Bamboo Horse Teases Green Plum 02 Reunion

  Reunion

  On the day he saw the news, Bae Yu was in the fast food restaurant until the last customer left and helped count the day's sales after closing the door.

  "Mom, did Uncle Xing from next street come looking for you two days ago?"

  Pei Yue arranged the money into different denominations, stacking them neatly one by one, and kept an eye on her mother's reaction.

  Her mother brought her and her brother to G city, pawning the jewelry on her hands for some money, opening a fast food restaurant. The life of three people in the family has been maintained by her hard work from dawn till dusk all along.

  "No way!"

  Hu Xinyu denied it.

  Xing Shu called Pei Yue yesterday and said he wanted to use 200,000 yuan to take over "Yue Yang". Pei Yue didn't expose her, handed the neatly stacked money to her mother, and then put his arm around her slender shoulder.

  "Mom, I think you should just close this store!"

  After the New Year, Mom will be sixty years old, she has worked hard for so many years, it's time to take a break.

  Pei Yue calculated that her current income in the law firm was stable, and adding to the money she made from stock trading a few years ago, it was enough to cover her brother's expenses for studying abroad. Her mother had been receiving pension since she turned 50, so even if they had to close down the fast food restaurant, they could still get by.

  "Xiao Yue, mom has a share in this matter."

  Hu Xin took the money, counted it carefully, bent down and put it into the safe, stood up, and gazed quietly at Pei Yue.

  "Mom..."

  Pei Yue softly coaxed Hu Xin, wanting to use gentle affection to persuade her mother.

  Hu Xin's mind was not on the store at this time, but rather thinking about another matter. After watching the noon news, her mood had been unable to calm down.

  The name Bai Ming was like a giant stone thrown into her heart lake that had just calmed down, stirring up a thousand waves.

  Compared to her, the daughter she was most worried about, except for a slight change in expression when she first heard the news, remained calm throughout the day, busily attending to guests as usual.

  "Xiao Yue, Bai Ming he..."

  "Mom, don't worry, I won't go look for him! Even if I see him, I'll take a detour! Besides, G city has nearly tens of millions of people, it's unlikely we'll run into each other."

  Pei Yue patted her chest to guarantee, when she was young, her mother took herself and her brother from L city to G city overnight, not wanting people to see her fall from the deputy mayor's wife to a abandoned woman. Now her mother's thoughts in her heart are probably the same as they were back then.

  The reason why he didn't want to see Bai Ming was naturally different from his mother's.

  But as for those messy things with Bai Ming, she was willing to bury them forever in the darkest corner of her heart and never mention them again.

  In order not to make his mother worry more, Pei Yue tried his best to pretend that nothing was wrong all day.

  "Uh-huh, I believe you."

  For this daughter, Hu Xin has always been extremely trusting. Unlike her sunny and cheerful son, when the family was in trouble, she was 16 years old, at the most sensitive age. Even if she didn't say anything about what happened at home, she more or less guessed a lot of things, but she didn't ask anything.

  For over a decade, the daughter has been doing the work of an employee in this fast food restaurant. When she was in school, as soon as class was dismissed, she would rush here with her backpack to help out. After starting work, every Saturday and Sunday, she would spend the whole day cooped up here. Even so, she always had a smile on her face and never once complained of hardship in front of her mother.

  In her daughter's heart, there must be many unhappy things, but she always faces herself with a smiling face, which makes Hu Xin, as a mother, very heartbroken.

  Hu Xin gazed at her daughter's figure bending down to lock the door, with a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes.

  "Mom, go home and sleep early, remember to soak your feet in hot water for half an hour before sleeping!"

  Pei Yue locked the door, handed the key to Hu Xin. The streetlights were very dim, and Pei Yue didn't see the pain in her mother's eyes, but kept reminding her that she was old and would get foot cramps if she stood for too long.

  "Uh-huh, you're tired too, go back and rest, there's still work tomorrow."

  Pei Yue stood at the entrance of the store, watching his mother's figure walk to a building tens of meters away from the storefront, open the door and flash in. The door closed, Pei Yue sat on his own second-hand broken car, started the car and left.

  ……

  Bai Ming has been the mayor of G city for nearly half a year, and the things Hu Xin worried about have not happened. In these six months, her life with her two children has remained as calm and happy as it was in the past.

  Time passed and Hu Xin's heart finally calmed down slowly.

  Bai Yue is still like before, working hard outside from Monday to Friday, and helping out at the fast food restaurant all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

  On Saturday afternoon, Pei Yue was still helping out at the fast food restaurant. Before finishing work, Chef Hui handed a list to Hu Xin, which listed the materials urgently needed for the evening market.

  Hu Xin saw that all the guests had left and took the list to prepare for supermarket shopping. Pei Yue's eyes were bright and her hands were quick, and she snatched the list away with one hand.

  "Mom, you go home and take a nap, I'll go buy."

  Before Hu Xin could react, the person had already run out and by the time Hu Xin chased after him, Pei Yue's car with a faint smoke coming from its rear was already driving to the middle of the road.

  Pei Yue drove the car to the supermarket that his mother frequented most often, took out the shopping list and pushed a shopping cart straight into the shopping area.

  It's not her first time coming to this supermarket to buy groceries, but today the atmosphere of this supermarket is completely different from usual!

  Pushing the shopping cart through the shelves, the eerie atmosphere grew thicker. Pei Yue's mind was filled with doubts as a salesgirl in uniform, wearing a smile on her face, approached and greeted her.

  "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

  Pei Yue waved his hand in surprise and delight.

  "Thank you, don't bother, I'll pick them out slowly myself."

  It wasn't until then that Pei Yue understood where this strange atmosphere came from.

  Normally, the sales staff in this supermarket are like door gods, standing stiffly with a cold face in the supermarket, never taking the initiative to ask customers about their needs, let alone treating them with such warm and polite smiles and language as just now.

  Is the sun rising from the west today?

  Pei Yue shook her head and didn't think deeply about it, pushing the shopping cart towards the fresh meat section.

  Looking at the quantity listed on the bill, Pei Yue furrowed her brow and pulled out her phone to make a call.

  "Hui Shu, are the quantities of those materials on your list incorrect? Why are they all double what we usually need?"

  Pei Yuxin's mind was clear and she remembered everything that happened in the fast food restaurant clearly.

  "No mistake! Little Yue, didn't you know? The street next door is said to be demolished, and that fast food restaurant has also closed down. Our store's business has been booming recently."

  No wonder a few months ago, the boss of that fast food restaurant, Uncle Xing, wanted to take over "Yueyang", it turned out to be for demolition! It's also no wonder my mother didn't want to give up the shop at that time.

  "Okay, then I'll buy them back according to the quantity on the list."

  Pei Yue checked off the list and put pork, beef, chicken, and various vegetables into the shopping cart one by one. She grabbed two bottles of soy sauce for the last item and threw them into the cart. Pei Yue turned around and walked towards the checkout counter.

  "Miss, this comes to a total of 858 yuan. I'm collecting 900 yuan from you. Here's the remaining 42 yuan in change. Would you please count it? Thank you for your patronage!"

  Pei Yue received the treatment of a god for the first time in this supermarket, happily taking the change and pushing a cart full of groceries out of the checkout channel.

  A man wearing a black casual outfit also emerged from the passageway, pushing a shopping cart. Pei Yue instinctively felt that the man was very tall, and out of curiosity, she looked up at him.

  Sparkling eyes suddenly met a pair of deep, mysterious black eyes. Just one glance made Pei Yue's face instantly lose its composure, hastily withdrawing her gaze and pushing the shopping cart towards the supermarket entrance with a swift motion!
