People in the pastoral: Sign in to the life and death system at the beginning!

235. Penny

The new store became an instant hit, and while Chen Youcai was happy, he also resumed his previous routine, making his life busy and fulfilling.

A small restaurant in the village was also built on the open space next to the big locust tree.

Chen Dazhuang resigned from the engineering team to help Aunt Xu, and the relationship between the two became warmer day by day, which made Chen Youcai secretly happy.

This afternoon, Chen Youcai had just got off work from the hospital, and wanted to go to a small restaurant for dinner, but on the way, he ran into Chen Daqiang who was in a hurry.

"You are talented, something happened, the donation of 500 million yuan, I don't know why, let the villagers know!"

With a bitter face, Chen Daqiang pulled Chen Youcai to the side of the road, looked around, then lowered his voice and kept sighing.

"Now people in the village are clamoring for the money to be distributed, and some people call me evil, saying that they want to blackmail the money... Am I, Chen Daqiang, that kind of person?"

Hearing this, Chen Youcai was a little dumbfounded. It was originally a good thing, but in the end, it turned into this situation if he didn't pay attention.

"So, what should we do now?"

Chen Youcai collected himself, followed Chen Daqiang's example, and asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do, let's divide the money. If the money stays in the account of the village committee for one more day, I will have to be stabbed in the back by the villagers for one more day..."

Chen Daqiang finished speaking with a dark face, but Chen Youcai was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Directly divide the money??"

"Hmph, no matter how much money is given, they will probably secretly smash the windows of my house."

Chen Daqiang pulled Chen Youcai up and left, angrily said: "If you divide it, you will divide it, give them the money, hoho, if it's clean, it will be quiet!"

Sure enough, he met many villagers along the way, and they all cast strange glances at Chen Youcai and the two, and some secretly pointed and whispered something.

Chen Youcai felt his scalp go numb, and those strange eyes made him feel like a light on his back, wishing he could run away in despair.

When we arrived at the small restaurant, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, the diners were gone, and the small restaurant was about to close.

Seeing Chen Youcai coming in a hurry, Chen Dazhuang, Aunt Xu and the others behind the cabinet were quite surprised, they rushed up to meet them and asked non-stop.

"Don't ask, I will immediately notify every household in every village to come here for a meeting to discuss major issues!"

In the small cubicle on the second floor, there are loudspeakers and other things. In the past, these things were stored in Chen Daqiang's home. Now that the small restaurant is built, this small cubicle has also become the base of the Chenjiacun Propaganda Department.

"Every village, every village, pay attention. Come to the restaurant for a meeting at six o'clock, and come to the restaurant for a meeting at six o'clock. If you are late or don't come, don't regret it in the future!"

After a while, Chen Daqiang's loud voice came from the tweeter on the big locust tree outside the door, which made Chen Youcai's eardrums buzz.

Chen Youcai had participated in this kind of lively scene of village collective meeting several times in the past.

Looking at the villagers who came with small benches, he took the opportunity to sneak to the back kitchen of the restaurant, found some leftovers, and planned to fill his stomach before talking.

Not long after, the lobby of the restaurant was full of people. Chen Youcai sat in the corner of the back kitchen, cleaned the food in two or three strokes, and was about to wipe his mouth and slip out when a gentle voice that seemed familiar came from behind him.

"Drink some water, you are eating too fast."

A bright wrist stretched out, Chen Youcai caught the water glass subconsciously, turned his head to look blankly, and was so startled that he almost bit his tongue.

I saw a girl wearing an apron, smiling and tidying up the dishes, she was the previous blind date Luo Xiaocui!

"How will you be here?"

Chen Youcai hesitated for a while, put down the water glass that was brought to his lips, and asked in a puzzled manner.

"I lost my job and needed money to pay off my debts. I heard that Aunt Xu was recruiting, so I came here."

Luo Xiaocui bit her lip, her pretty face flushed slightly, she seemed a little shy: "I, I have always wanted to find a chance to say sorry to you in person..."

"...It's nothing, it's over."

Chen Youcai's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but carefully looked at Luo Xiaocui's eyes. How long has it been since we last saw each other, it feels like a different person.

"Then, will you forgive me?"

Luo Xiaocui stopped working, and looked sideways at Chen Youcai, her almond eyes were bright and moving, but there was a hint of tenderness and pity.

