Back to the ancient restaurant

As soon as Li Zi'an's shop opened, it was 'complained' by regular customers from the academy and nearby.Li Zian smiled at everyone, and everyone asked Mama Li to add a bowl of sweet soup for everyone for free.After finally calming down the 'public anger', Li Zian wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to go back to the kitchen, but was attracted by the familiar figure at the door.

Looking at Huang Zhiyuan, who had gained weight again after Yue Yu hadn't seen him, Li Zian hurriedly stopped in his tracks.Before he could say hello, Huang Zhiyuan wrinkled his face and raised his legs across the threshold with some difficulty, walking straight towards Li Zian.

"What's the matter? I haven't seen you for more than a month. Why did you look so sad when we first met?"

Listening to Li Zian's words, Huang Zhiyuan pouted.Li Zian followed his hint and looked back, only to see a person behind Huang Zhiyuan's bloated body.At first glance, that person was similar to Huang Zhiyuan, but when he looked at his age, he knew his identity without even thinking about it.Just looking at Huang Zhiyuan's figure and Huang's father's skinny appearance, Li Zi'an really couldn't imagine how Huang Zhiyuan was fed so fat.

"This is your father?" Although he knew in his heart that his guess might be right, Li Zi'an's tone still had a bit of suspicion unconsciously, seeing the huge difference in body size between the two.

Huang Zhiyuan turned his round head and looked behind him, seeing his old man smiling at him, he turned his head and nodded weakly at Li Zian.

"Don't doubt it, it is indeed my father. Hey, I'm hungry, is there anything delicious?"

Hearing this, Li Zian hurriedly greeted Huang's father. Hearing Huang Zhiyuan's question, he pointed to the steaming dishes that had just come out of the pot, and said, "Choose what you want to eat. There are still hot dishes in the pot." There is sweet soup, let Mama Li serve it for you later." After speaking, Li Zi'an turned to Father Huang and said with a smile, "I don't know what you like to eat when we meet for the first time. Uncle can follow Brother Huang to have a look first. If you don't agree Appetite, I'll make it for you again."

Huang's father waved his hands with a smile, followed his son's example and ordered a meal, and found a corner table with Huang Zhiyuan and sat down.

Huang Zhiyuan filled his stomach full of wind and clouds, and saw that his father was still eating in a leisurely manner.After talking to him, he plunged into Li Zian's kitchen, pulled up the small stool in front of the stove, put away his clothes and sat down.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy to start class?" Li Zian asked Huang Zhiyuan while he was busy.

Listening to Li Zian's words, Huang Zhiyuan pulled his face and shook his head.

"No, you said that I'm such an adult, and my father has to follow me when I come to Huangshi Town for school. The journey is less than two days, can I lose it on the way?"

Li Zi'an had already figured out the situation of Huang Zhiyuan's family.Although Huang Zhiyuan was a little sympathetic to the feelings of the elders, it was really embarrassing to think about it in another way.

"The old man's mind is not always like this. When I go back to celebrate the New Year this time, my mother is afraid that I will not be able to eat and live outside, so I almost put the house on wheels and push it here."

Li Zian's descriptions made Huang Zhiyuan finally smile, and reached out to pick up a piece of firewood from the ground and stuffed it into the stove. Huang Zhiyuan thought of Li Hongshen, and asked, "When will Brother Li come over? The day after tomorrow, the master will probably give a formal lecture."

"His family is far away, and I don't know when I can make it back. But he has a smart mind, and it won't hurt to miss a day or two."

Thinking of Li Hongshen's first-class results every time, Huang Zhiyuan nodded approvingly.The two of them chatted casually, and unknowingly brought the topic to Hong Yang.

According to Huang Zhiyuan, after Hong Yang returned to Linchuan, his whole body seemed to be overly frightened, and his spirit was a little abnormal.

Li Zian's hand for cutting vegetables paused for a moment, and then returned to normal.Thinking about the aggressive appearance of the other party back then, Li Zi'an felt no guilt at all.If Hong Yang had not taken the initiative to provoke him back then, Li Zi'an would not have dealt with him badly, and now he is completely to blame for his fall.

Seeing that Li Zian didn't react when he heard this, he slowly remembered the unhappiness between the two of them before.Huang Zhiyuan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and when he looked up and saw that there was no displeasure on Li Zian's face, he slowly relaxed.

Thinking of his father who was still eating outside, Huang Zhiyuan got up and lifted the curtain, seeing his father was drinking soup with a soup bowl, he couldn't help sighing.

"Hey, leave me a private room later in the evening. The old man followed me all the way, and I'm also a half-headed snake. I have to let him see something different."

Li Zian just opened the door, so there are not many things to do yet.Hearing that Huang Zhiyuan asked him to stay in the private room, he nodded.However, after hearing the second half of Huang Zhiyuan's words, he couldn't help laughing.

"Pull it down, what kind of local snake are you?"

The two teased each other a few words, and asked Huang Zhiyuan what he wanted to eat at night, Li Zi'an threw him out of the kitchen.As soon as Huang Zhiyuan left the kitchen, Li Zian suddenly felt that there was a lot of space in the kitchen.

Therefore, the ice on the river has not yet broken, and there are not many capable jobs on the pier.When the shop was not open before, Li San'er would come and wander around the shop every day.Now, the shop reopened to welcome customers, and Li San'er came to help again when he was free.

