Chapter 182 Scrapyard
The advantage of not eating in a restaurant is that no one will notice that they are eating so well.
Chu Hong ordered braised pork and braised hairtail fish, which she never gets tired of. She also deliberately asked Gu Ci: "There are so many people coming to eat at home today. I'm worried that there won't be enough food."
Gu Ci held back his laughter and said, "Then buy another five taels of rice and five steamed buns."
After saying that, he took out an empty lunch box to put his rice in, and a clean cloth bag to put his steamed buns in.
The steamed buns are not prepared for them to eat themselves, but to be given as gifts when they ask for directions or need a favor.
Of course, if it doesn’t need to be sent out, it will be their dinner.
The waiter didn't think any more about it.
At first Chu Hong ordered two big dishes. She saw that they were unfamiliar and wanted to ask something.
They found a secluded place carrying the net bag filled with food and began to eat.
It is March now. The sun is shining but not too hot on people, and there is a gentle breeze. It is the most comfortable weather of the year.
Chu Hong ate the fragrant braised pork which was fat but not greasy, and a piece of fresh hairtail fish, and sighed with satisfaction: "This is how life should be. It feels like we are on a picnic."
Then he said to him, "Let's go through these two places this afternoon. If it's not safe, let's go back first. We can talk about it later when we have a chance."
She is now a wealthy woman with a fortune of thousands. When she thinks of the money she got in exchange for the watch and the jewelry, she feels that she should cherish her life.
In this strange place, I dare not go out after dark.
She still wants to return to her home as soon as possible, because that is where she can relax.
Gu Ci nodded in agreement: "You are right, I will go buy the train ticket and check the baggage tomorrow morning."
"I'll come back to see you once I buy the tickets. After we check out of the hotel, we can go to the research station to get our things and then leave."
Chu Hong picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and lean strips for him: "You are very thoughtful. I will listen to you."
"You've worked so hard running around, you need to eat more."
Once again, she was glad that she came out with him. If she had come out with her older sister or younger sister, she would definitely not be willing to let them act alone, and they would have to run around together.
It’s not that she suffers from motion sickness, but the buses nowadays are too bumpy and there are often no seats available, so she really doesn’t like it.
Gu Ci's slightly raised phoenix eyes were full of smiles. When he looked at her, there seemed to be flowing light flashing and sparkling: "We are husband and wife, you don't have to be polite to me."
Chu Hong felt as if her heart was gently tickled by a feather. Her old swan, was this her beauty trap?
She seemed to have fallen into a trap.
But the power of the beauty trap is that even though you know you have fallen into it, you are still willing to fall into it.
She also laughed: "You are right, you are my man, it is normal for you to feel sorry for me."
After all, I have had several boyfriends who I am considering marrying. Even if she would tell someone to get lost when she is impatient, she will still comfort them when she needs to.
It was a beautiful spring day, and Gu Ci was content to be with his beloved. He looked forward to a beautiful life with his wife, loving each other and growing old together.
After they had eaten, they started looking for the machinery factory on Heping Road. Lao Jin said that the people from the machinery factory were being arranged to live there.
If they asked for directions under the pretext of purchasing machinery, it would not arouse suspicion.
When we got there, we realized that this place was quite remote.
The two stood at the door and looked at each other: "Junkyard?"
Through the iron railing gate, you can see that the wide yard is now filled with scrap copper and iron, and most of the more than ten houses have their doors closed, making it unclear what's going on behind them.
No, it should be said that they came around from behind.
But there was a high wall behind it, so I couldn’t see anything. All I could see was the tall pomegranate tree and the pear tree, which were still there.
But we can’t be sure whether the things under the pomegranate tree are still there?
Now the door was closed and there seemed to be no one inside, which left the two men helpless.
Not to mention that they couldn't get in, even if they could get in, they wouldn't be able to dig things out from under the pomegranate tree under someone else's nose, right?
Gu Ci touched his chin and sighed: "It seems that we can only give up this place."
"Yes, but it would be better to ask what's going on." Chu Hong knocked on the iron railings with her lunch box and asked loudly, "Is there anyone inside?"
I originally thought that no one was there, but unexpectedly a lesbian came out.
What shocked them even more was that they knew this female comrade, and it turned out to be Cao Li.
Cao Li was also surprised to see them and her eyes widened: "Chu Hong, how did you know I was here?"
"How could we know you were here?" Chu Hong was very excited, but she looked helpless. "There are many children in our village. I wanted to find some comic books or textbooks to take back, so that they won't become blind."
Fortunately, she had a sudden inspiration and came up with such a good excuse.
I admire my own intelligence.
Cao Li really didn't doubt her words. She opened the door and let them in, then locked the door and said, "The comic book may not be easy to find. The rest depends on your luck."
Chu Hong asked her first: "Have you eaten?"
Cao Li shook her head. "I came to see my second brother, and by the way, I am waiting for the truck that my eldest brother arranged for me. He said he would pick me up and send me and the chicken home."
"But I didn't expect that when my second brother was sorting things out, his colleague was bitten by a snake. Now my second brother has sent him to the hospital."
After she finished speaking, she looked around with lingering fear: "There are too many things piled up here, it's so gloomy, I don't even dare to go in."
Chu Hong took out a steamed bun from her backpack and handed it to her: "Would you like to eat two steamed buns first?"
After thinking about the meaning of her words, he asked in disbelief: "Are you the only one here now?"
"Yeah, if we hadn't agreed to wait here, I really wouldn't want to stay here." Cao Li started eating the steamed buns and was very grateful: "You are so kind to treat me to steamed buns."
Chu Hong now felt that this was a godsend opportunity, so she took her arm and said, "Let Gu Ci watch here. When I came here, I saw a supply and marketing cooperative in front. I'll buy you a soda."
If he takes her away, Gu Ci can take the opportunity to take action.
To be honest, if Chu Hong hadn't known Cao Li, she wouldn't have believed that such a coincidence could happen.
They would definitely suspect that this was a trap set up by someone and waiting for them to fall into it.
Cao Li immediately said, "How can I let you treat me? I'll treat you to a soda."
The man also cooperated with her and walked out, not forgetting to say to Gu Ci: "Comrade Gu, my brother and the others just left, they won't be back so soon."
"You come and lock the door, then go into the room and find the book you want."
Then he pointed to one of the rooms and said, "That's my brother's office. You can go in and sit for a while."
"You can also go to the backyard to get some fresh air. You don't have to feel restrained."
Anyway, in Cao Li's eyes, there is really nothing valuable in this scrap yard.
