Ma Pinyuan was about to get into the car when he heard someone calling him in the distance, so he stopped. The person who came was his cousin Ma Mingxin, who was originally guarding the tea mountain for him, "Is there something wrong with the tea mountain?" Ma Pinyuan asked.

"It's not that there is something wrong in Chashan, but the family in the city, when the sky is not yet dawn, I sent someone to look for you in Chashan, I didn't find anyone, and I wanted to disturb the uncle, I stopped me, you go back quickly, the Xia family is here, it is said that it is..." Ma Mingxin was about to say when he was pulled into the carriage by Ma Pinyuan, "It's too late, let's talk about it on the road!" ”

It turned out that it was because of the news that the Xia family sent someone to bring back last time, and the people below did not hide it, and it reached the ears of the old man who had not done anything for many years in the Xia family. Old Man Xia was furious and said that he would immediately come to the Ma family to find out what had happened in the past few years, and how the Xia family's good business had become like this.

When the current head of the Xia family, Xia Zhongda, heard the news and didn't care about the jade news he was talking about, he immediately rushed over, wanting to force the Ma family to promote this year's tea business before the old man Xia arrived.

Yesterday night, Xia Zhongda had arrived at Ma's house, but he never saw Ma Bin, shouting that he must see someone today. The shopkeeper of the family saw that the situation could no longer be delayed, so he asked his men to go to the mountains early in the morning to look for Ma Pinyuan.

Ma Pinyuan had no choice but to ask Ah Wu to drive a car to drop them off a hundred meters away from the family's mansion, and he and his cousin quietly entered through the back door, and asked the shopkeeper Xiao to wait in Ma Pinyuan's room.

When he saw the shopkeeper Xiao, Ma Pinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, although he had heard it from his father in advance, and this time he had to face the anger of the Xia family, but he didn't expect it to be so menacing, although his father would come after a while, but he was still a little stage frightened. The three of them got together to discuss the countermeasures after that, and then they divided into three ways and started to act.

The last time Ma Pinyuan saw Xia Zhongda was five years ago, that year, his father held a coming-of-age ceremony for himself and began to expose himself to family affairs, the first person he saw was this Uncle Xia, who was taller than ordinary people, and the polite words he said that day have been forgotten, only the sense of oppression has remained in his heart.

This meeting was inevitable, and last night it turned things like that, Ma Pinyuan didn't want to continue to do these things that his father had told him, he just wanted to go to the workshop under the tea mountain to stay, be an ordinary tea farmer, and really want to escape.

After Ma Pinyuan finished washing, Shopkeeper Xiao had already brought over the breakfast, and showed the same expression as Ma Pinyuan. Shopkeeper Xiao was only invited to Ma's house by Ma Bin in the past few years, and he has been doing some things to deal with his family, and taking care of his family's house, saying that he is the shopkeeper, but in fact, he is more like a housekeeper.

This shopkeeper Xiao has been in charge of the tea shop outside the Ma family before, and he has never been in contact with this kind of business talk at all. Ma Bin has been taking care of it for a few years here, and he has done some chores, but at the end of last year, when the Ma family had a banquet, he was suddenly called over by Ma Bin and said that everything would be asked this year.

But I'm also in my forties, and I've seen a lot of big scenes, so it's naturally much better than Ma Pinyuan, but I just want to show my strength and don't allow myself to make mistakes, which adds a little inexplicable pressure to myself.

"Everything in the house has been arranged, and this time there will be no such thing as the last time outsiders rushed in." Shopkeeper Xiao said first.

"I also went to see the guest room, Xia Dang's family hasn't gotten up yet, these days are tiring, it is estimated that I will wait for a while to get up, the kitchen has been arranged, and when Xia Dangjia comes together, please go to dinner first."

"The young master should also eat some first, and then I will have the strength to hold on until the master comes down the mountain."

"Uncle Xiao, it's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that when I think of this Xia Dang, my heart is hairy, I am not the material for this business, and it is better for my father to hand over this matter to Ma Mingxin than me." After Ma Pinyuan pulled the shopkeeper Xiao to the table to eat together, he was like a deflated ball hanging on the table.

"Young master, don't say that, although Young Master Mingxin is raised in his own family, he is also temporarily raised, and when he grows up, he still has to go to live in a foreign house, and he still needs to inherit the shop in his family. Young master, you also have what you should do, when the old man just took over the tea house, the high spirits spread all over the foreign family, and at that time, I was still working as a primary apprentice in the foreign family...."The shopkeeper Xiao completely immersed himself in the grand scene of the year.

"Come on, come on, don't talk about it, I'm more stressed. I should say something in the first sentence. Ma Pinyuan tried to compare with the players, but he didn't raise his spirits.

At this time, a guy outside the door said, "Young master, shopkeeper Xiao, Master Xia is getting up." ”

Shopkeeper Xiao got up and bowed his head slightly to Ma Pinyuan, "Then I'll go." ”

Ma Pinyuan waved his hand, propped up his body and began to eat, no matter what, this matter today cannot be shirked, before my father goes down the mountain, I still have to catch the anger of this Xia family, besides, we sell tea to him, purely to give them the Xia family's face, we are the one who is not satisfied, I don't have to be afraid of him at all, just wait for him to come.

After Ma Pinyuan finished eating, he wiped his face with a towel, calmed down, went to the main hall and waited, sat on the right side of the gate according to the rules, and went to brush the dust of his father's position with his sleeve, and then came back and continued to sit with peace of mind.

After a while, a few people came outside, and although the face of the person who walked in front was very unfamiliar, Ma Pinyuan knew that it was the Xia Dangjia who had been in the past year, and he should be called Uncle Xia.

The man got closer, and Ma Pinyuan realized that this person was not very tall, and he had added a bit of a hunchback in recent years, but the eyes were still so unlikable, like a mouse.

"Uncle Xia, it was really rude last night, my father is still recuperating in the mountains due to illness, and this season on the tea mountain is inseparable from people, even so, Uncle Xia should not be neglected, they are all juniors." Ma Pinyuan got up and walked a few steps, and bowed his head in the door to show that he was not.

When I looked up, I found that Shopkeeper Xiao was also inside, thinking that I was still too nervous, Shopkeeper Xiao was supposed to accompany the meal, so I simply made an invitation gesture and stopped talking.

"Big nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're already so old, the last time I came, you were still a little bit, you had to go to the tea mountain to play, and you came back covered in mud and were beaten by your father." Xia Zhongda laughed heartily as he spoke, and the entourage behind him had to laugh awkwardly, only the shopkeeper Xiao's face was very ugly, and he buried his head lower.

Ma Pinyuan thought to himself, he still looks down on people so much, it's really the same as five years ago, on the surface, it looks like a reminiscence, but as long as he thinks about it, he is saying that he is still a yellow-haired boy and is not worthy of being on an equal footing with him, and when he hasn't talked about anything, he has been degraded a little. Ma Pin is far from an unbeliever, if you say I am not worthy, then I will be worthy.

"Uncle Xia, look at what you said, it's been more than five years since you last visited, even a young shoot should become a great backbone, how can I not work hard to become a towering tree like Uncle Xia. Shopkeeper Xiao hurriedly invited Uncle Xia to take a seat, and the VIP couldn't be lazy. As he spoke, he glanced at Shopkeeper Xiao.

Shopkeeper Xiao was shocked at first, but he didn't expect Ma Pinyuan to be able to say such a prickly word, showing a relieved look, so he nodded in response, and invited Xia Zhongda to come into the house and sit down, and went to ask the guy to prepare some tea.
