Chapter 178 Jinjiang First Launch

After packing up for a while, the three of them got on a taxi to the hotel. The two sisters were dressed very beautifully. Bai Mian put on some simple light makeup and wore her original cheongsam. Her long hair was tied behind her ears with a silver hairpin, and the tassels under the hairpin rustled softly.

The hotel that Que Ge chose was called Fuwanglou. It was a bit old and not considered luxurious locally, but it was also a time-honored brand. Considering Que Ge's financial situation, he had already spent a lot of money to treat his guests in such a hotel.

The three of them walked into the hotel. Lame Brother was already waiting happily at the door. He led the three of them into the private room. Sitting at the main seats were Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin. The old couple came directly to the hotel after buying clothes. Gao Jin was wearing a black and gold new Chinese style dress, and Weng Xuhua also obediently cooperated with her to wear a couple outfit. When they saw the three of them coming, the two old people smiled kindly.

Xu Hongdou jumped out from behind the door, giving the three of them a surprise. Although Xia Mang and Lu Xue were not familiar with Xu Hongdou, they felt an inexplicable closeness to this older sister, perhaps because of the sweet and fragrant cake smell on her body.

After everyone was seated, the waiter began to serve the dishes one after another. The dishes flowed like water and filled the entire large glass table. There was almost no room for the dishes that came later. Xia Mang said in surprise:

"Wow, so many dishes, did you order from a menu? Brother Cripple, why are you so generous all of a sudden? Did you win the lottery?"

Lame brother tilted his head and smiled shyly: "Today is a good day, I'm happy."

Weng Xuhua shook his head helplessly: "Oh, I just advised him not to order so many dishes. There aren't many of us, so we definitely can't finish them all and it would be a waste. But he wouldn't listen and ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant."

Gao Jin picked up his chopsticks and looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table. He had no idea where to start. "Oh my God, this meal is almost equivalent to three days of food in the restaurant. Even if we are big buffaloes, we can't finish it!"

Lame brother smiled: "It's okay, if we can't finish it, we can pack it up and take it back, it won't be a waste! I didn't order so many dishes today for the sake of showing off, but just to fulfill my childhood wish. This Fuwanglou has been open in our Qingshui Town for more than 20 years. It was there when I was a child. When I was in middle school, I passed by the door of Fuwanglou every day. I always saw newlyweds holding weddings inside. The scene was particularly lively. I was very envious at that time. I said to myself in my heart that when I grow up, I must marry my beloved and hold a wedding in Fuwanglou."

"Then something unexpected happened in my life. My legs became like this. My life was a mess. My wedding became out of reach. But I didn't expect that there would be a turnaround. God - God had mercy on me -"

As Lame Brother spoke, he looked at Bai Mian with gratitude, then looked at Xu Hongdou beside him with red eyes, and his voice became choked.

No one interrupted, everyone waited quietly for Lame Brother to continue.

Lame Brother tried hard to suppress his tears and continued, "God has mercy on me and sent the person I love most to me. I never thought in my life that I would have this blessing to marry the person I have always loved. I - wuwu -"

Lame brother couldn't hold back and cried. Xu Hongdou wiped his tears gently. The old couple's eyes were red. Xia Mang said after realizing it, "So, you have proposed to her? The proposal was successful? Oh my God, this is too fast. It's only been a day or two. You just met and you skipped the stage of love and got married?"

Xia Mang felt incredible. Lu Xue patted her arm gently and reminded her in a low voice: "Everyone's life has their own pace. Just respect it."

"It doesn't matter. They can fall in love after marriage." Bai Mian spoke. When she was checking Que Ge's pulse before, she had already seen Que Ge's future life. Que Ge and Xu Hongdou would have a very sweet life after marriage. She looked at the newlyweds with a sense of accomplishment in her eyes.

Xia Mang shut up out of interest, but still took out his phone to secretly take a photo of the scene and posted it to the group so that Brother Que could keep it as a souvenir in the future. Sister Yang in the group also joined in to watch the show online.

Miss Yang: [Brother, your iron tree has blossomed? What kind of rocket speed is this? ? ? ]

Although Gao Jin was touched, she still felt sorry for the table of dishes: "I know you like Fuwanglou. You can hold your wedding here in the future. Why do you want to order so many dishes? This is not a formal wedding."

"No, I can't hold my wedding here in the future." Lame Brother shook his head.

"What's wrong? Have all the good days been booked?" Gao Jin asked.

Lame Brother looked at Xu Hongdou and said solemnly: "Because, I want to follow Hongdou to the south."

"ah?"

Everyone made sounds of surprise, except Bai Mian, who looked as if he had expected it.

