Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrates the mist, like a golden veil, gently covering every corner of the capital. It gently touches the ancient city walls, the bustling streets and the quiet alleys, bringing the city a new day of vitality and vigor.

The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves, casting patches of light and shadows on the ground, like a beautiful painting outlined by nature with delicate brushstrokes.

In front of Zhong Yuemin's house, there is a small open space, which is bathed in the warm sunshine and looks particularly busy.

Zhong Yuemin was wearing a slightly old but neat work suit, and the sweat on his forehead sparkled in the morning light.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin was concentrating on modifying a "donkey" that he got from somewhere. Under his skillful hands, this old tricycle was gradually radiating a unique charm.

This old bicycle tricycle was originally just an ordinary means of transportation, but in the hands of Zhong Yuemin, it is gradually transforming into a unique food truck.

Zhong Yuemin first carefully installed a customized glass cabinet at the rear of the car. This cabinet is crystal clear, like a mirror, and seems to be able to reflect the attractive colors of the delicious food that is about to be born.

Next, a dark but solid coal stove was placed steadily in the center of the carriage. Zhong Yuemin gently lit the fire, which gradually burned, emitting a faint warmth and a sign of impending cooking.

The most amazing thing is that Zhong Yuemin actually modified an exquisite rotating disk above the stove. It rotates slowly like a dancer waiting for the stage lights to come on, foreshadowing the gourmet feast that is about to be staged.

Little Shihua was wearing a floral dress and two pigtails today. She skipped out of the house and came to Zhong Yuemin, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. "Dad, what are you doing? It looks so interesting!" Her little hand gently pulled the corner of Zhong Yuemin's clothes, her voice full of innocence and expectation.

Zhong Yuemin turned around, squatted down with a smile on his face, his eyes full of tenderness and fatherly love. "Girl, this is my new treasure. It's a tool for selling delicious food."

When she heard the word "delicious", Xiao Shihua's eyes immediately became bright, like two shining stars. The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing two shallow dimples, which made her look particularly cute.

"Wow! What delicious food can be made?" Xiao Shihua's voice was full of curiosity and desire, as if she had endless anticipation for the upcoming delicious food.

Xiao Haichen, who was drawing a boat on the ground with a branch, stopped what he was doing, pricked up his ears, and stared at Zhong Yuemin, afraid of missing any word. His eyes revealed a serious and focused look, as if he was trying to understand what Zhong Yuemin said.

Zhong Yuemin gently scratched Xiao Shihua's nose, with a doting smile on his face, and said softly, "My daughter, Daddy plans to make all kinds of pancakes, including crispy and delicious pancakes with all kinds of delicious ingredients; and fragrant grilled skewers, each of which exudes an enticing aroma; in addition, there are... Oh, there are too many, you will know when the time comes."

Zhong Yuemin deliberately kept it a secret, with a mysterious light in his eyes, which made Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen even more excited. Their cheers rose one after another, as if they could already smell the tempting aroma and couldn't wait to taste these delicacies.

When Xiao Haichen heard that there was food, he immediately turned into Zhong Yuemin's little follower. He pulled Zhong Yuemin's clothes, blinked his big eyes, and begged in his childish voice, "Dad, when can my sister and I eat those delicious foods? I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling. I really can't wait!"

After saying that, Xiao Haichen deliberately rubbed his belly, which looked both cute and funny.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the two children's expectant eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart, but at the same time he also felt a little embarrassed.

Zhong Yuemin coughed lightly and explained, "Well, kids, Daddy still has some details to deal with, such as the seasoning is not ready yet, and the ingredients are still being selected. Can you wait a little longer, until tomorrow, Daddy will guarantee that you can eat the most delicious food, okay?"

"Ah? We have to wait until tomorrow!"

When Xiao Shihua heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She pouted her lips and began her coquettish offensive, "Daddy, I just want to eat today, please, okay?" The little girl also shook Zhong Yuemin's arm, and her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, making people unable to refuse.

