Lord, pay for the wine

Despite Yan Anxuan's painstaking explanations and Zong Jinyu's constant help, Wang Ran finally believed that Yan Anxuan was not sick.

At the end, Wang Ranyu said to Yan Anxuan earnestly: "Anxuan, I know that you are always for my own good," and then his tone suddenly became a little low and severe: "I hope this is the last time I will lie to my father. Second-rate--"

"What will happen next time?" Yan Anxuan swallowed nervously.

"Father will sever ties with you!" Wang Ran cast a glance at Yan Anxuan.

"Why? Dad don't want it!" Yan Anxuan wailed.

"Since you choose to lie to father, it means that you don't care about father's feelings anymore. If so, you are not my son." Wang Ran explained.

"...Father, I won't do it anymore." Yan Anxuan replied wearily.

"I think the second chef and the others are also very worried about you, so you can go over and apologize to them later." Wang Ran ordered lightly.

"Apologize? To them?" Yan Anxuan pointed to himself and said, "I'll go?"

"Of course it's you!" Wang Ran said, "An Xuan, I really didn't expect you to choose such a bad way to lie to them."

Zong Jinyu sneered.

Yan Anxuan gave him a dissatisfied look, but because of Wang Ran's presence, he didn't speak.

"Jin Yu, you must have known that An Xuan was lying, why didn't you stop him?" Wang Ran turned to Zong Jinyu.

Yan Anxuan gloated at Zong Jinyu.

"Father, I did know about it a long time ago." Zong Jinyu replied respectfully: "It's just that the shopkeeper did indeed bleed a lot, uh, although it was a nosebleed, we were all in a hurry at the time, so—"

"So you let this happen naturally." Wang Ran took his words.

"Exactly."

Wang Ran looked at Zong Jinyu, then carefully looked at Yan Anxuan's nose, and said, "Anxuan, it's just nosebleeds, how could there be so many? You must be able to scare Jin Yu temporarily, you must have bled a lot!"

"...Uh, it's just that the inside of the mouth was accidentally smashed by teeth, and..." Yan Anxuan touched his nose shyly and said, "I ate too much the night before, maybe it's too full!"

"..."

At the end, Wang Ran looked at the sky and said, "Jin Yu, you went to Zhenbei after lunch, right?"

"Ah?" Yan Anxuan was a little surprised at first, but then he felt relieved that it really was his father!I really know my own mind!He also replied: "Yes, I went with Jin Yu."

Wang Ran turned his gaze to Zong Jinyu, and he nodded affirmatively.

"Do you know who the pig-killer girl is?" Wang Ran asked lightly.

"Understood, he...she has been slaughtering pigs and selling pork at the vegetable market in the north of Zhenbei." Yan Anxuan hesitated for a while about which he to use, but then he thought that the way of thinking was the same anyway, so he just used whichever he wanted.

"Yes, he has been selling pork there all the time." Wang Ran repeated with a sigh.

"...Father, then you know that he is actually—" Yan Anxuan asked anxiously.

"Well, he's a man." Wang Ran interrupted Yan Anxuan, looked at Zong Jinyu and said, "Jin Yu told you."

Yan Anxuan looked at Zong Jinyu, and said slowly, "Yes."

Zong Jinyu also affirmed: "It is true that I told the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper doesn't know about the situation of the pig-killer girl."

Wang Ran gave Yan Anxuan a loving look, and said, "It's good not to know." After speaking, he waved his hand to signal Zong Jinyu to take Yan Anxuan to the front hall.

Zong Jinyu looked at Wang Ran without moving, and asked him the meaning behind the sentence "It's good not to know" with his eyes.

Yan Anxuan asked unwillingly: "Father, you know too? How did you know? What about the chef and Xiao Er?"

"They don't know." Wang Ran turned around and said, "An Xuan, you should go to the front hall."

Yan Anxuan heard his father speak so bluntly, so he reluctantly buried his doubts in his stomach.

Seeing Wang Ran turn around, Zong Jinyu knew that he didn't want to talk about this matter, so he said goodbye, and left the backyard with Yan Anxuan who was reluctant, and went to the front hall.

When they came to the front hall, Xiao Er and Xiao San, Lin Yuehua and Lin An were all working hard, but the anxiety on their faces revealed that they were absent-minded at work.

Except for the chef, because the chef is in the kitchen, the chef has always listened to Yan Anxuan the most.

Seeing Yan Anxuan and Zong Jinyu coming to the front hall together, they immediately surrounded them.

"..."

Then several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent.

Because Yan Anxuan obviously looked absent-minded, his eyes wandered, and the few people had no choice but to look at Zong Jinyu with eyes asking for help.

Zong Jinyu understood and said, "It's all right."

"All right?" Several people were overjoyed and repeated.

"It's okay." Zong Jinyu replied affirmatively. As for the shopkeeper's apology, he should take the initiative to mention it himself!

"That's great! Father He Ran, the shopkeeper, is so kind!" Several people sighed.

Zong Jinyu just smiled and didn't comment.

