51: Chapter 51 The Dream of the Restaurant’s Landlady_1 51: Chapter 51 The Dream of the Restaurant’s Landlady_1 “You can just do whatever you want, I don’t really care anymore.

To marry someone, I’ll need to finish next semester and take the college entrance exam.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of all the years I’ve spent in school.

If they don’t want me to go, I’ll just cause a scene…”

“Really?

They don’t want you to go to school now?

The exams are next year.

Weren’t they always proud of you?” Yan Fei looked at the girl’s gritted teeth and was upset.

“They wouldn’t go that far, would they?”

“They don’t want me to go to college even if I pass the entrance exam, they just want me to give up the idea of higher education.” Xu Xiaoyan said weakly.

“Sigh…why did you put the fishnet so high?

Just put it next to me, can’t you see I’ve finished eating?”

“I…” Yan Fei found himself speechless, seeing her still focused on eating.

He tossed the fishnet to a side, which was kind of getting in his way, and continued his work.

“Hey… Yan Xiaofei, if I marry into another family in the future, can I still come here to eat?

Your fish is really delicious.” While eating, Xu Xiaoyan started talking again.

Yan Fei: “…”

“Hey, I seem to remember that you did pretty well in your final exams, didn’t you?

You planned on continuing school, right?

Why don’t you just quit school, and we open a restaurant next year; you can be the chef and I can serve.

It will be wonderful!

We can eat like this every day…” Xu Xiaoyan didn’t care if Yan Fei responding to her or not, a girl, she could eat and talk and enjoy herself all by herself.

Yan Fei: “…”

“Did you hear me?

I bet you cheated on your exam, so why not just quit school?

Opening a restaurant is much more interesting than going to school.

After that, I can just be the lady boss and eat whatever I want every day.

I can even steal a bite or two when serving dishes, nobody will know.

We don’t even have to change the kitchen, we can just use this one here, and nobody in the dining area will see if I swipe some food…” Xu Xiaoyan started daydreaming, her eyes were virtually popping out drumsticks.

Yan Fei: “Are you trying to get me to quit school too because you can’t continue?”

“What’s the point of going to school?

Can you get into college?

If you can’t, isn’t it better to just open a restaurant earlier?

As far as I can see, it’s definitely possible.

You’re young and had been ill before, so your parents must be looking for someone older to take care of you.

It’s perfect for me.

I’m older and can take care of you, plus I’m a high school graduate and your dad is just a technical secondary school graduate, right?

Anyway, I’m more than qualified to be the lady boss of your restaurant.” Xu Xiaoyan continued her daydream of being a lady boss.

Yan Fei: “…”

“Ouch… Even big fish can have such small bones, it almost pricked me!

By the way, how much do your parents earn in a month?

Can they afford my bride price?

I guess they would want two thousand, might even dare to ask for three thousand, and surely there are additional costs, probably total five or six thousand.

Do you think your parents can afford it?”

“Don’t spit bones on the ground!

Be careful not to prick the dog!” Yan Fei drawn her attention to this.

“What’s wrong with spitting a bit on the ground?

Dogs don’t eat fish.” Xu Xiaoyan argued confidently, then realized her mistake.

“Hehe, so little dogs eat fish too!”

“…”

“You heard me, didn’t you?

Why are you silent?”

“It’s nothing.”

“What do you mean nothing?

I’m talking about my bride price here!”

“It’s not a problem.”

“Is your family that rich?

Do we have to renovate our house?

And will we still have money to open our restaurant?”

“…”

“You’re only thirteen years old, we can probably only start with opening a restaurant first, we can’t get married until you’re sixteen.

I’ll be over twenty by then, you won’t think I’m too old, right?”

Getting married at sixteen is definitely against the law, but it’s not uncommon for rural kids to marry early, everyone is used to it.

As soon as they graduate from junior high school and return home, they start preparing to have children, which is normal.

“…” Yan Fei continued with his work.

“Who would’ve thought, who would’ve thought, I, Xu Xing, Miss Xu San, am just destined to be a restaurant owner’s wife.

And here I thought I could go to university and move to a big city!

