Chapter 23 It's just that love is gone.
Turn left from the gate of the medical school and enters a small restaurant.
The original name of the small restaurant was Jane Eyre's Bake.
Jian is Jian Hongzhe's surname, and love is part of Chen Yuan's name. Now it seems that this name is simply ironic and ridiculous.
The edges of the path are covered with moss, and there are familiar scenes at the sight, and everything is in the past.
She looked up at the card face and said, "Love" had fallen off at some point, leaving only a faint mark, blurry and unable to see the words clearly.
It's like Chen Yuan.
In a small restaurant of more than ten square meters, there are five or six wooden tables of four people. The legs of the table are moldy and black napkins are everywhere on the ground.
It was clear that winter was coming, and there were still many fly flying, and there were two buckets at the door, which made people disgusting before entering the store.
It's meal time now, and the other shops at the school gate are crowded, but there are no students here.
On the bluestone steps at the door, two gangsters were squatting, smoking double joy, and smoked.
The walls of the shop were covered with red paint, with two large red words "Repay money", and the paint was winding and down along the words.
They didn't say a word, nor did they threaten the ground, but just squatted at the door of the store. It was already powerful enough that no one dared to visit this store, and even takeaway people did not accept orders from this store.
Jian Hongzhe seemed to have become accustomed to it, just pretending that they did not exist and that both sides were at peace.
He was holding a fly swatter in his hand, slapped at the glass randomly, wearing a blue apron, and an advertisement for blending golden dragon fish with oil. The apron was dark and shallow, full of oil stains.
On the square table near the store, there was a woman wearing a camel-colored mink coat. The fur was rough and it could be seen at a glance that it was artificial fiber hair.
She permed her cheap curly hair, her cheekbones were very high, and her nails were dyed red nail polish on her nails. She pressed the calculator to check the accounts. Finally, she irritatedly closed the account book and threw it on Jian Hongzhe.
"Look, this month has been in vain again." Chen Yan cursed angrily, his words sarcastic, "The store can't make money, and the outside is owing debts. What do you think you can do?"
The more Chen Yan saw Jian Hongzhe's cowardly look like he was hitting flies, the more angry Chen Yan felt that he was suffering with her and her son. He regretted why he fell in love with him at the beginning, and gritted his teeth and scolded, "Barewell!"
Jian Hongzhe knew that he was inappropriate, so he was still angry. He bent down to pick up the account book on the ground. As soon as he looked up, he saw Jian Qing walking from a distance, and his eyes lit up.
I quickly took off the toilet paper and dust stained on the account book, straightened my back, "My daughter is here to pay back the money for her father, and I will make a comeback soon."
The two gangsters smoking smoked at the door looked at each other, and their eyes fell directly on Jian Qing, grinning, with a hint of embarrassment and malicious intentions.
"Sister, how do you pay back the money for Jian Hongzhe?"
The gangster's eyes moved to Zhou Cheng who was following her, and he splashed his tongue, as if he understood, "I'm quite smart, I know to ask a man to help you."
Zhou Cheng's face was stagnant, and he felt a little embarrassed. He was obviously not afraid of his shadow, and he had nothing to do with him.
Jian Qing frowned, "I won't pay back the money for him."
Her tone was indifferent, and she looked like she was not concerned about her own affairs.
The gangster raised his eyebrows rascally and deliberately scared her, "If you don't pay back the money, cut off one of his hands."
Jian Qing still had no expression and glanced at him, "If you want to cut, just chop it, but if you go in for a few years, I think it will be a bit of a loss for you."
“…”
The gangster was speechless for a moment by her. He was used to seeing the various reactions of the debtor's family, but he had never seen such a cold person. He felt a little bored and walked away with a cigarette in his mouth.
Zhou Cheng listened silently, but unexpectedly Jian Qing looked at An Anjing, who was quite brave. He did not show any timidity to the gangsters who looked fierce and tyrannical, but instead remained calm and composed.
