I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Uncle, why did you hide Little Hibiscus in your clothes? Aren't you afraid she'll suffocate?

Yeah! Yeah! If you don't want to hold your darling right now, you can give her to me!

There are so many people shopping on Longsheng Street tonight! I'm worried I might scare Guai Guai. It's better to keep it in my arms!

Are any shops opening today? Why is it so lively? Mu Long, I suddenly realize there are many things you don't tell us.

Haha! Boss, tonight is the grand opening of your tavern! Would you like to come and check it out?

What? Didn't I just tell you about opening a tavern? My tavern opens tonight! Are you kidding me?

Father, actually, your uncle secretly started preparing for this tavern for you two months ago. Because your uncle knows that your long-held wish has been to open your own tavern.

So, is that why you always came to Jiekou in the afternoons for a while? This time, when your mother went back to your maternal grandmother's house, why didn't you go with her? Why did you come with me instead? Is that the reason?

Okay! Also, my uncle has a lot of things he needs my help with!

But do you know that your grandmother's birthday is in a few days? Don't you want to go and wish her a happy birthday?

I'll go to Grandma's house after I finish Grandpa's tavern opening ceremony! But will Grandpa go to Grandma's house to wish her a happy birthday on her birthday?

That's natural! I've had this plan for a while! I just wanted to visit the owner of Longsheng Street first before going there!

Brother! It seems you really value your cooperation with the head of Longsheng Street? But don't you know that the head of Longsheng Street also wants to cooperate with you?

Uncle, you didn't know, did you? Dad specially asked Jianmei and me to catch a bucket of loaches for you in order to visit you!

Haha! Really? It seems Brother Yang is very sincere! Why don't I see any loaches here?

At this moment, Yuqin, who was standing to the side, interjected.

I'm in the kitchen now. My little princess originally wanted to make this for us to try! But I was in a bad mood then, so I didn't make it.

Zhuzhu nodded and said yes! Grandma was feeling a bit down, so I thought I'd make some small cakes for her to try. Because when people are feeling down, eating something sweet can actually lift their spirits!

I've discovered you're such a thoughtful girl! Zhuzhu, will you be my daughter, Mu Long's daughter? I'll spoil you rotten!

Mu Wang joked, "We already know that! Let's not keep saying it! You're such a doting father!"

You're their uncle! You can still spoil them, right?

Little princess, is there another reason you made the cakes this afternoon for your dad's tavern opening?

Hmm! But I also want to open another cake shop and a breakfast shop.

Wow! You two really are father and daughter! You've taken two of my shops right away?

After saying this, Mu Long squeezed Fu Rong's chubby little hand again. Seeing this, Zhu Zhu knew that Mu Long was somewhat nervous!

Zhuzhu walked to Mulong's side and hugged Xiao Furong in her arms, trying to calm Xiao Furong down.

I wonder if you'll like the tavern I've prepared for you, brother? Actually, I really need to discuss it with you first before opening the tavern.

Didn't you bring my homemade rice wine and some of the finest ingredients to the tavern?

Yes! Yes! But without the rice wine brewed by the eldest sister-in-law and the fried loach made by Zhuzhu, this tavern has no soul.

Uncle, don't be so nervous! Didn't I tell you? I also asked Master Fu to bring a grill from the mansion and set it up in front of Father's Tavern.

Little princess, what is a grill? Grandma has never heard of it before.

Hehe! A grill is a rack with burning charcoal underneath where we can put the food we want to eat on and grill it!

Oh! That must be delicious! Grandma, little princess, I'm surprised you know so much! Look how beautifully Longsheng Street has been renovated; little princess, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?

To make Longsheng Street more beautiful, Zhuzhu took out a lot of things from the system. Originally, Zhuzhu wanted to take out more ribbons and balloons, but she thought it would be best to maintain the original characteristics of this era.

Wow! What is that? It's so beautiful! Is it a firefly?

