Chapter 132 Xiao Nie Returns to His Hometown
The next day, when Zhong Hui got up, she felt that all the pores on her body were open, and she was in a happy mood with a subtle sense of shame.
Zhong Hui took a deep breath, then raised the corners of her mouth. Never mind. She would talk about it when she felt better. Besides, who would know?
Xiao Nie took a leave to go back to his hometown today. Zhong Hui packed up and prepared to go to Xinhe Community with refreshed spirit.
It was a rare Sunday today, so Zhong Hui gave herself a day off and didn't get up early for a run. It was also raining outside today, and the temperature dropped as soon as it rained. She had been wearing spring clothes for a few days, and the temperature suddenly dropped again. Zhong Hui didn't know what to wear.
After thinking about it, I took out a thin woolen coat and put it on. It would be safer to wear something thicker. It would not be worth it to catch a cold.
Zhong Hui finished dressing herself. When she went out, she saw Linlin putting clothes on Keaiduo, which she had made herself from old clothes. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Keaiduo, a dog, really needs clothes?"
"Of course, the little dog also knows it's cold. Look at the clothes I made for Keaiduo, mom. They're so beautiful."
Zhong Hui nodded: "Not bad, not bad, my daughter really has a talent for making clothes."
Zhong Hui was not praising her daughter. The clothes that Linlin made for Keaiduo were really unique. It was a short blue and pink dress that covered her hooves and had a pink flower on her back.
Linlin raised her head proudly. Now she can not only make clothes for dolls, but also for puppies.
"Don't just focus on dressing the dog. It's getting colder today, so you should put on a coat too. Wear that yellow cardigan that Mom bought you a while ago."
Last month, the weather was good, so Zhong Hui and He Yanqing went shopping and bought new clothes for their daughters.
"I know, I know. Mom, you go and do your thing. I'll go upstairs to find Brother Zhong Xu later." Linlin said obediently.
The adults in both families are busy outside every day, and the two children usually go out to buy food by themselves on weekends. Zhong Hui sometimes thinks that her children are really sensible and they don't need to worry about them at all.
"Okay, Mom will leave first. The pocket money is in the drawer. I just put another fifty yuan in it for you." Zhong Hui gave some instructions, put on her shoes and went out.
Seeing the door was open, Keaiduo ran over with a click. Zhong Hui waved to it and quickly closed the door.
Seeing that the door was closed and it was not taken to play, Keaiduo even whimpered a few times.
"Okay, okay, mom has something to do and needs to make money. I'll take you to play with your brother, okay?" Linlin picked up Keaiduo and went back to the room to put on more clothes.
…
Zhong Hui drove to Xinhe Community first. After arriving, they went to a rice noodle roll shop for breakfast.
The owner of the rice noodle shop saw that she hadn't eaten there for a long time and took the initiative to add an egg for her.
After breakfast, Zhong Hui went to the small supermarket. There were two clerks there, one for day shift and one for night shift. She didn't have much to do, she just had to watch the cashier.
Today is Sunday and the business in the store is pretty good. Customers come and go, and the turnover in the morning is over 3,000, which is pretty good.
"Boss, how many days of leave did Sister Xiaofeng take?" There were fewer customers at noon, so the clerk Jiang Xiaochen came over and asked.
"We've invited Xitian. He should be back next week." Zhong Hui looked up and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Xiaochen quickly shook his head: "No, it's okay."
Seeing her hesitant look, Zhong Hui frowned.
Afraid that Zhong Hui would misunderstand, Jiang Xiaochen hesitated for a moment before explaining, "I'm worried that Sister Xiaofeng's trip back home won't go smoothly. I'm worried that she won't be able to come back to work."
"No way, she went back to discuss the marriage, her family should be happy." Zhong Hui was puzzled.
"I overheard Sister Xiaofeng on the phone. Oh, no, I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose. I just overheard Sister Xiaofeng's mother say she had found a partner for her back home, and that the man was willing to pay 60,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. She wanted Sister Xiaofeng to go home and get married and stop working out."
She didn't mean to hear it. It was just that Xiaofeng's mother's voice was too loud when she called. Their hometown was not far away, and she happened to understand the dialect.
Zhong Hui raised her head in surprise: "It shouldn't be that serious."
Zheng Benming went along with them. With his big build, Xiao Nie's family probably wouldn't be able to handle him because they thought he was too tough.
…
At this time, on the bus, Xiao Nie looked at the increasingly familiar scenery, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
They took the train last night, luckily they bought a sleeper berth. It has been more than ten hours now, and she is a little tired after sitting on the train for such a long time.
Zheng Benming was also a little panicked. He was going to meet Xiao Nie's parents, and he felt a little heavy. He touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose and felt less panicked. With the glasses on, it was generally not noticeable that there was something wrong with his eye.
"When we get to the county, let's buy some gifts." Zheng Benming said.
Xiao Nie shook his head gently: "Let's talk about it later."
No matter how much stuff she has in her house, it will all be wasted.
Even though it's a sleeper car, the smell in the carriage is really strong and it's a bit uncomfortable to sit in for a long time.
The bus drove for more than three hours and finally arrived at the county. We changed buses to the town and then took a tricycle. Finally, we arrived at Xiaoshi Village where Xiao Nie lived at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
