Gu Qingshan continued: "Since you want to go together, just do it, there must be many people in the East Market today, if you really want to go, you have to make plans in advance." ”

Gu Qingzhu thought for a while and said: "Set up a stall to sell wontons, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that there will be a lot of people, and the ingredients will not be able to keep up, and if I come back to get it, it will delay time." ”

"It's not simple, I'll go with you, my brother will carry the burden, if there is a shortage of anything, let my brother take it back and forth, Qingzhu just guards the stall to collect wontons, wash the dishes and add charcoal to watch the fire, I will cover it all!" Gu Daya stood up excitedly and said.

Zheng Zhaodi nodded approvingly: "Then I'll make wontons in the noodle restaurant, and by the way, I can take care of Qingying and them, let's go out to set up a stall for the first time today, it's always good to prepare more." ”

"People all over the city are flocking to the East Market to see the lanterns, and the business of the noodle restaurant may not be as good as before, don't worry, I can handle it alone." Fang Kui took a sip of water and said firmly.

"Well, let's prepare well, think things carefully, and we will definitely be able to do it!" Gu Qingzhu smiled comfortably, it was really good that she could have this group of friends.

Hearing a neighing of a horse at the door, the tall Liang Mancang stepped in in a blink of an eye: "What are you talking about?" Seems to be happy. ”

"Brother Mancang, Qingzhu is going to set up a stall in the East Market to sell wontons in a while!" When Gu Daya saw him, she immediately smiled and poured him a bowl of water.

Liang Mancang twisted his eyebrows slightly: "Why did you think of doing this?" There are many noisy people in Dongshi, and one person is afraid that he will not be able to be busy. ”

"Let's go to three people, but it's hard to find a place to set up a stall." Gu Qingzhu pursed his lips. Quite worried.

Liang Mancang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to go to three people, as for the location, if your stall is not big, it will be placed diagonally opposite the yamen tent, under our noses, no one dares to make trouble, in addition, it is close to the entrance, there are more people in and out, in addition, it is next to the Huaishui River, and it is convenient to use water." ”

"That's great, I'm in that place, and my stall is just two frames, you can walk with it, and it doesn't take up any space." Gu Qingzhu said with a smile.

Liang Mancang was aroused by her words: "In previous years, when I was marching and fighting, I saw a tea stall on the side of the road, a few oilcloths were put together, and a large stove was set up, and it could be placed anywhere, but I had never seen such a small one as you said, can I take a look at it first?" ”

Gu Qingzhu nodded again and again: "Of course you can, and I burn charcoal, although the price is higher, but fortunately, there is no smell of smoke, and I won't spark seeds." ”

Fang Kui and Gu Qingzhu went to the backyard and took out the two frames, Liang Mancang looked at them carefully, and listened to Gu Qingzhu's introduction of the function, and felt that it was really exquisite and practical, so he couldn't help but praise a few words.

Gu Qingsong pulled Gu Qingying to him, touched here and there like a little adult, knocked there, and after a while, he went to the lattice where the stove was placed to hide and hide, making his sister happy.

Seeing that the two little ones were having fun, Liang Mancang pulled Gu Qingzhu aside and whispered: "I tried that man overnight yesterday, and even tortured him, but he only said that he was looking good-looking and wanted to take him home to raise him, not abduction." ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Qingzhu said angrily, "That person is not a good person at first glance!" ”

Liang Mancang pressed his hand and signaled her to be calm, "I didn't believe it at first, but according to the official who patrolled the street, he was indeed from Nancang County, and there was no record of him being a traitor, and now, except for the reason he said, no other clues have been found." ”

Gu Qingzhu pinched the corners of his forehead and looked at Qingying, who was playing with Qingsong: "Doesn't he have any children himself, why did he come out to steal other people's children?" ”

Liang Mancang also had a headache, so he had to tell Gu Qingzhu the results of the interrogation: "He said that his family is poor, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law today, and he is afraid that there will be no one to serve him when he is old, so he wants to hold a child and raise him to prevent old age." ”

"If he wants to raise ~ children without spending money, there are many little beggars outside, and there are many little boys, but why did he steal a female doll from Qingying, and he robbed Qingying and didn't run out, but fled to the lantern exhibition, it's really abnormal, I guess someone is waiting for him to hand over inside!" Gu Qingzhu thought about it for a day, but only this explanation could be said.

