Although You Bin went to bed later, he still woke up earlier than Mr. Cen.

He got up quietly and found that Boss Ye and his family of three were all gone.

Meng Yu helped him prepare water and toiletries. Seeing his puzzled expression, he explained, "Brother Ye and Madam You have gone to the store. Miss Qingtian went to study with the teacher and will not be back until noon."

You Bin nodded when he heard that. Actually, he still had many questions in his mind, but he was so confused that he didn't know how to ask them for a moment, so he just washed up in silence.

However, he didn't say anything, but he couldn't resist Meng Yu's enthusiasm.

“You don’t know yet, but Madam You has opened a dumpling restaurant.

“At first, I became famous because I made dumplings stuffed with motherwort.

“Although the dandelions nowadays are not as delicious as they were in early spring, the store still has dumplings with other fillings.

“We’ve also added wontons, tofu pudding, and cold dishes, and business has been pretty good.

"Miss Qingtian saved an old man while fleeing from famine, and unexpectedly it turned out to be the famous Mr. Wei Yan.

“Now that I’ve been accepted as Mr. Wei’s apprentice, I have to go to the Qin residence every morning to learn how to read and write.

"Moreover, Miss Sunny is very smart, especially with an excellent memory. She can remember everything she has heard or seen.

“So usually, every morning after getting up and having breakfast at home, Big Brother Ye would send Qingtian to study, and then go to the store with Madam You to help.

"At noon, I took Qingtian to the store to eat and take a nap.

“Sometimes in the afternoon, Miss Qingtian would go to learn Western language from Madam Lu, and sometimes she would stay in the store to teach Madam You how to read.

"They will come back together in the evening to have dinner with the old man.

"This is roughly my daily schedule, and I'll go back to Rongxi Village occasionally."

Although You Bin didn't say anything, he was listening very carefully.

It was not until noon that Mr. Cen got up.

Meng Yu came over and asked, "Grandpa, are you eating at home or out today?"

Generally speaking, if he gets up late in the morning, Mr. Cen will go out to eat directly.

However, Meng Yu never dared to act on his own and always asked for advice.

Mr. Cen glanced at the clock in the corner and saw that it was almost lunchtime.

"Let's not eat anymore. Let's go out for a while and eat outside at noon." After washing and changing his clothes, Mr. Cen took You Bin out.

"Let's find a place to wash your hair and shave, and then go do some shopping.

"After lunch, let's find a place to have some tea, take a bath, and relax."

These were what You Bin often did with Mr. Cen before he was exiled.

But at this moment, it sounded like a world away, as if everything was very far away, making him feel a little dazed.

When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the chair.

Someone untied his hairband, combed his hair first with a comb, and then combed it carefully with a rake.

Someone put a hot towel on his face.

When his eyes were also covered with the hot towel, You Bin subconsciously felt a little flustered.

Immediately, Elder Cen's voice came from the side: "It's okay, I'm right next to you, just relax and enjoy it."

After hearing Mr. Cen's voice, You Bin convinced himself in his heart and gradually relaxed.

Although You Bin looked very old, he seemed very sloppy.

But no matter when he was crazy or after he regained his composure, he always remembered that he was a cook.

So I usually like to be clean, but I am a little unkempt.

After washing his hair and shaving his face, You Bin instantly looked several years younger.

"It looks much better this way." Mr. Cen had finished his meeting long ago and was sitting next to You Bin, chatting casually.

Seeing that he had finished everything, he looked left and right and expressed great satisfaction.

You Bin looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly said with some emotion: "Dad, do you still remember that we used to go out together to take a bath and shave.

"I never thought that decades have passed and we've both grown old."

"Oh, isn't it!" Mr. Cen thought of the happy times of the past and could only sigh.

However, compared with You Bin, who has lived in the memories of the past for almost half his life, Mr. Cen's life is more fulfilling.

Moreover, he was able to find an adopted son in his later years, and the son's madness was cured. This was definitely a great joy for Mr. Cen.

So he patted You Bin on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about the past. We have to look forward. Good days are still ahead!

"Come on, let's go out for a walk. First, I'll buy you some clothes and shoes, and then we'll find a place to eat."

You Bin had no objection to Mr. Cen's arrangement.

Because he was like this when he was a child, and he followed Mr. Cen's arrangements in everything, so he did not have the same sense of rejection that Mrs. Ye had at the beginning.

So the father and son went straight to the clothing store and tried on more than twenty sets of clothes.

"I want all of these." Mr. Cen directly selected a few sets and said, "Go find me a few more sets of undershirts and shoes and socks that he can wear."

The owner of the clothing store saw that a big customer had come today!

He quickly asked someone to brew a pot of tea, brought it over personally, and started to greet the guests.

Finally, Mr. Cen bought six sets of clothes, four sets of Chinese medicine, seven or eight pairs of socks and three pairs of shoes for You Bin at the clothing store.

"Dad, isn't this too much?" Even though You Bin had long been accustomed to following Mr. Cen's arrangements, he was a little overwhelmed at this moment.

"What's more? The weather is hot now, and you sweat all the time. You must have some clothes to change into.
