Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 142 Unexpected Celebration

Chapter 140 Nine Unexpected Celebrations

The father and daughter will have nothing to say about their next itinerary.When the ox cart drove to the entrance of Qingqiao Alley, Liang Yuzhong reined in the ox rope and said to Jin Xi: "Xi'er, you did the right thing today! But don't tell your mother about those nonsense things. , I don't want her to worry too much."

Jin Xi raised her eyebrows, nodded, and said, "If you want Mother not to worry, the key to this matter is still on you."

Liang Yuzhong smiled helplessly, patted Jinxi on the shoulder, and said, "Silly girl, I am your father, and my father only cares about your three mothers, how long will our family have enough to eat? My brain was kicked by a bull to think about such a mess Dad doesn’t want to talk about such things, don’t worry so much about your little one, just take care of your shop, ah!”

Jin Xi smiled disapprovingly, Liang Yuzhong was indeed not the kind of showman, but Jin Xi still wanted to hit him.Now that he has received his positive guarantee, Jin Xi is also relieved, quickly jumps off the bullock cart, and enters the alley briskly.

Jin Xi went into Qianlixiang's early shop first, and found that Sun Yuxia and Jinrou were not there, but Sun Dahu, Sun's family and Qinya were in the shop. After asking, she found out that Sun Yuxia took Jinrou to play in the street.

"Xi'er, your Uncle Yubao came to look for you just now, and told you to go to Sun Ji as soon as you come back, and said that he has something good to tell you." Sun poured a bowl of tea for Jin Xi and reminded her road.

The temperature of the tea was just right, Jin Xi drank the tea in two or three sips, strode out of the shop, and went to Sun Ji next door.

In Sun Ji's shop, shopkeeper Zhang was receiving customers in twos and threes. Jin Xi went straight to the small courtyard at the back, and as soon as she stepped in, she found that besides Sun Yubao, Sun Erhu, and Liang Yuzhong who had just brought the cart in, there were many people in the small courtyard. There were two teenagers standing with their heads bowed. They were about the same size as Sun Erhu and the others, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Xi'er, you came just in time, come quickly." Seeing Jin Xi, Sun Yubao hurriedly waved to her.

"What is uncle looking for?" Jin Xi asked with a smile.

"Here, Xi'er, look, Sun Ji will have two more helpers in the future!" Sun Yubao pointed to the two young men, and said, "The two brothers used to work as waiters in restaurants. They are diligent and clever. How about I invite you to come and have a look?"

Jin Xi glanced at the two teenagers standing with their arms down, only to find that the two looked exactly the same, the only difference was that one of them had a small red mole between his eyebrows.

"Uncle, have you explained to them the work and rules in our shop in detail?" Jin Xi asked Sun Yubao, obviously very happy, Sun Ji's business is getting more and more prosperous, and he also has the service of door-to-door delivery, manpower She was too busy for a long time, Jin Xi mentioned to Sun Yubao and Sun Erhu twice to recruit assistants, but they couldn't find any suitable ones, so they have been dragging on until now.

These two people have experience in running halls in restaurants, and it is easier to get started than those who are unfamiliar.

Sun Yubao waved his hands again and again, and said, "Xi'er, these two people were not recruited by me, they were sent by Wending in the morning, here, there is this thing along with it."

After Sun Yubao finished speaking, he stuffed the two pieces of paper into Jin Xi's hands. Jin Xi opened it and couldn't help being surprised.

These are two deeds of selling their lives. Wen Ding dared to give these two brothers to Jin Xi. From now on, their brothers are hers, and everything is at her disposal.

"Uncle, Uncle Erhu, how can Big Brother Wen present such an important gift? I can't accept it." Jin Xi said.

"Xi'er, just accept it. It will be your birthday in a few days. Brother Wen said this is a birthday gift for you. How can you not accept it? At worst, when it's your birthday, we Set a table, or go to a restaurant to have a meal, invite Wending over, toast him with a glass of wine, and express your thanks!" Sun Yubao persuaded.

Jin Xi looked at Sun Erhu to see what he had to say, Sun Erhu smiled at Jin Xi honestly, and said, "Yu Bao is right, you can accept it at ease, Xi'er, don't disappoint Brother Wen's kindness. Besides, we Sooner or later, we will have to recruit jobs, and instead of going outside to find those people who don’t know their background, it’s better to be at ease with the people sent by Wending.”

