Following a loud rooster's crow, Harold opened his eyes and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the magic clock hanging opposite the bed. It was already half past six in the morning.
"Oops! We're going to be late!" Hadro's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He climbed out of bed with a groan, pulled off his pajamas, picked up the clothes beside the bed and put them on himself.
Doris was awakened by the rustling sound. She sat up and looked at Hadro who was almost dressed and asked with some confusion: "Hadro, what are you doing? Today is not the day." Taking turns?"
"Take a day off..." Hadro, who was about to walk out the door, suddenly stopped, patted his head, and smiled awkwardly, "I drank too much yesterday, and I forgot to take a day off today, Taori. Si, I'm sorry to wake you up so early."
"It's okay. You've been too tired recently. I should have reminded you last night." Doris stood up, gently hugged Hadro, and gently pressed his temples with her thin fingers, saying with some distress.
Hadro closed his eyes, enjoying his wife's acupressure massage and relaxing the headache caused by his hangover.
He is the sales director of a furniture company. Because the sales target for the second half of the year did not meet the requirements, he has been to the company at six o'clock almost every day for the past few months and drank with his customers until late at night before returning home.
Although the income was high, the high-intensity work and pressure also made him exhausted.
Fortunately, the big customer was finally negotiated last night, and the sales target for the second half of the year was achieved ahead of schedule based on this order, so we can relax a little more in the future.
The warm fingertips pressed gently on his forehead, which was so comfortable that Hadro wanted to lie down again and go back to sleep.
"Now that we're up, let's go out for breakfast." Doris said softly.
"Breakfast?" Hadro opened his eyes, yawned, shook his head and said, "I have no appetite now. I just want to have a good sleep again. And, you know, I never eat breakfast."
Doris looked into Hadro's eyes and said softly: "Last time you promised Kathy to take her out to eat delicious food. You have been too busy with work in the past few months. She mentioned it to me several times, and I didn't Didn’t tell you.”
Hadro looked at Doris and suddenly realized that in the past few months, he had been busy with work and neglected his family. She managed an entire family by herself and had to take care of the children. It was definitely not much easier than him, and she suddenly felt a little bit in her heart. Guilt.
"I'm afraid there isn't anything delicious for breakfast. How about we go out to eat at noon and evening." Hadro grabbed Doris's hand, gently put it on his face, and said softly: "I haven't been with you for a long time. After dinner, let’s go to Ducasse’s restaurant.”
That's where they fell in love.
They would go together as a family on that day every year, but this year he didn't take her because he was too busy at work.
"I promised Kathy to take her to Aden Square this morning." Doris shook her head slightly and looked at Hadro with some worry: "The doctor said that your stomach problem can no longer be ignored. If you don't eat breakfast, it will get worse." It continues to get worse, I heard that there is a very good restaurant called 'Maimi Restaurant' in the square recently, let's go and try it."
Hadro didn't care about the stomach trouble in his heart. He could endure the pain and get over it. What did it have to do with breakfast.
His mouth and tongue are dry now, his head is a little dizzy, and his whole body is resisting breakfast.
But looking at Doris's expression, he couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's pack up and get ready to go out."
Not long after, the family of three went out, with the seven or eight-year-old girl holding the hands of two adults.
"Dr. Matthew, are you back from morning exercises so early?" As soon as they went out, the family met an old man doing morning exercises, and Hadro greeted him with a smile.
This is their neighbor, a famous doctor in the City of Chaos.
"Harold, your face doesn't look good. Did you drink a lot last night?" Dr. Matthew stopped and looked at Hadrow with a frown.
Hadro glanced at Doris, smiled, shook his head and said, "I drank some wine last night, but I must be too tired recently. It doesn't matter."
"Doctor Matthew, please take a look at him. He came back and vomited last night, and there was blood in the vomit." Doris said with worry.
Casey, who was wearing a ponytail, also looked at Dr. Matthew and begged: "Grandpa Matthew, please help my father take a look."
Dr. Matthew stared at Hadro for a while and said solemnly: "Hadro, although you are still young, your stomach is already worse than that of an elderly person like me. Come to my clinic later." Let’s go, starting from today, you can’t drink anymore, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on for too long.”
"Okay, I'll come." Hadro responded with a smile, and then took Doris and Cathy into the carriage.
"Although Dr. Matthew is a good person, he still likes to use doctors to scare people." Hadro comforted himself in his heart, but looking at his wife and daughter sitting opposite, his heart was still filled with a haze.
"Go to Mamie's," said Hadro and the driver.
…
"Today's new product: soy milk and fried dough sticks set! Special for breakfast!"
It says on the wooden sign at the door of Maimi's restaurant this morning.
"What's soy milk? What's fried dough sticks? It's only served for breakfast."
"Maybe the soy milk and fried dough sticks are connected together?"
"No matter what it is, Boss Mai finally developed the first pure breakfast set."
Although it was still early, there was already a long queue at the door. The guests looked at the notice and speculated curiously.
The Hadlow family's carriage stopped outside Mamie's Restaurant. He opened the curtain and looked at the long queue at the door of the restaurant. He couldn't help but smacked his tongue: "It's not even seven o'clock, how can it be like this?" How many people are queuing up?”
"I heard that this restaurant ranked first in the new food rankings and is very popular. I didn't expect there to be so many people." Doris was also surprised. Although she was mentally prepared before coming, I didn't expect there would be so many guests.
Casey's eyes lit up, he looked up at Hadro and said, "My classmates said that the ice cream in this restaurant is super delicious. Father, can I have one?"
"If Kathy wants to eat, of course you can." Hadro said with a smile. Although he didn't like queuing up early in the morning, since Kathy liked it, it wasn't so hard to accept. Anyway, today's task is to play with them. one day.
The Hadlow family lined up in the queue, listening to the guests divided into two teams occasionally arguing over the sweet and salty tofu noodle. More attention fell on the new product launched today.
"It's a very interesting restaurant." His keen sense of sales made him feel that this restaurant was extraordinary, but he still didn't want to eat breakfast. A glass of water was better than anything else.
The restaurant started to open, and the guests filed in in an orderly manner. Hadro was a little surprised that the interior decoration of this restaurant that suddenly appeared in the corner of the square was so exquisite and elegant. After sitting down, he didn't bother to open the menu and look at the order. The waiter said: "I want one of your new breakfast sets."
