beat faster, but he didn't dare to grasp it.

He had already booked a ticket for tomorrow morning.

What if not...

The moment the door was opened, cold air rushed in, matching the smile of the cat-eyed young man.

Like a little sprout emerging from the frozen soil in winter.

He seemed to be walking in a hurry.

It was so cold, and the snow was so heavy that it almost turned into ice.

But his face was flushed red, tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and his rosy mouth was slightly opened due to the rapid breathing.

Rose honey-like emotions spread quickly, like substance.

With a palpable urgency.

Liao Chu's eyes widened slightly, with suppressed emotions frantically rolling in the bottom of them.

That feeling is too strong, like the unsealed river water during the spring flood, constantly washing away the wall.

But the "wall" made of ice was already crumbling.

Yu Yu settled down, took a breath, and said with a smile, "I'm back to celebrate the New Year with you!"

The wall called reason collapsed in an instant, and spring water rushed down.

Liao Chu stepped forward suddenly, and hugged him gently, almost reverently.

"Welcome home."

Yu Yu's heart seemed to tremble.

He hesitated for a while, slowly raised his hand, and lightly patted the opponent's back twice.

"Well, I'm back."
