The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

"No, don't you sometimes hand out flyers and so on, and after you make money, you bring me here to eat a lot?" Chen Jia laughed.

"That was only a few times, far less than you!" Lin Ming said.

"Tsk, you only know how to say these things, annoying!"

Chen Jia hit Lin Ming lightly, got out of his arms, then excitedly opened his arms and turned several circles on the spot.

"Although it's only September now, why do I feel like it's winter?"

"Lin Ming, do you remember that year when it snowed heavily, we sneaked out of the school, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only the pickled fish restaurant was still on, we went in for a nice meal, and when we returned to school, we were discovered by the dormitory aunt, and the school gave us a punishment the next day!"

"Of course I remember!"

Lin Ming looked at Chen Jia, his eyes full of tenderness.

"It was from that day that our classmates knew that we were together."

"Hahaha... It's so comfortable!"

Chen Jia pointed to the sign in the distance and shouted: "Look, the authentic Shao's pickled fish! It's still here!"

"It's not surprising here. The taste of this pickled fish is indeed very authentic." Lin Ming nodded.

As Chen Jia's husband, how could Lin Ming not know Chen Jia's little thoughts.

I'm afraid she had already "chosen a good spot" before coming here.

"I don't know if it's still the original boss."

Chen Jia said as she walked: "Lin Ming, do you still remember that boss? He is only a few years older than us. When we were still in school, he had already traveled all over the country to start a business."

"This boss is very kind and handsome. When we came to college, he said that he would soon marry his girlfriend. I guess after so many years, his children must be about ten years old." Lin Ming said.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the more you say that, the more I look forward to it!"

Chen Jia couldn't help it, and pulled Lin Ming to walk quickly towards the store.

The Mengsha River area has been continuously renovated in recent years, and high-rise buildings have sprung up around it, and the surrounding facilities are much newer than before.

The storefront is still the same storefront, and the location is still the same location.

However, the exterior walls and the interior decoration, as well as various lights, etc., are obviously different.

The two walked in and found that the store was busy.

The interior area of ​​the entire store has obviously expanded a lot, and there must be at least more than ten waiters.

Unlike when Lin Ming and Chen Jia came before, there were only five or six tables.

The weather outside was getting cooler, and the house was steaming.

The familiar smell drifted into the nose, and Lin Ming and Chen Jia's appetite was immediately whetted.

"It's this one! It's definitely this one!"

Chen Jia's eyes lit up with excitement: "Although so many years have passed, I can still remember that this is the taste we had back then!"

As she spoke, she tried to find a place to sit down.

But at this moment, the waiter came over from the front.

"I'm sorry, there's no place in the store for the time being. It will take about half an hour to an hour to eat. Can you two wait?"

Because Chen Jia and Lin Ming were wearing masks, they were covered very tightly, so it was difficult for the waiter to distinguish their appearance.

However, when they heard the waiter's words, they were immediately disappointed.

"There's no place..."

Chen Jia muttered: "It takes more than half an hour to wait, it's too long!"

"I'm so sorry, sister, there are only a few places in the store, it's really cramped." The waiter's attitude was very good.

"Forget it then."

Chen Jia's expectations turned into bubbles, and she turned around and planned to leave.

"Isn't there a place over there?" Lin Ming pointed to a corner and asked.

"Sir, that's the seat that the customer called to reserve at noon. They should be here soon." The waiter looked apologetic.

Lin Ming looked at Chen Jia: "How about we wait?"

"What are we waiting for? It's too long. We still need to... eh?"

Before Chen Jia finished speaking, her big eyes lit up.

Lin Ming followed her gaze and saw a man in his thirties, wearing the store's work clothes, with shiny hair, carrying a fish pot, and walked out of the back kitchen.

It was the boss back then - Shao Yang!

"Boss Shao!" Chen Jia subconsciously waved.

Shao Yang obviously heard it, but he was very busy. He just turned around and smiled politely at Chen Jia and Lin Ming, then left with the fish pot.

"He didn't recognize us. Could he have forgotten us?" Chen Jia muttered.

"Silly girl, you are wrapped up so tightly. Who can recognize you except your husband!"

Lin Ming tapped Chen Jia's forehead gently:"Based on my understanding of Mr. Shao, he definitely can't have forgotten us. We became friends back then. He didn't charge us for our meal and said we were one of his rare friends. How could he just ignore us in the blink of an eye?"

The two spoke loudly, and the waiter could have heard everything clearly.

She looked at Chen Jia and Lin Ming quietly, thinking, are they here to eat a free meal?

Or, are they two liars?

Or, are they here to have a meal tonight just to get close to the boss?

You're not sure if the boss can recognize you.

With such a relationship, you still have the nerve to eat here for free?

But...

Looking at the way they were dressed, they didn't seem like the kind of people who like to take advantage of others, did they?

And the other person's voice seemed familiar to the waiter, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Lin Ming and Chen Jia didn't leave.

Even if they couldn't have this meal today, they still wanted to reminisce with Shao Yang.

After a while, Shao Yang walked towards the kitchen at the door.

Lin Ming passed the waiter and stood in front of Shao Yang.

"Hey, look who I am?"

"This..."

Shao Yang was startled.

With the idea of ​​harmony, he still laughed dryly: "Who are you?"

Lin Ming took off his hat and mask, only a pair of narrow-framed glasses were still on his nose.

"Fuck! Little Linzi!"

Shao Yang's eyes widened, and he shouted Lin Ming's nickname directly.

This was created by Chen Jia, but was carried forward by Shao Yang.

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

Lin Ming made a gesture, and then showed a proud and happy look.

"I knew you couldn't forget us!"

"Damn, on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, videos about you and Chen Jia pop up every day, I can't forget them even if I want to!"

Shao Yang patted Lin Ming excitedly, and then stood there in a daze.

Then he said awkwardly: "Well... I'm talking to you like this, you won't be disgusted, right?"

"I think you have a serious illness!"

Lin Ming pretended to kick him, and Shao Yang quickly dodged with a big laugh.

As for the waiter at the door, he had already been frozen on the spot.

The moment Lin Ming took off his hat and mask, she already knew——

She had just thought too much!
