Chapter 449

Because of curiosity, ye Xiaoxian asked the waiter, "what's the name of the shopkeeper here?"

"Shopkeeper's?" The waiter said, "are you from other places? Don't you know our shopkeeper? Our shopkeeper is a woman named Ah Xiang."

"Ah Xiang?"

Isn't that the girl Ye Xiaoxian hired when she opened a restaurant?

She even opened a restaurant and learned the dishes made by Ye Xiaoxian.

After the waiter left, Li Hongmei asked her, "do you want to talk to Ah Xiang?"

Ye Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said, "forget it. When we had an accident and sent others away, she might think of some bad things."

"Yes, I'm the shopkeeper now. Besides, I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know what to talk about."

After a while, the dishes came up. Ye Xiaoxian ordered all the signature dishes, boiled fish, spicy pot and so on.

Everyone began to use chopsticks. Others said the dish was well cooked and tasted good.

But Xiao Baoshan felt that something was missing.

Of course, ye Xiaoxian also tasted it. Ah Xiang learned her dishes, only one shape, but no God. Several cooking steps were missed, and two spices were not put.

She didn't say anything at dinner. After dinner, she went to the counter to ask for paper and pen, wrote a few lines, and then checked out.

When delivering the silver, she handed the paper to the accountant in front, and then said, "this is for your shopkeeper."

"This..." the accountant was puzzled.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "it's very important. Give it to her and she will understand."

The accountant said, "the shopkeeper is not in the store, but she will come in the evening. I'll give it to her in the evening."

"Yes." Ye Xiaoxian smiled and went out with everyone.

……

Full of wine and food, the next step is to wander around.

Xiaobaoshan has a patrol mission, so he took everyone around the county and found no problems. As the innkeeper said, the public security environment here is very good, everywhere is thriving, and there is no bitter hatred on the faces of the people. Everyone should live a good life.

Then go back to the former Daliang village.

A group of people drove back to Daliang village and looked very ostentatious, so they got off at the head of the village. Xiaobai and his wife Xiao Baoshan, Li Hongmei and two children came into the village together.

Today they dress low-key, just ordinary people dress up.

After entering the village, I found that the village has also changed a lot.

After a war, the village has been rebuilt. Even some trees have been cut down. Occasionally, I see some villagers, but I don't know them.

It was not until they entered the innermost part of the village that they saw an old man, who was also looking at them.

Li Hongmei recognized it first and shouted, "fourth Uncle Chen?"

After staring for a long time, Uncle Chen said, "are you... The second sister-in-law of the Xiao family?"

"Oh, Uncle Chen, it's really you." Li Hongmei led the children over.

Fourth Uncle Chen looked very excited when he saw Li Hongmei: "Xiao's second sister-in-law, how... How did you come back? Where have you been these years? And, where's your Xiao old man?"

Li Hongmei was also excited when she saw her old friend: "Hey, I've been outside all these years. Now my life is stable, so come back and have a look. Are you the only one left in our village?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Chen burst into tears: "no, alas, those... Things inferior to animals entered the village, killed people and set fire to the village. We didn't escape. The young were taken into the army, and the women were... Finally, we were left. Alas, it's really animals. Fortunately, you escaped. It's right to escape."

Li Hongmei didn't know what to say when she thought of the tragedy of that year.

Fourth Uncle Chen said, "by the way, what are you doing back now? Your house was already occupied by people who fled from other places. If you want to go back to your house now, I'm afraid you have to go to the Yamen to find the master. After all, they have lived here for a long time."

"No, no, we're not here for a house, we're just coming back to see the village."

"What about the old Xiao man?" Fourth master Chen asked again.

"My father-in-law is old and in poor health. He left earlier, but he walked peacefully, and the children were all around."

"Iron and copper trees, are they all right?"

"All good, all good..."

“……”

Li Hongmei exchanged greetings with fourth master Chen for a long time. When she left, ye Xiaoxian secretly stuffed two liang of silver into fourth master Chen's pocket.

……

On the way back, Dongdong and Xiaoxia were silent.

They didn't see the tragedy of the war in those years, but from everyone's reaction, they also realized that the situation was very miserable. There were so many people in the village who fled and walked, but there were few left.

Li Hongmei said with emotion: "I was lucky to hear ye's words and wanted to escape, otherwise we... Alas, we must have died now. So many people in the village have survived."

After that, she told Xiao Baoshan: "Baoshan, Ye is an unusual woman. She brings blessings to our family and is my mother's life-saving benefactor. You should never bear her in the future. Even if my mother is gone, you should treat her well."

Xiao Baoshan said, "Mom, how can I bear her? I swore that I only like her in my life. Besides, mom is in good health now. Why do you say she's going to die?"

Ye Xiaoxian also said, "yes, mom, you can live a long, long life in the future. Don't say these bad words now."

Li Hongmei still sighed: "Alas, life and death are destiny, but my mother tries to live well and can accompany you one more day."

……

After the party returned to the county, it was already dark. They ate at a restaurant and then went to the inn.

When the innkeeper saw that they were back, he quickly took out a piece of paper and told ye Xiaoxian, "my female guest, someone just came to you. It seems that she is the innkeeper of the restaurant in front."

"Is it Ah Xiang?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.

"I don't know the specific name. She waited for you here for half an hour. When she saw that you didn't come back, she left."

Ye Xiaoxian used to pick up the paper and spread it out. There were only two words "thank you" on it, and drew a smiling face.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled.

A Xiang is a person she has brought with her. Her style is very similar to her. She used to like drawing a smiling face. A Xiang has learned it now.

……

Ye Xiaoxian was about to go upstairs when she heard someone calling her.

The voice is weak. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.
