Huixiang Restaurant.
Shen Chaomu was dressed as a waiter, holding dishes in her hands. Even though she was limping, her thin figure shuttled between the tables. Occasionally, when a customer came in, she would call out and ask Chengzi, Lizi and others to entertain them.
There were the most people at noon, and Chen Chaomu was busy all the time. It was not until an hour after noon that the number of people gradually decreased.
Chen Chaomu finally had some free time, so he could eat now.
She held a tray with three bowls of rice, and next to it was a plate filled with a generous portion of meat and vegetables. This was specially prepared by the restaurant's chef for them. There was also an apple on the tray.
The food was delicious and the portions were generous. During the time they worked at Huixiang Restaurant, they all gained some weight.
Shen Chaomu walked to a secluded little room on the first floor of the restaurant. There were three bowls of rice, two for her and one for Xiao Pu Tao.
Due to intellectual and age issues, Xiao Pu Tao was unable to work, and Chen Chaomu was reluctant to let his only sister work, so he let her stay at home with others.
Fruits are very precious. Huixiang Restaurant will give them one every half a month. Today, she brought the little grapes, just to give her the apple.
Little Grape is very well behaved. As long as she is given a branch to draw, she can stay in the same place for a long time and keep drawing.
Huixiang Restaurant is very safe, and Shen Chaomu is not worried that someone will kidnap her.
Sure enough, when I pushed open the half-open door, I saw Little Grape writing and drawing with a charcoal pencil.
"Little Grape, it's time to eat."
Perhaps hearing a familiar voice, the little girl looked up, revealing eyes that were clear, dark, and as transparent as glass.
Shen Chaomu put the tray down, took a wet towel and wiped the little girl's hands, then stuffed the apple into her arms, his eyes full of smiles: "Here, this is our little Grape's favorite apple."
Shen Chaomu picked up one of the bowls of rice, picked up a lot of meat and vegetables with chopsticks, and poured some delicious soup on the rice.
The two of them sat on the steps, with Little Grape sitting with her legs together and a well-behaved posture, just like a student listening to the teacher's lecture in a private school.
The red apple was placed on her knees.
"Come on, continue."
Grape obediently took the rice with both hands, picked up the spoon, and began to eat spoonful after spoonful. She didn't eat fast, and the warrior had to chew and swallow all the food in her mouth before taking the second bite.
