Chapter 25: Own Arrangement
"Bai Ye, did you answer the question you asked me the day before yesterday?"
Qi Lichen looked at Bai Ye with indifferent eyes, Bai Ye's pupils opened slightly, and he sat down with a frown.
The interaction between them, the chair of the Monk Duyun Erzhang, was confused, and a series of question marks appeared on his head.
The shopkeeper carefully brought the mutton in his hand, put it down, bowed, and retreated without stopping for a moment.
Xi Duyu and the three of them shouted and slapped the table from the time they came in, so they were naturally regarded by default as characters who were not easy to mess with, and they would never stay far away.
"Don't look at him who usually pulls the ox cart without a proper line, but he is actually a nerd, and he doesn't pay attention to him when he looks at the number of rites."
Qi Lichen picked up the dagger and cut off a piece of meat for Xi Duyun, and also cut a piece for Bai Ye, who was flattered and didn't know how to take it.
Qi Lichen smiled and said, "What, this is for me to feed you personally?" β
Bai Ye's scalp was cold, and he hurriedly took the meat, and his heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and the five-flavor was mixed for a while.
Xi Duyun dipped the leek sauce, stuffed the mutton into his mouth, and chewed it with satisfaction.
This is the first bite of mutton she has eaten here, and as a mutton maniac, it is not easy for her.
"I plan to move my residence to the shop, but it's always inconvenient to run on both sides, and I can't take care of Xiaoyu."
Xi Duyun decided to open a shop in the county and had this plan, but he was too busy to forget about it a while ago.
"You decide your own business, you don't have to talk to me."
Qi Lichen's eating style is chewing and swallowing slowly, which is incompatible with Xi Duyun's large mouthful of meat, and he doesn't eat much after meditating in the white night.
Xi Duyun smiled and peeled the edamame clip and gave it to Qi Lichen.
"Our marriage has been decided, although I didn't say when we will get married, but you are my fiancΓ©, and if I want to move out, I can't see you every day, so I naturally want to talk to you."
Xi Duyun said these words very naturally, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, Bai Ye's face turned red, and he was almost choked to death by a mouthful of mutton.
Qi Lichen's eyes were stained with a smile, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sauce from the corner of Xi Duyun's mouth.
"Okay." He only has a good word, but it makes people feel that because of this word, it is worth it.
Xi Duyun suddenly understood why those kings in history would ride the red dust concubine and laugh, play the princes with the beacon fire, and make a mistake with their beauty!
When the group returned to Nancun, the sun was on the verge of setting, Xi Duyun said goodbye to Qi Lichen, and they hurried home.
The ginkgo tree at the door of the house is particularly bright in the sunset, and there is a small person sitting under the tree, and Aunt Liu stands in front of the door, waving to Xi Duyun from a distance.
"Yun girl, you are back, Xiaoyu, this girl is stubborn, I said that you go to the county to do business, she said that she would sit here for everything, saying that she would wait until you came back."
Aunt Liu was sweating and rubbing her hands constantly.
Xi Duyun asked her to help take care of Xi Duyu, but she didn't take care of her, and Aunt Liu was uneasy.
"Aunt Liu doesn't need to feel sorry for me, I can go out with peace of mind all because of Aunt Liu's help, this is the rice I carefully selected, sow it this year, and the harvest next year should be good." Xi Duyun picked up Xi Duyu, and this girl fell asleep like this.
Looking at the small half bag of rice, Aunt Liu's eyes were hot: "You girl, where can I buy such a good rice with the money I gave......
Aunt Liu is kind and willing to help people, but she has never asked for anything from anyone, which was the case when she helped Xi Duyun and them.
"Auntie accept it with peace of mind, just as I repay your kindness back then, thank you for your help today."
Xi Duyun persuaded again and again, and Aunt Liu took the rice back. Xi Duyun held her sister in her arms, as if she was holding cotton wool, and there was not much weight. Xi Duyu is also six years old this year, and he doesn't have a few taels of flesh on his body, so I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up to the wind.
