Chapter 401 Spring Swallow

Zhou Qiuhe came to pick up Chunyan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big sister. Fourth brother and Juanjuan are not the kind of people who are mean. Chunyan will definitely not be able to bear the grievances when she goes to Beijing."

Having said that, he took Chunyan away.

Zhou Qiuhe is still working in the supply and marketing cooperative, while Li Jie found a temporary job in a timber factory.

However, he learned how to drive a truck from Luo Cheng and his friends. Not long after, he was noticed by the factory because he helped the factory driver to reverse the truck, and the factory wanted to make him a permanent employee.

However, Li Jie did not agree and continued to work as a temporary worker.

Mainly because there is work in Luocheng from time to time, he helps with transportation, sometimes he stays there for ten days or half a month, that is his main job. Being a temporary worker in the lumber factory is just right.

Last time, they said they wanted to look for a store to do small business, and they have already bought the store. However, Mo County is even more isolated than Beijing, and there are not even many small vendors setting up stalls. They don't dare to open a store, so the store is still empty, and they have agreed to open it together with Xia Juanjuan's store!

Zhou Qiuhe sent Chunyan to the train station and bought her some food for the journey. She told her to be careful and that her fourth uncle and aunt would pick her up after she arrived in Beijing, and then she sent her to the train.

After sitting for four or five hours, every time the train arrived at a station, Chunyan would prick up her ears to listen to the conductor tell her what station it was.

She is not very literate, and if she doesn't listen carefully, she won't be able to understand the platform name outside.

After finally hearing that they had arrived in Beijing, Chunyan began to feel uneasy again.

She had never even been to the county seat on a regular basis, and the earliest she had been to was to attend a temple festival in the town in the spring.

Beijing City, she had never even thought about it!

She was carrying a small bag with a few sets of clothes for changing and two yuan that Li Zhaodi had stuffed into her pocket, and she followed the crowd out of the car.

The crowd pushed and shoved her, and she held her bag tightly, feeling surprised and scared.

This was the first time she had seen so many people! There were many more people than at the temple fair!

How could her fourth uncle and aunt find her with so many people around? What if she got lost?

Just when I was worried, suddenly a strange voice called out, "Chun Yan!"

Chunyan was startled and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a beautiful woman and a tall man standing together.

Chunyan still remembered how pretty her fourth aunt was, so she recognized Xia Juanjuan almost immediately.

She had never seen such a fierce battle before.

Chunyan's heart was filled with excitement. She ran through the crowd towards Xia Juanjuan. When she got close to her, she called out shyly, "Fourth Uncle...Aunt. Fourth Uncle."

Li Zhan looked at the little girl in front of him with some curiosity, sighing in his heart.

As for his relatives, his wife knows them better than he does!

However, Li Zhan also knew in his heart that Xia Juanjuan also intended to help his relatives.

Otherwise, if you want to hire someone to help at home, just find someone who is not a relative or friend, and just pay them. If they don't do a good job, just fire them directly without worrying about damaging the relationship.

Seeing that she had grown taller than the last time she saw her, but her face hadn't changed much, Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "You're so tall now? From now on, you can treat your fourth uncle and his mother's house as your own home. Don't be restrained. Let's go home!"

Chunyan felt half relieved.

In her memory, she was always a little afraid of Xia Juanjuan because she was so pretty and didn't look like a country girl at all. On the contrary, her third aunt Zhou Qiuhe was much more friendly.

Now, seeing that Xia Juanjuan is not arrogant at all, he feels happy.

Xia Juanjuan took her bag and gave it to Li Zhan.

Chunyan said quickly: "Fourth Aunt, I...I'll get it myself."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Your fourth uncle is such a big man, let him take it."

Li Zhan also smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take it."

It was just noon. The three of them left the train station, but did not take the bus back immediately. Instead, Xia Juanjuan took her to a state-owned noodle restaurant.

Chunyan opened her mouth. She…she only had two dollars on her. She heard that the food in the hotel was very expensive…

But she was afraid that her fourth uncle and aunt would laugh at her, so she had to bite the bullet and follow them in.

Boss, three bowls of fried noodles and a plate of beef with soybean paste.

The shop owner agreed, and after a while, three bowls of fried noodles and a plate of beef in sauce were served.

Chunyan looked at the neatly arranged slices of marinated beef and couldn't help swallowing.

The sauce for fried noodles is also minced meat sauce. Each chewy noodle is covered with the sauce. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of oil!

Chunyan felt bad about the expense while eating noodles.

She has never eaten such delicious noodles!

Seeing that she only ate noodles and not beef, Xia Juanjuan put four or five pieces of beef into her bowl and said with a smile, "Eat beef. Pick it up yourself, don't be so reserved."

Having said that, she also knew that it was nonsense to tell such a young girl who had never been far away to relax.

Chunyan didn't dare not eat and ate all the beef.

Seeing this, Xia Juanjuan picked up a few more pieces for her, but she and Lizhan didn't eat much.

After eating the noodles, Chunyan asked for her bag, took out two yuan and secretly handed it to Xia Juanjuan.

"Aunt, I... I only have two dollars left. I ate a lot of beef. If two dollars are not enough, you can deduct it from the twenty dollars you are going to give me..."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then felt sad and helpless.

Lizhan pushed the money back and said with a smile: "Chunyan, aren't you slapping your fourth uncle and aunt in the face? From now on, when you come home, your food, accommodation and clothes will all be provided by your fourth uncle and aunt, so you don't have to spend any money."

Chunyan was stunned for a moment, holding the two yuan in her hand, still a little unconvinced: "I... I don't have to pay?"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but pat her on the head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, of course not."

As she spoke, she called the waiter over to settle the bill. A bowl of fried noodles was fifty cents, and the beef was two yuan, so the total was three and a half yuan.

Chunyan smacked her lips in amazement after hearing this, and still felt a little uneasy.

This meal cost her three dollars and a half! Did she really not have to pay?

However, the two dollars were still in her hand.

After dinner, Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan took her to the bus. The fare was five cents, which was also paid by Xia Juanjuan.

When she arrived at the courtyard, Chunyan was not too surprised.

There are many families in the countryside who have yards, but they are mostly owned by wealthy people.

My fourth uncle and his wife are rich, so it's normal for them to live in such a big yard.

She didn't know that the land here was so good that even a thousand courtyards in the countryside could not compare to one courtyard here!
