C8 (1/2)

It was already noon when the calf returned to the restaurant. The inn was bustling with activity. As soon as Xiao Niu entered, the waiter ran over and said, ”Shopkeeper, you're back. Where have you been these past few days?” The shopkeeper had handed the counter to Xiao Niu, who was in charge. He had barely made it through the last few days without her around.

The waiter continued to nag, ”We were looking for you everywhere, but no one knows where you went.”

Xiao Niu said, ”I have a friend who is sick. He was in an emergency so I didn't have time to inform you.” There's nothing going on in the shop these few days, right? ”

The waiter said, ”Nothing happened. It's just that the business is doing extremely well and we don't have enough manpower. Everyone is busy, and you see how this fellow is busy. Even Lord Tian has personally come out to help.”

”Oh?” Xiao Niu was puzzled. ”Why is business so good?”

The waiter quickly said, ”This is all thanks to you, shopkeeper.” The calf laughed. ”Stop flattering me.”

The waiter hurriedly said, ”Really, I'm not lying.” Xiao Niu shook his head in disbelief and said, ”Go and get Ah Six to come to the back. Tell him that I have something to talk to him about.” The waiter saw that he did not believe him and wanted to say something, but hearing his orders, he hurriedly said, ”Yes!” He hurried off.

Before the calf could even sit down in its own room, Da Niu came running in. Seeing Xiao Niu, he said in a muffled voice, ”Boss, you've been there for the past few days. You've really made me anxious.”

Xiao Niu said, ”This matter will not be cleared up in a short period of time. Now, we have to leave this place.”

Da Niu said, ”Why is that so?”

The calf laughed. ”Don't you want to leave?”

Da Niu hurriedly said, ”That's not what I meant. I'm talking about why you're in such a hurry to leave?”

Xiao Niu said, ”You know that I don't have any goals, so I will do whatever I want to do.” I suddenly feel like leaving today, so, I … ”

Da Niu quickly said, ”Then I'll go and pack up my things.”

Xiao Niu hurriedly said, ”Don't be in such a hurry to pack up. Go get the boss first.” ”No matter what, he is still pretty good to us. We still have to bid him farewell.” Da Niu said, ”I'll go right now.”

Actually, the reason the calf left in such a hurry was mainly because it didn't want to meet up with the people it had met in the restaurant that day, lest it cause unnecessary trouble for the owner.

Not long after Da Niu left, he brought the shop owner over. When the shopkeeper heard that Xiao Niu was leaving, he immediately put down what he was doing and came over. One had to know that he greatly admired the calf. During his time in the restaurant, Xiao Niu had helped him a lot, especially since his conversation with Xiao Niu had inspired him to find a goal for his life. That was why Xiao Niu could leave the restaurant to him to manage his own affairs. Although he knew that Xiao Niu would leave sooner or later, he did not expect her to arrive so soon.

As soon as the shopkeeper arrived, he said to Xiao Niu, ”Brother, I've been busy these past few days, so I haven't been able to find you. Is it because I've neglected something that made you decide to leave?”

The calf hurriedly smiled and said, ”Big brother Old Fa (the owner's surname is Gong) doesn't seem to be that kind of person. I've been like a brother these days, and I've managed this shop for a long time.” I only decided to leave on the spur of the moment. I have something important to take care of, so I hope that you can forgive me. ”

When the owner heard that there was something important, he quickly replied, ”Oh, so it's like that. ”Then why are you in such a hurry? Are you leaving today?”

Xiao Niu smiled. ”That's right. I asked Ah Six to call you over to say goodbye.”

The shop owner said with a sad face, ”Brother, you can't leave today no matter what. If you leave, this shop will have no one to manage it.”

Xiao Niu thought about it and said, ”Alright then, I'll let Ah Liu stay here for a few more days.” The shopkeeper had no intention of keeping the calf. He saw that in the few days that Xiao Niu had been gone, there were too many customers and too few people, but they could still barely make it. This was all thanks to Da Niu, so he wanted to use this opportunity to save Da Niu.