As she spoke, Xiao Shihua secretly glanced at Xiao Haichen. Their eyes met, and they tacitly expressed their desire for delicious food.

Seeing this, Xiao Haichen also quickly joined the camp. Although he was not as good at acting like a spoiled child as his sister, his aggrieved little face was enough to make people love him. "Dad, I want to eat today too. I promise I will be more obedient in the future."

Faced with the two children's successive attacks, Zhong Yuemin finally gave in. He shook his head helplessly, but a doting smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "Okay, okay, you guys are so anxious. How about this, I'll go prepare the ingredients now, and we'll cook a little tonight so you can have a taste of it, how about that?"

"Great! Great! Dad is so nice today!" When the two children heard it, they immediately cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had already smelled the aroma of delicious food. Their excitement was even greater than that of Chinese New Year.

"You little brat, what I mean is that I was a bad person in the past." Zhong Yuemin pretended to be angry and scratched Xiao Haichen's nose, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Seeing this, Xiao Haichen also ran forward and imitated his sister, giving Zhong Yuemin a big hug, mumbling, "Dad is good every day, and he is especially good today!"

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed with a gentle orange-red, covering the road home with a faint golden glow.

Zhou Xiaobai was riding a bicycle, feeling the breeze on his face, which made him feel cool and comfortable. He was enjoying this rare quiet time.

However, the noise from the intersection ahead was like an irresistible force, forcibly pulling her attention back from this tranquility.

"Huh? What are they doing ahead?" Zhou Xiaobai muttered to herself. She was planning to take a detour and continue moving forward, but at this moment, a familiar and energetic voice penetrated the noise of the crowd and hit her eardrums directly - it was Zhong Yuemin, the funny guy who always brought her surprises and laughter.

"Let me tell you, this is a skill that has been passed down in our family for eight generations. Ordinary people can't learn it!"

There was a hint of complacency and pride in Zhong Yuemin's voice, as if he was showing off some amazing skills to the crowd.

Zhong Yuemin's slightly exaggerated but humorous tone made the people around him laugh continuously, and even the air was filled with a sense of joy. When Zhou Xiaobai heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "This idiot is bragging again without thinking."

Then, a more childish but equally clear voice came from her beloved daughter. "Auntie, give me fifty cents. This is my twenty cents change."

Xiao Shihua's voice was full of seriousness and cuteness, which made people laugh. A certain lady in the crowd responded with a smile, "Hey, kid, you are good at calculating. You will definitely be a math genius in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai felt as if she had been scratched by a cat. She was curious and a little angry. She thought to herself, "What is this funny guy Zhong Yuemin doing with his daughter? Is he selling delicious food at a stall? Or is he performing his 'unique skills' again?"

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Xiaobai decided not to hesitate any longer. She gently turned the car around and drove towards the center of the crowd. As the distance got closer, she gradually saw the scene in front of her clearly: Zhong Yuemin was standing next to a carefully modified donkey, and a variety of delicacies were placed in the glass cabinet.

The rotating coal stove was roasting tempting food, and the aroma was overflowing, attracting many people to stop and look. Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen were helping to collect money and make change, and the two little guys had satisfied and happy smiles on their faces.

Just as Zhou Xiaobai was immersed in his own thoughts, the questioning voice of a young woman next to him broke the silence.

She pointed at the seemingly imperfect pancake in Zhong Yuemin's hand and said jokingly, "Master, you said it was so good, why are the pancakes you made so bad?"

The young woman's questioning voice rang out among the crowd, with a hint of surprise and confusion, and a bit of curiosity and pickyness in her tone.

However, Zhong Yuemin did not feel embarrassed or annoyed by this. Instead, he resolved the embarrassment in a light-hearted and humorous way.

Zhong Yuemin just smiled, and that smile was full of confidence and cunning, as if he had already anticipated such doubts.

"Little girl, you don't understand this, do you?" Zhong Yuemin shook his head mysteriously and continued, "This is a craft passed down from my family. Don't be fooled by its plain appearance, it's very delicious inside. You don't believe it? Just ask them and you'll know."

