It will be a few days after the midnight snack food stall is officially launched.
The business of "Jingshui Pavilion" is getting more and more popular, and it has reached the point where new customers come every day.
Since the last banquet, Li Guangrun stopped poaching people at high prices, and the store's clerks were quickly replenished.
Therefore, Liu Mo simply set up morning and evening shifts.
During the day, I act as the shopkeeper and Xin'er acts as the chef, operating the restaurant as normal.
After night falls, Wang Xiaoqi becomes the lobby manager and the night master of "Jingshui Pavilion"!
Barbecue is not complicated to make and does not require a professional chef. Liu Mo and Xin'er can have a good rest.
After receiving Zheng Yuanqiao's guidance, Xin'er's cooking skills became more and more proficient. In addition to home-style stir-fries, she has learned many signature dishes from Zheng Yuanqiao.
The popularity brought by the late-night food stalls has also made business a lot better during the day.
Lin Shiqi calculated that she could achieve a small profit through daytime business alone.
As for the late-night food stall business?
It can be said that as long as the status quo can be maintained for half a year, Liu Mo will be able to open another restaurant of the same size by March of next year!
With such a booming business, Liu Mo quickly handed over his first "performance".
When the tax money was handed over to Wu Shifeng, the stunned look on his face made Liu Mo even have the urge to shoot a video and post it on WeChat.
On that day, Wu Shifeng also proposed to introduce a big shot to Liu Mo in the coming year.
Big shot? Will he be the county magistrate of Rongcheng?
Liu Mo remembered that Wu Shifeng deliberately avoided talking about the Rongcheng County Grand Master every time he mentioned it, and this time was no exception.
Doing this made Liu Mo even more curious.
…
Unconsciously, two months have passed since the Hungry Ghost Festival, and Liu Mo's first winter in the Great Xia Dynasty has quietly arrived.
Rongcheng is located in the north of Daxia Dynasty. It is only the beginning of winter, and fine snow has begun to fall in the sky.
When he got up in the morning and walked outside the door, Liu Mo felt snowflakes falling on his face, melting as soon as they touched his skin, like a gentle rain.
In such weather, it seems a little inappropriate to pair barbecue with beer.
Naturally, Liu Mo would not recommend these two things in the winter. He had already thought of a countermeasure: "Hot pot!"
The main dish is hot pot, and skewers are sold as side dishes.
After a busy day, Liu Mo held a meeting to formulate plans for the winter. However, she found that Xin'er had a frown on her face. She wanted to speak several times, but she choked back her words.
He felt strange. After asking several times, Xin'er still shook her head.
Before the meeting ended, Liu Mo discovered that Xin'er had left early.
Something is obviously wrong!
When I arrived at Xin'er's room, I saw her sitting by the bed, worried.
"What's wrong? My dear wife!" Liu Mo sat down next to her and kissed her cheek gently.
Xin'er lowered her head and clenched her fists.
"Husband, I want to go back to Linyang!"
"Back to Linyang?" Liu Mo was surprised. "What do you need to do?"
Xin'er shook her head and fell into silence.
Is it because I was too busy during this period and neglected her? Or is it because of Yuan'er?
"Haha, Yuan'er is outspoken and honest, but her nature is not bad." Liu Mo hugged her and leaned on his shoulder, "I will take you out for a walk tomorrow. Did you know that the jewelry store in Dongshi is here? A new batch of goods, very beautiful.”
"Well..." Xin'er lowered her head again. "Xin'er has enough jewelry!"
Huh? Girls are not interested in jewelry? Liu Mo asked in surprise, "Are you worried?"
"Husband, please let me go back to Linyang!"
"What are you talking about!" Liu Mo raised his tone, "You call me husband, as long as you are born with the word Tian, you are your husband. Is there anything you can't tell me clearly? Tell me quickly. I, Liu Mo, can take care of such big things. !”
Xin'er frowned, and then she said: "Husband...since I last had a relationship with you, I haven't had a menstrual period for more than two months!"
As she said that, she took Liu Mo's hand and gently touched his slightly bulging belly!
With this touch, Liu Mo immediately understood: Xin'er, she's pregnant!
He was extremely happy at this moment! ! ! "I'm going to be a father, hahaha!"
The image of a little baby babbling and calling his father immediately appeared in his mind.
In excitement, Liu Mo immediately kissed Xin'er several times.
But the next second, he also reacted and suddenly frowned.
The rules of the Great Xia Dynasty...The first child must be born to me by Lin Shiqi, there is no way to force this change!
Although the old lady is very optimistic about me, Lin Shiqi also treats me as the head of the family.
But no matter what, I can’t escape my identity!
I'm just a son-in-law! This is a status quo that cannot be changed!
"What's going on!" Liu Mo stood up, walked to the window alone, opened the window, and let the cold wind whistle around him.
"Husband, let me leave here. I will live with my children by myself!"
"How can this work! How can you, orphans and widowed mothers, live!" He turned to face her as he spoke, his eyes gloomy and his tone full of doubts.
Of course Liu Mo could not agree to such a request. How could he abandon his wife and children?
"Now that you are pregnant, you need to have a good rest and don't think too much. I will think of a perfect solution!"
Although he said so, Liu Mo was at a loss at this moment.
This incident was so unexpected that it was completely out of his plan.
"Husband, Sister Lin is willing to accept me, which is something Xin'er can't even dream of." Xin'er said with tears, "Moreover, even if she can tolerate the child in my belly, the Lin family cannot tolerate it! !!”
What Xin'er said was absolutely correct. Liu Mo also knew his eldest wife. She was not the Virgin. Although he didn't say anything about Xin'er staying with her last time, he knew exactly what he thought of him in his heart.
With the relationship between the two of them, she could stop Liu Mo and give Xin'er a sum of money to disappear completely.
But out of love for Liu Mo, she made concessions and fulfilled Liu Mo's vision of not being a scumbag.
But this time is different.
Taking a concubine is a small matter, but inheritance is a big deal!
It would be fine if Xiner gave birth to a daughter. If it was a son, the Daxia Dynasty would have an orderly arrangement of elders and younger ones, with distinctions between seniority and inferiority.
According to the rules, Xin'er's son had a share of Liu Mo's family property.
Even if Lin Shiqi is possessed by the Holy Mother, the entire Lin family will not agree.
Abort the child? Even more impossible!
First of all, even in modern times with advanced medical standards, abortion may cause lifelong infertility. The level of medical treatment in the Daxia Dynasty was not high, and lifelong infertility was considered mild, but severe cases were more likely to be life-threatening.
Another thing is that the Great Xia Dynasty was in turmoil for many years, and the court issued a law that a man should be eighteen years old, and a woman who was sixteen years old would be guilty if she did not marry.
The purpose is to recuperate, encourage people to have more children, replenish the population, and restore national strength.
Do you want to have an abortion at this critical moment?
It is no exaggeration to say that once someone reports something, everyone from the prescriber to the parents, or even those who do not report it.
They will all be captured for you, first paraded through the streets, then beheaded, and finally the corpses will be hung on the city wall for you as a warning.
One last key point.
If none of the above exists, Liu Mo cannot be a scumbag, and making such a decision will damage his moral character!
One head, two big!
No matter what, this news must be told to Lin Shiqi as soon as possible!!!
