Chapter 60

60 Really Knew Each Other!

Because there was water here, everyone didn’t have to carry the water over themselves. Therefore, it was convenient for the stall owners to use water.

One after another, people came to fetch water. Even Li Xiaoran asked her sister to fetch some water.

It couldn’t be helped. More people came to eat noodles, and more bowls and chopsticks were used, so more water was used to wash them.

!!

It certainly wasn’t going to be enough with just the water they’d picked up.

When there were finally fewer customers, Li Xiaoran squeezed her sore arm and heaved a sigh of relief. She sat in a chair and rested for a while.

“No wonder Luo Cheng said that we would be so busy that we wouldn’t have a chance to rest!”

Li Xiaoqing also moved a stool and sat next to Li Xiaoran. She was also tired.

“My hands are sore and I’m exhausted from collecting money. For the first time in my life, I realize that earning money is very difficult!”

Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but laugh when she heard her two daughters’ conversation.

“You’re starting to feel tired? This isn’thing! I feel very energetic. Just thinking that our hard work can earn us a lot of money, enough for our family to live a good life, I feel energized!”

When Li Shun heard this, he also cheered up.

He had to admit that he had changed a lot frim his old self.

With something to look forward to, he was naturally in higher spirits.

At the same time, Luo Cheng and Master Guo signed the contract to buy another piece of land in the village.

Of course, Luo Cheng also dealt with Zhao Cuihua’s matter.

Since he had said he would send her to the officials, he meant what he said.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Old Master Guo decided to let his son and Song Erwa’s third aunt follow him.

Luo Cheng even paid for the three of them to take the ox cart and sent them off.

“Luo Cheng! You said you wanted to buy this land for construction purposes? Can I ask if you intend to do business?” Old Master Guo asked.

Luo Cheng glanced at Old Master Guo and felt that the old man in front of him was quite fair. Although he sometimes favored his family, such behavior was human nature.

In short, Old Master Guo had done a good job as the village chief. He had even done many beneficial things for the village.

“Old Master, you can see for yourself whether the business by the pipeline is good or not. It looks small now, but how can you be sure that it won’t develop in the future?”

Luo Cheng left after saying this.

He had no time to waste here. He had to hurry to the noodle stand to help.

There were so many people today. It would make it easier for the others if he went back early.

When Luo Cheng returned to the noodle stall, he was surprised to see a figure among the people who were busy collecting the dishes.

“Why are you here? How can a rich young master like you do this?” Luo Cheng seemed to have seen a different side to Luo Han. He didn’t expect him to have such a down-to-earth side.

“What? You’re allowed to set up a noodle stall here, but I can’t collect dishes here? Don’t just stand there. Can’t you see that everyone is busy? Hurry up and do your work!” Luo Han quickly called out when he saw Luo Cheng staring at him.

“You treat this place as your own?” Luo Cheng said as he rolled up his sleeves.

“Isn’t this my territory, too?” said Luo Han, winking at him.

Thinking of Luo Han’s identity, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else.

After all, Luo Han was the county magistrate and considered an official here. It wasn’t wrong to say that it was his territory.

When Li Xiaoran cooked the noodles, she saw from the corner of her eye that Luo Cheng and Luo Han were very familiar with each other. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

So this person wasn’t lying to her. He and Luo Cheng seemed to really know each other.

From the way the two of them spoke so casually, they must have a deep relationship. No wonder they took the initiative to clean up the dishes after eating.

With Luo Cheng’s help, everyone was less busy.

Coincidentally, there were fewer customers now, so Luo Cheng came to Li Xiaoran.

“Go rest! Match the flavor of the knife-cut noodles needed by the rest of the customers. Leave the cutting and cooking to me!”

Li Xiaoran’s arm was really exhausted at this moment. When she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she didn’t force herself. She moved away from the stove and went to get seasoning.

Luo Cheng washed his hands. He held the dough in one hand and peeled it with bamboo in the other.

It had to be said that the noodles Luo Cheng cut were even better than Li Xiaoran’s.

After confirming that Luo Cheng was fine and that the condiments in each bowl were ready, Li Xiaoran went to sit on a chair not far away.

Although they had prepared a lot of dough today, Li Xiaoran and the others still sold all the noodles in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, after Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao finished selling their sorghum buns, they came over to help.

So although there were even more guests in the afternoon than in the morning, everyone wasn’t as tired as in the morning.

After the noodles were sold, Li Xiaoran looked at the group of people who had worked hard all day. After thinking for a while, he looked at Luo Cheng.

“Your friend, Yuan Cheng, Mao Dao, and the others have all helped a lot today! Why don’t we treat everyone to a meal at home?”

Seeing that Li Xiaoran was exhausted, Luo Cheng asked, “Do you still have the energy to cook?”

Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was afraid that she would be tired, so she smiled and nodded. “I still have the strength to cook! We’ve been busy all day, so we should cook something tasty to reward ourselves tonight!”

Luo Cheng thought about Li Xiaoran’s words and finally nodded in agreement.

“Alright, it just so happens that Luo Han and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. We can have a good gathering tonight! Call Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao! I think those two boys are quite nice. It’s not a bad idea to teach them!”

Li Xiaoran nodded, then smiled and shouted at Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao, “Don’t go back for dinner today. Come back with us later. I’ll cook something tasty for you two. Thank you for your help today!”

“Is there any good food? Is there any for me?” Luo Han asked immediately.

“Do you think your’s will be missing?” Luo Cheng retorted, rolling his eyes at Luo Han.

Luo Han laughed. He came over and put his hand on Luo Cheng’s shoulder, as if they were buddies.

“Then there must be mine! You can’t drive me away!”

“You’re the most shameless one!” Luo Cheng said with a look of disgust.

Li Xiaoran looked at the two of them and smiled.

Although Luo Cheng sounded like he despised Luo Han, he was actually very close to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Luo Han get close enough to put his hand on his shoulder.
