Chapter 106 The Benefactor
Opened in a secluded alley, this small restaurant is very ordinary, with simple decoration style, terrazzo floor, several sets of log-colored tables and chairs, and there seems to be greasy on the table, which does not seem to be a pleasant place.It seems that every city has this kind of small restaurant, unremarkable and not too clean, but affordable.

Su Siqi hadn't eaten at this kind of place for a long time. It was nothing like when she was at school and when she first went to work, but she came to this kind of place more often.

Did Lin Haonan bring her nostalgia here?

She tilted her head and looked at Lin Haonan with a smile: "Is there anything special here? It's worth your long journey to find it?"

Lin Haonan asked her back: "You don't remember this place?"

Su Siqi shook her head, she really has no memory, maybe she came here with Lin Haonan before?There is not much money in school, I can only afford this kind of small restaurant.

Lin Haonan said, "Think again."

Su Siqi sat down and looked at this small restaurant again. It was meal time, and the business here was pretty good. Every table was full of people. Two high school students wearing the same school uniform were taking orders for customers. The middle-aged woman was serving the dishes, and a loud male voice was heard shouting from the other side of the kitchen: "The fish at table three is slightly spicy or medium spicy?"

The girl answered with a raised voice, "Slightly spicy is fine."

The boy walked to their table and asked politely, "Excuse me, would you like...?" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze for a moment, and called them hesitantly, "Brother Lin, Sister Su."

Lin Haonan greeted him with a smile: "Zilong, long time no see, you are so tall."

The boy named Zilong became excited immediately, "It's really Brother Lin and Sister Su, I still don't dare to admit it!" He shouted at the middle-aged woman, "Mom, Brother Lin and Sister Su are here!"

The middle-aged woman rushed over, her voice was louder, and she shouted more and more lively, "Oh, it's really Xiao Lin and Xiao Su!" She said and bowed deeply to them, "You two benefactors, these years have been too much! Thank you all! Thank you, thank you, Zilong Zifeng, kowtow to your brothers and sisters..."

Su Siqi was so frightened by her actions that she quickly stood up and held the child who was about to kneel on the ground: "Auntie, what are you doing, please don't do this, we can't bear it."

Lin Haonan held back the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, if you want to do this, we won't come next time."

The middle-aged woman said: "It's not popular in the city, is it? That son Long Zifeng bows to his brothers and sisters. You always ask for bows. You have helped us so much. I really don't know how to thank you. If you don't come , We don’t dare to make phone calls, for fear of affecting your work, you are far away in Bei’an, and you are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and today is finally here, Auntie is so happy.”

"We came to S city on a business trip, and we stopped by to see you. Zilong and Zifeng told me that they both got into the ideal school. Auntie, there are two college students in our family. Congratulations to you!"

"Thanks to your support these past few years, otherwise their father and I would not be able to afford it!" The middle-aged woman said and bowed to them: "Thank you so much, you send us money every month, I know that At that time, you also just graduated, and your salary is not high, and you still have to squeeze out money to send to your two children, so thank you so much!"

A loud male voice came from the other side of the kitchen: "Hurry up and serve the food!"

The middle-aged woman replied: "Come as soon as you come, come out quickly, the benefactor is here!" She spoke with a hometown accent, and her loud voice sounded a little funny.

There were customers urging, and the two children ran to serve the dishes.

The middle-aged man came out of the kitchen, the clothes on his body were almost drenched in sweat. He wiped his face with a towel as he walked, and when he saw Lin Haonan and Su Siqi, he quickened his pace and arrived in front of him in two or three steps, grabbing Lin Haonan's hand : "Oh, what a benefactor, Xiao Lin, Xiao Su, thank you so much these past few years, I really..." The thick man became excited for a moment, unable to speak, his eyes were full of tears, and he quickly wiped it with a towel. After a while, he was about to kneel on the ground.

Lin Haonan quickly stopped him: "Uncle, I told my aunt just now, you have to be so polite, we won't come next time."

The middle-aged woman slapped her husband, "People in the city don't like this, so please bow."

Lin Haonan stopped him: "Don't, don't, we..."

Before the words finished, the man broke free from his hand and bowed deeply to them.It made Lin Haonan and Su Siqi's faces turn red.

Su Siqi was completely at a loss. She heard that Lin Haonan had been subsidizing the education of the pair of siblings for the past few years, but she didn't understand what this had to do with her?Why did they know her, but she didn't have the slightest impression?
"Uncle, aunt, go and do your work quickly, don't worry about us, there are guests calling."

The middle-aged man said: "It's okay, let the siblings deal with it for a while, you come here once in a while, say, what do you want to eat, uncle will make it for you."

Lin Haonan thought for a while, and said, "There are only two of us, and we can eat meat and vegetables. Uncle can figure it out."

"Okay, Uncle remembers your favorites. Xiao Su likes spicy chicken, and Xiao Lin likes braised large intestines, right? When you come to Uncle, Uncle will definitely make you happy."

The husband and wife said some more words of thanks before going to work.

As soon as they left, Su Siqi asked Lin Haonan: "What's going on? How did they recognize me? And do they know that I like spicy chicken?"

Lin Haonan had a strange look: "I saw someone, but you still haven't remembered? Then your memory is too bad, right?"

