Chapter 3： busy mother in pastry shop

Bao Zixuan, who was sitting in a taxi, drove towards Taiguocheng on the east side of Xiangjiang Island. His home is in Taikoo Shing District, and his mother, Li Yulin, had just bought a 1,200-foot house and an 800-foot shop in Taikoo Shing when the Taikoo Group was just developing. It was also after so many years that a woman brought her child up easily. main reason.

Li Yulin opened a pastry shop in Taikoo Shing. Although the price is relatively cheap, since the shop is her own, she can still earn about HK$200,000 a year. It can be said that the living expenses and tuition of Li Yulin's mother and son are completely sufficient.

Bao Zixuan can be said to be a little unfamiliar with this mother who has not yet met, even though his ex was not particularly aware of this mother. I only know from memory when I was rummaging around in the house as a child. I know that Li Yulin graduated from the Accounting Department of Hong Kong University, but since I can remember, I haven't seen any other relatives except my mother.

When I was a child, I also asked my mother about my father, but every time the answer was that he died when he went to sea; and the money to buy a house and shop was exchanged by his father's death. At that time, I didn’t think too much about it, but with 50 years of life experience, I knew that even if a seafarer encounters a shipwreck, it is impossible to compensate too much, especially in this era of Xiangjiang.

Since my mother didn't want to say, it seems that I shouldn't ask in the future; lest everyone be embarrassed, since I borrowed this body to come to this era. Then I have the obligation to help you do the responsibilities a son should take; to do the filial piety that a son should do; to do everything a son can do for his mother.

After pulling the suitcase and getting out of the taxi, since it was already 5:20 pm, this time was the busiest time in the store. There are a total of 7 staff in the store, and the cashier at the front desk is in charge of his mother, and the remaining 6 people include two couples who are middle-aged in their 40s. He has been working in the shop since it opened 8 years ago, and is in charge of making pastries. The remaining two little girls are about 20 years old and are shopping guides responsible for guiding customers to sell. The two girls had never met before. And the store has also been renovated. Maybe I saw the look of a foreign pastry shop in London. My mother renovated it according to the photos she sent!

The whole pastry shop with floor-to-ceiling glass windows is still very rare in Xiangjiang in this era. The open pastry workshop was even more unique in Xiangjiang in the 1970s. Seeing how busy his mother was, Bao Zixuan couldn't help feeling a little unbearable; he was much older than when he just left two years ago.

When Bao Zixuan walked into the store, Li Yulin saw her son walking over excitedly, but when she saw the gauze wrapped around her son's head, she immediately asked with concern, "Axuan, what's the matter; why is it hurt? It's not serious!"

Bao Zixuan: "Mommy, it's alright. I was accidentally smashed by the suitcase on the plane. I have already been to the hospital for bandaging. I have also undergone a comprehensive examination. I will go to the hospital three days later to change the medicine." Having lost his relatives, especially his mother, he once again felt the affection and love! It felt like he hadn't owned it for many years.

Li Yulin: "That's good. After speaking, she turned her head and said to a little girl next to her: "Little Li, take a look. I'll take my son home first; I just came back from London, I'll be here later."

"Okay, Madam Boss; this is your son! He looks really handsome!" After speaking, he smiled.

Bao Zixuan: "Mommy, it's fine, I'm not tired, it just so happens that I haven't worked for you for a long time. I learned some skills in London, in order to help you figure out the operation of the London pastry shop; I did it for two months during the holiday." After that, he put the suitcase behind the cashier. It is already very hot in Xiangjiang this month, so he is wearing short sleeves. After washing hands at the sink, he started his work.

To be honest, Bao Zixuan has been a very sensible child since he was a child. This is probably the reason why children from single-parent families mature relatively early; every time he comes home from school and on vacation, he will come to the store to help. So I made pastries very early; after putting on white work clothes, I went to the back kitchen, which occupies half of the entire store. After saying hello to Lao Zhang and Lao Liu and his wife, he saw that his mother had purchased all the new pastry making machines provided by him; he still sent money to himself on time every month. Bao Zixuan felt a little sad in his heart, but at the same time he was full of emotion. This is his mother! I would rather save myself, and give the best to my son after the hard times. He shook his head and started his work.

At the same time, in a luxury villa in the villa complex in the middle of the Xiangjiang River, a young man was reporting something to a middle-aged man. If Bao Zixuan saw it, he would definitely feel familiar. Zhang Yuliang and his bodyguards who I met on and off the plane.

Bodyguard: "Fourth Master, I accompany him to the hospital according to your instructions, but the people from Cathay Pacific paid all the medical expenses and compensated the boy surnamed Bao at 10,000 pounds. After leaving the hospital, we went to Standard Chartered Bank. , and transferred 1 million directly to his account. However, he rejected the driver we arranged and took a taxi home by himself; do you want to follow up. "

Zhang Yuliang: "Forget it, as long as this matter doesn't have a bad impact on Youran, it's fine. I didn't ask you to send it away, and he seems to be a smart person, and he doesn't want to be involved with our Zhang family in this matter. A kind of self-protection! It seems that there is still self-knowledge, although it is a student of Oxford and MIT, but Xiangjiang really does not lack such talents; and it is still engineering, and it has nothing to do with our Zhang family industry. "

Bodyguard: "Okay, I understand, Fourth Master; but if you ask, Miss."

Zhang Yuliang: "It's alright, I'll explain to her." At this time, Zhang Youran walked in, and the bodyguard walked out politely.

Zhang Youran: "Dad, how is that Bao Zixuan, what will A Yuan say when he comes back?"

Zhang Yuliang: "Don't worry! My good daughter has already gone to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. UU Reading is just a little skin injury. And I have also compensated him. He is a smart man and knows how to do it! Besides You are also careless, I won't let people feel that our Zhang family is bullying others. Well, you just came back, you should have a good rest, we will go to see grandparents tomorrow morning. "

Bao Zixuan skillfully made a face to face and saw this. Lao Liu said, "The craftsmanship of the little boss is really getting better and better. If you don't study and do this industry, those of us will be unemployed."

Lao Liu is 46 years old this year. The two of them have been working in the store. They can be said to be the old people in the store. However, Bao Zixuan was wearing work clothes and had already covered up the wound on his head, which did not attract much attention.

Seeing her son working inside, Li Yulin smiled gratified. And the people who buy things here are all acquaintances nearby, and everyone knows each other. I saw the proprietress laughing all the time today. Some old customers joked: "Boss Li, what a happy event! Why is I in such a good mood today! Is there someone who is pursuing it recently, and we want to distribute the second spring!"

Li Yulin: "Why, my son is back from London." At this time, someone next to him whispered, "Boss Li's son is very good, and he was admitted to Oxford University." Everyone was talking constantly!

Then someone started to say: "Does the boss's son have a girlfriend? My daughter is single! And she looks very pretty!" At this time, a very fat woman retorted. "Don't be joking, your daughter weighs 160 pounds, which is heavier than me; don't scare the boss's son!" After speaking, everyone laughed hahaha.

It wasn't that busy until after 8 pm, so Li Yulin called her son from the back kitchen, made some arrangements, and left the store to go home.
