Chapter 108 Stay Away from Men
Chapter 108 Stay Away from Men
"Luo Zhi, I've finished making that bookshelf. Would you like to go take a look?"
Zhou Shen had been waiting for her, and when he saw her return, he excitedly rushed over to ask her questions.
Seemingly realizing his words had been somewhat rude, he changed his tone, saying, "Wait for me a moment, I'll have someone move the bookshelf over."
He scratched his head, somewhat annoyed at his own rashness. How could he have just sent a young woman to his place? Wouldn't people gossip if they found out?
Wen Luozhi's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected him to finish so quickly. The bookshelf she had drawn looked easy to make, but its structure was actually quite complicated.
When she went to the store to buy it herself, she almost couldn't tell how the bookshelf was pieced together.
"No need, I don't have anywhere to put it right now, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to keep it for a while."
"I'll have my fourth brother come with me to see it in a bit."
If we move it to the shop, I'm afraid it will get damaged by people coming and going. We've already started packing up at home, but there's nowhere to put it if we drag it back.
"No problem, I promise I'll keep it safe for you!"
Looking at her pretty face, Zhou Shen felt a surge of heat rush to his face as he recalled what Zhou Yun had told him before.
"What did you say to my sister?!"
Wen Zi'an came out to get something and saw him standing in front of Wen Luozhi with a wary look on his face, looking so pathetic.
Despite all his precautions, the kid still managed to find an opportunity. He had said that the kid seemed a bit distracted when they went to pick up the goods together today.
When he came back to work, he stretched his neck like a turtle and kept looking outside. It turned out he was waiting for his sister.
"He didn't say anything, Brother Zian. It's just that Luo Zhi is coming to my house to look at that bookshelf later."
Zhou Shen took a step to the side, trying to look at Wen Luozhi behind him. Wen Zi'an also took a step to the side, completely blocking Wen Luozhi's view. "No! My sister and I are going to go together!"
Wen Zi'an glared at him, shielding him like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Hmph! Want to be alone with his sister? Don't even think about it!
Zhou Shen awkwardly touched his nose. "I'll go back and sweep the yard." Before leaving, he glanced behind Wen Zi'an and only saw a corner of Wen Luozhi's clothes.
Sigh! He sighed inwardly; it seemed his sister was telling the truth.
Luo Zhi was watched like the apple of her eye by her family; how could she be so easily approached?
A burning fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. In the past few days, in addition to making bookshelves, he also had a sudden inspiration to make other small furniture, and luckily, he actually sold them.
He will continue to work hard, hoping that one day he can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
"Fourth Brother Luo Luo is telling you, you'd better stay away from these men."
After he entered the room, Wen Zi'an gave Wen Luozhi a serious instruction.
Wen Luozhi grinned at him with a fake smile, then turned and walked inside.
Wen Zi'an chased after her anxiously and asked, "Little sister, do you understand what your fourth brother means?"
He was terrified that one day his precious little sister would suddenly bring a man home, and his whole family would go crazy!
"Okay, okay!" Wen Luozhi waved her hand helplessly from the front.
She's too busy making money to care about those men.
Can love and romance feed you or put money on the table? No!
"Mom, when I get home today, I'll cook a few dishes for you using the tomatoes from the backyard."
She entered the room and saw Xie He sitting in a chair, propping her head up as if she were thinking about something.
Xie He straightened up and looked at her expectantly. "Are the tomatoes in our backyard ripe yet? Mother is worried that there aren't any new dishes coming out of the shop lately!"
Today, someone asked her why she hasn't come up with any new dishes in the last couple of days. The ones she can think of are too ordinary, and her daughter is too busy, so she can't bear to tire her out further.
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, leaning softly on her shoulder, saying, "Why didn't Mother tell me there were no new dishes?"
"Grandpa Immortal taught me how to cook so many dishes, I can't finish cooking them all every day," she whispered in Xie He's ear.
Thinking back, it was her own fault for being so busy with other things that she forgot about the new dishes. The shop needs to introduce new dishes every day, and she can't teach so many at once.
It's been six or seven days since the last time, this can't go on. Tonight she can write out the recipe first, and when she has nothing to do, she can think about it and let her mother practice first.
Xie He patted her little face and said with some heartache, "You've been busy all day at home and in town, how could your mother bear to ask you for anything more!"
She noticed that her daughter's face seemed to have lost a lot of weight and become much darker.
"In another three to five days, the fruit trees will be planted, and then we'll be able to build a big house!"
"My room will be next to Mom's then, hehe," Wen Luozhi said affectionately, nuzzling her neck.
She was fortunate to come here and experience what it's like to have parents and family. In particular, Xie He's love and care made her often think that this happiness was originally meant for her.
Unfortunately, she was just an orphan, so she could only cherish this hard-won love all the more.
Xie He affectionately stroked her youngest daughter's head. This child had always been closest to her since she was little, and even when she was ignorant, she couldn't bear to scold or hit her.
After she became more sensible and understanding, she was still closest to her mother, and she felt very comfortable with that.
"Qianqian, I know this little girl from the Dessert Wonderland."
Gu Yunqi ate as he walked, and before he even reached Jun'an Hall, there were still some crumbs left from the two pieces of cake that Wen Luozhi had given him.
Jun Qianzi, holding the food she had bought for him, looked somewhat speechless. "Don't assume you know her just because she gave you two pieces of cake for free."
He suddenly felt a little sorry for Gu Yunqi, who had been fighting side by side with A Yue on the battlefield and rarely had the opportunity to return to the capital.
What good food can you get during a war? Forget about these exotic snacks, even a cold steamed bun to nibble on would be excellent.
Gu Yunqi licked up the last crumbs of cake, then leaned closer and whispered to him, "This girl is from Shanquan Village. The old Duke and his family secretly gave her some food when they passed through there before."
"Xiao Yan's life was saved by their family!"
He still finds it incredible; when he was watching their family's actions from the tree, he was deeply moved.
He was quite surprised when he saw this little girl in the shop earlier.
What do you want, the prettiest pastries? He's tried all their pastries these days, and they're all delicious and beautiful. He just wants to support their business.
After all, they were the Duke's family's saviors, and now they could only repay them in this clumsy and simple way.
Jun Qianzi paused, never expecting there to be such a deep connection between them.
He had met almost all of this family members, and they were all polite and well-mannered, so he had a good impression of them.
Based on their previous experience selling ginseng, Jun Qianzi felt that he had a special connection with them.
