"If he has always been like this, I should raise another son."
After struggling for a long time, Bai Lan gave such an answer.
What can she do? The little idiots she raised now didn't have an affair or bullied their mother-in-law. Instead, they acted cute and cute every day. Jiang Liu, who didn't understand it at all times.
Besides, she is only "five" this year, so she has the nerve to bully a five-year-old child
"Just think about it, in the last life he was a hands-off shopkeeper, and he never cared about the three of us. Now, he holds the bamboo flowers every day, and he also does the strength work at home, and after training, he does not If he robbed you of food, if he didn't fight back, or scolded him, this might be his compensation."
While talking, Bai Lan persuaded a few more words, not only to convince herself, but also to convince the two children.
Anyway, as long as Jiang Liu doesn't restore his memory and reveal his true nature, Bai Lan will not have any revenge anymore, but she doesn't know what her children think, for fear that they will not be able to let go of the hatred in the past and impose the hatred of the previous life on the present. Jiang Liu, who had a stupid head, said so many more words to comfort the two children.
"I think so too."
Jiang Dahu sighed and nodded. It wasn't that the hatred was not deep enough, but that he was so stupid now that it hurts people.
As for Jiang Zhuhua, she is still too young to express her opinion.
The first meeting of the Big Three came to a successful conclusion, because they knew each other's experience of the same rebirth, and the relationship between the nanny and the three rose to a new level and became more and more intimate.
And Jiang Liu also noticed the subtle emotional changes of the reborn trio, and became more and more anxious to be a man, and inspired to implement the fool character to the end.

"Laner, are we really going to open a noodle shop in town?"
Thinking of the things that his daughter-in-law has been worrying about these days, Jiang Miao felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She is not a woman with big ambitions. In Jiang Miao's opinion, the money in the family can be used to buy dozens of acres of land, and then buy a farming ox, and then rent out some of these fields and cultivate them by yourself. For a part, they can live and eat without worry for a lifetime.
And the land is something that can be handed down to the family. More than 500 taels of silver is enough to buy 70 to 80 acres of medium-sized land. In the future, it will be passed on to the children and grandchildren, and it will also benefit endlessly from generation to generation.
But Bai Lan didn't think so. If she was confined to the soil all her life, her children would only be able to marry village girls and farmers. It wasn't that Bai Lan looked down on village girls and farmers, but she clearly had the ability, so why couldn't she let her children pursue a better life. Woolen cloth.
Bai Lan wanted to earn a little more money, send her son to study or practice martial arts, and also wanted her daughter to be served by a maid and grandma, so she could live the life of Miss Jiao. Obviously, these are not what dozens of acres of farmland can bring her.
Therefore, Bai Lan made a plan early in the morning. After thinking for a long time, she decided to use the four hundred taels of silver to buy a shop in the town and use it to open a noodle restaurant.
For this business, Bai Lan started running around two places as soon as she was born, and finally chose a suitable pavilion, followed by simple layout and recruitment, how could she give up because of Jiang Miao's retreat? .
"Mother knows that you have great ability, but I'm still a little afraid in my heart. They all say that it's hard to leave our homeland. Now our family is moving to the town. Some old relatives in the past are far away, and there are strangers around us. Man, I always feel uncomfortable."
The noodle restaurant business Bai Lan must be too busy alone, and the noodle restaurant is in the town, it is too inconvenient to go back and forth, and Bai Lan is still a married young daughter-in-law, Jiang Miao is not worried about letting her live alone in the town. superior. In addition, there is a little granddaughter who is waiting to be fed, so it is a foregone conclusion that the whole family moves to the town.
"Mom, it's not like we'll never come back."
Bai Lan thought about it, they could come back occasionally to stay for a few days after the business was on track. After all, there are still Jiang's ancestral house and ancestral hall in the countryside, as well as her biggest enemy Meng Jiao Niang in her previous life. In this life, the other party still has the intention to seduce her family's little fool, but it just didn't work, and revenge on the other party Bai Lan would not be soft.
It's just that now Meng Jiao Niang doesn't need her revenge and has already ruined her life. Bai Lan only needs to stare occasionally, and when she is about to turn over, she can just push people down.
