Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 179

It has been half a month since the watermelon seeds and tomato seeds were sown behind the house. Most of them have sprouted and grown a few leaves. Only the ones bought from the vendors have not grown.

They are growing too densely, so I called Jiang Rong and Jiang Yun to help spread out the seedlings and leave some distance between them so that they can grow well.

Two days passed quickly, and Zhong Ruyi took Jiang Qin back to town. He had been raising rabbits for more than ten days with Chen Dongzhi these days, so he was a little uncomfortable going to town.

"Sister Ruyi, didn't you tell me to raise rabbits with Brother Chen? Is the restaurant in town going to open?"

Zhong Ruyi nodded, "It's almost done. Let's go back and clean up the store first. The tables and chairs should be delivered in the next few days."

When the group was almost reaching the town, they met an old couple on the side of the road. They were carrying backpacks on their backs, holding hands, and walking shakily.

Zhong's mother was sharp-eyed. She pointed at the old couple in front and said, "My daughter, do you want to have some goose stewed in an iron pot tonight?"

"Big goose? Where did the big goose come from?"

"Look! Aren't those geese in their backpacks?" Mother Zhong said, pointing ahead.

Zhong Ruyi took a long time to see it clearly, and she couldn't help but admire her mother's good eyesight.

"Then let's ask them if they are selling it. If they are, then we will buy it."

"Okay!" Mother Zhong stepped forward quickly, "Old man! Old man!"

The old couple didn't realize that they were being called and just moved aside.

It wasn't until Mrs. Zhong stood in front of them and asked them if they wanted to sell the goose that they realized what was going on and quickly said, "Sell, sell, sell!"

Jiang Rong and the other two looked confused and puzzled.

Jiang Qin whispered, "Sister, I think they look a lot like Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan..."

Jiang Rong also thought they looked very similar. It was not until Mother Zhong bought the goose and showed their front faces that she was able to confirm that they were Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan.

"It's them! Xiaoqin, it's really Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan!"

Zhong Ruyi saw their excited faces and wondered if they had met someone they knew.

Sure enough, Jiang Rong came over carefully and said, "Ruyi, I know this old couple. They are from the same village as us and they take good care of us. Can we go and say hello to them?"

It was just a greeting. Zhong Ruyi nodded and watched them walk up to talk to the two old men with excitement.

The old lady looked at the children walking towards him with a look of surprise, "Xiaorong, Xiaoyun, and Xiaoqin? Why are you here?"

Jiang Rong held the old lady's hand, his voice a little choked, "Grandma Fan, how have you been recently? Do your feet still hurt when it rains?"

The old couple burst into tears and couldn't utter a word.

Mother Zhong looked at the old couple who had just sold her a goose with a confused look on her face. She was talking to Jiang Rong and the others, and seemed to be very familiar with them.

She asked curiously, "My daughter, do Xiaorong and the others know this old couple?"

"Xiao Rong said they were from the same village and that she had taken good care of them in the past, so I wanted to go and say hello."

Soon, Jiang Rong brought the old couple to thank Zhong Ruyi.

The old couple trembled and were about to kneel down, "Girl, you are really a good person! Thank you for saving these children! Thank you so much!"

Zhong Ruyi quickly helped the old lady up, and the second brother grabbed the old man and used all his strength to prevent him from kneeling down.

"If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Don't kneel down so easily." Zhong Ruyi said in a gentle voice and winked at Jiang Qin, indicating that they should persuade him more.

Jiang Qin wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Grandma Fan, Sister Ruyi is very kind to us. We are all living well now. Don't be sad."

Grandma Fan's face was full of tears. "How can I not be sad? I woke up this morning and heard that you were sold by that old witch of the Jiang family! Your Grandpa Fan and I searched several villages around and couldn't find you. I didn't expect that you were sold to the pawnshop in town. Don't I know what a pawnshop is?"

"This damned old witch first sold your mother, and now she's selling you too! She will get her comeuppance sooner or later!"

The youngest, Jiang Yun, had already started crying, and when she thought of her mother, she couldn't hold back any more.

Jiang Rong was fine, but her eyes were a little red. "Grandma Fan, you don't have to worry about us. We are doing well now. You and Grandpa Fan should take care of yourselves."

Grandma Fan nodded, and Grandpa Fan took out the hundred coins that Mother Zhong had just used to buy the goose and returned it to Mother Zhong, "You saved these children, so the goose is for you to eat, and you can keep the silver."

"No! No! This won't do!" Mother Zhong shook her head and waved her hands to refuse. "Old man, you should keep the silver. You can't just give away the geese that you raised with so much effort!"

After some refusal, Zhong's mother forced a hundred coins into the old lady's arms.

Seeing that each of them was carrying a backpack, Zhong Ruyi knew that they were going to the town, so she invited them to go with her.

On the way, the old couple of the Fan family asked Jiang Rong a lot of questions. When they learned that they still didn't know where their mother was sold to, the old couple's expressions were not happy.

But looking at the faces of the children and the way they were dressed, I knew they were not treated unfairly, and I felt a little comforted.

When they parted, Grandma Fan said, "Xiao Rong, you have met good people, you must repay them well, and when you have a promising future, you must find your mother back! Do you understand?"

Jiang Rong and his brother nodded vigorously, "We all know it, Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan, take good care of yourselves and don't worry about us."

Mother Zhong smiled and waved at them, "Aunt, please come to our store for tea next time!"

Several people watched them staggering towards the market.

"Let's go." Zhong Ruyi said gently, "Next time we have a chance, we'll invite them to our store. Now let's go back first."

Back in the store, Aunt Chen heard the voice coming over and said excitedly, "Ruyi! Ruyi!"

"Hey! Auntie, what's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhong Ruyi's voice came from the yard.

Aunt Chen entered the yard in a flash, and said excitedly, "Ruyi, what are you doing? Aunt has something to tell you."

Zhong Ruyi packed up the things she brought and turned around to ask Aunt Chen, "What's wrong? Aunt, let's go sit outside and talk."

When they sat down, Aunt Chen looked very excited and said mysteriously, "Ruyi, you were away for the past two days so you didn't know that someone from the wealthy businessman Yu's house in our town came to look for you!"

"Looking for me?" Zhong Ruyi's eyes widened. "What do you want to see me for?"

"They said you saved their young master, so they came to thank you. But I was not there the first time they came, and the second time they came just when I came back from my mother's house. They asked me why your store was closed. I thought they were here to cause trouble, so I didn't dare to say anything. Who knew they came to thank you."

Saved their young master?

Zhong Ruyi touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

She had completely forgotten about saving someone and couldn't remember it for a moment.

Speak of the devil, here comes the devil, at this moment a shout comes from outside the door.

"Excuse me, is Miss Zhong here?"

"We are from Master Yu's residence."
