Love That Extends Life

Chapter 182 Meeting an acquaintance in a small restaurant

"Brother, brother, you two have to find a sister-in-law for me!" Wu Yanzi looked at Li Mingliang and Hou Jie and started to make fun of them.

"Haha, it's not easy for your second brother and I to have enough food to eat, so how could we have the time to talk about women?" Li Mingliang replied with a smile.

"Hehe, big brother is right. No woman would be willing to marry someone like me and you!" Hou Jie followed.

"You can't say that. Big brother and second brother, you are such good people. You will definitely meet the right person." Wu Yanzi retorted.

"Forget it. Even if there is a girl willing to marry us, she will suffer with us! So? Let's talk about this later." Li Mingliang smiled bitterly and then shook his head.

At this time, a woman with a little girl walked into the restaurant and sat at the table next to Wu Yanzi.

Since there were guests eating next door, the people at the two tables looked at each other.

However, at this moment, the woman's eyes met with Li Mingliang's, and both of them recognized each other.

"It's you, big brother!" The woman at the next table recognized Li Mingliang and nodded to greet him.

"Ah, Xiaoli!" Li Mingliang called out the other person's name at the same time.

At this time, the woman nodded to Hou Jie again. Wu Yanzi found it interesting and she looked at the three of them with a smile.

Wu Yanzi noticed that Li Mingliang's eyes looked a little strange, and the woman blushed after seeing Li Mingliang. She understood something. She just said that the two brothers should find a sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that a sister-in-law would be delivered to her door.

Wu Yanzi couldn't help laughing when she thought about it. At this time, she smiled and said politely to the woman next to her: "Sister, since you know each other, why don't you come over and eat together!"

Before the woman could refute, Wu Yanzi immediately called out to the waitress who came over, "Waiter, their dishes are mine."

The woman named Xiaoli ordered a tomato scrambled egg and two steamed buns. Wu Yanzi immediately added more dishes, "Waiter, wait, I want to order another dish!"

Wu Yanzi immediately moved in front of the little girl, and then said with a smile: "Little friend, what do you want to eat?"

After hearing what Wu Yanzi said, the little girl said, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork!"

"Okay! Waitress, please give me another serving of sweet and sour pork!" Wu Yanzi said to the waitress.

"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready in a moment!" said the waitress and walked away with the menu.

"Momo, mom has already ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes, why do you want sweet and sour pork too?" Xiaoli said to her daughter dissatisfiedly.

"Mom, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. I want to eat sweet and sour pork." The little girl named Momo answered aggrievedly and lowered her head.

"Come here, Momo, what do you want to eat? Auntie will buy it for you!" Wu Yanzi touched Momo's head and said with concern.

At Wu Yanzi's enthusiastic invitation, Xiaoli and her daughter sat down quietly.

At this time, Hou Jie touched Li Mingliang's arm with his arm, and then smiled secretly.

Seeing Xiaoli and her daughter coming over to eat together, Li Mingliang's heart suddenly blossomed with joy. He pushed the dishes on the table towards Momo and said, "Momo, come and eat first!"

He picked up the chopsticks silently, picked up the meat and started eating.

Seeing Momo start to eat, several people watched her eat. At this time, Momo did not forget to let her mother eat, "Mom, you eat too."

"Haha, Mom, wait a moment!" Xiaoli looked at her daughter and smiled silently.

After a while, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and sweet and sour pork were served, and Xiaoli started eating with everyone else.

While eating and chatting, Wu Yanzi learned that Xiaoli's name was Guo Yunli, and how she knew Li Mingliang. It turned out that after her husband died in a mining accident, Guo Yunli lived alone with her daughter. During the day, Guo Yunli was busy working at the chicken farm, and she went to the Confucius Temple Night Market to set up a stall at night. Since she was new to setting up a stall, she couldn't find a suitable position at all. She was scolded by people all the time. Later, when she got close to Li Mingliang, Li Mingliang gave her half of his space.

Guo Yunli was very grateful to Li Mingliang, and the two of them got to know each other. Later, Li Mingliang moved his stall to Wu Yanzi's location, so he gave his stall to Guo Yunli, and now they both had their own stalls.

The reason why Li Mingliang's mentality changed was that he was influenced by Wu Yanzi after getting along with her. As the saying goes, "A red flower becomes red, while a black flower becomes black." It was Wu Yanzi's kindness that subtly changed the minds of Li Mingliang and Hou Jie. At this time, Li Mingliang felt that it was easy to be a good person.

Momo came to the night market with her mother for the first time today, and her grandmother also came with her. When it was time for dinner, Momo insisted on going out to eat, so Guo Yunli had no choice but to take Momo to a small restaurant on the road to the night market. She planned to have dinner with Momo and then bring some food back for her mother.

Momo has a cheerful personality and looks very lively and cute, so everyone likes her.

Every time Li Mingliang's eyes met Guo Yunli's, he looked at the wine glass embarrassedly, which made Wu Yanzi laugh secretly.

It's different with Wu Yanzi here, otherwise Li Mingliang would not know how to communicate with Guo Yunli. So with Wu Yanzi's involvement, Li Mingliang would say a few words to Guo Yunli from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoli, Brother Li is a very nice person. I used to sell things on the street at the night market, and I got a lot of help from Brother Li, so I became friends with the loyal Brother Li." Wu Yanzi said with emotion.

"Oh, sister, it turns out that you used to set up a stall here! Hehe, I just came here and didn't expect to meet you. You are all good people." Guo Yunli said with a smile.

"Sister Xiaoli, if you need help in the future, just look for Brother Li. He will be there at any time." Wu Yanzi joked.

Guo Yunli's face suddenly turned red, "Well, I know..."

"Come here! Momo, I'll give it all to you." Hou Jie placed their carp in front of Momo and reminded her, "Be careful when eating, carp has bones."

"Well, I know carp has bones. My grandma made carp for me to eat." Momo answered cutely.

"Ah, Sister Yan Zi, where do you work?" Guo Yunli suddenly asked.

"Sister Xiaoli, I am currently working at the Kangle Health Care Service Center under the Nanshi Veteran Cadre Health Care Committee. I just got there too."

"Well, it seems that my sister is an educated person. If you are educated, you can get a good job." Guo Yunli said with a smile.

"In fact, my life is not very satisfactory, but I cannot retreat in the face of the ups and downs of life. I believe that as long as we work hard, we can change our destiny." Wu Yanzi said emotionally.

"Yes... Life is not always smooth sailing. When facing a difficult life, we just need to be strong and make ourselves stronger so that we can hold on." Guo Yunli followed with emotion.

"Sister Xiaoli, take it slow. When you meet the right person in the future, you will have someone to rely on." Wu Yanzi said, looking at Xiaoli, and then at Li Mingliang.

At this time, Guo Yunli and Li Mingliang looked at each other, and then they quickly looked away.