Principal Li's black Audi drove out of the school. He poked his head out and greeted him diligently, "Professor Lu, I've been waiting for a long time, get in the car."
Lu Huaiyu responded lightly, opened the door and got into the passenger seat, and the smell of smoke in the car was a little choking.
His eyes were casually casting towards the alley in the corner in the distance, and he asked casually: "Where is there?"
Principal Li was stunned, followed his gaze, and quickly realized, "Oh--it's out there, it's a small restaurant."
It was already 1:00 noon and they hadn't had dinner yet. Principal Li was obviously hungry and smacked his lips, as if he was recalling something. He chatted: "In the past, the dishes in this restaurant were delicious and the business was good. Not only students, but also our teachers often went to eat."
"Oh by the way, this store also has a very nice store name, called Jane Eyre, the name of the book written by Charlotte Brontë."
He deliberately mentioned the author's name, as if this would make him look very educated.
Principal Li turned around on the steering wheel, and the black Audi drove out of the school and merged into the lane. He could see a corner of the alley, and soon threw the alley behind him.
Lu Huaiyu slowly withdrew his gaze and supported his chin, as if he was tired of driving and had no energy.
After a while, he continued to ask, "Why is Jane Eyre?"
Principal Li has never found an opportunity to get close to Lu Huaiyu. It is rare that he is interested in things around the school, so Principal Li talks endlessly.
"I was very curious about this before. In such a small hotel, I couldn't tell that the boss was a cultural person. As a result, when I asked, I realized that they had never read the book "Jane Eyre" at all."
Principal Li turned on the turn signal and continued: "The store name was chosen by the boss's wife. The boss's surname is Jian, which is a rare surname. The boss's wife's name has the word "love". When they get together, they become Jane Eyre, which means 'simple love'."
After he said that, he smiled and felt a little moved, "The restaurant behind him suddenly changed a boss lady. Jane Eyre's hotel is still called Jane Eyre, but the love is gone. Moreover, after changing the boss lady, the quality of the dishes will be no longer good, and there will be fewer people to eat."
Principal Li was still talking, as if he missed the original small shop very much. "In the past, the boss was a very good person. The small shop was clean and tidy. I was tired of eating in the canteen, so I always went there to have a small cooking."
“…”
The man in the passenger seat said nothing, just listened quietly, staring at the alley gradually fading away in the rearview mirror until he could no longer see it. He lowered his eyelids, his eyelids, his eyelids were like crow feathers, and his dark eyes were closed, and he couldn't see clearly what he was thinking.
The place where you eat is not far from the health school. It is a well-known high-end restaurant in Yu City. It has antique decoration. A huge wooden water truck at the door is eye-catching, turning slowly, causing white water splashes.
The private room that Principal Li ordered half a month in advance, seven or eight seats had already sat in the spacious and bright private room, and only the two seats in the main seat were still empty, so they should be waiting for them.
The teachers in the oral nurse department were sitting on the table.
The male-female ratio of students in the health school has always been unbalanced, and the same is true for teachers, all female teachers.
When Lu Huaiyu walked into the private room, his lips pursed and his eyebrows frowned slightly invisibly.
The female teachers who were originally chattering and talking suddenly became quiet, and their eyes fell on the man who appeared at the door.
Especially a few young teachers, their eyes were flashing, and the brave ones stared straight at people, and the timid and shy heads were lowered.
Teacher Bai, who was over 50 years old, saw it clearly and coughed lightly, "Oh--Principal, this is Professor Lu, right?"
"I didn't expect Professor Lu to be so young and promising. Come on, come on, sit down quickly, and you have all the seats left for you."
Principal Li put the leather bag in his hand on the leather sofa next to him and greeted: "Professor Lu, these are all teachers in the oral nurse department. Please ask you to teach them well in the afternoon."
He introduced people to Lu Huaiyu one by one.
