Chapter 207 Crowds and Lively
"Okay, stop messing around." Shang Wan patted him, "Have you really not thought of any other possibilities?"
Lu Chengjing shook his head halfway when he suddenly remembered something, "Master Chu mentioned that he had a good friend named Zhong."
The surname Zhong is not a common surname, and Shang Wan thinks that Zhongli might be the good friend of Master Chu.
She thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow I will invite Boss Zhong to dinner at Qionghua Restaurant. Are you going?"
Lu Chengjing: "Go!"
must go! !
……
……
After dinner and taking a bath, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, while listening to Chu Xu's vivid description of what happened yesterday.
Yuanyuan was the most enthusiastic and clapped her hands loudly.
Everyone looked at the little baby. If it wasn't for this guy who brought Xiao Hei back, none of the things that happened afterwards would have happened.
Shang Wan yawned. He didn’t sleep well last night and was busy all day today, so he was really sleepy.
"That's it."
Everyone had no objection. It was probably only the two children who had a good rest last night.
After tidying up the tables and chairs in the yard, everyone went back to their rooms.
Lu Chengjing was responsible for coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep, while Shang Wan went to light the light in Chu Xu's room and waited until the child fell asleep before returning to the room.
Shang Wan originally wanted to ask Lu Chengjing how the matter of hiring villagers to prepare herbal medicine was going, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the kang.
Lu Chengjing came out of the ear room and saw that Shang Wan had fallen asleep. He did not disturb her. He sat beside the kang and fanned her for a while. He waited until Shang Wan's forehead was dry before going to rest on the kang.
The next day, the sun came out early.
Shang Wan slept very comfortably last night. He raised his hand and stretched vigorously.
Lu Chengjing walked out of the ear room holding Yuanyuan, who had just woken up. Yuanyuan smiled and threw herself into Shang Wan's arms, and he kissed her hard on the face.
Shang Wan pinched her, tied two buns for the little one, and carried her to wash up.
The cool well water felt very refreshing when splashed on her face. Yuanyuan tried to bury her entire face in the basin. Shang Wan was so scared that he quickly picked up the baby. Choking on water is no joke.
Yuanyuan pouted unhappily and flapped her arms and legs, trying again.
Shang Wan: “…”
Why do you want to try everything?
She patted the baby's butt and carried him to the kitchen to drink water.
Xiaohuan was busy in the kitchen. When she saw two people come in, she stuffed a steamed dumpling into each of them to taste.
"I added a small spoonful of vinegar when I was mixing the stuffing. How does it taste?"
"Not bad." Shang Wan felt that it tasted good with or without vinegar.
Yuanyuan simply opened her little mouth towards Xiaohuan, meaning that she wanted another one.
Xiaohuan smiled and fed her another one.
Shang Wan took the milk bottle out of the space, and Yuanyuan took it over spontaneously and drank the morning milk.
In the yard, Chu Xu was practicing boxing.
Except for the days when he was recuperating from his injury, Chu Xu would get up early almost every day to do morning exercises, and he could perform a set of boxing very well.
The child was sweating and his face was red.
Next to him, Lu Chengjing was practicing the Five Animal Exercises to strengthen his body.
Shitou was sitting on the swing, holding a medical book and reciting it, shaking his head all the time. Shang Wan was worried that he might pass out.
As Xiaohuan shouted, "Dinner is ready!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, some took a shower, some changed clothes, and then went to the table after they had tidied themselves up.
It was a lively breakfast, and Xiaohuan managed it very well, so there was almost nothing left in the end.
At the breakfast table, Shang Wan asked about things in the village.
Lu Chengjing said: "Uncle Wu and the others think it is feasible, and Brother Yuan has also agreed to help, but the specific terms and conditions still need to be considered. It should be possible to reach an agreement in the next few days."
Shang Wan nodded, as long as things went smoothly.
After dinner, Shang Wan took the two children and drove a ox cart into the city.
