Li Xia and his father, Li Shouye, split up when he got married.
At that time, Li Xia and Chu Mengxi were married. It was the Li family's fortune to be able to marry such a virtuous and beautiful wife.
Hence, Li Shouye bought Li Xia a separate house in Shangrong Village.
He bought new furniture, built a new stove, and caught chickens, ducks, geese, and little pigs…
He hoped that the couple could live a good life.
However, the good times did not last long. Li Xia, who worked in the machine repair factory, had a big fight with the leader because of a mistake in his work. Then, he resigned in anger.
From then on, Li Xia had made some friends. He didn't even have a job and just idled around all day, becoming a loathsome street punk.
After Li Shouye found out, he was almost angered to death.
He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. Li Xia's bastard deeds made him unable to raise his head in the entire Xiarong Village.
In a fit of anger, Li Shouye said those harsh words, and from then on, he no longer had any contact with Li Xia.
Li Shouye and his wife and their eldest son, Li Yan, spent the night together.
Although Li Yan did not have much ability, he was a down-to-earth and hardworking person. He used to work in a machinery factory. Later, when the economy opened up, Li Yan found that doing business made money, so he quit his job and started to set up a stall to do small business.
He had sold mops made of cotton cloth, socks, and planted fruits…
He had tried every business, but he was not good at anything.
Li Yan didn't do anything for long. He thought that he was unlucky. Why did others make money, but he couldn't?
Li Shouye naturally knew Li Yan's capabilities, so he scolded him and didn't let him continue to torment him.
Later, with Li Shouye's help, Li Yan opened a small shop selling breakfast on the corner of the street in Linshui County.
Li Yan and his wife made steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and Yang Chun noodles to sell breakfast.
Business was still passable.
After two years, the couple had saved some money and wanted to expand their business.
He planned to open a shop on the busiest West Street in Linshui County.
Li Shouye agreed with this idea and suggested that Li Yan open a breakfast shop.
However, Li Yan's old habit was back. He thought that the breakfast shop was not profitable, but the restaurant was.
Many people who opened restaurants had become millionaires.
Therefore, he also wanted to open a restaurant, and he was very determined.
However, he didn't realize how capable he was. Opening a restaurant was far more complicated and difficult than opening a breakfast shop.
The most important thing in opening a restaurant was to have attractive dishes.
Stir-fried vegetables and hard vegetables of all kinds of flavors could not be cooked casually.
First, he needed to find a reliable chef.
Li Yan didn't bother to look for it. He spent all his effort on the exquisite decoration of the restaurant and invested a lot of money and energy.
When he was about to open for business, he found a chef from an unknown village who cooked a large banquet.
Li Yan had done all of this behind Li Shouye's back.
After Li Shouye found out, he almost broke Li Yan's leg with a stick, but Du Yunfang stopped him in time.
Since the dust had settled, Li Shouye could only accept it.
As the restaurant was about to open, Li Shouye invited the villagers of Xiarong Village to support him.
When the villagers heard that the Li family was going to open a restaurant, they congratulated them and praised Li Shouye's eldest son for his ability and success. He was the first owner of a restaurant in Xiarong Village.
This praise greatly satisfied Li Shouye's vanity. He was a very proud person.
The chef that Li Yan had found was indeed good at cooking. Li Yan had also tried it.
However, the dishes in the restaurant were exquisite and unique, which was very different from the dishes in the restaurant.
On the day of the opening, the seats were full of guests.
However, after serving the dishes, he realized that these dishes did not look like what a restaurant should have. Not only were they sold differently, but the taste was also ordinary.
The villagers of Xiarong Village had originally wanted to try the high-end and delicious dishes of an authentic restaurant, but in the end, it was the feeling of eating a banquet.
Li Shouye, who was waiting at the door, heard the complaints of some of the guests.
Li Shouye walked in and almost vomited blood when he saw the dishes on the table.
He didn't expect Li Yan to find such a chef to cook a banquet. The dishes cooked by him were not presentable at all.
In the future, there would definitely not be any customers.
He had spent so much money to open a restaurant, but in the end, the opening was a mess!
On that day, many guests left after eating half of their food.
However, the money spent was really not worth it, because the food was not worth that price at all.
Li Shouye knew that these people would never come again.
That night, Li Shouye scolded Li Yan and told him to quickly find a proper cook and then send away the one who burned the banquet.
The next day, the chef who cooked the banquet ran away.
Li Yan had been unable to find a good chef, so he could only bite the bullet himself.
In the end, after four or five days of opening, the number of customers who came to eat could be counted on one hand.
After those customers ate, they expressed that they would not come again.
Although Li Yan knew how to cook, his culinary skills were not good. He was not even as good as the one who cooked the banquet.
The restaurant had been operating for a few days, and it was losing money every day.
Li Shouye flew into a rage. That night, he scolded Li Yan fiercely!
……
Li Xia drove the donkey cart back home.
The two children ran out excitedly and pestered Li Xia and Chu Mengxi, wanting to play together.
"If Daddy plays with you, I won't cook dinner!”
