Chapter 244: Visitors from Yan County
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Yunyi and said, "What's going on? Didn't Miss Shen come back?"
Gu Yunyi nodded, “Miss Shen and Mr. Shen have severed their relationship.”
"ah?"
Xu Qingmeng was also stunned and looked at Gu Yunyi in shock. She had never expected this.
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation."
"Sure, why not? This way, we will have a lively New Year this year. Then, you can ask Huang Boyang when he will be leaving. I think Zhou Yuanjia will also be leaving. You two can go together so that you can have someone to keep you company. I'm worried about you going back alone."
He was afraid that he would ignore it and worry about Mr. Shen, so she rushed back to Yan County in the afternoon.
Gu Yunyi nodded, then looked at Xu Qingmeng.
Xu Qingmeng smiled and looked at him: "Tell me, what does Mr. Shen like to eat? Is there anything he shouldn't eat? When you come back, Xinting and I will prepare a table of delicious food to welcome you."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Gu Yunyi held her hand tightly, then whispered in her ear, "Madam, Miss Shen is getting married."
Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him, "What does this have to do with me?"
After a while, the noodles were ready and were brought over by Xinting. Zhou Yuanjia took it immediately when he saw it. In addition to a large bowl of noodles, there was also a plate of fried eggs with chili peppers.
Liu Zhigang was originally huddled in his cotton-padded jacket, looking timid, but the moment he saw Xinting, he immediately sat up straight.
Seeing him like that and the look in his eyes that didn't dare to look at Xinting, there was nothing Zhou Yuanjia couldn't understand. He was extremely grateful to his mother for settling Xinting on him, otherwise, with his procrastinating temper, it would never have been his turn!
Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi also noticed Liu Zhigang's abnormality, but they just looked at each other and said nothing.
"Eat quickly! That's my wife." Zhou Yuanjia handed it to Liu Zhigang and said.
"Hehe, who is your wife? Don't talk nonsense." Xinting said embarrassedly.
"Of course not, we are engaged, Xinting, I want to marry you home as soon as possible."
Liu Zhigang listened to Zhou Yuan's words, lowered his head silently, and started eating noodles. He didn't dare to look at Xinting again. Although he felt a little disappointed, he also understood that he no longer had any qualifications.
Xinting felt embarrassed by what Zhou Yuanjia said, and said, "Junior brother, take your time to eat. When you are warm, go and have a rest. The room has been tidied up for you. Aunt, I will go to the workshop to take a look."
Zhou Yuanjia followed Xinting when she turned to go out, "Wait for me, I'll go with you, let's discuss it."
After Liu Zhigang finished his meal, he followed the servants to rest. When he woke up, it was already dark.
But it was winter, and because it was snowing, it got dark early. However, the Gu family's yard was very lively at this time.
Several children from the Li family also came over, including Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, and Xiao Yuanbao. The group of children were making snowmen and having snowball fights in the garden!
In the evening, Xu Qingmeng cooked a large table of dishes, and Xinting helped.
Gu Yunyi, Zhou Yuanjia, went home and called Fang Ziheng and Huang Boyang, and of course, Liu Zhigang, it was quite lively.
Huang Boyang brought some wine this time. It happened that snowing started outside, so he asked his servants to warm up a pot of wine. Everyone drank some. After the meal, no one wanted to move and just sat in their chairs, chatting.
Later, Huang Boyang was quite happy to learn that Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia were going back to Yan County with him. Among the few people, Huang Boyang traveled between Yan County and the provincial capital more frequently. He told everyone about the various changes that had taken place in Yan County in the past few months.
Jinxiuxuan's business is getting better and better. It is also mentioned that the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Xu family no longer live in the Gu family's house. Mrs. Huang helped them rent a yard similar to the Gu family's, with the front used as a shop and the back as a living space. With the second sister-in-law of the Xu family around, the business is getting better and better.
The Xu family also moved to Yan County, and they said that the two sisters-in-law who looked after the shop for them were very honest people, and that the reputation of the Gu family restaurant was also established.
Xu Qingmeng and He were very happy to hear this, and Xu Qingmeng finally felt relieved.
After seeing Fang Ziheng and Huang Boyang off, Xu Qingmeng took Xinting and Liu Zhigang to the kitchen. Shamelessly, Zhou Yuanjia also followed them to the kitchen, saying that he wanted to learn how to cook for Xinting in the future.
How could Xu Qingmeng not know why, but she didn't say anything.
Liu Zhigang had already had a good sleep in the afternoon and was very energetic now. He came here just to learn how to make dim sum from Xu Qingmeng.
Xu Qing was dreaming that the Chinese New Year was approaching, so he wrote down five dim sum recipes and asked him to take them back to study them. After he had practiced them for a while, he would choose the two best ones and take them to Jinxiuxuan.
Liu Zhigang hurriedly thanked him, and then talked to Xu Qingmeng about some new ideas he had developed during this period. Xinting also talked about her own ideas from time to time, and the discussion was very lively for a while.
Zhou Yuanjia was watching from the side, and he was also very happy in his heart. Although he didn't understand, he liked Xinting like this, this radiant girl.
Gu Yunyi watched for a while and wanted to pull Zhou Yuanjia to go together, but he didn't move at all. So he gave up and went back to the house to look after the two little guys.
When the teaching in the kitchen was almost finished, Xu Qingmeng returned to the house and saw Gu Yunyi looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xu Qingmeng frowned. "Why, what do you want to say? Why are you hesitating so much?"
"Are you really not going to ask me?" Gu Yunyi suddenly spoke, his voice a little lower than usual.
Xu Qingmeng paused with her fingertips on the silver mink fur at the collar of the fox fur coat, lowered her eyes and smiled, "Mr. Shen is like your father to you, why not invite him over to celebrate the New Year, but..." She deliberately dragged out her tone and threw the folded undershirt into the box, "I don't know if this Miss Shen..."
The candlelight suddenly trembled, and Gu Yunyi quickly stepped forward to hold her slightly cold hand, but saw a sly smile in his wife's eyes.
His ears turned red, and he held her in his arms and sighed, "Madam, Miss Shen is just the master's daughter. I treat her as my sister, really?"
Xu Qingmeng chuckled, "What did I say? Aren't you taking it a bit too far..."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm afraid that you'll be jealous, so I'm eager to explain." Gu Yunyi looked at her gently.
The candle flame flickered, and the charcoal basin in the room was warm, but not as warm as the other person's body.
Gu Yunyi stroked her forehead with his chin and suddenly said, "Madam, you haven't been there yet. I'll take you there in a few days. There are quite a few small stalls next to the government school that are all pretty good."
