Back to the ancient restaurant

Because Li Zian used money to deal with Zhang's case from top to bottom, a verdict was soon reached.Although it has been more than ten years, but the facts are solid, and there are witnesses, Zhang finally revealed his guilt under great psychological pressure.Murdering parents and children and fleeing slaves, the impact of Zhang's case was too bad, and he was finally sentenced to death.

Li Zian told his father about the matter verbatim, seeing his face as dark as a pan, Li Zian understood his feeling at this moment without even thinking about it.But there is a price to be paid for doing anything, and Li Zi'an does not sympathize with him.Instead, what he wanted was for Dad to learn that lesson.

"The execution will be executed in three days. At least we will have a meeting with our relatives. Do you want to send her there for the last time?"

Seeing that his father was silent, Li Zian didn't take it seriously, and helped his father mix a glass of honey water, and delivered it to him. "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't go. It is said that she is not a very good person and hooked up with many men in the town. It would be embarrassing for us to go."

At this moment, Father Li couldn't understand Li Zian's meaning. He looked sideways at Li Zian, gritted his teeth and asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

Hearing his father's angry questioning, Li Zian couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you hear it? But, I really want to say that my father's vision is really bad." Getting angry, Li Zian continued: "Father, have you ever thought about my mother?"

Li Zian's question made the old man's face stiffen, and he couldn't swear when the words came to his lips.

"Since she married into our Li family, my mother has given birth to children for you, and cared for the elderly for you. For you and for our family, she has almost broken her heart inside and out. Have you ever thought of her in your heart? Okay? I don’t think so, but if you cared about my mother, you and Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t be where you are today.”

"In the past, I always respected you in my heart. I thought you were the pillar of our family, the heaven of our family. Although you have many shortcomings, I always felt that my father, the Gu family, was not as merciful as Sanbo. I I think you are the best father in the world. I promised that I would be like you in the future, but the reality finally gave me a slap in the face."

"Father, do you know how I felt when I found you and Mrs. Zhang at the entrance of the alley that night? I feel that it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky has fallen. Later you said that you are all right, and I lied to myself. But no Thinking of..." At this point, Li Zi'an looked at the complicated father with a wry smile and didn't say anything else.

But what happened next, Li Zi'an didn't say anything, and the father knew in his heart that the secret relationship between him and Mrs. Zhang finally completely chilled the son's heart.Father Li was lying on the bed watching the back of his son leaving, Father Li finally couldn't help but his eyes were red, and he wanted to slap himself hard with regret in his heart.

……

Three days later, Mrs. Zhang was executed at Caishikou, Xiangyang Town.

On this day, Li Zian leaned on the door of the shop with his hands in his hands and looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.

I thought that such a small town in the south would not have such a heavy snowfall, but I didn't expect that the weather this year was abnormal, and the first snow after winter was so crazy.Calculating the time, Li Hongshen should have arrived in the capital. Thinking of what he had told him that night, he secretly prayed that his stepmother would not make things difficult for him.

While thinking about it, a gust of cold wind blew past, just pouring into Li Zi'an's neck.The sour feeling almost made Li Zi'an poke, he quickly jumped back from the door, closed the door, and sat beside Xiao Bao to warm up for a while before he felt warmer.

"Uncle Li, are you cold?" Li Xiaobao, who was wearing rabbit fur ear warmers, looked up at Li Zian, whose nose was red from the cold, and asked.

Because of malnutrition, Xiaobao looked a little thin.Since Mrs. Li came to help in the shop, Li Xiaobao finally put on some weight after everyone worked hard to feed her.Perhaps it was because of the long time of warming, Li Xiaobao's chubby little face was flushed, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at Li Zi'an, and the small and cute Li Zi'an's heart melted.

"Well, uncle is a bit cold." After finishing speaking, Li Zian sniffed in response to Jing'er.

Seeing this, Li Xiaobao boldly handed his hand mug to Li Zian, and found that his hand mug was a bit small for Li Zian.Looking down at his skirt, he said to Li Zian with a generous face, "Uncle Li, put your hand on my stomach, it will warm me up quickly."

Hearing this, Li Zi'an couldn't stand it anymore, hugged the serious Li Xiaobao and laughed.Kissed Li Xiaobao's confused face, squeezed a roasted peanut beside the charcoal basin and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's okay, Uncle Li will soon feel better holding Xiaobao."

Sister Li, who was cleaning the table at the side, glanced at the large and small ones beside the charcoal basin, and shook her head helplessly.

After a while, the wind and snow grew stronger.Uncle Yang and Li San'er pushed a cart of firewood to the door of the shop, wiped off the snowflakes on their bodies, opened the door and ran in.

"Hey, it can be regarded as getting this car of firewood back, otherwise our shop will be miserable."

