Back to the ancient restaurant

Li Zian didn't know when Papa Li left.When Li's mother went to clean up the table in the backyard, there was a silver dime and thirty big bills on the table.Li Zi'an looked at the silver coins and thirty big money that Mama Li brought over with a smile, and put them back into his pocket.

When he closed the shop and went home, Li Zian asked Zhao Yang to take a detour to the house that his father rented.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, Xiaomeng opened the door.Looking at the uncle who hadn't seen him for a long time standing outside the door, Xiao Meng wanted to call someone, but was stopped by Li Zian.Give Xiaomeng the copper coins and silver dime in his hand.Li Zi'an asked in a low voice a few words about his family's recent situation, and he was relieved knowing that everything was fine.

"As long as there is nothing at home, just go to the food shop and call me. Do you know the place? The money I gave you just now will be handed over to your grandma when it is convenient for you." Seeing Xiaomeng nodding, Li Zian smiled at her .

After instructing Xiaomeng a few more words, Li Zi'an waved her hand and turned away.Li Wenming's voice came from the courtyard, Xiaomeng, who was in a daze, responded and closed the door after hearing it.

When he got home, Li Hongshen was sitting at his desk reviewing his books.Because the weather was cold, Li Hongshen had already put on a thin jacket when he was studying at night.Through the window, looking at Li Hongshen's fair side face under the dim light, Li Zian's boredom disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xu Shi heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, and Li Hongshen put down the book in his hand and stood up.Seeing Li Zian who was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, he smiled at him and walked out of the room.

"Why did you come back so late today?"

Li Hong took a deep look at the thin clothes on his body, reached out and touched the back of Li Zian's hands, and found that the other's hands were a little cold, so he pulled him to the bedroom.

"It's cold, bring extra clothes when you go to the store, it's not a joke if you catch a cold."

Listening to Li Hongshen's words, Li Zian nodded.

Li Zian was holding a cup of hot tea, seeing that Li Hongshen didn't intend to rest yet.Knowing that he still wanted to read more books, he urged him to go to the study.

After being busy in the shop for so long during the day, Li Zian was really tired.After washing up, he was going to sleep for a while, but he tossed and turned on the bed for nearly half an hour without any sleepiness.Recalling what happened during the day in his mind, Li Zi'an was extremely depressed.Seeing that the light in Li Hongshen's study was still on, he simply stopped sleeping, sat up and thought carefully about the way to go next.

Li Zian originally wanted to do brunch together.However, the reliable manpower was really limited, so he stopped thinking about breakfast.Although Mama Li and Uncle Yang are capable, they are getting older, and their energy and physical strength are far from those of young people.The store can still be maintained normally, but if one person is busy, there are only three people, and the manpower is indeed stretched.So it is necessary to recruit one or two more people, but this person...

For some reason, Li Zi'an suddenly thought of Li San'er.

Although he was in a hurry to find a doctor for Li San'er that day, it could be seen that his house was tidy and tidy. Obviously his wife was not a sloppy person.It's just that Li San'er's child is still young, and Li San'er is reluctant to let his wife come out to work, but it's hard to say.

In fact, the second sister-in-law Li and the old lady Li are excellent candidates, but it is a pity that they have been disturbed by the elder sister-in-law, so now they can only choose someone else.But there is no rush for this kind of thing, we can only take one step at a time.

Li Zian leaned against the bed rail and sighed leisurely, and saw that the light in Li Hongshen's study was off out of the corner of his eyes, he sat up straight and prepared to get out of bed.However, as soon as he lifted the quilt, Li Hongshen walked in, looking at Li Zian who was still asleep with a surprised expression.

"Why haven't you slept yet? Are you not tired after working so long during the day?" Li Hongshen untied his belt, took off his outer robe and hung it on the hanger in front of the bed.

"Maybe I was sleepy from walking, and I couldn't fall asleep for a while."

Li Zian looked up and watched Li Hongshen change into his pajamas, and swallowed his saliva when he saw his fat-free body.Seeing Li Hongshen sitting on the bed, Li Zian hastily propped himself up and moved in, giving him the warm place he had just been.After Li Hongshen lay down, he stretched out his hand to stop him in his arms, and ran his fingers along Li Hong's dark crow-colored long hair.

"Are you worried?"

The two have been together for a long time, and they have already figured out each other's temperament and habits.Knowing that Li Zian liked to touch his hair whenever he had something on his mind, Li Hongshen couldn't help but ask him when he saw him like this.

"I don't have anything on my mind, I just think that Mama Li and Uncle Yang are getting older, and they will be too late to get up early and late at night. So I'm thinking about recruiting a few people to help."

Li Zian told Li Hongshen about his plans and concerns one by one. Seeing how he was trying to listen carefully, he knew that it would not be easy for him to stay in the academy all day, and there was less than a year before Qiu Wei. The pressure on Li Hongshen was not much lighter than his own.So he slowly lowered his voice, patted Li Hongshen's shoulder with his right hand, and saw him close his eyes after a while.

Li Zian lightly pecked him on the forehead, got up and blew out the candle beside the bed, and then got into bed.

