When Zhou Xiu returned home, Zhou Cheng and Liu Mei were busy packing their luggage for the trip home.
Zhou Cheng collected all the pickled ham, kimchi and dried radish from his home, packed them up, and held a heavy bag in his hand.
Liu Mei laughed at him for being a country bumpkin.
Zhou Cheng babbled, "Don't even mention that we won't have anything to eat when we get back to the countryside."
As he spoke he picked up another pile of things. While sorting, Zhou Cheng pointed to a pile of old clothes and asked his daughter: "Xiu'er, do you still want these clothes?"
This is Zhou Xiu’s old clothes from last year. Now that she is taller, they no longer fit her.
Zhou Xiu shook his head.
Zhou Cheng put them into the bag and said, "Your uncle Li's children are going to school, these clothes are perfect for them. It would be a pity to leave the socks unused, so take them with you."
As Zhou Cheng continued to pick, he had already filled a large woven bag.
There are two large woven bags on the left and right, and a bunch of local specialties from City C. If chickens and ducks weren't cheap in the countryside, Zhou Cheng would probably have wanted to take two chickens and ducks back with him.
He looked just like when he first came to the city, and Liu Mei was scared when she saw him.
Zhou Xiu simply packed her clothes, washed up and went to bed early.
The next day, early in the morning, the family took the high-speed train back to the countryside.
…
night.
When Huaxu returned home, she saw her father reading a newspaper in the living room. She casually said, "Old man, I want to go to X City for a trip with Qingyan and the others."
Hua's father narrowed his eyes and buried his head in the newspaper again, "Oh, go ahead. Be careful."
Du Feiyang's home.
Du Feiyang pretended to be nonchalant and said to his parents: "I want to travel to X City during the summer vacation, with Mingming and the others."
Du's father and mother didn't care at first. After all, Du Feiyang would run around the world during every winter and summer vacation and couldn't stay at home.
But they heard their son's voice, which was pretending to be calm but actually nervous. They looked down and saw Du Feiyang rubbing his thumb subconsciously.
This small action gave him away.
Father Du frowned, "Oh? Didn't you ask us to change a math tutor a few days ago? The teacher will be here tomorrow..."
Du Feiyang seemed like a different person after coming back from evening self-study one day. Not only did he shave his hair, he also hired several tutors. After the summer vacation, his son took the initiative to stay at home to study. This made Mr. and Mrs. Du extremely flattered.
Now that he cautiously mentioned going out to play, Du's father and mother felt even more strange.
Dad Du stared at Du Feiyang in silence for a long time.
Du Feiyang couldn't hold it in any longer and honestly told the purpose of this trip.
Dad and Mom Du were stunned and shocked: "Isn't Xiuxiu the amazing girl in your class?"
"That's right. Xiuxiu is so miserable. What if she can't come back from the countryside? How can I not go?" Du Feiyang said with a strong sense of justice.
He shouted in his heart at the top of his lungs, I must go!
Dad Du thought for a moment and said, "Let Uncle Du go with you tomorrow. If anything happens, please contact us immediately. Don't act rashly."
Du Feiyang was a little complicated: "..."
Why does it sound weird? Actually... Xiuxiu's home is not a dangerous place, right?
Talk about the Ming family.
Tan Ming told his mother about his trip to Zhou Xiu's hometown, and Ming Ming's mother looked at her son in shock.
My son, who was so shy that he didn't even dare to say a word to others before, actually showed up at someone's house after not seeing him for a few days? Mingming's mother looked at Tan Ming with admiration.
Tan Ming was speechless: "..."
He explained Zhou Xiu's situation to his mother, and Mingming's mother patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Mingming, go!"
"Just think of it as a 'transformation' experience. During those years when you were rebellious, your father even joked with me about sending you to the countryside to experience some hardship."
"Remember to take care of the girls traveling with you." Mingming's mother said.
The next day, Huaxu called everyone one by one to inquire about the situation. She booked tickets for the next day for all the poor students who had obtained permission from their parents.
The next day, the group packed their luggage and happily took the high-speed train to Zhou Xiu's hometown.
Du Feiyang took a deep breath and said to himself, "Oh my god, it's hard to believe, I'm going to Xiuxiu's hometown!"
What kind of magical place could produce a top student like Xiu Shen? Du Feiyang was particularly curious about Xiu Shen's growth environment.
Lan Xin's blood was boiling as well. Now she had a full sense of responsibility to "save the beautiful girl". Of course, it would be better if nothing happened.
This trip is just for fun.
Tan Ming silently covered his face with the hat and lay down on the chair to catch up on his sleep. Xu Qing was typing away on his notebook, diligently searching for various information, strategies, and precautions.
After the high-speed train stopped, a group of handsome men and beautiful women got off the train, causing passers-by on the road to stop and look.
These boys and girls, all of them with good looks and long legs, make people want to take out their phones and secretly take pictures.
“Wow!”
"The boys in this row all have such long legs."
Several people quickened their pace and left the station. They got on the bus chartered by Xu Qing and headed from the city to the surrounding counties.
In the car, Huaxu called Zhou Xiu.
Zhou Xiu had been back home for a day and was washing clothes when she received the call from Huateng. Zhou Xiu wiped her hands before answering Hua Xu's call.
She originally thought that Huaxu was calling her to ask for help with homework, but she didn't expect that just as the call was connected -
The behind-the-scenes footage on the phone dropped a depth bomb on Zhou Xiu.
