Chu Xi was in a very good mood after the big sweep. She hummed a little tune all the way and teleported back to the county guesthouse. We need an alibi, right? Although she actually wanted to see the rich expressions of the Li family after they found out that they had been "swept away"...
That must be quite exciting!
But she didn't want to wait that long, so she decided to go home and sleep soundly with Little Stone in her arms!
Thinking about the bedding used by those people, Chu Xi directly threw it to the wolves in the space to make some use of the waste.
I didn't know when I fell asleep.
I just felt that everything was developing as expected, my family and loved ones were safe and healthy, and my uneasy heart was finally at ease.
The next morning, Chu Xi was awakened by the noisy sounds on the street. The loudspeakers at that time were very characteristic of the times and would be used for a very long time.
Checking the system time, Chu Xi hurriedly helped Xiao Shitou get dressed, wash up, and eat. Chu Zewen, who was scheduled to meet him, should be arriving soon.
Just looking at the pile of things prepared for him yesterday, Chu Xi directly took out a military backpack. These things took up a lot of space.
Sure enough, just as I finished packing, Chu Zewen came knocking on the door...
Xiao Shitou's affectionate call of "Uncle" made Chu Zewen, who came early in the morning, feel stunned instantly!
The three of them went straight to the street and started strolling. In fact, Chu Xi mainly wanted to help him buy some useful things and save the money he gave him yesterday. It was always unsafe to keep it on his body.
"Uncle, I want to eat candied haws! Uncle, uncle, I want to eat White Rabbit milk candy..."
The three people who entered the department store were basically attracted by Xiao Shitou's voice. Chu Zewen, who had just become an uncle, was also very interested. He pointed and bought whatever the customers wanted. He was happy to finally become an elder.
Next to them, Chu Xi was also happy watching the two interacting. She followed them silently from behind, while also paying attention to the goods in the building to see if there was anything her brother needed or anything she could take back.
You can bring back some Sichuan specialties for your parents to try.
Tianfu peanuts are quite famous in later generations. Chu Xi's mouth watered as he looked at the row of peanut snacks in front of him. Fried peanuts, salt-boiled peanuts, five-spice peanuts, peanut candy, peanut cakes, peanut crisps, etc., were said to have a history of dozens or even hundreds of years. Chu Xi took the opportunity to buy some extra to eat on the way...
There is also tea, which is rare in the Northeast. Glass counters are filled with various teas, all of which look beautiful.
Since ancient times, Sichuan has been known for its "the best teahouses in the world". Walking in the streets and alleys, you can see groups of people gathering together to drink tea everywhere.
Chu Xi also bought a lot according to his preferences, including bamboo leaf green tea, jasmine tea, green tea, etc. He could bring some to his two masters, they would definitely like it.
There are also some traditional craftsmen who weave various small handicrafts with bamboo. They look beautiful. Xiao Shitou is very happy holding a bamboo dragonfly and buys some of them all. This is cultural heritage!
There are also some local specialties such as Hanyuan pepper, Zitong powder, etc., which can be taken back as gifts or eaten by yourself.
Of course, Chu Xi still brought the two of them to buy Chu Zewen a lot of ready-made clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc. If he hadn't stopped her, Chu Xi would have even wanted to empty the department store...
Just looking at the things hanging on the three people when they came out, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Back at the guesthouse, Chu Xi explained the contents of the backpack one by one.
Especially those four watches, Chu Zewen was excited again. These were not easy to buy. Looking at the exquisite reflective watch body, he fell in love with them instantly...
Thinking about what might happen when he gave the watch to Su Jin, Chu Zewen immediately became a little uneasy and wanted to go back immediately.
I didn't think it through before and was afraid of getting others into trouble, so I rejected the other party in a subtle way. Now the situation has improved and my family's situation is getting better and better. He will work hard in the future and their future will definitely be bright.
"By the way, sister, the village was very lively last night."
Chu Zewen seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression was very excited.
"First, there was a fire in the middle of the night yesterday. Then, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family was found secretly meeting with Wang, the carpenter from the east end, and there was a lot of noise. Later, when everyone went home to rest, it was reported that the Li family had been robbed. It was said that all their belongings were stolen. Except for the quilts on the two sleeping children, nothing was left. Even the vegetables in the private plot at the back were dug up. The whole family was stunned. The whole village was watching the excitement and whispered that it was retribution! Someone must be deliberately disgusting them. They have many enemies."
Chu Zewen felt like he had gotten his revenge, and he couldn't stop talking...
"Also, I drank the water in your thermos yesterday and got diarrhea right away. But I feel much better now. I feel so much stronger. When I woke up this morning, my skin seemed to have become much whiter. It's amazing."
"From now on, you must remember to drink that thing carefully, and don't tell anyone. It's a special recipe, a secret recipe given to me by my Chinese medicine master. It's very precious, so be sure to keep it secret, otherwise you might get into trouble."
Chu Xi deliberately spoke in a mysterious way for safety reasons.
Happy times always pass quickly, but reunions are always short-lived, and separation is inevitable sooner or later...
When Chu Xi suggested going back directly, Chu Zewen was extremely reluctant.
Over the past few years, he has grown up from a young boy, and has faced everything alone. He has never complained about the hardship and tiredness, but he is also very lonely and worried about his relatives far away.
Always in the dead of night, like a lone wolf, silently using his tongue to clean the wounds...
Therefore, he was very happy and very content during the two days that Chu Xi came.
Just like a wanderer who has been away from home for many years returning home, he will act coquettishly, be cute, and pamper Xiao Shitou. Even if he has to endure hardships and tiredness in the future, he will be willing to spend money on Xiao Shitou. That kind of love for his child makes him, a grown man, very fond of him.
When a person wanders around for a long time and gets used to pretending to be strong after being hurt, he will gradually miss his hometown and relatives more and more.
No matter how good the people and places outside are, you can't find a place that belongs to you.
No matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it cannot fill the desolation deep in my heart.
No one knows how much pain you are in physically and mentally, and no one understands how hard you are working.
In fact, after more than three years of working in the countryside, he has become accustomed to the wind, rain, snow and frost here.
No matter how hard or tired I am, I just think in my heart that as long as my family is well, no matter how far apart we are, everything will be fine.
However, when his sister came to him, this big boy who had always been the youngest in the family seemed to have the weakest part of his heart awakened. He had someone to rely on and depend on, and that feeling was very happy!
Touching the pillow, shoes, and water bottle that his sister had prepared for him, Chu Zewen, a man over 1.8 meters tall, even shed tears. How much he longed to return to the days of family reunion and carefree times...
Life is not perfect, happiness is not forever, and only the twists and turns can outline the beauty of life.
