Carrying an empty basin with poured water, some water dripped from the empty basin on the steps under the eaves, the owner of the restaurant stood with his back to the outside of the eaves, standing at the entrance of the restaurant,
Looking at Lian Ge and the boy, and listening to Lian Ge's words, he nodded and answered,
"...No wonder the couple searched along the street for so long but couldn't find them...Why did they hide in the alley?"
The restaurant owner paused while talking, then lowered his head, turned around, and looked at the boy standing next to Lian Ge,
The boy still bowed his head, stood, silent, and said nothing.
"……What's wrong?"
In the lobby of the restaurant, the proprietress who was sitting on a stool folding vegetables heard the movement outside the store, put down the vegetables she was holding,
Dust off the dust on the apron, stepped out of the store door, and asked.
"This young man saw the child that the couple just found in the alley ahead, so he brought the child here to shelter from the rain, and waited for the child's parents by the way."
The restaurant owner explained to his wife aloud,
"...Eh, it really is."
"It's annoying."
The proprietress turned her head, looked at the boy with his head buried, and said aloud,
The boy still buried his head, standing beside Lian Ge, not saying a word.
Lian Ge turned his gaze to the restaurant owner, and the proprietress spoke again.
"...Don't bother, don't bother. The store is open for business, so how can you be afraid of people coming."
The proprietress smiled and waved her hands, and responded aloud,
He turned his head a little more, lowered his body a little, and continued speaking to the boy with his head buried,
"...Baby, your parents have been looking for you everywhere, they have been looking for you all day, and they are so anxious."
"...You just wait here for a while, your mother and the others can't find you in the front, so they should be back."
Speaking to the boy, the proprietress paused again,
"... If you are angry with your parents, then tell your parents after you go back, don't run around anymore..."
The proprietress spoke again.
The boy lowered his head and hugged the cartoon schoolbag in his hand even more tightly, trembling slightly, without saying a word.
Looking at the boy again, the proprietress turned her head again and looked at Lian Ge,
"...Young man, go into the store and wait. Although the rain can barely be covered under the eaves, you can sit and rest in the store."
Saying that, the proprietress lowered her head a little more, looked at the boy,
"...Baby, go inside and wait, your parents should be here soon."
After speaking aloud, the proprietress raised her head again,
"...The child's father gave some money just now. When Jean saw the child, he kept him for a meal. He said it had been a whole day, and he had no money with him, so he was afraid that he would starve."
The proprietress was talking, and then went to look at the boy,
The boy stood with his head buried, silent, not saying a word.
"Then trouble you two."
"No trouble, no trouble..."
The proprietress waved her hand, stepped aside a bit, and then looked back at the restaurant owner,
"...Old Xu, go and cook some dishes for this young man and this baby."
"...OK. Young man, take this child into the shop and sit down. I'll go and cook something."
The proprietress yelled at the restaurant owner,
The restaurant owner nodded in response, said something to Lian Ge, and then walked into the restaurant.
Putting the basin in his hand aside, he walked into the kitchen.
Moving his feet, Lian Ge walked into the restaurant,
The restaurant is not big, there are only a few tables in the lobby,
Lian Ge sat down at a table by the door of the restaurant.
The boy with his head buried next to Lian Ge,
Still silent, holding the schoolbag in his hand tightly, trembling slightly,
Following closely behind Lian Ge, he also walked into the restaurant, and stood beside Lian Ge, with his head buried, without saying a word.
"Sit down."
Facing the boy, Lian Ge said softly,
The boy raised his head, looked at Lian Ge, sat down on the seat next to Lian Ge, and remained silent again without saying a word.
It just seemed to avoid the door of the restaurant, and Lian Ge leaned sideways to the side.
"...have a cup of hot water."
The proprietress also walked into the restaurant and came over with a pot of hot water.
Holding a cup, he poured a glass of water for Lian Ge and the boy,
"Thank you."
Lian Ge thanked him.
The proprietress shook her head, then looked at the silent boy next to him with his head buried,
Putting the kettle on the edge of the table, he walked away again and walked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the sound of cooking gradually sounded, as well as the voices of the proprietress and the restaurant owner.
In the lobby, it became a little quieter.
Glancing at the boy who avoided the door of the restaurant, leaned to the side, and buried his head,
Lian Ge paused his gaze, then turned his gaze a little further, and looked outside the restaurant.
