Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 229: 093: Stunning! _1

Mo Qishen quickly arrived at Ni Yang’s Noodle Restaurant.

When he got there, it was lunchtime and the restaurant was bustling with customers.

Mo left his bicycle outside and went in. He naturally started to help Ni Yang with serving noodles and taking orders. They didn’t exchange a word, yet their coordination was impeccable.

Many regular customers had already recognized Mo, “Xiaomo, you’re helping at the restaurant again today?’1

Mo smiled and said, “Yes, Aunt Yin, are you having your usual Pickled Vegetable Noodles with a cup of milk tea today?”

Aunt Yin nodded happily, “Exactly.”

“Xiaomo, I’ll have a bowl of noodles and a cup of milk tea too.”

“Alright.”

For a while, Mo’s popularity was nearly on par with Ni Yang’s.

“Xiaomo,” a middle-aged woman wearing golden earrings said, “Can auntie ask you a question?”

Mo replied politely, “Of course.”

The middle-aged woman continued, “Xiaomo, have you settled down yet?”

“Not yet.”

The middle-aged woman further inquired, “Has your family introduced you to any potential partners yet?”

Mo replied, “No.”

“No?” The middle-aged woman smiled, “How about Auntie introduces you to someone? My niece is extraordinarily beautiful…”

In this era, where exorbitant dowries weren’t customary yet, any good-looking chap, even if he came from a poor family, won’t have to worry about finding a bride.

Moreover, Mo Qishen was not only handsome but was also well-dressed and rode a bicycle. Among the common folks, he was quite a catch!

Not just the middle-aged woman having her meal, many people had had their eyes on Mo Qishen. But they hadn’t found the opportunity to voice their intentions.

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman’s question, the others in the restaurant silently pricked up their ears.

Mo tactfully turned her down, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Auntie, but I’m already in love with someone.”

He’s in love with someone already?

Disappointment flickered through the woman’s eyes, but she didn’t give up, “Then, can you tell me the type of person you like? I know many pretty girls.”

Even if her niece wasn’t suitable, she also had nieces from her in-laws, her own daughters…

She believed that, sooner or later, she’d find someone that Mo would approve of.

Mo rubbed his nose without directly replying to the woman. As he saw Ni Yang carrying a tray of noodles from the corner of his eye, he immediately ran over to take it from her. “Yangyang, leave this to me. You go and take Auntie’s order.”

His actions spoke for themselves.

The middle-aged woman wasn’t a fool. Seeing Mo behaving this way, how could she not understand what was going on?

Ni Yang?

Upon seeing Ni Yang, the woman deflated.

No matter how beautiful her daughters, nieces, or nieces from her in-law’s side were, none could compare to Ni Yang’s beauty!

However, when she looked at them both- with Mo’s handsome look and Ni Yang’s beauty – they were rather fitting for each other.

Seeing this, the others also dropped their ideas of introducing Mo to potential brides.

After a hectic morning, it was time for lunch. As always, Ni Yang cooked two big pots of luxury version of Pickled Fish Noodles. She combined four small tables in the restaurant into one big table and invited the construction workers from next door to join them.

The luxury version of Pickled Fish Noodles was filled with ingredients – fish, beef, and green vegetables. It was utterly satisfying with every bite.

In the countryside, most men drank alcohol. So Ni Yang prepared two bottles of liquor and three side dishes to go along with it.

As for those who didn’t drink alcohol, they could have milk tea.

Ni Yang brought the alcohol glasses, “Brother Mo, are you drinking?”

Wang Tieniu walked in, laughing, “Yangyang, who are you kidding? How many men don’t drink?”

“Exactly!” somebody chimed in from the crowd, “How can you even call yourself a man if you can’t drink?”

The rest joined in the banter.

These men had already secretly conspired to get Mo, the city lad, drunk.

This was like dealing with a new son-in-law in the countryside.

In the countryside, when a girl got married, her new husband’s first visit to her parents’ home was seen as a testing ground. The bride’s relatives would invite the villagers who could hold their liquor well to join the meal and get the new son-in-law drunk. This was to show their support for the bride and ensure she wouldn’t be bullied at her in-laws’ house.

This was their way of showing support for Ni Yang and protecting her.

Mo wasn’t perturbed by their teasing. He helped to serve the noodles on the table, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and started distributing them to everyone..
