Chapter 92
Everyone in the yard, including Xiao Yue, was obviously stunned, and then put down the things in their hands, no...
Everyone in the yard, including Xiao Yue, was visibly stunned. Then they put down what they were holding and walked towards the back door at the same time.
Sun Wen was even faster. She jumped up from her seat and rushed to open the door in a few strides.
The person who came was indeed Su Xiaoxiao, followed by Cheng Min.
“Xiao Xiao!!”
Sun Wen was so excited that she rushed over to hug her before she even came in.
No one expected Su Xiaoxiao to come back suddenly, and everyone in the yard became excited.
Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan surrounded him and kept asking questions, such as whether he had eaten, why he came back so suddenly, how things went, etc.
Cheng Min was completely pushed aside and felt helpless. He had to stretch out his hand to protect Su Xiaoxiao to prevent her from getting too excited and bumping into something or falling.
Xiao Yue looked at the group of little sisters who seemed to be about to cry, and said with a smile: "Come in first, let Xiaoxiao talk slowly."
So Sun Wen let go of Su Xiaoxiao, and the two of them smiled at Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan, and walked in hand in hand.
Cheng Min followed and closed the door.
A group of people walked towards the round table in the backyard, but before they sat down, Su Xiaoxiao started talking.
"I'm sorry to have worried you all. I've already dealt with my family's affairs! My grandfather never thought that the Si family would secretly deal with Ying Shixiang. The government officials came to investigate several times, and my grandfather was like a mouse encountering a cat... Well, fortunately, the Su family didn't get involved in those things. He said that he would not care about me in the future, and I can do whatever I want."
Although Su Xiaoxiao's relationship with her grandfather could no longer return to what it was before, her relationship with her mother was better.
It turned out that Su's mother wanted to pack up her bags and chase after him that night, but unfortunately she was a step too slow and was stopped by Su's father.
When Su Xiaoxiao went back this time, her mother burst into tears. She said that life away from home was not easy, but she was also very happy to see her growing up.
After the affairs of the Su Mansion were almost settled, the mother and daughter went to the temple outside the city to burn incense. When they came back, they saw that the atmosphere of the Zhihuai Festival in the city had become particularly strong.
Su Xiaoxiao: "...Then I thought the store must be very busy. Missing me would be like missing eight legs. How could I let everyone work so hard? I'll be back soon!"
Xiao Yue couldn't help laughing at this, and was completely relieved. He said, "Yes, the store is missing eight legs, and we are almost too busy to handle it."
When it comes to busyness, of course it's about cooking. When it comes to cooking, Sun Wen's eyes light up.
Her taste is the same as Su Xiaoxiao's, she eats everything, but she prefers sweets. The recent golden pumpkin stuffed with locust flowers and taro paste is her favorite!
Sun Wen immediately pulled Su Xiaoxiao and said, "You must try the dessert I just made later. The taste..."
The two started chatting again, and Lu Ran rarely said a few words, not to mention Hua Jinjin and Hua Cancan.
The yard was suddenly bustling with activity.
Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong smiled at each other. When they had finished talking, the latter told Su Xiaoxiao about Xu Qingwu.
Xu Qingwu had just woken up from a nap and was carrying Xiaoju out. When she heard her own name, she looked up sleepily and was stunned.
"Sister Su!"
Xu Qingwu ran over with her short legs.
Su Xiaoxiao was deeply moved after hearing what Fang Sanhong said. Now when she saw her, her heart softened and she hugged her.
"Xiao Wu!"
"Sister Su, you're back!"
"I'm back. Did you miss me, Xiaowu?"
The huge backyard became even more lively, as if no one's voice could be missing.
As Xiao Yue watched, his gaze couldn't help but shift to Cheng Min standing beside him.
He had been looking at Su Xiaoxiao since he entered the yard, and had only said a few brief words just now.
Xiao Yue remembered that Su Xiaoxiao talked a lot but did not mention anything about Cheng Min.
But she guessed that there should be no more obstacles between the two of them, otherwise Su Xiaoxiao would not have said, "Do whatever you want in the future."
Xiao Yue was of course happy to see this happen. This pair of happy enemies finally became a sweet couple...
