Chapter 239 Arrival
Time flies, and three or five days seem to pass in the blink of an eye.
Due to the heavy snow that never stopped, the mountain roads were completely frozen, and few households went out for a stroll.
As the New Year is getting closer, everyone is busy in the house smoking bacon in preparation for the New Year.
After calculating the date, my brother and his companions should arrive in Gushi this afternoon. Before noon, Suning rushed to the village committee office and called Zhang Ze to remind him again about picking up the person.
…
He told his wife to tidy up the yard and change the bedding, while he went to buy some coal briquettes and charcoal.
Looking at the time, Zhang Ze arrived at the train station platform an hour earlier to wait.
But it took two hours to pick up the person.
"Brother Zhang!" "Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Ze smiled and patted Su Wei on the shoulder, then nodded to everyone, "Good boy, you have grown a lot stronger."
What he said is absolutely right. It has only been less than a month or two, and she was originally so thin that she looked like skin and bones, but now not only her face has become rounder, but her body has also become plump.
Su Wei smiled foolishly. His sister left so many things behind before she left. He must have become fat.
Speaking of sister... Su Wei stood on tiptoe and looked around for a few times but still couldn't see her figure. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Brother Zhang, where is my sister?"
"Yeah, why don't I see Sister Ningning?"
"Ningning is in the first brigade under Hongqi Commune. It's snowing heavily there and the mountain is closed so she can't get in or out for the time being."
"ah?"
Su Wei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Jiang Xiaojun and the others were also confused.
He came here specially to spend the New Year with her. Now the mountain is closed and it is difficult to get in and out. What should they do?
"Hahaha, stop blowing in the cold wind here. Let's go back with Brother Zhang first. We'll see what happens in a couple of days. There are still a few days until the New Year, so let's not rush."
…
South Gate 1st Street.
Bringing people to the gate of Su's courtyard, Zhang Ze opened the lock and smiled at several curious faces.
"This is your sister's home in Gu City. She named it the Su Family Courtyard. She put a lot of effort into decorating it."
"Sister's house?!"
Su Wei, who was still a little nervous, heard this, and his eyes, which were very similar to Su Ning's, lit up instantly.
Although Brother Zhang is a very nice person, they have only met once after all. It would be embarrassing if they were to feed so many mouths at his house for who knows how many days.
After all, whose food is blown by the wind and can withstand such damage?
Now that I know I'm coming to my sister's home and not Brother Zhang's, I feel relieved.
Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaoman also looked less uncomfortable and anxious.
Walking into the yard with large and small bags, several people were immediately attracted by the layout of the yard.
Especially the uniquely shaped grape trellis and the double swing with backrests. It would be so comfortable and relaxing to sit and swing while eating grapes in the summer.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
The wind chimes under the eaves made crisp sounds with the wind.
"The yard that Xiao Ning decorated is really beautiful!"
"Haha, this isn't the most beautiful moment yet."
Zhang Ze felt an inexplicable sense of pride. His already straight spine became even straighter. He put down what he was holding and pointed at the flower wall.
After they all looked in the direction of his finger with curiosity, he continued to explain.
"That flower wall is planted with vines with two-color flowers. When the flowers bloom, it spreads from beginning to end. Anyone who sees it will be amazed!"
"Wow, it must be really beautiful just thinking about it!"
It was obvious that as a girl, Jiang Xiaoman was more interested in this flower wall. She even felt a little regretful in her heart that she didn't get to enjoy such a dreamy and beautiful scene.
Zhang Ze continued to take them around the courtyard, explaining clearly what was placed in each room.
"Okay, you guys take a rest first, and then we'll go to the compound we just passed to have dinner. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" "Thank you, Brother Zhang."
They walked him to the gate of the courtyard, thanked him together, and then the brothers and sisters turned around and entered the gate after seeing him walking towards the courtyard not far away.
…
Seeing that no one came to the clinic in the afternoon, Suning looked absent-minded again and kept looking at the time.
