Chapter 93 092. "Zhou Yi, you are going to be a father"
"A Sichuan Restaurant" is just like the big chili pepper on its signboard, it is very popular and has a constant stream of customers.
But Lei Li did not stop there.
The chili is delicious.
When eating chili peppers, people can feel a burning sensation. This burning sensation will make the brain produce an illusion that the body is injured, and then release the body's own pain-relieving substance - endorphins.
Endorphins can make people feel euphoric, so many customers feel better the more they eat, and want to eat more.
Back and forth.
I get angry.
Although getting a sore throat is not a serious illness, it can be fatal. Some people get kidney fire, which causes hot hands and feet and irritability in the chest. Some people get liver fire, which makes them dizzy and lose their temper. Girls may also have irregular menstruation.
There is also stomach fire, lung fire, and heart fire. Internal fire involves multiple organs. If you want to reduce fire, you should not eat too much greasy and spicy Sichuan cuisine, otherwise there will be fewer customers in a "Sichuan restaurant".
So Lei Li suggested that Chen Xiangrang open a herbal tea shop, focusing on two things: emptying both the customers' wallets.
The herbal tea shop is located not far from "A Sichuan Restaurant" and its name is "A Herbal Tea House". The owner is Lei Li's old friend - Miao Fulang.
"You understand some pharmacology, are meticulous in your work, and are very particular about the quality of the herbal tea you make. You're also trustworthy and won't reveal the recipe."
Lei Li sent a message to Miao Fulang, saying, "The herbal tea shop is small and doesn't need many people. Just consider it a favor and help me look after the shop. I'll find someone else to deliver the medicine to Doctor Cao."
The next day after Miao Fulang received the letter, he brought Xiaobao to the county town to seek refuge with Lei Li.
Although Lei Li said he was helping to look after the store, he actually hired Miao Fulang as the shopkeeper and paid him a salary higher than the market price, ten taels a month.
Delivering herbs to Doctor Cao and selling mushrooms only makes this much per month on average. However, the herbs still have to be dug in the mountains, cleaned, cut into pieces, and dried in the sun, which is much harder than making herbal tea as a shopkeeper.
"This, this amount of silver is too much..."
Miao Fulang felt that he had troubled Lei Li a lot.
Thanks to him, I was able to divorce Niu Dali, and he also provided me with jobs to earn money to support my little baby. Now that I'm paying him so much monthly salary, I feel a little unworthy.
"Not much, not much."
Lei Li patted his hands and smiled, "I'm short of people right now, and you're just the right person. It doesn't matter who you give the money to, the good stuff should go to your own fields."
"But……"
Miao Fulang was still a little hesitant. "Making herbal tea isn't difficult. How about...let Xiaocao come up and help me? I've never been a shopkeeper or run a shop before. Xiaocao's husband, Niu Ershu, should be a better person than me."
"To be honest."
Lei Li spoke truthfully, "I actually thought about letting Xiaocao open this herbal tea shop, but you know Xiaocao is a person who can't sit still. He can even visit people in the village and chat with them."
"If he comes to guard this herbal tea shop, he might be able to sit still for a day or two, but he'll be bored and uncomfortable after a month or two. I don't have time to talk to him even though I'm looking at the restaurant."
"Brother Tao is still young, and he's used to playing with the two kids from Xiaocao's family. Now that he's here, there are no kids he's familiar with to play with. Brother Tao must be feeling bad."
Lei Li said, touching Xiao Bao's head. Seeing Xiao Bao give him a small sweet smile, he also smiled and continued,
"You are quiet and can sit still, unlike Xiaocao who likes to run around and watch the fun. Xiaobao doesn't have many friends in the village, so you can make some friends here."
"I picked this small shop on purpose. There are children in several nearby shops. One of them is also run by a young boy, about the same age as Xiaobao. Maybe they can get along well."
"Brother Li..."
Miao Fulang's eyes filled with tears when he heard this. He wiped his tears with his sleeves, but he was choked with sobs when he opened his mouth. "You always help me like this, I don't know how to thank you..."
"We're all from the same village, what's there to thank me for?"
Lei Li waved his hand nonchalantly, but when he saw Xiao Bao's innocent and cute face, he became shy when he touched his little head, and then he came up with another bad idea.
He picked up Xiaobao and teased him with a smile, "Xiaobao, how about Uncle Li being your daddy? From now on, Xiaobao will have three daddies to love him."
"Three daddies?"
Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and counted on his fingers, but he couldn't figure it out. "Which three daddies?"
"Look."
Lei Li pointed at Miao Fulang, then at herself, "This is your biological father. I'm Xiaobao's godfather. So, is my husband also Xiaobao's godfather?"
"Uncle Yi?"
Xiao Bao's eyes lit up when he heard Lei Li say yes, and he immediately agreed excitedly but shyly, "Then Xiao Bao will have three daddies from now on?"
"That's right."
Lei Li picked up Xiao Bao and spun him around, making him giggle. "Our Xiao Bao is now a child who has three daddies who love him!"
“Okay!”
