The fragrance of ramen wafted from the cart, and my aunt told the ramen chef that the ramen stall was shabby, but she didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Because what she said is true. Compared with the impressive Michelin-starred restaurant last time, this ramen stall seems too down-to-earth, and the ramen chef is Japanese. Lu Mingfei also said that he ramend here for 60 years.
We have met each other for many years. For an old man who has lived in Japanese alleys all his life, it is natural for my aunt to think that he cannot speak Chinese. After all, Uesugoshi and Lu Mingfei just communicated in Japanese.
"I'm really sorry for letting you come to such a shabby stall to eat noodles, but I have wasted more than sixty years, and making ramen is the only thing I am good at." An old voice floated faintly, "Oh, by the way,
My guests sometimes praise my beef and eggs for being well braised, but other than that, I don’t have anything to entertain you, I’m really sorry.”
The aunt turned her head dully, and just met the ramen chef's serious face. A stream of cold air came out from the back of her neck. She said in a daze: "Just now... was you talking?"
"There are only a few of us in this ramen stall. You all know each other. This voice is not mine. Could it be a ghost..." Uesugi said to his aunt speaking proficient Chinese.
The aunt was really frightened. Such an old Japanese man suddenly spoke fluent Chinese and looked at her with a faint and resentful look, just like a cuckold man looking at his cheating wife... The aunt suddenly remembered what she had just said.
She often spoke ill of this ramen stall and the ramen chef. She thought the other party didn't understand Chinese. Doesn't it seem like he knew everything?
"Master, you know Chinese, why didn't you tell me earlier." Auntie smiled awkwardly. She looked at the brightly colored ramen with soy sauce and changed the subject, "This ramen is very delicious at first glance. Authentic Japanese ramen, Narusawa
You try it quickly."
Auntie smiled coquettishly. She had never had the experience of speaking ill of people in person, but those were people who had offended her or whom she really disliked. The ramen master cooked noodles for them without saying a word or causing any trouble.
However, their aunt and Lu Mingze were talking behind their backs like this. Even the aunt who had always been overbearing and cunning could not help but feel a little guilty at this time.
"Mingfei, you just said that the little girl's family is coming. When will they come and how many people will come?" The uncle turned to Lu Mingfei and asked, "You, too, Mingfei, don't do it in advance for such a big event.
Just tell me, let’s forget it if we meet at the ramen stall, my uncle and aunt are not dressed more formally.”
"No, no, no, Hui Liyi's family doesn't value these things very much." Lu Mingfei said, "But you have already met."
"Ah? We met? What do you mean?" The uncle put his head out of the ramen stall and looked around, "The little girl's family has arrived? Why didn't I see it? Could it be that those people who were selling insurance to us on the street just now are
The little girl’s family?”
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, because Uesugoshi just happened to place the last bowl of ramen in front of Eri at this moment. That bowl of ramen was probably the strongest bowl of noodles. Even the beef was doubled, and it was almost full.
Pile up the rim of the bowl.
"Thank you, dad." Eriki said softly.
With just four words, a smile suddenly appeared on Uesugoshi's originally boring and rigid face, like an old tree in spring, so bright that it almost bloomed into a flower.
Uesugoshi stretched out a hand, and gently touched Eri's head with his calloused palm... Uesugoshi didn't even dare to put his hand on Eri's head. He made a gesture of stroking her head, but in fact it was just
His fingertips touched Eri Yi's long hair, and then he carefully retracted his hand. In this short period of time, the old man's heartbeat accelerated several times.
Uesugoshi secretly decided that he would not wash this hand for at least a week.
Both uncle and aunt were stunned. They looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They could see confusion, surprise and bewilderment in each other's eyes.
dad?
Did you hear it right this time? This title was indeed shouted from the mouth of the little girl named Eriki, and the person she called daddy was the ramen chef who served her ramen... Even if they heard it wrong at the same time
, the ramen master’s movements shouldn’t dazzle them, right?
