“Such a small restaurant?”
Glancing around the restaurant, Wang Jiawen didn’t know if he should cry or laugh. He asked, “Such a small restaurant and you are willing to spend three million just to buy a mbership card? This is... Dad, you’re not being cheated, are you?”
Although Wang Jiawen didn’t care about the three million fees, he was concerned about his father being cheated. If his dad was being deceived, the cost was another matter, but he would definitely report it.
“Nonsense.” Wang Qiang, sounding very unhappy, said “Well, driving us here is good enough. Go ahead and run your errands! You can pick us up in two hours.”
“Ah?” Wang Jiawen was speechless.
He managed to find ti to visit his parents with his family and had planned to have dinner together. However, the restaurant was so tiny. And now his father wanted him to leave. How could this happening!
Even Su Yu’s face shrank in dismay. Shortly after her marriage, her father-in-law was the director of the ministry and he had a powerful officer aura about him. At that ti, deep in her heart, Su Yu was a bit afraid of him. Maybe in awe of him would be a more accurate description of her feelings. But when Wang Qiang retired, he gradually beca friendlier. Perhaps it was due to his age. His temper had llowed and this made Su Yu a bit more relaxed. But now, it seed that his anger was back. He had barely spoken a few words and now he was asking his son to leave. Was he experiencing male nopause?
Wu Liying, chuckled when she saw the expressions on their son and daughter-in-law’s faces. She gently patted Wang Qiang’s arm and talked to him in a light scolding tone.
“Can’t you control your temper and speak nicely?”
After saying that, Wu Liying looked at them with a smile.
“Your dad didn’t make it clear. Today, we’re here mainly to let Yihan taste the food. We only have three mbership cards, which ans you two can’t co in and have a al with us. You have to join the queue if you want to eat. Looking at the number of people here, we estimate that it will take an hour or more for your turn. So your dad wants you two to go out for a al and enjoy ti with each other. Co back later and pick us up.”
“Oh, hey hey.” Su Yu laughed and said, “It’s okay. It’s okay. Jiawen and I will go sowhere else to eat.”
“This is the first ti I’ve heard about this rule that each mbership card can only be used by one person. Are you kidding? What kind of restaurant is this?” Wang Jiawen’s eyebrows creased slightly and he felt a little dissatisfied with the restaurant.
“This is the best restaurant in the world!” Wang Qiang glared his son and then said to his wife, “Dear, let’s go in.”
After that, Wang Qiang took the lead and walked into the restaurant. Wu Liying smiled apologetically at her son and daughter-in-law and followed him in with her granddaughter.
“Daddy, Mommy, bye-bye.” Wang Yihan stretched out her chubby palm and waved goodbye to her parents.
Wang Jiawen’s expression stiffened.
Wang Qiang and the other two stepped into the restaurant, with the queue of diners staring at them, as well as Mr. And Mrs. Wang.
“Well, Jiawen, is Dad not satisfied with us?” Su Yu’s mouth drooped.
“Ah...” Wang Jiawen sighed softly and said, “Of course not. We go ho only once a month, how can he be happy? I want to go back often. But the business is keeping too busy.”
“I believe that Dad understands.” Su Yu shook her head, gave a light laugh and said, “Shall we go out for a al then? Would you like to try that new western restaurant on Sanhu Road?”
“No.” Wang Jiawen waved his hand, locked the car door and walked to the queue with Su Yu’s hand around his shoulders. “Xiaoyu, we will join the queue here today. When Dad sees us queuing up later, he’ll be in a better mood.”
There was a saying that no one knew a son better than his father. It ant that the father knew his son best. But it can also be said in reverse that no one knew a father better than his son because a son knew his father best.
“Well, it’s up to you.”Su Yu nodded slightly and walked with Wang Jiawen towards the row of small chairs and sat down to queue.
In the restaurant.
Zhang Han still had two dishes left to be cooked, so he was busy in the kitchen.
At this ti, whether it was the mbers who had not eaten or the ordinary diners who were eating, all eyes were focused on the at dishes on the kitchen counter, so nobody noticed the arrival of Wang Qiang and the others.
“Eh? It slls good.” Once inside, Wang Qiang could sll the fragrance floating in the air.
The pleasant fragrance of pork whetted Wang Qiang, Wu Liying and Wang Yihan’s appetites.
“We are having at again for dinner?” Wang Qiang said as he put his granddaughter beside Wu Liying on the opposite side and sat next to Pearson himself.
“Yes, it could be called half a pork feast. Gee, it’s a lucky day. Hey hey hey.” Pearson answered with a smile. After answering Wang Qiang’s question, Pearson turned around politely. He noticed Wang Yihan on the other side. He smiled and said, “You’re an adorable fat girl. What’s your na?”
