232 Tenderness

Before Li Banxia left, he left a lot of silver taels for his family.

The family doesn't have to worry about expenses now, they have food and drink at home, and they don't need to spend any money. In addition, Ma's likes to pick some vegetables from the garden and send them to the town to sell, and he can also help subsidize the family and earn some oil and salt money.

As the saying goes, once born, twice ripe. Not to mention, after the Ma family ran around the town for a long time, he also met the owners of several restaurants and restaurants. These bosses see that the vegetables grown in her garden are good, and every time she goes, they buy some. Some even specially agreed with her and asked her to send her there directly next time.

When people in the city eat, they pay attention to the original taste and nourishment. I heard that the old hens in the countryside are all domesticated, and it is not like the chickens in those chicken farms that taste tasteless, and the chickens in the countryside are really nourishing.

The owner of a restaurant told Ma what he meant, and after a few days, Ma really caught an old hen that had been raised for several years.

Ma is a long-term person, although the family is very frugal in terms of food and drink, but it does not mean that she is a small family.

The boss saw that Ma didn't say a word, so he caught the old hen that had been raised at home for several years for her, and even praised this woman for being a man. On the same day, it was cloth and roast duck, and a piece of silver was given and stuffed into Ma's. He also asked Ma to bring her another chicken when she came over next time, and the best thing was to help her inquire if there was anyone in this village who wanted to sell old hens. If so, give her more, her relatives and friends want to eat this authentic old hen in the countryside.

As soon as Ma returned to the village, he immediately helped to inquire about this matter, but fortunately, there were not many others in the village, and almost every household in Yaya. Just the old Liu family, there are more than a dozen of these ** ducks together.

This is the second time. Ma brought three old hens to the restaurant owner, and politely brought a basket of eggs to others. The boss was so grateful that he looked at the old hens jumping around on the ground, and the basket of cleanly washed eggs, and was so enthusiastic that he had to leave Ma there for lunch.

Listening to Ma's words, this person was polite to her, and she treated her as a sister from the bottom of her heart. Originally, they planned to keep her there for one night, but she didn't worry about her family. I want to come back. The boss also called a carriage for her and sent her to the outside of Dayang Village.

And Ma also praised the boss for being good. Not only does it not look old. He is good-looking and very capable. A woman who takes care of a huge restaurant well.

She called her Sister Ma, and in Ma's heart, she also regarded her as her own sister. Last time when she came back. He also said that he would go to the countryside to see her when he was free another day.

The boss was a woman in her forties, surnamed Cao, several years younger than Ma, and it was normal to call her sister.

That Boss Cao is a poor woman, and life is not easy.

She was an orphan. Once there was a big flood in her hometown, which washed away her house, pigs and cows. also took her father and mother. At that time, she was lucky to escape because she was at her grandmother's house. However, losing both parents in one day, for the child's Cao Xinzhi, it is better to go with her father and mother-

Since then. Cao Xinzhi lives with her grandmother. Her grandmother was a very kind old man, even if she was too old to move. still do his best to care for Cao Xinzhi's growth.

When her grandmother knew that her time was running out, she said a family affair for her. Her grandmother only hopes that her granddaughter will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and live the rest of her life smoothly.

In this way, she married into the Deng family, and the son of the Deng family has been weak and sickly since he was a child, but he is not a bad person. The Deng family is well-off and runs a restaurant.

After Cao Xinzhi entered, he and the young master of the Deng family were also harmonious and respectful. She didn't mind that the other party had a sick and weak body, because it was this sick and weak body that accompanied her through twenty spring and autumn. Again and again, he used his thin shoulders because of illness to support her down, and let her gently snuggle and lean on her when she was tired.

By the end, she even fell in love with the herbic smell on him. In the past, a girl rejected him, thinking that he was a medicine jar, but in getting along day by day, Cao Xinzhi fell in love with this medicine jar who had to drink medicine every day.

Young Master Deng himself didn't expect that his sick body could support it for so long, and Master Deng and Mrs. Deng didn't expect it. They all believe that this is the credit of Cao Xinzhi.

Because of her company, Young Master Deng didn't want to die, and he was reluctant to die-

Young Master Deng slept quietly on an autumn night. When he was leaving, he still hugged Cao Xinzhi tightly. For a while, Cao Xinzhi didn't believe that he really left like this, and thought that when the sun rose the next day, he would wake up as usual.