"Oh!" At this time, Su Xiaoxiao slapped her head and said, "I remembered that when I went to the temple to burn incense and pray for divination, I helped Yueting to get a very good fortune. The abbot said that it would be better to put a money tree in the store... How could I forget such an important thing! Cheng Min, where is the little money tree I asked you to keep?"
Everyone just saw Cheng Min being silent for a moment and touching his nose.
"I forgot it at home."
Su Xiaoxiao: “?”
Su Xiaoxiao: "Cheng Min!!"
Xiao Yue tilted his ear, and the next second he saw the two men running around the backyard, chasing each other.
Well, it's still so familiar. As for that little cash cow...
Xiao Yue vaguely remembered that for a second, Cheng Min's expression was a little subtle.
the next day.
When Xiao Yue saw the little money tree that Su Xiaoxiao took out, he suddenly understood why Cheng Min had that expression.
Because this little money tree... is flat, or in other words, it is not alive, three-dimensional, and does not need to be watered; instead, it is made of paper, with gold and red stripes, and needs to be pasted on the door.
The most important thing is that it looks like someone made it by hand, and the copper coins are painted a little crooked.
In response, Su Xiaoxiao, who had posted it on the first-floor door, smiled shyly.
"I'm short of money, so I can't afford a big one, and a small one wouldn't look good and might die. This is the one that lives the longest!"
Xiao Yue: “…”
Xiao Yue: "Are you really a genius?"
In a sense, the decal cash cow does have longer life.
Therefore, everyone who comes to Yueting Self-service today can see the dazzling and eye-catching golden red "money tree" at the door when entering and leaving the first floor.
…
After the shop closed, Xiao Yue asked Lu Ran and others to stay, and she took Fang Sanhong and Su Xiaoxiao to the North Street government office.
——Sign up to participate in the Zhihuai Festival.
Along the way, Su Xiaoxiao kept talking, asking what happened in the store after he left, as if she wanted to know everything.
Although she had pestered everyone with a lot of questions last night and learned that Yue Ting had been preparing and planning for the Zhihuai Festival in the past few days, she had already caught up quickly today.
But Su Xiaoxiao couldn't get enough of hearing other interesting stories and wanted to ask about everything.
Xiao Yue sat in the carriage and spoke lazily, feeling that the whole carriage was filled with the other person's active aura.
It was still very hot at this time, so Xiao Yue simply hung up the car curtains and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
But the more he looked at it, the more Xiao Yue felt that this road looked strangely familiar, as if he had been here before...
But there was no such thing. As far as she could remember, she had never come to this road alone.
Xiao Yue was a little confused, but when he heard Su Xiaoxiao's questioning voice, he quickly put it out of his mind.
Until they arrived at the destination, Su Xiaoxiao's attention was diverted, and she said to her: "Sister Xiao, you don't know, the government office is really huge! When the new city lord came, it was expanded. The front is the place for handling affairs, and the back is right next to the city lord's mansion..."
After listening to the popular science lecture, Xiao Yue couldn't help but sigh as he got off the carriage: "It's great to have money."
The two men waited for Fang Sanhong to park the carriage and walked towards the government office together.
In order to facilitate all major food stores in the city, registration for this year's Zhihuai Festival is said to be open right at the door.
At this moment, when I took a quick look, I saw that it was full of people.
However, Xiao Yue thought that there were definitely fewer people here than in the morning. In the morning, the whole street was probably full of people coming to register. It was less crowded if they came now.
Only one person was needed to sign up, so Xiao Yue asked the two of them to go to the side and wait for her, and then she went to line up.
The line was a bit long, and everyone was discussing how lively this year's Zhihuai Festival would be. After all, food was the most popular...
Xiao Yue agreed silently, thinking back to the various scenes he had seen along the way in the carriage. He guessed that by the day of Zhihuai Festival, not only Linxiping, but the entire Liuyun City would be in a state of disarray.
After about half an hour, it was finally her turn among the crowd.
The registration area was a bit simple, with just a table with a few booklets on it and a young man sitting behind the table taking notes.
It was obvious that he had been sitting there for most of the day, and his voice sounded a little numb.
"The next one..."
A shadow was cast on the table. The young man looked up and was about to ask, but he was stunned and looked surprised.
