Chapter 620 I’m Tired of Waiting

"Yeah, you definitely don't know, you weren't even born yet at that time." The old man glanced at Yuan Zhou and continued unaffected.

"Well, please tell me." Yuan Zhou nodded without refuting.

"This tailor shop was the best in making clothes at that time. People came and went every day, and all the people passing by were rich people." The old man looked nostalgic.

"I'm waiting for someone here. I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know if she knows me." The old man was a little uneasy when he said this.

But Yuan Zhou didn't speak, quietly waiting for the old man to continue speaking.

"When I was an apprentice with her, I was still young at that time." The old man's tone was distant and emotional.

"Childhood sweethearts." Yuan Zhou summed it up concisely and comprehensively.

"That's the word. At that time, she was afraid of caterpillars and hid in the pigsty alone. I was the first to find one." When the old man talked about this, the expression on his face was very proud.

"Later, Tongtong and I got to know each other, and we got together from time to time. We were only fifteen years old at that time, but we were not too young at that time." The expression on the old man's face was warm and sweet.

"Now it's puppy love." What Yuan Zhou said was not romantic at all.

"Later, I promised her that I would give her the best wedding dress in the world, right in front of this tailor shop. That's what I promised." The old man raised his eyes and looked at Yuanzhou's shop.

His eyes were distant, as if he saw through the small shop the bustling tailor shop that used to be bustling with people.

"Then you left and never came back, and now you're looking for someone." Yuan Zhou said sharply.

"Go, go, that's not it. I don't know if this person will come now." The old man rolled his eyes at Yuan Zhou angrily.

"Is the name of the person you are waiting for Tong Lan?" The only person named Tong that Yuan Zhou knew was Aunt Tong from the dry cleaning shop next door.

Moreover, judging from the age of this old man, he should be about the same age as Boss Tong, which is why Yuan Zhou made such a guess.

"Do you know Tong Lan? Do you know Tong Lan? Then you are Tong Lan's son?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuan Zhou in disbelief and asked a series of questions.

"No, Boss Tong is the owner of the dry cleaning shop here." Yuan Zhou looked serious, and his helplessness could not be seen at all.

"Next door?" The old man turned directly to look next door.

"Tap tap tap" the old man strode to the door of the store next door and began to circle around the closed door.

"Boss Tong is gone." Yuan Zhou said in a calm tone without turning around.

"Leaving?" The old man stood there blankly, with no expression on his face and a blank look.

"Going on a trip." Yuan Zhou turned around and found that the old man's expression was not right, so he spoke quickly.

"You brat, you almost scared me to death. Where did Tong Lan go?" The old man exhaled a long breath and said to Yuan Zhou in a ferocious tone.

"Travel." Yuan Zhou said directly.

"There is always a place to travel. Tell me, do you know where it is?" The old man strode up to Yuan Zhou and asked loudly with his eyes wide open.

"Aunt Tong said she wanted to walk around, but her location is uncertain now." Yuan Zhou said calmly without retreating.

"You know so much, is she related to you?" The old man said to Yuan Zhou with a sure look on his face.

This time Yuan Zhou did not refute, but just looked at the old man quietly.

"Then tell me your contact information. Forget it. Let me know when Tongtong will contact you next time." The old man lowered his head and said in a faint voice.

"No more." Yuan Zhou sounded a little confused.

"No, just let me know next time Tongtong contacts you." The old man turned around and stood back under the lantern of Yuanzhou's shop.

Still in the same position, the old man stood there, as if he was ready to stand there and wait for Boss Tong to come back.

"Yeah." Yuan Zhou nodded and returned to the store.

When the fixed time comes, the old man leaves directly.

"Wow!" Yuan Zhou closed the door and walked back to the kitchen.

"We should make a call." Yuan Zhou touched his forehead with his hand, muttered, then turned and went up the stairs.

The second floor of the tavern was very lively. Chen Wei and the others were drinking Pitong wine seriously while Yuan Zhou, who returned upstairs, sat at the desk and picked up his mobile phone.

"It's just half past nine, it should be about the same." Yuan Zhou finished muttering and then started dialing.

The three words "Aunt Tong" were clearly written on the number.

Yuan Zhou dialed directly, and there was a "beep beep" sound from the phone.

"Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?" Boss Tong's sleepy voice came from the phone.

"Are you having fun lately?" Yuan Zhou asked seriously, holding the phone.

"It's pretty good, just a little cold." Boss Tong's voice was filled with a smile this time.

"Aunt Tong, someone is looking for you." Yuan Zhou said tentatively.

"Are they regular customers? Introduce them to other places." Boss Tong's tone this time was filled with pride.

"No, he is a very old man, an old man." Yuan Zhou said directly.

This time, Boss Tong did not answer quickly, but remained silent for a long time.

When Boss Tong was silent, Yuanzhou didn't speak, silently waiting for Boss Tong to speak again.

"Have you been here for a long time?" When Boss Tong spoke this time, his tone was much lower.

"It's been a few days." Yuan Zhou asked and answered.

"Xiao Yuan, do you know?" Boss Tong's tone was very sure.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"You want to know?" Boss Tong's meaning was very clear. He was asking Yuan Zhou if he wanted to know specific things.

However, Yuanzhou did not say anything.

"Actually, we grew up together. He was a few years older than me at that time, and we learned to make tofu together from the master. I was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time." Boss Tong talked about the past in a tone similar to that of the old man. almost the same.

They are all remembered with some emotion.

Boss Tong spoke seriously about the past and some things about her and the old man, which were much more detailed than what the old man said.

When Boss Tong was talking, Yuan Zhou did not interrupt, but listened carefully.

"At that time, he learned the craft better than me, and he thought he would have his own workshop in the future." Boss Tong said with regret in his tone.

"The dry cleaning shop you opened." Yuan Zhou said in a straightforward tone.

"In the words of you young people today, we may have fallen in love prematurely. Although we have not pierced the window, we still have feelings that are vague and incomprehensible."

"I still remember the first time I held hands with him in a very strange place. It was the pig pen." Boss Tong was full of memories.

Yuanzhou snorted, indicating that he was still listening.

"When I was sixteen years old, one day he was leaving Rongcheng for family reasons. It was also there that he told me that he would make me wear the most beautiful wedding dress, and then proposed to me, telling me not to wear anyone else's dress. Wedding dress." Boss Tong's voice was low and slow.

Yuan Zhou asked: "So this is the reason why you have never gotten married?"

"He said that, so I agreed." Boss Tong said.

"I accepted casually, but until now." Yuan Zhou said.

"Day after day, year after year, sometimes I don't know whether I am abiding by the agreement made back then, or just getting used to waiting. More than thirty years have passed, and he left and never came back." Boss Tong said in a calm tone.

"But you're still waiting." Yuan Zhou said directly.

Boss Tong said nothing, as if he acquiesced in Yuan Zhou's words, and as if he didn't hear anything.

"When are you planning to come back?" Yuan Zhou then asked.

However, Yuan Zhou soon realized that his question was too direct, and quickly added, "I have found a nursing home for you. Come back and have a look."

"No, I'm not coming back yet." Boss Tong refused directly.

"Why?" Yuan Zhou asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired of waiting." When Boss Tong said this, his tone was a little gloomy, but also filled with relief.

Yuanzhou found himself speechless when he found that he wanted to persuade him again. Boss Tong had been waiting since he was sixteen to be fifty now. He believed that he must have opened a dry cleaning shop next to the shop just to find him.

No one can understand the ups and downs in this.
