Eat

Taishi Zheng went out from the east, leaving Cang Yi and Song Mingyue to wait in the shop for a while.

The sisters-in-law were either standing or standing.

Song Mingyue looked at Cang Yi's back and casually asked, "Sister-in-law, she said she was going to call someone? Who could she call? Could it be that Second Sister-in-law is going home to invite her father?"

"I don't know. Let's wait." Cang Yi shook her head, glanced down at the dusty table, and walked out the door. Song Mingyue watched Cang Yi's figure approach and then fade away, and asked her, "Sister-in-law, where are you going now—"

Cang Yi stood under the door frame and looked around. "I'm going to borrow a rag and a basin. This is so dirty, I need to clean it up."

Cang Yi is a capable and careful person. Fortunately, the old lady agreed to this marriage because she doted on Cui Zhijian. Otherwise, if Cui Zhijian could not marry Cang Yi, it would not be a loss for Cang Yi, but a loss for Cui Zhijian and even the Bo Mansion.

Although Yu Yuelan felt that Cang Yi was not presentable in recent years, if she were really asked to find out her faults.

Yu Yuelan was afraid that she really couldn't answer it.

And what about Song Mingyue? She loved to be lazy. She would rather sit than stand. Enjoying life was what she pursued. She raised her hand and sighed, saying, "One or two, why can't you just sit still—"

-

More than two quarters of an hour later, Taishi Zheng came back from outside with a happy face, followed by an idle man carrying a lunch box.

Song Mingyue looked up and couldn't help asking, "Is this the person you called, Second Sister-in-law?"

Zheng shook her head, lifting the hem of her skirt and stepping over the threshold. She came up to Song Mingyue and replied, "This is the meal I ordered. It's almost noon. Aren't you hungry? Isn't Xiao Lao San hungry?"

Song Mingyue rubbed her stomach and smiled, "I don't know if Little Third is hungry, but I am a little hungry."

Zheng looked around, wondering why she couldn't see her sister-in-law, so she asked, "Sixth Brother, where's my sister-in-law? Why isn't she here?" Zheng casually touched the table, which had been neatly put away and looked brand new, and asked, "Who wiped this table and chairs? They're so clean."

Song Mingyue opened the lunch box that the idle man had placed on the table and replied nonchalantly, "If it's not our good sister-in-law, who else could it be? I don't have that kind of judgment. Sister-in-law went to return something to the herbal medicine shop across the street and will be back soon. Don't worry."

Song Mingyue is quite self-aware.

The idler had a table full of food and was about to leave with his food box. Zheng took out some coins from her sleeve and handed them to him as a reward for her hard work. The idler thanked her profusely and said he would come back later to take the food tray.

Zheng nodded and sent the person out the door, but when she looked up, she saw Cang Yi bringing out a basin of water from the herbal medicine shop opposite.

"Didn't the thing get wiped off? What's happening to sister-in-law now—" Zheng asked in confusion.

Cang Yi came in with a basin of water. "This water is clean. I brought it here so you can wash your hands. Zheng, come here. You go first."

She probably just saw Zheng slap her hands until they were black, so she prepared everything carefully for her. Cang Yi put the basin down and looked at the table full of food in surprise, "What's going on? Where did all this food come from?"

Zheng was washing her hands over there. When she heard Cang Yi asking, she quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, this is the lunch I ordered from An Ning Fang."

"Aren't you going to call someone? Why did you order some food? We can just go home for lunch. Don't waste your money. The food at An Ning Fang is not cheap. When you open a shop in the future, we will have a lot of places to spend money..."

After Zheng washed her hands, Cang Yi handed her a clean towel and couldn't help feeling worried.

Zheng smiled faintly, not complaining about her lack of understanding of the situation. She spoke to Cang Yi to comfort him, "It's okay, sister-in-law. It's just a meal. Besides, I'm treating you all to a meal, how can it be considered a waste of money? I thought since everyone has worked so hard to come here with me, I shouldn't treat everyone to a good meal to thank them. Let me tell you, this carp noodle shop in Anningfang is famous in Bianjing. Enjoy it today. If it's not enough, we can order more. Don't worry about anything else."

Seeing that Cang Yi was used to being frugal, Song Mingyue stood up and walked over to hold him down. "Sister-in-law, you just worry too much. Please sit down and relax. Don't let Second Sister-in-law down on her kindness. This dish can't be returned once it's ordered. Besides, who is our Second Young Master's wife? She owns half a street, how could she go broke on this meal? In fact, if I were to ask you to help Second Sister-in-law, it would be a small price to pay for her to treat you to this meal."

