Chapter Seventy-Seven: April's Family Affairs
Eat and drink enough, and there is a personal meat pillow to sleep on, Bai Jiaojiao is naturally satisfied. "Second brother, what do you say the eldest brother is talking to Ah Zhong?"
Bai Hua let her lean on, "It's not a shameful thing in the village, when we closed the shop last night, we could see the shopkeeper of Taibai Baifang looking for his little lady all over the street." ”
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly lost her sleepiness when she heard this. "Lost another one?"
"But no, when I went to pick up the lunch box during the day, I saw the little lady helping the wine shop settle accounts, and in a blink of an eye, this person was gone." Bai Hua is related. "So I said I wouldn't let you go out today, but the eldest brother said that he couldn't stop you, anyway, you just stayed in the shop and weren't allowed to go anywhere."
Losing another woman, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of the female corpses lying in Qin's house, and her heart was cold. Obviously, the embarrassing case has attracted the attention of the yamen, but the other party not only did not stop, but also began to commit crimes during the day. This time it's the little lady in town, so who will it be next time? Could it be someone close to her?
If it really affects her, will she continue to be so comfortable?
"Kyauk-kyo, Kyauk-kyo."
Bai Hua pushed Bai Jiaojiao, who didn't know where the wandering spirit was, and knew that this girl was not listening to herself. "What are you thinking, it's almost there."
"Oh." Suddenly woke up, Bai Jiaojiao found that he had arrived not far from Bai Ji.
Bai Ji's door was already open, and the April mother and daughter, who had arrived early, had already packed up the breakfast stall and put it outside the shop, and there was already a long queue in front of the door to buy steamed buns.
Seeing that April was too busy to stand, Bai Hua immediately rushed forward to help. And Bai Li and Bai Jiaojiao carried things into the inner hall.
"The owner is here." Sister-in-law Qin brought three bowls of small wontons to the guests' tables, and greeted Bai Jiaojiao and them.
"Sister-in-law has worked hard, I'll look at it outside, you can get busy first." The business was so good early in the morning, and Bai Jiaojiao's heart was really painful and happy.
"Hey, okay. It just so happens that my buns are steaming and I can't get busy. Seeing that she was not allowed to collect the accounts, Sister-in-law Qin immediately felt a lot more relaxed, wrapped in an apron and went back to the kitchen to get busy.
"Shopkeeper, come two bowls of your signature noodles, and two baskets of that little bun."
Bai Jiaojiao opened the lock of the counter, and someone else ordered. "Okay, twenty in total. Please take the No. 15 sign. ”
"It's still your family's taste is good, and the speed is fast, and I have the strength to eat a bowl of noodles in the morning." The guest took the sign and praised a few words of affordability.
Several people were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground to cope with the morning, and Rao is April also complained that his arms were sore. Bai Jiaojiao took a closer look, but found that April's slightly rough palm was also burned red by the hot bun.
"Brother, there are fewer people these days, you can help me watch it now. In April, you and I come over. ”
"Boss, what's wrong?" April was a little uneasy, thinking of the problems with yesterday's dishes, and suddenly a little nervous.
The fair-eyed man seemed to see through her thoughts, and pointed to the bench in the backyard. "Sit." Seeing that she looked nervous, he pulled her hand hard. "Look at you, don't you feel that your palms are red? If you don't handle it well, it will blister. ”
"Ah, that's what you're telling me, boss?" April watched with some pain as Bai Jiaojiao poured out a cool ointment from the small porcelain bottle, which didn't look cheap. "It's okay, it's nothing like this."
"I am indeed a little lacking in skills since the shop opened, and I have rarely watched in the shop in the morning, I don't know that I have been so busy since the morning, it is really hard for you."
"It's the owner's dim sum that is doing well, and it's only been a little busy since our family launched it earlier."
April wanted to retract his hand, but was firmly grasped by Bai Jiaojiao, and the two hands, one white and one red, formed a stark contrast. "You're so good-looking, and you have to be nice to yourself, but your hands are a woman's second face."
