After a busy day, finally, after seeing off the last group of guests, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and had a chance to take a break for a while.

"Finally, there are no guests coming, I have been staying here all day, I am really tired, and it seems that grandpa has not been so busy when he is here."

Yingying collapsed directly on the counter, not moving, and her voice was a little weak, it seemed that she was really tired.

Everyone looked at her carelessness, shook their heads helplessly, and continued to clean up the mess on the table.

The guests were sent away, but the rest still needed to be cleaned up by them, and Biyue and Xie An worked hard to clean up the rest of the mess.

Mu Yu went to the counter to look at the account book, today's income is very good, it is one of the few times when the turnover is relatively high since the opening of the restaurant.

"Today's income is good, everyone has worked hard, and the New Year is approaching, I decided, this afternoon to give everyone a holiday, everyone to rest, by the way, also go shopping, see if there is anything you want to buy, I will give everyone twenty taels of silver, which is also considered the reward for everyone's hard work during this time."

Thanks to the support of Master Sun and his housekeeper for their business, they have survived that difficult time, and now their business is not bad every day, their income is considerable, and Mu Yu is not greedy, so she has exceeded her original goal.

This is also thanks to these little helpers to help her run the restaurant, so there will be such results, thinking that the New Year is about to come, and everyone has not rested during this time, so they took a half-day off, let them also go out for a walk, feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year here.

In the past few days, there have been a lot more shouting outside than before, and the flow of people has also increased a lot, which makes me feel extraordinarily lively, and it is time to give myself a holiday and a good rest.

Mu Yu has always been relatively open-minded, thinking that it was the first time for everyone to celebrate the New Year in Mucheng, and there were more novelties, so he directly rewarded everyone with twenty taels of silver in addition to their salary, so that they could buy what they liked.

"Really? Are you sure? Did I hear me right? Boss, can you even think of giving us a half-day off? ”

When Yingying heard the word "holiday", her originally godless eyes instantly lit up, and she asked in disbelief.

Then he quickly realized that his tone was wrong, and immediately added: "Boss, you are really too open-minded, I love you to death, and grandpa will close the store at this time in previous years and take me out to play." ”

Mucheng is the most lively in the past few days near the New Year, in previous years, grandpa will also close the store and take her out to play, as long as she likes it, grandpa will definitely buy it for her, never stingy.

It's just that this year, grandpa didn't survive the torture of illness and left her, and she couldn't run this small shop anymore, so she had to close it.

Ying Ying said that her mood was a little low, she missed her grandfather, and she thought that she didn't seem to have seen her grandfather for a long time.

"Yingying, don't be sad, Aqing will go with you to play this year."

Ah Qing realized that Yingying was a little sad when she thought about her grandfather, so she offered to accompany her by herself.

Don't look at Ah Qing who looks stupid on weekdays and reacts a little slowly, but as long as it is about Yingying, he can always find out for the first time that he spent the most difficult time with Yingying when his grandfather died.

"That's right, Yingying, there are all of us with you this year, we can go out together, I haven't seen the atmosphere of Mucheng for the New Year."

Biyue also comforted when she saw this.

Don't look at Yingying, this girl usually looks very aggressive, in fact, sometimes her mind is more delicate, and she lost her only relative at such a young age, she is quite distressed.

"Well, I'm fine, just a little miss grandpa, I can just take you to visit in a while, Mucheng can be lively during the New Year, a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be many vendors here, there are a lot of fun and delicious things, guaranteed to let you eat enough and have enough."

Yingying saw that everyone was comforting her, and her heart suddenly warmed a lot, and she quickly adjusted her emotions and began to talk about some more fun and delicious things.

Maybe it's because she's younger and better protected by her grandfather, this girl's mood comes and goes quickly, and soon she smiles again, talking about some interesting things on the street, and everyone can't help but be attracted.

With expectations, the efficiency of the work is also much higher, and several people quickly said that the restaurant was clean and neat, as if no one had ever come.

"Alright, you guys pack up and go shopping, but be sure to be safe."

Mu Yu said like a big parent.

Xie An has always disliked the excitement and did not follow. Only Biyue, Yingying and Aqing went out happily.

"Rumor, if you want to go out too, I'll go shopping with you."

After everyone left, Xie Chongning said.

Obviously, Mu Yu is not much different in age from them, but every time he is always very sensible and very mature, many things in many times are not at all like what he can think of at this age, and the degree of calm and rationality is not at all like that of seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.

"It's okay, I also want to see the atmosphere of the New Year in Mucheng, it looks really lively outside."