Yuqin picked up the small lantern hanging on the tree branch and looked at it. When she looked up, she saw that there were several small lanterns filled with fireflies hanging on the branches of each tree.

Isn't it beautiful? Actually, I was quite puzzled when the little princess asked me to have someone catch more fireflies by the river a month ago!

Haha! My uncle kept asking me why I needed so many fireflies! I just smiled at him.

Boom! Boom!

No way! What a disappointment! It's raining on such a lovely night.

You're completely wrong to think that way! That rumbling sound wasn't actually thunder. It was the sound of someone pounding tea.

This is a custom in Jianle. Whenever there is a happy occasion in the family, they will pound tea (seven-treasure tea) for everyone to drink.

Zhuzhu grabbed Yuqin's hand and ran off quickly.

Hurry! Grandma, let's go over there and have some Lei Cha! I feel like it's been ages since I've had Lei Cha.

Knock knock knock! Attention everyone! The drama here is truly captivating. It is said that when our street owner and his elder brother founded this street, they endured countless hardships! Only then did they achieve the prosperous scene we see today!

Hey! This opera singer is really interesting! But why can't I understand what he's singing?

Little one, you must be feeling really stifled in there, right? Daddy's going to let you out now!

As he spoke, Mu Long lifted Fu Rong out of his robe. Fu Rong seemed to know what kind of temper her master had, so she obediently lay down on the desk.

Hehe! Why are you always like this? Every time we ask you about something serious, you always use Little Hibiscus to shut people up.

Mu Long knew that this time he had to reveal the story behind Longsheng Street.

My dear brother! You seemed quite troubled when you came back this time. Did something happen to you?

Yes! Actually, my low self-esteem back then caused our family to fall apart! Waaaaah!

Mu Long suddenly burst into tears, which greatly surprised Mu Wang! In Mu Wang's memory, Mu Long was someone who did not easily shed tears.

The fact that he shed tears in front of himself today must mean that what happened back then was a huge blow to him.

Alright! Didn't I teach you that a man doesn't easily shed tears? You're such a grown man, how can you still...

Mu Long got up and walked to Mu Wang's side, then hugged Mu Wang in his arms.

Are you a little reluctant to talk about what happened back then? That's okay! If you don't want to talk about it, we won't!

At this point, Mu Wang gently patted Mu Long's back with his hand.

No! Brother, I must tell you everything that happened back then tonight! Otherwise, I'll suffer too much keeping it all inside! Waaah!

Okay! But not now! Don't you even look where we are right now? Is this a suitable place to talk?

Brother, would you be so kind as to drink with me tonight? To be honest, my heart is really aching right now!

Mu Wang frowned.

Knock knock knock! Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master, may I enter now?

Mu Long quickly wiped away his tears and looked at his older brother standing opposite him.

Come in! What is it?

An old man carrying two bowls of Lei Cha (pounded tea) and several plates of snacks walked up to the Mu brothers and stopped.

This is what Miss asked me to bring up. She said that Uncle and Father had eaten very small cakes, and she was worried they might get a sore throat, so she asked me to bring a bowl of Lei Cha (pounded tea) for the eldest and second young masters.

Hehe! Look how sweet my daughter is! No wonder you always wanted to raise Zhuzhu as your daughter!

What is this? Mu Long raised his chin.

Oh! This is plum-infused egg and pickled chicken feet with Sichuan peppercorns that Miss made! They're so delicious, I just tried one.

Mu Wang picked up the Lei Cha (擂茶) on the desk, took a few sips, and then used his chopsticks to pick up a preserved plum egg from the bowl and put it in his mouth.

It's so delicious! Little brother, why don't you try Zhuzhu's cooking?

Hehe! I'm already so full from eating the little cakes Zhuzhu made at home! I can't eat any more of these delicious things!

Hey! Your personality hasn't changed at all! You have to eat until you're stuffed when you want to eat something! How come you...

I won't listen! This is just a bunch of idiots chanting scriptures.