Since the weather turned cold, the work on the pier has gradually decreased. Li San'er came to the shop to help every day when he had nothing to do.He didn't expect such a heavy snowfall, but Li Zi'an completely forgot about the firewood gathering, and it was Sister-in-law Li who finally mentioned it.

But it was too late to buy, so Li San'er thought that there were many dead trees in the valley near his home, so he called Uncle Yang to pull a cart back in the wind and snow.

Seeing that the two came back with a load of firewood, Li Zi'an hurriedly put down Li Xiaobao and let the two of them enter the house to warm up. He, Sister-in-law Li, and Mother Li piled the firewood on the car into the small warehouse at the back.After everything was packed, it was time for lunch.Li Zi'an looked up at Daxue who had no intention of stopping at all, and motioned for Uncle Yang to close the door.

"No one will come to eat in this horrible weather, so we can just close the door and rest for a day."

Hearing what Li Zian said, everyone nodded.There is no one on the road in this weather, let alone eating.

"What do you guys want to eat, I'll do it." Mother Li asked while patting the sawdust on her body.

"It's too cold this day, so it's suitable to eat something warm. Mother Li will help make some noodles, and sister-in-law Li will help wash some vegetables, and then some slices of mutton and beef. Eat shabu-shabu."

Li Zian has also seen shabu-shabu in other restaurants, but the taste is bland.But the weather is extremely cold, and it is most suitable to eat some hot food to warm up the body.So when Li Zian was frying the bottom ingredients, when the chili was put into the pot, the smell was stimulated by the hot oil, and everyone in the room started to sneeze while covering their noses.

Li Zi'an listened to the sound of sneezing one after another, and grinned exceptionally brightly.However, after the soup base was ready, Li Zian was worried that they would not be used to it, so he finally helped them simmer a pot of clear soup base with chicken soup.

The unusual shabu-shabu unexpectedly suits Li San'er's appetite. Seeing him wiping his sweat while wiping his chopsticks, Li Zian poured all the beef on the plate into it.

"How is it? Is the taste okay?"

"It's delicious, but it's a bit too spicy. It would be better if the taste is lighter." Uncle Yang said while holding a bowl.

"I think it's pretty good, but it needs to be spicy enough to be enjoyable." Li San'er couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as she spoke, which made everyone in the circle laugh out loud.

……

After everyone finished their meal, they all held a cup of strong tea to clear their mouths.Mrs. Li sat in front of the charcoal basin, doing needlework and chatting with Mrs. Li at the same time.Women's topics cannot be separated from children and housework.Li Zian felt that it was boring after listening to it, so he walked to the counter, opened the account book on the desktop and looked at it, only to find that it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year.

Looking up at the few people in the hall who had worked hard with him for several months, Li Zi'an silently thought about what kind of courtesy he would give to everyone.

For a qualified boss, red envelopes are naturally inevitable.In addition, meat and vegetables are expensive during the new year, so it is better to prepare more for them to take home, which is both face-saving and affordable.

After Li Zian made up his mind, he combined the accounts of the past few months.Previously, a lot of money was spent because of Zhang's affairs, but at this time, there was only a profit of more than 30 taels left in the account.After the red envelopes of two taels of silver per person, and then prepare some etiquette, it is estimated that there will not be much left.

Although because of his sister-in-law, Li Zian didn't really want to go back.But I haven't seen Mrs. Li for a long time, and I always miss her.There are also Wen Shu and Wen Yue, who haven't seen each other for so long, they should have grown a lot taller...

After what happened to Mrs. Zhang, the old man has become a lot more decadent, and even his bones are not as good as before.On the [-]th, he fell ill for [-] days. Brother Li and Second Brother Li discussed it and decided to let him quit his job in the restaurant and go home to take care of himself.

Li Zian also went back to see him once during the period, knowing that he was suffering from a heart disease, he was relieved.But because of Zhang's relationship, the two eventually separated.

After thinking about it, Li Zi'an still decided to go back for the New Year, no matter what, he has not been separated from that family, and his parents are still alive, so it would be unreasonable not to go back.In addition, Li Hongshen is not here, and celebrating the New Year by himself is always a little deserted.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Li Zian saw that the business of the shop was not as good as before.After distributing the red envelopes and gifts prepared in advance to everyone, he simply closed the shop and went home.Because Uncle Yang was single, Li Zi'an entrusted Li's Mansion to him, rented a carriage by himself, and drove a cart full of gifts to Li's Village.

When he was about to reach Lijia Village, Li Zian saw a woman in bloated clothes walking in front of him.Hurry to remind the driver to be careful, don't slip and hit someone.

After hearing the sound of the carriage behind, the woman in front hurriedly retreated to the side of the road and waited for the carriage to pass first.When the woman turned her head, she happened to meet Li Zi'an who was on the carriage.Li Zi'an vaguely felt that the person looked familiar, and it took him a long time to realize that the woman was Shen Linghua, the "village flower" who had divorced him earlier.

This week's bye is QAQ, crying
