Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

Ever since I set up the diet plan for my daughter, Xiaoxinghua's daily life has become miserable. Every morning she has to get up half an hour earlier to go for a run. This time, Luo Feng is really determined; he drags his daughter out of bed early every day, without fail, except when it's windy or rainy.

If her daily morning runs were just the beginning, what Xinghua found even more unacceptable was the change in her diet. Little Xinghua was angry because her father no longer allowed her to eat meat products, not even a proper sip of meat broth. He used to tell her she could eat whatever she wanted, but now she could only drink millet porridge and eat vegetable buns every day.

Xinghua had considered resisting, but all her tricks were useless. Acting coquettishly, pitiful, even rolling on the ground, couldn't sway Luo Feng in the slightest. Instead, Luo Feng often threatened her, saying, "If a girl doesn't pay attention to her figure, she'll be disliked by the boy she likes in the future, and then she'll really become an old maid who can't get married. If that day ever comes, let her become a nun."

This trick worked! Xinghua had heard that once someone becomes a nun, they can only eat vegetarian food for life. They can't even touch a drop of animal fat, let alone meat. If they secretly eat meat, they will be severely punished. Xinghua couldn't even imagine such a life.

Under these circumstances, Xiaoxinghua had no choice but to endure it. Anyway, her father said that as long as she persevered for a few months until her weight returned to normal, she could make up for it all at once by eating a good meal.

Luo Feng naturally had no idea what his daughter was thinking. If he knew that Xinghua had such thoughts, he would worry again, since overeating is not a good thing for a child.

Days passed, and another week went by in the blink of an eye. Luo Feng's life remained the same; he spent his days at the shop, occasionally visiting the wedding venue, seemingly content. Now that Hu Zi had fully mastered his craft, he managed everything at the shop perfectly, big and small, requiring no further attention from Luo Feng. It had to be said that Luo Feng now realized how wise his initial decision had been; not only had Hu Zi gotten on the right track, but he had also gained a valuable assistant—a win-win situation!

He lifted the curtain separating the kitchen from the kitchen and glanced inside at Hu Zi, who was busily working away. Luo Feng stood there grinning smugly, just as he bumped into Xiao Tian, ​​who was carrying a plate out. Xiao Tian looked at Luo Feng curiously, wondering what he was doing.

Before Luo Feng could finish feeling smug, he heard someone calling his name from the doorway.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, quick, help me out, get a table full of food." As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tou rushed in anxiously.

"What's going on? Why are you here? Don't you always cook for yourselves? Want to get a meal to take home and have a treat?" Luo Feng was puzzled as to why Shi Tou would come over at this time. This period coincided with the peak wedding season, and to avoid impacting wedding business, Wang Dana and his group decided to cook in the courtyard themselves. From the end of September to the beginning of October, people basically had nothing to do, and weddings, of course, had to be held on a day when everyone was together.

"What? That's not how it is. Bamboo Pole brought their parents here, and they're with us now," Stone said, waving his hand.

"Hey, I didn't expect Bamboo Pole to be so quick! It's only been a few days!" Luo Feng immediately became interested. It seemed that the lessons he had given this kid hadn't been in vain. No, he had to find some time to go and see for himself, at least to find out if his lessons had been effective.

"I understand. You came here to prepare the dishes to entertain your parents, right? Where's that kid, Bamboo Pole? I haven't seen him anywhere." Luo Feng was puzzled. Usually, it was the son who would handle these kinds of things, since it was his parents who were visiting, and he was meeting his partner.

"Oh, don't even mention that kid. Yes, ever since his parents came, this kid's been grinning at everyone he meets, his eyes are practically squinting from laughing so hard." Stone gave Luo Feng a brief description of Bamboo Pole's smug behavior after he got carried away.

"Alright, Brother Feng, hurry up, everyone's waiting."

"Oh dear, since the two elders are here, why bother sending them food? Let them eat at the restaurant. I'll cook for them myself and save them a table."

"That's not a good idea. There are so many people in the store, and it's disturbing your business."

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's more lively with more people. If you feel that there are some things that are not easy to talk about here, we can set up a table upstairs."

As Luo Feng spoke, he instructed Shi Tou to go back and call everyone. The wedding courtyard would be temporarily closed for the day, since he wasn't short of money anyway. Then Luo Feng turned and went into the kitchen. After all, Zhu Gan had been his old brother for so long, so he had to personally cook this meal to make sure the two elders were satisfied.

Besides, he could also sound out the situation at the dinner table and try to finalize the bamboo pole deal. They were all old brothers who had followed him for so long; it would be a way of giving them a proper explanation.

It wasn't that I wanted to get involved in this matter, but Wang Dana and Zhugan had a very unpleasant argument about meeting the parents. If I wasn't there, who knows what might have happened since they had both been drinking? So, for the sake of harmony and stability, and for everyone's future unity and friendship, it was necessary for me to attend.

"Speaking of which, should I ask my parents to keep an eye out for me and introduce me to someone suitable?" This thought suddenly popped into Luo Feng's mind.

However, he quickly shook his head, pulling himself out of his reverie. This meal was crucial; he couldn't afford any mishaps due to his negligence, or he'd ruin his own reputation.

With this in mind, Luo Feng threw himself wholeheartedly into preparing the delicious dish. This time, only Hu Zi was left in the kitchen to help out. Helping out mainly involved washing and chopping vegetables, and tending the fire. As for anything else, Luo Feng didn't let Hu Zi do it. There was no other reason than that he didn't want to tarnish his reputation; he wanted to do everything himself so he could feel at ease.

Because they received the notification from Shi Tou at the last minute, preparing the meal naturally wasn't quick. However, since they had received confirmation from Shi Tou that Luo Feng would personally cook, the people in the wedding courtyard were incredibly excited. You see, since Hu Zi completed his apprenticeship, Luo Feng had practically never been in the kitchen, let alone cooked himself. Everyone hadn't eaten a meal cooked by Luo Feng in a long time.

Under these circumstances, the group arrived quite quickly. Sure enough, the dishes were still being prepared when everyone had already arrived.

"Haha, Bamboo Pole, you're something else! You've really got it all. We're really benefiting from your success this time." Wang Dana said with a laugh, giving Bamboo Pole a punch.

"Go easy on me! What if you hurt him?" Xiao Cui suddenly said this, which infuriated Wang Dana. However, since Zhugan's parents were present, he couldn't lash out. So he could only glare at Xiao Cui and say:

"Girls are so outgoing, you can't keep them even if you want to."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Cui then realized how inappropriate her words had been, her face turning as red as an apple, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Seeing Xiao Cui's blushing face, the laughter grew even louder. Even the customers eating in the shop couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard their conversation. For a moment, the shop was filled with cheerful laughter.
