Aurous Hill Archway is an authentic local catering brand in Aurous Hill. There
are several branches in Aurous Hill that specialize in authentic local cuisine
and are deeply loved by locals.
When he came to the entrance of Aurous Hill Archway, Pollard introduced to
Charlie: “My ancestors were all native of Aurous Hill for three generations.
From my birth to adolescence, I have been living in Aurous Hill. Later I went to
the United States to study. I have been rooted in the United States. I have
recently returned to live after a few decades away. I suddenly felt that the food
in my hometown is too tempting. I don’t get tired of eating it. Although the
school’s teachers’ cafeteria provides a variety of food for free, I still have it at
noon every day. I come here and have a bite of authentic Aurous Hill cuisine.”
After speaking, he asked Charlie, “But you have lived in this city for so many
years, have you already been tired of eating it?”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “I have never pursued food. In the ten years
of the orphanage, every day with clear soup and water, I didn’t feel anything
wrong. Later, when I went to work at a construction site, I felt like steamed

Pollard couldn’t help sighing: “The days you lived before the age of eight,
few people in this world can compare, and you fell to the bottom for so many
years. How did you adapt?”
Charlie smiled and said, “When I was very young, my parents taught me not
to be happy with things or sad for myself, so for me, there is nothing I need to
adapt to. In my opinion, it makes no difference whether to pamper yourself or
eat chaffy vegetables.”
Pollard said with emotion: “You are exactly the same as your mother. When
we were undergraduate, your mother not only won the full scholarship by her
ability, but she also worked in the restaurant outside the school every day
during her spare time. The degree is also very frugal, never extravagant
and wasteful.”
“I remember at that time, at the end of each semester, your mother would use the money she saved for a
semester to travel, and she was a backpacker who traveled poorly. At that time, we all thought that your mother
must have poor family conditions. We learned later. The strength of your mother’s family is the best in the
world…”
Charlie said with a smile: “I remember her as indeed very frugal. She always taught me how to save money
and not waste it. Even a grain of rice should not be left when eating. This is the same as my dad. It’s very
similar, the two of them actually had no pursuit of material things.”
Pollard agreed: “So your mother and your father could come together. When they should be young and
frivolous, they were already out of material pursuits and low-level tastes.
Unlike us, they thought about everything every day when they were young. Earn money and spend money, and
sell fame and reputation.”
With that said, Pollard stepped into the hotel first and made a please gesture to Charlie.
Charlie hurriedly followed him in, when the lobby on the first floor of the hotel was already full of people.
The local restaurant in Aurous Hill is quite similar to the tea house in the capital. Basically, the first floor is a
lobby with many tables and people, so the environment is relatively noisy, but most people like this messy
feeling.
And in the very center of the first floor, there is a small stage for people to play and sing local operas. At this
time, two actors are singing Kunqu opera on the stage.
After Pollard came in, he pointed to the stairs and said to Charlie, “Charlie, I have reserved a seat on the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsecond floor. The upstairs is cleaner. Let’s go up.”
“OK.”
Moving to the second floor, the environment was a little cleaner. When a waiter saw the two coming up, he
hurried to the front and said politely, “Professor Watt, you are here!”
Pollard nodded and smiled: “It’s still in the old position. I’ve said hello to your
manager.”
The waiter said: “Our manager has already told me, you two come with me.”
The seat that Pollard chose was a deck by the window, a small square table
made of logs, and the four sides could seat four people, so the two sat leaning
against the window.
Pollard pushed over a menu and said to Charlie, “Charlie, come order and
see what you like to eat.”
Charlie waved his hand and said with a smile: “Uncle, it’s better for you to
choose, and I will eat whatever you order.”
After speaking, he suddenly found two familiar figures not far away by the
window.
These two figures, one old and one young, are the Old man and grandchild he
saw when he was in Pollard’s office.
