Xu Lanzhi said to Zili, "As for you, Mr. Liu said that you are born to study. Study hard, and when the time comes, you will pass the imperial examination with flying colors and return home in glory. Everyone who sees your mother will have to respect her!"

Feeling a little proud of his aunt's praise for his independence, he said, "Qiqi said the same thing, saying that I should study hard with Mr. Liu, but I think Qiqi is the one who is good at studying!"

Xu Lanzhi laughed: "Qiqi is too playful, she's not as reliable as you!"

Qiu Mei felt bad after all and said shyly, "Lan Zhi, we really don't know how to repay your kindness!"

Even Wang couldn't stand it anymore. She glanced at Qiu Mei and said, "That's the problem with you. Since Lanzhi has said so, and Zili is ambitious, let him study hard. As for you, just take good care of the chicken farm for Lanzhi. If you earn money, you'll be helping Lanzhi. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

When Wang raised her voice, Qiu Mei dared not say anything more and said to Xu Lanzhi, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help!"

Xu Lanzhi said with a smile, "My mother and I were kicked out. The sisters said they would cook for us, so you can just sit here and chat with us and see what the children have prepared for us."

The three of them sat and chatted for a while, and then Zhao Di led her six younger sisters to serve the dishes.

Spicy diced chicken, steamed mandarin fish, stewed beef with potatoes, eight-treasure duck, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, Mapo tofu... and of course, Sidi's assorted steamed buns.

A large table of dishes, with perfect color, aroma and taste, and a good mix of meat and vegetables, surprised Wang, Xu Lanzhi and Qiu Mei.

Tang Qiqi kept her head buried in her bowl the whole time, eating with great relish!

Finally, she patted her round little belly and said, "With your cooking skills, it's a shame you're not running a restaurant!"

With the affirmation of her family, Zhao Di was full of confidence. After having a reunion dinner that day, the next day, Yin Di went with her to find a suitable shop.

When Zhao Di saw that Yin Di had opened four completely unrelated shops together and the business was surprisingly good, she asked, "Yin Di, how did you come up with this idea?"

Yindi said, "I don't have that ability. It was Qiqi's idea. She said that doing business is about making things convenient for customers, and I never expected it to actually work."

Zhao Di added, "Is Mr. Liu going to switch careers and become an accountant? I see him waiting every day to help you with your accounts. You really have good taste, girl. When can we have our wedding banquet?"

Yindi blushed and said, "Elder sister, our relationship is still far from settled. I will only consider marriage after you find a suitable husband!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Di's face darkened slightly. She said somewhat dejectedly, "Why are you waiting for me? I just want to open a proper shop and cook delicious food!"

Yindi didn't know if Zhaodi had recovered from the trauma of that past year. Realizing she had spoken out of turn, she quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Sister, in my opinion, you should rent your shop near mine. This is the center of the county, with a lot of foot traffic, and we can look out for each other!"

Zhao Di nodded in agreement: "We'll do it your way!"

Soon, they found a suitable shop, but unfortunately, it was owned by the Sun family. Remembering the unpleasantness they had had with the Sun family, Yindi was a little apprehensive.

Zhao Di was unaware of the reason behind it; she only felt that the shop was good in every way and was determined to close the deal.

Not wanting to disappoint her eldest sister, Yindi went to ask Liu Rufeng for help.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rufeng said, "This is a good thing. Although the Sun family's shop is nice, it is too big. Ordinary families simply cannot afford to rent it. Now that you are willing to rent it, Sun Zhiyuan will probably be grinning from ear to ear."

So Liu Rufeng invited Sun Zhiyuan out so that he could talk to Zhao Di and Yin Di.

Sun Zhiyuan was eager to rent out the shop, and when he heard that it was Yindi's sister who wanted to open a restaurant, he said with a grin, "Since it's your sister-in-law who wants to rent the place, I'll give her a discount!"

The rental agreement was quickly finalized, and Zhao Di began preparing for the restaurant's opening.

They were busy decorating the house, buying cooking utensils, purchasing tables and chairs, and hiring help.

Fortunately, the Tang family is now rich and powerful, and before long, Zhao Di's Juxian Restaurant opened smoothly.

On the opening day, Zhao Di followed Tang Qiqi's suggestion and offered the first five tables free each day, and half-price for the first three days, which attracted a lot of customers.