Xiaobao giggled, his eyes sparkling, "Daddy, Xiaobao now has three daddies!"
"Brother Li..."
When Miao Fulang saw Xiaobao so happy, although he felt even more embarrassed, he no longer refused Lei Li's kindness. He smiled with tears in his eyes.
—
Lei Li was always happy when he returned.
He solved the problem of the herbal tea shop and also adopted a son. Including Zhu Shuo from Zhu Zhuer's family, he is now the "father" of two children!
"Zhou Yi!"
Lei Li went to the kitchen to pull Zhou Yi out and asked him happily, "I have two pieces of good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"What good news?"
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Did Mr. Miao agree to come to our herbal tea shop?"
"This is the first good news."
Lei Li said, "The rent for the fast food restaurant at the port has expired, and Zhang Daqiang has nothing to do. I plan to give Zhang Daqiang a chance and let him run the herbal tea shop with Miao Fulang."
"Zhang Daqiang has a good personality, is down-to-earth, hardworking, and righteous. He also truly likes Miao Fulang. If he can really win over Miao Fulang, it's his ability."
"That's fine."
Zhou Yi nodded and was also optimistic about Zhang Daqiang. "Is there another good news?"
"Another good news is——"
Lei Li deliberately leaned close to his ear and whispered softly with a smile, "You're going to be a father, the father of two children. Are you happy?"
“……?”
“…???!!!”
Zhou Yi almost crashed.
He stared blankly at the smiling Lei Li, his eyes quickly dropped to his lower abdomen, his mouth opened and closed, opened and closed again, stammering.
"You, you, you're pregnant?"
"No."
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Lei Li was trying to scare him, he was also a little unhappy when he saw him like this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't want me to get pregnant?"
"That's not the case."
Zhou Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling like he had survived a catastrophe. "It's just that I'm so busy now. If you have a child, I have to wait on you, take care of the child, and make money. I always feel like I won't live long..."
Although it is a little regrettable that she didn't get pregnant, if the baby really comes, it is better to wait until things settle down. He really can't handle it now.
He also remembered that during pregnancy, sexual desire might increase. If Lei Li was also pregnant...
I'm afraid it will be bad for Lei Li.
It would be bad for him if I didn't give it to him.
——If you don’t give it to me, Lei Li will definitely hold a grudge against you and kill you.
Although Lei Li's hits don't hurt much, her bites are really painful. I'm already covered in marks, and Lei Li is so sharp-tongued, and she has a big appetite during pregnancy...
Zhou Yi subconsciously touched his neck.
There is a tooth mark here. Lei Li has bitten it for several days in a row. It still hurts a little when I touch it.
Lei Li saw Zhou Yi's little action, and with a playful smile, he raised the corner of his lips, saying, "What's your reaction? Can I still eat you after you have a child? I'm not the kind of person who would kill the father and save the child."
“—Although I’ve thought so before.”
Zhou Yi: “???”
Get rid of the father and keep the son?
Have you thought about it??!
—
Lei Li scared Zhou Yi again and again, and then he walked away with a satisfied look on his face.
Zhou Yi was thinking about this matter the whole afternoon. In the evening, when he returned to the small courtyard he bought at the port, he couldn't help but ask Lei Li again.
"Do you really want to go and leave your son behind?"
"When did you think of it?"
"If you're not satisfied with something, just tell me and I'll change it. Why do you want to keep the son alive?"
A three-question series.
Lei Li saw Zhou Yi's serious yet slightly anxious expression and found it quite amusing. "It was when you used to ignore me."
"When did I ignore you?"
"when?"
Lei Li raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked him, "It's so hard to kiss him, and you just ignore me?"
"We weren't familiar with each other at that time..."
"You can't kiss if you don't know each other well?"
"How can you kiss someone you don't know well?"
"How can we be familiar with each other without kissing?"
"I……"
Zhou Yi couldn't argue with him, so he stopped arguing. "Is it because of this? If you had a child by then, would you really not want me anymore?"
This sounds a bit pathetic.
Lei Li thought Zhou Yi would ask him if he would kill him, but the more pitiful Zhou Yi was, the more Lei Li wanted to tease him, so he nodded deliberately and said seriously,
"Yeah, isn't that why I married you?"
"What now?"
Zhou Yi asked again, "What if we really don't have children? You're not really going to find another husband, are you?"
"Probably."
Lei Li deliberately said, "It's impossible not to have children to carry on the family line, right?"
“…”
Zhou Yi looked at him and said nothing.
For a while.
Zhou Yi still didn't say anything, but he didn't look at Lei Li. He went to take a shower with a stern face, came back with a stern face, turned off the lights with a stern face, and went to bed with a stern face.
The kind that covers oneself with the quilt and closes eyes.
Lei Li took the initiative to get close to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi moved inside. Lei Li got closer to him again. He moved inside again. He moved until he had nowhere to retreat and was blocked in a corner by Lei Li.
"You really don't want to talk to me anymore?"
“…”
"Are you really ignoring me?"
“…”
"Are you really angry?"
“…”
