Chapter 164 The Beijing Trip Begins, Reunion with Relatives Imminent

"What?!"

It was late afternoon that day.

A gasp of surprise came from the hut at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Linghui looked at Jiang Feiyan speechlessly and said:

"So on your first date alone, you made her do self-defense exercises with you??"

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Jiang Feiyan corrected her straightforwardly, “Besides, that doesn’t count as a date, it’s just friends taking a walk at most.”

Upon hearing this, the corners of the mouths of the others present twitched.

They knew about this self-defense exercise; Jiang Feiyan had taught it to them when the group of sisters had a meal together at the cabin at the foot of the mountain.

She said at the time that she just did it randomly, and that she would practice it once in the morning and once in the evening if she had nothing to do, just as a form of exercise.

To be honest, when they practiced this self-defense exercise, they all thought it was pretty silly, no different from school gymnastics.

Imagine yourself by a quiet lake.

A tall, handsome gay man was imitating a beautiful female man, making strange gestures.

That scene was pretty awkward no matter how you look at it.

(Jiang Feiyan: Ahem, I'll lay it out, that so-called self-defense exercise is just the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics.)

Zhou Linghui shook Jiang Feiyan's arm with a look of exasperation:

"You, you finally have a chance to be alone with Dr. Jiang, and you just waste it like this!"

Jiang Feiyan shrugged: "There's nothing I can do, it's too cold. Doing self-defense exercises is quite suitable."

Li Xiaoqing couldn't help but shake her head: "Feiyan's thought process is hopeless."

Wu Qi sighed: "Brother Jiang, you're quite shrewd in everything else, but why are you so straightforward when it comes to matters of the heart?"

Lin Dacheng, who was standing to the side, said, "I wonder if anyone saw it."

"Hey, some people actually saw us." Jiang Feiyan chuckled. "Two old men who were taking a walk came up and said they wanted to practice with us."

"And then?" the others asked at the same time.

Jiang Feiyan: "It would be great to have someone with me, so I agreed."

Others: ......

That's incredible. Only this guy could do something like that.

Zhou Linghui sighed and said, "I can already imagine how wronged Dr. Jiang's face must look."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan suddenly recalled Jiang Xun's somewhat forlorn face when she left.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

So he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you."

"What did he say about me?" Zhou Linghui was a little confused.

"Didn't you say last time that you two hadn't even held hands?" Jiang Feiyan leaned close to her ear and said with a smile, "You've been gone for so many days, have you made any progress?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linghui's pretty face immediately turned bright red.

She deliberately turned her head away: "Hmph, I'm not telling you..."

"I know, I know," Li Xiaoqing quickly leaned closer, covering her mouth and giggling softly.

"These two not only held hands, but also kissed, hehe (*^▽^*)～"

“Xiao Qing!…” Zhou Linghui pouted, her face flushed.

"Wow, this is progressing so fast!" Jiang Feiyan raised her eyebrows, overjoyed.

The girls' voices weren't quiet either, and Wu Qi and Lin Dacheng across the table heard them.

"Hey, you're fast, kid." Wu Qi nudged Lin Dacheng's arm and winked.

"Hehe..." What could Lin Dacheng say? He could only scratch the back of his head and chuckle foolishly.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Linghui couldn't help but snort arrogantly, "What an idiot!"

Jiang Feiyan and the other two exchanged glances.

Well, another day of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Woof!" Little Yellow suddenly barked.

Nobody is allowed to steal my dog ​​food (▽▽)!

......

After the meal, everyone sat together and chatted for a while.

Li Xiaoqing sighed, "There are only about two weeks left until the New Year. Time really flies."

Wu Qi chimed in, "Yes, it's been more than half a year since we came to the countryside."

"I heard from the village chief that there's not much farm work to do lately due to the cold winter, and we expect there will be a holiday soon."

At this point, Zhou Linghui turned to Jiang Feiyan and said, "Yanzi, why don't we go home for a visit? I want to go back and see my parents."

Jiang Feiyan nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too. I miss Uncle Zhou and the others too."

"Linghui..." At this moment, Lin Dacheng suddenly spoke up, "Can I go back with you and meet your uncle and aunt?"

From the moment he started dating Linghui, he treated her as a potential marriage partner.

Since I'll have to meet my future in-laws sooner or later, I might as well meet them sooner rather than later, which will put my mind at ease.

“Sure!” Zhou Linghui’s eyes lit up. “My parents said in their letter that they wanted to meet you, so you can come back with us.”

Anyway, Da Cheng is an orphan with no relatives here, so it's pitiful for him to spend the New Year alone.

Jiang Feiyan asked, "Xiao Qing, Wu Qi, what about you?"

Li Xiaoqing: "Sigh, I'm not going back, to avoid getting upset."

She had many sisters and her family was poor. Her parents not only didn't care about her life or death, but also frequently wrote letters asking her to send money and food back home.

She worked in the countryside alone, earning work points just enough to make ends meet; how could she possibly save any money?

If it weren't for her two good friends, Linghui and Feiyan, who would occasionally give her some good food, she really wouldn't have been able to endure such hardship.

Why go back? She doesn't have the money, and her parents will nag her. It's better not to go back.

Wu Qi: "My parents don't live in Beijing, so I won't go back."

Although the situation at home had improved somewhat, his parents were still working hard elsewhere and had not returned to the city, so he naturally did not want to go back to that empty house.

Jiang Feiyan nodded: "Alright, then you two can spend the New Year together, and I'll prepare some New Year's goods for you."

Zhou Linghui: "I happen to have some pastries and canned goods here, so I'll give them to you two."

Lin Dacheng: "Before I leave, I'll go to the mountains again to hunt some wild game for you two, so we can have an extra meal during the New Year."

Seeing how considerate their friends were, Li Xiaoqing and Wu Qi were deeply moved.

"Then we'll wait for you to come back, and then we'll have a proper get-together."

For the next period of time, Jiang Feiyan went to work at the Armed Forces Department as usual.

During this time, she disguised herself as Fei Ge and went to see the black market honey badger.

It had been quite a while since the last transaction, so when Honey Badger saw her, he was naturally overjoyed.

This time, Jiang Feiyan supplied a large batch of goods.

My savings have increased from over 300,000 yuan to over 500,000 yuan, along with a bunch of tickets, certificates, gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques.

When she returns to Beijing, she will finally have enough savings to buy a courtyard house!

Thinking of this, Jiang Feiyan became extremely excited.

......

She also told Jiang Xun, Teacher Gu, and Aunt Huang about Jiang Feiyan's request to take leave to return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Xun said that they could go together then, as he also needed to go home for a visit.

Teacher Gu and Aunt Huang have special circumstances and can only spend the Spring Festival in the small mountain village.

Jiang Feiyan entrusted Xiao Huang to the two of them and also gave them some supplies, enough for them to have a prosperous New Year.

Of course, she didn't forget the village chief's family either, and naturally sent them a small gift as well.

Firstly, it was to thank him for taking care of her for so long, and secondly, it was also to ask him to look after Teacher Gu and Aunt Huang.

The village chief naturally understood what she meant and patted his chest to assure her that she could rest assured.

Soon, the day of departure arrived.

Jiang Feiyan and the others, carrying their luggage, boarded the train back to Beijing...
