Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Mother Chen stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the rain outside with worry. She was worried about Xiaoman who was far away in Guangning Prefecture. "I don't know how Xiaoman is doing recently? This child can't sleep well when it rains, and has a shallow sleep..."

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

Zhong Ruyi comforted her, "I'll be back next month. It's almost the end of March now. Time flies."

Seeing that Chen's mother was still in a low mood, Chen Dongzhi gently pushed his confused daughter and asked her to cheer up her grandmother.

Although the young Chen Miaomiao could not understand what her father meant, her mother had always loved her very much, and it was obvious that the child could feel the adults' emotions at this time.

She ran over stumblingly, and after falling down, she simply crawled over, hugged Chen's mother's legs and babbled.

By accident, he actually called out the words "Nai! Nai!" Although they were not called out in a coherent manner, it was still surprising enough!

As expected, Chen's mother immediately forgot about her little son and hugged her granddaughter, repeatedly saying "Hey! Grandma's good granddaughter!"

The grandparents and grandchildren were hugging each other affectionately. Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Ruyi looked at each other with mixed feelings: They also taught their children to call daddy and mommy every day! Why didn't Miaomiao learn it?

A loud thunder outside the window seemed to strike people's hearts, and what followed was a rainy season lasting for half a month.

During this period, Wang Laizi and his wife brought Wang Erwa to express their gratitude. The two insisted that the little boy kneel down and kowtow to her.

Zhong Ruyi waved her hands repeatedly and helped the man up, "No, no! If you want to kowtow, kowtow to Tian Laoer who saved you. If he hadn't saved you, I wouldn't have had the chance to help you!"

Wang Laizi's wife laughed and said, "I've been there! I also asked Erwa to kowtow and acknowledge him as my godfather!"

Zhong Ruyi was surprised to learn that the two families had become godparents, but since Wang Erwa had saved her life, becoming a godparent was not a big deal. As long as Wang Erwa remembered this favor and repaid Tian Laoer well, it would not be a waste.

In early April, the sky was still covered with dark clouds, as if there was a hole in the sky, and rain kept falling from the hole. The rain was so heavy that people began to feel uneasy.

The family sat by the fireplace, and Zhong Ruyi read to Chen Miaomiao. Education should start from childhood. Although she can't even speak now, she may learn to speak soon by imitating her!

"Come, follow me and recite——"

Chen Miaomiao opened her big innocent eyes and looked at her mother's moving mouth in confusion, but she didn't understand what she was saying.

Helplessly, Zhong Ruyi had to give up and pinched her daughter's chubby, white and tender face.

There were a few small sweet potatoes in the stove. Chen Dongzhi poked them and felt they were cooked, so he took them out with tongs. The three adults each held a sweet potato and ate them with relish.

This made Chen Miaomiao, who could only look but not eat, very anxious. She held onto Chen's mother's thighs and moved closer to her, because she knew that if her parents didn't give her the food normally, her grandmother would secretly let her taste it.

The sweet potatoes were still very hot just out of the oven. Chen's mother broke off a piece and held it in one hand to let it cool down. As a result, Chen Miaomiao, who couldn't wait, took a bite of it while she was holding it in her hand.

The three adults who were leisurely playing with the child were frightened. Zhong Ruyi hurriedly pried open the child's mouth to see if she was burned.

Chen Miaomiao thought her mother wanted to take the sweet potato out of her mouth, so she opened her mouth reluctantly.

The child's gums, with only a few small white teeth, and her pink mouth were exposed in front of him. Zhong Ruyi checked carefully and found that she was not burned red, then she felt relieved and gave her a lecture with a stern face.

But the child didn't understand and was happily looking at the half-bitten sweet potato in Chen's mother's hand, eager to try something else.

Chen Dongzhi blew on the sweet potato in his hand and motioned his daughter to come over and eat.

Suddenly, someone outside the door knocked loudly, and the voice seemed very anxious.

Zhong Laosan banged on the door a few times, and soon someone came over.

When he saw the person coming, he ignored Chen Dongzhi's words to ask him to come in and sit down, and said directly, "Something happened in Guangning Prefecture! My second sister-in-law's eldest brother sent someone to pass on the message this morning, and now the county magistrate is on his way there."

Chen Dongzhi's smiling face suddenly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"There's a flood! Several villages were swallowed by the flood! Many people died! The county magistrate is taking people to help. Isn't the county magistrate of Guangning Prefecture always there? He has to go and take a look. Even if he can't help, at least he won't give people a reason to criticize him."

Zhong Lao San swallowed his saliva and continued, "The children at home are all in Guangning Prefecture. My eldest brother and his family are almost going crazy. They can't wait to go to Guangning Prefecture to check the situation and bring the children back! Are you going? We are packing our things now and will leave soon! My eldest brother has already gone to Taohua Village to find Li Zhi and Li Yang's family. If you want to go, just wait at the entrance of the village!"

Chen Dongzhi didn't hesitate, "Go! I'll go in and pack some clothes. Also, don't let my mother know about this. Tell my parents-in-law not to tell her!"

Mother Chen has been worried about Xiaoman during this period. If she knew now that her youngest son might have gotten into trouble in Guangning Prefecture, it would be bad. She could only keep it secret for now and wait for others to come back, even if they beat and scolded her!

After entering the house, he called Ruyi and asked her to help him pack some clothes. He had to go out for something. He stayed and told Chen's mother that the person who just came was the town's escort master Duan, who asked him to help deliver a batch of goods to Guangning Prefecture. He could also check if Xiaoman had finished the exam and pick him up together.

Mother Chen had no doubts at all. "Then you must be careful when you go out. It has rained a lot recently and the roads are slippery. Don't rush!"

"it is good."

After he responded, he picked up his daughter, kissed her twice, and went into the house.

Zhong Ruyi was taking two thicker coats from the closet when someone grabbed her hand. She was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Chen Dongzhi told her everything that Zhong Laosan had just said to him, word for word, "...So I have to go to Guangning Prefecture now. Third brother said that many people died. Although Xiaoman and the others may not have died by coincidence, I still have to go and see them to feel at ease."

After hearing this, Zhong Ruyi's expression was solemn. The fact that it had been raining for the past few days had given her a bad feeling, and now this feeling actually came true?!

She immediately said, "Since we've agreed to go together, let's hurry up! I'll take care of the family matters, so you go early and come back early! You must bring them all back!"

The two people in the house were not talking loudly, and the sound of the rain covered it up, so people outside couldn't hear a word.

Soon, several pieces of clothes were packed, Chen Dongzhi put on his raincoat and left. At the entrance of the village, Zhong Laoda, Zhong Er and Li Zhidie were already waiting for him.

Of the three brothers of the Zhong family, the eldest and second oldest went. Originally, the third oldest wanted to go too, but the others wouldn't let him:

"There are only old people and women left at home now, so you have to stay and take care of them. If anything happens, the family will still have to rely on you!"

When Zhong Ruyi went in, Liu Yu Niang's eyes were already red from crying, and Li Guihua was trying hard to speak.

Floods are a huge disaster for people of any era, not to mention that the ones facing all this are children in their teens. How can they not be anxious?
