When Shen Xiangzhi came back after a long walk, An Hongdou had already gotten up and packed clothes with An Changle and loaded two suitcases.
Then she pushed her bicycle to deliver food to Zhao Xiaoyue. The quantity was quite a lot. After all, her return date was uncertain and she didn't know when she would be able to come back.
As for Ergouzi, it is even more uncertain.
An Changyue was obviously in a good mood today. He was smiling the whole time, with a longing and yearning for the outside world.
After Chen Xiangzhi came back, the three of them pulled their luggage out and locked the door again.
Grandma Su left a spare key, so the children can come and get it themselves if they need anything.
The rumbling sound of the train began, and they also set out on the journey to a distant place.
Shenzhen and Jiangcheng are both in the southern region and are not too far away.
They boarded the train around dinner time and arrived at their destination around 11pm.
However, as soon as they got off the train, they were greeted by a rainstorm.
The three people were stuck at the station and couldn't get out.
The rain kept falling. An Hongdou pulled her suitcase to the toilet. When she came out, she was holding three umbrellas in her hands.
As you walk out of the train station, you can clearly see several homestays open.
"Let's find a place to live first. It's raining so hard, let's wait until tomorrow morning." Shen Xiangzhi said to An Hongdou.
"Okay, let's go to the one in the middle." At least the house looks better, and I hope the conditions inside are better too.
An Hongdou kept an eye on An Changyue the whole time. They were unfamiliar with the place and it would be bad if she lost the child.
Although An Hongdou chose the best one, it was obvious that the conditions inside were not as good as she had imagined, and it was not even clean enough.
I took the key from the owner of the B&B and walked to the door of the two rooms side by side. As soon as I opened the door, a damp smell came out.
The room separated by wooden boards was not very spacious and could barely accommodate a bed and a small corridor for walking.
The quilt on the bed was messy, and you could vaguely see the dirt left by the previous guest.
An Hongdou took a deep breath. Even though she had already paid, she still regretted choosing this B&B.
But when I think about it, judging from the appearance, the other two are not as good as this one, and the interior is probably not much better either.
As soon as she turned around, An Changyue came in from outside, pouting, "Aunt, the bed is so dirty!"
She frowned tightly and blushed as she said, "There's also the sound of the bed next door."
An Hongdou was a little slow to react at first, but in just a moment, her face turned pale.
Shen Xiangzhi was not much better than her. He immediately walked over and lifted the quilt, piled all the messy quilts on the bed in the corner, took out a small blanket from the suitcase and spread it on the wooden bed, and said, "Don't go back to your room. You two can sit on the bed and rest first. We will wait here until the rain stops and then leave."
This place is so shabby that not only is it impossible to sleep, it also affects the children's mental health.
An Changyue is fifteen years old, but she understands almost everything she should understand. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have begged to come here. She already felt that she was causing trouble for her aunt and uncle, and simple dirt would not force her to dare not go back to her room, but instead come here for help.
"Okay, just listen to your uncle and sit in the room for a while. When the rain stops, we'll find a better place to stay." An Hongdou pulled An Changyue to sit down. She didn't resist and just sat there obediently.
Chen Xiang knew: “I’ll go out and make a phone call first.”
When he came in, he saw there was a telephone at the counter at the door. Whether it was for public or private use, he could use it as long as he had money.
Chen Xiangzhi came back not long after he went out. An Hongdou was using a towel to wipe An Changyue's wet hair. After he came back, the three of them sat in the room for a while, and suddenly a car horn was heard outside.
Pressing it one by one, very happily.
Shen Xiangzhi stood up at once, “You two wait for a moment, I’ll go out and see if they’re here to pick us up.”
He went out and came back, and said, "Take the luggage and let's go."
An Hongdou didn't understand what was going on here, so she could only follow him obediently.
It was still raining outside. When I saw the three of them coming out with their luggage, the door of the car in front of them suddenly opened and a man got out jogging towards them.
The man had a tougher look and a buzz cut, which was completely different from Shen Xiangzhi's style.
"My wife is An Hongdou, and this is my niece An Changyue." Shen Xiangzhi looked at the man in front of him and introduced him, then told An Hongdou, "Hongdou, this is my former classmate Jiang Huai."
Jiang Huai simply nodded to An Hongdou as a greeting, and then went to take the luggage from her hand, "Let's go."
After saying that, he rushed into the rain and quickly put the luggage in the car.
Shen Xiangzhi opened the umbrella in his hand and handed it to the two of them. After taking care of them getting in the car, he sat in the passenger seat.
"I have two empty rooms. You can stay there first and move out once you find a place to live." Jiang Huai said this to Shen Xiangzhi.
Chen Xiangzhi glanced back at An Hongdou and nodded, "Then I can only trouble you for the time being."
It doesn't look like Shen Xiangzhi and Jiang Huai have a close relationship. They don't have the casualness and ease that they have with Zhao Peng. The conversation between them is also very indifferent, very methodical and rarely with nonsense.
In the car, they didn't say anything more specific, and Daan Hongdou vaguely heard that Shen Xiangzhi and Jiang Huai should be working together on something.
Moreover, it should be mainly because Shen Xiangzhi paid more, but Jiang Huai's family is very powerful, which is an aspect that Shen Xiangzhi needs to rely on.
The car crossed a long suspension bridge and stopped in front of a building.
Although it is a building, it is not new. Instead, it looks a bit shabby.
"Considering that we will be staying here for a long time, I bought a temporary place to live. I didn't tidy it up and just lived in it. You guys can live upstairs and you can choose which room you want." Jiang Huai said as he parked the car.
If he hadn't said that, An Hongdou would have thought that he was from Shenzhen.
However, should she also consider stocking up some houses here?
After all, this will be a key development area in the future, and housing prices will definitely rise like an airplane.
She had discussed this matter with Ergouzi, but due to the inconvenience in contacting him, she could only wait for Ergouzi to find her, so she didn't know what was going on over there.
It was a little cold because of the rain. An Hongdou, who was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, couldn't help shivering as soon as she got out of the car.
Forget it, forget it, let’s not think about it for now, let’s just deal with tonight first.
