Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Wen Rui was woken up by the alarm clock. He quickly reached out his hand to turn off the alarm before he was awake. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the time. At ten past six, he doesn't need to wholesale vegetables now, and he doesn't need to get up too early .

He looked up at Jiang Yueting in front of him, and he was relieved to see that the other party was still in a deep sleep.

This is the second winter he has spent in Huai City, and he still can't adapt to the cold and humid climate here.

Wen Rui got up lightly after being lazy in bed.

After washing, he went to the next door and knocked on the door: "Huo Qian gets up."

There is no response in it.

Wen Rui could only unscrew the door, the room was dark, and he could only vaguely see a big bulge on the bed, Huo Qian rolled himself up into a cicada pupa with the quilt, without even showing his head.

"Huo Qian? Get up, you have to go to self-study in the morning."

The other party hummed weakly to indicate that he knew, but he had no intention of getting up at all.

Wen Rui looked helplessly at the big bulge on the bed, so he had no choice but to pull the other person's quilt and dig him out of the bed.

Huo Qian's hair was messy, he squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Rui, nodded and said, "I...I...slowly."

"Get up and wash up quickly, and eat dumplings this morning." After Wen Rui finished speaking, he left his bedroom, washed his hands, and went to fetch the dumplings from the refrigerator.

Today is the winter solstice. Northerners are used to eating dumplings on this day. He made a lot of dumplings last night.

Huo Qian didn't dare to go back to sleep again. Although Wen Rui wasn't as skilled as Jiang Yueting in using martial arts against him, he was very persistent, and he couldn't exhaust him.

Wen Rui cooked a lot of dumplings and steamed some for Jiang Yueting.

Jiang Yueting likes to eat steamed ones, but he usually only tastes a few boiled ones.

After washing, Huo Qian squeezed into the kitchen and asked, "Are you ready?"

Last night Wen Rui was making dumplings while he and Jiang Yueting were doing their homework. He was hungry after smelling the smell, so Wen Rui cooked him some supper. It tasted very good.

There is another reason for him not to leave Wen Rui's house. He stays up late at night, and Wen Rui will cook him supper.

"Okay." Wen Rui filled a bowl full for him, "You go out first, I'll make a sauce for you."

"Thank you brother." Huo Qian said as he went out with a bowl, but as soon as he left the kitchen, he saw Jiang Yueting standing in pajamas in front of the bedroom and looking at him coldly.

Huo Qian smiled viciously, and said to Wen Rui in the kitchen: "Brother, your cooking skills are really good, I really like to eat."

"Ah? As long as you like it, hurry up and eat, don't be late. Here, Jiang." Wen Rui turned around and handed him the plate.

Huo Qian gloated and watched Jiang Yueting's face turn black. He found that this brat was very possessive. His name was Wen Rui brother, and Jiang Yueting was very dissatisfied.

Wen Rui also served himself a bowl of dumplings to eat. As soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Yueting got up, and his face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? It's only 06:30, why did you get up so early?"

Jiang Yueting looked away from Huo Qian, he walked to the bathroom, and said as he walked, "I need to pee."

Huo Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard him say this in a serious manner, and pretended to imitate Jiang Yueting with his voice.

Wen Rui was speechless: "...Hurry up and eat!"

He really feels like he's raising two young kids now.

Jiang Yueting closed the bathroom door with a "bang", strongly expressing his dissatisfaction with Huo Qian.

"Brother Wen, protect your weaknesses." Huo Qian looked aggrieved when he heard Wen Rui's fierceness, "He usually cheats on me, and you didn't help me."

Seeing that he was skinny and shameless, Wen Rui didn't know what to say, so he could only urge him to eat quickly.

It's almost [-]:[-], this master is not in a hurry, he looks anxious.

Huo Qian had a face of indifference, if he was late, he would be late, and he would not lose a piece of meat. The head teacher was very satisfied when he saw that he could go to morning self-study, and never cared about his being late.