Liang Mancang listened to her words, and fell into contemplation for a while, he was concerned about it at the time, but he didn't expect this, so naturally he didn't search in the exhibition, but even if he searched, there were people watching the lanterns everywhere, and hiding a person with a ghost in his heart was like finding a fish in a school of fish, and it was easy to get mixed up.

Now that he has been caught, he just wants to hold the child to death, and now that the child has not been lost, his culpability is at most to be beaten, and then, it is over.

Since Gu Qingzhu opened this noodle restaurant, it has not been peaceful, last time someone deliberately found fault and made trouble, this time he almost lost Qingying, although Liang Mancang felt that these two things were not as simple as they appeared, but he did not catch the real handle, and finally had to let the two go, which made him very frustrated.

Gu Qingzhu saw that he was annoyed, and smiled faintly: "Brother Mancang, don't be embarrassed and bored, after the Qixi Lantern Exhibition, the noodle restaurant can have some frequent diners and a stable income, so I will take Qingying to review my home." ”

"Why did you change your mind?" Liang Mancang asked with some surprise.

"Before, I had quit my job, and I was going to go back, because Uncle Fu had this incident, I thought about it, and I made the most money in business, so I stayed, and now Qingying is really not suitable for being here anymore, and I also want to go back to serve the tea garden, so I can only hand over the noodle shop to them to take care of in the future." Gu Qingzhu looked at the four people who were gathered in one place to drink water and chat.

Liang Mancang looked down at the wood grain on the table, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and only heard him say: "It's okay to go back, Qingying is too young, and this time she is scared a lot, so she has to take care of it." ”

Gu Qingzhu raised his head and was about to reply, but Gu Qingying suddenly giggled and threw herself into her arms, while Gu Qingsong pretended to chase her with a grimace in the back.

Liang Mancang and Gu Qingzhu glanced at each other, and their minds were clear, so they stopped and only played with Gu Qingying.

On the eve of Qixi Festival, there were people in the yamen all day and all night, Liang Mancang came by stealing, and there was nothing to do in the meeting hall, so he rode away in a hurry.

In order to successfully set up a stall in the evening, several people went separately to prepare, from the stove to the chopped coriander, and many of them were stuffed into the two frames, busy with these trivial things, which was very time-consuming, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the time.

Just as Gu Qingzhu and Gu Qingshan, brother and sister, were making the last inspection in front of the kitchen in front of the door, they saw two girls coming in at the door, one was convex and backward, and the girl with her orchid fingers said coquettishly: "Boss, come to two bowls of noodles." ”

Gu Qingshan opened the curtain of the kitchen door and came out and said, "The two of you will sit down for a while, and you will come right away." ”

"Is that you?"

Gu Qingshan was surprised, the person standing in front of him was actually Gu Erni, who he hadn't seen for a long time!

And what was more surprised than Gu Erni was Peng Pearl beside her, she looked at Gu Qingshan, her eyes were almost falling out, she just called the boss, he came out to answer, could it be that this noodle restaurant is his?!

Hearing that the voice in front of them was wrong, Gu Qingzhu and Gu Daya also came out of the kitchen, and saw Gu Erni and the two of them with their mouths wide open like daylights, like that, they could almost stuff an egg!

"You two bad guys, you dare to run to our noodle restaurant and shout at you!" Gu Daya crossed her waist and scolded.

