Chapter 311 Taking People to the Restaurant
There was no need to rush to Hefeng Town, so Wan Qiqi got up relatively late.
As she sat down to eat breakfast, the sound of a mule cart could be heard coming from the yard.
"Brother Gousheng, so early?"
Chen Yongliang looked at Wu Gousheng with a look of surprise on his face.
Wu Gousheng scratched his head and said, "It's not early, everyone's already up and busy!"
He walked over to Chen Yongliang, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and whispered, "Yongliang, here!"
Chen Yongliang glanced at the money Wu Gousheng handed him, then frowned. "What are you doing?"
As he spoke, he slapped Wu Gousheng's hand away, revealing a cautious expression.
"Shh! Shh!" Wu Gousheng glanced at the main room, quickly pulled Chen Yongliang a few steps outside, and whispered, "These are for Pingping and An'an. My sister doesn't want to accept them, so you can keep them for her!"
"Give it to Pingping and An'an?" Chen Yongliang found it increasingly strange. Why would this person give money out of the blue?
bribe?
Wu Gousheng chuckled twice, looking a little embarrassed. "I've called Sister Qi so many times, I consider her my own sister! I didn't bring much for the New Year, and I even took so much meat back with me, so I just wanted to give the two kids some lucky money and buy them candy!"
He said with a hint of helplessness, "Sister Qi didn't accept it, but she gave me money instead. I felt really bad, so I was hoping you could secretly accept it for the two kids!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongliang became even more unwilling to accept the money and stuffed it back to Wu Gousheng, saying, "Then you've come to the wrong person! My sister-in-law said she wouldn't accept it, and I certainly can't accept it either!"
"No... Yongliang, you're keeping it for Pingping and An'an..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wan Qiqi's voice came from behind him.
"What are you two whispering about so suspiciously?"
Chen Yongliang turned around, about to speak.
Wu Gousheng immediately covered Chen Yongliang's mouth and said with a fawning smile, "It's alright! Sister Qi, are you done eating?"
Wan Qiqi glanced at them, not believing that the two were alright.
However, she was too lazy to argue with the two of them and said, "Pretty much."
She glanced at the mule cart and said, "You might not be back today. Have you spoken to your family about it?"
"Hey, Sister Qi, don't worry, the family won't take care of it!" Wu Gousheng waved his hand, looking indifferent.
The family no longer cared what he did; they wished he would be with Sister Qi every day!
Two days ago, Sister Qi gave him paper, pen, and an inkstone, and his parents were overjoyed.
He's currently searching everywhere for money to raise enough for tuition to send Wu Choudan to school. He has no time to worry about himself.
He didn't care about that; he felt that being able to follow Wan Qiqi was good enough.
He wants to find an opportunity to learn a few tricks from Brother Yongnian so he can better protect Sister Qi!
Wan Qiqi didn't know what he was thinking, but she could tell from his expression that his relationship with his family wasn't as strained as before.
She couldn't negotiate tuition fees with the academy, but sending a set of writing materials to the Wu family was still an option.
Wan Ziyan also had a relatively good opinion of Wu Gousheng's younger brother, at least giving the child a chance to learn.
As for the tuition fees and the money to buy pens and books, Wu Gousheng's family was to find their own way.
Wan Qiqi felt indebted to Wu Gousheng, as she had given all the benefits to his family, but he hadn't taken anything in return.
Seeing that Wan Qiqi hadn't spoken for a while, Wu Gousheng said, "Really, her family won't say anything! Sister Qi, come in and sit for a while. The person you asked me to find should be here soon!"
He had barely finished speaking when a sound came from outside.
"Brother Gousheng!"
Wan Qiqi looked in the direction of the voice and saw two familiar faces.
One of them was Erpang, who always followed Wu Gousheng around.
The other one, though appearing less frequently than Erpang, was always very efficient in his work.
Wan Qiqi remembered his name; it was Tie Niu.
Wu Gousheng turned around and waved to the two of them, striking a pose like an older brother, and said, "You two are late! You can't do this when you're working at the restaurant with Sister Qi!"
"Oh!" Erpang scratched his head, looking a little aggrieved.
Tie Niu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, boss, I'll definitely do it!"
Based on their answers alone, Wan Qiqi could roughly tell that the two were completely different.
One is a bit silly and simple-minded, the other is a bit clever, but also a bit cunning.
If you're working in a restaurant, Erpang is suitable for the kitchen, and Tieniu is suitable for the front of house.
Seeing that Wan Qiqi didn't speak, Wu Gousheng continued to scold her: "Remember, be more careful when you work in the restaurant from now on. Don't let me find you slacking off, and don't bully anyone, understand?"
Wan Qiqi chuckled softly; it had been a long time since she had seen Wu Gousheng like this.
Sure enough, he's different in front of his little brother!
Wan Qiqi didn't say much. She gave Wang Zhi and Chen Yongxing a few instructions, and after coaxing Pingping and An'an for a while, she got on the mule cart.
The road to Hefeng Town was the same, but Wan Qiqi felt that the surroundings were different.
The surroundings used to be gray and gloomy, but now they are bright and open.
Soon, the mule cart stopped in front of Xiangmingxuan.
No! The signboard has been changed and now it's called Xinglong Restaurant!
The store across the street, called Bafanglaike, has already started operating, and there are many customers coming and going.
Xinglong Restaurant, however, remained closed and empty.
Wan Qiqi stood at the door for a while, showing no intention of getting out of the car.
Then he said to Wu Gousheng, "Go to the backyard!"
The side door of Xinglong Restaurant leads to the backyard, and the door is currently open, with waiters busy at work.
Upon seeing the mule cart arrive, someone immediately came over and said, "Gentlemen, the restaurant is not officially open yet. Please come back in a few days!"
Wan Qiqi raised an eyebrow and carefully examined what was in front of her.
