Chapter 182: Rich and Willful
Yang Qi didn't care.
"It's the same thing every year. Why don't you go today? We'll be here with you!"
Tang Ze also said: "Yeah, anyway, I'm just a bastard, they won't notice whether I show up or not, it doesn't matter whether I go or not!"
Xiao Ran understood their situation and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know your situation! Yang Qi is the eldest son of the family, and you'll be asked to be present in many situations. If you're not here, how will your father cope?"
He looked at Tang Ze again, "Just because you are a bastard, you can't be absent from such an important occasion. You have to let them know that you are no less capable than the legitimate son!"
He patted their shoulders again and tried to persuade them.
"Alright, let's go back! I have Donglai to accompany me, and if I'm really bored, I'll go find you guys to play with me!"
Seeing this, Yang Qi and Tang Ze didn't know what to say.
"You really don't need us to accompany you?"
"Can you do it alone?"
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child. What's wrong with that? Go home! Come find me when you're done!"
The two of them gave Xiao Ran some more instructions before leaving.
Xiao Ran and Dong Lai were the only ones left in the room.
Donglai suggested, "Master, how about we go out for a walk?"
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Well, wait for the young master to wash up, and then we'll go out."
Donglai immediately fetched water for Xiao Ran to wash up, and helped Xiao Ran change into new clothes.
Xiao Ran said, "Go back and get the carriage. I'm going to buy some things. Let's go to Dahe Village!"
"Go find Miss Su?"
"Well, go check her out!"
Donglai didn't say anything and immediately returned to the Xiao family to drive the carriage.
Xiao Ran took Donglai to buy a lot of things, filling up an entire carriage before he was satisfied.
The carriage sped all the way to Dahe Village.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao had just returned from paying New Year's greetings. When she walked to the gate, she heard the sound of a carriage in the distance.
She looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Xiao Ran's carriage, so she stood there waiting.
The carriage stopped beside Su Xiaoxiao, and Xiao Ran got out of the carriage with the help of Donglai.
"Oh, we really are in sync. Did you sense I was coming, so you waited for me at the door?"
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "Don't be so sentimental, it's just a coincidence!"
Xiao Ran pretended to be aggrieved.
"I didn't expect you to be so heartless. I'm so sad!"
Su Xiaoxiao patted Xiao Ran and said, "Stop messing around. It's New Year's Day, why are you here?"
Xiao Ran returned to his serious look.
"Nothing, I was just bored and came to see you!"
"Really?"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little skeptical.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. "Is this true? Could it be that I know other people here?"
Su Xiaoxiao stopped being stubborn.
"OK then!"
But she was very curious. It was New Year's Day, why did Xiao Ran come to her instead of staying at home?
Did something happen?
Just as she was about to ask, Xiao Ran asked Donglai to move all the things in the car into the yard.
"Why do you carry so many things?"
Xiao Ran said: "It's New Year's Day, this is for you!"
"Isn't this too much?"
"Not much! It's okay, I have money!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Having money means you can do whatever you want!
Xiao Ran said again: "Don't worry about Cheng'en. Doctor Xue sent a letter saying that he is fine. You don't have to worry."
"A few days ago, I had a lot of things delivered to Divine Doctor Xue. I also brought some new clothes for Cheng'en to wear during the New Year!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xiao Ran to be so thoughtful, and she thanked him.
"Thank you!"
"Why are you so polite!"
After a few more simple chats, Xiao Ran said, "Okay, the gift has been delivered, the message has been delivered, I'll be back now, you should have a good rest at home!"
After saying that, he asked Donglai to help him get into the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao watched the carriage drive away and always felt that Xiao Ran was strange today.
Zhao Wanzhu saw that Su Xiaoxiao had not entered the house for a long time, so she came out to check and found out that Xiao Ran had been there and brought a lot of things.
"Mr. Xiao is here, why don't you let him in to sit down?"
"Who knows? It looks like something's up!"
"Will you go see him in a couple of days?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "I know, mother."
After some discussion, the two decided to return to the shop in the county town on the fourth day of the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the New Year.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Xingjun to drive the carriage to take her, her daughter and Dahuang back to the shop, and Jiang Xingjun and Jiang Lanlan would come back on the fifth day of the New Year.
When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the shop, she went into the kitchen, made a few of her signature dishes, put them in a lunch box, and went straight to Youfenglai Restaurant.
Youfenglai Restaurant is now open to welcome guests.
These days, many people who host dinners choose to dine at Youfenglai Restaurant.
As soon as she walked into the lobby on the first floor, Su Xiaoxiao saw Manager Guan counting the bills at the counter.
"Happy New Year, Shopkeeper Guan!"
When Shopkeeper Guan heard the voice, he looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao. He immediately put down the abacus in his hand and clasped his hands together.
"Happy New Year, Miss Su! Miss Su, are you here to see my young master?"
"Well, is Xiao Ran here?"
"Yes, yes, if the young master knew that Miss Su was here, he would be very happy!"
As he said that, Shopkeeper Guan walked out of the counter and wanted to lead Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao refused immediately.
"Manager Guan, please go ahead. I know the way, so I don't need a guide."
Manager Guan was indeed very busy, so he didn't hesitate and nodded.
"Then please do as you please, Miss Su!"
"it is good!"
Su Xiaoxiao carried a lunch box to Xiao Ran's private room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
Xiao Ran was drinking in the room and shouted impatiently at the door.
"Who is it? Are you annoying? Stop disturbing me while I'm drinking!"
He has been locking himself in his room drinking these days. Manager Guan has come to persuade him several times, but he has scolded him away every time.
He thought the person outside the door was the shopkeeper Guan again!
Su Xiaoxiao listened to the other party's slightly drunken words and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why is Young Master Xiao so angry today? Who made Young Master Xiao unhappy?"
When Xiao Ran saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao, he immediately put his feet down from the bed, put the wine jug in his hand aside, stood up, and hurriedly tidied his clothes.
"You...why are you here?"
Su Xiaoxiao put the lunch box on the table.
"What? You're the only one allowed to come see me, but I'm not allowed to come see you?"
Xiao Ran smiled, "Are you here to see me?"
"What else? I brought you some food! I made it myself. Do you want to try some?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Of course I want it."
Xiao Ran immediately sat down at the table, looking at the food box in front of him with anticipation, like a child waiting to receive a gift.
Seeing that there were still some food on the table, Su Xiaoxiao asked Donglai to clean it up, opened the lunch box, took out the meals she had cooked one by one, and placed them on the table.
Smelling the familiar aroma of rice, Xiao Ran licked his lips greedily.
"It feels like I haven't eaten your cooking in a long time."
He picked up his chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a bite of each dish, stuffing his mouth full.
"Delicious! Your cooking is still the best! I never get tired of it! If I don't eat it for a day, it'll feel like three years have passed. I'll miss you so much and I'll be craving you to death!"
Donglai, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.
"Master, do you want to eat or be the one who eats?"
