Chapter 341 - 337: Uniformly Frustrated
——————
Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua, this couple, are still quite reserved. Seeing Zhang Shanni return safely, they felt relieved, and since they didn’t notice anything wrong with Zhang Shanni, they let her go upstairs.
The couple stayed in the shop and did not follow upstairs.
Firstly, business has been better lately and customers come from time to time to buy braised meat.
Another point is that both of their temperaments are quite good, one being the village accountant and the other the village registrar, both are quite magnanimous.
Indeed, having lived here for a while, they finally found a few like-minded old men and old women in the neighborhood.
Although they initially struggled with the language barrier and spoke Mandarin haltingly, over time, as everyone got used to each other’s local accents and speaking speeds, they gradually began to communicate.
Interacting with the elderly is the simplest; they either smoke, play cards, or play chess, and the day passes by.
Because his spouse was sick, Xie Tiesheng no longer smoked water pipes. He certainly knew how to play cards, but he preferred playing chess. Luckily, there were quite a few old men in the nearby streets who liked and knew how to play chess, and Xie Tiesheng found companions who shared his hobby.
Due to running the shop, he couldn’t leave to play, but since he owned the shop, there were always teas available. With only two or three old men who got along well with him, it was just right to invite them over for a game of chess.
