"Where have you been?" Xu's face turned pale, and he asked me in an unkind tone.

"I just went out for a walk, what's wrong?" Are you going to say that I don't keep women's morals again?

The next thing was completely beyond what I thought, I saw Xu Shi get up and point at me, tears popping up in his eyes: "You, the mother-in-law of a loser, since you are already a wife, you should take care of it, run out all day long, and don't care about your family." Now, the only savings left in the family have been stolen by thieves, and they are all the dishes I have saved for Ran'er to enter Beijing to take the exam...... What to do now, it's all gone, it's all gone......"

I was surprised, how could this be? I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to lock the door when I went out. It's really a mess now, why am I so careless......

"You get down on my knees." Xu shouted.

I got down on my knees, and this time I was really wrong.

"Mother, don't be angry, Xiao Li didn't mean it."

"Shut up!" Zhuo Ran interceded for me, and was scolded by Xu's family: "You said that you, a man, your daughter-in-law can't manage it well, where is the majesty, what can I do in this family in the future!" ”

Zhuo Ran knelt down next to me: "Mother, it's the child's fault, the mother raised the child so big, but the child can't share the hardships for the mother." If you want to beat or scold, your mother will please. ”

"You get up for me, I want you to take care of your daughter-in-law, no matter how hard your mother is, how tired she is, she is willing." Xu wiped away his tears, pointed at me and said, "Today, you have knelt here for me to reflect on, and I have to let you remember it for a long time." After speaking, he sighed and shook his head, and said, "Where do I want to raise this money?" And he went to the back.

"Zhuo Ran, I'm sorry!" I apologize to Zhuo Ran beside me.

"I don't blame you, get up." Zhuo Ran said.

"Your mother will be angry, I'd better wait for her order." I said, my knee was already hurting a little.

"It's okay, I'll talk to my mother!" Zhuo Ran said that he got up first, and then came to help me.

Get up, just get up, there's no need to push on. With his hand on my feet, I slowly stood up and rubbed my knee to relieve the pain. Throw it aside, Chang Yanxiao borrowed my umbrella and put it away.

"It's useless to be a scholar, after reading a bunch of broken books, but you can't do anything, what's the use, it will only drag down the people around you." Zhuo Ran blamed himself.

In this era, what a scholar pursues all his life is to stand out from the scientific examination, and nothing else is really of great use.

"Don't worry, when you go to Beijing next year to take the exam, I will definitely make up your travel expenses." I said, looks like I'm going to have to open quickly.

Zhuo Ran looked at me suspiciously.

I smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't steal, I won't rob, and I won't do anything embarrassing." ”

"I already owe you a favor, I can't owe you anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in the future." Zhuo Ran said.

"You don't owe me, I owe you." I say.

"You owe me? No kidding, we've only known each other for a long time. Our family is so miserable, if you want to leave now, I won't keep you. Zhuo Ran sighed.

"I won't leave you until you have a good life." I say.

"What if I were like this for the rest of my life?"

"I'm not worried about this, I believe you can live a good life."

Even if he's been like this all his life, what I have is time.

"Why are you doing this? We're not really a couple, and you don't need to be nice to me like this. Zhuo Ran said again.

"How are you mother-in-law, forget it, I won't talk to you, what I want is my freedom."

I guess they haven't eaten lunch yet, so I went into the kitchen to get lunch.

Zhuo Ran followed: "I'll help you." ”

I pushed him out: "No, no, you can go see your mother." I'm fine alone. "With him, can I still cook this meal!

"Okay then."

After Zhuoran left, I repeated the old trick of turning raw rice and lettuce directly into cooked food on a plate.

On this day, I was really tired to the extreme, and I had to look at Xu's face again, and I had to coax her and let her get rid of her anger quickly. I was amazed at this patience.

In order to open the store as soon as possible, I tried my best to sneak into the store every day to get some things I needed, and finally after 10 days, everything was ready and the staff was almost recruited.

There are three cooks, two kitchen workers, twenty small ones running the hall, and the other two shops are responsible for hygiene. In order to look uniform, I customized the uniform outfit for them.

The opening date was set, and before that, I specially prepared an advertising banner and asked someone to make it, and then hung it at the gate.

I didn't tell Zhuo Ran's mother and son about all this, for fear that if I didn't do it well, they would be happy in vain.

Finally, the opening date I set was up, and in order to create a lively atmosphere, I also invited a group of lion dance folk artists.

When the firecrackers are lit, the sound of "crackling" explosions indicates that the store has officially opened. When the red silk cloth on the plaque was uncovered by my own hands, several gilded characters of "Wei'er Xiang Hot Pot City" were revealed.

The lively scene attracted many onlookers.

"Our store is open today, and on this festive day, the delicious and fragrant stove is only half price, only half price. Uncles, aunts, big brothers, big sisters, little brothers, little sisters, little sisters, don't miss the ......"

A loud, clear man shouted at the gate as I commanded.

"It's really only half price, go in and have a look!"

There are already people who can't help but be curious and go inside.

"Thank you, thank you for your support!" The shopkeeper Hu Ping thanked the people who entered the store on my behalf.

"Boss Bai!"

Just as I turned around and went back to the store, Chang Yanxiao's voice came from behind me.

I turned around, and Chang Yanxiao behind me hugged my fist with a smile on her face: "Boss Bai, congratulations!" ”

"Chang Gongzi, don't laugh at me, please come in, I'll have a treat today." I laughed.

"Hey, what's the matter, you opened today, I can't take advantage of you. By the way, I also brought three friends. Chang Yanxiao said and introduced his three friends to me one by one, all of whom were children of wealthy families in the city.

Of course I don't know them, I heard them from the introduction.

Chang Yanxiao and his friends stepped into the store, and I personally arranged a private room for them to take a seat.

"How about Boss Bai not dine with us?" Chang Yanxiao said.

"Yes, Boss Bai, this son has never seen a woman with such intelligence and courage!" An older man who looks a little older than usual, said the son-in-law surnamed Wu.

"Yes, yes, Boss Bai really makes me admire! Why don't you dine with us as Brother Chang said? Another surnamed Qin said.

"A few people are exalted, and the little woman is better than obeying her fate."

I sat down with them, and I have to say that these people were really gentlemen, and they were all elegant in their conversations, and I could only laugh and listen to them.

When the hot pot soup and side dishes were served, after they tasted it, they took turns to praise it, and I was a little fluttering when I heard it.
