The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

She was a woman wearing an emerald silk dress with only a wooden hairpin in her hair. She looked very plain and had a white veil on her face, making it difficult to see her features.

The woman walked between the tables, asking the female guests at the tables with them something.

The waiter said proudly: "That's our boss, he's very smart! And he's not just smart."

As he spoke, he looked at the general and his wife, whose hair was mostly white, and whispered, "Our boss is still very beautiful. We have always said in private that we don't know how outstanding a man must be to be worthy of the boss."

He Xiangan and his wife smiled at each other and said, "Do you have any recommended dishes? Please serve them to us."

The waiter said happily: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away, so you can taste the delicious food of our Suining City!"

After seeing the waiter walk away, the two of them stared at the pretty figure. They felt a little distressed when they saw her moving among different groups of people with ease.

"Our granddaughter could have studied in school, learned to read and understand, and gone outings with her sisters. Why would she have to suffer like this now?" He Xiangan looked at the busy figure, his lips trembling slightly.

Although Madam He felt a little distressed, she was more proud and said, "Although our granddaughter has worked hard, when I was young, I followed my father and brothers to fight the enemy and fought bloody battles. I didn't have the good life you talk about."

"Besides, shouldn't our granddaughter be very proud of herself for having achieved so much on her own?"

He Xiangan sighed and said, "I am proud, but it doesn't stop me from feeling sad. We were forced to do that in the beginning because of the circumstances. Now that we have the conditions, I naturally hope that the children can live a better life."

The two didn't say anything more, but just kept staring at the figure, occasionally putting some food into their mouths to avoid attracting too much attention.

……

Guo Xin has been running around shopping malls and restaurants these days.

She kept lobbying those shops and offered them many discounts, and they finally agreed to move into her mall. In this way, she didn't have to worry about her mall being just an empty shell after it was built.

That day, she went to the hall to ask for diners' opinions as usual, and was about to go to the kitchen to inspect as usual before going to the mall.

Suddenly, she turned around and saw a gray-haired couple looking at her. When they saw her looking back, they immediately pretended nothing had happened and lowered their heads to eat hot pot.

Guo Xin looked at herself, then pulled the maid beside her and asked, "Is there anything dirty on me?"

The maid walked around Guo Xin and shook her head, "No."

Guo Xin nodded and signaled the maid to continue working. He looked at the couple again and thought that maybe it was his illusion. He thought they were staring at him and walked towards the kitchen.

She looked at the busy cooks in the kitchen and paused. It seemed like she had seen this gray-haired couple a few days ago. As for why she noticed them, it was because there were very few elderly people coming here to try new things, so she remembered them at once.

However, she had been very busy these days, so she didn't take it to heart when she saw it. She just thought that they loved hotpot very much, the old man was craving for it, and as a family member, she didn't stop them from doing their filial duty.

But thinking back to the couple's eyes, she felt that something was not right. She also felt that someone had been staring at her these past few days, but that look was not malicious, so she did not take it seriously.

After all, ever since she started doing business, many eyes have been staring at her, so it's nothing surprising to have one or two more eyes.

After thinking about it, I walked towards the couple.

He Xiangan and his wife were concentrating on eating the hot pot, but their minds were not on it. Several times, the slices of meat they took out of the pot fell onto the table.

Mrs. He saw Guo Xin walking towards her from the corner of her eye. She kept gasping for breath and thinking about what to say next. If she revealed her identity directly, would it scare her?

But if I don't reveal my identity, how long will I have to wait before I can be recognized?

He Xiangan on the side was not in a much better situation. He kept stirring the pot with a pair of chopsticks, trying to pick something out, but he could not find anything.

Guo Xin came over and said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, what do you think of this hot pot?"

Mrs. He stared at the little girl in front of her, trying to see her appearance through the veil. The corners of her mouth moved a few times, but she said nothing.

He Xiangan choked up a little and said, "It's delicious. We've been eating it for a few days in a row. It's really delicious. The person who invented this is a genius."

Guo Xinle said: "Grandpa, although this hot pot is delicious, there is no need to be so excited. If grandpa and grandma really like it, I will make your table free of charge today. You can just recommend your friends to eat here in the future."

Although Guo Xin could hear something wrong in their tone, he didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't know anyone of that age. If he had to say there was someone, it would only be the Second Ancestor who interrupted them some time ago and the neighbor's old lady.

Therefore, she thought that since she didn't know them, then they could only be grandpas and grandmas who came here because of their reputation. If she could use a small profit to attract more grandpas and grandmas to eat here, then her hot pot restaurant would have a lot of new diners.

Thinking of this, Guo Xin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He Xiangan nodded after hearing what Guo Xin said and said, "Can you help us cook some new dishes? We don't know how to cook yet."

Guo Xin nodded. Originally, waiters were arranged to help serve dishes at each table, but the mall also needed manpower recently, so some people were transferred over. Therefore, there was no waiter beside the old couple at this time.

She used chopsticks to pick up some thinly sliced ​​beef and put it into the pot until it changed color. She immediately took it out and put it into the couple's bowls, saying softly, "Grandpa and Grandma, the meat can be eaten when it turns this color. Otherwise, it won't taste good if you boil it for too long. Would you like to try it?"

When Mrs. He put a piece of meat into her mouth, tears suddenly flowed out. She was extremely lucky to be able to eat the meat cooked by Chengde's daughter in this life. However, they have not recognized each other yet.

She looked up at Guo Xin, and her eagerness could no longer be tolerated. Her eyes were full of excitement and love, but she was afraid of scaring the little girl in front of her, so she changed her mind and said, "You look a lot like an old friend of mine. Seeing you always reminds me of her."

Guo Xin heard the tremor in her voice, handed her a cup of warm tea, and comforted her: "Then Madam can come to see me more often. Seeing me is like seeing her."

"He is my son. He was stolen away when he was just born. Although I don't know if his appearance will change when he grows up, I always remember what he looked like when he was just born. You look a lot like him then."
