The first Mai Kee in Zhongzhou opened last year and caused a sensation in the city.
A year later, this Mai Kee is still bustling.
The children scrambled to take photos with the "Uncle Mak Kee" doll on the bench next to the door.
Some adults held up "point-and-shoot cameras" and clicked the shutter happily. From the situation outside the door, you can imagine how popular the store was.
Chen Hao knew that Mai Ji was very popular now, but it was beyond his expectation that it became so popular.
"Brother, Niuniu also wants to take pictures."
Niu Niu looked up at Chen Hao.
"Brother doesn't have a camera, so I can't take pictures of you." Chen Hao smiled bitterly.
"oh."
Niu Niu looked a little disappointed, but did not cry or make trouble.
Chen Hao said: "Let's go, brother will buy you a hamburger and a Coke."
"OK!"
Niuniu suddenly smiled like a flower and was extremely cute.
A foreigner couldn't help but raise his camera and take pictures of Niu Niu.
Chen Hao smiled at the foreigner and took Niu Niu into Maiji. The store was packed with people.
There are 800 seats on two floors, and there is not a single empty seat.
Thirty cashiers wearing little red hats stood behind the long cashier counter, and they were still busy.
Because there were too many people, Chen Hao was worried that Niu Niu would be squeezed down, so he picked up Niu Niu and queued up to order food.
Half an hour later, Chen Hao, holding a hamburger and Coke in one hand and holding Niuniu in the other, finally found a place to sit.
Niuniu climbed onto the chair by herself and sat opposite Chen Hao.
"Give."
Chen Hao smiled and handed the burger to Niu Niu.
"Thank you, brother."
Niu Niu was very polite, took the burger, started eating, and asked while eating: "Brother, have you ever eaten a hamburger before?"
"before......"
Chen Hao pondered, then nodded.
In his previous life, he ate a hamburger for the first time after graduating from college.
When he was in college, Mak Kee Ken Kee was too expensive for him as a poor student. The cost of a full meal was equivalent to half of his food expenses.
"Brother, do you think the burger is delicious?"
"tasty."
"Brother, after finishing your burger, can you take Niuniu to the amusement park?"
"Playground..."
Chen Hao looked at the little girl who was taking every step forward and couldn't laugh or cry.
If he didn't have the heart of a middle-aged uncle hidden under his eighteen-year-old appearance, he would probably be crushed by the little girl.
"Mom and dad said many times that they would take Niuniu to the amusement park, but they always failed to keep their promises." Niuniu pursed her lips at the end, feeling very sad.
"There must be a reason why mom and dad don't keep their word. Don't blame them." Chen Hao stretched out his hand to caress Niu Niu's hair and said, "After you finish the burger, my brother will take you home, okay?"
"good!"
Niuniu nodded.
"Do you know where home is?"
"On the mountains to the west, I live with my grandparents."
"The mountains to the west."
Chen Hao frowned and stared at Niu Niu.
The mountain to the west of Zhongzhou is also called Xishan.
Xishan is not a place where ordinary people live.
"Is there a phone at home?"
"There is...the number is..."
Niuniu said the phone number.
Chen Hao kept it in mind, not to mention whether Niu Niu's home was in Xishan, just the fact that she had a phone at home was enough to show that she was not a child of an ordinary family.
Installing a landline costs 3,000 yuan, and you have to rely on connections.
Ordinary people don't have this ability.
Relatively wealthy families would rather spend 3,000 yuan to buy a large 21-inch color TV than install a phone that is not very useful.
The sun sets in the west.
Chen Hao walked out of Mai Kee with Niu Niu in his arms, found a public phone nearby, called Niu Niu's family, and then sat on the curb to wait.
The little girl, who had eaten and drank enough, fell asleep in Chen Hao's arms.
Niuniu, who was asleep, was still holding Chen Hao's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Chen Hao would leave her.
The sky is getting dark.
Chen Hao glanced at the Mickey electronic watch Niuniu was wearing on his wrist. There was only one hour left before the train departed. If Niuniu's family didn't come, he would have to miss the train.
