Chapter 41： Master Xu

Chen Xing glanced at the man with a familiar face, but still did not remember who the man was.

Perhaps the curiosity and doubt in Chen Xing's eyes were too obvious. The man who was observing what other people bought suddenly raised his head and looked in Chen Xing's direction, smiling: "The boss is What are you looking at?"

Chen Xing was startled, subconsciously withdrew his gaze, looked away with a guilty conscience, and whispered: "It's nothing."

As soon as you ask, if it is inconvenient for you to say it, don’t say it.”

Hearing his words, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, turned his head again, and asked him with his usual attitude towards guests: " What do the guests want to eat?"

The man looked at the things on the table, then looked at Chen Xing, who smiled gently in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I heard from my colleagues that your Liangpi and noodles are good here. Bring me a mix, and a green bean soup."

"Good." Chen Xing agreed, took his money, and asked Qiu Jiu next to him to type something for him.

When Chen Xing handed the bowl to Qiu Jiu, something flashed in his mind, 'Colleague? ', he immediately remembered that this person was the Master Xu he met when he went to see people in the cell that day!

Chen Xing suddenly looked up at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, and said with a look of surprise: "Are you Master Xu?"

Seeing Chen Xing's surprised look, Master Xu's original serious face got a little more smile, and said with a bit of ridicule: "The little boss recognizes Xu. already?"

When he said this, Chen Xing felt more and more embarrassed, thinking that Master Xu came to his booth, not only did he not recognize him, but also made him stand here for so long, so he quickly I found a seat for him to sit down, and then I wanted to return the money I just received.

Master Xu stretched out his hand and blocked Chen Xing back, under his embarrassed eyes, he smiled gently, "Xu is here to eat, so there are The reason for not giving money. If it’s like this next time, how can Xu dare to come and eat. If you accept it, I will dare to come!”

Chen Xing always thought it was weird when he heard his words, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. In the past, he only had to be responsible for cooking, and other things were handled by special personnel. After he came here, he had to collect money and cook again. He was still in the stage of learning about the world.

So, after Master Xu declined Chen Xing's proposal, he still looked at him with a tangled face, wondering, "However, I still want to treat you to a meal, after all last time I got the compensation from the booth because of you guys. A meal isn't worth much, so I can feel more at ease."

Master Xu looked at Chen Xing's clear eyes and knew that his words were all from the heart, not being polite and hypocritical like others, and the smile on his face became brighter immediately,

"These things are all ordered by the county magistrate, and we are just acting on orders. If the little boss wants to thank the county magistrate, we should thank the county magistrate. Our current county magistrate is a lover of the people. Such a good official!"

What Master Xu didn't say is that if the county magistrate hadn't opened his mouth, Chen Xing wouldn't say that he would get the money so soon, he wouldn't say whether he could have the money, after all Years of the poor point to this point of oil and water.

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but did not expect that a little commoner like him would actually attract the attention of the county magistrate.

Just as Chen Xing was stunned, Qiu Jiu had already brought up the two things Master Xu wanted and placed them in front of his table.

Master Xu looked at the cold noodles with red oil and chili sauce in front of him, and he looked at the cold noodles. He thought that this trip was not in vain. As for the rest, he glanced at Chen Xing, who was tangled in front of him, and Qiu Jiu, who was busy and quick in his hands and feet, so he could only leave it to the county magistrate to make his own judgment.

Chen Xing was finished, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and looked at Master Xu with a look of hesitating to say something. But Master Xu also waved at him and said politely: "Okay, little boss, hurry up and do your work! I'll leave after I finish eating."

Chen Xing couldn't but leave.

At the moment when Chen Xing turned around, Master Xu suddenly stopped him again, and in his inexplicable eyes, he said lightly: "I heard that there was something wrong with the little boss's booth a few days ago. Taiping? If this kind of thing happens next time, the little boss can go to the yamen for help, and we all welcome it."

Chen Xing looked at him and nodded hesitantly. When he got back to the platform and started busy, he felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.

"

Chen Xing's expression was very serious at this time, and even his voice was a little serious, "Do you think that the government here is too good?"

Qiu Jiu, who originally thought that Chen Xing was going to say something, was relieved when he heard this, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Hey, I thought it was something. It turned out to be just This matter, maybe the officials here are more enthusiastic!"

Chen Xing touched his chin with one hand, his eyes full of confusion, "However, I still think they pay too much attention to my small stall, I always think it's weird! But I am a small Little flat-headed people, there is nothing worthy of their concern!"

