Chapter 167: Thank You
Cao Li looked at Chu Hong suspiciously: "Are you deaf?"
Chu Hong originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but she didn't expect her to start with the ginseng rooster. This was too much.
She asked back with a puzzled look: "Excuse me, are you talking to me?"
Cao Li suspected that she was a little stupid and rolled her eyes at her: "There are only two of us here. If I don't talk to you, why would I talk to a ghost?"
Chu Hong immediately looked around nervously, and deliberately said in a sinister voice: "The back hill is full of graves. I heard that someone saw a ghost on a dark and windy night."
Afraid that she didn't know what a ghost was, I kindly explained to her what it meant.
Cao Li was so frightened after hearing this that she turned pale and said, "Ah, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Chu Hong readily admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such nonsense, are you scared?"
Then she introduced herself with a smile: "My last name is Song, and my name is Chu Hong."
"May I ask who you are?"
Cao Li felt that she had underestimated her before.
Most people would feel ashamed when they see how she dresses, and would either try to curry favor with her or avoid her.
But I didn't expect that she was dressed a little rustically, but she dared to scare me and even talk to me.
But after hearing that she spoke standard Mandarin, Cao Li did not dare to look down on her and said with a straight face, "My name is Cao Li."
"Cao in Cao Cao, Li in Jasmine."
She thought her name was nice and fashionable, unlike others, who had tacky names like Hong, Qiao, Fen, or Fang.
Chu Hong suddenly understood: "No wonder, you have the domineering attitude that you would rather let the world down than let the world down."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Li looked at her dissatisfiedly: "I just asked you to help a little, and you didn't help, but you bullied me?"
Chu Hong smiled and said, "Cao Li, you misunderstood me. I thought you wanted to hear this."
Then he pointed to the cloth shoes beside him and said, "I would like you to help me wash my shoes. You must be a helpful comrade, right?"
Originally Cao Li thought she was eloquent enough, but now she met someone who was even more unreasonable than her.
She snorted coldly, stood up and left.
As soon as I opened the door, I almost bumped into Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu said to her, "Xiao Cao, what a coincidence," and squeezed in again, shouting excitedly, "Hey, Xiao Song, get up quickly, your relatives are here to see you."
If Chu Hong hadn't known Aunt Liu, she would have suspected that she was trying to defraud her.
It's thousands of miles away from home, where can I find relatives?
But she still got up, put on her cloth shoes and walked to the door to see who was so bold as to deceive her.
The main reason is that the current entrance is small and is blocked by Cao Li and Aunt Liu.
When she saw He Wen and the two old people, she knew what was going on.
Before she could say hello, He Wen spoke first: "Cousin, why did you come to our house first when you came to the city?"
Chu Hong simply smiled, mainly because she didn't know what to address her.
When she calls herself cousin, is she referring to her as a relative on her mother's side or a relative on her grandmother's side?
Grandma He explained to Aunt Liu, and also to Chu Hong: "She is my sister's granddaughter. I met my granddaughter on the street before and asked her to stay at my house for two days. This child was in a hurry to report here."
"I feel relieved now that I see her, but I am sorry to cause you trouble."
When Aunt Liu thought of the two apples that Aunt Liu had stuffed into her pockets before, she really wished that Aunt Liu could come and trouble her every day.
She smiled and said, "It's not a problem. Just come and see her when you have time."
Pointing at Chu Hong, he joked with a smile: "Xiao Song is so happy to see you that he is speechless."
Finally, he pulled Cao Li and said, "Go and help me."
Finally, he said to them, "The get out of class isn't over yet, it's okay for you to go in and sit for a while."
Although Cao Li acted arrogant in front of Chu Hong, she did not dare to reveal her true nature in front of Aunt Liu.
Because Aunt Liu is the younger sister of Cao Li's mother's mother, why does she also call her aunt?
Grandpa He first introduced himself and then expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Chu Hong also felt that they were particular people, coming to thank them in person so soon. Seeing that they were carrying large and small bags, she naturally invited them in: "Grandpa He, Grandma He, He Wen, all of you please come in."
Although the inside is simple, fortunately there are three benches.
She had no means to pour them some hot water, so she had to take out some hard candies to treat them.
After the old couple sat down, they began to praise Chu Hong, making Chu Hong worry that she was going to float into the sky.
Finally, Grandma He handed her the money wrapped in red paper and said, "This is a little gift from us. You must accept it."
Looking at the thick red paper package, Chu Hong almost couldn't control her hands.
Fortunately, she had seen money before, and thinking that she was now a 1,000-yuan household after all, she finally resisted the temptation: "When encountering such a thing, anyone with a conscience will take action."
"Besides, kidnappers are punishable by anyone, and I am just doing my part to maintain social stability."
"I will accept these food shamelessly, but I really don't want the money."
After receiving the money, I felt embarrassed to ask them to accompany me to buy defective cloth.
Chu Hong also had her own plans in mind. The He family seemed to be grateful and repaying the favor, so she could continue to contact them through letters and ask them to help send some defective cloth.
Of course, she is not Grandet, and she will also find a way to send some local specialties to the He family.
For example, Zezi tofu made from Zezi flour can be eaten in the summer to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and is a rare delicacy.
If you have prickly heat, you can apply some powder to make it go away.
Although this chopped fruit is wild, it cannot be found in some places, and it is also very troublesome to grind it into powder. You have to wait until the shell of the chopped fruit turns brown-red before you can pick it.
If you choose the seeds before they are ripe, the taste and weight will be worse.
The seeds have to be exposed to the sun until the shells crack, then the shells are removed and the meat is dried, after which they have to be soaked for ten days to half a month before being ground into pulp.
The rest is all delicate work, including filtering, clarifying, and drying the powder.
Even if the weather is good, it will still take more than a month.
Of course, this is also Chu Hong’s current thought. Even though there are good things in the countryside, there are also good things.
Therefore, even if the He family insisted on giving it to her, Chu Hong would refuse it in every possible way. Finally, she got angry and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I also want to ask you to help me buy some defective cloth. If you insist on giving it to me, it means you are being distant with me, and then I dare not ask you for help."
This pushing and shoving job is really tiring.
She didn't have the energy to refuse anymore.
Grandpa He also smiled and shook his head: "Since Xiao Song said so, let's not give it to him. We still want to keep in touch with you guys."
Grandma He put the red envelope back into her trouser pocket and said gently, "We won't buy defective cloth. We'll buy you two pieces of good material."
"Really." Chu Hong didn't mind her peasant background: "The roads in the countryside are all muddy, and we have to work hard. We can't bear to wear fabrics that are too good."
