Her shoulders weren't thin, but compared to him, she still had the physique of a scholar. The fabric of her clothes was pleasant to the touch, and you could tell it was expensive just by looking at it.
Xu Shiqing subconsciously glanced at the people passing by, then realized that he had been too lost in thought. If it weren't for Xie Chongyue, he would have bumped into someone right now. "Thank you for reminding me to watch the road."
The words were very stiff, and they were really unfamiliar.
Jichuan County was a small place in the south, with mountains everywhere, a real mountain valley. Xujia Village was about ten kilometers away from the county, so they couldn't walk back.
Xie Chongyue had brought some things to the market in the morning and had picked up his younger brother on time. The vegetables and meat he had brought had already been sold out. He said hello to everyone around him and was walking back with a cow. Xu Shiqing was sitting in the car behind him.
The road remained silent. Xie Chongyue was struggling with other thoughts in his mind and could not think of anything else. As for Xu Shiqing, he was startled several times by the square in front of him.
「Mission」「Mall」「Information」
He felt that the task was obstructing his vision and wondered if it could be put away. It was put away, and he wondered if he could put it away again. Then the words in front of him changed.
It can't be more serious.
Xu Shiqing was rarely frightened. Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost and could hear his thoughts?
He couldn't help but mutter: "Mall..."
After he came to his senses, he fell silent. This was so inexplicable that he might be mistaken for a lunatic.
The mall in his field of vision lit up, and Xu Shiqing saw a list of things on it like a menu, followed by a string of numbers, which should be the price.
He thought about it for a long time and didn't dare to click randomly. After all, there was a cousin in front of him who he didn't know well and was not related by blood. If there was any change, he would not be able to beat the other party who was so strong.
Xujia Village is at the foot of the mountain, which is a blessing. Otherwise, the several kilometers up the mountain would be more difficult to walk than the road from the county to the foot of the mountain.
It was already noon when they arrived at the village.
Every household was busy preparing lunch, and smoke was rolling all over the mountain.
The Xu family's house in Xujia Village is at the end of the village. When the ox cart is pulled from the village head to the door of their house, many people will see that there is an extraordinary young man on their cart.
Xie Chongyue glanced at the girls who thought they were hiding well, and thought to himself, what can you hide with your pretty faces?
But most young people of this age can't keep any secrets.
Xu Shiqing was completely unaware. He and Xie Chongyue remained silent for nearly two hours. It cannot be said that he was unable to read people's expressions. It should be said that either his mentality or his eyes were blinded by the light of day, otherwise he would not do such a thing.
The neighbors all walked past the Xu family's door as if something happened. When they saw a young man getting off Xie Chongyue's ox cart, several aunts became excited. Educated youth were a rarity in that era. The local people simply thought that if a man had knowledge, he would definitely achieve great things in the future, so they all wanted to climb up the ladder.
When that face turned around, some were stunned, some were stupid, and some were excited. Xie Chongyue glanced at them and knew what these guys were planning. He glanced at the young man next to him who was staring straight ahead and had no sense of humanity. He felt that this thing was probably a failure. After all, the man was so arrogant that he looked down on the village.
"Dad!" He pushed open the gate and a middle-aged man came out. He was wearing a coat and holding a cigarette in his mouth.
It’s Xu Chengan, Xu Shiqing’s uncle.
"Hello, uncle." Xu Shiqing bent down and bowed. This gesture was too formal and bookish.
Xu Chengan rubbed his hands a little awkwardly and said, "Are you here? Come on in, the meal is just ready, let's eat together."
Xie Chongyue went to the kitchen, got some food, and helped serve the dishes.
We finished our lunch in a lively atmosphere, although there was an inexplicable silence in one corner, which revealed an unfamiliar awkwardness.
