After the vehicle was agreed upon, Zhou Xiang felt relieved. It was very convenient to have the help of a local, and she had nowhere else to find a car.
After taking everyone back on the bus, everyone was exhausted. Zhou wanted to stop the blind lady and ask her to cook some plain noodles. Whether they wanted to eat it or not, everyone was equally tired.
Holding the plain noodles, Ji Bin said as he ate, "We basically walked in a straight line. I'm exhausted. How did those great figures who lived there in ancient times live?"
Zhang Ning glanced at him, wanting to slap him to death. "What do you think those palace maids and eunuchs, who outnumber their masters many times over, do?"
Ji Bin was confused. "What do you do?"
"Serving people! Do you think serving people is just about food and clothing? Those masters have double sedan chairs for long journeys, right? How can a woman walk with bound feet wearing Qing Dynasty basin shoes? Tell me."
"Well, isn't that almost the same as being disabled?"
"You're an idiot." Zhang Ning didn't want to talk to him. It was too much trouble.
Everyone lowered their heads to eat noodles and did not participate in the daily bickering between the two people.
After dinner, several pots of water were boiled and everyone took a bath.
Zhou Xiang looked at the running out of firewood and asked Brother Chao where he bought it.
"Some people are pushing it here to sell. No one can afford to burn all the coal."
"Hurry up and buy a few cars tomorrow, we'll be staying here for several days!"
"Yes! I'll wait at the entrance of the alley tomorrow."
The next day, everyone got up late and Ji Bin complained of leg pain.
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Climbing the Great Wall tomorrow will be even more tiring, so you don't have to go."
Ji Bin immediately quit, "My legs need a rest, I can definitely climb the Great Wall. If you haven't climbed the Great Wall, you are not a true man. I must go."
Because tomorrow will be even more tiring, let everyone have a good rest today. We won’t go to Beihai Park, which is only one stop away. After visiting the major attractions, you can go to any of the smaller ones.
Brother Chao brought the firewood seller and pushed the cart in together. So, that day, they bought five carts of firewood in a row.
After a day of playing at the Great Wall on the 13th, we took another day off. On the 15th, we went to Beihai and Qianhai.
Then there are the Old Summer Palace, the Summer Palace, Hua University and Peking University. Although these four are close to each other, Hua University is too big. We played there for most of the day on the 16th and then went home to rest.
We spent most of the day playing in the Summer Palace on the 17th.
The Old Summer Palace is all stones and trees, and it's easy to see. I went there with Jingda for a day on the 18th.
On the 19th, I spent a day visiting the Temple of Heaven Park and Wangfujing, and on the 20th, I spent most of the day playing in Xiangshan.
After finding a small passenger car from Xiaogu, Zhou Xiang booked the 13th and 16th to 20th for 200 yuan a day, a total of six days.
After returning from Xiangshan, Ji Bin begged for mercy, "I don't want to play anymore. I finally know that traveling is not fun. It's too tiring. Before, I envied the rich who could travel to scenic spots.
Now, I'm almost tired of being picked up and dropped off every day. I don't want to play anymore and I want to go home. Our small place is still the best. It only takes half a day to walk from the south to the north."
Zhang Ning and Li Li thought it was okay. The tourist attraction was too big and Zhou Xiang had given them some rest time after visiting. Ji Bin was a bit too exaggerated.
Xiao Chunmei didn't feel anything. Zhou's mother and the blind lady were used to being tired, so it was okay.
"Okay, we've finished visiting all the famous attractions. If you still want to go, you can go freely. If you want to go home, you can go with Teacher Ran. I have something else to do and it will take a few days."
Xiao Chunmei, Zhang Ning, and Li Li immediately shook their heads when they heard this. "We'll wait for you to go back together. We can also watch the flag-raising and lowering ceremony."
Ji Bin also nodded and said, "I'll be waiting for you to come back together."
Zhou wanted to see Zuo Heng and his third brother, and they also wanted to go back together.
Ran Qiming didn't wait for Zhou Xiang to ask him! He immediately said, "I'll go back with you."
Zhou Xiang was helpless. "Alright! Xiao Gu still has some photos. The day after tomorrow morning, Ji Bin will go to the bus stop and wait for him. The previous photos are in a cloth bag in the east room. Take them out. Find yours and take them away."
While everyone was looking at and sharing photos, Zhou's mother pulled her daughter over to the yard to talk. "Think about it, what else do you want to say?"
Zhou Xiang didn't plan to let her mother know for the time being. She wanted to confirm it first. In case she guessed wrong, her mother would still be able to keep her great father image in her heart.
"I need to talk to Brother Xiaosong about something. It will only take two or three days. It won't take too long."
"It's been almost a month since I came out. Have you called home?"
Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I forgot."
Mother Zhou nodded at her and said, "You acted wild as soon as you came out. Didn't you go home for the exam?"
"Hey, hey, I'm very busy. Don't worry. Anyway, if you delay for another two or three days, won't you bring some gifts back for your grandson?"
"Hmph! You're just rambling on. Okay, I'll wait for you for two or three more days."
The next morning, Zhou Xiang put on her backpack and stuffed Jiang Weihua's gift inside. If it was true, she didn't need this gift.
I called the number left by Mr. Yue at the newsstand and said I wanted to find Cao Xiaosong.
After waiting for a while, Cao Xiaosong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Zhou Xiang?"
"It's me, Brother Xiaosong. I want to see Jiang Weihua. I'm waiting for him at the Di'anmen bus stop."
Cao Xiaosong heard the seriousness in her tone and promised to help her contact Jiang Weihua immediately.
Jiang Weihua took a vacation in May and waited at home. Zhou Xiang said that she would come in the first half of the year. He also wanted to know the reason why Zhou Xiang resisted him, and why he felt inexplicably close to Zhou Xiang.
No matter what the reason was, he wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he took leave from the research institute early and waited for Zhou Xiang's arrival.
It was almost three months later. When he thought Zhou Xiang would not come, Xiaosong called him. Excited yet nervous, he got in a car and went to the Di'anmen bus stop.
At the bus stop, a pretty little girl was carrying a bulging backpack, with a cold and serious expression on her face.
He opened the car door and politely invited Zhou Xiang to get in. Zhou Xiang looked at his handsome face intently and said, "I'll give you a chance to regret it."
Jiang Weihua shook his head, "No, I want to die clearly."
Zhou Xiang lowered his head and got into the car, hoping that after you understood, you wouldn't regret it.
The driver and attendant were still the same two people from last year. They almost dropped their jaws when they saw the young master get out of the car and open the door for a teenage girl.
It was Xiao Gu who had sharp eyes and recognized this pretty girl. She was the dark and thin girl who made the young master lose his composure many times two years ago.
"Miss Zhou!"
"Xiao Gu."
Xiao Gu was a little flattered that Miss Zhou, who looked down on the young master, still remembered him.
"Thank you, Miss Zhou, for remembering me."
Zhou Xiang smiled faintly and said nothing.
When the driver heard what Xiao Gu said, he recognized it and immediately drove carefully. He didn't want to be stared at by the young master again.
It wasn't far, about ten minutes' drive, and the car stopped at the gate of a courtyard house.
Jiang Weihua got out of the car immediately, walked around the back of the car, and opened the door for Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang laughed in his heart. Such gentlemanly demeanor disappeared without a trace once they arrived at that remote place in the market town and in front of his elder brother's humbleness.