Su Siqi shook her head: "I really don't remember, sometimes I feel like my memory is disconnected, and suddenly I can't connect anywhere."

Lin Haonan teased her: "You are only in your 20s, and you are still far from dementia? What can you do if your memory is so bad?"

Su Guoqi said: "I don't know, maybe the menopause is early." She also felt that something was wrong, and occasionally some strange pictures would appear in her mind, like memories or dreams, which always made her unclear.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Lin Haonan told her the whole story.

It turns out that Zilong and Zifeng, surnamed Wang, are twins who were in junior high school three years ago.The family's livelihood depends entirely on this small restaurant, and it also supports the frail and sick grandparents.Life is tight, and the two children have good grades. If they go to high school together, I am afraid that the family will not be able to provide for it. High school is not compulsory education, and there are tuition fees, books and miscellaneous fees, food expenses, school uniform fees...etc. , It adds up to a lot of expenses. It is still barely enough to support one child's education, but two are really powerless.After the couple discussed, they planned to let the two siblings draw lots to decide their own fate.

On the day of the lottery, they ate at this small restaurant. Because they came here often, they also knew something about the siblings. They helped their parents with work in the store every day, and their grades were not bad. As soon as they were combined, they proposed to help the siblings.This family is very simple country people, and they are not willing to accept other people's favors for nothing. Lin Haonan persuaded them for a long time before they agreed.

In this way, Lin Haonan sent money to the children in the names of two people every month. He had just graduated at the time and his salary was not high, but he never failed to send money to the children.Even when his father had an accident, he persisted.After receiving the news of the two children, he sent out the tuition fees for the university. With his current ability, it is no problem to support them until they graduate from university.

That's all there is to it.

Su Siqi was greatly moved when she heard that, it is easy to do good deeds once, but what is rare is that she keeps doing them all the time, no wonder the couple is so grateful to them, it's just not a good idea.But... How could she forget such a big thing?
She was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Haonan, I really don't remember this matter. In fact, you can send it in your own name. I didn't participate. Why do you have to say that we are together and let them misunderstand like this?" , made me so embarrassed."

"You participated, and you have always paid for it. Later, when we broke up, you stopped, Siqi," Lin Haonan held her hand: "I should be the one who said sorry, I made you sad, and you I don't have the mind to continue. At that time we separated, but I think about you all the time, this is the only thing that can connect me and you, so no matter how hard it is, I will bite Teeth hang on."

"Haonan," Su Siqi said with tears in his eyes, "You are so stupid!"

"Stupid people are lucky." Lin Haonan looked at her and smiled, "Because of my persistence, I found you."

"All these years, I have wrongly blamed you."

"No, I hope you hate me. Only by hating me can you make your life better."

"Haonan," Su Siqi couldn't bear it any longer, she blinked, tears fell down, and disappeared in an instant.

"It's really useless, I will cry like this." Lin Haonan reached out to wipe her tears, and joked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, why did you become sister Lin? Where is that little hedgehog with a strong heart?"

Su Siqi patted him with a smile: "You are just a little hedgehog!"

Zifeng came over to serve the food. She was a very shy girl with a blushing face and lowered her head. She put the two bowls of food on the tray on the table and said softly, "Brother Lin, Sister Su, eat slowly. , there are more vegetables in the back."

Su Siqi asked her: "Zifeng, what major did you apply for in university?"

Zifeng smiled shyly: "I study medicine."

Su Siqi gave her thumbs up: "Study medicine is good, save lives and heal the wounded. When you finish learning, I will seek medical treatment from you."

"Then I, I don't charge for medicine."

Su Siqi laughed: "You're going to be a doctor in a hospital after graduation, and you don't have to deal with collecting money."

"I want to go back to my hometown and open a clinic. It's too inconvenient for people in my hometown to see a doctor."

Su Siqi didn't expect her to say this, she was stunned for a moment, and took her hand: "Okay, with this heart, you will definitely become a good doctor in the future."

After Zifeng left, Su Siqi said: "This child is good and kind-hearted. I will take care of her tuition fees from now on. You can take care of Zilong."

"Okay," Lin Haonan was not polite to her: "I can't wait for you to share the burden. We will support them together in the future."

They only wanted two meat and two vegetables, but the dishes were kept on the table, the table wasn't big enough, and it took a lot of effort to put those dishes on. Su Siqi counted them, and there were as many as ten dishes.She and Lin Haonan kept pushing that they didn't want it anymore, but the Wang family only cared about that. Lin Haonan and Su Siqi had great kindness to them, and these few dishes could repay them, but they thought it wasn't enough.

How could such a big table have enough food? Su Siqi called the four members of Wang's family to eat together. The six people ate and drank around two tables, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite good.Aunt Wang had a loud voice and kept bringing food to them. Uncle Wang had a simple and down-to-earth personality, and he would only express his gratitude in the most direct way-a toast.Zilong also toasted them with a glass of wine. Although Zifeng didn't know how to drink, he also made an exception to toast to them, but he choked on the wine and coughed.

The meal didn't end until after ten o'clock.Lin Haonan wanted to pay, but the Wang family refused to accept the money, saying that if they took the money, they would be struck by lightning, and they also said that as long as they were in S city, they were welcome to come over for dinner every day.The family of four sent them all the way to the car.Both of them drank, so Su Siqi called for a driver.
