Chapter 109 Life
"Ring ring ring..."
The tranquility of the early morning was broken by the sudden ringing of a bell, and Luo Hao was awakened from his sleep. He frowned, making a final struggle with the beauty of his dream.
But the ringing persisted, bombarding his nerves in his ears.
Finally, Luo Hao's hand reached out from the quilt and accurately touched the alarm clock on the bedside table. He pressed the stop button hard, and the unpleasant ringtone gradually dissipated.
Luo Hao turned over, his eyes still closed, as if he was savoring the beautiful dream that had just been interrupted.
However, reality was like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly waking him up.
He sighed, sat up listlessly, and gently rubbed his sleepy eyes with the back of his hand, trying to dispel the strong sleepiness.
After some struggle, Luo Hao finally crawled out of the bed.
He put on his clothes, walked to the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air.
Luo Hao stretched and felt his body gradually waking up.
As usual, Luo Hao started his morning exercise.
He put on his sneakers, walked out of the room and started jogging.
There were few people on the streets in the early morning, only some sanitation workers were working.
Luo Hao's breathing gradually became even, and his mood also relaxed.
After morning exercise, Luo Hao returned to the store.
He simply washed up and then started his day's work.
His work schedule is already full.
Luo Hao was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room, preparing meals for the guests.
In the afternoon, Luo Hao took time to go to the hospital.
He pushed open the door of the ward and saw his mother Li Yuexiu sitting on the bed, looking at him with a smile.
Li Yuexiu looked much better than yesterday, and Luo Hao's worries were slightly relieved.
He walked over to his mother's bed and sat down, then pulled a notebook and pen from his pocket. "Mom," he whispered, "I want to ask you something.
I always have trouble choosing fish when I go to the wholesale market at night because I’m afraid of being ripped off by those cunning fishmongers.”
Li Yuexiu felt relieved when she saw her son's serious expression.
She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mom will tell you now.
When buying fish, you should pay attention to the following points: first, look at the fish eyes, and choose those with clear and transparent eyes;
Then press the fish body with your hands, if it is soft and inelastic, don’t buy it;
Then open the fish head from the side and look at the gills. If the color is not bright, don't buy it.
Finally, it’s the appearance. Don’t buy fish that are dull in color or smell strange. ”
Luo Hao listened carefully to his mother's teachings, taking notes quickly in his notebook.
He raised his head and looked at his mother, "Yes! I wrote it all down!"
Then he talked about the store again: “Mom, Uncle Lin came over to eat noodles yesterday and said that the taste was not right. I have already explained it to him.
He said he understood and didn't blame me.
He is an old customer of our restaurant and has been eating here for many years. "
After hearing this, Li Yuexiu sighed softly and said, "Luo Hao, you need to be more patient.
Kitchen skills are not something that can be acquired in a day or two.
But you have to think more and study more, and ask mom if you don’t understand something.”
Luo Hao nodded, "Yeah!"
Then he stood up and said, "Mom, you have a good rest. I will go back to work first."
After saying that, he turned around and left the ward in a hurry.
In this way, Luo Hao's life was filled with endless busyness. He had almost no time to take care of the practice at Kamogawa Boxing Gym, let alone return to school to continue his studies.
The burden of the family was like a mountain, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
Time seems to be compressed, passing quietly in the high pressure and busyness.
It was another early morning, and the sound of "Ding Ding Ding..." the alarm clock echoed in the silent air, but Luo Hao fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up.
Outside the window, the drizzle was like silk, gently tapping on the window, bringing waves of coolness.
Uncle Lin, the old man who would appear at Yuexiu Chinese Restaurant on time every morning, was forced to stand outside the door today.
He looked at the closed store door and shook his head helplessly, his heart filled with worry. "Luo Hao is still too young to bear such a heavy burden."
"Alas..." He sighed, turned and left.
At the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, the atmosphere was still lively, except for the familiar figure missing.
"It's raining and the weather has become so cold!" Kimura rubbed his hands and sighed.
His eyes revealed his concern for Luo Hao, "By the way, Luo Hao hasn't come here to practice for a week. To be honest, I'm a little worried about him. I wonder how his mother is doing.
The final of the Rookie of the Year competition is imminent."
Qingmu stood by the window, looking at the drizzling rain outside, his expression seemed a little heavy. "Yes, Luo Hao finally made it to the finals of the Rookie King.
It would be a shame if I failed to win the Rookie of the Year award because of a lack of systematic training due to family matters."
Just then, the door of Kamogawa Boxing Gym was pushed open and a man of medium build walked in.
Aoki and Kimura were attracted by the sound of the door opening and immediately turned their heads.
When they saw who was coming, they both showed a look of surprise.
"Black Dragon!" Kimura shouted.
The arrival of the Black Dragon surprised both Aoki and Kimura.
Qingmu began to murmur suspiciously: "Why is he here?
There must be something wrong here.”
The black dragon looked around, searching for Luo Hao, but did not find him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to walk towards Qingmu and Kimura, and asked sincerely: "Two seniors, I am here to look for Luo Hao. Is he here?"
Kimura did not directly tell Heilong Luo Hao where he lived, but asked: "Heilong, are you familiar with Luo Hao?
What do you want with him?"
Black Dragon nodded and replied, “Luo Hao and I are friends.
I came here to thank him for his help a while ago, so please let me know where he lives." His tone was full of sincerity.
Aoki finally couldn't help but speak, "In fact, Luo Hao hasn't been to Kamogawa Boxing Gym for a week.
I heard that his mother was sick. I guess he was busy with family matters, as there were only him and his mother at home.
Once his mother was hospitalized, he had to run the Chinese restaurant by himself. I guess he must be very busy now.
Maybe his chance to participate in the Rookie King Contest will be ruined."
After hearing what Qingmu said, Heilong immediately showed an anxious look on his face, "Where is their store?
I want to go over and take a look. He must need some help at this time."
When Qing Mu and Kimura heard Hei Long say that he was going to Luo Hao's house, they looked at each other and Kimura said, "How about this, we also want to visit Luo Hao today, and we'll take you there in the evening."
……
His gaze returned to Luo Hao's house again. Suddenly, Luo Hao jumped out of bed, quickly glanced at the alarm clock in front of the bed, and screamed in shock, "It's over... It's over... It's over!
It’s already eight o’clock. I totally overslept.”
Luo Hao pulled open the curtains and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. His mood was as heavy as the sky.
