Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

After sending Ye Xiaoyu off, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Xu Ziqi drove back home.

Coming out of the main driving seat, Xu Ziqi walked to the back and opened the car door.

"Ling'er, we're home."

As he spoke softly, Xu Ziqi unbuckled his seat belt and reached out to pick up his sister.

During this process, Xu Ruoling muttered softly, while instinctively stretching out her hands to hug her brother's neck, letting her brother pick her up.

Xu Ziqi locked the car door, then carried his schoolbag in one hand and held his sister in the other hand and went upstairs.

As he went upstairs, Xu Ruoling's hands around her brother's neck became tighter and tighter, and then Xu Ziqi felt a little breathless.

"Ahem... Ling'er, loosen your hands, don't hold so tight."

Xu Ziqi tried to breathe a sigh of relief by stroking his neck.

Hearing her brother's words in her sleep, Xu Ruoling first loosened her grip, but then slowly hugged him tightly, and her short legs also tightly hooked around Xu Ziqi's waist.

"..."

Looking at his sister hugging like a sloth, Xu Ziqi felt helpless.

This Xu Ruoling!

She is already six years old this year, not a three-year-old child!

Why is she still so clinging to him!

Unlike Xu Ziqi's helpless expression, Xu Ruoling's face was full of happiness even when she was asleep, and she kept mumbling "brother, brother" in her mouth.

It seemed that hugging her brother like this was a particularly pleasant thing.

And her brother smelled super good.

The smell was not from perfume, but from very ordinary laundry detergent.

But even with such a simple fragrance, she felt particularly satisfied and at ease.

After returning to the door, she knocked on the door and Liang Sufen quickly opened it.

Xu Ziqi also quickly asked his mother to take Xu Ruoling, saying that he was a little suffocated.

Liang Sufen also quickly took her daughter when she saw this.

Xu Ruoling seemed a little reluctant, and grumbled a few times, but finally returned to her mother's arms and put her arms around her.

As it was getting late, Liang Sufen was not polite at all, and directly woke Xu Ruoling up and took her to take a bath.

After being woken up, Xu Ruoling had a droopy face and seemed a little dissatisfied, but she still followed her mother to take a bath obediently.

Xu Ziqi then sat on the sofa and started to talk with his father about today's business.

Today, clay pot rice was launched, and with a longer period of business, more dishes were sold than before.

But with this amount, it is still a long way from the 500,000 Cantonese dishes stipulated by the system.

However, the guests' response to the new dishes was good.

He originally thought that the sudden change of the menu would cause discomfort to the guests.

In fact, some guests were not used to it, but more people still expressed support.

After all, they only sold buns and porridge, as well as dry fried beef noodles, which were not the mainstream of lunch and dinner.

If it wasn't so delicious, the guests wouldn't come every time.

But fortunately, there is clay pot rice.

This is a very popular delicacy, and it is also suitable for lunch and dinner.

The guests also like it very much.

Some guests even joked that Boss Xu must leave a portion for him, otherwise he would not eat, and Boss Xu would be responsible if he got sick from hunger.

Xu Ziqi certainly didn't care about the guests' jokes, and also told them that more new dishes would be introduced in the future, and they just had to wait.

The guests also said they would wait and see.

After chatting with her father for a while, Xu Ruoling also took a bath and dressed.

The little girl who had just taken a bath smelled fragrant.

Xu Ziqi held her to his side and dried her hair.

The family of four chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Unlike Xu Ruoling's happy family environment, Lin Jiacheng's home was a little deserted.

He was lying on his side on the bed at this time.

The lights were off in the room, and it was a little dark. Only the bright moon outside the window could bring a glimmer of light.

With his hands resting on his head, Lin Jiacheng looked at the moon outside the window silently.

Grandpa just told him: Grandma had some problems in the countryside, and he had to go back to see her tomorrow.

And grandpa was not there either, so he had to let Teacher Xiaoye take him home tomorrow.

Although he was a little reluctant, Lin Jiacheng still agreed.

After all, grandma's health was important...

After grandpa left, he was left alone.

Since mom got sick, dad took mom everywhere and rarely went home.

Most of the time, grandpa took care of him.

And grandpa would occasionally go back to the countryside to see grandma, and then grandpa would take care of him.

Now grandpa was going back to the countryside, and grandpa was not there again.

After school tomorrow, he would be the only one left in this empty house.

Thinking of staying at home alone tomorrow, his nose suddenly felt sore, and he was nervous.Then the corners of his eyes began to moisten, but he tried to hold it back.

Although Grandpa said he would be back the day after tomorrow morning, he had never tried to stay at home alone for a night, and he was still a little scared and lonely.

After looking at the moon for a while and thinking about his worries for a while, Lin Jiacheng felt his throat was a little dry, so he got up and walked to the living room. Without turning on the light, he poured a glass of water.

After drinking the water, he put down the cup and looked around the dark and empty living room, and suddenly felt more lonely.

Other children have parents who love them, and brothers and sisters who love them.

He has never enjoyed this kind of love.

He has been with Grandpa more these years.

Xu Ruoling said before that her mother would coax her to sleep at home.

Occasionally, when her mother was not around, her brother would coax her to sleep and tell her stories.

Every time Lin Jiacheng heard it, he seemed indifferent, but secretly envious.

He is an only child and has never felt the friendship between brothers and sisters.

Not only did he never feel the friendship between brothers and sisters, he also never felt the love of his parents.

This was all because of the abominable disease that tortured his mother, otherwise his father would not have taken his mother everywhere.

"If I were a doctor, I could cure my mother."

"If I cure my mother, my parents will stay with me."

Lin Jiacheng thought with his head down.

Then he heard footsteps again, looked up and saw that it was his grandfather.

"Jiacheng, why don't you turn on the light? What if he falls down?"

Walking to the living room, the old man turned on the light and asked his grandson.

Lin Jiacheng shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can see it."

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" The old man asked with concern when he found that his grandson was not in a good mood.

"It's okay." Lin Jiacheng adjusted his mood and answered.

Thinking that his grandson was still worried about his going back to the countryside tomorrow, the old man walked forward.

He touched his head and said, "It's okay. Grandpa will be back the day after tomorrow. Teacher Xiaoye will pick you up after school tomorrow."

"Aren't you close to Xu Ruoling? You can play with her later tomorrow and go to bed when you come back."

"Grandpa promises that you can see Grandpa the day after tomorrow when you wake up."

Lin Jiacheng didn't want to make his grandfather worry, so he nodded to show that he knew.

The old man was relieved. His grandson was still very sensible.

After saying that, the grandfather and grandson went back to their own rooms.

But Lin Jiacheng didn't go to bed immediately. Instead, he continued to lie on his side, looked at the moon for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes.
