Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

After finally coaxing her daughter, Zhong Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Such a young child actually knew how to get angry, and had a pretty bad temper!

Eight-month-old Chen Miaomiao is no longer willing to be fed by adults. She eats with her own small spoon and bowl, slurping the food. Not only does she drop more food on the ground than she eats, but she also gets oil all over her body.

Zhong Ruyi thinks that it is feasible to cultivate children's independence from an early age. At least it is something the child wants to do, and she is not forced to be independent by adults.

After she finished a small bowl of egg custard, Chen Dongzhi took another half bowl and fed her to finish it.

Both of them raised their children in their own way, but Chen's mother and Zhong's mother couldn't stand it and felt that their attitude was somewhat irresponsible.

One time, Chen Dongzhi went to work in the fields and took the child with him. He put her under a tree and let her play with other children in the village. This scene was seen by Chen's mother who came to deliver food. She frowned immediately:

"If you two can't take the child, can't you just send him to my place? Must you let the child wait under the tree in such a hot sun?"

She was a little angry, and after scolding her son, she took her confused granddaughter away.

Chen Dongzhi wiped the sweat off his face with a cloth, feeling a little puzzled. Miaomiao was wearing a small straw hat and there were shaded areas under the trees. It was better than leaving the child alone at home, right?

When Zhong Ruyi finished her work and returned home, Chen Dongzhi was the only one at home. "Where is Miaomiao?" she asked while washing her hands.

"Mom said to help take care of the child for a few days, and we will go pick him up when we are not busy." Chen Dongzhi had just been there once, but it was obvious that Chen's mother was very dissatisfied with his behavior of bringing the child to the fields today, and she would not let him bring the child back no matter what. Fortunately, Miaomiao was an easy child to take care of, and anyone was willing to take care of the child, so he came back with peace of mind.

But at night, there was always a little guy making noises between the two of them, and it was a bit strange to suddenly lose him.

"......." Zhong Ruyi forced herself to fall asleep, but she still couldn't sleep. After a while, the man next to her turned over and came to her side.

"Let's pick up Miaomiao back tomorrow. I'm not used to her being away." Chen Dongzhi finally couldn't help but speak first.

Zhong Ruyi got up quickly and said, "I wonder if Miaomiao cried without us around? Will she make a fuss and ask to come back?"

The couple was so worried that they barely fell asleep until late at night. The next day, before they had time to have breakfast, Chen Dongzhi went home to pick up his daughter.

When he arrived, Chen's mother was feeding her child egg custard, and Xiaoxue was playing with her with a tiger-head doll.

Miaomiao was naturally very happy to see her father coming. Mother Chen asked her son to sit down and have breakfast together.

Chen Dongzhi thought that since he was here, he might as well eat something and then take the child back after he was full.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to take the child back, but the child himself didn't want to.

After breakfast, he suggested taking Miaomiao back home to prevent her from making trouble here.

The first person to have an opinion was not Chen's mother, but Miaomiao, who was held in his arms. The little girl was struggling to get down from her father's arms, chattering about something that the adults could not understand.

After Chen Miaomiao was put down, she struggled towards her grandmother on her short legs. She stumbled and almost tripped over a chair. She was saved by Xiaoxue who was beside her.

Mother Chen embraced her granddaughter's soft body and said dissatisfiedly, "You two don't have time to take care of the child during the day. You want to take the child back after only one day of sending her to my place? Can't you let us cultivate our relationship more? Look how much Miaomiao likes to stay here?!"

"You are the only one who has many things to do!"

Not only did he not bring the child back but he was also scolded. Chen Dongzhi went to work in the fields feeling a little depressed. As for how to explain it to his wife when she comes back, he will just say that his daughter doesn't want to come back and he can't do anything about it. Anyway, this is the fact.

At night, Zhong Ruyi, who thought she could have a good sleep hugging her daughter's sweet and soft little body, was shocked to learn that the child was unwilling to come back. She never expected that her beloved daughter would be unwilling to come back.

She complained a little, "You shouldn't have brought Miaomiao to the field that day, and mother happened to see it!" Originally, Chen's mother wanted to take Miaomiao over, but she didn't do it because the two of them didn't want to.

As a result, the girl was so happy at her grandmother's house that she didn't miss her parents anymore.

Chen Dongzhi lowered his head guiltily and dared not speak.

However, after two days when the child was not at home, they both got used to it and felt like they were back to their old days. It didn't matter if they made a fuss at night or stayed up late as they didn't worry about waking up the child.

After having fun, Chen Dongzhi no longer thought about taking the child back.

Chen Miaomiao didn't want to go home at her grandmother's house, but she hadn't slept with her parents for many days. Although she could still see them during the day, sometimes when she woke up at night and their parents were not there, she still wanted to cry.

So at noon that day, when Chen Dongzhi casually asked, "Miao Miao, will you go home with Dad today? Not going home? If not, forget it."

Chen Miaomiao didn't understand. She only heard two people returning home, stumbling and holding her father's hand, motioning for her father to pick her up.

Chen Dongzhi was surprised. After picking up his daughter, he still couldn't believe it. "Miaomiao wants to go home with Dad today?"

He just asked casually. If he had known, he wouldn't have asked. He and his wife had just had a big fight last night and were planning to continue it tonight. It would be difficult if his daughter came back.

Chen Dongzhi's expression made Chen's mother very dissatisfied. She asked with a sullen face, "What? What's your attitude? The child misses his parents, but you are unwilling?"

"No, I'm happy." Chen Dongzhi naturally couldn't say that he was unwilling. Not only would it make his mother angry, but his daughter would also be sad and angry if she understood.

He took the child back home. Zhong Ruyi had lunch in the workshop. In recent days, she was busy taking care of several newly arrived aunts, so she just had a quick lunch.

So the mother and daughter didn't meet until the evening. Zhong Ruyi didn't have the shady thoughts that men have. She was so happy that her daughter came home that she hugged and kissed her for a long time before letting her go.

After the kiss, she began to ask the child, "Are you happy at grandma's house? Why didn't your dad come back so many times when he went to pick you up?"

Chen Miaomiao didn't understand anything, so she could only imitate her mother's last word, mumbling "come", which made the two of them laugh.

In order to prevent Chen's mother from accusing them of not taking good care of the child, Zhong Ruyi did not let Miaomiao follow her father this time, and instead let her go to the workshop with her.

It just so happened that among the people recruited this time, there was a young woman who came to stay with her two children. The specific reason was that something happened at home and there was no one to help her take care of the children, so she had to keep them with her.

It was because I heard that there was accommodation here that I thought of giving it a try. Zhong Ruyi asked about the situation and agreed after thinking for a moment.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, not much older than her. The older child was eight years old and the younger one was three years old.

She placed Chen Miaomiao in a small house in the old workshop. There were people coming and going in the yard, so there was no need to worry about the child getting lost.

She had originally planned to ask Chen's mother to help take care of the child for a few days until she was done with the work at the workshop.

But Chen's mother was busy buying Xiaoxue's dowry these days and was afraid that she would not be able to take care of the child, so Zhong Ruyi had to give up this idea.

Fortunately, Chen Miaomiao is a quiet child. She can have a lot of fun playing with a wooden cart with a few tiger-head dolls. When adults come, they just look up and quickly go back to playing with their own dolls.
