Chapter 147： promise

The latest website: She smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Shen is very polite, the little woman is a country woman and does not know the etiquette. Please forgive me, Haihan."

"It's okay, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the restaurant in front and sit for a while and chat?" He smiled indifferently, and said to Zhou Cheng again.

Zhou Cheng nodded, "Alright."

This restaurant is also the property of the Shen family. He instructed the shopkeeper to serve some good dishes, so he took them into a private box that was not open to the public. Bo An was guarding the door of the box to avoid unnecessary collisions.

"You're welcome, there are no outsiders, everyone will sit. We haven't seen each other in ten years, right?" Shen Yuanxiu poured tea for them as he spoke.

Zhou Cheng nodded, "Yes."

He has always been reticent in front of outsiders, and Shen Yuanxiu knew his temperament and didn't care.

"Ten years ago, when I met a bandit, I needed your help, but you refused to give you two silver coins to repay my kindness. I promised to owe you a favor at the time, which is still a lot. If you encounter difficulties, you can go to the Shen family in Yanyun Prefecture. find me."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen, it was just a little effort..."

Shen Yuanxiu stopped him from continuing, "It's a small effort for you, but it's a matter of life for me. My life is worth a promise."

Zhou Cheng is not someone who doesn't know what to do. Seeing his sincerity, he thanked him generously, and said that if he really needed it, he would shamelessly go to the door.

"That's right, I heard that a team of people took you away, I wonder if they were coerced?" He also knew a little about it at the beginning, but he happened to leave a few days before he came, which made him very depressed.

"No, it was an old friend who arranged to **** our family here. Did Mr. Shen just arrive in Ning County?" Zhou Cheng explained that for unnecessary trouble, he didn't plan to say more, and he didn't plan to stay for long. It was originally a chance encounter. , Although they had been with each other for a while, they did not have deep friendship.

"No, I have been staying in Dong'an City for seven or eight days. When I came here, I stopped at the house here. I plan to leave for Yanyunzhou tomorrow and come here to pack my luggage. There is still a long way to go to Yanyunzhou, I am afraid that it will be delayed by snow. For the itinerary, starting early may be able to get home before the heavy snow blocks the road.”

Speaking of this, he thought about being a good friend, "Where do you live? My house is empty and empty, do you want to move in?"

"Thank you, no, we have a place to live. Since Uncle Shen will be leaving tomorrow, there must be a lot of things to deal with today. I won't bother with Zhuojing, let's go ahead." After he finished speaking, he pulled Pei Xiu to get up .

"Don't worry, have you guys eaten your lunch? The dishes are ready. Let's have something to eat first?" Shen Yuanxiu insisted.

"We just ate it, don't disturb Uncle Shen to use it slowly."

Seeing that Zhou Cheng insisted on leaving, he did not force himself, and got up to send them out.

After leaving Ning County, Pei Xiu only spoke, "This uncle Shen brought out the promise from ten years ago to remind you that this is an olive branch for you, and it seems very affectionate. Maybe we really asked him to exchange the promise. one day."

"Stop talking, the wind is in your mouth, go back quickly."

Zhou Cheng had never intended to ask for his commitment, and he felt that he would not be able to use it either. But Shen Yuanxiu repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need to refuse directly, let it go for now, there are unforeseen circumstances, and if there is really something to ask for, there can be a way back.

"The sun was still bright in the morning, but it suddenly became cloudy at noon, and there was such a strong wind. It feels like the weather is going to change again."

"It should be, hurry up." He asked Pei Xiu to walk in front, and he walked behind to shield her from the wind.

As soon as he returned to the village, Pei Xiu went to set the kang on fire, and the fire was long gone after he was away from home for a long time. In winter, I wear thick clothes, and walking is cumbersome. After going back and forth for a long time, my feet are sore, and now I want to lie down. Before the sun goes down, you can rest for a while.

"Where are you going, aren't you tired, don't you lie down for a while?" Pei Xiu saw that he had just entered the room and went out again.

"Take a break when you're tired. I'm fine. I'll feed the horse some fodder and fry you some medicine. I'll kill the chicken later."

This good man who is hardworking and loves his daughter-in-law, Pei Xiu sighed again that he had found a treasure. Lie down with peace of mind, and will have to get up to cook later.

As soon as the boys came back from school, they could smell the fragrance of chicken stewed with mushrooms from a distance outside the courtyard. Thinking that it must be made by their mother, they walked away lazily and rushed home.

"Mother, mother, is it a chicken stew with mushrooms..."

"Do your homework first, and you have to be bored for a while before you can eat it." After tasting it, she felt that the domestic chicken was more tender and delicious, and the pheasant was suitable for stir-frying.

A few shrugged their noses, took a few deep breaths, and hurried back to the house to write today's big characters first.

It was getting dark now, and it was already dark by the time they finished their dinner. Zhou Cheng had arranged their equestrian practice class in the morning, which was a little more compact, but it also gave them the motivation to get up.

At night, the piercing cold wind blew against the window, making a crackling sound, which awakened Pei Xiu. Zhou Cheng reassured him: "It's okay, it's windy outside, and the window is just making noise."

She lay down again, "It seems that the weather tomorrow is not very good."

"Well, go to sleep, it's still early before dawn."

When she woke up, it was empty beside her. She got up and put on a coat and pushed open the window. Snowflakes flew in from the window like catkins and blew her face. It's been a blur, and no one has been seen.

She wondered if she had overslept, or why didn't she see anyone.

After getting dressed, I opened the door and went out. The courtyard was quiet and empty, and no footprints were seen. When I went to the main room, it was also empty. When I entered the kitchen, I found that they were all having breakfast in the kitchen.

"I got up and saw that there was no one in the courtyard or the main room. I thought where did you guys go? Have breakfast so early today."

"It's getting late, mother, UU reading we are going to school soon." The boss said indistinctly while chewing on the steamed buns.

Pei Xiu looked at the sky: "It's foggy and snowing today, so I don't know what time it is. It's windy and snowy, and the main room is leaking. It's really impossible to eat there." She said to Zhou Cheng again: "Why don't you call me up."

"Mother, we just got up. Dad didn't ask us to do morning exercises today, so he asked us to get up for breakfast." Zhou Heng said.

The second child, like Zhou Shanhuzi, usually speaks less, so he nodded.

"I'm done eating, are you okay?" The boss stood up after eating and urged them to hurry up.

"You go get the things first, and I'll be fine too." Hu Zi said.

The others hurriedly stuffed their steamed buns into their mouths, drank the porridge in their bowls, and went back to the house to get their books.

"It's such a heavy snow, be careful on the road, remember to wear a hat, or your hair will get wet." Pei Xiu warned.