Even Lu Mingze was frightened. He looked at Eryi, then at his cousin, and finally at the ramen master. At this moment, he wanted to jump up and slap himself in the mouth!
"Did the little girl just call... daddy?" Auntie asked cautiously, "She called this ramen chef. We didn't hear wrong, right?"
"You heard that right." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
"So Ming... Mingfei, the little girl's family you just mentioned is the ramen chef?" The uncle also glanced at Uesugoshi, "So you said we have met? Why didn't you tell your uncle earlier?
Uncle De didn’t greet people properly."
The uncle quickly stopped eating noodles, put his chopsticks on the noodle bowl, stood up, hurriedly wiped his hands with the corner of his shirt, and stretched out his hand in the direction of Uesugoshi.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mingfei didn't tell us in advance that you were a member of the little girl's family. He brought us to this ramen stall and didn't say anything to us." The uncle said apologetically, "My name is
Lu Gucheng, Lu Mingfei’s uncle, is the younger brother of Lu Mingfei’s father.”
"Uesugi Koshi, you can call me Master Koshi." Uesugi Koshi also extended his hand to his uncle and shook it in a friendly way... Of course, it was not the hand that touched Eri's head.
"Then how can you call me Master Yue? That's too disrespectful. We have taught Mingfei to be polite when dealing with others since childhood." Uncle rushed to Uesugi and said, "Your surname is Uesugi, right? I'll just call you Mr. Uesugi."
Sample?"
"Okay." Uesugoshi nodded, his attitude was not bad but not good either.
It is extremely rare for this man who once dominated the Japanese underworld to have such an attitude towards the family of a brat who is about to abduct his daughter.
"Hey, Mom, do you think he is really Hui Liyi's father?" Lu Mingze leaned close to his aunt and lowered his voice very low, "This old master looks so old, he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old.
Right, and my cousin said that he has been selling ramen here for more than sixty years. Even if he started selling ramen at the age of sixteen, he should be eighty years old this year, right? How old is Kee Riyi, no more than two years old?
Fifteen years old! So he only gave birth to Eri when he was fifty-five? Is this possible? A normal man would no longer be able to have children at the age of fifty-five!"
This was one of the few times Lu Mingze was smart. He knew quite a bit about how long it took for a man to become infertile...
"Yes, Narusawa, I feel strange too." Auntie nodded in agreement and whispered in a suspicious tone, "And isn't this little girl from a wealthy family? When we ate at that Michelin restaurant before,
, the chef and manager both treated her respectfully, as if it was her canteen. How could her father be a ramen stall chef? From what I saw, the price he marked for this ramen, it would be enough to sell it for a month at best.
It’s only enough to go to someone else’s place to spend money once.”
The uncle didn't notice that ordinary people couldn't hear the exchange between aunt and Lu Mingze, but Lu Mingfei heard it clearly. Lu Mingfei sighed slowly... He could hear this clearly.
How could the words be hidden from Uesugi Koshi and Eriko, who have keen hearing?
But fortunately, Uesugi Yue only glanced at his aunt and Lu Mingze, and did not get angry on the spot. Master Yue, who has seen the world, must have dealt with all kinds of people over the years. He heard some harsh words from powerful forces.
There were too many, and he could completely turn a deaf ear to the middle-aged women and children... And as the elder, he could teach them a lesson at will, but he had to give Lu Mingfei's family face, not to mention
Now it's still in front of Eri Yi.
There was no way to explain to ordinary people that Eriko was cultivated by Herzog using Uesugoshi's blood sample, so Uesugoshi didn't care about her aunt and the others... But a voice sounded unexpectedly.
"It's my dad." Eliyi suddenly said to her aunt and Lu Mingze, the expression on her face was more serious than ever before, "Although I have been separated from my dad for many years, I know that he is my dad, and my dad is very caring to me.
good."
Auntie and Lu Mingze looked at Eri Yi blankly. Of course they could not guess that there was a super hybrid creature in the world with super hearing, but they realized that their whispers were heard by Eri Yi.
Both of them had expressions of embarrassment and apology on their faces.
