Lao Xing, who had just learned two moves today, was so happy that he no longer had the serious expression he used to have even when patrolling the streets.
He was smiling all over his face, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't be able to see how happy he was feeling today.
Everyone on the road looked at Mr. Xing's unusual smile today and felt a little strange, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After going round and round, Xiaoliu and Lao Xing patrolled the streets for most of the day, and finally arrived at Tongfu Inn.
"Hey, Lao Xing and Xiao Liu are here."
In the lobby, Lao Bai, who was eating melon seeds, watched the two people come in and greeted them quickly.
Beside him, Xiao Guo was holding a broom to clean up the melon seed shells that Lao Bai had dropped with an unhappy look on his face. Now she wanted to slap the broom directly on Lao Bai's face.
"Lao Xing, why are you so happy today? Are you happy?" Lao Bai clapped his hands, cleared the melon seed crumbs on his hands, and asked with a smile.
Lao Xing had a bright smile on his face, and his joy was beyond words. Even a blind man could tell that he was different today.
Lao Xing sat down at his usual seat and did not answer Lao Bai's words. Instead, he looked curiously at Xiao Guo, who was holding a broom in his hand.
"This is?"
"..." Xiao Guo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lao Bai.
"Don't worry about her. She owes our shopkeeper money, and she's working part-time to pay it back."
Xiao Guo, who was robbed of his words by Lao Bai, looked at Lao Bai angrily.
"What are you looking at? Mr. Xing is here. Why don't you make a pot of tea?" Old Bai Yi said angrily.
Xiao Guo glanced at Lao Bai fiercely, then gritted her teeth and went to get the teapot. She had already thought about it, she must figure out how to defeat Lao Bai, and then teach him a lesson.
Seeing Xiao Guo going to make tea so obediently, Lao Xing felt a little incredible, and he quickly asked in a low voice.
"You dare to use Guo Juxia's daughter like this, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"
"Why are you angry? It's natural to pay back debts, and we are also helping her." After that, Lao Bai whispered to Lao Xing.
"This girl's martial arts skills are so bad. She still dares to go out and fight in the world. Isn't she just asking for death? Let's make her suffer a little more, and it can also improve her memory."
"This Guo Juxia is a hero among heroes. As long as we don't go too far, he won't blame us." Lao Bai said calmly. Compared with the bloody chaos in the world, he is nothing like this.
"And our shopkeeper is in charge of this matter. You also know that our shopkeeper, when it comes to money, let alone Guo Juxia, even if the Jade Emperor comes, it will be useless."
Hearing this, Lao Xing asked in a low voice.
"How much money does she owe your shopkeeper?"
Lao Bai spread his palms and said.
"Fifty taels!"
"So many!" Lao Xing exclaimed.
At this moment, Lao Xing also nodded clearly. Shopkeeper Tong is good at everything, but he is too stingy. He counts even a small amount of money in such detail, let alone these fifty taels.
"Okay, then bring me whatever good wine and food you have here. I've been patrolling the streets all day and it's a bit physically demanding, so I need to replenish myself."
Lao Xing doesn't care about this business anymore. Just like Lao Bai said that repaying debts is a matter of course. Let them solve it by themselves. Anyway, the Guo family is not short of money.
"Okay, Lao Xing, I'll let Dazui do it for you. By the way, Lao Xing, did you meet any happy event today? Why are you so happy?"
Lao Bai responded with a smile, but he did not start immediately, but asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just patrolling the streets today. It consumes a lot of energy, so it needs to replenish it."
Lao Xing looked like he wanted to talk but didn't want to say anything. People would know what he was hiding at a glance.
Lao Bai listened to Lao Xing's words and smiled. "Old Xing, what are you talking about? Don't you patrol the streets every day? Why did you consume a lot today?"
By the way, Lao Bai may have been a little too arrogant in his training with Xiao Guo today. If he were the usual cautious person, he would not talk to the official like this.
However, the relationship between the two was very good, and Lao Xing was very happy today, and he wanted to show off to an acquaintance.
No, Lao Bai just delivered it to his door.
I saw Lao Xing waving and motioning for Lao Bai to come over.
When Lao Bai saw Lao Xing like this, he was also very curious and quickly put his ear over curiously.
Xiao Guo, who was pouring water on the side, came closer curiously when he saw this, wanting to hear what they had to say.
Lao Xing didn't care when Xiao Guo wanted to hear it. He wanted more people to know about it. When Lao Bai saw that Lao Xing had no objection, he left Xiao Guo alone.
