Chapter 34 The real reason, ask for a monthly pass
"Mr. Du, your stuff is ready, please use it slowly." Du Ming, a man in a suit, heard the voice in his ear and turned his eyes back from the window, with a trace of memory still in his eyes.
Jia'er, now I can treat you to the high-end restaurant opposite for a big meal every day. You don't have to peek at that restaurant every time.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang." Du Ming looked at the barbecue restaurant owner standing next to him and said with a smile.
"...Mrs. Du has been gone for so many years. Mr. Du, haven't you let go yet?" Zhang Jie watched as Du Ming carefully washed the two sets of dishes and chopsticks with hot tea. The first one was washed.
The second set of bowls and chopsticks was placed on the opposite side of the dining table, and the second set of cleaned bowls and chopsticks was placed in front of him. Zhang Jie's eyes narrowed and he said softly.
"She has taken root in my heart and I will never forget it." Du Ming was stunned when he heard the boss's voice. The hand holding the chicken wings paused in the air for a second, and then continued to stretch forward to bake the chicken wings.
Put the chicken wings that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside... into the bowl opposite.
"Boss Zhang, do you think this person is strange? Sometimes, I feel that this life is too long. When I wake up and open my eyes every day, I think of her leaving, and I still have so much hope for the future.
I feel hopeless for a long time, and sometimes I feel that this life is too short, so short that she has already left before I even have time to say goodbye to her properly."
"But fortunately, she and I have agreed that we will be together in the next life." Du Ming said softly, with a firm tone.
"Boss Zhang, your grilled chicken wings are just different from other barbecue restaurants. Do you have any secret recipe? Ajia, she likes your grilled chicken wings the most. She keeps coming to you every week.
I have been eating grilled chicken wings here for eight years in the blink of an eye." Du Ming looked at the empty seats across from him, as if he saw another beautiful woman in front of him, who was both angry and happy to act coquettishly to him, and looked at the guy who couldn't wait to see him.
He picked up the chicken wings in the bowl and took a bite. He didn't realize that the chicken wings had just been cooked and his mouth was burned. He looked at himself pitifully.
Ajia, it’s been eight years. I...miss you so much.
"Yes, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember that when you two came to my store for the first time, my store had just been opened and renovated. At that time, you seemed to have
You just graduated not long ago, so it seemed like it was your first date when you came to my store."
"Haha, Mr. Du, I'm not talking about you, how could you choose to have a meal at a barbecue restaurant when you first date a girl? Most of them go to a big dinner or a movie." Zhang Jie recalled the first time.
When I saw Mr. Du and Mrs. Du, I laughed.
"Didn't I just graduate at that time? I hadn't found a good job yet, and I was poor. At that time, I could only afford a barbecue with the money in my pocket." Thinking of those years, Du Ming's mouth curved slightly, and his family's
The conditions were not very good, and he could hardly afford to pay for his college expenses. After graduation, he really couldn't ask for money from his family. The years when he first graduated were really hard, and he encountered obstacles everywhere when looking for a job.
I'm begging for help, but luckily, I have her by my side all the time, never leaving, it's really...good.
"Mr. Du, when you proposed to Mrs. Du, you seemed to have done it in my store. Haha, that was the only time my barbecue restaurant served food that was not homemade. The kitchen of the barbecue restaurant served
A cake came out, haha." Zhang Jie laughed.
"Well, it's also thanks to Brother Zhang that you cooperated with me. That day, it also delayed Brother Zhang from doing business. You stopped business for a day specially for us. I thought at that time that since Jia'er and I had our first date,
This is your store, so I plan to propose to her here and give her a surprise." Du Ming said gratefully to Zhang Jie.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's an honor for my small shop to be able to witness the marriage of Mr. Du and Mrs. Du." Zhang Jie waved his hand, and at this moment several more customers walked in at the door.
"Brother Zhang, we have a guest. You go and greet him first." Du Ming smiled at Zhang Jie.
"Well, it's good to eat and drink well."
"By the way, Mr. Du, have you ever thought about this question? Why did Mrs. Du come to my store every week during her lifetime? Maybe... it's not just because of the smell of my barbecue restaurant, but because of the people like you here.
What about the important commemorative memories? Because of these memories, Mrs. Du wants to come here every week?" Zhang Jie, who was about to walk to the front desk, looked at Du Ming, hesitated, and said softly.
"I'm so stupid. Outsiders have noticed such an obvious thing, but I... didn't notice it all this time." Hearing Brother Zhang's words, Du Ming's eyes heated up, and his chest felt as if someone had hit him hard.
’s punched.
Du Ming thought of the days when he was with her when she was still alive. There was a time when he was really too busy. When she pulled him and coquettishly asked him to accompany her to have barbecue, because of an important
The contract had to be finalized that night and I couldn't spare the time, so I didn't agree to it.
She was making a fuss, looking at herself pitifully like an abandoned kitten. He was worried about something at work, and when he saw her making trouble with him again, he couldn't help it, so he rushed to her.
He got angry. It was the first time and the only time that he got angry at her. She seemed to be frightened, looked at him blankly, then turned around and ran out.
After I calmed down, I looked at the dark night outside and wondered if she would be in any danger if she ran out like this, even forgetting to bring her mobile phone. I hurriedly went out to look for her.
However, after searching for a long time, he couldn't find her, not at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, nor at her best friend's home. He was walking alone on the street, distracted. Later, he inexplicably remembered this barbecue restaurant in his mind, and ran over to take a look, only to see
This greedy little cat was sitting on a familiar seat in the shop, smiling and waving at himself, and there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks placed on the dining table.
When he walked into the store, Brother Zhang, who was completely unaware, was still complaining to himself, saying that he should not have let his wife wait in the store alone for so long, and warned himself that no matter how busy he was at work, she should accompany him
There should still be time for my wife to squeeze in during her meal time.
Yes, no matter how important work is, can it be more important than your lover? Why were you not willing to spend more time with her in the first place?
It's a pity that when I realized it, it was already too late, too... too late.
"Idiot." Tears blurred Du Ming's eyes, and he seemed to see her again. She was making faces at him, gently stroking her cheek with one hand.
"Yes, I am truly the number one idiot in the world, Jia'er, without your care these years, I have become more and more stupid." Du Ming said softly to "her" opposite him.
