Chapter 52

When Tang woke up, the whole family let go of the big rock in their hearts.

It will open the next day. Since Tang was fine, they left Ling Ziyu to accompany her, and Ling Muer would lead the others to arrange some chores for the opening. For example, if the opening is auspicious, it is not enough to just set off a string of firecrackers, and it must be well advertised. Although many regular customers expect to be able to eat their food earlier, they know that other than dumplings, it is egg rice. Tomorrow, let them understand that Ling's restaurant is completely different from the previous roadside stalls. They can taste more delicacies here.

It's still cold now. In order to let more people know about their Lingjia Restaurant, she decided to arrange a promotional event.

In the evening, the whole family gathered around Tang's room for a meeting. In the originally spacious room, everyone sat in a circle, making the room look crowded.

"Tomorrow morning we will open, and we will put a pot of soup at the door, and all kinds of delicious ingredients are cooked in the soup. Those ingredients are cut into small pieces and skewered on wooden sticks. I named them Chuanchuan. "Ling Mu'er explained to the Ling family: "Tomorrow, everyone who passes by will give a bunch, so that the whole city will soon know about our store. In addition, tomorrow all dishes will be 50% off. Dad , mother, brother, eldest brother, uncle, and Mr. Nangong, tomorrow will be very busy and chaotic. Everyone must work together to hold on!"

"Mu'er, if you're too busy, I'll buy some maids for you. You don't have to worry about it." Nangong Yizhi yawned.

Ling Muer looked at Nangong Yizhi with a half-smile. The latter froze while yawning, and carefully glanced at the unhappy Shangguan Shaochen next to him.

"Pretend I didn't say it." Nangong Yizhi said with a dry smile.

Ling Mu'er said lightly: "Even if my family wants to buy a maid, that's my business. Mr. Nangong is just a visitor, and he has to go back sooner or later. Don't worry about our family's affairs. If you want, you can help us tomorrow .If you don't want to, you can stand by and watch, and I won't blame you."

"Miss Mu'er, Grandma Mu'er, I know I was wrong." Nangong Yizhi noticed that Shangguan Shaochen beside him was breathing slightly, knowing that he had offended this ancestor, he quickly apologized.

With Nangong Yizhi's status, this kind of petty business really doesn't look good. If he wanted to use money, there would naturally be countless people who would please him and send it over. He never knew it was so hard to make money. When Ling Muer was describing the busyness of tomorrow, he instinctively wanted to be the hands-off shopkeeper. What he didn't know was that Ling Muer hated this kind of useless dandy the most. What he admired was a man like Shangguan Shaochen. Therefore, he and Shangguan Shaochen are very compatible.

"Apologizing is useful, what do you want to arrest?" Ling Mu'er replied to Nalan Yizhi, looking at him with a half-smile. "How about this! In order to show your sincerity, I will give you the job of delivering skewers to the guests tomorrow. My brother's leg injury is still a little blemish, and it hasn't completely healed. There will be a lot of people tomorrow, so brother don't run around outside. , lest others bump into you. If your leg hurts again, even I don’t have the confidence to heal it completely. So tomorrow, my brother and mother will do odd jobs in the backyard together, and do some things to handle the dishes.”

"Alright, listen to Mu'er." Before Ling Zixuan could speak, Yang Shi who was beside him nervously agreed. "Xuanzi's leg injury is recovering in sevens and eighties, there must be no mistakes."

Ling Zixuan felt helpless for being a big man but could only do some light work, but he also understood that this was the best arrangement. He can't let his family worry about it.

Ling Zixuan had no objection, but Nangong Yizhi had a strong opinion. He is a majestic young master, but let him show his face outside? Of course, he is a man, so it doesn't matter if he shows up in public, as long as he is allowed to do such a shameless thing. If it gets out, where will his young master Nangong's face be put?

Nangong Yizhi instinctively wanted to refuse, but his dear cousin was staring at him from the side, his sword-like eyes were full of threats. Due to the man's lustful power, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to acquiesce to the arrangement.

"What am I doing?" Ling Dazhi looked at Ling Muer expectantly.

"And me?" Uncle Yang Daniu also looked at Ling Muer.

The two men were in their prime of life. If it were any other family, everyone would be the head of the family, but in their family they are not as good as a little girl. However, the two men are self-aware, even if Ling Muer is a little girl, she is much better than them. This family will be rich today because of this little girl.

Ling Mu'er smiled and said: "Tomorrow there will be so many guests, of course father and uncle will be responsible for entertaining them. Because the back kitchen is all up to me, I can't do without the back kitchen. The front yard only depends on you few men. As for eldest brother, Eldest brother has a good brain and knows how to settle accounts, so the job of cash register belongs to elder brother."

"Everyone has something to do, but I, the old woman, can't do anything." Sitting there, Tang sighed: "If I could be five years younger, and my eyes were not blind, I would be able to help with chores. It's a pity that when I get older , is a burden!"

"Who said grandma is a burden? We all have things to do. Yu'er and Xiaohu are young, and the two children like to mess around the most. They still have to rely on grandma to watch over them! There will be a lot of people tomorrow. If they run out and get kidnapped What should I do if I'm gone?" Ling Muer blinked at the two children while talking.