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's face carefully, hesitated and said, "It may be that you are more compatible with them, and what you make is also in their taste, so they I'll be so polite to you!"

Chen Xing felt that this was the most reasonable reason, but he still felt that something was not right there, but he couldn't find it. He looked at Qiu Jiu and asked again: " Really?"

Facing Chen Xing's suspicious gaze, Qiu Jiu nodded frantically, hoping that he would believe his words, "Yes, otherwise it could be because of something. After all, we are poor and we don't know each other. People don't have much foundation yet, so what else can others gain. Maybe the county magistrate is too kind, so he pays special attention to vulnerable groups."

Chen Xing looked at him with sincerity and seriousness, and seemed to think that what he said made sense. He probably thought too much, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Well, you're right."

Qiu Jiu looked at the doubts on Chen Xing's face and let out a sigh of relief.

when he added,

"I think the county magistrate is really a good person, and he is also a good official. The life of the people here will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words, looked up and saw Chen Xing's serious face, he responded softly, the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc, as long as Chen Xing was happy Well, the extra stuff doesn't matter anymore.

Received a response from Gu Lang, Chen Xing told him about what happened during the day, most of which were trivial things, like the children in that house clamoring to eat, but their stomachs were fragile, His parents were coaxing the food that he couldn't eat, such trivial things.

But Gu Lang listened very seriously, and looked at Chen Xing's face, which had become brighter because of his happiness, and always had a light smile on his face.

Since he left home, Gu Lang has not experienced such ordinary fireworks for many years. Even if it is trivial, even if it is trivial, he misses it very much. Maybe he didn't find what he missed before, and it was only now that he had such a person that he had some idea of ​​home.

Chen Xing said excitedly, and Gu Lang who was next to him occasionally responded with a few words, and then he had the desire to continue. Occasionally, there was a soft 'meow' at his feet, and he would stop and take a piece of fish and hand it to the little guy at his feet who had already finished eating.

Gu Lang watched Chen Xing lowered his head to feed the cat, with a gentle smile on his face, and suddenly felt that it would be nice if he could live like this forever.

Chen Xing raised his head and met Gu Lang as gentle as before, with a slightly different look. I don't know why, but his face started to turn red slowly when he met that line of sight.

Even under the dim candlelight, Chen Xing's blushing was still obvious, Gu Lang asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing immediately came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and refused to reveal his own thoughts, "I'm fine."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's dodging eyes, was silent for a while and did not continue to ask, and replied softly, "Well, but if there is anything, you can tell me directly. "

"I know."

Hearing Gu Lang's soft consolation, Chen Xing suddenly remembered the little thought that arose not long ago, the little boy who wanted to be with Gu Lang. Secretly, his face turned even redder in an instant. He thought it was fortunate that Gu Lang didn't know, otherwise he would definitely laugh at him.

Gu Lang stared at Chen Xing's constantly changing face, as if he was confirming something, his eyes flickered, and finally turned dark.

That night, Chen Xing had a dream that not long after he wore it here, he was coerced by Mrs. Chen into a sedan chair. It's just that this time is different from the last time, he didn't go through the scene alone, but someone led him into the bridal chamber together. When he got to the room, all he saw was Gu in a happy dress smiling at him. Lang.

Gu Lang's face was a little more red than usual because of the care of Xifu, and he looked more and more handsome. He looked at Chen Xing with a smile, his thin lips parted lightly, and he whispered, "Husband, let me serve you and rest!"

Then, Chen Xing was woken up by the fright, he stared at the top of the bed with some outlines in the hazy night. Then he quietly shrank his body back into the thin quilt, blushing and trying to hide himself.

How could he have such a dream? Still such a shameful dream!

If it wasn't too late now, Chen Xing would have wanted to run out and shout twice, but he couldn't. So, he could only twist himself into a ball under the quilt, and wondered why he had such a dream all night!

When he woke up the next day, Qiu Jiu was taken aback by his appearance.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's blue eyes and asked cautiously, "Chen Xing, what's wrong with you, are you alright?"

Chen Xing, who didn't sleep well, just glanced at him, shook his head, and went to the kitchen like a ghost.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's footsteps as if she was drifting, shook her goosebumps, and followed immediately, he had to look at Chen Xing a little to avoid any accident, then He really couldn't eat and walked away.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Chen Xing recovered a little, and then left Gu Mansion with a guilty conscience in Gu Lang's curious eyes.

Gu Lang stood at the door and recalled the look in his eyes when Chen Xing left, smiled softly, closed the door and went back to the house.