Wu Meng held her hand and said, "Susu, if something happens...you should go back here first. I will watch over you."
"Yes, Ningning, we are here with you, if you have anything to do, just go and do it, it won't be a problem!"
Noticing that she had been absent-minded the whole afternoon, Jinhua followed her daughter with concern and worry in her eyes and advised, "Ningning, if there is anything we can help with, you must speak up!"
"Auntie Meng, you misunderstood. Nothing happened. It's just that my brother came here from Jilin Province."
"That's a good thing, it's a good thing!"
I smiled and nodded. Isn't this a good thing? If there hadn't been this sudden heavy snowfall, the mountain would have been blocked...
After thinking about it, Suning stood up and looked at the light snow still falling outside.
When the time came, Wu Meng and I put the medicinal materials on the pill shelf back into the cabinet and locked it before leaving the clinic to look for Grandpa Su.
After getting the key to the village committee office and calling the Nanmen Street Office, Suning sat in a chair waiting for a call back.
Half an hour later, the bell finally rang.
I quickly picked up the receiver, but before I could open my mouth, I heard an excited call from the other end.
"Sister, is it my sister?"
"It's me, Xiao Wei."
"Sister, we are here. We just had dinner at Brother Zhang's house. Have you eaten yet?"
Hearing her brother's concern, Su Ning couldn't help but have a soft light in her eyes, and the smile on her face became brighter, "Sister, I'll eat when I get home."
"Then sister, please go back quickly and remember to eat!"
"By the way, sister, how long will the mountain be closed over there? Is it really impossible to go in or out? What if it's still closed during the New Year?"
She also felt helpless about her brother's problem. After all, the weather is not something that can be controlled by humans.
But Zi Fei's luck is so incredible. I wonder if she can really achieve her wish of stopping the snow and melting it by silently praying every day?
You can try...
"We can only wait and see. Xiaowei still has a lot of food in the kitchen. If you are short of anything, remember to tell Brother Zhang. Don't be embarrassed, okay? Brother Zhang is not an outsider."
"Well, I've got it in mind. There's everything in the room, don't worry about us, sis."
The brother and sister chattered to each other for a long time before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
We were so far apart that it was not easy to see each other.
Now we are finally in Shonan, but we still can't meet. The closer we are, the more I can't control my longing for you.
Sighing secretly, Su Ning took out a purple jade teardrop-shaped pendant from the space to replace the peace jade pendant he had been wearing around his neck.
The cold touch against her skin made her shiver. She reached in and covered it, only letting go when it felt a little warm.
She put the jade peace token back into Taoyuan's bedroom, stood up and walked out of the office, locked the door, tightened the scarf around her neck, and plunged into the wind and snow.
After returning the key to Grandpa Su's house, I finally managed to decline their enthusiastic invitation to dinner and hurried back to the ancestral home.
From a distance, he saw Yan Bei walking back and forth in front of the gate and looking over here from time to time. Su Ning smiled and quickened his pace to meet him.
"Ningning, why are you so late today?"
He held her hands very familiarly and wrapped them tightly with his big hands.
He rubbed her cold fingers, then put them close to his mouth and blew a few puffs of hot air, "My godfather and godmother are all worried. If you don't come back, I will have to look for you along the way."
"Didn't Xiao Wei and the others come over today? It would be a little late for me to call him."
"The people have arrived? Are they in the courtyard now?"
"We're here. Yes, we're all in the courtyard."
My brother-in-law is here, but what about the engagement party?
After entering the door, Yan Bei still held her hand tightly, "Ningning, Xiao Wei and the others can't come in, what about our engagement party?"
Glancing at the man with a worried look on his face and furrowed brows, Su Ning pinched his palm lightly with amusement, "What are you worried about? Maybe it will be sunny tomorrow and the snow will melt the day after tomorrow?"
"What are you two talking about standing in the yard in the howling snow? Come inside and warm yourself by the fire. Ningning, you are a girl and you are not as tough as a rough guy. Don't catch a cold!"
"Haha got it, let's go big brother!"
