Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

He is quite young, but also quite shameless.

It was the first time that Zhong Ruyi encountered someone who said stealing was borrowing, and she was so angry that she almost laughed.

But she was not interested in helping others discipline their children. She only asked the other three children what he had stolen and then made sure that he had stolen it.

"I told you I wasn't stealing! I was borrowing!" the boy argued, looking unconvinced.

No matter whether it was stolen or borrowed, Zhong Ruyi just needed to make sure that the item was taken away by him.

"Aidi, your brother took someone else's things worth three hundred coins. What do you think about this?"

Aidi pursed her lips. She had no money but it was wrong for her brother to steal other people's things and he should compensate the owner.

"Boss, can you deduct it from my salary this month? If not, I'll think of another way..."

Of course this would work. Zhong Ruyi asked for the opinions of those whose things were stolen from, and she agreed to deduct the money from this month's wages, and the deducted money would be returned to those whose things were stolen from.

But stealing is not a good habit. Zhong Ruyi asked Aidi to discipline her younger brother. She couldn't work hard and then give all the money she earned to her younger brother, right?

"I know the boss!" Aidi nodded vigorously and glared at the little boy viciously.

Soon, Zhong Ruyi learned from several other children that the little boy was beaten up by Aidi that night. Not only was his buttocks bruised, but several women in the same dormitory couldn't bear to watch and wanted to stop them, but were all sent away by Aidi.

"If I don't beat him now, what will happen if he steals your things again in the future?" As Aidi spoke, she hit him harder, and the cane kept beating the little boy until he cried loudly.

The children who were watching him being beaten felt a dull pain in their buttocks as they watched this scene.

Zhong Ruyi was quite relieved. She had heard about Aidi's story from her eldest sister. All her family members died in the flood. Because she and her brother were small and light in weight, their parents put them in a wooden basin when the flood came and let them float away with the current. The next day, they were stopped by other survivors and were arranged to be sent out by the government.

Just by hearing the name, Zhong Ruyi could imagine how much Aidi's family wanted to have a boy. The age difference between the two siblings was quite big, the sister was twelve years old and the brother was five years old. I guess the family also told Aidi to take care of the brother and put the brother first in everything.

"Aidi has three older sisters, but they were all given away." The eldest sister said with a complicated look in her eyes while eating.

The people listening around were all older aunts. After hearing about Aidi's experience, they felt sorry for this little girl. So Aidi would receive food from the aunts and sisters-in-law in the workshop every day, or be taken by the villagers to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick bamboo mushrooms during holidays.

With such a wonderful life, Aidi even began to thank herself for arguing that day that she would take good care of her brother if she went out with them. If she had not begged her that day, she would not have the life she has today.

She pretended to be distressed and told the people in the workshop how disobedient her brother had been these days and how her earnest advice had failed and she had no choice but to resort to violence.

Except for Eddie and her elder sister, the other villagers from Guangning Prefecture who were assigned to Xinghua Village felt that they were thinking too much when they were worried that they would not be able to get along with the people around them in the new environment.

Xinghua Village is great!

Not only is everyone very easy to get along with, but Xinghua Village also has a great geographical location and fertile land, so anything you plant can grow!

This is like finding a treasure for the farmers, and some people even live better than before the flood.

It's spring again. Zhong Ruyi takes Chen Miaomiao, who will be three years old after the Chinese New Year, out to watch people fishing.

"See if your father can bring you a big fish!"

There were tears on Chen Miaomiao's cheeks and a scary blue-black bump on her forehead, which was caused by her accidentally falling down while walking just now. Chen's mother tried to coax her for a long time but failed to make her happy.

Who can be happy with a bump on their head? Anyway, Chen Miaomiao couldn't stop being coaxed by her mother and uncle, and it was only when Zhong Ruyi asked her to take her out to watch people fishing that she reluctantly showed a curious expression.

