Chapter 45
An Lian stared dumbfounded at Wan Chu'er, who was laughing and talking, and was speechless. He didn't expect this girl to have such a talkative side.

Bai Zhixi laments that her daughter is better at doing business than she is.

After sending the driver away, the three of them closed the courtyard door and began to pack their things.

Wan Chu'er tidied up the things of the mother and daughter in the room, while Bai Zhixi placed the pots and jars for pickles, and An Lian helped to find a corner in the yard to build an earthen stove, which was convenient for cooking, making pickles and so on.

At noon, Bai Zhixi wanted to cook, but Wan Chu'er looked at the mess in the yard, the stove was still wet and couldn't light the fire, so she simply suggested going out to eat.

Bai Zhixi looked at An Lian, who was covered in dirt from the work, and felt that it was time to go out and treat him to a meal.

An Lian was afraid of burdening Bai Zhixi's mother and daughter, so he didn't even wash his hands, and said he wanted to go back.

Wan Chuer dispelled his idea of ​​leaving with one sentence, Wan Chuer said: "Mr. An, if you are like this, don't come to our house in the future, and save my mother and I from being told that you only order people to work. , I am too embarrassed to learn martial arts from you again."

This looked like a clean break, An Lian was so frightened that he didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to take a step towards the gate, so he just looked at Bai Zhixi.

Bai Zhixi smiled and said, "Don't be polite to us."

It happened that their new home was very close to Wu's noodle shop, so the three of them tidied up a bit, locked the courtyard door, and went to Wu's noodle shop.

The business of Wu's noodle restaurant was booming. After the three of them went in, there was no vacant seat for the three of them. It was the proprietress who greeted her regular customers to make room for the three of them.

The proprietress asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"

An Lian looked at Bai Zhixi, Bai Zhixi looked at Wan Chuer, and Wan Chuer saw that these two were counting on him, so he could only smile and said to the proprietress: "The proprietress, give us a bowl of your signature noodles, and another bowl." Here comes a pickled cucumber that goes well with the noodles."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress laughed, and raised her voice and said, "Come here for noodles, if you don't come with pickles, it's nothing."

An Lian said in a rare and clever way: "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero, if you don't eat pickles and noodles!"

Boss Wu happened to come out to deliver noodles to the guests. Seeing that it was Wan Chuer and the others, he immediately said, "I don't eat noodles with pickles. This sentence is right. People from Wutong County can't live without pickles when we eat. Bai's pickles are a must."

The interaction of several people attracted other customers in the restaurant to look over one after another. Some of them didn't know what was going on with Bai's pickles, and asked each other in low voices. After they figured out what was going on, they also called out A pickle is only a dime or two.

Bai Zhixi looked at it, and couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Soon the three of them ate noodles. Wan Chuer ate her own pickles, and felt that eating here was really different. She couldn't help but whet her appetite. She quickly ate up a bowl full of noodles. She looked up At first glance, Bai Zhixi also eats sweetly.

When the proprietress came to collect the money, she asked curiously, "Why did I suddenly remember eating noodles in the store today?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Our family has moved here. We just moved here today. It's not cheap to cook. I thought it was close to your house, so I came here. Your noodles are really delicious."

The owner's noodles were praised, and the proprietress was very happy, "You are welcome to come to eat noodles often."

Wan Chuer said: "That's indispensable. Our house is diagonally opposite the Dajiang Market. There is an elm tree at the door. It is easy to find. If the proprietress can't wait to deliver pickles, she can go there directly to get them."

It would be even better if it could save Bai Zhixi from traveling a little.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Oh, that's the yard, I know, okay, I'll go to your house when I'm free."

Bai Zhixi hurriedly said enthusiastically, "You are welcome."

After leaving the Wu's restaurant, Bai Zhixi asked An Lian to go back to rest, "There is not much work left, Chu'er and I can clean up a little bit, you can go home and rest quickly, what did you do in the morning?" It's a lot of work, you should be exhausted."

Oh, her mother's heart is so kind, it hurts so much.Wan Chu'er lowered her head and kicked the pebbles.

An Lian thought about it for a while and indeed there was nothing heavy to do, and his old pestle said that it would not be inconvenient for mother and daughter, so he nodded in agreement.

After returning home, at Wan Chuer's strong request, the mother and daughter took a lunch break for half an hour before getting up to continue working.

There are three main rooms, Wan Chu'er and Bai Zhixi occupy one room each, and the one in the middle is used as the living room.

All the pickles were put in the small house in the south, which was crowded to the brim.

At five or six in the afternoon, the house was almost cleaned up, so Wan Chu'er told Bai Zhixi that she wanted to go out.

Bai Zhixi asked with concern: "It's so late, where are you going? It's been a busy day, so I'm so tired."

Wan Chu'er blinked, she didn't have any idea where she was going, and the person who asked was her mother, so she said honestly, "I'll go find Xiaobai."

When she heard that she was looking for Xiaobai, Bai Zhixi remembered that Xiaobai had asked about the photo, her heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "What's the matter with you and Xiaobai?"

She didn't expect her mother to be so nervous that she went to find Xiaobai. Wan Chu'er felt a little strange, but after thinking about it for a while, she was relieved. After all, she and Xiaobai were strangers, or Bai Zhixi was worried about what happened between her and Xiaobai Bar.

Although she felt that Bai Zhixi was thinking too much, Wan Chu'er patiently explained:
"Before we received so much care from Xiaobai, I wanted to repay his favor, so I went to his store and gave him some advice."

Bai Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, not believing that her daughter could come up with any suggestions, and said with a smile:

"You are just a 16-year-old sophomore in high school. What can you use to repay this kindness? Xiaobai's family is rich, and I don't think there is anything lacking. Mom thinks that Xiaobai's helping us is not to repay us. At this stage, we I don't have the ability to really help him. I think Xiaobai likes to eat our pickles, so why not make him some better pickles.

Another one, we can keep this favor in our hearts now, and when we have the ability to do something for the other party, we can just do it quietly, without the banner of repaying the favor, or Xiaobai If there is any difficulty, when we can help him, we will help him wholeheartedly. Do you think what mother said is right? "

Bai Zhixi paid attention to her daughter's expression, thought for a while and continued:
"Actually, there are a few words that my mother wanted to tell you a long time ago. Mom sees that you always stare at Xiaobai. Although Xiaobai is easy-going, he has helped us so much after all. We should have it." Respect is still necessary, this is the duty of a human being.”