Song Mingyue turned her head and winked at Zheng, changing the topic to food. "Hey, sister-in-law, this carp noodles is the same Feng Qianchun one from Anningfang, right?"

Zheng joked, "Hey, Song Laoliu, you're quite knowledgeable."

Song Mingyue curled her lips. "Tsk, sister-in-law, you underestimate me too much. After all, I was once an official's wife for a few days, and I enjoyed many of the good things in the capital. It's just that I fell into decline later, but I shouldn't be much worse than you."

Song Mingyue was right.

Although her family's power had declined, her father's tabloid business had flourished in recent years. He had made a killing. While she wasn't the richest person in the Bo family, she was definitely in the top three. So, when Tai Shi Zheng opened her noodle shop, she planned to invest more money.

"Yes, yes, you are no worse than me! How could the famous Song Laoliu be worse than me? Okay, stop talking, the food will get cold anyway." Zheng said as she pulled out a pair of chopsticks and respectfully handed them to Cang Yi, "Sister-in-law, please go first."

Cang Yi still felt a little distressed, "Zheng, this is just the first time. Don't spend so much money next time. The three of us can get together, even if it's just eating at a roadside stall, it would be great."

After she finished speaking, Cang Yi still didn't want to offend Zheng and reached out to take the chopsticks. She said, "Alright, alright, everyone, please sit down. There are no other elders here, so why should we go through all that etiquette? Let's eat."

Zheng let out a sigh, smiled, and sat down next to Cang Yi.

She couldn't help but look at Cang Yi.

Cang Yi continued to fulfill her responsibilities as an elder, patiently adding more food to the younger generation around her. But when she looked back and saw Zheng's smiling face, she couldn't help but laugh, "Zheng, why are you staring at me? Is there something fishy on my face?"

Zheng smiled and shook her head, "No. It's just that when I see you, I think of someone. That person would have taken care of me, loved me, planned and worried about everything for me. Just like you are to my biological sister. It's a pity that I haven't seen her in a long time."

Zheng thought of Si Kou Jue again, the man she had depended on throughout her childhood.

When she looked at the person in front of her, she always had an illusion that Cang Yi was the one who took over from her elder sister and continued to love her.

To the extent that Zheng likes her sister-in-law very much and does not reject this "chaotic" home.

Cang Yi's eyebrows trembled slightly when he heard this.

In that instant, she suddenly understood the meaning of family, a completely different feeling from when she was with Cui Zhijian. However, Cang Yi's timidity and inferiority made her always doubt that she was not worthy of being a family with them.

Their world was too far away from her.

"I didn't have an older sister growing up, so my eldest sister-in-law is also my biological sister." Song Mingyue, unwilling to be left behind, stepped forward. Zheng saw that she was trying to argue with her and immediately retorted, "Song Laoliu, you're arguing about this too! You're already the sixth child, how can you say you didn't have an older sister growing up? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten for saying that?"

Cang Yi put down the small bowl of rice and continued: "Zheng, Mingyue is right. She really doesn't have any sisters..."

"Ah?" Zheng was puzzled.

Cang Yi explained: "Mingyue, the sixth child, follows her brothers. Mingyue has five older brothers."

"Five brothers!?"

Zheng was extremely surprised, "No wonder the third brother is afraid of you, who would dare to provoke you——"

Song Mingyue was complacent, "Then don't mess with me, my father and brother are very scary."

The three sisters-in-law looked at each other in tacit understanding, and all of them couldn't help laughing. The laughter lingered in the air. Today, there were no men participating. In this small shop, only a few women sat at the table and laughed. The sky was shining, and their conversation was full of their imaginations about the future.

Zheng Chen was here, scanning every bright eye and brow, picking up a chopstick of sweet and sour fish belly and putting it into his mouth.

I just feel that their days are long like flowing water, plain but full of hope.

At that moment, someone approached, looked at the people sitting and chatting inside, and gently knocked on the door. The person's voice was soft, and when his eyes fell on Taishi Zheng, he smiled knowingly, "I'm sorry to bother you. I wonder if I'm coming at the right time. Have I disturbed you?"

The laughter stopped, and Song Mingyue and Cang Yi turned away without recognizing him.

Only Zheng stood up and smiled, "How can you be a bother? Sister Yi is here just in time, please come in~"

As he was speaking, the sound of a cow bell rang out outside the door.

Yi Zishi and Taishi Zheng both turned their heads and saw that the people calling out to them were arriving one after another.
