"I still have many things to finish. I want to go back to Guaijiao Village to see if that once impoverished little village has changed."
"I want to go home and build a big house for my family, with a big room for each person, so that we don't have to squeeze into a small room. In the summer, it's so hot that people can't sleep, and in the winter, it's so cold that our toes get stiff."
"I want to buy lots of pretty clothes for my mom, and lots of delicious food for my dad and brother..."
Zhu Yi felt increasingly ashamed; Xue Shan had been implicated because of her, and she felt uneasy.
“While I was in a coma, there were several times when I felt so bad I couldn’t go on, but I could always feel people taking turns caring for me, talking to me, and encouraging me. I know you were just as anxious waiting for me to wake up. So I kept telling myself that I had to wake up, to thank you all, and to do the things I’d wanted to do for so long but hadn’t yet…”
Tears blurred her vision. Zhu Yi's emotions at this moment were like a raging storm sweeping across an already turbulent lake, carrying the force of thunder and reducing all the vegetation around her heart to ashes.
For a time, the feelings that were difficult to express in words were truly heartbreaking.
When Jinbao came to Zhuyi for food, he could hear sobbing coming from inside the house through the window. Looking through the window, he saw three little girls huddled together, crying sadly.
The dog couldn't comprehend this miraculous turn of events; all it knew was that Xue Shan, who was lying inside, was alright, so it should be a cause for celebration!
The next day, Zhu Yi went to the shop to check on the renovation results. Lin Hengjin and Wen Ji, two grown men, were indeed very efficient!
Wen Ji had been looking downcast ever since Zhu Yi entered the room, appearing unhappy.
Lin Hengjin, with keen insight, inquired about Weiwei's whereabouts.
Zhu Yi honestly said something that was essentially meaningless: "I'm at the sect!"
The dowry ignored Wen Ji's unhappy expression.
She didn't plan to play matchmaker for her friends. If two people hit it off, there was no need for Zhu Yi to introduce them. When fate brought them together, Weiwei would naturally be with whoever she liked.
At that time, it seems that she has no say in other people's business.
Wenji, usually such a rough and tough guy, suddenly became very frustrated. Zhu Yi couldn't bear to see it, so she gave Wenji a hint: "Don't you have Weiwei's jade communication device? If you need to contact her, just use the jade communication device!"
It wasn't that Zhu Yi thought Wen Ji was being slow and indecisive; how could a young man like him not even have the courage to use the Jade Spirit Token to flirt with someone?
If you don't take the initiative, someone else will snatch Vivi away!
Zhu Yi dared not say these words aloud, but could only silently complain in her heart. Perhaps this was the unique gentleness of a rough man.
"Let's set the opening date for three days from now, and we'll call it Meow Meow Eatery."
The two grown men had no objections.
Three days later, the streets of Anyuan Town were bustling with activity. Zhu Yi and Weiwei, witnessed by their old neighbors who came to support them, unveiled the red silk, revealing the signboard of Miaomiao Restaurant.
"With the shop, neighbors can come and buy whatever they want to eat anytime. They can eat in the shop or take it home as usual!"
Lin Hengjin and his well-trained staff stood at the door, beaming with joy as they greeted the guests.
On the first day of business, Zhu Yi and Weiwei were busy in the kitchen with A Xiang and three young people who had signed contracts.
"Fairy, I'm nervous..." Ah Xiang said awkwardly to Zhu Yi, "Before, the four of us barely managed to keep the mobile food cart running, and now we're being asked to manage such a big shop, we..."
Zhu Yi listened attentively, raising an eyebrow. "Didn't you memorize the recipe I taught you?"
"I've memorized it all. The fairy taught me everything." Ah Xiang answered honestly, a little flustered.
"Don't you know how to use the stove's flame control?" Zhu Yi asked again.
"I will too..."
Zhu Yi frowned, puzzled: "Then why are you nervous?"
"Well... the old neighbors all really liked your cooking, but they didn't seem to like us much."
"It's just a matter of first impressions, don't mind it, they'll get used to you!"
Zhu Yi said seriously, "From now on, I will be traveling frequently, so I will need you guys to keep things going in this shop. If you get discouraged, how can we continue doing business?"
"Think about how many places in each of our homes need to use spirit stones, and you'll know that if you grit your teeth and do it, you can always create a wide road ahead."
The firecrackers were going off noisily, the kitchen was bustling with activity, and guests were already ordering food outside.
Zhu Yi smiled gently as she looked at the menu that Weiwei had sent her. She turned on the stove and heated the oil, preparing to make a pot of golden chicken and golden small fish.
There's no need to say much to them; they'll become more and more proficient at drawing Zhu Yi's diagrams through repeated practice.
With a constant stream of diners, Zhu Yi's Meow Meow Eatery is the most unique establishment in Anyuan Town.
Lin Hengjin and Wen Ji painstakingly created a unique cat statue based on the cartoon cat drawings made by Zhu Yi, which stands at the main entrance.