The Tang family were born into poverty and had no prominent relatives; all the guests were there to make a living.

Because of her relationship with Yindi, Liu Rufeng naturally prepared gifts to offer her congratulations. To the Tang family's surprise, Sun Zhiyuan also prepared gifts and came with Liu Rufeng.

Of course, guests are always welcome, and although the Tang family was surprised, they still warmly invited them in.

Zhao Di wore a red short jacket and a fringed skirt that day, looking very festive.

That year, she grew even taller and more voluptuous, with beautiful features, attracting everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

Looking at the graceful Zhao Di, Sun Zhiyuan said, "The Tang family is truly a den of beauties; each of the sisters is more beautiful than the last!"

Liu Rufeng's gaze remained fixed on Yindi, completely ignoring what Sun Zhiyuan was saying, and he simply replied casually, "Mhm!"

Just then, a man dressed in a royal blue robe with gold-embroidered cloud and floral patterns walked in with an elegant demeanor.

The man was about seventeen or eighty years old, with a handsome face full of masculinity. Behind him was a servant carrying a gift box, and several others carrying boxes.

Sun Zhiyuan unconsciously sat up straight and said, "Rufeng, what's the background of this playboy? If I had known there was such a person, I should have prepared a more generous gift."

Liu Rufeng also found it strange: "I have never seen this person in the Tang family before. He looks like he is either very rich or very powerful. Judging from his demeanor, he must have a special relationship with the Tang family!"

Such a handsome young man, with such a grand display, naturally attracted everyone's attention.

But the Tang family didn't know who these people were. Jie Di said to Xu Lanzhi, "Mother, do we have such impressive relatives in our family?"

Xu Lanzhi shook her head, and before she could speak, Zhao Di blushed and went over to say, "Young Master Lu, what brings you here?"

The man laughed heartily: "Since your restaurant is opening, I naturally have to come and ask for a drink!"

After saying that, he had his attendant bring the things up.

Zhao Di scolded, "This is Huaiyuan County, how can you be so irresponsible? If my family sees this, I don't know what they'll misunderstand!"

The man, still with a warm smile, said, "Miss Zhaodi, you run a restaurant. What, aren't you going to invite me in for a seat, or are you going to kick me out?"

Zhao Di knew that the more she joked with him, the more curious everyone would become, so she let him into the private room upstairs.

But Young Master Lu seemed afraid that others wouldn't know, so he didn't go upstairs, but went straight to Xu Lanzhi and the others.

Zhao Di was a little flustered and asked in a low voice, "Lu Tianyu, this way, what are you doing there!"

Lu Tianyu smiled brightly: "As a junior, I naturally have to pay my respects to my elders first!"

"Come back here!" Zhao Di stomped her feet in anger, but Lu Tianyu remained unmoved. He went directly to Xu Lanzhi and said politely, "Madam Xu, how have you been? I, Lu Tianyu, am here to offer my opinion."

Xu Lanzhi was still wondering who Lu Tianyu was when Tang Qiqi remembered him. She clapped her hands and said, "So you're that big brother!"

Lu Tianyu said happily, "Qiqi is so great, she still remembers her brother!"

Seeing that Xu Lanzhi was still confused, Tang Qiqi whispered a few words in her ear. Xu Lanzhi suddenly realized and quickly stood up to greet him: "So it's Young Master Lu. I'm sorry for my rudeness. Please have a seat!"

After Lu Tianyu sat down, he began to chat with Wang Shi and Xu Lanzhi about all sorts of things, often making Wang Shi laugh heartily, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

Zhao Di hurried over and said, "Young Master Lu, your seat is on the second floor. I'll take you up!"

Lu Tianyu said with a mischievous grin, "I'm chatting with Grandma right now. How about we sit here, Grandma?"

Wang also said, "Zhaodi, we have so many guests to attend to, you go and do your work. Since Tianyu doesn't mind an old woman like me, let him sit here with us!"

Zhao Di felt uneasy, but dared not show it. She secretly glared at Lu Tianyu, but Lu Tianyu was only concerned with making Wang Shi happy.

Xu Lanzhi noticed something amiss and stood up, saying to Zhao Di, "Go ahead and get busy. Today's customers are all here for your dishes. And Mother is here too!"
