The weather in Chengdu in mid-August was sultry. Therefore, as soon as they got on the car, Yin Ya turned on the air conditioner, but it was still a little hot in the car.
Looking at Yuan Zhou sitting in the passenger seat obediently, Yin Ya's helplessness disappeared. She took the initiative to say, "Is it hot? There's water beside you. Drink some."
"No. Little Ya, are you hot?" Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"I'm not hot. I'm afraid that you will be hot," Yin Ya said.
"I'm used to it. I stay in the kitchen every day. It's not hot at all," Yuan Zhou said habitually.
But his habitual words made Yin Ya feel a little distressed. She immediately said, "Why don't you rest for a few days? I saw the weather forecast that there will be a high temperature warning for the next three days. It will be very hot."
"No need. There's an air conditioner in the kitchen now. The temperature has always been constant. It's not so hot." Yuan Zhou had always been very confident in the black technology of the system.
"I know there's an air conditioner now, but it's definitely not cool to stay beside the stove all the time. Don't get heatstroke." Yin Ya turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou while they were at the traffic light.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Little Ya." Yuan Zhou reached out and patted Yin Ya's hand and comforted her.
"Alright. Don't be too tired." Yin Ya nodded her head. Just as the traffic light turned green, she started to drive to Taoxi Road again.
"Sometimes I really hope you are not so compass." Yin Ya muttered softly.
With his amazing hearing, Yuan Zhou naturally heard it. He said gently, "Then I won't be your log."
Yin Ya blushed. She didn't say anything but just drove more seriously.
Yuan Zhou also turned his head and closed his eyes to rest in the direction of Yin Ya. After all, he got up too early today and was a little tired.
Because this wedding banquet was not that simple. It could be said that Yuan Zhou had prepared all the dishes that were good for Ruan Xiaoqing.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou had closed his eyes, Yin Ya slowed down the car and turned the air conditioner away so that it wouldn't blow directly on Yuan Zhou. Then, she drove away smoothly.
Because Yuan Zhou was resting with his eyes closed, it took Yin Ya 20 minutes more than in the morning to drive to the underground parking lot of Taoxi Road.
By the way, in order to let Yin Ya have a place to park her car every time, Yuan Zhou had already bought a parking space in the garage.
And now, Yin Ya was parked in her exclusive parking space. The happiness of being rich was so simple and unpretentious.
"We're here." Yin Ya turned off the engine and said softly.
"Um. Thank you for your hard work, Little Ya." Yuan Zhou immediately opened his eyes and said very soberly.
"Sometimes I wonder if you've fallen asleep or not. How can you be so sober when you open your eyes?" Yin Ya asked curiously.
"I just took a nap for a while. It can't be considered as falling asleep." Yuan Zhou answered honestly.
"Alright. Let's go to the restaurant," Yin Ya said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then unfastened the safety belt and got off the car. He waited for Yin Ya to lock the car before they left together.
Naturally, the people they met along the way would greet Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya warmly.
Although it was the hottest afternoon in Chengdu, there were still many people. Therefore, Yuan Zhou took Yin Ya back to the back alley decisively.
Naturally, they had to pass the garbage disposal station by the back alley. Yin Ya looked there carefully and didn't find anyone there. But after she passed by, she couldn't help looking back again and still didn't see anyone.
Only then did she follow Yuan Zhou to the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou took Yin Ya into the pub from the back door. As soon as they entered the pub, the roses planted on the day of the confession were blooming against the sun, looking very magnificent.
"The flowers grow so well." Yin Ya said smilingly.
"If you like them, I can give you some flower scissors. You can cut some flowers and put them in your room," Yuan Zhou said immediately.
"No need. I can come here every day." Yin Ya said.
"Um. You can come every day." Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.
"Alright. Don't be naughty. Didn't you say you wanted me to translate some medical reports from the US?" Yin Ya said.
"Um. It's a report about my dishes. So I want to read it." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said earnestly.
"Okay. Although I seldom translate medical reports, I have no problem translating those related to dishes." Yin Ya said confidently.
"I believe you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then led Yin Ya to the small table where they usually drank wine.
"You rest for a while. I'm going to get the things." Yuan Zhou pressed Yin Ya down on the seat and then stood up to prepare.
First, he carried the pastries and cold white wine prepared in the morning to the table and let Yin Ya eat the pastries first. Then, he went to sober up and prepared the red wine to drink later. Only then did he bring the complete set of translation tools that Yin Ya usually left here.
That's right. Since they got up so early in the morning, Yuan Zhou prepared some pastries in advance for Yin Ya to eat in the afternoon.
