The Pretty Peasant Wife

Cheng Chen also replied, "When we were going over, Madame Zhao mentioned you. She said that when she's free, she would come over to see you, and that if you have time, you would go over to see her. "Speaking of which, how did you and Madame Zhao get so close?"

Cheng Xi shrugged her shoulders, and replied, "I only saw her once last time, maybe she thinks I'm too good for her."

Just then, Xu Sanlang poured tea for them for a few days, then sat down on the stone table and asked, "Do you want to go to s Prefecture City?"

When called out Fourth Brother's name, no matter how he heard, Cheng Cai felt uncomfortable. He frowned and turned his head to pretend he did not hear it, while Cheng Chen smiled and replied, "En, the two of us plan to go over, once we get home, I will have to trouble brother-in-law to take care of us."

Xu Sanlang nodded in agreement, "We will frequently go back to take a look."

Cheng Chen thought about another thing and asked, "Did you guys see your Fourth Uncle before coming to the county?"

Xu Sanlang shook his head and asked suspiciously, "Fourth Uncle?"

Cheng Chen looked at Cheng Xi helplessly, "My brother-in-law's Fourth Uncle, Xu Xiuxian."

With a reminder, Cheng Xi also remembered that Xu Sanlang had an Elementary Fourth Uncle and that the Elementary Fourth Uncle's daughter-in-law was a cousin of his. Cheng Xi had a very profound image.

"They're also in the county?" Cheng Xi asked curiously, she seemed to remember hearing that he was a teacher in a county in the city. The last time she came, Old Madam Xu even boasted that Xu Xiushi had found a job as a official in county office.

Cheng Chen nodded and continued, "Old Lady Xu … Your granny spread around the village, saying that it was your Fourth Uncle that had become an official and found all of you a very profitable job. When you earn money, you would be filial to her, saying that in the future, you would have to bring her to the county city. "

Cheng Xi speechlessly curled her lips, but did not speak. Instead, she replied, "We were a bit busy, so we did not manage to get out." As for the old lady's words, Xu Sanlang automatically ignored them.

When Cheng Chen saw that the two of them did not speak, he did not seem to mind, and did not continue bringing up the matter of the Old Madam Xu, but instead said, "I heard that your Fourth Uncle became the master within the county office, and seems to be rather popular with the county magistrate. If you two are free, go and take a look, after all you are relatives, and have something to take care of in this county city."

Cheng Xi thought about her aunt, who seemed to be not bad, and nodded, "Alright."

Xu Sanlang lowered his head and did not say a word.

After that, they chatted about the situation at home, Cheng Chen was worried that he would delay them a little longer, thus, he called for the two of them to leave. Thinking about the situation in the restaurant, Cheng Xi did not ask them to stay, but only asked them to inform him before they left.

After the two of them left, Cheng Xi took the matter of him paying a visit to the Xu Sanlang Fourth Uncle seriously. With a Fourth Uncle as an official, she could be considered a backer.

It was just that he had been rather busy these past few days, and did not have the time to bring it up. Until it started raining and there were fewer people coming to the restaurant, Cheng Xi pulled Xu Sanlang to the side and said, "There's less people coming today, let's go to the county office to ask around and visit your Fourth Uncle?"

Xu Sanlang looked up and glanced at Cheng Xi, then said with furrowed brows, "We'll talk about it in the future."

Looking at Xu Sanlang's expression, Cheng Xi kept feeling that something was amiss. She asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

Xu Sanlang shook his head, "It's nothing, let's do it." Then he went away.

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's leaving figure, pouted his lips and muttered, "It's nothing." After that, she also went to work.

She did not visit the Fourth Uncle, but there were some people who came to visit them. Cheng Xi did not expect that Madame Zhao actually came to visit them, and Zhao Ke had also come along with them.

Once the two of them entered, Wang Ying waved passionately at Cheng Xi: "Xiao Xi, come sit beside me."

Cheng Xi politely greeted along with Xu Sanlang before she walked over to Wang Ying's side and sat down.

Wang Ying held Cheng Xi's hand and said with a smile, "I came to see you a long time ago but my husband never let me. She said that you would definitely be busy and did not have time to see us.

