Xu Sanlang was pushed around by Cheng Xi, he then regained his senses and anxiously replied, "Is it okay like this, after all, this Ruyi Restaurant …"
Seeing Xu Sanlang stuttering, how could Cheng Xi not know what she was worried about? She replied, "Are you worried that we will let down our Ruyi Restaurant like this? If you think like that, then you're thinking too much. We're just setting up a small eatery, if this could steal Ruyi Restaurant's business, then this Ruyi Restaurant would have disappeared a long time ago. "
Xu Sanlang was still a little hesitant, "But it's not good for us to leave the Ruyi Restaurant like this. Master Zhao from the Ruyi Restaurant is so nice to us, how can we leave just like that?
Cheng Xi tilted her head to think for a bit, then answered, "Butler Xu and the masters are both workers for the restaurants, I think they should be able to understand us, no matter how good we are at the restaurants, the wages are already very limited, our wages are already considered very high, and will definitely not continue to rise, and as long as we have a better development, they will definitely not stop us, but maybe they will even support us! "Since we are lacking people, we can deal with it better. Let's find two reliable people from the village and bring them out. After that, we can leave the restaurant, and we won't disturb the business there."
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang could only agree as he nodded his head, and replied, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that Xu Sanlang had agreed, Cheng Xi happily patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to earn more money so that we won't have to worry about not having enough to raise children."
However, there was a problem that needed to be solved in front of them. Just as the two of them reached the fork in the road in the direction of Xu Family, Cheng Xi stopped and said with a frown: "It's almost the new year, what are you going to do about this cousin of yours? "You can't let my mother's house go. It wasn't easy for them to live a peaceful life, and if you were to let my little cousin go, it would really be too much trouble."
Xu Sanlang was also starting to get worried, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take it back to the Xu Family Courtyard to take a look, if it doesn't work, we'll bring our child to the old Ming Shui Village."
Cheng Xi was unwilling to go there, but after hearing Xu Sanlang say that he wanted to bring back the Xu Family courtyard, Cheng Xi's eyes lit up. She had almost forgotten, the reason she went back to the Xu Family courtyard with Xu Sanlang, wasn't it to add insult to trouble for the Xu Family Member, bringing this child to live at the Xu Family s, wasn't it a good opportunity to add insult to injury to the Xu Family. Furthermore, now that she was begging Xu Sanlang, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only silently eat the yellow lotus.
Thinking about how his Xu Family had been disturbed, Cheng Xi felt great about it. She said excitedly, "Let's go, we'll first go to the Cheng Family to pick up the child."
When the two arrived at the Cheng Family, it was already dark. From a distance, they could see that there was someone at the door, so Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang quickened their steps. When they got closer, they looked at the night sky, where the child, a hundred years old, was sitting.
At this time, a hundred years old also saw Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, and stood up with a face full of excitement. However, those round and big eyes were searching all over the place, and they did not see anyone they wanted to meet. The look of anticipation in her eyes gradually dimmed, and a glimmer appeared.
Looking at how it was, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi felt very pained, so Cheng Chen had a face of helplessness.
Cheng Xi went over and hugged the hundred years old girl who had her head lowered, and softly consoled her, "A hundred years old, good girl, I'm not sad at all. Grandmother went far away, and I'll be back when I grow up a little over a hundred years old."
The child obediently nestled into Cheng Xi's embrace and said with a nasal voice, "You, don't lie to me anymore. Whether or not Grandma is dead, I … I heard from the adults that Grandma might be dead."
The child seemed to be trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart, and only the sound of choking could be heard from time to time.
Such a mature and sensible child like him, early on, sshe had to face the pain of her loved ones leaving him, he had to suppress herself and try her best not to cry, how could it not make people's heart ache, Cheng Xi could not help but feel her eyes turn red, she lightly patted the child's back, but she did not know how to console the child, and could no longer lie and lie to the child anymore.
Xu Sanlang saw that the child was lying on Cheng Xi's shoulder, heaving up and down, and would occasionally let out a whimper, which also brought tears to Cheng Xi's eyes. Xu Sanlang took the child from Cheng Xi's arms and said hoarsely, "It's night, let's go."
Cheng Chen who was at the door said, "Where are you guys going? Come in and eat dinner. I've been waiting for you guys to eat dinner. "
Cheng Xi thought that they would always have to trouble Cheng Family, but she was a little embarrassed. Cheng Xi knew that when they returned at this time, they would definitely not have anything to eat, so she wasn't very hungry. However, Xu Sanlang and the child also wanted to eat.
After a few people entered the room, Cheng Dagui called out, "You're back? Hurry up and come eat. "
Lady Wu and Cheng Cai also got up and went to the kitchen to heat up the food in the wok.
When the two of them sat down at the table, Cheng Dagui saw the expressions on their faces and the spasming child's face. He knew that things were not going well, but he opened his mouth to ask, "Did you go to Ming Shui Village? "What's going on?"