"Then I'm going to start. After I finish translating, I'll directly send it to the printer. That way, you can read the text version and don't have to waste your eyes," Yin Ya said.
"Thank you, Yin Ya. Have a bite of the pastries." While speaking, Yuan Zhou fed Yin Ya a mouthful of the pastries.
"Not at all. Go ahead and study the ancient books. I'll be back soon," Yin Ya swallowed the pastries and then said.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"I just browsed through it. Many reports have Chinese versions but no comments. I won't translate those that have Chinese versions. I'll directly translate the comments and send them to you. As for those that don't have Chinese versions, I'll send them to you along with the comments," Yin Ya said.
"That's enough. Don't work too hard." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Don't worry. I won't." Yin Ya nodded her head and then lowered her head to translate.
Yin Ya got into the zone very quickly. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou couldn't help but stare at Yin Ya for quite a while. Only then did he stand up quietly and prepare to take the ancient books to study the dishes.
Just after Yuan Zhou stood up and left, Yin Ya raised her head and took a glance at him before lowering her head again to translate the documents.
The atmosphere in Yuan Zhou's restaurant was as harmonious as ever. Even if there were only two people there, it gave people a feeling of peacefulness.
As soon as Yuan Zhou walked past the begonia tree and the sergestes wall view door, he opened the door as soon as he entered the restaurant.
The current Yuan Zhou didn't have the system to control the temperature only during the stipulated business hours like before. Now, it was available at all times.
Therefore, as soon as the door was opened, the surroundings at the door instantly cooled down.
After the door was opened, as it wasn't the business hours, no one came into the restaurant. It was also a tacit agreement that they wouldn't disturb Yuan Zhou when it wasn't the business hours. Soon, however, more and more people sat on the chairs provided by the queuing committee at the side to enjoy the cool air.
It was Yuan Zhou's original purpose. Therefore, he directly went upstairs to take the ancient books after he opened the door.
Even if he brought them to the courtyard to read, Yuan Zhou carefully packed them in a wooden box and brought them downstairs instead of taking them downstairs directly.
"Dadada Ta". As Yuan Zhou went downstairs, a series of questioning voices came from downstairs.
"Hello, is Boss Yuan here?" An aged voice rang out at the door.
Yuan Zhou quickened his pace. When he came to the kitchen partition, he saw an aged man in ordinary clothes standing at the door.
The man was dressed in a greyish-blue shirt, a pair of short suit pants and a pair of black leather sandals. His hair was all white and he was looking into the restaurant cautiously.
After he saw Yuan Zhou, his eyes lit up. He asked smilingly, "Little brother, is your boss, Boss Yuan, here?"
That's right. The aged man didn't know Yuan Zhou yet, so he asked Yuan Zhou if Boss Yuan was here.
"I'm the boss you mentioned. You can come in if you want to talk to me." Yuan Zhou said mildly.
"So you are Boss Yuan. You are so young and promising." The aged man immediately said smilingly.
Meanwhile, he followed Yuan Zhou's words and walked into Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
"Boss Yuan, did I disturb you by coming here rashly?" the old man asked nervously after he entered the restaurant.
"No, I didn't. I don't know why you are looking for me." Looking at the hunched back of the aged man, the sweat beads on his forehead and the dry lips, Yuan Zhou poured a cup of water and handed it to the aged man without batting an eyelid.
"Thank you. Thank you, Boss Yuan. How much is the water? I can pay you if I have the money." The aged man didn't stand on ceremony. However, he started to take out money from a small bag with his other hand.
"No need. It's just plain water." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"That's so embarrassing. You are running a business. How can you not pay?" The aged man shook his head and insisted on paying.
"It's just a cup of plain water. No need to pay." Yuan Zhou refused again. Before the old man said anything, he continued asking, "What's the matter for you to come to me? You haven't told me yet. "
"Oh, right. It's a serious matter." Only then did the aged man stop taking out money and say with a nod.
"Don't worry. Drink some water." Yuan Zhou said.
Obviously, the aged man in front of him was quite old. He was a little forgetful while speaking. He even forgot to drink the water while holding the cup. That was why Yuan Zhou reminded him.
After the aged man drank the water, he didn't wait for Yuan Zhou to ask and said with a smile, "Boss Yuan, your place is just like what Little Shitou said. Even the water is delicious."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhou didn't talk about the water again. Instead, he asked again.
"Yes. I haven't introduced myself yet. Actually, I came to the big bank in the city to do something. But I thought I would come to your place first, Boss Yuan, and then go to the bank." The aged man said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.
"By the way, Little Shitou is the little fatty who used to come here for meals. I am his father." Only then did the aged man remember that he didn't say who he was.
