Chen Xizhu stayed in the hospital for a few days, while Muning and Gu Lin rested for a few days.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the customers who saw no food stalls in the square were heartbroken.
"Ooooooo, why isn't the boss back yet? I really want to eat the cold noodles she made."
"I've eaten cold noodles from other food stalls, but I don't think they're as good as the boss's. The cold noodles are soft and not chewy, and the chili oil is still mushy. What the hell did I do to finish one bowl? I can’t bear to throw it away.” The guest said with eyes wide open.
"Then I ordered the wolf-toothed potatoes from other food stalls? Can you explain such a simple snack? Why can't other people make it like the boss makes it? It's so delicious that I want to have another bowl."
"It's just that the cold shrimp doesn't even taste the same."
Customers who returned empty-handed could only disperse to other food stalls and breakfast restaurants to appease the Five Zang Temple first.
Brother Wang and classmate Xiaomei are also among them.
"Fat uncle, the boss is not here again."
Xiaomei regretfully bought a meat bun and bit into it. She really missed the spicy and delicious cold noodles and the crispy and spicy spiked potatoes.
Brother Wang was also a little disappointed, "Hey, something happened at the boss's family. Taking care of his family is more important."
I just feel unhappy. What's going on?
The two foodies, one big and one small, sighed deeply.
"I'm going to the store."
"I'm going to school."
Brother Wang, who returned to the store, gave breakfast to his wife and ate it with great taste.
His wife smiled and said, "Don't use steamed buns as solid food. Your expression looks like you have taken poison."
"You don't understand, wife, you don't understand. When you really want to eat something and find that you can't buy it even if you have money, it makes you feel so uncomfortable."
"Virtue!" Brother Wang's wife calls her Sister Yuan. She is much slimmer than Brother Wang.
Although Sister Yuan scolded her man, her mouth was filled with saliva as she recalled the taste of the cold noodles.
There are also those potatoes that I'm tired of eating. Once you bite into it, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of potatoes, chili oil and other seasonings. If you can't stand the spiciness, take a sip of cold shrimp...
Ah... She also felt that the steamed bun in her hand was not pleasing to the eye.
"Why don't you take something to the hospital to take a look? What if the old lady gets better and can be discharged?"
Brother Wang's eyes lit up.
Yes, it's not like he doesn't have long legs. He can go to the hospital to have a look.
For food, no shame!
Brother Wang hugged his wife and kissed her, "My wife is smarter, so you can watch her first and I'll be back soon."
"Hey, I think you taste more delicious than your own mother!"
Although Sister Yuan cursed, she couldn't help but touch her face.
Her man was indeed careless sometimes, and he was not as hard-working as the men in other families who made money, but...she touched her belly...this was good.
Brother Wang rushed to the hospital, and Muning met many nurses in the inpatient department who told her.
"Beautiful boss, when will your food stall open? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I really want to have a bite of your cold noodles."
Muning was getting hot water, but she didn't expect to meet a regular customer, and she was a little excited.
It's really exciting to be remembered for selling snacks. "My grandma is about to be discharged from the hospital. Once she is stable, my husband and I will set up a stall."
"Really? Really? What time is it? I miss the wolf-toothed potatoes. I can eat two bowls of rice for one bowl of potatoes." A younger nurse jumped out and said excitedly.
"Really, if I have you, I won't be afraid that no one will buy it when I go back to set up a stall."
After all, there hasn't been a stall in the past ten days. With so many competitors in the square, I'm afraid they may have driven away their regular customers, but obviously as long as you taste good, most people won't forget it.
"How come no one buys it!"
Before the girls could speak, Brother Wang rushed to Muning with an apple in his hand.
"Boss, I won't tell anyone else, but I will definitely buy it anyway. My wife and I really miss your cold noodle stall. No matter what other places do, it's just not as delicious as yours."
Muning was shocked, "Brother Wang, why did you come to the hospital?"
She always remembered that Brother Wang borrowed their car, and thought that her grandma had been discharged from the hospital and she must invite Brother Wang to the hotel for a good meal.
After all, without his car, grandma might not be able to wait for her to come home.
"Hey, isn't the old lady sick? I'm here to see her." Brother Wang was still a little embarrassed.
After all, no one would chase someone in front of their boss just for a bite to eat.
Muning was stunned again. It turns out that there are really such pure people in this world. He actually went to the hospital for cold noodles and wolf-toothed potatoes?
Just as Gu Lin was walking towards this side, Muning quickly waved.
"Gu Lin..."
The man looked up and walked to Muning's side in a few steps, "What's wrong?"
"Look, Brother Wang is here to see grandma."
The three of them couldn't help but chatted. Although the man was cold, he also knew how to be grateful.
After all, if something happened to Chen Xizhu, Muning would be very sad.
She is overweight now and will definitely not be able to bear this.
"Brother Wang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you need me in the future, just ask."
Although Brother Wang is fat, he doesn't look greasy at all and is even a little cute. He waved his hand and said, "It's a small thing, it's a small thing. No one drives my car anywhere. I'm happy to save your elders now. That's it." It’s a blessing.”
Muning held Gu Lin's arm, "I'll treat you to dinner in two days. Brother Wang, you must come with your family."
Gu Lin nodded. He and Muning had discussed going to the best restaurant in the county for dinner.
However, Brother Wang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "Do you have to go to a restaurant to eat?"
He felt that there was nothing delicious in this county.
"Huh? Brother Wang, do you want to go somewhere else?" Muning touched Gu Lin awkwardly, "Gu Lin and I don't know which restaurant has a good chef. How about Brother Wang introduce it to him."
Brother Wang is very straightforward and doesn't like to hide his food. He speaks directly when he has something to say, "I don't think there is any restaurant in the county that tastes good."
"ah……"
Some of Muning's dishes haven't turned a corner and they don't taste good. What should I do?
She was thinking about something and asked in a low voice, "Then if you don't mind, how about... I cook at home?"
"Don't dislike it! Don't dislike it! That's all!"
Brother Wang answered immediately.
Muning was all numb, it turned out that was what he meant.
She couldn't help but smile, "Brother Wang, aren't you afraid that our food will be unpalatable?"
"What are you afraid of? If it tastes good, eat more. If it doesn't taste good, eat less. Anyway, I believe in your craftsmanship, boss."
Muning squeezed Gu Lin's arm and said, "We have a die-hard customer."
"It's all your fault."
——
Brother Wang's sweet words made Chen Xizhu's face light up with joy. It was not until noon before he said goodbye and left the hospital. At this time, Muning grabbed grandma's hand and said softly.
"Grandma, can you stay with me from now on? Don't go back to Shanhe Village. I don't want you to go back."
Yes, when Chen Xizhu recovers and is about to be discharged from the hospital, should she return to Shanhe Village or stay in the city?
Muning was worried about her going back, but he also knew that it would not be easy for her to keep Chen Xizhu.
Sure enough, Chen Xizhu refused, "Ning Ning, what are you talking about? Your married daughter is throwing water. You are my granddaughter and I can't let you take care of her in old age. What will it look like if it gets spread?"
No matter how gentle and generous Chen Xizhu is, she is still a woman who grew up with traditional education.
Muning is already married and has become someone else's daughter-in-law. If she lives with Muning, how will the neighbors view her in the future?
Moreover, she had another thought that she didn't want to express.
Although Mu Guoliang is not her son, and he doesn't want her as a mother, but... she can't let others poke his spine and scold him for being unfilial and not supporting his parents.
This is a sin, and you will be punished by the King of Hell even after you die.
As a mother, she couldn't bear to do this, and it was the only thing she could do.
