Cross-country exchange

Once the wedding was finalized, Grandma Xia's life seemed somewhat leisurely.His leisure is not manifested in lying on the bed to recuperate, but in walking around the village with a limp on a cane.On the first day of wandering around, everyone in the village knew that he fell because he was working in a shop, and his own boy replaced him to help in the county.After wandering around for two days, everyone in the village knew that Xie Yun was more than four months pregnant and had a little boy in her stomach.After wandering around for the third day, the good news that Xia Chun was going to get married next month spread all over the place.

A few people in the family first advised Grandma Xia not to run around when her leg was injured, but they persuaded them countless times, and no one could persuade her.

Xie Yun was helpless, so he deliberately chose a time at noon to accompany Aunt Xia to go around the village. After a few times with him, he couldn't bear it anymore. The sun outside was too harsh, and Xie Yun's skin was a little sensitive. It's red.

Aunt Xia loves him dearly, plus he is getting heavier and heavier, and he is not easy to walk. He is so small and runs around with a big belly. Aunt Xia is frightened when he sees it. How can he rest assured that he follows her around? .

"Be good, I won't go out, you don't need to accompany me specially."

Hearing what he said, Xie Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that sometimes Brother Xia's temper was exactly the same as Grandma's stubborn temper.

Xia Yu, who was shot while lying down for no reason, sneezed hard.

Xia Dong held back his laughter, and discussed with Xia Lei, "Don't look at our grandma's foot being injured, but she walked with her head held high and her chest held high."

Xia Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a clear face, "That's right, you don't even think about how much grandma has been pissed off by them on weekdays, but these days you are all proud."

After all, it was their little brother who was the most up-to-date.

On Xia Yu's side, troubles continued. The chef didn't show up, and he was busy in the restaurant.Unfortunately, his second brother will get married next month.

All the things were piled up, and Xia Yu was still thinking about Xie Yun in Hexi Village.

On this day, when Xia Yu was thinking about whether to borrow a chef from Mr. Feng's house first, Xia Zhi brought someone back.

Taking a quick look, this person is a bit embarrassed, his clothes are torn in several places, his face is unkempt, except for a pair of dark and bright eyes.Looking at it again, the Xia family took a deep breath. Isn't this Cao Buing, the eldest son of the Cao family?

Xia Chun couldn't wait to pull Xia Zhi aside and said, "Why did you bring him here?"

Xia Zhi looked embarrassed, and opened his mouth, "I think he is pitiful. He helps others with hard work over there, and is often bullied. Besides, we are all from the same village. It shouldn't be... don't worry if you help."

Xia Chun twisted Xia Zhi severely, and said in a tone of hating iron and steel, "You are kind, you forgot what their family did, back then..."

While whispering here, Xia Yu had already poured a glass of water for someone with a kettle.

"It's hot, sit down and drink some herbal tea."

Cao Bing glanced at him, but didn't see any sarcasm in his eyes, then took another look at Xia Zhi, and then sat down and said, "I heard that your family is hiring a chef, if possible, please let me try .”

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot outside.This is also the most free time for Xia's Local Restaurant.

Xia Yu didn't beat around the bush, he went straight to the kitchen, prepared some ingredients, and said, "It's all right, come with me."

Xia Qiu wanted to stop him, but Luo Liang quickly grabbed him and dragged him aside, and the two quarreled again.

No one had forgotten how disgusting the Cao family had done to their little brother and Xie Yun.

On the contrary, Xia Yu, as if he had never remembered it, said to the eldest son of the Cao family, as he treated ordinary people, "You can cook your best dish. If I say yes, you will can stay here."

Cao Bing asked, "May I ask what your criteria are for judging?"

Xia Yu said, "I am the standard. If I say you pass it, it's fine. If I say you don't pass it, it means you can't."

Cao Bing frowned slightly after hearing this, but started to attack without saying a word of rebuttal.Xia Yu took a step back and stood in a corner of the kitchen watching quietly.

The kitchen was very peaceful, but outside the kitchen, Xia Chunxiaqiu and the others were poking their heads to watch. Unfortunately, the kitchen door was closed. Even if they saw the movement inside, they didn't know what their little brother said to that person.

Xia Qiu was a little annoyed, turned around and directed his anger at Xia Zhidao, "Be honest, why are you with this person?"

Xia Zhi had already been taught a lesson by Xia Chun just now, and now seeing Xia Qiu who is equally hot-tempered, he immediately shrank his head back into his neck like a quail.

"Tell me quickly, or I will send you home today, and see how grandma will treat you if she finds out." Xia Chun threatened from the side.

They all knew very well how much the Xia family's grandma hated the Cao family.If it weren't for Cao Bingchen's poaching after Xia Yu's engagement, their brother Xia Bing wouldn't have had to use such an unappealable way to get Xie's marriage.Now that brother Xia Bing has children, his life is still manageable, but that doesn't mean that their family has forgiven what the Cao family has done.

