Because Mrs. Zhu was not in high spirits, except for Zhu Yanmei, no one at the dinner table said anything. Hongzhu also looked at Mrs. Zhu's mother and daughter twice, while Cheng Wenhan was good, he only hung his head to eat delicious food during a meal, and only Hongzhu secretly made a grimace when he looked at him.

After finishing dinner without being salty, Mrs. Zhu went back to her room to rest, and Li was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but she didn't think that Zhu Yanmei would also stay to help. Hongzhu looked at it, and after a little hesitation, she didn't go back to the room. Cheng Wenhan paused, pouted secretly, and went back first.

Zhu Yanmei glanced at the red beads, and smiled at Li: "Third sister-in-law, I also favor you today, this bacon and this dried fish are what I loved to eat when I was at home in the past, and the third sister-in-law still remembers it." I don't know how to do it at home! This time I tasted it, but I felt that the third sister-in-law's craftsmanship was really speechless, and it was comparable to the chef of Nazhiya Building!"

Hearing her praise like this, Li Shi smiled a little crampedly, and only said: "Where do you deserve such a sentence, the people in Zhiyalou invite the chefs of the capital to cook, and I can't compare." ”

Zhu Yanmei smiled, "What about Zhiya Building, I heard my mother mention it, saying that you are also going to open a restaurant?

Seeing that she was smiling sincerely, Li also replied with a smile: "The shop is with Second Brother Li, but the small business cannot be compared with the big restaurant." As he spoke, he picked up the dirty dishes and chopsticks, and Hongzhu followed him to the kitchen with the leftover dishes and others.

Zhu Yanmei also took a soup plate casually, and asked as she followed: "Is it a joint stock with Li Er, I don't know how much you occupy? This shop is found there, is the time for the opening of the shop set? Is there anything left to prepare?"

Hongzhu turned her head and glanced at her quickly, and Li Shi was a little surprised when she heard her question carefully.

Seeing them like this, Zhu Yanmei smiled on her face, and explained: "The third sister-in-law is not strange, I think that after all, we are close to each other here, and we are working together to discuss, isn't it better to do things? ”

Li Shi was a little moved when he heard this, "Yanmei ......"

Hongzhu would never let the Zhu family interfere in the restaurant, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, what you said makes our mother and daughter very grateful." In fact, the shop is also generous to Uncle Li, and he just gave us a little dry shares, and he only said that the capital was not enough to make up for it later...... The shop is now found, as for the rest of the decoration repairs, adding things and so on, it is all done by Second Uncle Li, where do I and my mother know this, and I don't know how to say it, it's about the same as my aunt said, we can only do some rough work. She glanced at Zhu Yanmei and said, "I see that the shop is almost cleaned up today, so I don't have to worry about my aunt." ”

Zhu Yanmei was slightly stunned when she heard this, and seemed to be a little unconvinced, "This joint stock shop, still owes the capital?"

Hongzhu laughed out loud and said unhurriedly: "Auntie, don't you still think we are rich people." And he said, "If we have money, won't we open this shop ourselves?"

Zhu Yanmei paused before laughing and said, "This little mouth is really good at talking." Looking at Hongzhu as if he was a little emotional, he said: "When I was still at home, Hongzhu was still a child, and now she has become a big girl." I used to be happy when I looked at it, and I didn't know why at first, but now that I think about it, isn't it a little like me!"

Hongzhu was surprised when she heard this, and said with some surprise: "Really?" Hearing Zhu Yanmei say good things like this, Hongzhu didn't feel close at all, but was suspicious in her heart, so she just smiled modestly at the moment, and said deliberately: "I see others on weekdays, but most of them say that I look like my father." In the vague memory of the original body, her father Cheng Guitang was really a handsome scholar, and he had a poetic and bookish temperament, which was much better than her uncle and uncle. And her mother, Li, is a southerner, with a beautiful appearance and gentle gentleness, and the red beads are naturally not bad with them. But she has a lot of energy, which is a little different from the Li family.

Zhu Yanmei listened to it but said homeopathically: "Isn't it, I have been similar to the third brother since I was a child, if it weren't for the fact that we were different in age, we would have twins." Others say that you look like the third brother, so it is even more similar to me. ”

"Yes, maybe. Hongzhu was amused, and turned around to put the leftovers neatly on the high cabinet on the other side of the kitchen.

When Li heard that Cheng Guitang was born, his expression changed slightly, as if he was reminiscing and sighing, and said: "Hongzhu is like her father, but Wen Han is more like his grandfather." ”

Zhu Yanmei looked at Hongzhu, rolled her eyes, walked closer to Li's side, and sighed: "I don't know what kind of evil I have done, the third brother went at a young age, leaving the third sister-in-law alone and raising two children, I sometimes think about it, and I feel sad for the third sister-in-law." ”

Li rolled up his sleeves and washed the dishes and chopsticks in the cauldron, and when he heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and his movements stopped.

