Hearing Yun Xiao say this, everyone nodded repeatedly. As long as they could exchange, they would be happy to do so, even if it meant exchanging ten pounds for one pound, let alone three pounds for one pound.
After the villagers left, Han Yi glanced at Yun Xiao, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, Yun Xiao..."
Seeing Han Yiyi's reaction, Yun Xiao's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly.
"So, how do you plan to thank me...?"
When Han Yi saw Yun Xiao looking at her with those deep eyes again, she quickly looked away.
"Alright, stop joking. We still need to pretend to go to town, otherwise it will be hard to explain those rice..."
The courtyard of Han Yiyi has been cleaned up, but the hole in the guest room has not been repaired yet. However, everyone is currently making adobe bricks to build houses, so Han Yiyi doesn't want to bother them and plans to find someone to come and fix it after everyone has finished building their own houses.
Anyway, there are only Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi at home now, and there are enough rooms for them.
The two drove the mule cart out of Zhushan Village, found a secluded spot, and exchanged two hundred catties of rice from the system.
Han Yiyi had just put the rice down when she heard someone calling her from afar. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw two familiar figures.
“Sister Han, young master, I saw the two of you from afar just now and guessed that at this time, you might be the only ones with free time to leave the village. Hehe, it seems my guess was right…”
Upon hearing Manager Tong's words, Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with speechlessness.
Yun Xiao asked in an annoyed tone.
"Why are you here instead of keeping a close eye on the restaurant at a time like this...?"
Upon hearing Yun Xiao mention the restaurant, Manager Tong quickly put on a smiling face and said...
"It's like this, we just had a flood, and the restaurant isn't doing much business. Also, several of the chefs and waiters had their houses destroyed by the rain. Now that the rain has finally stopped, I've decided to give them a few days off to repair their houses before they come back to work."
Upon hearing Manager Tong's words, Yun Xiao nodded slightly and spoke.
"Well, everyone has their difficulties. When it's time to start work, we'll take some silver from the accounting office and give each person two taels of silver. It'll be a small help from the restaurant to them..."
"Thank you, young master..."
As soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, Wang Xiaojiang, who was behind Manager Tong, hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Upon seeing Wang Xiaojiang, Han Yiyi couldn't help but recall the matter of the village chief's wife asking her to help matchmake, but it had been delayed due to continuous rain. Seeing him now, she subconsciously asked him about it.
"Xiao Jiang, has your family arranged a marriage for you...?"
Just as Wang Xiaojiang finished thanking Yun Xiao, Han Yiyi suddenly asked about his marriage, looking at him with a serious expression.
Thinking about how she insisted on coming to Zhushan Village with her brother-in-law today, she was a little worried about that little girl. Her face flushed slightly and her head drooped a little.
Yun Xiao naturally knew why Han Yiyi asked that question, but at this moment, when he saw Han Yiyi looking at Wang Xiaojiang, Wang Xiaojiang actually looked "shy and timid," and he thought to himself, could it be that this little brat is trying to steal his girlfriend?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak up.
"I'm asking you a question, why are you looking down...?"
Manager Tong was puzzled. One second the young master was fine, and the next he suddenly "went crazy." Seeing the bewildered look on the faces of those around him, he quickly spoke up to help.
"No, not yet. His sister and I are thinking that after these few days, we'll find a matchmaker to come to our door..."
"No need for trouble. The village chief's family has taken a liking to him and wants to marry their daughter Yu to him. You can find an auspicious day and go directly to propose marriage..."
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Han Yiyi was a little confused, thinking to herself, "Can 'matchmaking' really be done so simply and crudely?"
Upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Wang Xiaojiang's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked a question.
"Really……".
In fact, Wang Xiaojiang had noticed Lan Hua, this carefree girl, long ago. And when Lan Hua went to town before, it wasn't just her who was secretly watching the people in the restaurant; Wang Xiaojiang in the restaurant was also secretly watching her.
Wang Xiaojiang felt that Lan Hua was, after all, the village chief's daughter, and her status was different. He, a waiter in a restaurant, was not good enough for her at all.
However, when Manager Tong came to Zhushan Village this time, he was worried about Yun Xiao and Han Yiyi. He used the excuse that he was worried about his brother-in-law coming alone and begged to come along. In fact, he was also worried about that carefree little girl.
At this moment, Yun Xiao saw the look of surprise on Wang Xiaojiang's face and realized that he had misunderstood. So he quickly took a breath and spoke.
"It's true, of course. Would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister Yi Yi..."
When Han Yi saw the look in Wang Xiaojiang's eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to herself, "So these two little ones have already developed feelings for each other." So she nodded and said...
"Yes, it's true. A few days ago, Lan Hua's mother came to me and asked me to ask if you were engaged. If not, she asked me to help you and Lan Hua get married. But it kept raining, so it was delayed. Now that you're interested, I'll have your brother-in-law accompany you to visit today. I have some rice here, so you can take ten catties with you as a gift when you visit..."
In the past, ten kilograms of rice would have been nothing to brag about, but now it's a precious item.
When Wang Xiaojiang heard Han Yiyi say this, he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
When Lan Cao, who was sweeping the yard, saw this, she froze. It was her sister-in-law who tugged at her and whispered something to her.
"Silly girl, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go back to your room to change your clothes..." Da Zhu's wife naturally knew what her sister-in-law was thinking. Seeing her cover her face and run back to her room, she couldn't help but laugh. She thought to herself, it's really rare to see this girl shy.
When the village chief and his wife saw the newcomers, they exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with joy. However, to avoid being looked down upon for their daughter, they quickly restrained themselves. Little did they know, Yun Xiao had already "sold them out."
Manager Tong had barely sat down when he began to speak.
"It's like this, Village Chief. We've come here today to ask if your daughter, Lan Hua, is engaged. If not, what do you think of my younger brother? He's in good health and will definitely be able to take good care of Lan Hua in the future..."
As he spoke, he directly made Wang Xiaojiang stand up and turn around in front of the village chief's family.
Wang Xiaojiang blushed at his brother-in-law's words, but in order to leave a good impression on the village chief's family, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a round.
