scholar?

Received a good education since childhood?

It seems that old John's family was quite rich when he was a child.

Old John was still silent, and judging from his expression, he seemed to have remembered a lot of things that even confused himself.

"Brother John, what did you remember? Did you remember why you stopped working? Did you remember your wife and children? Did you remember your parents and relatives?" Huang Fugui looked more anxious than old John.

Old John shook his head.

"Then what did you remember?" Huang Fugui, Jiang Qi and Wang Erya asked in unison.

Old John said with a very complicated expression: "I remembered...a fragment of learning."

Huang Fugui:?

"A lot, very messy, and very mixed." Old John looked at Huang Fugui, "When you think of your experience as a peddler, do you think of it in fragments or in its entirety?"

"Of course it is complete." Huang Fugui said, "When the boss reminded me, I recalled all my experiences as a peddler."

"I'm not." Old John was still digesting what he had just remembered. "All I remembered were fragments of learning, fragments of learning from childhood to adulthood."

"When I was a kid, I was at home." Old John squinted his eyes, as if trying to recall the environment at home when he was a kid, but failed. "Before college, I was taught by a tutor."

Jiang Qi:?

"Don't you miss your parents and relatives at home?" Huang Fugui asked curiously.

Old John shook his head: "Only the tutor and the maid were present when we were studying."

Jiang Qi:? ?

"I majored in bridge construction and minored in mathematics in college. As far as I can remember, I completed my studies. There was a long period of time in between when I stopped studying. By the time I started studying again, I was probably already a cleaner."

"That's all." Old John confirmed that there was nothing else. "Just the memory of the learning part."

Jiang Qi: ???

It sounds like Old John's past is even more confusing.

The card details were indeed correct, he had many secrets.

"It's okay." Jiang Qi comforted, "I just took a look at the star upgrade progress, and the respected reputation value is already 39. According to the 5:1 ratio, Mr. John, you only need to get a maximum of 1,100 respected reputation points to upgrade to three stars."

"If nothing goes wrong, you will be able to recall all your memories when you reach three stars. Then you will understand everything you don't understand."

"Yes, Brother John, don't be discouraged. You will definitely remember it." Huang Fugui encouraged.

"Yes, Uncle John is so capable, he will definitely remember it." Although Wang Erya didn't quite understand, she also said loudly.

Old John was a little surprised to see everyone suddenly start to comfort her.

He doesn't think that not being able to remember his parents and relatives is a bad thing. He has his own way of life, and he feels comfortable even without most of his memories.

No relatives, no friends, no love from his wife, no care from his children - these are all part of life for old John, and he seems to be accustomed to this feeling of loneliness.

Loneliness has long been a part of his life, and he can live like this with or without memory.

but……

It’s not a bad feeling to be cared for.

"I'm fine." Old John smiled faintly and glanced at the smoking kitchen. "It seems like there's smoke in the kitchen."

Huang Fugui was shocked and rushed into the kitchen: "My roast pork with bean curd sticks!"

Then everyone had burnt bean curd sticks and grilled pork at noon.

"Boss." Wang Erya tugged at Jiang Qi's clothes as if she had discovered a new world, and whispered when Old John went into the room to get a cup of water, "Uncle John is smiling."

.

Since Jiang Qi had to go to the train station to pick up Wang Zhuo in the afternoon, he would not go to the store with Huang Fugui and the others in the afternoon. In order to show her respect for the first day of work, Wang Erya deliberately put on her favorite pink skirt that she had bought and put away in her closet like a treasure, and went to work happily.

Wang Zhuo's train arrived at 4:37 pm, and Jiang Qi's bus ride to the train station only took more than 20 minutes. With nothing to do, Jiang Qi happily stayed at home for a few hours, and paid attention to Old John's fan support group during the trip.

There are already 92 people in the group. It is better to call it a postgraduate entrance examination sharing group rather than a fan group. Everyone is very sharing and shares the tutoring books they have been using recently with group members, and also complains about the major tutoring institutions. The messages are often 99.

At 4:37 pm, Jiang Qi arrived at the train station on time.

There is an old lady selling sesame cakes at the entrance of the train station. Her sesame cakes are the best. They cost 1 yuan for two and the price has not increased for many years. They are fragrant and crispy. If it rains, you can smell the aroma of the cakes in the rain from dozens of meters away.

Jiang Qi always buys two sesame cakes every time he comes to the train station, and this time is no exception. Because it is not a holiday, there are not many people at the train station, and Jiang Qi, who is eating sesame cakes while waiting for someone, stands out.

"Old Jiang!" After a few months of graduate studies, his hairline moved back 0.5 cm, he became whiter, and his face became rounder. Wang Zhuo waved excitedly at Jiang Qi while carrying a suitcase.

"Son, Daddy misses you so much!" Wang Zhuo put down the suitcase and rushed towards Jiang Qi.

"Get out!" Jiang Qi dodged sideways, allowing Wang Zhuo to almost have a close contact with the stone pillar.

Wang Zhuo went back to get his suitcase with a smile on his face. Jiang Qi stuffed a sesame bun into his hand and they walked out together.

"This sesame seed cake is pretty good. Where did you buy it? Old Jiang, how is your script store doing?"

Jiang Qi pointed to the grandmother who was selling sesame cakes nearby, and the grandmother smiled and nodded at Jiang Qi.

"It's OK. The script business hasn't been very good recently, but the milk tea business is good."

Wang Zhuo:?

What kind of store do you run?

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

"About a week, then I'll stay at Yu Fang's place for a few days, and then go home and lie down for the last few days." Wang Zhuo planned his 20-day vacation very well. "I heard from my senior sister that there will be no vacation during the summer vacation and National Day, so I have to hurry up and go out."

"By the way, what do you want to eat tonight, hot pot, barbecue, Japanese food, stir-fried vegetables or vegetable noodles?" Jiang Qi stood on the side of the road and looked around. There were no taxis, so he took out his cell phone and started calling an online taxi.

Although Wang Zhuo didn't understand why the vegetable noodles were put together with the ones from a few days ago, he thought that he and Jiang Qi had been classmates for four years and had brought him countless breakfasts. With such a deep friendship, Jiang Qi shouldn't treat him to an ordinary bowl of vegetable noodles.

There must be something special about this vegetable noodle.

"Green vegetable noodles."

Jiang Qi changed the destination to the store.

"If you want to eat green vegetable noodles, you have to go to my restaurant. I have a full-time DM in my restaurant, Uncle Huang, who makes green vegetable noodles that are really good. Every night people line up to eat noodles in my restaurant. If you go now, you can catch up with our restaurant opening and have side dishes."

As he was talking, Jiang Qi suddenly realized that sesame sesame cakes with noodles are also a good match. It happened that Grandma Xu's pot of sesame cakes had just come out of the pot, and Jiang Qi hurried over to line up and bought the 15 sesame sesame cakes that others had left, and returned home with a full load.

"Shaobing can be eaten with noodles as a side dish," Jiang Qi explained.

Wang Zhuo: ???

What kind of store do you run?
