Middle-aged Love Patch - Chapter 116
The Zaodian stall lasted for half a year. This piece of land was bought by the developer to build a large shopping mall. Naturally, their Zaodian stall had nowhere to stay.
However, the stall itself was rented. In just six months, they had already made money back, and saved a small amount of money.
Shi Yue and Xu Youyi discussed that they wanted to open a small restaurant selling rice bowls for lunch in a better location.
“You are addicted to cooking.”
“Really, catering is really addictive.” Shi Yue said enthusiastically, “My goal now is to open a restaurant and become the top three in the city! Then I will open a chain if I have a chance, if I don’t have a chance Don’t force it. Just make a living.”
“This mentality is okay.”
“That’s, as Uncle said, smile, think about the universe!”
Say Xu Yishu, Xu Yishu appears.
But what appeared was not the real Xu Yishu, but the Xu Yishu who was grabbed from Xu Youyu’s mind and used to make trouble in the game.
“I heard that you have made a lot of money and are ready to open a shop.”
One night when Shiyue chose the address of the new store, Xu Yishu appeared drunkly at their door with an unpleasant smell of alcohol.
Xu Youyuan got angry when he saw him like this.
Whether in reality or in the game, the appearance of Xu Yishu drunk is what she hates most. On the other hand, the secret room is quite cheap, and the virtual Xu Yishu is basically exactly the same as her image with the most annoying memory.
Wanting to violently drive him away, Shi Yue came up to make the rounds, and temporarily persuaded Xu Youyu to come back to comfort her:
“It seems that you really hate Uncle Drunkard, but if you bother you, you have to calm down, don’t really be angry with him. Have you seen the character’s profile video? Uncle Drunkard has fought with you countless times, it’s true It’s difficult. Besides, Uncle Drunkard has nothing right now, but the better we get through our childhood. He is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. What if he turns around and squats in front of our house all the time? The unfortunate one is us.”
Xu Youyuan knew that Shi Yue was right: “But you can’t condone his nonsense. He comes to ask for money. You gave it to him this time, and he will come back to the door again after he spends it. Then how will he deal with it? “
Xiao Ming poked his head out of his bedroom with some fear and asked, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
“It’s okay, you can go in and do your homework.” Xu Youyuan coaxed her into it, and when she came out she found that Shi Yue had already given money to the alcoholic Lao Xu.
Old Xu smiled, glanced at Xu Youyuan, and left triumphantly.
“How can you really give him money? He will definitely come back again after he gets the sweetness!”
“It’s okay.” Shi Yue soothed her, “Relax, if he comes back, I can do it.”
Xu Youyuan wondered: “Really? What can you do?”
“Have you watched the profile video about my role?”
“I saw it.” Xu Youyuan was happy when it came to this. “I didn’t expect your parents and your sister to have this image in your heart. Look at what the system arranges them into.”
“I can’t really blame me for this.”
“Who is to blame.”
“The blame system is too real to lie. By the way, it’s my mother’s birthday today, so let’s take something to see my parents together.”
Thinking of seeing Shiye in this world, Xu Youyuan said that it takes a little time to prepare: “Don’t burst into laughter when you meet and be bombarded by your family.”
Even though Xu Youyuan had prepared powerful mental equipment, but when she saw Shiye with drooling eyes and stagnant eyes, she still didn’t hold on to it for a second. He said hello and raised his voice to the sky in the middle of the question, and immediately turned his head. , Holding his voice, laughed wildly.
“Xiaoyue, Yuyuan, come, eat, eat.” Shiyue’s parents also appeared, with the same expressions and the same way of speaking as Shiye, Xu Youyu finally calmed down, and almost smiled when she saw the old man. .
“Ah…Um!” Shi Yue reminded Xu Youyuan with his voice and eyes, “Calm down, you said you didn’t even greet your in-laws and sisters, just laugh.”
While he was talking, Shiye saw that his collar was covered with saliva, so he brought a bowl over and continued it steadily.
Shi Yue looked at her sister, and her sister also looked at her. In the end, Shi Yue also died, and she collapsed on the sofa with Xu Youyuan and laughed, making her face flushed with laughter.
Xu Youyuan really didn’t understand where Shi Yue was the peerless little bastard. Even if she listens to her at the time, she can’t think of her parents and sisters as fools, right?
And it’s quite deep. If it weren’t for this game, Xu Youyuan would never have known that Shi Yue thought so.
