Chapter 271 No Need to Pretend
Qingshan Village
After Qi Xingyun successfully built the weapon, Xiao Cao'er and Old Lady Yang followed Qi Xingyun closely and went to the capital city together. This trip was the beginning of Qi Xingyun's long-planned industrial inspection trip.
However, Yun Liu was full of depression and confusion at this time. For a long time, except for the business he cooperated with Zheng Huaming, all other businesses under Qi Xingyun's name were managed by him.
Why did he suddenly need his master to go and inspect the place in person? Could it be that his master was suspicious of him and thought that he had done something wrong in his business? But how could that be possible? After all, his master should know whether he had done anything wrong!
In this way, the group traveled for several days. Every time they arrived at a place, Qi Xingyun would accompany Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er to look for local unique delicacies and taste them to their heart's content; then they would leisurely stroll through the streets and alleys to buy some strange, novel and unique items. Qi Xingyun did not even take a look at the account books presented below.
After a few days, Yun Liu was still puzzled. Finally, he could no longer suppress his doubts and asked Yun Er, "Second brother, tell me, is it because the master suspected that I had tampered with the business that he personally came to inspect the property?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Er rolled his eyes at him and responded unhappily, "In my opinion, look at what the master has been doing along the way. It doesn't look like he is doing a serious inspection at all!"
Yun Liu nodded thoughtfully, then muttered to himself, "It's not like that. I think the master's trip this time is more like traveling and enjoying a leisurely time."
"It's good that you know it. Why ask so many questions? Just do what you should do. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, or you'll be thrown back to the base for reconstruction." Yun Er reminded.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Several people were sitting around an antique restaurant. Xiao Caoer was sitting at the table, holding chopsticks in one hand and a piece of freshly baked, steaming hot cake in the other, eating with gusto. She raised her head, with some cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth, and asked curiously, "Brother Xingyun, I heard that you seem to have some business here, is it true?"
Qi Xingyun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, you can say that. In fact, it was made in cooperation with Hua Ming." As he spoke, he picked up a pair of serving chopsticks and carefully picked up a piece of exquisite cake for Old Lady Yang who was sitting next to him. He gently placed it on the plate in front of her, and then said expectantly, "Grandma, please try this cake. It was made according to the recipe given by Xiao Caoer. You have always been the best at tasting delicious food. Please try it and see if there is anything that needs to be improved."
Since this period of time, they have been together day and night, and their feelings have become increasingly deep. Unconsciously, Qi Xingyun has changed the way he addresses Old Lady Yang to the affectionate "Grandma". And Old Lady Yang is so happy about this new name.
Thinking back to the time when she first met Qi Xingyun, he was still a young boy. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed, and the boy has grown up and become mature and stable. Whenever thinking of this, Old Lady Yang would sigh that time flies, and at the same time, she would feel sincerely gratified and proud of Qi Xingyun's achievements today.
"Oh, how could I know how to taste food! No matter what goes into my mouth, it tastes delicious. It's simply impossible for me to give any advice." Old Mrs. Yang knew it very well. She knew that she had no ability to taste food. Qi Xingyun was just trying to make her happy. How could she really expect her to give any useful suggestions?
At this time, Xiao Cao'er, who was eating happily on the side, said incoherently with a mouthful of food: "Grandma, I think you know how to eat! We have tried so many kinds of food these days, and you can talk about each one of them clearly and analyze them into one, two, and three points. Isn't this knowing how to eat!" As she said that, she stuffed another big mouthful of food into her mouth, completely disregarding her image.
According to the idea she and Old Lady Yang discussed privately, "Brother Xingyun is not an outsider. We have known him since childhood. How could Brother Xingyun not know what I look like? Why do I have to pretend to be reserved in front of him? Aren't you tired? Even if I pretend to be like him, Brother Xingyun will be tired of watching me."
Old Lady Yang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's okay to pretend a little in front of others, but there's no need to be so restrained in front of Xingyun."
Qi Xingyun quickly agreed with a smile: "Grandma, we are all family, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable, don't worry about so many rules and etiquette."
