After circling the city in a circle, the two of them returned to the city to take a trip to the Zhao residence and then to the restaurant.

Seeing the two return so quickly, Butler Xu was confused, "Didn't they say we were going back to the village? How did they return so quickly?"

Cheng Xi sighed, and said listlessly: "I'm not returning."

Seeing that Cheng Xi was not willing to say anything, and did not reply, Butler Xu did not continue asking, calling out to the two of them, "With Xiong Da and Xiong Er's help, both of you are tired, rest today."

Towards the person who called out Yu Zhaocai, Butler Xu was not polite at all. If it was before, Butler Xu would fear and loathe people like Yu Zhaocai, then after that, Yu Zhaocai would head towards the restaurant everyday, and after getting familiar with him, he would feel that this person was not so hateful. Gradually, the fear and disgust faded away.

Cheng Xi was so annoyed that she did not want to do anything, so she apologetically nodded towards Butler Xu, then headed towards the small courtyard in the dorm.

Xu Sanlang also followed behind Cheng Xi. Seeing Cheng Xi on the bed weakly, Xu Sanlang said with a guilty face, "I have let you suffer grievances."

Cheng Xi tilted her head and looked at Xu Sanlang who was lying on the bed, then turned and continued to look at the roof, she was not one of those rascals from Xu Family, and this matter could not be blamed on him, it was probably her life, in this life, she had given her a healthy body, just that her life had been too rough.

Thinking about his previous life, Cheng Xi instantly braced herself, consoling herself with the thought that no matter how tough it was, at least she was healthy and healthy for the rest of her life. When she woke up from her sleep, it was a new day.

Thinking about that, Cheng Xi closed her eyes and quickly entered into dreamland.

Xu Sanlang looked at the silent Cheng Xi lying on the bed. Since she had admitted Cheng Xi's identity, as a man, he knew her responsibilities towards Cheng Xi.

It was precisely because of this that he felt apologetic for causing Cheng Xi to continuously follow him and suffer grievance. However, looking at this Cheng Xi who didn't make a sound, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart, as he wanted to know what exactly she was thinking in her heart.

After standing for a while, just as she was about to ask, she realized that Cheng Xi did not seem to be silent, and called her softly. As expected, there was no reaction, Xu Sanlang's head was full of black lines, as though she had been thinking about nothing for a long time.

He went over and covered her with the blanket. He was still unsatisfied with being disturbed, so he turned his head with a pout and went back to sleep.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi who was curled up inside the blanket. It was so small that he seemed to have forgotten that Cheng Xi was only eleven or twelve years old.

However, ever since he had known her, his life had changed day by day. He had become more and more familiar with the place. He had learned to do everything by himself, from being delicate and innocent at the start to finally getting used to it.

However, she seemed to know everything. She actually knew things she didn't know or even heard about.

Such a small figure couldn't be understood with common sense. He was very curious about what was in her head.

It didn't look like he had lost his memory, but more like a completely different person.

Xu Sanlang immediately shook his head, shaking off the wild thoughts in his head, and pulled at the blanket on Cheng Xi, then turned and left.

After that, the two of them temporarily put aside their plans of returning to the village, and didn't even go out that much, as they were worried that they would meet people from Xu Family in the county city. Yu Zhaocai had come to the village a few times, and brought them news, that Old Madam Xu was actually inquiring about them from all over the restaurants in the county city.

Cheng Xi was worried that the Old Madam Xu would cause trouble, so she specially went outside to ask for the Shopkeeper Xia's help, and got him to greet everyone in the restaurant.

Seeing that the two of them not only knew Boss Zhao, but were also familiar with Yu Zhaocai at the head of the small overlord land, Shopkeeper Xia was even more attentive towards the two.

The people from the kitchen obviously didn't need Butler Xu to help them. Cheng Xi told everyone that she understood.

Like this, the two of them were comfortably staying in the restaurant and were not found by the Xu Family people.

Xu Wenyu and Yu Zhaocai had Yu Zhaocai's protection, although he wanted to know the whereabouts of the two, he did not dare to openly find people, and even more so did not dare to find Yu Zhaocai.

After a long time, seeing that the two of them seemed to have disappeared from the city, they gradually stopped. Old Madam Xu also brought the Xu Family people back to the village.

Cheng Xi's culinary skills were becoming more and more refined, to the point where he was more proficient than blue. Xu Sanlang's strength, in the kitchen, was actually a little overkill, but since Xu Sanlang was willing to guard Cheng Xi and stay at the back of the kitchen, everyone did not say anything.

As the days passed, the weather also gradually became colder. In the blink of an eye, they had already donned their cotton-padded jackets, and the end of the year was nearing, the two of them began to prepare to return to the village. During the new year, the restaurant would close, and everyone in the restaurant would have to return home to celebrate the new year.

Because the business of the second half of the Ruyi Restaurant was better, it had increased by almost multiple times compared to the first half of the year. When Shopkeeper Xia handed over the account book to him, the owner of the restaurant was overjoyed.

However, Cheng Xi and Cheng Xi did not rush back, because they had received news from Wang Ying that Boss Zhao would be returning from Prefecture City in the next two days. Naturally, Second Brother would follow him back too, so the two decided to stay in the city and wait for them.

When everyone in the restaurant had left, they arranged for the few people in the town to take turns looking at the shop, but they only came in the night, it was cold and lonely, Wang Ying ordered the two of them to stay with her after hearing about it.

However, Xu Sanlang felt that it was not right, it was fine for him to stay here, but he himself was also staying, and Boss Zhao was not home, at that time, it would not be good for word to spread.

However, he was already used to being with Cheng Xi, and being left alone in the tavern made him feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it was rare for Xu Sanlang to make the decision on his own, and before Cheng Xi could even reply, she had already started rejecting him.

The restaurant was not open for business and there was nothing to do. The two stayed in the empty restaurant, but they were not used to it. Thus, the two went out for a stroll and bought quite a few things before returning to the restaurant.

As the weather grew colder, Cheng Xi simply holed herself up in bed and counted the wages for the past few months. Xu Sanlang sat by the side of the table, flipping through the books the two had bought while strolling around the place.

Cheng Xi turned it over and over again, and even with the exception of the silver she had to give to Old Madam Xu, the money they had saved up was already more than what they had expected. Adding the red and white money they had at the end of the year, they had a total of five taels of silver.

According to Cheng Xi's understanding these past few months, the five taels of silver could already do quite a lot of things. But after thinking about her current situation, Cheng Xi sighed, looked at the money in her hands, and muttered, "I don't have the chance to spend the money I'm looking at."

This was the private money that was hidden by the Xu Family, and it was much more than the amount that was given to the Xu Family.
