Chapter 43 Good night

  Finally under Zhao Lanhua's strong request, Shen Dalang gave Ji Zhao two taels of silver.

  Ji Zhao saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.

   On the way home, Ji Zhao kept his eyes down and remained silent, thinking about what kind of business he would do in the future to earn money.

   "Mom? What's wrong?"

  Zhao Lanhua stopped suddenly, and Ji Zhao almost missed her back.

   "A Tao, are you really Ji A Tao?"

  Facing Zhao Lanhua's suspicious eyes, Ji Zhao couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

  She nervously clenched the hand hidden in the sleeve, but her expression was calm, "Mother, of course I am Ji Atao, otherwise who else am I?"

"Good boy, you are so pitiful!" The emotion in Zhao Lanhua's eyes gradually changed, she rubbed Ji Zhao's head, and said softly, "Mother never thought that you are not only good at cooking, but also can make desserts. But why did Shiliu Village spread such words before?"

   "What words?"

   "It's all over, it doesn't matter anymore."

  Ji Zhao helped Shen Ji Bakery to sign a business with the Qin family, which shocked the Shen family.

  Especially Shen Yao.

  During dinner, Shen Dashan, who was always unsmiling, actually picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Ji Zhao's bowl.

   The flattered Ji Zhao smiled sweetly, "Thank you dad!"

   "Yes." Shen Dashan nodded with a sullen face, but his brows and eyes were a little softer than the previous few days.

  A crescent moon hangs silently over the treetops, and the hazy moonlight gently shines on the earth.

  Ji Zhao propped his hands in front of the window lattice, looking at the distant starlight.

  She narrowed her eyes, enjoying the cool breeze on her face.

   "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Shen Yao suddenly approached the window, looked at her soft and delicate side face, and asked softly.

   "I'm going to sleep." Ji Zhao came back to his senses and smiled at him.

  At that moment, Shen Yao suddenly felt in a trance.

"Good night."

   Before Shen Yao could speak again, the window was already closed.

   That witty smile has disappeared.

  The next morning, Ji Zhao got up early.

  She first went to the Earth Temple, cleaned the temple carefully, and then enshrined the cakes brought back from Shen Ji yesterday on the altar.

   "Elder-in-law of the land, Ji Zhao, a trustworthy girl, is here to visit."

  Ji Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then said with a smile, "The pastry was made by Xinnv herself, I hope the land father-in-law will not dislike it!"

  After leaving the Earth Temple, Ji Zhao went to the river again.

  During this period of time, under Shen Yao's care, Ji Chen changed a lot.

  In order to express his gratitude, Ji Zhao planned to go down to the river to catch more fish, and then cook some of Shen Yao's favorite dishes himself.

  At the beginning of the hour, a strong aroma wafted from the kitchen of the Shen family again, waking up those who were still asleep.

"Why did you get up so early?" Shen Yao came to the kitchen first, and when he caught a glimpse of the slender figure, he suddenly thought of the water tank filled with water outside the door, and couldn't help frowning, "It's a heavy job like carrying water. Then you don't have to do it."

   "It's okay, I have great strength!" Ji Zhao turned around with a smile, "I just cooked fish porridge, do you want to try it?"

   Facing her sunny little face, Shen Yao subconsciously raised his brows and nodded slightly.

   "It smells delicious." Shen Yao subconsciously caught the bowl of porridge she handed over, and blurted out.

   "It tastes better!" Ji Zhao said with a smile, "But be careful of burning it!"
