Chapter 22

Lunch is very rich, including vinegar potato shreds, fried pork belly, fish head with chopped pepper, pearl cauliflower, braised pork ribs, homemade tofu, eggplant in oil, sour radish and duck leg soup, dry pot tea tree mushroom, Aunt Zhang's current cooking skills It was rising gradually, but what she was doing now was taught by Ah Jiu, but she still couldn't do other new things.Li Linzhou likes to eat sweets very much, so Ah Jiu also made candied sweet potatoes, which happened to make up ten dishes.

During the meal, Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Li also came back. At the dinner table, they heard that Ah Jiu, Yang Jingtian, and Li Yue wanted to start a business together, but they didn't object, but encouraged them to start a business.

When shopkeeper Li heard that his daughter was going into business, he thought for a while and didn't object, and said: "You choose to open a shop to sell porridge, and I can't help you with anything else. Just come to me if you want to inquire about the shop. There aren't any in the nearby streets." People I don’t know will make people cheaper at that time, and I still have this face.”

He could see the confidence on his daughter's face. This was the first time he saw her daughter glowing from the inside out after returning from her husband's house. Ah Jiu was confident in her skills!
Grandpa Zhao laughed and said: "For your old face and the signboard of the Chinese Medicine Hall, no one else will charge a high price."

Shopkeeper Li also smiled, and said, "That's right, that's right."

My father let go, and Li Yue didn't have anything to be hypocritical, so he said, "Dad, I'll entrust you with the storefront. We have to hurry up and renovate it, and it will open after the Spring Festival."

Shopkeeper Li smiled, and imitated Grandpa Zhao's usual way of patting his chest as a guarantee: "No problem, give me three days, and I promise to find a good place for you after three days. I can make decisions for you in this area, but How big an area do you want?"

Li Yue thought for a while, and recounted what they discussed just now: "We had a rough discussion just now, and the reason why we sell breakfast is because we don't need a chef to follow us. Zheng Xing, me, and Xiao Yang are all responsible for selling it It’s ok, but Ah Jiu thinks that since we have a lot of people, it’s too simple to only sell breakfast, so I want to wait for breakfast to get a hot pot or something, so the place should be as big as possible.”

Ah Jiu added: "It would be better if there are two floors, the second floor can be used as a private room."

Grandpa Zhao interjected: "If you have two floors, your scale is a bit big. Ah Jiu will still have to go to school in the future. Where can you get a cook for a restaurant?"

Li Yue smiled and explained: "My family, Zheng Xing, is good at cooking. When the time comes, I will learn from Ah Jiu and let him be a chef. No matter how bad it is, I can learn too."

Grandma Li asked honestly, "How do you divide the investment, how do you pay for it, and how will you get the money when the time comes?" What she was worried about was Ah Jiu, and Li Yue could still believe it a little bit, but Zheng Xing...she also It's hard to say, but I don't want Ah Jiu to make wedding dresses for others.

Ah Jiu didn't speak, and Li Yue continued with a smile: "Because Ah Jiu is the chef, and she is responsible for the decoration and dishes of the restaurant. She is considered a technical talent, but she usually has to go to school, so she is purely technical and shares two. If it makes a profit, Xiao Yang and I will each get four."

This proposal was put forward by Ah Jiu, and she only got in halfway. In the initial stage, Ah Jiu was the most important link, and Ah Jiu's brain was the most flexible among them, so she would not lose [-]%.And she can see that Ah Jiu will still mainly focus on Chinese medicine in the future, and I'm afraid she will be too busy with this business by then. Of course, this is all for later.

Grandpa Li nodded to this assignment. With him and shopkeeper Li around, Li Yue and Zheng Xing would not have deceived Ah Jiu. As for Yang Jingtian, although he still didn't quite understand why Ah Jiu valued him so much, since Ah Jiu could best Cooperate with him first, then there is no need to worry about this aspect.In fact, he wasn't too worried about Yang Jingtian's temper.

Li Linzhou killed most of the plate of candied sweet potatoes by himself. After hearing their discussion, he asked Ah Jiu next to him: "Sister Ah Jiu, are you going to open a restaurant? Then can I have more delicious food in the future?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and pinched his increasingly round cheeks: "Now I only know what to eat from your sister Ajiu, and I don't look for Aunt Zhang anymore! I see that you have eaten more than Xiaozhu recently, and you still want to eat delicious food Yes, no one likes to grow up fat."

Li Linzhou was not angry when someone said he was fat, but he coquettishly took Aunt Zhang's hand: "I like Sister Ajiu first, and Aunt Zhang second. Don't be angry, Aunt Zhang. One day, you I will catch up with Sister Ah Jiu, and by then, I will be the first to like you!"

Immediately, the hall burst into laughter.

After the meal, Yang Jingtian was going back. He came to see Ah Jiu this time, so there was no reason why Ah Jiu would not give it away. Grandma Li and the others saw some clues because of this, but they didn't say anything. They just told her to go and come back quickly. .

The two walked slowly, and when they reached a place where no one was around, Ah Jiu said: "Brother Yang, I originally wanted to pull you into a small business, but I didn't expect it to be so big now. If you really don't want to, I can go back and tell them, don't force yourself."

