Chapter Seventy-Five: The Drunk

Xue Shi moved the noodles to the flatbed truck that had just been pushed over, and after greeting Qiao Ruyi, he pushed it outside.

Aunt Xue, can you push so much?

Qiao Ruyi asked with some concern.

If you can push it, you can't push it, it's all flat ground along the way, and it's effortless to push it.

Xue said with a smile on his face, with a look of indifference:

I'm leaving-

As he spoke, he pushed the flatbed cart and hurried away.

Qiao Ruyi saw it and couldn't help but smile and said:

Aunt Xu, you see that Aunt Xue is getting more and more energetic now.

No, it's exciting to look at her like that.

Xu Shi listened and said.

Qiao Ruyi stood in the courtyard for a while, and then said:

Aunt Xu, come on, let's move the noodles to the front shop.

Hey, hey, let's go.

Xu Shi answered, and walked to the kitchen with Qiao Ruyi.

Sister Ruyi, mother, I'll help you.

The eldest girl watched from the side, hurriedly wiped her hands on the corners of her clothes, and stepped forward to say.

Qiao Ruyi looked at it and said with a smile:

The big girl is really hardworking.

Our eldest girl is a diligent person, and there is life in her eyes,

Xu Shi saw that Qiao Ruyi was saying good things about the eldest girl, and he also hurriedly said.

The eldest girl was a little embarrassed to be said by the two of them.

Qiao Ru agreed, and said with a smile:

Come on, let's move the pasta to the front shop for your mother.

When the eldest girl heard this, her heart moved, this was the first time Qiao Ruyi ordered her to work, and she hurriedly said:

Sister Ruyi, thank you, I will definitely do a good job.

Qiao Ruyi smiled at the eldest girl and said:

Alright, let's go inside.

Hey, the eldest girl agreed again and again, went in with Qiao Ruyi, and the three of them moved the pasta to the shop together and put it away.

Xu stayed in the shop to watch the shop, and Qiao Ruyi took the eldest girl back to the yard together. The eldest girl then did the laundry.

Big girl, have you eaten? Come and have a bite to eat with us.

Qiao Ru thought that Qiao Ruxin and Qiao Laixing came out of the back room, beckoned the two of them to eat, turned their heads and saw the big girl, so they beckoned the big girl to come to eat.

Sister Ruyi, no need, I ate at home, and I'm not hungry at all now.

The eldest girl rubbed her clothes with her hands, and looked up and said to Qiao Ruyi.

That's okay, you don't have to be in a hurry, just do it slowly.

Qiao Ruyi instructed again.

Hey, I know Sister Ruyi, go eat it.

The eldest girl wiped the beads of sweat from her head and said with a smile.

Qiao Ruyi nodded, and came to the kitchen with Qiao Laixing and Qiao Ruxin, Qiao Laixing and Qiao Ruxin washed their faces, and Qiao Ruyi brought the cooked rice out of the pot.

Qiao Ruxin washed her face, wiped it with a towel, came to Qiao Ruyi's side, and brought the food to the dining table. The three of them gathered around the table to eat, and after eating, Qiao Ruyi sent Qiao Laixing out, and when she came back, she saw that the eldest girl was drying clothes, and Qiao Ruyi stepped forward to help her dry her clothes together.

When the eldest girl saw it, she hurriedly said:

Sister Ruyi, you don't have to stretch out your hand, I'll come, I'm used to doing these things, and I'll get it done soon.

Qiao Ruyi listened, smiled and said:

Okay, you can do it yourself, don't be busy, just take your time, we don't have much work here, mainly to make a fire with me, and to wash clothes, clean the yard, and there is nothing else to do.

Hey, I know Sister Ruyi, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it well, I often do this at home.

The eldest girl's subordinates didn't stop and said to Qiao Ruyi. Qiyin

Okay, you dry your clothes, I'll make pasta, and when you're done drying your clothes, you'll come and make a fire for me, and I'll go to the kitchen first.

Qiao Ruyi said with a smile.

I know, Sister Ruyi, I'll go to the kitchen to make a fire after I'm done with this.

The big girl hurriedly agreed.

Qiao Ruyi nodded and walked to the kitchen, and as soon as she walked to the kitchen, she saw Qiao Ruxin holding a bowl with millet and a handful of millet grains in her hand

Sister, I took a small plate of millet and planned to feed the chickens.

Qiao Nina said

If you are good, go quickly.

Qiao Ruxin nodded and walked outside, Qiao Ruyi smiled, washed her hands and began to make peace. was busy, and suddenly remembered a burst of noise outside, mixed with the voice of a strange man, Qiao Ruyi hurriedly wiped his hands and came out.

Sister, there was a quarrel outside.

Qiao Ru ran to the kitchen in a hurry, and Qiao Ruyi, who almost bumped into it, said in his mouth.

Where's the big girl?

Qiao Ruyi came to the courtyard and saw that the eldest girl was not in the yard, so she asked Qiao Ruxin.

Qiao Nina replied:

The eldest sister went to the front shop.

Let's go and see.

After Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, he pulled Qiao Ruxin and walked forward.

The sound of this quarrel came from the shop in front, Qiao Ruyi pulled Qiao Ruxin and walked forward, and saw a drunk man standing in front of the shop, muttering in his mouth, this is someone to make trouble, Qiao Ruyi thought of this, came to Liu's side, and asked:

Aunt Liu, what's going on?

Qiao Ruyi said and looked at the drunk man in front of the counter, this man's face was red and his eyes were half-open.

Qiao Ruxin was a little scared, and pulled the corner of Qiao Ruyi's clothes tightly.

What's the matter, Aunt Xu, you don't have anything to do.

Qiao Ruyi asked again.

Ruyi, I'm fine, this- there's nothing wrong here, you go back.

When Xu Shi saw Qiao Ruyi come out, he seemed to be a little reluctant to let her see the situation here, and begged her to go back with pleading in his tone.

How can Qiao Ruyi go back in this situation now, Qiao Ruyi was a little confused when he saw the man in front of him, so he said:

This guest officer, if you don't buy something, let's go, we still have to do business, if you don't leave, I'll go to report to the official.

You-what did you say, report to the officer, what did I do I, you, you—

The man's face turned a little redder and he argued with Qiao Ruyi.

Don't be like this, this is wishful thinking--

Xu Shi listened and said hurriedly.

Dad, what are you doing, why don't you go back soon, grandma still needs someone to take care of her at home.

The eldest girl stood beside Xu Shi and urged.

What the-

Qiao Ruyi froze when she heard the names of Xu's and the eldest girl, the man in front of her was Xu's man, the eldest girl's father?

Xu's face was already shy, and said:

Ruyi, this is my family, the eldest girl's father, he drank too much today, and he is a little unconscious, don't take it to heart.

The man glanced at Qiao Ruyi with wide eyes, then lowered his eyelids and leaned against the wall, humming as if he was going to sleep.

Xu Shi pleaded again:

Ruyi, you go to the backyard, I am here, you can rest assured that I will drive him away in a while, and it will not delay our business.

Sister Ruyi, you can go back first, there is me and my mother here, you can rest assured.

The eldest girl also said.

Since this man and them are a family, then leave it to them to deal with, Qiao Ruyi thought, and looked at the man in front of him again, this man was drunk early in the morning, and he was a little helpless in his heart, so he said:

Aunt Xu, big girl, we still have to do business, he-

Qiao Ruyi didn't know what to call it, so he pointed to the man in front of him and said,

Let the guest look unpresentable, let's hurry up and let him go.
