The Pretty Peasant Wife

"You guys finally came. If you didn't come to Butler Xu, you would have smashed your head against the wall. I was just worried that you guys wouldn't change your mind." As soon as Cheng Xi entered, Aunt Zhu who was washing vegetables in the courtyard said with a smile.

Butler Xu, who had heard the commotion, came out from the kitchen and also heard Aunt Zhu's words. She smiled and replied, "Nonsense, I'm just worried that I won't be able to handle it in the next few days. How could a married couple like them not keep their promises?"

After saying that, he called out to the two of them to go to the dorms at the side of the backyard to place their greetings. Passing through a small door in the backyard was fine, the dorms were better than what Cheng Xi expected. There was a row of rooms, and according to the Butler Xu's introductions, there were usually two or three people in each room.

The Butler Xu brought the two to a room that was close to him. The room was quite spacious, with a bed, a simple cabinet, and a broken table beside the bed. After seeing Xu Sanlang's thatched hut, Cheng Xi felt that it was actually a good room, but Cheng Xi suspected that no one lived inside.

Sure enough, the Butler Xu opened his mouth and said, "This room has always been empty, thinking that you are young married couples, I called everyone over and specially packed them for you. There are almost all of them in the other daily necessities restaurants, but you have to make the blankets yourself, did you bring any?"

Cheng Xi shook her head, and replied, "When we are free, we can go out and buy another set."

Butler Xu nodded his head, "All of you should quickly pack up and then hurry over. When it's noon, you should start getting busy."

Xu Sanlang nodded his head in acknowledgement and after thanking him, Butler Xu left first, leaving the two of them to put away their luggage.

Cheng Xi sized up this small dorm room and sighed in her heart. She had originally thought that she would live with Mistress Cloud, Aunt Zhu and the others in the dorm, but who would have thought that this Butler Xu would kindly prepare a separate room for them. Now, he had no choice but to live with Xu Sanlang again.

Although Xu Sanlang was currently his own husband, in Cheng Xi's heart, he was still a man that he was not very familiar with. Furthermore, he was just a companion.

But with such conditions, it would be great if she could settle down, and Cheng Xi would not be so picky about her decisions, she could only stay, in the end, Xu Sanlang was the person she was most familiar with, and living together would be better than living with a stranger. Cheng Xi comforted herself.

Xu Sanlang carried his luggage and was about to put it away in the wardrobe, but he was stopped by Cheng Xi who came back to her senses, "Don't go first, no one lives here. We'll need to clean our luggage first."

Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Sanlang placed the luggage on the bed and said: "It's already noon, let's go and work. If there's nothing else, come back and pack up."

Cheng Xi agreed and nodded, and took the lead to walk out the door, then replied, "Let's go."

The kitchen was something that Cheng Xi was most familiar with, other than the fact that burning the stove was Cheng Xi's weakness, the rest of it was not difficult for him, the Chief Zhao was more and more satisfied with Cheng Xi, and his own son was basically just a servant, while Cheng Xi was gradually becoming his assistant.

Xu Sanlang's hands and feet were nimbly and diligently, his strength was also huge, he was basically holding onto two people, allowing the others to relax. The Butler Xu had basically all calmed down, and only watched as he held hands from time to time, inside and outside, to maintain the orderly operation of the kitchen, which was no longer as busy as before.

This scene caused Butler Xu to be so happy that his mouth couldn't close. From time to time, he would praise Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang, and he didn't forget to praise himself as well, as well as his foresight.

After finishing their lunch and eating, Butler Xu personally brought the two out to buy blankets. The two didn't have much money in their hands, so they bought a bed cover and even took out the cheapest bed sheet, which costed about a hundred gold coins. This was because they were familiar with the Butler Xu, and also bought some necessities, towels, etc.

Seeing that Xu Sanlang only had a few copper coins left, Cheng Xi gritted her teeth. She spent 60 gold coins to buy a small piece of Braised Bean, which was shockingly expensive, causing her pain to increase, but there was nothing she could do. She just had to busy herself in the kitchen everyday.

The days passed by quickly like this, and the people in the kitchen did not go to the front hall often. At most, they would be in contact with the waiters serving the dishes in the hall.