"Owner, I ......" April was a little overwhelmed, except for her own mother, no one would ever notice whether she was injured or not, let alone drug her so gently. This medicine is too expensive, so don't use it for me. ”
"Don't move, no matter how expensive the medicine is, no one matters, and without you and Sister-in-law Qin, Bai Ji won't be messed up." Bai Jiaojiao applied a cool ointment to both of April's hands, and carefully looked at it to see if there was anything missing. "Looks like I should add more people to the shop...... April, what's going on with your arm! “
"No, nothing." April panicked and put down the sleeves that had been inadvertently lifted by Bai Jiaojiao.
"It's nothing." Bai Jiaojiao's eyes were quick, and he lifted it up hard, and suddenly the red flesh that was missing a layer of skin on April's inner arm came into view. "Who did it, so ruthless."
No wonder April had such a hard time lifting the cage, the edges of this smooth wound were clearly cut off by someone. Some of the edges of the skin wrapped in a white cloth have begun to crust over, but more often are black and red wounds.
"Boss, be quiet, don't let my aunt hear it." April pleaded.
"Okay, I don't shout, but who did you sue me? Is there someone seeking revenge? "Could it be that someone can't see that their business is good, so they will attack April, this move is too vicious.
"No, it's none of Baiji's business." April denied it, and a trace of hatred crossed his eyes. "It's my private business."
Bai Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at April when she heard this, according to April's temperament, love and hatred are clearly fierce and fierce, and ordinary people don't want to take advantage of her, so that he can swallow his anger and suffer so much, it is really a private matter as she said. "Is it the old woman of your family?"
"You ...... the owner"
"April, from the first day I met you, I thought you were a person who could tell the difference between black and white. If you enter Bai Kee, you are a Bai Kee person. Although you always refuse to change your words and want to call me the owner, in my heart you are my sister, I admire you very much, and I will not allow others to bully you. "In her previous life, she had seen too many real villains who were hypocritical, and she liked a frank woman like April." If that's what you think, just call me by my name. ”
"Boss, no, Kyauk-kau, I'...... Thank you. April's eyes suddenly turned red, and in her heart, Bai Jiaojiao gave not only a dignity, but also the hope for their family to live. She is not only grateful to the Bai family, but after all, it is a pickled matter in her own family, how can she implicate the Bai family. "But this matter is my family matter, I will take care of it, and I promise you that it will not affect the things in the shop."
"You know I'm not worried about that." Bai Jiaojiao was helpless, why is this guy so stubborn. "I'm worried about you. Although she is your own grandmother, it is an indisputable fact that she abused you and your mother. Since you don't want to make a noise, I won't ask, but if you need my help, you can just say it. ”
An old woman could make such a ruthless hand, recalling the hurried meeting that day, although she couldn't remember the appearance of the other party, but the thin back and the cold gaze like a poisonous snake lingered in Bai Jiaojiao's mind.
April nodded earnestly. "Kyaukyao, don't worry, I'm not a bully. Although A-Niang and I owe her, it is time to pay it off all these years. I'm just waiting for an opportunity. ”
"I'm relieved when you say that." April is really not a fool, "What about this wound?" ”
"It's just that a few nights ago, I saw that she didn't come home for a long time, and she didn't go back to the house until midnight, so I asked a lot of questions, and I had an argument with her for a while, and I was injured by mistake."
"Accidental injury?" Accidental injuries can be so accurate. "You're a great grandmother."
"Knock, knock." As he spoke, there was a soft knock on the back door, and a head entered.
April hurriedly lowered his sleeves and looked at it casually. "Zhao Sanshi? Why are you here so early? ”
"I ...... Of course I have something. Zhao Sanshi looked around until he met Bai Jiaojiao's eyes, and suddenly stood up straight. The proprietor was punctual. ”
"The owner?" April looked at Bai Jiaojiao suspiciously.
Bai Jiaojiao smiled meaningfully. "You're not bad either. In April, Zhao Sanshi and I have something to say, and you and my brother will talk about it later. ”
"You're going out?" April saw the two open the back door and slipped out together.
"I'll be back later, and remember to rub the medicine." Bai Jiaojiao waved his hand to April.
When April heard this, he lowered his head and picked up the medicine bottle on the table, thought about it again, and carefully sealed the medicine bottle and put it into his personal pocket.
