249 Can’t Chase Away

In the past three days, other than Xu Duoduo trying to persuade some folks into entering the entertainment industry, everyone seemed to be getting along very harmoniously.

Especially after eating the Shi family’s food, Shi Duoduo didn’t want to leave at all. He wanted to be a rice worm and eat and drink in the Shi family.

However, this was not his home. Even if he was rich, he could not stay here forever. Moreover, his family kept urging him to go back.

Xu Duoduo reluctantly bid farewell to the Shi family. Before he left, he even said repeatedly, “Sister, Mr. Rong, Auntie Xiao, you have to consider it carefully. If you’ve thought it through, you have to call me. As long as you join my company, I guarantee that your development will be smooth.”

Gu Qingming and the other two could only reply, “I’ll consider it.”

As for how long they would have to think about it, that was up to them.

After Xu Duoduo left, Gu Qingming looked at Mo Ronghua and her husband with a faint smile.

She seemed to be asking when the two of them would leave.

After three days of interaction, Gu Qingming knew that they were all kind people. They were not as cold and difficult to get along with as the reports said.

Logically speaking, they did not do anything wrong. They were even very good elders. When talking to Mo Ronghua about business, Gu Qingming benefitted a lot. She sighed inwardly. A big shot was indeed a big shot.

However, in terms of feelings, she was unwilling to live under the same roof as them.

The two elders looked at her with real love and concern. They also doted on her like she was their child.

Gu Qingming thought to herself, “Being their daughter-in-law might be blissful.”

But then she thought of something, and she couldn’t be sure.

After all, there was a child between them.

Perhaps, they were doing this for the sake of the child?

Or perhaps, their goal was to snatch the child?

In short, Gu Qingming could not casually marry herself to a man without any feelings just because of a pair of good elders or in-laws.

Therefore, Gu Qingming did not want to face Mo Ronghua for the time being.

Mo Ronghua and his wife looked at Gu Qingming’s expression and felt a little awkward.

They stared at Gu Qingming’s belly with some reluctance.

Although the child had yet to be born, they would often greet the child during these few days and felt they already had a deep relationship.

According to the expected delivery date, the child would not be born for another three months.

“Ahem,” Mo Ronghua said calmly. “Mingming, I’m on leave. I still have time to stay.”

Gu Qingming was speechless. Was the richest man in a country so thick-skinned?

Or could it be that his grandchild was too charming? Even a powerful business tycoon would have to bow down to this child.

Mrs. Mo nodded in agreement. “I accompanied my husband here. This Stoneback Village has beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains, clear water, and fresh air. I’ve felt very comfortable these past few days. Some of the leg and waist illnesses I suffered when I was young are much better now. This is indeed a good place for people to recuperate. We still want to stay here for a while.”

Mrs. Mo’s legs and waist had indeed improved a lot. It was unknown if it was because she was in a good mood or if the mountains and rivers here were nourishing.

What Mrs. Mo didn’t know was that over the past few days, they had been eating vegetables watered with spirit spring water that would improve her physique.

However, the concentration of the spiritual spring water was not high enough, so the improvement was not too obvious. Naturally, they would not discover it.

Gu Qingming was speechless when she heard Mrs. Mo’s words.

Coincidentally, Grandma walked in with a handful of fresh and green cabbage. When she saw the three people standing at the entrance of the courtyard, she asked curiously, “Why are you all standing at the door? Go into the courtyard to bask in the sun!”

It was the season when the navel oranges fell from the trees. It was also the season when winter arrived.

When the south wind was dominant, it was warm, but when it came to the north wind, it was so cold that one would shiver.

Some people said that the cold in the north was only on the surface. As long as one was dressed warmly, one would not be cold. However, the cold in the south was bone-chilling. No matter how much one wore, even if one was surrounded by a stove at home, one would still feel a cold shiver down his spine.

However, the weather was fine today. The sun was shining brightly and the south wind was blowing gently. It was really comfortable to sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun!

Mrs. Mo said, “Isn’t Little Xu going home? We’ll stand at the door to send him off.”

Then, she noticed the cabbage in her grandmother’s hand. Her eyes lit up as she smiled and said, “Auntie, is this a freshly picked… cabbage?”

Grandma glanced at the cabbage and said with a smile, “This is cabbage. I saw that you and Little Rong liked to eat cabbage, so I went to the fields to pick some.”

Whether it was Eldest Uncle or Gu Qingming, they had not told their families about Mo Ronghua’s identity.

They were afraid that if they told the family, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Mo Ronghua was still called Rong Hua in the Shi family!

Mrs. Mo said happily, “Ah, thank you so much, Auntie. My husband and I love it!”

In the past few days, what they looked forward to the most was when it was time for dinner.

Every day at mealtime, the fragrance of the food filled the room, making one’s appetite explode.

It was clearly an ordinary home-cooked dish without any delicacies, but it looked, smelled, and was even better than the dishes made by their five-star chef.

It was just an ordinary vegetable, but it had a sweet fragrance. It was even more refreshing and delicious than the imported organic vegetables they ate at home.

Grandma smiled and said, “It’s good that you like it. Let’s make garlic cabbage today.”

Mrs. Mo nodded. “Sure! No matter how you prepare it, we like it!”

At this point, she thought of something and asked, “I heard that Second Brother Shi and the others are already preparing a private restaurant. I wonder how the progress is?”

The Second Brother Shi she was talking about was Gu Qingming’s second uncle, Shi Liqiu.

After Shi Liqiu heard Gu Qingming’s suggestion, he was still very tempted to open a private restaurant.

Therefore, after a while, they began to take action.

The location of the restaurant is disputed at first.

Speaking of which, the location would not matter if the food was good.

Shi Liqiu had chosen to open a restaurant in town. As long as they were famous, there would be customers.

If the restaurant was opened in the county city, it would cost a lot of money to rent or buy a house.

However, Gu Qingming suggested that they open the restaurant in the county city.

There were many rich people in the county, and there were also many people who were willing to spend money to enjoy themselves.

With Second Aunt’s good culinary skills, she would definitely have a full house. There was no need to worry about not having customers.

After that, they went to the county city to find a suitable shop and did some preparatory work.

Mo Ronghua and his wife heard it two days ago and remembered it.

The Shi family would be relatives of the Mo family in the future. Of course, they had to pay more attention and care for them.

They thought to themselves that when the restaurant opened, they would send some congratulatory flower stands over as a token of their appreciation.

Mrs. Mo smiled and said, “Second Sister-in-law’s culinary skills are so good. The business will definitely be booming in the future!”

Grandma smiled and said, “I hope so!”
