The opportunity to wake up

"Aunt Xia, come and try this. This is Bazhen seabass cooked by Mother Wu herself. This is our hotel's signature dish."

After Mu Qing helped Mr. Xia check in, she took her into the private room and started chatting. Naturally, they wanted to have a good meal together at noon.

"Hmm~! It tastes really good. This sea bass looks small, but I didn't expect the meat to be so fresh and tender. The taste is indeed extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Sanmei has become very good at cooking in recent years. Unlike me, the dishes passed down by the master are almost in ruins. "

Mr. Xia just took a bite of the sea bass and drank a sip of the fish soup, and he was full of praise.

"Ouch, please stop praising me. I don't dare to take credit for this dish. I learned this dish from someone else. The master is Mu Qing's boyfriend."

Wu Ma came in with a golden dish. After hearing what Mr. Xia said, she quickly explained.

"Oh, it seems like Mu Qing's boyfriend is really a great chef. Even the third sister wants to learn cooking from him. This cooking skill should not be underestimated, right?"

Mr. Xia stared at Mu Qing with burning eyes, observing the reaction on her face.

"Ah~! It's okay, but his cooking skills have improved very quickly, and I have never seen anyone as lucky as him.

The boutique store has allowed him to live comfortably, but he has never given up his pursuit of cooking skills, which is indeed surprising.

Oh, yes, there’s more.”

It seemed that Mu Qing always had endless things to say when talking about Chu Yunfeng, but as she was talking, she saw something wrong with the way the two of them looked at her?
"What are you looking at me for? I didn't say anything wrong."

After saying this, her voice became softer and quieter, and Mu Qing lowered her head shyly.
"Our little girl is in love now. It seems she has met someone she really likes. She praised him so well. Why don't you bring it to Aunt Xia to help you check it out?"

When Mr. Xia said this, he rubbed his fingers back and forth on the teacup and looked at Mu Qing without blinking.

"Chu Yunfeng won't open the shop this afternoon. Let's ask him to come over and have a meal together in the evening. Your Aunt Xia finally came back, so it's time to meet her."

Wu's mother saw that Mu Qing was a little shy just now, and was afraid that she would be too shy to let go, so she spoke and beat the drum.

"Well, I'll talk to him later and see if he's free in the evening. If he's free, I'll let him cook two more dishes.

Oh, by the way, he made the cold noodles, jelly and ice noodles in the snacks below. Aunt Xia, you haven’t tasted it yet, how about I go down and get you a taste? "

puff~!

Mr. Xia and Wu's mother laughed at the same time. Seeing Mu Qing's beaming expression when she talked about Chu Yunfeng, it was clear how attracted she was to Chu Yunfeng.

"What are you laughing at? Why are you always like this?"

Mu Qing found that her calmness seemed to have lost its effect in front of these two people. As long as the topic of Chu Yunfeng was mentioned, she seemed to be a little "uncalm".

"Okay, okay, I don't mean to make fun of you, I'm just very curious about your boyfriend. I just ate the cold noodles and they were really good.

So I want to meet him even more. Why don't you call him now and ask if he is free this evening? "

Mu Qing couldn't refuse what Mr.

"This is crispy fish, your favorite food. Try it quickly. I'll go to the kitchen to make another dish. It's the dish that the master used to treat us the most harshly."

Mother Wu pushed the golden dish she just brought in to Mr. Xia, then stood up and walked out.

Mu Qing was talking on the phone beside her, but Mr. Xia didn't seem to be paying attention to it. Mu Qing's voice just passed through her ears, and no content seemed to be retained at all.

Mr. Xia's thoughts wandered to nowhere, and it wasn't until Mu Qing called twice that she came back to her senses.

"He came over in the afternoon, and I told him to make two special dishes in the afternoon.
Huh~?

Aunt Xia, what's wrong with you? "

Mu Qing saw that Mr. Xia suddenly became a little absent-minded and his state seemed a little unstable.

"Oh~! It's okay. What did you just say?"

Mr. Xia had just come to his senses, but he didn't hear clearly what Mu Qing just said.

"Chu Yunfeng will come over this afternoon. Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"

Mu Qing grabbed Mr. Xia's arm and asked with some concern.

"No, I'm fine. Come on, let's try this crispy fish. This is your mother Wu's specialty. This dish brought us a lot of joy back then.

There were a lot of fish in the river at that time, and we liked to go to the river to catch fish in our free time when we were learning how to cook. Then your mother and I were responsible for processing, and Mother Wu was responsible for making.

