In early June, the temperature in Central China is very high, especially at noon when the sun is extremely scorching.
Lin Yougen grabbed Lin Yifeng's arm, determined not to let Lin Yifeng enter Wallace.
A white air conditioner unit stood outside Wallace's door, its buzzing sound piercing Lin Yougen's heart and instilling a sense of fear in him.
This is a fear of unfamiliar cities, a fear stemming from one's own inadequacy, and even more so from the fear of being penniless.
Lin Yougen didn't know what Wallace's shop sold, but he knew that it had air conditioners and televisions.
He couldn't afford to go to such a "high-end" restaurant, nor could he afford to eat there.
"It's okay, this shop is owned by my classmate!"
Lin Yifeng said with a smile, "Just follow me inside and eat!"
Lin Yifeng understood why Lin Yougen was holding him back from going in, but once they were in his own restaurant, there was no reason not to go in.
Besides.
It's already past 1 a.m., and the street food stalls have all closed up shop. Lin Yifeng can't very well take Lin Yougen to eat braised chicken rice, can he?
The cost of eating braised chicken rice is much higher than the cost of ingredients at Wallace's.
Hearing Lin Yifeng say this, Lin Yougen slowly released Lin Yifeng's arm. He looked at the luxuriously decorated Wallace restaurant with suspicion, unsure: "Feng Daiwang, is this really your classmate's place?"
"This...this shop is just too beautiful."
"There's a TV inside, a color TV."
"They also installed this on the outside. Uncle Stone said this thing is more expensive than a big color TV!"
Air conditioners are indeed more expensive than televisions, and Lin Yougen wouldn't dare enter a restaurant that has both a color TV and air conditioning.
"It's owned by my classmate. I often come here to eat, and I never have to pay."
"I have a pretty good relationship with him. If he dares to ask me for money, I'd beat him up!"
Lin Yifeng chuckled. Upon hearing this, Lin Yougen sighed, praising the benefits of studying, and then squatted down to instruct his son, "Wow, you're awesome! See? You must study hard, like your Uncle Feng, and get into a good vocational school!"
How to get into a good vocational high school?
You can't say that!
Lin Yifeng suppressed a laugh.
Niu Wa was born in 1989. By the time he grew up, vocational schools had long since fallen into decline and were only attended by underachieving students.
I should say, "Wow, study hard and get into a good university when you grow up."
Wallace, which is open 24 hours a day, is busiest around 1 p.m. Lin Yifeng brought Lin Yougen, his wife and son into Wallace, and Lin Yougen was once again shocked.
The huge color TV was playing "Journey to the West." Lin Yifeng glanced at it and saw that the scene was the battle of magic in Chechi Kingdom.
Niu Wa, held by his mother, was instantly captivated by the plot of Journey to the West. Lin Yougen and his wife were no different; after entering Wallace's, they stared intently at the television, watching the Journey to the West story.
The air conditioner was blowing cold air, so even though the store was packed, Wallace didn't feel stuffy. Guo Fengsheng, who was busy in the store, habitually looked up at the customers who came in. When he saw Lin Yifeng, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Lin Yifeng actually came at this time?
Guo Fengsheng greeted Lin Yifeng with a smile, and Lin Yifeng quickly winked at him and said, "Old Guo, Old Guo, I've come to freeload a meal!"
Guo Fengsheng glanced at the Lin Yougen couple behind Lin Yifeng, who were dressed simply with patches on their clothes, and instantly understood.
"Old Lin, whatever you want to eat, just order, it's on me!"
"Okay, I'll have a Set Meal A, Set Meal B, and some individual items, plus three Cokes."
Lin Yifeng wasn't very hungry, so he casually ordered some set meals and then gave a brief introduction: "Old Guo, this is my brother from my hometown, Lin Yougen, and this is his wife and child."
"This Lao Guo, Guo Fengsheng, is my roommate."
Lin Yougen was very reserved. He was intimidated by Wallace's decor. After Lin Yifeng finished his introduction, he could only keep nodding and bowing, saying "Hello, Boss Guo."
Guo Fengsheng is also from the countryside. This guy, who raised pigs and harvested wheat when he was a child, is quite kind to rural people.
With a smile, Guo Fengsheng reached out to shake hands with Lin Yougen. Lin Yougen nervously wiped his hands on his clothes a couple of times before carefully shaking hands with Guo Fengsheng.
“...”
Seeing this, Guo Fengsheng suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
Unbeknownst to him, he had developed a deep disconnect with the rural people.
"You guys watch TV here for a while, I'll bring the meal to you when it's ready."
Lin Yifeng arranged for the three of them to watch TV for a while. He gave Guo Fengsheng a wink, and Guo Fengsheng immediately understood and followed Lin Yifeng toward the kitchen.
The Wallace store at the train station is larger than the other stores.
However, in terms of interior space planning, the Wallace train station store is not much different from other stores.
The kitchen, the bar, and the dining area where tables and chairs have been removed.
"Brother Feng."
Guo Fengsheng, who came to the kitchen with Lin Yifeng, actually joked with Lin Yifeng: "Welcome, President Lin, to inspect Wallace."
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Lin Yifeng laughed and scolded, "Guo Fengsheng actually used the word 'present'!"
"I came to the old town to take care of other things at noon. When I finished, I ran into someone from my hometown, so I brought him here for a meal."
"I'll be graduating in a few days. After graduation, I plan to go back to my hometown for a while. I just happened to be here today, so I thought I'd like to run into you and talk to you about something."
Lin Yifeng glanced at the Wallace employees busy in the kitchen, thought for a moment, and beckoned to Guo Fengsheng:
"You have someone watch the shop while we go find a quieter place."
