Zhang Ning brought Ji Bin and Xue Zhendong. Xue Zhendong was very willing to follow Zhou Xiang's steps. Wang Shaoming also wanted to go, but his family disagreed.
They agreed to meet in the county town on the 25th, so Zhou Xiang went to the city to find Zhou Yizhou to book a ticket. She had promised that she would go see him when she came back.
Ling Ran wanted to go along, but Zhou Xiang was a little hesitant because she still needed to get some eggs for Zhou Yizhou.
Ling Ran didn't want to embarrass her, "I'll wait for you in the county town. I'll take you to see my grandfather."
Zhou Xiang's body stiffened slightly, "Grandpa is back?"
"Yeah! I've been back for a year. My health isn't very good, so I came back to retire."
"What about your aunt and the others?"
"Only my aunt has returned to serve Grandpa."
Zhou Xiang couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Ling Ran comforted her, "Don't think too much. This is all your own fault."
"Do your parents have any ideas?"
Ling Ran took her hand and played with it. "My dad only visited Grandpa once when he came back, and he never went again. He has resentment towards Grandpa and Auntie, but of course he can't hate you. My mom loves you so much that she can't wait!"
Zhou wanted to break free from his hand, "Then let's go! You go to the old man's place and wait for me. I'll go straight there after I come back from the city."
"Okay! I'll wait for you!"
In six years, the town has hardly changed, the county has seen some changes, and the city has changed a lot. The most obvious change is that there are many more private stores, including clothing and shoe stores, daily necessities stores, restaurants, and hotels. These four types of stores cover people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Many hotels are no longer called hotels, but guesthouses. Six years ago, that hotel was demolished and a shopping mall was built.
Zhou Xiang found a hotel near the shopping mall. When he checked into the room, the waiter looked at him strangely.
Zhou Xiang patted the service desk. "What's that look in your eyes? It's disgusting."
I haven't felt so humiliated in a few years. I have always been protected by Jiang Weihua.
The waiter was startled and his expression changed immediately. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
"Humph! If it wasn't intentional, then it was intentional?"
Another person at the front desk quickly came over to help, smiling very kindly, "I'm sorry, I'll check you in."
Don't hit a smiling person, Zhou Xiang stopped nagging and said, "Alright! Hurry up."
Because it attracted attention, Zhou Xiang couldn't take out the wicker basket in his space, so he had to go out and buy one.
After getting several baskets of eggs, Zhou Xiang took out his cell phone and called Zhou Yizhou.
When Zhou Yizhou heard Zhou Xiang's voice, he immediately complained to her, "Little sister, it's been six years and you finally called me. Are you back? Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Zhou wanted to tell her the hotel address, but Zhou Yizhou said, "Little sister, why don't you just come home? Why go to the hotel?"
"I brought a lot of eggs here, come and get some." Zhou wanted to lure him to stop him from nagging. He became nagging as he got older.
Sure enough, "Little sister, wait! I'll be there soon."
Within twenty minutes, there was a knock on Zhou Xiang's room door. Along with Zhou Yizhou was the waiter who checked her in.
The waiter's smile was genuine. "Miss Zhou, we didn't know you were Mr. Zhou's sister. Please forgive us for any inadequacies in our hospitality."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry."
The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhou, for your understanding."
Zhou Yizhou looked at the waiter and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Xiang, "Brother, hurry up and get these away. I have something else to talk to you about."
Zhou Yizhou waved the waiter away and smiled at Zhou Xiang, "My little sister has grown taller and prettier."
Zhou Xiang loved hearing people say she had grown taller, and she nodded, "Yeah! It's been six years, how could I not grow taller?"
"You still know it's been six years? I thought you had forgotten me."
"How is that possible? Even if I forget someone, it's impossible for me to forget my eldest brother."
The two were about to carry the basket out when the waiter came over with three male waiters. "Mr. Zhou, we're here to help."
Seeing that someone was helping him, Zhou Xiang followed with empty hands.
Four baskets of eggs were loaded onto Zhou Yizhou's jeep. Zhou Xiang patted the car and said, "Brother, why haven't you changed them yet?"
"I think this car is OK to drive. It's perfect for going to the countryside sometimes. Come on in!"
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "I'm not going. I have something else to do! Buy me a sleeper berth on the 25th to Beijing. There are 17 people."
"The whole family is going? That's over the limit, right?"
"Classmates and friends, going there to work."
"Have you settled in the capital?"
"No, I'm currently working there. My home is still here."
"Okay! Remember to come and see me when you get back."
"good!"
After waving goodbye to Zhou Yizhou, Zhou Xiang returned to Huai County. Zhou Zuoping was already a senior official in the city, so she didn't want to have any contact with him. Moreover, Zhou Yizhou was still a director in the Municipal Party Committee.
Her efforts were in vain. Perhaps Zhou Yizhou was only suitable to be a second-generation official who lived a life of idleness and waiting for death.
With her and Jiang Weihua's identities, they could also buy consecutive sleeper tickets through the back door, but she didn't want to reveal where she had been.
Today, seeing that Zhou Yizhou's personality has not changed, she stopped pulling him. Maybe this is better, let's just keep them neither too close nor too far!
After returning to Huai County, I bought a small wicker basket and a piece of cloth to cover it.
When we arrived at Grandpa Ling's yard, the basket was already full of eggs.
Ling Ran waited at the gate for a long time. When he saw Zhou Xiang from afar, he ran to her side and said, "What are you carrying? Let me carry it!"
"Good! There are eggs inside, eggs that have some health benefits."
