Cheng Chen also responded, "When we went over, Mrs. Zhao also mentioned you, saying that she would come to see you when she was free, and if you were free, you would also go to see her." Anyway, how did you and Mrs. Zhao get so good? ”

Cheng Xi shrugged his shoulders and responded, "I only saw me once last time, maybe she thinks I fit her eyes." ”

At this time, Xu Sanlang poured tea for a few days, and then sat down at the stone table together, and asked, "Second brother and fourth brother are going to Fucheng?" ”

The fourth brother who shouted out of Xu Sanlang's mouth, how did Cheng Cai feel awkward when he heard it, frowned and turned his head as if he didn't hear it, Cheng Chen responded with a smile, "Well, we both plan to go over, and when we leave, we will trouble my brother-in-law to take care of it a little more." ”

Xu Saburo nodded in response, "We'll go back from time to time." ”

Cheng Chen thought about one more thing, and asked, "Have you seen your fourth uncle since you came to the county seat?" ”

Xu Saburo shook his head, and Cheng Xi was puzzled, "Fourth uncle? ”

Cheng Chen glanced at Cheng Xi helplessly, "Brother-in-law's fourth uncle, Xu Xiucai." ”

After being reminded, Cheng Xi also remembered that Xu Sanlang had a Xiucai fourth uncle, and the daughter-in-law of the fourth uncle Xiucai was still one of his cousins.

"They're in this county too?" Cheng Xi asked curiously, she seemed to remember that she had heard that he was a county school master in the county seat, and the last time she came, Mrs. Xu also said that Xu Xiucai had found an errand in the county government and became an official.

Cheng Chen nodded and continued, "Mrs. Xu...... Your grandmother spread the word everywhere in the village, saying that your fourth uncle had become an official, and had found you a very lucrative errand to earn money to be filial to her, and said that she would be taken to the county seat in the future. ”

Cheng Xi was speechless and pursed his mouth, but did not speak, Xu Sanlang responded, "We are busy, so we don't go out much." As for what the old lady said, Xu Saburo automatically ignored it.

Cheng Chen saw that neither of them talked, and he didn't seem to care, so he didn't continue to mention the matter of Mrs. Xu, but said, "I heard that your fourth uncle became the chief bookkeeper in the county government, and it seems that he is quite favored by the county master. ”

Cheng Xi thought that the aunt seemed to be fine, so he nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

Xu Saburo lowered his head and didn't speak, he was originally a taciturn person, and everyone didn't care.

After chatting about the situation at home, Cheng Chen was worried that he would delay them for a long time, so he beckoned Cheng Cai and the two to get up and leave, Cheng Xi thought about the situation in the restaurant, and did not keep it, only let them tell themselves when they left.

After Cheng Chen and the two left, Cheng Xi took the matter of visiting Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle to heart, there is a fourth uncle who is an official, and he can be regarded as a backer, if there is anything, maybe he can be regarded as a dependent.

It's just that I've been very busy these days, and I don't have time to mention it, until it rains and there are fewer people coming to the restaurant, so Cheng Xi pulled Xu Sanlang aside and said, "There are few people at noon today, let's go to the county government to inquire and visit your fourth uncle?" ”

Xu Sanlang glanced up at Cheng Xi, frowned slightly and said, "Let's talk about it later." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's expression, always felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xu Saburo shook his head, "It's okay, let's work." Then he walked away and went busy.

Cheng Xi looked at the back of Xu Sanlang leaving, pursed his mouth, and muttered, "It's strange if it's okay." Then he went to work.

Cheng Xi didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao really came to visit them, and Zhao Ke came with him, Zhao Ke directly booked a private room in front of him, so people called Xu Sanlang to go over with Cheng Xi.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, Wang Ying waved to Cheng Xi enthusiastically, "Xiaoxi, come and sit on my side." ”

Cheng Xi still politely greeted Xu Sanlang before going over to Wang Ying's side and sitting down beside Wang Ying.

