That night, when she was going to bed, Li Hongmei didn't know why. She called ah Xian to her room and said that Baozhu was not here now. She wanted to have a company with ah Xian.
When Li Hongmei was looking for ah Xian, she shouted loudly at the door of her room. She deliberately shouted so that ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan heard it.
Ye Xiaoxian thinks Li Hongmei has something to say. It seems that she is creating a condition for her to get along with Xiao Baoshan alone.
But now that she has just experienced Xiao Baozhu, ye Xiaoxian has no leisure for the time being.
Xiao Baoshan must be afraid and not in the mood.
After eating, ye Xiaoxian simply washed, and then she was ready to go back to bed.
After closing the door, I was about to take off my coat and go to bed when there were several "Dong Dong" knocks outside the door.
Ye Xiaoxian intuitively said that the person outside the door was Xiao Baoshan.
Her heart suddenly trembled.
What's he doing here? Is she going to let him in? After he came in, they were alone and widowed. What would happen then?
Ye Xiaoxian was struggling when the knock on the door outside rang again.
Ye Xiaoxian didn't hesitate too long, and then went to open the door.
Outside the door was the tall figure of Xiaobao mountain. In the night, his eyes were like stars in the night sky.
"Leaf, can we talk?" Xiao Baoshan asked.
Ye Xiaoxian thought, where to talk? Come in and talk?
After talking? Alas, she doesn't believe that men and women will talk in the middle of the night. Unless a woman's great aunt and a man's incompetence, something will happen.
Xiao Baoshan pointed to the roof: "let's talk up there."
That's fine.
After a long time, they flew to the roof again. This time, Xiao Baoshan still flew up with Ye Xiaoxian around his waist.
After sitting down, Xiao Baoshan put half of his cloak on Ye Xiaoxian.
The cloak was still warm with his residual temperature, which gave birth to a trace of warmth and ambiguity.
Ye Xiaoxian didn't know what to talk about, so she rubbed her hands and took a mouthful of heating. The roof was really cold. Alas, it's better not to come up early. Just chat below.
"Leaf, are you cold?" Xiao Baoshan asked again.
"Fortunately, it's not very cold." Ye Xiaoxian said.
"That's good."
"By the way, when you went to see Baozhu, did you fly to the roof to see her?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
Xiao Baoshan nodded: "this can save a lot of things."
"I'm also responsible for Baozhu. In fact, I found out that she likes Mr. Wang, but I didn't pay much attention to her. I just reminded her a little. I didn't expect that she likes Mr. Wang so much and finally did such a thing." Ye Xiaoxian is sorry.
"It's not your fault. Baozhu is confused. It's hard for you to manage the restaurant alone. It's impossible to cover everything. If you must be held accountable, I should bear the responsibility."
"You are a man, and you are not at home for a long time. How can you bear the responsibility? We can't control her at home."
Xiao Baoshan sighed slightly: "don't talk about Baozhu, ye, have you had a good time?"
"Except for Baozhu, I have a headache. Everything else is OK." When Baozhu's story first came out, the business of the restaurant was affected, and there were many fewer diners. After the storm subsided, the passenger flow gradually recovered.
"Hard work!" Xiaobao mountain road.
Then Xiao Baoshan handed a bag of silver to Ye Xiaoxian: "this is the money I earned during this period. I'll give it to you for safekeeping."
This bag of silver is heavy. It's all his hard-earned money.
Ye Xiaoxian took it over and weighed it. It looked like more than ten Liang.
Xiao Baoshan said again, "leaf, if you have enough money, you and your mother will pay attention to the city and see where the house is sold. Let's buy a new house and don't have to live in this backyard.
Ye Xiaoxian said, "you know, I've saved some in recent months. Plus yours, it's OK to buy a general yard."
"..." they sat on the roof for some time, but there was no actual progress in the end. Later, ye Xiaoxian yawned, Xiao Baoshan took her down, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.
At night, ye Xiaoxian lay alone in bed, thinking about the scene of just snuggling up with Xiao Baoshan on the roof.
Strange to say, she didn't feel it at that time, but every time she came down from the roof, she would miss him a little.
It's really slow to respond to love.
……
Xiao Baoshan came back this time as he did last time. He helped Ye Xiaoxian burn a fire and fight at home. Sometimes he would stare at Ye Xiaoxian quietly. When ye Xiaoxian saw his eyes, she would subconsciously shake her hands, causing her to be splashed with vegetable oil twice.
Ye Xiaoxian was very uncomfortable. She didn't expect that xiaobaoshan, a man as strong as an ox, would be so implicit when he showed his kindness to a woman. She would rather he put her down directly.
It's just she didn't mean to say.
Fortunately, xiaobaoshan didn't come back and left in two days.
After Xiao Baoshan left, ye Xiaoxian and Li Hongmei went to see their new house when they were free.
Qinghe County is too small, and there is no real estate these days. We can only see who has vacant houses in the city to sell or sell, or who has lost gambling and lost the house.
After seeing two places, I was not satisfied. One was too far from the restaurant and the other looked too old. It took a lot of time and energy to repair it.
