Chapter 796 Qi Chan Returns
Seeing Xu Zhensheng not far ahead, Shu Yu thought of the few 'ground mice' that a child in the car had put out, so she waved to him.
Xu Zhensheng came running over and looked into the carriage. "Where's Da Hu?"
"He won't be back for a few days, but he asked me to send you a gift."
"What?"
Shu Yu took out a cloth bag from the carriage. "Fireworks. These are things my brother bought in the prefectural city for Da Hu and San Ya. Da Hu specially saved them for you. Take them."
The cloth bag was bulging, containing not only fireworks but also some candies and snacks wrapped in paper.
These were all brought back by Da Hu when he visited other people's homes on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Knowing that the Xu family hadn't prepared many New Year's goods, he brought some for his friends.
Xu Zhensheng pursed his lips. Because of his taciturn nature, he didn't have many friends in Zhengdao Village. Da Hu was the first one.
She was several years younger than him, yet she took great care of him.
Xu Zhensheng took the cloth bag and said, "Thank you."
Shu Yu waved her hand, "Wait until he comes back, then you can talk to him. Okay, go have fun, I'm going home now."
Xu Zhensheng stepped back two steps and stood aside to let her pass.
Shu Yu resumed her diligent work, and the next day when she registered, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Shu.
Both of them were pale and trembled, as if they were sick.
Clearly, the rain that fell that afternoon on the first day of the Lunar New Year was not for nothing.
Shu Yu thought they would continue to ask about Hou Shi, but to her surprise, the two of them didn't say a word.
They weren't troublesome, and Shu Yu didn't bother with them.
The old lady didn't wait until the sixth day of the lunar new year; she came over on the fourth. She said to Shu Yu, "I came early to prepare some dried goods for the Yao family so they can take them back to the capital. The Yao family has a good relationship with your father, so we can't stop contacting them just because they've left. That would be a huge loss."
The old lady had her own set of principles regarding human relationships and social interactions, so Shuyu just let her be.
Soon, the old lady bought dried meat made from game from Ma Lu and his family, and also exchanged a lot of mountain products with the Fang family. She gathered them up and prepared to take them to the county town.
Shortly after the old lady left, Mr. Qi finally returned to Heichang County.
He only stayed in the county town for less than half a day before coming to Zhengdao Village and going directly to find Shu Yu.
When Wang Changdong saw that he had actually come to see Miss Lu in person, he was quite surprised. He quickly tidied up the study and let them in to talk. He then personally brought tea and snacks and placed them on the table before standing guard outside the door.
He had a gut feeling that Mr. Qi must have something important to say to Miss Lu, and he absolutely couldn't let anyone disturb him.
Qi Chan glanced at Wang Changdong a couple more times, nodded and smiled at him, seemingly quite satisfied with his actions.
Wang Changdong immediately became excited and became even more attentive, "Then sir, please talk to Manager Lu slowly. Just call me if you need anything."
He left, leaving only Shu Yu and Qi Chan in the study.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, who hadn't changed much, Qi Chan couldn't help but smile and say, "I've come here to tell you some good news. The governor was very pleased when he saw the heating pack you made, and it's already been sent to the capital by express courier. However, it will take some time before the heating pack arrives, is tested, and then an award is given. Please be patient."
Shu Yu did some mental calculations and had a good idea of what to expect.
“I know, just like Uncle Yao, he has been waiting for more than two months.”
