Chapter 134 The Biggest Creditor
Chu Xuan wasn't angry at all. "I understand. It's my fault this time. I'll treat you to lunch to make amends, okay?"
I owe this guy too much and I don't have the guts to make him angry.
Mu Chenze had no idea what Chu Xuan was thinking, let alone that he was her biggest creditor. The corners of his mouth curled up, "That's better. I want to eat some hand-rolled noodles. Go make a phone call first!"
"Hand-rolled noodles are fine. But before you call, I have something else to tell you."
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Today I went fishing and caught two sea ducks. I also picked up some clams, fish, and other things. I sold them for thirty yuan. I'll give you some of the profits first..."
"That's all? That's a small amount of money? Don't worry. Let's talk about it when we get back to the village!"
"Okay! You go back first, I'll make a phone call."
"good."
Mu Chenze did not follow to avoid putting psychological pressure on Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan didn't know that Mu Chenze already had a plan in mind.
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Chu Xuan returned home and was busy making lunch.
Everyone finished their work early this morning, so they didn't have to work overtime at noon and went home.
Chu Xuan only needs to make lunch for her, her younger brother and Mu Chenze.
I plan to make hand-rolled noodles with tomatoes and eggs, and also stir-fried lotus root and cucumber, black fungus and meat.
After a while, Chu Feng returned home from school.
When I heard that Mu Chenze would come for lunch later, I was very happy.
Wash your hands and help in the kitchen.
At around twelve o'clock, a table was set up in the yard, the food was served, and the hand-rolled noodles were out of the pot.
Mu Chenze came in with half a roast chicken, handed it to Chu Feng, and asked him to put it on a plate and put it on the table.
Chu Xuan smiled helplessly, "Are you still asking me to treat you to a meal?"
Bring your own dishes when you come to eat.
Mu Chenze was in a good mood. "You treat me to a meal, and I treat Xiaofeng to roast chicken. By the way, you can take advantage of it. There is no contradiction at all."
Chu Feng especially loves roast chicken and thanked him happily.
When they sat down to eat, Chu Feng broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Mu Chenze's hand, "Brother Chenze, eat the chicken leg."
Mu Chenze put it in Chu Xuan's bowl and said, "I like chicken wings. Give the drumstick to your sister."
Chu Xuan put the chicken drumstick into Chu Feng's bowl with a smile on his face, "My little brother loves chicken drumsticks the most."
Chu Feng first looked at Mu Chenze, then at his sister. Why did it feel like they were a family, giving way to each other?
How great would it be if Brother Chen Ze could become his brother-in-law?
He didn't dare say that.
"Thank you, sister and brother Chen Ze."
Concentrating on eating chicken legs.
I plan to finish eating quickly and leave them some space alone.
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze started eating their hand-rolled noodles almost at the same time.
Chu Feng muttered in his heart, these two people really have a tacit understanding.
Just as they were about to finish eating, there was a knock on the door.
The courtyard door was open. Chu Xuan looked up and saw Liu Dapeng standing at the door.
Wearing a new long-sleeved white Dacron shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes.
I got a new hairstyle and look more handsome than before.
He was holding a cloth bag in his hand.
Liu Dapeng naturally saw the scene of Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan, brother and sister, having lunch together. They looked like a family, so harmonious and beautiful.
His heart ached a little, and he felt a little sour and bitter, but his face remained calm.
He quickly adjusted his mood and secretly persuaded himself that as long as Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan had not confirmed their relationship, he would still have a chance.
Chu Xuan stood up with a smile on his face, "Liu Dapeng, come in! Sit down and eat. There are still hand-rolled noodles in the pot. I'll go get them."
Seeing that Mu Chenze's face was not looking good, Chu Feng hurriedly said, "I'll go to Sheng, sister, you sit down and talk with Brother Chenze and Brother Dapeng!"
Although he was young, he could see that Brother Chen Ze didn't want his sister to personally serve hand-rolled noodles to Liu Dapeng.
It would be most appropriate for him to go to Sheng.
Liu Dapeng was originally embarrassed to eat here, but when he thought about making Mu Chenze feel uncomfortable, he immediately smiled and said, "Since I haven't had lunch yet, I'll be shameless. Chu Xuan, I brought you some specialties from East Province."