Even so, Jin Xi had nothing to say, so she could only accept this great gift from Wen Ding.

Seeing Jinxi sizing them up, the two brothers were clever, knowing that Jinxi accepted, they knelt down and kowtowed to Jinxi, calling Jinxi 'Master'. '

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't call me this title, just call me Miss from now on."

Alai and Awang saluted Liang Yuzhong again, calling him "Master" and calling Sun Yubao and Sun Erhu "Young Master".Others were still getting used to this address, Liang Yuzhong was called Master for the first time, and he was a little at a loss.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Although she is located in a village and a small town, this era is a powerful society. Jin Xi's goal is far more than the immediate wealth.One day, she will rely on hard work to make a big family and have a large family of servants. At that time, Liang Yuzhong shouldn't be at a loss because of someone else's "Master" and bowing down, right?
The two brothers look very simple, and their eyes reveal a cleverness. The most important thing is that they don't talk too much. Maybe it's because they were trained by Wending. Jin Xi is also very satisfied with the two brothers. .After casually explaining to them a few things about the shop, he sent them to the front shop to work with shopkeeper Zhang, and waited for shopkeeper Zhang and Sun Yubao to explain the rest.

Liang Yuzhong, Sun Yubao, Sun Erhu and Jinxi came to Qianlixiang together, saw Sun, and Sun Yubao went up to discuss with her: "Elder Sister, it will be Xi'er's birthday in a few days, why don't you go back to Sunjiagou for a few more days, When the time comes, let's go to the restaurant and book a big box, so that we can have a good time together, how about it?"

"Well, I have already discussed this matter with your brother-in-law. This time, I will leave it to your uncle to take care of Xi'er's birthday. I don't know which restaurant in this town is good!" He hesitates to agree, and looks at Jin Xi with a smile, his eyes are full of unresolved kindness.

Recalling her daughter's many illnesses and misfortunes at that time, and seeing her alive and kicking now, and thinking of her daughter's eleventh birthday after her birthday, Sun's eyes were filled with relief.

Sitting there with a smile on her face, Jin Xi felt emotional, yes, they all remembered her birthday, but she herself didn't remember it at all. To be precise, she was too busy to worry about it at all. The host's Her birthday is the [-]th day of the fourth lunar month, so there are indeed six days left.

When it was time for lunch, Sun Yuxia and Jinrou also came back. Jinxi originally thought that Jinrou must have both hands full of shopping, but when she saw Jinrou, her hands were empty, even two sticks of candy Jin Xi was quite surprised that he didn't take any skewers.

When Ye Jinxi went to bed to rest, Jinrou, who had been playing for a long time, could no longer bear the fatigue, she hugged the quilt in the bed and slept peacefully like a puppy.Jin Xi has a smile in her eyes, this girl is dishonest when she sleeps, and she loves kicking the quilt when it is hot at the end of spring, but she doesn't know that it is cold at night, and if she is not careful, she will catch a cold, so Jin Xi gently pulls the quilt back for her.

Then he gently took off his clothes, untied his hair, and habitually stuffed the handkerchief he carried with him under the pillow, when his fingers suddenly touched a foreign object under the pillow.Jin Xi walked to the table with the three inner and outer three layers of handkerchiefs, and opened them layer by layer in the light of the fire on the table, and then she saw a very common thing on the market lying on her palm .

It was a little clay figurine with a big head and a small body, with crooked smiling eyes and one hand resting on his forehead.

Jin Xi stared at the clay figurine's eyebrows, eyes, facial features, clothes on his body, and bun on his head in surprise, and suddenly found the mystery, and couldn't help laughing.

This clay figurine was basically made according to Jin Xi's own appearance, no wonder it looks so familiar, even the gesture she does most often, that of touching her forehead with her palm, has been made out of it.

Looking at the back of the clay figurine, there is a row of small characters as thick as mosquito legs engraved: Sister's birthday is in good health.

Jin Xi suddenly remembered the mysterious appearance of Sun Yuxia and Jin Rou today, went out to play in the street for most of the day without buying anything, it turned out that she secretly prepared a birthday surprise for her!

Jin Xi turned her head to look at Jin Rou on the bed, she was breathing evenly, and the corners of her mouth were still upturned in her sleep, maybe she dreamed of something happy.

Jin Xi held the little clay figurine in her hands, her eyes were so warm that she didn't realize it.

