Chapter 388 A Daughter

Yun Haichao pushed the door open and went in.

Yun Muxue was cleaning up the table after the guests had finished their meal, and Hu San was sitting behind the counter, seemingly looking at his phone.

Hearing the noise, both of them looked up.

Hu San was the first to look away, and Yun Muxue greeted him warmly, "What would you like to eat, old man?"

Neither of them recognized Yun Haichao. After all, more than 30 years had passed. They just felt that he looked familiar and thought he was a customer who had been to their store before. Their store was full of customers, and there were so many familiar faces.

Yun Haichao found an empty table and sat down, then said, "I don't want to eat, can I sit here and rest for a while?"

The couple were both stunned. Hu San looked at Yun Haichao curiously again, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at Yun Muxue. It was obvious that Yun Muxue was the one who made the decisions on all the family affairs.

Yun Muxue smiled and said, "Of course, you can sit down."

"Thank you."

Yun Haichao thanked him, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.

While he was still struggling, Hu San came over with a pot of tea and a disposable cup in his hand.

"Old man, drink some water." Hu San said.

"Thank you." Yun Haichao thanked him.

Hu San put down the teapot and sat down.

"From the old man's accent, he's also from the Northeast?"

"Correct."

"Oh, so we're from the same hometown. Where in the Northeast are you from?"

“From Yingkou.”

"Oh, what a coincidence, we are also from Yingkou." Hu was very happy.

"You look familiar to me. Maybe we have met before. Unfortunately, I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know how you are doing now..." Hu San seemed to open up and became talkative.

"Since you are worried about it, why don't you go back and take a look?" Yun Haichao said softly.

Hu San was choked and speechless. After a while, he said, "It's too far."

Yun Haichao just smiled and didn't continue the topic.

Hu San took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Are you here for tourism in Qionghai? Or are you planning to spend the winter here?"

"Neither, I came here to see my daughter."

Hu San was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak when Yun Muxue came up with two plates of cold dishes.

A plate of boiled peanuts and a plate of cold kelp shreds are given free of charge to guests as appetizers.

"Have a drink with the old man?" Yun Muxue looked at Hu Sandao.

"Sure, there's no business right now anyway." Hu San said with a happy face.

"No, no, it will delay your business..." Yun Haichao said hurriedly.

"It's okay. There's no business right now. Besides, we're all from the same hometown. It's fate that you can come to my store. Please take a seat. I'll go cook two dishes for you."

Yun Muxue said this and rushed to the kitchen, leaving Yun Haichao no chance to say what he wanted to say.

"Let her do her thing, we two can have a drink."

Hu San took a cup and poured Yun Haichao some wine without saying anything.

"Drink less, I can't drink much." Yun Haichao was no longer polite at this time and said with a smile.

"We are from the Northeast, how can we say we can't drink? Fill it up."

Hu San simply filled the cup in front of him.

"How old are you this year?" Hu Hansan started talking and continued the conversation.

"I'm eighty-two this year."

"You are already over 80 years old, but I see that you are still in good health. You can even come from Yingkou to look for... to find your daughter. Have you found her?"

When Hu San said this, he suddenly reacted, as if he remembered something, and stared at Yun Haichao.

Yun Haichao was calm now, and said with a smile: "I found it, and my life is pretty good."

"That...is very good...that's very good, right?" Hu San said with an awkward smile.

Then he picked up the cup, stood up, put his hands forward and said, "I...I toast you."

"Okay~." Yun Haichao also picked up the cup. Although he couldn't drink, he could still pretend to drink.

"Life must be difficult coming to Qionghai from Yingkou?" Yun Haichao took the initiative to ask.

Although he had been in Coconut City for a few days and had learned some things about his daughter, it was still short and there were many things he still didn't know.

"Well, it's okay actually..." Hu San said subconsciously.

But when he noticed Yun Haichao's look, he immediately changed his words and said, "It was difficult when we first arrived because we had no money and no place to live. We lived under bridges, picked up garbage, and ate food on the beach..."

Talking about the past, Hu San also felt sad.

"At that time, I regretted bringing my wife out. She had to suffer with me."

Hu San was also full of guilt. His eyes became moist as he spoke, and he picked up the wine glass to drink to cover it up.

"Later, a restaurant owner took us in. I worked in the kitchen and Mu Xue served dishes. The owner was also from Northeast China and was a very nice person. He not only provided us with food and accommodation, but also taught me how to cook..."

"Then you must thank them very much."

"Well, he is my master now. Every Chinese New Year, we will visit him to pay New Year's greetings." Hu San said.

"That's right. We should never forget our roots." Yun Haichao said.

"Uncle, I toast to you..." Hu San picked up the cup and stood up again.

At this time, Yun Muxue brought up two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.

"Drink slowly, my food hasn't arrived yet." As she said this, she placed two large plates of food on the table.

"Drink slowly."

As she was about to turn around and leave, she was grabbed by Hu San.

"You sit down and have a drink with us. The store is not busy right now anyway." Hu San said.

Yun Muxue was stunned at first, then she sat down readily, and Hu San quickly poured her some wine.

"Come on, old man, I'll toast you a glass." Yun Muxue said with a smile, holding the wine glass.

Yun Haichao picked up the cup with a smile.

Yun Muxue said enthusiastically: "Let's meet. Although there are many northerners in Qionghai, it is rare to meet someone from Yingkou who comes to our store. It's fate..."

In fact, although she has been in Qionghai for many years, Yun Muxue still can't hide the boldness and generosity of a northerner.

She stood up and was about to touch the sea of ​​clouds.

Yun Haichao also laughed and stretched forward the hand holding the cup.

But at this moment Yun Muxue was suddenly stunned, her hands trembled, and the wine spilled all over the table. She raised her head and looked at Yun Haichao carefully.

Yun Haichao retracted his hand, put it to his lips, took a sip and said, "Drink."

"Drink... drink..."

Yun Muxue's eyes were blurred with tears. She picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The reason why she reacted like this was naturally because she recognized Yun Haichao.

There was a scar on the base of Yun Haichao's right hand, extending directly to the back of his hand.

She was very familiar with this scar and it left a deep impression on her. It was caused by an accidental cut she made with a sickle when she was very young.

At that time, her father smiled and said it was okay, but her mother beat her severely.

"Don't drink too much, eat some food."

Yun Haichao picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and placed it in front of Yun Muxue.

Yun Muxue hurriedly put it into her mouth, as if she was afraid that she was too slow.

"Go back and visit when you have time. Your mom is old and I don't know how long she has left to live. I just miss you so much..."

"Who do you resemble with your stubborn temper? You haven't even come home in all these years..."

"Those were just my angry words back then, why did you take them seriously..."

"Seeing that you are living a good life now, I feel relieved. It's a pity that I didn't get to see your two boys. You can bring them back to meet your mother..."

"Your eldest brother had an accident a few years ago and died, but his son is very promising. He is now researching robots and is very impressive..."

……

Yun Muxue was already choking with sobs and crying, and Hu San patted her back gently with tears in his eyes to comfort her.