What's more, the Cao family did not repay their grievances with kindness. The second brother-in-law of their family even pushed Xie Yun into the river, and that person got retribution afterwards. This does not mean that they have to forgive what the Cao family has done.

When Xia Zhi heard that they were going to send him back, he was frightened and immediately said, "Actually, when I went out to repair a kitchen knife last time, I met some bad guys, and then the Cao family saved me."

Repairing a kitchen knife?

It was just after the new year, and it was already several months ago.

"Xiao Wu, you are enough. You have kept it from us for so long." Xia Qiu poked his forehead twice fiercely with his fingers, "You are keeping it tight, so why don't you keep it from now? Anyway, we didn't People know."

Xia Zhi's temperament can be described as eccentric, and he doesn't say much on weekdays, but does a lot of work.But often a person is muffled and doesn't know what's going on in his head.

No, this time he did something that surprised them. It was a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound. , so I just want to help him once."

Xia Qiu almost laughed angrily, "Did you forget how their family treated our family?"

Xia Chun also wanted to beat up his younger brother, but he held back, "Even if we don't care about it, you have thought about our grandma and daddy. They have already fallen out with the Cao family. Be a good person here, and when the time comes They have to do it again."

Xia Zhi already knew that they disagreed, and had guessed what would happen, but he didn't expect the family's reaction to be so great.

"Didn't Grandma say that, we learned about the kindness report."

Xia Qiu and Xia Chun: "..."

Luo Liang couldn't bear to watch, even though it was their Xia family's business.But at any rate, he and Xia Yu also wore a pair of trousers, and they knew something about the Cao family and the Xia family, "I said second brother, third brother, can I intervene?"

Xia Qiu said directly angrily, "The three of us are discussing things here, why don't you interrupt, go away."

Xia Chun said, "Tell me, we are listening."

Luo Liang ignored Xia Qiu and said, "Actually, to be honest, I also hate the members of the Cao family, especially the second son of the Cao family, Cao Bingchen."

This sentence won everyone's hearts. They all hated Cao Bingchen very much, he was so disrespectful.

"However..." Luo Liang turned around and said, "Although Cao Bingchen is a jerk, I heard from my father that the eldest son of the Cao family is a person of good character, because he has been staying in the county and has not participated in much. Among the previous things, the most important thing is that he helped Fifth Brother once, as the saying goes, if others have done something wrong to us, we can't be as bastards as them."

Xia Qiu thought about this carefully, and there was no place to get angry if she wanted to get angry, and she couldn't pick any faults.

They all understood the meaning of the words.

Xia Chun nodded and said, "Xiao Liangzi is right, the dog bit us, we can't turn around and bite the dog again."

Otherwise, who would they be, not as good as pigs and dogs?

Xia Chun turned to Xia Zhi and said, "Although he helped you once, but you brought him to our restaurant is equivalent to helping him once. You can't talk about that again in the future, you know?"

Xia Zhi nodded, his face was silent.

Xia Qiu and Xia Chun thought that their friendship with the Cao family had come to an end.Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Xia Yu opened the kitchen door, came out with a bowl of delicious dishes, and announced, "I want to tell everyone that I have officially invited Cao Peng to be one of the chefs of our Xia's Local Restaurant. "

The Xia family, including Luo Liang, all looked at Xia Yu in a daze, with disbelief on their faces.

Even Cao Buing behind him was very surprised. He thought Xia Yu would use this to kick him out, and he was even mentally prepared.

Xia Chun froze for a long time before finding his own voice, "Little brother, why is this?"

Xia Yu didn't explain much, "He meets my requirements, so he is temporarily hired as the head chef of our local restaurant for a three-month term. If he performs well, he will continue to be appointed."

This local restaurant is equivalent to Xia Yu's property, and he has the absolute right to rule on everything in it.

Xia Chun and Xia Qiu respect Xia Yu's decision, but they still can't change their doubts.

Xia Yu understood their concerns, so he pushed out the pot of vegetables and said, "Try it first."

Xia Qiu was so angry that he ran out, Xia Yu motioned to Luo Liang with his eyes.Luo Liang had no choice but to chase after him.

Xia Zhi was a little happy, but it wasn't too obvious on his face.

Xia Chun, who was present, picked up the chopsticks and tried that dish. He chewed for a long time, and finally put down the chopsticks and went upstairs.

Afterwards, no one took the initiative to ask Xia Yu why.

Because after three days of the handover, Xia Yu took the time to go back to Xia's house and took the initiative to talk about it with Grandma Xia.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Xia didn't lose her temper after hearing this, and just put down her chopsticks and sat quietly for a long time.Father Xia didn't express much opinion either.

