Standing far away at the end of the street, Dongli immediately saw the familiar breakfast stall.
It was still the same simple but organized furnishings, and only the husband and wife were busy. In the past, she had thought about how two ordinary people could take care of so much breakfast.
Until now, he still could not figure out this problem.
Whatever, the most important thing now was to have a good meal.
There weren't many people on this street, which was normal. Even if it was a breakfast stall, it would only start to get crowded after 7 pm.
She jogged to the front of the stall and said," Hey!" to the boss who was kneading dough and did not notice her. The boss looked up and saw that it was her. His eyes were stunned for a moment before they became pleasantly surprised. He called out,"Dongli girl!"
"Oh? Dongli is here? What a rare guest!" The owner's voice attracted the lady boss, who was boiling eggs at the side. When she saw that it was indeed Dongli, her face was filled with surprise.
"Hehe! Good morning, Uncle and Auntie! You still remember me!"
As Dong Li spoke, she could not help but feel a warm current in her heart.
The couple's expressions were not fake. Their sincere eyes could not fool anyone.
"Aiya! It's been a long time since I've seen you! Your auntie and I thought you had forgotten about us.”Indeed, the boss had not seen Dongli in a long time. He stopped kneading the dough and sighed with a pure Han accent.
Dong Li smiled apologetically and said,""Uncle, you're joking again! How could I forget you and Auntie! I've been looking forward to eating hot dry noodles again."
"Hahahaha! Good, good! Uncle will give it to you immediately!" The boss was very happy. As he spoke, he smiled and welcomed her to sit at the open-air table. When he returned to his post, he suddenly frowned.
"But you should wait for Ha Zi first. My noodles will be ready soon. I still remember that you must eat fried dough sticks with hot dry noodles! Why is this habit so sudden?"
Dong Li shook her head like a rattle-drum.""Nothing has changed! Thank you, Uncle!"
Eating hot and dry noodles instead of fried dough sticks? What was the difference between that and cooking without salt?
At this moment, the lady boss brought over a freshly cooked egg and handed it to Dongli. The hot air carried a fragrance that rushed into her nose, making her heart itch. However, her habit was to wait until all the staple food and non-staple food were complete before she could start eating.
The lady boss didn't seem to have forgotten, because she wasn't curious about why Dongli didn't eat. She looked at Dongli's face with a hint of pity in her eyes, like a mother observing a child she had not seen for a long time.
Dongli understood why she was like this and even cooperated with her by giving her a gentle smile. The lady boss's eyes became gentler and gentler, as if she really treated Dongli as a child she left behind in her hometown.
"Did you get hurt in the typhoon last week?”she asked.
Dong Li shook her head and looked worried." I'm fine. I quickly went to seek refuge with the crowd." But you and uncle weren't affected too much, right?”
The Lady Boss laughed. She wanted to reach out and touch Dongli's head, but she put it down again."We're fine too. This is all thanks to the government's good evacuation measures. Moreover, the news was sent in time. Otherwise, my stall would have been blown away by the typhoon! Hahaha!"
Dongli took the initiative to reach out and hold the Lady Boss's hand. The lady boss was a little flustered. She felt that her hands were dirty, but she did not know that Dongli had already noticed her thoughts.
"Auntie, you've worked hard."
When the Lady Boss heard this, she was deeply moved. She realized that her tears were about to fall, so she said," Thank you, Dongli girl! Auntie is going to turn off the fire!" He quickly pulled his hand out and ran away.
Tears welled up in Dong Li's eyes. She was also extremely touched.
For two people who had left their hometown to work hard just to give their children a better life, she knew what they needed the most, especially when they treated her like their own child.
Actually, a word of concern was worth more than a thousand gold.
"The noodles are here ~"
After the lady boss left, the boss quickly took over her position. He held a bowl that was one size larger than the average bowl and shouted. In his other hand, he held a bamboo basket that contained a youtiao that had just been cooked and was still stained with some hot oil.
"Strangle is our new product! Beef Hot Dry Noodles! Dongli girl! How does it feel?" The boss stood proudly at the side with his hands on his hips, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
In front of the young girl was a bowl of steaming hot noodles.
Apart from the thick tawny sesame sauce covering the intertwined surface, there were also several pieces of alluring beef slices and crispy fried peas.
"This, this is too wonderful!"
The already rich fragrance was mixed with a hint of beef. This made the girl raise her eyebrows in surprise, and her saliva could not help but surge in her mouth.
"Hahahaha! As long as you like it!" The boss laughed loudly.
"Here comes the tofu pudding ~"
At this moment, the lady boss also brought over a bowl of pure white and juicy tofu pudding.
Dongli's eyes lit up as she said to the couple," Thank you!”He put away his chopsticks and started eating fiercely.
"Aiyo. Eat slowly, eat slowly." The lady boss watched Dongli eat happily from the side. Her face was full of joy, but she was still afraid that she would choke.
The boss also looked satisfied.
The two of them returned to their posts.
In terms of satisfaction, no one could be more satisfied than Dongli, who had finished all the food. As the morning passed, she felt that she had already ascended to immortality. No, even ascending to immortality was not enough to describe her current feeling. It was too satisfying!
"Thank you, Uncle and Auntie!"
This day would be full of vitality.
"You're welcome! Haha!" The boss laughed heartily as he fried his noodles."People like you who do scientific research usually have a hard time. It's rare for you to come here.”
"Yeah, Dongli girl, if you think it's not enough, we'll make you another bowl for free!”The Lady Boss waved her hand, looking very heroic.
Seeing this, Dong Li could not help but feel touched. What a simple couple.
He didn't expect that in this materialistic society where money was the most important, there would still be such a person.
She suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Zhou Xia last night about fifty years ago.
She recalled that almost everyone at that time was like this couple. Their smiles were all real, and their eyes were very clear.
How nostalgic.
It was truly a pure and simple era.
"Thank you."
Thank you for maintaining your original intentions, really.
Dong Li's eyes suddenly became wet.
The boss panicked when he saw it. He thought he had said something wrong and was at a loss. Seeing this, the lady boss quickly put down what she was doing. She took a tissue and ran over to pass it to Dongli, asking and comforting her.
"No, I'm not. It's not your problem, it's mine."
In terms of age, Dongli was actually older than this couple by a round, but she was suddenly very touched and felt a little inexplicable.
A moment later, Dong Li wiped her tears.
As time passed, more and more people would come early. She thought that she had already eaten and couldn't stay here to cause trouble, so she smiled again.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'll be leaving first. I wish your business will always be prosperous!”
"Thank you, Dongli girl! Again!"
Dongli nodded sincerely and said goodbye to the couple.
After that, Dongli didn't know where to go, so she took a car to the research institute. She hadn't been here for a while, but the research institute was still the same as before. The air was still fresh because she had a backer.
After the 8:30 PM meeting, the place would truly change hands.
Zhu Lin
Standing at the door, the face of the man who tied her to the chair and made her unable to move for more than ten hours still appeared in her mind. After all, they had worked together for three years. For humans, it was a very long time.
In a sense, he wasn't completely wrong.
He could only say that time was not waiting for him.
"Sigh!"