Walking into the courtyard, Xi Duyu woke up, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and asked in a milky voice, "Sister, you're back." β
Because of the cold, Xi Duyu's voice was a little hoarse, Xi Duyun stuffed a piece of throat mint candy made by herself into her mouth, and said after a moment: "Xiaoyu, my sister plans to move to the county seat, and we will live in the city in the future, okay?" β
Moving is a family's business, although Xi Duyu is young, she may not understand many things, and she also has her reluctance.
Sure enough, Xi Duyu lowered her head and stopped talking, her cheeks bulging with sugar in her mouth, like an angry pufferfish. She is introverted and graceful, and she will not be angry about this matter, but there is some reluctance.
"Xiaoyu has to say what is in her heart before her sister knows what Xiaoyu is thinking, and Xiaoyu will not blame her sister for anything."
Xi Duyun slowed down her voice so as not to irritate her, Xi Duyu was a little nervous, and sometimes she cowered in front of Xi Duyun. Under Xi Duyun's comfort, Xi Duyu raised his head.
"Xiaoyu doesn't want to move away, my father and mother have never left the village, they only know here, if we leave, they won't be able to find us."
Xi Duyu said in a snort, his hand twisting his sleeves, very uneasy. Xi Duyun's nose was sour, and he held Xi Duyu in his arms.
When he first came to this world, Xi Duyun didn't complain. complained that he came to an unfamiliar place for some reason, and he was bitter in his previous life, and he traveled to another world without the life of a princess, and his life was still miserable.
It wasn't until one time that Xi Duyu had a nightmare and cried in fright, that Xi Duyun suddenly realized that if she hadn't come to this world, Xi Duiyun would have died like that, and Xi Duiyu's fate would have been very sad.
"If we don't leave, we will stay here, the road will be farther, the book does not say that reading thousands of books will travel thousands of miles, it is better to walk more."
The road to the county was not close, and Xi Duyun used the money she got from buying rock sugar gourds and sugar cane on the first day to hire someone to help her chop down the sugar cane and drag it to the store. The hired people are all the people in the village who have helped them, and as long as they have the most strength, they are all found, whether they are men or women.
The price given by Xi Duyun is considerable, so many people are willing to work hard, and Aunt Liu is more capable than men.
Chopping sugarcane and bundling sugarcane and running back and forth, he still has the strength at the end of the day, which surprised Xi Duyun.
After the official opening of the store, Xi Duyun made osmanthus brown sugar and bulk brown sugar in addition to sugarcane juice and rock sugar gourd.
The market of pruning sugarcane is also good, the front of the store is full of people all day long, Bai Ye was originally a bullock cart, and he was forced to become a bookkeeper, Qi Lichen is not very free, there is not much time to come, and the guests who come have to ask from time to time.
"It's tiring, but it's a joy to make money. White Night, can you let your cow go faster, like a snail? β
Xi Duyun spread a layer of cloth on the wooden planks of the ox cart, and took a cloth bag to pad his head, and on the way back to Nancun, he fell asleep like lying in a cradle bed.
"Girl, it's just a cow, not a horse, aren't you embarrassed about the cow, you are willing to buy a horse when you turn around, and you will run fast." Bai Ye glanced at Xi Duyun with disgust, she would enjoy it.
"No, horses can't run to death on such a bumpy road, but soon they won't have to run back and forth like this."
Xi Duyun yawned and lay on the ox cart, opening his eyes to the star-studded night, shaking Erlang's legs comfortably.
"Huh?" Bai Ye was so preoccupied that he didn't pay attention to what Xi Duyun said.
"It's okay, you concentrate on driving your ox cart." Xi Duyun patted the box containing the money next to him, there are many ways to eat sugarcane, and the big profit is expected by Xi Duyun, but he didn't expect that there will be more than a dozen taels a day.
The family's fields must always be taken care of, and Xiaoyu also needs someone to accompany her, so she can't always be left with Aunt Liu.
When we returned to the entrance of the village, two middle-aged men walked across the path, one carrying a lantern and the other with his shoulders hunched and his hands tucked into his sleeves.
"Have you heard, Xi Lao'er's family, who were driven out of the village by the village chief before, is dead!"
