Farming fish and water love each other

Chapter 64

Yan Xiaoyu turned around and saw that a few thugs had caught up with the people in front, and they stopped right in front of the restaurant not far away, punching and kicking the people who fell to the ground, and the spectators had slowly surrounded them.

Yan Xiaoyu frowned. Although these people in front of him didn't come to the restaurant to find fault, they would startle Qu Jing even if they fought at the door to affect the business.Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoyu unconsciously quickened his pace, pushed away the crowd and squeezed in.

"Xiaoyu is back, write it in quickly, my master is waiting for you." As soon as Yan Xiaoyu went in, he saw Uncle Zhong had already stood up, and several thugs had stopped their movements. He said nothing, but was interrupted by his own appearance.

Yan Xiaoyu tilted his head and glanced at the screaming man who was lying on the ground, feeling very familiar.

, for a while but can't remember where I saw it.

"There's an old slave over here to take care of it, Xiaoyu, let's go in." Uncle Zhong smiled and asked the clerk in the shop to take the fabric, and dismissed the people who followed from the cloth shop, and hurriedly urged Yan Xiaoyu to enter the house .

"Well, Uncle Zhong, I'll go first." Yan Xiaoyu looked at the bruised and swollen face that had already been beaten, since he couldn't remember someone who wasn't too important, he stopped thinking and turned and went into the restaurant.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyu walk into the restaurant, Uncle Zhong suppressed his smile and turned to the leader and said, "Zhao Si, what do you mean today? You made trouble in front of our shop. What you know is that your gambling shop is arresting people, what you don't know Do you think it’s smashing my business?”

"Hey, Uncle Zhong, Grandpa Zhong. How dare you come here to ruin your business. This is not a mouse under your hand who lost money and came here. These brothers are new here and don't know the rules. I bumped into you old man on the ground, please forgive me if you don’t remember the villain’s fault.” The man named Zhao Si nodded and bowed down to apologize to Uncle Zhong, seeing him waved his hand and quickly directed his subordinates to take the lying on the ground People add up and leave.

Yan Xiaoyu sat in the private room on the third floor and watched the onlookers slowly disperse, and finally let go of his worries.But that familiar figure still made him a little worried, he knew few people, most of them were from Yanjia Village, who was that just now?

"Well, this red piece is festive." Qu Jing looked at the fabric Yan Xiaoyu bought back and praised.He was busy with the restaurant business some time ago, and then his stomach became too big to walk around, but he never thought of buying anything for the child in his belly.As for Yan Xiaoyu, he bought a lot of clothes and gadgets for children, which made him grateful and ashamed.

"Ah?" Yan Xiaoyu hadn't recovered yet, and raised his head blankly after hearing Qu Jing's words.

"What are you thinking about?" Qu Jing put down the cloth in his hand and turned around and asked, "You have been absent-minded since you entered the door just now. Could it be that you were frightened?"

"No, it's just that the person who was beaten just now looks familiar, and he can't remember it for a while, so he gets bored." Yan Xiaoyu got up to help tidy up the pile of fabrics on the table, "Sit down and don't move."

"Well, Uncle Zhong will come up later and you can just ask. I can't remember what else you're thinking about." Qu Jing frowned when he walked a few steps and was pressed by the weight of his stomach, and slowly sat down with his hands on the stool Down.The private room on the third floor was specially packed out to live in by himself, because his stomach was getting bigger and bigger, so at Yan Xiaoyu's suggestion, he wrapped all the corner furniture in the room with soft cloth.

"Well, I'll ask when Uncle Zhong comes up later." Yan Xiaoyu restrained his cloth and poured a cup of tea for Qu Jing, "I don't know if I was overthinking, but the person just now looks like Yan Qiaoer's Ah father."

"Yan Qiaoer?" Qu Jing stretched out his hand to comfort the child in his belly, "According to what you said before, it is possible."

"Little master." The two were talking when Uncle Zhong knocked on the door outside.

"Uncle Zhong, come in." Qu Jing replied after hearing the voice.Uncle Zhong's full name is Qu Zhong, an old man left by his father.Since Dad passed away, Uncle Zhong has been protecting him, and he respects and trusts him very much.

"Uncle Zhong." Yan Xiaoyu opened the door with a smile, and gave him a seat.Qu Jing looked at Uncle Zhong who was talking with Yan Xiaoyu with a smile, and silently shook his head.He repeatedly told Uncle Zhong not to call him master, but Uncle Zhong refused to do so.It was only after seeing Yan Xiaoyu that Uncle Zhong showed his attitude towards his own children. I have to say that Yan Xiaoyu himself has a feeling of closeness.

"Well, I listened to it just now. I heard that Zhao Si said that the man's surname was Yan, and that his younger brother had appointed a scholar." Qu Zhong was talking to Yan Xiaoyu about the person who was beaten just now. , I met Qu Jing for a long time without saying a word, then looked up, "What's the matter, little master?"

"I'm fine." Qu Jing shook his head, "Xiao Yu is sure who that person is?"

"Well, according to what Uncle Zhong said, that person should be Yan Liu." Yan Xiaoyu nodded and said, "It's just strange. Although Yan Liu doesn't usually do serious things, he never gambles."

