Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 229

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?

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..