Think about how comfortable we were when we were young, but after we reach middle age...hey, I won't talk about it anymore. "

Mr. Xia picked up a piece of small fish and put it in Mu Qing's bowl, then picked up a piece himself and took a bite.

There was a crunching sound, and Mu Qing didn't move even until Mr. Xia finished eating the fish.

Hmm~?

Seeing Mu Qing's red eyes, Mr. Xia knew that what he just said reminded her of her mother, who was still lying on the hospital bed, and made her sad.

"Don't be sad. We'll go to the hospital to see her after eating. You have to be stronger, but I still need you to take care of her."

Mr. Xia patted Mu Qing's back and comforted her gently.

"Yeah~! I know, it's okay."

Mu Qing wiped her tears with a handkerchief when she heard this, and then nodded seriously. Just as Mr. Xia said, she didn't have time to be sentimental, but her heart really needed to be taken care of.

"By the way, you haven't told me where your little boyfriend lives, and what do his parents do?"

Although the tone of Mr. Xia's question was very calm and she asked it inadvertently while picking up vegetables, if you look closely, you will find that the chopsticks in her hands are tightly squeezed.

"He, he is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage."

As soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, the crispy fish on Mr. Xia's chopsticks immediately fell off.

"What? Orphan?

Orphanage?
Which welfare home is it? "

The chopsticks in Mr. Xia's hand were trembling slightly. He asked questions very quickly, and the look in his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Hongxin Welfare Institute, I remember I sent you their information last time?"

The last time Mu Qing met Chu Yunfeng in the welfare home, she went to get information.

Aunt Xia has been inquiring about various information in domestic welfare institutions over the years. She doesn't know what she is doing. It seems that she has never heard that there is a missing child in her family?
“Hongxin Welfare Home?

Huh~?its not right?

Chu Yunfeng's name was not in the information you sent me last time?
Could it be that you made a mistake? "

Mr. Xia actually clearly remembered that this name was not included in the information about Hongxin Welfare Institute, which shows that she attached great importance to these information.

"No, Chu Yunfeng is from this welfare home. Is there something wrong with the information?"

Mu Qing was confused for a moment.
"Dean Liu, I'm Mu Qing, are you busy? I have something I want to check with you.

Oh~!Okay, that's it. Didn't you give me a document some time ago? Chu Yunfeng's name was not seen on it. Does he meet the conditions in the document?
That’s right, oh~!I understand, okay, okay, thank you then."

After Mu Qing hung up the phone, she saw Aunt Xia's expression was a little nervous, and she began to have a strange guess in her heart.

Does Aunt Xia have any unusual relationship with Chu Yunfeng?
This is just a woman's sixth sense. At this time, the atmosphere in the private room was in a very subtle state. Coupled with the impetus of the incident, Mu Qing had to develop a woman's instinct.

"How about it? What do you say over there?"

Seeing that Mu Qing did not inform the results immediately, Aunt Xia seemed a little anxious and began to ask questions.

Mu Qing blinked twice quickly, held the phone involuntarily with both hands, turned her eyes to Aunt Xia, and then started to say: "They said Chu Yunfeng met the conditions.

It was just omitted in the statistics at that time. Later I saw that he and I knew each other, so I didn't add it in. "

"Oh~! Yes, that's it. Okay, okay, I know. I understand."

After hearing this answer, Aunt Xia's expression became very strange. Mu Qing clearly saw that her face was suddenly happy at first, and then gradually became nervous.

At first, the two hands were clenched into fists, and then they were relaxed and touched the tea cup, and then the small bowl. In short, these two hands began to feel like they had nowhere to put them.

"Aunt Xia, what's wrong? Is there any problem?

By the way, what is the use of the information I gave you before? Are you looking for someone? "

Mu Qing asked out the doubts in her heart, wanting to know Aunt Xia's true purpose of paying attention to this matter.

"Oh~! It's nothing. I found the information for a friend, so I'll tell him later."

After Mr. Xia took a deep breath, his expression and body and mind quickly calmed down, and he returned to his previous calmness. It seemed that the panic just now had not happened, which gave Mu Qing a slight illusion.

"That"

Just as Mu Qing was about to ask more questions, Wu Ma came in with a dish and the "Xiangfeng" of the dish.

"Mu Qing, try it quickly. This is our favorite dry-steamed twice-cooked pork in the past. I guess your mother Wu has never made it for you."

