Soon it was time for the foreign language competition. Xu Ying did not go to school, so Huo Chen drove her to the Magic City.

The store was handed over to Wang Fucheng and Zhang Hongxia.

There were no trains running, but we still arrived in the evening.

As soon as they drove to the door of Zhou's house and turned off the engine, Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou came out, supporting each other. When they saw their grandson, their eyes lit up: "Chen'er, Yingying, the room is ready for you, hurry home."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou thought that it was getting late and the two of them would definitely not have time to eat dinner while driving, so she called Aunt Zhou, "Big aunt, make some noodles for Chen'er and Yingying."

Aunt Zhou responded and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Huo Chen and Xu Ying followed the old couple into the yard.

Aunt Zhou looked at Huo Chen, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and soon she came over with a smile on her face: "This is Huo Chen, the last time Aunt Zhou had something to do, she left first.

I haven't seen you for a long time, but I feel very close to you now that I see you."

Huo Chen glanced coldly at Aunt Zhou San and nodded at her. His wife had told her about the third aunt in the evening. He really didn't like people who found fault with his wife.

Aunt Zhou San looked at Huo Chen's cold expression, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She put away her hypocritical smile and turned back into the house.

Seeing the man, she complained angrily: "I just tried to please him. I greeted him in a nice way and he just nodded at me.

You don't even call me aunt, which means you look down on me, your third aunt, and you, your third uncle."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Chen brought Xu Ying into the house. Seeing Uncle Zhou San, he called out, "Uncle San."

Uncle Zhou San's face was immediately filled with joy.

On Wednesday, Auntie widened her eyes and was extremely angry. This brat must have done it on purpose.

Xu Ying suppressed her smile and poked the man's waist: "What are you doing?"

"Avenge you and let her bully you." Huo Chen said with a curl of his lips.

Xu Ying felt very happy.

Aunt Zhou quickly prepared two bowls of noodles and brought them out: "Hurry up and eat first. Does Yingying have an exam tomorrow?

Eat early, go to bed early, and don’t miss the exam tomorrow.”

"Thank you, aunt." Xu Ying thanked her and couldn't wait to start eating. It must be said that her aunt's cooking skills were really good. Although the noodles she made were simple, they were delicious.

Aunt Zhou looked at Xu Ying eating noodles and couldn't help but ask, "How does it taste?"

Xu Ying praised it highly: "It's delicious and very fragrant."

Aunt Zhou was very surprised when she heard this. To be honest, she was very happy after returning to the city.

But as I returned to the city with the man, new worries arose. Before I was sent down to the countryside, all I had to worry about every day was filling my stomach and not getting sick or hungry.

Now that I'm back, life is better, but new problems have arisen. A family can't just live off their savings, so I have to find a partner to earn money.

Aunt Zhou's family used to be in business, and now they want to go back to their old ways and continue doing business. Ever since she tasted the food cooked by Xu Ying, she has witnessed what real good cooking skills are.

So she wanted to shamelessly learn some cooking skills from her nephew's wife.

"Yingying, do you think there is anything that needs improvement on your aunt's side?" Aunt Zhou asked curiously.

Aunt Tuesday and Aunt Wednesday sat aside and watched attentively.

Aunt Zhou listened to her words with sparkling eyes: "Okay, I'll improve it. You're really a great chef, you know a lot."

Aunt Zhou San curled her lips in disdain: "It's just a bowl of noodles. Why make so much fuss? Isn't it enough to just eat it?"

Xu Ying ignored her, looked up at her aunt and asked curiously, "Aunt, are you going to open a restaurant?"

Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile: "Your uncle and I are getting old, and it's not easy to find a job outside. We might as well go back to our old business. Our Zhou family has been doing business for generations, and your uncle and I also want to continue doing business."

As soon as she said this, Aunt Zhou San looked at her with disdain, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying this, but it's too undignified to do business in such a public way.

Otherwise, I'll ask my niece's family. They all work in state-owned factories, so it's easy for them to find a decent job."

"Why is it unrespectable for my third brother's wife to do business? At least we earn our living with our own hands and don't rely on our parents for support." Aunt Zhou deliberately raised her voice.

The third son's wife is short-sighted. As soon as my parents came back, she started thinking about their money. Her greed is so ugly.

Xu Ying supported Aunt Zhou on this point: "Aunt, we earn our living by our own ability, not relying on anyone else. What's wrong with earning clean money?"

Aunt Zhou sneered: "That's right."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Ying with a sincere smile: "Yingying, my aunt has bought five stores and plans to turn them into restaurants."

Xu Ying almost choked on her noodles. "Aunt, you rented five stores in Shanghai at once? How many years?"

“We didn’t rent it, we bought it. It’s not expensive, only 50,000 yuan for one store.

Fortunately, your uncle and I had some family property hidden away, otherwise we would have been starving when we returned."

"So cheap?" Xu Ying's face was full of shock. Fifty thousand for a family was really not expensive. In a prosperous place like Shanghai, this would be a lot of money in later generations.

However, the Zhou family is indeed powerful. They have hidden hundreds of thousands of dollars in private possession, which is enough to buy the house, and they will need money for subsequent business.

Since Aunt Zhou dared to do this, she must have a lot of savings.

"It's not bad, your uncle's former friend gave me a discount.

Yingying, do you want to buy some stocks? You are a good cook. If we work together, we will definitely make money.

My aunt won't cheat you. When we make money, how about we split it 50-50 between our two families?

You provide the cooking skills, and I will provide the store and labor costs." Aunt Zhou's face was full of expectations. If Yingying agreed, it would definitely be a win-win.

Xu Ying hesitated for a moment. She still had to go to school and was afraid she didn’t have time to teach cooking.

"Aunt, I'm at school and don't have time to teach you cooking." Xu Ying blinked her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't want to.

"This is easy to solve. My aunt can set up a chef training class near your school, and I'll have someone teach you a little bit every day after school.

After they learn it, let these people come back to work." After saying that, Aunt Zhou felt a little thirsty and turned her head to drink some water. Unexpectedly, she saw Aunt Zhou's magnified face. She was so scared that she trembled all over and scolded angrily, "Third brother's sister-in-law, what are you doing?

You don't know how people scare you to death, but you want to scare me to death with your big face. "

On Wednesday, my aunt listened too seriously. She smiled shyly and asked curiously, "Does running a restaurant make money?"
