"How is Sister Zhou's health?" the old man asked.
Xu Meijuan sighed and said: "It's still the same, asking her not to go to the hospital. It's really frustrating."
"Hey, if you don't want to go, don't go. You will suffer even if you go." The old man said as if he felt the same way.
In fact, at their age, they basically know their own situation. Even if they go to the hospital for treatment, they will not live for a few years, and they will still suffer.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one in the restaurant. Just when Xu Meijuan was about to take a rest, three people came in from the door.
It was Zhang Ran and the other three.
He Yong knew what to do when he heard Zhang Ran say he was a little hungry, and drove them over directly.
"Hello, who are you?" Xu Meijuan asked, holding on to her sore waist.
After working for such a long time, she felt very tired.
"Three people." Zhang Ran said.
"Please sit down. This is the menu. What do you want to eat?" Xu Meijuan took the menu and said.
Zhang Ran looked at the menu and said immediately: "A portion of Dongpo Pork."
He ordered this one dish, and left the rest to Huo Zhiyuan and He Yong.
When Zhang Ran said the name of the dish, Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "Have you heard about our Dongpo Pork?"
"Have I not eaten before?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.
"You don't look like someone who comes here often, so you probably heard someone tell you. Of course, this is just my guess." Xu Meijuan said quickly.
Dongpo Pork is the most unique dish of their family, and it is also the best dish made by her mother-in-law. It can be said that it is famous far and wide. Basically, those who like this taste are very impressed by this dish of theirs.
Zhang Ran said: "I have eaten it, but not in a store."
Of course he had eaten it. This was also a dish that the old lady of the Zhou family cooked back then to thank him for his hard work.
Soon He Yong and Huo Zhiyuan also ordered their dishes, and then Xu Meijuan said: "You guys wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
With that said, he went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhang Ran and He Yong were just chatting and playing with their mobile phones, as if they were really here to eat.
Xu Meijuan's cooking speed is also relatively fast, and all the dishes are served in half an hour.
"Boss, how is your business here?" Zhang Ran asked while eating.
Xu Meijuan sat on a chair to take a rest, took a sip of water and said casually: "The business is not bad, after all, I just want to make some hard-earned money."
"Indeed, the restaurant business is quite hard." Zhang Ran nodded.
"Actually, no matter what you do, making money is hard, but for bosses like you, it's probably very easy." Xu Meijuan said with a smile.
"Haha, how did you know that we are the boss?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.
"Your magnanimity, your magnanimity looks extraordinary." Xu Meijuan praised.
It is normal to chat with guests while they are eating. Although Xu Meijuan is not very educated, she can still praise people.
And she also felt that these people did not look like ordinary people.
"Thanks for the compliment, I'm just doing a little business." Zhang Ran said.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Ran asked without seeming to care: "By the way, I heard that the Dongpo pork made by your old lady tastes better. Is she off today?"
Xu Meijuan sighed and said: "The old lady is old and not in good health. She has been resting recently. I'm really sorry."
She thought Zhang Ran and the others were here just for the old lady's Dongpo pork, and there was still a slight gap between her and the old lady's Dongpo pork.
Everything is obviously the same, but it's not as delicious as the old lady's. Xu Meijuan doesn't know why.
Zhang Ran said: "Nothing to apologize for, your Dongpo pork tastes good too."
"It's worse than my old lady's," Xu Meijuan said.
While they were chatting, a bald young man walked in, with muscles and tattoos all over his body.
However, He Yong could tell at a glance that this was not a tattoo, but a tattoo sticker. It was just a more exquisite one. People who didn't know better couldn't tell it at all.
"Mom, I'm busy." Zhou Gang said with a smile.
Xu Meijuan looked at her son coming over and said angrily: "I just had a rest, what happened? What trouble did you get into again? Let me tell you, the family has no money, and the money has to be reserved for your grandma's treatment."
Also, wash these things off your body quickly. Your grandma will be angry again if she sees it. It's best not to make her angry now, you know? "
Zhou Gang said a little aggrievedly: "I didn't ask for money either. I haven't asked you for money since I came out. And I also made some money during this period. This is for you to get money."
After speaking, Zhang Ran took out a wad of money and looked at it for a moment. He estimated that it was at least 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars.
Seeing the money, Xu Meijuan was stunned for a moment, "Where did you get this money? Did you do something bad?"
Zhou Gang said quickly: "Mom, everything is normal business. Didn't I open a car repair shop with my friends some time ago? This is stock dividends.
Now that grandma is sick, you should quickly take the money to grandma. Our family is not short of money. Let her go to see a doctor quickly and don't put it off all day long.
By then, the minor problems would turn into serious illnesses. I really don’t know what the old lady was thinking. "
Xu Meijuan frowned. She knew her son's filial piety, "You can give this money to your grandma yourself."
"I won't go. The old lady will be angry again when I go. She will inevitably be scolded. I don't want to be scolded for no reason. Besides, the old lady's health is not very good now. If she wants to scold me, I have to wait for her to recover. Let’s talk after we get better.” Zhou Gang simply refused.
Growing up, the old lady scolded him all the time and beat him once or twice.
So Zhou Gang was still a little worried about the old lady.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the door. They all looked vicious and did not look like good people.
"Jack, don't you have a saying in China that a monk who can run can't run from the temple? Why don't you run now? Are you running?" the leader said fiercely.
Jack, that is, Zhou Gang saw the expressions of these people change.
"John, if you have anything to say, go out and say it. Don't be stuck here." Zhou Gang took a deep breath and said.
At the same time, he smiled relaxedly at Xu Meijuan and said, "Mom, my friend is here. I'm going out to play first. I'm a little tired during this time, so I just want to relax."
Zhou Gang bullied Xu Meijuan because she didn't understand English very well. Xu Meijuan could barely understand some common expressions, ordering dishes, meals, and checkout, but basically couldn't understand the rest.
After so many years, Xu Meijuan rarely leaves Chinatown, but people like her are used to this kind of life.
