Chapter 368 Annoyance
Shi Liu was surprised that the young woman didn't seem like a normal adult and looked mentally immature. He was just about to ask Xing Hua about it quietly.

A few women who came to watch the fun became envious when they saw Shi Liu giving the apricot blossom candy, but they were adults after all, so they were too embarrassed to go up and ask for some. Some of them were smart enough to call their own children over.

This girl looks so friendly, I guess she would give some candies to other kids when she meets them, right?
Thinking of trying to please the girl, one of the women started talking to her when she saw her curiously staring at the young woman. "Girl, aren't you looking for Mr. Zhou? This is Mr. Zhou's wife, Ah Xiu!"

Shi Liu was slightly surprised when she heard this. This was Zhou Xudou's wife, the childhood sweetheart?

She knew before that Zhou Xudou had a childhood marriage. When Zhou Xudou mentioned his fiancée, he was all smiles and said that he would marry her at the end of the year. She thought at the time that they were childhood sweethearts and it would definitely be a harmonious marriage.

But he never expected that this fiancée was a little unusual.

"Zhou Xiucai and Ah Xiu grew up together. Their families arranged a marriage for them when they were young. Ah Xiu's parents only have her as their only child, so the two families treated Zhou Xiucai as their own son. The two families have a very good relationship!

Unexpectedly, when Ah Xiu was eight years old, she fell into the water and had a fever. Although she survived, her brain was also confused. Her body had grown up, but her mind was still that of an eight-year-old child!
Girl, just treat her as a child. If she treats you badly, don't bother with her."

The woman kept talking because she was afraid that Shi Liu would find out that this was Mr. Zhou's wife and think it was a joke that Mr. Zhou married such a stupid wife. "Mr. Zhou is a man of affection and righteousness. Even though Ah Xiu is like this, he didn't despise her and married her anyway. They have been married for more than a year, and we villagers have all seen it. Mr. Zhou treats Ah Xiu very well and loves his wife very much!"
Ah Xiu is just a little childish, nothing else, she is a capable person! "

Shi Liu also sighed as he listened. On the one hand, he felt that Zhou Xudou was a man of integrity and righteousness, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he was not burned into a fool. The IQ of a fool is different from that of an eight-year-old child.

Although the eight-year-old was a little childish, the two of them could at least have a normal chat and conversation.

Just then, a sound was heard outside, and Heizi came back running.

"My uncle is back!"

"Uncle, those guests are at my house!"

Soon after, Zhou Xudou, dressed in shorts and looking nothing like a scholar, also came in.

At first glance, he saw that the people standing in the yard looked very unfamiliar and was curious about what they were looking for him for.

But he caught a glimpse of Fu Dong and his pupils shrank. Then he looked at the pomegranate in front of Fu Dong. He paused, took two steps forward, and bowed, saying, "It's Miss Li! Why are you here? My humble abode is simple and I am sorry for neglecting you. I hope you won't despise me, Miss Li."

As he said this, he invited Shi Liu to go to his house next door.

The young lady who was eating candy with Xinghua came over and took Zhou Xudou's hand, smiling happily, "Husband, candy is delicious."

Zhou Xudou subconsciously held her hand and smiled at her. Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly introduced her to Shi Liu, "Miss Li, this is my wife. I haven't thanked Miss Li in person yet. The wedding gift you sent is really expensive. I haven't invited Miss Li to drink a wedding wine yet. Miss Li must stay for a simple meal today."

"Mrs. Zhou." Shi Liu smiled at Ah Xiu, and then said, "Mr. Zhou, I would have the nerve to bother you even if you didn't invite me. I hope I won't cause you any trouble."

Ah Xiu was stunned by her calling her Mrs. Zhou. She smiled at Shi Liu embarrassedly and hid behind Zhou Xudou.

Zhou Xudou said to Shi Liu calmly but apologetically, "My wife is a little timid, please don't mind, Miss Li." Shi Liu shook her head, "It's okay."

Zhou Xudou invited Shi Liu to go to his house next door, and Shi Liu followed him. Just at this time, several children came running towards this side, saying that they wanted to play with Xinghua.

Shi Liu looked at this and gave all the oil paper bags to Xing Hua, asking her to distribute the candies to the children.

The women who had seen this also smiled and hurriedly called out to Zhou Xu, "Mr. Zhou, we have distinguished guests at home. Do you want us to help prepare the meals?"

Zhou Xudou immediately bowed and said, "That's great. I'll trouble you, Sister Fu."

Shi Liu stepped into the Zhou family's yard, and Zuo Cheng behind him retreated quietly.

Soon, Zhou Xudou's parents and A Xiu's parents came back. Zhou Xudou introduced them to Miss Li, who had helped him and given him silver when they met her in the capital before and who later gave him a wedding gift. The two couples, who were not good at speaking, hurriedly expressed their gratitude and welcome to Shi Liu.

If you can’t say it, just do it.

We dug out the brown sugar and eggs at home and quickly prepared the sugar-water eggs.

Shi Liu only brought Fu Dong, Hu Zhen, Zuo Cheng, Wu Jin, another guard Chang Xing, and the manager Qian Jinzhong. At four eggs per person, a total of twenty-eight eggs were needed.

Fudong, who had good hearing, heard Zhou Xudou's mother and mother-in-law whispering in the kitchen about killing the hens in the backyard and borrowing rice from someone's house to prepare meals, so he told Shi Liu.

Shi Liu nodded to show that she understood, and turned to answer Zhou Xudou's question, "I heard from Master Zhou that Gufeng Village is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. I want to find a place to open a workshop. After thinking about it, I realized that you are the only one I know in Rongjiang County, so I came here uninvited."

Zhou Xudou later inquired about his benefactor and learned that the Li family ran a workshop and that the specialty store in Rongjiang County that did very good business sold food produced in Li's workshop. Before, when Ah Xiu was sick and couldn't eat, he went in and bought one or two ounces of meat floss for Ah Xiu to eat.

That meat floss is really delicious.

He also knew about Li Ji Candy Shop and Li Ji Medicinal Restaurant in the city. They were all Miss Li's businesses.

Hearing that Miss Li was coming to Rongjiang County to open a workshop, he was also stunned. He quickly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Miss Li, do you mean to build a workshop in our village?"

"I wonder if it's convenient? I only know you, Mr. Zhou, in Rongjiang County. I feel at ease building a workshop in your village." said Shi Liu.

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient!" Zhou Xudou was very happy. He also wanted to do something for his village. Their village was too poor. If Miss Li was willing to build a workshop here and hire some villagers to work in the workshop, then everyone's life would slowly get better.

"Miss Li, wait a moment. I'll go get our village chief!"

Zhou Xudou was about to go out when he spoke. Old Man Zhou heard his son's words. Although he didn't know what kind of workshop it was, seeing his son so excited, he hurriedly said that he would go and call the village chief and let his son talk to the guests. Otherwise, if his son left, they would not know how to entertain the distinguished guest.

Seeing that his father had left, Zhou Xudou sat back and continued chatting with Shi Liu.
