Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

When it was time to go to bed at night, Cuicui ran to her aunt and asked her if she could sleep with her. Zhong Ruyi agreed and asked her to bring her own little pillow.

The two of them were lying on the bed. Zhong Ruyi was just beginning to feel a little sleepy when suddenly Cuicui beside her turned over and faced her.

"Aunt, are you asleep?" Cuicui asked in a low voice.

Seeing that the child was not asleep yet, Zhong Ruyi turned over, faced Cuicui, and asked her in a low voice what was wrong.

"Aunt, a few days ago, Aunt Xiaoxue and I went up the mountain and picked a lot of wild bath beads. We asked Uncle Dongzhi to help us take them to the town to sell. We each got ten cents, and mother told me to keep it for snacks. Do you want to eat anything? I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Children's ideas are always simple. They think that having food to eat and things to play with is the best. If they have something good, they will think about sharing it with the people they like.

"Really? Then our Cuicui is so great! If a peddler comes to the village tomorrow, please buy me a piece of osmanthus cake. I want to eat it." Zhong Ruyi reached out his hand under the quilt and embraced Cuicui's small body.

"Okay." Cuicui agreed.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhong Ruyi thought the girl was going to sleep, but Cuicui opened her mouth and asked again: "Aunt, I heard Xiaozhu tell me that her cousin got married a few days ago and can't live in her own home anymore. Why can't she live in her own home after getting married?" Xiaozhu is the granddaughter of the village chief, and the one who got married is the daughter of Xiaozhu's uncle, Xiaozhu's cousin.

"Because getting married means two people in love form a new family and then live together. They choose to have a baby because they love each other. When the baby grows up and has someone they like, they will also form another new family with the person they like, just like their parents did."

"Just like dad and mom?" Cuicui's childish voice was full of doubt.

"Yes, just like your parents, grandpa and grandma, and your second uncle and second aunt."

"But what if I don't want to get married?"

Zhong Ruyi knew that in modern times, people would gossip about people if they didn't get married, let alone in ancient times. But even so, she still wanted to tell Cuicui that whether she got married or not, she could just follow her heart and be happy.

"That depends on the individual. If Cuicui feels that it is better to live alone than to form a family with another person, then she should choose to be alone. If you are willing to have children for the sake of another person and give up one's freedom, that can also be a kind of happiness." Zhong Ruyi even felt that she might have to live alone, but she didn't know whether Mr. and Mrs. Zhong would urge her to get married.

"Aunt, I gave one of the hair flowers you bought for me last time to Xiaozhu because her cousin is getting married and she is very sad so I gave her a hair flower to comfort her. Will you be angry with me?"

"How could that be? What I give you is yours. You have the right to give it to whomever you want. I'll buy you a more beautiful hair ornament next time you come back."

"Wow, little aunt, you are so kind." Cuicui was so moved that she hugged her tightly, her soft little body pressed against Zhong Ruyi.

The two of them hugged each other warmly, talked quietly, and slowly fell asleep.

During the day, Zhong Ruyi and his friends closed the shop early and went back. Chen Dongzhi led a freshly hunted deer to the town. He took the deer to the restaurant where he sold the deer last time, sold it and collected the money. Then he walked towards the alley of Zhongji. Before he arrived there, he looked from a distance, but did not see anyone at the door of Zhongji. He found it strange because usually at this time there would be a group of people gathered at the door of Zhongji, but today there was no one.

When he got closer, he found that Zhong Ji was closed. He didn't notice the sign hanging at the door and just stood there in a daze.

Aunt Chen from the tea shop next door has been noticing him for a long time. She had seen him several times before, but he was not here to buy braised goods. He just stood far away and looked at Zhong Ji. Aunt Chen saw that this man was tall, with handsome features, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

But his behavior can be described as sneaky, totally unworthy of his good looks.

Seeing him standing at the door of Zhongji now made her even more suspicious. She walked up to him and asked, "Young man, what can I do for you?"

Chen Dongzhi looked over and realized that this was the aunt who had bought the rabbit with him before. Did she also live nearby? Then she should know why Zhongji was closed today.

"Auntie, I want to ask, why is this store closed today?"

But why did this aunt look at him strangely, as if she was looking at someone with bad intentions?

"He's gone home. Didn't you see the sign hanging on the door?" Aunt Chen looked suspicious. She felt that there was something fishy going on with this young man the more she looked at him.

After his aunt mentioned this, Chen Dongzhi noticed a sign hanging at the door of Zhongji, which said that he would be away for two days and would be back in two days. It turned out that he had gone home, and he thought something had happened.

This way he can see her in the village. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a silly smile. Aunt Chen next to him looked as if she had seen a ghost. What's wrong with this person? Why is he smiling silly at a sign? Is he mentally ill? !

Chen Dongzhi thanked Aunt Chen and left. Today's deer was bigger than the last one, so the price was two taels more than last time, a total of forty taels.

......

At the Zhong family, Cuicui got up early in the morning. She refused to go when her sister-in-law called her to feed the chickens, saying that she wanted to wait for the peddler at the entrance of the village. This made her sister-in-law scold her for not eating breakfast so greedy and wanting to eat all kinds of food.

Zhong Ruyi just finished washing up and came out and said, "Sister-in-law, I asked Cuicui to buy this, not because she wants to eat it."

Seeing that it was her own sister-in-law who wanted to eat, the eldest sister-in-law didn't say anything. Instead, she gave Cuicui another ten cents. Cuicui was not angry even though she was scolded. She walked away with her head held high.

"Hey! You kid!" The eldest sister-in-law was amused by Cuicui's arrogant look.

Just as Zhong Ruyi finished her breakfast and was about to call Cuicui to come back and have breakfast before waiting for the peddler, she heard someone knocking on the door. She walked over and opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a handsome guy about 1.9 meters tall standing at the door.

!!!

When did such a handsome guy appear in the village? How come she didn't know? Cuicui didn't tell her about it when she went to bed last night!

The person in front of me has a high nose, full and rosy lips, bright and lively eyes, slightly dark skin, and smooth facial lines. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a handsome guy with a 100% turning head rate!

"Hey, who are you looking for?" Facing such a handsome guy, Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but lower her tone, fearing that she might speak too loudly.

"I, I..." Chen Dongzhi was a little nervous. This was the first time he and Zhong Ruyi had a face-to-face conversation. He was so nervous that he didn't know how to start.

At this time, Zhong Laosan's voice sounded from behind Zhong Ruyi: "Brother Dongzhi! You are here so early."

Brother Dongzhi? Chen Dongzhi? The man in front of me is Chen Dongzhi? The Chen Dongzhi with a beard?

Zhong Ruyi only felt that he had received a huge shock.

She stood there in a daze for a long time, until the third brother asked her curiously why she was still standing there.
