Reborn, taking my wife to college

Saturday, Li Changyan’s house.

Xu Hui was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, washing the rice and cooking the millet porridge.

Then she started to make Li Changyan’s favorite radish cake.

Peel and grate the white radish, pickle it to remove the bitter water, and squeeze out the water...

While Xu Hui was busy, Li Ziqiang didn't sleep in either.

He got up early and went to the store to inspect the goods that came in today, and then paid the money.

At that time, online payment was not so common, and they mostly paid cash for purchases.

So Li Ziqiang would go to the store early every day to work.

The two people have clear division of labor, one takes care of the family and the other takes care of the store.

This was something they had agreed upon a long time ago; no matter how busy the store was, one of them had to leave home to take care of the child.

If the store is really too busy, we will hire someone and never leave the children unattended.

Li Changyan’s older brother and sister were like this when they were in school.

Li Changyan is an unexpected late-born girl, seven or eight years younger than the eldest and second sons.

Now the eldest and second sons are on internship, and except for the Chinese New Year and other holidays, they rarely have time to come back.

So the couple paid more attention to their youngest daughter.

From Monday to Friday, when Li Changyan is not at home, the couple will go to the store together to work.

But as long as the children are at home, one of the two must be at home, or the whole family will go to the store together.

Their restaurant has three floors, and the second and third floors can be used for rural wedding banquets.

There are also private rooms, which are very convenient for family gatherings or entertaining guests.

At the beginning, the store only employed two employees, a chef and a waiter.

Their home is nearby, so we don't need to provide accommodation, just lunch.

Usually Xu Hui also helps with cooking, and Li Ziqiang collects money and entertains guests at the front desk, so there are enough manpower.

When we are too busy during peak hours, we hire two temporary workers to help serve food and wash dishes, paying them 20 yuan an hour.

They are all people I know around here. When I need them, I just give them a call and they will come.

Xu Hui steamed the radish cake, then took the cooked millet porridge off the stove and boiled the Chinese medicine for Li Changyan.

Bring the cooked millet porridge to the dining table, serve two bowls out and let them cool down first, so that the child can drink it directly when he wakes up, without burning his mouth.

After serving the porridge, I went to the second-floor balcony to hang the clothes in the washing machine.

Then go to the third floor to wake Li Changyan up for breakfast.

When I pushed open the door and went in, I saw Li Changyan sleeping with her legs spread out, and her sleeping posture did not look like a lady at all.

Xu Hui shook her head, but finally held back and didn't nag her.

He walked over, lifted the quilt, and pinched Li Changyan's face:

"Little lazy pig, the sun is shining on your butt, hurry up and get up, wash up and have breakfast."

Li Changyan turned over without opening his eyes: "Mom, let me sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep and not eat breakfast."

"No, that's how you ruin your stomach. Hurry up and get up, eat and then come back to sleep."

Xu Hui patted her youngest daughter's butt and asked her to get up.

"Ten minutes, Mom, I'll sleep for another ten minutes." Li Changyan bargained.

Xu Hui used her trump card: "Here is your favorite carrot cake~"

"Turnip cake? Mom, you made radish cake?" Li Changyan woke up instantly.

"Yeah, if you don't get up, I'll give all the carrot cake to Jia Jia."

Li Changyan sat up immediately: "I'll get up right away!"

I scratched my messy hair and picked up the phone beside the bed. It was eight o'clock in the morning.

By this time, Jia Jia must have gotten up.

I called directly and the phone was connected after two rings.

"Hello, Yanyan, you woke up so early?" Li Jia's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Li Changyan's voice was still a little hoarse after waking up: "Jia Jia, I'm up. My mother made radish cake. Come and have some. This is her exclusive secret recipe~"

Li Jia's voice was a little louder: "Aunt made carrot cake? I'm coming over now."

Li Jia had actually had breakfast, but the radish cake made by Xu Hui was different from the ones sold on the market. Li Jia couldn’t tell exactly what was different, but it was delicious.

But it is quite troublesome to make radish cake, so Xu Hui doesn’t make it often.

It's a rare opportunity for her to cook, so I definitely can't miss it.

Putting down his phone, Li Changyan quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash and change clothes.

When she went downstairs, Li Jia and Xu Hui were already eating at the table.

Each person had a bowl of millet porridge with a large plate of sliced ​​radish cake in the middle.

"Ahhh, you two bad guys, you ate it all by yourself without waiting for me and leaving two pieces for me."

"If you don't come down, I'll let Jia Jia take all the remaining radish cakes back and eat them, so that you can stay in bed." Xu Hui scolded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Changyan held his heart in his hands and acted sad: "Wow, dear mother, don't you love me anymore? Am I no longer your most beloved daughter?"

After saying this, he wiped away non-existent tears and looked at Xu Hui with resentful eyes.

"Okay, okay, stop playing around and come over to eat. After dinner we'll go help out in the store."

Xu Hui stood up and served Li Changyan a bowl of millet porridge.

Li Changyan walked over and sat next to Li Jia, and took the millet porridge handed over by Xu Hui.

First take a mouthful of porridge to moisten the stomach: "Ah, comfortable!"

He put the bowl down, reached out impatiently to pick up a piece of carrot cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Crack~"

Xu Hui patted the back of her daughter's hand and said, "Don't use your hands. Use chopsticks to eat."

Li Changyan accused: "Mom is the real murderer, and there are no outsiders here now."

"It won't work without outsiders. Look at Jia Jia, then look at yourself. You don't look like a girl at all."

Li Changyan stuck out his tongue at Xu Hui and put down the radish cake in his hand.

I picked it up with chopsticks and put it back in my mouth, then took a bite: "Satisfied!"

Li Jia, who was standing next to them, watched the interaction between the mother and daughter, smiled without saying a word, and lowered his head to drink porridge and eat cakes.

In fact, she envied Li Changyan for having such open-minded and interesting parents, and she also liked this family atmosphere.

Although my parents are very nice, they are too introverted and don’t know how to communicate with their children at all.

There is rarely any interaction between them at home, and there is almost no interaction like that between Xu Hui and Li Changyan just now.

While I was stunned, I saw a piece of carrot cake in the bowl.

Li Changyan picked it up, and she winked at Li Jia mischievously: "Jia Jia, eat it quickly, or I will eat it all in a moment."

Li Jia came back to his senses, and then said to Xu Hui embarrassedly: "I actually had breakfast, but Yanyan said that you made radish cake, so I shamelessly came to eat it again."

Xu Hui smiled and waved her hands, indicating that it was okay: "What's the big deal? If you want to eat it, just tell me anytime and I'll make it for you."

"When you go back to school tomorrow, Sunday, I'll make some more for you to take to school."

Before Li Jia could say anything, Li Changyan next to him started to complain that Xu Hui was partial: "Mom, you love Jia Jia more, right? You didn't even tell me that you would make it for me to take to school, but as soon as Jia Jia asked, you immediately made it. Humph!"

Xu Hui patted Li Changyan on the head and said, "Just do it for Jiajia. Jiajia is a good boy. Who would be like you, like a monkey?"
