Cheng Xi was speechless when he heard this thin man finish speaking, guarding such a big restaurant, his life has actually become like this, look at the bones, are you embarrassed to say that she is a restaurant shopkeeper?

Just looking at everyone like this, Cheng Xi could only open his mouth and comfort, "It's really hard for you, is your son okay now?" ”

The thin man wiped his eyes again and answered, "Lying in the house, hey, look at the old slave who is confused, seeing the owner patronizing and excited, he forgot to pour tea for the owner, a few people will find a place to sit first, and the old slave will go to boil water." ”

Cheng Xi didn't refuse, and let the old slave be busy boiling water, and then the few of them went to sit down on the clean table that the guards had cleaned up.

After sitting down, Cheng Xi couldn't help but speak, "This old man is too honest, and he is still guarding this restaurant after living like this." ”

Xu Sanlang opened his mouth to explain for Cheng Xi, "He is a domestic slave, a slave person, without the permission of the master's family, where dare to leave without permission, and if he leaves, he will dare to take them in." ”

Cheng Xi opened his mouth and said, "I'm not saying that he can leave, but such a big restaurant is there, no matter what, he can't let himself live in such a mess, the tables, chairs and benches in this restaurant are smashed and sold, and he won't be so hungry that he is only left with skin and bones." ”

The group listened to Cheng Xi's words, but they all pretended not to hear them, and they didn't speak to express their opinions, and it was really Cheng Xi's words that made them not know how to take it, it was wrong to criticize her for thinking like this, for fear that she would be unhappy, if you want to say that you agree with what she said, several people really can't open their mouths.

Cheng Xi saw that none of the people paid attention to his words, so he could only purse his mouth and stop talking about this topic.

At this time, Xu Sanlang opened his mouth and said to Ah Yi on the side, "You go and see if you can live in this restaurant, if you can live, we will live here, if you can't live, let's go find an inn." ”

Ah Yi nodded in response, and went to the restaurant to wander around to investigate.

When Ah Yi left, Cheng Xin couldn't wait to ask, "When are we going to see my uncle?" ”

Cheng Xi looked at Cheng Xin's eager expression, and looked in the direction of Ah Yi from time to time, and knew that Cheng Xin must be worried that Ah Yi would be unhappy when he heard it, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart and answered, "At this time today, I definitely can't go, I have to wait for tomorrow." ”

Xu Sanlang opened his mouth and said, "You can go wherever you want in the barracks, I will send Ah Yi over and inform General Xue Xiao, and General Xue Xiao will naturally come to see us." ”

Cheng Xin said with a hesitant expression, "That, can you not send Ah Yi over?" ”

Xu Sanlang ignored the hesitation on Cheng Xin's face, and simply responded directly, "I'm not at ease when others go." ”

Cheng Xin didn't speak anymore and lowered his head.

Cheng Xi saw her like this, and was about to open her mouth to enlighten her, but she didn't want Ah Yi to come here, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

Ah Yi came over, sat down next to Cheng Xin, and answered, "There are guest rooms upstairs, they are all empty, you can live after cleaning up." ”

Xu Saburo nodded and responded, "Okay, just stay here, you go and clean up." ”

Ah Yi, who had just come down, heard that the master had let him go up again, so he stood up and walked upstairs very resentfully, and Ah Wu and the other two guards also followed behind Ah Yi.

I didn't want Xu Saburo to stand up and say to Cheng Xi, "You guys rest here for a while, and I'll go and help clean up." ”

After speaking, Xu Sanlang glanced at Cheng Xi with a slightly meaningful look, the tacit understanding that he had developed with Xu Sanlang over the years, Cheng Xi instantly understood, Xu Sanlang must have seen that he and his sister Cheng Xin had something to say, so he separated everyone.

After a few people left, only Cheng Xi and Cheng Xin were left sitting at the table, Cheng Xi looked at the poor shopkeeper and brought a tray to this side, but he didn't speak.

The shopkeeper brought the tray to the table where the two were sitting, poured a cup of boiling water for each of them, and said very embarrassedly, "There is no tea, the two proprietors will drink some boiled water first, this cup is safe to use, the old slave has boiled it in water, it must be clean." ”

Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "It's hard work, my father-in-law and they went to clean up the place where they lived, and you can go up and help take a look." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and left, and only Cheng Xi and Cheng Xin were left at the table again, and Cheng Xi whispered, "Have you told Ah Yi your heart?" ”

Cheng Xin was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a slightly red face.

