Chapter 71 (1/2)

The food wholesale market opens at two o'clock in the morning and closes at three o'clock. It's really hard to work at the breakfast shop. The boss usually closes the stall in the afternoon. After dinner, he goes to bed around 6 o'clock and sleeps until 1 o'clock. After that, I got up to wash, simply eat something, and then drove a pickup truck to the wholesale market to choose ingredients for a whole day.

Due to the influence of African swine fever, today's pork has risen again, and it is not fat and thin properly. Picky also only found a few pieces of qualified pork. After buying other materials, the boss dragged the ingredients back to the breakfast shop.

It took a lot of time to pick pork today, so he arrived at the store later than usual. Just opened the rolling shutter door, after unloading, suddenly heard a strange sound nearby.

It was a crutch, a strange noise from a limp.

Voice from far to near, soon came to the boss's shop door. The boss was a little surprised. Just as he was about to turn his head, he heard his rolling shutter door knocked several times.

The midnight wind blew, and the knock on the door was not small, but it looked gloomy and urgent.

The boss couldn't help shivering and asked subconsciously, ”who, it's less than three o'clock now. I don't open until six. ”

”Xiao Li, Xiao Li. I'm Aunt Wang. ” The man outside the door replied.

”Aunt Wang?” The boss was stunned. This voice is really Aunt Wang's. My own breakfast shop has been open for more than 20 years. Aunt Wang basically comes to the store to buy breakfast every three or five times. And she walks unsteadily and often pestles a crutch. It turned out that the sound of crutches I heard was Aunt Wang's.

But Aunt Wang usually walks very slowly. Why is she so fast today? She is an old lady in her eighties. Can she walk so fast? But the boss didn't think about this detail.

”Yes, Xiao Li. Aunt Wang has come to beg you for one thing. ” Aunt Wang said through the rolling shutter door.

”What's up, Aunt Wang?”

”Xiao Li, my son is hungry. But there's only your shop nearby. It's the first to open. Can you get him something to eat? ” Aunt Wang said.

”Well, I haven't opened the door yet.” The boss is a little embarrassed.

”It doesn't matter. Just get something. My son's mouth is not sharp. There was little food at home. My son ate all the old bacon that had been stored in my refrigerator for several years, and cooked up all the rice, but he was still hungry. ” Aunt Wang begged, ”I really can't help it. Be kind, Xiao Li. My aunt has money. If you let my son eat freely, you'll be a great help to my aunt. ”

To tell the truth, he has seen Aunt Wang often for decades, but Aunt Wang's son and boss have never seen it. It is said that the young man suffered some setbacks when he was young. Finally, he hid at home and avoided the world.

It's not easy for anyone. The boss sighed and was moved by Aunt Wang's plea. He opened the rolling shutter door to let Aunt Wang in. As soon as the rolling shutter door was opened, a strange smell came face-to-face.

On the narrow street, all the shops are closed. The street lights on both sides of the road are extremely dim and can't see the road clearly at all. Only the lights of the breakfast shop cut the darkness around like a lone boat in the sea.

There were two people standing at the door. Aunt Wang, clutching a crutch, leaned against a crooked middle-aged man. The man was wearing a cotton padded jacket and a hat. He couldn't see his face clearly.

This should be Aunt Wang's son.
