After Chen Baoguo and his companions arrived in the south, they were completely stunned.
There were many lakes along the way. Maybe it was because it was summer. When he approached the southern city, he felt happy both physically and mentally.
His understanding of the South was also what he heard from Master Feng on the way here.
Every time he passed by a small town, he couldn't help but sigh that the small towns here were like shy little women, sometimes giving people tenderness and sometimes making people feel calm.
The road conditions are getting better and better along the way.
When they arrived at the place, they took a rest.
Master Feng said, "After dinner, have a good rest. You're getting married when you go back. Go around the shopping mall tomorrow and see if there's anything you want to buy for your wife."
Chen Baoguo thought the same thing and said, "Okay, thank you, Master Feng."
He also wanted to buy something for He Damei, but his salary for last month and the money he earned while traveling had not been paid yet, so he had to wait until he returned this month to get them.
However, he can take a walk first.
In the evening, the two of them went to the restaurant in the guesthouse to eat. The food was very exquisite, but it was full of sugar, which Chen Baoguo couldn't get used to. But in the end he gritted his teeth and ate his fill.
You know, this was the first hot meal they had on this trip.
After they finished their meal, they came back and rested.
Early the next morning, the two went shopping in a shopping mall. Chen Baoguo walked around and wanted to buy a watch for He Damei, but he only had a few dozen dollars.
He wanted to buy him something nice and didn't want to borrow money from others.
Even after receiving his first month's salary, he would first buy things for his elder brother and sister-in-law, and also pay them back for the money they spent on him.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that no matter how much money you earn in a month, it is not enough to spend.
As he thought of this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
However, having a job is much better than having no job.
When Chen Baoguo looked up, he happened to be in front of a shoe counter, and the salesperson's deep eyes met his.
There was a flash of shock in the salesperson's eyes. Such a tall and strong man, with a rough and wild look, it was obvious that he was not from their local area.
The salesperson retracted her gaze, smiled slightly, and said in a soft and tender voice: "Brother, do you want to buy some shoes?"
Chen Baoguo felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his ear and nodded.
"I bought a pair of black leather shoes for my wife. She wears size 38."
"Please wait a moment. This pair is the best-selling one today. Can you take a look at it?"
When Chen Baoguo saw the shoes, he thought the heels were a bit high. He Damei had to walk every day, so he decided to buy her a pair of shoes with lower heels.
"This one is a bit high, please help me find a pair that's lower."
The salesperson found a pair that was a little lower. Chen Baoguo was very satisfied with it and said, "Let's take this pair. Please help me find a pair in size 38."
"This pair is eighteen dollars. Please pay this way."
After Chen Baoguo paid, the salesperson handed him the shoes with both hands.
He and Master Feng walked around here, and all the sales clerks passing by looked at them.
As long as they are, they are both dark and tall.
People in the south are shorter than those in the north. They are not affected by the harsh environment and their skin is relatively good. When they saw the master and apprentice together, they might also be happy.
When passing by a hardware store, Chen Baoguo's eyes lit up when he saw a delicate and small vegetable knife.
He said, "Master Feng, wait for me, I'm going in to buy something."
The men seemed to be more interested in the hardware store. Master Feng said, "I'll come in and take a look too."
The two came in together, and Chen Baoguo asked: "Excuse me, how much is this bunch of vegetables?"
"Six."
Six pieces?
Six bucks seems a bit expensive.
Chen Baoguo: "Is there any cheaper one of the same style?"
The salesman said, "Brother, don't think it's expensive. This is the famous Wang Mazi vegetable in our area. Take a handful back and I guarantee you'll use it for at least thirty days.
This is not ordinary iron, it contains cast steel."
Chen Baoguo didn't understand either, but when he looked at her he could think of He Damei cooking.
She cooks well, so it’s nice to buy some vegetables to take home as a souvenir.
This dish is so affordable.
Chen Baoguo could even imagine He Damei's joyful look.
Without hesitation, he smiled and said, "Then please pack it for me."
When Feng Jun came back after a round of shopping, the vegetables had already been packed by the salesperson and Chen Baoguo had paid for them.
When the two of them came out of the grocery store, Master Feng asked them, "Why are you buying groceries?"
"For my wife."
"No, you go out and buy some vegetables for your wife. Aren't you afraid that she will chop you?"
Chen Baoguo chuckled and said, "No, I bought him a pair of leather shoes.
We are getting married and I want to buy her a souvenir. When I saw this watch, I thought it would be a good fit for her.
Take it back, she will definitely like it.”
Feng Jun paused and his eyes twitched.
Good boy, this is not the beginning of marriage. He doesn't know that women after marriage are sometimes gentle and sometimes irritable. He is not afraid of what will happen in the future.
He looked at the boy and found him to be normal, but a trace of doubt flashed through Feng Jun's mind.
Is he mentally ill? If a girl saw this, she would probably cry and commit suicide.
Who would send a bunch of vegetables as a gift for a wedding?
Hey kid, you'll just have to rely on yourself when you go back.
Feng Jun looked at Chen Baoguo holding the shoes and vegetables like they were precious to him, and held his forehead helplessly.
I didn't know that I would have thought he was holding a lump of gold or silver in his arms.
Before leaving, Chen Baoguo bought six barrels of black sesame paste.
Two buckets were given to my sister-in-law, two buckets were given to Damei, and two buckets were taken back to my hometown for my parents.
The dim sum here is also very famous, but Master Feng said that the journey is long and even if you wrap it in oil paper and bring it back, it will go bad.
After much deliberation, Chen Baoguo decided not to buy it.
The next day, the master and his apprentice loaded the goods and set out on their return journey.
In Chenjia Village, Zhang Qiang was going to the city for a meeting that day, and he also called Chen Dazhuang to go with him.
He went to a meeting and asked Chen Dazhuang to help Zhang Cuihua and her mother carry their things.
The tractor stopped in front of the Chen family's house, and Zhang Cuihua and Chen Xiaohong came out together.
Zhang Qiang was wearing a blue vest with a blue shirt on the outside, black pants and a pair of black cloth shoes today.
He stood next to the tractor, and his deep eyes filled with apology met Chen Xiaohong's. Chen Xiaohong pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Chen Xiaohong felt a little uneasy when she thought about what he said that day.
He probably... looks down on me, too, right?
Zhang Qiangyu: "Aunt, let me help you up."
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "Thank you, Qiangzi."
Zhang Qiang supported Zhang Cuihua and let her go up first.
Chen Xiaohong had a bad leg. When she stood aside, Zhang Qiang stretched out his palm which was covered with calluses.
"Let me help you up."
Chen Xiaohong said in a mosquito-sized voice: "Thank you."
Zhang Qiang said he was helping. He held Chen Xiaohong's arm with one hand and put his other hand around her waist. Before Chen Xiaohong could put much effort, she was standing in the back cabin of the tractor.
