295. Chapter 295: Cheng Jinyu, Is This Never‑Ending?

An Liu replied, "Yes, at the restaurant."

After the restaurant opened, Xiao Shitou and the others would head straight to the restaurant as soon as school let out each day.

When they're too busy to win.

They helped them with some work for a while.

They were so busy that they succeeded.

They did their homework and ate the snacks that Qiao Sheng had someone make for them.

As for dinner.

We went at the Hai hour.

Shi Jin, after hearing An Liu finish, pursed his lips and said, "So that means the snacks we eat will have to be shared with him, won't it?"

Just like him, they also kept thinking about eating.

An Liu, smiling, said, "Your Aunt Qiao said, if you don't do homework you get no food, so Cheng Jinyu, who says he'll do nothing today, definitely won't get any. Moreover, with one more person, can Aunt Qiao not make more?"

Indeed.

Thinking of that.

Shi Jin said nothing more.

When they arrived at Qiao's Restaurant.

The restaurant hall already had several tables of people seated, undoubtedly there to eat at the restaurant; since they had just arrived, no dishes had been served yet, and the tables only had tea and sunflower seeds.

They looked around.

Qiao Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Shitou and the others, with their schoolbags on their backs, headed to the back courtyard.

At this moment, Qiao Sheng was in the back courtyard talking to Cheng Jinyu; he was not only crying but also tearing books, making a huge ruckus.

An Shi, after an uncertain amount of time, called Qiao Sheng over.

"Cheng Jinyu, are you never done?"

Qiao Sheng watched how they spoke, Cheng Jinyu kept going, their face grew a few degrees colder than before.

"Hmph!"

Cheng Jinyu turned around and ignored them.

Qiao Sheng directly ordered An Shi to tie them up and hang them on a tree.

Cheng Jinyu was completely upset: "You wicked woman, I'm going to tell my mother, you abuse me…"

"Tie them!"

Qiao Sheng said to An Shi.

An Shi hurried off to fetch a rope.

Xiao Shitou and the others entered and saw Cheng Jinyu hanging from the tree, crying with tears and snot smearing their face.

"Mother…"

"Aunt Qiao…"

They all chose to ignore Cheng Jinyu.

Qiao Sheng patted their heads and said, "You're back, are you hungry? I had someone make several snacks for you; go put your schoolbags away, then eat and do homework later."

"Aunt Qiao, you're so kind!"

Shi Jin's eyes instantly narrowed into a sliver of a smile.

Shi Ren understood Qiao Sheng's meaning and didn't call him out.

Xiao Shitou also said nothing.

Shi Yun stole a glance at Cheng Jinyu, seeing them cry even more sorrowfully.

He couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Later, holding the food, should he wave it in front of them?

That way, he guessed they'd be even more sad!

Can see.

Can't eat!

Soon after, Qiao Sheng had someone bring several snacks to Xiao Shitou and the others: pumpkin balls, sweet‑potato balls, candied sweet potatoes, radish pancakes, and grilled lamb skewers, plus a drink—a freshly squeezed fruit juice made in the kitchen, not overly sweet, very refreshing.

These snacks not only looked appetizing, some also smelled especially fragrant.

Even though Cheng Jinyu ate some snacks, the smell still made them swallow saliva.

Shi Yun noticed, picked up a piece of grilled lamb, ate it while saying, "Ah, this grilled lamb skewer is so delicious, crispy outside, tender inside, both fragrant and spicy, I love it."

Xiao Shitou said cheerfully, "If you like it, eat more; my mother had someone make many skewers today, each of us got three and there are extras."

"Today's juice is better than ever, it's very thirst‑quenching."

Shi Jin, squinting, said.

Shi Ren took a sip and indeed it was better than before.

He thought it was made by Qiao Sheng himself, not knowing it was because Spirit Spring Water was added.

Cheng Jinyu couldn't stand it: "You, you give me some too."