When Cheng Xi heard Wang Ying's words, she inwardly sighed at Zhao Ke's meticulousness, and intentionally picked the time they weren't busy with to come over, at the same time, she replied while laughing, "I was indeed a little busy, I should have gone to see big sis, but I didn't have the time, and got Big Brother Zhao to spend it, and even booked a room."

Zhao Ke smiled and replied, "I was going to eat anyway, no need to spend so much money, I will be leaving in a few days. Ying Zi will always talk to me about you, and in the future, I still need you to accompany my Ying Zi, so that when I return, you won't talk to you about no one accompanying her."

Cheng Xi smiled and replied, "As long as elder sister Ying does not mind, I will definitely nag you when I'm free."

There were only four people in the room. Although Xu Sanlang was a quiet person, he wasn't stupid, he knew that being on good terms with Boss Zhao would probably affect the future of both Cheng Xi's brothers, and it was rare for him to speak more than usual. Although it was Zhao Ke who said that most of the time, and Xu Sanlang agreed at the right time, it wouldn't be awkward.

The two men talked about Prefecture City matters. Although Cheng Xi also wanted to get involved with them and get to know more, Wang Ying didn't seem to be too interested. Instead, she pulled Cheng Xi along and chatted about family matters.

Although there were only four people in the room, the atmosphere was quite good.

After a while, a knock on the door sounded. It should have been the waiter who had started serving the dishes, but when he opened the door, Shopkeeper Xia had actually come personally. did not expect this at all.

He then greeted Zhao Ke and his wife, "Boss Zhao, why didn't you greet this little one earlier? This little one will welcome you personally as well. I never thought that Boss Zhao would still be familiar with me in this restaurant."

Seeing Shopkeeper Xia in such a state, Cheng Xi was secretly shocked, could it be that this Boss Zhao's identity is not ordinary? He was actually able to make the always arrogant Shopkeeper Xia act humbly and personally serve him.

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

Once again, there were only four people left in the room. Cheng Xi then asked tentatively, "Big Brother Zhao was originally familiar with Shopkeeper Xia?"

Zhao Ke laughed and replied, "What familiarity? I heard that all the shopkeepers in the restaurant were familiar with each other, and they came over with Ruyi Restaurant a few times. I guess we can be considered to know each other."

When Cheng Xi saw Zhao Ke's nonchalant look, she knew that Zhao Ke did not take this Shopkeeper Xia seriously at all.

The four people in the room chatted as they ate and the atmosphere was harmonious. Because they were going to the Prefecture City, Zhao Ke was also very busy, after eating, the two of them got up and prepared to leave.

After sending the two of them off, Xu Sanlang bid farewell to Shopkeeper Xia, and prepared to return to the kitchen at the back. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Xia actually called out to the two of them with a smile, saying, "Today's weather is not good, there's no business, you guys don't need to rush to work, just rest a bit."

In truth, Cheng Xi did not like Shopkeeper Xia, but she was not someone they could afford to offend, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Xia."

Shopkeeper Xia continued, "This Boss Zhao, is he like you?"

Cheng Xi secretly pursed her lips, he knew that this arrogant Shopkeeper Xia would never be willing to let go of his position to speak to them in such an amiable manner. It turned out it was because of Zhao Ke, who replied with a smile, "Madame Zhao is from the same village as us, and is more compatible with me, so we interact more."

Since Shopkeeper Xia had set his eyes on Zhao Ke, Cheng Xi was not polite, and wanted to borrow his popularity, they should not mind, I believe that Shopkeeper Xia will not make things difficult for them anymore.

The Shopkeeper Xia replied, "That's not bad, the kitchen is working really hard, and the monthly salary is not high either. I think the two of you can do it too, but how about doing something before you come here?"

Cheng Xi retorted in her heart, this person does not even know how to tell a lie. In the past, she never came to the kitchen to cook, and she never took people into his eyes.

"No need, thank you Shopkeeper Xia."

Just as Cheng Xi was in a daze, Xu Sanlang opened his mouth and rejected his offer. But after saying that, Shopkeeper Xia's face changed, as though he was unable to keep a smile on his face.
