Chapter 859 Chapter 859 Unconventional

“It would be best to have someone to help me, but...”

Bai Shuiliu was a little hesitant, "If you ask for leave, will Chef Luo be able to do it?"

Shao Anping is just a third-class apprentice in Hongyun Building. His status in Hongyun Building is low, and he does the most basic work. He also has the shortest rest time on weekdays. If he asks for leave at will, he may easily offend Luo Da. The chef and others are bored.

“It’s okay, I said I’m going to help you. Chef Luo will definitely be right. Maybe he’ll even praise me for my discernment.” Shao Anping joked.

Hearing this, Bai Shuiliu pursed her lips and smiled.

But after a moment, he frowned and said, "It would be best if you help me, but when you come back, I guess you will have to come back alone, and I will have to stay at home for a few more days."

"Yes, for such a happy event at home, you should spend more time with your aunt and younger brothers and sisters." Shao Anping didn't think too much and just quickly cleaned the case in his hands.

“This is one aspect, mainly...”

Bai Shuiliu paused and said with some hesitation, "I received a letter from home two days ago. In addition to announcing the good news, it was said that someone in the family came to propose marriage. There were a few good ones. My parents wanted me to come and see each other. See if anyone is satisfied.”

Propose marriage?

Shao Anping suddenly froze while wiping the kitchen knife. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He bit his lips and asked in a low voice, "Do you mean that uncle and aunt are planning to get you married?"

“I don’t think so. My parents just said that we should look at each other, and they also said that in the end it would be up to me. Since we are looking at each other, we may not necessarily be able to see each other, but we can’t say for sure..."

Bai Shuiliu said softly, "Anyway, we have to go back and see each other first to know the result."

Looking at each other, there are some people who don’t like it, and maybe there are some people who can like it.

And Bai Shuiliu is so sensible and filial, if there is a family here that her parents like and want her to marry, then she...

Did you just obey your parents’ wishes and agree to the marriage?

Shao Anping bit his lip and turned a little pale.

"What's wrong? Your face looks so ugly all of a sudden?" Bai Shuiliu noticed that Shao Anping was acting strangely and asked.

"No, it's nothing..." Shao Anping lowered his head slightly and hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen knives and spatulas.

Baishui Liu stopped talking when he saw that Shao Anping didn't speak anymore.

Neither of them spoke. They just finished the kitchen work and went back to their own courtyards to rest for a while.

Baishui Liu doesn't have to do some of the work that needs to be prepared before dinner, and can take a nap now, while Shao Anping can only relax a little and has to go to work.

Third-class apprentices like Shao Anping hurriedly took advantage of this moment to take a breath, drink tea, and lie down for a while.

Shao Anping went into the room and sat for a while. He didn't even bother to drink tea, so he knocked on Chef Luo's door.

“Who is it?” Chef Luo’s rich voice came from inside the room.

“Me.” Shao Anping answered.

After a while, the door was opened, and Chef Luo appeared at the door. When he saw it was Shao Anping, he laughed, "If you don't rest at this time, why did you come to see me, an old man?"

Shao Anping didn't answer, he just walked into the room and sat down on the stool.

Seeing there was tea hanging on the table, he picked it up and drank it.

The tea is warm, and the entrance temperature is okay now, but the tea seems to taste a little bitter.

Shao Anping frowned in pain.

"Looking at the grinning look on your face, I think it's probably not because of my tea. It's because you have something on your mind." Chef Luo also poured a cup of tea to drink. "The taste of this tartary buckwheat tea is originally excellent."

"There is a letter from Shuiliu's family saying that Aunt Su gave birth to a son and a daughter safely. She is expected to come to Chef Luo in the past two days to ask for leave and go back to prepare the children's full moon banquet." Shao Anping said.

“This is a happy event, as it should be.” Chef Luo nodded.

“I was afraid that Shuiliu wouldn’t be able to handle the work alone, so I thought of helping out and asking for leave with Shuiliu,” Shao Anping added.

"That's good. In case Shuiliu is too busy by himself, you can just go and bring some gifts for us." Chef Luo nodded again.

"Shui Liu also said that someone from her family came to propose marriage recently, so she is planning to go back to see if she is suitable."

“Well, yes, if there is a suitable person, we can get married as soon as possible, and someone will take care of Shuiliu, which is also a good thing..."

As Chef Luo was speaking, he saw Shao Anping's face was as gloomy as the bottom of the pot. He immediately stopped and swallowed the word "good thing" that had fallen off the tip of his tongue.

After a moment, he reached out and scratched his ears again, with a little doubt, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Shao Anping glanced at Chef Luo and didn't answer. He spoke after a while, "I remember that my mother said she would come to Fucheng in the near future?"

"Well, that's what Madam said in her letter. If we count the days..." Chef Luo made a rough estimate, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face, "If it doesn't happen, it will be the day when you and Shui Liu will take leave together."

"That's just right. When my mother arrives, you can tell her to go to Zeng Yin County to find me." Shao Anping said.

"I can help convey it, but if Madam asks me what you are doing there, how should I answer?" Chef Luo asked.

"Don't worry, my mother won't ask." Shao Anping thought for a moment, then added, "But it doesn't hurt to ask. Just say that I didn't say anything. Anyway, my temper doesn't change every day. Mom knows it too.”

That's true.

Chef Luo strongly agrees with this point. After all, this master has never been a person who does things according to common sense.

For example, the good young master of Hongyun Tower is not the right one, but he wants to work as a third-class apprentice in Hongyun Tower in Fucheng. He is called around all day long and ordered to do various chores, but he seems to be very happy.

“Yeah.” Chef Luo nodded, “I understand.”

“It’s done, Chef Luo, let’s take a rest now. It’s time for me to get busy now.” Shao Anping stood up and went to the kitchen.

"Then you go and do your work first." Chef Luo sent them off briefly. When he arrived at the door, he saw that there were many people outside, so he didn't send more out. He just went back and poured another cup of tartary buckwheat tea to drink.

After drinking two drinks in succession, he stopped, thinking carefully about what Shao Anping had just told him, and thinking about how to tell his wife about it when she came.

While thinking about this, I was suddenly stunned.

Baishui Liu is going home to hold a full moon party for his younger siblings, and Shao Anping has to take leave to accompany him.

Baishui Liu said that the family arranged a mutual visit, and he said it was a good thing. Shao Anping immediately turned dark.

Shao Anping wants his wife to go to Zengyin County...

Hey guys, this is going to be something big!

Chef Luo took a few sips of tea.

On the second day, Bai Shuiliu came to Chef Luo to tell him about asking for leave.