"I'm still young, and I have to ask my mother to take care of the big things. At that time, I'm afraid that the business will be too good, and my mother will not be able to count the money day and night, so I don't have the heart to think about the old relatives in the countryside."
Bai Lan's words made the old lady frown.
"I don't want to think about such beautiful things as counting money day and night. I just want the business of the noodle shop to be more prosperous, and then save some money for Dahu and Zhuhua."
Because the family is rich, Jiang Miao also took his son to the county to find the best doctor and prescribe the best medicine, but these days, she drinks bitter soup every day, and her family's well-being is almost turning into a bitter gourd face. , but the effect of the drug did not show at all.
After a long time, Jiang Miao also gave up a little. Anyway, now the daughter-in-law is capable, and she has no intention of abandoning her stupid son. The son is stupid. She only needs to educate her grandchildren and make the two children filial. Their father is fine.
After he figured this out, Jiang Miao no longer hesitated. He had already bought the shops on the left and right.
The news that the Jiang family moved to the town could not be concealed, and soon some people in the village who were friends with the Jiang family knew the news.
The big house and the second house live under one roof, so the move of the third house these days can't be concealed from them.
"Mother, you are too biased."
Xu Xiaocao watched the days of the three houses flourishing after the separation, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in her heart. If I had known this earlier, it would have been better not to separate the family at the beginning.
"Why am I biased?"
Jiang Miao was busy packing, and didn't have the time to share his thoughts with his two sons who had long separated. Naturally, he didn't know the grievances in the hearts of the two families.
"My family's head and the second child are also my mother's sons, but my mother puts all her attention on the third child. Now that she has to take the third child to a good life, have you ever thought of giving us some compensation?"
Although Xu Xiaocao understood in his heart that the life of the third room was prosperous to a large extent due to the contribution of the third wife, but it was one thing to understand in his heart, and another to accept this reality.
Compared with this reality, Xu Xiaocao is more willing to accept the reason that her mother-in-law Jiang Miao has saved a lot of private houses, and she subsidizes the three houses openly after the separation.
Because if this is the case, she is qualified to ask for favors from Jiang Miao. After all, the private house in her hands was also the property of the former public. When the family split up, it should have been distributed to Jiang Hai and the three brothers, not Jiang Liu.
"Joke, I've never heard of the reason that brothers and daughters-in-law who split up have to make money to compensate the brothers."
Jiang Miao sneered, didn't they look down on her family Fusheng and wanted to get rid of the burden of Fusheng? Now that Fusheng has a prosperous life, what right do they have to be jealous.
Besides, even if she had selfishness, she didn't lose the second room to them. Could it be that she is not qualified to distribute the furniture she saved
Before Xu Xiaocao's thoughts were fully revealed, she was slammed back by Jiang Miao's words. She blushed and opened her door angrily, leaving only a humming sound.
"If you really think you are a pig, you will only hum."
Jiang Miao rolled her eyes. Anyway, now that she has a baby son and a daughter-in-law, she doesn't need to coax the eldest and the second family. Naturally, she does what she wants.
Of course, there are still smart people in the two rooms of the Jiang family, such as Liu Cui and Jianghu, who have always been good at forbearance. This couple are invisible people in the Jiang family. They are usually not taken seriously, but they are the most obvious.
Jiang Hu and Liu Cui were also very upset when they knew that the third room was going to move with their family, but they soon realized that this might be a good thing.
When the family was separated, Jianghu was only allocated two acres of land, of which one mu of land was not well located and had poor soil quality, so it was only suitable for growing crops that were easy to feed, so the output of the field was not high.
Jiang Hu and Liu Cui are both people who can endure hardship. Now that Sanfang is moving to the town, they naturally focus on the three acres of land in Sanfang. If they can lease these three acres, the family's annual income can be increased. Not a lot.
Moreover, although the two houses are also at odds, the problem is not big, and there has been no direct confrontation. Jianghu expects to lease the land from the three houses, and the rent will be much lower than the lease of the land from other landlords.