“Don’t tell me, don’t tell my parents and my sister…” Shi Yue laughed until her abdomen hurts, and gave Xu Youyuan a sigh of relief between laughter.
Xu Youyuan just came back a little bit, and she made a lot of laughter when she said such a sentence, her face flushed with laughter, and her tears kept running out.
Shi’s parents and Shi Ye looked at the young couple on the sofa incomprehensibly, not understanding what they were laughing at.
The neighbors who passed by their house heard the laughter inside and couldn’t help but sighed and shook their heads: “Hey, Shi’s family are all poor people. There was only one youngest daughter who was a normal person, but now the youngest one, together with his daughter-in-law, is also crazy. , What a pity, what a pity.”
Sure enough, after getting some sweetness, the drunkard old Xu quickly returned to their home.
This time it was even more excessive, not only asking for money, but also wanting to live directly.
“I also want to get close to my granddaughter, right, Xiao Ming.”
Old Xu Dali sat on the sofa in the living room and smiled at Xiaoming who was standing in the corner. Halfway through his laughter, he burped a lot of alcohol, so he couldn’t open his eyes, and immediately ran back to his house.
Obviously Lao Xu did it intentionally. He knew what his daughter was most afraid of, and all he wanted was money.
Raising tons of wine bottles was a few big mouthfuls, and Old Xu wanted to see how much his daughter would get out, only to find that Xu Youyuan hadn’t moved.
“If you don’t want money, you can’t live here.” Xu Youyuan said calmly.
Old Xu: “What do you mean? You have money to open a shop, but don’t have money to support your father?”
Xu Youyuan sighed: “It’s really not that I don’t want to raise you, I’m taking care of your life.”
Old Xu: “Huh?” I don’t understand what she means at all.
While he was puzzled, he heard a “clang” sound from the kitchen, which was the sound of a kitchen knife being unsheathed.
Hearing this movement, Xu Youyuan’s expression immediately changed, and Old Xu was also a little nervous: “What, what’s going on?”
The kitchen door was kicked open vigorously, and with a loud noise, Lao Xu slid directly to the ground.
A few rays of light were cast from the kitchen into the dim, windowless living room. There was a person standing at the light source, with messy hair and two kitchen knives in his hands. Old Xu glanced in shock. Isn’t this the hapless son-in-law?
“New Year’s Day! Eat meat!” Shi Yue picked up a knife and chopped at Lao Xu. Without hesitation, two kitchen knives slashed directly beside Lao Xu.
Old Xu yelled and scrambled to escape. He kicked his legs on the ground and pointed to Shi Yue: “What year has passed! And I’m not a pig! What’s wrong with her? Ah? She’s crazy. Up?!”
Xu Youyuan reluctantly hugged Shiyue from behind, embarrassed: “Dad, don’t you know that Xiaoyue’s family is not very good at brains, where can Xiaoyue be better? But it doesn’t matter, the doctor said. She has an intermittent seizure, which is related to the season and climate, not every day! If you really live here, lock the door, and be careful not to look at her when you enter and exit. Hey, forget Xiaoyue! Forget it! Don’t cut the old man! The old man is so thin, dirty, smelly, and not tasty.”
Old Xu: “…”
As he was talking, panting Shi Yue suddenly raised his head, just in time to meet Lao Xu’s gaze.
Realizing that Shi Yue was about to have a seizure, Old Xu ran away.
“Dad, dad! You slow down, the road is slippery outside!”
Lao Xu ran out of the station and Xu Youyuan also asked him at the window.
“Are you going?” Shi Yue put the kitchen knife back into the kitchen.
“Go! Shi Yue, this trick is too cool!”
“Of course, desperate people are always at the top of the food chain. Hey, help me get the alcohol in the cabinet.”
Hearing “alcohol”, Xu Youyuan felt a twitch, and immediately ran to the kitchen to take a look. Shi Yue was really injured, with blood in his hands.
“It’s okay.” Shi Yue said, “Look at your expression. It’s okay. The acting was so realistic just now and I made a small cut. Just put a band-aid on the alcohol-killing post.”
Xu Youyuan came up to check the wound. It was indeed a skin trauma, but the **** mouth was scary enough.
Seeing Xu Youyuan’s distressed expression on Shi Yue’s very real expression, she didn’t feel the pain at all, and even laughed.
“You’re still laughing. I won’t do this kind of drama next time. This time I hurt my hand. If I accidentally hurt another place, what should I do if the injury is worse? It’s too dangerous.” Xu Youyuan Pulling Shiyue to sit on the sofa, carefully disinfect and bandage her.
