Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 151 Du Xiaomei's Highlight Moment
After a few days of observation, Su Dapeng felt that what Du Shaojie said was absolutely right.

The shop’s regular customers were not diverted. Instead, due to the agglomeration effect, the store’s business became better.

It’s a pity that they only sell 50 chickens every day. They close the store after they’re sold out and don’t sell any more.

Several other stores have been hoping that the store will sell out as soon as they open. When Su Dapeng and Wang Yuxiu close their stores and leave, several nearby stores will usher in the peak sales of the day.

this morning,

Du Shaojie was instructing Huang Tingting and others on knife skills when he heard someone shouting, "Master Du, someone is looking for you outside."

He walked to the door and saw Du Xiaomei, who was beaming with joy.

"Brother, brother, I got the acceptance letter!"

Xiaomei waved her arms vigorously, and Xiaoya, who was standing next to her, also joined in the fun.

This was Du Xiaomei's highlight moment, and the first thing she thought of was running over to share this joy with her brother.

"Let me see it quickly."

Du Shaojie grabbed the admission letter and read it three times before he confirmed that Du Xiaomei was admitted to "Zhongda" in Guangzhou.

My major is finance, which is not very popular nowadays.

When filling out the application form, Du Shaojie only gave his sister a few suggestions and ultimately let her make her own decision.

Xiaomei was very bold and actually chose CUHK as her first choice, which was her wish come true.

"Mom doesn't know yet?"

Du Shaojie only remembered this matter after he calmed down a little.

"Mom doesn't know yet. Xiaoya and I came here to tell you right away. We'll tell her when we get back at noon."

Xiaomei stuck out her tongue, afraid that her brother would scold her.

Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask mom to buy some more food at noon. I'll go home and cook dinner to celebrate."

"Brother, I want to eat hot pot. How about we eat hot pot after you have a rest? We won't be busy today."

Xiaomei has received the admission letter, so of course she can make requests.

Her request was not excessive. She just wanted to have a hotpot, preferably with soda.

"That's fine! But I'm still going home for dinner tonight. It's such a big happy occasion, I have to treat you later."

Du Shaojie was overjoyed. How could he keep such a happy event secret? He wished that the entire Chunfeng Lane knew about it.

"Yeah, brother, when will Sister Yanzi come back? Don't leave her out when you treat us to a meal."

Xiaomei is still thinking about Qi Yan, but she went to her aunt's house to play after the holiday and her return date is uncertain.

Du Shaojie was too lazy to explain, and returned the admission letter to Xiaomei, asking her to keep it safe and not lose it. Then he told them to go home quickly and not hang around outside.

"Okay."

Xiaomei and Xiaoya left hand in hand, and Du Shaojie then turned around and went back to the kitchen.

From morning to noon, he was full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

While cooking, Zhong Fuxiang glanced at him a few times, wondering if the young man was possessed by a god of cooking. Today he was performing beyond his level, and each dish was better than the last.

When everyone finished their lunch, Du Shaojie was still grinning foolishly.

"Xiao Du, what happened to you? Did you find some money when you went out?"

Dong Yunxian likes to joke, and even if Zhong Fuxiang has any questions, he keeps them to himself.

"Master Dong, I'm not as lucky as you. If anyone wants to pick up money, it should be you. My sister got the admission letter today, from Yangcheng Zhongda, a key university."

Du Shaojie finally found an opportunity to show off. His sister's admission to university is a great event that brings honor to the family, and he wanted to make it known to everyone.

Dong Yunxian quickly expressed his congratulations, and even the usually taciturn Zhong Fuxiang said something auspicious.

Du Shaojie immediately felt refreshed and ordered another half bowl of rice.

When I got home in the evening, there were many guests, all of them were neighbors, and they kept praising Xiaomei. They all said that Chunfeng Lane was a good place, and it was home to two college students, Qi Yan and Du Xiaomei.

The college admission rate is very low these days, but the quality of college students is still quite high.

The house became quiet only after the guests left. Wang Yuxiu hid in the house and secretly wiped away her tears. She was happy because she could finally give a decent explanation to the child's father.

Du Shaojie saw that it was not too late, so he took Xiaomei and Xiaoya to Liang Meiqin's house.

"Sister Mikoto, I was admitted to Zhongda University. In fact, I have always been very grateful to you and Sister Yanzi in my heart. It is because you helped me lay a solid foundation that I can achieve my current results."

The three siblings entered the room and saw Liang Meiqin sitting on a chair.

It is definitely not okay to lie in bed all day, so she has started to try to move around the house. At first, it is inevitable that she will bump into things, but once she is familiar with the environment, she can perfectly avoid obstacles in the house.

Xiaomei walked up to Liang Meiqin and held her hand, crying silently as she spoke.

Xiaoya walked behind Liang Meiqin and gently massaged her shoulders.

"Xiaomei is awesome! Remember to write me a letter when you go to school, and I'll ask your brother to read it to me. Xiaoya, you should also work hard and try to get into a better university in the future."

Liang Meiqin smiled happily. Du Shaojie's two younger sisters were very hardworking, and their family finally had its happy ending after all the hardships.

