Seeing that the person looked familiar, Chen Xing took a few more glances, but he still didn't remember who that person was.

Maybe it was because the curiosity and doubt in Chen Xing's eyes were too obvious. The man who was observing what other people bought suddenly raised his head to look in Chen Xing's direction, and said with a smile, "What is the boss looking at?"

Chen Xing was startled, subconsciously withdrew his gaze, looked away with guilt, and whispered: "It's nothing."

But the man seemed to have seen through Chen Xing's inner thoughts, stroked his short beard, showed a kind smile, and said softly: "Boss, don't panic, I'm just asking casually, if it's not convenient for you to say , let’s just say it.”

Hearing his words, Chen Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, turned his head again, and asked him with his usual attitude towards the guest: "What does the guest want to eat? "

The man looked at the things on the table, then looked at Chen Xing who was smiling gently in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I heard from my colleagues that your cold noodles and cold noodle are good here, give me a mixed one, I want another mung bean soup."

"Okay." Chen Xing agreed, took his money, and asked Qiu Jiu who was next to him to call him something.

When Chen Xing handed the bowl to Qiu Jiu, something flashed in his mind, 'Colleague? ', he immediately remembered that this person was the Master Xu he met when he went to see people in the cell that day!

Chen Xing suddenly raised his head to look at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, and asked with a look of surprise, "Are you Master Xu?"

Seeing Chen Xing's surprised look, Master Xu smiled a little more on his serious face, and said with a little teasing: "The little boss recognized Xu?"

When he said this, Chen Xing felt more and more embarrassed. Thinking of Master Xu coming to his booth, not only did he not recognize him, but he also made him stand here for so long, so he quickly found a seat for him to sit down. , and then wanted to return the money he had just received.

Master Xu stretched out his hand, and blocked Chen Xing back with four or two jins. Under his embarrassing gaze, he smiled gently, "Xu is here to eat, so there is no reason not to give money. If you go down If it’s like this again, why would Xu dare to eat it? I dare to come if you accept it!”

Listening to what he said, Chen Xing always felt that it was weird, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.In the past, he was only responsible for cooking, and other things were handled by special personnel. After he came here, he had to collect money and cook, and he was still in the learning stage of human relations.

So, after Master Xu declined Chen Xing's proposal, he still looked at him with a troubled face, wondering: "But, I still want to treat you to a meal, after all, the compensation for the stall last time was also dependent You guys, I just got it back. A meal is not worth much, so it can make me feel more at ease. "

Master Xu looked into Chen Xing's clear eyes, and knew that his words were from the heart, and he was not hypocritical for politeness like others, so the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"These things are all ordered by the county magistrate, and we are only following orders. If the little boss wants to thank, he should go to the county magistrate. Our current county magistrate is a good official who loves the people like a son!"

What Master Xu didn't say was that if the magistrate of the county hadn't opened his mouth, Chen Xing wouldn't have said that he would get the money so soon, and he wouldn't even say whether he would have the money. Oil and water.

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he never thought that a commoner like him could attract the attention of the magistrate.

Just as Chen Xing was in a daze, Qiu Jiu had already brought up the two things Master Xu wanted and put them on his desk.

Master Xu looked at the cold noodles with red oil and hot sauce in front of him, which seemed to whet his appetite, and thought to himself that this trip was not in vain, and at least he could have a good job when he returned.As for the others, he glanced at Chen Xing, who was struggling in front of him, as well as Qiu Jiu, who was busy doing things with quick hands and feet, so he could only leave it to the magistrate to make his own judgment.

Chen Xing finished struggling, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, looking at Master Xu who hesitated to speak.However, Master Xu waved his hand at him, and said politely: "Okay, little boss, hurry up and do your work! I'll leave after eating."

Chen Xing had no choice but to leave.

The moment Chen Xing turned around, Master Xu suddenly stopped him again, and in his inexplicable eyes, he said lightly: "I heard that the booth of the little boss was not peaceful a few days ago? If you meet again next time For this kind of thing, the small boss can go to the yamen for help, and we all welcome it."

Chen Xing looked at him and nodded hesitantly.When he returned to the platform and started to work again, he felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell what was wrong there for a while.

It wasn't until he sent Master Xu away and returned to the stall after selling things that Chen Xing suddenly figured out that something was wrong, and yelled in surprise, "Ah! I know something is wrong!".

His sudden utterance startled Qiu Jiu who was next to him. Seeing him in shock, he blinked his eyes twice, and asked suspiciously, "Chen Xing, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xing's expression was extraordinarily serious at this time, and even his voice was a bit serious, "Do you think that the government here is too good?"

Qiu Jiu, who originally thought that Chen Xing was going to say something, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this, and after panting, he said, "Hey, I thought it was something. It turned out that it was just this matter, maybe it's here The official errands are more enthusiastic!"

Chen Xing touched his chin with one hand, his eyes were full of confusion, "However, I still feel that they pay too much attention to my small stall, and I always feel that it's weird there! But I'm a small ordinary person, and there's nothing wrong with it." Something worthy of their concern!"

