After a while, Xia Li saw a person beside Sun Chun — — Grandma Wang.
It was unknown if it was because of the dazzle in Xia Li's eyes that she saw the Grandma Wang today, but she felt that it had become a little different from before. Her clothes were even more clean and tidy than before, and there was even a wooden hairpin stuck onto the white hair bun.
Xia Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This guy really eats both men and women, young and old.
Without waiting for Xia Li to speak, the other waiters had already picked up their food boxes and headed to Sun Chun's place to greet him.
When Sun Chun looked over, he saw Xia Li and squinted his eyes. With a smile, he walked towards her.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Eat your food."
Xia Li said as he angrily shoved the food box into his hands.
Sun Chun did not get angry, instead, he laughed and opened the box. He looked at the chicken leg, tofu, vegetables and sweet soup inside, and exclaimed.
"The food looks really bountiful. Sorry for the trouble, young lad."
When the Grandma Wang heard the commotion, she walked towards Sun Chun's direction and looked at him as well. This scared her to the point that she hurriedly hid behind Sun Chun.
However, Sun Chun acted as if he was doing it on purpose, stepped away, and pulled Xia Li in front of Grandma Wang.
"Aiyo, this young fellow is so ugly, you should leave quickly, so as not to ruin the appetite of our Young Master Sun." The Grandma Wang took the food from Sun Chun's hands and helped him cloth the dishes.
"Granny is right, this young man is really ugly. Let's go, she really affects people's appetite." Sun Chun coughed lightly, almost laughing out loud. He glanced at Xia Li's awkward expression, then walked to the courtyard with Grandma Wang, and called the other workers to come over to eat.
Although Xia Li teased Xia Li, she was still very happy.
The Grandma Wang did not recognize her, but Sun Chun recognized her with a single glance.
For some reason, Xia Li felt extremely happy in her heart, she was not willing to think deeper about it, and stood alone at the side, secretly observing Sun Chun.
After Sun Chun sent away the Grandma Wang, he waited until the workers had finished eating, then ordered the waiters to pack up the food. Taking the chance, he pulled Xia Li and went to the corner.
"Silly girl, did you eat by yourself?"
"Not yet. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I ordered a meal in advance at a small restaurant and brought it over to you."
At this time, Xia Li realized that she had only been paying attention to Sun Chun stealthily and that she had not eaten. The moment she reminded him, her stomach would growl instead.
"I'll be eating by myself when I get back to town. As for you guys, according to the current progress, do you need another day's time tomorrow? It looks like there's quite a lot of work to do."
Xia Li was busy changing the topic, not wanting to be made fun of by the Sun Chun in front of him.
"The yard is more or less cleaned, the important thing is the house, the roof needs to be renovated, the windows need to be renovated, the kitchen stove and the fire kang also need to be repaired. We don't have enough people, so it will take more time."
Sun Chun said as he looked at the courtyard in front of him.
"Thank you for your hard work. Yesterday, I bought you some books and a bookshelf. I don't know if it's something you like, but if you turn around and see if it's suitable, you can go back and buy a new one." After Xia Li finished speaking, he watched Sun Chun's reaction.
"Alright, I'll go back and take a look. If you really don't like it, then I'll leave. I'll choose by myself." Sun Chun did not have the pleasant surprise that Xia Li had expected, instead, he thought about it in a straight forward manner, and replied Xia Li.
"Ha, then you have to take a good look. It's not appropriate, go and exchange for yourself. I'll be leaving first. I'm going to starve to death."
After Xia Li finished speaking, she pulled her little face and called for the rest of the restaurant employees to get on the carriage for the return journey.
Sun Chun looked at the horse carriage in the distance, a sly look flashing past his eyes.
This girl always wanted him to praise her, but he just couldn't compare to her. She wondered if she would rebel after so long.
Sun Chun could not help but to have more anticipation towards Xia Li's next reaction, but his good mood only lasted for a moment, when he sensed someone approaching from behind, he immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and vigilantly turned to look at the approaching person.
"Young Master Sun, I have helped you clean up your room tonight. Do you want to take a look?" Grandma Wang did not expect Sun Chun to react so quickly. Just as she approached, Sun Chun had already turned around and discovered her. She held her heart, and asked carefully.
"Grandma Wang, thank you for taking me in. This is just a small amount of money, you take care of it. You can use it to buy medicine for elder."
Sun Chun took a few dozen gold coins from his sleeve and gave it to Grandma Wang before pulling him to sit on a low stool to the side.
"Then, I'll have to thank young master. Actually, when Xia Li that girl bought my house, she had already given me 10 taels of silver, and now you are giving it to me again, I, this old lady, have really earned it."
Grandma Wang was so happy that he kept the money in his pocket, smiling so happily that his face was full of wrinkles.
