Chapter 54

54 Who Are You?

Luo Han, who had been full of energy a moment ago, had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye.

When Luo Cheng saw that the other party was fast sleep, he looked disgusted and helpless.

Immediately, Luo Cheng lay on the bed and went back to sleep.

In this world, only Luo Han would be unguarded against him and trust him wholeheartedly.

He wondered if this person was careless or stupid!

At this thought, Luo Cheng closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, Luo Cheng woke up when he heard the rooster crowing outside.

After sitting up directly, Luo Cheng glanced at Luo Han, who was sleeping on the bamboo couch.

Through the light shining in from outside, he could clearly see the bruise under Luo Han’s eyes.

“Hmph, you really don’t care about your life! Your eyes are already bruised, yet you still dare to travel in the middle of the night. Why didn’t you die of exhaustion?!”

With that, Luo Cheng turned and walked out of the room, then closed the door behind him.

When Luo Cheng was gone, Luo Han opened his eyes for a moment. Then he smiled and murmured something. He turned around and started sleeping again.

“You’re obviously concerned about me, but you have to pretend to be disgusted! You don’t mean what you say. Who doesn’t know?!”

Li Xiaoran was busy kneading dough in the kitchen.

Seeing Luo Cheng walking over, Li Xiaoran asked with a smile, “Why are you up already? Don’t you usually sleep for 15 more minutes?”

“I was awake so I got up! Let me help you knead the noodles!” Luo Cheng said as he went to get water and wash his hands.

“You know how to knead dough?” Li Xiaoran asked in surprise.

“After I watch you do it, I will!” Luo Cheng said and got to work.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she simply let Luo Cheng try.

As expected, Luo Cheng really knew how to knead it better than Li Xiaoran.

Seeing Luo Cheng easily make the dough she needed, Li Xiaoran smiled.

“You’ve really learned! You’re so smart! You’re the kind of person that is blessed by the heavens!”

Luo Cheng smiled teasingly when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“The so-called sayind ‘blessed by the heavens’ isn’t a compliment! And I’m not. I studied hard!” As he spoke, Luo Cheng began to knead the third pot of dough.

“Isn’t two b.a.l.l.s of dough enough? Why do you still have to knead them?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and quickly stopped him.

“Don’t worry, there’s just enough noodles to sell today! It’s not too much!” Luo Cheng said firmly.

“Why do you say that?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

“Listen to me and you’ll know! Come and knead the dough too! We might have to knead four pieces of dough today. It’s best to knead five or six! By the way, let your in-laws go over and help today! Believe me, business will definitely be especially good today!” Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded her.

Considering that Luo Cheng never said anything he wasn’t confident of, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and walked out.

“You can knead it first. I’ll call my parents over to help! If the dough really increased so much, there won’t be enough of other ingredients!”

Her voice drifted over as she ran out of the kitchen.

Soon, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu came over. Li Xiaoqing also got up sleepily and the family got busy.

With something to do, time pa.s.sed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, everything was ready.

The family ate breakfast, then packed up and headed for the main road.

When they came today, there seemed to be more people who had come out to set up stalls.

When Li Xiaoran and the others arrived, they were relieved to see that the stove that belonged to them was still there and that no one else had set up a stall in their territory.

After that, everyone got to work.

They set up the stall, tables and chairs, firewood, and so on. The family got busy.

After the Li family’s stall was set up, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao rushed over.

After yesterday’s experience, the two of them were familiar with it already.

Soon, their sorghum buns stall was set up!

Seeing that they had also made a lot of steamed buns today, Li Xiaoran asked curiously, “Aren’t you guys afraid that you won’t be able to sell it?”

“Didn’t you prepare so much as well?” Mao Dao asked in confusion.

“My husband said that we have to make more preparations today. I don’t know why either.” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

Yuan Cheng heard their conversation and laughed.

“Brother Luo is the best! He must have known that from today onwards, there would be more customers coming and going in this pipeline, so he asked you to prepare more!”

“What do you mean?” Li Xiaoran was still confused.

“It’s already the beginning of autumn, which is harvest season. During the harvest season, there are many merchants coming and going. Many people take advantage of this time to transport some goods back and forth to make a lot of money during the new year! Otherwise, when it’s cold in the winter, it will be inconvenient to transport things!” Yuan Cheng explained.

When Li Xiaoran heard Yuan Cheng’s explanation, she immediately understood.

In other words, from today on, there would be a lot more people coming and going on the official road.

With more people, there would naturally be a need for food. When the time came, more people would stop to rest.

No wonder. No wonder Luo Cheng got up to help her knead the dough. He even said that there might not be enough dough.

Luo Cheng noticed that Li Xiaoran was looking at him. At this moment, he said softly, “Hurry up and sit down and rest for a while! When the customers come, you won’t be able to rest even if you want to!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and quickly took a stool to sit beside Luo Cheng. She imitated him and closed her eyes to rest.

When Li Shun, Zhao Xiu, and Li Xiaoqing learned of the reason, they quickly found a place to rest.

Zhao Chunhua came again today, but she was the last to arrive.

When she pa.s.sed by Li Xiaoran’s stall, Zhao Chunhua deliberately made a lot of noise and snorted from time to time. She even glared at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran suddenly opened her eyes and met Zhao Chunhua’s gaze. Her expression darkened.

Zhao Chunhua had been hostile towards her since yesterday.

Previously, she had thought that since they were from the same village, she didn’t want to make things too ugly. Now that she met Zhao Chunhua’s hateful gaze, she didn’t want to tolerate it anymore.

If she couldn’t take it anymore, she didn’t have to.

“Believe it or not, if you dare to glare at me with hatred again, I’ll smear your eyes with yellow mud!” Li Xiaoran warned.

Zhao Chunhua never expected that Li Xiaoran would dare to threaten her.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that! You…” Just as she finished speaking, something suddenly flew over quickly and entered Zhao Chunhua’s mouth.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my wife like this! No one will treat you as a mute if you don’t speak!” Luo Cheng opened his eyes and glared at Zhao Chunhua menacingly.
