"Where's Granny Feng today?" Someone suddenly asked that.
"She's sick. I'm helping her to look after the stall." Little Jiang turned his head and answered happily.
He looked up and down and found it was the man who had just bought something.
This man was quite conspicuous. Little Jiang could recognize him at first sight as the white-collar Little Fang mentioned by Granny Feng yesterday.
He was dressed in a well-fitting suit and had oily hair. There was a mole on the left side of his face and a Jinling accent, which made him easy to be recognized.
"Is she feeling better?" The white-collar Little Fang knitted his brows and asked with concern.
"Not bad. She's seeing a doctor now." Little Jiang was quite happy when he found someone cared about Granny Feng.
"Humm. That's good." Little Fang nodded his head and then left.
"Thank you for your concern." Little Jiang nodded his head happily.
The breakfast business was good. During the business time of the Yuanzhou shop, people started to buy the breakfast one hour before it started.
Therefore, the breakfast time ended in no more than three hours.
In the morning, Little Jiang saw a girl with a ponytail who liked eating white Mantou with sugar.
He also saw an elite white-collar beauty who liked eating steamed buns with soybean dregs but didn't use plastic bags.
There was also a man who didn't like talking but murmured to a cup of soybean milk.
The last one always bought two cups of soybean milk and a Mantou with sugar.
However, everyone left after buying it. No one had any questions about Xiao Jiang's appearance.
Only a few people asked about the granny. Maybe only one or two people asked why Granny Feng didn't come.
Many people didn't even notice that.
"Gosh. Obviously, nobody asked. Why are they so anxious? It's totally unnecessary." Little Jiang muttered discontentedly.
But it didn't delay him from cleaning up the stall.
As soon as he got home and put the things away, he went to the hospital. Of course, that was also requested by Granny Feng.
"Have you cleaned the place?" Granny Feng cared about that as soon as she saw Little Jiang.
"Of course. Yes, I have." Little Jiang said affirmatively.
"How is it? Business is good, right? "Seeing Little Jiang affirm, Granny Feng asked with a smile.
"Not bad. They are all sold out. I heard that our soybean milk runs out of the sesame seed cake sold by the boss today." Seeing Granny Feng so happy, Little Jiang didn't know what to say. Therefore, he had to say that.
"That's good. That's good." Granny Feng nodded her head happily.
"Now you can recuperate at ease. I will stay here to guard you," Little Jiang sat down and said with an affirmative tone.
"That won't do. I have to go to cook Mantou in the afternoon. It's just a minor illness. Why would I need to stay in the hospital?" Granny Feng pointed at the drip that was about to finish and said earnestly.
"Why don't you take a rest for two days? There are so many people selling food over there." Little Jiang pressed down the excited Granny Feng lightly.
"You don't understand. Xiao Fang, Yuan Yuan and the others all like the soybean milk and steamed buns cooked by me." Granny Feng revealed a manner of "You don't understand anything" and said to Xiao Jiang.
"But you can't ignore your health." Xiao Jiang didn't agree.
"Let me tell you, if I don't do it, the young man won't have anything to eat. This won't do." Granny Feng was still very persistent.
"Let me tell you. Nobody asked where you went today. You indeed mentioned that there were some people, but you don't seem to be familiar with them, right?" Seeing Granny Feng didn't listen to his persuasion, Xiao Jiang could only say so.
"Yeah. Of course they don't know me, but I know others." When Granny Feng said that, she revealed a smile as if it were something remarkable.
"They don't even care about the food. You don't have to work so hard. Think about your own health." Xiao Jiang said conveniently.
"You said few people asked me today, but some still did. Besides, all your breakfast has been sold out, right?" Seeing Little Jiang didn't agree with her, Granny Feng said calmly.
"Of course. But that's because of your good craftsmanship." Little Jiang first nodded his head and then added.
"Granny, I like the way they like my craftsmanship. Moreover, I know who they are." Granny Feng nodded her head and said smilingly.
"But you can't go back to cook." Little Jiang said earnestly.
"Okay. But you have to go there tomorrow morning and also clean the place." Granny Feng looked at Little Jiang's worried expression and then agreed to his request.
