Cheng Dafu suspiciously looked at the youth who was quietly sitting beside Cheng Chen, and asked Cheng Chen, "This is?"

Before waiting for Cheng Chen to speak, Cheng Dahua could not help but open his mouth first, and laughed as he replied, "Haha, you can't recognize me anymore, right? In the beginning, I did not recognize him as well. He was the Xu Sanlang that Xi married half a year ago. "

When Cheng Dafu heard his words, he couldn't help but size Xu Sanlang up carefully. The Lady Yu was the same as well, the two of them were shocked when they saw the change in Xu Sanlang, but they didn't expect that he had only been in the county city for half a year, and it was as if he had become a completely different person.

After looking around, he could not help but nod his head and praise him, "Young lad, you're not bad, you're much stronger than that fat pig Xu Erlang.

Hearing Cheng Dafu's description, Cheng Xi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Although Xu Erlang was a bit fat, but he wasn't as fat as a pig, but in Cheng Dafu's mouth, his tone made it seem as if Xu Erlang was a pig.

As for Xu Sanlang's disorderly reputation, it was completely out of Cheng Dafu's consideration. If he was to care about his disorderly reputation, he probably wouldn't have spent all these years messing with a brothel girl.

Xu Sanlang did not reveal any emotion when Cheng Dafu praised him, but he still politely replied, "Thank you for your praise, Uncle."

Thinking that it was getting late, Lady Wu said goodbye to everyone and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Ma Xiufeng also got up and went to the kitchen to help.

However, the moment Lady Yu opened her mouth, she was stopped by Cheng Dafu. Old Madam Cheng was concerned about Lady Yu's stomach and agreed with Cheng Dafu's actions.

Cheng Xi sat in the room and chatted with the people for a while, but because of the addition of the Old Madam Cheng, the conversation in the room gradually started to escalate to the topic of who had a new wife and who had a new wife. Cheng Xi was not clear about anyone in the village, but of course he was not interested in gossip.

This Xu Sanlang was the same as Cheng Xi, she was not interested in the gossip in the village and was not willing to interject, quietly sitting by the side. Seeing that Cheng Xi had gone out, he stood up and followed him out.

The rest of the people in the room were slightly older, and were quite interested in who had a son and a daughter. Thus, they didn't pay much attention to the two of them suddenly leaving the room.

Cheng Xi went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife, and then carried the Loach in the wooden bucket to the side of the kitchen to handle it, this thing was too dirty to be taken care of, in the courtyard Cheng Xi was afraid of dirtying the courtyard.

Cheng Cai had always been in the courtyard without entering, and that was a habit he had formed a long time ago. As long as there were other Cheng Family Member s here, he would normally stay alone in the courtyard, trying to reduce the feeling of his own existence as much as possible. Even if the Old Madam Cheng's attitude had changed, Cheng Cai had never gone to any of the people in the Cheng Family to stand in front of them.

When Cheng Xi went to the kitchen and brought out a wooden bucket, Xu Sanlang coincidentally came out of the house, and Cheng Cai also put down what she was doing. The two of them went towards the kitchen at the same time.

Of course, the two of them had already realized their goal, but both of them actually started walking faster, unwilling to fall behind, for fear that the pail in Cheng Xi's hands would fall into their hands first. Both of them were tall and strong, and with their rapid steps, Cheng Xi reckoned that they had only taken two steps forward, and the two in front of them were like two mountains that were pressing down on top of her head.

Then, both of his hands simultaneously reached towards the barrel in Cheng Xi's hands, forming a situation where Cheng Xi's hands were in the middle of the bucket's handle, with one on each side and he was not giving in at all.

The corner of Cheng Xi's eyes twitched, she did not understand why the two of them would snatch her wooden barrel, so she decided to let go and take a step back. However, the two of them still held onto the small and exquisite wooden bucket, crossed her chest and laughed, "What, you two have fallen for this wooden bucket?"

The reason why Cheng Cai came over was to help Cheng Xi carry the vat, and when he saw Xu Sanlang, he thought that Xu Sanlang had the same goal as him. Cheng Cai himself didn't know why, but he wanted to argue with Xu Sanlang, maybe because he was already used to Xi relying on him, but suddenly relying on someone else made him feel uncomfortable, so Cheng Cai analyzed himself.

But Xu Sanlang knew what Cheng Xi was trying to do. After Cheng Xi finished speaking, before she could even react, Xu Sanlang answered, "Aren't you going to burn them red later? "I'm good at cleaning up."

After saying that, Xu Sanlang used a bit more strength in his hand, wanting to take all the barrels from Cheng Cai's hands.

Cheng Cai, who was still in a daze, was pulled by Xu Sanlang in this way, and with a frown, he asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Xu Sanlang squeezed out a smile on his face and asked: "Fourth Brother will deal with these loaches?"

