After the workers left, Chen Yang and Uncle Niu stood in place for a while.
Uncle Niu was so pleased with the temporary stall that he kept gazing at it from a short distance.
His face was filled with smiles.
âYang Zi, thank you so much.
You helped me out all morning and havenât even had breakfast yet, right?
Come on!
Letâs go to my house to eat, and Iâll drink with you properly again.â
Suddenly, Uncle Niu grabbed Chen Yangâs hand enthusiastically, wanting to take him back for a meal.
Chen Yang hadnât felt hungry yet, but Uncle Niuâs reminder made him realize it was already quite late.
âNo, no, Uncle Niu, I have people at home.
I canât come over today.â Chen Yang quickly waved his hands to refuse, as he had promised to cook lunch for Li Han and Wu Kexin.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Niu immediately said, âYou have people?
Well, why not bring them along?
Itâs more lively with more people.â
âReally, itâs not necessary, Uncle Niu.
You go eat first.
Next time I have the chance, Iâll treat you, and we can drink properly again,â Chen Yang replied with a smile, declining once again.
Seeing that Chen Yang really was not interested, Uncle Niu did not insist further.
âAlright then, if itâs not convenient for you today, letâs leave it.
But Iâm really thankful for your help with the stall.
When youâre free, let me know.
I must treat you to a meal again,â Uncle Niu said with a smile.
âMm-hmm, okay, Uncle Niu.â
Chen Yang nodded in agreement, and then Uncle Niu, very satisfied, left Chen Yangâs place to prepare his meal.
After watching Uncle Niu leave, Chen Yang immediately rushed to the village office.
It was already two oâclock.
He didnât know if the two women had eaten or not, and it would be trouble if they were still waiting for him.
Having been hungry for so long, wouldnât they complain?
Thus, Chen Yang hurried to the village office with the fastest speed and found the two women in the office.
Wu Kexin was busy at her desk, while Li Han, bored to death, sat on a nearby stool, looking at her phone.
Seeing Chen Yang, both women jumped up, fuming.
âChen Yang!
Why did you only come back now?
Are you trying to starve us to death?â Wu Kexin shouted angrily.
âExactly, itâs already two oâclock, Iâm so hungry.â Li Han also got up, rubbing her stomach and standing up to rebuke Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, knowing he was at fault, hastily put on a smile and apologized.
âIâm really sorry, I was busy setting up the stall for Uncle Niu all morning, it wasnât on purpose.â
After apologizing, Chen Yang hurriedly added, âAre you starved?
Letâs go back, and Iâll start cooking right away.â
âHmph.â
The two women snorted in unison and then walked past Chen Yang.
Watching their reaction, Chen Yang inwardly broke into a sweat.
It seemed they were indeed very hungry.
Otherwise, why would they let him off so easily?
âMy bad.â
Chen Yang muttered to himself and followed the women out.
After Wu Kexin had locked all the doors of the village office, they returned to the clinic.
Back at the clinic, Chen Yang didnât say another word but started making up for his oversight by preparing lunch immediately.
Despite the rush, Chen Yang didnât cut corners but prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
After tasting a few bites, Li Han and Wu Kexin felt very satisfied and no longer held it against Chen Yang for coming back so late.
âSeeing as you didnât do it on purpose and you sincerely apologized, Kexin and I wonât punish you this time.
Otherwise, we would have never let you off the hook,â Li Han said with a laugh.
âExactly, you promised to come back and cook, and it was already two oâclock and you were nowhere to be seen, thatâs just terrible.â Wu Kexin echoed while eating.
âHahaha, Iâm really sorry, I was so engrossed in helping that I completely lost track of time.
The moment I realized, I went to look for you immediately,â Chen Yang laughed and apologized again.
The two women gave Chen Yang a collective icy stare and did not continue the conversation, instead focusing on eating their meal.
When they had almost finished eating, Wu Kexin suddenly looked up at Chen Yang, âOh right, you were busy all morning.
Did you manage to sort everything out at Uncle Niuâs store?
Is there anything else you need help with?â
Wu Kexin was genuinely concerned about the villageâs affairs.
She was a very competent village head.
âNo need for help, Iâve taken care of everything.
All thatâs left is for Uncle Niu to move the goods himself into the store.
We donât need to worry about it.â
Chen Yang waved his hand.
Wu Kexin was a bit surprised to hear that everything was taken care of.
âThat was quick; nicely done.â
Hearing this, Chen Yang became somewhat smug, âExactly, what else do you think I was doing all morning?â
Wu Kexin glared at him upon detecting the boastfulness in Chen Yangâs tone.
âHehe, letâs eat.â
Seeing Wu Kexinâs expression, Chen Yang quickly chuckled awkwardly and said no more.
After the three of them finished eating, it was getting late.
While they were sitting in the clinic digesting their food, they saw Uncle Niu starting to move items into the new store.
Having nothing else to do, Chen Yang, Wu Kexin, and Li Han readily went over to help.
Uncle Niu was already very grateful to Chen Yang, who had been a great help to him.
Now, for such a small matter, he felt somewhat embarrassed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
But Chen Yang declined all his thanks.
âUncle Niu, talking like that is putting a distance between us.
Weâre all from the same village.
Itâs just lending a hand, why make a fuss?â
Chen Yang said, displeased.
âYes, Uncle Niu, you running the store is also providing convenience for the village.
Itâs my duty as the village head to help out.
Letâs not talk about being thankful,â Wu Kexin added from beside him.
Uncle Niu was deeply touched.
âHmm, youâre right, but I still need to thank you.
Come to my house for dinner tonight, Iâll cook you a good meal.
Otherwise, I really wonât feel right,â Uncle Niu said.
The three of them exchanged looks, communicated silently with their eyes, and then all nodded in agreement to Uncle Niuâs request.
They spent the afternoon helping Uncle Niu move.
By the time they finished moving everything, it was six oâclock.
After resting for a while at the entrance of the new store, Uncle Niu stood up.
âYang Zi, watch the store for me; Iâll go back and start cooking.
Iâll call you when itâs ready.â
âOkay, Uncle Niu, go ahead.
Iâll keep an eye on the store,â Chen Yang nodded in agreement, then Uncle Niu left to cook.
Chen Yang stayed with the two women to keep an eye on the store for Uncle Niu.
Six oâclock was the time when the mine closed.
The workers coming down from the mountain saw the new store near their quarters and curiously walked over.
Upon seeing Chen Yang sitting inside the store, they were all surprised.
âHey, Yang Zi, when did you start a store?
That was fast.
This morning, there was nothing here.â
âYeah, youâre too fast, like lightning!â
A big group of men gathered around the store as if they were observing something novel.
âWas setting up this store not easy?
Itâs no different from the plant up the mountain.
Plus, the store isnât mine; itâs Uncle Niuâs.
Iâm just watching it temporarily,â Chen Yang replied with a smile.
He then proactively drummed up some business, âOpening this store is to make things convenient for all you working up in the mountain.
If youâre thirsty, short on cigarettes, just come down and buy some.
Itâs not far and very convenient.â
Chen Yang had a good reputation in the area lately, and hearing him say this, everyone agreed.