Yang Jingtian seldom talks no matter when he is discussing or at the dinner table, and Ah Jiu really can't figure out whether he is willing or not. Although Yang Jingtian is the only one in his family now, she doesn't want him to do it for fear of rejecting her. stupid thing to do.

Yang Jingtian turned his head and smiled lightly, and softly comforted him: "I am willing, and the money will be left alone. You are not afraid of cooperating with me, the disaster star. What else do I have to be afraid of?" .

Hearing this, Ah Jiu's expression changed, and he quickened his pace and walked side by side with Yang Jingtian: "Don't underestimate yourself, what kind of disaster star is all made up by others. If you are really a disaster star, why don't you, Master, them, and I don't know?" Bad luck!"

The speaker had no intention, but listened with intention. When Yang Jingtian heard Ah Jiu talking about herself, and then thought of what happened when Ah Jiu was beaten by Li Bao yesterday, his face turned pale, and his body subconsciously moved away from Ah Jiu, lowering his head. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Seeing this, Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows. She didn't know what kind of play this was. She just wanted to get close to Yang Jingtian, but she didn't expect her to take a step forward, and Yang Jingtian took a step back. The distance between the two was gradually widening.

"What's wrong with you? Did I say something you don't like to hear just now? If so, I can apologize." The reason why Ah Jiu took the initiative to take responsibility is because she felt that Yang Jingtian was too sensitive, and it was probably hurt by others. He is too deep.

Yang Jingtian kept his head down, and after a while, he shook his head and denied it.At this time, Ah Jiu had already turned over the few words he had just said, and thought about it several times, and probably thought of the crux of the problem, feeling distressed, but angry at the same time.

"You plan to stay away from me and talk to me for the rest of your life, aren't you?"

Seeing that Yang Jingtian still didn't speak, Ah Jiu looked like 'I'm very angry': "If you are a disaster star, then you and the master have known each other for so long, and they have nothing to do! My injury this time has nothing to do with you Well, the grievances between Li Bao and I have not lasted for a day or two, and besides, this time, he took the initiative to provoke Li Bao, so it has nothing to do with you."

Yang Jingtian pursed his lips, still lowered his head, but smiled wryly: How could you be like them!

Ah Jiu became anxious, frowned and said harshly: "If you really care about other people's eyes and alienate me, then as you wish, I will never take the initiative to look for you again, and I will never take the initiative to talk to you again. We are two irrelevant strangers from now on, so, are you satisfied?!"

After finishing speaking, she was ready to leave angrily, and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, you idiot!If he dared not to pull her, she would never forgive him simply!

Sure enough, Yang Jingtian raised his head in panic. Seeing that Ah Jiu passed him by and was about to walk away, he quickly reached out to hold Ah Jiu's arm impatiently. When he saw Ah Jiu's sharp eyes when he turned around At that time, he lowered his head in embarrassment, but he never let go of his hand, he didn't dare to squeeze it too tightly, and he didn't dare to let it go too loose.

At this time, Ah Jiu was calm and did not break free. He looked at Yang Jingtian out of the corner of his eyes like a queen: "What are you pulling me for! Didn't you say that you don't talk to me or approach me? What do you mean by pulling me now?" .”

Yang Jingtian raised his head and glanced at Ah Jiu, who was looking unhappy, then quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "I, I never said that."

Ah Jiu choked, and almost laughed out of breath: "Hmph, you didn't say that, but your action just now clearly meant that."

Yang Jingtian rubbed the hand holding Ah Jiu's arm, and looked up at Ah Jiu sincerely: "I, I didn't mean it, so don't be angry."

Although the matter was about to be resolved, Ah Jiu didn't think that Yang Jingtian had figured it out, and said with a blank expression: "If I get hurt again in the future, will you still go to yourself?"

Yang Jingtian pursed his lips and did not speak.

Ah Jiu's anger flared up again, and she shook off Yang Jingtian's hand: "If you haven't figured it out, then I think it's better for us to remain strangers." Seeing Yang Jingtian's expression froze, she was delighted and read again : "There are a lot of broken-mouthed people in this world. If you really listen to them and live, is there any point in living? Everyone has a smooth life, and who has no illness or disaster in his life. Everything is set on yourself, so will you still make friends in the future? Will you live? Your parents gave you life to let you live so timidly!"

Seeing that his face was a little pale, she made up her mind and continued: "Your father suffered because he acted bravely for righteousness. This has nothing to do with you. He is a man of high moral character and worthy of respect. As for your mother, giving birth to a child is always at the gate of hell." Walk around, she is not the only one who died to give birth to a child. She desperately gave birth to you because you are the continuation of her life and the life of the person she loves. She would die for you! And the one your father saved Home, there is a risk in everything you do, and it’s all a coincidence that you met at birth.”

After a pause, she sighed and said, "If you were born with bad luck, can the grandpa who raised you raise you until you were a teenager before he died? Also, why are you always looking for regular customers of your work? If you work, doesn't it prove that you haven't brought bad luck to others! Others follow what others say, and you follow the same thinking, isn't this confirming what others say!"