If other people see this appearance, they will definitely feel sympathy in their hearts, and they may just agree to the words.

However, what she was facing was Chen Youcai, the person who had witnessed Luo Xiaocui's true face.

The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change... Chen Youcai would not easily believe that a gold digger who is full of lies and whose eyes are high above her head will become gentle and pleasant in just a few days.

No matter what the other party's plans were, Chen Youcai was unwilling to have too much contact with him.

Wen Yan just frowned slightly, then wiped his mouth with a tissue, and left the back kitchen.

"..."

Luo Xiaocui's face froze slightly, watching Chen Youcai's back disappearing at the door, a look of resentment could not help but appear in his eyes.

She took a few deep breaths, tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart, and followed out with her head buried, keeping a few steps away from Chen Youcai.

"...What are you doing with me?"

The restaurant lobby was already full of quarrels, and the villagers were all clamoring, asking the village chief Chen Daqiang to take out the 500 million donation and distribute it equally to each household.

Chen Youcai stood behind the crowd with his arms folded. Out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the beautiful figure behind him, and his face immediately sank.

"I just want your forgiveness. What happened before was all my fault. I regret it already. I will change it in the future..."

Luo Xiaocui lowered her head, her pale fingers twisted into balls, what she said was aggrieved.

If other people saw this scene, they might think that the cold-faced Chen Youcai betrayed his heart and failed the girl's wishes.

"I said, everything is over, I don't want to say anything more."

Chen Youcai said calmly without turning his head: "If you are willing to come to work, that is your business and has nothing to do with me."

"However, if you have other thoughts, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass yourself again."

After saying this, seeing that the hall was full of people, the noise was almost overwhelming. It is estimated that there will be no result tonight.

Chen Youcai simply turned around and went out, went back to his small courtyard to tidy up, and prepared to call Zhao Xiaolin to the Zhangjia Town food court together.

The business in the store is booming. Although many old customers are complaining about the "ordering system" introduced by Zhang Dagui, at least there is no need to queue up, which saves the trouble of returning home disappointed.

The passenger flow is under control, but it can't hold back the enthusiasm of the diners. The restaurant's order schedule has been scheduled for a week later, which makes Zhang Dagui and Aunt Zhang both happy and worried.

The shortage of manpower has reached a point that cannot be ignored. Chen Youcai originally wanted his father and aunt Xu to come and help.

However, the small restaurant also couldn't get away. The two elders were exhausted during the day, so it was not easy for them to suffer again at night.

When we arrived at the teppanyaki restaurant in the Zhangjia Town food court, it was only around [-]:[-] p.m., but some diners who had ordered meals in advance came early and sat eagerly waiting for the food to be served.

"Master Chen is here."

"Good evening everyone, hehe."

As soon as Chen Youcai and the two entered the door, many familiar faces greeted each other, and Chen Youcai responded to them one by one with a smile on their faces.

After entering the back kitchen, I put on my apron and started to get busy. The teppanyaki group of four had already cooperated tacitly, ordering stir-fried dishes and serving them on the table...everything was going on in a busy and orderly manner.

"Xiaolin, the food at table two is ready, you..."

After a while, Chen Youcai pushed a plate of fried rice with bacon just out of the pan onto the dinner plate, and subconsciously called out.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Zhao Xiaolin standing aside, pouted towards the kitchen door with a strange expression.

Chen Youcai followed the trend and almost thought he was dazzled, only to see Luo Xiaocui was being led by Aunt Zhang, with a shy and proud expression on her face.

"Her name is Luo Xiaocui, and she will be a member of the store from now on. Like Xiaolin, she does some chores."

Aunt Zhang smiled happily, and wanted to grit her teeth and recruit someone to help, but who knew that this girl offered to send it to her door, but the salary was only about [-] yuan a month!

Naturally, Aunt Zhang agreed to such a good thing, without any hesitation, without even thinking about it.

"Xiaolin, I will leave Xiaocui to you. She has just arrived, so please take care of her."

Aunt Zhang helped Luo Xiaocui tie the apron with her own hands. After talking happily, she quickly went to the lobby to get busy, leaving behind the three chefs staring at each other.

"Luo Xiaocui, what do you want to do?"

The sound of footsteps outside the door faded away, Chen Youcai's face turned cold, and he asked Luo Xiaocui, who was full of innocence.