Seemingly seeing Mu Qing preparing to ask about this matter, Mrs. Wu came in. Mr. Xia immediately changed the subject and drew Mu Qing's attention to the dish.

"This is your mother's favorite dish. In the past, when the master made this dish, your mother would always stay by the side, just so that she could eat two more pieces of twice-cooked pork."

Wu Ma took over the conversation, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it into Mu Qing's bowl with a smile.

"Mother."

Mu Qing's eyes were filled with tears. This time when she put the braised meat into her mouth, it tasted like chewing wax.
The meal was finally finished, and when Chu Yunfeng closed the door, Mu Qing and the others had already arrived at the hospital.

At this time, Chu Yunfeng was rushing to Xiaopo Station with Hao Minming, and he had something important to discuss with Minister Wu.

"Second sister, you are still so beautiful, but why do you have the heart to lie here? Mu Qing and Kexin still need you."

Mr. Xia saw Han Bingbing lying on the hospital bed, sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand and started talking.

Wu Ma was on the side to calm Mu Qing's emotions. Mu Qing's eyes had been red ever since the piece of twice-cooked pork entered her mouth.

"What did the doctor say? What is the second sister's condition now?"

Mr. Xia kept talking for a long time, finally stopped, and then asked about his condition.

"The doctor said that all physical indicators are normal now, but the person just can't wake up. Experts say there is a missing opportunity."

Mu Qing knew her mother's situation best, but she had no clue about the opportunity.

"Opportunity, what does this mean?"

Mr. Xia frowned and asked with some confusion.

“What the experts mean is that the mother was overstimulated before, and the concussion she received after being hit deepened the brain damage.

So some external stimulation is needed to wake her up.

I have checked a lot of information in this regard, and the experts' views are correct. Mom should be unable to accept external stimulation, so she will always be immersed in her own world.

My heart is resisting external stimulation and is unwilling to come into contact with external things, so I can't wake up now. "

Mu Qing spent a lot of energy on this matter, but there was no result or clue.

"Stimulate?

What are the second sister’s usual hobbies?Also, what was she doing on the day of the accident? "

Mr. Xia's words made Mu Qing's eyes light up, and she seemed to find a direction for her efforts, and then she started thinking quickly.

"Don't you know about the second sister's usual hobbies? She just loves to study dishes. Among the three of us, she is the only one who is the most persistent in her pursuit of cooking skills.

As for what happened that day, I'm afraid only her assistant knows about it, right? "

Wu Ma's words immediately reminded Mu Qing, and then the two of them announced a name at the same time: "Zou Xiaoli!"

"Brother Chu, come on, come on, come on, come and try my tea. Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. The quality of the boutique has gone up to another level!"

As soon as they entered the office, they were warmly received by Minister Wu. Chu Yunfeng and Hao Minming laughed when they heard this.

"Korean Angkor deserves the award. This is what I came here for today. Please give me your support."

Chu Yunfeng picked up the tea cup and took a sip and praised it full of praise. Although the tea was definitely not as good as the synthesized tea, it did not prevent Chu Yunfeng from complimenting it a little.

"Oh~? Brother, you have something big going on. Please tell me quickly."

Minister Wu likes Chu Yunfeng's name for him very much. It can be said that his promotion from director to minister is entirely due to Chu Yunfeng.

He didn't call his position directly, which was a sign of the close relationship between the two. And when he saw Chu Yunfeng coming with his assistant, he knew that today's matter would definitely not be that simple.

"Well, I have an initial idea, which is to auction off the monthly quota of the boutique. Part of the proceeds from the auction will be given back to the fans, and the other part will be used for charity.

In terms of charity, I plan to set up a charity fund, targeting welfare homes and hope primary schools. The operating funds of the fund will be drawn from rewards.

In addition, there is also a legal issue, that is, when funds such as auctions and rewards are used in funds, whether this is considered a public offering or a non-public offering.

So today I came here specifically to implement these things. "

Chu Yunfeng's words caused huge waves in Minister Wu's heart. I didn't expect Chu Yunfeng to have such selfless dedication.

You must know that with the current grade and style of the boutique, the price of this auction is not low.

Moreover, the amount of live broadcast rewards is also very considerable, all of which are used for charity, which shows that Chu Yunfeng really wants to play a big game this time.

"Wait a moment, I'll call our legal affairs department."

Minister Wu said seriously.

　The New Year is coming. I would like to wish you all a happy New Year in advance, eat well, drink well, play well and sleep well.
　　All in all good!
