Last night, Zhang Ran suddenly asked her if she had any business in Los Angeles. At that time, Huo Zhiyuan was a little confused and subconsciously said that there was no business.
But seeing Zhang Ran's unnatural expression, she understood something and immediately changed her mind and said that she needed to talk about some business and wanted him to accompany her.
Huo Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud at that time, and suddenly discovered that Brother Zhang, who had always had a very tall image in her mind, also had such a cute side.
Not only did this not destroy the image of Brother Zhang in her heart, but she actually liked him even more.
He Yong stood there with a cold face and said nothing. It was not that he was unhappy, but that he was afraid that he would not collapse and laugh out loud, which would be bad.
... ... ... ...
Although Los Angeles Chinatown is not as famous as Chinatowns in New York and San Francisco, it is also one of the oldest Chinatowns in Europe and the United States.
There is a small restaurant here, called Lao Zhou Restaurant.
This restaurant has been open for more than 30 years. It is an old restaurant and the food is quite good, so the business is generally good.
In the morning, Xu Meijuan went to the vegetable market early to buy vegetables, and then started to prepare. She cleaned up all morning and opened at noon.
They don't do breakfast business here. They did it in the beginning and the business was quite good.
But since they started this business, the business of an old lady nearby has deteriorated, and finally the old lady of the Zhou family decided not to do this business.
Although it was fair competition, and their business was good because their taste was better than the old lady's, Mrs. Zhou decided not to do this business.
Although the old lady had passed away a few years ago, they had no intention of making breakfast again.
However, it was precisely because of their actions that their family instantly integrated into the place. Some elderly people and neighbors in the surrounding area also took great care of them.
And also take care of their business.
After clearing the tables and chairs, Xu Meijuan began to wait for the guests to come. During this period, she was in a daze.
She and her mother-in-law seemed to be poor people. Her mother-in-law was also widowed in her early years and raised her son Zhou Fei alone.
When she married Zhou Fei, the Zhou family was at its best. At that time, she heard that Zhou Fei worked for a big boss and earned a lot of salary every year.
In the first year, Xu Meijuan did experience the kind of wealthy life, but in the second year, she was pregnant, and then she was taken to the United States by Zhou Fei.
Going to the United States was something that countless people envied, and Xu Meijuan was indeed very happy at that time.
But after arriving here, they got a piece of news that made their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a little bit devastated, that is, her husband was dead.
However, it left them a large legacy, which is still very considerable even now.
It would be false to say that they were not moved, but the mother-in-law didn't know what was going on. After chatting alone with the person who picked them up for a while, she rejected the inheritance with a very firm attitude.
At that time, Xu Meijuan just asked, and her mother-in-law said: "We can't take this money, it's dirty!"
Mrs. Zhou was afraid that Xu Meijuan would think too much, so she said, "You can give birth to the child with peace of mind. From now on, if you want to get married or go home, it's up to you."
You won’t be short of money either, our family still has some savings. "
At that time, their family did still have some money. After all, Zhou Fei's salary was quite high back then, and he even had foreign exchange.
This was also the capital they used to buy a house and a shop after arriving in Chinatown.
Xu Meijuan did not leave the Zhou family or remarry, she just quietly brought up her children.
She has also asked some things over the years, especially why the old lady refused the inheritance, but the old lady never said the reason.
The old lady has been in poor health recently. I wanted to say something to her several times, but in the end I never said anything.
Xu Meijuan just inadvertently heard the old lady say something quietly, "I don't have time, I can only owe you an apology. It's because I didn't educate my children well."
Thinking of these, Xu Meijuan unconsciously became distracted.
But I quickly came to my senses, and at this time, someone had come to eat. In the past, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy, but now that the mother-in-law is not in good health, she does not go to the hospital for medical treatment, and just stays alone.
Fortunately, many of the customers here are regular customers, and they know that she is a little busy on her own, so she basically serves the food and pays the bill by herself.
This saved Xu Meijuan a lot of things.
"Where's that bastard in your family? Why don't you let him help?" an old man said.
Xu Meijuan sighed and said, "You call him a bastard. How can I count on him? If he doesn't cause trouble for me, I'll be in trouble."
"Hey, I'm not telling you that this boy of yours has a really stubborn temper. Even Sister Zhou's personality can't be controlled by him, so..." The old man didn't know what to say.
For these two widows of the Zhou family, people around them admire them very much. They have strong personalities and never trouble others for no reason.
He would not cause any trouble for himself. Some people wanted to come over to cause trouble, or deliberately spread some rumors, but Mrs. Zhou beat them back.
Once, because someone lost face on their side, they deliberately said a lot of bad things about Xu Meijuan, many of which were unpleasant.
You must know that it is not nonsense to say that there are many people at the widow's door.
The slightest rumor can be taken as true.
The old lady of the Zhou family knew what it felt like, so she rushed to the door of the family with a kitchen knife, blocked the door and asked them to apologize.
With that posture, if someone hadn't stopped her, the old lady of the Zhou family would have really dared to kill someone!
Neighbors and neighbors all know the character of the old lady of the Zhou family. She must have a strong character and never trouble others if she can do things by herself.
But when it comes to the education of her grandson, the old lady of the Zhou family seems a little confused and doesn't know how to educate her.
Maybe a second-generation relative
Or maybe something else. Anyway, the old lady of the Zhou family is always a little constrained when it comes to the education of her grandson.
This also caused Zhou Gang, Zhou Fei's son to drop out of school after finishing high school. Of course, this is very common in Europe and the United States.
After all, except for those students who can get full scholarships, other schools in Europe and the United States are very expensive.
Xu Meijuan didn't know how to educate her son. She was just an uneducated rural woman. Although she had lived in the United States for such a long time, she was still the same rural woman and had not changed much.
My son is thirty years old, but now he doesn’t even have a wife. He has quite a few girlfriends, but he hasn’t settled down yet.
Xu Meijuan was fooling around every day, and there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing that was comforting was that Zhou Gang was relatively filial.
