Since Xia Xi came back that day, the door was not locked, and he left in a hurry. The village head was very worried, and even had no mood for the new year. When he was free, he went to Xia Xi's house to see if she came back. I went several times a day, but I was 15 years old, and I didn't see anyone. The village head's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

This day, he went back and walked around the door twice. Seeing that Xia Xi still didn't come back, he sighed and turned to go home.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a carriage coming. After a moment of stupefaction, he remembered that it was Xia Xi's carriage. He was very happy and walked quickly towards the carriage. "Lady Xia!"

Hearing the cry, Xia Xi lifted the curtain of the car and saw that she was running towards the carriage. She raised her voice and asked, "uncle, this is..."

"Waiting for you."

See her, the village head sink to the bottom of the heart back to the original place, happy, "I think, you should come back today."

The coachman had stopped the carriage. Xia Xi put down the curtain and got off the carriage. "Something happened a few days ago. I didn't have time to pay you a new year's call. Uncle didn't blame me."

"It doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter whether you pay respects to your uncle or not."

"By the way..."

Then the village head took out the key. "You left in a hurry last time. You forgot to lock the door. I locked it. The key is always with me."

Xia Xi took it, "thank you uncle."

"You're welcome with uncle. Let's go home if you have something to do."

Xia Xi followed him to his home. The village head's daughter-in-law was very happy. She took out all the melon seeds and peanuts prepared for the new year to greet her.

"Go and call for the money." Village head road.

The village head's daughter-in-law went quickly to call Wei Qian.

The village head pushed the melon seeds and peanuts in front of Xia Xi, "it's all fried by your aunt, specially for you."

In previous years, the village head's family was reluctant to eat any of these melon seeds and peanuts. They changed them into money and put them in their hands to subsidize Wei's money.

This year, the family is not so tight, it did not sell, the new year when a lot of speculation out.

Some of them are reserved to entertain the villagers, some are taken away by Wei Lian and Zhang gen, and the rest are specially reserved for Xia Xi.

Xia Xi thanks and grabs a few peanuts in her hand.

The village head didn't ask her what happened when she came back a few days ago. He said with a smile, "I've made up my mind. The new workshop will be built on the other side of the sun drying field. Isn't there any wasteland to the west? I'll ask someone to clean up the wasteland and change it into a sun drying field. What do you think?"

"Uncle is the master."

"Well, that's settled. When the workshop opens, I'll call the villagers to level up the wasteland."

Wei Qian came in with the account book in his hand. After shouting "Lady Xia", he handed the account book to her. "All the income and expenses of the workshop are here. Have a look."

Xia Xi put down the peanuts in her hand, took over the account book and looked at it carefully.

No one in the room spoke.

When she finished reading the last page, the village head's daughter-in-law opened the box on the Kang, took out a money bag from it, and handed it to Xia Xi. The village head said, "this is the money left in the workshop. It's all here. You can count it."

Xia Xi took it and counted it carefully. Then she took out a small piece of silver, about one or two points, and put it in front of the village head. "Uncle, this is your salary."

I remember clearly that the village head didn't take a copper.

The village head was stunned for a moment, and then pushed the silver back in front of her, "Lady Xia, I'm the head of a village. I should help. I don't need to get paid."

"It won't work."

Xia Xi pushed the silver back in front of him again, "since the workshop opened, you've been busy inside and outside. I've become a shopkeeper. You must take the silver."

Seeing that the village head had to refuse, Xia Xi said, "if you don't take it, I'm sorry to let you take charge of the workshop."

The village head refused but had to accept it.

Xia Xi handed back the money bag to Wei Qian, "take these. After opening tomorrow, you can collect sweet potatoes. What's more, starting tomorrow, I will pay the village head uncle 50 Wen a day. "

Wei Qian almost didn't catch the money bag, and the village head was even more shocked. He waved his hand in a panic, "no, no..."

"The fast food restaurant will open tomorrow. I can't take care of the workshop, so I'll give it to you. You'll be in charge of it in the future. Of course, you have to pay more than others."

"No, no!"

The village head didn't agree with what he said. The village head's daughter-in-law also thought that she had given too much. She advised, "Lady Xia, if you don't like this, give your uncle 20 Wen, 50 Wen is too much."

"It's settled. If the workshop opens tomorrow, I won't come here. My uncle will be in charge of everything. If anything happens, let someone go to the county to find me."

……

Luochen mountain villa.

As soon as Xia Xi leaves, Jiang Wan gets the news and immediately asks Shuangmei to dress herself up, put on plain clothes, and then go to the quiet courtyard.

Along the way, I met many servants of the villa, pointing at her and whispering.

When Jiang Wan didn't hear it, she came to Qingyou courtyard, stood in the courtyard, and yelled to the room, "elder sister, I'm Wan'er. I've come to see acher."

Hearing her voice, Feng Qin's head aches. Let her come in. I'm afraid Xia Xi will come back angry. But if she doesn't come in, she will kneel down again

Thinking about it, he gave the child to Ruyan and opened the door. "Wan'er, the government doctor said that che'er is weak now. Try not to contact outsiders. I don't think you look very well. Is your illness not completely cured? You go back first, take good care of your body, and then come back when you are completely well

Jiang Wan eagerly took a step forward, "elder sister, I'm fine."

Fengqin came to her and grabbed her hand, "Wan'er, I know you are worried about che'er, but we all have to listen to the words of the government doctors. Che'er's body can't stand anything now. Listen to the elder sister's words, you go back and take good care of it. When you take good care of it, you come back."

Jiang Wan's heart is full of hate. It's freezing. There's no charcoal basin in the room and she doesn't eat well. How can she make up for it.

