Chapter 408 Ayi's Death Anniversary

"Master, the young mistress has set out!"

After finishing the last load, Lao Chen shouted towards the living room.

"Okay, I'm coming." Qiao Xi took her bag and cell phone, ready to get in the car.

Aunt Qian quickly chased after her and stuffed two thermos bottles into her mouth, and said, "Madam, this is the soup I cooked all night. You and Master should eat better when you go to the countryside. If it's really not possible, let Old Chen drive to a restaurant in the county. Otherwise... I can go with you, too?"

She was really afraid that Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou would starve to death in the countryside.

Qiao Xi took her thermos bucket with a smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qian, you should stay at home. We will be back in one night, don't worry."

Aunt Qian was still a little reluctant: "Then come back early and don't travel at night."

"Okay, got it!"

"Young Master, you must also take good care of the Young Madam and help with the housework." Aunt Qian really wanted to take every aspect into consideration. She was also worried that she had missed something, so she checked over and over again.

Then he looked at them with a sigh.

"Goodbye Aunt Qian, don't miss us."

Qiao Xi sat in the car and waved to her. Huo Xingzhou beside her seemed much calmer, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he watched them reluctant to leave.

"goodbye."

The car quickly left the Huo family villa and drove all the way to Moon Village.

The distance from Haicheng to Yueliang Village was not too far. If Lao Chen did not rest at the service area, he would reach the countryside in three or four hours. The road to the village had been repaired, and Huo Xingzhou had personally allocated money for it.

The village's infrastructure had also been improved, but Qiao Xi knew nothing about it.

Huo Xingzhou did not take credit for it.

This time.

After a few hours of bumpy ride, Qiao Xi couldn't help but stare at the newly renovated village. Moon Village was originally quite backward, but now there is a big square and fitness equipment for the elderly.

The road is also a smooth asphalt road, but it used to be muddy when it rained.

"This...how could such a big change happen?" Qiao Xi asked in surprise.

She also wanted to save some money for the village to build roads, and also to help some lonely elderly people. She came from Moon Village. After she achieved some success, she wanted to repay some people who were kind to her.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Our young master has allocated special funds from the Star Moon Foundation to build Moon Village. Madam, what do you think of the effect? ​​Your old home was cleaned up a few days ago, and some improvements were made."

Lao Chen drove slowly into the village. This Lincoln was quite rare in the village.

It attracted some passers-by to watch.

The car stopped when it arrived at Grandma Qiao's and Cheng Han's yards.

These two neighboring courtyards have been renovated and do not look shabby at all. Instead, they really look like a paradise.

"Qiao Xi is back!"

"Qiao girl, you are finally back? This is your man, right? You really cured his legs. It must be a happy ending after all the hardship."

Neighbors heard the commotion and gathered around to see if they could help.

Qiao Xi asked Lao Chen to give the gifts in the trunk to them as well, so as to avoid having to deliver them to their homes one by one.

Aunt Chunhua took two silk quilts and smiled: "I just mentioned it, and you really took it for me. I have already cleaned the house for you, and you can move in. Even the new quilts prepared by your grandmother have all been dried in the sun, and they still smell warm."

"Thank you, Aunt Chunhua."

"Oh, what are you thanking me for?" Aunt Chunhua looked at them and said, "Qiao Xi, you are back to pay respect to Grandma Qiao and that boy, right? When I was going up the mountain this morning, I ran into a young man..."

"Young Madam, whose family are these gifts from? Please come and have a look." Old Chen shouted at the top of his voice.

There were too many things in the trunk, and he didn't recognize any of the villagers.

What’s more important is that these people went home and brought back a lot of local specialties and insisted on stuffing them into the car. Lao Chen also saw a live chicken with its wings and claws tied, which was clucking loudly.

The scene is so chaotic!

Qiao Xi quickly responded, "I'm here! Aunt Chunhua, I'll go over and take a look first. Please sit in the yard for a while, I have something to give you."

Aunt Chunhua said yes repeatedly, "You go ahead and do your thing first."

Huo Xingzhou brought a small round stool for Aunt Chunhua, "Please sit down."

Aunt Chunhua was overwhelmed by the favor.

She was a little at a loss. Qiao's man looked extremely wealthy, yet he actually moved a stool for a country girl like her.

She has a really big reputation.

Aunt Chunhua sat down awkwardly and smiled awkwardly.

Huo Xingzhou was sitting on the stone bench opposite her, his every move carrying a unique elegance. His eyes swept over Qiao Xi who was busy not far away, and he spoke gently.

"You just mentioned a young man. What kind of young man is he?"

Qiao Xi didn't notice.

But Huo Xingzhou knew a lot of inside information and was even more suspicious of the identity of the so-called young man. The village was full of familiar faces, and anyone who could be noticed must be a stranger.

Aunt Chunhua opened up immediately after hearing what he said: "My family has a large flock of sheep, and we have to go up the mountain to herd them every day. This morning, I saw a young man wearing a hat and a mask going up the mountain. He was going to the village cemetery. I asked him a question..."

"He said he was just taking a walk, but I don't think he's an ordinary person. His figure and temperament..."

Aunt Chunhua stared at Huo Xingzhou for a while and said, "Just like you, he is different from the rest of us. I didn't pay attention to him later, so I don't know where he went. Is he a friend of you and Qiao?"

"I guess. He got here before us."

Huo Xingzhou said with a smile, but there was no warmth in his eyes. The people at the hotel didn't say that Zhong Yi had escaped. He was quite capable and was not afraid of being exposed.

This is a risky move.

Is Moon Village so important to him?

"I was wondering, he's your friend, no wonder he looks so noble. Even though I haven't seen his face, I'm sure he's very handsome."

After chatting for a while, Aunt Chunhua felt that Huo Xingzhou was very approachable and did not have the bad habits of some city people.

He and Miss Qiao are a perfect match.

By the time Qiao Xi and Lao Chen sorted out the gifts in the car, it was already afternoon. The villagers didn't let them cook, so Aunt Chunhua took them home to eat. It was really hard to refuse such a kind hospitality.

It was still light as evening approached.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou went up the mountain to the village cemetery. Old Chen followed them and took some offerings.

"Grandma's grave is in the front, and Ayi's is a little further away." Qiao Xi mentioned Ayi very frankly in front of Huo Xingzhou. They had already talked about this childhood sweetheart before, so there was nothing to hide.

"Actually, today is the anniversary of Ayi's death."

Qiao Xi said softly, "I came here to pay my respects to my grandmother, and I also took this opportunity to pay my respects to him. I was afraid that someone would forget about him. I heard that ghosts who have not been reincarnated also need money in the underworld. I don't want him to be poor and bullied by other ghosts."

No wonder she asked Lao Chen to go to the village store to buy so many large-denomination banknotes from Tiandi Bank.

Huo Xingzhou smiled wryly: "With so much money, he definitely can't spend it all."

Old Chen chimed in, "If I had known earlier, I would have bought two paper-made beauties from the grocery store and burned them for him, so that he would have someone to keep him company."

Qiao Xi glanced at them and felt that the tone of their voices was a bit strange.

But her eyes were soon attracted by the bouquet of blue eucalyptus flowers in front of her grandmother's tombstone. Looking not far away, she saw there was also a bouquet in front of Ayi's grave!

Who put this there?
