Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

The Zhong family has a new member. The wrinkled little baby is crying at the top of his lungs. His eyes are not yet open, his nose is collapsed, and his gums are pink. When he cries, his fists are clenched tightly, and his cry is very loud.

"In-laws! Come and see the child!" Father Zhong called Uncle Huang over and gently took the child from the arms of Old Third Zhong.

Aunt Huang went into the delivery room to see Huang Ying. After Li Guihua helped clean up the mess, she hurried to cook. The whole family has been here since noon. If the pregnant woman wakes up later, she will have to eat a few bites to replenish her energy.

"Sister-in-law, we'll go back first and come back tomorrow." Zhong Ruyi took the silent Chen Dongzhi and greeted Li Guihua.

"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?" Li Guihua came out. The two of them had already walked some distance away. Zhong Ruyi didn't answer, but just waved his hand.

When they got home, the man was in a better mood than before. At least he could light a fire and cook.

Zhong Ruyi leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at him, "What are you going to do?"

He didn't mention at all that he was in a bad mood just now.

"My mother gave me a fish this morning. Let's make braised fish." Chen Dongzhi picked up the fish from the water tank in the corner and skillfully gutted it and scraped off the scales.

A braised fish, a stir-fried vegetable, and some fried bacon with chili peppers left over from last night, and that was how we got through dinner.

When going to bed at night, Zhong Ruyi felt groggy and was about to fall asleep, but the man next to her suddenly tightened his hands around her waist.

"...Are you still going to sleep?" Zhong Ruyi felt that all her sleepiness had been wiped out, and asked helplessly.

"I saw my mother giving birth to Xiaoxue before. The midwife came in with a pair of scissors. When I saw the scissors again, they were covered in blood."

His sudden words caused Zhong Ruyi to open her closed eyes, "And then?"

Chen Dongzhi leaned his head against the back of her neck and slowly recalled the scene at that time, "I didn't understand why I had to bring scissors in. Later, the midwife came out and I asked her."

He shuddered. "The midwife smiled and whispered in my ear that giving birth means cutting open a woman's belly with scissors and then taking the baby out."

"Nonsense!" Zhong Ruyi's face turned red with anger, "How old were you at the time? How could she lie to you like that?"

"I didn't know whether it was a lie or not at the time, I was just so scared that my father held me in his arms and thought I was sleepy and asked me to go to sleep."

When Chen's mother gave birth to Xiaoman, he was hunting in the mountains. When he came back a few days later, his younger brother had been born.

Even when he went to war later, he always killed the enemies with a single clean blow and never thought about how painful it would be to cut open the stomach with a pair of scissors.

The thought that this kind of pain would happen to his wife in the future made it even more unbearable for him.

Before he met Zhong Ruyi, he had thought about not getting married.

But fate is so wonderful. After I made the decision with great confidence, I met the girl of my dreams. It was like a slap in the face.

After talking about the shadow that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, Chen Dongzhi felt that it was not that serious. He knew that the midwife was lying to him, so why was he still so scared?

But when he met Zhong Ruyi's distressed eyes, he couldn't help but hug him tightly. The two of them hugged each other tightly, absorbing the warmth from each other.

On the third day of the baby's bath, everyone in the village who had free time came to see the baby with brown sugar eggs. They all said that the baby was well-grown and much fairer than other children.

Zhong's mother didn't want too many people to come in and see it, so she only allowed a few aunts who were on good terms with her to come in and take a look. After the aunts came out, they all praised it.

"...She's really good looking! She picked the best parts of the body! She has fair skin and big eyes!"

Aunt Wu smiled and said that the child had just woken up from sleep, and looked at them with his eyes slightly open. He was not afraid of people. After looking for a while, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. He was not noisy at all and had a very quiet personality.

"Yes! This child will definitely be a promising person in the future. His fingers are so long and thin! He can be seen holding a pen!"

This is an exaggeration. How can such a young child tell the thickness of his fingers?

But the Zhong family and Huang family members present loved listening to it, especially Mr. Zhong and Uncle Huang, who nodded repeatedly.

Everyone came to take a look and then left, leaving only the family members.

Liu Yu Niang was holding Lan Lan and talking to Zhong Ruyi, "It was because A Ying gave birth that I rushed back. I have already told your second brother to come back to take care of Lan Lan first, and we will make plans after your younger brother and sister-in-law are out of confinement." Let's see whether to take Lan Lan to the town or keep her with Zhong's mother.

She still wanted to keep Lanlan by her side. After all, this was her sister-in-law's first child and she had no experience in taking care of her, so Mother Zhong would have to pay more attention to her.

"So second brother is the only one left in the store?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

"Yes, just eat less pig offal recently. Your second brother can handle it by himself. He will just be a little tired at most." Liu Yu Niang said with a smile.

Both Mother Zhong and Aunt Huang moved to Zhong Laosan's house to help take care of Huang Ying who was in confinement.

Zhong Laosan from the escort agency met with Master Duan and decided that he would no longer escort goods and would stay at home to farm. This way he could see his wife and children every day and would not feel anxious when he was away from home.

Escort Master Duan sighed. Most of the people in the escort agency are young men who are not married. Many of them quit the job once they get married. The reason is that they have to be away from home all year round and they won't be able to take care of their families if anything happens.

The purpose of making money is to make life better for the family. It would be heartbreaking if there were any regrets left because of this.

"Okay! If you want to come back, just let me know. I'll keep your seat." After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "What about Dongzhi? Will he come?"

Zhong Laosan touched his head and said, "It's possible that my brother-in-law won't come. You know my sister has an orchard and a workshop, and she also owns a restaurant in town. With all these running around, shouldn't my brother-in-law be at home helping her?"

"All right, all right!" Master Duan was convinced. "You two both love your wives! No wonder your sister-in-law always says I'm not as good as you! It's really infuriating!"

"Hehehe!" Zhong Laosan couldn't help but grinning when he thought of his wife and his son who was becoming increasingly fair and tender.

Compared to when it was just born and was red like an old man, now after raising it for a few days, it has completely changed!

Everyone in the family rushes to hold him, and he is willing to be held by anyone. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. Normally, he will only howl a few times to let you know when he has peed, is hungry, or has defecated. At other times, he will just quietly look at people with his eyes open, as if he is observing something.

Zhong Ruyi held the limp Kang Kang, the nickname of Zhong Laosan's son, in her arms and teased him, but Kang Kang's expression didn't change at all, as if she was looking at a fool.

Huang Ying held a cloth on her head. Mother Zhong and Aunt Huang told her not to wash her hair this month and she had to wrap it with cloth to prevent it from being blown by the wind and causing a headache.
