Tao Yuanzheng and Jinxiu were on duty on the first night, and the rest went back to rest.
Gao Zhijun returned to the courtyard in the east of the city at dinner time, and both families were waiting for her to come back for dinner.
In the hot pot restaurant, Sun Tielong had learned from his grandmother, uncle and aunt what happened on the way from Liangzhou to Taizhou. He also learned from his parents that Gao Zhijun was a doctor, and he also knew that she was engaged to Huo Jinqian from the Huo family. He knew that he was always one step behind and missed her.
"Grandma, uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, uncle and aunt, you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner. It may be late at this time, you can eat early and don't have to wait for me!"
Seeing that both families were waiting for her to eat, Gao Zhijun felt a little guilty. It was already late and it was past dinner time. They must be hungry.
"Zhijun, what nonsense are you talking about? The whole family must eat together. We all know you are busy, and we won't be hungry if we wait a while."
Zhuang Die said pretending to be angry.
"That's right, my in-laws are right. The whole family must eat together."
Zhang Chan continued.
Gao Zhijun was very moved after hearing this. This is the feeling of being valued and loved.
At this time, Xiao Cui came over and asked everyone to go eat.
Because Sun Tielong came back, Zhou Yuyi asked someone to prepare the restaurant's signature dishes to celebrate.
After everyone sat down, Gao Zhijun said to Sun Tielong, "This dinner tonight is to welcome you home, cousin!"
Gao Zhijun raised the wine in her hand and toasted Sun Tielong.
"Thank you, cousin, and thank you everyone!"
Sun Tielong also raised his glass and said.
"Cousin, you've seen it too. My aunt has opened a restaurant, so you should quit your job at the escort agency and come back to help. The restaurant's business is booming, and it's bound to attract jealousy. With you back, you'll be able to oversee security, and no foolish people will dare to cause trouble."
Gao Zhijun said to Sun Tielong.
"Yes, son, just quit your job at the escort agency and come back to help. Your father and elder brother have been very busy these days and have lost weight."
Zhou Yuyi also echoed Gao Zhijun's words.
In the past, she had no choice but to let her second son become a bodyguard in order to make a living. But now it was different. She had her own restaurant and business was booming. She was short of staff and might even need to hire someone. If her second son came back, he would not only help, but also help her arrange a blind date with her matchmaker, solving his life's most important issue.
She hadn't been on a blind date before, firstly because he was a bodyguard, constantly on the road, and secondly because of Gao Zhijun. She had always felt that it was Lao Er and Tie Hai who had indirectly caused the death of her aunt's biological daughter. She wanted to make amends to her aunt and had always wanted to arrange a marriage between Lao Er and Gao Zhijun, to make amends.
Now that her niece is engaged, it’s impossible for her and the second son to be together. The second son should also go on a blind date.
She and Fusheng both knew how dangerous it was to be a bodyguard. If it weren't for life, she wouldn't have been willing to let her son do that life-threatening job.
Now that they have a restaurant, the family's life is no longer a problem. She would never agree to her second son going back to be a bodyguard.
"Brother, just listen to mother, quit your job as a bodyguard, and come back to help out at the restaurant. Together, we two brothers will manage the restaurant well, so that parents can enjoy their retirement at home."
Sun Tiechi also advised.
It was because he was useless that his younger brother became a bodyguard at such a young age.
He saw his mother secretly crying several times because she missed and worried about her younger brother.
"Okay, after the New Year, I'll go back and resign from my job as escort leader and come back to help you guys."
Seeing that his family wanted him to come back, Sun Tielong had no choice but to agree.
He was also tired of escorting, it was too dangerous.
There were several times when he thought he would never live to see his parents again.
"That's right, brothers working together can achieve great things. As long as you two brothers manage the restaurant well, it will definitely be prosperous."
Gao Zhijun said to Sun Tiechi and Sun Tielong.
In fact, she had thought about helping her cousin Tielong open a barbecue restaurant after he got married, so that the two brothers would not become enemies over the restaurant.
"My cousin is right. We two brothers will definitely work together to run the restaurant well."
Sun Tielong said.
Huo Jinqian sat next to Gao Zhijun, remaining silent. He quietly looked at Sun Tielong, the man who was engaged to his fiancée.
He could see that the man still liked Zhijun.
Listening to them chatting and laughing happily, he felt jealous.
As the saying goes, when rivals meet, they become extremely jealous of each other.
Gao Zhijun didn't know that Huo Jinqian beside her had such thoughts. She just listened to the local customs and interesting things that her cousin Tielong encountered while escorting the goods.
"By the way, cousin, I think I saw your uncle's daughter, your cousin, at the city gate today."
After Sun Tielong finished talking about those interesting things, he remembered meeting Gao Zhiyi today.
No wonder he always felt that he had forgotten something important. It turned out to be because of his cousin.
Gao Zhijun tried hard to find the memories left by the original owner, and finally remembered Gao Zhiyi, the daughter of the original owner's uncle.
This cousin was good to the original owner, kind-hearted, and had no strong opinions. That was why the original owner's grandmother married her to Ren Yu from Xiaohe Village for a gift of one or two taels of silver.
Later, the original owner learned from his parents that Ren Yu was lazy and liked to beat people. No family in the nearby area was willing to marry their daughter to him, so the Ren family looked for someone from another town whose background they didn't know. Grandma Gao pushed her granddaughter into the fire pit just for the sake of a few ounces of silver.
"Cousin? Gao Zhiyi. She's also in Taizhou. She's in the suburbs, right?"
If her cousin were here and encountered difficulties in life, she could help her as a way of repaying her kindness to the original owner.
