Chapter 120： Meet uncle Zou Hao

Chapter 120 Recognizing Uncle Zou Hao

When it was time to pay the bill, Xie Jiagui was about to say forget it and didn’t need to pay.

But when he thought of Hao Guojian's rigorous style, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

Hao Guojian is definitely not interested in doing something different, and may even be very disgusted with it.

Before leaving, Hao Guojian said to Xie Jiagui, "Thank you, boss, your food is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. I believe your achievements in the future will definitely be more than this. Also, I hope you will not treat us badly after this incident." These public officials have lost confidence. Our team is very large, and it is inevitable that there will be some bugs, but they definitely cannot represent our overall image. If similar things happen again in the future, you can write a letter to report and use your right to report. We welcome everyone A people’s supervision.”

These words were so serious that Xie Jiagui felt a little at a loss when he heard them. He couldn't say anything and could only nod along.

After Hao Guojian and his party left, Xie Jiagui sat on his chair for a long time without regaining consciousness.

He did not expect such a great leader to be so approachable.

How has a commoner like him ever come into contact with people like Hao Guojian?

Zhong Xiuying said half-jokingly: "People like Hao Guojian have come to our restaurant for dinner and praised us. We can't just become popular like this."

Hearing this, everyone laughed in unison. At that time, none of them took Zhong Xiuying's joke seriously.

After Zhou Wanhong returned home, she told the Pei family about meeting Zou Hao.

Everyone has the right to know this matter. Zou Hao is not only Zou Min's brother, but also Pei Tiantian's biological uncle.

As soon as Zhou Wanhong said these words, everyone in the Pei family was so frightened that their eyes widened.

“Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t Zou Hao go out to serve as a soldier in his early years, go on some secret mission, and then die?”

"I don't know what happened, but I'm pretty sure that the person I saw was Zou Hao. His appearance hasn't changed much, but he's lame in one leg."

Zhou Wanhong recalled how she saw Zou Hao. He was very decadent and felt like he was not having a good life at first glance.

After learning this information, Pei Zhiwen said solemnly: "Could it be that Zou Hao almost died at first, but he was rescued later, so he became lame in one leg?"

"It's very possible, but isn't Zou Hao a senior military officer? Why did he become a security guard inexplicably? Even if he is lame, the country won't arrange such a disgraceful job for him, right?"

These doubts puzzled the Pei family.

“Auntie, is the man you saw really my uncle?” Pei Tiantian suddenly asked.

“Yes, Tiantian, aunt is right, that is your uncle.”

Pei Tiantian was thoughtful for a while.

Zou Hao, there is no role for this person in the novel, he has never appeared.

So Pei Tiantian didn’t know what happened to Zou Hao for a while.

But he was reduced from a senior military officer to a security guard, and even became lame.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zou Hao's experience was probably very tragic.

Pei Zhiwen: "Wan Hong, I'll go with you tomorrow to see if it's Zou Hao himself."

Zhou Wanhong recalled Zou Hao's resistant attitude when he saw her, and hesitated, "He pretended not to recognize me when he saw me. I'm afraid he wouldn't want to acknowledge us."

"What happened to this child?" Wang Ruizhen felt heartbroken when she heard that Zou Hao was lame.

Knowing that Zou Hao was still unwilling to recognize these relatives, Wang Ruizhen was worried again.

Pei Zhiwen frowned and didn't know what to say.

The next day, Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen, who had taken half a day off, went to the government building and asked the security guard.

As soon as the security guard saw Zhou Wanhong, he put on his hat in a panic, "Sister, is this... someone else freeloading in your restaurant?"

Zhou Wanhong shook her head with a smile, "I want to find one of you."

“Who!”

"His name is Zou Hao. He is our relative. We have lost contact with him for a long time."

When the security guard heard this, he looked at them suspiciously, "Really or not, Zou Hao said that everyone in his family was dead, how could you relatives show up out of nowhere?"

Zhou Wanhong was a little helpless: "Brother, we really didn't lie to anyone. Can you please let us meet him?"

The security guard saw that Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen looked anxious, and it really didn't look like they were telling lies.

“Okay, I’ll go ask. He’s in the dormitory now, and it’s not yet time to change shifts.”

