Chapter 110 Three cobblers stand up to Zhuge Liang
After a busy morning, Luo Hao's work gradually subsided after lunch.
He knew that his mother's condition required care, so he rushed to the hospital again in the afternoon.
In the ward, Luo Hao stood in front of the bed, carefully peeling an apple for his mother and chatting with her.
Although he tried his best to appear relaxed, he couldn't completely hide his tired expression.
"Luo Hao, are you doing things smoothly in the store?" asked his mother Li Yuexiu with concern.
"Mom, don't worry. After these few days of exploration, I can basically handle everything in the store!" Luo Hao said with a smile, but the movement of peeling the apple in his hands gradually slowed down and he seemed a little absent-minded.
Suddenly, Luo Hao dozed off unconsciously and almost cut his finger with the fruit knife in his hand.
Seeing this, Li Yuexiu said distressedly: "Luo Hao, you are so tired, but you are still holding on.
Go and have a rest, the nurse is here to take care of me."
Luo Hao shook his head and said with all his strength: "Mom, I'm fine. I just want to spend more time with you."
Li Yuexiu looked at her son's tired appearance, feeling full of guilt and self-blame. "I'm so sorry... it's all because of me... if it weren't for me falling ill, you would be preparing for the Rookie of the Year finals now!
Look, why don't we close the store for a while?"
When Luo Hao heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Mom, how can you say that?
This shop is the result of your hard work, how could I let it close down?
Moreover, once the store closes, all the old customers my mother has accumulated will be lost, and even if the store reopens, they may not come back."
Seeing her son's firm attitude, Li Yuexiu sighed helplessly: "I was also afraid of something like this happening before, and I posted a recruitment advertisement at the door of the store, but I could never find the right person.
I'd better stop business for a while. I don't want to be a burden to you."
Luo Hao said firmly: "Mom, no! I can't watch our store close down.
The shop is the root of our family and the source of our livelihood.
Also, I love working in the store, it’s a memory my dad and I share.”
Just then, a "click" sound came from the door, interrupting the conversation in the ward.
Luo Hao and Li Yuexiu looked back and saw Qingmu, Kimura, Heilong and Zhang Siya coming in one after another. Their arrival surprised Luo Hao.
Zhang Siya walked quickly to Luo Hao and said with a reproachful look, "Luo Hao, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing happening in your family?
Don’t you consider me as your own?”
Luo Hao quickly pulled Zhang Siya over and explained in a low voice: "Siya, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just worried that you would worry too much.
And I believe I can handle these things.”
Aoki and Kimura also walked to the bedside and put the fruits in their hands on the cabinet. Kimura greeted with concern: "Oba-san, are you feeling better?
We are Luo Hao’s predecessors at Kamogawa Boxing Gym. My name is Kimura and this guy is called Aoki.
I came to visit you today and hope you get well soon. "
Li Yuexiu smiled and nodded to them, "Thank you, it's so thoughtful."
The Black Dragon behind him walked directly to Li Yuexiu's bed and bowed deeply: "Obaa-san, Luo Hao is my best friend.
Starting tomorrow, I will help out in your store until the Luohao Rookie King Competition is over."
Li Yuexiu and Luo Hao were both shocked by Heilong's words. Luo Hao even stepped forward in a hurry: "Heilong, you are also a professional boxer. If you come to my shop to help, what about your training?"
Black Dragon smiled and said, “Back then, you joined me in that boxing match without saying a word in order to help me.
There shouldn’t be any need for us to explain so much to each other!”
Seeing this, Zhang Siya also quickly expressed her opinion: "I want to come too!
I will ask for leave from my uncle tomorrow. While Aunt Yuexiu is in the hospital, I will be the boss of Yuexiu Chinese Cuisine. Both of you must obey my orders! " She put her hands on her hips, looking like the boss.
Luo Hao looked at his friends in front of him, his heart filled with gratitude: "Thank you all so much, I don't know what to say, anyway, I've kept it all in my heart!" He bowed deeply to everyone.
Li Yuexiu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. With the help of these friends, she no longer had to worry about Luo Hao not being able to handle it alone.
