After the Republic of China

Chapter 984: Reunion

Happiness is always contagious.

Shao Yunshi knew about her aunt's happiness through the phone. Old Madam Yan also felt Shao Yunshi's joy through the phone.

Then, Old Lady Yan became interested and asked directly, "Aunt Man, I plan to welcome your grandfather and his family outside. Where do you think is good?"

It’s a chaotic situation outside now, but the concession is relatively safe.

Shao Yunshi didn't ask why the guests were being entertained outside. She just thought about it and suggested, "Then choose a restaurant close to ours."

Old Madam Yan thought it was too sloppy, so she said, "I heard from Madam Wen that there's a restaurant run by an imperial chef outside. Shall we go there and have some meat?"

"Okay." Shao Yunshi agreed without thinking too much. You know, the old aunt never asked for this.

Old Madam Yan was happy to see that she agreed readily, but she was also worried and asked, "Will it be unsafe?"

Shao Yunshi said hurriedly: "What a coincidence, I know this restaurant, it's in our concession, it's called Yushanfang."

What a coincidence! That’s good. Old Madam Yan is happy.

Shao Yunshi hung up the phone and went straight to find someone.

Luo Cheng came quickly, "Miss, do you need a car?"

Shao Yunshi knew that they had heard that the old aunt was coming, so she smiled and said, "We do need a car, but I didn't call you here for this."

"Is there anything else?" Luo Cheng asked hurriedly.

Shao Yunshi asked, "Do you know where Ah Biao's rented apartment is?"

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been there, but I heard from Brother Feihong that it should be possible to touch it."

Since coming to Shanghai, Yan Biao seems to have found a new life. Not only has he expanded his network, but he has also broadened his horizons. His mentality is completely different from before.

Even Mrs. Yan, who had always opposed his marriage, lowered her voice a lot.

The Huang and Lin families are all like this; this is the way the world is.

Yan Biao is no longer the sensitive young boy he was before. Not only is he no longer afraid of his family’s opposition, he rarely goes home and almost always lives in Shanghai.

He just laughed it off as to the changes in his marriage, or even accepted them with pleasure.

Shao Yunshi felt good about his change. If a boy doesn't have such a broad mind, then it's over.

The two were as close as siblings. They were both in Shanghai, and as Yan Biao changed, they got along better and better.

It’s a pity that Yan Biao is a boy with a wild heart, so the two of them don’t meet often.

When Shao Yunshi heard that Luo Cheng had found out where A Biao lived, she was happy and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. It would be best if you could ask him to stay here for a while."

Luo Cheng and Yan Biao were still talking, and seeing this, he hurriedly asked: "Then should I go call him now?"

Shao Yunshi thought about it and said, "That's fine."

Luo Cheng turned around and prepared to leave, but Shao Yunshi shouted again: "Tell him that the old lady misses him."

Luo Cheng was puzzled, "Old Madam Yan is coming?"

"Well, she's coming to stay for a while." Shao Yunshi smiled.

This is easier to handle. Yan Biao attaches great importance to Old Madam Yan. Luo Cheng hurried out.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Shao Yunshi knew that he was feeling bored at home.

Thinking about the tastes of her mother and grandfather, Shao Yunshi hurried to the kitchen again.

Xiaodong followed her and couldn't be stopped.

In the kitchen, the Zhang family's three members and the maid were busy working.

When Chef Zhang saw the eldest lady coming, she wiped her hands quickly and greeted her with a smile, "Miss, why did you come here in person?" Chef Zhang was busy, so he greeted her and continued with his work.

Everyone gets along well with each other, so the Zhang family now feels very comfortable facing the young lady of the host family.

Shao Yunshi looked at the excitement in the kitchen with satisfaction, "I just came to take a look. You all know about grandpa and mom's eating habits, right?"

Cook Zhang said hurriedly, "I know everything. Sisters Maoya and Caihua came to explain it personally."

Shao Yunshi had previously talked about the taboos of her grandfather and his family. Now, Mao Ya and the others have repeated it, making it more complete.

"Okay, that's good to know. No need to be too complicated at noon, just keep it light, as we'll have a banquet in the evening." Shao Yunshi said with a smile.

The kitchen had already received the notice. Chef Zhang smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Miss. We all know. You should go back and have a rest. It's very hot here now because the sun is high in the sky."

Although there was an electric fan in the kitchen, it was still hot and smoky.

Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Shao Yunshi just left.

As soon as she left, everyone in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing everyone like this, Chef Zhang laughed and scolded, "Our young lady is a kind person. Look how scared you women are."

The kitchen helper was hired temporarily from Shanghai.

An honest-looking lady smiled and flattered, "The young lady of the host family is naturally a kind person. Otherwise, how could we come here and get such a high salary?"

When Shanghai was stable, small families and businesses could still be maintained.

Now that the economy is in a recession, there are too many unemployed people and many pitiful and lamentable things.

Shao Yunshi sympathized with the family's financial difficulties, so she paid the maids a good salary. Everyone was very grateful for being able to come to the Shao family to help.

As soon as the kitchen helper expressed her gratitude, everyone joined in.

Seeing how grateful they were, Chef Zhang nodded secretly, "Okay, now that you know the master is kind, then show your true abilities and serve him well."

After hearing this, everyone became more excited, and everyone wanted to stay based on their own abilities.

Chef Zhang saw all of this and turned around to continue working with peace of mind.

Shao Yunshi had no idea what was going on in the kitchen. She was walking slowly, thinking about what to do next.

She didn't feel tired, but after all the arrangements, Xiaodong felt tired for her.

"Senior Sister, do you want to call Ximei back?" Xiaodong helped Shao Yunshi sit down.

After returning to the living room and sitting down, Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, "It's hard for you to miss her, but don't worry, Mom and the others will stay for a long time."

Xiaodong smiled and said, "I was thinking that if my old aunt comes, she must bring Mother Wen with her. I'll also ask Ximei to come so we can get together."

That's right, Shao Yunshi said, "Then ask her if she's free."

"Okay." Xiaodong thought for a moment and then said, "Will the old man and his family always live here with us, or will they move to the new house?"

It's hard to say. Shao Yunshi shook her head and said, "I'll ask grandpa what he thinks later. If the Lu family doesn't need to host a banquet, they probably won't move."

Xiaodong likes the hustle and bustle, "It's the same if we host a banquet at our house."

Shao Yunshi gave her an unpleasant look.

Xiaodong also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. Maybe they're short of help."

Shao Yunshi didn't point out the fact that she had just returned from the kitchen, and stopped her, saying, "Don't rush to the kitchen. I really have something to tell you now."

Xiaodong immediately became excited when he heard this, "What is it? Senior Sister, just tell me, I will definitely get it done."

Shao Yunshi rubbed her head and said, "Stay away from me for now. It's very hot."

Xiaodong knew that his senior sister was afraid of heat, so he looked at himself blocking the fan and chuckled twice.
