Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 59

Zhong Laosan was very happy. He thought Yuru was a very good girl. If his parents saw her, they would definitely like her. Her reputation was only dragged down by her useless brother.

Mother Zhong glanced at her silly son. She had previously thought of finding a thoughtful girl for her younger son because she thought that one thoughtful and one simple would complement each other perfectly.

Unexpectedly, the youngest son fell in love with a girl who was more thoughtful than all the members of the Zhong family combined.

It's okay to be clever, it's normal, but you shouldn't use it in places where it shouldn't be used, and don't even think about using your little cleverness to hurt others.

After hearing what Zhong's mother said, Zhong Laosan felt very proud and wanted to bring Yu Ru to Zhong's mother immediately to let her see what a good girl she was, and not as bad as others said.

Zhong Ruyi carried a small basket and went to Chen's house. She didn't feel anything when she arrived, but when she got really close, she started to get nervous.

Before she arrived, she saw the door of the Chen family opened. Chen Xiaoxue came out with a basin of water and poured it on the vegetable field at the door. When she turned around to go back, she happened to see Zhong Ruyi. A smile suddenly broke out on her face and she called out "Sister Ruyi" crisply.

Before Zhong Ruyi could adjust to his nervous mood, he was bumped into by Chen Xiaoxue who came out. He had no choice but to walk closer slowly. After calling Xiaoxue, he glanced behind her quietly. There was no one there, so she should not be there. It was better that she was not there. She would not feel nervous anymore as she would not have to face him.

As a result, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Xiaoxue shouted inside: "Brother! Brother! Sister Ruyi is here!"

Before Zhong Ruyi could stop him, Chen Xiaoxue didn't give her the chance at all. Seeing that her elder brother didn't come out for a long time, she quickly pulled Zhong Ruyi in.

As she walked, she said, "Sister Ruyi, you came at the right time. I was planning to go to your house to look for Cuicui. A few days ago, she told me that she wanted me to embroider a handkerchief for her but she didn't say what pattern she wanted. I was just about to go look for her when you came. Let's go back together later."

She was being dragged away, her heart beating a little faster. Just at this moment, Chen Dongzhi, who heard the sound, came out of the room. When he saw her, his eyes lit up, "Why are you here?" After saying that, he seemed to feel that his words were not appropriate and said, "I'm very happy that you can come."

The two stood at the door of the room, looking at each other with red faces. Seeing that the two were standing there stupidly without saying anything, Chen Xiaoxue coughed twice, and the two came back to their senses. Chen Dongzhi said, "Xiaoxue, take your sister Ruyi in to sit down."

Zhong Ruyi quickly refused: "No, no, I'm here to give you some hairy fruits to eat."

"Sister Ruyi, please come in and sit for a while. This is your first time in my house." Chen Xiaoxue persuaded her.

Zhong Ruyi shook her head: "No need, Cuicui is still waiting for me at home." Yesterday Cuicui said she wanted to learn to read. She said that the village chief's granddaughter Xiaozhu could write her name, but Cuicui couldn't write it, and she was very frustrated.

Seeing that she really had something to do, Chen Xiaoxue did not force her to stay and winked at her eldest brother. Chen Dongzhi immediately received his sister's gaze, coughed lightly and said, "I'll take you there." After that, he walked to the door to wait for her.

Zhong Ruyi handed the basket in her hand to Chen Xiaoxue and stood aside waiting for her to put all the hairy fruits in the basket into her own small wooden basin before taking the basket handed to her by Chen Xiaoxue.

With a slightly red face, she slowly walked to Chen Dongzhi who was standing in front of the door and said, "Let's go."

Watching the two people slowly walking away, Chen Xiaoxue couldn't help but smile. If modern people saw this smile, they would know what it meant. It was the so-called aunt's smile.

Unfortunately, Chen's mother was not at home. She went to Aunt Zhao's house to talk right after she finished her meal. If she were here and saw her eldest brother and sister Ruyi getting along, she would not worry about her eldest brother not being able to find a wife.

The two walked side by side, and Chen Dongzhi would secretly glance at her from time to time. He saw the sunlight shining through the trees on her face. Her face was white and smooth, with a little pink, her nose was round, and her lips were...

Before he could take another look, Zhong Ruyi turned her head and glared at him. Although it was a glare, it did not have any lethality. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were watery, and when Chen Dongzhi raised his eyes to look at him, he felt that his heart was about to stop.

After being glared at, although Zhong Ruyi didn't seem to be really angry, Chen Dongzhi didn't dare to look any further, for fear of really making her angry.

Seeing that this idiot didn't say anything and just kept looking at her secretly along the way, Zhong Ruyi felt a little helpless. She was beginning to doubt whether he really liked her.

"Brother Dongzhi, did you and my third brother have a fight?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhong Ruyi could only find a topic to talk about herself. Just then she thought of her third brother's awkward look when he came here, so she started asking.

Chen Dongzhi shook his head. "We didn't quarrel. I just told him that day that Miss Zhou might have other intentions. He thought I was gullible and asked me not to say it again. I just said that if you make an appointment with her to go to the mountain in the future, you don't have to come to me. When they are not together anymore, I can still teach him like before. So he has never come to me until now."

"Sometimes when I meet him in the village and say hello to him, he just ignores me." Chen Dongzhi said with his head down, looking very hurt.

Zhong Ruyi was almost mad at his third brother. He thought that the two of them had at least had a quarrel, but it turned out that his third brother unilaterally stopped associating with Chen Dongzhi. Think about how good Brother Dongzhi was to him. He taught him how to hunt, and they split the proceeds from selling the prey in half. It was obvious that Brother Dongzhi had contributed more.

"Brother Dongzhi, please ignore my third brother. He is just like that. He can't tell good from bad. I will definitely scold him when I get back!"

Chen Dongzhi lowered his head sadly, with a look of melancholy on his face, "Forget it, he doesn't understand now, but he will understand my painstaking efforts in the future."

Seeing his look, Zhong Ruyi became even more angry at Zhong Laosan and made up her mind to find a chance to beat him up.

As they were about to reach the Zhong family's courtyard, Chen Dongzhi suddenly asked, "Ruyi, can I call you that?"

This made Zhong Ruyi blush, and she stammered, "Whatever you want, you can call me whatever you want."

Chen Dongzhi also blushed slightly and said, "Then can I come to see you when I go to town?"

Zhong Ruyi wanted to nod, but then she remembered that this was in ancient times, not modern times. Men and women meeting privately would be criticized. Although they both had feelings for each other, in the eyes of outsiders, it was wrong for an unmarried man and woman to have such private contact.

Seeing that Zhong Ruyi didn't respond, as if she was thinking about something, Chen Dongzhi, who had come to his senses, also thought of this and felt very annoyed. He was afraid that Zhong Ruyi would think he was too frivolous, so he quickly changed his words and said, "It's better not to go, so as to avoid being gossiped about."

He felt a little disappointed, thinking that it took a long time for him to see her. When he went to town to see her, he was afraid that people would gossip about him. It was okay for him, but she was the one being gossiped about. He really couldn't accept it because he caused her to be gossiped about behind her back.
