Grasp the farming script in the famous book

The fight in front of the restaurant immediately put "Tommy's Kitchen" on the headlines of the local newspaper.

Roland's restaurant was completely "on fire".

All of New Orleans knew "Tommy's Kitchen."

Roland was even invited by the Local Affairs Bureau to question her, trying to find out what she had said that day, so that both parties stopped at the same time, and there was no big trouble.

She told what happened exactly, and several officers sitting opposite her laughed at the same time.

One of them sighed: "Isn't this just like two groups of fools being coaxed by a self-righteous person, and the self-righteous person is scared out of his true colors by a shot from you?"

"Madam, for this reason, we do not plan to hold you accountable for misuse of shotguns, nor do we intend to confiscate your license, but please do it yourself."

It was Philippe Robial who spoke solemnly.

As the highest-ranking local inspector, Philip's words will not be refuted by others.

Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that she has passed the test temporarily.

"Whether your restaurant will continue to open, maybe you should think about it."

"But at least it is recommended that you do not reopen the restaurant for two or three days, so that everyone in the city can calm down."

Robial posed the question majestically, then put on his hat and left the meeting room.

Roland stuck out his tongue secretly after he walked out of the room: This serious officer made her have no chance to go up to her relatives - her maternal grandfather's family name was also Robial!

Several officials across from her smiled at her understandingly: "Mr. Robial is like this. It is said that all the gentlemen from the west look like him."

"He's from the west?"

Roland has no doubts: Ellen's family has been settling in Charleston since they arrived from France, and has nothing to do with the West.

"Yes."

The officials look at each other.

They have some things to say.

The reason why Philippe Robial was able to sit in such a respected position in New Orleans is mainly because of his background in several western states.Between the southern states and the federal government in the north, there must always be a third party from the middle ground to maintain the balance of power.

"Anyway, just listen to him."

Roland nodded: she really doesn't plan to open within two or three days - Wei Xili and his wife have already arrived in New Orleans, and Wei Yingti's wedding will be in two days.

She left the Local Affairs Bureau next to the State Hall, hurried home to get some things, and then went to Indy's house, where the Weshleys lived.Melanie had written her a note earlier, asking her to visit her when she wasn't busy.

Roland brought presents to Ashley, Melanie, and even their child Beau, and she and Prissy got into the cab with big bags and small bags.

After arriving at the place, Roland discovered that the address was a beautiful Spanish-style courtyard in the upper city.

When the porter heard the sound of the carriage, he immediately rushed out to greet him, but when he saw that it was a rental carriage, his eager face immediately turned cold.

Roland didn't care. Anyway, she and Pulissy can lift things.

With her hands full, she walked into the square courtyard in the middle of the Spanish courtyard, and saw Wei Yingti when she looked up.

Inti is still the same, exactly the same as Roland saw in "Memory Kill" a few years ago.

It's not that Indy is really "frozen age", but that she has always looked extremely mature at a young age.She stood indifferently beside a small fountain in the courtyard, looking at Roland, not intending to welcome guests as a host at all.

Roland turned his eyes slightly, and saw another person——

Her heart instantly warmed up, because this man's embrace was always warm, and his eyes were always kind.

Roland had already left the things she was carrying at her feet, and she rushed forward recklessly, hugged Mammy's broad waist, and buried her head in her arms.

"Miss Scarlett, my Miss Scarlett—"

Mammy was on the point of crying too.

"Yesterday, Mr. Wei came back and told about you. I was so scared. Why did you live so hard, and this place is so dangerous..."

Roland was taken aback: her life was not considered hard, and the community she lived in was not considered dangerous.Except for what happened last night, of course...

She immediately understood: Wei Xili, Xili must think that running a restaurant alone is a very hard job, and the crisis that happened last night fully proved its danger.

If Wei Xili had the right to interfere, he would have stopped her from opening this restaurant, right?

"Let's not talk about that, why are you in New Orleans? Is Melanie all right?"

"I followed because I was worried that Mrs. Wei would not be taken care of..."

Before Mammy finished speaking, Roland stomped his feet: "If I had known you would be here, I should have brought your gift too."

She had presents for everyone, the best cloth and lace in the South for Indy and Melanie, a set of books for Ashley, and even a toy for Beau—a dog who could swim in the water. wood duckling.

But she left the gift for Mammy in the little house she rented.

"Prissy, I'll give you some money, you go and call a cab, go home and get the gift for Mammy, remember, that red taffeta is quite scratchy to the touch of……"

Mammy hurriedly stopped Prissy. When she heard that she also had such a gift, her eyes narrowed with a smile: "When will I get it? Now that you're here, don't worry about these things. Let's rest here for a while."