"Yeah, Mikoto-san, I'll write you a letter when I get to school."

"Sister Meiqin, I will try my best." Xiaomei and Xiaoya were chatting with Liang Meiqin, while Du Shaojie said a few words to Liang's father and mother.

Liang's father said that he went to the relevant departments and they promised to find a job for his daughter. However, given his daughter's physical condition, it would be more difficult to find a job, so he asked him not to worry.

"Uncle Liang, this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. I'll give you an idea. You can contact the newspaper and ask them to write an article about Mikoto's heroic deeds."

Du Shaojie felt that Liang Meiqin was too low-key. If her family didn't contact the publicity department, no one else would necessarily know about these things.

If there is a push from public opinion, many things will go much more smoothly.

Liang's father was a little hesitant, and Liang's mother interrupted and said, "Old Liang, you are just trying to save face. Shaojie is right, this matter cannot be delayed. If you don't go to the newspaper office, I will go by myself."

"Okay, okay, I'll go. Is it okay for me to go?"

Liang's father quickly smiled and agreed, saying that sometimes face is not that important.

Du Shaojie talked to Liang Meiqin for a while, then said goodbye and left with his two sisters.

As soon as they left, Qi Yan came into the house. She had just got off the train and came home. She put down her luggage and ran to see Liang Meiqin.

"Yanzi, if you had come ten minutes earlier, you would have met Shaojie, Xiaomei, Xiaoya and their siblings."

"It's okay. I'll come and see you first, and then I'll go find that guy later."

weekend.

Du Shaojie took advantage of his rest time to set up two banquet tables at home at noon.

Su Dapeng's family, Qi Yan's family, Liang Meiqin's family, as well as neighbors who usually have a good relationship with Wang Yuxiu, and Wang Liwen all came.

At the banquet, everyone sent their blessings to Xiaomei, and at the same time, they admired Du Shaojie's cooking skills from the bottom of their hearts.

It is said that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence. In their opinion, Du Shaojie's cooking skills have reached a high level and he is a well-deserved chef.

Qi Yan felt it most clearly. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they met again, the other person's cooking skills were no longer the same and were much better than she remembered.

The guests ate and drank well and left one after another.

Only Su Dapeng, Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin stayed. Su Dapeng and Qi Yan helped Du Shaojie clean up the mess, while Xiaomei and Xiaoya sat in the room with Liang Meiqin and talked.

The shop was only open half a day today, and the 50 pieces of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] were sold out early.

Su Dapeng was very smart. He posted a notice the day before, informing everyone that the store would only be open half a day on weekends, and customers who wanted to buy chickens should come early.

After finishing the work, Qi Yan suggested going out for a walk.

Du Shaojie and others asked Liang Meiqin to sit in a wheelchair and pushed her to the park.

“I want to walk around on my own.”

When they arrived at the park, Liang Meiqin wanted to walk, so Qi Yan supported her and strolled slowly.

Everything seemed the same as before, and the four of them used to play together often, but in fact, everyone's life trajectories had already become different.

We walked around in the park for about an hour, and because we thought Misaki was too tired, we sent her home.

Su Dapeng had to take care of business matters, so he left early. When he came out of Meiqin's house, only Du Shaojie and Qi Yan were left.

"Shaojie, why do I feel like you and I are a stranger now that you've come back?"

"You are really good at putting the blame on others. Who told you not to come back?"

"I'm back now. I have nothing to do right now. How about we go to the movies?"

Qi Yan smiled. She found herself very relaxed in front of him. The so-called strangeness did not exist. It was the same no matter how long they hadn’t seen each other.

While the other party was resting, she suggested going to the movies.

Du Shaojie had no objection and did not go back to ride his bike, but walked all the way to the Dongfeng Cinema.

The two of them watched a movie properly, bought some popcorn and two bottles of soda to take inside, and came out empty-handed, having finished eating and drinking.

As the lights came on, the two of them naturally walked hand in hand on the street.

"I heard that you actually gave up your chance to go to Beijing and chose to stay in Xijiang. Was it just for a house? Wouldn't it be better to be closer to me?"

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. After a long time, everyone knows what happened.

When Du Shaojie won the special prize in the competition, one of the benefits was that he could be transferred to work in Beijing, but he gave it up.

"Others may not know the situation at home, but you don't know it. If I leave, what will happen to my mom, Xiaomei, and Xiaoya? But it will be fine in the future. When Xiaomei and Xiaoya finish college and start working, I can go wherever I want."

"If I stay in Beijing after graduation, or go to another big city, will you come to find me?"

"Yes! My dream is to travel all over the country. I can find you no matter where you are."

"Humph! Not sincere at all."

Qi Yan is a celebrity in school, and even students from other schools have heard of her name.

She is not only beautiful, but also talented. Just kidding, she used to lead the propaganda team of the coal mine school and won awards everywhere.

Qi Yan is good at singing, dancing and hosting shows.

It is impossible for such a beauty to not be pursued, but for some reason, she just couldn't forget Du Shaojie, with whom she grew up.