She smiled and said, "When I am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely cook a delicious meal to thank everyone."
"Ah huh..., when old lady is discharged from the hospital, we can have a big meal again."
"Yes, yes! I still miss the old lady's craftsmanship, it's really top-notch!"
……
After three days of operation and adjustment, Yuexiu Chinese Restaurant finally returned to its former calmness.
Zhang Siya, Heilong and Luo Hao divided the work and cooperated to run the store in an orderly manner. Three cobblers are really as good as one Zhuge Liang.
"Madam boss, pay the bill!" a diner shouted with satisfaction after finishing his meal.
Zhang Siya ran over quickly upon hearing the voice and handed over the bill with a smile: "Sir, this is your bill, the total is 2000 yuan."
The customer looked up at Zhang Siya and said teasingly with a smile: "Oh! Miss, I haven't seen you before. Are you the boss's daughter-in-law?
Haha, she's so pretty, Luo Hao has really good taste!"
Since they are all old customers, they often joke with each other.
Zhang Siya was very happy when she heard this, "You are really good at joking.
But I’m so happy today, so I’m giving you 20% off on everything!”
Luo Hao was in the kitchen when he heard Zhang Siya loudly announce that all items were 20% off. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily and he muttered quietly, "She gives discounts all the time. What a spendthrift woman."
Black Dragon was cutting vegetables nearby and seemed to have heard Luo Hao's muttering. He replied, "Someone is willing to suffer with you, so you should be content."
Luo Hao cooked a dish, put it on a plate, and served it out personally.
When he walked past Black Dragon, he whispered in his ear: "You are older than me, go find one and bring him to me."
Hearing this, Black Dragon couldn't help but smile bitterly and responded, "You haven't even finished your own business yet, and you're already worrying about my business."
The two smiled at each other and continued to work.
Busy times always pass quickly, and New Year’s Eve has arrived in the blink of an eye.
After a busy last day of the year, Zhang Siya, Heilong and Luo Hao prepared a sumptuous "New Year's Eve Banquet" for themselves to reward themselves.
With the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday, Chinatown became particularly deserted, and many people who were wandering abroad returned to their hometowns in China to reunite. Luohao also welcomed a long-awaited opportunity to breathe.
"Siya, it's time for me to go back to Yachuan Boxing Gym. Thank you for your hard work these days." Luo Hao said to Zhang Siya while cleaning the store.
Zhang Siya frowned when she heard this, and seemed a little unhappy: "Why, now that I've gotten through this difficult time, you're kicking me out now?
Is there any way to express it? "
When Luo Hao heard this, his heart tightened and he thought, "What do you want to express?
How to express it?
What should I do?
My mother didn’t teach me this.”
Black Dragon, who was cleaning nearby, couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Hao's embarrassed look.
Luo Hao was attracted by Black Dragon's laughter. When he turned to look at Black Dragon, he saw that Black Dragon was pouting and shaking his head at Luo Hao.
Luo Hao finally understood what Hei Long meant. It turned out that he wanted him to kiss Zhang Siya.
Luo Hao had never done such a thing in his life, and he was too shy to step forward.
Seeing this, Black Dragon raised his fist and shook it, saying, "If you don't go, I'll come over and beat you up right away."
Under the pressure of the Black Dragon, Luo Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and tiptoe to Zhang Siya, intending to kiss her on the cheek and then quickly escape.
However, due to nervousness and inexperience, he chose to close his eyes and "gnaw" on it.
But at this moment, Zhang Siya suddenly turned around and gave Luo Hao a French kiss.
(20 words are omitted here)
Ten minutes later, Luo Hao seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and became listless.
Zhang Siya hummed a little tune and skipped back to her Hu Yongtao clinic.
At this time, Heilong came over and said, "I'll take my leave for now. I'll come back after the New Year holiday.
I hope that Obasan can recover soon.”
Farewells between men are always brief and crisp. Luo Hao and Hei Long stretched out their fists and bumped them together.
"boom!"
"Black Dragon, thank you!"
