Chen Xing looked at that person a bit more familiarly, but still didn't remember who that person was.
Perhaps the curiosity and doubts 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, "What is the boss looking at?"
Chen Xing was shocked, and subconsciously withdrew his gaze, looked away with a guilty conscience, and whispered, "Nothing."
However, the man seemed to see through Chen Xing's inner thoughts, touched his short beard, showed a kind smile, and said softly: "Boss, don't panic, I just ask casually. If it is not convenient for you to say , Don’t say so.”
Hearing what he said, Chen Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, turned his head again, and asked him with the usual attitude towards the guests: "What do the guests want to eat? "
.The man looked at the things placed on the table, then looked at Chen Xing, who was smiling mildly in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I heard from my colleagues that your cold skin and cold noodles here are good. Give me a mixed one. One more mung bean soup."
"Hao Le." Chen Xing agreed, took his money, and asked Qiu Jiu who was next to him to call him something.
When Chen Xing handed the bowl to Qiu Jiu, something flashed through his mind among the sparks, ‘comrades? He remembered all of a sudden that this man was the same Master Xu he met when he went to see people in the cell that day!
Chen Xing suddenly raised his head to look 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 had a little more smile, and said with a bit of teasing: "Little boss, did you recognize Xu?"
.When he said this, Chen Xing felt more embarrassed. When he thought of Master Xu coming to his booth, he not only did not recognize him, but also let him stand here for so long, so he quickly found a place to sit down. , And then wanted to return the money he just received.
However, Master Xu stretched out his hand and blocked Chen Xing back with a thousand kilograms. Under his awkward gaze, he smiled gently, "Xu is here to eat, so there is a reason for not giving money. If it is down, This is the case this time, so why did Xu dare to come and eat? Only after you accept it, I dare to come!"
When Chen Xing listened to his words, he always felt that it was weird, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. He used to only need 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, and he was still in the stage of learning about humanity and sophistication.
.So, after Master Xu declined Chen Xing’s proposal, he still looked at him with a tangled expression, embarrassed: "But, I still want to treat you to a meal. After all, the compensation for the booth last time is also depended on. You, I just got it back. A meal is not worth a lot of money, anyhow it can give me peace of mind."
Master Xu looked at Chen Xing’s clear eyes, knowing that his words were from the heart, not for polite hypocrisy like others did, and the smile on his face immediately became brighter and brighter.
"These things are all ordered by the county grandfather, and we are only acting on orders. If the little boss wants to be thankful, he should be grateful to the county grandfather. Our current county grandfather is a good official who loves the people like a child!"
.What Master Xu didn’t say was that if it weren’t for the grandfather of the county who had spoken, Chen Xing shouldn’t say that he could get the money so soon, he wouldn’t even say whether he could have the money, after all, the errands these years pointed to this point. It's greasy.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.
While Chen Xing was stunned, Qiu Jiu had already brought up the two things that Master Xu wanted and placed them at his table.
Master Xu looked at the cold noodles with red oil and spicy sauce in front of him, and he saw the cold noodles with a strong appetite. As for the others, he glanced at Chen Xing who was tangled in front of him, and Qiu Jiu, who was stubborn and swift, had to leave it to the county grandfather to make his own judgment.
.Chen Xing was over entangled, a little wanted to say something, but also a little bit unable to say it, looking at Master Xu, who was hesitant to say something. However, Master Xu waved to him, and said in a polite tone: "Well, little boss, hurry up and do your job! I'll leave after I finish eating."
Chen Xing couldn't, but could only leave.
The moment Chen Xing turned around, Master Xu suddenly stopped him again. In his inexplicable gaze, he said faintly: "I heard that the little boss’s booth was a bit unbalanced the other day? This kind of thing, the little boss can go to the yamen for help, we all welcome it."
Chen Xing looked at him and nodded hesitantly. When he returned to the platform and started to get busy again, he felt that there was something wrong, but what was wrong there, he couldn't tell for a while.
.Chen Xing suddenly figured out what was wrong there until he sent away Master Xu and put his things back in the stall. He yelled in surprise, "Ah! I know there is something wrong!".
His sudden utterance shocked Qiu Jiu who was next to him. He was a little surprised when he looked at him, blinked his eyes twice, and asked suspiciously: "Chen Xing, what's the matter with you?"
Chen Xing's expression was extraordinarily serious at this time, and even his voice was a little serious, "Do you think the government here is too good?"
Qiu Jiu, who originally thought Chen Xing was going to say something, was relieved when he heard him say this. After breathing heavily, he said, "Hey, I thought it was something. It turned out to be just this thing, maybe it's here. Isn’t the official post more enthusiastic!"
.Chen Xing touched his chin with one hand, his eyes full of confusion, "However, I still feel that they pay too much attention to my little stall, and I always feel that it is weird! But I am a small flat-headed citizen, and there is nothing wrong with it. Something worthy of their attention!"