The Xia family grandma has been back to the village for so long, and she has heard more or less news from the Cao family.Cao's eldest son has been working outside, and he may not come back once a month.The second son of the Cao family ran away from home a long time ago, and his whereabouts are unknown.As for Li Mo, after falling into the water with Xie Yun that time, he returned to their Li family after a serious illness.

Cao Jingtian and his wife and a young son were left in the Cao family compound.

Not to mention that the Cao family's reputation has plummeted, even business in the county cannot be done.Cao Jingtian has been sick from years ago to now, and it has been intermittent, and he seems to be ten years old.

When Xie Yun's incident happened, Xia's grandma wanted to go to Cao's house to beat Li Mo up, but after knowing Li Mo's situation in Cao's house, her desire for revenge was not so strong. Fortunately, he Apart from contracting the wind and cold, Xie Yun didn't suffer much from the root cause of the disease.

Later, Li Mo got sick and left Cao's house.Aunt Xia didn't want to worry about what he did before.

After all, in Grandma Xia's opinion, if a brother falls into his own grandma's house, he will lose all face, and his life will be over.

Therefore, when she heard that her own boy rescued the eldest son of the Cao family, Grandma Xia was in a very delicate mood.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Seeing that they all put down their chopsticks, Xia Yu also put down their chopsticks, and had to explain, "Grandma, Dad, I always thought that the bad things about the Cao family were not worth our grudges for so long. What's more, their parents didn't have any children. Cao Bingchen is such a mess. Later, I also heard from the fifth brother that Cao Peng saved him once, and based on this alone, I think I will give him another chance." What's more, Cao Peng's cooking skills are also quite good.

The Xia family's grandma nodded, "You did a good job in this matter. Let's not say that our family is helping people in need, and we can't learn from others to add insult to injury. It's too unkind."

Aunt Xia also praised, "From now on, you can make your own decisions about the restaurant. Your grandma and I are getting old, so it's time to enjoy some blessings."

It was much easier for the family to spread the matter out on the table.

That night, Xie Yun knew that Xia Yu did not allow the white monkey to sleep in the same room, so he moved the white monkey's bed outside.This is also the range that the Xia family's grandma and the others can accept.

Some people in the village said that for a pregnant brother-in-law, furry creatures are not allowed in the house.Unfortunately, white monkeys often lose their hair.There are a lot of white hairs on the ground, and Grandma saw it when cleaning.Grandma was afraid that there would be bugs on the white monkey. On the first day she came back, seeing Xie Yun spoiling it so much, she immediately tied the white monkey with a rope and locked it at the door of the house.Who would have thought that the white monkey was smart and didn't struggle at all when it was tied up.When Grandma Xia went to sleep, she untied herself from the rope, and then ran under Xie Yun's bed and fell asleep.The next day, of course, there was another period of turmoil.

Later, Grandma Xia also had no choice, so she discussed this matter with Xie Yun.Xie Yun didn't want to embarrass the old man, so he moved the white monkey's nest to the outside room, and added marinated meat as a bribe every day, so the white monkey agreed.

Xia Yu listened, shook his head with a smile, stayed at home all night, and rushed back to the county the next afternoon.

After that, it didn't take long for Xia Chun to get married.

Xia Chun only found out about it three days before they got married. At that time, he thought Xia Yu was joking with him.However, Xia Yu sent him back to Hexi Village that day.

The dowry gift for his marriage was prepared at home, as well as many festive things.No matter how slow Xia Chun's reaction is, he should know that what Xia Yu said about getting married is true. Moreover, his younger brother has never been a person who likes to make jokes.

When Grandma Xia gave him the new wedding dress, Xia Chun was dumbfounded on the spot.

"You silly brother, watch what grandma is doing, go and try."

Xia Chun was indescribably moved. When Brother Xia Bing got married, he only wore a big red robe, which was barely a wedding dress. .Now that he is married, Grandma actually made him a wedding dress herself.

Xia Chun wiped the corners of her eyes and put on new clothes happily.

Everyone gathered in a room, waiting for their second brother to wear his wedding dress.

Xie Yun also joined in the fun, but Xia Yu was always by his side because he was afraid that he would bump into each other.Seeing him restless with his big belly, he couldn't help but find it funny.

"Are you envious? Brother Xia, why don't you arrange a make-up wedding for you?" Xia Yu still remembered Xie Yun wearing a red hijab and being taken home by himself. At that time, he had never thought about having a future with this person.It's just that I didn't expect that now I have children.

Xie Yun's eyes sparkled, "Brother Xia, you're cheating on me again."

Xia Yu tapped his little nose, "No, there will be such a day."

Now is not the time, at least until all his older brothers are married, he can rest assured.

