It was still early, so the whole family decided to go to the county town for a stroll. The happiest people were the three brothers and sisters. Xu Congyi was happy to see if there was anything she knew but not here, and to explore business opportunities. Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an were just there to see the crowds and the many gadgets and snacks they had never seen before. Old man Xu was also happy. Although he was unable to donate all his money, he still had 14 taels of silver left, enough to buy some things for his family.

"Buy whatever you want! Grandpa's treating us today!" Old man Xu waved his hand generously.

"Great!" Even Xu Congwen cheered.

Xu Liehu and Li Dahua felt a little uncomfortable, especially when they saw their eldest son, who was always introverted, cheering. In recent years, the couple has put most of their energy on their youngest daughter and owed too much to their two sons. But the two children not only did not blame them for being partial, but also loved their younger sister even more than they did as parents.

"Let's have lunch outside today. What do you want to eat? Grandma will satisfy you!" Xu's mother made the decision immediately, and the children were even happier. This is the same as modern children. They will enjoy eating anywhere better than at home.

But the children were still too sensible. Even though their grandmother said so, the three of them said in unison,

"Eating noodles!"

"No, I finally agreed to give you a good meal. Noodles are not good enough. Let's do something else!" Old man Xu refused directly.

But the children refused to change their minds and kept saying they wanted to eat noodles. So the family of seven had no choice but to sit at the noodle stall.

"Boss, seven bowls of pork noodles!"

"Okay, here I come!"

The noodle stall owner skillfully prepared the noodles and scooped the sauce. Soon, seven bowls of noodles were served.

Everyone else in the family was eating with relish, but Xu Congyi had a hard time swallowing. Seeing that Xu Liehu was eating with relish, Xu Congyi offered to give him some. On the one hand, she had eaten a lot in the morning, and she had a small appetite, so she couldn't eat much. On the other hand, she was from the modern era after all. Modern meat noodles have a lot of seasonings, so you can't taste the fishy smell of pork. But it was different here. The seasonings of meat noodles were relatively simple, and she could taste the fishy smell as soon as she ate it.

Xu the Hunter smiled and handed the bowl to Xu Congyi to help him with noodles. The noodle stall owner thought that it was not enough and shouted:

"If you don't have enough noodles, you can add more! Don't be modest, I'll give you some more right away!"

The noodle shop owner looked similar to his grandfather, and Xu Congyi couldn't help but refer to himself as his grandson when he spoke.

"That's enough, grandpa. I have a small stomach and can't eat it all, so I gave some to dad."

After hearing this, the noodle stall owner felt relieved.

At this time, a handsome young man came to the noodle stall and said, "Grandpa, let me take your place. You have just recovered from your illness. Take a rest."

"How can this be? I'm not tired, and neither are you. You finally have a day off, instead of staying at home to rest, why are you coming to this noodle stall? I'm not old enough to need you to take over!" The noodle stall owner was a little angry and urged the boy to go home quickly.

Xu Congyi secretly looked at the boy. It had to be said that this was the first time Xu Congyi had seen such a handsome boy, whether in modern times or ancient times. Even though he was not very old, it could be seen that the boy would surely charm thousands of beautiful girls in the future. In modern times, he was definitely a top-tier young hunk!

Unable to persuade the boy, the noodle stall owner sat down and let the boy work for him.

Old man Xu eats fast and finished his noodles first. He started chatting with the noodle stall owner. It turned out that when the noodle stall owner was young, his mother was sick. In order to take care of her, he never got married. Later, his mother passed away, so he signed up for the army. He was injured and retired. Later, he came to Qicheng and has been selling noodles ever since. This boy is not his grandson, but someone he found on the roadside at night. When he was found, he could tell his age, but he refused to tell his name, where he lived, or who his parents were. The boss had no choice but to adopt him and treat him as his own grandson. Although he is not his grandson, he has done his best to train the child and support his studies. The child is also very hardworking. Now he is only sixteen years old, but he is already a scholar.

"Good boy, you are so awesome!" Old man Xu couldn't help but exclaimed.

Xu Congyi listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the boy carefully. The boy did not look like the noodle stall owner at all. He admired him from the bottom of his heart because Xu Congyi knew that the boy was already a scholar at the age of sixteen and could be compared to a child prodigy.

After the family had finished their meal, Xu Congyi took the initiative to pay the bill. In modern times, she was always obsessed with men and wanted to marry a handsome guy. Now that she saw such a handsome young man, she really couldn't help it and always wanted to take a few more glances at him.

The young man skillfully made change and handed the remaining copper coins to Xu Congyi, but Xu Congyi was reluctant to take them. The young man looked up in confusion and found Xu Congyi staring at him.

"Little sister, is there something on my face?" Because he didn't eat due to illness and didn't get enough nutrition, Xu Congyi looked like a ten-year-old child even though he was thirteen years old.

"Ah? Me? Little sister?" Xu Congyi pointed at himself.

"Yes!" the boy replied.

Xu Cong realized it later. She still felt that she was 28 years old. She smiled awkwardly, then suddenly thought of something and asked the boy's name.

"Shen Xiao," the young man smiled and touched Xu Congyi's head, "Go quickly, your family is waiting for you."

Xu Cong turned her head and saw that the whole family had finished eating and were waiting for her to leave.

"Okay, Brother Shen Xiao! My name is Xu Congyi, please remember me! I will come to eat noodles again next time I have a chance!" Xu Cong told Shen Xiao loudly while running towards his family.