"Okay, okay." Huo Qian rinsed his mouth after eating and went to get his bag. He usually fell asleep as soon as he finished his homework, and Wen Rui had to pack his schoolbag, "Brother Wen, I'm leaving." .”

"Go." After the other party left, Wen Rui knocked on the bathroom door, "Jiang Yueting, why have you been taking so long? Come out quickly, don't catch a cold."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party opened the door from the inside.

"Are you still asleep?"

"No. Get up."

After Jiang Yueting washed up, the steamed dumplings were ready.

Jiang Yueting was silent for a moment before entering the kitchen with a plate of steamed dumplings and a plate of sauce.

Wen Rui was at a loss: "Why?"

Jiang Yueting said coldly: "Don't eat the sauce he has eaten."

Wen Rui: "..."

-

The two set off to the station together. Now that the bus lines in Huaicheng are almost complete, Wen Rui doesn't have to ride a bicycle to work anymore.

Jiang Yueting still insisted on running in the morning, and Wen Rui could only run with him.

Wen Rui's hands and feet were warm when he ran to the station, but he was a little tired, and he was breathing heavily.

Jiang Yueting's breath was steady after running too much. He took a thermos cup from his schoolbag and gave it to Wen Rui: "Water?"

Wen Rui waved his hand: "No, I've caught a cold these two days."

Jiang Yueting frowned and told him: "Drink more water, and drink a glass when you are free." Wen Rui would forget to drink water when he was too busy, and he couldn't drink a glass in a day, so he only went to drink when he was thirsty when he was helping others at night.

Seeing that he "educated" herself, Wen Rui nodded in agreement: "Yes, I know."

After sending people to the car, Wen Rui waited for a while and then got his own bus.

When he walked into the restaurant, Zhang Huaibin just came out with noodles, saw that he was tightly wrapped, and said as usual: "How cold are you?"

Wen Rui took off her scarf and gloves, and said with a smile, "It's really cold."

Li Mincheng would help serve the cashier in the store after delivering the food every day. He was wiping the table, and couldn't help answering a sentence: "Xiao Wen is from the north, right? It must be colder than ours here? Why does it feel colder than ours?" Also afraid of the cold."

"It's different. There is heating in the north, and it's very dry." The air conditioner was turned on in the noodle shop, Wen Rui took off his down jacket, and put the clothes, gloves, etc. into the cabinet under the counter.

Zhang Huaibin watched him change into an apron and said, "Hurry up, go cook wontons."

"Well, have you packed it yet?"

"It's all wrapped, you just cook it."

Now there are more types of breakfast. Wen Rui can cook small wontons. The ingredients are prepared by himself. The soup is also cooked with shrimp skin and seaweed mixed with some fish. It tastes very fresh. Everyone likes it very much.

When the breakfast guests dispersed at nine o'clock, Li Mincheng drove a tricycle back from the vegetable market to buy ingredients.

He couldn't stay idle by himself, and he took all these tasks on himself, so the old man had to teach him how to pick beef and materials, and now the other party is very proficient.

"Selling dumplings today?" Li Mincheng put the vegetables on the table, and Wen Rui asked him to buy more green onions, pork, and dumpling wrappers.

"That's right, isn't today the winter solstice? Shouldn't you be eating dumplings?"

Li Mincheng's eyes widened: "...No, we eat glutinous rice balls."

Zhang Huaibin interjected: "It's okay, make some preparations, they will eat if they want to eat, and if they don't eat, we will cook it ourselves. Besides, it's no different from wonton, just enough ingredients."

The two of them were busy, chopping dumpling stuffing to make dumplings, and Wen Rui cooked soup, which was the same as wonton soup.

He cooked a grass carp, cut the meat into thin strips, put it in a colander, and cooked it with seaweed and shrimp skins, and he would skim off the fish meat after cooking.

The fish is quite cheap, and Uncle Li also bought it from Qingshan Town. Qingshan Town has a lot of mountains and rivers, and the fishing industry is also prosperous. The price of buying directly from fishermen is not high.

