"It's nothing, actually. As their uncle, I can't be with them, so buying them some things is no big deal." I used to send them some toys every year, but the kids were just too spoiled.

"By the way, you didn't go to school today?"

"Well, that's all. I need to join other research. I need to rest for a few days now. I will leave in a few days."

The research will definitely not be in Kyoto, but somewhere else, so I will have less time to come back in the future.

"Oh, I see." He was shocked when he heard that. He didn't expect that the little girl had grown to this point.

"Yes." The country needs talents now. As a physics graduate, she has to join other mentors' research while continuing her doctoral studies. This is full of challenges for her, but she likes to do it and wants to do it.

"Then do your best."

"Well, Instructor Zhou, how about you? When are you going back?"

"It's only been half a month." His injury has almost healed.

"Then do your best." The two of them said a few words awkwardly.

At this time, Miao Cuihua, Grandma Zhou, and the retired Zhou Tieshan outside needed their help.

"What's wrong, grandma?" Lu Duoduo looked at her grandma in surprise.

"Look, we're going to have a housewarming party, and we're still short of a lot of things. If you two have nothing to do, why don't you come and help buy some food?"

Of course, they were asked to go to the countryside to do the shopping, and they had to prepare the meat and dishes for the wine reception this time.

Miao Cuihua couldn't bring chickens out of the space. Bringing chickens back normally would have attracted a lot of attention. Now there were quite a lot of chickens needed for the wedding banquet, so she said that the people on her side were out of stock and could only ask them to buy them in the countryside.

Fortunately, the government has become much more relaxed now, so it’s not excessive to secretly buy some chickens, ducks, etc. You’re not selling them, you’re just eating them at home.

So each of them was given a bicycle and sent to the countryside.

Lu Duoduo hadn't ridden a bike for a long time, so she rode a little crookedly.

"Is it okay?" Zhou Ziwu, who was following behind her, asked worriedly.

"I can do it." She just rode crookedly at first, but soon she got used to it and rode forward.

Zhou Ziwu adjusted the car speed to the same speed as hers, and the two of them went to the nearby countryside. When they arrived at the nearby rural brigade, everyone was surprised to see that the handsome man and beautiful woman were parked at their brigade.

"What are these two doing here?"

"Who knows? Look, they are still riding bicycles. They are rich people." The price of a bicycle is still quite expensive for them now.

It doesn't matter if it's expensive, I can just grit my teeth and pay the money.

It’s just that bicycle tickets are a bit difficult to get. Without some connections, you can’t get such things at all.

"Hello, Captain. We are from the purchasing department of Kyoto XX. We are here to purchase some chickens, ducks, eggs, etc. We also accept dried wild vegetables and game." Zhou Ziwu made up a story to the captain.

Hearing his words, the captain was skeptical, but when he saw their letters of introduction, which were from Qing University, they were in awe.

The villagers were very enthusiastic about this. When they heard that the things at home could be exchanged for money and the price was more in line with what they wanted, they sold the chickens they raised without thinking.

We also sell cured meat and cured chicken, and we also buy some dried mushrooms, dried vegetables, etc.

I almost accept everything, as it's not very expensive anyway. This time I bought ten chickens and some dried vegetables, black fungus, dried mushrooms, etc.

The two of them returned with a full load. The villagers got money and they got things.

Zhou Ziwu put the chicken in a basket woven by the villagers and tied it to the back seat of the car. He bought the basket for one dollar, which made the villagers happy.

This amount of money is nothing to him. Anyway, the money given by Grandma Zhou is enough.

After buying the things, he looked at the person next to him.

She also had a bunch of things tied to the back seat of her car, including dried vegetables, mushrooms, black fungus and other dried goods.

"Isn't it too heavy? Why don't you put it on my side?"

"It's not heavy. This thing is very light, it just takes up some space." She stopped Zhou Ziwu from trying to push the thing towards him.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. If we are any later, grandpa and grandma will probably be worried." She looked up at the sky. It was already dusk. It took them more than an hour to get here, and then they waited for the villagers to sell things. Before they knew it, it was getting late.

Hearing her words, he nodded and said, "It's time to go back."

The two of them rode their bicycles back, but unexpectedly, when they were halfway back, they found several men waiting on the road.

They looked at their bicycles and Lu Duoduo, their eyes shining.

"There are bicycles, chickens, ducks and a beautiful woman." One of the obscene voices sounded.

They stopped us on the road with an axe in their hands, which had been sharpened very sharply. It seemed that they were well prepared.

"What are you going to do?"

"We're not doing anything. Just put down the things on you, and also put down this beautiful woman next to you." The men's faces were covered with clothes, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly. The evil in their voices made it clear that they were thinking about some bad things.

Lu Duoduo looked at them with disgust. Zhou Ziwu didn't take them seriously at all because they had no guns and there were only four of them.

"Duoduo, go call the police first. I'll be here until I finish dealing with them." He pinched his hands and feet.

"Can you do it?"

"It's okay. Besides, I can't run away just because I can't win." He said with a sneer.

He didn't rest all the time during the months of injury. He exercised every day, but he didn't get enough exercise, and the intensity of his exercise was not as high as in the army. Even so, he was not comparable to this group of skinny guys.

He walked towards the group of people. The group of people looked at each other, then looked at each other when they saw him coming, and then fought hard.

While they were fighting, Lu Duoduo rode away on her bicycle without a second thought. It was already getting dark, and the robbers had of course chosen this place where there were few people and even if there were people, they were in a hurry. They had waited for so long before catching the two of them, but they were quite unlucky.

She was a girl and the other person had a knife, so she couldn't help him even if she wanted to, so she could only ride away on her bicycle.

Of course someone tried to stop her from leaving, but it was Zhou Ziwu who stopped her.

She didn't dare turn her head back. She knew that it was useless for her to stay there, so she could only go and get help.

Fortunately, this place is quite close to the city. She quickly went into the city and found the nearby police station. Soon someone came out of the police station.

She followed him back on her bicycle and was a little surprised when she got back.
