455 Always Embarrassed
Pei Fufu heard this and immediately looked around. She didn’t see Xue Sanfu’s figure at all, and she didn’t know whether she was at ease or disappointed.
Jiang Yue looked at Pei Fufu and calmly answered for them, “Sanfu went to find a place to tie up the horse.”
“Then he’ll definitely be back soon. Let’s go over there. Pei Fufu, there’s no more space here… but there’s a small table in the corner you can sit on. If we take it out and clean it up, it’ll still be able to fit a few people. I’m so sorry for making you sit in such a cramped place, especially since it must be your first time being here.” Xue Sifu laughed.
That small table was the one he had given to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to write documents for them to sit on yesterday. However, he felt that the small table was in the way today, so he put it further in and piled a few small wooden boxes on it.
Xue Sifu squeezed out a path and led Pei Fufu and the Fei Ju to the side of the stall.
When Pei Fufu was no longer holding her hand and no one was paying attention to her and Xue Yan, Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan in a low voice, “Is Pei Fufu the one?”
After that, she motioned for Xue Yan to look at Pei Fufu.
She was obviously asking if this Pei Fufu was the one that Sanfu was going to marry.
Even though Xue Yan knew that Jiang Yue was smart, he was still stunned by her observation and intelligence to piece information together this quickly. After a long while, he nodded and replied in a low voice, “Yes.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came forward to help Sifu clean the table and put some chairs around it after he had moved the things on the table to the side.
Fei Ju took out a handkerchief and helped to wipe the stool that Pei Fufu was going to sit on.
Then, Pei Fufu sat down.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also sat down after her.
“You should sit too.” Xue Sifu said as he poured them some iced sour plum juice.
“I won’t. I’m just a maid.” Fei Ju smiled. As she spoke, she took a bowl of sour plum juice and placed it in front of Pei Fufu.
Then, she stood behind Pei Fufu and waited.
Pei Fufu was used to this behavior. Obviously, this was how it usually was at home.
Xue Sifu was good at reading people’s expressions. When he saw this, he didn’t say anything. However, he still gave Fei Ju a bowl of iced sour plum juice to let her drink it to cool down.
Pei Fufu was here to eat ice, so naturally, he had to serve a bowl of red bean ice for her as well. However, before he served it, Xue Sifu asked for liangpi first.
The two precious children said that they wanted to eat liangpi, not rice noodles.
After drinking two sips of the iced sour plum juice, Pei Fufu also tasted the liangpi in front of her. It was quite tasty and she thought it was a suitable meal for the summer heat.
Xue Sifu told Pei Fufu to eat slowly, then he prepared to make some red bean ice for her. There were too many customers now, and the people he hired wouldn’t be able to handle it, so he did it himself.
It was also at this time that Xue Sanfu returned after resting his horse somewhere.
Pei Fufu, who was drinking her sour plum juice, froze. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at Xue Sanfu.
Xue Sanfu glanced over expressionlessly. He went to wash his hands and then went to the ice-crushing place to help.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and then silently ate the liangpi in front of them when they saw Pei Fufu tense up again.
“Sanfu, I don’t need your help. You should go and eat. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are already eating. You must be hungry.” Xue Sifu said.
However, Sanfu didn’t listen to him, so he had no choice.
He could only scoop some crushed ice and pour it into a small bowl. Then, he poured the same amount of sweet red beans as the other customers.