"Okay, don't think about it." Uncle Zhong smiled and patted Yan Xiaoyu's head, turned to Qu Jing and said, "Little master will enter the twelfth lunar month tomorrow, and everything is almost packed. I am thinking about letting Xiao Le Looking at the restaurant, Xiaoyu and I first sent some things to Yanjia Village. Since the little master is going to celebrate the New Year, no matter what, the old servant will go to pay his respects."

"No need for Uncle Zhong." Before Qu Jing could say anything, Xiao Yu quickly waved his hand and refused, "My father and mother are farmers, and there are no such polites. .”

"Courtesy can't be spent, Xiaoyu, you can honestly lead the way for Uncle Zhong tomorrow." Qu Jing could not refuse, "Uncle Zhong will be entrusted to you."

"Naturally." Uncle Zhong nodded with a smile, "It's almost time for dinner, my little master, let's see what I want to eat and I'll tell the kitchen to bring it up."

"Uncle Zhong can figure it out, send more Xiaoyu's favorite food, I don't have an appetite." Qu Jing nodded and watched Qu Zhong go out.

Not to mention here how Qu Jing and Yan Xiaoyu argued because of the gift list for going back tomorrow, but said that Yan Liu who was taken away by Zhao Si is suffering terribly at the moment.

Yan Liu also knew that he had always been an irresponsible person, but since most people in the village were honest farmers, no one would really care about him as long as he was playing tricks, but he had never been beaten.The thugs in this gambling house put all their strength into hitting the inconspicuous but painful places, and these three or two hits would kill him half of his life.

"The good man, spare your life, the good man, spare your life, the little one will never dare again!" Yan Liu yelled while laying on the ground, hugging his head.

"Stop!" Zhao Sihe retreated a few thugs, stood up from the chair, walked over slowly, turned the person on his toes and looked at the beaten nose and swollen face in disgust, Yan Liu, who was crying with snot all over his face, hooked the corners of his mouth He sneered and said, "Run, why don't you run away. Hmph, what kind of place is our Tongle Casino? If you lose money, you want to run away."

"Master Zhao, please forgive me, Master Zhao, I don't dare anymore." Yan Liu got up and hugged Zhao Si's leg and begged, "I'm thinking about going home to get money, I never thought about running away, Zhao Si Lord, don't let the brothers fight, I will pay back the money right away."

"Repay the money?" Zhao Si kicked the man away and sat back on the chair, "That's not what you said this morning. Didn't you yell that your sixth master has no money and let us take care of it?"

"If you have money, if you really have it, Mr. Zhao, you trust me, you trust me." Yan Liu crawled forward and hugged Zhao Si's feet begging for mercy: "Really, I'm serious, tomorrow my little brother When my son got married, my father-in-law was Lizheng in Zhaojia Village, and my future brother-in-law was a scholar and very rich! My little brother listened to me the most and would definitely give me money! Master Zhao, Master Zhao, you just Give me another day!"

Looking at Yan Liu lying on his feet crying with snot and saliva dripping everywhere, Zhao Si turned his head in disgust.

"Okay, I'll give you another day. Old ten, you can follow him to get the money tomorrow, if he still dares to play tricks..." Zhao Si paused, then bent down and grabbed Yan Liu's hair to pull him up Staring into his eyes, he said, "Then chop off his gambling hands!"

Yan Liu didn't dare to look up at Zhao Si's face at all, just kept his head down and said "dare not".He didn't stop until Zhao Si led the others away, and the man called Old Ten stepped forward and kicked him.

"Okay, hurry up, it's getting dark now, pack up and rest quickly, I'll go to your house to ask for money tomorrow morning." Old Ten turned his head, climbed to the only bed in the house and lay down Excuse me, "Be honest, young master. I'm so exhausted, it's all because of you, or else I'm not sure where I am now..."

Yan Liu dared to look up when he heard the yelling and cursing from above his head getting quieter.Seeing that Old Ten was asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly moved to the corner farthest from the bed and shrank.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Xiaoyu and Uncle Zhong drove the carriage to Yanjia Village. Because the carriage was loaded with a lot of things, it was not easy to bump, so the road was relatively slow.

Most people in the village travel by walking, and those from better off families buy donkeys or mules.Travel tools such as carriages are only available to the big households in the town, so Yan Xiaoyu is somewhat worried that people in the village will see and keep asking.

However, things did not develop in the direction that Yan Xiaoyu was worried about. They entered the village only to find that everyone in the village had gone to Yan Qiaoer's house to watch the fun.It's winter and the big guys are all free. It's rare to have a happy event and they are very willing to join in the personal occasion, and this time when Yan Qiaoer got engaged, she put on a lot of face for the sake of face. Send out happy candy melon seeds.Yan Xiaoyu didn't care about this, he hurriedly urged Qu Zhong to drive the carriage towards his home.

Because Qu Zhong didn't mention the fact that he came to the house, Yan Shan and others came out to welcome the carriage when the carriage arrived at the door.Seeing Qu Zhong bowing again, he felt awkward and at a loss as to what to do if he gave the gift.

Originally, Yan Shan wanted to keep Qu Zhong for dinner before leaving, but Qu Zhong said that things in the restaurant were too busy and he had to rush back as soon as possible, so he refused to stay.Just because he had to explain something, Yan Xiaoyu stayed and waited for Yan Dali to take him with him when he went to town the next day.
