Hope Coffee House Chapter 13: A lot of harvest
Hearing what the boss said, Wu Liang was overjoyed. He never imagined that this small bet he made easily would have the potential to make a big profit.
Wu Liang secretly used a trust card and said with a sad face: "Big Brother Han Xu is very kind to me. He used to frequent my convenience store. At that time, he was in high school and I was just in elementary school." /
"At that time, he always invited me to eat ice cream. It was the most expensive one that our family sold. It cost twelve dollars a box, and my father was reluctant to give it to me."
"Once I was bullied by junior high school students. They blocked my way and stole my pocket money. Brother Han Xu helped me to get it back."
"Afterwards, Brother Han Xu went to college and went home less often, so he seldom went to our convenience store, but every time we met, he would still treat me to ice cream."
"Since I was in my second year of junior high school, I haven't seen Brother Han Xu again. I always thought he was too busy with his studies, but I found out later..." Having said this, Wu Liang's eyes turned red, and his voice was somber. Choking up, "Han Xu is such a good person, how could he..."
Wu Liang drank a glass of sake in one gulp, looked at the boss and said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, tell me what you know about Brother Han Xu. I miss him a little."
The boss also drank a glass of sake, looked into the distance, fell into memory, and slowly said: "That kid..."
The boss's surname is Zhao, and young regular customers like to call him Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao and Han Xu first met eight years ago.
That day, Uncle Zhao sent off the last customer, cleaned the shop, and was about to close when Han Xu walked in and asked Uncle Zhao if he could make something to eat, anything.
There were not many ingredients left in the store. Uncle Zhao cooked a plate of salmon fried rice and a thick egg fried rice for Han Xu.
Han Xu had a clean meal.
As a token of gratitude, Han Xu specially asked for a whole bottle of sake when he checked out, but he was rejected by Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao told Han Xu that since he didn't want to drink it now, he might as well go to the flagship store online to buy it. It will arrive soon and the price will be much cheaper than in the store. Bring it, Uncle Zhao can help with the heat for free.
Han Xu looked at Uncle Zhao in surprise, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Uncle, you and my dad are really different."
Uncle Zhao didn't understand what Han Xu meant, he just smiled gently.
Since then, Han Xu will often come to the restaurant for dinner, occasionally invite good friends to come with him, and more often he will come alone, deliberately come late, warm a pot of sake, and take advantage of no one to meet with him. Uncle Zhao chats.
Slowly, Uncle Zhao learned that Han Xu's parents were not in a good relationship.
Han Xu's father opened a company in Shencheng and was very wealthy. Han Xu's mother worked as an executive in a foreign-funded company and spent most of the year on business trips.
When Han Xu was young, he could always see his father bringing different women home. At that time, he didn't understand anything, and he let the nanny take him to the home's video room to watch cartoons.
Gradually Han Xu grew up. During the hysterical quarrel between his mother and his father, Han Xu gradually understood that the reason why his mother was so angry was because his father cheated.
Although Han Xu didn't know what cheating meant, he always remembered that his mother held him in her arms and couldn't stop crying.
It wasn't until he entered middle school that Han Xu understood his father's betrayal of his mother, the women who were brought home by his father when he was a child, and the aunt who had a big belly and was stuck at the door of her house, and everything.
The father and mother never divorced.
There is no other reason, but the issue of property division.
Although it was the father who made the mistake, he didn't want to pay the corresponding price. On the contrary, he didn't want his mother to share even a penny.
To this end, the father exhausted his means.
Han Xu is ashamed to have such a father, he is unfaithful to his wife, he loves money more than anything, he is selfish, hypocritical, shameless, despicable...
In his own father, Han Xu saw the inferiority of many people.
Han Xu doesn't want to be like his father.
Sincerity, kindness, selflessness, loyalty, these beautiful qualities are what Han Xu has always pursued. He wants to be such a person himself, and at the same time he will be attracted by such people.
Han Xu sees sincerity and kindness in Uncle Zhao, and feels the warmth of humanity, so he always likes to come to the store alone and chat with Uncle Zhao.
A few months later, Han Xu brought a girl to Uncle Zhao's store.
That girl is Gao Qi, Han Xu's new girlfriend and Han Xu's first love.
Gao Qi is a simple and beautiful girl, kind, sincere, caring, and easily shy.
Uncle Zhao could tell that Han Xu loved Gao Qi very much.
