Chapter 287 - Invite Her to Eat Noodles (1/2)

Tarico came over soon.

Every time he came back from Beihui City, he, Councilor Liu and Ye Xiaoxian would gather together to settle the accounts.

Xiao Baozhu would also come to help, and now Jin Xiaoyu came as well.

This trip was rewarding, as always.

Besides the part that was given to Li Chengru, each of them could earn twenty two taels of silver, and Ye Xiaoxian divided the silver into pieces, so that anyone who contributed could get their pay. This is the day everyone looked forward to, since every time they got their money, Ye Xiaoxian would give them a break and they could go shopping together at the market.

When winter was coming again, those whose children were growing fast had to buy new fabric to make clothes for them.

Or if the clothes were torn, they would need to buy some new fabric to patch them up.

Also, if there wasn’t enough blanket in the room, they could buy new ones at the market.

Some people went to the market simply because they love eating. The market had local delicacies, such as cold noodles and fresh lamb noodles. Some people would meet and went for a drink there. When they were on holidays, they would come over to enjoy the food.

After Tarico divided the money, he asked Jin Xiaoyu, who had just helped settle the bill, “Xiaoyu, are you free recently? Would you like to go to the market with me?”

Ye Xiaoxian, Councilor Liu and Baozhu were also there. Seeing how enthusiastic Tarico was towards Jin Xiaoyu, they seemed to understand something.

Jin Xiaoyu followed Tarico to the camel team once. It must have attracted Tarico’s attention.

Thus, everyone looked at Tarico and Jin Xiaoyu.

Jin Xiaoyu didn’t expect Tarico to act in such an obvious way. Indeed, young people tended to act on their impulse.

She saw that everyone was looking at her, especially Ye Xiaoxian.

So she thought that she might as well agree with Tarico, in case Ye Xiaoxian still had something lingering in her mind so that she couldn’t forget Baoshan.

“Okay, when are you going?” Jin Xiaoyu asked.

“In the afternoon, I can ride over to pick you up,” Tarico said.

“Okay, but I have a younger brother. He wants to go too.”

“Alright, I’ll change my saddle so it fits three,” Tarico replied warmly.

Before leaving, Tarico turned back to look at Jin Xiaoyu and said, “Then see you soon.”

He looked extremely elegant yet flirtatious.

After Tarico left, everyone inside looked at Jin Xiaoyu.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled, “It’s just that young people make friends instantly.”

Councilor Liu asked, “Boss Jin isn’t married yet, right? If you decide to stay in the tribe forever, you can consider Tarico. He looks like a slacker from the appearance, but he is actually very kind and pa.s.sionate inside. When we first arrived, he gave us a lot of help, which shows that he is by no means xenophobic. As long as you join his camel team, you’ll know he’s a very capable person. All the young people in the tribe listen to him.”

Jin Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t express anything. This was entirely a matter of personal preference. Match-making wouldn’t help. What’s more, if she spoke, it would seem like she was petty and she was afraid that Jin Xiaoyu would hook up with Baoshan.

Jin Xiaoyu saw that Ye Xiaoxian didn’t speak and said, “Our relations.h.i.+p is not like what you thought at all. It’s just that I think he’s pretty interesting and seems like a person to hang out with.”

Councilor Liu asked, “You can’t just hang out with him. Tarico is a sincere young man. He should be serious, plus, he has never liked anyone. I think the two of you are quite a good match. Both of you are so playful and carefree.”

“It’s precisely because everyone is so carefree that they can have fun together. When the time comes and they don’t want to have fun anymore, they can just leave, right?”

Jin Xiaoyu put down the account book in her hands and said, “Well, it’s been half a day. I’m tired too. I’ll go take a nap first and wait for Tarico to pick me up.”

……

After Jin Xiaoyu went out, Councilor Liu also said that he would go back to sleep for a while. He was old and had cast his account for such a long time. Now he felt dizzy.

After they all left, only Xiao Baozhu and Ye Xiaoxian were in the room.

Xiao Baozhu suddenly sighed.

Ye Xiaoxian found it funny and ask, “Baozhu, why did you sigh?”

Xiao Baozhu said, “Because of Jin Xiaoyu. I don’t know why. Although she looks a little skittish, I kind of like her right now. If in the past, I would hate her due to her personality. But now, I think that her personality is very rare. She has the ability and courage to let go. Unlike me, I’ve been dragging for so long before I can really let go of someone.”

Ye Xiaoxian put her hands on Xiao Baozhu’s shoulder, “You have your strengths and she has hers too. She has a temperament that can only be cultivated through tough experience. Before she had such personality, she might have suffered a lot.”

“Sister, do you still hate her now?” Xiao Baozhu asked.

Ye Xiaoxian said, “Why do I hate her? She didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Then why don’t you forgive my brother?” asked Xiao Baozhu.

“Those are two different matters. Besides, I don’t blame your brother. He didn’t do anything wrong neither. We should just follow the nature. I believe G.o.d will always make his arrangements.”

……

In the afternoon, Tarico came to pick up Jin Xiaoyu.

Tarico was the tribe leader who was young and handsome, so he had attracted many young girls in the tribe. Now that he was riding a horse, coming to pick up Jin Xiaoyu in such an eye-catching manner, which aroused many chit-chats among the women in the tribe.

“Boss Jin is indeed really impressive. She only went to the camel team once and was able to attract Tarico.”

“Didn’t Tarico have a girl on his mind before? When he just became the tribe leader earlier this year, he admitted it in public.”

“That girl didn’t like him. It was also unrealistic for him to wait forever, he must have to look for another one.”

“…”
