The Li family's blacksmith shop still closed at nearly eight o'clock in the evening, and after closing, Li Xiao and others still set up a few tables outside the shop, and everyone gathered around the table to eat.
The development of the Li family is getting faster and faster, and larger stores have been taken over, but they will not give up this remote main store. This is their root, and eating around the table is also the inheritance of their Li family. They will not
You will forget your roots.
But now there are a lot more people in the store, and Li Xiao has also hired an aunt to specialize in cooking. There are not one but four tables outside the store, and the atmosphere in front of the store is much livelier than before.
The elders of the shop still sit at the same table, but there are two more good blacksmiths, and there is also an additional cheater, Xiao Hong.
Li Xiao bit her chopsticks, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Qin Shuo:
"Xiao Qin, look... you are already very promising now. Do you want to call your wife from your hometown? She is alone in her hometown and she should miss you very much. But the husband and wife are together and working together, so that
Isn’t it great that she sees your appearance today?”
Uncle Wu also echoed: "That's right, Xiao Qin, you can't forget your roots, let alone throw away the chaff, so just call her over, buy a decent house, and take root in Chubeicheng from now on."
Brother Bin was not very interested, but he had also heard the rumors. He had not been with Qin Shuo for a long time, but after experiencing so much together, he regarded Qin Shuo as his brother.
He said: "Xiao Qin, please call your brothers and sisters over. Don't be like me, who regret it only after you lose it. Some people, after leaving, don't know when they will see each other again."
Xiaohong is just a slacker, she is not qualified to talk to her, but she has always wanted to break into the Li family circle again, so she is furious to make her presence felt.
She said: "Yes! Bring her here. Even if she is ugly, it doesn't matter. Aren't you just bragging? Who dares to say anything wrong with you in Chu Beicheng now?"
Li Xiao, Uncle Wu and Brother Bin received six sharp glances, and they all had unkind expressions.
What's the matter with this woman? She always picks up which pot she doesn't want to drink?
The other two good blacksmiths were immersed in their meals and did not dare to talk. They thought to themselves: "Who doesn't know that Boss Qin is bragging? But can this be said in person? How do you ask Boss Qin to answer you? Do you want him to admit it in person?
Are you bragging? Or do you want him to admit that he likes men?"
Brother Bin snorted coldly, and shouted: "Who are you? Is this a place where you can talk? I haven't even accounted for the money you paid for your meal? Get out of here! Don't dirty our eyes."
Brother Bin is very rude now. His gentleness is reserved only for Spinach Lotus. He directly wants to drive Xiao Hong away, but Li Xiao wants someone to accompany him, so he doesn't let him drive away.
Xiao Hong stopped talking, but she didn't leave either. What does it mean to be scolded? As long as she can rekindle her old relationship with Brother Bin, she is willing to eat shit if you ask her to.
If in the past, if Brother Bin dared to talk to her like this, she would have become furious.
But people, once they have money, identity and status, the same words will have completely different effects.
Not only is Xiaohong not angry, she also thinks Brother Bin is handsome.
"That's right! This is how a man should be! How powerful! But next time you'd better not scold me, go scold someone else, I will definitely help you!"
Then, she glanced at Qin Shuo again, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.
"Does Master Qin really like men? Binbin is so good now, what if he falls in love with him? Who dares to resist him in Chubeicheng now? What if he gives Binbin a hard-on position...
...then...then..."
Xiao Hong looked at Qin Shuo with firm eyes. She also moved her position to block Brother Bin behind her. Her eyes were fierce and she had the aura of "Let go of that Bin Bin! If you have anything to do, come to me."
Qin Shuo has also heard those rumors, but he is not ready to explain. He will leave after being asked and beheaded tomorrow on the 8th, so why should he care about other people's opinions?
When Li Xiao mentioned Jiuqu, he thought of Jiuqu again.
"I don't know what's going on inside the Fox Clan. Has Bai Lie's matter been dealt with? Is she still being bullied?"
Qin Shuo knew that Jiu Qu was capable, and Jiu Qu had been the Fox Lord for more than a day or two.
But when he thought about the situation when Bai Lie and hundreds of elders forced the palace that day, he still couldn't help but worry.
"Jiuqu is always young, and Bai Lie's connections and energy in the Fox Clan are deep-rooted. Uprooting Bai Lie is not something that can be done simply by doing it."
He was not prepared to tell the truth about leaving in public, but he still responded to Li Xiao's words: "She... the village has been very busy recently, and she can't leave for a while."
Xiaohong couldn't hold back a "Puch" sound, and she laughed and said: "How can someone in a mountain village be so busy that she can't even get out of her way? Does she want to pick wild fruits? Or pick up cow dung?"
Xiaohong really did it unintentionally this time, she just couldn't control her mouth.
Xiaohong's words also amused everyone present. Several blacksmiths almost spit out their mouthfuls of food, but they suppressed their laughter, beat their chests, and coughed.
Qin Shuo shrugged: "Is there such a possibility? My village is relatively large, with many people and many things going on?"
Everyone calmed down because no one dared to challenge Qin Shuo anymore.
You are the boss, you have the final say,
Even if you say that your village can build an aircraft carrier spaceship, we will believe it.
Brother Bin directly pulled Xiaohong up and pushed the table next to him.
He said: "If you dare to say one more nonsense, don't come to our store again in the future."
This time, even Li Xiao no longer kept Xiaohong, because this damn woman, even Li Xiao wanted to slap her hard.
People became angry when they saw several elders, and the little smiles they had left no longer existed.
Qin Shuo is a nice person and doesn't put on airs, but that doesn't reflect his current status. He still needs to endure sarcastic comments from others.
Xiaohong was really aggrieved. She sat down at the table next door and looked at Brother Bin's back with longing eyes, feeling that the distance was like the end of the world.
Xiaohong finally learned to reflect on herself. She decided to talk less and do more. With Brother Bin's attitude towards her now, if he told her not to come back, she would really not be able to enter the Li family.
But Xiaohong still inevitably complained. She didn't even dare to look at Qin Shuo, she just muttered:
"If you don't have a partner, you don't have a partner. Isn't it good to say it openly? Even if you really like men, beautiful men will line up to find you. If you hold back like this, you are holding on to the awesomeness you boast about.
, that’s interesting? You deserve to be single for the rest of your life.”
The atmosphere at the dinner table became dull, and people's laughter disappeared. There was only the sound of swallowing, and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
Qin Shuo drank some water. He didn't even need to eat, so he just showed off.
However, at this time, a cold voice came from not far away.