Wang Ying took Cheng Xi's hand and said with a smile, "I have long wanted to come to see you, but my father-in-law has always refused to let me, saying that you must be busy and have no time to see us, but I didn't expect to be kind enough to take the initiative to bring me over today." ”

Cheng Xi heard Wang Ying's words, and secretly sighed in his heart that Zhao Ke was careful, and deliberately chose a time when they were not busy, and at the same time responded with a smile, "It's a little busy, I should have gone to see Sister Ying, but I didn't have time, so Brother Zhao broke the bill and booked a private room." ”

Zhao Ke replied with a smile, "I'm going to eat, what's the cost, I'll leave in a few days, Yingzi always talks to me about you, and I have to ask you to accompany my family Yingzi more in the future, so that I don't have to talk to me as soon as I come back, no one will accompany her." ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "As long as Sister Ying doesn't dislike it, she will definitely nag when she has time." ”

There are only four people in the private room, although Xu Sanlang is a taciturn person, but he is not stupid, he knows that befriending this Boss Zhao may be related to the future of Cheng Xi's two brothers, and it is rare to talk a lot more than usual, although most of the time Zhao Ke is talking, Xu Sanlang echoes it in a timely manner, but it will not be embarrassing.

The two men talked about the affairs of Fucheng, although Cheng Xi also wanted to participate in their topic and learn more, but Wang Ying didn't seem to be very interested, but pulled Cheng Xi to chat about some parents, and Cheng Xi had no choice but to accompany him.

Although there are only four people, the private room is not deserted, and the atmosphere is very good.

After a while, there was a knock at the door of the private room, it should be Xiao Er who started to serve the food, but when the door was opened, it was actually the shopkeeper Xia who came in person, which really made Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi unexpected.

When I saw Cheng Xi and them before, I was always a proud Xia shopkeeper, but at this time, I actually smiled flatteringly, and greeted Zhao Ke and his wife, "Boss Zhao, why don't you say hello to the little one, and the little one can greet him personally, I really didn't expect that Boss Zhao still has acquaintances in our restaurant." ”

Looking at Shopkeeper Xia who was acting like this, Cheng Xi was secretly frightened, could it be that Boss Zhao's identity was very unusual? It was unexpectedly possible to let this always arrogant Xia shopkeeper be so small and low, and come to serve him in person.

Zhao Ke politely greeted Shopkeeper Xia, and then sent Shopkeeper Xia away.

There were only four people left in the room again, so Cheng Xi asked tentatively, "Brother Zhao is familiar with Shopkeeper Xia?" ”

Zhao Ke smiled and responded, "What kind of acquaintance, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is not all self-familiar, and I have come to the Ruyi Restaurant a few times, so I can be regarded as acquaintance." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Zhao Ke with an indifferent look, and knew that he didn't take this Xia shopkeeper seriously at all, and he didn't want to ask again, so he changed the topic.

The four of them chatted and ate in the private room, and the atmosphere was harmonious, because they were going to Fucheng, Zhao Ke was also very busy, and after eating, the two got up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.

After sending the two away, Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi said hello to Shopkeeper Xia, and then prepared to go back to the back kitchen, not wanting Shopkeeper Xia to change his normal routine and greet the two with a smile, "The weather is bad today and there is no business, you don't have to rush to work, rest for a while." ”

Cheng Xi actually didn't want to see this shopkeeper Xia, but this person was not something they could afford to offend, so he was still busy laughing and said, "Thank you Shopkeeper Xia." ”

Shopkeeper Xia continued, "This Boss Zhao, who are you?" ”

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth secretly, and he said that how could this arrogant shopkeeper Xia be willing to put down his body and talk to them so amiably, it turned out that it was because of Zhao Ke, and he still responded with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Zhao is a fellow villager with us, and she is more compatible with me, so she has more contacts." ”

Since this Xia shopkeeper takes such a fancy to Zhao Ke, Cheng Xi is not polite, so he borrows his popularity, they shouldn't mind, and presumably this Xia shopkeeper will not easily embarrass them in the future.

Shopkeeper Xia responded, "That's very good, this kitchen is hard work, and the monthly money is not high, I think you two can do it, why don't you come to the front to do things?" ”

Cheng Xi complained in his heart, this person doesn't make drafts when he lies, people who never went into the back kitchen before, people who never looked at them in their eyes, and now praise them for their ability?

"No need, thank you Shopkeeper Xia."

Just when Cheng Xi was stunned, Xu Sanlang opened his mouth to refuse, but as soon as he finished speaking, the face of the shopkeeper Xia changed, and his smile seemed to be a little unbearable.
