It was six o'clock when Li Changyan and his friends returned home. Liu Haoran first sent Li Changyan and Li Jia home before returning home.

Li Changyan was afraid that Li Jia's parents would scold her, so she went home with Li Jia first.

Li Jia's mother is at home, and Li Jia's father has not come back yet.

"Auntie, I have brought Jia Jia back safely." As soon as Li Changyan saw Li Jia's mother, he immediately smiled and greeted her.

Li Jia's mother didn't say anything in front of Li Changyan. She just said that it was good to be back, and then she prepared to cook dinner and asked Li Changyan to stay at home for dinner.

Of course Li Changyan knew that this was just a polite remark, so he immediately waved his hand to refuse.

"No, auntie, my mother has prepared dinner in the store. I will go to the store to eat tonight. I will go back first and come back another day."

After she finished speaking, she winked at Li Jia, indicating that she was leaving first and would contact him by cell phone.

Li Jia and Li Changyan's homes were separated by only a wall, and Li Changyan did not allow Li Jia to send her off again.

After returning home, Li Changyan put his things down, went to the bathroom to wash his face, came out to the living room, and lay down on the sofa like Ge You.

Five minutes later, she got up and pushed the electric scooter to the door, then went into the house to take out the gift she had prepared for Li Sheng, locked the door, and rode the electric scooter straight to her own restaurant.

It was dinner time. When Li Changyan arrived, some people were eating in the restaurant and Li Ziqiang was taking orders for the guests.

As soon as Li Changyan entered the door, Li Ziqiang saw her. He resisted the urge to hug his daughter and continued to introduce the menu and order food to the guests.

Li Changyan grinned at his father, pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and signaled that he would go there first.

In the restaurant kitchen, Li Sheng and Xu Hui were busy.

"Mom, uncle, your favorite Yanyan is back." Li Changyan stood at the kitchen door and called out.

"Hey, our Yanyan is here. How is she? Are you tired?"

Li Sheng had his back to the kitchen door, while Xu Hui was facing the kitchen door, so Xu Hui was the first to notice Li Changyan.

She excitedly turned off the fire, walked over and hugged Li Changyan. She looked around again and said, "Well, you're fine! You haven't lost weight! I think you've gained some weight."

Li Changyan cooperated and turned around to show her mother. She was not annoyed when Xu Hui said she was fat. She smiled and said, "Of course! I am your daughter, I will not treat myself badly!"

Xu Hui tapped her nose and asked, "Are you hungry? Mommy will cook something for you first."

"I'm not very hungry. We ate along the way back!" Li Changyan touched his stomach and decided not to be hungry yet.

"Okay, this kitchen is very fumy, you go out first and take a rest. Mom will cook two more dishes for us to eat. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"If you want to eat blanched lettuce, stir-fried sweet potato leaves will also work."

"Okay! Go ahead!" Xu Hui smiled and patted Li Changyan's butt, letting her go and rest.

"Let me say hello to my uncle first." Li Changyan pointed at Li Sheng who was cooking.

Xu Hui nodded and went to serve the dishes she had just prepared.

Li Sheng was very happy to see Li Changyan. He thought Xiaoyan had lost weight after the trip and decided to add more dishes for Xiaoyan.

Li Changyan said that she brought him a gift, and Li Sheng became even happier. He thought that having a “daughter” was really good. She was like a little cotton-padded jacket!

Li Sheng was so happy that he stirred the wok even more vigorously.

"Uncle, Mom, I'll go out first."

"Wait, help mom take this dish to table 3." Xu Hui called Li Changyan and handed the dish she had just served to Li Changyan and took it out.

"Madam boss, no problem. Waiter Yan is here to serve the dishes." Li Changyan imitated the waiter in costume TV dramas, half-bending over and preparing to serve the dishes.

Xu Hui and Li Sheng were amused by Li Changyan's quirky appearance.

"Oh, Xiaoyan is back. Her favorite braised pork elbow... let me see how much is left..." Li Sheng quickly lifted the lid of the pot, took a look, turned to Xu Hui and said, "Not much left, sister, tell Qiangzi that this dish is sold out, leave it for Xiaoyan."

Xu Hui laughed: "Brother Sheng, don't spoil her too much. If you continue to spoil this girl, she will be crazy!"

Although she said this, Xu Hui still put down the work in her hands and prepared to go out and explain to Li Ziqiang.

"That's nothing. It's rare that my daughter likes the food I cook. I see she has lost weight and needs to eat more."

It was obvious that Li Sheng was lying with his eyes open, but Xu Hui would not expose him. After all, he truly loved his daughter and treated her like his own junior. This was a blessing for his daughter.

Just as Xu Hui was about to go out, Li Ziqiang lifted the kitchen door curtain and walked in. He came to place an order for the customer.

Xu Hui took the menu from Li Ziqiang and called him, "There aren't many pork elbows left. Brother Sheng said he wants to save them for your daughter. We won't sell them anymore. When you introduce the menu, remember to remove the pork elbows and say they're sold out."

Li Ziqiang already doted on Li Changyan. After hearing what Xu Hui said, he not only did not think there was a problem, but also felt that Li Sheng had foresight.

"Okay, okay, Yanyan likes Brother Sheng's braised pork elbow the most, so leave it all for her. I'll go cross out the braised pork elbow on the menu with a pencil."

After saying this, he turned around and walked outside without waiting for Xu Hui and Li Sheng to respond.

After serving the dishes to table No. 3, Li Changyan went to sit at the cashier counter, helping to pay the bills for the guests and guiding people to their seats when they came in.

When she saw Li Ziqiang coming towards her anxiously, she thought something had happened.

As a result, Li Ziqiang picked up the menu, found a pencil and was about to mark the menu, but Li Changyan stopped him: "Dad, what are you doing?"

Li Ziqiang: "There are not many pork elbows left. Your uncle Sheng said to leave them for you to eat. I won't sell them anymore. I'll cross them off the menu."

Li Changyan felt warm in his heart and smiled at Li Ziqiang: "Uncle still loves me! Don't bother, we can just mention it when the guests order."

Li Ziqiang thought about it, put down his pen and menu, and said, "That's fine. There won't be many people around soon."

After saying that, he turned around to get busy. After walking a few steps, he came back and stared at Li Changyan, unhappy: "Only your uncle Li loves you, so why don't I love you?"

"Nonsense! You love me the most! I brought you a gift and left it at home. I'm sure you like it."

Li Ziqiang was happy: "That's good enough!" and then he got busy.

Li Changyan waited until Li Ziqiang walked away before sitting down: "Hehe, smoothing the hair was successful!"

At seven in the evening, Xu Hui came out and asked Li Changyan: "After cooking the dishes for the last two tables, we can eat, around seven-thirty. Are you hungry? Mommy will make you something to eat first."

"No, Mom, I'm not very hungry yet. I'll eat together after you guys are done."

Xu Hui touched her daughter's head and continued to work in the kitchen.