The expression on Lu Huaiyu's face was always faint, nodding, maintaining politeness and politeness, but he could also feel the distance on his body, which was high and difficult to get close to.
After they sat down, the waiter quickly served the dishes one by one.
The young female teachers seemed to be chatting in groups of three or three, but they both paid attention to the man sitting in the main seat intentionally or unintentionally.
His side face was hidden in the shadow, his eyes drooped slightly, with a bit of carelessness.
The index finger with distinct joints is clean and slender, and it hits the tabletop in a row, listening to the people next to it, nodding and nodding, looking very serious, but also seemingly wandering outside.
Every move is noble and elegant.
Principal Li is used to dancing with a long sleeve and can speak a lot of scenes, and the whole scene is all up to him.
He turned the turntable and introduced the dishes to Lu Huaiyu, "Professor Lu, this dish is a specialty of Yu City, with fresh crabs."
"It is to peel the meat from the crab first, make the meat inside, wrap it with ginger and garlic seasoning and flour on the outside, fry it in sesame oil, make it soy sauce and vinegar, which is particularly crispy and delicious."
Teacher Bai also picked up a piece of crab fresh, took a bite, and frowned, "The crabs in this restaurant are not as good as those made by Jane Eyre's boss lady."
"It's a pity that I can't eat it again-" Another old teacher next to Teacher Bai sighed and echoed.
Lu Huaiyu's hand holding chopsticks, his eyelids lifted up, and for the first time he took the initiative to talk, "Why can't I eat it?"
Teacher Bai swallowed a bite of the food in his mouth, "I heard that one day I rode a tricycle to the vegetable market to purchase goods at 4 a.m., and fainted on the road, and then never got up again."
Jian Qing opened the glass door of the small restaurant, and the wind chimes at the door were jingling, and the sound was crisp.
The wind chime is a white porcelain wind chime with a lilac flower paper hanging below. The words on the flower paper are blurred and cannot be seen clearly. The breeze stirs, swaying and swaying.
She stared at the wind chime for a long time, and her nose felt sore for no reason. It was the first time she participated in a children's painting competition organized by the school when she was a child and won the first place.
Xiao Jianqing was not as tall as an adult's knees. She was held by Chen Yuan and hung it on it with her clumsy little hands.
"Aqing, I'm back-" Jian Hongzhe raised his hand and put the stool on the table back on the ground, "Come and sit."
He saw Zhou Cheng following Jian Qing, his eyes moved slightly and smiled, "Did you even bring your boyfriend?"
"He is a real estate agent. Are you ready for the certificate?" Jian Qing stepped into the restaurant and felt uncomfortable all over her body, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.
Jian Hongzhe's mouth froze when he heard this, "It's all a family, and you and me are all there to do with the house. If you have money, I will help my father pay back the money. Isn't the house still yours in the future?"
Before Jian Qing could speak, she sat next to her legs raised and played with her nails. Chen Yan stopped doing it, "Jian Hongzhe, don't forget that you have a biological son."
"I said, I won't pay you back, I'm here to buy a house." Jian Qing didn't want to give Chen Yan a glance, and repeated it with the impatient feeling in her heart.
“…”
Zhou Cheng has been engaged in business for so many years and has long become a human being. He guessed the relationship between them and said actively: "I went to the field for the house in Yu County yesterday. The location is remote and has been disrepaired. I can't find a second buyer for a price of 200,000 yuan."
He took out two set contracts from his briefcase, "You can take a look at the proposed contract first."
Chen Yan sneered, and pointed the index finger of the red-painted nails on the contract, looked at Jian Hongzhe sarcastically, and said lightly: "Didn't your daughter pay off the debt for you? Why do I think she is taking advantage of the situation to rob—"
Jian Hongzhe felt faceless, blushed and his neck, pulled the contract, and threw it directly on Jian Qing's face, "Bloody!"
Jian Qing was a little confused after a sudden blow and didn't have time to hide.
