Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 122

Before leaving, Zhong Ruyi gave them two small stools to take. "Setting up a stall is very tiring. You can't stand all the time. Take the small stools and sit for a while when no one is around."

After watching the two people walk away, Zhong Ruyi turned around and prepared to go back to work, but her mother was standing behind her, which scared her.

She held her chest and said angrily, "Mom! Why are you standing behind someone? What if he accidentally touches you?"

Mother Zhong ignored her complaints and just pulled her over and asked quietly, "I've just been thinking about it. How about getting you two engaged after the New Year? Then we can find a good day to get married in half a year!"

"Mom! What are you talking about? Are you so anxious to marry me off? Let me stay with you and dad for another two years." Zhong Ruyi acted coquettishly.

Mother Zhong hugged her daughter, who was taller than her, and felt a little sad.

The daughter that I raised with great effort will become someone else's in the future. Even if she gets married two years later, she will get married sooner or later.

Since she has already fallen in love with Dongzhi, it is not easy for Zhong's mother to stop them from interacting with each other. However, this is not a proper name and will cause trouble if others see it.

It would be better to get engaged early. Even if they go out alone, with the title of an engaged couple, who can say that they are immoral?

"Give it to your engaged mother first so she can rest assured!"

Zhong Ruyi still shook her head, "Mom, let's talk about this later. I don't want to get married so soon."

As a modern person, it is really difficult to ask her to marry and have children early like the ancient people did, so she told Chen Dongzhi that they would be together for a year or so first.

If she really dated for a few years before getting married like modern people do, it would be too unfair to Chen Dongzhi.

Mother Zhong wanted to say something, but Zhong Laoer, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time but saw no sign of his mother and younger sister coming back to help wash the pig offal, could no longer hold back.

"Mom! Little sister! What are you still doing outside?"

Zhong Laoer shouted at the top of his voice. He was too busy to handle it alone. He didn't know if it was necessary for his younger sister to see Chen Dongzhi off. His mother also went out to see him off. People who didn't know would think she was sending him back to the battlefield.

"Here it comes! Stop shouting!" Zhong's mother was helpless. This was not a good time to talk, so she could only wait until next time.

She entered the yard and Zhong Ruyi followed behind her.

"Here I am! What's the hurry? You're calling for the soul!" As soon as Zhong's mother came in, she rolled her eyes at her son, quickly pulled over a small stool and sat down, and started to clean up the pig offal.

Zhong Ruyi also pulled a small stool over and sat down. It was already late, so he had to quickly clean up and put the food in the pot.

After several pots of braised food were sold out, Zhong Ruyi looked at the sky. It was already past noon, and Dongzhige and Xiaoxue had not arrived yet.

She was a little anxious and stood at the door looking towards the market. After looking for a long time, they still hadn't come back.

"Mom! I'll go to the market and see how they're selling."

Before Mrs. Zhong could say anything, she had already rushed out and disappeared in a flash.

"......"Mother Zhong

She sighed, "When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother!"

Zhong Ruyi rushed to the market. She didn’t know where Chen Dongzhi and the others were setting up their stall, so she could only try her luck and see if she could meet them.

After walking around, I finally saw them at the end of the street.

Chen Dongzhi was standing there holding two rabbits in his hands and talking to someone, while Xiaoxue took out the cut hemp rope from the bag she brought and handed it to him.

After Chen Dongzhi tied the rabbit's legs and the customer paid, Zhong Ruyi walked up to the two of them.

Xiaoxue was the first to see her and waved at her with a smile, "Sister Ruyi!"

He also pulled his brother's clothes and pointed in the direction where Zhong Ruyi was coming, asking him to look.

Chen Dongzhi was busy putting away the two empty cages and didn't pay attention to his sister's actions.

When Zhong Ruyi stood in front of him, he hadn't reacted yet. He just lowered his head and saw someone standing in front of him. He thought the person wanted to buy a rabbit, so he said without raising his head that the rabbits were sold out.

As a result, the person who was standing did not leave, but instead burst into laughter. He suddenly raised his head and saw Ruyi standing in front of him, smiling at him.

An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and the two cages in his hands almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he grabbed them.

With a silly smile, he put all the cages back on the raft he brought, and also put the two small stools he got from Zhongji on it.

Xiaoxue and Zhong Ruyi sat in the front, followed by Chen Dongzhi.

From time to time, she turned her head and talked to Chen Dongzhi behind her, which made Xiaoxue a little unwilling to look at them.

When they arrived at the door of Zhongji, Xiaoxue left the two of them behind and walked in quickly.

Seeing her coming back alone, Zhong's mother was puzzled, "Xiaoxue, didn't your sister Ruyi say she was going to look for you? Why did you come back alone?"

Xiaoxue was a little embarrassed to say it, so she could only motion for Mother Zhong to look behind her, "Aunt, Sister Ruyi and my brother are still behind."

Mother Zhong: ...

She glanced behind Xiaoxue and pulled her in without saying a word, "Let's eat first. Your brother and your sister Ruyi should not be hungry yet."

Zhong Ruyi didn't know how she ended up being with Chen Dongzhi while walking. Xiaoxue had already returned to the store ahead of her.

As they walked side by side, Zhong Ruyi remembered what her mother had said to her in the morning about getting engaged first, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chen Dongzhi beside her.

He has a high nose, a smooth jawline, and plump lips with beautiful lip color. Zhong Ruyi even wants to rub them to see if he has put on lipstick, otherwise how could his lips be brighter than those who have put on lipstick.

Chen Dongzhi was still very nervous facing her direct gaze, but he still forced himself to remain calm and meet her gaze.

Just as the two of them were looking at each other lovingly and Zhong Ruyi wanted to hold his hand.

The unpleasant voice of Mrs. Zhong appeared in front of them.

"Are you satisfied with the water? Are you two going to eat?"

The two men returned to the store dejectedly, but they couldn't help smiling, leaving Zhong's mother alone there, rolling her eyes at their backs.

She was reluctant to let her daughter get married so soon, but when she saw these two people always being so clingy whenever they met, she couldn't stand it.

Xiaoxue had already helped serve the rice at the table, placed the chopsticks, and started eating.

Mother Zhong picked up two portions of food with her chopsticks for her daughter and Xiaoxue, and told them to eat as much as they wanted.

She smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, the last time I went back home I heard your mother say that she was going to send Xiaoman to a private school after the New Year?"

Xiaoxue swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded obediently, "Yes, mother said that Shuisheng has become more polite and sensible after studying there for a year, and he can even write and recite."

Mother Zhong knew Shuisheng's character. He had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he wouldn't be too bad even if he didn't study. However, she heard from the Zhao family that they wanted to support Shuisheng and see if he could pass the exam and become an official in the future.
