Chapter 108: You are not a child anymore, it’s time for you to be sensible!

"Then you..." Lin Ziqiu was afraid that Zhong Zhiyang would get suspicious after hearing that she had been here before, so she interrupted and said, "My family was worried that he was always outside, so I came to check on him."

"He's not a kid anymore, it's time for him to be sensible!" The old woman continued, "New Year's Day is coming soon, will he still live here?"

"The rent has not yet been paid, we can't waste it. I think this yard is pretty good, and it's a good thing that he can live independently. But don't worry, there will definitely be no more things that disturb everyone's rest in the middle of the night in the future." Lin Ziqiu said, and winked at Zhong Zhiyang, asking him to express his opinion as well.

Zhong Zhiyang had never interacted with people in the alley before, so he said a little stiffly: "I was ignorant before, I apologize to everyone here, I won't do it again in the future."

He bowed slightly to show his sincerity.

The maids were not such mean people. Seeing how sincere he was and thinking about the tragedy of him being dumped, they did not bother with him just having a child.

After seeing them off, Lin Ziqiu and Zhong Zhiyang went into the house.

She locked the door and took Zhong Zhiyang to show him everything in the room.

Zhong Zhiyang was completely stunned, "This... so many..."

"Where did all this come from?"

Lin Ziqiu couldn't explain too much to him, so he just said, "Don't worry about where it comes from. It's good stuff from legitimate channels. Count it and keep a record."

"Then...then how are you going to change it?"

Zhong Zhiyang's words touched upon the sore spot of the matter.

Lin Ziqiu has been thinking about this problem these days. Originally, she wanted to sell it at a low price, but Zhong Zhiyang's words reminded her that individual industrial and commercial households do not exist at all now. If she rashly does such a thing, there will definitely be big problems, and her whole family might even be in trouble.

Besides, she had no way to explain the source of all this stuff.

"Don't worry about that for now. Just follow my instructions and do the preparations."

Lin Ziqiu could only comfort Zhong Zhiyang temporarily and had to think of a solution.

In the afternoon, Zhong Zhiyang stayed here to count the supplies, and Lin Ziqiu went to the state-owned restaurant.

She had taken two days off, and Tian Gui had been covering her shift, so she came over in the evening to take over so that Uncle Tian could have a rest.

Tian Xiaofeng hadn't seen her for two days and was still missing her.

"Sister, why did you take leave?"

Lin Ziqiu was afraid that he would see through her, so she gave the simplest reason, "I've been feeling a little tired lately, so I wanted to rest at home for two days. I came back to work after not having enough blood back."

Tian Xiaofeng couldn't help but said distressedly: "You are indeed working hard. Let my father make something delicious tomorrow to nourish you."

"I think you've lost some weight again." Lin Ziqiu pinched her face, "Isn't that right? I thought I gained weight!"

She weighed herself on the scale in the warehouse last night and found that she had gained five or six kilograms compared to when she was just reborn.

I used to be too thin, with no flesh on my face, which made me look malnourished and pale.

Now that I'm a little fatter, I look very healthy.

"It won't matter if you gain another ten pounds." Tian Xiaofeng is fatter than his older brother, with a chubby face. No wonder he is greedy, because whatever his brother doesn't eat goes into his stomach anyway.

In addition, Lin Ziqiu's cooking skills are good, and he has gained a few pounds since Lin Ziqiu came to the restaurant.

When the store was about to close in the evening, an uninvited guest came into the store.

Tian Xiaofeng was wiping the table when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up and couldn't help frowning.

“We’re closed.”

Ruan Qing looked down at his watch and said, "Isn't there still half an hour left?"

Tian Xiaofeng choked. She came well prepared and even knew the business hours very well.

There are usually not many customers at this time, and most of the other waiters in the store have left, leaving only Lin Ziqiu and Zhong Zhiyang cleaning up the store.

Lin Ziqiu heard the voice and came out from the kitchen. Seeing her, she was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Ruan, what would you like to eat?"

Everyone who comes here is a customer. There is no reason to chase them away, especially since it is not yet closing time.

Tian Xiaofeng was a little unhappy. Ruan Qing was just a bad woman.

She knew that Zhong Heyang was his sister's husband, but she still shamelessly approached him. What's even more infuriating is that she was in a relationship with Zhong Xuexi!

Lin Ziqiu gave him a calming look and ordered, "Xiaofeng, go pour a cup of hot tea for the guest."

Tian Xiaofeng pouted and went anyway despite being reluctant.

Ruan Qing didn't care about Tian Xiaofeng's attitude. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Ms. Lin still knows how to do business."

Lin Ziqiu took the menu from the counter and handed it to Ruan Qing, "Here's the menu, take a look at what you want to eat, but we're almost closing now, and the ingredients are limited."

Ruan Qing didn't look at the menu, but ordered the dishes herself. "I heard that Miss Lin is an excellent cook. I wonder if she can cook everything."

Lin Ziqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the other party was intentionally testing him.

"What would you like to eat, Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Qing tapped his fingers on the table twice, staring at Lin Ziqiu intently, "I want to drink taro bubble milk tea."

When Lin Ziqiu heard these words, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Ruan Qing changed a little.

Lin Ziqiu didn't dare to think too much at the moment, and deliberately looked confused, "What is milk tea? I have never heard of it."

Ruan Qing held his chin up thoughtfully, "I learned about it by chance when I was studying in another province."

When she explained, her expression was very calm, and she didn't seem to want to lie at all.

Lin Ziqiu clenched his palms with his fingertips and said calmly, "This is the first time I've heard of this. If Miss Ruan wants to drink it, I really can't help you."

Ruan Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just eat something else."

She pretended to be magnanimous and glanced at the menu, but the name of the dish she called out was not on the menu.

"Then let's have an Angus beef burger."

Lin Ziqiu: “?”

What the hell?

Ruan Qing added: "Or the black and gold pistol leg is also OK."

Lin Ziqiu: “…”

At this moment, she was absolutely convinced that Ruan Qing in front of her was definitely not from this era.

But what is still uncertain is whether Ruan Qing was reincarnated like himself.

"Ms. Lin, I don't understand whether you really want to come here for dinner or have another purpose?"

"Of course I'm here to eat."

Ruan Qing curved her eyebrows and said, "If you don't have any of that, then a plate of marbling fried chicken will also be fine."

Lin Ziqiu: “…”

Tian Xiaofeng came over with a cup of water and put it on Ruan Qing's desk in an unpleasant manner.

"We don't have the dishes you mentioned in our restaurant. These are the only ones on the menu. If you don't want to eat them, you can leave."

Ruan Qing rarely cared about the original owner's difficult and willful personality, and was not at all displeased by Tian Xiaofeng's bad attitude.

She was certain from Lin Ziqiu's reaction that he, like herself, did not belong to this world.

It is very likely that he came from a book just like her.