When the security guard came back after questioning, he was still the only one who came. As soon as he saw Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen, he said, "You'd better leave. Zou Hao said he won't see you."

“Did he say why?”

“Zou Hao said that there is no need for him to meet you, and asked you not to come to him, otherwise he will leave here immediately.”

Hearing this, Pei Zhiwen and Zhou Wanhong looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the security guard said again: "If you are really Zou Hao's relative, you'd better try to persuade him and let him go back with you early and take good care of him. The boy's illness looks pitiful. When it rains, His lame leg hurts so much that he is rolling on the ground. Why are he still working here like this? I can’t bear to see him.”

When Pei Zhiwen heard this, he felt his heart tightening.

For Zou Hao, he remembered him as a handsome young man with sunshine and youth. He joined the army early and endured hardships and was physically strong, so he was promoted to the rank of officer.

He is also the pride of the Zou family.

Until the news of Zou Hao's death came, the old man of the Zou family was greatly shocked. His body collapsed and he was bedridden all year round. Zou Min was the only one left with a daughter.

As a result, this daughter was later harmed by Pei Zhisheng.

Pei Zhiwen's mood is a bit complicated.

Because of Pei Zhisheng, he always felt that the Pei family felt sorry for the Zou family.

After returning home, Zhou Wanhong and Pei Zhiwen told everyone what Zou Hao said.

Everyone is very worried about Zou Hao's health.

“No matter how Zou Hao still has a niece called Tiantian, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t recognize us relatives. How can he still deny Tiantian?”

Wan Cuilan said bluntly, "Brother and sister-in-law, you should just bring Tiantian over and persuade him. I don't believe that Zou Hao is not soft-hearted after seeing Tiantian."

Pei Zhiqiang shook his head in disapproval: "But Zou Hao has said that if we look for him again, he will leave here. If my brother and sister-in-law go there again, we are afraid that we will never find Zou Hao again."

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense for a moment, Pei Tiantian said, "Uncle and aunt, please take me there. I can go to my uncle alone. I believe that my uncle will not want to recognize me. He must have some difficulties in his heart."

"Okay, let's just let Tiantian go alone." Pei Zhiwen trusted Pei Tiantian very much.

He feels that children can impress people more than adults.

Pei Zhiwen asked Pei Tiantian for leave from school and asked Zhou Wanhong to take her to the city.

Zhou Wanhong took Pei Tiantian to the restaurant and drank a glass of water.

Xie Jiagui was still a little curious as to why Tiantian came suddenly.

Zhou Wanhong told them in detail that Tiantian's uncle worked as a security guard in the government building and was in poor health. However, he did not want to recognize them now, so he could only bring Tiantian over to persuade him. Him, let him go home with them and take good care of him.

Xie Jiagui was in a state of despair for a moment. Suddenly, at this moment, a group of people with cameras hanging around their necks suddenly came in from outside.

“Everyone, may I ask what you want to eat?”

The leader said: "We are reporters from Tomorrow Daily. We heard that Hao Guojian personally ordered your restaurant for dinner on the first day he came to Jade Market. We would like to interview you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the restaurant stopped.

Xie Jiagui and Zhong Xiuying quickly went in excitedly and changed into a set of decent clothes.

Accepted photos and interviews from reporters in a decent manner.

The reporter from Tomorrow Daily asked over and over again the details of the day.

In order not to cause other troubles, Xie Jiagui skipped the matter of those people in the government building freeloading when explaining. He only said that Hao Guojian heard that the food here was good, so he came over.

This group of reporters left after completing the interview.

Pei Tiantian smiled and said to Xie Jiagui, "Uncle Xie, congratulations. With newspapers helping to promote it, your restaurant will definitely become more prosperous."

Xie Jiagui smiled from ear to ear and said, "Okay, okay, Tiantian, let me borrow your good words."

 Pei Tiantian and Zhou Wanhong left the restaurant. According to the shift change time Zhou Wanhong found out from the security guard, she took Pei Tiantian near the government building.

“Tiantian, your uncle is on duty in the security room now. Go ahead and persuade your uncle. My aunt is waiting for you here.”

Pei Tiantian nodded and ran towards the door of the government building on her short legs.

Zou Hao suddenly saw a small breasted dumpling standing at the door, looking at him motionless.

