Chapter 621
"Yeah, you surely wouldn't know . You weren't even born at that time . " The old man took a look at Yuan Zhou and continued saying, not being affected at all .
"Um . Please continue . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't contradict him .
"This tailor shop was the best store that made clothes at that time around here . People were hurrying to and fro every day and none of them were poor people . " The old man revealed a manner of reminiscence .
"I'm waiting for someone over here . We haven't met for many years and I'm not sure if she still recognizes me . " The old man was a little perturbed when he said that .
Yuan Zhou just stayed silent and waited quietly for the old man to continue .
"At that time, she and I both worked as apprentices . We were very little then . " The old man sighed with emotion .
"Childhood sweethearts . " Yuan Zhou summarized concisely and comprehensively .
"Yeah, that's the word . At that time, she was very afraid of worms and thus hid in a pigsty once . I was the first that found her . " The old man appeared quite proud when he spoke of this matter .
"As time went by, Tong Tong and I understood each other better and finally got together . At that time, we were only 15 years old . However, that wasn't a young age in my time . " The expression on the old man's face revealed sweetness and warmth .
"Now, it's called puppy love . " Yuan Zhou said that in an unromantic way .
"Later on, I promised to give her the best wedding dress . Just in front of the tailor shop, I made that promise . " The old man raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou's restaurant .
His gaze was meaningful as if he could see the bustling tailor shop that people hurried to and fro formerly through Yuan Zhou's restaurant .
"Then you went away and never returned . And now, you have come back to look for her . " Yuan Zhou got straight to the point .
"No, it's not like that . I just don't know if she can come back again . " The old man gave a contemptuous look at Yuan Zhou .
"Is the person you are waiting for called Tong Lan?" As far as Yuan Zhou knew, there was nobody surnamed Tong except for Boss Tong from the dry cleaning shop .
Judging from the age of this old man, he was almost the same age as Boss Tong . Therefore, Yuan Zhou made that guess .
"You know Tong Lan? Do you know Tong Lan? Are you her son?" The old man got dumbfounded first, then he looked at Yuan Zhou in disbelief and asked a series of questions .
"No . Boss Tong is the boss of the dry cleaning shop over there . " Yuan Zhou revealed a look of seriousness, however, no one could see the helplessness contained in his heart .
"The neighboring store?" The old man looked toward the neighboring store directly .
"Ta Ta Ta" . The old man walked to the neighboring store with big strides and started to walk up and down in front of the closed door .
"Boss Tong is gone . " Yuan Zhou didn't turn his head, but just said lightly .
"She's gone?" The old man stayed put in a daze . There was only a blank look on his face rather than a specific expression .
"She went travelling . " Yuan Zhou turned his head and added quickly when he found the old man didn't appear normal .
"You nasty guy, you almost scared me to death . Tell me, where is Tong Lan now?" The old man let out a sigh of relief and then said to Yuan Zhou bitterly .
"Touring . " Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly .
"There's always a place to go as a tourist . Tell me, do you know where she is now?" The old man walked to Yuan Zhou with big strides, stared at him, and asked loudly .
"Aunt Tong told me that she wanted to go around the world, so I'm not sure about her exact location . " Yuan Zhou didn't retreat and then, he said lightly .
"Since you know so much, you are still in contact with her, aren't you?" The old man looked at Yuan Zhou and said affirmatively .
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't contradict him, but just looked at the old man in silence .
"Tell me about her contact info . Well… forget it . When Tong Tong contacts you next time, please tell me . " While he was saying that, he lowered his head and said with a sorrowful voice .
"You don't want it?" Yuan Zhou became a little puzzled .
"No, I don't . But if Tong Tong contacts you next time, please do tell me . " The old man turned around and walked back to the original place .
It was still the same place . The old man just stood there as if he had prepared to stand forever until Boss Tong came back .
"Um . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then went back to his restaurant .
When it went to the fixed time, the old man left straightforwardly .
After a sound of "Hua La", Yuan Zhou closed the door and walked back into the kitchen .
"I should make a phone call . " Yuan Zhou muttered while stroking his forehead with his hand . After that, he turned around and went upstairs .
