Zhou Cheng was immediately full of confidence and was encouraged: "That's good. Master Xi has eaten so many delicious foods. The delicious ones you say will definitely sell well."
He happily packed a bowl of noodles and asked his wife to take it downstairs to the Xi family's driver.
After eating and drinking, Xi Shaoyuan thanked Zhou Xiu and left his house.
Hospital.
As soon as Tan Minggang was rushed to the hospital, he was intubated and sent to the ICU for hypothermia treatment. Tan Ming's mother's face suddenly turned as pale as paper with fright. Forgetting even the thought of being grateful, she stayed with her son in the hospital for the entire day.
The final examination results showed that Tan Ming's overwork caused electrolyte imbalance, resulting in cardiac arrest, chest pain and shortness of breath. Tan Ming came out of the emergency room and gradually recovered after taking a few bottles of medicine.
Tan Ming's mother didn't even have the temperament of a noble lady anymore, and she wanted to slap Tan Ming off the hospital bed. There's no such thing as excessive fatigue. It's obvious that I just indulged myself during the holiday.
"You played games all night again last night, didn't you? You didn't even have lunch and you were in a hurry to play basketball. Do you want to make the Tan family extinct?"
At this time, Tan Ming's mother had already obtained the school's surveillance video, and she was terrified when she watched it.
The son in the surveillance video was lying alone on the basketball court. The school was on holiday and it was lunchtime. It was quiet and there were very few people around. If the girl who suddenly rushed out from the surveillance camera hadn't discovered him——
Tan Ming's mother didn't dare to think further.
The girl threw away the book and ran to see Tan Ming. She decisively took out her cell phone to make a call. She performed CPR for several minutes. It was a long time before Xi Shaoyuan and Xu Qing arrived.
She slapped her son on the thigh and said, "If it weren't for your classmate, you would be dead today, don't you know that?"
Tan Ming said "hmm" in a trance.
A week later, Tan Ming had completely recovered and was forced to correct his irregular schedule. Only then did Tan Ming's parents personally bring their son to thank their benefactor. The Tan family's driver drove the car with difficulty on the narrow road, moving forward at a snail's pace.
Tan Ming frowned, shocked.
Zhou Xiujia...lives here?
"Are we on the right road?"
Tan Ming's mother said, "No, you have to be polite when you meet someone later. Got it?"
The car stopped downstairs of Zhou Xiu's house, and Tan Ming walked up the dim and old stairs carrying a basket of fruit. Tan Ming's mother knocked on the door and a girl opened it.
Tan Ming walked into Zhou Xiu's house. The house was so narrow that he felt like he had nowhere to stay.
Zhou Xiu has already dressed and washed up, and is preparing to go out with her parents to set up a noodle stall. Today is the weekend and there is no biology class at school. The procedures and documents required for setting up a stall have also been obtained, and Zhou Xiu took advantage of her free time to help her parents.
Zhou Cheng stared with confusion at the sudden visitor to his home.
"Sorry to bother you. I didn't tell you before I came." said Tan Ming's father.
Tan Ming's mother stepped forward and said to Zhou Xiu: "Zhou Xiu, Auntie didn't have time to explain to you clearly in the hospital. Mingming is well now, I brought him here to thank you. Mingming said-"
Tan Ming put the fruit basket on the table and said with embarrassment: "Thank you."
Zhou Xiu was shocked. She didn't expect that Tan Ming's family would find her house.
Tan Ming's father handed Zhou Xiu's father a bank card and said, "I don't know how to thank your Zhou Xiu. This is a small gift from us. Please accept it."
Zhou Cheng was totally confused after hearing this.
Zhou Xiu then briefly told his father what had happened in the previous few days.
Zhou Cheng smiled innocently and waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. You don't need to be like this when you just help out."
Tan Ming's mother & Tan Ming's father: "..."
He probably had no idea how much money was in it.
Tan Ming's father said: "There are 300,000 yuan in here. Although it's not much, it can help you."
Three hundred thousand... Liu Mei even slowed down her movements in picking up things after hearing this. If she hadn't remembered that the bowl in her hand cost only two yuan, she would probably have lost her grip on the bowl and was about to drop it.