Wen Rui told Huo Qiming that he wanted to contract a fish pond, and he could produce and sell it himself, and the other party said to help him get in touch.

A lot of dumplings were sold at noon, and Wen Rui steamed the rest for their lunch.

Today is Thursday, Wen Rui didn't have to go to make up lessons for the children, so he just stayed in the store and continued to work.

There were no guests on the second floor, and Jiang Yueting was doing homework upstairs.

There were fewer people coming to eat at eight o'clock. Wen Rui was chatting with Zhang Huaibin and Li Mincheng when he saw four tall men walk in through the glass door. He held an iron rod in his hand.

Wen Rui was taken aback when he saw them. He had an ominous premonition. Thanks to Wen Guoqing, he was used to seeing many rogues and people on the road, and he was naturally sensitive to these people. Looking at the temperament of those people, he felt that The visitor is not good.

The leader raised his brows and asked in a sly way, "Boss, what do you eat here?"

Wen Rui could only greet them. The other party ordered a lot of dishes from the menu, all of which were expensive, and bought two more beers.

Some people squinted at him.

Wen Rui saw it, and kept his face calm. Now he can be sure that these people are here to find fault.

"Wait a moment." He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, so as not to let the other party find fault.

"Go, go, I'm starving to death!" someone yelled.

Wen Rui was not annoyed, he went to the kitchen, and called Zhang Huaibin and Li Mincheng in by the way.

Li Mincheng also didn't think these people were good at trouble, he frowned and said, "Why do I think these people are here to find trouble?"

"Uncle Li, why don't you help me take Yue Ting home. They're going to make trouble, and it's too dangerous for children."

"Then I'm leaving, how many helpers?" Li Mincheng was a little unhappy, "Let the baby go back by itself?"

Wen Rui also knew that Jiang Yueting could go home by himself, so he hesitated and nodded: "Okay, you go and tell him, just say that I forgot to add dog food to Pangpang, and let him go back to feed the dog first. Don't be too serious, he If you know, you won’t want to leave.”

"Okay, I'll call him." Li Mincheng said and went out.

Zhang Huaibin said, "Are they thinking too much? Maybe they don't mean that."

"Well, I just feel, whether it's true or not, let's make some preparations first." Wen Rui was a little blocked, he always felt that something would happen, "You stay in the kitchen later, don't go out, if you hear them making trouble, don't go out." Call the police, don't worry about anything else."

The nearest police station is only five or six minutes away by car, so it should be in time.

Zhang Huaibin frowned: "Then can you handle it?"

"Anyway, you just don't want to go out when the time comes. At your age, you can't be bumped."

Zhang Huaibin knew that he couldn't help and wouldn't cause trouble for him, but his complexion was not very good, and he was afraid that something might happen to Wen Rui.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Huo Qiming called me. Mother Huo asked him to send thick clothes to Huo Qian. It should be here soon. There are four of them and three of us. What if they think that we are too many to cause trouble? If not, do it."

"You want to fight?"

Wen Rui smiled wryly: "It's not that I want to fight, I can't do anything if they want to. It's okay, don't worry too much, what if we think too much? Let's cook first."

Zhang Huaibin went to chop vegetables with a heavy heart.

Wen Rui took the time to send Huo Qiming a message - four people came to the store, looking like they were here to find fault.

Huo Qiming was driving, he glanced at the text message from him, but when he saw this sentence, he immediately took the phone and replied a text message - I went.

He stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom and waited until he was near the school before slowing down.

After hearing Li Mincheng's words, Jiang Yueting packed up his things and prepared to leave. When he passed by the first floor, he also noticed the people at that table.

Someone was staring in the direction of the kitchen, and the iron rod in his hand was hitting the ground repeatedly.

He paused, frowning and looked at the four people.

Someone noticed his gaze, pointed at him and cursed: "What are you looking at, kid! Be careful and hit you!"

Li Mincheng quickly pushed him away: "What are you doing? Go home and feed the dog. Pangpang is probably making trouble at home again."

Jiang Yueting was silent, he turned his head and left the shop.
