Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1652 - 901: Dog Owner

Urban area.

Chen Siyu is nestled on the sofa, wrapped in a small blanket, holding her phone, looking at her chat history with Xue Yuantong with eyes full of curiosity.

On her right is her somewhat wise, but not as sharp sister.

On her left is her still charming mother, Mother Chen, who is peeling edamame, preparing to stir-fry them for lunch.

She secretly observes her daughter while exchanging glances with her husband, showing some worry.

Last night, her daughter went out to play and came home very late. When asked, it turned out she had gone to an internet cafe to play games.

For people like Mother Chen’s generation, internet cafes don’t leave a good impression, stereotypically seen as gathering places for delinquents. If her twin daughters were to get into any trouble there, it would be irreversible.

She heard from a colleague that in her colleague’s neighborhood, there was a little girl, only 16 years old, who didn’t get into high school and couldn’t find work because her family had no money. The little girl hung out outside every day, playing pool and drinking with delinquents, and eventually ended up getting pregnant. The family only found out when her belly got big.

Mother Chen is truly scared!

Father Chen knows his wife’s worries, but he feels helpless. They are teenage girls, and he can’t just restrict their freedom. As they say, too much constraint can lead to the opposite outcome.

Mother Chen thought for a moment, gave her husband a look, and Father Chen understood, standing up and going into the bedroom, closing the door.

Only the three women were left in the living room.

"Cough, cough, you two play on your phones all day, have you finished your winter homework?" Mother Chen asked.

Chen Siyu argued, "I’ve been working hard the past few days, look at my dark circles, look at my energy!"

Chen Siqing nodded, "Mm-hmm."

Mother Chen: "So you’re saying you’ve been staying up late to study hard?"

Chen Siyu: "Yes, Mom!"

Mother Chen: "Then how much of your winter homework have you completed?"

Chen Siyu smiled sheepishly, "Not much."

"..." Mother Chen didn’t dwell on this point. With this as a lead, she said, "Winter homework, whether you do it or not doesn’t matter. I’m not expecting you two to get into a top university, as long as you both stay safe."

The twins nodded, "Mm-hmm," they didn’t have big ambitions, just that when they grew up, they could find an incredibly awesome husband!

Mother Chen continued, "So you have to promise your mother, to stay safe. Like last night when you went to the internet cafe, your dad and I were very worried, and now you two are growing up."

Mother Chen paused and said, "There are some topics between men and women that the school might not teach, but as a parent, I still need to talk to you about them, to prevent you from going down the wrong path in the future."

At this point, Mother Chen was ready to talk about some adult topics, feeling a bit embarrassed.

As she organized her words, she saw her daughter Siyu patting her chest, assuring, "It’s okay, Mom! If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me!"

With that, Mother Chen was stunned, feeling something was off.

...

River dam.

Director Han and his family stepped into the rural tourism hall.

The hall was warm, with the heater cranked up, and Yang Fei, as the owner, didn’t just stand by but personally attended to the guests at the front desk.

"Little Yang," Director Han spoke.

Yang Fei put on a smile, his voice cheerful, generously saying, "Director Han, last time your dish wasn’t served, I’ve noted it down, today it’s on the house for you."

"Oh?" This was a pleasant surprise, though such a small amount of money was nothing to Director Han, the important thing was the attitude.

The affluent Mrs. Chen observed the rural tourism environment; after all, it was rural tourism, and the decor couldn’t compare to a grand hotel. Mrs. Chen occasionally showed a look of disdain.

Yang Fei didn’t mind, his rural tourism business was positioned as high-end, often hosting dignitaries. The more he saw, the better he understood these kinds of people, some of whom had extremely arrogant attitudes, as if they were above ordinary people.

But that’s okay, Yang Fei opened his business, and his dishes would win over customers.

"Please!" Yang Fei led them to a private dining room.

He handed over the menu on the table, "Apart from the mushroom soup, take a look at what you’d like to eat. Each dish here is special."

He stood by, waiting to explain to them.

Mrs. Chen took the menu, her eyes glanced at the signature mushroom soup. Seeing the price, her eyes narrowed, "6666 yuan per serving?"

She double-checked to make sure she didn’t read it wrong and immediately questioned, "Over 6,000 yuan? Isn’t this the price for a seafood feast in Nan City?"

She looked as if she suspected it was a scam.

Yang Fei kept smiling, "Our mushroom soup is made with real ingredients. Sister, you’ve probably eaten or heard of the wild True Red Mushroom. The top-grade red mushroom from Wuyi Mountain can sell for thousands of yuan per pound. The soup made from it is incredibly fresh. Many of our guests have tried True Red Mushroom but preferred our mushroom soup over it."

"Normally, it’s by reservation only, and many senior officials have tried it, but if you don’t like it, I’ll refund you immediately."

Yang Fei explained smoothly.

With those words, Mrs. Chen’s skepticism was eased. She had a domineering personality, and feeling irritated inside, she couldn’t express it openly at the moment.

Yang Fei took in her reaction, finding these kinds of people interesting. They put on a superior attitude yet can’t completely ignore the world. When it comes to expensive dishes, they still fuss over the price.

Mrs. Chen then looked at the Earth Pot Chicken on the menu, priced at 666 yuan.

She nitpicked, "This price can rival that of selling old geese, can it? Normal free-range chickens cost just over 300."

Yang Fei explained again that his chickens were sourced from people who specialized in training chickens, capable of flying a hundred meters, so the meat was particularly tasty.

Mrs. Chen persisted, "As for the bread? Others sell it for 10 yuan per pot, but you’re charging 38 yuan per pot?"
