Depressed little landlord

On the day of the second day of junior high school, the daughters-in-law brought their boys and children back to their natal homes early in the morning. Wangshan Village suddenly became more deserted, but just after noon, the daughters who married out also came to the village intermittently, and they had to pass through the gate of Lin’s courtyard every time. In addition, there will always be curious eyes on the Lin family or others.

Xiang Qing stayed until the fifth day of the lunar new year before returning to town.Before leaving, he asked Lin Xuan and the others when Douding planned to go to school, and if he needed his help to make arrangements.

Lin Xuan looked down at Douding, stroked his hair, and shook his head after thinking about it: "Even this year, Xun'er is just four years old, so I don't feel relieved to let him go to town alone, I'd better wait another year or two. "

Xiang Qing also went to see Lin Xun, and agreed with him: "That's fine, now he's only clinging to you and Xu Yang, it might not be easy to go to the town, I'll find a way to get more books when I get back , let’s teach him how to read first.”

"Ah."

After Xu Yang finished explaining the matter, he came over and stood beside the two brothers, "It's so early in the morning, is there anyone in the restaurant?"

"That's right, didn't you say you asked the guys to take leave and go home? Did you say when the door will be open? Now I have something to eat when I go back?" Lin Xuan also asked suddenly.

Xiang Qing smiled brightly, bent down to hug Lin Xun, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I booked the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the Lantern Festival should be over, but I'm afraid that our restaurant is newly opened, and there may already be people waiting. I'm going back now to prepare in advance, and I'm going to check out the charcoal in two days."

"Okay then, be careful yourself, and let the wood guide you when the time comes."

"Hey, of course, if you don't say I'm going to let you go, well, I should go back, in case it's too late and it's not safe for Mu Mu to come back." Xiang Qing shook Douding in his arms to tease him : "Do you want Xun'er to live in the town with your brother for a few days?"

Douding supported his shoulders with his hands, tried to stabilize his body, looked back at his brother and Xu Yang, and shook his head: "Go with brother from now on."

Looking at Xu Yang and the others, Xiang Qing felt a little envious. During these days at the Lin family, the more he got along with Douding, the more he liked this child.

Too bad it doesn't belong to my family.

"Okay, then when you have time, do you want to come to town to see your brother often?"

"Ah."

Xiang Qing rubbed him reluctantly, then handed him over to Xu Yang, and walked outside by herself.

"By the way, don't look at the dried radish and wrap some for me, this is to my liking." After walking two steps, he turned back.

Lin Xuan laughed, "Don't worry, I will pack a copy of everything you have at home and let Xiaoqi and the others move it to the car. If you want to eat after eating, let me know, but there are not many. do something."

"Ha! This is a good one, so I won't be polite. By the way, I remember the egg you made before. It can be eaten at that time. Remember to give it to me to taste it. If it is good, we will eat it." Just sell it in restaurants."

"Why are you being polite about this thing?" Lin Xuan and Xu Yang sent him out together, and said indifferently after hearing the words, but he was also a little surprised that he had such a bold attempt, "Salted eggs? This will take a while, when the time comes If it’s ready to eat, I’ll send it to you, as for whether to sell it or not, I do have this idea, but I haven’t done much so far, let’s talk about it later.”

Xu Yang suddenly interjected at this moment: "I believe in you."

"Yes, I believe in you too." Xiang Qing also echoed, "Xiaoxuan, you have to have confidence in what you make, our family's restaurant will still grow big by relying on your methods."

Lin Xuan scratched his face, and smiled embarrassedly: "You guys have too much confidence in me, don't you? Well, in order to be worthy of your trust, I have to work hard."

"Hey! Then I'll be waiting for you two in the town at any time, and if you need something, ask someone to come to me."

"Okay, if we continue talking, there will be endless opportunities. There will still be opportunities in the future." Xu Yang urged him.

Xiang Qing gave him a sideways look, suddenly smiled, and winked at the two of them, "That's right, the opportunity is coming soon, wouldn't it be a good time for you to meet then?"

Lin Xuan's face became hot, and he cleared his throat and replied, "Welcome, we are also waiting for the day to drink your wedding wine."

Xiang Qing paused for a moment, laughed and got on the donkey cart, and waved to the three of them. Xu Yang, Lin Xuan and the others waited until the donkey cart disappeared around the turn and could no longer be seen, then turned and went home.

"Brother Xiang, won't you come to our house?"

"Come, I just have something to go back to the town, and I'll come again when I'm free, or one day Xun'er misses him, we'll go to town, and then Xun'er will be able to see him again."

"Oh." Douding was relieved when he heard that.

***

After Xiang Qing went back, the house seemed to be a lot deserted, not to mention Lin Xun, even Lin Xuan was not used to it at first.

"It's embarrassing for Xiangqing. At this age, I can still play with Xun'er and the others." Lin Xuan propped his chin and sighed boredly.

"By the way, how old is Xiang Qing? He hasn't married yet, so I thought he had high vision, but seeing his enthusiasm for Qi Ling, could it be that the Qi family is too difficult to ask for a marriage? But old couples and young wives are also quite common. Is there any? But Xiang Qing is not that old, isn't he only in his thirties?"

Xu Yang gave him a strange look, "Who told you that he is in his thirties?"

