Chapter 247 Vanished into thin air on the street
Qin Suisui wasn't familiar with Hu Jue either. She only knew that he was a tall, thin man around thirty years old who didn't talk much in the lab and was focused on his research. He was the "bookworm" type.
Calling him a "bookworm" isn't meant as a derogatory term, it's just a description. After all, Qin Suisui usually buries herself in experiments when she's in the lab and doesn't talk to others much.
“Jia Zhenzhen also said she wanted to go, and she’s arguing with Commander Jia right now. I think this will work out.” Pei Jiuyan said to Qin Suisui as he put on an apron and walked into the kitchen.
He naturally hoped that Jia Zhenzhen would go, since the situation in Yunnan Province was indeed more complicated. His mission location was not the same as Qin Suisui's, and he would definitely not feel at ease leaving Qin Suisui alone in a foreign place with an unfamiliar man. If Jia Zhenzhen could come along, he would feel more at ease.
Qin Suisui was taken aback: "Why did she start making a scene first? I was just about to go to the hospital to apply this morning." After all, although Jia Zhenzhen was currently working at her medicinal herb garden, her official position was still with the military hospital.
"You don't need to go. I estimate someone will contact you this afternoon."
Sure enough, before the afternoon even arrived, someone brought over Jia Zhenzhen's letter of introduction. Since Qin Suisui was the project manager, she was in charge of keeping all these things.
They're leaving tomorrow. Fortunately, the arrangements for the medicinal herb garden were made yesterday. Her master had already told them about it when she decided to go to Yunnan Province.
Master is currently busy adapting to the new management of the brigade and also vying for power with Pado, with Paman assisting him. The two of them are very busy, so Qin Suisui doesn't plan to disturb them.
Because Pei Jiuyan and his group were operating in secrecy, they had to take the train this time. The thought of a two-day, two-night train journey gave Qin Suisui a headache. She decided to prepare some refreshing drinks to take on the train, hoping it might alleviate her motion sickness.
In October, Qin Suisui picked all the cucumbers and tomatoes in the vegetable garden, intending to take them with her.
One advantage of Qiongtan Island is that there are plenty of fruits all year round, especially the passion fruit in her yard. A year has passed, and the passion fruit has already climbed all over the wall. Now it is full of bright red, round fruits. She picked a lot of them and carried them back with her apron. She also cut a large piece of honey from the honeycomb under the mango tree in the yard, planning to make more refreshing passion fruit honey water to take on the train.
The large honeycomb in the yard, which looked to weigh five or six pounds, was occasionally cut off and eaten by her, but it would soon return to its original state. This cycle repeated itself, and not a single bit was lost.
Because the golden honey was so tempting, many of the women in the residential compound wanted to trade with her. After all, they had all seen with their own eyes that Qin Suisui hadn't really taken care of these bees; they went out to collect nectar on their own and flew back to build their nests. Although they were kept in the yard, it was definitely pure wild honey.
There was only so much honey, so Qin Suisui naturally wouldn't sell it. Over the years, she had only sent a little to Aunt Tang when she was in postpartum confinement; she hadn't sent any to anyone else.
After she acted this way, others couldn't really say anything more. Mainly because honey is a luxury item these days, it's understandable that they wouldn't sell it, and it wasn't directed at anyone in particular.
Some mischievous children, driven by greed, would sneak over when no one was home to get a little something sweet. But before they could even get close, the little white ball would stand at the gate, barking loudly at them, as if it already knew what they were up to.
Even without the little white ball, they couldn't get over the tall wall, which was covered in shards of glass.
After making several large pots of passion fruit honey water, Qin Suisui also packed some pickled vegetables and dried meat to take with her. She didn't plan to cook; the weather was still hot, and the train would be stuffy, so the food would spoil easily.
We could make some pancakes and bring some steamed buns along.
She had steamed buns in her spatial storage, so she went straight into it and filled up with seven or eight.
There were twelve eggs left in the kitchen. Qin Suisui boiled eight of them, and cracked the remaining four into the dough to make some chive and egg pancakes and potato and egg pancakes. She planned to roll them up with kimchi and eat them together, which would be delicious and filling.
The next morning, they took a car to the pier.
They need to take a boat off the island first, and then take a train from Guangzhou to Yunnan Province.
By the time they arrived in Guangzhou, it was almost evening. Qin Suisui was more prone to seasickness than car sickness, so she had prepared in advance. After boarding the ship, she took motion sickness medicine and then fell asleep immediately. She also instructed Pei Jiuyan not to wake her up during the journey if she did not wake up.
Sure enough, after falling asleep, all the discomfort disappeared.
Therefore, Qin Suisui was in relatively good spirits after disembarking.
Their train tickets were for 7:30 pm, and it was only 5 pm now, so they had some time to spare. They decided to grab some food and buy some snacks while they were at it.
Jia Zhenzhen, holding Qin Suisui's hand, said excitedly, "Suisui, I heard that the dim sum in Guangzhou is delicious. Let's go try it!"
Qin Suisui also missed the sticky rice chicken she had eaten when she last came to Guangzhou. The two hit it off and headed straight for the teahouse closest to the train station.
Two and a half hours seems like plenty of time, but transportation isn't that convenient these days, so it's impossible for them to sit in the teahouse and finish their meal before leaving.
Qin Suisui ordered five sticky rice chickens. She originally wanted to order more and store them in her space, but there was a purchase limit here, and five was exactly the number of people in their group.
In addition, we also ordered a few char siu buns, two servings of double-skin milk pudding, and two servings of claypot rice.
She ordered a lot, which aroused the waiter's suspicion, but he understood when he saw the train ticket voucher she produced. Because this teahouse is close to the train station, people who are rushing to catch their trains and don't have time to eat often come here to order tea and snacks to take on their trains.
Moreover, there were five of them in their group, and the food was also divided into portions.
Jia Zhenzhen also ordered two sticky rice chickens and two char siu buns, as well as a bowl of boat congee.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the two of them carried their packed food straight to the noodle shop diagonally opposite. Pei Jiuyan and the other men were eating noodles inside, waiting for them.
Pei Jiuyan had already finished eating and was walking to the door, ready to greet them.
Just as he stepped out of the noodle shop, he happened to see a child of about three years old standing in the middle of the road, with a donkey cart speeding towards him.
He instinctively rushed out, scooped up the child, and the donkey cart crashed into a tree trunk by the roadside, finally coming to a stop.
The people on the donkey cart hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, comrade, my donkey got into a ditch and I couldn't control it. Are you alright?"
The child cried loudly in fright, but Pei Jiuyan's expression turned cold the moment he looked up, because he discovered that Qin Suisui and the other person, who had just been running towards him and were less than ten meters away from him, had suddenly vanished into thin air on the street!
