Daily life in Zongman: After setting up the stall, return to the hometown to farm - Chapter 21
The sun was shining brightly, and the bright sunlight fell on the busy streets.
The vehicles made of steel were rampaging on the road like beasts, roaring with a strong urban atmosphere. It was completely different from the leisurely atmosphere in the countryside. The tight atmosphere was overwhelming, making people breathless.
“Finally arrived.”
A tall and handsome black-haired boy got off the bus, dragging his luggage and carrying a large backpack.
Two kitten heads were exposed in the small gap left behind by the large backpack.
One black and one white, they looked silly and cute, giving people a very lovely feeling.
This person was Xia Hua.
It was noon when he came to the city from the countryside, and he was a little hungry.
Xia Hua was familiar with the route and came to a ramen restaurant he often visited, and shouted inside:
“Manager, I want a bowl of ramen, the standard version”
“”Okay!”
The bald store manager agreed, then he reacted and laughed, saying:
“I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Xiaohua. How is life in the countryside?”
“It’s OK.”
Xia Hua smiled and didn’t say much. After all, his stomach was empty and he didn’t want to talk.
Not long after, a bowl of rich ramen was brought over by the store manager, and the aroma was overflowing.
Xia Hua was already very hungry, and now seeing the hot ramen in front of him, he immediately turned into a hungry tiger and pounced on food.
Not long after, he finished a large bowl of ramen, and finally drank a mouthful of the soup with relish.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
Xia Hua touched his full stomach, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, the bald store manager couldn’t help but smile knowingly, and then seemed to remember something and asked tentatively:
“Xiaohua, have you thought about what we discussed last time?”
“What’s the matter?”
Xia Hua was stunned when he heard this, and blinked, pretending to have forgotten it.
However, the bald store manager saw through his poor acting skills at a glance and said with a smile:
“I mean, about you coming to my ramen restaurant to be the manager, have you forgotten, Xiaohua?”
“Oh~”
Xia Hua suddenly realized and seemed to understand.
“So, what’s your answer?”
The bald store manager said with a smile on his face.
“This……”
Xia Hua turned his head, scratched his cheek, and then said apologetically:
“Sorry, I have to refuse because I have a lot of things to do.”
“”Alas~ I knew it.”
The bald store manager sighed when he heard this, even though he had expected it.
With Xia Hua’s talent for cooking, if he inherited his ramen shop, he would definitely be able to make it bigger and stronger.
But if the other party doesn’t want to do it, he can’t force it, so he has to settle for the next best thing.
“Well, then… when I’m not free, can I ask Xiaohua to help me look after the store?”
The bald store manager smiled with relief and said,”Of course, your salary will not be reduced.”
“That’s no problem.
Xia Hua nodded and agreed.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
The bald store manager raised his lips, and a cunning look flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Although the other party rejected him now, as long as they get along for a long time, maybe they will agree.
“I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Xia Hua left in front of him, waved goodbye, and left without looking back.
He left behind only a chic back, which made the bald store manager shake his head and smile bitterly:
“What a cool guy, he came and went in a hurry~”
Not long after Xia Hua left, a little head popped out from the curtain at the back of the store.
“Grandpa, who was that person just now?”
She had brownish-white hair, a ponytail on the left side, and a cat hairpin on her bangs. She had a pair of blue eyes on her delicate little face, making her look like a cat.
“He is the man that I, your grandfather, like!”
The bald store manager said seriously, and couldn’t help laughing after he finished speaking.
“Really……”
Seeing this, the cat girl immediately showed a speechless expression on her face, which she couldn’t hide at all.
If Xia Hua had not left and was still present, she would definitely be able to recognize this girl at a glance.
She was none other than the heroine in”The Cat That Doesn’t Smile” – Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko.
However. At the moment, she obviously did not lose her expression, and she looked relatively young.
Of course, Xia Hua had already left at this time, so naturally she didn’t know all this.
In the sun, in front of a big house, stood a tall and handsome black-haired boy.
He was dragging luggage and carrying a large backpack with two little cat heads on it.
The big eyes of the two little guys were looking around curiously, which was quite cute.
Obviously.
This person was Xia Hua.
His eyes fell on the wooden sign next to the entrance of the big house.
「”Chunyuanzhuang” was written on it. This was Xia Hua’s residence in the city.
In addition to him, there were other tenants living here.
However, these tenants were all women, including the manager, who was also a mature older sister.
Not only that, the rent here was very affordable, at least it was acceptable to Xia Hua.
“I’m back.”
Xia Hua smiled, opened the entrance door, and shouted subconsciously as he walked in.