Looking at the lively scene outside, Mu Yu was actually very moved, and Xie Chongning said this, which just followed her wishes.

In her previous life, because of her health, she had never been to such a lively place many times, but now she has this opportunity to feel a different kind of excitement, and she really wants to see it.

In fact, if Xie Chongning didn't say it, she would have mentioned it, during this time, Xie Chongning has been accompanying her in the restaurant, and rarely goes out, she is worried that the knot of the previous depreciation has not been untied, so she wants to go to the lively street market outside with him to relax.

The reason why I didn't go with Biyue and them just now was because I was afraid that with those two little girls, Xie Chongning would not feel very comfortable, and when I was just thinking about whether to say it, Xie Chongning seemed to see through her thoughts and took the lead in mentioning it.

"Then Brother Xie, you wait for me first, I'll go get something and we'll go."

Mu Yu thought of the gift she had prepared for Xie Chongning before, so she thought about taking it to him together.

"Well, go ahead, I'll wait for you."

Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yu's very mysterious smile, and there was a faint expectation in his heart, and he watched her go away with a doting face.

Soon, Mu Yu came out with his things, walked quickly to Xie Chongning, and took out the things he was carrying behind him.

"Brother Xie, this is for you, it is said that you can always be safe and smooth by wearing this peace charm, I hope you can always be safe and sound, smooth and smooth, let those who have passed."

Mu Yu handed one of the peace charms to Xie Chongning, and his bright cheeks were full of sincerity and expectation.

Xie Chongning looked at the bright and moving little woman in front of him, his eyes were full of sincerity and expectation, and he was a little moved in his heart.

After a long time, he moved his thin lips and answered softly.

"Okay."

After finishing speaking, Xie Chongning's eyes were hot and gentle, looking at Mu Yu, everything was silent.

"Brother Xie, you can put it on now."

Mu Yu couldn't bear Xie Chongning's naked and undisguised eyes, coughed lightly, and said a little uncomfortably.

"You can put it on for me, it will be more effective."

Xie Chongning said and handed the peace talisman in his hand to Mu Yu's hand, his eyes waiting for her action with great anticipation.

Mu Yu was originally going to refuse, but after seeing the expectation in Xie Chongning's eyes, he felt a little unbearable, so he quickly tied it around his waist and tied the other one to his body.

"Alright, let's go now."

After speaking, without waiting for Xie Chongning's reaction, he walked out directly.

Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yu's back, laughed lowly, and walked out behind Mu Yu.

On the other side, the servants were having a lot of fun, and Aqing's hands were full of gadgets bought by the two.

Yingying happened to see a place selling all kinds of small lamps not far away, and she saw one of the rabbit lanterns, which her grandfather used to buy for her, and she went straight to that direction without thinking about it.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the streets were crowded with people, and soon, Yingying was out of Biyue and Aqing's sight, and by the time the two realized it, they couldn't see anyone anymore.

Ying Ying just walked up to the vendor, and before she could squeeze in, she felt an extra handkerchief on her mouth, and then, the whole person lost consciousness.

Soon, Yingying had an extra hat on her head, and she quickly disappeared into the sea of people.

When Biyue and Aqing found it, they only saw a white hat disappearing around the corner.

It was Ah Qing who found the hairpin that Ying Ying often wore on her head on the street corner, and then she thought of the white hat just now and realized that Ying Ying had been taken away.

Seeing this, Biyue hurriedly took the overwhelmed Aqing back to the restaurant to find Mu Yu and Xie Chongning.

When I went back, I didn't see the two of them unexpectedly, only Xie An was there, and Biyue told Xie An all this.

The situation was urgent, and Xie An directly used signal flares, which was the fastest way.

Soon, Mu Yu and Xie Chongning rushed back, and when they learned that Yingying was missing, Xie Chongning's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing the problem, and after appeasing Mu Yu, he took Xie An to the study.

Then, Ah Qing walked in with a small note in his hand.

"If you want to see Yingying, come to the thatched house a mile outside the city. Remember, you can't let Xie Chongning know, otherwise, you don't want to see her. ”

After reading the note, Mu Yu quickly put it away, returned to his room, took a dagger, and left a note on the dresser.

"Biyue, I'll go out first, and I'll come back in a while, you go and take Aqing to rest first, prepare dinner, and I'll come back to eat later."

After settling in, I hurried to the place where the note was written.

On the way outside the city, Mu Yu deliberately marked it, just in case.

After arriving at the thatched hut, there was no Yingying's figure, Mu Yu looked around cautiously, took out the dagger he had prepared earlier, pushed open the door of the thatched hut, and walked in.
