Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 86

After Zhong Ruyi and the other two sold the last pot of braised food in the morning, they closed the shop and left with a cart. The things had been packed up yesterday and the sign had been hung up.

After traveling for more than an hour, the three finally arrived at Xinghua Village.

As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, Zhong Ruyi heard the voice of a child.

"Cuicui! Look, is that your grandma and aunt?"

A little girl pointed at Zhong Ruyi and two other people who had just entered the village, pulling a cart, and spoke to Cuicui who was squatting on the ground kneading mud.

Cuicui was originally very excited about pinching a flower, but when she heard this, she raised her head in surprise.

Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw her grandma and aunt, and her aunt was waving at her with a smile!

She threw down the mud flower in her hand, left a message, "Let's play tomorrow!" and ran away.

Cuicui ran and shouted, "Aunt! Grandma! Second Uncle!"

When she ran up to me, her face flushed with excitement, "Aunt! Grandma! You're finally back!"

Zhong Ruyi smoothed her messy hair and said with a smile, "Why are you running so fast?"

Cuicui smiled and called out "Second Uncle". Then she took her aunt's hand and whispered to her.

On the way back, they met other people from the village. They greeted them from time to time, and Zhong's mother even stopped to chat with them.

Zhong Ruyi could only go back first with her second brother Cuicui.

At the door, Shitou, Xiaohe and Tiedan were shooting birds under a tree with slingshots.

It was almost dark, and it was still winter so it would be strange to see birds. Yet the three children all looked serious.

I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of scaring the birds away.

"Xiaohe! Shitou! Tiedan! Look who's back?"

Cuicui shouted at the top of her lungs, and surprisingly, a bird actually flew away from the tree because of her shout.

Shitou was so angry. He waited for a long time and finally a bird came, but it was killed by his sister's shout!

His eyes were blazing with fire and he turned around to start an argument with his sister, but then he saw his aunt and uncle walking towards him.

Shitou pouted and immediately ran forward, "Aunt, look at my sister! We waited for a long time for a stupid bird to come, but my sister scared it away!"

Cui Cui refused to give in, "You are so cruel! The bird has grown so big with so much effort, but you want to kill it just for fun!"

Shitou felt a little ashamed and said in defense: "But I haven't hit it yet, right? You scared it away. I won't do that again in the future!"

The two children were quarreling loudly. Zhong Ruyi picked up Tiedan who came running over. Xiaohe also ran to his second brother and walked next to him.

Just then, my second sister-in-law came out to call the children back for dinner, and they met each other. She was so happy.

"You're back! I thought since you guys haven't been back this month, you'll probably be back in the next few days."

Unexpectedly, he came back today. Zhong Ruyi put Tiedan down and helped pull the cart into the yard.

When Mr. Zhong and the others heard the noise, they came out and were very happy to see them back.

"Why can't I see your mother?" Father Zhong couldn't help but ask his daughter after searching for his wife for a long time.

Zhong Ruyi knew that her father hadn't seen her mother for many days, so she didn't tease him like she did last time. She just said that her mother was chatting with someone outside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong's mother's voice came from behind him.

"Old man! Have you been drinking secretly while I'm away for so many days?"

Mr. Zhong smiled and quickly came to Mrs. Zhong, "No, no! You told me not to drink too much, so I didn't drink!"

Tiedan's childish voice rang out, "Grandma! Grandpa is lying! He drinks! He stinks!"

Mrs. Zhong's face suddenly fell.

Tiedan is too young to lie. It must be that the old man drank and lied to her that he didn't have any.

Mr. Zhong was wronged! He only drank twice in a month, and the old woman said it couldn't be more than three times.

"Tiedan! How dare you talk nonsense, kid! Boss! Take him in quickly!"

"Listen to me, old lady. I only drank twice! It's just that Tiedan saw it all just now. This kid is just talking nonsense!"

Mother Zhong glanced at him, thinking that he would not dare to drink. She had warned him so many times, fearing that he would drink too much and get upset.

Mr. Zhong actually has some stomach problems, and sometimes he feels uncomfortable when he drinks too much.

There is wine at home that is brewed by Zhong's mother using grain, but when Zhong's mother is at home, she will strictly control him and not let him drink it, or let him drink less.

She had explained it many times before going to town this time, fearing that he would forget it again and he would be the one who would suffer in the end.

The two were talking in the yard, and Zhong Ruyi and the others had already washed their hands and were ready to eat.

Fortunately, they came back just in time. My sister-in-law was still cooking. When she saw them coming back, she added more rice to simmer and fried two more dishes.

At the dinner table, the family was eating happily.

Mr. Zhong picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and gave it to Mrs. Zhong, and then picked up another piece with chopsticks and gave it to his daughter.

The second brother felt a little resentful. We hadn’t seen each other for a month, so why didn’t he get the same treatment?

The second sister-in-law smiled secretly, and seeing that he was really a little aggrieved, she picked up a piece of egg for him.

It’s so great, his wife is still the best and loves him!

The soup tonight is fish soup. The fish has been stewed into small pieces. The soup is milky white and tastes very sweet. She likes it very much.

After drinking it, she couldn't help but pick up a big spoon to scoop another bowl. During this time, her sleeve slipped down from her wrist, revealing the chicken blood vine bracelet on her wrist.

Maybe it’s because it’s night time, the bracelet looks darker and brighter than during the day.

After serving the soup, she put down the big spoon. As a result, the third brother suddenly said, "Little sister, your bracelet looks so familiar! I think I have seen it before."

"What are you talking about?" Zhong Ruyi pointed to the bracelet on her wrist. She didn't expect that her third brother had seen this bracelet. Could it be that Chen Dongzhi told him about it?

Zhong Laosan nodded. The bracelet looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment.

She was too embarrassed to say directly that it was a gift from Chen Dongzhi, and only she, her mother and her second brother knew about it.

Before she could think of how to answer, Zhong's mother put a piece of chicken feet into the bowl of the third brother and said, "Eat quickly! You go wash the dishes later!"

"Ah! I'm not the one who eats full last!" Zhong Laosan wailed and immediately forgot about the bracelet.

In the Zhong family, the last one to eat is usually the one who washes the dishes, but most of the time it is the eldest sister-in-law who eats last and then the dishes are left for her to wash.

This time, Zhong Laosan was assigned by Zhong's mother to wash the dishes, and she was happy to have some free time.

Zhong Laosan was washing the dishes while crying silently. Why was he always the one who got hurt? His mother asked him to wash the dishes for no reason. He was not the last one to finish eating.

Just as Zhong Laosan was secretly shedding tears, Tiedan suddenly ran in with a slingshot in his hand.

"Uncle, my slingshot is broken. Can I ask Uncle Dongzhi to fix it for me tomorrow?"
