Lu Feng
This time when returning to Beijing, Li Shi brought his dowry back with him. Although their family was not wealthy in Lingnan, they were still able to get by.
Now that Li Shi has returned to Beijing, he is unwilling to rely solely on his mother's income as a teacher to support the whole family. Moreover, Mi Jian (our ML) will gradually grow up, and as a father, he wants to prepare a dowry for his child.
After discussing this matter with Zhang Shi, although the elderly couple said that they are still young and can support him and Mijian, they do not oppose their son's idea. They don't care about making more or less money, but mainly want to find something for Li Shi to do.
Before coming to Beijing, Li Shi's heart was mostly focused on Xu Mu, but he still couldn't let go of Xu Mu's mother in his heart. Although he didn't cry all day long, he often woke up in the middle of the night and secretly wiped away his tears.
But this time, Xu Mu had a serious illness, which completely placed Li Shi's heart on him. He was determined to make their lives better and save a dowry for Mi Jian.
Seeing this change in Li Shi, Xu Mu was extremely happy in his heart.
Li Shi used his dowry money to rent a small storefront on West Street and opened a pastry shop called "Sweet Flavors," symbolizing the various flavors of life. As long as you are willing, life can always be sweet.
As the New Year approaches, every household will visit relatives and friends, and it is natural to bring along pastry gifts.
Xu Mu seized the opportunity and cleverly offered to help out at the shop.
Li Shi looked down and saw Xu Mu looking up with shining eyes, full of anticipation. In the end, he couldn't bear to refuse. Thinking that his son was not a mischievous child, he took him with her the next day.
The two of them still live with Zhang Shi and the elderly couple in the same courtyard. The distance to "Sweet Flavors" is not far, but for business, they naturally have to get up early. When Li Shi leaves, it is still dark outside.
On such a cold day, Xu Mu couldn't bear to let him get up so early, so he asked him to wait until it was light before following Zhang Shi.
Xu Mu obediently made a sound while lying in bed, pretending to enjoy the warmth of the blanket, and squinted his eyes, preparing to sleep a little longer.
After Li Shi tucked him in and left, as soon as he went out, Xu Mu kicked off the blanket and got up from the bed.
He kept thinking about how to talk to Lu Feng today without scaring her.
Xu Mu got off the bed, put on his shoes, and ran to the wardrobe. He opened the cabinet door and picked out his clothes.
Xu Mu held the clothes in front of himself and gestured. Finally, he chose a red jacket that was more pleasing for his age.
After choosing his clothes, Xu Mu sat on the bed, touching the clothes in his arms and thinking.
Starting over, Lu Feng definitely wouldn't recognize him. How can he make her remember him?
After much thought, he couldn't come up with a good idea. When Zhang Shi knocked on the door and called him to get up, Xu Mu gave up and put on his clothes to go out.
Seeing Xu Mu come out, Zhang Shi lovingly took his hand and went to wash up and eat.
The red jacket on Xu Mu made his fair little face look even more tender and spirited. Since he was a beautiful child from a young age, Zhang Shi was particularly delighted and smiled, saying, "Later, we'll go to your father's place. You just sit in the shop and don't run around. The people who live on West Street are all high-ranking officials and wealthy people. Their children are also more mischievous. Don't let them bully you just because you're a new face."