Only then did Cheng Cai notice what was in the barrel, seeing that it was a loach, he shook his head in a daze, then continued, "Since Fourth Brother does not know how to use it, let me do it." After saying that, he used more strength to remind Cheng Cai to let go.

Although Cheng Cai was unwilling, he still obediently let go of his. He hadn't entered the kitchen for too many times, and he would probably be able to get a fire going if he was asked to. But to let him handle this slippery thing, he really didn't know where to start.

Finally, he had gotten his wish, and the smile on Xu Sanlang's face became even wider, and he turned to Cheng Xi and asked: Where should I go?

Seeing that the two of them were no longer fighting over the barrels, Cheng Xi did not continue arguing over why the two of them were fighting over the barrels, and went forward to lead the way, and answered, "Go to the side of the garden at the back to get them, or else the courtyard will be dirty."

Cheng Cai looked at the two's departing figures, shook his head, and snorted at Xu Sanlang's departing back. Then, he went back to continue repairing his own bench.

Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang one behind, just as they left the house, they were blocked at the door by a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman stuck her head out and obviously wandered around for a long time, yet pretended to accidentally meet Cheng Xi and greeted him, "Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this Xi and? I heard that the two of them changed a lot, and this is true. If I didn't meet them at the Cheng Family entrance, I wouldn't even dare to go up and greet them. "

Cheng Xi sized up the woman who blocked her path. His round face was round and round, and when she smiled, only a few cracks could be seen on his round face, but she had some impression of this kind of appearance, as if she was close by.

The woman's following words and actions, however, made Cheng Xi slightly frown.

Cheng Xi's attitude caused the middle-aged woman to be startled, the smile on her face stiffened for a second before returning to normal, and she replied, "Alright, alright, it seems quite lively inside, is there a guest at home today? What good stuff is in this bucket? "

The woman first peeked her head into the courtyard through the open door behind Cheng Xi, causing Cheng Xi to move her body slightly, blocking her view. The woman peeked her head in Xu Sanlang's direction, wanting to see what was inside the barrel.

Xu Sanlang was straightforward, seeing that the woman had moved closer to the wooden barrel in his hand, he simply extended his hand and brought the wooden bucket over to the woman, and the woman could only see that the half barrel of black slippery thing was swimming back and forth. Before she could clearly see what it was, she retreated in fright, and with great difficulty, she stabilized herself before patting her chest and said in panic, "Aiyo, I'm so scared, what are you guys doing, it looks like a snake?"

Looking at the woman who was in a sorry state due to her curiosity towards gossip, Cheng Xi laughed, "Look at how scared Aunt is, it's only half a bucket of Loach. There's no meat in this house, so I'm planning on making some this thing as a toothpick."

Hearing that it was a loach, and that Cheng Xi was going to make some food, the woman pouted, disgusted. "Aiyo, how can I eat this? With that, she hurriedly left with a disdainful expression on her plump body.

After watching the woman leave, Cheng Xi said to Xu Sanlang who was at the side, "Let's go, this person has his head stuck out, who knows what he is thinking about."

Xu Sanlang followed behind Cheng Xi and replied, "She should be here to gather information for your original Eldest Aunt."

Cheng Xi tilted his head and raised it to look at Xu Sanlang, "How do you know?"

Xu Sanlang said, "She has a good relationship with your Eldest Aunt, in the past, I have often seen her fight with Lady Zhang, and we can also help each other out."

Cheng Xi laughed and said, "I can't believe it, you actually like gossiping too?"

Xu Sanlang said with a serious face, "I don't like it. I just have a good memory.

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang with a smile that was not a smile, "So you usually pretend to be stupid?"

Xu Sanlang immediately shook his head and denied, "No." However, his skin was already slightly whiter than before, and the slight blush on his face was clearly seen by Cheng Xi.

It was rare for Cheng Xi to see Xu Sanlang's embarrassed look, so she could not help but continue to speak in a naughty tone, "You still say that you don't have one, look at your face it's already red."

Xu Sanlang was also slightly embarrassed from Cheng Xi's teasing, the blush on her face became even redder, and she could only speed up her footsteps and change the topic, "These things are troublesome, let's hurry up."

Cheng Xi caught up quickly and hugged Xu Sanlang's arm that wasn't holding onto the barrel, then continued to speak, "Answer me honestly, were you pretending to be stupid in the past? Look, a person who doesn't even know how to lie.

"Really."

"No wonder. Yesterday, someone stopped me from asking all sorts of questions, but you still pretended to not know anyone else."

"I just find it troublesome. I might as well say that I don't know him. Don't tease me again."

"Hehe, I'm just laughing at you. Your face has turned pale and you can actually blush. Haha."

The two of them laughed and went to the back of the garden, leaving behind the small episode of meeting the woman.