"I'll go and see if Mrs. Wei and Bo have packed up first. You and Miss Wei can talk first."

Mammy turned around and left the courtyard in a big but brisk manner.

Roland had to turn to Wei Yingti.

Her "implanted emotion" towards Wei Yingti is indifference. It seems that Scarlett Scarlett has never paid attention to Yingdi since she was a child.

It was no wonder that Wei Yingdi was cold towards her.

Wei Yingdi still stood there, staring at her closely, her eyes seemed to say: I know why my brother rushed to you first last night.

"Congratulations, Indy—"

Embarrassed, Roland could only find something to say, "The weather in New Orleans this season is very good, very...suitable for marriage."

"Thank you, Scarlett."

"I didn't expect my home to be here."

"But I want to remind you: don't worry about rebuilding Twelve Oaks. I know you just want to tie my brother and sister-in-law to Tara."

Wei Yingti said quickly.

"Your plan is too clumsy. I'm not Melanie, of course I can see that."

"My fiancé has found a well-paying position for Ashley, and he will stay here. And Melanie will soon be making her charms in New Orleans, and she will be the number one lady here. They won't be staying here again." Tara, I won't be with you day and night again."

Roland sighed inwardly: This girl seems to have misunderstood her.

She used the name of "rebuilding Twelve Oaks" to leave Ashley and Melanie in Tara, and then fled to New Orleans by herself. Leave by yourself and avoid meeting them.

But Wei Yingdi felt that she was deliberately approaching Ashley.After all, Tara is a place where Roland can have the final say, and no one will gossip easily, unlike in big cities...

Well now, Wei Yingdi got married, but asked her fiancé to bring Ashley to New Orleans—is it possible that she has to go back to Tara?

Roland suddenly remembered what Maomao said: In the plane, the characters always follow the protagonist... Maybe even if she goes back to Tara now, it won't work.

"However, I heard that you also opened a restaurant here?"

"Yeah," Roland nodded. It's all on the headlines of the newspaper, and there's nothing to hide.

"It's not like you," Indy commented accurately. "In the past, you only liked dancing and talking to men. I'm afraid that you are overestimating you if you say you can run a house. Now you can open a restaurant?"

Roland shrugged: This is the reality.

"But you'll never be the same as us."

Roland exhaled: "Yes. This is my choice."

She'd realized it early on, too, she'd figured it out at Tara.

She and these people in front of her have always been different and do not belong to the same class.Their lives, including Wei Xili and Melanie, have been built on the labor of others.The war reshaped their way of life, and they were forced to change - but given the opportunity, they would still do their best to return to the life they were accustomed to.

It is the luck of the Wei family that Yingti has achieved this only by virtue of marriage.

And she, the farming player, will always make a fortune with her own hands.

Of course, this is why the "poor white man" Will Benting will feel so identified with her when he sees her-they are the same people at the root.

Roland smiled and looked at Indy: It's time to part ways with my "childhood" partner and say goodbye.

Under Roland's calm gaze, Wei Yingti's face began to turn slightly red.The calm and arrogant girl finally lowered her head, stretched out her hand to Roland, and took her calloused little hand.

"Thank you for taking care of my brother and sister-in-law during the most difficult time, and saving Mei Li and Bo."

"Hearing Meli talking about your days, I sometimes think about it, if it were me... maybe I wouldn't be able to hold on at all..."

As soon as Indy finished speaking, Melanie's scream sounded next to her ear: "Scarlett!"

She stumbled and rushed over, and Mammy followed her with Bo in her arms, reminding her to run slower. "Mrs. Wei, slow down, Scarlett won't run away..."

Melanie rushed straight into Roland's arms. She became thinner, and Roland only felt a small body bump into her arms.

But inexplicably, Roland felt very at ease in his heart.

Melanie was fine, she was alive and well.

The only person in the world who is willing to trust her unconditionally, who has never had any doubts about her, and who she fully supports in any decision she makes.

Roland raised his eyes to the sky: Thank God, it's really easier to get along with Merry than with Ashley.

"Scarlett, are you all right?"

"I was so tired when I got to New Orleans last evening, I think I fell asleep. Ashley got me, he went to see you first. I freaked out when he told me what happened this morning , I really hate myself, when Scarlett needed me so much, I didn't stay by your side..."

Melanie's eyes were full of guilt and pain. She was sincerely regretting that she had only arrived in New Orleans yesterday and fell asleep last night.