Gu Qingzhu saw that Gu Erni was still wearing the light begonia-colored clothes of the Dexing Weaving Workshop, her face was yellow, and she looked like she had not eaten much sleep and was not in good spirits.

"Your noodle shop?" Gu Erni repeated, her eyes full of jealousy.

Gu Daya's words completely verified Peng Zhuzhu's conjecture, she took a step forward, and suddenly grabbed the corner of Gu Qingshan's clothes: "We originally had a marriage contract, if it weren't for your accident, my father would have forced me to withdraw from the marriage, I would have been your lady!" Now ......" said Hyun Cry.

"No, no, no......" Gu Qingshan didn't expect her to be so bold, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly retreated, but she didn't let go at all, and pressed step by step.

Gu Daya rushed over, took off her shoes, and slapped her arm mercilessly: "Stinky shameless, you were the one who made the divorce at the beginning, and now you still want to pester my brother, see if I don't kill you!" ”

"It's better if you beat me to death, but instead I became your brother's ghost, anyway, I have a marriage contract with your brother!" Peng Pearl covered her face with her elbows, pulling the corners of Gu Qingshan's clothes and not letting go.

At this moment, Zheng Zhaodi came out of it, Gu Qingshan was in a hurry, and he felt that he couldn't tell it clearly, so he pulled it violently, and with a "smack", he directly tore off the corner of Peng Zhuzhu's clothes.

Gu Daya was so angry that she pumped her hand with the sole of her shoe: "You quickly lose your clothes!" ”

Gu Qingzhu watched coldly, and said lightly: "Peng Zhu, you withdrew from Brother Qingshan's marriage, not only because he was injured, but also because the son of the restaurant next door to your family fell in love with you, of course you will not let the future proprietress of the restaurant be improper, and be willing to go to the countryside to be a village woman, in the final analysis, you don't look down on the people in the mountains at all, you were willing to get married at the beginning, but you think that Brother Qingshan's family is solid."

Now, the restaurant owner saw that he couldn't occupy your house, so he had already chosen an honest and easy-to-handle country girl for his son as his daughter-in-law, your father was so angry that he fell ill in bed, and you don't want to fall short at both ends, now I see Brother Qingshan making a noodle restaurant, I want to eat back grass, you don't want to think about it, we people in the mountains are sincere, but not stupid, want to eat, and are not afraid to pierce your mouth and break your teeth! ”

"You...... How do you know? Peng Pearl asked with an ugly face.

Gu Qingzhu said contemptuously: "Nancang County is so big, there are more people coming and going in the noodle restaurant, if you want to know something, it's just a matter of asking one more word!" ”

"I also know that in order to marry the son of the restaurant owner as soon as possible, what did you do with him, but you ended up stealing chickens and rice, and you want to rely on my brother and dream!" Gu Daya waved the soles of her shoes, and the soldiers waved their long knives, beating Peng Pearl with her head in her hands.

Two figures came in at the door, and Fang Ling said quickly: "Hey, how embarrassed are these two people to come here!" ”

Gu Xiaohua replied with a disdainful face: "Qingzhu they don't know yet, these two people learned the ability to reel silk in the Dexing Weaving Workshop, and went to the Changlong Weaving Workshop against the water, we were eighteen people, they were treacherous, how did our Gu Jiaao come out of this bad seed, and often teach others to scold, and we can't even hang on our faces!" ”

"If it weren't for you pressing all the way, how could we get to this point, Dexing doesn't treat us well, Changlong is even more oppressive, we have to live!" Gu Erni's eyes were red, and her originally yellowed face had turned into a blackened sauce red due to anger.

Gu Qingzhu scolded: "You are like this now, you are all self-made, no wonder others!" ”

"As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Gu Qingzhu, you wait, our account will be calculated slowly in the future!" Gu Erni said, didn't care about Peng Pearl, and took the door.

Peng Pearl looked at the soles of Gu Daya's hands, touched the wound on her arm, and ran away.