Yan Anxuan was shocked by the praise and came back to his senses. Seeing that he was surrounded, he said with some displeasure: "I'm suffocated, I'm suffocated, don't be surrounded so tightly."

Several people hurried back a few steps, Yan Anxuan took a deep breath, calmed down, looked up casually, and saw Zong Jinyu's seemingly absent smile on the corner of his mouth, Yan Anxuan was most displeased with his smile like this.I glanced online again, and saw Zong Jinyu's gaze as if waiting to see a good show, and I felt even more upset!

How can I be looked down upon by you!Yan Anxuan thought, isn't it just an apology?What is there?

Yan Anxuan looked around, er, there are guests drinking leisurely, so Yan Anxuan thought about finding a place to carry people!

Then he recruited Xiao Er, Xiao San, Lin Yuehua, Lin An, and the others to go to the back hall with him. Zong Jinyu smiled and followed behind them.

When they went to the back hall, they saw the chef sitting on the millstone with his back to them, looking at the sky in the distance.

"Chef, what are you doing?" Yan Anxuan said.

"The shopkeeper!" The chef shouted in surprise, his voice was indistinct, and when he turned around, he saw a cucumber in his mouth.

"Chef, you're eating cucumbers again." Yan Anxuan helped his forehead helplessly.

The chef swallowed the remaining half of the cucumber in one gulp, then jumped off the millstone, ran to Yan Anxuan and said, "Shopkeeper, why are you here?"

Because the chef just swallowed the small half of the cucumber, and did not swallow it, the juice of the cucumber was sprayed everywhere when he was talking, Yan Anxuan wiped the green juice on his face and said to the chef: "Chef You, talk after eating!"

The chef stepped back obediently, chewed hard on the cucumber in his mouth, and then swallowed it down.

After watching the chef's actions, everyone couldn't help feeling sympathetic to the cucumbers: let's eat less cucumbers in the future!

Yan Anxuan gathered several people together, then stood in front of them, and said loudly: "I'm sorry!"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Yan Anxuan with puzzled eyes, but Yan Anxuan turned his attention to Zong Jinyu at this time, raising his eyebrows as if to show off.

Zong Jinyu's expression was calm, but she just smiled inwardly.

Xiao Er finally couldn't help but said: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you, shopkeeper?"

"..." Yan Anxuan didn't speak.

The chef was also surprised: "The shopkeeper, why did you say sorry to us?"

"Yes, why?"

"Shopkeeper, don't you have a fever?"

Several people asked this question all at once, and Yan Anxuan couldn't help but said: "I just feel that there are some things that need to be apologized, so everyone, let's go to work!"

"...What's the matter?"

"...That's right, that's right..." Yan Anxuan hesitated a little, but unconsciously looked at Zong Jinyu.

"The shopkeeper is in good health, so he wants to say sorry for everyone's worries and worries about him! That's why." Zong Jinyu said.

"...The shopkeeper is in good health?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means literally." Yan Anxuan affirmed, "That's it."

"The shopkeeper is in good health, isn't that great?" said the chef.

"Yeah, great!"

"That way Dad won't worry."

"Uh-huh."

Hearing what everyone said, Yan Anxuan felt relieved, and Zong Jinyu looked at him amusedly.

Then Yan Anxuan waved his hand and told everyone what to do.

Everyone went happily.

Yan Anxuan squatted by the well peeling corn, Zong Jinyu stood beside him.

Yan Anxuan felt the shadow and pressure, so he raised his head unhappily and said to Zong Jinyu, "Why are you standing so high? Why don't you kneel down!"

"Shopkeeper, I think I heard right, what did the shopkeeper just say?"

"……Squat down."

"The chef is really loyal to the shopkeeper." Zong Jinyu said casually.

"Well, it's just a good thing that the chef first said that I was in good health, otherwise I would have to tell them that I lied to them with my illness." Yan Anxuan said happily.

"Why didn't the shopkeeper tell them directly?" Zong Jinyu also helped him peel the corn kernels.

"...Of course I won't tell them directly. It will make me lose face and my prestige will be reduced."

"The shopkeeper should have known that he would lose his prestige when he lied to them." Zong Jinyu's voice was calm and unwavering.

Yan Anxuan looked at his face and said sullenly: "I didn't do this on purpose." Then he complained dissatisfiedly: "It seems that my prestige has been declining since you came!"

"Really? Did the shopkeeper finally notice?" Zong Jinyu said jokingly.

"What? Did you do it on purpose?"

"No."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yan Anxuan said as if remembering something: "I... I seem to have heard you calling my name when I was looking for my father."

Zong Jinyu replied solemnly: "Yes."

Yan Anxuan blushed, and asked softly: "Why are you calling my name? We don't know each other well."

Zong Jinyu heard what he said, but asked as if he didn't hear it: "What did the shopkeeper just say?"

"..." Yan Anxuan expressed his displeasure, and said, "Nothing? I didn't say anything! And next time, don't call me by my name casually, as if we know each other very well. You are just a buddy, and you still owe me 1000 taels! Good!" Work, be careful that I will deduct your wages!" Yan Anxuan put down these words, then stood up and left, before leaving, he glanced at him disdainfully.