When the two little gluttons heard this, they immediately raised their short arms and pushed Li Xia's butt, pushing him into the kitchen.
"Daddy! You don't have to play with us! Go make dinner!"
"Papa! You don't have to worry about us! Do what you need to do!"
Li Xia was amused. In the eyes of the two children, even the sky was not as important as the rice.
Li Xia went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Chu Mengxi went in to help light the fire but was rejected by Li Xia.
"Beloved, I can make dinner myself. I bought new clothes. Try them on to see if they look good and if they fit.”
Hearing Li Xia's words, Chu Mengxi nodded and pulled the two little ones back to the house to try on new clothes.
The two children had not worn new clothes for a long time. Even though it was the new year, the other children had changed into new clothes, so the two of them could only wear old clothes.
At that time, the two little ones cried every day and Chu Mengxi could not coax them no matter how hard she tried.
Now, when they heard that there were new clothes to wear, the two little ones were extremely happy.
When they heard that Li Xia had bought them new clothes, they immediately ran into the kitchen and asked Li Xia to squat down. Then, they kissed his face a few times.
"Daddy is so nice! In the future, when Duoduo grows up, she will also buy new clothes for Daddy!”
"Nuannuan too! When he grew up, he would buy new clothes for his father!”
Li Xia's heart warmed as he patted the two little kids 'heads in relief.
Chu Mengxi put on a light yellow shirt paired with a white floral half set and changed into a pair of newly bought black canvas shoes.
She looked fashionable and beautiful. Coupled with her gentle temperament, it made Chu Mengxi, who was already very beautiful, even more beautiful and moving.
The two little cubs blinked their big eyes as they looked at Chu Mengxi, their mouths constantly letting out cries of surprise.
"Wow! Mommy is so beautiful!"
"Wow! Mama is so good!"
Seeing that Chu Mengxi had put on her new clothes, the two little fellows could not wait any longer and asked Chu Mengxi to help them change as well.
Duoduo and Nuannuan were both wearing French floral dresses. The style was the same, but the color and floral pattern were different.
Chu Mengxi's eyes lit up. After the two little fellows put on their dresses, they looked both fashionable and cute. Their upper bodies were even decorated with puff sleeves and ruffled edges.
Chu Mengxi was shocked. She had originally thought that men had poor taste in clothes.
She did not expect Li Xia to have better taste than her.
The two little fellows held Chu Mengxi's hand and excitedly dragged her to Li Xia.
When a big beauty appeared at the kitchen door with two little beauties, Li Xia, who was holding a shovel, was stunned for a moment.
Chu Mengxi stood there elegantly. Her exquisite face and bright eyes were like a lotus flower emerging from clear water. Her beauty was so clear that one could see the bottom.
A simple shirt, a fashionable floral skirt, and a small print style highlighted a fresh and unique temperament. Coupled with the gentleness in Chu Mengxi's bones, she was simply beautiful and intoxicating!
Li Xia's gaze was burning. He even forgot to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot. He just stared at Chu Mengxi, unable to take his gaze away.
Chu Mengxi felt Li Xia's gaze on her, and her face turned slightly red.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?"
"I'm visiting my wife!"
"It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"I'll never get tired of looking at her. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Chu Mengxi spat and was glib with her words.
The two little ones were unhappy.
"Daddy! Look at Duoduo! Duoduo is wearing new clothes too!"
"Papa! Look at Nuannuan! Nuan Nuan is pretty!"
The two little ones were a little jealous. Daddy kept staring at Mommy and didn't look at them.
Li Xia lowered his head and looked at the two milk dumplings.
They were wearing beautiful floral dresses and had cute braids. Yes, they were indeed very beautiful.
Li Xia was not stingy with his praise, and the two little ones were satisfied.
"Alright, I won't show you anymore. You can just cook properly.”
Chu Mengxi also joked and left the kitchen with the two little fellows.
The smell of oil and smoke in the kitchen was very strong, and she did not want her new clothes to be stained with the smell.
The two children put on their new clothes and were still excited. They jumped to Jiang Shunwang's door next door.
"Grandma Wang! Grandma Wang! Look at us!"
"Grandma Wang! Nuan Nuan is wearing new clothes!"
Aunt Wang had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and was about to go to the village to visit when she heard the excited voices of the two children next door.
He went out.
Aunt Wang saw the two little fellows wearing beautiful floral dresses. They were spinning in circles on the spot, showing off their new clothes.
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up. Wow, the two little fellows looked like two little princesses in their new clothes.
"Aiya! Whose little princess was this? She's so pretty and cute!"
Aunt Wang also praised her generously.
"Hehe ~!"
"Grandma Wang! Is Nuannuan also a princess?"
Aunt Wang bent down and patted Nuannuan's head. She smiled and said,"
"Of course Nuannuan is a little princess!”
"Hehe ~!" Nuannuan was overjoyed.
Aunt Wang touched the fabric of the two children's new clothes.
"Eh? This material…Could it be Dusk?”
Aunt Wang was shocked. The fabric of this 'dacryl' was not cheap. It was several yuan per meter.
The child's parents were really generous to use such good fabric for the new clothes they made for the child.