Then, maybe I’d find someone tall, handsome, and talented…

Ah…

Yan Xiaofei, how did you get so tall?

Oh my God!

You’re nearly as tall as me!

Hmm, you’re not particularly handsome, but those thick eyebrows and big eyes make you somewhat attractive…”

“Bug off!

Go sit and eat somewhere else, and stop being a bother…” This girl, talking nonsense and comparing heights with Yan Fei, is surprisingly thick-skinned.

“What attitude is that?

Do you know you’ll have to obey me at home in the future?

Oh right, I just remembered, you’re always selling rabbits in the county town.

How much money do you have now?

Hand it over to me for safekeeping!”

“…”

“Don’t play dumb, you heard me.

I’m going to look after the money from now on.

Now hand it over!”

“Can you stop causing trouble, or do you want to get splashed with hot oil?”

“I’m not afraid.

Just give me the money so I can buy some New Year’s clothes.

Who needs old clothes when they have new ones?”

“…”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to give me the money.

But when I need to spend money, you’ll have to provide for me.

Go buy me some clothes right now.

And you must also give me some pocket money to spend…

Wait, how much money do you actually have?”

“Bang bang bang bang…” Yan Fei had finished tidying up and was now chopping dumpling stuffing.

Two vegetable knives flying about, leaving afterimages.

“All right, keep your secrets.

Anyway, I’m claiming your house as mine now.

Let your parents quickly send the Bride Price to my house when they return.

After next summer vacation, I won’t live at home anymore.

You have so many rooms here for just yourself anyway.

If anyone dares to mock me, you can just hit them.

Don’t worry – if you end up beating someone, I’ll hand you the baton, and if you end up being jailed, I’ll bring you food…”

“Can’t you stop flailing your hands around while talking?

Can eating even shut you up?

Stay away – I’m holding a knife here!”

“Oh…

Yan Xiaofei, you’re already sick of me, aren’t you?

You never used to be like this!

Is it because you look down on me since I can’t get into university?

I…”

“Are your tears just tap water, ready to flow at a moment’s notice?” Yan Fei helplessly laid down his knife on the table, looking on as she switched between crying and laughing.

“Whimper whimper…” Yan Fei’s words prompted her formerly soft sobbing to grow into louder whimpers.

“I knew it.

I’m unattractive, clumsy, and can’t do chores properly.

Whimper…In the past, you only pretended to be close to me because you thought I could make it to the university.

Now that you know I can’t make it, do you all look down on me?

Yan Xiaofei, it’s not like I need to stick to you.

I can just marry someone else when worse comes to worst…whimper…”

“Are you putting on a show?” Yan Fei said, completely defeated by her melodrama.

“You continue your performance, I’ll be right back…”

“You’re the one putting on a…whimper…Yan Xiaofei…where are you going?

Okay, I’ll stop talking.

But where are you going?”

“I’m just going to the other room for a bit.

Don’t follow me, stay in the kitchen and eat!

Go on, quickly!” Seeing the maiden crying and following him while still holding her food bowl and chopsticks, Yan Fei quickly ushered her back.

After he had entered the inner room, he peeked out the window to ensure she was still in the kitchen before disappearing into the room.

Picking up the money box from the sea-cave, he quickly returned to where he was.

Walking into the kitchen and seeing Xu Xiaoyan sitting on a small stool by the firewood pile, her eyes fixated on him, he set the cashbox right in front of her on the ground, and gave a sly grin, “Open it yourself and have a look!”

“What’s this?

Ah…” Xu Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and opened the box.

The next moment, she gasped in surprise, nearly dropping both bowl and chopsticks.

“I said be careful, don’t drop the bowl!” Yan Fei exclaimed triumphantly.

Xu Xiaoyan had completely tuned out his words, her eyes riveted to the money in the box, utterly astounded.

The hundred yuan bills bearing the images of the four leaders, the fifty yuan bills depicting workers, peasants, and intellectuals, and ten and five yuan bills, all neatly stacked and arranged at the bottom of the box.

She hardly noticed the one- and two-yuan bills on the side.
