At noon, the last group of guests caught Jiang Xiaoli's eye.
Before she could speak, the other person walked over.
"Jiang Xiaoli, you're here for dinner too?"
She smiled and shook her head. "This private restaurant is run by my mom. You're welcome to come and try it."
Yu Yang nodded, then turned around and introduced the people behind him, "Dad, Mom, Xixi, this is Jiang Xiaoli."
Mrs. Yu is very well-maintained. She walked over with a smile and greeted Jiang Xiaoli, "Hehe, you must be Jiang Xiaoli! Yangyang has been talking about you a lot since he came home!"
Mr. Yu began, "I heard that Jiang is the owner of 'Jiang Li Ji' (a restaurant chain). I wish my Yangyang would choose to study business like you."
The little toddler who was following behind them came running over and hugged Jiang Xiaoli's leg, "Are you the sister who defeated the bad brother?"
Yu Yang's face immediately darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Xi Xi, come back here right now!"
With a smile on her face, Yu's mother said, "Yangyang, if you're always so fierce, aren't you just a bad older brother?"
Jiang Xiaoli squatted down and chatted with little Yu Xi, "Your name is Xi Xi, how old are you?"
The little boy raised one hand and made a four-pointing gesture, saying, "I'm three years old."
Yu Yang covered his face. "Mom, are you sure this little idiot is my real sister?"
Jiang Xiaoli was amused by the little bean's cute appearance. She pressed down one of Yu Xi's little fingers and said, "Xi Xi, this is how you make a 3."
"Xixi just turned four," said Yu's mother with a smile. "She said she's used to saying she was three."
"Haha, Xixi is so cute."
Jiang Xiaoli led the Yu family of four to the private room they had reserved. "Uncle and Aunt, please feel free to ask me if you need anything."
Dafu and Zhongyuan went to the kitchen to help Li Guizhi, while Zong Jiayu remained in the front yard.
He had just seen Jiang Xiaoli chatting with little Yu Xi, and his heart melted.
He took her hand and sat her down on the stone bench. "Little Pear, how can you be so cute?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and said, "Comrade Xiao Zong, your filter for me has become this thick?"
Zong Jiayu shook his head, "It's not a filter, it's real."
She didn't argue with her love-struck boyfriend; instead, she pinched his cheek and said, "You're cute too."
Suddenly, Zhong Yuan's voice came from behind, "You two little kids, dinner's ready! Or are you going to stay cute a little longer?"
Zong Jia gave him a disapproving look, then got up and walked into the house.
As Jiang Xiaoli walked past Zhong Yuan, she flashed her fist at him. "Brother Yuan, you better hope you're not this childish when you're in love! Hmph!"
Zhong Yuan touched his nose. "Little Pear, this isn't funny."
She swung her ponytail, ignoring everyone!
Li Guizhi came in just as the others were finishing their lunch.
Jiang Xiaoli hurried over to massage her mother's shoulders and arms. "Mom, have you eaten? All six private rooms are fully booked today. How are you feeling today? If you're tired, could you reduce the number of reservations?"
Li Guizhi waved her hand, "I ate earlier than you all! I just went to check on a few private rooms, and the guests gave me good feedback, so I'm happy! I'm not tired at all!"
Not only was she not tired, she was also full of energy!
Jiang Xiaoli told her she had reservations about not being tired, saying, "Anyway, if you feel unwell or have any problems with your medical check-up, I'll shut down your shop. You'd better be careful!"
Li Guizhi looked helplessly at the people in the room, "Look at her, I just opened for business today and she's already saying this to me!"
Zong Jia stood by his girlfriend this time, saying, "Godmother, Xiao Lizi is right. We're not short of money now. Your private restaurant is just a way for you to keep going and share your culinary skills with everyone. Your health is the most important thing!"
Dafu and Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly.
Li Guizhi felt helpless being looked after by several children, but also felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"
Li Guizhi planned to rest for a while. Before they left, Jiang Xiaoli gave special instructions to the two waitresses in the front yard.
“We usually only come over when we have free time. If there’s anything going on with my mom, just call me directly.”
As she spoke, she wrote down her phone number and handed it to the two of them.
Seeing this, Zong Jia and a few others also left their phone numbers, saying, "If you can't get through or no one answers, call us, it'll be the same!"
The two waitresses readily agreed. They already knew that the shop was opened by the owner's daughter for him, so they naturally knew who to listen to.
After leaving "Guizhi Restaurant", Zhong Yuan mysteriously dragged Dafu off to somewhere to play.
Jiang Xiaoli stared at the handsome, slender hands on the steering wheel for a moment, then asked, "Where are we going?"
Zong Jia started the car, "Let's go shopping."
"I didn't expect you to like shopping?" This was something she hadn't anticipated.
"Don't other people go shopping, eat out, and watch movies when they're in a relationship?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Alright, let's go."
They drove around aimlessly, and went into a large shopping mall whenever they saw one.
The two disagreed on what categories to browse.
Zong Jiayu wanted to accompany her to look at women's clothing.
Jiang Xiaoli wanted to accompany him to look at men's clothing.
Five seconds later, Zong Jia was defeated by his girlfriend's threatening and intimidating gaze.
Girls of all ages enjoy playing dress-up games.
When I was little, I loved dressing up my Barbie dolls; when I grew up, I loved dressing myself up; when I was in love, I loved dressing up my boyfriend; and when I had children, I loved dressing up my little ones.
Jiang Xiaoli happens to have a boyfriend with a male model's physique.
She suddenly understood the joy that Li Guizhi and Xu Feng had felt when they went shopping and bought her and Xiao Muyu clothes like crazy.
Zong Jia couldn't remember how many stores she went to or how many clothes she tried on.
His hands and arms were covered with bags.
Today's shopping date ended with the two of them spending all the cash they had on them.
Zong Jia breathed a sigh of relief as he sat in the car, then turned to look at his smiling girlfriend.
"Are you happy now?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded contentedly, "Mmm, I'm happy!"
Seeing the two of them return home carrying numerous bags, Zhong Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Did you two rob the mall today?"
Jiang Xiaoli poured a glass of water and handed it to Zong Jiayu, then gulped down a glass herself.
Where did you two go this afternoon?
Zhong Yuan patted Dafu on the shoulder, "We went to take a shower this afternoon."
Her expression turned a little strange. "Going out to take a bath in the middle of the afternoon?"
Dafu noticed her strange expression and quickly explained, "It's just a bath! The kind with a back scrub and massage all-you-can-eat! A proper one!"
Jiang Xiaoli covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "I didn't say the place you went to was illegitimate!"
Zhong Yuan pouted and complained, "Your expression, tone of voice, and actions just now all conveyed disbelief!"
She wouldn't admit it. "Did you go to a bathhouse? Where is it? Take me there next time!"
Dafu highly recommends it: "To be honest, this bathhouse is really great, unlike those old-fashioned public bathhouses! After showering, you can change your clothes and go upstairs to get a massage, eat, or even play mahjong with a group!"