It seemed that Li Xia was really earning money by selling fish!
Aunt Wang was envious.
……
It was dinner time.
Li Xia brought the dishes to the table. There were three dishes and a soup.
Braised Crucian Carp, Fried Pork with Green Pepper, Braised Bamboo Shoots, Radish Pork Ribs Soup.
Chu Mengxi was speechless.
"Can't we eat something simple?" she said leisurely.”
It was so sumptuous every time. What should he do if his mouth was too full?
"Isn't that simple enough?" Li Xia asked. It was the simplest home-cooked dish! I haven't even made a complicated dish yet!"
Chu Mengxi was speechless and rolled her eyes at Li Xia.
If he were to say such words in the village, he would be beaten up because he was too arrogant!
The two milk dumplings were extremely happy. It would be best if Li Xia could cook such a sumptuous dinner every day.
"Daddy! Stop talking, let's eat quickly!”
"Mama! If you don't eat, Nuannuan will!”
Chu Mengxi smiled and shook her head.""You two little gluttonous cats, hurry up and eat.”
……
At night.
The moon rises above the willow branches.
Li Xia carried the fishing rod, the kerosene lamp, and the big bamboo basket on his back as he continued to fish at night.
The moon was bright and there were few dark clouds, so Li Xia decided to fish for an extra hour.
Don't underestimate this hour.
A professional angler could catch fifty to sixty fish in an hour!
One message per minute was no exaggeration!
The fish in the river seemed to know about Li Xia's nest. Every night at this time, a large number of fish would gather.
Li Xia could see the bubbles rising from the surface of the water.
Today, Li Xia had only taken fifteen minutes to connect the poles.
After that, things got out of hand.
The fish was like a moth to a flame, desperately taking the bait.
Before nine o'clock, the big bamboo basket was already filled to the brim.
Li Xia pulled it up and weighed it in his hand. Good heavens, it weighed more than 150 pounds.
Moreover, there were a lot of goods.
After putting away the fishing rod, Li Xia went to pull the cage to collect the goods.
Just like yesterday, three plastic buckets were filled with river prawns, eel, and loach.
Apart from the river prawns, there were about 50 to 60 catties of eels and loaches.
The eel noodle restaurant consumed eighty to ninety catties of eel every day.
Therefore, the number of earth cages needed to be increased.
After entering the cage again, Li Xia rushed home.
Back home.
The two milk dumplings had already fallen asleep.
Chu Mengxi was lying on the wooden table under the window sill. She had a coat draped over her body as she resisted her sleepiness.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she woke up and walked out of the house.
"You're back?"
Chu Mengxi crossed her arms. The night was a little chilly.
"Hmm? Wife, why aren't you asleep yet? It's cold outside. Go inside quickly.”
Li Xia frowned. What if she caught a cold with so little clothing?
He walked forward and reached out to tighten the jacket around Chu Mengxi's shoulders.
The moonlight was hazy.
Li Xia lowered his head slightly and saw a pair of clear and clean eyes.
The woman's head was slightly raised, and a few strands of black hair on her smooth forehead were brushed by the night wind.
Her warm red lips were like rose petals with dew on them in the morning…
Li Xia's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but kiss her.
She didn't refuse. She closed her eyes and raised her head a little higher.
Chu Mengxi's fair cheeks were dyed red.
They were very close, almost touching each other. She could feel the man's strong and rapid heartbeat.
After a long time…
"Come in and sleep." Chu Mengxi's voice was like a mosquito's.
"I coaxed the two little fellows to sleep today. They were clamoring to sleep with you.”
Li Xia's heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew what sleeping in the house meant.
However, after entering the house, Li Xia smiled bitterly.
How, how can I sleep like this?
The bed was 1.5 meters wide, and the two little fellows took up half of the space.
Duoduo slept very well. She curled up in the corner and didn't move at all. It was just that she liked to eat her fingers after she fell asleep.
Chu Mengxi walked over and took Duoduo's finger out. However, after a while, it started again.
This bad habit could not be changed in a short period of time.
The other little one was the demon king in bed.
She saw Nuannuan sprawled on the bed, rolling here and there. She did not stay still for a moment.
She could kick off the blanket four to five times a minute.
"Uh…this little guy's sleeping posture…should I get a hemp rope to tie him up?”
Chu Mengxi rolled her eyes.
"Go to hell."
"Sigh…let's sleep separately. This bed is too small.”
"Alright then."
It was indeed too crowded when Li Xia slept.
He was tall.
"When I'm free, I'll make the bed bigger and sleep together.”
Li Xia leaned over and whispered.
"Yes." Chu Mengxi's face was so red that it reached her ears.
……
That night.
The owner of Zhang's Steamed Bun Shop found the owner of Chen's Steamed Bun Shop.
The two bosses had a good relationship.
"Old Chen, let's change the time of selling buns tomorrow. I'll do it in the morning and you'll do it in the afternoon.”
"Oh, okay, no problem. But, Old Zhang, why did you suddenly change it to the morning?”
"Humph! Because I'm very angry!"
“？？？”