How long has it been since you received a present on your birthday?Since her parents divorced, no one has paid attention to her birthday except herself. Both parents are busy with their new families. Even if they remember to make up a phone call later to say their belated blessings, it has long been unable to comfort her. Xi was left out of the heart.

Now in this other world, as Sun's daughter, Sun and Sun Yubao keep her birthday in their hearts so much, and the seven-year-old sister also tried their best to surprise her, there is a soft spot in Jin Xi's heart It was a mess, and the whole body and mind seemed to be enveloped by a warm feeling.

The vendors who make clay figurines under the arch bridge are very skilled and the price is not expensive. A clay figurine costs ten yuan at most.What Jin Xi cares about is not the price of the gift, but the feeling of being cared and watched behind it, this feeling is really good.

Jin Xi stood by the table for a long while, wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes, then rewrapped the little clay figurine, put it in a special wooden box for her, and locked it. She will take the little clay figurine out tomorrow. Take it to bake and dry, and store it for a long time.

Originally planned to go to a private room on the top of the restaurant and invite Wending and the big guys to have a good time together, but this plan was interrupted when he received a message from Sunjiagou.

Father Sun fell on his leg in the tea garden, Jinxi Gapo sent a message, telling Sun Dahu and the others to go back quickly.

Hearing this news, everyone couldn't sit still, and Jinxi was even more anxious. Father Sun is a kind old man, and he loves Jinxi and the others as if they were his own granddaughters.If it wasn't because of the busy work in the shops on both sides that she couldn't leave, Jin Xi would definitely go back to visit.

"Auntie, you and uncle should pack up and leave early tomorrow morning to go back to Sunjiagou. It will take a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, and Dagagong can't be left alone to take care of you! Uncle Erhu will also go back together. "Jin Xi told Sun Yuxia, because when she heard the news, it was already afternoon and the sun was almost westward, so it would be too late to rush back to the mountain.

"Well, I will leave early tomorrow morning with your uncle and the two tigers, and I just pack up tonight." Sun Yuxia said.

Jin Xi saw that Sun and Liang Yuzhong looked anxious, thought for a while, and said, "Father, mother, why don't you go back together, Dagagong injured his leg, and the tea gardens of our two families And the rapeseed and wheat in the few fields on the back hillside also need to be taken care of."

"Xi'er, your uncle and I have left. Anyway, your parents can still help you take care of the breakfast shop. If you send them back, what about the breakfast shop?" Sun Yuxia asked urgently.

"Didn't Sun Ji add two buddies? Then I can ask Uncle Yubao to help me, and besides, there are me and Qin Ya, we both know how to make breakfast." Jin Xi said.

"Elder Sister and Second Sister, just listen to Xi'er, I'll come over here and watch over when the time comes, it's fine." Sun Yubao said.

Sun Erhu also said: "I'll go back with you this trip to visit father, first to see how his injury is, if he needs someone to take care of him, my sister and brother-in-law will stay, and I will rush back to town when the time comes."

After such a discussion, everyone felt that this was the only way to arrange it.

"Xi'er, Mom just feels that I owe you. It's just a few days before your birthday, so I agreed to go to the restaurant to have fun for you..." Sun said with red eyes, and Liang Yuzhong also had a full face. Guilty, I used to live with Lao Liang's family. My daughter was 11 years old and never had a good birthday. Let alone longevity noodles, I couldn't even get a bowl of egg custard!

The couple had planned it long ago. It's a rare girl's birthday this year, so she must make up for it.But who knows?People are not as good as God.

"Father, mother, don't be like this. My birthday is a trivial matter. We can't spend it together this year. There will be next year, the year after next year, the year after the next year... Don't think too much about it, let's have breakfast tonight , everyone, rest early, and set off early in the morning, if I can't get away, I really don't want to go back to see the big man!" Jin Xi said with a sore nose, holding Sun's arm.

Sun patted Jinxi's head affectionately, Sun Yuxia suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Sister, don't be sad, how about we cook more dishes at night and congratulate girl Xi earlier? "

Sun Yuxia's proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

"Okay, then I'll go and soak the eggs, and then I'll cook red eggs for Xi'er and peel them!" Sun said excitedly.

"Then I'll serve Xi'er a bowl of longevity noodles, so that you can enjoy a long and healthy life!" Sun Yuxia stroked her hands.

"I'm going to make a steamed birthday cake!" Sun Dahu said, before he finished his sentence, he went to the backyard eagerly.

