"Little boss, I want two bowls today!"

The woman's loud voice was particularly loud in the lively street.

"Good!" A hearty voice sounded, and then two bowls of fragrant Mapo tofu bibimbap were handed to the caller.

The person took the meal for herself and left, and the people behind her immediately lined up.

Chen Xing quickly collected the money, and quickly ordered meals for the customers.

Just when Chen Xing was busy, a particularly arrogant voice came from behind the crowd, "You all get out, get out, let me in."

The guests in front of Chen Xing were divided into two columns, revealing the people who were shouting behind them.

Chen Xing looked at the man with an unusually arrogant walking posture and a few helpers behind him, pursed his lips, and became secretly alert.

Lai Jiu observed for a long time beside him, and found that this little guy's business was better than he thought, and the only raw material for this dish he made was tofu, and there was sporadic minced meat, presumably In addition to making more money, this made him more and more hot.

If he can marry him, he will not be a bull or a horse for himself in the future, the people are his, and the money is his.

Thinking of this, Lai Jiu stared at Chen Xing with more and more hot eyes, and a greasy smile appeared on his face, "Do you know who I am?"

Chen Xing only felt that the man in front of him was looking at him with disgusting eyes, but he didn't think much about it. Hearing him ask, he subconsciously shook his head and said softly, "I don't know."

The smile on Lai Jiu's face grew bigger and bigger, he stared at Chen Xing's mouth and evoked a vile smile, and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, just know me later. Now I tell You, my name is Lai Jiu, and I cover all business in these two streets."

Chen Xing nodded hesitantly. He didn't understand what he was saying to himself. Could it be that he wanted him to pay the protection fee? Thinking of the money he had worked so hard to earn these days, he didn't want to take out a penny.

Lai Jiu saw that Chen Xing was quite docile, and the abacus became more and more loud, and the expression on his face became more and more smug, watching Chen Xing with an expression of impending victory, "This way Well, you give me ten taels of silver, and I will cover you from now on."

Then paused, looked at Chen Xing's face and continued: "Otherwise, you can marry me, as long as you marry me, you don't have to worry about any trouble in the future."

Chen Xing stared at him in disbelief. He never thought that he, a big man, would be robbed of a civilian one day.

Lai Jiu looked at Chen Xing and his heart became more and more itchy. He leaned in front of Chen Xing and raised his hand to touch his face. He opened his hand at once.

, even the car and bucket were kicked over, the rice and the mapo tofu inside were spilled on the ground, and the crowd watching the lively around exclaimed.

Chen Xing angrily stared at the arrogant man in front of him and clenched his fists.

Lai Jiu looked at his angry look, but instead laughed and said loudly: "It's your honor that this uncle sees you. If you don't give money, give it to others, or you will appear in the future. Once, I will let your stall be destroyed once."

After saying this, Lai Jiu said hello, and left with a hurrah with his subordinates.

"Chen Xing, are you all right?"

Just as Chen Xing stared at Lai Jiu and the others angrily, and wanted to rush up to beat him, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and when he turned his head, he was supported by his grandson Grandma Sun came over.

Grandma Sun looked at Chen Xing and knew that he was angry, but she could only persuade him: "Xiao Xing, don't be impulsive! That is the son of Master Lai's family, we ordinary people can't fight it. of."

Chen Xing did not understand, and his tone was still very angry, "Is there no king law here?"

Grandma Sun looked at Chen Xing, her wrinkled face showed a bit of helplessness, and persuaded Chen Xing: "You don't know, then Master Lai has been here for a long time. Now, I have accumulated a lot of contacts, and even the newly appointed county magistrate can’t do anything about him. Listen to my mother-in-law, you have no foundation here, don’t be impulsive! I have also tried to avoid it these few days. You can do it all, don't suffer!"

Chen Xing looked at the worry in Grandma Sun's eyes, gradually calmed down, and said a little wrongly: "Mother-in-law, I know, I won't be impulsive."

Not far away, Qiu Jiuzheng was happily carrying a chicken, thinking that he finally found an excuse to buy chicken, today they will be able to eat that kind of shredded chicken, it feels extra Happy. As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Xing's unicycle fell to the ground, and the food was spilled on the ground.

A bit of doubt appeared on Qiu Jiu's face, he thought for a moment, then got close to the hawker selling pancakes, and asked directly, "What's wrong there?"

