In Ru Da Tao's mind, good food is rare. For example, glutinous rice balls are only available during the Lantern Festival, and mooncakes are only available during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After all, he is a lifelong frugal person.

Ru Yue smiled obediently and explained: "Dad, when people have money, they can eat whatever they want without worrying about the season. It's like new clothes. When we have money, we can wear new clothes every day. We don't have to wait until the Chinese New Year.

Yes."

Ru Datao was a little embarrassed: "Hey, that's right. Speaking of which, I haven't made new clothes in a few years, and I haven't sat in the office in a few years. Tsk, now I think about wearing new clothes to see such old colleagues tomorrow.

I'm a little flustered, and I don't know what they will say about me...and about our family, I think, they always call me a coward or something behind my back."

"Dad, there will be a discussion. But I have thought about it for you. You will get a haircut later and wear a new jacket tomorrow. Then I will also prepare some delicious food for you tomorrow, such as melon seeds, peanuts, pancakes and rice dumplings.

Yes, if Liu Weiming can come early in the morning, I will also ask him to get you some roasted sweet potatoes. You can share them all with your colleagues. There is nothing that cannot be solved by eating your food. They will be embarrassed to talk about you after eating your food.

I might even try to please you by saying, 'Hey, Lao Ru, where did you buy these things?'"

Ru Yue imitated others in calling her Lao Ru in a rough voice.

Ru Datao laughed loudly: "Then where did I buy it?"

"Just say you bought it from the small commodity market! I will give you a price list later, so that they will know that you spent money, and they will feel grateful and embarrassed to ask you to buy it again."

"Oh, my Xiaoyu is really much more capable than me. Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ru Datao happily went to wash the dishes, his steps became relaxed, and while washing the dishes, he even hummed old songs from the army decades ago.

Ru Yue is also very happy that her father can be so happy, but what's going on with Brother Chen? It's almost noon and he still hasn't come back.

Ru Yue became uneasy and always looked at the door.

Finally, Ru Datao discovered: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking at? Waiting for Zhong Chen to come back?"

Ru Yue: "Ah... I still have to wait for him to come back and sign a contract to rent a small commodity market stall with him. Now I have everything ready and I only owe Dongfeng. If something happens to him, I won't be happy in vain.

"

Ru Datao also looked outside the door:

"I think he must have been delayed by something. This young man is nice. He doesn't talk much and is very organized. Since he didn't say in advance that he wouldn't come back today, he will definitely come back. We have to cook. I'll go there later.

Meals are delivered to the old house.”

Thinking that there were still five decoration workers waiting to be fed in the old house, Ru Yue temporarily calmed down and started cooking.

But until she cooked the rice and stir-fried the vegetables, and Ru Da Tao ate first and then went to deliver the food, Zhong Chen was still nowhere to be seen.

Ru Yue felt a little restless.

Oh, if you don’t come back, nothing will happen, right?

No, no, if he doesn't come back, what will happen to her food stall?

She can point to the food stall to bring her quick cash flow!

Only when the food stall is well established can her security door industry expand, and then she can start her own business and become a young billionaire.

Therefore, Zhong Chen's safety is very important.

Yes, that's why she's worried.

Ru Yue convinced herself and went to the room to change into a purple top and jeans. She decided to go to the printing shop in Xiheqiao Lane to have a look, or have another chance encounter with Zhong Wan to see if there was any news.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhong Chen and a policeman who was almost tall walking back side by side.

She seemed to be able to hear her heart falling to the ground with a "thud".

It's such a cold day, and Zhong Chen is still wearing a thin sportswear. Isn't he cold?

Ah no, what's wrong with his face? Why does he seem to be bleeding?

Ru Yue stretched her neck and looked at the person coming back not far away. Zhong Chen looked up as if sensing something. Ru Yue had no time to retract her head, so she had to raise her hand and wave: "Brother Chen is back. You are here."

,What's the matter?"

Zhong Chen immediately lowered his eyes and reached out to touch his face. However, the policeman who came back with him looked up and saw Ru Yue, his eyes lit up: "Oh! Who is this?"

Zhong Chen quickened his pace and walked in front: "Is there anything to eat? My... friend is hungry."

Ru Yue: "Yes, yes. There's a lot of food. I'll help you put it out. Are you... okay?"

The man came closer and took a look. Not only did he have a swollen scar on his face, but there was also a split between his eyebrows covered by his bangs. It was about two centimeters long. It seemed that it had been simply treated and red lotion was applied, but

There is no bandage, so it looks a bit scary.

Oh, the sleeves of my clothes also had a big hole.

Zhong Chen turned his face to the other side and said softly: "Mind your own business."

Ru Yue still stared at him: "It's not a big deal. Didn't you agree that you would take me to the stall to get the keys and sign the contract in the afternoon? What if you said you were injured or something and couldn't go?

Are you worried?"

After Ru Yue said that, she entered the house.

Behind him, Xiao Jun kept raising his eyebrows: "Ha, ah ha! Is this your wife or a tenant? Okay!"

Zhong Chen pushed Xiao Jun away with a palm: "Stop talking nonsense! If I don't get married, where will I get a wife?"

"Hiss! She's quite beautiful. I know, the owner of the pink shirt, hahaha!" Xiao Jun didn't seem to hear Zhong Chen's words and just smiled: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you look at such a beautiful girl every day, and still...

If you say you don't want to get married every day, hey, Zhong Chen, I actually admire you a little bit."

"Get out!" Zhong Chen frowned and returned to his side, locking the door: "Old Xiao, I'm going to take a bath, you go and eat first. This is what you ordered. You can eat whatever you have."

"Don't worry, I'll help you eat it first, and I'll also help you see if it's worth it for you... to break the precept!"

"Old Xiao, you'd better stop doing whatever you want, or else don't come to me if you have any trouble in the future."

"Urgent, urgent, urgent! You were not like this before."

"..." Zhong Chen looked at him and finally closed the door with a "snap".

After he scrubbed and changed his clothes and came out, he saw Xiao Jun and Ru Yue sitting across from each other and eating, looking very familiar with each other.

Xiao Jun held the bowl in one hand and quickly picked up the dishes on the plate in front of him with the other hand:

"...delicious! These winter bamboo shoots are more delicious than meat! This fish is also delicious. Oops, how did you make such a sweet and sour taste? It's so delicious! I think I can eat them all

!Also, Comrade Xiaoru, can you pour me some more of that pearl milk tea? It’s so delicious!”

Ru Yue: "Okay. But, comrade, if you drink so much milk tea, can you still eat? Didn't you say you want to finish all these dishes?"

"How about... you pour it into a kettle for me and I take it away?"

Xiao Jun raised his eyes with a flattering look on his face.

"Okay, I'll give you the last bit." Ru Yue put down her chopsticks and prepared to move the stool and stand up.