"It was also Xia Li's good fortune to have met such a good senior, and yet she was still willing to sell the house to her."
As Sun Chun said that, he also sat down and started chatting with the Grandma Wang.
If my son is still alive now, he would be at the same age as you, young master, and this old woman might even be able to hug his grandson. It's a pity, his life is short and he left at such a young age, leaving the old man and I with no one to rely on.
As Grandma Wang said till here, he couldn't help but wipe the tears off the corners of his eyes, and said this to Sun Chun embarrassedly.
This person is old, and is old. I can't help but reminisce about the past, Young Master Sun, don't mind him, as long as Xia Li this girl doesn't give me any trouble, implicate me and the old man, in any case, this house has already been sold to her, no matter how long she likes to live here, it will all be up to me.
"Don't worry Grandma, we won't disturb your life with Grandfather." Sun Chun comforted the Grandma Wang.
"That's good, young man, Grandma believes in you. Young people are good, they look so talented. Xia Li, that girl, is truly fortunate to meet someone as good as you."
Grandma Wang looked at Sun Chun and liked him a lot, so he couldn't help but praise him.
"Grandma, you're too kind. I just left you and the elder some food. Take it with you." As Sun Chun said this, he sent the bowls of vegetables and steamed buns that he left alone to the Grandma Wang.
"Why is there such a need for such delicious food?" Grandma Wang could not help but drool as he watched, but he still gave in politely.
"Elder, take it away. I still have to disturb you tonight. If you don't take it, how can I have the face to stay here?" "Take it." Sun Chun handed the bowl over to the Grandma Wang.
"Okay, okay. In the future, when I am neighbors with Young Master Sun, I, this old woman, can finally be at ease. You are a young man who understands etiquette." Grandma Wang took the food and brought it back to his own courtyard.
Once the Grandma Wang left, Sun Chun glanced at the busy people in the courtyard.
What should come will eventually come. No matter how beautifully he said earlier, nothing would change. He was able to help that silly girl a little, a little.
Sun Chun stopped thinking about it and focused on helping the bricklayers and the carpenters repair the courtyard.
With such a large commotion from building the house, it naturally attracted the attention of some good people from the Tianshui Village.
There were people who had already snuck over to pay a visit, and especially upon seeing such an outstanding young man like Sun Chun, they had immediately spread the news to every corner of the village.
In less than half a day's time, many young girls from the village, who used the excuse of mutual friendship and friendship, came over to deliver food to Sun Chun. They wanted to get closer to the man they liked.
There were also young men who wanted to find a job and earn some money, but they all came over to help Sun Chun repair the house.
Everyone knew that the courtyard that Sun Chun was repairing belonged to the Grandma Wang, so the more straightforward girls had already secretly brought the matchmaker over to Grandma Wang's home to inquire about Sun Chun's identity and background. The courtyard that was quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively.
A girl dressed in a red dress ran in front of Sun Chun, held onto a box, and leaned in close to as she spoke softly.
"Young master, it's not good to be empty-handed when seeing you for the first time. This is the Peach Blossom Meet that I made myself, you can try it!" With that, the lady in red opened the box with her bare hands and placed a piece of Peach Blossom fragrant pastries into Sun Chun's mouth.
I think it's best if I take a sip. I can make spring tea, but this water is from the deep pond of the Water God Temple, it's especially thirsty, Young Noble, take a sip. " The fat green dressed lady carried a pot of tea and blocked Sun Chun's path.
"Young master, I'm sure you've never tasted our village's spring cake before. This is something I've just made. How about you give it a try?"
Sun Chun looked at the circle of girls who had automatically delivered themselves to his doorstep, and avoided them without leaving a trace. He knew that these people were approaching with good intentions, but he felt annoyed in his heart for no reason.
"Young Master Sun, a matchmaker came to my house, intending to inquire about your background. I wonder, what kind of girl do you like, what do you think?" Grandma Wang, whose face was filled with curiosity, left for less than half a day and then came to Sun Chun's side, asking for his opinion.
Even the men who were initially busy working in the courtyard couldn't help but look enviously at Sun Chun, who was surrounded by a group of girls.
Some of them wanted to watch the show, but there were even some who were eating their food. This Sun Chun truly pleased women, the heavens were truly unfair!
Sun Chun suddenly missed Xia Li extra.
If this silly girl was here, she would have easily chased away all these girls.
Right now, it was the time for him to beg others for help. If he wore a cold face and chased them away, he would probably offend everyone before he could even establish his feet in Tianshui Village …
"Young Master Sun, what exactly are you thinking? Are you worried that the girl will come and find trouble with you if she finds out?" Grandma Wang whispered into Sun Chun's ear with a gossipy expression.
"Mm …" If she finds out, she'll play with me for three days and three nights. "