The hawker looked in the direction he was pointing, and said with a slightly sympathetic tone: "What else could be going on, isn't it that Lai Jiu took a fancy to that little brother, that little brother If he doesn't, Lai Jiu will give him a little slap in the face. Speaking of which, that little brother is also pitiful, but Lai Jiu has taken a fancy to him."

A dark light appeared in Qiu Jiu's eyes, and soon disappeared again. He looked at the hawker and continued: "If you do this kind of thing in broad daylight, no one cares?"

The hawker smiled disdainfully, "You are not from here, you don't even know."

Qiu Jiu was not angry when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yeah! It's been a few days since I came here with my son, and I don't know much about the situation here. Big brother knows everything at first glance. , I don't know if you can tell me, brother."

The peddler was praised by Qiu Jiu and felt very useful, and told him who Lai Jiu was and what he liked to do on weekdays.

Chen Xing suffered this unintentional disaster today, and even his unicycle was kicked over. Naturally, he could not continue to sell it, so he had to go back sooner. Fortunately, when Lai Jiu appeared, he had already sold almost all of them, and only half of the Mapo Tofu was left in the bucket, so the loss was not too serious.

Chen Xing returned to Gu Mansion with his belongings, first washed the soiled wheelbarrow and bucket, and then went to take a shower.

Chen Xing raised his eyes and looked at the man, only to see Gu Lang standing in front of the table wearing a crescent-colored cloth, his long hair was casually fixed with a simple hairpin, his pale skin was His handsome face added a touch of fragility. His sleeves were loosely rolled up to his forearms, revealing some thin but smooth lines. He was holding a black pen in his sharp-boned hand and was sketching on the paper spread on the table. what.

Chen Xing stood there and looked at him, feeling that even according to their modern aesthetics, Gu Lang was very good-looking, not to mention in this era of generally not dressing up, so A naturally beautiful man is extremely rare.

Just as Chen Xing watched Gu Lang and was fascinated, Gu Lang finished the painting, put down the pen slowly, raised his head to look at Chen Xing who was in a daze, hooked his lips, and said softly Said: "What are you looking at, you are so fascinated by it?"

When Gu Lang's voice sounded, Chen Xing came back to his senses, and when his eyes met Gu Lang's concerned eyes, he suddenly became hot for some reason, and he moved his eyes away in a panic , "No, I didn't think about anything."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's expression of wanting to hide, and did not continue to ask, but gently picked up the painting on the table, as if he was admiring his own painting, and then asked inadvertently : "Why did you come back so early today, did something happen?"

Chen Xing suddenly thought of what had happened just now, and his face that was in high spirits suddenly dimmed, but soon he adjusted his state again, raised his head and smiled at Gu Lang Said: "It's nothing, it's just that it sold faster today, so I came back earlier."

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at him, those deep black eyes seemed to be hiding something extremely secret, making Chen Xing wonder if he had said something wrong.

Fortunately, Gu Lang just looked at him for a while, then smiled at him, and said warmly: "I just think, if you encounter any trouble, you can tell me, maybe I can Help you one or two."

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's seemingly bewitching smile, and was stunned for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses, shook his head at him, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, If there is anything I can't resolve, I will definitely discuss it with you."

Gu Lang stared at the smile on Chen Xing's face for a while, then quickly looked away and replied softly, "En."

"By the way, I made some money recently. When I came back, I saw someone buying chicken, so I bought one and came back. We will have stewed chicken at night." Xingxiang thought of something, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face, "But the chicken is relatively small, and everyone may not be able to share as much."

"No problem." Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing firmly, something unknown flashing in his eyes, "Thank you very much, after all, we can only eat because of you. Get meat."

Being looked at by Gu Lang like this, Chen Xing felt more and more uncomfortable, he touched his cheeks that were starting to heat again, and smiled: "I usually eat yours, use yours, This is nothing. By the way, I'm going to soak the chicken stew first, and I'll go to the kitchen first."

After Gu Lang nodded, Chen Xing turned around and ran away.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's figure running away, and sneered, "Silly thing, if you are bullied, you won't sue."

Then, Gu Lang lowered his eyes and looked at the play bird picture in his hand, and said lightly: "The dirty things should be cleaned up together."
