Chapter 613 Chen Lizheng's Request
Lianhua Village has been extremely lively these past two days.
The villagers kept moving around, discussing what had happened in the past two days.
After arranging things in the village, Wan Qiqi will embark on another journey back to Yunhe County to run a restaurant and prepare new dishes for the market.
However, before that, Wan Qiqi needs to send the two children back to Hefeng Town.
The hurried journey left everyone reluctant to leave.
Wang Zhi stuffed all the good things in the house into the carriage, while instructing, "Yongnian, you need to keep an eye on Qiqi, make sure she eats on time and rests early. Let the restaurant staff do the dirty and tiring work..."
Wan Qiqi had heard Wang Zhi repeat these words countless times in the past two days, but never before had they touched her as deeply as they did now.
When she left home for work before, her family always reminded her of the same thing, over and over again.
She used to find it annoying, and now she misses it but can no longer hear it.
When she first arrived, she wondered if she could go back if she died, but then she thought that if she didn't, it wouldn't be worth it, so she has always cherished her life.
Upon seeing Wang Zhi, Wan Qiqi again brought up the original owner's sorrow.
Since she transmigrated, her original family members have only appeared twice, both times with a purpose.
Even during holidays, she never went back home, and no one came to tell her.
Wan Qiqi felt that the original owner of this body was really no different from an orphan.
"Mother, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on things..." Chen Yongnian jumped off the carriage and spoke to Wang Zhi.
Pingping and An'an exchanged a glance, then looked up at Wan Qiqi.
Pingping asked, "Mother, are we going back to town now? Are you leaving?"
Upon hearing this, An'an's eyes welled up with tears, as if she had been abandoned.
Wan Qiqi wanted to answer Pingping, but seeing An'an's expression, she choked on her words and then comforted her, "No, we'll go back to town tonight."
"Really?" An'an asked with wide, expectant eyes.
Wan Qiqi couldn't bear to refuse the child, nor did she want to disappoint them. "Yes, we're going back to town today; when we get back, I'll ask around and see if I can take you all to visit Yunhe County, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Pingping frowned slightly, "Mother, what about our studies..."
"I'll ask around first. Taking a few days off shouldn't be a problem. If that doesn't work, I'll have your second uncle make up for it. He's aiming to become a scholar!" Wan Qiqi said with a sly smile to Chen Yongliang.
When Chen Yongliang heard Wan Qiqi teasing him, he turned his face away as if he hadn't heard, but then met An An's questioning gaze.
"Yes, I'm aiming to become a scholar. I know everything you've learned, and I can teach you. If that doesn't work, you can go to the county; Uncle Zhu Youcai can teach you. He knows a lot!"
Pingping and An'an didn't recognize Zhu Youcai and looked at Chen Yongliang with confusion, somewhat bewildered.
Outside, Chen Yongnian finally finished communicating with Wang Zhi and drove the carriage forward.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
"Sister Qi, Chen Li is waiting for you at the village entrance. He seems to have something to discuss with you," Wu Gousheng said through the carriage curtain.
Is something the matter?
As far as Wan Qiqi was concerned, she had said everything she needed to say, and she had also told Chen Yongxing about anything that might raise questions. What could Chen Lizheng want with her at this time?
Wu Gousheng didn't hear a response from inside, so he said again, "Sister Qi, I saw that Chen Lizheng was with Chen Sanyuan, which may be related to his son."
Chen Sanyuan?
In Wan Qiqi's impression, this person was actually quite good. He was literate and polite, but he was a bit stubborn. Once he was certain about something, he wouldn't believe what others said.
In this respect, I am similar to myself.
"What fun things have happened in the village lately?" Wan Qiqi asked.
"Something fun?" Wu Gousheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
When did Sister Qi start liking these things?
Thinking about it again, Wan Qiqi was probably asking what was happening in the village.
Upon closer reflection, it's nothing serious, just trivial matters. As for anything significant...
Wu Gousheng combined what was on his mind with Chen Sanyuan's words and said, "Sister Qi, I heard from the village that Chen Sanyuan told Chen the village head that he doesn't want to get married anymore, he wants to go out and find work, and he wants to go out and try his luck."
Based on this, and considering the situation at the village entrance, Wan Qiqi immediately understood Chen Lizheng's purpose in coming.
However, she was somewhat surprised.
Everyone in the village knows that Chen Lizheng has been grooming Chen Sanyuan to be the next village head since he was a child, hoping that his son can continue to serve Lianhua Village in his old age.
Now, Chen Lizheng is actually willing to let Chen Sanyuan go?
Upon closer reflection, Wan Qiqi wasn't surprised.
She, Chen Yongnian, Chen Yongliang, Wu Gousheng, Tie Niu, Erpang... all those who went out with her were transformed, started their own businesses, and grew rapidly.
When other villagers saw this, they couldn't help but feel envious.
However, she wasn't willing to accept just anyone; she wanted to be responsible for the entire Xinglong Restaurant.
The restaurant doesn't belong to her alone; she should at least discuss it with the other two owners so that she can't have sole control.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the village entrance.
Wan Qiqi lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down from the carriage.
"Uncle Chen, what's the matter?"
Even though Wan Qiqi knew Chen Lizheng's purpose, she still asked a question.
Chen Lizheng looked a little embarrassed, glancing at Wan Qiqi and then at his own son.
“Um, Qiqi, I know a lot of people in the village want to ask you for jobs, but you’ve turned them all down… I… I just want Sanyuan to go out and try his luck. He’ll be unfamiliar with the place and the people there, so I’d like you to help him find work…”
Chen Li looked at Wan Qiqi uncertainly, swallowed hard, and waited for Wan Qiqi's answer.
“Sure! Sanyuan is literate, but the restaurant needs a waiter. If he doesn’t mind the hard work, he can come and work at the restaurant.”