"I wonder how sad your father will be when he sees this bump on your head later." Zhong Ruyi said as she rubbed it with her hand. The bump was hard. If she didn't rub the bruise away, she would suffer from headaches when she gets older!

Chen Miaomiao was caught off guard and suffered another blow. She immediately burst into tears at the top of her lungs.

Chen Dongzhi, who was fishing far away by the river, had no idea how much suffering his daughter had suffered. He and Zhong Laosan each pulled the fishing net and walked towards the center of the river, trying to catch more fish.

The child started crying again. Zhong Ruyi felt a little guilty and tried to blow on her. "Blow, it hurts, Feifei! Whoosh~"

But it was obvious that this trick didn't work at all. Chen Miaomiao cried so hard that her mother had no choice but to carry her back.

Chen's mother Xiaoman was coaxing her child at home. When Chen Dongzhi came back, he saw this messy scene. His daughter had a big bump on her head and was crying breathlessly with tears in her eyes.

Zhong Ruyi watched helplessly from the side holding the medicinal wine.

"What's wrong with the head?" Chen Dongzhi put down the bucket of fish in his hand and wanted to check on his daughter, but he reeked of fish and his mother wouldn't let him get close.

"Brother, go take a shower first." Xiaoman moved away from his brother calmly, "Miaomiao bumped into something after breakfast this morning."

After taking a bath, Chen Dongzhi held his daughter who had finally stopped crying and went to see the fish he had caught. Zhong Ruyi took the medicinal wine and prepared to assign this difficult task to him.

There is no other way. Even if it hurts, the bruise has to be rubbed away. Otherwise, what if I get a migraine in the future?

Neither Chen's mother nor Xiaoman could bear to do it. They couldn't bring themselves to do it when they saw Miaomiao's moist eyes.

Zhong Ruyi believed that the child's father would definitely be able to do it. She encouraged him with her eyes, "You can do it! You will definitely do it!"

He couldn't do it, Chen Dongzhi thought. He couldn't bring himself to do it when he saw his daughter's pitiful expression. He could only let the medicinal wine dry on his hands.

It seems that I have to be the bad guy, Zhong Ruyi thought, then he took the medicinal wine and poured it into his palm, then began to rub it, ignoring his daughter's eyes.

Rubbing a bruise is a very painful process. Even adults may not be able to endure this process, let alone young children.

Suddenly, the Chen family was filled with the cry of Chen Miaomiao, like a pig being slaughtered, and it seemed that the cry would not stop for a while.

At night, Zhong Ruyi thought that after what happened during the day, the child would not kiss her anymore. But the amazing thing was that Chen Miaomiao was the kind of person who would remember good things but not grudges. She quickly forgot about the incident in which her mother rubbed her bruises and made her cry in pain.

Being held in her mother's arms and tickled on her armpits, she laughed out loud. If it weren't for the bruise on her forehead, Zhong Ruyi would have thought that nothing had happened today.

A family of three was lying on the bed. Miaomiao, who was sleeping on the inside, was sleeping soundly, while the two people who were sleeping on the outside had just finished a love affair in sweat and were hugging each other and whispering.

Chen Dongzhi inadvertently turned his head and saw his daughter's bright eyes looking at him.

!!!

He quickly pulled up the quilt to cover their naked bodies, and wanted to pick up the clothes that fell on the ground and put them on with a bit of embarrassment. However, when he put them on and turned around, Miaomiao had closed her eyes again, with her mouth slightly open as if she was saying something.

The couple became curious and leaned closer to listen.

“...Daddy...it hurts...Fei Fei..." The little girl's baby voice sounded intermittently.

Thinking of the back that Chen Dongzhi had just exposed, which was covered with scars from previous battles, the little girl saw these words in a daze and thought she was dreaming.

The couple looked at each other and couldn't help smiling. Each of them gave the child a gentle kiss on the cheek, and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

——And there will be countless more nights like this.