Xu Sanlang's eyes reddened, and did not speak. Cheng Xi could only bring Xu Sanlang along to answer, "His grandmother, was gone, and his aunt had also left."
Cheng Dagui sighed and said to Xu Sanlang, "My condolences."
Cheng Chen also patted Xu Sanlang's back.
The Wu family who had just brought food in heard Cheng Xi's words, and frowned as they looked at the child in Xu Sanlang's arms, "Then what about this child?"
Xu Sanlang replied in a hoarse voice, "Follow us."
Lady Wu looked at the two with wide eyes. "Follow you?" You don't even have children yet, and with your current situation, what are you going to do with a child? His Fann Family has no one else? This child's surname is Fan, he should be raising his Fann Family, how can he follow you? If he doesn't, doesn't that mean he still has a mother? He can just send it to her mother. "
Cheng Dagui nodded, "That's true."
This child was indeed pitiful, and worthy of sympathy. But no matter what family he lived in, it was not easy for them to live, and no matter what, it was not Xu Sanlang's turn to raise this child., who had originally been living a miserable life with Xu Sanlang, would feel even worse in the future.
As for whether or not one is close or not, Cheng Family Member will obviously have to consider everything for Cheng Xi first.
Xu Sanlang's face was flushed red with embarrassment, but he did not know what to say to persuade Cheng Family Member. Seeing that Xu Sanlang was holding in his anger until it turned red, he could only open his mouth and say, "I like this child quite a bit, moreover he's so obedient and sensible, let him stay by my side, it's just a matter of more rations."
Lady Wu stared at Cheng Xi and said, "You little girl, do you think it is easy to raise a child? When this child starts eating, he will be able to eat rations for a few adults. Furthermore, with your current circumstances, it's already good enough for you to support yourselves.
Although Cheng Dagui did not speak anymore, but it was obvious that he agreed with what Lady Wu said.
Cheng Xi replied helplessly, "Xu Sanlang and I have already made our plans, don't worry anymore, let's quickly eat, after we finish eating, we still have to return to the Xu Family."
Seeing that Cheng Xi was so stubborn, Lady Wu and Cheng Dagui had no other choice, since Cheng Xi had already married Xu Sanlang, they could no longer be her master, and could only keep a straight face and invite everyone to dinner.
The atmosphere during dinner was heavy, Lady Wu and Cheng Dagui's faces had been gloomy the entire time, they did not speak, and the others did not dare to speak either.
After finishing the meal, Cheng Xi hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Xu Sanlang and the child. She heaved a sigh of relief after they went out.
If it was the past, they would definitely keep the two for the night. But tonight, both of them did not speak, and it was clear that they were angry at their decision.
Xu Sanlang hugged the child who was crying so hard that he fell asleep, and said guiltily to Cheng Xi who was beside him, "Sorry …"
Cheng Xi hurriedly waved her hand to interrupt Xu Sanlang, "I feel sorry to you, just treat me better in the future, after tormenting myself for a whole day, I'm really tired, let's quickly go back to sleep."
The two of them returned to the Xu Family courtyard in the dark of the night, and knocked on the door for a long time before anyone opened the door.
The one who opened the door was Lady Ma, when she saw the two people she quietly asked, "You're back, how was it? Is there something with your grandma? "
Cheng Xi sighed and replied, "He's gone."
Lady Ma was startled, for a moment she did not know what to say, so he greeted them and went into the house. Seeing the child in Xu Sanlang's embrace, she asked worriedly, "Then what about this child?"
Cheng Xi said, "Bring it along first."
When the Lady Ma heard that Cheng Xi wanted to take this child with him, she slightly frowned, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid that's not appropriate, the two of you definitely will not agree."
Cheng Xi pursed her lips, "There's no need for her to bring him, we can bring him ourselves. It's getting late, Eldest Aunt, you should also go and rest, we will go back and sleep."
The Lady Ma still wanted to speak up to advise the two of them, but seeing that Xu Sanlang had been silent all this time, Cheng Xi decided not to speak anymore. She nodded and replied, "Alright, I don't know when you guys will return, so I didn't cook for you, but I've heated up the furnace for you all, go back and soak in hot water before sleeping."
Cheng Xi thanked them, and then followed Xu Sanlang and the child back to the side room. The three of them washed up with the hot water on the stove, and after tormenting themselves for a whole day, they were tired. When Cheng Xi went to bed, she tiredly closed her eyes.
As for Xu Sanlang who was lying outside, he listened to Cheng Xi's steady breathing from inside the bed, as well as the sound of the child in the middle sleeping soundly.
By the time Cheng Xi woke up the next morning, it was already bright outside. Cheng Xi moved her body, and realized that there was a small ball of flesh in her embrace, and suddenly remembered to have a child. She carefully sat up, and looked at Xu Sanlang who was reading a book at the table, and asked softly, "What time is it?"
When Xu Sanlang raised his head, he was shocked and said in shock, "You couldn't have not slept for the whole night, right?"