Pearson’s mind was still filled with images of the dishes at this ti. It never occurred to him that the mbership card that he usually borrowed would be used by this little fat girl, that would an that he could only look but not eat the delicious al tonight!
“No, I’m not fat. You’re bad. I don’t want to tell you my na.” Wang Yihan answered with a pout. People calling her fat made her unhappy.
“Well, girl, you’re not fat. It’s my fault. So, what’ s your na? Can you tell this ti?” Pearson laughed.
“Hum!” Wang Yihan snorted softly. She turned her head and decided to ignore him.
“Yihan?” Wang Qiang coughed softly.
Wang Qiang was a relatively strict grandfather. Although he was kind to her, she was afraid of her grandpa. Of course, it had sothing to do with her mother’s usual opinion of her grandfather.
After hearing her grandpa’s words, Wang Yihan reluctantly said, “My na is Wang Yihan.”
Then she turned her head away as if she did not want to talk to Pearson.
“Ha-ha-ha, lovely little girl.” Pearson shook his head and smiled.
Wang Yihan turned her head and saw a little girl sitting on the sofa not far away, which made her curious. She wanted to say hello to the girl, but she dared not move at all under Grandpa’s eyes. She looked around and saw that the Boonie Bears was playing on TV. She purposely spoke in a loud voice.
“Grandpa, I like to watch cartoons. I like Bramble very much!”
“Er?” ngng, who was sitting on the sofa suddenly heard a child’s voice and turned her head out of curiosity. When she saw Wang Yihan sitting in a chair, she didn’t care about the TV anymore, nor did her big bright eyes blink. Her heart longed for new friends because she had no friends in China except for those in North Arica. She was hoping to make a new friend.
Wang Yihan also looked at ngng. Seeing ngng, who was so beautiful, she felt numbed. She thought the little girl on the sofa was pretty but too thin.
The eyes of both girls were filled with curiosity. Wang Yihan was bold enough to jump out of her chair and walked to the sofa slowly, regardless whether her Grandpa agreed.
At first, her pace was swift, but before approaching, she slowed down. Finally, when she reached the back of the sofa, she looked at ngng lying on the lazyback of the sofa and asked curiously, “What’s your na?”
“Hmm...” ngng smiled shyly and answered, “My na is Zhang Yung. You can call ngng just like my PaPa. What’s your na?”
“My na is Wang Yihan. Nice to et you, ngng. Can we be friends?” Wang Yihan’s eyes were bigger than usual and she felt very tense. She seed afraid that ngng would not agree to be her friend.
“All right.” ngng then laughed happily.
“Then you call Yihan, I call you ngng, hey hey hey...” Wang Yihan also laughed happily.
Sotis, the beginning of children’s friendship started with a re greeting.
“Yihan, you can sit next to ,” ngng issued her an invitation.
“Well, here I am.” Wang Yihan ran around the sofa, ca to ngng’s side, jumped up and sat down.
“ngng, you are beautiful.” Close up, Wang Yihan saw how delicate ngng’s face was.
“Really?” ngng said in surprise.
“Yes.”
“You’re beautiful, too.” was ngng’s giggling reply.
“Hey hey, ngng, you’re my best friend. But... but...” Wang Yihan hesitated to say what was on her mind.
“Er? What is it?” ngng asked nervously.
“You’re a bit thin.” Wang Yihan hesitated for a long ti and finally said what was on her mind. In her eyes, she had the right figure.
“Thin? Then, each ti I eat, I will grow a bit fatter.” ngng said convincingly.
“That’s all right. You’ll put on weight slowly.”
“... ”
The two little girls chatted away, which drew the attention of many people in the restaurant. Sotis children’s interaction could be very eye-catching.
ngng and Wang Yihan talked for a few minutes. ngng decided to share her toys, one of which was the remote control car.
“ngng, I want to play with the remote control car, too” Wang Yihan said, blinking her eyes.
She drove this kind of car very well and wanted to show off in front of her new friend. But there was only one remote control car, so she could only wait to use it.
“But... ngng is still playing with it,” ngng answered.
“If you lend it to for a mont, I’ll give it back to you, OK?” Hearing ngng’s refusal, Wang Yihan pouted.
“But, no. I am not done playing with it yet,” ngng muttered.
“If you are not going to lend it to , I, I will not like you!” Wang Yihan pouted angrily and she felt as if she was about to cry.
She felt angry and so did ngng. If the toy belonged to her, why did she have to lend it to her?
