“I don’t know what your mother does, so I can’t guarantee anything.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then answered,””But I’ll try my best to help you ask, Lele, what do you think?”

“We need to find out more about the specific situation from that young man. We can’t make a mistake. Lele is only three years old. If she was a little older, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.” Yuan Zhou pondered in the heart. Of course, he hoped that the place that Lele said was really a business trip.

According to Lele’s description, the possibility was very small. Yuan Zhou had never thought that he could go out of contact for 10 days at work.

“Really? that’s great!” When Lele saw that Yuan Zhou didn’t answer her for a long time, she thought that the formidable uncle wasn’t willing to help. Tears started to well up in her eyes.

If her mother hadn’t told her that he was a little man and shouldn’t cry, Lele would have cried a long time ago.

“Uncle Yuan, please help me ask. But if mom is really busy, she doesn’t have to come back so soon. Lele will be very obedient.” Lele was originally very happy, but he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and quickly changed the topic.

“As long as it’s not too long, not that long, it’s fine.”

His white and tender little bun face frowned. It was obvious that Lele was extremely unwilling to make this decision, but she still made up her mind.

“Why didn’t you let mommy come back again?” Yuan Zhou was slightly touched in his heart.

“Because…Actually, mommy secretly told Lele that she’ll be very busy in the future and won’t have time to spend with Lele. She told Lele to be strong because Lele has already grown up and is a big child.” Lele twisted the corner of her clothes, pursed her lips, and continued,””Lele really misses mommy now. I’ve never seen mommy for so long before, so I’m not used to it. But Lele is definitely all grown up now. I don’t want mommy to be unhappy.”

Lele stuck out her small chest that had not yet grown, as if this would really make her grow up.

“Yes, uncle. I’ll definitely ask. Don’t worry.” Yuan Zhou promised solemnly.

“That’s great! Thank you, uncle Yuan. I believe you can do it. Even my dad said that you’re the best. This is my gift to thank you. ”

Lele stretched out her white and tender hand and opened her palm. There was a liquor-filled chocolate on it. It was brown in color and in the shape of a Pagoda. There was some sweat on it. It was obvious that Lele had held it very tightly.

Yuan Zhou could tell that Lele didn’t want to do that and said on purpose,””Only one?”

Lele frowned and didn’t seem to react. After a long time, she reluctantly said,””Mom bought this for Lele. Lele ate it too fast before, so there’s only one left. I wanted to keep it for mom, but I decided to give it to uncle Yuan.”

As he spoke, he spread out his other hand, and in his palm was an identical liquor-filled chocolate, also stained with sweat.

“No need. Uncle’s teeth are rotten, so he can’t eat candy. Besides, Lele should keep the things that mommy left for Lele, right? Lele, can you help uncle pick up these skins and put them in that little box?” Yuan Zhou pointed at some of the skins on the ground and said.

“No problem, Lele is very capable.” Lele heaved a sigh of relief and said proudly.

Probably due to her excellent upbringing, Lele was quite efficient in her work even though she was young. Very soon, she picked up the few pieces of skin and put them away. Then, she looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly, hoping to be praised.

“Lele is great. Go back first. I’ll tell you when I have news about your mother, okay?” Yuan Zhou thought that Lele had been out alone for 10 minutes and was afraid that her family members would look for her.

“I’ll go back now, or dad will be worried. Uncle Yuan, please help me. ” Lele spoke like a little adult and walked towards the end of the street.

Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and followed behind her. While looking at Lele crossing the road after the green light, he kept muttering,””Stop at red light, go through at green light, wait a moment when the yellow light turns.” He was probably afraid that he would forget the words, so he kept repeating them even when crossing the road.

Only when Lele crossed the road safely and entered the building at the side of the street did Yuan Zhou set his mind at ease and walk back.

“This matter is not easy to handle. Let’s see if we can meet his father first.” Yuan Zhou returned to master chef Restaurant while muttering.

Since the day Lele came to find Yuan Zhou, he had been practicing his cutting skills during his free time. In this way, he could practice his cutting skills and also see if he could meet that young man outside.

Although Yuan Zhou had seen the young man before, he really didn’t know his surname, where he lived and his phone number. Therefore, he could only wait for him in such a stupid way.

Unfortunately, he didn’t meet this young man for five days in a row. Yuan Zhou couldn’t help getting a little anxious. He was afraid that when Lele came again, she wouldn’t know how to answer him.

In the early morning, Yuan Zhou inevitably slowed down a little when he was eating the noodles and appeared to be in deep thought.

“Boss Yuan, do you have something on your mind today?” The boss glanced at it and then asked with concern.

The boss of the reserved noodle restaurant was also an old neighbor. Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and felt that the boss might know something.

“I met a child called Lele before. She seems to be very sensible at the age of three.” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then said. He couldn’t ask directly, so he intended to beat around the bush.

“Boss Yuan, are you talking about the child across the street? he’s indeed not bad. It’s just that his mother got into an accident at such a young age. That’s true …” The boss knew who Yuan Zhou was talking about and sighed.

“An accident? “Lele’s mom really …” Yuan Zhou frowned. He didn’t expect it to be true.

“To be precise, it’s not an accident. It’s a terminal illness. It’s only the 27th of December. Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence. Previously, I was sharing instant noodles in my shop. His mother opened a small restaurant and joined in. She passed away not long ago and the restaurant was closed. I only found out about it then. I’ve never seen the child before, but I’ve seen her husband. He came to talk about the instant noodles in person. He’s a good person.” The boss said directly.

“So that’s how it is.” Yuan Zhou said thoughtfully.

After confirming it again, he found it was indeed the young man he knew. The last bit of luck in Yuan Zhou’s heart was gone. This matter was difficult to deal with.

“System, you really don’t have any medicinal cuisines?” Yuan Zhou asked again in his heart.

After a long silence, the system replied,””I’m sorry,”she said.

Yuan Zhou also collected his mood and said inwardly,””I can’t blame you for this. Terminal illnesses and accidents are really annoying.”

The system displayed,”doctors cure people’s pain, misfortune, and diseases. Chefs cook to make people full and happy. The meaning of the two is different.”

“Okay, I got it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and understood the systematic comfort.