At this moment, a green jeep with military plates suddenly stopped on the side of the road.
All four doors of the Jeep opened at the same time.
"Niuniu!"
A woman got out of the car first and ran towards Chen Hao crying.
Chen Hao raised his eyes and looked at the woman. She seemed to be in her mid-thirties, not too outstanding in appearance, with an excellent body and temperament, and the look of a dancer.
Niuniu woke up, recognized the person, and cried: "Mom!"
Niu Niu's mother, Zhou Ting, held Niu Niu in her arms, crying and saying sorry.
At this moment, a young girl and two men in military uniforms came over.
There were two people wearing straight military uniforms, one was a captain with a gun at his waist, and the other was a commander.
"What a young handsome man!"
Chen Hao was secretly frightened, but the most eye-catching thing was the young girl.
The girl's face resembles that of a "fairy sister", her body and temperament are even better than Niu Niu's mother, and she can compare with most female stars without applying makeup.
Ninety-five percent beautiful, and all natural.
Chen Hao's heart was pounding.
The young girl covered her mouth and cried, her eyes red from crying.
"Auntie, don't cry, Niuniu doesn't blame you."
Niu Niu, who was hugging her mother's neck, turned to comfort the young girl.
"I am Niuniu's uncle, thank you very much." A powerful man in a straight military uniform stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Hao.
"You're welcome, I just did what I had to do."
Chen Hao is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Yesterday my little sister took Niu Niu shopping, and Niu Niu got lost. If it weren't for you, the consequences would have been disastrous. I must thank you." Niu Niu's uncle opened his handbag and took out a stack of money.
"I can't have it."
Chen Hao refused.
Niuniu's uncle Zhou Tiefeng was stunned for a moment. The stack of banknotes in his hand was worth at least three thousand yuan, but he was surprised that the boy in front of him was not moved at all.
"Are you from Toyokawa?"
Zhou Ting caught a glimpse of the words "Fengchuan No. 1 Middle School" on Chen Hao's school uniform and couldn't help but ask Chen Hao.
"I am a senior student from Fengchuan No. 1 Middle School, and I come to Zhongzhou for business."
Chen Hao answered truthfully.
"What's your name?"
Niuniu’s mother asked again.
"Chen Hao."
Chen Hao said his name and said with a smile: "I have to catch the train, so I'll leave first."
"Goodbye Niuniu, brother is gone."
Chen Hao said goodbye to the little girl.
"Brother, aren't you going home with Niu Niu?" Niu Niu was anxious.
When she was most frightened and helpless, it was Chen Hao who saved the girl. The girl already regarded Chen Hao as a relative and did not want to be separated from Shen Hao.
"Next time you come to Zhongzhou, my brother will take you to the amusement park."
Chen Hao smiled and comforted the little girl, then turned and left. He was not reluctant to leave because of Aunt Niu Niu's beauty, nor did he have any illusions because of Niu Niu's extraordinary family background.
It's not that he doesn't love beauties.
It's not that he doesn't want to associate with the powerful.
Only when you are strong enough can you attract the attention of beauties and attract the attention of powerful people. Just relying on the kindness of saving Niu Niu to try to follow a dragon and become a phoenix is nothing more than a fool's dream.
Chen Hao left, leaving very simply and freely.
"elder brother......"
Niu Niu burst into tears again, trying to break away from her mother's arms and chase Chen Hao.
"Dad is going to work in Fengchuan. Next week, mom will take you to see dad and see your brother. Now go home with mom, aunt and uncle, okay?"
Zhou Ting whispered in her daughter's ear.
Niuniu pursed her lips and nodded.
"This kid is quite interesting."
Zhou Tiefeng stared at Chen Hao's retreating back.
Niu Niu's aunt Zhou Qian carefully wiped the tears from Niu Niu's face without looking at Chen Hao.
At 7:30 in the evening, Chen Hao successfully boarded the express train heading south to Shanghai.
"Modu, I'm here."
Chen Hao looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the car window and couldn't help but murmured that if everything goes well on this trip, his and his parents' fate will completely change.
