Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After the Sun and Luo families had dinner, Grandpa Luo enthusiastically invited Grandpa Sun to visit his study. The two old men talked about interesting stories and experiences in their respective fields of strength and had a great time.

Before they knew it, it was already past nine in the evening. It was not until Luo Changgeng went upstairs and called out to Old Master Luo that he wanted to rest that he reluctantly let the three generations of the Sun family leave and agreed to continue chatting the next day.

On the way back, Mr. Sun seemed very happy and felt that his trip was not in vain.

When we arrived at Sun Aimin's rental house, it seemed a little crowded because there were three more people.

But we were all family, so there was no need to be so particular. It was mid-October, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold. Besides, Sun Aimin knew his father and two brothers were coming, so he had already bought a military green mattress and a few quilts in advance, so sleeping on the floor wouldn't be cold.

As for sleeping, Grandpa Sun was arranged to live in the same room with his youngest son and grandson. The grandfather and grandson slept on the bed, while Sun Aimin slept on the floor.

In another room, Sun Aijun and Sun Aiguo slept on the bed, while Sun Qi and Li Haisheng slept on the floor in the living room.

After closing the door, Grandpa Sun first coaxed little Sun Mian, who was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, to sleep. However, he himself tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply started chatting with Sun Aimin.

"How is Xiao Mian learning Chinese medicine with Mr. Luo recently? I think this child is very enthusiastic in learning, and never complains about the hardship or tiredness, just like our Sun family." The old man said. When he mentioned this little grandson, he was very happy and full of pride.

Sun Aimin smiled and said, "Mr. Luo praised him a lot, saying that he is talented and hardworking, and is a good candidate for studying Chinese medicine. This path is not something that ordinary people can stick to. While Mr. Luo is still strong, I hope he can learn more skills and come back.

By the way, Dad, what do you think about dealing with the Luo family today? Can you put your worries aside this time? "

Grandpa Sun replied, "From what I have seen today, this family is pretty good. Especially Grandpa Luo, who is still studying at such an old age. It is really admirable. No wonder he has become a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Xiao Mian is lucky enough to be his apprentice. Good fortune is yet to come!"

Sun Aimin replied: "So Xiao Mian can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. If it weren't for that incident, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet Dr. Luo. I feel that it's the right thing to leave our treasure to them.

But we can’t do this secretly, we have to do it openly and honestly, so that those hiding in the dark know that this treasure is no longer in our house, and stop trying to make things difficult for us.”

Grandpa Sun thought for a moment and said, "Will that cause trouble for the Luo family?"

Sun Aimin explained, "Dad, I've been thinking about this for the past two days. Don't we have a copy of this thing? Let's take the copy out to Dr. Luo to study it. As for the original ancient book, we should hand it over to the country with great fanfare.

In our hands, it is just waste paper and a source of trouble, but once it is handed over, it becomes an antique and a cultural treasure. We risked our lives to preserve it during the turbulent times, and we should not let it remain in the dark, but let it see the light of day again and shine. "

Hearing what Sun Aimin said, Grandpa Sun couldn't help but become excited. The treasure that his second uncle had been thinking about selling to the enemy country, not only did they protect it, but now they could also pass it on. It was truly a major event that brought honor to the family.

Now Mr. Sun has completely dispelled his worries and thought that this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. It took him a whole day to get from his hometown to Mafang City. The treasure weighing more than ten kilograms was hung on his chest for a whole day, which made him very tired. Now he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves thinking about it. If he doesn't send the things out quickly, he can't sleep well.

The next morning before four o'clock, Sun Qi and Li Haisheng went out and rode their tricycle to the wholesale market to purchase ingredients for the day in preparation for today's business.

The restaurant has now hired two local workers, one as a kitchen helper, responsible for cleaning and preliminary processing of ingredients, and the other as a dishwasher.

After the two of them bought the food and delivered it to the restaurant, around six o'clock, they could go home for a nap, and then go back to work in the store when it opened at around ten o'clock.

Now, Li Haisheng has been studying with Sun Aimin for a while and already has dozens of dishes that he can serve. Sun Qi has been learning from his elders since he was a child, so his cooking skills are naturally much better than Li Haisheng's. He can cook dishes that are more difficult and require higher skills from the chef.

Now, everything is on the right track. Although Li Haisheng has not yet fully completed his apprenticeship, he has made a lot of progress. Sun Aimin has also begun to gradually let go, from the initial demonstration and explanation, to gradually transitioning to supervision and guidance.

He thought that after a while, when these two young people were able to run the restaurant, he would have more time to do other things.

Mr. Sun got up late in the morning because he was tired from the journey yesterday and he chatted with Sun Aimin until very late. When he got up, Sun Aimin had already finished his son's meal and sent him to school. Sun Qi and Li Haisheng had already returned to the rental house to catch up on their sleep.

When Sun Aimin came back, Grandpa Sun, Sun Aiguo and Sun Aijun had already finished their meal and washed the dishes.

"Dad, big brother, second brother, we arrived too late yesterday and didn't have time to go to the restaurant. Would you like to come with me to take a look at the store today?" Sun Aimin said to them.

This was also one of the purposes of their trip. They wanted to see what Sun Aimin’s shop looked like and how it was run.

The restaurant was not far from the rental house, so they walked there. They arrived at the restaurant at nine o'clock, but it had not officially opened for business yet. There were only two workers busy in the restaurant.

The hotel covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, which is not big, but it is very elegantly decorated. It was decorated according to the design drawings given by Yuan Jie, which is very different from the popular decoration style of this era.

The entrance is made of large glass windows facing the street. When pedestrians pass by, they can see the whole store, which is very eye-catching. Moreover, this design allows better lighting in the store, which can greatly enhance the dining environment experience of diners.

The tables and chairs are made of solid wood, which is very textured. Sun Aimin specially hired a carpenter to make them. In addition to some square tables that can seat four people, there are also several large rotatable round tables suitable for dining with multiple people.

This kind of table is still relatively rare nowadays, and Grandpa Sun and his companions felt it was very novel when they saw it.

"Yes, yes, there are still more new things in the city. We always stay in our small home, and our thoughts and ideas are out of touch with those of city people." Grandpa Sun looked around and said to his eldest and second sons with emotion.