Hand over the cloth bag.
Chu Xuan took it and said, "Thank you!"
When I opened it and took a look, I saw some dried goods, including dried mushrooms, dried beans and the like.
Put it on the table.
Mu Chenze knew how to piss off Liu Dapeng. "Chu Xuan, my mother loves dried mushrooms and beans. Can you give me half? I can pay for it."
After Chu Xuan was reborn, he of course knew that Aunt Qin loved to eat it. If it wasn't in front of Liu Dapeng, it would be fine to let Mu Chenze take it all away. But now that Liu Dapeng was present, he had to ask.
"Liu Dapeng, I'd like to give Aunt Qin some useful information. Would you mind?"
Liu Dapeng chuckled, "I definitely don't mind giving it to Aunt Qin. But I've already sent it to Aunt Qin, the village chief's house, Aunt Hua's house, and Zhaodi's house."
Now Mu Chenze had no reason to ask Chu Xuan for any useful information.
"Then there's no need to ask Chu Xuan for it. Liu Dapeng, you're really thoughtful. It seems your trip was not in vain."
Liu Dapeng's face was not calm. "This business trip was really educational. I drank a glass of water that a stranger poured for me and fell asleep the whole way. When I arrived at my destination, I woke up and all my trouser pockets were ripped. I had no money left. You must be curious how I could afford to buy local specialties, right?"
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze nodded almost at the same time, expressing their desire to know.
Chu Feng filled a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, picked up the chopsticks, and placed them in Liu Dapeng's hands. "I'm curious too, Brother Dapeng, tell me!"
"Xiao Feng, thank you for helping me serve the noodles!" Liu Dapeng held the bowl of noodles with a look of relief on his face. "I earned this money while helping a boss sell clothes in Eastern Province. He gave me these Dacron shirts and pants. I also tried to sell him our grilled fish fillets, and he said he would come over to inspect them soon. If they were suitable, he would place a large order and sell them to Eastern Province."
Mu Chenze looked puzzled, "That boss from East Province asked you to help sell clothes for no reason?"
Liu Dapeng took a few bites of noodles and said, "Of course not. It's because I reminded him that someone stole his wallet. These hand-rolled noodles are delicious! Are they made by Chu Xuan herself?"
He had eaten the hand-rolled noodles made by Chu Xuan once when he was working overtime here, and he remembered the taste.
Chu Xuan hummed in response.
Mu Chenze deliberately provoked Liu Dapeng. "These are hand-rolled noodles that Chu Xuan made especially for me. She made me angry, so she made this to apologize. You're able to enjoy these hand-rolled noodles because of me."
Liu Dapeng smiled happily, "No matter whose help it is, I am very happy to be able to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by Chu Xuan."
He slurped the hand-rolled noodles, quickly finished a bowl, and burped.
Unable to provoke Liu Dapeng, Mu Chenze could only look at Chu Xuan and said, "I'm not full yet. Can you help me get another bowl?"
"No problem. There's more in the pot, so I'll definitely fill you up."
Chu Xuan got up and went to the kitchen.
I personally served him a bowl of hand-rolled noodles.
Mu Chenze took it and sighed, "Chu Xuan really understands me! I smelled it and added vinegar on purpose. I just love being jealous."
Eat with big mouthfuls.
Chu Xuan glared at Mu Chenze helplessly. He wasn't being jealous at all; he was just saying that on purpose. "What nonsense are you talking about? Just enjoy your noodles!"
Liu Dapeng saw this as flirting and couldn't stand it any longer. "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now!"
Without waiting for Chu Xuan and the others to respond, he left in a hurry.
After successfully provoking Liu Dapeng away, Mu Chenze felt better and ate three bowls in a row.
Chu Feng tactfully went back to his bedroom to rest.
They were the only two left in the yard. Chu Xuan whispered, "Mu Chenze, you're bored, aren't you? Why are you provoking Liu Dapeng? Don't say anything like you're jealous anymore."
Mu Chenze muttered, "That kid just needs some provocation, a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Chu Xuan held his forehead with his hand. "What toad, what swan? What the hell is going on! Could it be that in your eyes, I am a swan?"
