Since they were classmates, the Zhao family arranged for Situ Ming to stay in the best room, which was elegant, unique, and had excellent natural light.
Zhao Xiaoyue went home with her grandmother. As soon as they got home, the old lady stared at Zhao Xiaoyue with a knowing look on her face.
"This student Situ...is your friend?"
The old lady wasn't sure. Looking at her granddaughter's listless appearance, it was nothing like the way she had treated foreigners before, with that familiarity, like they were buddies.
They seem eager to drive the other party away.
Moreover, Xiao Zhe, that clever little devil, was clearly as happy as if he had found two hundred yuan when he saw Situ.
There's something strange about it.
Zhao Xiaoyue mumbled an "Mmm," then threw herself onto the soft blankets and began to snore.
As December approached, it was the busiest time for restaurants and inns. Zhao Zhe went to the inn early in the morning to help out, while everyone else, except Zhao Xiaoyue, went to the restaurant and hot pot restaurant to keep an eye on things and prevent any mistakes in the chaos.
Even Situ Ming was busy running around with the old lady early in the morning.
Zhao Zhe had planned to go home that evening, but he happened to run into Situ Ming coming downstairs to buy dinner.
With his face covered, Zhao Zhe decided to stay and investigate.
The room was heated, and a red carpet covered the entire room. The beds were custom-made Simmons mattresses, and the guest room and bedroom were separated, which was very thoughtful.
On the American country-style solid wood sofa, Zhao Zhe sat on one side, while Situ Ming sat opposite him, looking relaxed and languid.
"Brother-in-law, you gave all the money to my sister. What are you going to use to pay for the inn stay?"
Zhao Zhe asked curiously.
Situ Ming's gaze was unfocused. "There's always a way out!"
Zhao Zhe gave a thumbs up, "I can only say brother-in-law, you're awesome!"
Zhao Zhe was, after all, just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and his maturity was incomparable to that of someone as shrewd as Situ Ming.
"Brother-in-law, I'm curious, what is it about my sister that attracted you?"
Zhao Zhe was genuinely curious. Her sister was fierce, irritable, and short-tempered. If she wasn't careful, she would be subjected to domestic violence. Tsk tsk, why would such a handsome guy be so foolish?
Situ Ming glanced at the little brat opposite him. If it weren't for the fact that he was his uncle, he wouldn't have bothered with him.
Situ Ming looked at his adorably silly brother-in-law and leaned back on the sofa. "What can I do? He's just so perfect for me."
Oh my god!
"So, what are your next steps?"
Zhao Zhe winked and asked the person opposite him, "It's obvious that his sister is ignoring her brother-in-law now!"
Situ Ming raised his eyelids and said, "Children should not pry into adults' affairs. They should focus on their studies and make progress every day. That is the right path for them."
“I don’t like hearing that,” Zhao Zhe retorted. “I’m already thirteen this year. If this were ancient times, I’d already have a wife!”
"Oh!"
In a flash, Situ Ming came up with a plan: "Brother-in-law, tell me your sister's weakness, and your New Year's money will be doubled!"
Really?
Zhao Zhe nearly fell off the sofa in excitement, but after calming down, he asked, "How much?"
“This number!” Situ Ming held up five fingers. “How about that?”
Zhao Zhe was dumbfounded. "Five hundred! That's way too much!"
"It's five thousand, to be paid out at the end of the year."
How extravagant!
That's incredibly extravagant!
If you miss out on a brother-in-law as bold and generous as him, you might not find another one like him.
catch!
We must seize this opportunity!
"Ahem," Zhao Zhe said, feigning modesty, "You're exaggerating, brother-in-law. Well, my sister is a tough girl, and her biggest weakness is my parents and grandma."
Situ Ming sat up straight. "What do you mean?"
Zhao Zhe stroked his chin. "Hmm... how about this, you think of a way to win over my grandma first. My sister listens to my grandma the most, no, I should say my whole family listens to my grandma."
I see...
So, early in the morning, Situ Ming appeared right on time at the entrance of the [Taste] restaurant in Lufeng Town.
The waiter opened the store door and saw a handsome young man in casual clothes loitering around the entrance.
The waiter's eyes lit up instantly—what a handsome guy!
"Handsome sir, is there anything you need?" The shop assistant stared intently at Situ Ming.
"I heard this is a private kitchen restaurant. Can we eat now?"
The shop assistant almost collapsed in shock. My goodness, that voice is so beautiful!
It's like spider silk, it really tickles you.
"Yes, of course! Please come in, please come in!"
"Grandma, we have a guest!"
Then they followed Situ Ming inside, even knocking over a bench in the process.
Clang—
Old Mrs. Li immediately came out of the kitchen, hands on her hips, and yelled, "Fatty Er Ya! You brain-dead idiot, can't you watch where you're going?! You broke the stool, I'll deduct it from your wages! Let's see how you explain this to your old mother when you get home!"
The others were used to it; she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart—that perfectly described this old woman.
You should at least punish them once! Every time you handle things gently, you even pack up a lot of food at the end, saying that Fatty Er Ya raises pigs at home and uses leftovers as pig feed.
Ha! Such a big whole roasted chicken, such a big whole braised fish, and you're telling me they're for feeding pigs?
Although everyone benefited from the restaurant, the old lady only liked Fatty Er Ya.
Every now and then, they would secretly tear off a chicken leg for Fatty Er Ya. This made the other waiters incredibly envious.
Someone jumped out to object, but the old lady just told them to take their wages and leave. These days, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged waiters are everywhere.
Upon hearing Grandma Li's shout, Fatty Er Ya immediately stood up straight. "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'll pick up the stool right away."
The chubby boy picked up the stool and looked at Grandma Li, who had walked up to him. "Alright, Grandma, hee hee!"