“It’s just a small matter, don’t take it to heart. Knowing that you love me.” Shi Yue’s uninjured right hand passed through the long hair that fell on Xu Youyu’s face, and pinched her ear.
Xu Youyuan’s ears are particularly sensitive, and when she touches it, she feels her body starts to heat up and changes.
But she didn’t avoid it.
The wife and wife who have been busy with their livelihoods do not live in bed too often. After all, they have to maintain their physical strength, but they are definitely not indifferent.
No matter how busy they are, they will engage in intimate behavior once a week, shutting off everything outside, and even their small lives will be blocked outside the room, immersed in the two-person world that belongs to them only.
In this world, Xu Youyuan feels that she belongs to Shiyue completely, and only Shiyue can lead her to the happiest and happiest place… This is a feeling that she has never had before.
The long game gives Shiyue plenty of time to hone his skills. People who are in happiness, even if they get older, their enthusiasm for life will not die.
Love nourishes all the dryness brought about by the years.
Shi Yue’s own young and healthy body helps her in the game to maintain a good state. Even if Xu Youyu doesn’t say anything, she can learn from all of Xu Youyi’s physical feedback that this is another game that Xu Youyi likes. And deeply indulge in the intimate communication among them.
…
The business of a small restaurant is a bit different from that of a breakfast stall.
Earlier stalls could form a monopoly and easily lie down to make money, because Shi Yue found a good location, and their family sold them early. Now that small restaurants are opened for real catering, the competition is naturally stronger.
The taste of Shiyue’s cooking has nothing to say. Customers who have eaten it are full of praise, but there is no direct ratio between repeat customers and word of mouth.
Xu Youyuan analyzed with her that ordinary office workers don’t care whether the food is delicious or not. If they say that it is delicious, it is better to eat, but in general, just fill your stomach.
If you choose between really delicious and cheap, most of them will tend to be cheap.
“Because all the ingredients in our store pursue quality and freshness, we will never mix in spoiled and inferior food. The cost is high, and the price will rise accordingly. We can only sell for 25 yuan at least, but other cheap ingredients Merchants can squeeze it down to 15 yuan. In comparison, we seem to be outrageously expensive.”
Shi Yue was unhappy: “I am not afraid of eating bad pork with a large package of 10 yuan.”
“For those who earn less than 10,000 yuan a month, I’m really not afraid. Because everyone knows that even profit-seeking businesses don’t dare to sell things that will really eat people. At most they are synthetic products that are not very nutritious. There is not much difference in taste, and some are even more addictive due to unhealthy oils and additives.” Xu Youyuan said, “When I don’t have money, I also order cheap and popular takeaways. You know this. Kind of psychology?”
Shi Yue thought for a while: “Understood, it’s not us in the game a few years ago. This level is quite magical.” She looked around and saw this home that was transformed by them and became more and more comfortable.” Sometimes I think this is more than just a game. We have lived here for many years, and this is our home.”
Xu Youyuan sat cross-legged across from her and smiled: “Yes, this is also our home. We have experienced many things together in this small house, and we have to bear the responsibility and advance and retreat together. Who can say that this does not belong to us.”
Of course, Shi Yue understands that it is because she wants to make this home better and better, that she works hard and tries her best to open the store longer.
If it doesn’t work, then rent a small stall as a transitional period.
“In any case, I will never lower the quality!” Shi Yue said, “This is my last pursuit in this game.”
“Yes, of course!” Xu Youyuan said, “I support you 100%!”
Xiao Ming showed a small head from behind the door, and said in Xu Youyuan’s tone: “Mom, I also support you 100%!”
Shi Yue looked at them and couldn’t help but raised their mouths.
This feeling is very similar to the mood when NCOUNT was first established, but it is a bit different.
When I established NCOUNT, I was very energetic, but now I have a sense of excitement and energy in my heart, but there is a lot of softness and confidence.
This is from Xu Youyuan, the confidence given to her by the family.
She likes this home and every day she spends with Xu Youyi.
Shiyue has determined the direction. The restaurant will never give up even if the business is not good. She is slowly transforming from fast food. She believes that the market will see her.
Before the success, the breakfast time is also open, selling early.
Steamed bun pancakes, soy milk, tea eggs, they sell whatever they like. In addition to pursuing your own ideals, filling your stomach is also a top priority.
The classic breakfast will never go out of style, and there is not much difference in material. If it tastes better, it will definitely attract more customers.
