Laixi, nearly fifty years old.
I have stayed in the Xie family for more than 40 years. Although I have left the Xie family, I have made indispensable contributions.
Xie Fan patted Hui'er on the head, "Where is he? Take me there!"
After walking around a few streets, I saw a familiar figure.
Xie Fan stepped forward and shouted enthusiastically, "Come on!"
Laixi paused and walked in the opposite direction.
Xie Fan chased after him, "Why are you running? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Laixi covered her dirt-covered cheeks with her hands, "Master, you have recognized the wrong person!"
"Special brew! You knew I was the young master, and you said I recognized the wrong person?" Xie Fan grabbed the other person's arm with his hand and saw several scars, "How have you been recently?"
Laixi sighed, raised his head, and looked at the other party blankly, "Master, I'm sorry to the Xie family!"
"I know that you don't really want to leave the Xie family!" Xie Fan smiled and said softly, "You left because you saw the decline of the Xie family, and you don't want to hurt the Xie family!"
Hui'er snorted coldly and turned her face to the other side.
Laixi's hands trembled, "Master, if you say that, I'm even more shameless!"
Hui'er stuck out her tongue and was pushed aside by Xie Fan.
"Come back to Xie's house with me! I know you have two sons and your life is not easy!"
Facing the invitation from his old club, Laixi could no longer suppress his emotions, "Those two traitors kicked me out! I have no shame in going back to Xie's house. Thank you young master for your kindness!"
Xie Fan can understand the other person's mood, who will encounter difficulties that are difficult to overcome? He took the other party's arm and said, "If you don't go back to Xie's house, I will find you a job! You will be the shopkeeper!"
"Master, no, absolutely not!"
Laixi kept pushing back, wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Xie Fan ordered with a cold face, "You have to go! This is the Xie family's business! If you still remember me, please contribute to the Xie family again!"
Laixi nodded slowly, tears falling in the air.
Xie Fan brought Laixi back to Zhengtai Chain.
Zhang Chao has returned and is setting up carriages on the street.
Ah Fu was a little surprised when he saw Laixi, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Laixi, he is the new shopkeeper of this shop!"
Those who stay are always somewhat inexplicably hostile to those who leave, "Master, it's better for me to stay!"
Xie Fan grabbed Ah Fu's ears, gave him a firm kick on his butt, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, have you learned how to deal with me?"
Hui'er pulled Afu aside and whispered softly.
Xie Fan walked into the store and called Yu'er over, "Tell Laixi the rules of the store."
Laixi wiped away her tears and listened carefully to Yu'er's explanation.
Xie Fan came outside the house and asked, "Zhang Chao, Zhao Meng, is there any problem?"
"Master, we have already discussed it. General Liao Yong will come to Xie's house tomorrow!" Zhang Chao didn't know Lai Xi, but he couldn't help but talk too much, "Can the person you are looking for do it?"
"Laixi used to be the housekeeper of the Xie family. He can't handle such a small shop!" Xie Fan took two steps and ordered, "Come, General Liao, don't make any noise. You go down the mountain to meet him tomorrow and take him directly to the place. !”
"Yes, Master!"
Hui'er spoke with beaming eyes, Ah Fu listened attentively.
Xie Fan cleared his throat, "Afu, why don't you pack your things? Are you not going to go back with me?"
No matter how slow Ah Fu's brain reacts, he still knows that he doesn't need to visit the store anymore.
Hui'er stood beside Xie Fan in disgrace, obviously not satisfied, "Master, do you really want to stay to celebrate?"
"Don't chew your tongue! How does Yue'er usually educate you?"
"The young mistress said that when you encounter something that is not right, you must speak out bravely! She said that the young master likes people who have strong opinions!"
"Telling you these truths is like talking to an ox!" Xie Fan complained helplessly, pointing at Ah Fu who had walked away, "One day, I have to find a teacher to give you a good class!"
"I don't want it!" Hui'er covered her head and frowned, "Your nagging is enough! I still have business to do!"
Xie Fan didn't dare to ask, for fear that it would be a serious matter, namely the marriage.
Suddenly, he thought of Ziying, "How are you and Ziying getting along recently?"
"That's good. She is also a hard-working person. She works very hard!"
"Did she tell you about what happened before?"
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
Xie Fan smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, you guys get along well!"
He turned to Zhang Chao, "How are you doing there? When are you going home? Are you planning to get a wife?"
Zhang Chao scratched his head, "A few days ago, I asked my young mistress to help write a letter home. Wait until the family comes, and then think about marrying a wife!"
"You should learn from Nie Yunlong. That stupid guy can marry two wives, so it's no problem for you!"
Zhang Chao fell silent and looked into the distance.
Xie Fan was a little surprised, "Zhang Chao, tell the truth, do you have someone you like?"
Hui'er put her hands on her hips, "Can't you tell? Isn't it obvious enough?"
"Grandma's!" Xie Fan pulled Zhang Chao out of the carriage, "Where is your home? I'll propose marriage to you!"
Zhang Chao forced a smile and took two steps back, "Chujiang is very far away!"
"Chujiang?" Xie Fan thought hard, as if he had heard this name somewhere before, "I remember that there was an invasion by the Yi country, which reached Chujiang. Did you join the army at that time, right?"
Zhang Chao nodded, "If it hadn't been for that war, I wouldn't have left home."
A rough estimate shows that it would take ten days to travel by carriage from this place to the Chu River.
This distance is not too far, but there is still some hope.
"We will leave tomorrow and come back in a month! I can't go with you, you can go back by yourself!"
"Master, even if you go back, things will be different. I'd better stay!"
"Grandma! There is no need to discuss this matter! Things will change later, and arrangements must be made early!" Xie Fan put his arm around the other party's shoulders, "I have a message for you! In this life, you must fight for at least one woman!"
Laixi came to the door softly, "Master, I have written down everything that Miss Yu'er told you."
Xie Fan stepped forward and pointed to the sign above his head, "This store belongs to the Xie family. Now, you are the shopkeeper! You live in the house, keep the accounts clearly, and half of the profits will be yours!"
Laixi's eyes were filled with tears and her cheeks were covered with wrinkles. "Young Master, Laixi remembers it!"
Several people got on the carriage and started on their way home.
Hui'er excitedly held Yu'er's hand, "It's great to have you back! My young mistress always talks about you!"
Yu'er glared, "You and the young mistress have a good relationship?"
"That's right, the young mistress has a good relationship with everyone!"
Afu held his head and looked at Taiyin Mountain, which was getting closer and closer. Finally, he could stay with the young master again.
Xie Fan and Zhang Chao were sitting in front of the car, pointing in the distance.
Soon, the fields here will belong to the Xie family.
Three thousand acres, how many people are needed? How many cows?