"I'll go to the street to weigh the meat to see if I can still buy carp, and I'll ask Xi Erniang to make a sweet and sour carp. I'll invite shopkeeper Zhang and the others to come over for dinner, and then I'll make a jar of good wine. I'll celebrate it with Xi Er in the evening !” said Liang Yuzhong, and hurried out the door too!
"I gave my sister a little clay figurine, and my sister said she likes it very much!" Jin Rou said happily, Jin Xi smiled and patted Jin Rou's head.

"Ah, I haven't come here yet to prepare in a hurry, so how about it, Xi'er, sit down, I'll pinch your neck and hammer your legs first, and I'll make it up when you celebrate your birthday later!" Qin Ya sucked Niubi said loudly.

Sun Yubao and Sun Erhu looked at each other, they both shook their heads and laughed, and Sun Yubao said, "I'll give you my share when it's your real birthday, so I'll keep your appetite first!"

"I want to go with Yu Bao!" Sun Erhu scratched his head and smiled honestly.

Jin Xi looked at all the people in the room, the expressions and smiles on each and every one of them were so sincere and simple, and they came from the heart, without any pretentiousness, Jin Xi originally had a very tough character, and she didn't like to cry However, facing such a group of relatives and friends, Jin Xi couldn't control her eyes any more, her nose was sour, and the corners of her eyes became moist again...

................................................

The next day, Sun Dahu was driving a carriage, and the carriage was covered with thick quilts, and there were Mrs. Sun, Sun Yuxia and Jinrou sitting there.Followed by Liang Yuzhong and Sun Erhu, they drove an ox cart with salutes on it, and the group of people brought some hot steamed buns on their bodies, and left the town early to go to Sunjiagou.

In Sun Ji's grocery store, there is a shopkeeper Zhang, and the two brothers Alai and Awang are helping each other, but they are also very busy.

In the Qianlixiang shop here, Sun Yubao and Jinxi Qinya were as busy as tops, they didn't even have a chance to catch their breath.Even though they were so tired that their feet didn't touch the ground, the three of Jin Xi were all full of joy. Keep busy, this shows that business is booming!

After finally receiving the peak hours of business in the morning, the shop was a little more spacious, Jin Xi and the three of them cleared up a table, hurriedly grabbed something to eat to fill their stomachs, and then, Qin Ya went to the backyard to wash the dishes non-stop Jin Xi was busy tidying up the tables and chairs, while Sun Yubao was in charge of cleaning.

When the sun is high, pedestrians come and go on the streets outside, and the residents of the town start to make a living again day after day.

Sun Yubao went to Sun Ji next door, Jin Xi and Qin Ya were sitting at the table, busy making wontons and stewed dumplings while talking.

Suddenly, someone at the door called Jin Xi affectionately, and the voice was still so familiar, Jin Xi turned her head and saw two dusty figures standing at the door arm in arm, and she couldn't help being startled secretly.

"Sister, this shop of yours made it easy for us to find it. After asking many people, we finally found it!" Liang Jinlan waved to Jinxi with a smile like a flower, and Liang Yumei stood beside her, with a tired look on her fat face. She was very pale, but she couldn't stop the novelty in her eyes. When Liang Jinlan waved and shouted at Jinxi, Liang Yumei also tilted her head and looked up and down the breakfast shop.

"Xi'er, who are they?" Qin Ya asked, her eyes swiveled on Liang Yumei's round body, and she couldn't help but click her tongue secretly.

"My sister-in-law and my cousin." Jin Xi said.

When Sun's Sun Yuxia and Jinxi talked about the old Liang's affairs, they never shy away from Qin Ya.Hearing that it was these two people who came, Qinya frowned almost invisibly.

"Sister, why are you staring blankly? Come quickly and receive the salute. My aunt and I have come here to help you celebrate your birthday according to grandma's orders! Why don't you hurry up and pick up my sister?" Liang Jinlan raised her eyebrows. Said, Liang Yumei stood at the door with her hands clasped, her fat body blocked there like a wall, she didn't take a step, she just stared at Jin Xi coldly, looking down with an unwarranted sense of superiority.

"It's all at the door, so just step in, don't you? Still have to pick it up!" Qin Ya muttered, but Jin Xi smiled lowly, and said, "You're just a guest at the door, so why don't I pick it up?"

After finishing speaking, Jin Xi got up unhurriedly, walked towards the door, and walked over with a distant smile on her face.