Xu Youyuan wakes up very early every morning. When she went to the store to help, it was still dark. When she finished making the buns, she got up and went to boil soy milk and tea eggs. When the scent is cooked, Xu Youyuan should send the child to school. When she came back from school, it was the busiest time in the store, and they ran them together.
Tired, but this is their life.
The breakfast was very busy and brought some traffic to the lunch. The small restaurant opened tepidly, and could not make a lot of money, but life was maintained.
As the days passed, Xu Youyuan got up one morning and found that she was old when she looked in the mirror.
With wrinkles and gray hair, her appearance is no longer the “middle-aged” in self-deprecating, but really old.
When the game started, she was 38 years old, Xiaoming was 3 years old, the age of fortune-telling, she was 14 years old in the second grade of junior high school, and Xu Youyuan was 11 years old.
49 years old, this is the age she has heard of, but has not actually been exposed to.
In the game, she ran for life all day long, and she ran a business that was greedy for the dark in the morning, and paid little attention to maintenance. Now she looks a bit older than her actual age.
Last year, she had menopause, and the aunt who had troubled her for most of her life finally never bothered her again, but her aging rate has also become faster than ever.
Let’s look at Shi Yue, who is 9 years younger than her. Although she is not merciful, she has also carved a mark on her body, but she is still in a good state when she is just 40 years old.
“Do you see any difference in me?”
Xu Youyuan asked Shi Yue.
Shi Yue looked at her and said, “I’m getting old.”
Xu Youyuan already knows her routine very well: “I know you will say that, and you will not tell lies at all.”
“I will. I only tell meaningful lie. It’s boring to be dismantled by the hypocrisy, right? And I don’t think there is any problem with you all the time. We are all getting old. You can still be you. “Shiyue looked at Xu Youyuan’s face very seriously, “This simulated old state is quite useful for reference. Let me take a closer look. Will you grow like this when you are really old? It’s pretty good. Yes, it’s very charming.”
“You just changed your routine to coax me.”
“As long as it makes you happy, the routine changes every day.”
Xu Youyuan was happy: “Hey, why did we go so smoothly this time? Is it really because of a relaxed mentality?”
“It’s possible. If you have a good mentality, you will naturally have good luck.”
“You are quite optimistic.” Xu Youyuan said, “It is still four years away from 15 years. Do you think there will be any difficulties?”
“Birth, old age, sickness and death, are these the biggest hurdles in life?”
“I feel a little bit chilly when you say that.”
“Don’t be afraid.” Shi Yue smiled with a young soul, “I am in everything.”
In the first few years of life, there will be difficulties that no one will be able to foresee.
Xu Youyuan once felt that this was the way she was in her life. She created and reshaped the universe with one hand, and then constantly polished it, guarded it, and watched it slowly grow and become perfect. This is the only thing Xu You doing in this life. Kite is content.
But at the age of 34, her life has changed drastically.
In the game, the 49-year-old also suffered a change.
Xiao Ming died after all, and the special medicine prolonged her life, but failed to really keep her.
Before her death, Xu Youyuan was very unwilling to give up, even Shi Yue was secretly wiping her tears, but Xiao Ming was stronger than both of them:
“Don’t cry. Didn’t the doctor say that I won’t live to be 10 years old at all? Didn’t I also steal 4 years to come back? Tell you, I am not afraid at all.” My life was weak and smiled from the bottom of my heart, “You Treat me so well, do your best to give me the best life, some people may not be as happy as I am at 7 or 80 years old, really… I don’t have any regrets, neither do you. Continue happily If we continue to live, if possible, we will be a family in the next life, okay?”
Xiao Ming’s death did not cause any estrangement between Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue, but instead pulled their hearts closer.
Thinking of Xiao Ming, the two of them would cook a delicious meal together when their hearts were empty. Xu Youyuan felt that her cooking had improved a lot, and even Shi Yue praised her sincerely.
“Why do I feel that every time I cook together, I feel better?” Xu Youyuan held the chopsticks, “Is this the power of food?”
Shi Yue didn’t know what was thinking, so he laughed secretly.
“I have heard your laugh at me.” Xu Youyuan leaned at her.
“I’m wrong, I didn’t say anything.”
“Don’t you laugh loud enough?”
Shi Yue: “Hey? That’s right.”
Xu Youyuan kicked her directly and kicked her back with a “click”, causing her entire face to be distorted in pain.
