Damn, who?
She turned around in shock and saw the person who had just tapped her shoulder. It was someone who would never appear here, someone she hadn't seen for several years, but who she still kept in touch with.
"Uncle Li? Why are you here? I haven't seen you in years! By the way, are you here on a mission? Or are you on a business trip?"
He had clearly just gotten off the car at random, so how could they have just happened to meet? Too many coincidences meant it wasn't a coincidence. The mother and child in the car and those chasing after them were all his people.
So who is he?
"I'm here on business, why are you here?"
"Don't mention it. I ran into two psychopaths on a business trip who insisted I was their eloped daughter. I was so scared I got off the bus early and planned to buy a ticket back in two days."
He had a frightened expression and looked very aggrieved.
"Really? Do you want me to touch you to get back?"
He looked at Jiang Cha, as if concerned about the child's safety. But the look he gave her was like being locked onto by a poisonous snake.
With cold sweat on her back, a wronged expression on her face, and a pout on her lips, she looked like a scared little girl to everyone, and no one knew what he was going to do.
In my original impression, Uncle Li was a very quiet man. But the man before me seemed out of place no matter how I looked at him. It felt awkward.
"Is there a place to stay? I'm on a business trip here, how about you stay at my guesthouse? That way you won't have to be scared, how about that?"
Not knowing what his purpose was, Jiang Cha had no choice but to follow his thoughts and see what this man was going to do.
"Oh! I haven't seen you for several years. You've grown up. What your aunt did a while ago was really terrible. How could she do things like that? Don't let this little thing alienate you from your uncle.
Are you hungry? It'll be a while before we get here, so I'll give you something delicious. The chocolate is delicious, so try it now. I heard from your aunt that she's very close to Lao Zhao and his kids now. So you've gotten back in touch with your childhood friends from the compound?
That's good. There's no harm in making more friends. If you hang out with them more often, your relationships will get better and better."
Holding the chocolate in his hand and looking down at the outer packaging, it was obvious that the child was very hungry.
Uncle Li didn't say anything else. He helped her carry the luggage and quickened the pace.
"Uncle Li, the chocolate is quite delicious. Did you buy it at the department store? I'll buy a few pieces tomorrow. It's perfect for the cold weather."
Looking at the back of the man in front of me, I was very confused. What was going on?
"Xiao Jiang, you live in this room. We're not far away. If you need anything, just shout and I'll be able to hear you."
He put down his luggage and came out, standing in the corridor and said to her, "Please pack first, we will eat later."
Jiang Cha closed the door and tidied up briefly. He washed his face with the water from the thermos and dried his hair. He didn't dare to go directly into the space to take a shower like before. Who knew what was going on here?
Whether someone might be peeking at you is unknown. It's always better to be cautious.
"Uncle Li, let's go eat! I'm hungry. You've been here for a few days, so you must know what's delicious here."
Standing in the hallway, she called Uncle Li out for dinner. There were ten rooms on the first floor, and she lived on the east side. She didn't know which room Uncle Li lived in, as the wooden door wasn't very soundproof, so she called him out even if the noise wasn't too loud.
It turned out that he lived next door to the one next door, and no one knew who lived in the middle room because the door was closed.
"That's pretty quick. Isn't it really troublesome for you women to go out?"
"Who do you think is Aunt Guo? I don't need to put on makeup, I just need to wash my face. Let's go quickly, I'm so hungry."
Jiang Cha thought he would take her to a state-owned restaurant, but ended up taking her around in a small courtyard.
"This place is owned by a fellow villager of ours. Whenever I come here, I fall in love with eating there. Your aunt doesn't let me eat kimchi at home because she dislikes the strong smell."
It turned out that it was opened by a fellow villager, Uncle Li, who was a member of the Chao clan. He was a very famous person back then, and everyone wanted to invite this young man from the Chao clan who had good skills to come over.
He could communicate with anyone, and it was at that time that Jiang Dad met him. They were a group of young men who had just reached adulthood and could turn their backs to each other on the battlefield.
"I haven't been here for a long time. I want to see what you want to eat. Oh, you brought a little girl here today. Could it be your daughter?"
The man who opened the door was very familiar with Uncle Li and found the ginger tea quite novel.
"She's my comrade's daughter, and she's my goddaughter. This is your Uncle Park. Go to his room later and see what side dishes he'd like to eat. His family makes delicious side dishes, many of which you've probably never seen before."
He pointed to the west wing and asked her to go in and pick some pickles. Jiang Cha looked at Uncle Park, who nodded and let her pass.
There was no stove in the west wing, so the room was very cold and smelled of kimchi.
There are jars of all sizes and several large vats in the house. The Chao people pickle winter vegetables every year, which can be stored in the cellar for a long time.
The kimchi turned sour and tasted very sour with the ice. The big jar should contain soybean paste and chili sauce. I carefully opened the jar to see what was inside.
Kimchi is very common, as are perilla leaves, platycodon, radish, and shallots. There are also a few rare ones, kelp and lotus root, put together, and the garlic hairs open to give off a Laba garlic flavor.
There are also some prepared kimchi sauces, which can be used to pickle vegetables directly without having to make them again every time, such as dried fish and black beans.
The conditions are good, and many ingredients are hard to find. It's no wonder Uncle Li came here because he is very particular about food. There are so many varieties that he can put up a large table of pickles.
"Whichever one you like, they have a wide variety of side dishes. Just pick one and go. You're welcome."
The two men came in after finishing their discussion and seeing that she was still hesitating, they asked her to take action directly.