"Madam Xiao, you are finally here!"
Xiao Yue didn't quite understand why he was so excited. She just thought that the customer in the store knew her, so she nodded and said, "Yueting Self-service, Xiao Yue, I signed up to participate in the Zhihuai Festival. Do you have anything else to add?"
“It’s gone, it’s gone!”
The young man came to his senses and quickly made a note in the booklet. Then he rummaged through a box nearby and took out a medium-sized wooden sign.
"This is your competition location in Linxiping. You can go and take a look in advance. By the way, there are some rules on the back..."
The young man changed his listless look and spoke a lot in detail.
Even Xiao Yue noticed something was wrong, he took the wooden sign, looked at it, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, please help me, brother."
Then she left the team in front of everyone's gaze.
There were so many people here that Xiao Yue looked back only after he walked away.
As a result, she saw that the person recording the registration at the table had changed. When her eyes moved, she saw that the young man was called aside, and the person standing in front of him was Duan Lin.
The two seemed to be talking about something.
Xiao Yue understood. It was probably because Duan Lin had told his men something, or they knew that Duan Lin, the chief guard, often went to Yueting for self-help, which was why they were so nice.
Fortunately, it didn't affect anything.
At the gate of the government office, Duan Lin looked at the young man who was laughing nonsense and felt really disappointed with him.
What if we get discovered?
We know the young master's identity, but Madam Xiao doesn't know it!
No matter what, the young master has to expose it himself, so that the consequences will not spread to them... ahem.
"Okay, this won't happen again."
The other end.
Xiao Yue found Fang Sanhong and Su Xiaoxiao, and the three of them decided to go to Linxiping according to the plan.
Anyway, it’s on West Street and you can get there by passing by.
So Fang Sanhong frowned, ignored the two guardians sitting on his left and right, and continued driving the carriage.
Linxiping is the largest square in Liuyun City. It is usually only used for activities during the Spring Festival. However, it is now used as the venue for the Zhihuai Festival. You can imagine how big it is.
Xiao Yue saw Linxiping from a distance. It was actually on layers of stone steps. Although it was not high, it took time to climb up.
Fortunately, there was a slope nearby so the carriage could go up.
When walking over, Xiao Yue glanced at the stairs and found that each spacious floor had a sorting sign, which meant that stalls could be set up here, and this was considered an entrance.
Xiao Yue lowered his head and looked at the wooden sign in his hand. The serial number was twenty-two.
She turned it over, and what was actually discussed later was the opening and ending time of the Zhihuai Festival, the precautions for each food shop, and finally the ranking of the money earned during the period which would be checked by the government.
However, something new has been added recently - the top five contestants will cook a "signature dish" in Linxiping to celebrate the end of the Zhihuai Festival.
Xiao Yue wondered, isn't this the post-match performance segment?
And allowing city residents to watch, is equivalent to publicly displaying the boss's skills and attracting more customers to the store.
Xiao Yue didn't take it too seriously. For her, the Zhihuai Festival was just about setting up a stall and cooking delicious food. She could talk about the signature dishes later.
Just as I was thinking about it, the carriage stopped.
Xiao Yue looked up and was stunned for a moment.
Because from Linxiping you can actually see the shadow of the sunset in the sky, it is fiery red and gorgeous, like peeking at the wings of a fire phoenix.
Xiao Yue got off the carriage and walked towards the sunset unconsciously.
"Xiao Yue?"
Just then, a male voice was heard.
Xiao Yue turned her head and saw Fu Xunzhou walking towards her from the side, with his back slightly to the sunset. He seemed to be covered in golden light, so handsome that it was dazzling.
"What a coincidence." Fu Xunzhou approached, looked at her and said, "I've already registered. Why don't you come to Linxiping to take a look?"
Xiao Yue came back to his senses and thought to himself that he finally understood why this place was called "Lin Xi Ping."
She looked at Fu Xunzhou's face, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and replied, "Yes, the ranking is twenty-two, I came here early to take a look, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
"It's just a small matter." Fu Xunzhou cleverly changed the subject: "I just saw the ranking of twenty-two over there, shall I take you there?"
Xiao Yue: "Okay!"
Fang Sanhong: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Why don't you try another trick?
