Chapter 157 Long time no see
Jiang Yiming spoke with great sincerity.
"Hey! I kept some of your mother's belongings for the purpose of applying for martyrdom. But after Xu Hansheng messed it up, the review will probably be even stricter. After much thought, I asked Xiao Wu to run over and deliver them to you. Keep the things safe for now. I'll contact you when you need them. It's not safe to leave them in Haicheng."
"Xiao Wu is here?!"
Zhu Yunyao hadn't expected this and exclaimed, "When did they leave? Have they arrived yet?"
"He's been gone for several days. I originally thought he'd send you a telegram when he left, so neither side would be delayed. But you haven't heard from me yet, and I'm afraid you'll miss him. His letter of introduction will only stay in town until tomorrow, so I wonder if you'll be able to meet him? I told him to stay at the most conspicuous guesthouse..."
Before Jiang Yiming finished speaking, Zhu Yunying immediately took over the conversation.
"If I can catch up, I'll go find him right away. Uncle Jiang, take care of yourself!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yunying immediately got on her bike and headed straight for the guesthouse.
Isn’t the most conspicuous guesthouse in town the one owned by Sister Wang Huahua?
It's easy to find.
I just hope Xiao Wu doesn’t run around everywhere.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but speed up her cycling movements.
Grunt——
Grunt——
In a short while, she rode out of the mine road and onto the main road leading to the town.
Afraid of running into Aunt Qin and her group, she deliberately walked close to the shops along the street.
As a result, I managed to avoid Aunt Qin, but I couldn't avoid Sister Dong.
Sister Dong, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was carrying a backpack made of a snakeskin bag on her shoulders. When she saw her passing by, her eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed the handlebars of her bike and forced her to stop!
"Little girl, where have you been hiding? I thought you went back to your hometown to plant cotton! I miss you so much!"
Sister Dong was reminiscing about the past, but her eyes kept looking at the shoulder bag that Zhu Yunying was carrying.
The package was sent by Feng Shuo.
Since getting this bag, Zhu Yunying has given up her original purse when going out. It frees up her hands and is quite practical.
Sister Dong’s expression is so easy to understand.
Zhu Yunying actually didn't want to do business with her anymore.
This person is not honest.
After doing business once or twice, he starts thinking about taking kickbacks.
She said that it was important to have a full meal every day, but she knew it in her heart.
But in reality, the small profits in front of her were enough to corrupt her.
However, Zhu Yunying was in a hurry to go to the guesthouse to meet Xiao Wu, so she didn't have time to deal with her. She asked directly, "Sister Dong, you didn't go to the stall today? How come we met on the street? Are you here to see me?"
"That's right! Oh, people nowadays are so picky. The herbs you gave them are good-looking and strong. After eating good things, they won't buy other rotten things."
Sister Dong stared at Zhu Yunying's shoulder bag, her eyes eagerly gazing at it. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Especially the men's medicine! Hehe, it sells so well!"
Zhu Yunwei said "oh".
She stopped her bike, turned her back to Sister Dong, and rummaged through her shoulder bag.
——Actually, I just grabbed some from the space.
I took out a bunch of owl, epimedium, dodder seed and cistanche deserticola...
"What a coincidence! I was just about to come look for you! My hometown just sent some stuff over, and it's all what you wanted!"
As soon as Zhu Yunying showed the herbs in front of Sister Dong, her eyes lit up!
This must be a big customer!
Otherwise, how could I be so excited!
There are quite a lot of them. Can they all be sold out?
"Great, great! It's like a blessing after a long drought! I want them all!" Sister Dong excitedly took out her purse, turned it upside down, and gave all the bills inside to Zhu Yunying.
Afraid that she would think it was too little, I gave her two extra kilograms of meat tickets!
Zhu Yunying accepted it!
"When will your family send it next time? I'll come back and wait until then, to prevent others from wanting to buy it and getting anxious. I get anxious just looking at it."
Sister Dong treated the herbs as treasures. She was reluctant to break even a leaf and was worried about putting them in a snakeskin bag. She even took off her coat and used it to wrap the herbs.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunying pursed her lips and said, "Send it once every two weeks. Don't keep waiting!"
"Okay, okay! Half a month is just right! See you next time then!"
Sister Dong left happily.
Judging from the direction she was going, she didn't seem to be heading to the black market alley.
I guess they will deliver the goods to the buyer’s door!
Putting aside her dishonesty, Sister Dong's tenacity in doing business is truly amazing!
Zhu Yunying dealt with Sister Dong quickly and decisively, and with the huge sum of nearly 50 yuan in her hand, she pedaled her bicycle with even more strength!
