It was already noon. Yan Xia was drinking thick lean meat and egg porridge and eating stir-fried vegetables. She didn't know whether she was having breakfast or lunch.

But she ate all the food on the table.

She worked hard all night yesterday and was starving.

"Shopkeeper Yan, are you having dinner? It seems I'm a little late. I wanted to ask you to have lunch with me. In this way, I'll be the host tonight, so I'll treat you to a favor and have dinner with me."

As soon as I put down the empty bowls and chopsticks, Deng Qiuzhi came.

"Oh, I was so tired the past two days. I had a rare free time last night, so I had a good sleep. By the way, Bi Zhong is there. I haven't seen him until I got up. Baodong, have Bi Zhong woke up?"

When Yan Xia saw Deng Qiuzhi, she remembered that Deng Bizhong was still living in her house, and she felt so sleepy.

"Master, I forgot to tell you that Mr. Deng left early this morning, saying he was going back to school. He asked me to say goodbye to you and said that he would wait until he comes back years ago to wish the master New Year's greetings."

Baodong's face turned pale.

The master wanted to take a bath in the morning, so she boiled the water and went to serve him. However, Baoqiu was so frightened that she forgot about it.

"What? Brother Deng, what's going on? Why is my eldest nephew leaving right after he comes back?"

Yan Xia looked at Deng Qiuzhi doubtfully.

"It's okay, hiss - I asked him to go back early. You also know that those people in the Wang family are like mad dogs. In the past, I tolerated them again and again for the sake of Bizhong. It would be better for Bizhong to go back earlier to save money. Someone from the Wang family came to him. It just so happened that he was going to die early next year. He couldn't study here. Hiss - I drove him away. I didn't care about him. Give me some face tonight and let me have a good time. Thank you."

Deng Qiuzhi's face was still injured, with bruises on his cheekbones. When he spoke, his cheek pulled at the injured area, which made him inhale.

"Okay, I won't go back until the day after tomorrow anyway. I have plenty of time in these two days. What are you going to do with the Wang family? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. If they cause this kind of thing again, I'm afraid I won't have time to come all the way to save them. You, I won’t be able to come back for at least two months this time. My daughter-in-law needs me exactly when she needs me, and I can’t travel far away in the short term.”

Yan Xia didn't want to ask about his personal affairs.

But if there is one, there are two, then there are three, that is not soft-hearted, it is stupidity.

If Deng Qiuzhi still wants to forgive the Wang family and similar things happen in the future, affecting the reputation of the shop, she will consider terminating cooperation with Deng Qiuzhi.

"Don't worry, I will solve them and won't affect you again. Thank you very much this time. I already know about the gift you gave Mrs. Xu. It cost you money. Please accept these two banknotes." I know it's not enough. When I make enough money, I will give you another thousand taels. You saved me, and I can't repay you. If you let me pay you back again, then I won't even know it. Put it somewhere."

Deng Qiuzhi took out two banknotes from his pocket, brand new ones.

When he saw that it had just been cashed out from the bank, he put the banknote on the stone table in front of Yan Xia.

He bowed his waist and said thanks.

"Sit down, you're not tired after standing around all the time. I'll accept the banknote. After all, brothers have to settle accounts. I'm not a saint. I can't do anything for free. I know you don't want to owe money." I have too many people. I am helping you this time, partly because I treat you as a good friend, and partly because I am afraid of affecting the reputation of Yan’s pastry shop, so you don’t have to be like this, let alone be cautious. From now on, we will get along with each other as before, and the rest I don’t have to pay a thousand taels, at least I get the benefit, after all, I got married to Xuzhixian’s mother, and Xuzhixian is a well-known filial son, haha, it’s a blessing in disguise.”

Yan Xia put away the banknotes.

Smiling calmly.

Both banknotes were in denominations of one thousand taels.

A total of two thousand taels.

"I have so many words of thanks that I don't know how to express them. In the future, Shopkeeper Yan, if you need me to do anything, please tell me and I will help you without any hesitation! I will definitely give you the money. Thousand taels is not a decimal, please don’t refuse, I..."

Deng Qiuzhi's attitude was sincere. He put away his smile and spoke seriously, but his words were interrupted by Yan Xia.

"Okay, we are all friends, no need to be so polite. If I ask you for help with something, I will definitely tell you. Can I still hold it in? After knowing each other for so long, you still don't understand me? I am the one who suffers. Okay? Let’s not talk about this anymore. Since Bizhong is going to die early next year, you should buy a good house as soon as possible. Otherwise, where will he live when he comes back years ago? The small room in the backyard of your shop cannot accommodate a third person. .

You should work hard from now on, earn more money, buy a house, and save some money for your eldest nephew to marry a wife. If he really succeeds one day, you will still need money to prepare a banquet, right? At least get a three-day living table, so don't think about giving me money. If I say you don't want it, don't. I'm not short of one thousand taels. Besides, you already gave me two thousand taels. I didn't help you in the first place. Please repay me and stop talking about it. I don’t want the two thousand more if you talk about it. "

Yan Xia pretended to take out the banknote.

He was stopped by Deng Qiuzhi.

"No, no, no, no, I won't mention it anymore. Just put the banknote away. In this way, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. Thank you, shopkeeper Yan, for saving your life."

Deng Qiuzhi picked up the teapot and poured tea into his and Yan Xia's cups, then stood up. He bent down, held the teacup with both hands, and stretched his arms forward.

"Ding--"

The sound of the clinking cups is like wind chimes, crisp and pleasant.

This tea set is made of mutton-fat jade.

Too expensive.

The teapot and teacup are all white.

If you throw it in the snow, you may not be able to find it until the snow melts.

"Okay, I've finished the tea and I'll take the check. I have something to do in the afternoon. Let's talk in detail in the evening. You go back to the shop first. You haven't been here these days, and I don't know how Xinbao is running the shop by himself. That’s it.”

"Okay, I'll take my leave first. Thank you, shopkeeper Yan. See you in the evening."

Deng Qiuzhi put down his cup and left after speaking.

He just turned around.

The system's voice sounded in Yan Xia's mind.

[Target person detected]

[Name: Deng Qiuzhi]

[Age: 36 years old]

【Favourability: 100】

[Congratulations to the host for getting 100 points, which has arrived in your account. 】

[Current account point balance 100]

Yan Xia listened to the mechanical sound, looked at Deng Qiuzhi's back, raised the corners of his lips, and slowly drank the tea in the cup.

Unexpected gains always make people happy~

"Baodong, I will go out for a walk and come back after dinner in the evening, so you don't have to cook my food tonight. You can eat it by yourself."

"Yes, Master, please walk slowly and be careful on the road. I asked Qian Shan to guard the door."

After Yan Xia ordered Baodong, he left through the back door.

When you walk to the street, you can see many official patrols. Occasionally, if you see a wretched-looking man, you will stop him and check his identity.
