"Okay, I'll turn that down then." Mei's mother was a little disappointed and worried, but suddenly she thought of something and her eyes lit up. "Xiao Han, I remember there are gay men in your store, right? How are they? Are there any suitable ones?"
Mei Han didn't expect her mother to be thinking about the people around her. She felt a bit amused and helpless. "Mom, please don't match people up with random people. They are all married and have grown up children."
"Is that so?" Mei's mother's face fell as her hopes were dashed.
"Okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. When the time is right, it will happen naturally. Don't worry about it." Grandma Mei is an open-minded old lady. She is not so anxious about her granddaughter's marriage.
"Xiao Han, just follow your own ideas. I support you."
"Thank you, grandma!" Mei Han held the old lady's face and kissed her.
Mother Mei was a little jealous and snorted, "You two are from the same faction, I am the only one who is redundant."
Mei Han and Grandma Mei looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
"Little sister, hurry up, mom is jealous, go comfort her!"
After receiving the task, Mei Xiaomei rushed into her mother's arms and acted coquettishly, "Mom, my sister and grandma are from the same country, and you and I are from the same country!"
Mei Sandi also came over to join in the fun, "Mom, the second brother and I are from the same country as you. Four to two, we won!"
Mei's second brother slapped him on the back of the head, "You're rude, calling me second brother!"
"Lululu, second brother, second brother, second brother! I'm about to shout!" Mei Sandi pulled his eyelids and stuck out his tongue, made faces at him, stroked his tiger whiskers and ran away.
Mei Erdi felt a surge of evil fire rising to his head, "Don't run!"
"You'd be a fool not to run!"
The two brothers jumped up and down in the house, making a huge commotion.
Mei Han hugged her sister and watched the fun, and Mei Xiaomei giggled non-stop.
"Third brother, run! Second brother is catching up!"
"Come on, second brother! You almost caught it!"
Mei Han pinched her little face, "You little devil, you're just adding fuel to the fire!"
"Hehe——" Mei Xiaomei covered her face and laughed.
The room was too small, and Mei Sandi, who was caught in a trap, was finally caught and pinned to the ground and beaten.
"Ah—Second Brother, you're so cruel!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" Hearing the word "Second Brother", Mei Erdi sneered and hit harder.
"Grandma, save me! Save your eldest grandson!"
Grandma Mei turned her head and fed a piece of dessert into little sister Mei's mouth.
Mei Sandi looked at her mother again and said hopefully, "Mom——"
Mother Mei looked up at the sky and said, "I'll go put the meat outside to freeze."
Mei Sandi: "..."
Holding on to the last hope, he looked at Mei Han, "Sister, please ask Lao Er to let me go and save your poor brother!"
Mei Han's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of people who only remembered to eat but not to be beaten.
She stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to pack up. I'll be leaving soon."
"Okay, I'll help you." Grandma Mei took little sister Mei's hand and followed.
In an instant, everyone in the living room dispersed.
Only bursts of wailing were left.
…
Zhishanzhai.
"Shushu is here? I've reserved the same box for you."
Jian Shu held Gu Yiyi's hand and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Qing. You have something to do first, don't worry about me."
Gu Yiyi smiled sweetly at Lu Qing and called out in a long tone: "Auntie Qing——"
"Hey..." Lu Qing smiled and narrowed her eyes. She patted her little head and said, "Yi Yi is so good. Your uncle Tan made a small cake. Your aunt will bring it to you later."
Gu Yiyi's eyes lit up instantly, "Thank you, auntie!"
Jian Shu patted her little head and said, "Eat less. Be careful of toothache at night."
"Just eat a little bit!" Gu Yiyi pinched her fingers and gestured.
While they were talking, a few customers came into the store. Jian Shu saw them and said, "Sister Qing, please go ahead and do your work. I'm very familiar with this place, so you can go there by yourself."
The two of them were familiar with each other, so Lu Qing didn't bother to be polite with her. "Okay, come to me if you have any problems." After that, she called a waiter to lead the way for the mother and daughter.
Zhishanzhai is located in the courtyard where Mr. and Mrs. Tan used to live. Although it is said to be a newly opened store, it has actually been open for many years.
But it has never been open to the public and only receives old customers. Jianshu came here often when he was in Beijing.
With the increasing number of self-employed individuals, they followed the trend and applied for business licenses, moving their shops out in the open. While their scale hasn't expanded much, they still maintain a high-end approach, not accepting new customers; all customers are brought in by acquaintances.
Although he doesn't have many customers, he still makes a lot of money, and most importantly, it's relaxing. Tan Lin says he enjoys the process of meticulously preparing dishes. If he were to spend all day in the kitchen, his passion would become a job, something he'd become bored with.
Like now, I only take three or five orders every day, and I can take my family out for a walk in my spare time, which is pretty good.
Everyone has their own aspirations, so of course their choices will be different.
When they arrived at the private room, Jianshu sat down and casually flipped through the menu, then put it aside, ready to wait for everyone to arrive and order their favorite dishes.
The waiter quickly brought tea and appetizers.
After sitting in the box for a while, he thought it was about time, so he got up and went out to pick someone up.
After waiting at the door for a while, people started to arrive one after another.
"Manager!"
"It's cold outside, come in quickly."
A group of people rushed into the box. Fortunately, the box Jianshu booked was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate more than ten or twenty people.
"Come on, everyone, just order whatever you want to eat. Don't be polite." Jian Shu handed the menu to Mei Han on his right.