But the face is not obvious, very obedient listen to Fengqin's words, "elder sister said is, I'm too anxious, want to see acher earlier, didn't consider his body, I'll go back, elder sister also want to take good care of your body, you are thin these days."

Feng Qin patted her hand, "I know you are intimate, go back quickly."

Jiang Wan reluctantly looked into the room and then turned to leave.

Seeing her figure disappear outside the hospital, Feng Qin sighs and goes back to the house.

Like smoke embrace Ke son to come over, gave her, "madam, this Miss Jiang still calculate sensible."

"She used to be very sensible, even to che'er. She not only made clothes for che'er, but also cooked snacks for che'er herself. Unlike ordinary ladies in boudoir, she couldn't do anything. She is also gentle. She speaks to everyone in a soft voice. No one expected that she would... "

……

Back to the Yuqing courtyard, Jiang Wan picked up the teacup and fell to the ground, his face twisted and terrible.

All the servant girls were scared, and no one dared to make a sound. Even Shuangmei tightened her body and tried to reduce her sense of existence.

"Go and call the housekeeper!"

Shuangmei leaves in a hurry, and the housekeeper comes with her.

The floor had been cleaned. Jiang Wan sat on the chair, gentle and generous. "Housekeeper, I have nothing to do in my spare time. I want to make a small dress for my elder sister's child. I need some soft cloth. Do you have any in our villa?"

Jiang Wan was kind, and the housekeeper would not be too much. He bent slightly. "There are some in the warehouse. I don't know what kind of things you need?"

"You ask someone to send me some. I'll choose."

The housekeeper retreated, and soon sent someone to deliver it. Jiang Wan chose a piece of broken flowers with a blue background, and asked for scissors, needles and thread.

Xia Xi comes back and gets the news that Feng Qin doesn't let Jiang Wan in.

After thinking about it, I went to the kitchen, made some good dishes, and took them to Qingyou courtyard to eat with Fengqin.

Does Feng Qin know what she thinks? She must be happy to know that she didn't let Jiang Wan in.

She put Ke'er into her arms with a smile. "I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. Look at it, child. I want to have a good meal."

Xia Xi is not annoyed, holding Ke'er's little hand to tease him, "tomorrow's fast food restaurant will open. I may be there in the daytime. Fengche will trouble his wife to take care of him."

"My own brother, what trouble is not trouble, although you busy you, he here you don't have to worry about."

"I'll come back in the evening and give him a massage."

"All right."

……

The next morning, Xia Xi took Qi'er and Hu Zi to the fast food restaurant.

All the workers had arrived early. They were all jubilant, standing at the door, greeting each other, waiting for Xia Xi to come.

The carriage stopped, Xia Xi came down, and everyone called her new year's greetings in unison, "Lady Xia, happy new year."

Xia Xi responded with a smile, "you have a good new year too. It's a new year. Make more efforts to earn more money."

"That's a must."

They all answered in unison.

Xia Xi swept an eye, didn't see Zhang Ye's voice, the smile on the face pale for a while.

Behind him came the sound of a carriage, followed by the voice of song and Ming, "Lady Xia."

Xia Xi turns around. Song Ming leads the carriage to her and smiles, "Lady Xia, my elder brother has business and can't help. He asked me to send the carriage to you..."

With these words, he turned around and moved out a box from the carriage, "and this, the surplus of the fast food restaurant years ago is all in it, and the account books are also in it."

Xia Xi took the box, "thank you."

Song Ming waved his hand and handed him the bridle.

"Pillars."

Xia Xi shouts.

The pillar came forward to take it.

Song Ming rubbed his hands, "that, lady Xia, I'm afraid our brothers can't come either."

Xia Xi nodded, "I know."

Song Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it. "I'll leave. If anything happens to you, just go to our brothers."

"Thank you."

Song Ming waved his hand and turned to leave.

Xia Xi took out some pieces of silver from the box and gave it to Eugene, "you and Zhu drive the carriage to buy. Remember, the food must be good, rotten and inferior. Don't do it. This is your job in the future."

"Good."

Xia Xi said that the rest of the people, "we wipe it inside and outside first, and all the utensils in the kitchen have been wiped."

Everyone answered and went to work.

You en and you Hua come here, "Auntie."

Maybe he ate well and didn't have to worry. Eun grew up a lot.

"You go in and play."

Many days no see, Qi son and tiger son come up to pull two people's hand, happily go in.

Xia Xi went to her house with the box in her arms, put the box down, and cleaned the house by herself. Then she went to Qi'er's house and directed several villains to clean it.

You en and you Hua clean the table. Qi Er and Hu Zi sprinkle water one by one and clean the floor one by one.

Qi Er picked up the broom, "uncle, you go to fetch water, I'll sweep the floor."

Tiger should be a, ran out, and soon brought half a ladle of water in, did not wait for Qi Er to speak, all splashed on the ground, water splashed on several people's new clothes.

"Ah..."

You en and you Hua yelled at the same time and quickly wiped them with their hands.

"Uncle..."

Qi Er quickly came forward, took the ladle in his hand, and made a gesture of lifting water with her hand, "sprinkle it slowly like this."

Tiger son Oh a, took Qi Er's hand of the ladle, and went to scoop the water over, learn Qi Er just action, once to lift out.

"Tiger is smart."

Xia Xi praised.

Huzi was so happy that he grinned all the time.

After watching them clean up and instructing them to play for a while, Xia Xi went back to her house and sat down. She opened the box and took out the account book. She read it page by page and then put it back. She didn't count the silver bills in it.

When they finished cleaning, Eugene and Zhu also bought food and came back. It was almost time for them to do their jobs.

Xia Xi went to the kitchen, put on her apron and prepared to cook in person. A villager came to her sweating, "Lady Xia, there's an accident. The village head asked you to go back."
