Chapter 238: People from Qiligou
238
"Hey kid, hurry up! We won't be able to buy tickets to South Island soon, and we'll have to stay another day, which will cost more money."
Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue looked towards the source of the voice at the same time, and saw Uncle Xu pulling his grandson Xu Zhiwei towards the exit.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance, both with surprise in their eyes. They hadn't heard correctly; they were talking about going to South Island. What were they going to South Island for? They must be going to see them.
The two of them called out to the grandfather and grandson in tacit understanding: "Second Uncle Xu!"
"Grandpa Xu!"
Uncle Xu and Xu Zhiwei felt as if someone was calling them (his grandfather), but they did not turn around. This was impossible. This was Kyoto, and they didn't know anyone. Who would call them?
They must be looking for someone else. The two continued walking towards the exit. They had to hurry and buy tickets. Tickets were so hard to come by these days. They weren't always available. I heard there were tickets available today, but if they missed out, they'd have to wait for several days.
Uncle Xu was very concerned about the little money in his pocket.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had no intention of stopping, Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai ran towards them. Tang Shengkai grabbed Uncle Xu's arm, and Uncle Xu shuddered in fear, "Ouch!"
He quickly pulled his arm back, thinking he was being robbed. When he turned around and saw that it was Tang Shengkai, the shock on his face was so great that no one could ignore it.
"Sheng, Shengkai?"
"Second Uncle, why are you in Kyoto?"
They both spoke at the same time, and then there were surprise smiles on their faces.
Before the two could continue talking, Xu Zhiwei and Tang Yue had already met at the same time. Xu Zhiwei looked down at Tang Yue and said, "Oh, the ugly freak seems to have become more beautiful, but why are you still so short?"
Tang Yue......
The good mood of seeing her hometown family was instantly gone. Very good, Xu Zhiwei, she remembered. This wasn't the first time he had disliked her like this. Especially, he had said he was short.
Uncle Xu slapped Xu Zhiwei on the head and said, "Kid, I don't know what the purpose of your mouth is."
Tang Yue...Haha, it’s still the familiar recipe.
Xu Zhiwei was already accustomed to his grandfather's beatings and didn't feel any pain at all. He even looked at Tang Yue with a smile, "Ugly freak, weren't you guys in South Island? Why are you in Kyoto?
Well, if that's the case, then we'll have to miss out on a few days of train travel. I haven't had enough of that yet."
Tang Yue really didn't know how to describe Xu Zhiwei. Just that green train, packed with people, the smell was almost unbearable. Even so, Xu Zhiwei acted like he had earned a good deal.
Tang Shengkai finally found the topic, "Second Uncle, why are you here?"
Uncle Xu had already looked at Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue several times. Seeing that they were in great spirits and Shengkai looked much younger than when he was at home, he felt relieved.
"Hey, we haven't heard from you since you left, and we don't know how you're doing. We're always thinking about you. Now that the weather is warmer, I'm thinking of going to South Island to see you.
It's a good opportunity to bring this brat out to see the world. I didn't expect you guys to be in Kyoto. What? Didn't you go to South Island? If that's the case, it's a good thing we met here, otherwise our trip would have been in vain."
Tang Shengkai still didn't know when Uncle Xu developed the characteristic of being a chatterbox.
"No, Uncle, we are indeed in South Island. We came to Kyoto for something..."
Seeing that her father seemed to want to continue chatting with Grandpa Xu, Tang Yue quickly interrupted him.
"Dad, let's take Grandpa Xu back first. We can talk about it after he's settled."
Tang Shengkai finally realized, "Haha, that's right. Look, I was so excited that I forgot about it. Come on, Second Uncle, you guys follow me first. When I return to South Island, we'll go back together."
Now that he had met the person, Uncle Xu was no longer in a hurry. It was not too late to discuss the rest of the matters later. He raised his foot and prepared to follow Tang Shengkai.
His hand was held by his grandson, and Uncle Xu lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Grandpa, there's Uncle Qian."
Uncle Xu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, you see, I forgot about this."
Uncle Xu looked around and saw Qian Xing standing not far from them, carrying a piece of luggage and smiling at them. He quickly waved, "Hey, Xingzi, come here quickly. Your brother Tang San is here."
