After Li Mu fed Ruoruo, he took Ruoruo out.
I have been very busy these days and have not had time to look for Zhou Qiang. Last time I asked him to come over for dinner, he refused.
Li Mu always felt a little uneasy.
So he took Ruoruo to Zhou Lifang's barber shop. Seeing that Zhou Lifang was the only one busy in the shop, he walked in and asked:
"Lifang, where is Qiangzi?"
Zhou Lifang, who was still busy, looked up and saw Li Mu holding Ruoruo's hand. She felt a little unhappy, but she still said patiently:
"I'm not feeling well. I'm resting at home."
"By the way, can you please not let Qiangzi go to the countryside after your grilled fish restaurant is renovated? Otherwise, who will take care of me?"
Li Mu, who had never intended to let Zhou Qiang return to the countryside from the beginning, felt a little unhappy when he heard Zhou Lifang say that.
But I didn't care too much about it.
...
...
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lifang went even further and said, "Can you let Qiangzi run the grilled fish shop? Can you teach him, Brother Mu?"
Li Mu's eyes suddenly turned unfriendly as he stared at Zhou Lifang and said, "Qiang Zi and I will discuss this matter. You don't need to intervene. Do you understand?"
"Why would a woman like you interfere in our men's affairs?"
Zhou Lifang didn't think it was wrong to hear Li Mu say that, and she argued, "You also asked your wife to help, so why can't I help my family?"
Li Mu stared at Zhou Lifang gloomily, his fists clenched tightly.
But because Zhou Lifang was pregnant and Ruoruo was still around, Li Mu would really have taken action.
Li Mu took a long breath and calmed down his emotions. He ignored Zhou Lifang's words and walked out directly taking Ruoruo's hand.
On the way to Zhou Lifang's house, Li Mu squatted down and said to Ruoruo: "Ruoruo, Uncle Qiangzi is sick, shall we go and see him together?"
Ruoruo nodded without hesitation, and wanted to pull Li Mu's clothes and walk towards the fruit stall nearby.
Li Mu looked at his daughter's reaction, smiled and touched her head, thinking that Ruoruo was very sensible.
He is a little smart kid who knows how to buy things when visiting at a very young age.
But Li Mu still bought a lot of fruits for Zhou Qiang according to Ruoruo's wishes.
Li Mu walked to Zhou Lifang's door, knocked, and waited for a long time but no one came to open the door. He felt a little strange.
So he looked inside through the window, but didn't see Zhou Qiang, so he could only walk back holding Ruoruo's hand.
Halfway through the journey, Zhou Qiang was coughing while carrying fresh vegetables towards home.
Li Mu hurriedly shouted to Zhou Qiang: "Qiangzi, your cold is so severe, why are you running around?"
Zhou Qiang, who was already feeling dizzy due to a cold, looked up and saw Li Mu holding Ruoruo at the entrance of the alley. He said softly:
"Why are you here? Ahem...don't mention it. I don't know what happened a few days ago. I caught a cold. Lifang hasn't come back to sleep recently."
"I can only buy some vegetables and cook porridge myself...cough cough..."
Seeing Zhou Qiang like this, Li Mu felt a little distressed. He walked up to him, took the things in Zhou Qiang's hand, and walked forward.
Zhou Qiang followed behind, dragging his heavy body.
After opening the door, Zhou Qiang immediately sat on the sofa and relaxed for a long time. Li Mu walked directly into the kitchen with the dishes and cooked porridge for Zhou Qiang.
He asked casually, "Didn't your Lifang come back to take care of you?"
Zhou Qiang shook his head with a pale face and said, "Don't mention it. Knowing that I had a cold, she didn't come back these few days. She slept in the barber shop, saying that she was afraid of catching a cold."
Li Mu heard what Zhou Qiang said and didn't say much.
Seeing Ruoruo not far away, Zhou Qiang hurriedly took out a mask from the cabinet and put it on, fearing that he might infect Ruoruo.
When the porridge was ready and served to Zhou Qiang, he had already fallen asleep leaning against the sofa.
Li Mu helped Zhou Qiang to the bed to rest, left a note and prepared to go home.
When they came out of Zhou Qiang's house, it was almost time for lunch. In order to go home quickly to make chicken soup, Li Mu bought some candied haws for Ruoruo to give her away.
Ruoruo, who had already started crying, looked up at Li Mu while eating and asked:
"Dad, Uncle Qiangzi is feeling very uncomfortable, can you please bring him food every day? It's so pitiful that he has no food when he is sick."
Li Mu was a little surprised to hear Ruoruo's words. He didn't expect that Ruoruo knew so much at such a young age.
Feeling very relieved, he raised his hand and touched Ruoruo's head.
After the two returned home, Li Mu prepared to stew a nourishing ginseng chicken soup and send a portion to Qiangzi as well.
Lin Wan played with Ruoruo and from time to time would check in the kitchen to see if Li Mu needed help or something.
As a result, they were all driven out of the kitchen by Li Mu, without giving Lin Wan any chance to perform.
Normally it only takes Li Mu an hour to cook, but today, in order to make more delicious food, it took him a full two hours.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Li Mu felt very proud.
When he was about to go out to pick up his father-in-law for dinner, he was stopped by Lin Wan.
When Li Mu was about to finish cooking, Lin Wan called the guesthouse where Lin's father was staying and asked him to come home for dinner.
After hearing what his wife said, Li Mu hurried to the door to greet Lin's father.
When Father Lin arrived at the door of Lin Wan's house, he saw Li Mu looking around at the door. He walked forward curiously and wanted to ask what was going on.
Then Li Mu shouted enthusiastically: "Dad, come quickly, I've prepared some ginseng and black chicken soup for you, you can have some nourishment later."
As he spoke, he welcomed Lin's father home.
Father Lin felt a little puzzled. Why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic? He was not so enthusiastic when he was trying to please him.
At the dinner table, Li Mu was also actively joining in the fun for his father-in-law, and his words were full of gratitude to Lin's father, which made Lin's father feel uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright, eat it yourself! Don't give me any more. I can't finish it."
Father Lin put his hand up to cover his bowl, fearing that Li Mu would keep putting food into the bowl.
Li Mu scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Father Lin really helped Li Mu a lot this time. Otherwise, if the state-owned restaurant could not continue to supply goods, he would have to pay compensation.
But when I signed the contract, I didn't expect the bass cycle to be so long.
"Dad, I don't have that much money for the loan right now. Can I pay a part of it as a deposit?" Li Mu said a little embarrassedly.
Father Lin knew from the beginning that Li Mu didn't have much money. In order to be with him, Lin Wan had already handed the money to Father Lin.
This time, the goods were all obtained by Lin's father through his own connections, so there was no need to pay for them immediately.
