Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

The afternoon banquet was in full swing.

With the blessing of Xu Ziqi's top-notch cooking skills, both relatives and friends of both sides, as well as the villagers here, fully enjoyed a feast of delicious food.

At the end of the night, some people were reluctant to leave. Looking at their appearance, they seemed to want to have a midnight snack.

Some people from the neighboring village also came to inquire, saying that there was a wedding in their village, and asked Xu Ziqi if he would still accept the banquet.

Xu Ziqi directly refused. Originally, this time he was helping a friend, and he also opened a small shop.

Opening a small shop is much more comfortable than cooking a big banquet, and you can make more money.

And these days, the diners in the group have been urging.

Some diners even joked that if Xu Ziqi didn't open again, they would call the police and say that the boss was missing.

"Ziqi, thank you so much this time."

Before leaving, Fang Ming said sincerely and handed over a thick red envelope.

Xu Ziqi took it and weighed it. It was quite heavy. It was estimated to be several thousand yuan.

"It's okay. It's just a small favor." Xu Ziqi accepted the red envelope and asked, "Your father-in-law should be satisfied, right?"

"More than satisfied." Fang Ming said exaggeratedly, "He almost passed out after eating. After that, he even asked me to drink and said he wanted to become sworn brothers with me."

Xu Ziqi recalled it and it seemed to be true.

Fang Ming's father-in-law had drunk a lot of wine. He stood up and staggered with his glass raised. He was still mumbling something. It turned out that he wanted to become sworn brothers with me.

You call me brother, and I call you dad?

"Okay, as long as you are satisfied, I wish you a happy wedding." Xu Ziqi said with a smile: "I will go back first if I am fine."

"Thank you, but Ziqi..."

"What's wrong?"

Looking at his childhood friend, Fang Ming said seriously: "We grew up together, so I won't be polite. Anyway, if you need any help in the future, just tell me, and I will do what I can."

Xu Ziqi hit him, "Okay, you said you won't be polite anymore, and you are still saying these useless things. I am so tired. I won't talk to you anymore. I will go back."

"Okay, then you drive slowly."

"Okay."

Back home, the little girl in the yard was jumping around with a star stick in one hand.

Seeing her brother coming back, she ran over and handed him another one.

"Brother, this is for you."

"Okay."

Xu Ziqi took it, played with his sister for a while, and then took his sister into the living room, where everyone was.

"You must be tired. Sit down and take a rest." The old lady smiled when she saw Xu Ziqi.

She knew that Xu Ziqi was busy from morning till night, and the feasts he ate were praised by the villagers, which made her a little proud.

"It's okay, not very tired."

Xu Ziqi sat down with his sister, facing the eyes of his family, and said, "Everyone is here, I want to announce something."

"Just say what you want to say, why are you so serious." Liang Sufen tapped his head lightly.

Xu Ziqi didn't care, and continued, "Tomorrow I have an appointment with others to see the new house, so grandpa and grandma, dad and mom, let's go to the city together tomorrow."

"If you want to see the house, you and your dad and mom can go. Your grandma and I are old, so we won't go."

Hearing this news, the old man was a little surprised, but more happy.

I heard Xu Ziqi say before that he was going to buy a new house, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

You have to know that his grandson is only in his early twenties, and he can buy a house with his own ability. The speed of making money is as fast as a rocket.

"You and grandma will also live in this new house, so your opinions are very important." Xu Ziqi said seriously.

"We have no opinions, just a place to live is enough." The old lady said with a smile.

She was afraid of troubling her grandson. At their age, they are really not interested in these things.

Let alone a new house, just a place to live is enough, anyway, they have lived through hard times.

And in this last stage of life, their biggest hope is to have family members around them all the time, not like other old people who die alone.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter.

Xu Ziqi then persuaded a few more words, Xu Gaoyi and Liang Sufen also joined in, and the two old people agreed with a smile.

The little girl cheered and jumped for joy: "We are going to see the new house tomorrow."

Since they had to go back to the city the next day, Xu Ziqi asked them to rest early, and he himself returned to the room after taking a shower.

The house in my hometown only has two rooms. One room is for my grandparents to live in and store some sundries.

The remaining four of them squeezed into the other room.There are two iron beds in the room, he and his father sleep on one, and his sister and mother sleep on the other.

Everyone is in the room now.

Xu Gaoyi lies on the bed, flipping through a book in the dim light, sighing for no reason, closing the book and looking at the dilapidated ceiling; "Alas, this house has been here for decades, and it feels a bit strange to move out all of a sudden."

"What's strange about it? Isn't it good to move to a new house?"

Xu Ziqi was playing with his mobile phone on the pillow, and when he moved slightly, the rusty iron bed made a shaking "squeaking" sound.

"The iron bed you sleep on is quite old."

Xu Gaoyi looked at his son and smiled, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, "This iron bed was made by your grandfather. It has been there since I was a child. But after moving out, I didn't have many opportunities to sleep on it."

"That's great. Let's give this bed to us on the last day of moving out."

After Xu Ziqi answered, he stared at his phone for a while and cursed again: "Damn, there is no signal again."

There is no WiFi installed in his hometown. He is now connected to the neighbor's house, but the signal is not very good and is always interrupted.

"I don't have a signal either. I'm watching a drama." Liang Sufen complained. It was too uncomfortable to watch halfway.

"Your dad is old and likes nostalgia." Liang Sufen put down the phone and said that there was no TV to watch, so he could only chat.

Xu Gaoyi didn't want to admit that he was old, and smiled and said: "This is not nostalgia, at most it is a feeling of emotion."

"Dad, what is a feeling of emotion?" Xu Ruoling asked curiously with big eyes.

"When you see something, you will think of something or someone." Xu Ziqi answered.

"Then Ling'er knows."

Xu Ruoling counted on her fingers, "When Ling'er sees a big chicken leg, she thinks of grandpa; when she sees delicious rice (clay rice), she thinks of her brother; when she sees a lollipop, she thinks of sister Xiaoye (Ye Xiaoyu often buys her candy)."

"Does this count as being emotional?"

"Why do you think of food?" Xu Ziqi knocked her head.

"With a brother like you, it's normal for my sister to become a foodie." Xu Gaoyi said.

"Yes, in that case, I want to make her plump and white." Xu Ziqi pinched his sister's cheeks.

After these days of feeding, Xu Ruoling's pretty face has long become a chubby pretty face, and it feels super good to pinch it now.

Xu Ruoling was not convinced and pinched it back.

Xu Gaoyi and Liang Sufen looked at the confrontation between the brother and sister and couldn't help but smile.

The night in the countryside was quiet, and from time to time there were a few cheerful bird calls outside the house, as if they were sharing the joy with the family.
