Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

So when Chen Dongzhi finally gave the bag of pastries to the little girl and clumsily coaxed her a few words, what he saw when he came back was the expressionless mother Chen holding a bamboo vine in her hand.

Xiaoxue had gone out happily to find her brother, gave him the money she had earned from selling shepherd's purse, and then shared the cakes her brother brought back with several other friends. After eating the cakes, the brother and sister came back happily holding hands.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw their mother sitting in the yard with an expressionless face. The brother and sister were shocked. They hadn't seen their mother like this in many years, and they didn't know who made her angry.

When Chen Dongzhi came back and saw this scene, he had the same thought. He thought that Xiaoman had made his mother angry, and he wanted to stop his mother when she beat Xiaoman to prevent his younger brother from getting hurt.

Xiaoxue and Xiaoman thought the same way. Xiaoxue thought that her younger brother had gotten into trouble while she was away, while Xiaoman thought that his mother was unhappy because he had gone out to play for too long today.

Chen's mother stood up. Chen Dongzhi was about to persuade her mother not to beat her brother. Xiaoxue was also about to speak, but Xiaoman had already closed his eyes and prepared to face his mother's anger.

Unexpectedly, Chen's mother's bamboo vine fell directly on Chen Dongzhi, and Chen Dongzhi was stunned.

Xiaoxue and Xiaoman were stunned when Zhu Teng didn't show up.

Xiaoxue: Aren’t you beating your younger brother? Why are you beating your older brother?

Xiaoman: No? It wasn't me who got beaten? It was my elder brother?

Chen Dongzhi was hit several times and ran away. Xiaoxue and Xiaoman hurried to stop their mother.

Chen's mother chased after Chen Dongzhi, cursing as she ran: "You shameless man, how dare you do such a thing! I will beat you to death today!"

Xiaoxue and the other two chased after them, "Mom! Stop hitting me!"

Mother Chen didn't listen at all. Chen Dongzhi could only run around the stone table, "Mom! What did I do wrong? If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely and give me a chance to explain!"

"Explain? What's there to explain? I saw it with my own eyes! I saw it clearly with my own eyes!"

Chen Dongzhi felt that he was very wronged. He got up early in the morning to chop wood and fetch water. Then he took the shepherd's purse picked by his sister and brother to sell. He had lunch at Ruyi's house and was beaten when he came back.

The few of them chased each other like this for a while. After all, Chen's mother was old, and she was tired after chasing for a while, so she simply threw away the bamboo vine and sat on the stone bench to catch her breath.

Chen Dongzhi didn't dare to stand too close. He just stood far away and watched his mother being patted on the back by Xiaoxue and Xiaoman.

When Mother Chen had rested enough, she stared at her eldest son's face and said, "Let me ask you! Do you like the girl from the Zhong family?"

Chen Dongzhi didn't expect that his mother would know about this so quickly. He pursed his lips and nodded.

Seeing that he was so sullen, Chen's mother was furious and yelled, "How old is she? How old are you? How dare you nod your head?"

Chen Dongzhi said in a muffled voice, "She is not young anymore, and we like each other!"

"How dare you say that! How dare you do that? How can I face your Aunt Zhong?"

Chen Dongzhi stopped talking. He didn't expect his mother to have such a big opinion about him and Ruyi. But not saying anything didn't mean he knew he was wrong. He still liked Ruyi, no matter what anyone said.

Xiaoxue didn't expect that her elder brother really liked Sister Ruyi, but what she didn't expect was that her mother was so opposed to the relationship between her elder brother and Sister Ruyi.

She said hesitantly, "Mom, haven't you always hoped that my brother would get married soon? Now that my brother has someone he likes, it's a good thing."

Mother Chen glared at her son angrily, "What good thing is that? Is it a good thing for an old cow to eat young grass?"

As an uncle, he actually likes his niece? Chen's mother didn't dare to say this in front of the two children.

Xiaoxue was a little confused. An old cow eating young grass? In her mother's eyes, the fact that her elder brother and sister are four years older than each other already makes them a combination of an old cow and a young grass? Aren't they both quite young?

"...Old Niu is not really considered as such, mother. Sister Ruyi will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. Didn't you tell me that you married my father when you were seventeen?"

Isn’t seventeen and twenty-one good?

Mother Chen didn't know why the topic turned to Zhong Ruyi. She said unhappily, "If it was your sister Ruyi, I would be so happy! But ask your brother who he really likes?"

Chen Dongzhi and Xiaoxue looked confused. Xiaoman at the side didn't understand what they were saying. He only knew that even at such an age, his eldest brother would still be beaten.

Xiaoxue spoke carefully, "Mom, aren't you talking about Sister Ruyi? The girl my brother likes is Sister Ruyi."

Mother Chen's expression froze. She turned to look at her eldest son. When he nodded, she also became confused.

Didn't she see her son buying cakes for Cuicui today? Cuicui also said that she didn't like him. Doesn't this mean that her son likes Cuicui, but Cuicui doesn't like him?

"Then when you gave the cakes to Cui Cui just now, didn't she say she didn't like you?"

Chen Dongzhi sighed. After all the fuss, it turned out that his mother had misunderstood him and he got beaten for nothing.

He explained, "Ruyi bought those for Xiaoxue and Cuicui. I just brought them back for them."

"As for what Cuicui said about not liking me, that was because she said she didn't want to marry Ruyi. Even if I bought these cakes for her, she still didn't like me and didn't want me to be her uncle."

When he mentioned the word "uncle-in-law", his face turned slightly red, and he pretended to be calm and continued, "Later I told her that this was bought for her by Ruyi, and she only accepted it because I helped bring it back."

Chen’s mother:!

It turned out that she had misunderstood!

The girl my son likes is actually Ruyi! Good, good, good! Good boy! She actually misunderstood!

Maybe if Ruyi was the way she was before, she would not be happy about it, but now she can walk and run, and can do business, so Chen's mother has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Even if Ruyi is still the same as before, she will compromise because her son likes it.

In addition, the Zhong family has always taken good care of her and her two children over the years. Just for the sake of this friendship, she will treat Ruyi well after she gets married.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Mother Chen rolled her eyes at him and hurried over to see how her son was being beaten. She was so angry that she hit him pretty hard, so she didn't know if it hurt.

Chen Dongzhi wanted to say that you didn’t even give me this chance. You just started beating me as soon as I got back without caring about anything else.

The blows on his back happened to be touched by Chen's mother, and he hissed in pain. It was not to be forgotten that his mother's hands were quite strong, or maybe it was because being hit by bamboo vines was particularly painful.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Chen's mother felt that life was getting better. Before, she was always worried that her son would not be able to find a wife and would be an old widower alone, and no one would know if he died.

Now, finally there is a girl who is blind enough to fall in love with him. She is so happy that she must tell the old man about it when she goes to burn incense to him after the New Year!