"I started practicing martial arts today." Lao Xing whispered, as if he was talking about a military secret.
After hearing Lao Xing's words, Lao Bai and Xiao Guo were both stunned. Practicing martial arts? What's this?
The two looked at Lao Xing with strange expressions, and Lao Xing looked at the way the two looked at him and said seriously before they could ask.
"Don't talk nonsense around. I told you two. If I find out who else knows about this, I'll take it out on you." As he said this, Lao Xing drew his sword and warned.
"Don't tell, don't tell, absolutely don't tell." Seeing Lao Xing's serious look, the two of them quickly shook their heads in fear.
Xiaoliu on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw the three of them like this.
Xiaoliu knew that even though his master said so, in his heart he wished they could spread it everywhere. It would be best if the whole country knew about it.
"Okay, master, Brother Bai, let Brother Big Mouth cook quickly, I'm almost starving to death." At this time, Xiao Liu on the side also spoke to reconcile.
At this time, more than half of noon had passed, and Xiaoliu was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. I have to say that practicing martial arts is indeed very physically demanding.
"Okay, Xiao Guo, go to the kitchen and ask Dazui to cook two roast chickens." Lao Bai said with a smile when he saw this. He also knew that practicing martial arts is a physically demanding thing.
When Xiao Guo heard that Lao Bai actually asked her to go, she looked at Lao Bai angrily.
"What are you looking at? Look for something!" Seeing Xiao Guo looking at him angrily, Lao Bai waved his finger unceremoniously and warned.
"You!" Xiao Guo was speechless and could only turn around and walk towards the kitchen bitterly.
Xiao Liu on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel that it was a bit too much. He whispered to Lao Bai.
"Brother Bai, are you going a little too far? I think she is almost crying."
Lao Bai looked at Xiao Liu's distressed look and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm trying to show off my power. I want to kill her first. Otherwise, a young lady like her won't be able to control her at all. Don't worry, I have control over it." Lao Bai looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hands. look like.
"Oh!" Seeing Lao Bai like this, Xiao Liu didn't say anything more. After all, this was a matter within the store, and the shopkeeper didn't have any objections, so he couldn't say much.
And with Xiao Guo's character, he really needs to be tempered. Otherwise, how could she, a spoiled young lady, do what a handyman does?
And if you want to polish Xiao Guo's character, then Lao Bai is the most suitable. After all, neither Dazui nor Xiucai know martial arts. If they dare to challenge Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo will give them a crushing blow. It's not certain who will challenge whom.
In this way, in the next few days, Xiao Guo, the eldest lady, completed the transformation from eldest lady to handyman in the hands of Lao Bai.
At the beginning, Xiao Guo was still doing all kinds of hard work and was not active in doing things. He could even clear a table for most of the day.
But after being starved for a few times by the shopkeeper, they were joined by Lao Bai and the shopkeeper, one of whom was a bad guy and the other a good guy. With the tacit cooperation of the two, Xiao Guo, this unruly little wild horse, was initially tamed.
Now Xiao Guo is not only able to do what he should do, but he no longer forces Dazui and the others to get up in the middle of the night to make him supper.
It can be said that she has given up her past life of a young lady and started to integrate with everyone in Tongfu Inn.
And looking at Xiao Guo's changes in the past few days, Xiao Liu also understood what it means to be relaxed and relaxed in employing people.
It can be said that the cooperation between Lao Bai and the shopkeeper taught him a vivid lesson on how to manage thorny employees.
But just today, something happened to Xiao Guo again.
People often say that it takes three minutes to get hot and strong, but Xiao Guo's hot and strong energy lasted for three days.
"It's so weird, I've just learned to stay in bed just a few days ago! The water doesn't boil anymore, the floor doesn't sweep, and the bed doesn't fold anymore!"
The shopkeeper angrily walked from the lobby into the backyard, while Lao Bai followed her carefully.
It turned out that when she got up today, she found that Xiao Guo hadn't gotten up yet, so she asked Lao Bai to call her. Unexpectedly, he didn't dare to get up.
At this time, Xiaobei, who had just gotten up and came out, heard his sister-in-law's words and asked in confusion.
"How can I fold the quilt if I don't get up?"
When the shopkeeper saw Xiaobei, she became even more angry. Even the children got up, but she didn't even get up. And what's even more annoying is that she, the shopkeeper, actually had to come and call her in person.
"That's her business, go! Wake her up." The shopkeeper said angrily.
