Food saved the world.
[Oh.] Her mother said firmly, [Then you must have seen it in the past.]
Issou: "..."
[Don't change the topic.] Issou cleared her throat,
[Just tell me if you despise me for being a burden.]
[Stop fooling around.] Her mother chuckled,
[Can you find a second burden who is cuter than my good girl in the world?]
Hearing this,
Issou replied happily, [That's true.]
Hearing Issou's reply, her mother, who knew that she only listened to "cute" and ignored the "burden": "..."
My big baby might be a fool, right?
For a moment,
Her mother didn't know if it was a good thing for her to let Issou go to New York alone, because her silly look really made her feel uneasy.
Issou, who didn't know that in her mother's heart, she had already equated herself with a fool. When she found out that she didn't ask her to come to New York to kick her out of the house,
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Her mother, who noticed this, teased her with a smile: [Good girl,
Are you afraid that I'll leave you behind?]
[What a joke.] Issou blinked. [I just don't want to take advantage of you.
You raised me for a few years. When you reach the legal retirement age, I'll pay you back double.]
[Then I might not live that long.]
[I don't care.] Issou said,
[You raised me for 21 years,
After you retire, I'll pay you back for 42 years,
Before I pay you back, don't think about going back on your word.]
Hearing Issou's words, a trace of gentleness flashed in her mother's eyes,
However, Issou, who was on the other end of the phone, did not see it. She only heard her say, [It's not cheap to raise me,
During the 42 years that you're sure you'll give me a pension,
Will there be 41 years where I have nothing to eat?]
Issou: "..."
This was really her mother!
After ending the phone call,
Issou was a little mentally and physically exhausted,
But when he saw the various licenses that had been prepared,
He couldn't help but smile.
After she put everything away, she planned to go to the nearby Walmart before taking a taxi home.
But to Issou's surprise, when he was paying the bill, he ran into her landlord. "Old Stan?"
Old Stan was equally surprised. "Issou? Why are you here? "
"I wanted to ask you the same thing." Issou pushed the trolley and lined up behind him. "I'm here on business. The fridge at home is empty, so I thought I'd buy something before heading back."
"Oh." Old Stan knew that Issou was going to open a Chinese restaurant, so without asking, he knew what she was here for. "How is it? Did it go well? "
"Yes, it went very smoothly." Issou could not help but smirk. "Now we're just waiting for the opening."
When Old Stan heard that, he first congratulated him and then said, "I will definitely visit often."
"Thank you." Issou said, "But I still have to say, if you come, I won't let you order as you please."
The old man's height was the same as his age, so Issou did not dare to let him do as he pleased.
"What happened to the saying that the customer is God?"
"But my restaurant is called 'My Chinese Restaurant'." Issou emphasized the word 'my'. In fact, she originally wanted to call it 'Chinese Restaurant', but unfortunately, it was registered, so she just called it 'My Chinese Restaurant'.
Issou continued, "Yes, the customer is God, but this is my territory, so I call the shots."
Old Stan: "..."
She made so much sense that he was speechless.
"By the way, you still haven't told me why you're here." Issou did not dwell on this topic and changed the topic. "Is the Walmart in our area not open today?"
"Nope." Old Stan did not expect Issou to come back to this topic. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to meet an online friend."
"Online friend!!?" Issou, who did not expect this answer, widened her eyes. She knew that her landlord was a very cute and fashionable old man, but she did not expect him to be this fashionable.
"Old man, you're so fashionable. I haven't even met an online friend before."
Hearing that, Old Stan glanced at Issou. At his age, he always treated young and cute children like her with the kindness and kindness of a grandchild, so when he heard her say that, he could not help but remind her, "You're still young, don't meet online friends, it's dangerous."
"Plus, our situation is different."
As soon as he said that, he saw Issou's grape-like eyes sparkling with curiosity.
So Old Stan couldn't help but share his joy with Yi Su. He said, "At first, I thought I just got to know a like-minded online friend, but I didn't expect that after chatting for a while, I realized that she looks like an old friend of mine very much."
"I knew she lived in London, so I planned to fly to London to meet her, but who knew that she would come to New York to play, so I asked her to meet here today.
"At first, I was not sure. After all, we haven't seen each other for decades, but when I saw her today, I knew —"
"That's right!"
"It's her!"
"Her?" One must know that in English, he, she, it was different. Moreover, seeing Old Stan's face beaming with joy, Yzo suddenly felt like he smelled the scent of gossip.
"Looking at you, she's not your first love, is she?"
"And you're still single?"
Issou's questions popped out one after another, but Old Stan did not need to answer at all because his smile said it all.
The black-haired girl immediately responded with an "Oh ~", but then she thought it was a bit strange that he was here. "Then why didn't you guys go for dinner or something?"
Old Stan said, "I originally booked a restaurant, but she said that she hasn't tried my cooking in years, so I decided to show off my skills tonight."
Hearing that, Issou glanced at Old Stan's cart. Other than some ingredients, there was a bottle of red wine and scented candles.
Noticing Issou's gaze, Old Stan coughed lightly. Seeing that it was his turn, he did not give her a chance to tease him and quickly went to pay the bill.
Seeing this, Issou almost laughed out loud. After all, the old man's reaction was too cute.
When it was Issou's turn, she took out the things in the cart and asked Old Stan, who was waiting for her after paying the bill, in a teasing tone, "I bought a lot of things. If you're in a hurry, why don't you leave first?"
Old Stan said, "Who said I'm in a hurry?"
Issou was speechless.
That was very different from what he said, okay?
Issou glanced at Old Stan. Although the old man said he was not in a hurry, it was obvious that he wanted to personally empty out the things in her cart.
Just as Issou was thinking about it, something happened. A man rushed in from outside with a handgun in his hand. He pointed the gun at the cashier and said, "Robbery!"
Issou was speechless.
Be reasonable.
Was she a bit unlucky recently?
But before Yi Su could react, she saw the cashier auntie who was scanning the goods with the scanner gun. She calmly raised her hand and pushed away the gun that was almost in front of her. "Wait, I'm paying the bill for the customer."
Issou was speechless.
The man with the gun was also confused. He probably did not expect the cashier lady to react like this, but in his dizziness, he did not forget the purpose of his visit. The gun that was pushed away quickly pointed at her again.
However, before the man could speak, he was hit in the back. He turned his head and saw the old man, who was waiting by the side, waving the cane in his hand and yelling at him, "Brat, didn't you hear that she's paying the bill? We're in a hurry. Would it kill you to wait for us to pay the bill before you rob us? "
Issou, "…!!!"
Logically speaking, if the cashier auntie's calm expression just now made her a little dumbfounded, then Old Stan's action simply made her stupefied, okay?!
Everyone said that the West Side aunties were the scariest, but Issou felt that the New Yorkers were not to be trifled with either, because under their powerful aura, the robbers would be crushed into pieces.
Issou, "…"
Eh.
His heart ached for some reason.
However, Yi Su's heartache only lasted for three seconds before she saw the men who were crushed by her domineering aura one after another raise their handguns and fire at the ceiling. Then, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the nearest people except for the cashier auntie and old Stan …
Issou.
Issou, "…!!!???"
She had never seen such a person who was so particular about picking soft persimmons to pinch!
This time, the owner of the number given by the "robot baby" was the burly man who tried to molest Lorna in the supermarket a few days ago, only to end up worse off — Jonathan Willis.