The little girl’s watery grape eyes were a bit innocent, and the soft cheeks moved as she spoke, “Hello!”

“Children, who are you looking for?”

Zou Hao saw that the little girl looked as pretty as a doll, so he thought she was the child of some leader.

“I’m looking for my uncle.” Xiao Naituanzi said in a milky voice.

"Who is your uncle? I will take you to find him." Zou Hao said.

At this time, Xiao Naituanzi didn’t speak, and just stared at him with her round grape eyes.

Zou Hao's heartbeat suddenly slowed down a beat, and he seemed to be aware of something.

The little girl pointed her white finger at him without hesitation, "You, my uncle is you."

Zou Hao's pupils shrank. He stared at Pei Tiantian with wide eyes. Suddenly, from her unopened facial features, he could see that she looked a little familiar like his sister.

Zou Hao murmured: "You...you are Tiantian."

Pei Tiantian's acting skills became more and more proficient. She suppressed the red circles in her eyes, pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Yes, why doesn't uncle want to recognize us? Does uncle not want me as his niece?"

After finishing speaking, Pei Tiantian naturally squeezed out a few golden beans from her eyes and cried so sadly, "Wow - uncle doesn't want to recognize Tiantian!"

Zou Hao suddenly became at a loss. He limped out of the security room, hugged the little breast dumpling, and comforted him awkwardly: "Stop crying, stop crying!"

“Uncle! I miss you so much. Why don’t you go home?”

The little girl was crying hard and hiccupping, looking very pitiful.

Zou Hao carefully wiped the tears on the little girl's delicate face with his rough palms, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Uncle didn't..."

“If you don’t, go home with Tiantian. Uncle, you have to recognize Tiantian. Tiantian is so sad!”

Pei Tiantian lay on Zou Hao's shoulder, sobbing and complaining.

After a long while, Zou Hao said with difficulty: "Tiantian, stop crying, uncle will go home with you."

Pei Tiantian stood up from Zou Hao's shoulder, looked up at him, grinned and smiled proudly, "Tiantian knows that uncle is the best!"

There is no sadness in the little girl's eyes.

Zou Hao was stunned.

He suddenly realized that Tiantian, the little niece, seemed to be different from other children.

Zou Hao packed up the few clothes he had and returned to Huangsha Village with Pei Tiantian and Zhou Wanhong.

And the other side

“Lao Xie, our store has been published in tomorrow’s newspaper!” Zhong Xiuying excitedly took a newspaper from outside and ran in.

Everyone gathered together to see what was written in the newspaper.

The moment Xie Jiagui got the newspaper and saw the headline, he felt a little bit dumbfounded.

The title is "What's so wonderful about a restaurant that Hao Guojian calls "good" three times in a row?

Xie Jiagui read the article and described all the signature dishes in their store, describing them vividly.

But the description of Hao Guojian’s scene while eating is a bit exaggerated.

What "Hao Guojian's eyes widened when he saw the table full of delicacies" and "Hao Guojian slapped the table with delicious food and stood up".

Xie Jiagui was filled with questions.

What the **** is all this!

Hao Guojian is a gentle and gentle man. He speaks softly throughout the meal and has a smile on his face. It is absolutely impossible for him to have such exaggerated body movements.

Xie Jiagui was on the verge of tears, "Why are the reporters in this newspaper writing so carelessly? I clearly didn't mean that. They described Hao Guojian as a fool who has never eaten good food. Really, if Hao Guojian sees it I’m afraid this article may have misunderstood me. I thought I was telling reporters this nonsense just to promote my restaurant.”

Zhong Xiuying was a little worried when she saw those lines of text, "Then what should we do?"

"We went to the door in person to argue with those reporters. It was too much. We didn't report it truthfully."

Xie Jiagui angrily rushed to the workplace of Tomorrow Daily together with Zhong Xiuying.

Unexpectedly, when I saw the reporters, they said: "This is just an exaggerated expression. Hao Guojian did say that the food in your restaurant is delicious, and we did not lie."

“It’s good that our newspaper will promote your restaurant for free.”

The words of several reporters immediately left Xie Jiagui speechless.

In the following period, due to the extensive coverage of Tomorrow Daily, other media also followed suit.

Xie Jiagui has learned a lesson now and refuses to be interviewed.