Through the restaurant door,
On the street, the eaves of the shops facing the street are still facing the street, and the accumulated rainwater is rolling down,
The rain follows the terrain and washes away from the street.
Dense raindrops quickly fell on the rainwater washed by the street, splashing some water vapor from time to time.
The strong wind whistling through the street from time to time, dragging the branches and leaves of the trees on the street back and forth,
It also disturbs the column of rainwater accumulated on the roof and rolling down from the eaves.
From time to time, the wind with some water vapor blows into the restaurant again, bringing in some sound of wind and rain hitting the street,
Mixed in with the sound of rain beating on the roof.
Beside Lian Ge,
With his head buried, the sitting boy was also tense all over, and slowly raised his head again,
After looking at Lian Ge, he turned his head a little bit, moved his feet a little bit, turned his body towards the door, and then stopped,
Just through the door of the restaurant, towards the hazy rainy and foggy street, looking in the distance from the street,
His whole body couldn't stop trembling, his face was full of fear, and his eyes showed some fear.
But he didn't bury his head anymore, but the cartoon schoolbag in his hand was hugged even tighter,
"... Big Brother... Can you save my mother?"
The boy looked at the distance on the street, trembling all over, and his voice trembled a little, and asked again.
Lian Ge listened to the boy's voice, turned his eyes from the street, and looked at the boy.
The boy held the schoolbag in his arms tightly, with unconcealable fear and pleading in his eyes.
Looking at this boy,
Lian Ge didn't answer out loud.
The boy turned his head and looked at Lian Ge, with fear, pleading, and hope in his eyes,
But he didn't make a sound, just looked at Lian Ge,
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head slowly again, looking towards the street outside the restaurant, in the distance, the direction where his parents might walk back,
She couldn't stop shaking, and there was some fear in her eyes.But he kept looking towards that side.
"...fried two simple dishes."
At this time, the proprietress came out from the kitchen with the dishes and spoke aloud.
The sudden sound seemed to frighten the boy a little more. He couldn't help shaking violently, and then slowly lowered his head, holding the schoolbag in his arms tightly.
"...Fry this dish quickly. This kid hasn't eaten all day. He must be very hungry."
The owner of the restaurant wiped his hands, took a small pot of rice, and came out of the kitchen, and said aloud,
"...There's some rice here. Let's fill our stomachs first."
"...Young man, you can eat some too."
The proprietress and the restaurant owner put the food on the table and greeted them with a smile.
The boy still buried his head, sitting, not saying a word.
"Let's have something to eat. It's going to rain for a while, and your parents probably won't come over until later."
Looking at the boy with his head buried, Lian Ge said something aloud.
Hearing the sound, the boy raised his head slowly, looked at Lian Ge, then at the dishes on the table,
Still trembling slightly, he picked up the chopsticks by the table.
Chapter 1010 Parents
"...you're starving."
Outside the store, the dense and rapid rainwater was still pouring on the street.
in the shop, at the table,
The little boy shrank a little, raised his head a little, holding chopsticks in his hand,
Holding the chopsticks, I slowly picked up a piece of vegetable, put it in my mouth, and ate it.
Immediately afterwards, some hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the plate,
Just hastily, the chopstick dish that was caught fell on the table.
Next to him, the proprietress of the restaurant smiled and said something to the boy,
Then handed the finished bowl of rice to the boy,
"Eat slowly, there is still food, don't choke."
The proprietress said something to the boy again, took out a pair of clean chopsticks from the side, put some more chopsticks in the boy's rice bowl.
Holding the chopsticks, the boy paused, turned his head, looked at the restaurant owner and his wife, then turned his head a little bit, looked at Lian Ge,
Then slowly lowered his head, reached out and moved the bowl of rice,
Holding the chopsticks, he scraped his mouth, and the boy hurriedly took the chopsticks and scraped the rice into his mouth, eating.
"……thanks……"
After taking a few mouthfuls, the boy slowed down a bit, raised his head, and said something to the restaurant owner and his wife.
"...No thanks, your father has already given you money. Eat slowly, don't choke."
The lady proprietress responded with a smile, and the owner of the restaurant also smiled and looked at the boy,
"...Don't run around in the future, how hungry you are without food, don't you think so?"
