When Lu Chixiao heard what his mother said, he left them alone.
I picked up the two children and drove to the town.
Hearing the tinkling of the wind chimes on the door, Xu Suizhu looked up and saw the man stooping forward, with two babies, one big and one small, behind him. He smiled with crooked eyebrows:
"It's better for you guys. Xiaojuan went to line up to buy roast duck before four o'clock, and she hasn't come back yet."
After saying that, he asked the two children if they were hungry, made them a glass of milk, put a few slices of crispy soda biscuits that he made in his free time on a small cat-shaped dinner plate, and led them to the dining room. "If you are hungry, go first."
Rest your stomach, we have to wait for Uncle Li Tao and the others to arrive before we start dinner."
The little bun nodded and looked around curiously: "Mom, is this the milk tea shop you mentioned? It's so beautiful! Wow! There's also a glass marbles game here!"
Little Baozi, who was poking his head around, discovered a checkers game that can be played by two people and multiple people for the entertainment of dine-in customers in the wall hole at the other end of the booth, and asked happily: "Mom, can Brother Yi and I play pinball for a while?"
Xu Suizhu looked helplessly at Zhuang Yi, who was holding a book with detailed explanations of past Olympiad problems as an extracurricular book. He thought to himself, this child really never forgets to take this book with him wherever he goes!
The key is that the eyes are overused, and the naked eye vision has always remained 2.0. I can't help but sigh that this is the effect of giving them Aquamarine fish oil since they were young? It's awesome!
Zhuang Yi never used his brain when playing checkers with Little Baozi. His attention was still on the Olympiad coaching assistant.
Little Baozi dances a ball, and he jumps a ball. In this way, the two children can play back and forth for a long time.
Xu Suizhu was brewing black tea in front of the counter and making milk tea later.
Baozi's father leaned against the checkout counter and helped her from time to time.
"I'm back!" Lin Yujuan walked into the store carrying two steaming roast ducks that were just out of the oven and a bag of braised meat, with a gossipy face, "Hey! Xiaoyi, Xiaoyu is here? Come on, look.
I brought you something delicious!"
"Dragon Beard Candy?" Little Baozi's sharp eyes recognized it as Dragon Beard Candy before Lin Yujuan took it out from the plastic pocket.
"That's right, take it and eat it!"
After giving the dragon beard candy to the two children, Lin Yujuan approached Xu Suizhu and chatted about the gossip she saw at the roast duck restaurant.
Xu Suizhu looked at her funny: "What do I mean, I went to buy a roast duck for more than an hour and still didn't see anyone, how dare you go and watch the fun?"
"By the way, haha! Anyway, the roast duck wasn't ready yet, so I just watched the gossip for a while. I'm not telling you, that family is really shameless. They sold the house because his son married a wife in Nancheng and settled down, and he didn't plan to come back in the future.
I wanted to raise some money to start a business, so I sold my old house and moved to Nancheng together. Unexpectedly, I lost money in the business, sold the house in Nancheng to pay off the debt, and had no place to live. Now I heard that my hometown was being demolished.
Not to mention the increase in value of the house facing the street, the government also paid for unified repairs, so I rushed back to try to redeem the capital of the house... I was very happy to hear this, this family is so funny! When they needed money, they sold the storefront house.
Now that the value has increased, I want to take it back again, blah! When others are fools, he is the smart one! Fortunately, the buyer did not show up. If I were the buyer, I would not care about him..."
Huh?
This content sounds strangely familiar!
In my impression, the original owner of the storefront house with a courtyard that Uncle Lu bought to open the teahouse sold it to raise money for his son who went south to do business and settled there. I have never seen this family come back in these years.
We have never seen people visit their graves to worship ancestors during Qingming Festival or Winter Solstice. The residents in the town thought they were prosperous and would not bother returning to their hometowns.
"Is the man you are talking about called Xu Daqiang? He is short and stocky, with a big black mole on the bridge of his nose?" Xu Suizhu asked Sister Lin.
"Do you know my sister-in-law? That's right. You are originally from this town. I don't know you, but I heard others call him that."
Xu Suizhu: "..."
It’s really him!
Didn't she buy a few storefront houses herself? One of the owners was introduced by Xu Daqiang. Later, the fifth aunt wanted to buy a house in the town and open a teahouse. She heard that the house she bought was Xu Daqiang's house. Xu Suizhu was quite relieved at that time.
After meeting him several times, I feel that Xu Daqiang is pretty good.
He doesn’t look like someone who would make trouble!
Thinking of Aunt Lu who had no signs of giving birth before her due date, Xu Suizhu handed the spoon to Sister Lin, took off her apron and said, "I'm going to Uncle Wu's teahouse."
Lu Chixiao raised his handsome eyebrows. Although he didn't know why, he saw the child's mother frowning slightly. He took the apron she took off and stuffed it into Lin Yujuan's hand: "You watch the child here, I will go out with your sister-in-law.
"
"Hey..." Before Lin Yujuan had time to ask anything, the couple had already left the store together.
He turned around and glanced at the two children playing chess in the booth. The younger one was holding his cheek and was thinking hard. The older one was holding an Olympiad book on the ground and reading it with gusto. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and took on the responsibility of making milk tea and cooking.
The job of looking after the baby.
Then I thought: Damn it! She doesn’t know how to make milk tea! The black tea is ready, but what is the ratio to condensed milk?
I can’t even think of it even if I scratch my bald head!
Forget it! At worst, just drink black tea. Ceylon black tea tastes great too!
Sister Lin, who was in a good mood, immediately stopped worrying. She poured the brewed black tea into the elegant plum blossom teapot and turned her attention to the frog pot that was simmering slowly over the charcoal fire.
"Wow! What's delicious? It's so delicious!" Mr. Fu hugged his daughter and led Li Tao and his wife in, who couldn't touch the door of the store.
"This is my sister-in-law's new delicacy? It looks good!"
"It's more than good! It's delicious at first sight! It's so delicious that my stomach is growling!" Li Tao said, turning around and looking around the room, "It's well decorated! How can a milk tea shop be decorated like this? It's so unexpected.
I’m surprised!”
When Zhuang Yi and Xiao Baozi saw them coming in, they immediately stopped what they were doing and ran out to say hello.
"Good guy! Another year has passed! Xiaoyi is almost as tall as me!" Li Tao smiled and stood between the two children to compare, "By the way, Xiaoyu, where are your parents?"
"I don't know!" Little Baozi looked confused, "He was here just now! He said that when Uncle Li Tao comes, dinner will be served. Why is he missing?"
"We went to the teahouse of the fifth uncle's family." Lin Yujuan explained, and she finally figured it out, "Could it be the family I mentioned, just here for the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt?"
"Which family?"
"Just before..." Lin Yujuan recounted the scene she saw and heard while queuing up to buy roast duck.
"Eighty percent right!" Fu Zhengyang said, then he put the sleepy daughter in the arms of the child's mother and asked her and Chef Jiang to stay in the store to look after the child while he and Li Tao went to the teahouse to have a look.
"There won't be a fight, right?"
Looking at the backs of the men leaving, it felt like they were going to fight in a group... Lin Yujuan suddenly felt uneasy.
Jiang Ruoyi comforted her: "No, Brother Xiao is here! If we really fight, we won't suffer any loss."
