Chapter 28: Encounter with 'Young Master' Again
The whole family walked to the place where they set up their stall yesterday, and it was almost noon. Chen Tian quickly unloaded the goods, Zhao set up the shed, arranged the tables and stools, and several children put out the food. Everything was done in an orderly manner within a short period of time, less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
Because of the hasty decision at that time, Jie Mei didn't notice the surroundings either. Today, after thoroughly relaxing and observing, I found that her father really had foresight, choosing a location below the mountain cliff. This way, even if the sun is scorching hot at noon, it won't shine on everyone.
The view ahead is open and clear, with everything visible at a glance. Next to it are several trees, their green branches hanging down, adding a touch of leisureliness to the scene. Of course, if you ignore the chatter of Little Overlord and his second brother's chirping voice.
The sun slowly rose, and the number of people on the road also increased. Seeing the passersby around him, whether it was an old man chopping firewood or a farmer carrying a hoe back home, Chen Tianfa would enthusiastically invite them to rest and drink some free green bean soup.
Look, Zhao didn't get angry at all because of Chen Tianfa's behavior, on the contrary, seeing the thin and bony old man would occasionally give him one or two baked cakes, making Xi Mei nod her head in approval, unexpectedly her parents were quite capable, getting a good reputation without spending money.
"Hey, you little devil, do you think everyone is like you, with a heart full of holes like a lotus root? The Chen couple's kindness comes from the bottom of their hearts, not pretending to be good. They are genuinely kind and willing to lend a helping hand. What's there to gain fame or reputation?"
It's already noon, the sun is high in the sky, and the cicadas are chirping non-stop on the branches. More and more people are gathering. Zhao Shi Chen Tianfa is busy working by the stove. Xi Mei is watching her parents sweating profusely.
The considerate girl ran to her mother's side with a fan and fanned the wind for her. Zhao was sweating profusely while pulling noodles by the pot, when she suddenly felt a weak cool breeze from below. She looked down and saw her little daughter struggling to hold a fan and fan the wind for her.
Because it was too small, she had to hold the fan with both hands. Although she was small, her movements were not slow, and because of the effort, fine sweat appeared on her forehead. Zhao's heart suddenly softened like a pile of cotton. She gently said to Xi Mei: "Girl, Mom is not hot, you go cool off yourself. It's too hot in front of this big pot."
Who knows that Xiao Yatou didn't move, "Mother, I don't believe it. Look at the sweat on your face, I'm not hot either. Don't bother me, I'm fanning for Father." The small hand turned and fanned Chen Tian who was burning fire a few times.
"Good girl, your father is tired, hurry up and go, I'll be heartbroken if you exhaust me." Chen Tianfa said lovingly.
Hey, you think your daughter's bright big eyes are what? Can't you see the sweat dripping from her face?
Ignoring the two of them, Xi Mei continued to persist in her actions, Chen Tian and Zhao Shi looked at Xi Mei not listening to their words and just let her be, but her hands moved even faster, as if her entire body was filled with power.
A few people were busy like spinning tops for a while, and finally the crowd gradually thinned out. Ji He, who was washing dishes, patted his own shoulders and sighed, "Why is it busier today than yesterday? However, hehe, the feeling of getting paid is really cool."
Xi Mei stared at her for a long time, and it turned out that the most money-obsessed person in their family was here. After Zhao sat down on the stool and took a few big sips of mung bean soup, she said, "Today was really exhausting, but it's just this one period."
Chen Tianfa chimed in, "But why don't I feel tired today? Is it because Xi Mei is fanning Dad?" The puzzled look on his face made everyone laugh uncontrollably.
Zhang Zishang also rushed forward to join in the fun, "I can do it too, I can do it too, Aunt Zhao and Uncle Chen, I'll fan you guys too." He snatched a fan and started fanning. Xi Mei rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "How annoying."
Just as they were enjoying the thrilling performance of Little Overlord, the sound of horseshoes echoed from the front. Chen Tian called out to Zhao's wife, "It seems we have another customer, let's get busy!" and stood up first.
But in the carriage, Prince Wang Han flipped through the account book that the shopkeeper had just handed over, looked at it for a few moments and felt really annoyed. He asked the coachman, "How much longer will it take to reach the city gate?" The coachman replied respectfully from outside the curtain, "In response to Young Master's words, we still have about half an hour before we arrive."
The young servant waited for a response, but not hearing one, the speed of the horse carriage quickened. "Young master, up ahead there's a stall with an awning, it seems to be selling food. You haven't eaten anything since early morning, why don't I go buy you something to eat?"
It wasn't until half a day later that the carriage finally came to a gentle stop with a soft "hmm". The young servant let out a loud "whoa" and stopped the carriage, then ran up front. "Boss, do you have anything ready for me? Make it quick." Xi Jiu smiled apologetically and asked, "We only have some braised meat and roasted flatbread, if you're not too picky..."
The servant interrupted before he could finish speaking, "Alright, that's all, let's hurry it up, my young master is in a rush to get on the road."
"Alright, alright, big man is still dawdling, isn't it just this little thing? I'll get it for you right away." Xiao Ba Wang said impatiently, but unexpectedly the young servant saw the person coming and exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master Zhang?"
Zhang Zishang turned around and looked at the newcomer, taking a long time to recognize him. "Aren't you the young servant from my cousin's house? What was your name again..." The servant quickly stepped forward to answer, "My name is Erzi, I'm specifically assigned by the Wang family to drive for Young Master."
"Then you said Tabo also came? Where is he? How come I didn't see him?" Zhang Zishang asked in puzzlement.
"Master is..." Before he could finish, a voice came from behind "I'm here". It was Prince Wang Yanhuan who was waiting in the carriage. He vaguely heard his younger cousin's voice and got off to take a look, sure enough, that kid was doing something there.
"Hey, what are you doing here? I was wondering why your aunt sent your clothes to my house. So it turns out you sneaked out and lied about staying at my place? Come on, let's go home now." And then he tried to pull him into the car.
Xi Mei saw him and quickly pulled her big brother, joking that if they lost someone at their house, no matter how much compensation they would pay, it wouldn't be enough.
The two people who were at a stalemate suddenly heard a crisp and loud shout: "Stop!" Wang Zihan turned his head to look, and a little girl about the height of his knee had her hands on her hips, staring fiercely at him. However, she was too young, and the fierce atmosphere made her seem even more adorable.
Big round eyes, tightly pursed small mouth, paired with a neatly combed fringe, making her look like a porcelain doll. However, Wang Zihan looks somehow familiar.
He was thinking about this issue when his sister also thought, how come this person looks so familiar? After a while, the two of them said in unison "It's you" "Is it you?"
Who did you say it was? It turned out to be the little 'guy' who stared at Xǐ Jú (喜菊) when several of Zhao's daughters went to sell hairpins earlier!
Kids, tomorrow's story will be even more exciting! Want to know who the newcomer is? What other interesting things will happen? Then give me a generous reward, beg for rewards ahahahaha.