Since then, Han Xu and Gao Qi have always come to the store together.
Uncle Zhao knew that the hurt Han Xu suffered from his original family had always been buried in his heart and tormented him constantly.
And Gao Qi is like a beam of light that can dispel the haze in Han Xu's heart.
Han Xu likes to bring Gao Qi to Uncle Zhao's shop, warm two pots of sake, and tell Gao Qi the story of his childhood.
Gao Qi has never been impatient, always listening carefully, holding Han Xu's hand, comforting him from time to time, and affirming him.
Every time Han Xu finished speaking, Gao Qi would look into Han Xu's eyes seriously and tell him that he is now a kind, sincere and sunny person, and he believes in his loyalty even more.
Those ugly scars can only be truly healed if they are uncovered by oneself, and then slowly healed by the person whom one trusts the most.
Only a clean and beautiful girl like Gao Qi can heal the wound in Han Xu's heart.
Suddenly one day, Han Xu stopped coming to Uncle Zhao.
Gao Qi also disappeared.
Uncle Zhao thought that the two of them were going out to play, but he didn't think much about it.
Until one day two months later, Uncle Zhao suddenly heard the bad news: A boy from Shencheng University committed suicide by jumping off the building. His name was Han Xu.
Uncle Zhao has never seen Han Xu and Gao Qi again, and of course, he will never see Han Xu again.
After listening to Uncle Zhao's story, Wu Liang asked tentatively, "Uncle Zhao, do you think the death of Brother Han Xu has something to do with his girlfriend Gao Qi?"
"No, you have never met Gao Qi. That girl is pure, kind, honest, and compassionate. She is a child with many beautiful qualities. It is impossible to have a relationship with her." Uncle Zhao shook his head and categorically rejected it. road.
Wu Liang stopped trying, changed the subject, and chatted with Uncle Zhao for a while, until the two finished a bottle of sake, then they settled the bill and said goodbye and left.
After searching for a hidden corner, Wu Liang returned to Hope Cafe, lying on the bed quietly thinking about the story Uncle Zhao told.
This trip has been very rewarding.
It's just Uncle Zhao's evaluation of Gao Qi, which is really interesting.
Simple?
Kind?
Honest?
Compassionate?
How could it be the real Gao Qi.
…
When Wu Liang opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.
I actually slept in my clothes all night.
Last night, I drank too much sake in Uncle Zhao's shop for the sake of rhetoric. I didn't feel anything at the time, but I didn't know that the sake had a lot of stamina. I was lying on the bed thinking about Han Xu and Gao Qi, and unknowingly Fell asleep.
Wu Liang glanced at his phone. There was only one hour left until the time he had agreed with Jia Ruofei. He hurriedly got up and brushed his teeth and took a bath.
After washing up, there is still some time left~IndoMTL.com~ Wu Liang suddenly wanted to do an experiment.
Last night, I entered Hope Cafe in Shencheng. I wonder if I can go directly from Hope Cafe to Jicheng?
Wu Liang imagined the lake park in Jicheng and opened the door.
A burst of cold air poured into Wu Liang's neck and collar, and Wu Liang was shivering. It seemed that it snowed in Jicheng last night, and there were still patches of ice and snow on the grass in Lake Park.
Wu Liang laughed happily before returning to the Hope Cafe.
In the future, as long as you are going to and from the city you have been to, you don't need to buy a plane ticket, you just need to go in and out of Hope Cafe!
Not only saves money, but also saves time!
Wouldn't I be able to eat Jicheng's fried liver with Shencheng's fried liver in the future?
When I go to more places in the future, wouldn't I be able to travel all over the cities of the Dragon Kingdom in one day?
This is so cool!
Wu Liang excitedly walked around the coffee house twice, and suddenly his body froze in place.
No.
No.
I have to fly back to Jicheng.
Nowadays, everything in the world is connected to the Internet. If your consumption records appear in Jicheng one minute and then in Shencheng the next minute, frequent changes in cross-city consumption locations in a short period of time will definitely being doubted.
Even if you use all cash for consumption, there are surveillance everywhere in today's cities. Although the probability is small, there is still a risk of exposure.
Use Hope Cafe to achieve instant cross-city operations, which can only be used in emergencies.
Unless it is a last resort, it cannot be used indiscriminately.
Wu Liang sighed, put away his previous excitement, and prepared to meet Jia Ruofei.
As Han Xu's roommate, Jia Ruofei must know something.
