Once upon a time, Zhang Junming used to paint dreams for him, but time has passed, and now he has started painting dreams for Sun Lang. Sun Lang is pursuing Su Xueyi with the intention of marriage, but he is unclear about Su Xueyi's feelings towards him. If Su Xueyi is looking to settle down, she would surely seize this opportunity. If not, then it’s best to let Sun Lang move on and find someone else!
Sun Lang cannot afford to waste time; age is one factor, but the emotional aspect is even more critical. The matter of Fang Zi is inconsequential to him; it doesn’t matter who it goes to. However, since Sun Lang brought Su Xueyi along to acquire Fang Zi, he needs to gauge Su Xueyi's attitude first.
In a small shop, whether it costs 150,000 or even 1.5 million, given Sun Lang's situation, it shouldn't be a problem. But now is not the time for Sun Lang to flaunt his wealth.
It’s easy to share wealth, but sharing hardships is difficult. If Su Xueyi has the determination to endure hardships alongside Sun Lang, then she deserves to enjoy this wealth! Once they open a small shop in Anhe Town and it thrives, Shi Tian will take Sun Lang and Old Zhang over to Cha Dong to open another store there; that would simplify matters significantly.
As long as they stick with Shi Tian, he won’t let them go hungry. With their interests tied together, things will become straightforward. He isn’t worried about these people growing wings and betraying him!
In terms of skills, they learned from him; he can easily suppress them by refining their techniques a bit. As for connections, they are still like younger siblings! He drafted a few strategies for Sun Lang to see if he could propose before the year ends. If Sun Lang can pull this off, they could celebrate the New Year at his father-in-law's house!
Waving goodbye to the daydreaming Sun Lang, Shi Tian drove the Electric Mini to pick up Li Ziyu from the courtyard. Poor Yi Laotou could no longer wait and had been pushed into the kitchen by several old men to do the heavy lifting.
Without hesitation, he dashed into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and started bringing out dish after dish that Yi Laotou had prepared. There was still one last dish that hadn’t been cooked yet, leaving him a bit of room to shine!
“Master, you just sit at the table and relax; I’ll handle things here!” He leaned closer to Yi Laotou and received an eye roll in return.
“The busy person has arrived! You’ve finished so many dishes already; just one more left—do I really need your help?”
Hearing Yi Laotou’s grumbling made Shi Tian smile awkwardly; it seemed Old Kong and Old Wen had really put Yi Laotou through the wringer lately!
Yi Laotou was a straightforward person; in front of Old Kong and Old Wen, he probably wouldn’t realize he’d been tricked until two or three days later—poor Yi Laotou!
“No need at all!” Shi Tian took the pot from Yi Laotou’s hands and leaned forward with a slight smile. “Master, when you’re with Old Kong and Old Wen, you must be more vigilant; those two old fellows are full of tricks!”
Upon hearing this, Yi Laotou nearly shed tears.
Old Kong and Old Wen were truly mischievous—fighting over spots and throwing stones; those two would go to any lengths for just two fish! Can you believe they secretly swapped my Mullet Bait for regular Bait?
Listening to Yi Laotou recounting the misdeeds of Old Kong and Old Wen shattered Shi Tian’s worldview!
When there were no fish around, they would target Fishing Buddy; when there was no Fishing Buddy available, they’d turn on Yi Laotou and Old Liu, driving both old men crazy.
Yet they couldn’t break free from these two old men; fishing with them was pure joy! It wasn’t that they didn’t want to trick the two old men a few times—it was just that their abilities didn’t allow for it! The tactics they devised over several days fell flat in front of those two old men!
For this matter, Shi Tian felt helpless as his strength was not enough in front of these two old men.
"Did you just take my disciple's wife out for a stroll? Which one was it? Let me give you some advice! I'll teach you a bit about face reading!" He complained alongside Yi Laotou, quickly forming a united front against the two old men.
"The prettiest one in the room is her. Disciple, do your best to make sure she serves you tea soon!" Shi Tian said with a slight smile as he glanced at Li Ziyu, who was busy entertaining the old men.
Following Shi Tian's gaze, Yi Laotou noted Li Ziyu's figure and made a mental note to check her face later, to see if she had a prosperous appearance for his disciple.
After a meal, the old men spent quite a bit. Amidst the calls of "Yi Grandpa," Yi Laotou generously opened his wallet, causing the three young ladies' eyes to light up with joy.
After dinner, Shi Tian accompanied the old men to sit in the courtyard while the three young ladies brewed tea for them and then turned to clean up the battlefield inside.
"Xiao Tian, I heard you opened a Little Lobster Shop? You can cook crayfish?" Yi Laotou initiated, fearing that Old Kong and Old Wen would start sharing their fishing mishaps.
Old Wen had previously mentioned to Yi Laotou about Shi Tian teaching people how to run a shop, but since Shi Tian was rather casual about it, Old Wen wasn’t too sure. Now that he saw Shi Tian with the old men present, Yi Laotou wanted to probe into Shi Tian's thoughts.
"Yes, I just opened a few days ago. I experimented on my own and thought the taste was decent, so I decided to teach it. You should come and try it too!"