It was a little late today, and when Shang Wan arrived, Wu Kai and the other two had already finished their breakfast and were sitting at the door waiting for her.
The small stool was kindly provided by the restaurant owner.
Seeing Shang Wan coming, the proprietress came out to greet her and handed her the prepared dog food.
Shang Wan thanked him and took it, then unlocked the door and led Wu Kai and the other two inside.
Xiao Hei rushed out enthusiastically and barked a few times, scaring Wu Kai and the other two.
It’s not their fault for being timid. The dog is really fierce-looking and big, and you can tell at first glance that it is not a vegetarian.
Shang Wan bent down and touched Xiao Hei's head, then handed the dog food to Chu Xu and Yuan Yuan, and said, "Go to the backyard and feed Xiao Hei."
The two children happily agreed and took Xiao Hei to the backyard.
A small part of the original decoration in the shop has been dismantled, and today's task is to continue dismantling it.
Shang Wan stared for a while, but couldn't stand the noise anymore, so he walked to the backyard to get some peace and quiet.
Another day of banging and hammering.
The next day, Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing brought their two children to Qionghua Restaurant on time.
The person leading the way was the fellow who witnessed Shang Wan and Zhongli's conspiracy last time.
After entering the box, the four of them sat down, and Zhongli came up as if he knew the place well.
There was a young man in purple clothes following him, and it was Chu Wujiu.
Seeing that there were women in the box, Chu Wujiu turned around and left in embarrassment without even having time to say hello to Lu Chengjing.
Shang Wan: “…”
Is she something dirty?
"Why are you leaving?" Zhongli grabbed Chu Wujiu and dragged him into the box.
Chu Wujiu couldn't break free and turned his head to glare at Zhongli.
Zhongli smiled, "It's more fun when there are more people."
Chu Wujiu: "..."
He whispered, "How can we, as outsiders, eat at the same table with the women? This is against etiquette."
Zhongli curled his lips, "Now that you're out, can't you put aside your family's old-fashioned rules?"
"Let me go!" Seeing that he couldn't convince Zhongli, Chu Wujiu started struggling angrily again.
The two of them were pulling each other, and Shang Wan gave Lu Chengjing a look. What was going on?
Lu Chengjing leaned over and explained in a low voice, "Brother Chu's family seems to have very strict rules."
Shang Wan: “…”
Should she set up a separate table for Mr. Chu?
Zhongli wanted to see Chu Wujiu's fun, so he naturally wouldn't let Chu Wujiu leave.
Chu Wujiu had no choice but to apologize to Shang Wan before sitting down awkwardly, staring straight ahead without even glancing at Shang Wan.
Seeing him like this, Zhongli laughed so hard that his hands holding the folding fan were shaking.
Chu Wujiu continued to glare at him, and Zhongli stopped smiling when he saw that Chu Wujiu was about to get angry.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from laughing at the corners of his eyes and formally introduced himself to Shang Wan and the other person.
The two sides greeted each other. Seeing that Chu Wujiu was still uncomfortable, Lu Chengjing started a conversation and talked to him about calligraphy and painting.
Shang Wan asked the waiter waiting on the side to serve the dishes.
Zhongli noticed the two children staring at him. He poured out a handful of gold beans from his purse and handed them to the two children as a gift.
Neither of the two children reached out, but tilted their heads to look at Shang Wan.
Shang Wan said: "Hurry up and thank your uncle."
Don’t refuse a gift when meeting someone.
The two children thanked him and divided the golden beans equally.
Zhongli looked at Chu Xu a few more times. He felt that the child looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Chu Xu had already recognized him. He pulled Shang Wan's sleeve and leaned over to whisper in Shang Wan's ear.
After listening to this, Shang Wan exclaimed in his heart, this Boss Zhong must be someone with a lot of background.
Zhongli was so smart. He pointed at Chu Xu with his folding fan and said, "Kid, do you know me?"
Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.
