The three of them sat down, and Aunt Qiao began to tell about her experiences along the way.
It turned out that they set out with the village chief. Aunt Qiao had wanted to set off when she received the news from Xia Manni.
But her husband listens too much to the village chief.
After waiting for a long time, the water did not come but the rebels came instead.
They fled hither and thither, narrowly escaping death along the way.
It's just that they had been separated from the villagers a long time ago, and it seemed unreasonable for them to stay in the village.
No one dares to imagine what their ending will be.
When the couple finally arrived outside Jin'an City, they didn't have much money and could only choose to let Aunt Qiao's husband go into the army while she could go into the city to beg for food.
She has been here for a month and has been begging for food alone for a whole month.
No matter where she went, no one wanted her.
It was not until just now that she saw the chef recruitment notice at the door of the restaurant that she thought of coming over to give it a try.
Aunt Qiao is a careful person and she doesn't make her life too miserable when trying to make a living.
"If only I had gone with you then..."
Aunt Qiao held Xia Manni's hand and couldn't help crying softly.
Xia Manni: "Aunt Qiao, it's all in the past. It's fate that we met in Jin'an City. Why don't you stay here with us?"
Zhang Cuiling also said: "Yes, Aunt Qiao. Let's live together and wait for Uncle to come back."
Just like that, with Aunt Qiao joining, Hao Zai Lai Restaurant opened the next day.
The reason why it is not called a noodle shop is because it not only sells noodles, which can also attract more diners.
When it first opened, it relied on the support of the diners in Cuiwei Lane. Later, through word of mouth, it gradually gained its own stable customers.
Two months after Hao Zai Lai Restaurant opened, the clinic next door also opened.
It is called Ping An Medical Clinic.
"Xia Hongda, your brother is here to see you again."
Since the opening of Hao Zailai Restaurant, the Xia family, the Zhang family and Doctor Jin have all lived in Jin'an City.
Xia Hongda and others are still studying at Jinyang Academy. During their monthly breaks, they help out in restaurants and clinics.
Everything is going on the right track, but Xia Hongda has a new worry.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the college will have a test before the holiday. I don’t know how to tell my family when I get home.
"Hongwei, what's wrong?"
Xia Erwa, also known as Xia Hongwei, said with a sad face, "Brother, I beat that guy up."
Xia Hongda suddenly felt a headache. They had been studying in the academy for more than half a year. During this period, his mother was busy running the store and had not paid much attention to their studies.
He was also taught to keep an eye on his younger brothers and sisters while they were studying. He couldn't even count how many times the second oldest brother had gotten into trouble.
At the beginning, the academy would look for their mother, but every time their mother came to guard the teachers, she would beat the second son. Later, the academy was too lazy to look for Xia Manni.
Let him, as the eldest brother, solve the problems between them.
Usually he apologizes, accepts the punishment and asks for forgiveness.
Xia Hongda said coldly: "Tell me yourself, how many times has it happened?"
Xia Hongwei chuckled and said, "Brother, you can't say that. Compared to those guys, I'm pretty good, right?"
Xia Hongda rolled his eyes at him and turned to leave.
Xia Hongwei chased after him and said, "Look at the third child. He only studies abacus all day long. It's ok that he doesn't pay attention in other classes, but he always talks back to the teacher."
Xia Hongwei kept talking, and once he said it, Xia Hongda became even angrier.
"I originally thought you were the most mischievous child in our family, but I didn't expect that the third child, who is only six years old, has already learned to skip school..."
"That's right, big brother. Unfortunately, the third kid is so eloquent that even the teacher can't do anything with him."
"Don't bother talking to others, just talk about your own problems. This has happened countless times."
Xia Hongda sat on the stone bench in the academy. He knew that the second brother must have come to him for something else.
"I'm not talking about anyone else. I mean that except for you, everyone in our family feels guilty towards our parents for your pursuit of education. Just look at Si Ni'er, for example. She spends all day in the library and never speaks."
"Then why don't you say that Zhao Yingyi is more obedient and sensible than you?"
"Brother, you didn't see it. That boy Yingyi, besides following Si Ni'er, always follows me. He doesn't even know as many words as I do."
Xia Hongda held his forehead. This kind of conversation happened almost every few days.
"So what are you thinking? You're always fighting, and no one can beat you. Business at the restaurant is very busy right now, can you please give your mother some peace of mind?"
"Brother, I came to you just to tell you this."
Xia Hongda smelled a conspiracy, so he stopped talking and waited to see what the second brother was up to.
"Brother, you should know that I'm not cut out for studying. I'm sure I'll be ranked last in the exam this New Year. To keep Mom from getting upset, I'm going to stop studying."
“Pah.”
Xia Hongwei felt a little pain in his back, but he was used to having thick skin and flesh, so the pain was just like being hit by a willow branch.
"Brother, does it hurt?"
Xia Hongda snorted coldly, secretly put his hand into his sleeve and rubbed his palm with his thumb.
This guy's dick is getting stronger and stronger. It hurts for a long time when I hit him.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you doing if you don't study?"
"Mom told me before that she wanted me to go to a martial arts school. I want to learn martial arts."
Xia Hongda looked at Xia Hongwei. He had always known that the second brother wanted to learn martial arts, not to mention that he had studied with Wu Dayong for a period of time before.
"Then let me ask you something. You are eight years old now, and you will be nine after the New Year. If you go to a martial arts school to learn martial arts, what do you want to do in the future?"
When Xia Hongwei heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Brother, you are so well-read and the teacher always says you will pass the exam, but you don't even know this? If I learn martial arts, at the very least, I can open a martial arts school or an escort agency. At the most, I can join the army or become a guard."
As he spoke, his high voice suddenly lowered, and he continued: "No matter what I do, I will definitely be able to protect Mom and you when I grow up."
Xia Hongwei waited for a long time before Xia Hongda spoke: "If you can do it, it's not impossible..."
"Brother, I don't want to read anymore!"
A sudden voice broke in. It turned out to be Xia Hongji, the third child of the Xia family.
"Hongji, what are you doing?"
"Brother, I heard everything you said just now. Why should Second Brother be able to do that?"
"You? At least your second brother still wants to defend the country, what about you?"
"I'm going to earn money. What can I do without money? I earn money for you to start a family and build a career... Ouch, it hurts..."
Xia Hongwei twisted Xia Hongji's ear. People who practice martial arts are naturally strong...
"Big brother, please tell my second brother to stop..."
"We'll talk about it when you turn fifteen and fail the exam. You promised your second brother that you would let go when he comes back."
The third brother: “…”
Didn’t he come here to peek at his second brother being scolded by his eldest brother? How did it turn out like this?
At a corner that the three of them couldn't see, two small figures were also watching quietly.
"Si Ni'er, let's go back. It's too late."
