Chapter 58, Life is Not Easy
"It's the stuff we feed chickens with every day. It has a strong smell. The stuff we make ourselves isn't as delicious as the ones in the store, so not many people eat it. It's all used to feed the chickens." Grandma He explained softly.
When Mei Xue heard this, she was stunned. Can people eat food that is fed to chickens?
Forget it, I'll just watch and see how the boss does it, and then go back and try it myself.
The two bowls of rice tofu really whetted people's appetite.
Mei Xue smiled when she saw the Houttuynia cordata in the bowl. She dug this thing up every day, but she always used it to feed chickens and pigs. She never expected...
Pick up one and put it in your mouth.
Well, how should I put it, the taste is a bit weird, but it's acceptable, it's just too salty.
"Are you used to it?" Grandma He was worried that Xiaoxue wouldn't be able to eat it.
"Not bad, grandma, please eat quickly. Eating something spicy will make you feel better."
The two of them started moving immediately.
After eating a bowl of rice tofu, I feel alive again.
After eating and drinking, it's time to work. Grandma He was worried about her grandson, so she wanted to go see Anze first. As for the plum wine, she felt it would be more reassuring to let Anze go and ask.
Mei Xue didn't know what her grandmother was thinking, but compared to plum wine, Mei Xue valued her grandmother more. When she heard that her grandmother was going to see He Anze, she had no objection.
She also wanted to meet that man and talk to him if possible.
A loveless marriage was not what she wanted. If she hadn’t married into the He family, she would have wanted to be her grandmother’s granddaughter.
After walking for a while, Grandma He saw a familiar gate. She had been here once.
"Xiaoxue, look, that's where the parking lot is. Xiaoze works there." There are cars coming in and out here, including trucks and small cars.
Mei Xue didn't expect that He Anze would actually work in the motorcade. "Grandma, let's go in. It's sunny outside." After dinner, the sun was high in the sky and it was hot.
"Hey, come on, grandma will take you to find Anze." Grandma He thought Xiaoxue wanted to see Anze.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much stuff on them, so they could handle it by walking around more.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the motorcade. Grandma He didn't know where An Ze was, so she could only go to the guard to ask.
"Hello, is this the transport team?" Grandma He was a little nervous.
The security guard was an old man, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s. When he heard someone asking, he immediately stuck his head out and said, "Yes, sister, who are you looking for?"
The old man looked very kind and had a smile on his face.
"I'm looking for my grandson. He works here. Brother, do you know He Junqi?" When Grandma He saw the smile on the old man's face, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.
Mei Xue stood aside and watched, not asking or saying anything.
"I know her. Haha, you are that boy's grandmother. Well, not bad. You girls come in first. It's sunny outside." The old man opened the door and let them come in first.
"Thank you."
Taking Mei Xue into the house, it was indeed much cooler inside. There was a large iron fan placed in the corner, blowing the cool air.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to highlight itself.
"Big brother, it's so cool in here, so comfortable." As soon as she entered the door, Grandma He was hit by a cool breeze.
Mei Xue also felt very comfortable and moved away a little to let the wind blow on her.
"Haha, it's quite comfortable. Come and sit down, come and sit down." It was obvious that the old man was very familiar with He Junqi, otherwise why would he be so polite when he heard that it was his grandmother.
"Why are you here at this time? Isn't your home busy?" asked the old man who knew He Junqi.
Grandma He was amused by his tone, "Big Brother is familiar with Jun Qi?"
"Yes, that boy is a good one. He takes good care of me every day."
The old man couldn't stop talking and immediately started praising He Junqi to the old lady.
Mei Xue, who was listening at the side, thought that this person was quite nice. However, she lived by the principle of listening to people 10% and trusting them 30% of the time, so she just sat aside and enjoyed the breeze.
Not much to say.
After praising him for a while, the old lady got down to business, "Isn't Jun Qi here now?"
"Yes, something happened to the team. Last time he asked for leave, something happened to his route. So, he left last month and hasn't come back yet."
Speaking of this, the old man was also very worried.
He was worried that the transport team would not be able to continue and he would be unemployed.
"It's been a month, isn't it?" The old lady immediately became nervous, "Big brother, please tell me what's going on."
The old man did not lie to her. He told her what he knew and also said some words of comfort.
"Don't worry, big sister. Jun Qi is a stable kid. He'll be fine. Besides, he went with two other people from the convoy. If anything went wrong, they would have returned long ago."
As a family member, how can we not worry? No matter how safe it is, how can we not worry when we are away from home?
"Then do you know when they will be back?" Grandma He asked, clutching her clothes tightly.
You can see that she is very nervous.
When Mei Xue saw her grandmother like this, she immediately stepped forward, held her hand, gave her strength, and looked at the old man.
"Maybe in these few days. If you come a few days later, you might be able to meet him." Why is he so sure? Because recently their boss has a smile on his face, which proves that the last robbery incident has been resolved.
"Oh, so that's it. I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back." The old lady patted her chest to calm her beating heart.
"Of course he can come back, big sister, don't worry, Junqi is fine. Maybe he will get a bonus when he comes back this time." The old man said with envy.
You know, the team’s income is enviable.
Grandma He doesn’t care about bonuses or anything like that. What she cares about is her grandson, He Junqi.
After getting the confirmation, Grandma He glanced at Xiaoxue. Seeing her sitting quietly, she blamed herself for neglecting her.
"That's fine, big brother. We won't disturb you at work. If Jun Qi comes back, ask him to find some time to come back home. We need him for something at home."
"No problem, I've brought this matter to you. Sister, why don't you take a rest?" Seeing the old lady stand up, the old man immediately asked with concern.
"No, I still have things to do. Big brother, you go ahead and we'll leave first." I originally wanted to ask Jun Qi to help me find and sell the plum wine, but I didn't expect...
"If anything happens, I won't keep you here. Be careful."
"Hey, thank you, old man."
After leaving the transport team, Grandma He stopped smiling and said, "Xiaoxue, how come you run into robbers while driving a car?"
There, there were some things she couldn't say, but in front of Xiaoxue, there was nothing she couldn't say.
Mei Xue knew a little about it, she had also done such a thing.
"Life is not easy." Mei Xue said coldly.
Today, something as big as an earthquake happened in the author’s family. I’m not in the mood to write. If everything goes well tomorrow, I’ll be able to update. If not... I wish you all good health... Nothing is more important than good health!
Wish my uncle to get through this difficult time
