Chapter 223: A Little Country Shop

Gu Nanyin was stunned when she heard this, she rushed to Huo Beixiao's side and looked at him with serious eyes.

"Did you come up with another idea?"

Huo Beixiao shook his head calmly.

"No, I just want to take you out for a walk."

Gu Nanyin's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"But in this case, I have to ask Mr. Chen for leave again."

Huo Beixiao pursed his lips indifferently.

"That's your own business, not mine."

Gu Nanyin sighed, and couldn't help but be enveloped in tangled distress in her heart.

"Can you tell me where you're going?"

Huo Beixiao got up and replied in a casual tone while getting dressed.

"You'll know when you get there."

Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly, she had long expected the other party to say this. Huo Beixiao is really "upright", and he doesn't give a chance to reveal any superfluous clues.

After eating breakfast, Huo Beixiao got into the car and waited for Gu Nanyin to come out of the house. After ten minutes, I saw Gu Nanyin, who was originally with a heavy face, changed into a relaxed look. This relaxed emotion is linked to the pace, and it has become much lighter.

Seeing that the woman was doing a good job in the co-pilot's seat, Huo Beixiao opened his mouth and asked.

"Have you taken a leave of absence?"

Gu Nanyin smiled and nodded.

"Please. I have to say that Mr. Chen is still very understanding. I barely explained before he granted my request. ”

Huo Beixiao sneered after hearing this.

"He knew you were going out with me, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so happily."

Gu Nanyin looked unconvinced.

"Huo Beixiao, you take yourself too seriously, right? Although Mr. Chen respects you very much, he has not yet reached the point where he even has to look at your face when approving leave for employees. ”

Huo Beixiao started the car and responded with a frosty face.

"I don't argue with much, you can ask him when you have time to see if I'm right."

Gu Nanyin smiled bitterly.

"How do I ask? You're too unreasonable. ”

Huo Beixiao snorted.

"There's no need to reason with you, because you are me, and I am you."

Caught off guard, Gu Nanyin never expected such a sentence to pop out of Huo Beixiao's mouth at this time. After being stunned for two seconds, Gu Nanyin twisted his head to the other side and couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.

The car gradually moved away from the city and finally drove on a county road. On both sides of the road are rolling hills, neat farmland, and thick green vegetation, this picture full of vitality makes Gu Nanyin feel comfortable.

"Beixiao, did you live in the countryside when you were a child?"

Huo Beixiao shook his head.

"Never."

Gu Nanyin asked.

"But you told me that there are a few country houses on the outskirts of your house. Those houses should not be far from the village, right? ”

Huo Beixiao nodded slightly.

"You have to say that, I did live in the village for a while. But let's be honest, real country life can be a daunting challenge for those of us who live in the city. ”

Gu Nanyin smiled.

"Then you once said that you would retire to the countryside with me, is it true?"

Huo Beixiao was solemn.

"Really. Finding a quiet place to live in seclusion is much better than breathing in car exhaust all day in the city. ”

Gu Nanyin put away her smile, and her expression became thoughtful.

"But if that's the case, it's not convenient for us to meet with our children. They are all willing to stay in the city and work hard. ”

Huo Beixiao sneered.

"You think so much. I tell you, keeping a distance from children is very important for the elderly. If they are around you all day as if nothing happened, you won't feel anything other than upset. ”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin's expression couldn't help but be a little complicated.

That is to say...... My parents think the same way you say now? ”

Huo Beixiao said four words casually.

"Pretty much."

Gu Nanyin sighed deeply, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

The car continued to move forward, and after running for a morning, it had already run out of the boundary of City A. At lunchtime, Huo Beixiao parked his car at the door of a village restaurant.

"Let's go, let's eat."

After throwing down this sentence, Huo Beixiao got out of the car by himself. For Gu Nanyin, who followed him, this was the first time she had eaten at a restaurant in the village, and her strong curiosity drove her into this small storefront.

There are only six tables in the entire store, and five of them are already occupied by customers. There was a table where the guests happened to have just finished eating, so they made room for Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin.

Busy at the front desk was a gray-haired old lady, who was very enthusiastic to serve Huo Beixiao and them tea and water, and asked the guests what they wanted to eat.

Huo Beixiao didn't look at the recipe, but directly clicked to the point.

"Old man, I heard that your mutton soup here is delicious, please bring us a bowl. Then just take a few white flour steamed buns. ”

The old lady nodded respectfully in agreement, and turned to the back kitchen.

Gu Nanyin turned around and asked in a low voice.

"You took me all this far, it wasn't just to take a sip of mutton soup, did you?"

Huo Beixiao smiled mysteriously.

"You'll find out later."

After a while, two bowls of steaming mutton soup appeared in front of the two people. The translucent soup and tender mutton suddenly made Gu Nanyin, who was already a little hungry, have a great appetite. She drank the soup and ate the meat at the same time, not to mention how much she enjoyed it.

"How? Tastes okay, right? ”

Facing Huo Beixiao's question, Gu Nanyin couldn't stop praising herself.

"This mutton soup is so delicious! I'll say something irresponsible, I'm afraid there is no such delicious mutton soup in the whole city of A! ”

Huo Beixiao took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded lightly while chewing.

Halfway through Gu Nanyin's second bowl, she whispered to Huo Beixiao.

"You should really talk to the owner of this store and ask him to open the branch in City A. I bet that if they open in City A, they will make a lot of money in less than half a year! ”

Huo Beixiao sneered faintly.

"Do you think no one has advised them? It's just that no matter how many times I suggested, the boss resolutely declined. ”

Gu Nanyin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why? Isn't it a good thing to get more people to drink this soup in order to make a bigger profit? ”

Huo Beixiao's expression became serious.

"Maintaining an exclusive store is the business strategy of this store. Some things lose their original color and vibrancy when they are far away from their homeland. Many companies with good prospects are dying suddenly on the way because of blind expansion. This kind of lesson should be learned. ”

Gu Nanyin nodded helplessly, she could understand Huo Beixiao's statement, but she couldn't help but feel regretful.

"It's a shame that I can't drink such a good soup at my doorstep!"

Huo Beixiao smiled slightly.

"If you want to drink, I'll bring you again, with me, everywhere is the doorstep."

Gu Nanyin's face was slightly red, if the mutton soup made her stomach warm, then Huo Beixiao's words made her heart full of sunshine.

After eating and settling the bill, the two walked out of the restaurant.
