Chapter Twenty-Three: Follow Me
The two of them saw Chu Fan showing the iron ruler with a vicious face, their legs and feet were frightened, and they hurriedly walked away. The few remaining diners in the shop are not stupid, and they solve the wonton stew in the bowl by dividing it by two, and they are all right.
Finally, when it was time to see him for the last time, Li Su was not angry when he drove the diners away. Scoop out a small bowl from the pot and put it on the table, sit down on Chu Fan's side, and hold Ying Ying over to sit on her lap. Feed it for a while, and when the soup is almost cold, let the little girl scoop it with a spoon and eat it herself.
This meeting is really like a warm family of three.
She looked at him and his daughter contentedly, knowing that there were many people in the corner pointing and not caring at all.
Chu Fan's face was gloomy, and he ate faster than usual.
There were only five or six wontons in Yingying's bowl, and after eating, she stretched out her hand to reach for the iron ruler, and Li Su hurriedly dragged her back.
After a long silence, the man rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and his voice sounded first.
"I heard you're leaving?"
"Hmmm......"
"Go back to Yunmeng? There's going to be a war there. β
"Not going back. β
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know. β
"Can you come to me? There's a shortage of cooks in the house. β
Hearing this, the woman's heart was pounding, tears almost burst out of her eyes, and she said with difficulty for a while:
"Thank you for your kindness...... Li Su can't drag down his son. β
"What's there to drag on here?"
"Childe will become a laughing stock. β
"What's so funny about that? I don't understand......
"Li Suren is old and yellow, and he is carrying a small oil bottle. Childe should find another good man......"
Chu Fan was inexplicable and said urgently:
"I just like to eat what you make, it's clean and delicious. In my hometown, I am twenty years old, and I am too young to get married, so why is it that I am old? What happened to Yingying? How much can she eat? I like children the most, and my sister is a child......
Li Su was stunned, and said in his heart, isn't your hometown my hometown, why don't I know that there is such a custom.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Fan said:
"Where can you go? β
The woman froze, her eyes gradually reddening, but she sniffed and replied firmly:
"No!"
Chu Fan frowned, his voice increased, and he continued:
"Come with me!"
"No!"
"Come with me!"
The woman's whole body began to tremble, and she gritted her teeth, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and said:
"No, you can't!"
Chu Fan stood up suddenly, the green tendons on his forehead burst out like earthworms, leaned over and roared:
"Come with me...... You stupid woman, papaya brain, tough like a cow!"
Ying Ying was so frightened that she cried "wow", Li Su didn't say a word, picked up her daughter and went into the shop.
Chu Fan stood stupidly for a few breaths, and glanced around fiercely. The spectators who pricked up their ears and craned their necks to look here hurriedly avoided their gaze, pretending to be busy with their own affairs.
He lifted the curtain and strode into the room, and saw Li Su sitting on the edge of the bed and covering his mouth with a handkerchief, crying with pear blossoms and rain, and shrugging his thin shoulders. The little girl also cried, shaking her mother's arm desperately.
Chu Fan squatted down and stretched out his arms, but this time the little girl shrank timidly into the bed.
With a snap, he slapped himself loudly and explained in frustration:
"I, I really didn't mean to murder you, bully you, I really can't help it...... I used to be cautious, scruples about this, scruples about that, but I wasn't happy at all...... Later, I figured it out, what are the scruples about going to my grandmother's? In the world of life, how can I be as good as I want, but I want to be worthy of my heart...... So this time, you have to come with me. Otherwise, when I look back on today, I can help your mother and daughter without reaching out, and I will have a strong conscience for the rest of my life......"
Li Su saw that red and swollen finger marks quickly appeared on his face, and it was obvious that this slap was not light. Quickly got up and threw away the handkerchief, found a towel and washed it in the water, wringed it clean and handed it over, and wanted to say nothing.
There was a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, Chu Fan was stunned for a moment, and continued:
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any bad intentions. I didn't make it clear just now, it's my eldest brother Shi Meng's family that lacks a cook. Sister-in-law Shi cooks two meals by herself, and she can't be busy. I want you to help, not to ask you to be a servant...... Yi Bo Yun Tianshi catches his head, you must also know. There was a vacant room in his house, which I had lived in when I first arrived in Wuyang. The house is quite spacious and there are flowers and plants in the yard. You and Ying Ying settle down for the time being, and we'll talk about other things later.