Of course, Melanie had no doubts about Ashley.

Roland was even a little jealous of her—this pure Mellie seemed to be living in a perfect world... As long as she didn't believe it, it was impossible for her husband to have an affair?

Roland quickly put aside this stupid idea, smiled and hugged Melanie tightly, and said in her ear: "Of course I believe in you, if you had enough energy yesterday, you would have brandished Charlie's sword and bravely stood behind me .”

Melanie let out a laugh.

What Roland mentioned was the "memory killing" that the two of them had experienced together, so Melanie would never suspect that her "Scarlett" had changed cores.

"Where's Wade?" Melanie looked behind Roland, only to see Pulissy giggling.

"I met a very nice neighbor in New Orleans. She lost her son in the war, so she was a little lonely. I asked Wade to take care of her."

"I'll bring Wade anyway on Indy's wedding day."

But Melanie was instantly moved by Roland's words: "Oh, Scarlett, you are so sweet, you are an angel, and you are very kind to everyone in the world..."

Wei Yingti next to her could hardly listen to what Melanie said, so she came up and invited the two sisters-in-law of the Han family into the room.Only then did Roland have the opportunity to ask about Tara's situation, and then about Melanie's own body.

"I'm all right."

There was a bright smile in Melanie's eyes.

Roland wanted to roll his eyes: This guy is as thin as a child, and still insists that he is all right?

"I still want to have another baby for Ashley."

Melanie whispered in Roland's ear.

Roland: ...

Although she didn't know exactly what it was like to have a baby, she instinctively felt that it was a fluke for a body like Melanie's to give birth to Bo, and if she wanted to have another one, this...

It would be better for Melanie to rest and recuperate for a while, to fully recover her body.

She could only persuade in a low voice: "The future will be long, the future will be long, you and Ashley are both young, why worry..."

——The more you persuade, the more wrong you become.

Melanie laughed happily when she heard her say that, and whispered in Roland's ear, "I read the wedding guest list for you this morning——Captain White will come to New Orleans to attend the wedding."

She held Roland's hand, shook her, and said with a smile: "You will seize the opportunity, right?"

Roland was at a loss: Chance? ……what chance?

Two days later, at Wei Yingdi's wedding, when she appeared in front of people with the groom in a fine silk wedding dress, people all looked at them clearly.

The groom didn't say he was old enough to be Indy's grandfather, but he was definitely older than Indy's deceased father John Wei.

Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief: In this comparison, Frank and Suellen are a perfect match.

The groom is a foreigner, and it is said that he came to the south with a huge amount of property, and he has spotted this piece of land that is being rebuilt-but anyone with a discerning eye can see that his huge property may soon fall into the pocket of his young wife.

All the relatives in the Wei family are sincerely happy for Indy.

Because in this way, the Wei family can easily rely on the support of their in-laws and return to their original class - no need to worry about livelihood, no need to engage in manual labor, no need to live in humility under the eaves of others... Guests We all think so.

Roland took Wade to the wedding.There was a group of children of the same age here, and she was pleased to see that Wade seemed bright and educated among the children-Mrs. Munro taught very well, which made her incompetent "mother" look good .

"That's the only son of the Han family, right?"

Roland didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Mrs. Merryweather and Mrs. Elsing who were really gossiping.

She was too lazy to chat with these two, so she didn't turn her head to greet them, and pretended not to hear them.

But the two of them didn't see her either, and continued to chat.

"Oh, it's a pity. His mother always wants to be brave and do such an inappropriate job by herself."

"Yes, my Maybelle baked pies a while ago, just as a symbol of subsidies to subsidize the family. But she has to support the whole family by herself."

"If she is really so capable, where will she put all the men in the world?"

"No, there was such a big mess two days ago. I said that her business is not proper. "

"Han Charlie is afraid that he will be heartbroken under the nine springs."

Roland wanted to laugh: Charlie Han dares to be heartbroken?Are you really not afraid of being caught by her request to the producer?

Unexpectedly, a deep and pleasant male voice rang in her ears at the right time: "Scarlett, what did you do to make your husband feel heartbroken under the nine springs?"

Roland turned his face and met a pair of lazy black eyes.

But this person's voice is not too low, not only Roland heard it, but also the two gossips over there - the skirt suddenly rustled, and the two wives quickly left the children's side, as if they couldn't bear to be with them. The man and woman stay together.

Ruide rubbed his nose innocently: "I just repeated what they said, why are they all so scared and ran away?"