Xie Yun was not annoyed, he took Xia Yu's hand and said, "As long as brother Xia is always by my side, even if I don't make up the wedding, I will be very happy."

"Ah."

On the day of the wedding, there was another post posted at the door of Xia's Local Restaurant - The owner is happy and closed for three days.

The Chen family carried all the belongings hired into the house, and there were only three members of Chen Jinsuo's family, not too many people.On the contrary, it was Xia's house, the house was full.

"You have to treat my second brother well, otherwise our Xia family won't let you go." Xia Qiu thought he was the oldest in this family, so he couldn't help but hold Chen Jinsuo and talk about it.

Chen Jinsuo met many members of the Xia family early in the morning, and it was almost impossible to tell which one was which. He obediently and obediently nodded in agreement with whoever pulled him to talk, and took over the new brother from this group of relatives and friends safely. husband.

Xia Chun felt a little unbelievable until he got on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair took him, left Xia's house, and walked towards Chen's house staggeringly.

Aunt Xia drank a little wine that day and got very drunk, she kept muttering "big brother" and "second brother" in her mouth.

Brother Xia Bing wanted to bring Toto, Toto was only a few months old, and he couldn't leave his grandma for a while, and couldn't bring him out, so he missed Xia Chun's wedding day.

Xia Qiu, on the other hand, seemed to understand that there were really only a few of them left in the family, and was filled with emotion for a moment, and drank a little wine.

After one big and one young got drunk, they pulled each other, not knowing what to say.

Xia Yu sent Xie Yun back to the house early, and he did not see such a festive scene. The two fell asleep with their foreheads touching, and the room was warm.

After Grandma Xia got drunk and sobered up, she stared at Xia Qiu for a long time, rubbed her temples and said, "Third brother, your eldest brother and second brother are both married, and it's your turn in our family next."

Xia Qiu also just sobered up, and when she heard what Grandma Xia said, she immediately shivered.

What about getting married? He wasn't ready yet.

"Grandma, I'll go see if breakfast is ready outside." After finishing speaking, he slipped away, and after that, Xia Qiu avoided Grandma Xia, hoping that he would forget about such a thing.

"Little brother, I don't think there is anyone in the local restaurant in our county. It's not appropriate. I'd better go to the store first, and you can talk to grandma."

Xia Qiu left in a hurry, Xia Yu was naturally worried.He didn't know the little things in Xia Qiu's heart, so he went to find Luo Liang next door, and begged him to go to the county to see his third brother early.

Many years later, Xia Yu stroked his forehead, and always felt that he was really stupid at the time. This is not taking care of his third brother, it is clear that he is sending sheep to the tiger's mouth.

But it will be too late to regret it, and many things are done.

The signboard information of Xia's Local Restaurant has never been broken.Because after Xia Yu recruited Cao Peng, he never met the right person again.

Xia Qiu thought that if he could hide for a while, he would be fine.Unexpectedly, Grandma Xia had already gone around the village to find suitable candidates for him, and the age was controlled at the stage of one to ten years older than him.There was no suitable candidate in Hexi Village, so Aunt Xia asked the next village.Anyway, the most urgent task at the moment, Grandma Xia's most urgent task is to find a suitable partner for Xia Qiu.

But Xia Qiu didn't know about it, he was still in the process of bickering with Luo Liang every day.

As for Xia Zhi, Xia Yu found that he was closer to Cao Buing because his second brother Xia Chun married into the Chen family, and it was also some distance away from the county town. Xia Yu didn't urge him to come here to help because he considered his life after marriage.But he didn't think too much about it.

Therefore, the local restaurant is still extremely busy every day, and there is always a shortage of people.After a whole day, everyone is very tired.However, he never complained of suffering, and Xia Yu was very pleased about this.

However, he did not expect that after a few months, he would be able to see this pair of brothers again, Qin Shu and Qin Chang.

He was washing vegetables in the kitchen and preparing the dishes for the evening.In the afternoon, if there is nothing important, the people in the local restaurant will go upstairs to have a rest.After all, they are all doing physical work, and everyone cherishes the time to rest.

It just so happened that everyone was resting upstairs.

Downstairs in the local restaurant, only Xia Yu and Cao Bing were there.

"Are you still recruiting here?"

As soon as Xia Yu turned around, he saw a familiar face.The two brothers Qin Shu and Qin Chang were surprised and just about to speak.Xia Yu interrupted them first, "Do you want to apply for the chef position?"

Qin Shu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm here to apply for a small worker. As for my brother, he's here to apply for the position of chef. I don't know if you can still recruit people."

Xia Yu handed over the kitchen to Cao Bing, closed the kitchen door, invited them to sit down in the lobby, and poured them a cup of tea.

"Trick, but it also depends on your own abilities."