The people around him all agreed after hearing what he said. Perhaps they were inspired by Zhong Yuemin's confident attitude, or perhaps they were really conquered by the deliciousness of the pancakes.

"Yes, even though the chef's pancakes are not very good, the taste is indeed amazing." A middle-aged man said while chewing a pancake with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, he's right." Another young man also chimed in. "The taste of this pancake is really amazing, it just doesn't look good, but the taste is the most important thing."

Zhong Yuemin listened to the praises from the people around him, and his face became even more proud. He waved his hands, as if announcing his victory to everyone.

"See, little girl? As long as the taste is good, it doesn't matter how good it looks. We are a real craftsman, we don't rely on those fancy things to attract people."

Zhou Xiaobai watched this scene from the side and couldn't help laughing in her heart. She knew that Zhong Yuemin always had this ability to easily deal with any situation and even turn unfavorable factors into his own advantages. And Xiao Shihua was also clapping her hands excitedly, feeling proud of her father.

Xiao Haichen's eyes are like a pair of shining gems, always able to capture the most wonderful moments in the first place.

He was the first to notice his mother Zhou Xiaobai approaching slowly. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his little face, and he walked quickly through the crowd with his short legs that seemed to be always full of strength, heading straight for Zhou Xiaobai.

"Mom, Mom!" Xiao Haichen shouted as he ran, his voice full of excitement and anticipation. When he finally ran to Zhou Xiaobai, he was already out of breath, but his little hands tightly grasped the corner of his mother's clothes, as if he was afraid that his mother would suddenly disappear.

"The pancakes made by dad are delicious. Would you like to try some?" Little Haichen raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaobai with eyes full of expectation, holding a pancake tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid it would run away.

Zhou Xiaobai felt a warm current in her heart when she saw this. She squatted down and hugged Xiao Haichen gently. She felt extremely relieved and happy. She gently stroked her son's head and said softly, "Son, Mommy doesn't eat. Mommy is happy just watching you eat."

However, little Haichen was obviously not satisfied with his mother's answer. He shook his head, looked at Zhou Xiaobai with expectant eyes, and kept repeating, "No, no, let mom try it." There was a hint of coquettishness and persistence in his voice, which made it impossible to refuse.

In the end, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't resist her son's enthusiastic invitation, and she took a light bite of the pancake made by Zhong Yuemin.

At that moment, the aroma of the pancakes filled her mouth. It was indeed as everyone said, the taste was very unique and delicious. She looked at Xiao Haichen's innocent smile, and her heart was filled with emotion and happiness.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Xiao Haichen asked in his voice full of curiosity and expectation.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and nodded, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and happiness. "It's delicious. It's really delicious. Thank you, son."

Zhong Yuemin, a man who can always handle any occasion with ease, even when he is busy making pancakes with his hands or chatting with others, his attention never leaves his small family.

When Xiao Haichen's lively figure moved slightly, Zhong Yuemin immediately caught this subtle change, and at the same time he also discovered Zhou Xiaobai standing on the edge of the crowd.

Although Zhong Yuemin was busy flipping pancakes with his hands and chatting incessantly with the people around him, his mind was like a radar, keenly capturing Xiao Haichen's movements and then aware of Zhou Xiaobai's arrival.

A bright smile immediately broke out on Zhong Yuemin's face, and he turned to greet Zhou Xiaobai. "Wife, are you off work?" His tone was full of tenderness and care, as if the whole world had become better because of her arrival.

The crowd around was attracted by Zhong Yuemin's sudden action and cast curious glances at him. But Zhong Yuemin didn't care at all. Instead, he continued to show off to others with more pride. "Did you see? It was with this craft that I inherited for eight generations that I was able to marry this beautiful wife."

Zhong Yuemin spoke so naturally and confidently, as if all this was natural.

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Zhong Yuemin's boasting. She knew Zhong Yuemin's character very well, and he could always bring her laughter and surprises inadvertently.