Yang Jingtian looked at Ah Jiu in a daze, and murmured: "You are different, you are different!"

Ah Jiu was stunned: "Why am I different? I am a human like them, I am your friend, and I am familiar with you..."

"No." Yang Jingtian interrupted her suddenly, but when he was about to speak, he was timid, hesitating for a long time without saying anything: "You, you, you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Ah Jiu blinked, straightened his face, and said decisively: "If you don't say one, two, three, four today, we really don't have to see each other again in the future."

Yang Jingtian suddenly felt suffocated in his heart, and even had difficulty breathing. Looking at Ah Jiu's face that was definitely not joking, he turned his face and said like dying: "I, I like you! In my heart, they and you It’s different, anyone who is important to me will suffer disaster, I don’t want you to get hurt!”

Since his grandfather died, his heart has become more and more indifferent. Even if he smiles at others and accepts others' kindness to him, no one walks into his heart.But Ah Jiu was different. When he heard others praise this little girl, he was slightly taken aback. When he saw her later, he completely remembered this little girl. The brilliant and dazzling smile, once that smiling face came into view, he couldn't pull it out again.

After rescuing her from the water last time, he left quickly. It's not that he didn't want to get to know the little girl in his heart, but he was afraid...the coincidence later, he also hesitated, but facing her initiative, facing her He really couldn't refuse her smile, and gradually he also forgot about his calamity.

But when she mentioned this matter just now, he suddenly woke up, he can no longer stay by the little girl's side, no!
Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and even wondered if there was a problem with her hearing, but when she saw Yang Jingtian's slightly painful and tangled face, she understood that it was true.

In fact, upon hearing this, she was a little surprised. She had never been liked by anyone, and she had never liked anyone else, but when Yang Jingtian told her that he liked her, she jumped for joy.Does this mean that she actually likes Yang Jingtian in her heart?

Maybe, at first she knew him only because he was her savior, and she sympathized with what happened to him, and had a feeling of sympathy.They haven't been in contact for a long time, but Ah Jiu somehow feels that this man is very good and a friend who can make friends with each other. Even yesterday, she could tell him the pain in her heart without hesitation. Don't you like it?She probably likes it, she likes to stay with him, that kind of feeling that is not awkward even if she doesn't talk, and feels comfortable.

After Yang Jingtian finished speaking, he kept secretly observing Ah Jiu's expression, and seeing that she had not spoken, he was extremely disappointed.Oh, it was his wishful thinking after all!
Lowering his head, Yang Jingtian's face was ashen, and he said lightly: "You don't need to take what I said just now."

Hearing this, Ah Jiu was furious: "You said it all, how could I not take it to heart!"

I don't know why, every time she is with Yang Jingtian, she is very open, not at all like her usual self, although she occasionally acts like a baby to Grandma Li and Aunt Zhang, but she is not like facing Yang Jingtian at all.It was probably because this man followed her every time, never rejected her, and took care of her feelings all the time, which made her feel spoiled and flamboyant.

Immediately, Yang Jingtian's expression became even uglier: "You, I, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words!"

At this moment, Ah Jiu realized that the man was thinking wrong again, just as he got closer to him, he didn't expect the man to take another step back, which made her angry again: "You dare to take a step back and try!"

Immediately afterwards, Ah Jiu took two steps forward, and the man really stood still, but his face was still very ugly.Ah Jiu liked him a little bit, now that he knew it, and he liked her, Ah Jiu would not hold back, and directly took Yang Jingtian's hand, with a raised lip: "I'm glad you like me too."

Suddenly, Yang Jingtian raised his head, staring at Ah Jiu with shining eyes, those eyes were terrifying.At this moment, Yang Jingtian couldn't mention how excited he was: yes, Ah Jiu just said yes, then she likes him!Holding his hand now, do you accept his meaning? !

However, when Yang Jingtian thought of the rumors he was born with, his eyes dimmed instantly.Ah Jiu's complexion changed, and after seeing that there was no one around, he pinched Yang Jingtian's cheeks with both hands: "Don't let your imagination run wild! Did you hear that?"

Hey, she was irritable just now, and now she has become violent again. Is this man born to irritate her? !

Wen Nuan Nuan felt good, Ah Jiu squeezed again: "You and I are between the two of us, I don't care about other people's gossip, if you are really worried about me getting hurt, then you can make yourself stronger, Come and protect me! Otherwise, what right do you have to like me, and what right do you have to make me like you forever!"

These words were hardly encouraging, but they warmed Yang Jingtian's heart. Excited, he stretched out his hand and pulled Ah Jiu into his arms, hugging him very tightly.He didn't say anything more in words, but he made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to be with his little girl forever, and he wanted to make his little girl happy and smiling forever.As she said, he needs to be strong and not afraid of anyone, only then can he be qualified to like her and protect her!

His little girls are so brave and took the initiative to hold his hand. If he stops still, he is not worthy of being a man.Perhaps, this is a chance given to him by God's pity on him, and he will definitely grasp it tightly.The delicate and soft girl in his arms must be the beginning of his luck.