Sister-in-law Shi is kind and makes good meals. If you don't let her be the chef, you can just give her a hand. There are no outsiders in the house, and there are no taboos. I also have a little sister who is innocent and wants to raise chickens and ducklings all the time. In your free time, you can teach her etiquette slowly, I really can't teach her ......"
Hearing these words, Li Su froze, his heart was as sweet and sour as a five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it tasted like.
Poor Chu Fan didn't have the experience of coaxing women in his previous life and this life, and the more he talked, the more he felt that his words were dry, messy, and he didn't know what to do, so he simply shrugged up and stood up, and said:
"You have to go with me today, and if you don't, you have to go...... Pack up your things first, and wait for Sister-in-law Shi to pick it up. The shop is rented, so don't worry about it, I'll take care of it...... But before you go, watch a good show. β
After speaking, Chu Fan lifted the curtain and left.
Li Su sat down heavily on the edge of the bed, stunned. Fu got up again and hurriedly fetched water, washed his face and hands, took off his apron, pushed open a broken window, and carefully combed it in front of the bronze mirror.
When the window is cloudy sideburns, the mirror appliquΓ© yellow.
Ying Yingcai didn't care about the twists and turns of the adult world, sat on the bed and played with a small rattle.
Chu Fan didn't take the iron ruler on the table, and walked straight towards Fang City.
He has been going back and forth for many days, and he knows that Zheng Tu is fierce and domineering, and he is known as the Three Tigers together with Zhou Caitou, a vegetable seller in Fang City, and a Li Yuhu who sells fish. Hawkers who deliver meat, vegetables, and fish are not allowed to enter the market without paying money for filial piety. If the stall owner covers them in the limelight, he will beat them.
Stepping into the vegetable shop, a sour mixed smell came to my face, and my left hand was a long slippery meat case.
Chu Fan saw that the first meat case monopolized the two-zhang long territory, and the other families were less than one zhang, so he had a spectrum in his heart. Afraid of making a mistake, I went to a nearby vegetable stall and asked. The stall owner snorted at a strong man in the first house, and quickly lowered his head.
Zheng Tuzheng commanded the three swordsmen, and when he saw a white-robed scholar approaching, he waved his hand and asked affectionately, "This must be Brother Zheng." I couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that it must be Chu Baigong who made a stir a few days ago.
He, Zhou Caitou, and Li Yuhu can run rampant here, and they don't have to catch fast silver, and they can't afford to mess with the relationship between Chu Fan and Shi Meng. But apart from beating Liu Quan and making breakfast, Chu Fan had no other actions to get close to Li Su. That's why I dared to smash the door and smash the window last night, trying to pull out the first prize of this flower.
Seeing Chu Fan respectfully and respectfully, the trace of cowardice in his heart disappeared, and he deliberately raised his chin and asked, "Which one are you?"
Chu Fan smiled and said:
"Bai Gong Chu Fan, there is one thing to ask for. That's right, Li Su's father is Yunmeng Sacrifice Wine, and he was originally my teacher. I saw her selling wontons here, and I was really pitiful. I have heard for a long time that Brother Zheng is heroic and righteous, and he wants to ask to take care of one or two. β
After speaking, he took out a small yellow gold ingot and handed it over.
Zheng Tu was puzzled, but his eyes were hooked by golden light, and he pretended to excuse himself: "It's okay to take care of it, but there is no need for gold." β
"Oh, Brother Zheng will see you outside, I'll invite you to drink another day...... In this way, gold is counted as the money for the purchase of meat. I'm tired of you cutting a pound of lean meat now, chopping it into a zi, and personally sending it to the wonton stew shop, I will tell Li Su. β
After finishing speaking, he took a few steps forward, forced the gold coin into Zheng Tu's hand, turned around and left.
He came and went fast.
Zheng Tuzheng was confused, and Zhou Caitou and Li Yuhu surrounded him.
One picked up the small gold ingot, and said in his mouth: "This Yunmeng boy is so rich, I am afraid that filial piety will be indispensable in the future." β
The other squeezed his eyebrows and smiled lewdly: "Please watch the fish, you will have a beautiful blessing in the future, do you want the brothers to get a little fishy......"
Zheng Tu snatched the gold and stuffed it into his arms, and snorted contemptuously, bullshit readers, there is no use for eggs, and there are times when they ask for our door!