"Oh!" Seeing that his sister-in-law was so angry, Xiaobei was a little scared and quickly went into the house to call Xiaoguo.
"Sister Xiao Guo, sister Xiao Guo, get up quickly! Hurry! My sister-in-law is coming with Brother Bai." Xiao Bei said anxiously, pushing Xiao Guo who was lying in bed.
At this time, Xiao Guo, who was still half asleep, not only did not get up when he heard Xiao Bei's words, but also shouted loudly.
"Come just come, if you can, just let him kill me with one finger!"
If you ask people when they are most courageous, there is no doubt that one is when they are drunk, and the other is when they stay in bed, because at this time they are not completely conscious.
Outside the door, the shopkeeper and Lao Bai were eavesdropping.
Hearing that Xiao Guo actually dared to shout loudly, the shopkeeper said with an angry smile. "Did you hear that? She also learned to challenge me."
Lao Bai smiled knowingly and said loudly. "It's up to you whether you want to click on her Tanzhong or ring dance."
The shopkeeper also asked loudly in a tacit understanding. "What's the difference?"
"Diantanzhong, her upper body is sore and numb; Danhuanjing, her lower body is sore and numb. When the time comes, I will use my internal strength to stimulate it, and it will make her itchy and unbearable, and she will be in pain!" At the end of Lao Bai's words, his voice became extremely sharp, It makes people feel pain just listening to it.
Xiao Guo, who was playing chess with Duke Zhou in the room, was also awakened instantly.
"Sister Xiao Guo, please get up quickly. My sister-in-law is still waiting outside?" Seeing that Xiao Guo was finally willing to get up, Xiao Bei quickly reminded her in a low voice.
But it's already this time, and Xiao Guo knows that if he goes out like this at this time, he will definitely be dealt with for a while.
Suddenly, she came up with a plan and thought of the magic trick she used to skip class when she was a child, pretending to be sick!
"Open the door, open the door. If you don't open the door, I'll kick you!"
Seeing that there was no movement inside for so long, Lao Bai and the shopkeeper outside the door quickly knocked on the door and warned, even though the door was obviously open.
Xiao Guo quickly pretended to be dizzy and lay on the bed, and she did not forget to whisper to Xiao Bei. "Xiao Bei, just tell me that I'm sick, and I'll buy you candied haws next time."
After saying that, Xiao Guo began to secretly exert his internal energy on his forehead, making his forehead feel hot.
This trick was created when she was a child to skip classes and practice martial arts. Even her father and mother couldn't see through it.
"Open the door, open the door, I'm really going to kick you!" Lao Bai warned again.
When there was still no response from anyone in the room, Lao Bai started counting loudly. "I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, I'll kick you!"
"one!"
"two!"
"..."
Lao Bai paused for a while, but there was still no response. Lao Bai glanced at the shopkeeper, who nodded.
"three!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Bai and the shopkeeper pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why are you still asleep?" The two of them asked politely when they saw Xiao Guo still sleeping on the bed and Xiao Bei standing beside him.
Xiao Bei looked at her sister-in-law, thinking about Xiao Guo's promise just now, and she said hesitantly. "Sister Xiao Guo is sick."
At this moment, Xiao Bei ignored the fact that Xiao Guo didn't have a penny on her, and she didn't have a salary. Where would she get the money to buy her candied haws?
When the shopkeeper and Lao Bai heard this, before they had time to speak, Xiao Guo, who was sleeping on the bed, said tremblingly. "Xiao Bei, I'm fine. I just have a slight fever."
As he spoke, Xiao Guo tremblingly stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Bei's forehead. His frail look reminded him of his sister who was about to leave due to overwork. He couldn't bear to see his sister look sad.
To say that Xiao Guo's acting skills are real, Qingxia and Manyu, who are praised by Da Zui and others, are hard to compare with.
At this time, even the shopkeeper was a little confused looking at this scene. Wasn't he fine just now? You can still shout loudly, what’s wrong with that?
The shopkeeper touched Xiao Guo's forehead in disbelief.
"It was fine just now..."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, his hand was burned.
"It's really a bit hot!" The shopkeeper looked at Lao Bai at a loss.
Lao Bai also touched Xiao Guo's forehead with some doubts.
"Oh my God, this is hot enough to steam an egg." Lao Bai also hurriedly withdrew his hand. He had been a good boy since he was a child and had never pretended to be sick, so he didn't even know there was such a method, and Xiao Guo's acting was too real.
