Yang's Restaurant is a two-story Chinese restaurant in Mong Kok, with a restaurant below and a resting place for the family above.
Yang Ruoxi's family of four lives here, one pair of parents and a younger brother who is still in high school.
When Yang Ruoxi appeared with a man, a middle-aged woman who looked very similar to her happened to come down from upstairs. When she saw Yang Ruoxi, she cursed her head and face: "Tell me honestly, have you offended anything outside?"
Dirty person?"
"How can I not! Maybe there was just a burglar in the house?"
You don't need to guess to know that this middle-aged woman is Yang Ruoxi's mother.
"Have you ever seen a thief who doesn't steal anything?" Yang's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter angrily.
"Well……"
Yang Ruoxi said that she had never seen it before!
"You really didn't lose anything?"
"No! Huh? Who is this boy?" Yang's mother looked at the strange man next to her daughter and asked with confusion.
Because something happened at home, the business was closed early this morning. There was not a single customer in the Chinese restaurant at the moment.
When Yang's mother started questioning her, Yang's father also walked downstairs.
Father Yang is a father who looks very old-fashioned, but in fact he is very kind to everyone.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but look over.
Yang Ruoxi quickly introduced: "You can just call him Dali. He will live here temporarily from now on."
"live here?"
Yang's mother and Yang's father both looked confused.
what's going on?
Is this the rhythm for future husbands to live together?
Mother Yang looked at the man cautiously, then pulled her daughter aside and asked in a low voice: "Stinky girl, what are you doing? Why are you bringing a strange man to live in your house?"
"Mom, I had no choice but to do this!" Yang Ruoxi smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Father Yang on the side also said: "Ruoxi, do you know his origins and let him live in our house like this?"
Father Yang also felt very unreliable about his daughter's decision.
He is a person with amnesia. How do I know his origin?
If it weren't for the fact that he helped this girl fight off two bad guys, and she needed him, a superman, to protect her own safety, the devil would have brought him home!
Yang Ruoxi felt a secret feeling in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, this guy is definitely a good person."
"Good guy?"
Yang's father and Yang's mother looked at each other and said to themselves, "My daughter, how did you see it?"
Then, Yang Ruoxi introduced the man's basic situation to the two elders and told them about the fact that he had saved her. However, she did not say anything about offending Crown Prince Lianshun, so as not to worry the two elders.
When they heard that this man had lost his memory, the two of them were very surprised, but of course they were also grateful.
But I am grateful, and Mama Yang has not lost her mind yet.
"If that's the case, then why don't you send him to the police station and bring him to us for what?" Yang's mother said.
"Mom, if I send him to the police station, he will probably be sent back to the mainland immediately. If you leave him as a person with no memory, what will he do when he gets there?" Yang Ruoxi said pitifully.
"Why are you worrying so much?" Yang's mother was a little confused. Didn't the two of them just know each other? Why would her daughter care so much about this man?
"Please, Mom, just let him live with us first, and then let him go after he recovers his memory!" Yang Ruoxi prayed.
She was thinking about her life safety.
"How about letting him stay temporarily? I believe my daughter must have her reasons for doing this." Yang's father said. Although he felt that this decision was a bit risky, Yang's father didn't seem to be a bad person when he looked at the man.
Not long ago, I helped my daughter.
As the saying goes, tit for tat, Father Yang is not the kind of unreasonable person.
"Dad still understands me best!" Yang Ruoxi said with a smile.
"Okay, but I don't have idle people here. The restaurant is still short of a helper at the moment. Are you willing?" After hearing that her husband had made a decision, Yang's mother knew that the matter was a certainty, so she looked at the man and said.
"Yes!" The man was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.
For this reason, Yang Ruoxi and her father were still very embarrassed, but the man didn't care at all.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle Ping, are you in there?"
"It's Aren here." As soon as Yang's father heard the voice, he immediately recognized who it was.
"Mom and Dad, Ah Ren is a policeman. Don't tell anyone about Dali's lack of ID card and visa! Just say that Dali came from the inland to join our relatives." Yang Ruoxi was afraid that her parents would spill the beans and reminded her.
road.
Both of them nodded.
Yang Ruoxi looked at the man again.
The man nodded immediately.
As soon as the voice came, the whole person slipped in from under the half-open rolling shutter door. It was an energetic boy with a crew cut and a burning expression on his face.
"So you are all here, hey, who is this?" Chen Jiaren looked at the man with a hint of hostility.