Remembering the look in the Shopkeeper Xia's eyes, Cheng Xi did not plan to go out and make herself feel uncomfortable, and peacefully stayed in the small world like the kitchen, where Xu Sanlang was supposed to do his job, and basically stayed in the kitchen as well. Furthermore, the two of them were currently in a predicament, so they would not leave the restaurant, and although living this kind of life was monotonous, but compared to living her life in the village, she felt happier and more secure, at least she did not have to worry about his food.

After four to five days, the busiest time of the afternoon was already past, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were still busy cooking at the back, when Xiao Li, who was entertaining guests, suddenly came over and went straight to Cheng Xi.

When Xu Sanlang saw this person, he frowned. This was Xiao Li, the first time they had come, he had called out to their waiter and would then cook from time to time. Furthermore, he mostly went to Cheng Xi's side, where the two of them would often chat and laugh.

Xu Sanlang, who was packing up on the other side, unwittingly went to Cheng Xi's side and stood between Cheng Xi and the little boy, Xiao Li.

He directly said, "Brother Xu, Little Xi, two people have come from outside the restaurant. They said that it's your brother and they are looking for you, so I was afraid that they would directly come in and offend the shopkeeper, so I made them wait at the entrance. They sneaked in to inform you that you guys should quickly go take a look." With that, he turned and left.

Cheng Xi's eyes lit up when she heard him, she had almost forgotten about this matter, but she was still working hard, so she couldn't leave. Cheng Xi turned her gaze towards Butler Xu, just as she was about to ask her, she heard Xiao Li's words, and said. "Have your brother come over from the back door." After that, she said to Xiao Li who had walked to the door, "Xiao Li, can I trouble you to inform them that you're coming over from the back door?"

Little Li smiled and replied, "Sure." After which, he quickly left the room.

The Butler Xu saw Cheng Xi's impatient look, and laughed: "This place is pretty busy, the two of you go and wait at the back, we can't delay too long."

Cheng Xi nodded in understanding, then put down the work in her hands and followed Xu Sanlang to the entrance of the backyard.

After staying for a few days, Cheng Xi had more or less understood the situation of the restaurant, and of course, understood what Butler Xu meant.

The two of them stood at the entrance of the backyard, and Cheng Xi looked over there. Soon enough, she saw the Second Brother coming around the corner, and happily waved at the two of them. When the two saw Cheng Xi, they revealed smiles on their faces, and quickly walked over.

The two of them entered the backyard, and Cheng Xi called for the two of them to go directly to the small courtyard in the dorm. There was a small courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, there was a stone table, and there were a few wooden stools beside it.

Cheng Xi called for his two brothers to sit down, Xu Sanlang called out to them, then went to the kitchen to get some water for the two.

The moment Cheng Cai sat down, he impatiently asked, "These few days are good, are you tired, or not? How is Xu Sanlang doing to you, did he bully you? "

Hearing this worried inquiry, Cheng Xi felt a little guilty but also helpless. She replied with a smile, "Fourth Brother, why are you asking so many questions when you came. Take a look, am I doing pretty good?

Cheng Cai sized Cheng Xi up from head to toe, and she seemed to be even more spirited than when she first arrived. Only then did she nod his head in satisfaction, "As long as you're not bad, that's good.

Cheng Xi was afraid that the Fourth Brother would have endless questions and she did have questions to ask them, so she changed the topic and asked the two of them, "Is it about the matter of the Prefecture City that Second Brother is coming to the county?"

Cheng Chen nodded his head and replied, "I received the news you guys sent me, we discussed it with the family, Aunt Wu said that since the wages are so high, I and Fourth Younger Brother will follow along, and she will take care of Father at home, if there's nothing wrong, I can ask Fourth Uncle and the rest to help out, it should not be a problem."

Cheng Xi asked in shock, "All of you are going? There are so many people in the family, can you do it? "

Cheng Chen sighed and replied, "With my family's current situation, I still owe a debt. With this chance, I can't miss it, the only place I can go is Aunt Wu, if you have the time, please help me go back and take a look."

Cheng Xi originally thought that there was a need to keep someone at home, but after hearing that it was already decided, she did not have anymore objections, and asked: "When are you leaving?"

Cheng Cai replied, "Around ten days. Boss Zhao said that we have enough people before we set off, so we are all preparing to go back. We thought that you guys would be in the city, so we came to see how you guys are doing."