Qiu Jiu carefully looked at Chen Xing's face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It may be that you are more congenial to them, and the things you make are also in their tastes, so they will be so polite to you!"
Chen Xing thought this was the most reasonable reason, but still felt that something was not right there, but couldn't find what was wrong. He looked at Qiu Jiu and asked again: "Really?"
Facing Chen Xing’s skeptical gaze, Qiu Jiu nodded frantically, hoping that he would believe his words, “Yes, otherwise it’s because of..After all, we are poor, we don’t know people, and we don’t have much foundation yet, and what other people can do. It may be that the county grandfather is too kind, so he pays special attention to disadvantaged groups. "
Looking at him sincerely and earnestly, Chen Xing seemed to feel that what he said was reasonable. He probably thought too much, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Well, you are right."
Qiu Jiu quietly let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the doubts on Chen Xing's face.
When the two returned to Gu’s house and had dinner in the evening, Chen Xing couldn’t help telling Gu Lang what happened today. Finally, he added a sentence when he took the soup that Gu Lang gave him.
"I think the county grandfather is really a good person, and he is also a good official. In the future, the people's life here will definitely get better and better!"
.Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words and looked up and saw Chen Xing's serious look. He then responded softly, and the corners of his mouth formed a shallow arc. As long as Chen Xing is happy, there is nothing more to do. It's important.
After receiving Gu Lang’s response, Chen Xing told him what happened during the day. Most of them were trivial things, like children in that family clamoring to eat, but their stomachs were weak. His parents coaxed them to eat. This kind of trivial matter.
But Gu Lang listened very seriously, looking at Chen Xing's face that had become a little bit brighter because of happiness, and there was always a slight smile on his face.
Gu Lang hadn't experienced such ordinary fireworks for many years since he left home. Even if it was trivial, even if it was insignificant, he missed it very much. .Maybe he hadn't found what he missed before, but now that he has such a person, he has a little idea of home.
Chen Xing said excitedly, and Gu Lang next to him occasionally responded with a few words, and then he had the desire to continue. From time to time there was a soft ‘meow’ from his feet, and he would stop and put a piece of fish and hand it to the little guy who had already eaten by his feet.
Gu Lang watched Chen Xing lower his head to feed the cat with a gentle smile on his face. Suddenly, there was a feeling that it would be nice if he could live like this forever.
Chen Xing raised his head and met Gu Lang's gentleness as before, with a slightly different look. I don't know why, when he touched that line of sight, his face slowly turned red.
Even under the not-so-bright candlelight, Chen Xing's blush was still obvious, and Gu Lang asked softly, "What's wrong?"
.Chen Xing returned to his senses immediately, and shook his head quickly, refusing to expose himself to the slightest thought, "I'm fine."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's dodging gaze, fell silent for a while and didn't continue to question, but softly responded, "Well, but if there is something, you just tell me directly."
"I know."
Hearing Gu Lang's soft comfort, Chen Xing didn't know why he suddenly remembered that the day before, compared to the little secret that he had raised, the little secret that wanted to be with Gu Lang turned red for a moment. . He thought it was okay 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 deciding something.
That night, Chen Xing had a dream. He dreamed of being coerced and lured into the sedan chair by Mrs. Chen not long after he had just worn it here. .The only difference between this time and the last time is that he did not walk alone, but someone led him into the bridal chamber together. When he arrived in the room, all he saw was a custodian smiling at himself. Lang.
Gu Lang's face was a bit more red than usual because of the care of his suit, and he looked more handsome and unparalleled. He looked at Chen Xing with a smile, his thin lips lightly opened, and he said in a low voice: "Husband, let me serve you to rest!"
Then, Chen Xing was frightened awake. He stared at the top of the bed, which was somewhat contoured in the hazy night, with his round eyes. Then quietly retracted his body slowly into the thin quilt, blushing and trying to hide himself.
How can he have such a dream? Still such a shameful dream!
If it weren't for it's too late, Chen Xing would have wanted to run out and shout twice, but he couldn't. .As a result, 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 the cyan under Chen Xing's eyes and asked cautiously: "Chen Xing, what's the matter with you, are you okay?"
Chen Xing, who didn't sleep well, just glanced at him, shook his head, and then went to the kitchen ghostly.
Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing as if he was floating, shaking the goose bumps all over his body, and immediately followed. He had to look at Chen Xing a little bit to avoid any accident, then he really couldn't eat it. gone.
It wasn't until breakfast was over that Chen Xing regained a little energy, and then in Gu Lang's curious eyes, he left Gu Mansion with a guilty conscience.
.Gu Lang stood at the door thinking about the look in his eyes when Chen Xing left, smiled lightly, closed the door and returned to the house.
After Gu's door was calm again, the few people who were hiding not far away glanced at each other, and moved towards the remote back door
