Chapter 235 Are you getting remarried?
Several people followed Zhang Jianguo into the restaurant.
A waitress wearing an apron saw them come in and immediately came over warmly.
She smiled and said something in English that meant "Welcome."
Zhang Jianguo spoke a few words to her in English, telling her that he had already made a reservation in advance.
The waiter nodded and led the group of five into the restaurant.
They sat down in a spot by the window.
This is a rectangular table that can seat six people.
Li Ze and Ruoran sat on one side, while Zhang Jianguo, Wang Xiufen, and Zhang Zixuan sat opposite them.
The waiter handed out a menu to everyone.
The menu was laminated, entirely in English, and included photos of the dishes.
Ruoran stared at the menu for a long time.
She flipped through several pages, her expression growing increasingly confused.
She saw names like waffles, apple pie, blueberry pancakes, and maple bacon on the menu.
Although there were photos next to it, they all looked like sweet things.
Ruoran frowned and stared for a while before looking up at Zhang Jianguo sitting opposite her.
She said somewhat awkwardly:
"Brother, why is the breakfast menu here full of desserts? Like waffles, apple pie, and stuff like that."
"I've never been used to eating sweets for breakfast since I was a child. Are there any savory options?"
When Zhang Jianguo heard his sister ask this question, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
He glanced at Wang Xiufen sitting next to him.
Then, somewhat awkwardly, he said to Ruoran:
"Sister, to be honest, I'm not very familiar with this place either. I'm not sure what kind of savory breakfast they have here."
Zhang Jianguo thought for a moment, then continued:
"How about we ask a waiter to come over and ask for some recommendations?"
Just as Zhang Jianguo was about to wave to call a waiter...
Li Ze, who was sitting next to Ruoran, suddenly spoke up.
He said very casually:
"No need, brother. I know what savory dishes they have here, and the taste is quite suitable for our countrymen's palates."
After saying this, Li Ze picked up the menu on the table and flipped to the next few pages.
He pointed to several dishes on the menu as he looked at it.
Then he looked up at the waiter and ordered several dishes in fluent English.
Ruoran sat next to Li Ze and listened to him speak English, although she didn't quite understand the specific content.
But she could sense that Li Ze spoke very naturally and skillfully.
After ordering, Li Ze turned to look at Zhang Jianguo and Wang Xiufen sitting opposite him.
He asked with a smile:
"Brother, sister-in-law, would you two like some of what I ordered earlier? They're all savory, which suits our tastes better."
Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Zhang Jianguo quickly nodded.
"Okay, okay, then thank you for your help. We're not really used to the sweet breakfasts here; they just taste a bit strange."
Wang Xiufen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, salty food is still more comfortable."
Li Ze smiled, then spoke a few words in English to the waiter, requesting that the portions of the dishes he had just ordered be increased.
After the waiter finished taking notes, he took the menu and left.
Everyone sat around the table waiting for the food to be served.
About ten minutes later, the waiter came over carrying a large tray.
She placed the dishes from the tray onto the table one by one.
Ruoran looked at the dishes laid out in front of her.
There were scrambled eggs, fried bacon, grilled sausages, and some roasted potato chunks.
Although it looks a bit different from breakfast in China.
But at least they're all savory, which makes them look much better than those overly sweet things.
Ruoran picked up a fork, forked a piece of scrambled egg, and put it in her mouth.
She chewed a few times, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Hmm, it's quite delicious."
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Xiufen, who were sitting opposite, also took a few bites.
They all wore expressions of satisfaction.
While eating his fried bacon, Zhang Jianguo gave Li Ze a thumbs up.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing! You've lived here for so many years, and you even know what dishes are served in a small shop like this."
Li Ze smiled and waved his hand:
"Oh, not at all, I just used to eat at places like this all the time."
Everyone ate breakfast and chatted.
After taking a few bites, Zhang Jianguo put down his fork.
He looked at Li Ze and Ruoran, his expression becoming very serious.
He began to speak:
"By the way, let me tell you about Xuanxuan's treatment at the hospital."
Zhang Jianguo paused for a moment, then continued:
"When Xuanxuan first arrived at that hospital, the doctors gave her a very, very thorough examination. She underwent brain scans, psychological tests, and it took a whole week."
"Then the doctor told us that Xuanxuan's illness was mainly due to a problem in a certain area of her brain. That area is responsible for controlling emotions and reactions to the outside world."
Wang Xiufen continued from the side:
"Yes. Then the doctor devised a treatment plan for Xuanxuan. On one hand, medication was used to regulate the chemicals in her brain. On the other hand, psychotherapy was provided to help her gradually learn how to communicate normally with the outside world."
