Lin Xi couldn't figure it out, so he went back and wrote a letter, asking Xu Wu to find someone to send it to Zhuo Minghe in the north.

Subsequently, Lin Xi stayed to deal with the account books of the past half a month, and even ate a few bites of dinner in a hurry, and read the account books until dawn.

She slept for an hour, then got up quickly, left two newly written half-finished recipes for Xu Wu and Zhang Ze, and went back to the department store.

When passing by Li Kee's steamed bun shop, Lin Xi stopped and bought a few of Sanbao and Sibao's favorite fillings, as well as four bowls of bean curd.

When Lin Xi arrived at the department store, the shop had just opened, and Xu Qi was sweeping the floor.

Sibao Baba chased after Xu Wu and asked, "Will my mother come back in the morning?" If you don't come back, can Sibao go to his mother? Sibao knows that his mother is in Jubaolou, Uncle Xu Qi, can you take Sibao there? ”

Xu Qi coaxed patiently: "The owner didn't say if you could go." Fourth Miss, you wait a little longer, maybe the owner will come back later. ”

"Alright then, Sibao is obedient."

Sibao sat wiltedly on the exclusive small bench that Xu Qi took out for her.

Sanbao took a few pieces of snacks and said like a little adult: "Wait for breakfast later, eat it first to pad your stomach." ”

Sibao took it, said thank you, and gave Sanbao two pieces.

"Let's eat together."

Lin Xi went in early, "The four treasures are very well-behaved today, and my mother rewarded the four treasures and came back early." ”

Si Bao Deng was happy, jumped off the bench and ran over to hug Lin Xi.

Xu Qi came over and took the things that Lin Xi mentioned.

Lin Xi said: "Let's eat together, I also bought your share." Reopen after eating. ”

Xu Qi smiled, "Thank you, owner." ”

Sanbao sensibly had already dragged out the small table under the counter, ran to the backyard again, and came out with dishes and chopsticks.

Lin Xi found that Sanbao has been a little less talkative recently, and he is also muffled in his work, which makes Lin Xi quite worried about whether the events of that day have left any shadow on Sanbao.

She went over and grabbed Sanbao, "Sanbao eats first, these are done by the mother, you don't have to do it." ”

Sanbao shook his head, "Mother is too tired." ”

Lin Xi touched his head, took him a bun, and said, "Mother is fine, in two months, recruit some new guys, and it will be easy." ”

Sibao said softly: "That Sibao is obedient, and he must not cause trouble to his mother." ”

Lin Xi smiled and kissed her forehead, "Sibao is the most sensible, and he won't trouble his mother." ”

Sibao's little face flushed, and she hugged her arm and coquettishly: "That mother will accompany Sibao more." ”

Sanbao hit the nail on the head and said: "Mother doesn't know, when you and your father went to Jinling, Sibao often had nightmares, saying that he couldn't see you come back." ”

Lin Xi was surprised, "Really? ”

Sibao hurriedly said: "No, no! This dream is not good, it is not what the Four Treasures will do! Mother and father are obviously safe! ”

Lin Xi's mood was a little complicated. But in fact, she and Shen Chen really almost couldn't come back. Sibao, this feels quite accurate. So that's why Sibao sticks to her every day after she comes back?

Lin Xi sighed and said, "Dreams are all the opposite. Let's eat, let's not talk about that. ”

Sibao nodded and ate happily.

After eating breakfast, Lin Xi started to get busy again.

She finished checking the account book of Jubaolou, and the department store didn't read it in detail, so she had to read it again.

"By the way, Xu Qi, now that I am in the shop, you go to Jubaolou. Yesterday's Jubaolou was fully stocked, and when I left in the morning, I instructed Xu Wu and Zhang Ze to prepare and send them to the department store, and they should have finished loading the car by this time, so you can bring them over. ”

Xu Qi should leave.

Lin Xi was in the shop while reading the account book while receiving guests who came in from time to time, while Sanbao and Sibao were playing on the side.

The department store has some new and novel picture books, mostly illustrations and strange ideas. Sanbao doesn't know many words, but he can guess by looking at the illustrations, so Sibao listens to it quite with relish.

The two of them buried their heads in research, and after looking at it for a while, they had to look up to see if Lin Xi was still there.

After a while, Xu Qi came back.

Lin Xi helped move things in and tidy up the shelves, and then saw that Xu Qi was there, so he was relieved to go to the backyard to get busy.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi took the time to go to the Treasure Building and went back to continue his work.

In the evening, I was busy with things on both sides.

The three treasures and the four treasures had already fallen asleep, Lin Xi went to the room to look at them, and saw that they were sleeping peacefully, so he found them a change of clothes for tomorrow, and then took out the dirty clothes to wash. During the day, she was afraid that she would not have time to wash.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was just making water next to the well in the courtyard, and suddenly heard some movement from the courtyard wall, which was extremely obvious in this night.

"Who?!"

Lin Xi lifted the washboard and cautiously walked over.

There are also piles of firewood beside the courtyard wall, which were used to cook on the fire when they lived here in the past.

Lin Xi had just approached, and suddenly a person came out behind Chai He.

Lin Xi immediately picked up the washboard——

"Miss Lin, stop! Don't worry! ”

A hurried voice rang out.

Lin Xi stopped and looked over, only to see that the other party was a young man, with a straight body and a sword at his waist, and he looked like a practitioner.

"Who are you?!" Lin Xi was more vigilant.

The young man stepped forward and saw Lin Xi retreating. He had no choice but to stop, arched his hand towards Lin Xi, and said, "Miss Lin, don't be afraid, my name is Zhou Ke, you know the master of my family, and my name is Zhuo Minghe!" ”

Lin Xi didn't believe it: "How do I know if you lied to me?" ”

Zhou Ke took out a letter directly from his arms and handed it over, "Miss Lin, please take a look." ”

Lin Xihu approached in suspicious steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed it quickly, and quickly stepped back, and opened the letter under his washboard arm, and there were two letters inside. One turned out to be a handwritten letter she had written to Zhuo Minghe earlier, and the other was Zhuo Minghe's handwriting, saying that he was in trouble at the moment and it was inconvenient to come, so he asked his people to pick her up.

Lin Xi still didn't believe it, "What if your master deliberately imitated the handwriting?" ”

Zhou Ke took out a money bag from his sleeve, and when he saw that Lin Xi didn't come forward, he threw it to her.

"The master said, don't let Miss Lin go in vain, double it last time."

Lin Xi tossed the weight, hey, dozens of taels, and silver tickets.

Yes, people are stupid and have more money, which is Zhuo Minghe's style.

Lin Xi put it away, "Where is he?" I couldn't go if it was too far away, but he knew I had the kids with me. ”

Zhou Ke said respectfully: "It's just ten miles outside the county, and I will definitely send you back before dawn." There was already a carriage waiting outside. ”

Lin Xi hesitated, "Okay." ”

When Zhou Ke heard this, he made a gesture of invitation, then turned around and jumped out.

Lin Xi is envious, it is really convenient to have kung fu. When Shen Chen came back, she must also teach Shen Chen.

Lin Xi opened the backyard door and went out, and saw that in the alley not far to the left, Zhou Ke was in front of a carriage, looking up at the wall intently, as if he was waiting for something.

"Hey, don't look at it. Drive the carriage over and come this way. ”

Zhou Ke turned his head to look.

After a few moments, he silently led the horse over.
