Grandma Xiaochun noticed that there was one more person at this time. She glanced at Luo Qiu suspiciously. Shen then looked at Luo Qiu’s cousin Luo Shan and asked curiously, “Luo Shan, who is this?”
“It’s really Luo Qiu!”
Grandma Xiaochun quickly put down the bowl of noodles in her hand, then quickly wiped her hands on the apron hanging on her body, and walked directly to the front of Luo Qiu.
The old woman raised her head. She looked a little excited and grabbed Luo Qiu’s palm with both hands, “Come, let grandma take a good look at you. You are all grown up! Exactly! Exactly! You looked exactly like your dad!”
Grandma Xiaochun grabbed Luo Qiu’s palm tightly. Luo Shan, who was looking on, could even feel the grip.
Grandma Xiaochun dragged Luo Qiu into the kitchen at the back of the house while saying that.
Luo Shan and his wife looked at each other. His wife was quite nervous at this moment, “Husband, why did your mother suddenly… I still can’t figure out how she can look like a normal person? It scares me to death! Do you think that it is… terminal lucidity?
“How did I know?” Luo Shan shook his head, “She was so illed. The doctor in charge of the hospital said that she couldn’t be saved… But anyway, her appearance in high spirits is always better than her appearance yesterday… You go and inform them. Let them know about her situation. By the way, go and see if Shanshan is at work. She is also a doctor. Let her come and take a look first!”
…
Grandma Xiaochun opened the lid of the kitchen pot. It was steaming. Luo Qiu leaned over, flipped away the steam with his palm, and said with a smile, “It smells good.”
“It’s aromatic, right? Then eat more.” Grandma Xiaochun chirped, “Your father liked it the most when he was young.”
Grandma Xiaochun filled the bowl with some noodles and soup, and sighed, “But I can’t see him anymore. What a pity.”
She brought the big bowl to the front of Luo Qiu. Luo Qiu took it with both hands.
Grandma Xiaochun raised her head at this time, puckered with a smile, “My child, thank you for visiting me. If it weren’t for you, I’m too old that I might now…”
Luo Qiu shook his head gently.
Luo Qiu smiled and said, “Really?”
Grandma Xiaochun chuckled, “Don’t you think I mean it, kid?”
“I hear you then.” Luo Qiu nodded.
Grandma Xiaochun said, “Hurry up, the noodles won’t taste good when they are soaked. If time is running out, accompany grandma to pick some fresh osmanthus after you finish eating later. I will make some fillings. I will cook Tangyuan, let’s eat together tonight.”
“Okay.”
“Boss, I would like a bowl of plain noodles.” This was a breakfast stall on the road’s side in another village where he rented a house. The truck driving to the construction site had lifted dust at this time.
Dazhe gulped the free pickled, dried radishes… Basically, the people on the table next to him were like him. They would go to work on the construction site after they finished eating.
After a while, when Dazhe was halfway eating the noodles, he was patted on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw a fat man in a suit, with side-part shiny hair and a small leather bag under his arm.
The man was drinking with a pack of lemon tea holding in his hand. He smiled and sat down at this time, “Brother Zhe! I knew you were here!”
“Don’t tell me about your business. Leave if you have nothing to do. I have to work after I finish eating. I don’t have time to serve you.” Dazhe wanted to add chili sauce to the plain noodles. He didn’t even look at the fat man.
Big Head crossed his feet, took out the tissue, and kept wiping his leather shoes while saying.
Dazhe snorted and said calmly, “Wait for me? I think you are waiting to ambush me. I said, don’t look for me again. Last time was the last time. I have already said that clearly.”
“Brother Zhe, how can you say that I’m ambushing you?” Big Head stood up, “Well, stop eating the noodles. Come, brother, I will treat you to some gourmet food at Hongfu Building! Later I will find you a girl to chill you out at Yage!”
He stretched out his hand to pull Dazhe’s arm as he said, intending to pull him up. Dazhe frowned unexpectedly. He shook him off and said with a deep voice, “Big Head, what do you want to do? I said, don’t bother me. I will have to go to the construction site later!”
“At least it’s clean money.” Dazhe gave Big Head a cold look.
“Big Head!” Dazhe put his chopsticks on the table emphatically and scowled at him.
Big Head gently patted his mouth twice, “Brother Zhe, calm down, calm down.”
“I’m not angry with you.” Dazhe shook his head.
“Really? I know Brother Zhe, you are a generous and loyal good brother!”
“Leave me right away. I’m sure I won’t be angry with you,” said Da Zhe abruptly.
Dazhe frowned, shook his head, and said, “Go back and tell him that I’m not free. Let him find someone else.”
Dazhe put down three yuan on the table while saying that, stood up, and walked out.
At this moment, Big Head calmly looked at Dazhe’s back and said, “Dazhe, you have to think about it. My boss, President Xiao, wants to see you, so don’t put me in difficulties… You know President Xiao’s means, right?”
Dazhe turned around abruptly, “Big Head, what do you want to do?”
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. I just said it casually…” Big Head was full of cold sweat behind his back, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. “Brother Zhe, let’s eat and have a talk at Hongfu Building. What do you say?”
Big Head stretched out his hand nervously and patted Dazhe’s hand, which held his collar, “Brother Zhe, Brother Zhe?”
Dazhe pushed Big Head away, turned around, and walked towards a black Passat parked next to the breakfast stall.
Big Head breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out his hand, patted his forehead, and hurriedly caught up with him.
