Chapter 429 Gathering
Nanzhi was in a better mood, and most of her depressed mood had dissipated.
While waiting for Shen Zhiyu and Xiaomi to come back, they saw her setting up a barbecue in the yard.
Liu Da and An Wazi were busy on the side.
Since Nanzhi stopped going to the restaurant, Uncle Ping and Liu Da would come to the City Lord's Mansion every three days to report to her on the situation of the restaurant.
Although the business of Sanweiju is not as good as before, it is still pretty good. Now it can generate about fifty taels of income every day.
"Master, do you want to eat this?" An Wazi held up a roasted chicken leg in one hand and two bunches of potato slices in the other.
The little baby has grown a lot taller in the past six months, and his voice has become thicker, but his face still looks honest and silly.
"I won't eat." Nanzhi smiled and rejected his kindness, looking at Anwazi with eyes full of love.
I don't know if my son will look like this when he grows up.
But thinking about the little guy's increasingly cheerful temperament, Nanzhi felt a little warmer.
"Aniang!"
Shen Zhiyu had been away for four days. He originally thought that if he didn't go this time, he could stay at home with his mother-in-law.
As a result, as soon as Aniang heard that the master was taking them to visit a scholar, she rushed him and brother Xiaomi to go together.
Today he was the first one to get up, just to rush back to the city for the first time.
"Zhiyu and Xiaomi are back?"
The weather is very good today, and the sun is shining warmly on her body. It is rare that Nanzhi is not holding a heater.
"Mom, have you missed me these days?" The little guy wanted to go over and hug his mom, but he was afraid that the coldness on his body would contaminate her, so he only gently tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"I've thought about it." Nanzhi smiled and narrowed his eyes, rubbed his head, and noticed Xiaomi who was a little lonely beside him. Nanzhi waved to him again.
The little doll's face was originally full of envy, but now he saw Nanzhi's actions, his face turned red and he became a little embarrassed.
"Xiaomi, come here quickly and let me take a look."
"Okay, okay." The little doll was a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he moved over and walked over, with joy in his heart.
"How have you been playing these days?"
Nanzhi looked at the two dolls with a smile, the sunlight falling on her body looked particularly gentle.
"Very, very good."
Xiaomi is living a good life in the Lin family. Her originally sallow face has long since become fairer. Now she is wearing a green bandana and she no longer looks as embarrassed as before.
The little baby's face was red with embarrassment, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Did you suffer any bullying?"
"No."
Xiaomi shook his head and answered Nanzhi's question seriously.
An Wazi on the side was eating meat and looking at them with a little envy in his heart.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoquan saw him looking at his employer and the others in a daze, and came over curiously.
"It's nothing, I just miss my grandma and the others a little."
An Wazi curled his lips and felt that the meat in his hands was no longer fragrant.
"Hey, what does this mean? From now on, I will be your eldest brother, and my mother will be your mother." Lin Xiaoquan patted his chest proudly, knowing that his little brother's life experience was a bit miserable, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loyalty in his heart.
"good."
An Wazi's eyes were red and she nodded in agreement.
The two and a half-year-old boys recognized their brothers in a crude way. Lin, who was mending clothes at home, suddenly felt the tip of his nose was itchy and sneezed uncontrollably.
"Sister-in-law of the Lin family, are you catching a cold?"
The woman next door looked surprised and expressed concern.
"No, no, it's time for my son to miss me."
Nanzhi asked a few more questions, and then asked the two dolls to go back and change their clothes.
Shen Wenchen should be back today.
Since I became pregnant, my emotions have been ups and downs, and even my mood has been affected.
It just so happened that he came back this time and we all had a meal together.
"Master, the stove here is almost ready!" Liu Da wiped his face and brought some of the charcoal ash on his hand to his face.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest first."
Nanzhi spoke, and then they all put down their work and sat aside.
Today, the boss has said that the restaurant and courtyard will be closed for the day, and everyone will gather together in the city lord's mansion.
They have never entered the city lord's mansion.
Let alone the city lord's mansion, how many people have never even seen the yard of a wealthy family.
After hearing that he could come here today, even Wang Sheng was a little more looking forward to it.
In the past, it was rumored that the city lord was arrogant, extravagant and dissolute, and his food and clothing expenses were not inferior to those of the powerful men of the dynasty.
This city lord's palace was built after the original county government was demolished.
Come to think of it, who doesn’t want to see something?
In the kitchen, Ms. Zhao felt her palms getting sweaty as she looked at the two-meter-long ingredients.
This time today, we really have to show our true abilities.
"Brother Xu, how are you going back now?"
Uncle Ping drank hot tea and touched Xu Chou beside him with his elbow.
Nanzhi told Xu Chou about his father two months ago.
But Xu Chou and his mother-in-law had worked hard together for so many years, and they still didn't want to see him.
Until half a month ago, Xu Chou suddenly dreamed of his mother-in-law.
In the dream, Aniang’s hair was still long black braids, and she would always hug herself and talk softly at night.
Everything he said was about his father.
After waking up, Xu Chou became even more silent.
He is already in his forties.
My mother-in-law has been waiting for that man for more than forty years. Even if he has his own difficulties, why is he not even willing to send a letter?
After two days of this, Uncle Ping finally went to talk to him and finally understood his dilemma.
The two middle-aged men chatted all night, and Xu Chou came to the city lord's mansion early the next morning.
After telling him his thoughts, Nanzhi didn't say much. He only told him the village where Qingfeng Village was now registered and gave him half a month's leave.
It wasn't until three days ago that Xu Chou came back.
"I saw him. What he said was different from what A-niang said."
Xu Chou looked at the sparrows looking around on the roof, feeling a little disappointed.
The man can't see people clearly now, and even has some difficulty walking.
The old and haggard face became energetic again the moment he heard that he had arrived.
He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Like, suddenly relaxed.
At least he wasn't doing well.
Auntie has suffered all her life, so why should he live well?
Xu Chou did not stay in the village for long, he only stayed one night and then left.
Before leaving, Aze asked himself to thank his employer. He wandered on the river like this for several days until he got off the boat three days ago.
He is not a generous person.
He didn't want to recognize that man as his father.
When the sun began to glow a little orange, the Lin family entered the door one after another.
Nowadays, the old couple of the Lin family simply live in the yard behind the snack shop, and the Lin family brothers also have the habit of living in their new home.
When I saw Nanzhi now, everyone's eyes were filled with distress.
