sleepless tonight

Chapter 69 Ten Years
When Logan said that, it would not be good for me to say anything more, so I had to agree, get up and wash up and go downstairs.

When they got downstairs, Logan's car had already parked on the street.

"Do you have something to do this morning?" After getting into the car, Logan asked me without starting the car right away.

"It's not a big deal, but I might invite a friend to dinner later." I said.

"En." Logan responded, started the car, and drove for a while, "Isn't it appropriate for me to follow you?"

"It's okay, just eat together later, let her come by herself." Although the steamed vegetables are cheap, they taste good, and I think Liu Shuang will like them.

Tang Wan didn't say anything else, the car drove to the high school, we got out of the car, and arrived at Li Mingzhou's steamed vegetable restaurant, he was still busy, still the same as when I came that day, he didn't steam many dishes, just made some steamed dishes for a few old customers That's all.

"Did you bring your girlfriend with you this time?" Seeing Tang Wan and me, Li Mingzhou smiled.

"We are just friends. This time I came here to take over your steamed vegetable restaurant. She is also one of the investors." Tang Wan is here, so I have to explain.

"Hehe, from high school to now, the relationship of more than ten years is really enviable." Li Mingzhou didn't know whether he listened to my explanation, "What do you want to eat, order it yourself, don't be polite, the matter will be taken over soon, you have to In a short time, I will go to the printing shop below to print three contracts and sign them."

Logan and I have indeed known each other for ten years.

If it is a couple, the seven-year itch has passed for three years.

Judging from the numbers alone, it is a long period of time. How many decades can there be in one's life?But being in it, ten years is nothing more than that, as if it was just yesterday.

Some things, when I think about them carefully, are still impressive, as if they have not been dusted by the years.

I told Li Mingzhou that there might be another person coming later, and I asked him to steam two more dishes.

"Wait a minute, I'll go down and print the contract, and I'll be up right away." After finishing the steamed vegetables, Li Mingzhou left the shop.

Ten minutes later, Li Mingzhou came up and took three contracts in his hand. It was very simple, just three pieces of paper, on which were written the transferor, the successor, and the situation of the restaurant.

Sign the word, press the fingerprint, and the contract is completed.

I transferred the money to Li Mingzhou through WeChat and Alipay. The rest of the procedures are simple, and it can be done after a few more trips. This steamed vegetable restaurant has already belonged to me and Tang Wan in name.

I became the boss.

The moment I pressed my fingerprint, I felt an unspeakable feeling in my heart, which offset the sharp drop in the amount in my account.

"Congratulations, I hope you can bring the steamed vegetable restaurant back to life." Li Mingzhou shook hands with me.

"Can you stay? I'll pay you." I don't know how to steam vegetables myself, and there is still a shortage of cooks in the store.

"I really want to stay, but I can't for the time being. I want to go back and spend time with my parents. They are old and have worked hard for half their lives. I want to take them out for a while." Li Mingzhou said.

I can't stop Li Mingzhou from fulfilling his filial piety, I can only find another way to deal with the cook.

The phone rang, and Liu Shuang sent me a message, just three words: It's ok.

I knew this was her code word, so I called her immediately, and the call was answered in seconds. Before I could speak, Liu Shuang said, "You want to ask me for dinner?"

On the other side of the phone, there was someone else's voice. I understood what was going on as soon as I heard it, and immediately answered: "Mr. Liu, you must come to this dinner this time. You have shirked it several times. If you don't come, the leader will come." to blame."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely come." Liu Shuang replied helplessly, the phone seemed to be held far away, and she was talking to the people around her, "I'm sorry, I really have something to do, next..."

I can't hear the following words clearly, only the whistling wind.

The phone was not hung up, and after half a minute, Liu Shuang's voice rang again: "Tell me, where are you going to invite me to dinner?"

I reported the location of the steamed vegetable restaurant.

After more than 20 minutes, Liu Shuang called me and asked me to pick her up: "Where is the place you mentioned, why can't I find it?"

What she said broke my heart.

I have described it to Liu Shuang very carefully, but she still can't find the location of the steamed vegetable restaurant, this place is really too remote.

When I went downstairs, I saw Liu Shuang who was holding his mobile phone and kept watching: "The location is marked with you, and there is also a text, so you can't find it. How can you be a teacher, and you won't teach your children more than you want?" Are you getting more and more stupid?"