"Are you talking about Boss Shi, Boss Shi?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the big boss who used to come here often and the person who came to say goodbye to him after he went bankrupt.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's the boy." Old Man Shi nodded.
"That brat has made a fortune again. It's a good thing that he is willing to give me money to send to him. So I have to come here to thank you, Boss Yuan. That brat said it was all thanks to you, Boss Yuan, for educating him." Old Man Shi spoke incoherently, but Yuan Zhou still caught the main point.
"May I ask who are you going to send the money to? Is it a lot? "Yuan Zhou looked serious. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Not a lot. Just one million." Old Man Shi waved his hand.
"That's a lot. Who are you going to send it to? Does Boss Shi know? "Yuan Zhou asked while thinking about whether he had Boss Shi's phone number.
Because it seemed that the person in front of him had been cheated.
"Yes. That boy just became enlightened this year. That's why he asked me to send the money. I like to do this kind of thing. Besides, it's a good thing. It's a good deed to accumulate merit." Old Man Shi chattered.
"Boss Shi knows that you are going to send money, and it's one million?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yes, that boy knows. This is just the first sum. There will be more later." Old Man Shi nodded.
Could it be that both father and son were cheated? Yuan Zhou was considering the possibility of calling the police.
But what Old Man Shi said next dispelled Yuan Zhou's idea.
"We are doing this to repair the road. In the early years, the leader said that if you want to be rich, you have to repair the road first. Our family is rich, but the village is too poor. We can't sell the good things. Luckily, Little Shitou agrees with me. It's all thanks to you, Boss Yuan." Old Man Shi continued.
"Repair the road?" Yuan Zhou put down his hand that was about to take the phone and asked.
"Yes. Repair the road just to sell these peaches. Look at the big peaches in my hometown. They are sweet and delicious." Old Man Shi picked up a plastic bag from the ground and showed it to Yuan Zhou.
The red plastic bag was half filled with peaches. All of them were red and cute. Besides, they were all bigger than an adult man's fist. They looked really good.
"I brought these peaches for you, Boss Yuan. Have a taste. They're really sweet." Only then did Geezer Shi recall this matter. He hurriedly lifted the peaches high up and wanted to give them to Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou immediately opened the partition and walked out. He took the peaches with both hands and said, "You are welcome. Actually, I didn't do anything."
What Yuan Zhou said was the truth. After digesting the whole thing, he didn't understand why Boss Shi's father would especially thank him. It seemed that the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
He took the peaches because he didn't want the old man to make it too heavy.
"Of course. Thanks to you, Boss Yuan, Little Shitou understands that he can't be rich alone." Old Man Shi continued, "Before coming here, Little Shitou said that it was you, Boss Yuan, that made this place develop. The whole Taoxi Road is counting on you. And he also understands that he has to influence others when he is rich."
"Since the beginning of the year, Little Shitou has taken money to repair the road and land for his family. That's why the peaches are growing better and better. There are also sales." Old Man Shi smiled and said.
"Do you mean that you and Boss Shi have been supporting the construction of your hometown?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yes. Our hometown is poor, but it's much better now. Little Shitou said that he wants to build a second place like Taoxi Road to promote the development of our hometown." Old Man Shi said.
"You and your father are really awesome." Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"No, we are not awesome at all. It's you, Boss Yuan. I know this place wasn't so good before. I know it's all because of you, Boss Yuan, that this place is so magnificent and beautiful now. I heard many people praise you, Boss Yuan." Old Man Shi gave Yuan Zhou a thumbs-up gesture.
"Thank you for the peaches." Yuan Zhou was a little perturbed in his heart, but it soon turned into motivation. He thanked him earnestly.
"You are welcome. The peaches are really sweet. Boss Yuan, please have a taste." Old Man Shi said again.
"I will. It looks delicious." Yuan Zhou nodded his head affirmatively.
"Okay, okay. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now." Old Man Shi waved his hand and turned around, preparing to leave.
Before Yuan Zhou asked if he wanted to see him off, Old Man Shi turned around again and said, "I'm going to drink the water first. Otherwise, it will be wasted. Boss Yuan, you don't mind, do you?"
Old Man Shi pointed at the remaining half cup of water on the curved long table.
"Of course not. Do you need me to add more points for you?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"No, no, it's enough." While saying that, Old Man Shi drank up the water in the cup in one gulp. Only then did he turn around and leave quickly.
When he entered the door, Old Man Shi was very careful and slow. But when he left, he was extraordinarily fast. Maybe it was because he didn't have the heavy bag of peaches.
Yuan Zhou didn't even have the time to ask if he wanted him to leave. He just walked away quickly.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou walked to the door and thanked Old Man Shi in a low voice while looking at him under the sunlight.
