Chapter 605 Preparing to Return
Zhang Juexia once again reminded Ren Xiaoyao to keep an eye on this crazy old man, and then he went home with Ye Beixiu.
After working for half a day, Zhang Juexia was so tired when he got home that he lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.
Ye Beixiu lovingly massaged her calves, "Brother Ren has made arrangements, so I think we should get back to Shunhe County as soon as possible!"
Zhang Juexia also felt that it was time to go back, "Husband, let's pack up tomorrow and prepare to go home the day after tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon I will go to Madam Shen's house to say goodbye to her."
"I'm with you."
The two of them were thinking about what gifts to buy to take back, but before they could finish their conversation, Zhang Juexia fell asleep.
Ye Beixiu carefully covered her with the quilt and quietly walked out of the room.
He practiced boxing in the yard for a while and received a lot of praise from Granny Liu.
Ye Beixiu and Granny Liu talked about their return to Shunhe County. Granny Liu's eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Master, you and Madam should stay in Qingfeng City for a few more days."
Ye Beixiu told Granny Liu about his concerns, and Granny Liu kept nodding in agreement, "You are right, Madam, you should be careful at this time.
Master, to be honest, I really can't bear to leave you.
My wife and I originally planned to return to Shunhe County with you."
"Grandma Liu, my wife and I know you can't bear to leave your hometown."
Granny Liu took up her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes. "You and your wife are so kind that you made all the arrangements for me and my headmistress before we returned to Shunhe County."
"Don't say that, Granny Liu. My wife told me that the sesame paste you make is better than others."
"These are just words you and your wife use to comfort me. I'm old enough to understand everything. Master, please stop comforting me."
Ye Beixiu was not good at chatting with women. If Granny Liu had not taken good care of Zhang Juexia with meals during this period, he would probably not have said a word to Granny Liu.
Seeing that Ye Beixiu had no intention of continuing, Granny Liu found an excuse to go to the kitchen.
Ye Beixiu looked up and saw that he and his wife had lived very comfortably in this small courtyard for some time. However, after leaving, he didn't know when he would have time to come back.
He was thinking that when they came next time, there would be one more person.
As he was thinking, a man in the yard grinned.
There was a constant banging on the door. Granny Liu poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, does Ye Beixiu live here?"
Ye Beixiu felt the voice was very familiar and looked outside quickly, "Manager Li, why are you here?"
Li Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Beixiu, "The boss finally got you."
Ye Beixiu trotted to the gate, helped Li Xi bring the things in, and then welcomed him into the house.
Li Xi looked around as he walked, "Boss, your courtyard is quite unique."
"My wife chose it."
"I knew that Mr. Zhang's vision must be good."
Ye Beixiu let Li Xi take a seat, and Granny Liu quickly brought him tea. Li Xi only took a sip and said sheepishly, "Boss, I've been traveling for most of the day and haven't had lunch yet!"
"Hurry, Granny Liu, please help me prepare some food."
Granny Liu put down the tea and said, "Master, I'll go prepare it right away. The kitchen has everything ready. Let the shopkeeper have some tea first. The meal will be ready soon."
"Thank you."
After Li Ximeng drank two cups of tea, he realized that Zhang Juexia was not there. "Boss, where is Boss Zhang?"
"She's sleeping. Manager Li, do you have something urgent to talk to her about? If so, I'll go wake her up.
If this isn't too urgent, I think she'll wake up after you eat."
Li Xi knew that Zhang Juexia was pregnant, so he stopped Ye Beixiu and said, "Boss, it's not a very urgent matter. Let's talk about it after Boss Zhang wakes up!"
Actually, I came here with a businessman from the State of Chen. He said his name was Chu Jinnian. He found the shop in Jinshui Town, introduced his identity, and said that he was an old acquaintance of you and wanted to cooperate in business with you.
I figured you guys should be back in Shunhe County soon, so I thought of letting him wait in the town for a few days.
But he insisted on coming to Qingfeng City to find you, so I had no choice but to follow him."
Ye Beixiu picked up the teapot and filled Li Xi's cup with water. He asked with concern, "Shopkeeper Li, where is the Chu Jinnian you mentioned?"
“After we entered Qingfeng City, he found an inn to stay in, and I followed the address in Zhang Dongjia’s letter and came here.
Boss, I know the location of the inn where Boss Chu is staying, so I'm not afraid of not being able to find him."
"That'll do."
When Zhang Juexia woke up and saw Li Xi, he thought he had slept too long and his eyes were blurry. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he saw Li Xi again. He asked in surprise, "Shopkeeper Li, why are you here?"
When Li Xi heard Zhang Juexia's voice, he quickly stood up and the two of them greeted each other.
Li Xi then congratulated Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, "The boss has passed the imperial examination, it's truly a great joy!"
Ye Beixiu quickly waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Li, we are all family, no need to be so polite."
Zhang Juexia let Li Xi take a seat, "My husband is right, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite.
Shopkeeper Li, how is your family?"
Li Xi told the truth about the situation at home, "Since Xiucai Embroidery and Spinning closed down, several small embroidery workshops have opened in the town, but they are all small-scale and not a big deal."
"That'll do."
Zhang Juexia asked Li Xi again why he came to Qingfeng City, and Li Xi repeated what he had just said.
"Shopkeeper Li, if you hadn't told me otherwise, I would have forgotten about Chu Jinnian. By the way, did he tell you when we should go find him?"
"That's not what I said."
Zhang Juexia thought about it and discussed with Ye Beixiu, "Manager Li has come all the way here, I think we should let him have a good rest today, and then we can go find Chu Jinnian tomorrow."
"Okay, there's an inn near our home. I'll arrange for Manager Li to stay there."
"My husband, you just said that Manager Li is one of us, how can we let him stay in the inn?
I think you should arrange him to live in the backyard of the hot pot shop. I remember there are a few vacant rooms there.
Also, let's treat Shopkeeper Li to hot pot tonight."
After hearing Zhang Juexia's arrangement, Li Xi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "My two masters, I never thought that I would be the first person to taste hot pot.
Li Le told me about this the other day, and I'm going to show it off when I get back."
"Shopkeeper Li, you must try this hot pot today. When I return to Shunhe County and open another hot pot shop, I'll be waiting for your suggestions!"