After hearing this, Zhou Cheng's eyes widened and he became even more confused. What, three hundred thousand?
so much? Even if Zhou Cheng worked hard all his life, he probably wouldn't be able to save enough money.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked around at the three people. They were all dressed neatly and brightly, just like the big bosses who usually came to inspect the construction site.
Zhou Cheng rejected the bank card that was handed to him: "It's okay, no need to be so polite."
"We are all classmates, so it is only natural for Xiu'er to save him. Xiu'er, let's go out and set up the stall."
Tan Ming's mother looked at the family and took the card back. She shouldn't use money to insult people.
Before coming, Tan Ming's mother had already inquired about Zhou Xiu's situation. She even asked Du Feiyang what kind of classmate Zhou Xiu was.
Du Feiyang replied: "Xiuxiu's grades are very good and she is a nice person. The reason why our class's scores were improved this time was because we used her review materials. But Mingming didn't seem to like Xiuxiu very much and didn't use her review materials for the final exam."
Judging from the surveillance video, the girl was very calm and did not panic when saving people. If it were someone else, Tan Ming might not be so lucky.
Tan Ming's mother patted her son's shoulder and had an idea: "You want to set up a stall? Then let Ming Ming go and help you."
Tan Ming, who was standing aside as a background, had a series of question marks slowly appearing on his face: "???"
After hearing this, Zhou Xiu shook his head and wanted to refuse.
Zhou Cheng also shook his head repeatedly: "How can this be possible? No, no, how can we let him do the work?"
Tan Ming's father spoke at the right time: "It doesn't matter, Ming Ming is taller than me. Let him do some manual labor for you, he can do it."
Tan Ming: “…”
Tan Ming no longer wanted to talk.
Tan Ming's parents patted him on the shoulders and left. The sound of a car engine starting could be heard faintly downstairs, and the couple soon disappeared.
The three members of the Zhou family carried downstairs all kinds of ingredients, snacks, bowls and chopsticks, and folding tables and chairs.
There were four tables and several chairs, which were quite heavy. Zhou Cheng had difficulty walking and could only walk down the stairs slowly holding the bowl. Zhou Xiu and Liu Mei are preparing to move the table.
Tan Ming took a look and silently moved two tables downstairs.
Zhou Cheng used a tricycle to pull his things and wanted to set up a noodle stall at the entrance of the village in the city.
Zhou Cheng couldn't pedal the bike, so Liu Mei tried. However, it was still a bit difficult for a woman to push a bike full of things. Zhou Cheng and Zhou Xiu were pushing from behind. Tan Ming walked all the way and couldn't stand it anymore, so he volunteered.
Tan Ming drove the tricycle to an open space at the entrance of the village, his forehead covered with sweat in the middle of winter.
Zhou Cheng praised him: "You have great stamina and strong legs. You are much stronger than me."
I thought he was a delicate and precious young master, but I didn't expect him to be so capable.
Tan Ming never thought that one day he would do this kind of work. Fortunately, there were no acquaintances around, otherwise if they were seen, he would probably be remembered for the rest of his life.
Zhou Cheng and Liu Mei boiled the chicken soup and set up the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks.
Zhou Cheng cut the paper-thin noodles he had rolled out at home into thin strips and slowly served bowls of noodles to Tan Ming and Zhou Xiu.
"Xiu'er, come and have a bowl of noodles. Mingming, do you want to eat?"
Tan Ming had already had breakfast at home, but teenage boys are at the stage of growing up and can eat a lot, so when he smelled the rich aroma of noodles, he hummed.
Zhou Xiu quickly finished his noodles and started working with his father.
Citizens passing by on their way to work in the morning could smell the aroma of noodles from the noodle stall, which looked quite hygienic. In addition, there was a sunny and handsome young man sitting on the stall, wearing all branded clothes, looking clean and noble.
Since people like this came to eat noodles, it meant that the noodles must be delicious, so Zhou Cheng's noodle stall gradually had sporadic customers.
Zhou Cheng rubbed his hands, feeling nervous and worried that the business would fail. I prepared so many things but couldn’t sell them.
I didn’t expect that people would come to eat noodles after the stall had been set up for just a while.
The customer picked up the noodles and started to slurp them. The noodles were thin and smooth, with a delicate and refreshing texture. The soup was clear and tasted very delicious. The boss is willing to add ingredients to make the soup, which tastes like a strong chicken soup. It doesn't feel like a soup made with just water or seasonings, and it's very satisfying to eat in the middle of winter.
