Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America
Chapter 198: have not seen you for a long time
On the way back to the apartment, Lin Zidan remembered that he and Zhuang Yijun had a McDonald's at noon, and they haven't had dinner yet!
So I decided to go to a bowl of mutton stewed noodles near Chinatown.
This restaurant is located next to the Chinatown sports field near the B/D subway station. On weekdays, the young foreigners who come to eat are nearby.
Seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the time when the crowds are the most crowded. Since the store is not large, you have to queue up if you arrive late.
As soon as Lin Zidan entered the door this night, he saw that the proprietress was busy cleaning up a table that had just been cleared.
As soon as he saw him, he smiled and walked towards him.
Lin Zidan occasionally comes over for a late night snack. I don't know that there are not many Chinese people who like to eat braised noodles around here.
It's still Lin Zidan who tipped him well on weekdays. The proprietress was very enthusiastic to him every time he came.
"Come on~ I happen to have a seat today, you can sit here." The proprietress pointed to the big table that was just cleared out.
"Okay, thank you Madam Boss~" Lin Zidan nodded and walked to the table that Madam Boss pointed to.
"What would you like to eat today?" Lin Zidan had just sat down when he heard the proprietress say warmly.
"A bowl of mutton stewed noodles, add a roujiamo!" Lin Zidan glanced at the menu sticking to the wall and pondered for a while.
"Okay, come right now~" said the proprietress and went in lightly.
There are quite a few people in the shop at the moment, buzzing with young people talking while eating.
Lin Zidan glanced at it, and there was not a single Chinese.
I was thinking that most of the people living near Chinatown are southerners, and not many people like to eat braised noodles, when I heard the wind chimes at the door of the restaurant jingle.
Lin Zidan looked up, and his eyes suddenly deepened. The person who came was a slightly tall Chinese man, holding a girl in his hand. This girl was none other than the eldest daughter of his former cousin Lin Guodong-- -Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was stunned when she saw him.
The two hadn't seen each other since the summer vacation before college, even though Lin Zidan's phone was changed a few times,
Her phone number is still saved in the address book, but she never thought of calling.
"Welcome~" The lady boss's crisp voice sounded behind Lin Zidan.
At this moment, the tables in the store are all full, and only Lin Zidan can sit at the table together.
So the proprietress brought the two of them over without saying a word.
"Little brother, the store is small, can these two share a table with you?" the lady boss asked with a smile.
"Of course you can~" Lin Zidan said with a generous smile.
"Thank you~" the boy beside Lin Shan thanked Lin Zidan as he sat down.
"Long time no see." Lin Shan nodded to Lin Zidan after waiting for her boyfriend to finish speaking.
"You're welcome, long time no see, is this your boyfriend?"
Lin Zidan looked at Lin Shan, and then looked at the boy who raised his eyebrows slightly because of Lin Shan's words, and said softly,
"Yes, my boyfriend David, David, this is... my former classmate."
It was only at this moment that Lin Shan remembered that her acquaintance with Lin Zidan was only due to one of Michele's boyfriends, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you~" the boy named David said quickly.
Lin Zidan heard that his accent was probably from G province or from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but it had nothing to do with him. I saw that the boy asked Lin Shan if he wanted to drink something first.
Then, he diligently went to the cupboard where the lady boss put drinks, and went to help Lin Shan bring drinks.
"How are you doing recently?" Lin Shan said softly after her boyfriend walked away.
"Me? It's fine, is your family all right?~" Lin Zidan smiled and said softly.
"Thank you for your concern, they are all good~"
The corners of Lin Shan's eyes widened a little in surprise. She didn't expect that Lin Zidan would still care about his family.
When Lin Shan's boyfriend came back, Lin Zidan's food was ready, the crispy biscuits were filled with the fragrance of braised pork and coriander.
A bowl of hot braised noodles is also placed in a huge white porcelain bowl, which looks very full.
"Then I'll eat first~" Lin Zidan raised his head and greeted the two of them.
"Okay, you eat first~" Lin Shan's boyfriend smiled honestly.
Because of the stomach ulcer in the past, Lin Zidan developed the habit of eating without rushing, so even if Lin Shan was sitting across from him, he didn't embarrass himself and ate as usual.
Lin Shan's boyfriend whispered a word to Lin Shan after ordering the meal, and went out, leaving only the two of them on the table for a while.
Lin Zidan was suddenly infected by Lin Shan's embarrassment.
After less than two minutes, Lin Shan said softly, "Have you heard about Michelle?
She left Chinatown with his mother, and no one knows where they went. "
As if she was certain that Lin Zidan would know, Lin Shan finished what she wanted to say in one breath.
"Uh, is that so?" After Lin Zidan answered calmly, he continued to eat his own food silently.
He remembered Liu Fugui who was caught by Zhang Jing some time ago, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart made him lose his appetite to continue eating for a while.
Lin Zidan didn't tell Lin Shan that he and Zhang Jing had taught Michelle, the beastly brother a lesson, and he didn't think it was necessary.
He did this by himself, not because his ZT was Michelle, but simply despised this kind of scum, but mentioning these people again, these things would only make him feel unappetizing.
"I'm done eating, you guys can eat slowly." Lin Zidan pushed aside the stewed noodles that he had eaten, and nodded to Lin Shan when he got up.
"Madam Boss, count the money~" Lin Zidan deliberately ignored Lin Shan's slightly embarrassed expression, and shouted to the Boss who was busy inside.
"Come on~" The proprietress walked out from the inside, holding Lin Shan's meal in her hand. After setting it up, she turned around and went to count the money for Lin Zidan.
"How much in total? With them." Lin Zidan asked softly.
"Oh, I'll do the math~" The proprietress found Lin Zidan's list and added Lin Shan's list together.
"38 yuan five, you can just give 38~" the proprietress said with a smile. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Lin Zidan took out two pieces of 20 from his wallet, flipped through them again, found a piece of 5, threw it on the counter, and said thank you.
"Oh, thank you~ Welcome next time~" The proprietress said in a clear and authentic voice.
When she came to Lin Shan, her boyfriend had already returned, so Lin Zidan nodded with the two of them again, and quickly left the restaurant.
---------------------------------------
On the way back to his residence, Lin Zidan took a deep breath at the early autumn night.
Thinking that he used the name of Lin Shan's brother to contact Lin Guodong before, but now Lin Guodong has already cut off contact.
He really didn't expect to meet Lin Shan, as if he didn't want to face the self who once avoided the world and chose to commit suicide,
Lin Zidan is still afraid to face the fact that time flies and that summer night in 2013 is coming.
It's like getting used to a splendid life and don't want to go back to the abyss of poverty.
The reason why he has been struggling to move forward like an ascetic over the years, trying to find ways to make money,
To make a lot of money is to hope that when that day comes, even if God uses those hands that turn clouds and rain,
Bring him back to his original form, as long as he can survive, he will have enough capital and enough courage to continue to live.
"Ding bell bell~" A crisp bell interrupted his chaotic thoughts.
Lin Zidan took out his phone that was about to run out of power, and saw Elsa's name flashing on the display.
This woman is like a dream that will wake up at any time. Although she is very beautiful when she is intoxicated, her detachment also keeps him awake all the time.
Everything is beautiful now, just like this woman, she will leave him at any time, so he must be fully psychologically prepared early!
