I was so busy today that I didn't even notice anyone come in. Thanks to Zhuangzhuang for his help.

"Here's a candy for you!"

Ruyi took out a piece of sesame candy from the counter and gave it to Zhuangzhuang as his reward.

Zhuangzhuang had just taken the candy when Qin Anming ran to him nervously and grabbed him, "Didn't I tell you not to come out?"

"I……"

Zhuangzhuang stuffed the candy into his mouth with grievance.

"Brother An Ming, Zhuang Zhuang is here to help serve. We just took two orders."

Seeing this, Ruyi immediately explained it to him.

Qin Anming was still very serious, "I told you not to come out, so you can't come out. If you are kidnapped, you won't even know it."

Thinking about it now, he still has a face full of fear. Zhuangzhuang is so cute, there might be many people staring at him. Besides, there are many people eating today, and he might be from everywhere. If he is kidnapped, there will be no place to find him.

"Got it. I'll just go back to the counter and not move."

Zhuangzhuang saw that his uncle was serious, so he didn't dare to laugh anymore.

After hearing what he said, Ruyi finally realized that it was not a good idea to let Zhuangzhuang run around alone. It is better to be safe than sorry.

He followed Qin Anming in a strong and listless manner and walked towards Uncle Xu's counter. Halfway there, he ran to the side of the two old men.

"Grandpa and grandma, please wait a moment."

He was the one who invited the person in, so he couldn't give up halfway. He should at least apologize to the person.

Having said that, he ran away without hesitation. If he had delayed any longer, his uncle would probably have complained to his mother.

The old man stared at Zhuangzhuang's departing back with interest.

It was the old woman who pushed him and finally woke him up.

"Don't look at it, the noodles are here."

As he said that, he handed him the chopsticks.

The old man took the chopsticks and smiled, "Come on, let's see how delicious the soup noodles that kid recommended are."

The old woman smelled it first and said, "It tastes really good, and is comparable to the medicinal food at Shangshansuo."

“It’s highly rated.”

The old man lifted his beard, took a closer sniff, and nodded in appreciation, "It's really good."

After smelling the fragrance, the two couldn't wait to eat it.

The two of them had just arrived in the county and were already very hungry. They had not been back for several years and had not expected that the street had changed so much and there was even a noodle restaurant.

"This medicinal food is easier to swallow than soup."

The old man stroked his round belly and spoke with satisfaction.

The old lady also put down her chopsticks and gave him a look of disdain, "Behave yourself."

The old man ignored her and looked to the other side thoughtfully.

Having slept in the same bed for decades, the old woman knew what he was thinking without even having to think.

"Are you interested in her?"

"This guy is quite interesting."

The old man didn't say anything directly, but stretched out his hand to smooth his beard.

"Indeed, he is very cute, white and plump, cheerful at first glance, and speaks in a very logical way." After the old woman finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, "Hey, how do you think he knows what we should supplement?"

The noodle soup that Gu Ling had just prepared was just right for the physical symptoms of both of them. Due to the rush on the road, both of them were feeling a little unwell. After drinking a bowl of medicinal food, although they would not feel better immediately, they did feel a lot better.

"Hey, that's interesting."

The old man was also surprised to hear her say this. He would not have thought of this if she hadn't said it. This girl is really interesting.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Hurry up and settle the bill. We have to walk back soon. With our old arms and legs, it won't be dark before we get home."

When the old woman had rested enough, she pulled him up. Although the two of them were always quarreling, there was deep love between their actions.

The two old men helped each other up, tidied each other's clothes, and wiped the sweat from each other's foreheads to prevent them from catching a cold when going out.

Then we came to the counter. There were still some people queuing in front of us. The old lady looked around and curiously touched the old man next to her. She said, "This store has a nice decoration, the food is delicious and there are many people. We can eat here more often in the future."

"I think so."

"Humph." The old woman looked as if she saw through him, "You just want to see other people's children."

"That's right, you have wisdom."

The old man nodded and smiled. The boy was very likable, articulate, and looked quite young, which was rare.

The old woman looked at the old man with a loving expression, snorted softly, and reminded him, "Come on, we are here to take care of your parents, don't forget about the general's son."

"I haven't forgotten. I still have to investigate."

As soon as these words were spoken, the identities of the two old men became clear.

The two old people were none other than Confucius and his wife. As soon as they arrived in Yonghai County, they couldn't wait to feel the atmosphere of their hometown, so they got off the carriage at the market entrance and asked others to carry their luggage back home first.

The two of them supported each other and walked slowly, looking around at the streets that had changed a lot in the past few years. They also discussed the shops they often visited. Some of them had disappeared and other shops had appeared, while some were still there but had new owners.

With a lot of emotion in my mind, I came to the door of the noodle shop while reminiscing along the way. I remember that there was a noodle shop here in the past. Although it is still a noodle shop now, the decoration and the people are unfamiliar to me. After all, it is time for dinner, so we thought about going in to take a look. However, we were hesitant because we didn't know what malatang was.

If you just listen to the name, it's spicy and numbing, which is definitely not a good idea. Neither of them can eat it. They have been in a hurry to travel recently, and Mr. Kong's throat is already uncomfortable. If he eats this, it will add fuel to the fire, and his throat will get worse. Mrs. Kong is even worse. Her qi and blood are insufficient to begin with, and the bumpy road makes her feel tired even though she is walking slowly enough.

Originally, Mrs. Kong wanted to drag him to other places to have a light meal, but Mr. Kong was a greedy person and couldn't move when he smelled anything, so the two of them were pulling each other at the door and were discovered by the bored Zhuangzhuang. Coincidentally, he had good eyesight and ears, so he could probably guess what they were discussing, so he took the initiative to come out and welcome them to the health club.

"It's our turn now, let's pay."

Confucius saw that there was another person in front of him, so he quickly stopped the other person from nagging and urged her to take out the money.

Mrs. Kong felt the pocket where she put her money, and then felt around her waist, but she couldn't find her usual purse. Then her face suddenly became stiff, and she looked at the other person in panic, "I seem to..."

"What's wrong?" Confucius saw that she was suddenly stunned, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, "You didn't take the silver?"

Mrs. Kong nodded silently, "Yes."

Normally, she seldom goes out. If she wants to buy something, she just asks. Even if she goes out to buy something, the maid will give her money. There is no time when she needs to carry money with her. Not to mention today. She suddenly felt like it, so why would she remember to take money with her?

"And you?"

Now we can only place our hopes on Confucius.

"I...have even less."

Confucius felt a little embarrassed at this moment. A feeling of shame that he hadn't felt for decades came up again after many years.

The two big shots were very cautious at this moment, looking at each other with blushes on their faces.

Ruyi, who had just put down the silver, looked up and was about to settle the bill for the next table, but she saw two old men standing with their backs to her, motionless, so she could only gesture for them to come forward.

"Hello, you can go forward."

Confucius and his companion were hesitant and refused to move.

The people waiting in line to settle the bill at the back were all a little dissatisfied, and they were talking to each other, and the two men were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads.