Zhang Zixuan, sitting next to her, also spoke up:
"During that period, I had to take several kinds of medication every day and also talk to a psychologist. At first, I found it very annoying and didn't want to cooperate."
"But gradually, I found that my state of mind was really improving little by little. Before, I always felt that everything around me had nothing to do with me, but now I'm starting to think that this world is actually quite interesting."
Zhang Jianguo's eyes were a little red.
"You don't know, when I first saw Xuanxuan talk to me and smile at me, I was so happy I almost cried."
Ruoran's eyes also reddened as she listened to her brother's words.
She reached out and grasped Zhang Zixuan's hand, who was sitting opposite her.
"Xuanxuan, you're feeling better now, that's wonderful! Auntie is so happy for you."
Zhang Zixuan looked at Ruoran and said very sincerely:
"Thank you, Auntie. And a special thank you to Uncle Li. If it weren't for Uncle Li helping me find such a good hospital, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
When Li Ze heard Zhang Zixuan say that, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't mention it, Xuanxuan. Seeing you so healthy and cheerful makes Uncle especially happy."
If Ruoran were watching Zhang Zixuan from the side, she would say with great satisfaction:
"This child is so sensible."
They chatted for a while longer about the treatment.
After they had almost finished eating, Zhang Jianguo suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
He looked at Li Ze and Ruoran, and said excitedly:
"By the way, how long do you two plan to stay in America this time?"
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"About a week."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianguo's eyes immediately lit up:
"That's great. Since you're staying so long, let's have some fun together. I'll take you around America, showing you all the famous sights."
Li Ze and Ruoran exchanged a glance.
Then they both nodded at the same time.
Ruoran said with a smile:
"Okay, brother, then I'll trouble you."
Li Ze echoed:
"Yeah, bro. We need to spend some time planning over the next few days to see which places would be best to go."
When Zhang Jianguo heard Li Ze say that he needed to "plan carefully," he looked at Li Ze with some surprise:
"Huh? You guys actually spent time planning this? I thought it was just a casual stroll around."
Zhang Jianguo smiled and then said:
"Actually, my initial idea was very simple: to take you on a tour around the United States. We'd visit all the famous places, like the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, and so on."
When Li Ze heard Zhang Jianguo say this, he nodded.
Then he glanced at Ruoran sitting next to him.
Ruoran happened to turn her head and look at him.
Their eyes met.
Li Ze saw encouragement in Ruoran's eyes.
He took a deep breath and decided to tell Zhang Jianguo and the others the real purpose of his trip to America.
Li Ze looked at Zhang Jianguo, Wang Xiufen, and Zhang Zixuan sitting opposite him.
He spoke very seriously:
"Brother, sister-in-law, Xuanxuan. Actually, Ruoran and I came to America this time not only to visit you, but also for another very important purpose."
When Zhang Jianguo heard Li Ze say "a very important purpose," his expression immediately turned serious.
He looked at Li Ze and asked:
"What's the purpose?"
Li Ze paused for a moment.
Then he reached out and took Ruoran's hand, which was resting on the table.
He looked at Zhang Jianguo and said very seriously:
"The real reason we came to America is to choose a place for our honeymoon and also a venue for our wedding."
As soon as those words were spoken...
The area around the table fell silent instantly.
Zhang Jianguo, Wang Xiufen, and Zhang Zixuan all opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The mouths of all three of them were wide open, looking completely bewildered.
Several seconds passed.
Zhang Jianguo finally realized what was happening.
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"What? You're getting remarried?"
Wang Xiufen also stood up, her face full of surprise:
"Really? You two are really getting back together?"
Zhang Zixuan also looked at Li Ze and Ruoran with great joy:
"Uncle and Auntie, this is so wonderful!"
Zhang Jianguo stood there, his eyes reddening again.
But this time it wasn't because of sadness, but because of happiness.
He pointed at Li Ze and Ruoran, his voice choked with emotion, and said:
"Great! That's wonderful! This is fantastic!"
Zhang Jianguo took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Then he said very solemnly:
"This time, we absolutely must be your witnesses. We'll also help you choose the wedding venue and your honeymoon location."
Wang Xiufen nodded vigorously beside her.
"Yes, yes, yes! We absolutely must help with something this important!"
Seeing her brother and sister-in-law so excited, Ruoran's eyes also reddened.
She grasped Li Ze's hand and nodded firmly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you and your wife."
Looking at the happy family of three in front of him, Li Ze felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He said with a smile:
"Then over the next few days, let's look around and pick out the perfect place. We'll definitely find the one that's absolutely perfect."