Shi Yue hurriedly came up to help her: “What’s the matter with you? How old are you doing such difficult moves! Quick! I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“What kind of hospital to go to? Just press it for me…”
“Don’t care too much. Even if there are only four years left, we are still in danger. After all, the condition for customs clearance is to maintain a heartbeat index above 50 points and survive smoothly! If we hang up in 4 years, so is It’s a failure.”
Shi Yue’s words made Xu Youyu wake up in an instant: “There is still such a thing! That won’t work, we have to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination! Early detection and early treatment, don’t worry about the money, we must survive these 4 years!”
Unexpectedly, when I went to the physical examination, I found a terrifying problem.
The problem is not with Xu Youyi, but with Shi Yue.
“Lymphoma?”
Xu Youyuan was like a bolt from the blue: “How is it possible? You… You never said where you are uncomfortable, why did you get lymphoma after a checkup?”
Shi Yue was also a little dazed, thinking about it a bit, “Ang”, and pointed to his neck: “It was a bit uncomfortable before, here. I don’t care too much when I get busy at work, thinking it’s just a little problem when I get older. “
“You… how can you not care about your body?” Xu Youyuan was so anxious that her tears fell, and seeing her heart rate drop down, Shi Yue pitifully pulled the corner of her clothes and said:
“Stop scolding me, I’m all sick.”
Xu Youyuan felt uncomfortable and wiped away the tears: “How could I scold you, I’m just…just sad.”
Xu Youyuan still didn’t give up and asked the doctor Shi Yue about the specific situation and how long was left.
The result is 8 months.
Only 8 months…
The doctor was gone, and Xu Youyuan stood in the corridor of people coming and going without saying a word.
Shi Yue stepped up to pat her and sighed: “I thought I could pass the level smoothly this time, but I didn’t expect it… It’s really strange. What should I do to pass the level? Even if I have a high IQ, there is no need to make it difficult to hell. It’s not Hell Difficulty, it’s Hell’s Original Hell…”
Before Shi Yue finished speaking, Xu Youyuan suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly. The movements were so great that she almost hit Shi Yue and sat on the ground.
Xu Youyuan’s back undulated violently, and she cried silently in Shi Yue’s arms.
Shi Yue stroked her back, knowing that Xu Youyuan liked this soothing action the most.
They are really like partners who have been together for 11 years and have reached the end of life together.
Her real happiness is already very good, at least the doctor announced that she only had 8 months, but she lived for more than 3 years.
With only two months left before the final time of the game, Shi Yue finally couldn’t hold back and fell.
Her physical condition has deteriorated to the extreme, and all her money has been spent after several operations. The shop is sold and the house is mortgaged. Xu Youyuan takes care of her day and night, never crying tired, she is doing all the things that a wife should do.
“Don’t do this…” Shi Yue lay groggy on the hospital bed, “If even the house is mortgaged and it is still not available, where will you live in the future?”
Xu Youyuan knew that she was already a little confused. This is a game. If the character of Shi Yue dies, the game will fail. Xu Youyuan will leave the game and of course will not continue to live in the game.
But if it is really just a game, why is Xu Youyuan so sad? Do everything you want to save Shiyue?
“Don’t cry.” Shi Yue said, “Even if you haven’t entered the stage of the dark box competition, there are other ways to buy an account at Caps… With your current strength, it is only time to cultivate a top-quality account that reshapes the universe by yourself. Question. If you want, I can… send you directly… as long as you are willing to accept…”
“Stop talking.” Xu Youyuan said, “You take a break.”
In fact, it has nothing to do with the game for a long time. What Xu Youyuan is sad is not that she might fail in the last pass, but that the person who has been with her for many years in this game is about to leave.
Shi Yue said: “In fact, I think this scene is quite interesting. Even if one day I really lose everything in reality and become an ordinary person, as long as you are by my side, every ordinary day will be so happy…I think I feel fearless. No matter whether we are poor or rich, health or disease, we will never leave. Xu Youyuan, we actually did it…
“Xu Youyuan, my time is running out. I only have one last wish left. Even in the game, for so many years…you haven’t said that sentence.”
Shi Yue took Xu Youyuan’s hand and asked her,
“Do you love me?”
Looking at the longing in her deeply sunken eyes, Xu Youyuan’s heart turned over with fierce resentment and love.
She held Shiyue’s hand tightly, put the back of her hand against her forehead, and nodded vigorously. As the tears rolled down, Xu Youyuan said:
“I love you, I love you very much.”