Then let her sit in front of the bronze mirror, and he gently pulled her hair and combed it in a bun.

Young Master Deng's hair bun is not good-looking, but Cao Xinzhi still asks him to help comb his hair every day, and he can't put it down. After Young Master Deng died, Cao Xinzhi never combed the same bun as him again.

That bun is like her most precious memory, deeply left in her heart-

After Young Master Deng died, his father-in-law and mother-in-law also died within two years, and Cao Xinzhi was the only one left in the family.

Although Young Master Deng left her a small restaurant and a lot of silver, after all, there is no person in the family, what is the use of having more money?

Young Master Deng, because his health has not been very good, the two of them have no children. After Young Master Deng went, Boss Cao was alone in the restaurant.

She wanted to go with him, but Young Master Deng had seen through his mind early in the morning and wanted to keep her. So he solemnly asked Cao Xinzhi to promise him that even if he was really gone one day, she would live well and take care of his restaurant for him.

That's his life's work!

He wanted to keep her and use that restaurant to keep her, he knew that Cao Xinzhi would understand what he meant, and he also knew that she would definitely not let him down and make him feel uneasy.

Young Master Deng died, and Cao Xinzhi suddenly became alone. She lived alone, alone, with everything in the house in pairs, and now she was alone.

But on the other hand, she is not lonely in her heart, because she has such a warm memory, which is enough to support her through the road ahead.

Besides, she still has the restaurant he left for her, which he worked hard to support his sick and weak body. She wants to protect the restaurant like she guards the good memories they once shared together.

That restaurant has a nice name.

Zhixin Restaurant.

At first, the restaurant was not called that, but he insisted on changing it. Knowing your heart, Cao Xinzhi, in this life, I hope your heart is like my heart-

There are also people who once advised Cao Xinzhi to find another one while he was not too old, after all, women always have to rely on someone. Cao Xinzhi smiled and shook his head, in this life, apart from that Young Master Deng, who can be her Cao Xinzhi's support?

She would rather live alone, she still has many things to remember, she is not alone.

Later, those people saw her and thought that she would live her own life, and it was up to her. The relationship between her and Young Master Deng, they all saw it in their eyes.

Women are very dead-eyed. When they fall in love with someone, no matter that life or death, a heart is in that person. will also be willing to live and die because of her lover's words.

Young Master Deng has been dead for some years, and Cao Xinzhi is still alone. She is a widow and runs a restaurant, and she is always taboo about certain things in order not to let others gossip. Although she is in the restaurant during the day, she rarely shows her face, especially when she laughs with male guests.

This woman treats people warmly, but does not make people feel the slightest frivolity. Because she is only enthusiastic about female guests, or a very small number of female guests, she is always unpretentious and unsmiling for male guests.

This person is not suitable for opening a restaurant. But she just has the ability to keep the restaurant left to her by Young Master Deng in an orderly and impressive manner.

She likes to live a simple life, and she also likes to get along and deal with simple and simple people.

Ma is exactly such a person.

A kind Sister Ma from the countryside, Cao Xinzhi once said to Young Master Deng who she had gone.

After Young Master Deng left, her life remained the same. Every time you eat, you must draw two pairs of chopsticks and put two bowls on the table. Then at the time of eating, he told Young Master Deng about the events of this day, big and small, no matter how big or small.

When Ma came to sell vegetables the first two times, Cao Xinzhi hadn't paid attention to it. Until one time, she met her on the road and bought her some potatoes.

When she was about to arrive at her restaurant, she heard someone calling her behind her. As soon as I turned around, I saw that the eldest sister who had just bought vegetables was panting and running towards her, saying that she had just remembered that she had made a mistake, and that the price of potatoes had been reduced today, and that she should have been given two more potatoes per catty.

Cao Xinzhi was stunned at that time. This eldest sister who sells vegetables chased her two streets just to tell her that she gave her two potatoes less?

No one knows better than her that there is a half-hour journey from the place where she sells vegetables to her restaurant. Running so many miles just to give her two more potatoes.

No matter how others understood it, Cao Xinzhi was shocked by Ma's approach anyway.

She stretched out her hand, slowly took the two potatoes, turned around, and was about to enter the building.

When she stepped over the threshold, she thought about it, and then turned back to the eldest sister who was shopping for vegetables and said, "Eldest sister, I like your food very much, and if you come over next time, you can also send some to my restaurant-"