Qiu Jiu carefully looked at Chen Xing's face, hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you hit it off with them, and what you make suits their taste, so they are so polite to you!"

Chen Xing thought this was the most plausible reason, but he still felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't find anything wrong there, so he looked at Qiu Jiu and asked again: "Really?"

Facing Chen Xing's suspicious gaze, Qiu Jiu nodded frantically, hoping that he could believe his own words, "Yes, otherwise it could be because of something. After all, we are poor, we don't know people, and we don't have much foundation. What else is there for others to gain? It may be that the county magistrate is too kind, so he pays special attention to the vulnerable groups."

Chen Xing looked at his sincere and serious look, and seemed to think that what he said made sense. He probably thought too much, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Well, you are right."

Seeing the doubts on Chen Xing's face, Qiu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them returned to Gu's mansion and had dinner at night, Chen Xing still couldn't hold back and told Gu Lang what happened today, and finally added a sentence when he took the soup that Gu Lang served him,

"I think the county magistrate is really a good person, and he is also a good official. The lives of the people here will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words, looked up and saw Chen Xing's serious face, he responded softly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as long as Chen Xing is happy, nothing extra is fine important.

After receiving Gu Lang's response, Chen Xing talked to him about what happened during the day, most of them were trivial things, like the children in that family clamoring for food, but their stomachs were fragile, and his parents coaxed him not to eat, Little things like that.

But Gu Lang listened very seriously, his eyes looked at Chen Xing's face that became brighter because of his happiness, and there was always a faint smile on his face.

Since Gu Lang left home, it has been many years since he has experienced such an ordinary fireworks. Even if it is trivial, even if it is insignificant, he still misses it very much.Maybe he didn't realize what he missed before, and it wasn't until now that he had such a person that he had some idea of ​​home.

Chen Xing spoke excitedly, and Gu Lang next to him occasionally responded with a few words, and then he had the desire to continue talking.Occasionally, when there is a soft 'meow' from his feet, he will stop and grab a piece of fish and pass it to the little guy who has finished eating at his feet.

Gu Lang watched Chen Xing lower his head to feed the cat, with a gentle smile on his face all the time, and suddenly felt that it would be good if he could live like this forever.

Chen Xing raised his head and met Gu Lang, who was as gentle as before, with a slightly different gaze.For some reason, when he caught that sight, his face slowly turned red.

Even under the not-so-bright candlelight, Chen Xing's blushing was still obvious, and Gu Lang asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing immediately came back to his senses, and shook his head quickly, refusing to reveal his small thoughts, "I'm fine."

Looking at Chen Xing's dodging eyes, Gu Lang was silent for a while without further questioning, and responded softly, "Well, but if there is anything, you can just tell me."

"I know."

Hearing Gu Lang's soft reassurance, Chen Xing didn't know why he suddenly remembered the day not long ago. Compared with the little thought that arose, the little secret of wanting to be with Gu Lang, his face turned redder in an instant. .He felt that it was good that Gu Lang didn't know, otherwise he would definitely laugh at himself.

Gu Lang stared at Chen Xing's constantly changing expression, as if he was confirming something, his eyes flickered, then gradually turned deep.

That night, Chen Xing had a dream. The dream was that he was coerced and lured into the sedan chair by Mrs. Chen not long after he arrived here.It's just that this time is different from the last time, he didn't walk through the scene alone, but someone led him into the bridal chamber together, and when he got to the room, what he saw was the Gu who was smiling at him in a happy attire. Lang.

Gu Lang's face was a little more red than usual because of the care of Xifu, and he looked even more handsome and unparalleled.He looked at Chen Xing with a smile, parted his thin lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Husband, let me serve you to rest!"

Then, Chen Xing woke up with fright. He stared at the top of the bed, which was somewhat silhouetted in the hazy night, with round eyes.Then quietly retracted her body slowly into the thin quilt, trying to hide herself blushing.

How could he have such a dream?Still such a shameful dream!

If it wasn't too late now, Chen Xing would have run out and yelled twice, but he couldn't.So, he could only twist himself into a ball under the quilt, wondering why he had such a dream all night!

When she woke up the next day, Qiu Jiu was still taken aback by his appearance.

Qiu Jiu looked at the blue eyes of Chen Xing, and asked cautiously: "Chen Xing, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

Chen Xing, who didn't sleep well, just glanced at him, shook his head, and then went to the kitchen like a ghost.

Qiu Jiu watched Chen Xing's footsteps seem to be floating, shook the goosebumps all over his body, and immediately followed. He had to watch Chen Xing a little bit to avoid any accidents, then he really couldn't bear it. gone.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Chen Xing recovered a little bit of energy, and then, under Gu Lang's curious eyes, he left Gu's mansion with a guilty conscience.

Standing at the door, Gu Lang recalled the way Chen Xing looked at him when he left, smiled softly, closed the door and went back to the house.

When calm returned to the door of Gu's house, the few people who were hiding not far away glanced at each other and moved towards the remote back door.
