After serving the food, Mrs. Gu saw her son holding a cell phone and hurried over to ask, "Who's calling?"
"My sister!"
"What, your sister? What did she say? How is she? Is she hurt? Is she—"
Mother Gu asked a series of questions.
Gu Sinian hurriedly said, "Mom, don't worry, my sister is fine! She will be back tomorrow!"
"That's good! That's good!"
"You kid, you received a call from your sister and didn't even bother to call me!"
Hearing that her daughter was safe, Gu's mother felt relieved, and then she began to scold her son.
Gu Sinian scratched his head. "I was so happy that I forgot! Oh, she's coming back by plane tomorrow anyway!"
"If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
Mother Gu rolled her eyes at her son: How can they be the same?!
"Boss, is my dish ready?"
Mother Gu also wanted her son to call back so that she could talk to her daughter.
The customers at a certain table started shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Alright! It'll be ready soon!"
The restaurant was too busy and Mrs. Gu didn't have much to do.
She replied subconsciously, then hurried back to the kitchen.
Business was so good that Gu's father was responsible for cooking.
Gu's mother needs to help wash vegetables, cut vegetables, serve vegetables, etc.
Forget it, I'd better take care of business first. It won't be too late to call my daughter after I'm done.
Looking at his mother's impetuous back, Gu Sinian stuck out his tongue.
He put the phone back on the counter and started helping.
Collect bills, serve drinks, and clear the table.
There are seven or eight tables in the small restaurant, and the turnover rate is quite high.
After sweeping the garbage and taking orders for new customers, Gu Sinian was busy all over.
"Gu Sinian!"
Amidst the busyness, Gu Sinian heard that familiar voice.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
Gu Sinian came forward and asked, looking up at the clock on the wall: 7:40.
Evening study is over.
However, their high school has boarding classes, and the lights in the classrooms are turned off later.
Although Su Xiaoxiao is not a boarding student, she will stay in school until nine o'clock when her home is far from the school.
Firstly, she was "accompanying" Gu Sinian to do homework together.
Secondly, after the event, Gu Sinian would first send her home and then return to the dormitory.
So, as a girl, her family would feel more at ease if she stayed at school late.
"You haven't been living on campus lately?"
Su Xiaoxiao came to the counter and seemed concerned, but there was a hint of questioning in her tone.
If it were in the past, Gu Sinian would only feel sorry and would not notice anything unusual.
Because in his heart, Su Xiaoxiao is a simple and straightforward girl.
She is lively and cheerful, and she speaks her mind. She may occasionally get into trouble because of her recklessness, but she has no bad intentions.
It makes her seem more real!
However, during this period, especially when he saw his sister running to the disaster area with his own eyes, Gu Sinian's heart seemed to have been shaken.
After experiencing a true kindness that was close to great love, Gu Sinian had a strange feeling when he looked back on someone's words and deeds.
In the past week, Gu Sinian did not live in the school dormitory, but ran back home.
In addition to helping out with the family business, he also wanted to have some private space to think properly!
"Yes! As you can see, our small restaurant has been very busy lately. My grandparents are not in good health, so they have to come and work!"
Gu Sinian suppressed the anxiety in his heart and explained softly to Su Xiaoxiao, "I'm worried. I've almost finished reviewing my lessons, so I wanted to go home and help!"
"Oh, that's it!"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the bustling restaurant and nodded, "Yeah! It's really busy!"
"Oh, you didn't even tell me, I'll help you!"
Su Xiaoxiao started rolling up her sleeves as she spoke.
Then--
"Oops! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Su Xiaoxiao helped to carry the plate, but she stumbled and dropped the plate on the ground.
The leftover food and soup were splattered all over the floor.
Fortunately, the diners sitting nearby dodged in time and were not splashed on their feet.
Gu Sinian: ...
It's just serving dishes, he does it every day.
It’s my elder sister, who loves beauty so much and is so delicate, but she comes to help occasionally.
My sister is a beautiful lady with princess syndrome, but she never made such a mistake when serving dishes.
"ah!"
Gu Sinian's heart was in turmoil, and something began to change.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao, who ran to get the broom, got into trouble again.
She accidentally kicked over the trash can, and the trash inside was scattered all over the floor.
Gu Sinian: ...
Why did I think Su Xiaoxiao was so straightforward and cute in the past?
This, this is clearly stupid!
