Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

After the Zuo family's matter was settled, Zuo Liang felt ashamed of Zhou Chunyan and ran to the hospital every day. He was always with Xie Jianjia when she wasn't in class. Even Dong Ziyang, the slowest member of the Dong family, realized something was wrong.

Unfortunately, Xie Jianjia had to go to class and was unable to guard against Zuo Liang's pervasive behavior.

"I said Uncle Zuo, don't you plan to return to Xilu City? Your boss hasn't fired you yet?"

Xie Jianjia was peeling an apple for her mother, and looked at Zuo Liang who was pouring water diligently on the other side, but she didn't like it.

Zuo Liang smiled, put the cup half filled with hot water on the bedside table to cool, and replied: "Master took his wife to the capital to play. Knowing that I have something important to do when I return to Yunlu City, I might as well put half of it in the store." A month’s vacation.”

Xie Jianjia sighed: "Is this the kind of person who is the boss? It's so comfortable. I can go to work when I want and take vacations when I want."

"Are you comfortable?" Zuo Liang tucked Zhou Chunyan's quilt, looked at her and asked, "So do you want to carefully consider the conditions I offer?"

Zhou Chunyan looked at Zuo Liang, then at her daughter on the right, and finally shook her head at the man.

"Jiajia is too young, I'm worried."

Through the conversation between the two, Xie Jianjia was able to guess what Zuo Liang said to his mother. She didn't expect that he really wanted to drag his mother to do business in Xilu City, and thought he was just using it as a cover.

"Uncle Zuo, do you want to open your own shop? Did your boss treat you badly? Didn't you just follow him last year? Why is he willing to go out and work alone so soon?"

Zuo Liang shook his head, his face full of respect.

"My master and his wife have no children, and they treat me as their own son. I want to open a shop with my master for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, my wife has been in poor health since the beginning of this year and has fallen ill from time to time. The master realized that he and his wife are both old and have been cooking for a lifetime." I haven’t really enjoyed my life yet. The restaurant was forcibly transferred to me in the middle of the year. I can only shake a pot and a spatula, so how can I manage a restaurant?”

"Is there no waiter in the store?" Xie Jianjia wondered.

She remembered that private restaurant, with such expensive prices, there were still many people coming to eat there, and there was an endless stream.

Mentioning this issue, Zuo Liang showed a distressed expression on his face.

"There was a little girl at the front desk. I heard that she majored in management at the university. She was the distant niece of my wife's mother-in-law. This girl was dating a man she met on the computer six months ago. She went to that man's city and never came back. Master's wife I even got sick because of this incident. The waiters at the front were unattended and had a perfunctory attitude towards the guests. I had to run the front desk and the kitchen, which was really a bit too busy."

Hearing what he said, Xie Jianjia raised her head and glanced at her weak mother, then looked at Zuo Liang uncertainly.

"Then you think my mother can take care of people for you?" Xie Jianjia couldn't help but laugh out loud, "My mother can't even take care of me, how can she take care of other people?"

Although Zhou Chunyan did not agree to help Zuo Liang, she couldn't help but blush when she heard her daughter's teasing. How could she take care of others with such a soft personality? I don’t know what Zuo Liang was thinking, it was a bit unreliable.

Zuo Liang rubbed his hands, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Swallow can do it, girl, you have to believe in your mother, she is much better than you think."

Although these words were meant to praise Zhou Chunyan, Xie Jianjia felt a little uncomfortable when she heard them. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Uncle Zuo, what do you mean? That I despise my mother? I don't understand my dear." mom?"

Zuo Liang was afraid that she had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained. "No, what I mean is that both of you, mother and daughter, treat each other like children and are too cautious."

The mother and daughter agree with this point of view. They really don't want to see each other suffer any setbacks and injuries.

Zhou Chunyan spoke and touched her daughter's hand, "Jiajia, don't make things difficult for your Uncle Zuo."

After saying that, he looked at Zuo Liang again, smiling softly.

"Zuo Liang, it's not difficult to find a manager as long as you spend a little more money. I really have never done a job of managing people, and I can't go to a place as far away as Xilu City. Thank you for your kindness. You said your master would give you I have been on vacation for half a month, and I guess the days are almost there. Jiajia will be on winter vacation soon and can stay with me. My family members also come to visit from time to time. Although this incident happened because of you, it is not what you thought. After seeing the results, your two younger brothers have already entered, so there is no need for you to feel too guilty about me. You have already turned the page and just do what you need to do. Work is important."

This long paragraph of words was quite intimidating. Xie Jianjia used a knife to peel a piece of apple and stuffed it into her mouth, turning on the movie-watching mode.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Chunyan's words, the smile on Zuo Liang's face froze.

"There are still two days left. Master and Mistress haven't come back yet. I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"I haven't come back, but I will come back soon. You are the person in charge of the store and you have to pay attention to more things than others. You really don't need to waste time with me. I have been very anxious because I can't set up a stall in the past two months. What's more, Besides, since your restaurant is located in the center of the provincial capital, your losses will definitely be much greater than mine."

Zuo Liang's expression showed disapproval, "How do you call it a waste of time? After all, it's up to me that you can't set up the stall. Otherwise, I will compensate you for the loss."

Zhou Chunyan refused without thinking.

"I rejected you when you said it last time, why did you bring it up again? It's your two brothers who have to pay for this money. It has nothing to do with you. Although I don't make as much as you, it's not like two brothers. If Yue doesn’t set up a stall, he’ll starve to death, so don’t worry.”

The two of them talked to each other, and the tone was not intense, but they kept arguing. It can be imagined that the two of them must have had many such "disputes" in high school.

Xie Jianjia listened to the conversation between the two and chewed the crispy and sweet apple. The juice overflowed in her mouth. She was a little disgusted. The crispy one was not as delicious as the pink one. Neither she nor her mother liked eating crispy ones. Next time, she would switch to another place. Buy apples at the fruit store.

At Zhou Chunyan's insistence, Zuo Liang set off back to Xilu City.

He stuffed some money into Zuo Laosan's wife, and the money was used to support Zuo's father. The next time he came back to see Zuo's father would be at Zuo's father's funeral. Zuo Laosan's daughter-in-law looked at Zuo Liang with a look in her eyes. I felt deep hatred, but thinking that there were four people in my family who needed to eat, I endured the hatred and accepted the money.

Zuo Liang didn't care about her hatred at all. It was her husband's fault in the first place. It was good that he didn't anger her and her family. They were people she wouldn't have much contact with in this life, so why bother.

The night before leaving, Zuo Liang rushed to the hospital wearing the same coat as the first day, carrying a thermos box in his hand and roasted sweet potatoes in his arms.

He carefully handed the things to Zhou Chunyan and said that he had simmered them all afternoon on low heat. He also found a clay stove and roasted the sweet potatoes. He hoped she would like them.

After Zhou Chunyan had eaten and drank enough, Zuo Liang embarked on the journey back to Xilu City.
