Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 282

Li Yang is a cheerful person. When he heard the elders say this, he smiled and said, "Aunt, I look like my mother. Maybe you know my mother."

Now Li Guihua became interested and asked where he was from.

"I'm from Taohua Village, and the one next to me is my cousin." Li Yang pointed at Li Zhi next to him, and the two brothers smiled politely at Li Guihua.

"Oh, is your mother's name Xu Ya?" Li Guihua exclaimed, and then she remembered who Li Yang looked like.

Li Yang nodded, "Yes, auntie, do you know my mother?"

"Yes, I know you. When your mother married to Taohua Village, I was still unmarried. I had a good chat with your mother. I even held you in my arms when you were little!"

However, no matter how good the relationship is, it will fade after the girls get married. Everyone has to take care of their own family and has no time to reminisce the good memories of their girlhood.

It was only during the holidays when she returned to Taohua Village that she would occasionally run into her old friends and chat with them.

When Li Guihua learned that Li Yang was her sister's child, the smile on her face deepened. She kept asking them to eat more and kept picking up food for them.

When the children left, Zhong Ruyi picked grapes and tomatoes grown at home for them to take back.

At first, Li Yang and his friends blushed and refused. "It's already a big bother for us to come here today. How can we eat and take things with us? Aunt Ruyi, thank you for your kindness, but we can't accept it."

"How can this be considered a disturbance? I'm very happy that you can come and play, and what I give you are all what we have at home. We grow a lot of these fruits at home. If we don't eat them, they will rot in the fields. Everyone has the responsibility to protect food. Can you bear to watch so many fruits rot in the fields?"

Seeing that they still shook their heads and refused, Zhong Ruyi simply took them to the vegetable garden in the backyard, where there was a large field of tomatoes. The tomatoes grew very fast and the family could not eat enough of them.

Moreover, once a tomato falls to the ground, it is very likely to sprout and grow into a large patch. Now every household in the village grows tomatoes, and they won’t even want them if you give them to them.

Looking at this vegetable field full of tomatoes, there are even many that have fallen to the ground and rotted.

The children all felt it was a pity because they actually quite liked eating tomatoes.

Finally, after being fooled by Zhong Ruyi, several people set out on their journey home, carrying small bags filled with grapes and tomatoes.

Zhong Ruyi stood at the entrance of the village and waited until the people walked away before leading Shitou and Xiaohe back. "How was it? Are you happy today?"

"happy!"

"happy!"

The two of them had smiles on their faces all day. After they finished eating cake and fried chicken, they started discussing schoolwork with Li Yang and others. During lunch, everyone gathered together and the atmosphere was very good.

Zhong Ruyi was walking back holding someone's hand when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and found it was Chen Dongzhi who went out this morning.

Shitou Xiaohe was quite tactful. He ran away quickly, leaving the two of them walking and talking slowly.

Chen Dongzhi took out two jade pendants from his arms and said, "This is what the general gave me. He said he couldn't come to our wedding, so he gave me the gift first."

Zhong Ruyi took it and looked at it. The two jade pendants were of different sizes, but both were round. The smaller one fit perfectly inside the larger one.

She was a little surprised, so she took it apart and took a closer look. It turned out that the protruding part of the small piece was inserted into the large piece, just matching the missing part of the large piece.

But when you look at them separately, they are all complete jade pendants, and they don't look out of place when put together.

It was obvious that a lot of thought went into this gift, and Zhong Ruyi liked it very much.

Chen Dongzhi had an idea. In fact, he got more than just the piece given to Ruyi last time he opened the stone. There was also a little bit left, which would be enough to make a pair of jade pendants.

But thinking that Zhong Ruyi already has one, it would seem a bit redundant to give her another pair, so forget it and think of something else.

Speaking of the general, he suddenly remembered the two injured officers, "Oh, right, Linzi injured two officers during the midnight patrol change. One of them seemed to be your second sister-in-law's eldest brother."

Second sister-in-law’s eldest brother from her maiden family?

Zhong Ruyi was stunned.

Then he reacted and asked, "Is the injury serious?"

"It was quite serious. Lin Zai tried to kill himself just to grab the knife and break out, but he was suppressed by the general who came rushing over." Chen Dongzhi also heard what Jiang Ying said.

That Linzi refused to give up. He should have been executed after he told the whereabouts of those children.

But he kept delaying and refused to tell it all because he knew that if he told it all, his death would be near.

"My second sister-in-law probably doesn't know yet. I'll tell her later."

When she returned home, her second brother and his wife were still in the new house and had not returned yet.

She was in no hurry to find them.

"Zhang Mingzhu! Come here!"

Zhong Ruyi was furious and looked at the chicken bones on the ground. Those should be what Xiao Huang had left over.

The dog was still young and could not chew hard bones, so it could only eat the meat and cartilage on the bones.

She had told her family a long time ago that puppies' throats are very fragile. Raw bones are not that hard and can be eaten occasionally, but cooked bones are very hard and can easily cut their throats if not careful.

Zhang Mingzhu didn't understand what was going on and came out of the kitchen. She was just about to light a fire and cook so that people wouldn't criticize her for just eating and not doing anything.

Zhong Ruyi pointed at the bones. Dogs can't talk, but people can always ask, "Where did this come from?"

Zhang Mingzhu felt guilty when she saw the bones. "...I gave the leftovers to Xiao Huang. You can't blame me! Who can resist Xiao Huang who keeps acting like a spoiled child at his feet? I didn't want to do that! I won't dare to do that again next time!"

She knew that Zhong Ruyi had repeatedly warned her not to feed Xiao Huang cooked bones, but she forgot for a moment.

I was so focused on Xiao Huang jumping happily when he ate the bone that I completely forgot about this matter.

"How many times have I told you? Don't feed Xiao Huang cooked bones! This is harming it! What if it gets stuck in its throat?" Zhong Ruyi was almost mad at this brainless guy. She poked her finger at her forehead and started scolding.

"Are you a pig-brained person? I never told you not to feed it to it. Do you think this is good for it?"

Zhang Mingzhu lowered her head and dared not speak.

"Speak to me! Don't cower like a turtle every time you encounter something!"

Zhong Ruyi didn't tolerate her, so she immediately lifted her chin and raised her face. Seeing that she was so scared that her eyes were closed, she was angry and amused, "You'd better remember this! Will you dare to do it again next time?"

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. I will definitely remember it!" Zhang Mingzhu was so scared that her face turned pale. She remembered what Zhong Ruyi said before that the bone cut the dog's throat and no one knew how it died.

After she finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Huang, who was sticking out his tongue and looking confused, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiao Huang, I won't dare to feed you bones next time, will you forgive me?"

"Okay, okay, I don't understand what you are saying." Zhong Ruyi was also very tired. He had been busy today and now he had to watch this bad guy make mistakes.

Zhang Mingzhu went to cook while holding Xiao Huang in her arms.

As soon as her second brother and his wife came back, she told them what Chen Dongzhi had told her, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry yet. Let my second brother go back with you tomorrow and you'll know the situation."

Liu Yu Niang had been fidgeting since she knew the situation, and now she could only force a smile and said, "This is the only way."