Therefore, after hearing the news that the third room was going to move, Jianghu and Liu Cui found Bai Lan and mentioned the lease of the land. Bai Lan knew that it was difficult to support a single tree. The three acres of land were leased to the Jianghu couple. Of course, Bai Lan also asked. She asked the Jianghu couple to plant the crops she designated in the three acres of land. At that time, she would receive the output from the field at the market price. This is a win-win situation. Of course, Jianghu will not object to it.
When the big room knew that the second room had taken advantage of the gap, the third room had already moved to the town, and it was too late for them to regret it.

Spring and autumn come, and six years have passed in a blink of an eye.
"Little Er, have a bowl of sangzi noodles, a bowl of Yangchun noodles, a plate of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes and a plate of fried sticks."
"We want three large intestine noodles here, one with double large intestine toppings, and another with beef noodles. By the way, do you have any leftover scallion pancakes today? If so, give us two."
The business of the North and South Noodle House is very prosperous. Not only are the noodle houses on the upper and lower floors full of people who come to eat noodles, but there are also many people at the door holding noodle bowls and gulps of noodles.
It's early autumn now, and the weather in the north has turned cooler. The noodles are steaming hot, and there is a strong aroma of bone broth cooking in the noodle shop. Passers-by can't help but go in and order a bowl of noodles.
The Nanbei Noodle House was originally opened by Bai Lan. The reason for this name is that the noodle house has a collection of noodles with North and South characteristics. Whether locals or foreign businessmen, they can taste the authentic food in the noodle house.
The cheapest noodles in the noodle shop are smooth noodles, that is, noodles without any toppings. This bowl of noodles is the most popular among ordinary civilians, and it only takes five cents to eat a bowl. But don't look at this as smooth noodles, and the taste is far beyond the ordinary noodles sold in other noodle restaurants.
The soup base of these noodles sold by Bailan is a secret soup. The soup is made with big bones, and various spices are used to enhance the flavor. Even without any toppings, the fragrance of the broth is enough to enhance the taste of the noodles. In addition, the noodles sold in the store are also kneaded by Bailan with a special ratio. The tendons are elastic and elastic. Even if they are left for a long time, they will not be completely lumped together. The combination of the noodles and the secret soup base, even if it is just a smooth surface, is not good. Just as delicious.
Moreover, the price Bai Lan set for this noodles is also very realistic. A bowl of smooth noodles is five cents. Ordinary women and children can eat enough. Even a strong worker can eat two bowls. The part-time workers who work in the big family are willing to come to the store for a little extravagance, small profits but quick turnover, the most common smooth surface is the best sold in the Bailan store.
Of course, in addition to these noodles for ordinary people and the price is not high, there are also many high-priced noodles for dignitaries in the North and South Noodle House.
For example, Baxian noodles, which are known to use precious seafood such as sea cucumber and abalone, and Baxian noodles such as pheasant, roe deer, and other mountain delicacies, are more particular about the soup base and naturally more expensive. one of the important sources of income.
In addition to noodles, the store also sells some dim sum side dishes, because the taste of dim sum is not inferior to that of Wufangzhai and other time-honored brands, and it is also very popular with diners.
As the reputation of the noodle restaurant has become more and more popular, several branches have been opened in the North and South Noodles in recent years, but the best business is the original old store, because everyone knows that the owner of the North and South Noodles has been in the old store for the longest time. Long, the noodles from the old shop are the most authentic.
There are more and more guests at the front, and the cooks and assistants in the back kitchen are naturally more and more busy.
"Fusheng, are you tired, why don't we rest for a while?"
Jiang Miao wiped his son's sweat on the side, watching him knead the noodles from morning to night, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Mom, I'm not tired."
Now Jiang Liu is also eleven years old. Because his wife and son are well educated, eleven-year-old Jiang Liu is not as arrogant as the original when he was eleven, on the contrary, he is very sensible.
He took the towel from his mother's hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then kneaded his face.
"Mother, go and see how your daughter-in-law's new sauce is doing. I want to eat fried noodles at night."
The kitchen was on fire. Jiang Liu didn't want his mother to stay in the kitchen all the time, so he persuaded the old lady to go to the backyard to find his wife who was making new sauce and let her go.
"Row."
