Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 127

Zhong Ruyi pulled Shitou away. She brought Shitou, who was crying like a cat, back to her room, asked him to sit down beside the bed, and went outside to fetch a basin of water to wipe his face.

Shitou tilted his face up and let her wipe Zhongji's face with a cloth.

Suddenly, he asked, "Aunt, am I not my mother's child?"

Zhong Ruyi's movements were gentle. After wiping Shitou's face, she put the cloth into the basin, then turned around and gently touched Shitou's head.

"Nonsense, you look so much like your father, how can you not be his biological child?"

Shitou was in a very low mood and looked listless. "Why is mom always so impatient with me? She is so nice to my sister and Tiedan, but she doesn't seem to like me at all."

Seeing that he was in a really bad mood, Zhong Ruyi thought for a moment and took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the space.

She pretended to take it out from the quilt, and immediately took it out and placed it in front of Shitou, "Come, auntie will treat you to some candy, don't be sad."

She really didn't know how to comfort Shi Tou. After all, she was an orphan in her previous life, and she also wanted to know why her parents abandoned her.

Shitou took the package handed to him by his aunt with a confused look on his face, and the packaging bag made a rustling sound in his hand.

He asked in confusion, "Aunt, what is this?"

Zhong Ruyi said with a smile, "This is milk candy. This bag is all for you. If Tiedan asks you for it, you can ask him to apologize to you and then give him another one. One for each apology."

"This is all yours, you decide for yourself, if he doesn't apologize then give it to him!"

Shitou whispered, "Why should Tiedan apologize? Didn't I give him the slingshot just now?"

Zhong Ruyi looked at him lovingly, "But he made you sad. If he makes you sad, then you should ask him to apologize. Only then you will feel better."

Shitou went out of the door in a daze, holding a bag of White Rabbit milk candy. Just then, Tiedan ran over with his hand held high, with snack crumbs hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother! Brother! This is for you!" He opened his palm, revealing a piece of sesame cake, and sesame seeds hung at the corners of his mouth.

Shitou originally wanted to be aloof and ignore Tiedan, but when he looked at him with his head tilted, he softened his heart.

I couldn't help but take the sesame cake from his hand and started eating it, while Tiedan stared at the packaging bag in his hand and asked curiously, "Brother, what is this?"

Seeing that his brother was about to finish the cake in his hand, he took out another piece from his clothes.

Finally, Shitou finished the cake in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he took out the candy given by his aunt and opened it.

Two children gathered around a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother! The packaging of this candy is so unique! It must be delicious!"

"I think so too! But you can't eat too much, or your mother will say you have bad teeth!"

"Brother, give me another one!"

"I'll give you another one, and the rest should be left for my sister and Xiaohe."

When Zhong Ruyi came out after packing her clothes, she saw that the two children were back to normal.

She couldn't help but sigh, children's anger always comes and goes quickly! They made up so quickly. When they were angry, they wanted to hit each other a few times, but after making up, it was as if they had never quarreled.

When Cuicui came back, she was sweating profusely. She threw herself on Zhong Ruyi and said, "Aunt, why don't you go and watch the fishing? Xiaozhu and I just watched for a long time and caught a lot of fish!"

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what to say. The child had just gone out with his eldest brother and sister-in-law to wait for them to come back, but he ran away again as soon as he got home. She wondered where he had gone, but it turned out that he had gone to watch fishing.

There is a river of moderate size at the entrance of Xinghua Village. The village chief organizes fishing trips in the river twice a year, once before the New Year and once in autumn.

She was a little curious. When she came back just now, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the village. "Are you still fishing now?"

She wanted to go and take a look, but she didn't know if they had finished fishing.

Cuicui was very excited. "Aunt, today is the last day. I heard from Xiaozhu's father that if we finish fishing today, we will have to wait until next year! Let's go and take a look."

Her face flushed with excitement. "My uncle and Uncle Dongzhi are here too! They all took off their clothes to pull the fishing nets. It's so hard!"

Zhong Ruyi made a prompt decision, "Let's go, let's go now!"

She didn't go there to see nudity, she just wanted to see fishing.

The two of them rushed all the way to the small river at the entrance of the village. Mother Zhong had just finished sweeping the chicken manure from the chicken coop and came out when she saw only the backs of the two.

"...What are you running to do in such a hurry?" she muttered.

Just when I was thinking of talking to my eldest daughter-in-law one day, I saw her coming out of her room with a bag of pastries in her hand, and it seemed that she had already opened it and eaten it.

Mother Zhong's face darkened. Tiedan had just been taken away by her, and now the package of pastries had been opened. She must have opened it and given it to Tiedan in order to coax him.

It’s not that she feels sorry for such a small amount of pastries. Now that her family is earning money, life is naturally better than before. She can buy whatever she wants to eat.

What made her angry was that both children were there, but the eldest daughter-in-law only called Tiedan in and gave him only pastries to eat. Shitou was also her son, so how could she not see that?

Li Guihua didn't notice her mother-in-law's expression. She was holding pastries in her hand. When she heard Cuicui's voice, she wanted to call her in to eat, but when she opened the door, Cuicui was gone again.

Forget it, I’ll just wait for Cuicui to come back before giving it to her.

As for Shitou, he is not a greedy person, so he would not care about the cakes. He would just eat them if they were given to his sister and brother. He would not make a fuss. This has happened before, and he didn't say anything.

"Mom! What are you standing for?" Li Guihua asked with a smile. Seeing that her mother-in-law's expression was not good, she thought she was feeling unwell and asked with concern, "Are you too tired from traveling today? I see that you don't look well."

Mother Zhong sneered, "Old lady, let me ask you, is the second boy your son?"

Li Guihua was confused and didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant by asking this question. "Mom, of course Shitou is my child. It's not easy to be pregnant for ten months!"

"If that's the case, I don't understand. They are all your flesh, so why don't you care about the stones?"

"Mom! How could I? My palms and backs are made of flesh. How could I not feel pain from the stone?"

Li Guihua felt that she was very wronged. She treated her children equally on weekdays. Although she would help Tiedan when Tiedan and Shitou quarreled sometimes, wasn't that because Tiedan was still young?

Mother Zhong stared at her coldly, "Shi Tou is playing at the door now, give him the cake in your hand!"

"...Mom, if you give everything to Shitou, Cuicui will have nothing to eat." Li Guihua said hesitantly.

Seeing her mother-in-law's increasingly hostile look, she quickly said, "I'll take it now! Mother, don't be angry!"

She took the pastries and went out, leaving Mother Zhong standing there with her teeth itching with anger.

This eldest son's wife is good in every way except that she is a little confused sometimes. She gave birth to all three kids, so how could she ignore Shi Tou's feelings like that?

She favors her youngest daughter, but she treats her three sons equally.

If she continues to be so partial, sooner or later Shitou will become alienated from her!
