Chapter 378 - 368: Golden Autumn in October
Shao’s Home-cooked Restaurant had undergone a renovation without I knowing when, all the old tables replaced and plastic green plants hung on the walls for decoration. It no longer looked as shabby as before, and the cash register now boasted a proper computer with a QR code for payments nearby, significantly elevating the class of the place.
Uncle Shao was a bit fatter than before, a touch of white having appeared at his temples, casually wiping the cash register’s table with a cloth. As he saw a familiar face among the group, he was about to greet Xiao Yu but halted his hand mid-air and stared closely at Qin Guanglin.
"Uncle Shao, don’t recognize me?"
Qin Guanglin joked with a smile, "It’s Qin Guanglin."
"Qin? Hey... I knew you looked familiar, sit down, please sit." Uncle Shao glanced at He Fang holding a child and Zhou Nan with a hint of pleasant surprise, inviting them to sit and wiped the already shiny table again.
"Long time no see... You’ve caught up to me, haven’t you? Have you been living it up at Luo City Restaurant every day?"
After wiping the table again, Uncle Shao handed over the menu while joking. Taking it, he quickly went to the corner to fetch a baby chair for He Fang.
"I couldn’t afford that place... And that belly of yours wasn’t acquired at Luo City Restaurant either."
"True, getting married does make one prone to gaining weight, I need to control it a bit."
Uncle Shao looked at Xiao Yu and Qin Guanglin, feeling nostalgic as the two, along with Sun Wen, were the ones he was closest to back in the day. All polite kids, occasionally ordering extra dishes late at night when it drizzled and switching Qingdao for Budweiser, never treating delivery as a given and he never asked them for delivery charges.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu had grown a beard, and Qin Guanglin had gotten as fat as him, both now adults with families.