"Xiu Xiu, we are here in your hometown!"
Zhou Xiu couldn't help rubbing her ears, and the voice on the phone repeated again: "We have come to your hometown."
After a while, Yu Qingyan took the phone with a wronged look on her face.
"Xiu Xiu, I'm sorry. We came uninvited. Didn't we cause you any trouble?"
Lan Xin said: "We really miss Xiuxiu so much, we don't want to be apart from you for even a day."
The more she talked/heard, the more outrageous it became, and the boys around her got goosebumps. Xu Qing couldn't help but coughing violently.
Zhou Xiu received the call: "..."
Lan Xin saw that Zhou Xiu hadn't spoken for a long time, so she asked cautiously, "Xiu Xiu, don't you welcome us? Ying, we have no place to stay tonight."
After a long while, Zhou Xiu's eyebrows relaxed, she shook her head and curled her lips: "No, you're welcome."
"Come on, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
Zhou Xiu gave them a string of addresses and taught them how to get here.
After Zhou Xiu hung up the phone, she took out a bag of candy from her pocket and waved it. The transparent plastic wrapper sparkled in the sun, and the children around her swarmed over.
Zhou Xiu said: "We need to clean the room later, because a group of friends are coming."
After receiving the candy, the older children quickly ran back to the inn and quickly cleaned the room, made the beds, boiled water and cooked.
The two-year-old little bean asked Zhou Xiu, holding a candy in his mouth, "Sister Xiuxiu, where are you going?"
Zhou Xiu rode on her bike, waved to him, and said without turning her head, "I'm going to pick up my friend."
The clear and melodious voice echoed in the quiet forest for several circles.
…
After getting off the bus, the group took a go-kart. Du Feiyang had never been on this kind of leaky covered car before and was very new to it. After one ride, there was no hairstyle to speak of.
Lan Xin said happily: "I saw this kind of car when I was a child!"
But the next more astonishing mode of transportation came. After riding the Bong-Bong car, they took a small boat to cross the river, and then got on a ox cart. Several young boys and girls from big cities came to a strange world they had never been exposed to.
This place is too poor, so poor... it seems beyond their imagination?
Yu Qingyan was speechless as she sat on the ox cart. The road was getting more and more remote. It was hard to imagine that in this era there were still places that relied on this kind of transportation.
Du Feiyang scratched his head and said, "Well... just sit here for now, okay?"
Du Feiyang did not make a fuss. He remained calm, after all, he had gone hiking many times and visited many places. But this was actually Zhou Xiu's home, and Du Feiyang felt a little uneasy.
My companions who were traveling with me were all stunned. They appeared calm and speechless on the surface, but their hearts were filled with turmoil.
The group walked slowly for several kilometers, and at the end of the path they finally saw Zhou Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time.
It was a hot summer day, and the forest was quiet and refreshing, with lush green everywhere. The mottled shadows of the trees fell on Zhou Xiu's shoulders. She was wearing an ordinary floral dress and black pants, with her hair tied in a pigtail. She looked as beautiful as an elf in the mountain stream.
It looks very similar to the usual school uniform, but also a little different.
At this moment, Huaxu saw Zhou Xiu here as if he had seen a relative, and couldn't help but rush up.
Zhou Xiu took out some thirst-quenching fruits from his schoolbag and handed them to them. "Eat, I'll take you to the inn where we're staying."
Zhou Xiu didn't ask them why they came, but a group of poor students in Class 24 started chatting about what happened along the way.
Du Feiyang said: "There is so much water here. We just came here on a bamboo raft. The uncle who paddled the raft was so tough. I was almost scared to death."
Lan Xin kept chattering, "He said he recognized Xiu Xiu!"
Lan Xin said a surname of a minority ethnic group, and Zhou Xiu nodded: "Indeed, I know him. He is Uncle Liu from the village."
Xu Qing asked: "Is Xiuxiu a member of a minority ethnic group?"
Zhou Xiu shook her head and couldn't help laughing: "No, I am from the majority ethnic group."
Huatui patted his chest and said, "Luckily you are the majority ethnic group."
The results are so abnormal, not only are there extra points for competition, but also for ethnicity. The pace of the college entrance examination is breathtaking...
Zhou Xiu quickly took them to an inn and arranged for them to stay.
Zhou Xiu extended her hand and introduced them, "They are friends from the village, Song Erhua, Liu Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xiaoxia, Zhou Dalong..."
Huatiao finally met Zhou Xiu's "pen pals" in the countryside. After seeing their faces one by one, she looked up in surprise:
"I recognize them."
Yu Qingyan and his group walked into the inn. They didn’t expect that there would be a B&B in such a place, and it was quite clean.
Zhou Xiu said, "You must be tired and hungry after all this journey. Go wash your hands first and eat something later."
Zhou Xiu took them to the room and put their luggage.
After this group of handsome men and beautiful women left, Erhua, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxia and other rural children were excited.
"Not only has Sister Xiuxiu become prettier, but even her friends are pretty."
"They look so rich. They eat half of the melon seeds and throw away the other half."
"The tallest sister just gave me chocolate and milk."
They are covered in branded clothes, making people afraid to approach them, but when they smile, it seems as if all worries are gone. Just like the big brother who stayed on the second floor yesterday.
Erhua and a few others ran to the kitchen and brought the food prepared by Xiu's father to the table.
“It’s time to eat!”