…
Arrived at the guesthouse.
Zhu Yunying habitually took out a box of peach cakes and put it on the counter, but she did not hear the familiar sound of cracking melon seeds.
"Is anyone there?"
She leaned forward slightly with her hands on the counter. Her originally fair face was now flushed a beautiful red due to pedaling hard. She was breathing lightly and her mouth was pouting in a cute curve.
The whole person is full of enthusiasm and vitality.
In particular, she wore slim-fitting trousers with the hem of her shirt tucked into her trousers, showing off her slender waist. Even when viewed from behind, she was a beauty with long legs and a thin waist.
When Song Xiaotian came out of the tea room carrying a thermos, he saw an eye-catching scene and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.
He was wearing his usual clean white shirt and his trousers, ironed and pressed straight at the seams, and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Yunyao turned around and glanced at him, her lips curled politely: "Sister Hua is not here today? I want to inquire about something."
"Well, she went to the countryside. I've been looking after the guesthouse these days."
Song Xiaotian placed the thermos at the stairs, probably to get hot water for the guests.
Zhu Yunying casually said, "You are quite busy, and you also have to manage the tailor shop."
"The tailor shop has been closed lately. I just did a big business, so I can take a few days off."
Song Xiaotian walked into the counter, lowered his head and tidied up the registration book at hand, then raised his eyes and spoke nonchalantly.
Zhu Yunwei understood.
It seems that the silk cocoons and cotton he made before made him a lot of money.
Zhu Yunyao was anxious to find Xiao Wu, so she didn't respond. Still smiling, she changed the subject: "It's the same with you. I wanted to ask, are there any guests from Haicheng staying here? Which room are they staying in? Is they still here?"
"Haicheng?"
Song Xiaotian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he obviously had an impression of her, but he didn't reply directly: "Is she your friend?"
Just as I was asking, I heard footsteps on the stairs.
"Hello, is the hot water ready? I'll come down to get it!"
The young man's voice was full of energy.
It sounded familiar, so Zhu Yunying turned her head.
I saw Xiao Wu, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers in a serious manner, with his hair greased and combed back. His skin, which was originally a little tanned, had become much whiter, probably because he had stayed in the library for a long time.
In addition, he was born with a strong and sturdy figure. After a little tidying up, he got rid of his student-like look and even had some of the dignity of a professor!
"Xiao Wu!"
It takes no effort!
Zhu Yunying waved to them joyfully, her face beaming with joy as she said excitedly, "Great! I found you!"
Xiao Wu, who was on the stairs, was still looking around, trying to find a thermos!
When he heard Zhu Yunyao's voice, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, and he was equally excited: "Yunyao!"
The two were very happy to meet each other after a long separation.
Song Xiaotian, who was at the counter, felt his heart sink inexplicably when he saw Zhu Yunying's smile at that moment.
When she greeted me just now, her smile was very forced...
"When did you arrive? I'm sorry, I was out for a few days and didn't receive the telegram in time. Are you used to living here? How many days can you stay?"
"I've been here for a few days now, staying in a double room. The guy in the next bed is snoring a bit, so I'll just make do with the sleep. I can stay for two more days. I only have tickets for the day after tomorrow, so I can stay an extra day."
When Zhu Yunying heard that he was staying in a double room, she frowned.
In this era, even if you had a letter of introduction, you might not be able to get a single room in a hotel, and sometimes you would have to share a room with strangers.
They came all the way here just for me!
Zhu Yunying immediately turned to the counter and said, "Master Song, do you have a private room with a king-size bed, facing the sun, and with a better environment? I'll pay for it."
"Yun Wei... don't bother with that. I have to leave soon."
Xiao Wu felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, regretting why he saved such a little money and exposed his financial difficulties in front of others.
But there was also a secret joy in her that she was... quite nice to herself.
"Aren't you leaving the day after tomorrow? You've finally come here, and as your sister, how can I let you suffer any injustice? If Uncle Jiang finds out, he'll blame me for being so harsh on you!"
As soon as she said this, Xiao Wu's secret excitement in his heart instantly died down.
It turned out that she still only regarded herself as her younger brother.
Meanwhile, Song Xiaotian, who was sitting at the counter, breathed a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth curled up as he handed over the registration book: "There are still rooms available. Want to change now?"
"Yeah! I want the biggest room."
Zhu Yunying took the registration book and wrote down the information directly, fearing that Xiaowu would delay again.
At the same time, a group of people walked past the door. One of them stopped and looked straight into the guesthouse.
