Chapter 69 Young and Promising
"Well, actually part of the responsibility lies with me. He said he wanted to earn some money to make a living, and I couldn't resist his pestering. In the end, I taught him some methods to identify medicinal herbs."
Xie Hechuan looked at Ruan Chuxia with an apologetic look on his face and said sincerely, "Xiao Ruan, I'm so grateful for your help and that of Village Chief Xiao this time. We've really caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I hope this matter won't cause you too much trouble."
Xie Hechuan said apologetically, "Don't worry. Next time I see him, I will definitely teach him a lesson. I won't let him do whatever he wants anymore."
"Don't think so. Everyone gets stressed out sometimes and does irrational things. Besides, he accidentally went into the mountains because he didn't know the way."
Ruan Chuxia waved her hands and said with a smile, as if to comfort the other person.
"Actually, Doctor Xie, there's one more thing I want to know this time. I want to ask where Cai Zhixu lives now. We need to know his exact location."
"I've already made an appointment with him to help me in my clinic, but I forgot to ask for his phone number last night."
Ruan Chuxia said softly, feeling a little annoyed at her own carelessness.
"That's great!"
A sincere smile appeared on Xie Hechuan's face.
"I was originally worried about his placement, Xiao Ruan, thank you so much for taking him in and providing him with food. This way he won't end up living on the streets anymore."
Then, Xie Hechuan quickly took out a note from his pocket.
He wrote down the address of the guesthouse where Cai Zhixu was temporarily staying.
"This is where Cai Zhixu lives now," he said, handing the note to Ruan Chuxia.
After saying goodbye, Xie Hechuan pushed the frame of his glasses, sighed, and looked in the direction where Xiao Zhiwei was leaving again.
He was silent for a moment and then shook his head, feeling a little emotional, but he didn't say anything.
After getting the address, Ruan Chuxia did not go to find Cai Zhixu immediately.
Instead, he went to the family compound to find Hu Li first.
"Sister-in-law Hu Li, it's me! Ruan Chuxia is here." She said loudly.
Afraid of disturbing the children in Hu Li's home.
She knocked on the door a few times, opened the bolt familiarly, and brought Hu Li a big bag of candy as if she knew the place well.
When Hu Li saw that it was Ruan Chuxia, she was very happy. She held Ruan Chuxia's hand tightly and said, "Little sister Ruan, I'm so sorry to have made you spend money. You are always so polite."
"You're welcome. I'm really grateful that you've been keeping an eye on the renovations."
Ruan Chuxia replied with a smile.
She knew that even when dealing with acquaintances, it was always necessary to give some benefits at the right time.
"Sister Hu Li, I heard the renovations are almost finished. I wanted to come and see the progress today."
Ruan Chuxia asked, hoping to see with her own eyes what her shop had become.
"Okay! Come on, I'll take you to see it!"
Hu Li readily agreed and took Ruan Chuxia with her.
The two took a tricycle directly to the shop.
I saw a group of workers in blue work clothes busy moving materials and carrying out decoration.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man who stood by and shouted and gave orders.
Seeing them coming, Hu Li waved her hand and shouted, "Brother Xiu Yu, come and see someone!"
Hearing the call, Hu Xiu Yu was stunned at first, seeming a little surprised.
He quickly stopped what he was doing.
Then he quickly cleaned the dust off his hands and put on a big smile.
"Sister, why are you here without informing me in advance?"
"I just stopped by to see what's going on, and to introduce you to someone."
Hu Li said with a smile.
"This is the owner of the shop. You can call her Little Ruan Sister."
She turned slightly to the side and motioned Ruan Chuxia to come forward.
After listening to the introduction, Hu Xiu Yu seemed very excited and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Oh, so you're the owner. You look quite young. You're really young and promising."
He couldn't help but admire it.
Then he said to Ruan Chuxia, "Little Sister Ruan, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you being willing to pay the extra money for my wife's treatment, we wouldn't know what to do."
He looked at Ruan Chuxia gratefully, his eyes full of sincerity.
"You're welcome. We are all family, and helping each other is what we should do."
Ruan Chuxia smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Brother, you've worked hard helping me with the renovations during this period. Take this pack of cigarettes and share it with everyone. I'll treat you at noon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Xiu Yu immediately took the cigarette box.
"Oh, it's the Dahongmen! Miss Ruan is so generous! Don't worry, we will make your shop beautiful for you!"
Hu Xiu Yu grinned, revealing his neat and white teeth.
At this moment, a hint of shyness appeared on his face.
He scratched his head shyly, looking very cute.
Seeing him like this, Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking secretly in her heart.
I seem to have seen this guy somewhere before. Why does he look so familiar?
Hu Li, who was standing by, saw her brother's expression and gently poked his waist with her finger. She smiled and said jokingly, "You should be happy to have such a good employer like Xiao Ruan. He's very generous."
"By the way, Mom mentioned that after you finish this project, you don't want to continue doing renovations, right? Are you planning to bring your wife over from your hometown and open a breakfast shop together in town?"
Hu Li asked this question out of curiosity.
There's actually nothing special about it, just a casual chat.
A slight blush appeared on Hu Xiu Yu's face.
There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, I do have such plans. My wife said that everyone in the village praises her cooking skills and the delicious food she makes. Now that the country has opened up its policies, everyone wants to start a business and no longer live on the few acres of thin land. She wants to come out and sell breakfast so that we can earn some money together, so that our lives can be better."
Listening to Hu Xiu Yu's words, Ruan Chuxia felt that they sounded more and more familiar.
She suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.
She paused, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes were full of shock!
Breakfast restaurant...
Hu Xiu Yu!
At this moment, memories of past lives came flooding back.
Ruan Chuxia's face immediately turned pale.
Her lips trembled involuntarily, and she asked tremblingly, "So what kind of breakfast are you going to sell?"
Hu Xiuyu didn't think much about it and replied with a thick local accent: "We are planning to sell buns now!"
"The buns my wife makes are incredibly delicious," Hu Xiuyu said proudly. "Whenever there's a wedding or banquet in the village, they always ask her to make them. Whether it's ten miles or eight villages away, everyone knows her cooking skills, and everyone loves them!"
When talking about his wife's craftsmanship, Hu Xiu Yu's face was filled with a happy smile.
Such a simple and unpretentious man was used to walking with his head down, and he looked even more timid after entering the city.