Zhu Yanmei looked at her face, and asked again: "My third brother's affairs have been going on for almost three years, why, the third sister-in-law hasn't heard the slightest news?"

Li sighed, and his face also showed some sadness, "What news can there be, it's been three years, if there are really any clues, I would have found it a long time ago." ”

Zhu Yanmei snorted and complained: "Could it be that if you kill my third brother, there is no explanation? This life, not to mention being in a prison cell, even if you have to pay a few hundred taels of silver!"

Li was sad and silent.

Hongzhu frowned when she heard it, and couldn't help but ask more suspiciously, "What kind of statement, what hundreds of taels? Aunt brought it up so suddenly, could it be that she knew any news?" Although Hongzhu didn't have much affection for Cheng Guitang's father, he was very good at treating his original body in memory, and Hongzhu became his daughter, and he was also worried about his accidental death. According to her thoughts, the carriage that hit people but had no shadow was like a hit-and-run in modern times, if there was a way, of course, it would be good to chase the prisoner out, not to mention revenge, so that this matter would have a clear result, and it should be regarded as a reward for the kindness of this father.

Who knew that Zhu Yanmei only shook her head and said, "Where did I know any news...... It's just that I think of your hard days, and I'm just worrying about it in vain. ”

Seeing her answer like this, Hongzhu had nothing to say.

Zhu Yanmei smiled at Li again: "Third sister-in-law, you are a blessed person, Hongzhu is capable, Wenhan is smart, and no one needs to worry about your children." If you wait for Hongzhu to marry a good family in the future, Wen Han's scientific examination will be an official, and you will become a lady. ”

Li was coaxed by her like this, but he was really happy, and he lost his previous sadness, and only smiled and said: "I don't think about it anymore, now I just want to have a good life and raise my children to grow up." Our mother and son are safe, we can live a good life, and we are happy in our hearts, which is enough. ”

Zhu Yanmei was a little surprised when she heard her open-minded, "The third sister-in-law can think like this, and I am also relieved." He looked at the red beads, and said: "It's just that if you don't think about it in the future, you won't be able to do it, isn't this a mother who is thinking about the future of her children? Just look at my sister-in-law." After that, he seemed to think about it and asked, "Third sister-in-law, I don't know how you think about Hongzhu here?"

Li and Hongzhu were stunned when they asked this, Hongzhu didn't need to say it, he had always thought that there would be at least three or two years to live. And the Li family, although he didn't say that he hadn't thought about it at all, he didn't get in a hurry, and he didn't expect Zhu Yanmei to ask about this matter at this time, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Yanmei didn't feel uncomfortable, she looked at Hongzhu with a smile and said, "Hongzhu, go and see your Sister Biyun......"

As soon as the ordinary little girl heard about her family's affairs, no matter what she felt in her heart, she was so embarrassed that she immediately avoided it. But Hongzhu is not an ordinary little girl, where would she be sent away by Zhu Yanmei with a word. And Zhu Yanmei, Hongzhu is still a little jealous in her heart, for fear that her tongue and lotus flower will make Li dizzy. Therefore, Hongzhu didn't leave, but replied with a smile: "What does my aunt want to say, I'm only a few years old." ”

Zhu Yanmei smiled and explained: "Oh, it's not that I'm nosy, but I've always been in a hurry to do this family business!" She looked at Li and said very sincerely: "Third sister-in-law, it's not that you don't know what happened to me back then...... This daughter's family can't afford to delay. ”

When Li saw her mention the sad things of her early years, his heart was also moved, and he wanted to say something when he opened his mouth.

Hongzhu understands her mother best, but I'm afraid that Zhu Yanmei will speak intimately tonight, Li had already listened to it a little, and then Hongzhu hurriedly interrupted: "Auntie, I'm a bold person, and my family doesn't pay attention to the shameful things, if you have anything to say, I'll listen to it with my mother." ”

Zhu Yanmei was very surprised when she heard this, she didn't think that their family would have such a cool girl, and even her own family affairs would have to be discussed? She hesitated to see the Li family, but saw that the Li family was not in a hurry or annoyed, but actually agreed with Hongzhu's behavior. Zhu Yanmei was shocked and angry, her eyes rolled, but she felt that this red bead looked more and more like her. In this way, it may be more appropriate to say to Hongzhu. She smiled and said, "Yes, you are also a high-spirited person, so my aunt will chat with you for a few words." ”

Hongzhu smiled, waiting as if listening to a story, and the smile on his face was seen in the candlelight, but in fact, he was still a little innocent, not like a sophisticated and cunning person.

Zhu Yanmei looked at Li and said: "Third sister-in-law, it's not me who said you, this Luo food shop, the work is very hard, the third sister-in-law is not afraid of hardship, but I am poor Hongzhu, she is a girl's family every day, and it is not a good thing to be mixed with market vendors after all......"

Hongzhu's heart moved when she heard this, but she didn't speak. Li sighed with emotion and nodded silently.