Once, Li Hongmei heard a diner say that there was a small yard nearby to be sold. The place was originally inhabited by a family of scholars. After the scholars came to the provincial capital as a job, they took their elderly parents and prepared to sell it.
Li Hongmei asked a few more questions. The diner simply took them to see the house.
The house where scholars have lived has always been much more expensive than the house where merchants have lived, but a small courtyard costs eighty-two silver coins.
But the small yard was very elegant. Ye Xiaoxian liked it very much. Moreover, the house was square and square. Like a quadrangle, there were five rooms, one for each person.
In one of the study rooms, there are still many books that have not been moved away. Xiao Baofeng can stay here, so Xiao Baofeng doesn't have to squeeze with ah Wu and ah Liu.
The most rare thing is that there is a small fish pond in the middle of the yard, in which several Koi are raised. Orchids are planted next to the fish pond, which is very tasteful.
After the original owner left, he gave the key and the deed to the diner. Li Hongmei and ye Xiaoxian both read the deed and asked someone to identify it. There will be no fake.
Ye Xiaoxian calculated the money she had saved and added it from Xiao Baoshan. She found that it was just eighty Liang.
They found the diner again and said they would buy the yard.
In ancient times, there were also various procedures for buying a house. They had to go to the government for filing and painting. They had to wait for the scholar to come back. Another half a month later, they finally took down the small yard.
As soon as Li Hongmei and ye Xiaoxian got the house, they hurried to clean it up.
The house is well maintained. It is clean and bright. Even the furniture is fresh and elegant. They just need to move in their clothes.
Ye Xiaoxian gave Li Hongmei the house in the East. She asked for a small room in the west, one for xiaobaofeng and one for xiaobaoshan, and one for a guest room.
As for ah Wu, ah Liu and ah Xian, they continue to live in the yard behind the restaurant, so that the owner and the long-term worker don't have to squeeze together every day.
……
Besides Xiao Baozhu.
During this period of time, Wang Xiucai shut himself in his study every day, but in fact he didn't read much.
Xiao Baozhu is in a bad mood, and he will get married again in a few days. During this time, the Wang family is arranging and managing the marriage. Sometimes the Housekeeper will come and ask him some opinions, such as what style of wedding clothes to wear, what kind of lanterns to be used on the wedding day, etc.
He is going to live with another person every day. When he thinks of his married life, he is not in the mood to read.
And Xiao Baozhu has become more and more discouraged during this period of time.
When she first entered the Wang family, the family was still normal. Now Wang Xiucai's wedding date is approaching day by day. There are red lanterns and color bars everywhere in the house, and she hasn't met Wang Xiucai several times.
Ah Wu came over the day before yesterday to send a message saying that her sister-in-law had bought a new house and asked her if she had time to come back or come back directly. She wanted to cry very much at that time. I don't know why she had to endure such a hard time in the Wang family.
But women are like this. Sometimes suffering is not to move others, but to move themselves. The more difficult it is, the more she has to endure.
After ah Wu came back, he told his family about Baozhu.
Xiao Baozhu has lost a lot of weight. When she left home, she weighed 90 Jin. Now it is estimated that she weighs only 80 Jin.
Li Hongmei and ye Xiaoxian were distressed.
……
Ye Xiaoxian was worried about how to go in and find Xiao Baozhu when the housekeeper of the Wang family came.
Last time, ye Xiaoxian gave a full moon banquet to the tax official's house. That full moon banquet attracted the attention of many people. These people also asked the tax official which chef did it. The tax official directly said that ye Xiaoxian, a "Xiao family food", did it.
Now Wang Xiucai is going to have a wedding banquet, and the rural gentry Wang also found many cooks, but many of them are not at ease. Later, it was said that the tax official had a wedding banquet at home, which was highly praised. He asked housekeeper Wang to inquire about it, and finally found Ye Xiaoxian.
If it were normal, ye Xiaoxian wouldn't cook this meal, but now housekeeper Wang's price is high, and Xiao Baozhu is also in the Wang family, ye Xiaoxian thinks this is a good opportunity.
She soon agreed.
……
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the day when Wang Xiucai got married.
That day, ye Xiaoxian arrived at the Wang's house early.
The ingredients were listed two days ago and asked the Wang family to buy them. After checking the ingredients, she said to the humanitarian person in charge of the kitchen: "you can ask Baozhu to help me. She used to help me at home. I'm used to using her."
Before long, they brought Xiao Baozhu.
Ye Xiaoxian was angry and distressed at the sight of Xiao Baozhu.
They are poorly dressed. They don't wear a pair of cotton padded shoes in winter. The cotton padded clothes are also gray, and the cloth is coarse and rough. Not only that, Baozhu also lost a big circle.
Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help walking to Xiao Baozhu and said, "Baozhu, you should wake up after tossing around for so many days. Come home with me tonight!"
"I don't!" Xiao Baozhu still refused.
There are many people in the kitchen, and Baozhu is not convenient to elaborate. She only said, "sister-in-law, don't force me. Let me come and help you, but I won't go back with you."
"You... Alas!" Ye Xiaoxian was really helpless. It was not good to force her at this time. She only said, "then work first."
