The lady boss greeted me warmly. “You are here, do you want the same hot pot as before?”
I smiled and nodded.
In fact, I also liked to eat hot pot here.
Errol brought me here once, on my birthday.
Although he didn’t want to order more meat dishes, I was really happy that night.
The boss specially sent me longevity noodles.
It had been a long time since anyone celebrated my birthday.
When I worked with Errol, I didn’t earn much.
My money supported the family and his money supported Judy’s education, so we always lived frugally and only dared to put two more eggs in the noodles on her birthday.
I didn’t know at the time that Judy was not his biological sister, but I was a little envious of her.
If I also had such a brother who loved me, I would be able to continue my studies.
When I was 2 years old, I had been working outside for 2 years.
I had never seen anything good, Errol was good to me, so I was good to him.
With him, I always thought I had a family again.
Later I realized that his kindness to me was just a little bit of crumbs flowing out of the cracks.
His full heart had long been given to others.
Errol didn’t bring me here again because Judy was going abroad for graduate school.