When she heard that her son wanted to eat fried sauce noodles, the old lady hurriedly ran to the backyard, reminding her daughter-in-law not to forget to make a big pot of fried sauce noodles for Fusheng at night, so that he could eat enough.
"Xianggong wants to eat fried noodles?"
Bai Lan heard her mother-in-law's intention and responded with a smile. In fact, Jiang Liu didn't need to say that she was going to make fried noodles tonight, because she was recently researching to improve the taste of fried sauce.
"Hey, you said I did something wrong before."
Just when Bai Lan thought that Jiang Miao was about to leave after giving her instructions, Jiang Miao sat down beside her and sighed.
"I probably really don't know how to teach my children. The eldest was raised by his milk at the beginning, and he was away from me. I also felt that this son was not well raised, so I just let him go. The second child has been a gourd since he was a child. A lot of bad things happened in those years, and I think this child is in decline, and he is also indifferent to him."
Jiang Miao talked about the past, Bai Lan listened silently, and the movements of her hands slowed down a lot.
"Only the third child is cute. On the day of the full moon, there is an old passer who said that the third child is rich and noble. Because of this, I have spoiled him since I was a child, but I forgot that if I didn't teach him, it would be harmful. The eldest queen is not diligent in four aspects, and the five grains are not divided, but even so, I can't bear to educate him, I just comfort myself to marry him a virtuous and capable wife to take care of him."
Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Bai Lan's once arrogant husband-in-law came to mind. She had a light expression on her face, lowered her head and peeled the onion silently, without interrupting Jiang Miao's self-report.
"Lan'er, you should have blamed me in your heart, right?"
Jiang Miao took her daughter-in-law's hand: "I've been thinking all these years, what would Fusheng look like if he hadn't lost his mind back then?" She laughed at herself, "But I understand that at that time, Fusheng didn't matter. Whatever it becomes, I should only teach you to be patient, and I am a little glad that he broke his head, otherwise, I would really ruin your life, and ruin your life and your children's life."
In the past, Jiang Miao didn't realize this. She knew that she spoiled the third child too much, but there were many people in the village who spoiled children. Jiang Miao didn't think she did anything wrong.
It was not until his son fell stupid and his memory returned to the age of four that Jiang Miao realized that he was wrong.
It turned out that her blessing was not so arrogant and arrogant at the beginning. The reason why he became like that was because she, the mother, did not teach him well.
Now Fusheng is taught by his daughter-in-law Bai Lan, who is not only sensible and filial, but also exceptionally capable. Looking at this "eleven-year-old" son, Jiang Miao regretted the way she used to teach.
"Mother, it's all over."
Bai Lan smiled, pulled back the old lady's hand, and started the work in her hand again.
Yes, if it hadn't been for that wrestling, their lives would have been completely different. Seeing the little fool who was getting better and better, Bai Lan actually felt a little resentment in her heart, complaining that the old lady didn't teach Jiang Liu well at the beginning.
Because according to his current performance, it proves that he has the potential to be a good husband and a good father, but because of the connivance of the old lady, he lost this possibility.
In the dead of night, looking at the silly boy sleeping soundly beside him, Bai Lan would also think, if the old lady had taught her well, the tragedy of the previous world would not have happened.
However, without this, Bai Lan also understood in her heart that the old lady did not spoil her children with the purpose of spoiling others.
Therefore, when the old lady said this with her heart and lungs, and apologized to her, Bai Lan's resentment disappeared instantly.
"Yeah, it's all over, and the days are getting better and better."
Jiang Miao was relieved to see that her daughter-in-law did not blame her for this.
"The big tiger is nine years old this year, and the bamboo flower is also six years old. In a few years, we will be able to show the big tiger and the bamboo flower their marriage. The days go by so quickly."
The old lady sighed. When her son broke his head, she felt that half of the sky had collapsed, and she never thought that six years later, she would lead the life of a wealthy old lady with a maidservant, and she never thought about her own life. The son will become so capable and motivated.
"It's still very early, but mother should take good care of her body, and then she will have to hold her great-grandson."
The knot in her heart was opened, and Bai Lan smiled and talked to the old lady about the children, everything will get better and better.