"Uh! Isn't it?" Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he raised his head suddenly, "Huh? Isn't it? It looks like..."

Xu Yang couldn't help snorting, "He deserves it! Tell him to scrape it off... Heh, maybe you're right, because the Qi family has been slow to agree to the two of them because of his appearance, haha, but It suits his personality."

Lin Xuan was a little confused, but fortunately Xu Yang smiled for a while and kindly resolved his doubts.

"He is two years older than me, but I don't know why he grows that beard. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him again, ha!"

Lin Xuan: ...So Xiang Qing did it himself?

What should I do if I suddenly can't sympathize with him?

"Then Qi Ling didn't ask him to shave?"

"Then I don't know." Xu Yang shook his head, smiled slightly, and showed Lin Xuan what he had been writing before, "This is what I listed, you can see what else needs to be added, In a few days, we will go to the town to buy everything together."

Lin Xuan took it over and took a look, only to find out that it was about the list of items they would use to get married. He had no suggestions on these, so he didn't know what else to add.

So he only briefly scanned it, and then returned the list to Xu Yang, "I don't understand this, why don't you show it to Grandpa Hua, they should understand."

Xu Yang took it over lovingly, pinched his earlobe, and suddenly asked: "Are you feeling better?"

When Lin Xuan came to his senses, he blushed immediately. On this matter, he was still not as frank as an ancient man like Xu Yang.

"Cough! This...well, much better." How many days have passed?Is he that weak?

"That's good." Xu Yang smiled comfortably, looking at his eyes full of doting, "Then I don't worry, I said before that you refused to buy medicine for you, and you didn't give me a check..."

Seeing that he was talking more and more vigorously, Lin Xuan was so anxious that he quickly covered his mouth, or he would say again: "It's okay, I'm fine now! Don't worry."

After speaking, he hurriedly got up, "I'll go to see Xun'er and the others, you can go to Grandpa Hua and the others for advice."

Deng Deng Deng walked out, as if his butt was on fire, but it was almost the same, someone's sight was as hot as a flame.

Xu Yang sat quietly on the spot for a while, then took a breath and stood up, and took the list to the flower housekeeper for advice.

***

Butler Hua read the list, added a few items, and looked at Xu Yang for a while before hesitating to speak.

"Grandpa, is there something wrong?"

"Xu Yang..." Butler Hua paused, and finally sighed, "Oh! I was confused before, and I forgot such an important thing."

Xu Yang's heart sank, and he said calmly: "Grandpa, you can say whatever you want, is there something wrong with me and Xiaoxuan?"

"No, no, you two are fine, yes It's Mrs. Madam."

Xu Yang's expression changed, and then he quickly realized that he was relieved, "Grandpa is talking about the memorial day of the old lady?"

Steward Hua was stunned, looking at Xu Yang's calm expression, he didn't know whether he understood and was happy or felt pity for the two children.

"Well. The date set before is too close. Before, your mother Xu and I were worried about other people's gossip, so we wanted to settle your matter as soon as possible. I forgot about it for a while, so I thought..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yang said: "Let's wait a little longer after getting married. Anyway, the matchmaker has already come before, so it's settled. I don't mind. It's okay to wait a little longer. I can't let others say Xiaoxuan is not filial."

"Okay, good boy, grandpa knows you are a good boy, so the master and wife can feel at ease after handing over the young master to you." Steward Hua's eyes were a little moist, and he was very relieved to see Xu Yang.

Xu Yang smiled, and voted again with a straight expression: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoxuan and the others. By the way, I'm here to tell Xiaoxuan about this, Grandpa has made you worry."

Butler Hua nodded, "As long as you don't think I'm a troublesome old man, the more polite you are, the better."

"No, this family is so happy because of your grandfather. In the future, Xiaoxuan and I will honor you and Mama Xu."

"It's good if you have this kind of heart." Butler Hua's nose was sore, he didn't want to lose his composure in front of the junior, so he hurriedly chased away people, "Go back quickly, lest Xiaoxuan worry about whether I will teach you again later."

Xu Yang didn't poke him, and just left with a promise. When he came back, he found that the two brothers hadn't returned yet, and he didn't look for them either. Taking advantage of the good weather today, he went to the field to check the thawing situation.

When I told Lin Xuan about the matter at night, Lin Xuan didn't say anything, and thought it was good. They all forgot about it before, but he, a son, forgot such an important thing. Forgiving.

Although the people in the village basically knew the date they had set before, they did not tell them clearly in person, and it would be fine if they explained it again. none of other people's business.

"They can talk as much as they like. Anyway, they won't lose a piece of meat." Lin Xuan was very open-minded, anyway, they lived their lives behind closed doors, and didn't need to look at other people's faces.

But Xu Yang still blamed himself, "It's all because I wasn't thoughtful enough, which caused you to be wronged."

Lin Xuan was a little helpless, but he also knew that he cared about them, and was moved.

"Okay, I, Lin Xuan, am not such a fragile person, and I won't let anyone bully Xun'er again. Adding you in the future will definitely protect him, can't I?"

"certainly!"

"That's all right. You have nothing to worry about. Besides, it's not that we won't end the knot, it's just a little later. Let's put the list of gifts in advance. Let's think about the festival first."

"it is good!"
