Chapter 316 Going to Sweetheart Place

"Sister, I'm hungry." Green Bean said in a low but clear voice, and rubbed his stomach.

Uncle Yan stopped the carriage and asked outside: "Mingzhu, how about we go to the county to eat something first, and then go to Tianxinfang to have a look."

Ye Mingzhu knew what Uncle Yan meant, that Aunt Jiang might be in Sweetheart Place. She patted Ye Yun'an before agreeing.

Ye Yun'an's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Luodou praising the snacks of Sweetheart House, making Luodou drool.

Ye Mingzhu found it a little funny. She had obviously not treated the two little guys badly, but along the way, not to mention Green Bean, even Ye Yun'an was becoming a foodie. It wasn't even time for dinner yet, but they started thinking about what to eat.

Fortunately, we have arrived in the county, so even if we rest for half a day, it will not delay our return home.

Besides, tomorrow is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, so they have to buy some New Year's goods.

As they walked towards the county town, they clearly felt the atmosphere of the New Year. There were many more people queuing up to enter the county town than before.

After entering the county town, there were even more people on the road and the carriage could hardly move.

Someone tried to persuade him to stop the carriage for a fee of ten copper coins, but Uncle Yan refused outright.

There were too many things in their carriage. If they left them somewhere else, it would be a big problem if something got lost.

Uncle Yan looked at the road conditions and realized he couldn't make it. He said to Ye Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, why don't you take Yun'an and Ludou to Tianxinfang? I'll wait here for you. We'll go back in an hour."

Ye Mingzhu had no other choice but to agree.

Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou, who were worried about being left behind, smiled. They had been sitting in the carriage all the way, and seeing so many people, they wanted to get off and take a walk.

Ye Mingzhu is quite familiar with the county town, and Ye Yun'an has been there several times. Uncle Yan emphasized to Ludou that he must keep a close eye on Ye Yun'an and Ye Mingzhu, because if they were caught by human traffickers again, they might not be rescued.

Green Bean's face immediately turned pale, and he held Ye Yun'an's hand tightly: "I will definitely listen to Brother Yun'an and Sister."

Ye Mingzhu patted Ludou's head soothingly: "Just don't run around and don't go with strangers, and you'll be fine."

Green Bean used his free hand to grab Ye Mingzhu's collar: "I will definitely not run around."

Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Yun'an, and he immediately promised to be obedient.

Ye Mingzhu then said goodbye to Uncle Yan and took the two of them to Sweetheart Place.

There were so many people on the road that they had to take a detour through a smaller route before they could successfully reach Sweetheart Place.

It was the first time for Ye Yun'an and Luodou to see so many people, and there were people selling food and small items on the road.

Although they were watching intently, they kept their eyes on Ye Mingzhu and followed her closely, fearing that they would be left behind.

When a vendor tried to talk to them, they were so scared that they quickly left.

Ye Mingzhu found it a little funny, but didn't say anything. She was worried that something might happen to her taking care of two children alone.

Only when she arrived at Sweetheart Place did she feel completely relieved.

Ruan Linlin, who was settling the bill with a customer, saw Ye Mingzhu, her eyes lit up, and she turned her head inside, meaning to let her go in first.

Ye Mingzhu looked at the people queuing outside, nodded to Ruan Linlin, and walked in.

Mo Wan was walking towards this side from the backyard carrying freshly made snacks, and happened to see Ye Mingzhu.

"Boss, you're back? Mother, mother, Boss is back."

Mo Wan shouted at the back in a shrill voice.

"Is the boss back?"

"Is Mingzhu back?"

...Several people came over and wanted to talk.

Ye Mingzhu kept answering questions from several people.

"Okay, let Mingzhu go and rest for a while. Everyone should do what they need to do. We will continue later."

Aunt Jiang saw that everyone was talking all the time and Ye Mingzhu was almost unable to react, so she smiled and urged everyone to leave.

At this time, everyone started talking to Ye Mingzhu, bowed to each other and went back to work.

"Mom, I brought some things for you and left them at the city gate. Uncle Yan is watching there." Ye Mingzhu then spoke to Aunt Jiang.

"I thought you were still at the farm." Ye Mingzhu then noticed that Aunt Jiang was wearing an apron from Sweetheart Place and was even a little fatter than before she left.

"I have nothing to do at the farm, so I came here to accompany Xia Zhi. I can make snacks now." Aunt Jiang's face was rosy and she seemed to be a few years younger.

Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. What happened during the time they were away? Why was Aunt Jiang in such good condition?

Aunt Jiang asked with a smile if they had eaten.

Ye Yunan had a good relationship with Aunt Jiang before leaving, and acted like a spoiled child naturally: "Aunt, we ate a lot of dry food along the way, and now I want to eat some rice and stir-fried vegetables."

Aunt Jiang looked distressed: "I'll ask someone to go to the restaurant and buy some dishes for you."

After she finished speaking, she immediately went out and called Wu Tie in, asking him to run to the restaurant to buy some dishes.

Wu Tie quickly took off his apron and ran out.

After a while, the restaurant's food and the dishes cooked by Aunt Mo were brought over.

Aunt Mo smiled and said, "I've asked Xiao Tie to deliver the food box to Master Yan. You can eat without worry."

Ye Mingzhu blinked. It seemed that a lot of things had happened during the time she was away, and Aunt Mo had also changed a lot.

The kitchen was still making snacks. Aunt Mo came over and said a few words before leaving.

Aunt Jiang asked them to eat and talked about the changes in Aunt Mo during this period.

After Wu Tie and Mo Wan got engaged, Wu Tie became even more filial to Aunt Mo. After receiving his monthly allowance, he bought a handkerchief for both his biological mother Li Dani and Aunt Mo, and said that he would definitely treat Aunt Mo as his own mother in the future.

Aunt Mo was content with having a son, and she paid more attention to the affairs of Sweetheart Shop. During the Chinese New Year, Sweetheart Shop launched several new dim sum.

Sweetheart Shop is now crowded every day, and they have started to limit the number of customers.

Aunt Jiang wanted to take the account book to show Ye Mingzhu, but she quickly waved her hand: "Mom, let's wait until the end of the month to look at the account book together. We agreed on this before."

Aunt Jiang thought for a moment and nodded: "Linlin said that the store will be open for half a day tomorrow and everyone will go back to rest in the afternoon. I can go with you this afternoon."

Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but say, "Mom, do you think of yourself as the cook at Sweetheart House? You don't even want to go home."

Aunt Jiang nodded. "I'm thinking about coming back to Sweetheart Place to work after the New Year. During this time, with Mo Wan and the others accompanying me, I have something to do every day, and I sleep better at night."

"Let's talk about this after the New Year." Ye Mingzhu did not give her an accurate answer. She had to discuss this matter with Jiang Hongyu later.

"Mom, has Brother Yu come back recently? Can he go home for the New Year?" Ye Mingzhu didn't notice that there was expectation in her eyes when she said these words.

"Brother Yu came back some time ago and said that he would go ashore on New Year's Eve. Except for enough people left on the island to guard it, everyone else can go home for the New Year." Aunt Jiang glanced at Green Bean and whispered in Ye Mingzhu's ear.