"No problem. As long as you take good care of yourself, I will definitely go." Little Jiang patted his chest and guaranteed.
Granny Feng naturally nodded her head, indicating that she would take good care of herself.
Actually, Little Jiang didn't understand Granny Feng's thinking at all. Obviously, few people cared about whether she went to sell breakfast or not.
However, she wasn't sad when she heard nobody asked about her, even if she could tell them their characteristics, hobbies and working hours one by one.
She was just like the friends she knew. Actually, Little Jiang found those people weren't familiar with Granny Feng after he went there.
Little Jiang couldn't understand that. Therefore, when he went there the next morning, he paid special attention to whether those people who were mentioned by Granny Feng would mention her when they didn't even come today. "Excuse me.
"Excuse me, he's blocking my view." Little Jiang was observing intently when a thin figure suddenly blocked his view.
The person blocking Little Jiang's line of sight was a man. He wore a dark blue shirt and black casual pants. His hair was slightly long, and he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and somewhat shy.
Hearing Little Jiang's words, he immediately turned his head and started to apologize with his head lowered. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Never mind. Never mind." After he apologized like that, Little Jiang became a little embarrassed.
When the man heard Little Jiang say that he didn't mind, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief and retreated to the side carefully. However, he still stared at the door of Yuanzhou shop without blinking.
"Hey. What are you looking at?" Little Jiang went up to him curiously.
"Nothing." The cultured man seemed to be startled. Instantly, his face turned red.
"Oh." Little Jiang found the man didn't seem to like talking, so he just answered and didn't say anything more.
However, not long after, the man's eyes lit up. He walked to the queuing machine of Yuanzhou shop quickly and waited in line to take the number seriously.
"What a strange man. You didn't go there just now but now?" Little Jiang shook his head speechlessly.
"Forget it. It's up to me now." Little Jiang shook his head and got rid of those thoughts. He then looked carefully to see if anyone asked about Granny Feng.
However, Little Jiang was disappointed. There were only a few people asking about her today. Of course, there were a few more people than yesterday. However, compared with the people that Granny Feng remembered, there weren't many.
"I told you that only a hawker would remember her. But they still insisted on coming." Little Jiang murmured in a low voice while looking at the dazzling array of hawkers.
Feeling bored, Little Jiang took up his phone and called Granny Feng directly.
"Granny, what do you want to eat today?" Little Jiang asked while looking at the breakfast stalls everywhere.
"Judging from your tone, are you unhappy?" Granny Feng's aged voice revealed Little Jiang's mood.
"No. Why don't you stop working and have a good rest? I can take care of you when you are old. We don't lack money." Little Jiang brought up this topic again.
"I know. Don't you see that nobody asks about your granny? I feel wronged." Granny Feng didn't care about the topic of retirement but said that.
"Do you agree or not?" Little Jiang asked persistently.
"No. I'm doing a good job," Granny Feng said.
"At the very beginning, I didn't agree with you to go out and set up a stall. You have to get up early and do the cleaning. It's so tiring. I can take care of you when you are old."
Little Jiang said, "At the beginning, you said many people cared about you and couldn't bear to part with you. Therefore, I didn't say anything. But now, obviously, nobody cares whether you are here or not."
"You also said that there are still some people who ask about me. That means one out of 100 people asks about me. Granny, that's one point of concern. If 10,000 people ask about me, it's 100 points of concern." Granny Feng first refused the idea of retirement and then said unhurriedly.
"It's not important at all. Granny Feng, just listen to me, okay?" Obviously, Little Jiang didn't understand what Granny Feng meant, but he still persistently persuaded her.
"100 points of concern is not important at all. You are right to think that way. But I prefer my own way of thinking. If a person can get 100 points of concern, he is very happy." There was even a smile in Granny Feng's voice. She comforted Little Jiang gently.
"I can't argue with you, but you have to take care of yourself." Little Jiang sighed.
"I know, I know. I'm very happy." Granny Feng burst into laughter and said happily.
Once she hung up the phone, Little Jiang couldn't help murmuring, "Old people are getting younger and younger."
Although Little Jiang didn't understand Granny Feng's thoughts, he felt relieved as long as she was happy.