Uesugoshi's body trembled suddenly, and he didn't think it was a big deal no matter how much he was discussed and slandered by his aunt and Lu Mingze, but a few words from Eri Yi caused the strong psychological defense of this old man who had been strong all his life to completely collapse.
"Eri..." Uesugoshi's eyes instantly became moist, and he murmured his daughter's name.
Uesugoshi didn't expect that Eriko would say such a thing. In front of outsiders, Eriko not only admitted his father's identity openly, but also used such a protective and even partial tone, just like
A stream of sweet water poured into Uesugoshi's heart, which was so old that it was almost dry. If it were not in front of outsiders, he would even burst into tears.
"Oh oh oh, I understand, I understand. The little girl said that she and her father have been separated for many years, and she must have been fostered in other people's homes before, right?" The uncle gave a high-five, "I just recently got to know Mr. Uesugi, right? If that's the case
If so, then both Mr. Uesugi and the little girl have a rough life experience!"
The uncle is also smart, and the situation is probably what he said. Aunt and Lu Mingze also showed expressions of realization. In this way, one of the biggest doubts in their minds was solved, which was why Eriyi was dressed in a dress or in a temperament.
Hanyang looks like a young lady from a wealthy family, but her real father is an ordinary ramen chef... If the ramen chef is her biological father, and Eriki is a child fostered by a wealthy family
That makes sense.
Some adults from wealthy families were busy with their careers when they were young, and have no remaining ability when they are old, so they will take over some children from poor families who are unable to raise children, raise them in their own homes, and raise them as direct descendants. Generally speaking,
Such children have usually severed ties with their original parents because they were taken away when they were very young, so they have almost no memory of their original family, and they have no chance or permission to recognize their original parents.
It’s no wonder that the little girl looked so sick before that she couldn’t speak. How healthy can a child born to a ramen master in his fifties be? Fortunately, the poor child did not live a hard life with his biological father and was adopted.
It would be her fate to live in a wealthy family.
So it’s no wonder that during the previous dinner party, my nephew and the little girl were chased before they finished eating. At that time, the little girl’s family must have come to the door and wanted to take the little girl home, right?
This seems to be the case for Eriko and Uesugoshi now. The aunt looked at Eriko and then at Uesugoshi. She felt that all secrets could not escape the wisdom of housewives. Finally, the aunt looked at her nephew.
.
"It turns out they are really father and daughter. No wonder Mingfei brought us to this ramen stall." Auntie nodded, and she asked Lu Mingfei cryptically, "I told you, Mingfei, today we are only meeting with the master chef, right? I
What you mean is that the rest of the little girl’s family also agrees with your matter, right?”
My aunt is afraid that Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi only made a private life decision with the consent of Uesugoshi, and Eri Yi's other "family members" don't know yet... Although she has little to do with who her nephew is good with, but how can I say it?
Lu Mingfei's parents entrusted their son to their care. If Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini return to China in a few years and see that their son is married, they may blame their own family for not taking good care of their son. This is called Hui
The little girl in Li Yi seems to be quite quiet and polite, and good-looking... Even though the family situation is too complicated.
"Others?" Lu Mingfei thought for a while, "Eliyi does have two older brothers, but they have something to do today and won't be able to come. I just want my uncle, aunt, and Eliyi's father to meet. Eliyi
She can make the decision on her own. My parents are not around, so you are my elders."
"Yes, it's because your parents are not around, so you have to be careful. Uncle and aunt are responsible for you." Aunt pulled Lu Mingfei aside and said to him seriously, "Aunt is saying, little girl
What about the other family members, the people in the family where she lived before? Do they really agree with Lu Mingfei and you two?"
"Those people... their opinions shouldn't matter." Lu Mingfei's mind flashed through the heads of the Sheqiba family, and he subconsciously said, "I'm not marrying them."
"Mingfei, you can't say that. Japanese people have very strong family values, and they are most taboo about these things." The aunt was a little anxious, "And the little girl's family should be some big shots!"