"Wouldn't the place where you invited me to dinner be hidden in the alley?" Liu Shuang was very suspicious of the place where I invited her to dinner, "I helped you so much, and I was reprimanded by the principal and complained by the parents, wouldn't you Are you planning to send me away if you want to treat me to a snack?"

"It's not a snack." I said with certainty.

"That's okay." Liu Shuang felt relieved and followed me.

After walking inside, Liu Shuang guessed again: "It's hidden so deep, it must be a very charming restaurant. Your sincerity is good."

"It's just a steamed vegetable restaurant." I confessed, "But don't worry, the taste is absolutely good. This steamed vegetable restaurant has been open for more than ten years. I used to eat at this steamed vegetable restaurant when I was in high school."

"It's really so delicious?" Liu Shuang didn't quite believe it, "You didn't invite me to eat here to save money, did you?"

"If you don't think it tastes good, I'll treat you to dinner again next time." I said, "And I will cover for you and help you get out of the blind date."

"How do you know?" Liu Shuang looked at me a little sensitively.

"You have such a loud voice, and you fled in such a hurry. I'm not deaf, and I'm not stupid. How could I not guess it?" I smiled and looked up, "Here we are, right in front, I have a friend inside .”

After entering the store, Li Mingzhou glanced at Liu Shuang, and then at me with admiration.

"Sit down." I pulled a chair for Liu Shuang.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Liu Shuang sat down carelessly, and smiled apologetically at Tang Wan, "I won't disturb your date, will I?"

"It's okay, we're not dating." Logan smiled slightly, and then looked at me, "Why don't you introduce me?"

The two women want me to introduce each other.

They could have asked by themselves, I was just planning to have a meal, there shouldn't be many interactions between Tang Wan and Liu Shuang, I don't think there is any need to introduce them at all.

But now, judging from the meaning of the two, it seems that I have to introduce: "Tang Wan, a high school classmate, Liu Shuang, Chen Ke, my daughter's teacher."

"Hello." Liu Shuang reached out his hand and shook Tang Wan, "You are so beautiful. I never thought that Chen Jin would have such a beautiful high school classmate."

I was a little speechless, my level in Liu Shuang's heart seemed to be very low.

"You are beautiful too." Logan smiled.

The steamed vegetables were served, and the tea was also put on the table. I called Li Mingzhou to eat together. He smiled and ran away, hiding far away, for fear of disturbing the three of us.

"You're not a gentleman at all, don't you know how to pour a glass of water for a lady?" Liu Shuang despised me.

"You don't know how to do it yourself?" Even so, I picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Liu Shuang and Tang Wan.

"I don't know how someone like you would know such a beautiful woman. You must not be fooled by Chen Jin. He has a daughter." Liu Shuang spoke without any scruples.

I smiled wryly: "She already knew it, you don't need to remind me, you are a teacher, and you can do such a thing like suing others, don't you think it is wicked?"

"If I watch a beautiful woman fall into a pit and ignore it, that would be wicked." Liu Shuang took a bite of the steamed vegetables, "Well, the taste is really good."

"I didn't lie to you, did I? I ate this steamed vegetable for three years in high school, and I have never gotten tired of it. It must taste very good. Eat people with a short mouth, so stop talking nonsense." Liu Shuang's personality is really like hers. Same name.

"I'm stating the facts." Liu Shuang said.

I was speechless and could only bow my head and eat the food.

Tang Wan didn't speak, and occasionally raised her head to look at Liu Shuang and me, with a hint of envy and reminiscence in her eyes, but I don't know if I was wrong.

When the meal was almost finished, Li Mingzhou came over and gave me the key to the shop: "I won't come tomorrow, and I don't plan to move the tables and chairs. If you want to use it, keep it, and if you don't use it, sell it."

"Thank you very much." The things in the store are also worth thousands of dollars, and Li Mingzhou left them to me, whether they are useful or not, they are all human favors.

"This book is also for you. It contains some common methods of steaming vegetables." Li Mingzhou gave me a book, "In fact, I have never learned how to cook in a serious way. I just figured it out slowly and cooked a lot , naturally practice makes perfect, steamed dishes are much simpler than ordinary dishes, and it is easy to use."

After receiving Li Mingzhou's book, I left, leaving Li Mingzhou sitting on a stool in the store alone, staring at the empty steamed vegetable restaurant in a daze.

Ten years, for Li Mingzhou, part of his life is entrusted here.
