Chapter 51: A Changed Person
The two of them finally circled around the city, and then went back to the city to Zhao's house, and then went back to the restaurant.
Steward Xu was very puzzled when he saw that the two of them came back so quickly, "Didn't you say that you went back to the village, why did you come back so quickly?" ”
Cheng Xi sighed and said listlessly, "Don't go back." ”
Steward Xu saw that Cheng Xi didn't seem to want to say more, and then saw that Xu Sanlang also lowered his head and kept silent, so it was not good to continue to ask more, and greeted the two of them, "There is Xiong Da Xiong Er to help, you are also tired these days, so rest today." ”
For the person who aroused Yu Zhaocai, Steward Xu was not polite at all, if it was said that before, Steward Xu was jealous and disgusted with people like Yu Zhaocai, and then Yu Zhaocai ran to the restaurant for three days and two ends, and after getting acquainted, he felt that this person did not seem to be so hateful, and gradually the fear and disgust faded, looking at Yu Zhaocai pestering Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi without skin and face, and sometimes he would hurt him a few words.
Cheng Xi really didn't want to do anything because of the troubles this day, so he nodded apologetically to Steward Xu, and then went to the small courtyard of the dormitory.
Xu Sanlang also followed behind Cheng Xi, watching Cheng Xi collapse on the bed with a weak face, Xu Sanlang said with a guilty face, "I have wronged you." ”
Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Sanlang in front of the bed, then turned her head and continued to look at the roof, she is not one of the scoundrels of the Xu family, this matter is not to blame on him, it is estimated that she is this life, this life has given her a healthy body, but this life is too bumpy.
Thinking of her life in her previous life, Cheng Xi instantly cheered up, comforting herself, what are the ups and downs, at least she is healthy in this life, and when she wakes up, it will be a new day.
Thinking like this, Cheng Xi closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Xu Sanlang kept looking at Cheng Xi who was lying on the bed silently, since he recognized Cheng Xi's identity, as a man, he knew his responsibility to Cheng Xi.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Xi had been wronged with him, and he felt sorry, but looking at Cheng Xi who was silent like this, he was a little apprehensive, and he wanted to know what she was thinking.
After standing for a while, he was about to ask, but he found that Cheng Xi didn't seem to be silent, and called her in a low voice, but there was no response, Xu Sanlang was full of black lines, and he felt that he had been entangled here alone for a long time, and he didn't want to fall asleep.
I used to cover her with a quilt, but I didn't seem to be satisfied with being disturbed, so I pouted and turned my head and continued to fall asleep.
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi curled up in the quilt, such a small lump, he seemed to forget that Cheng Xi was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was obviously still a child.
But since I got to know her, it seems that I am changing day by day, from being squeamish at the beginning, knowing nothing about everything here, to now completely adapting, and learning to do everything by myself.
But she seems to know everything, and she actually knows things that she doesn't know or even never heard of at all.
Such a small person could not be understood by common sense at all, and he was very curious about what was in her head.
It's not like amnesia, it's like a complete change of people.
Xu Sanlang hurriedly shook his head, shook off the nonsense in his head, and then pulled the quilt for Cheng Xi, and then turned around and left.
Since then, the two of them have temporarily shelved their plans to return to the village, and they have even gone out less, so they are worried that they will meet the people of the Xu family again in the county seat, Yu Zhaocai has come a few times and brought them news, and Mrs. Xu is actually asking them everywhere in those restaurants in the county seat.
Cheng Xi was worried that Mrs. Xu would make trouble, so he specially asked the shopkeeper Xia outside to help, and asked him to greet everyone in the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Xia saw that the two not only knew Boss Zhao, but also followed the little overlord in the county town Yu Zhaocai so well, and he was even more attentive to the two, and of course he would spare no effort to do it properly.
Of course, the people in the back kitchen don't need to take care of things, Cheng Xi greeted everyone by himself, and everyone knew it.
In this way, the two of them stayed comfortably in the restaurant, and did not let the Xu family find them.
Xu Wenyu was hindered by the fact that the two of them had more than Zhaocai to protect, although he also wanted to know the whereabouts of the two in the county, he didn't dare to look for someone in a big way, let alone go to Yu Zhaocai to inquire.
After a long time, the two of them seemed to have disappeared in the county, and gradually they stopped, and Mrs. Xu also took the people of the Xu family back to the village.
The two of them nested in the restaurant like this, busy with things in the restaurant every day, Cheng Xi's cooking skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and even better than the blue, Xu Sanlang's strength in this kitchen is a bit overkill, but Xu Sanlang is willing to guard Cheng Xi to stay in this back kitchen, and everyone is not good to say anything.
The days passed, the weather gradually became cooler, and in a blink of an eye, they had already put on a padded jacket, and the New Year was approaching, so the two began to prepare to return to the village, and when the New Year came, the restaurant was about to close, and the people in the restaurant had to go home for the New Year, of course, they were the same.
Because the business of Ruyi Restaurant in the second half of the year was good, it was almost several times higher than in the first half of the year, and when the shopkeeper Xia handed over the account book to Fucheng, the owner of the restaurant was happy, and the restaurant was given a holiday on the twentieth day of the month.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang were not in a hurry to go back, because they got news from Wang Ying that Boss Zhao was going to come back from Fucheng in the next two days, and Cheng Xi's second brother and fourth brother would of course come back with him, so the two planned to stay in the county town and wait for them.
The people in the restaurant left, so they arranged for a few people in the county town to take turns to look at the store, but they only came at night, and it was deserted, and Wang Ying let the two stay with her after hearing about it.
Xu Sanlang felt that it was inappropriate, it was nothing for Cheng Xi to stay here, but he also stayed here, and Boss Zhao was not at home, so it would not be good to spread some rumors when the time came.
But he had long been accustomed to being with Cheng Xi, and it really made him uncomfortable to let him stay alone in the restaurant, so Xu Sanlang rarely made his own assertions, and without waiting for Cheng Xi to answer, he took the first step to refuse.
The restaurant is not open, and there is nothing to do, and the two of them stay in the empty restaurant, but they are a little unaccustomed to it, so the two of them went out for a walk and bought a lot of things before going back to the restaurant.
The weather was getting colder, Cheng Xi simply nested in the quilt, counting the wages of the past few months, while Xu Sanlang sat at the table next to him, looking at the books that the two of them went out to buy in the morning.
Cheng Xi counted it over and over again, except for the money to be handed over to Mrs. Xu, the money that the two of them had saved was much more than expected, plus the red and white bags they gave at the end of the year, there were a total of five taels of silver.
According to Cheng Xi's understanding in the past few months, the five taels of silver here can already do a lot of things, but thinking about the current situation, Cheng Xi sighed, looked at the muttering in his hand and said, "The money I watched has no chance to be spent." ”
These are the private money hidden by the Xu family, which is much more than the money handed over to the Xu family, if the Xu family knows about it, it will have to turn the sky again.