Lame Brother cleared his throat and formally announced, "Yes, I will follow Hongdou to live in the south in the future. After the proposal today, we discussed many practical issues. Baking is Hongdou's hobby. She has been running a bakery in the Jiangnan area for many years and has accumulated many regular customers. If she wants to maintain her career, she must return to Jiangnan."

"If we want to live together, I have to make a choice. I choose to give up my job and go to Jiangnan with her. We have both saved some money over the years, and we can open a small shop with this money. After the shop is opened, she will be the boss and I will be the boss's assistant. I can do odd jobs, checkout, cleaning, I can do anything. In short, I believe that if we work hard, our lives will get better and better!"

Thinking of the future scene, a smile appeared on Lame Brother's face.

"Since we've gone to Jiangnan, our formal wedding will definitely be held in a Jiangnan restaurant instead of Fuwanglou. So we agreed in advance that he would set up a table in Fuwanglou today and order whatever he wants, to fulfill his childhood wish." Hongdou helped him add.

The news was a bit sudden, and the old couple were shocked. Weng Xuhua put down his chopsticks and asked, "Xiao Cao, you...you want to resign?"

Lame nodded with certainty: "Yes, I want to resign. I can't just send a WeChat message about such a big thing. I want to tell you in person, boss. I know that my ability has never been excellent. I am just a slacker who does odd jobs. You hired me not because of my ability, but because I am a disabled person and you want to give me a meal."

"I have been able to survive these years thanks to you. If you hadn't provided me with this job and allowed me to integrate into social life, I don't know what I would be like now. Boss, boss lady, you are my great benefactors. Please accept my greetings--"

As he said this, Lame Brother stood up from his chair and bowed respectfully to Gao Jin and Weng Xuhua.

Gao Jin couldn't help but shed tears. After all, they had been together for so many years, and now the man just left without saying goodbye. She really couldn't bear it. She turned her face away, took out a small handkerchief and secretly wiped away her tears.

Seeing this, Lame Brother hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, boss lady, don't be sad. I know this is a bit sudden, and I can't bear to leave you. For so many years, I almost treated you as my parents. Xiao Yang passed away two days ago, and now I am gone too. You must feel bad, but after all, you still have these young people to accompany you. I originally wanted to work in Ci Xin Tang until I am old, but I have no choice. If I can only choose one, I will definitely choose Hong Dou. Ci Xin Tang doesn't need an employee like me who is slacking off, but Hong Dou can't do without me."

Weng Xuhua waved his hands to show his understanding: "Hey, why are you talking so sadly? It's just a job, it's definitely not as important as your life event. Besides, you're not going to come back. Transportation is so developed now, you can go anywhere with a plane ticket. When you come back to Qingshui Town in the future, don't forget to come and see us!"

Seeing how generous Weng Xuhua was, Lame couldn't help but shed tears. He had a thousand words in his heart, but in the end, they all turned into one sentence: "Boss, Boss Lady, you must take care of yourselves. I will come back to see you."

Several people were crying. Seeing that the food on the table was getting cold, Xia Mang hurriedly made a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Soon everyone came out of their sadness. Lame Brother talked freely about the future store decoration and wedding style, and everyone listened with great interest.

The meal took several hours. It was already late at night when they walked out of Fuwang Building. It seemed that Que Ge suddenly remembered something. He borrowed the phone that Bai Mian used for live broadcast and edited a long dynamic message by himself to say goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room. He had been active in Bai Mian's live broadcast room in recent days and had seen many comments complaining about him and some praising him. No matter what, he and these netizens who had never met before had gone through a journey together and it was time to say goodbye to them.

After the dynamic was released, Lame Brother heaved a long sigh. Bai Mian had only been here for a dozen days, but these ten days had been a huge change for him. Only he knew the feeling. When returning the phone to Bai Mian, he sincerely said to Bai Mian: "Thank you."

Bai Mian didn't say anything and silently took the phone. It was time for them to say goodbye. They looked at each other deeply, and no one said anything sentimental. Those words had already been said at the dinner table, and if they said them again, they would shed tears.

Everyone said goodbye tacitly and split into three groups. Lame Brother and Xu Hongdou went home, Xia Mang and Lu Xue prepared to return to their rented house, and Bai Mian accompanied the old couple and walked slowly towards Ci Xin Hall.

"These young people come and go, only you and I stay here forever." Gao Jin seemed very sad and sighed.

"Yeah." Weng Xuhua replied indifferently.

Under the moonlight, the two old figures snuggled together, supporting each other, like two trees growing intertwined.

After walking for a while, Bai Mian checked the time and called the fire department: "Hello, there's a fire at Cixin Hall in Qingshui Town."