Hearing Li Zian said that there were guests in the private room at night, seeing that Li Zian had no time at all, he asked him to make a list, and went to Caishi Street with a basket on his back.

Li San'er was well-known in the past, although he was imprisoned in the government for five years, there are still not a few people in the town who know Li San'er.At first seeing Li San'er carrying a basket on his back to the street to buy vegetables, everyone was a little frightened, but later seeing that he was not as arrogant and domineering as before, they gradually changed their minds a bit.Some are bold, and occasionally joke with him.

……

Li Ziqiang has been secretly paying attention to Li Zian ever since he was fooled by Li Zian when he asked for a shop last time.Seeing that his business is booming, Li Ziqiang couldn't help feeling jealous.Recalling the situation at that time, how can I not understand that I may have been fooled by Li Zian.

It's just that Li Zi'an is backed by people from the government on the surface, but secretly protected by a ruffian like Li San'er.Li Ziqiang really didn't have the guts to make another scene.

After secretly vomiting at home for a few days, Li Ziqiang went out to relax, and ran into a fellow villager from Li's village who came to the market on the street.Seeing that the other party greeted him proactively, Li Ziqiang was stunned for a while before he remembered who the other party was.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and heard from the other party that the fourth uncle was ill and separated.Under Li Ziqiang's doubts, his heart was even more ecstatic.You know, he is the fourth uncle who cares about face the most. Earlier, the eldest family had clamored for separation, but the fourth uncle abruptly stopped him.Now that the old man fell ill, the brothers in the fourth room were going to argue about splitting up the family. If the old man got angry, it would be a joke to watch.

Li Ziqiang thought about it for a while and felt that his father should be in charge of this matter. After all, his father and his fourth uncle are brothers, and some words from a brother are more piercing to his ears than those from his nephew, who is separated by a layer. Heart and lungs.

However, his father has been having a heated fight with that widow Zhang recently, and his mother has been arguing with his father every day for the past few days.His father was annoyed that he hadn't been home since the day before yesterday, so he probably wasn't there when he went home to look for his father, probably still with Widow Zhang.

Speaking of which, this widow is already a middle-aged woman, but because she is well maintained, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties.A pair of eyes are like autumn water, people who can be hooked with just one glance are moved, wishing to drown in those eyes.But it's a pity that this widow is his father's concubine, Li Ziqiang wanted to try something new, but he didn't dare to touch his father's people.Therefore, Hui Hui could only look at Widow Zhang's exquisite figure and drool secretly.

In order to avoid running away, Li Ziqiang walked directly to Widow Zhang.Knocking on widow Zhang's door, she saw her father sitting on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun.There were snacks and tea on the small coffee table next to the reclining chair. His father lay on the reclining chair with his legs crossed, humming a little tune, looking very comfortable.

Li Sanbo squinted his eyes and heard his son's voice coming from the door, thinking it was his wife who came to arrest him, he quickly opened his eyes and sat up.However, after he saw clearly that his own yellow-faced woman was not behind Li Ziqiang, he lay back down again.

Tilting his head and crossing his legs, he looked at Li Ziqiang and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Ziqiang glanced at the steaming chestnut cake on the small coffee table, squeezed a piece of his body and took a bite, and then replied: "I just met Li Ersheng from my hometown who came to the market. He said that my fourth uncle was ill. It's pretty serious."

After all, Sanbo Li and Father Li are siblings, and when he heard that Father Li was ill, he hurriedly got up and asked, "Why did your fourth uncle fall ill when he was always in good health? What disease?"

"I heard from Li Ersheng that it was a stroke, and he had it years ago. The fourth aunt has never let anyone tell us. Besides, Zifeng, Ziyang and his brothers have separated. Zifeng has separated and is now in the west of the village. They are building a house."

"The Zifeng family has always wanted to separate the family. I was afraid of your fourth uncle before, so I didn't dare to mention it once. Now that your fourth uncle has fallen ill, isn't the Zifeng family's mind active?" Sanbo Li sat on the recliner On the road, I sighed for a while.He looked up to see his son eating snacks and drinking tea, glared at him, and ordered: "You go down the street to buy a chicken, and tomorrow I will go back to see your fourth uncle."

As he spoke, Sanbo Li took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Li Ziqiang.After glaring at it, he ordered: "I'll give you the money, if you dare to gamble with it, be careful I'll break your leg!"

Hearing this, Li Ziqiang took the copper plate in his hand, wiped the crumbs from his mouth and nodded to Li Sanbo.

"Look at what you said, this is money for my fourth uncle's health. How can I be so important. My fourth uncle loved me a lot when I was young. I will pick you up tomorrow morning, and I will go with you to see him. "

Seeing that his son finally said something human, Li Sanbo nodded in relief, and waved his hand to signal the other party to leave quickly.Seeing this, Li Ziqiang got up and walked towards the door.When he turned around, seeing Widow Zhang secretly looking at him, Li Ziqiang blinked at her, seeing that his father wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his hand to pinch Widow Zhang's ass.

Widow Zhang couldn't help but let out a soft cry. Looking back at Li Laosan opened her eyes and looked at herself, Widow Zhang smiled flatteringly, and sent Li Ziqiang to the gate gracefully, stretching out her hand to caress Li Ziqiang's hand. With a shake, he closed the door under the surprised gaze of the other party.
