"Hey, it's coming right away, it's coming right away, Ah Yue, hurry up and bring it over to your uncle."
When Zhou Yue brought out the noodles, the middle-aged man slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang, making Zhou Yue frown deeply.
Unfortunately, his expression caught the middle-aged man's eye, who took it as a provocation. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, glared at him, and raised his chin. "What's wrong, kid? You seem pretty resentful?"
Ah Jiu, who was enjoying her noodles, was worried that Zhou Yue might lose his temper and start a fight with the big guy when she saw this scene. So she immediately pulled a walnut out of her pocket.
"Wow, Uncle, you're so strong! You must be able to crack walnuts, right? Come on, Uncle, can you crack a walnut for me?"
When Zhou Yue saw her run over, he was worried that the man might lift her up at any moment. Unexpectedly, the strong man was more responsive to gentleness than force. In particular, he had been watching Ah Jiu eat noodles and couldn't help but salivate and eat his own food. Now, seeing the cute and adorable little girl in front of him, calling him "uncle" in a sweet and clear voice, he immediately restrained his temper, changed his expression, squatted down, and smiled at Ah Jiu.
"Oh, what's so difficult about that? Look, Uncle will conjure one up for you!"
With a snap, the burly man easily cracked the walnut with a gentle squeeze. He then thoughtfully peeled it open, smiling at Ah Jiu with a smile that resembled that of the Big Bad Wolf.
Ah Jiu applauded the burly man enthusiastically, saying, "Uncle, you're great! So, Uncle, you're not angry anymore? How about we give you the walnuts? Brother, come quick, bring Uncle the noodles over!"
Under Ah Jiu's reassurance, the burly man immediately felt embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, little girl, I was just really hungry, that's why I got angry. I won't do it again."
Grandpa and Grandma Zhou also came out to apologize, which made the burly man even more embarrassed.
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. It was my fault too, I shouldn't have rushed you like that. Young man, don't take it to heart. Your sister is very perceptive, that's good. Hmm, this noodle is delicious too. Grandpa, you made really good noodles!"
And just like that, with Ah Jiu's cheerful help, a problem was resolved without anyone noticing. When Zhou Yue arrived at the kitchen, Zhou Xing couldn't help but say something to him.
"I originally thought I had a bad temper and wasn't suited to be in the front, but I didn't expect you to be almost as bad as me. This can't go on. We're going to drive away all the goodwill that Grandpa and Grandma have worked so hard to build up. Look how beautiful that little girl's smile is, and how affectionately she calls everyone 'uncle' and 'brother.' Can't you learn from her? At the very least, you could smile more, right?"
It's easy for someone standing there to talk like that. When Zhou Yue heard his older brother's words, he couldn't help but retort.
"Why don't you go outside and laugh? I'm strong too, I can help Grandpa roll out noodles!"
"You stubborn mule!" Zhou Xing was so angry at being rebuked that he smacked Zhou Yue on the forehead hard, looking at him with a disappointed expression.
After Ah Jiu finished slurping her noodles, she heard a commotion coming from the kitchen and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
These two brothers still need more practice before they can truly make a difference in the noodle shop!
It almost turned into a big fight today. This noodle shop was already on the verge of collapse because of the adopted son's mismanagement. If another customer caused trouble, we might as well just close down!
"Tang Youtian, you stingy bastard! You won't even treat me to a bowl of noodles, and you expect me to live with you? You're dreaming!"
Just as Ajiu was about to hand the dishes he had eaten to Grandma Zhou, the name 'Tang Youtian' made him freeze in shock.
This sounds like the name of a scumbag father!
“Oh, Yan Hong, look at what you’re saying. As long as you can give me a son, I’d be willing to eat out every day, let alone a bowl of noodles. Come on, I’ll take you to eat noodles.”
Ah Jiu saw a man with a sleazy appearance and a height of less than 1.7 meters walking into a noodle shop with a woman who was taller than him and dressed in a flamboyant manner. The woman was obviously illiterate and saw Grandma Zhou, who came out to greet her warmly.
"Hey, old lady, what kind of delicious noodles do you have here? Tell me about them!"
Ajiu frowned, and Zhou Yue furrowed his brows.
What a vulgar woman.
Grandma Zhou works in the service industry and knows how tough it is. You can meet all sorts of people in this line of work. I'm used to her by now, so I quickly put on a smile and went over to her.
"Our specialty is mixed mountain vegetable noodles, as well as 'hutu' noodles, braised noodles, and now that it's hot, we also have garlic noodles. They're all the same price, 2,000 yuan a bowl. Our bowls are quite big, so you're guaranteed to be full. Look, it's that kind of bowl."
The man on the other side had finished a large bowl of chewy and delicious noodles with great satisfaction and stood up.
As soon as Zhou Yue approached, he slapped two thousand yuan into his hand: "Hey kid, take a good look, it's exactly two thousand yuan."
"What? Two thousand yuan a bowl? Old woman, are you robbing me? It's so expensive!"
"Uh... well, our noodles are chewy and have a lot of wheat flour mixed in. And as you can see, it's such a big bowl. How could it be... robbery?"
Tang Youtian was clearly frightened by the price and quickly turned to pull at the woman in red.
“Yan Hong, this place is too expensive. Let’s go to another one. It costs two thousand yuan a bowl. That’s enough to buy two or three pounds of sorghum. Why are you still eating noodles? Come on, let’s go to my house. I’ll make it for you.”
Ah Jiu chuckled, but luckily she was small and her laughter wasn't loud. Zhou Yue also shielded her from the laughter, so he didn't see it. Especially since he was busy trying to persuade people, he wouldn't notice her. Instead, Zhou Yue turned and waved at her.
"Eat your fill and go home. Don't wander off!"
Ah Jiu had already clearly seen Tang Youtian's appearance. To be honest, after seeing his looks and height, she had no hope for her own image.
Before, she only had a vague outline of him. Now that she saw him in person, she was really disappointed. Not only did he have yellow teeth, but his hair was also unkempt and he had such a long beard. He looked like an old bachelor from the village. Just hearing those three words gave her a bad impression. No wonder he was the one who could live with Cao Amei. That woman was so unkempt, how good could he be?
Then look at that girl named Yan Hong. Just by looking at her clothes and the way she walks, you can tell she's not a respectable person.
Since she's not a decent person, why would she be so blind as to fall for Tang Youtian? It must be because Tang Youtian has some value to her!
Otherwise, why would she put up with her disdain and get together with Tang Youtian?
She didn't forget the disgusting, impatient look on her face when Tang Youtian tried to take her home for dinner.
However, when Tang Youtian came over to persuade her, she put on a pitiful look and forced Tang Youtian to buy her food.
That face-changing speed is no slower than a mask; he's really a genius!
I haven't heard from them in a long time, I didn't expect them to come to her door today to deliver a message.
With such a shocking scene, how could she possibly listen to Zhou Yue and go home obediently? Absolutely not!