Only then did Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue notice there was someone standing there. The train station was bustling with people, and Tang Yue wouldn't pay much attention to anyone she didn't know. And she didn't even know Qian Xing.
Qian Xing came over carrying the luggage and smiled at Tang Shengkai, "Brother Tang San, I see you're in the capital."
Tang Shengkai was even more surprised, "Xingzi, why did you come here too?"
Uncle Xu pulled Tang Shengkai's hand and said, "Let's go first. I'll talk to you on the way."
Tang Shengkai felt the same way, so he told a few people to go out. They completely forgot about the existence of Chang Yin.
After leaving the train station, Tang Shengkai suddenly remembered, "My dear, where is your battalion commander?"
Tang Yue turned around and pointed at Chang Yin. Chang Yin came forward and Tang Shengkai smiled at Chang Yin embarrassedly, "Second Uncle Xu, Xingzi, I forgot to introduce you just now. This is Yueyue's battalion commander, Captain Chang.
Let’s go back together.”
Before Second Uncle Xu could even say hello, Xu Zhiwei's voice rose several notches, "Oh, this battalion commander is so handsome. Are all the soldiers this good-looking? Then I want to join the army, too."
Uncle Qian, look, you can become this handsome even after you join the army."
Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai exchanged a glance. Xu Zhiwei was truly disgusted. However, they also received new information: Qian Xing wanted to join the army.
Second Uncle Xu was about to give Xu Zhiwei another slap, but Tang Shengkai stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "Second Uncle, the kid is honest and didn't say anything wrong."
Uncle Xu apologized to Chang Yin sheepishly, "Well, Captain Chang, I'm so sorry. This kid just speaks too quickly and says everything. Please don't take it to heart."
Chang Yin's eyes shone with a smile. He actually found Xu Zhiwei quite interesting. It was truly rare to gain so much weight these days. However, this kid wasn't bad at all. He just had a bit of a sharp tongue.
"It's okay. He praised me for my good looks and I was happy."
Xu Zhiwei's eyes widened. Just as he was about to open his mouth, his mouth was covered by Uncle Xu's hand. This kid never said anything nice when he opened his mouth.
Xu Zhiwei forcefully pulled Uncle Xu's hand down, "Grandpa, what are you doing? I just wanted to say that the battalion commander has a nice voice."
The rest of his words were blocked by Uncle Xu. He was afraid that the next words would not be good.
Today they were delivered by the army vehicle, and everyone got into the back of the vehicle together. Xu Zhiwei touched and looked at things curiously, and shared them with Tang Yue from time to time.
"Oh, ugly."
Tang Yue stared at him and said in a leisurely voice, "If you call me ugly again, I will pull out your tongue."
Xu Zhiwei smacked his lips. "Oh, I know you're not ugly anymore, but I'm used to calling you that. Have you forgotten how horrible you looked when you were sick? Most people would have nightmares if they saw you.
I tell you, this is still my courage..."
Tang Yue directly reached out and pressed Xu Zhiwei's mute point. This kid was really annoying. He couldn't even say a nice word.
Xu Zhiwei stared at Tang Yue with wide eyes. What did she mean? He tried to open his mouth several times, but no words came out. He was so scared that he almost cried.
Second Uncle Xu was telling Tang Shengkai what happened in the village after they left when he noticed that his eldest grandson had shut up and immediately turned his head with curiosity.
As a result, he saw Xu Zhiwei looking at him with tears in his eyes and asking for help.
Uncle Xu didn't know what was wrong and laughed at him, "Hey, why aren't you talking? You've finally stopped talking. Please let me have some peace and quiet. You're just endless all day long."
Chang Yin clenched his fist to his lips and chuckled. In fact, the grandfather and grandson were the same.
Xu Zhiwei dropped two golden beans with two clicks.
Uncle Xu was shocked. Seeing Xu Zhiwei gesture that he couldn't speak, he became a little anxious. What's going on? This child seems to be unable to speak?
He looked at Tang Yue anxiously, "Yueyue, what's wrong? What happened to Zhiwei?"