The two children are not stupid, and they know what Ling Muer means. Yang Xiaohu took Tang's arm and said sadly: "Grandma, Xiaohu can't live without you!"

Ling Ziyu has a dull temper and doesn't like to talk. Although a lot has changed during this time, I still can't let go in front of people I don't know well. He walked over and took Tang's hand. Although he didn't say anything, he clearly expressed his intention to comfort Tang.

Tang couldn't see it, but he could still feel it. Her two old palms were held by two tender children, and the warm little hands were held by her, and her heart felt soft.

"Good boy." Tang choked with sobs and said, "This old lady deserves her life."

Many old sisters in the village were rejected by their sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren at her age. He is obviously the old man in the family, but he eats the worst food and is often scolded. I'm getting older, I can't walk, I can't see, I can't do things anymore, and when I stay at home, I get more air and less air, and I can endure this kind of life every day, even if I feel aggrieved, I have to swallow my breath. In contrast, his son is filial, his daughter and son-in-law are filial, and his grandchildren and grandsons are all filial. How happy she is!

"Grandmother, where's the cotton coat I bought for you?" Ling Mu'er said, "I know you don't like to wear thick clothes, but you should wear them when you sit on the bed."

"The kang you made for me is very warm. Grandma has never been so comfortable as now. This is the most comfortable winter I have ever lived." Tang said with a smile.

"Your grandmother said it's not cold, so don't wear it! You're so old, but you just like to worry about it. When you get married, who can stand your temper?" Yang shook her head and laughed.

"It's too early to say these things now, I will be with my mother for ten years." Ling Muer said with a curled lip.

"Ten years?" Nangong Yizhi was astonished. He tugged Shangguan Shaochen's sleeve. "Cousin, is she in her teens now? In another ten years, she will be an old girl."

In this era, people get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Ling Mu'er is completely able to marry now. Just because the family is poor, no one wants to come to get married. Things are different now. Their family can make money. I believe that in a short time, the threshold of their house will be trampled down by the matchmaker.

Yang Shi did not expect Ling Muer to say such a thing. Who would want to marry an old girl in her twenties? How could this girl have such a ridiculous idea?

Just as Yang Shi wanted to teach Ling Muer a lesson, Ling Muer yawned and said with a tired face, "I'm so sleepy! I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I'll go back to my room to rest first."

"Forget it, I'll talk to you another day." Yang Shi didn't want to torment her, so she let her go back.

Ling Muer winked at Shangguan Shaochen where Yang Shi didn't see it. A smile flashed in the latter's eyes, and his face was full of pampering.

When Nangong Yizhi saw the interaction between the two, he had a look of hell. You must know that this cousin has no good looks towards anyone. Even his own sister has never been favored by him. I thought he was born with a heart of stone, but now I know that stones can also move people's hearts, but they are not the one who makes stones move people's hearts.

What's so good about this girl? Although she is different from ordinary village girls, her brain is also very smart, but it doesn't make him such a dear cousin so rare, right?

Or, he doesn't know this girl well enough? Do you want to get to know her better?

After Ling Muer left, the others also dispersed. Mrs. Yang was worried that Mrs. Tang would not be used to living in a strange place, so she stayed that night to chat with Mrs. Tang.

Originally, Ling Muer arranged for Ling Ziyu to live in a room alone, while Yang Xiaohu lived with his uncle Yang Daniu. After all, Yang Daniu raised Yang Xiaohu up, and it has been like this for all these years. However, it is rare for Yang Xiaohu to have a playmate, and he is also his cousin, so he wants to be with Ling Ziyu no matter what. The Ling family saw that Ling Ziyu also liked Yang Xiaohu very much, so they let the two children live together, which can be regarded as a companion. Fortunately, the big bed originally given to Ling Ziyu was made according to the size of an adult, and it could fit two children.

"Cousin..." Nangong Yizhi followed Shangguan Shaochen into the room. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately noticed the difference between the master's room and the guest room.

Although the decoration style is very similar, but Nangong Yizhi's room is a guest room, and guests are usually arranged to enter it. So it was empty inside, with little furniture. Shangguan Shaochen's room was different. The Ling family sincerely regards him as their own relative, so the design here is not only according to his preferences, but also the things inside are very exquisite.

There are also earth dragons in Shangguan Shaochen's room. As soon as the two came in, they immediately felt warm. He sighed comfortably: "I really don't want to go!"

"You followed me in and delayed my rest time just to say this?" Shangguan Shaochen took off his coat and went behind the screen to change into thick pajamas.

Nangong Yizhi stared at the clothes on Shangguan Shaochen's body. He stretched out his claws, and greedily touched the clothes on his body: "Get dressed for me."

"Get out." Shangguan Shaochen narrowed his eyes and slapped his paw sharply. "One more word of nonsense, and I'll beat you up. Aren't you afraid to see people? It happened to hit you in the face so that even your aunt didn't recognize her, so you don't have to worry about showing your face outside and affecting the face of your young master of the Nangong family. "

Nangong Yizhi retracted his hand in embarrassment, and touched his nose.

It turned out that what he was thinking just now, my cousin could tell at a glance! This guy really knows him.

"Brother, my dear brother, if someone recognizes you, it will be troublesome! Do you want to bring trouble to the Ling family?" Nangong Yizhi persuaded Shangguan Shaochen from another angle.
