My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 43 Encounter

Mrs. Guan greeted him the whole time.

That's why He Yuzhou was free to come to town.

Because he didn't want to go back empty-handed, He Yuzhou went to the vegetable market again, thinking about the food intake of Mrs. Guan herself, Uncle Zhao's family, and the eight big men. He Yuzhou bought twenty catties of pork, ten catties of bones, and a basket of eggs in one go. , The previous basket is almost full, and the chick has not yet grown up, and now it is resting at Guan Da's mother's house.

There is no need to buy vegetables and the like. Many people in the village can’t eat all the vegetables grown. The miscellaneous grains his family bought last time are still enough to eat. After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing needed. He Yuzhou is carrying those things, thinking about whether to buy them Hiring a bullock cart to go back, he felt that hiring a cart was still a luxury. In the end, he walked on the road with big bags and small bags.

After walking for a while, He Yuzhou completely regretted it.

Tiredness is the second priority. This road is a driveway, and there are always ox carts and horse-drawn carts coming and going. The road is a dirt road. Once the wheels roll, there will be a burst of dust, which makes He Yuzhou very embarrassed.

"Miss He." A call came from behind, He Yuzhou looked back and found a carriage stopped in front of him.

The person driving the car was the smiling Uncle An, the cloth shop owner.

He Yuzhou froze for a moment, looked at the carriage behind Uncle An, and lowered his eyes, so the person in this carriage...is Lu Zhuoxi?

"Ahem...Uncle An..." Sure enough, the man lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a slender white hand, and then slightly stretched out his head.

With tired eyes, he saw He Yuzhou light up slightly: "So I met Miss He."

He glanced at He Yuzhou, saw what he mentioned, pursed his lips and said, "Zhuo Xi is going to look for Miss, Miss, get in the car."

After finishing speaking, he put down the car curtain, his tone seemed to be irresistible, He Yuzhou was a little puzzled, why did Lu Zhuoxi become so tough?

With doubts, He Yuzhou got into the car.

The interior of the car was very spacious, with a floppy seat on the inside, Lu Zhuoxi was lying on it, seeing He Yuzhou coming in, she got up and made room for him.

He Yuzhou sat down.

Lu Zhuoxi looked at the things He Yuzhou put aside, and asked, "I heard that Miss has already started building the house?"

He Yuzhou nodded.

Lu Zhuoxi said: "There are places where Zhuoxi can help."

He Yuzhou shook his head.

Lu Zhuoxi covered her mouth and coughed lightly: "Why didn't Miss speak?"

He Yuzhou glanced at him, thinking, he was not afraid of saying the wrong thing, but in the end he just said, "I'm just a little thirsty."

Lu Zhuoxi stopped talking after hearing this.

The journey was silent, with Lu Zhuoxi's carriage, it was only noon when they returned home.

The time was just right, He Yuzhou went home and made soup with the bones he bought, and soaked the meat in the water.

Cook the grains.

He took out the potatoes and made a few bowls of braised pork with potatoes. The soup was made of radish bone soup. June is the season of loofah.

Considering that the weather was too hot, He Yuzhou marinated some cucumber slices with white sweet and sour vinegar, and soaked a can of bamboo leaf tea for the helpers to relieve the heat.

After finishing these, leave your own portion and pack them up. Mrs. Guan just came back from the construction site and saw Lu Zhuoxi who was sitting in the living room for a moment. After saying hello, she went straight to the kitchen.

He Yuzhou handed the food box to her, and she said, "I thought I'd come back to help, but I didn't expect Xiaozhou to be so fast."

"Yuzhou is very grateful to Mrs. Guan for helping me greet them. How can I make Mrs. Guan work again?"

Aunt Guan smiled when she heard the words: "Why are you being polite with Auntie?"

After saying that, Mrs. Guan opened the food box and looked at it, she frowned slightly when she saw the dishes inside and said, "Xiaozhou, cook some more vegetarian dishes, and cook a pot of thick porridge. Yes, why did you cook such a big bowl of meat? This is too good, how much money will it cost..."

He Yuzhou said: "Building a house is physical work, so everyone must be fed no matter what, aunt, it's okay, the silver taels are enough."

Aunt Guan frowned, and wanted to say something else, but she glanced in the direction of the hall, stopped her mouth suddenly, and walked out with her things: "Then I'll take the food there first, they are all hungry, rice and soup It's too heavy, I'll let Congdi and Dahai come over to move it later, and Xiaozhou will come and take a look when it's fine in the afternoon."

He Yuzhou agreed, and sent Aunt Guan away. He Yuzhou took his own food into the hall, and when he saw Lu Zhuoxi, he suddenly remembered that he was so busy that he left Young Master Lu behind.

Slightly smiled apologetically, He Yuzhou served only his own portion of lunch, and felt a little embarrassed that there were two extra sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Uncle An said with a smile: "The girl finally remembered us."

He Yuzhou laughed dryly.

Uncle An sat down and said, "I've smelled the fragrance a long time ago, let me taste the girl's handicraft."

As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and ate, praising while eating.

"This braised pork... is oily but not greasy, and the potatoes are just soft, not bad!"

"This loofah is light and delicious, and this cucumber is also crisp and refreshing, delicious!"

When Lu Zhuoxi heard about it, she took a few mouthfuls with her chopsticks and ate half a bowl of miscellaneous grains.

Uncle An watched, and his smile grew stronger.

He Yuzhou couldn't figure out what they meant, so he just sat next to them and ate some.

In the middle of eating, Cong Di and Guan Dahai moved the things out, He Yuzhou got up, went to the kitchen to take out another food box, and asked Cong Di to deliver it to Zhao's family.

When we got back to the hall, we had already finished the food, probably all of Uncle An's food, Lu Zhuoxi didn't seem to have a good appetite, there was still half a bowl of rice left in the bowl.

He Yuzhou cleaned up, made a cup of aster tea for Lu Zhuoxi, poured another cup of bamboo leaf tea for Uncle An, and sat beside them.

"Master Lu, what did you come to see me for?" He spoke first.

Lu Zhuoxi blew on the tea lightly and said, "Miss, let Zhuoxi drink this cup of tea before we talk."

"..." He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes.

In the tea room, no one spoke, only Uncle An on the opposite side looked at him with a smile, Lu Zhuoxi drank the tea in his hand as if he had nothing to do with himself, and rarely raised his head, the atmosphere was very strange.

Finally, after finally waiting for Lu Zhuoxi to finish drinking his tea, he stood up and said, "Can Zhuoxi take a look at the house built by Miss?"

Although it was a question, he didn't give He Yuzhou a chance to refuse, and was supported by Uncle An to stand up, looking like he was waiting for He Yuzhou to lead the way.

He Yuzhou stood up speechlessly, and led him to the building.

He was just starting to build the house, so he only had a foundation.

When Lu Zhuoxi and He Yuzhou came, the eight men were digging with their shirts off. Seeing them, they waved at them. Perhaps because He Yuzhou was a woman, they all put on their clothes in twos and threes.

Seeing this, He Yuzhou felt a little helpless.
