Just after one o'clock in Xushi, Qu Ran'er returned home.
Chan'er heard the sound and came out of the house and said: "My cousin is back..."
"Ah, you haven't slept yet?" Qu Ran'er felt a little absent-minded.
Chan'er walked over and asked, "Cousin, how are you today?"
"Forget it, it's still the same as before. I had people apply for official positions several times before the guards came. Alas..." Qu Ran'er shook her head and complained.
Chan'er didn't know how to comfort her cousin, so she walked to the kitchen and said, "Cousin, hot water is boiled on the stove. I'll get you some."
Qu Ran'er hurriedly grabbed Chan'er and glanced into her room.
Chan'er understood and whispered: "Go ahead, he's not asleep yet..."
After saying that, Chan'er went to the kitchen, and Qu Ran'er walked slowly to the door of the room, hesitated for a moment, and then gently knocked on the door: "Mr. Lang..."
After the words fell, Bai Yucheng's response was not heard, but Qu Raner heard the movement in the room, indicating that Bai Yucheng was indeed not asleep.
Qu Ran'er was angry, but she still held it back, and then said: "Lang Jun, are you not going to take care of the current miserable situation in the restaurant?"
Then, Qu Ran'er talked about the situation in the restaurant today at the door, saying that there were no customers and the waiters were wavering.
But until Chan'er came back from fetching water, Bai Yucheng didn't reply a word.
Chan'er placed the water basin on the stone table in the yard and asked, "Cousin, why don't you go in and talk?"
Qu Ran'er left the door, walked to Chan'er, and said unhappily: "No one called me, how can I have the nerve to go in?"
Saying that, Qu Ran'er picked up the handkerchief placed on the basin and dipped it into the water. No matter what, he washed his face first.
"Cousin, wait a minute, I'll go talk to him..." Chan'er entered the room in a few steps.
Then, Qu Ran'er heard Chan'er's voice in the room, but most of what was said could not be heard clearly. Judging from the words that could be heard occasionally, it should be words of persuasion.
After Qu Raner washed her face, she sat in the yard to rest. At this moment, someone came out of the room, and it was Bai Yucheng.
Qu Ran'er saw that Bai Yucheng had a short beard and looked quite depressed and decadent. She knew that he must have been worried about the situation in the restaurant these past two days, so his thoughts of complaining were reduced by half.
Chan'er followed Bai Yucheng and came out and said: "Husband, this is a special period. We should share weal and woe. You and your cousin should stop arguing, talk to each other, and think of any way to solve the problem in front of you first.
The most important thing is to overcome the difficulties!"
Bai Yucheng said with a straight face: "Am I the one who wants to make the noise? It's her!"
Qu Ran'er suddenly became unhappy. He raised his hands and put his hands on his hips to have a clear discussion with him, but suddenly the words Lando said today came to mind again, and the hands he raised at that time fell down again.
"Lang Jun, let's stop arguing! Can we stop arguing? Those things are in the past..." Qu Ran'er said patiently.
Seeing Qu Ran'er say this, Bai Yucheng's face became better, but he still didn't say anything unnecessary.
Qu Ran'er said to Chan'er: "Sister, is there anything to eat at home? I'm in a very bad mood today. I can't eat anything. I'm already starving."
Chan'er thought for a moment and said hurriedly: "Cousin, wait for me, I'll get you some food..."
After saying that, Chan'er went to the kitchen again.
Qu Ran'er watched Chan'er walk away, and then she lowered her voice and said to Bai Yucheng: "Tell you, Lando is here today!"
Bai Yucheng was still stretching his arms, but when he heard these words, he immediately turned around: "What did you say?"
Qu Ran'er took out an emerald-green bamboo sign and handed it to Bai Yucheng, saying: "Here, Lando asked me to give this to you. Remember to take it with you when you go to Youlong Village, otherwise you won't see it.
From Anhuai!"
"It turns out it's him!" Bai Yucheng understood the moment he lived in Zhupai. After being stunned, he slapped his forehead hard and said regretfully: "Why am I so stupid? I should have thought it was him. I should have thought it was him.
That's right..."
Qu Ran'er saw Bai Yucheng hitting him hard every time, so she couldn't help but hold his hand and said: "Okay, stop hitting yourself, think about what to do!"
Bai Yucheng looked at the bamboo sign seriously, thought for a while and asked, "What do they want to do?"
Qu Ran'er didn't dare to speak directly, so she turned to look in the direction of the kitchen and said meaningfully: "You are such a smart person, how can you not figure it out?"
"This..." Bai Yucheng was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Obviously, Bai Yucheng already understood why An Huai wanted to see him.
Qu Raner walked over and gently pulled Bai Yucheng, and Bai Yucheng recovered from his shock.
"Lang Jun, no matter what, you have to go see him. At least stop those stinky beggars from coming!" Qu Ran'er said anxiously.
Bai Yucheng didn't speak or nod or shake his head. He still looked at the bamboo sign in his hand with a frown.
Qu Ran'er added: "Lando said, if you don't go, those stinky beggars will continue to block the door of our restaurant in the next month... Lang Jun, you have to think about it.
! It’s a month, you have to remember that today is only the third day, our restaurant has been in such a miserable state, if we really have to block it like this for a month, everything will be gone!”
Bai Yucheng tightened his grip on the bamboo sign in his hand, and said with hesitant look on his face, "Stop talking about it now, let me think about it, let me think about it..."
At this moment, Chan'er came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, and walked into the main room and said: "Cousin, I cooked noodles, come and eat!"
Bai Yucheng quickly retracted his hand into his sleeve, hiding the emerald green bamboo sign.
Qu Raner glanced at Bai Yucheng, turned around and responded loudly: "Oh, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming soon..."
Then, Qu Ran'er went to the main room, and soon heard Qu Ran'er's voice praising the delicious noodles.
Bai Yucheng was sitting alone in the yard, looking up at the night sky, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Husband, why don't you come inside? It's cold outside, come inside!"
While wandering, Bai Yucheng suddenly heard Chan'er's voice.
When he turned around, he saw Chan'er standing at the door of the main room looking at him with a very concerned expression on his face.
Bai Yucheng shook his head and said: "Chan'er, I want to be quiet for a while. You can go talk and don't worry about me."
"Husband, don't sit for too long. It's not summer yet. Sitting on the stone bench for too long will cool you down," Chan'er warned.
Bai Yucheng smiled and nodded: "I understand."
Then, Chan'er turned around and walked into the house.
At this moment, the smile on Bai Yucheng's face disappeared, and his hand stretched out his sleeve, revealing the emerald green bamboo card again...