Cheng Xi sighed helplessly, and said, "Sure enough, it's a fan of the authorities, your intentions, we outsiders can see it, but this Ah Yi is afraid that he has been going around in circles all the time, thinking that you still have another purpose for approaching him, you should still talk to him about this matter, don't let the misunderstanding between the two people accumulate more and more." ”

Cheng Xin's face was slightly red, and he looked up at Cheng Xi in a little surprise, "This me, what do you want me to say?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Of course, I told him that you didn't have another purpose for being close to him!" Could it be that your proximity to him is really someone else's purpose? ”

Cheng Xin blushed, lowered her head and stammered, "At the beginning, it was at the beginning, but it wasn't anymore." ”

Cheng Xi responded, "That's it, you explain it to him well, you look at his recent situation, obviously this matter has become a knot in his heart." ”

Cheng Xin said puzzledly, "How could it be because of this?" Wasn't everything fine before? Why did he become like this after he was still in Huai'an? ”

Cheng Xi said, "Of course, it's because you came to see your little uncle, and the pimple in his heart is probably the thing that you are thinking about revenge." He probably didn't understand your heart for him all the time, and only felt that you were close to him just because you wanted to take advantage of him. ”

Cheng Xin said in a low voice, "Then he has always been so good to me." ”

Cheng Xi said, "That's because he understands his heart for you, even if he thinks that you are using him, he still wants to be good to you." ”

Cheng Xin heard Cheng Xi's words, and said with a slight emotion, "Really? ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Is it true, you have to ask him yourself, I just guessed, but it should be eight or nine or ten." This sudden change may be because you are uneasy, you may be worried that you will see your little uncle and let your little uncle help you take revenge, and you don't even want to use him anymore. ”

Cheng Xin said with red eyes, "I want to avenge my mother, and I also want him to avenge me, but I am good to him, I really don't want to use him, and as you said, no matter what, the little uncle is also a member of the Xue family, and I won't ask the little uncle for revenge." ”

Cheng Xi sighed and responded, "Don't worry, Xu Sanlang will find a way to do this, although I have no impression of my mother with ......, but she is also my own mother, and I would rather go back to the Xue family to be imprisoned for me and my brother, I will not sit idly by." ”

Cheng Xin's eyes were slightly red and he looked at Cheng Xi, and shouted softly, "Xi'er......"

Cheng Xi stretched out her hand and patted Cheng Xin's shoulder, at this moment she was more like a sister, enlightening her confused sister, "You will stay in Lihua Village in the future, be a teacher, live a good life with Ah Yi, and wait for the restaurant to get up, and then follow Ah Yi to take care of the restaurant, so it's good, don't think about the rest anymore." The Xue family, it's not something you and I can deal with, you just need to explain to Ah Yi clearly, the two of them don't have a gap between each other, this matter of the Xue family, he will naturally deal with it with my family's San Lang. ”

Cheng Xin lowered his head and whispered, "But how do I speak?" ”

Cheng Xi also hesitated, how to speak? Let Cheng Xin tell Ah Yi that she actually likes Ah Yi? I definitely can't say this, don't talk about Cheng Xin, even if it was her, I guess I'm embarrassed to speak, right?

Cheng Xi frowned and propped up her head to think about countermeasures, Cheng Xin looked at Cheng Xi with a look of hope, and waited for Cheng Xi to give her an idea, and after a while Cheng Xi spoke, "Forget it, I'll help you talk to Ah Yi, but if he asks about you, you have to say it yourself." ”

Cheng Xin didn't have to speak by herself when she heard this, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

To say that Cheng Xin is usually a very simple person when talking and doing things in other things or other people's affairs, and it is only related to her own feelings, she is a little hesitant.

After communicating with Cheng Xin, Cheng Xi thought about finding another opportunity to communicate with Ah Yi for a while, the two of them had nothing to do at this time, and it was boring to sit in the hall of this restaurant, so Cheng Xi stood up and said, "Let's go to this restaurant too." ”

To say that this is going to the drunken Qingfeng restaurant, the layout is really not small, and there is a small backyard behind the restaurant, and the kitchen is also spacious and bright.

It's a pity that it's so deserted, although the inside and outside of the house are barely taken care of, and it's not messy, but many places are covered with a thick layer of dust because no one lives or no one cleans them for a long time.

The lobby of the restaurant is similar to that of other restaurants, with scattered tables in the hall, private rooms on the second floor, and guest rooms on the third floor.

Because the backyard is relatively large, there is also a two-story small building, all of which are lived in their own restaurant, and the scrawny shopkeeper in this restaurant and his son with a broken leg live in this small building behind it.

When Cheng Xi and Cheng Xin wandered to the backyard together, they saw a man with a stubble on his face and a depressed face sitting at the door of the small building, with a cane next to him.

Only this man obviously did not look like the shopkeeper's skinny appearance, and saw that the shopkeeper had raised his son very well, and he was not hungry like himself.

When the man saw Cheng Xin and Cheng Xi coming, he was busy trying to stand up and salute the two, but Cheng Xi stopped him, and then pulled Cheng Xin to the guest room on the third floor in front.

The group of them planned to live in the guest room on the third floor, Xu Sanlang and they were cleaning up, and there was no one in the guest room, and many of them were covered with a thick layer of dust.

When the two of them went up, they saw the scrawny shopkeeper really squatting on the ground at the door and coughing, and they seemed to be coughing almost out of breath.
