Chapter 543: Good Fortune (2)
"..." The second son had a sad expression. Although his little sister had died decades ago, it was an unspeakable pain in the family.
"This child..." The old man sighed and looked ahead. He didn't know what he was thinking about. His eyes were wet. He whispered, "Check it out carefully."
"Okay." The eldest son nodded. He knew what she was talking about without asking.
This episode did not cause any waves for Ruan Jiaojiao. When Master Zeng had almost finished cleaning up the restaurant, she went in and sat on a chair, lying on the table, quietly waiting for the Ruan family to come back.
Xu Xu sat beside her and did the same thing as her, but his eyes were always on her.
Ruan Jiaojiao sighed countless times, and he finally put his hand on her little hand.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked over.
"Get some sleep," Xu Xu said.
"No." Ruan Jiaojiao squinted her eyes and shook her head, and continued to change her hands to pillow her head.
Master Zeng and his apprentice were calculating today's losses, and made a rough estimate. Finally, they sighed and thought that this month was wasted.
Especially for chefs, they can't stand others wasting food. They feel painful when they think of those dishes with glass shards and porcelain bowl residue that can't even be fed to pigs.
Ruan Jiaojiao waited for a long time, until after nine o'clock in the evening, when Ruan Linshi and Shu Jie came back in Ruan Xu's car.
The whole street was already quiet. As soon as the car stopped, Ruan Jiaojiao immediately jumped off the chair, and Master Zeng also woke up from his sleep and ran to open the store door.
"Grandma, Mommy." Ruan Jiaojiao looked out in the light from the house, but she only saw Ruan Xu and them, not the three uncles and dad, and her heart sank.
"Did you eat, dear?" Ruan Lin was exhausted, but the first thing she did after getting off the car was to hold Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms and ask.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded and looked at Shu Jie beside her.
Shu Jie also looked very tired, with dark circles under her eyes. She was rubbing her nose bridge, feeling her daughter's gaze, pursing her lips and smiling at her tenderly, stroking her little head: "Dear, it's so late, why don't you go to bed? There is a room in the back, you should go to sleep for a while."
"Mom, Dad and the others..."
"They will be fine, Mom is here, and grandma is here, what are you afraid of, they are just temporarily staying at the police station, and your godfather is here too, don't be afraid, it will be fine." Shu Jie soothed gently.
But Ruan Jiaojiao knew very well that the fact that the three uncles and Ruan Jianguo did not come back today meant that something was really serious.
Seeing Shu Jie and Ruan Lin who were obviously unable to do it, Ruan Jiaojiao felt very distressed and did not ask any more questions.
Because it was late today and they had to run around early tomorrow morning, Ruan Lin and Shu Jie did not plan to go back. Ruan Xu was also too lazy to run back and forth. In addition, Master Zeng and his apprentice went back first, so there were only women here. In case something happened at night and no one greeted him, he could not go back. Fortunately, it was not very cold now. He closed a few tables, took a spare quilt and slept in the lobby. Xu Xu slept with him.
Ruan Jiaojiao, Shu Jie and Ruan Lin slept in the storage room.
Ruan Jiaojiao was too sleepy. After Ruan Lin and Shu Jie came back, her tense nerves relaxed a little.
I fell asleep quickly under Ruan Lin's coaxing, but in my daze, I heard the two women talking in a low voice.
