Chapter 201 Chance Encounter
Chang Chun took them to the room, handed the key to Chai Lu and said:
"There's hot water at the bar, go get it if you need it. There's a toilet and shower room in the middle of the corridor, for public use. If you need anything else, go to the bar and tell us."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Hua Yan shook her head. Chang Chun's current appearance made it impossible for her to imagine what his future would be like.
"Hey! Girl, is there a restaurant nearby? We haven't eaten yet."
Chai Lu asked, looking at Chang Chun's back.
"There's one on the left when you go out the door. If you're not used to it, we can provide you with noodles."
Chang Chun said without even turning his head.
Hua Yan glanced at Miao Xianxing. The old man didn't show any change in expression, as if he was used to all this.
Chai Lu did not feel any discomfort towards Chang Chun's attitude. It seemed that this was a common phenomenon at that time.
After putting their things away, a few people didn’t want to eat noodles, so they went to the restaurant on the left.
The front of this restaurant is not big, but the space inside is quite large. There was only a man and a woman busy talking, and they looked like a couple.
It was past dinner time and not many people were around, so Hua Yan and the others found a seat and sat down.
The woman came over with a smile on her face, handed over the menu and said:
"Just watch first, I'll go get you some water."
Haha! This is the service consciousness that the SAR should have, proactive and enthusiastic, and considerate service.
"Madam, please introduce us to the characteristics of your restaurant."
The strong northeastern flavor can be smelled right out of Chailu.
“Comrade, are you from Northeast China?”
The woman was a little excited, but she spoke authentic Cantonese Mandarin.
Chai Lu was a little stunned. What was going on? Why were people from Northeastern China so popular?
"Yes! We are from the Northeast. Do you have relatives there?"
Chai Lu deliberately said something in authentic Northeastern dialect.
"Haha! My husband is from Northeast China, so I feel very close to people from Northeast China."
"Really? I've met a fellow villager. Is it convenient for us to meet?"
When Chai Lu heard that he was from Northeast China, he felt like he was back home.
"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll go get you some water and call him out."
With that, the woman left quickly.
After a while, a tall and handsome man came over with the woman.
When Chai Lu saw the man, he was stunned. He was speechless for a long time and couldn't utter a word, but his eyes were slightly red.
The man was also stunned when he saw Chai Lu, and his excited expression suddenly froze.
There was no one else in the restaurant at that time except Chai Lu and the other three.
Hua Yan and Miao looked at Chai Lu first, then the woman looked at the man, and finally Chai Lu stood up, walked to the man, and punched him hard in the chest.
"Zhu Zi, do you know how hard Uncle Li has been looking for you? Why didn't you write a letter to your family?"
Chai Lu said this and hugged the pillar.
Zhuzi, whose real name is Li Tiezhu, is a childhood friend of Chailu. More than ten years ago, he had some conflicts with his family and ran away from home out of anger. He has not returned since then.
"Lu Zi, I never thought we would meet again. I thought I would never see any of my acquaintances here again."
Li Tiezhu hugged Chai Lu and tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.
The two hugged and cried for a while, then Li Tiezhu remembered that Chai Lu came to eat, and hurriedly said:
"Lu Zi, please sit down first. I will cook you some local dishes right away."
After saying that, Li Tiezhu ran to the kitchen.
The woman also understood that her husband had met an acquaintance. She smiled and asked Chai Lu:
"Brother, are you familiar with my husband?"
"Yeah! We couldn't be more familiar with each other. Before he left home, we played together all day long."
Chai Lu was sitting there, still wiping his eyes.
The woman wanted to say a few words to Chai Lu, but Li Tiezhu inside called her to help.
Chai Lu calmed himself down and slowly told the story of his friendship with Li Tiezhu.
It turned out that the two were childhood friends and had always been good friends. Until Chai Lu got married, they were inseparable good friends.
Li Tiezhu has five brothers. His eldest brother has been married for two years and also lives with them.
Li Tiezhu's father is worried! He is worried if he has no son, and he is also worried if he has too many sons. He and his wife are just ordinary workers. When the company distributes houses, he is always the last one to be included.
Seeing that his five sons had grown up, Li Tiezhu's father had to find the factory director to discuss the issue of dividing the house.
The factory manager neither agreed nor disagreed, but started chatting and asked if Li Tiezhu had a girlfriend.
Mr. Li is an honest man. He says whatever he thinks and doesn't think there is anything that cannot be said.
"Oh my! Director, he's still dating someone? We don't even have a place to live, who would date him?"
Mr. Li sighed and looked helpless.
"Old Li, what do you think of my Yuxiu and your Zhuzi?"
"How about what?"
"They are dating!"
Father Li was stunned. What? Everyone knew the factory director's daughter. She was an ugly girl who was lazy and greedy. Not to mention that his son looked down on her, he even felt he couldn't open his mouth to talk to his son when he saw her.
"Director, your family is a leadership family, and we are a worker family. This is not a good match!"
Mr. Li thought for a long time and finally came up with this reason.
"It's okay. Our Yuxiu doesn't dislike Zhuzi. As long as Zhuzi lives a good life with Yuxiu, I will try my best to help solve your family's difficulties."
The factory manager looked like he was saying, "If you become my relative, I guarantee you'll have everything you need."
"Will this work? Children nowadays have their own ideas. I'm afraid Yuxiu will not like Zhuzi. Zhuzi is stubborn and has a bad temper. It will embarrass Yuxiu."
Father Li didn't want to agree. If he married the factory director's daughter, his son would definitely have a big fight with him.
He had heard a long time ago that his son particularly hated Yuxiu, a girl who did nothing all day and just wandered around eating melon seeds. But because her father was the factory director, no one dared to say anything.
"You are his father, how dare he disobey you. If Zhuzi and Yuxiu can get together and get married, I will approve two houses for your family. This way you won't have to worry about having no place to live."
The factory manager looked at me as if to say, this is your best choice, trust me, you will not be wrong, I will not treat you unfairly.
When he heard that he could be given two more houses, Mr. Li was not so opposed to listening to the factory director. If his son Li Tiezhu could make some sacrifices, their family's problem would be solved.
"Then I'll go home and talk to Zhuzi and ask for his opinion."
Father Li said with uncertainty in his heart.
"Okay! I'll wait for your good news."
The factory manager thought that this was almost certain.
When Mr. Li returned home, he told Li Tiezhu about this. Li Tiezhu shook his head like a rattle and firmly disagreed.
If he finds a wife like this, his life will be ruined.
"Zhu Zi, please make a sacrifice, that's two houses!
Your sister-in-law and I have never had our own house. If we can get two houses, we can move out and no longer have to squeeze in with you at home."
After hearing what Li's father said, Li Tiezhu's brother was the first to express his agreement.
"Yes, Zhuzi, if you agree to marry Yuxiu, our family and the factory director's family will be relatives in the future, and all good things will come to you."
Li Tiezhu's mother was also there to comfort him.
"Second brother, just agree to it. I have always shared a bed with the fourth and fifth brothers. It is too crowded and I can't sleep well at all."
Li Tiezhu's third brother followed suit.
The fourth and fifth brothers seemed to understand what was going on, and they looked at Li Tiezhu expectantly.
"Why me? You just want to live comfortably. Have you ever thought about my future? Yuxiu is lazy and can't do anything. How will I live in the future?"
Li Tiezhu felt sad when he saw his family trying to persuade him. In order to live a comfortable life, they pushed him out.
Haha! It really made him speechless and helpless.
