Chapter 182 Lost
"That won't work?" Zhao Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The older a couple is, the more they should care about these things.

Isn't it true that this is the only way for the relationship between husband and wife to last long?

Zhao Youcai didn't say these words out loud, but Lu understood them in her heart and just smiled at Zhao Youcai.

Not to mention, Zhao Youcai has been filled with joy since she came here two days ago, and his face is so proud that he would show off to everyone he meets that she came to see him, and the smile on his lips is as good as the day he got married.

The uneasiness that Lu had felt when she first came here completely disappeared, and she began to like Zhao Youcai more and more. She only told him to eat well and not to work too hard.

Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue, on the other hand, seemed much calmer.

The two did not say anything extra until the carriage was about to leave Xiaohe Village, when Lu Qiyan said, "Be careful on the road."

"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded in agreement, "Brother Lu, take care of yourself here."

"Okay." Lu Qiyan also nodded.

Then he stopped and watched Su Yongfu swing the whip in his hand, carrying Xia Mingyue, Lu and Wu Jin, walking further and further away.

Only after the entire carriage disappeared from sight did Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai walk back together.

Before they reached the riverbank, they saw the team leader running towards them, shouting, "Mrs. Xia..."

When he saw the carriage that had become as small as a bean, he just bent over, supported his knees, and gasped for a long time, then sighed in great annoyance.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qiyan asked.

"Madam Xia taught us how to make steamed mutton soup steamed buns. We were grateful in our hearts. Several of us found some dates and steamed some red sugar and red date steamed buns, thinking that Madam Xia would eat them on the way. As a result, we got up in a hurry in the morning, the dough did not rise well, and it was a little late when we finished steaming..."

The head cook looked at the red sugar and red date bun wrapped in a cloth in his arms, his face full of frustration, "I should have gotten up earlier in the morning."

It wouldn't mean that Madam Xia wouldn't be able to eat it.

"Mingyue will send someone to deliver some things over in two days. If you want to give them something then, just make some more and have someone take them back." Lu Qi Yan said.

When Fang Linwang asked for pickled garlic, Xia Mingyue was very generous and said that she would send someone to get it when she returned.

The head waiter immediately perked up when he heard this, "That's good, that's good."

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet. Since these steamed buns are freshly steamed, give me two." Zhao Youcai reached out to take them.

"Have you washed your hands?" The head waiter raised his hand to open Zhao Youcai's hand, took out a red sugar and red date bun from the basket, and handed it to him reluctantly, "Mrs. Xia didn't get to eat it, but you got it for free."

"What are you talking about? I'm the team leader, but I can't even eat steamed buns." Zhao Youcai curled his lips.

"Is this an ordinary steamed bun?" The foreman rolled his eyes. "This is a steamed bun with brown sugar and red dates!"

He made it carefully.

Made for Lady Xia!

"It's really precious." Zhao Youcai scratched his ear, smacked his lips and said that the brown sugar bun was indeed sweet and delicious, while comforting the team leader, "Madam Xia called me brother, and we are family, so I am eating it for Madam Xia, right?"

"That's nonsense." The foreman curled his lips, "You and Madam Xia are not from the same family."

You can’t teach us how to make mutton soup with steamed buns, and you can’t stew delicious mutton soup!
After saying that, he tightened the cage cloth that contained the brown sugar and red date buns and hid next to Lu Qiyan to prevent Zhao Youcai from reaching out for it again.

Zhao Youcai, "..." Why are you so proud? If you have the ability, don't ask him for dried meat to satisfy your craving!
But if we really look into it, the dried meat he ate was also made by Lady Xia...

With the experience of the trip here, Su Yongfu was familiar with the road on the way back. He knew where there were villages and towns where he could rest and have meals.

In short, the journey back was smooth, and because Su Yongfu planned the time reasonably, the carriage entered Jinqiu County in the afternoon.

Walking along West Street, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xinghua Alley.

Thinking that there would be nothing left in the carriage when they returned, and it would be difficult to turn around after the carriage reached the narrow alley, Xia Mingyue told Su Yongfu not to go inside, and she and Lu took the things and went inside together.

There wasn't much stuff, and each person had a small bag, which was manageable.

Seeing this, Su Yongfu did not insist. After collecting the money he deserved, he walked towards the car.

Xia Mingyue and Lu walked into Xia Mingyue's house side by side.

Jiang Zhuguo was busy leading people in the courtyard and the kitchen at this time. When he saw Xia Mingyue and Lu, his face was full of joy, "Sister Xia and Sister Lu are back!"

"Mom and Aunt Xia are back?" Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu also ran over when they saw this.

But he stopped two steps away from Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi, and started crying with a "wow".

She cried with snot and tears, gasping for breath. After a while, she choked with snot and said, "Aunt Xia, Wu Jin is lost..."

Who lost?
Wu Jin, who was following behind Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi, stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail. He squeezed in from the gap between the two people and sat down on the ground, ready to listen to some gossip from the brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu.

Black gold?

Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were stunned at first, then they rushed over and hugged Wu Jin's head, "Where have you been these past two days? You scared us to death!"

Then, there was another round of wailing.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, not caring about the tears and snot that were all over his body.

Wu Jin usually likes cleanliness very much and even keeps his own nest tidy. Now his body is covered with tears and snot, which makes him want to show his teeth.

But it did sneak out, probably because it scared the two...

Whatever, whatever, it's good enough for the two of them to enjoy themselves for now.

When Xia Mingyue and Lu found that Wu Jin had quietly followed their carriage, they had already expected such a thing to happen and did not say much.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo smiled and said, "It seems that Wu Jin secretly followed Sister Xia and Sister Lu. This Wu Jin..."

Jiang Zhuguo shook his head helplessly.

He is very brave, but also very smart!
After letting Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu surround Wu Jin and kiss her for a while, Jiang Zhuguo prepared some food and drinks for Xia Mingyue and Lu.

The two of them had no appetite at noon, and only bought some pea cakes to eat when passing through a town. Now they were in a state of not being hungry, but also feeling a little empty in their stomachs.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo did not prepare any real meals, but only made a bowl of sweet fried noodle soup for each of them, cut an apple, and took some fried hemp leaves, cat ears and other snacks to fill their stomachs.

While eating, Xia Mingyue and Lu asked Jiang Zhuguo about Xia Ji's condition in the past two days.

Jiang Zhuguo reported one by one on time.

Everything was fine at the central kitchen, and all the franchise stores were operating normally. There was nothing going on at the breakfast stall either. It had been generally stable over the past two days, except for one cold pot skewers and oden stall, which had to be temporarily added because some goods were missed, causing Jiang Zhuguo and others to be a little flustered.
