030 Restaurant Distress

In this era when material life is not yet abundant, McDonald's and Chicken Chicken, which often appear in TV commercials, can be said to be the most noble food temples in the hearts of many children.

Their hamburgers, chicken fries, sundaes and even small toys are all very high-end. Children yearn for a trip to the big city, often just to try Kendall Chicken and McDonald's.

But Xia Yuan has never had such an opportunity. This kind of food, which is considered junk food by her mother, is listed as a forbidden item at home, just like candy and games.

Only with Mei Fang could Xia Yuan have the opportunity to experience these pleasures.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xia Yuan's childhood life was not very happy when he was not with him.

In order to prevent the child from having childhood regrets, Mei Fang was naturally willing to help Xia Yuan fulfill her wish.

It was not very convenient to find the way in the era without navigation. Fortunately, Mei Fang had studied in Jiangcheng before. They also had tour guide maps available for purchase at the convenience store at the station. They quickly identified a nearby Ken Chicken restaurant, which was just a short walk away.

Achievable distance.

Mei Fang walked in front with her small suitcase, and Xia Yuan followed closely. She deliberately lowered her hat and looked around. When she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she whispered to Mei Fang.

"Mom always tells me that there are a lot of bad people near the station and tells me not to run around. I don't think anyone is paying attention to us."

"That's just good luck this time. Your mother was right."

Mei Fang said seriously, "It's better not to take it lightly and stop running around."

"Um!"

Xia Yuan nodded vigorously, then took Mei Fang's arm, "Is that okay? This way I won't get lost with you."

"OK."

This girl...

Mei Fang brought Xia Yuan to the Ken Da Chicken store. It was lunch time now. There were many people queuing up to order food in the store. Xia Yuan looked at the dazzling array of various dishes on the Ken Da Chicken display board and was a little overwhelmed.

Eye.

"What do you want to eat?"

"First is the burger! I want to eat...um...the crispy chicken burger! But the set meal seems to be a good deal...the toys in the children's set meal seem to be good, but there is no burger..."

Seeing that Xia Yuan was still undecided, Mei Feng made the decision for her, "I'll order it for you. You first find a seat and sit down."

"good……"

Xia Yuan pushed the box and looked around, then found a seat at a small table next to the Kendaji Children's Playground.

Seeing Xia Yuan sit down safely, Mei Fang stopped staring at her and looked at the menu while thinking about Xia Yuan's gradual changes.

The quarrel between her parents seemed to have had some impact on Xia Yuan. She went from trusting her mother unconditionally in everything to questioning some of her mother's teachings.

These doubts may have been silently formed in my mind very early on, but due to various factors they have never been revealed.

Mei Fang began to worry a little, whether the agreement he had just made because of doting on her might be the culprit that awakened her rebellious consciousness.

It is true that you will not grow if you follow your parents' arrangements in everything.

But going from one extreme to another, opposing parents for the sake of opposing parents, is not the way to solve the problem.

Fortunately, she still trusts him. In order to live up to this trust, he has the obligation not to take her to extremes...

While Mei Fang was thinking, Xia Yuan held her chin and swung her calves, waiting boredly for her meal. At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting next to her suddenly spoke to her.

"Little sister, you are not alone, are you? Are you coming to have dinner with your mother?"

Xia Yuan shook his head, "With my brother."

Mei Fang and Xia Yuan were set up as brothers and sisters, and Xia Yuan kept this in mind.

"Who is your brother?"

"Well...it's the one in front..."

Xia Yuan just pointed out the location of Mei Fang who was queuing up, but belatedly realized that something was not right.

Uncle, why are you asking this?

"Oh, that's it."

The middle-aged man with glasses smiled and said, "Uncle, I ordered an extra sundae that I can't finish. Since you are waiting for my brother to order, how about giving this one to you?"

Xia Yuan shook his head and waved his hands, "No need, uncle, my brother also bought me a sundae."

"It just so happens that it's not your brother's turn yet. I'll ask him not to order it, so you can save money, don't you think?"

"Um……"

When Xia Yuan was struggling with how to answer, his uncle had already handed over the sundae and placed it on Xia Yuan's table.

"You're welcome, I just bought this and I really can't eat it anymore."

As he said this, the man with glasses stood up and went to greet Mei Fang. Unexpectedly, Mei Fang, who was still in line, had already walked over at this time.

"Uncle, do you have anything to do with my sister?"

"Haha, I see your sister is bored waiting alone, so just have a chat with her."

The middle-aged man with glasses smiled and said, "You two little guys came here alone to buy burgers, and you are carrying suitcases. Be careful of bad guys."

"My mother and grandma are shopping for clothes in the mall right now and will come to see us soon. We are just helping to look after the luggage, so we don't have to worry about uncle."

"Go and line up quickly. You don't need to buy a sundae. I can't eat it, so I'll give it to your sister."

"Thank you, uncle. I appreciate your kindness, but you'd better eat it yourself. My sister is allergic to strawberries and won't eat strawberry sundaes."

"Are you afraid that uncle is a bad person, haha! It's normal to be worried about this...it's okay, uncle will leave now, you can eat in peace."

The man said and left the restaurant with his bag. The strawberry sundae was still placed on Xia Yuan's table.

Mei Fang took the sundae and threw it into the trash can without thinking.

After turning around, he said to Xia Yuan seriously, "What did I tell you when I went out? Don't talk to strangers."

"That uncle doesn't look like a bad person. I think he is just worried about me being alone and carrying a suitcase..."

Mei Fang shook her head: "No matter whether he is good or bad, we must abide by the agreement we made before going out. I have to protect you."

"I...I know."

Xia Yuan nodded vigorously and agreed not to say a word to strangers again.

Mei Fang bought a set meal from Kenda Chicken. There was also a set meal for children that Xia Yuan liked to bring with toys. The total was chicken popcorn, sweet potatoes and Coke, a serving of Colonel's chicken nuggets, and two servings of the out-of-print Pastoral Crispy Chicken Burgers.

The unhappiness that occurred before the meal was quickly swept away by the delicious food.

"Are you going to eat this fried chicken nugget with this sauce... Mmm... it's so delicious!"

"Mei Fang, eat these French fries! They are delicious!"

"The burger is so big! I wish I had only ordered one if I had known there were so many."

Mei Fang had often suspected that Kendaji’s burgers were getting smaller and smaller, and the 22-year-old burger was no bigger than a palm.

But after buying another one today, I vaguely felt that the weight seemed to be not much different from the previous life.

Could it be that the palms and appetite are simply getting bigger?

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang had a great time at Kenda Chicken Restaurant.

After eating and drinking, the two looked at the map together and began to confirm the route plan to their grandma's house.

"Let's see... I remember we should take bus 901 and then transfer to bus 304 to get there directly."

"901 is marked on the map. We can just go to the bus stop in front."

Mei pointed out the direction of the bus stop to Xia Yuan, her eyes paused in a certain direction for a moment, and her expression immediately became solemn.

"What's wrong? Mei Fang..."

"Don't look around! Take a quick look to your right, in the direction of the cake shop."

Xia Yuan followed Mei Fang's gaze and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

At this time, Mei Fang also held her hand.

The middle-aged man with glasses who had just struck up a conversation with her was currently standing at the door of a cake shop reading a newspaper.

He didn't leave.