"Oh, he is my cousin from the mainland, you can just call him Dali." Yang Ruoxi quickly introduced.
When Chen Jiaren heard this, his hostility immediately disappeared and he said with a smile: "It turns out to be my cousin Dali. When we meet for the first time, just call me Aren."
Chen Jiaren had a natural and familiar expression, and did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
"By the way, Aren, you came here in such a hurry, what happened?" Father Yang asked.
Chen Jiaren patted his head and said, "I heard from Wu Shu that Uncle Ping's house was robbed, so I came over to take a look."
Wu Shu is the son of a shop owner who lives next to Yang's restaurant.
Yang Ruoxi and the others have grown up in this area since childhood, so they are all very familiar with it.
"Oh...it's nothing!" Father Yang smiled.
"Is there nothing lost at home? If something is lost, call the police immediately. I'll ask someone from the bureau to come over." Chen Jiaren looked concerned.
"It's not lost, it's just that the house was turned into a mess!" Yang's father said truthfully.
"That's really strange. A thief came in and didn't steal anything." Chen Jiaren looked like he really couldn't figure it out.
"That cousin Dali, did you just come to Xiangjiang today?" Seeing that Yang Ruoxi's family had not suffered any losses, Chen Jiaren quickly set his eyes on the man again.
"That's right! I went to pick it up in person. Why are you asking Dongwenxi?" Yang Ruoxi stared at Chen Jiaren in a straightforward tone.
Chen Jiaren said with a sigh: "Shouldn't I be concerned about it?"
Yang Ruoxi snorted.
Seeing that Yang Ruoxi was very disgusted, Chen Jiaren honestly stopped asking.
Instead, he said in a flattering way: "Since cousin Dali just came over today, why don't I treat everyone to a meal?"
"I think it's better to forget about eating. My house is just a restaurant, so I don't need you to treat me!" Yang Ruoxi didn't dare to let the man have more contact with Chen Jiaren, otherwise the clues would be seen.
Chen Jiaren was a little embarrassed.
However, Yang Ruoxi's parents couldn't stand it. They both knew that their daughter didn't like her, so there was nothing they could do about it.
So he could only smile and say: "Otherwise, Aren, you should go back first!"
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ruoxi's younger brother Yang Yang came back.
Seeing a stranger suddenly in the house, I was not used to it, but I didn't show too much rejection.
Yang Ruoxi told her brother what she told her parents again. Yang Yang was also surprised after hearing this, but he became very interested in this amnesiac elder brother.
Yang Yang's grades in the class are not very good, but he is very interested in some novel things.
As soon as I heard that the strange man in front of me was an amnesiac, I was instantly curious and wanted to dig out the secret behind this man.
So after eating and going to bed, when this nominally powerful cousin arranged to sleep in the same room with him, he showed no resistance.
Yang Yang's bed is a kind of bunk bed, with people sleeping on top and bottom. Because it has always been empty, there are some messy things piled up on the top bunk.
After clearing out the things on the upper bunk, the man spread a layer of bedding and sheets brought by Yang's father. After taking a bath, he lay on it comfortably. This was where he would live in the future.
"Brother Dali, are you really from the mainland?" Yang Yang asked curiously from under the bed.
"It should be!" the man said uncertainly.
"What's the inland like?" Yang Yang asked excitedly. Because he had never left Xiangjiang, his influence on the inland was still instilled by the older generation in the 1970s and 1980s.
After the new century, the inland has developed rapidly and is no longer what it used to be. Many people from Xiangjiang who came back from the inland lament that the motherland is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful. This also makes Yang Yang very much looking forward to it, hoping that he can also go to China one day.
Take a walk around the mainland.
"What does it look like?" The man couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't even remember himself, so how could he remember this.
In the morning, the man was awakened by a nightmare.
In the dream, he was shot in the head and fell into the river. Because the scene was so real, when the man sat up, there was a trace of cold sweat on his back.
After being frightened awake by the nightmare, the man couldn't sleep anymore. He took a cold shower, then sat by the window and thought quietly about what he should do after arriving in Xiangjiang, or how to retrieve his memory.
Unfortunately, after thinking for an hour, he couldn't come up with a reason. It wasn't until Yang Yang woke up and saw his cousin Dali sitting by the window early in the morning that he asked curiously: "Cousin Dali, why did you get up so early?"
?”
Cousin Dali smiled and said: "I usually get up very early!"
"Oh!" Yang Yang rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and got up from the bed, and slowly walked into the bathroom.