……

Because he had the idea of ​​asking Li San'er's wife, and knowing that he would come back to the shop from time to time, Li Zi'an kept an eye on Li San'er's whereabouts.It wasn't until noon on the third day that Li Zi'an waited for Li San'er who came to eat.Li Zian hurriedly took the spoon from Li's mother, and before Li San'er could order, Li Zian helped fill a bowl full of all kinds of meat and vegetables.

Since Li San's daughter-in-law recovered from her illness, Li San'er took a few brothers under his command to find a job at the dock, and with a lot of strength, he could earn dozens of dollars a day.Because the food shop is cheap and delicious, Li San'er basically brings his brothers to eat at the shop at noon every day.

It's just that Li Zi'an is usually busy in the back kitchen, and occasionally meets each other and just nods.Li Zi'an took the initiative to help him with the meal, thinking in his heart that Li Zi'an had encountered some difficulties, the expression on Li San'er's face also became serious.

"Did Li Xianggong encounter any difficulties?"

Seeing that Li San'er misunderstood, Li Zian hurriedly waved to him.He helped him carry the vegetable bowl and sat down at a table in the corner.

"Brother Li misunderstood, but I do want to ask you for help."

Hearing this, Li San'er put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "If Mr. Li has something to say, just say it."

"Thanks to everyone's care, the business of my shop is still good. The two aunts and uncles who help in the shop are old and can't keep ordering them around. So, I would like to ask Brother Li, if it is possible, can my sister-in-law come to help .The salary is [-] yuan a month, and two meals can be included in addition."

Li San'er was really moved when he heard Li Zi'an's words.However, thinking about the fact that my child is still young, if the wife comes to help, the child will not be taken care of... For a moment, Li San'er couldn't help but hesitate.

"Yes, yes, but Li Xianggong also knows that there is still a child in my family, and I am afraid of causing trouble to you, Li Xianggong."

Li Zi'an understood Li San'er's difficulty, and quickly said: "You can bring the child here, anyone in the store who is free can help to watch for a while."

Seeing what Li Zi'an said, Li San'er didn't have any worries, so he nodded and agreed immediately.At dawn the next day, he carried the child and brought Mrs. Li to the shop.

Seeing the family of three cuddling together, Li Zian hurriedly opened the door to let the three of them in, and made a charcoal basin from the kitchen at the back to keep the three of them warm.

Perhaps it was because of hard work, Mrs. Li looked a little thin, and although the clothes on her body were shabby, they were very clean.Then look at the child's clothes, which may have been changed from adult clothes, and some places have been worn white.

Seeing Li Zi'an looking at herself uncontrollably, Sister Li took a step back in embarrassment.At this time, Li Zian realized that he was too rude, and quickly apologized to others, and then told his sister-in-law Li the conditions that he told Li San'er yesterday.

Sister-in-law Li didn't have much impression of Li Zian, but she knew from her husband that he saved her life, and she was always grateful to him.Unexpectedly, the grace of saving my life has not been repaid, and I found a job for myself in the blink of an eye, how could Mrs. Li not be grateful.

"Sister-in-law Li, what do you want?"

Listening to Li Zi'an asking her own opinion, Sister Li nodded hurriedly, feeling that this was inappropriate, and then shook her head again.

"It's already very good, thank you, Mr. Li."

"Then Sister-in-law Li goes back and prepares, and she can come to work tomorrow morning." Looking at the child in Li San'er's arms, Li Zi'an smiled at him, and then said: "The child is still young, and Sister-in-law Li doesn't need to come so early , just come here at the hour of every day.”

Seeing the child staring at him with big eyes, Li Zi'an couldn't help poking his little hand holding Li San'er's skirt.Sensing that his hands were a bit cold, and remembering the milk that Zhao Yang brought over just now, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the back kitchen under the puzzled eyes of several people.After a while, Li Zi'an came out with a bowl of hot milk and put it on the table in front of Li San'er.

"It's quite cold, this is a newly bought milk|milk, give the child some to warm up."

Li Hongshen likes the taste of milk. In the middle of the morning, Li Zian would take time to warm up a bowl of hot milk and send it to Li Hongshen to the gate of the academy quietly, so as to supplement his nutrition.Therefore, there is usually a can in the shop.Li Hongshen couldn't finish drinking so much every day, and they usually did the rest for them.

The price of milk is so high, how can Mrs. Li not know, seeing such a big bowl of milk | for the child to drink, Mrs. Li is about to refuse immediately, but seeing the eager eyes of the child, she finally swallowed the words with red eyes.

Seeing her red eyes, Li Zian smiled and put the spoon into the child's hand, patted his head and said softly, "Drink it quickly, uncle put sugar in it, it's so sweet."

The child still hesitated, looked back at his parents, saw his father nodding to him, then thanked Li Zi'an with a spoon, and took a small sip from the bowl.

Li Zi'an looked at the child in front of him, and nodded secretly. If Sister-in-law Li can teach such a sensible child, her character will naturally not be bad.Ask this kind of person to help in the shop, and he will worry less in the future.In the future, when Mrs. Li can take care of herself, he can concentrate on accompanying Li Hongshen. After all, it is only a few months away from Qiu Wei, so Li Hongshen can't be distracted by him anymore.