After drinking a bowl of soup, I felt warm all over.
Soon, the four tables were filled with people one after another.
Zhou Xiu kept serving noodles to the guests and wiping the tables. As soon as this guest left, another guest sat down on the stool before it got cold.
Tan Ming had never done such dirty and tiring work, so he stood aside like a wooden stake and silently looked away.
Zhou Xiu didn't expect a rich second-generation like Tan Ming to be willing to do this kind of waiter work. Riding the tricycle just now was probably his limit.
The noodle stall was busy until after nine o'clock when it finally became idle. Zhou Xiu took out her vocabulary book and prepared to memorize words. She glanced at Tan Ming and said:
"You can go back."
Tan Ming did not respond to her. Although his expression was calm, he felt a little complicated in his heart.
It is hard to imagine that Zhou Xiu’s family background is so difficult. If it were other students, they would probably feel so inferior that they would want to transfer schools.
But she relied on her strength to slap the faces of those who had wronged her. The confidence she usually displays at school makes it hard to associate her with her background.
Zhou Xiu took advantage of the time when there were few people around to study English. At noon, Zhou Cheng's noodle stall suddenly had many more customers.
Most of these customers are workers from nearby construction sites, vendors at the vegetable market, or white-collar workers working nearby.
It was the weekend and there were a lot of people, so Zhou Cheng's hands never stopped for a moment.
He happily handed the noodles to his wife.
Liu Mei is responsible for collecting money and making change. When there was a lot of money, the couple’s brains were no longer sufficient and they counted for a long time.
In this respect, they do not follow Zhou Xiu at all.
A white-collar worker brought lunch to his colleagues in the office and ordered eight bowls of noodles at once. One bowl had a fried egg, another had chicken feet, and some had mushroom whistles, braised eggs, shredded chicken, chicken legs, and chicken wings. He could only name all the combinations.
A serving of noodles costs eight yuan, a fried egg or boiled egg costs two yuan, fried mushrooms cost two yuan, shredded chicken costs three yuan, chicken wings cost three and a half yuan, and chicken legs cost five yuan... Zhou Cheng's head hurt from hearing this.
He was ready to take out his calculator and do the calculations one by one.
At this time, Zhou Xiugang finished listening and reported a number, "A total of eighty-nine dollars and fifty cents. Ten dollars and fifty cents is your change."
Liu Mei took the hundred yuan and quickly took out ten and a half yuan.
On the contrary, the young man who came to buy noodles looked suspicious, "Boss, you calculated correctly, didn't you?"
He can calculate it immediately after I finish speaking. What a godly speed.
Zhou Cheng grinned, waved his hand and said, "That's right, my daughter is very accurate in math. She has never made a mistake. If you don't believe me, try it yourself?"
He asked Liu Mei to give the change to the person, and he started making noodles skillfully.
The young white-collar worker didn't believe it and actually knocked it once. After counting, he shut up silently.
Oh shit, that’s awesome.
Tan Ming, who was watching silently at the side, said: "..."
At around one o'clock, all the noodles Zhou Cheng brought out had been sold out. Even he himself did not expect that business would be so good. Liu Mei was reluctant to give up such a good business, so she went home to make some noodles and brought them over. They were sold out in no time during the 5 o'clock rush hour when people were getting off work.
Zhou Cheng said to his wife and daughter, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er's mother, I'm going to close the stall and go home."
Then Zhou Cheng happily took out a hundred yuan from his purse and gave it to Tan Ming.
"Thank you so much today. I'll buy you some drinks and snacks."
Zhou Xiu turned his head away silently, unable to watch any further.
Tan Ming took the money and put it in his wallet, "Thank you, uncle. I'm going home."
However, before leaving, Tan Ming still rode the tricycle back to the downstairs of Zhou Xiu's house.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar, and Tan Ming can do it very smoothly. This time the tricycle was loaded with empty soup tubes, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. It was lighter than when he came here.
The setting sun cast a brilliant golden light, and the sunset glow was burned red by the setting sun, lingeringly dyeing the horizon.
The afterglow fell on the young man riding the tricycle, on the straight back of the young girl, and on the slightly hunched backs of the middle-aged couple, forming a lively picture. After pedaling for a long time, the tricycle stopped.
Arrived home.
