Chapter 59 Departure to Shanghai
"Just listen to Uncle Luo's arrangements. Clerical work is not tiring and is suitable for you."
"I know, I know!"
The two adults and the little boy returned home chatting and laughing, only to find a door god standing at the gate.
Hearing the sound from afar, Fu Jiaming immediately stood up from the steps in front of the door. Seeing their surprised expressions, he couldn't help but reveal his big white teeth.
"Finally you're back. What have you been doing? I've been waiting for the flowers on the wall to bud and bloom."
"You want to see the flowers blooming on the wall before us? You're dreaming!"
Ever since the dinner last night, Luo Shuangshuang has been displeased with him.
How can a gay man so rudely snatch food from a pretty lesbian?
He didn't have any of the manners of his buddy Yan Bei. He ate very politely and when he saw Ning Baogai had a dish that was difficult to pick up, he kindly pushed his plate over to him. The two of them were very harmonious.
On the other hand, the two of them were in a state of chaos, and they were just about to have a finger-guessing fight with me to decide who would get the food!
The biggest problem is that the man in front of me not only robs, but also shows off after he succeeds. This is something that my uncle can tolerate, but my aunt can’t!
"Haha, Comrade Luo Shuangshuang, do you dare to make a bet?"
Seeing her look like someone stepped on a cat's tail and her fur instantly stood up, Fu Jiaming's smile deepened and he couldn't help but want to tease her even more.
It turns out that there are people just like me, both naive and picky.
Forgetting the purpose of coming for a moment, and even ignoring the fact that the host was right in front of him, Fu Jiaming pointed at the vines that had already climbed out of the courtyard wall and said, "How about we bet on who can see the rose bloom first?"
"Let's bet. I'm not afraid of you. Just tell me what we're betting on!"
"The loser has to promise the winner something, but of course, it doesn't touch the moral bottom line. How do you think?"
"Hahaha, one is not enough, at least three!"
"Let's bet!"
Suning, who was holding Xiaoqiu's hand, watched the fun, until the two of them high-fived three times like children to seal the alliance, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
As he opened the door, he casually reminded them, "You two can fulfill your agreement now."
"ah?"
"What?"
The two people who were swearing at each other were stunned for a moment, and even their expressions of confusion were exactly the same.
"You two took the climbing roses in my yard and made a bet on who would see the flowers bloom first. Didn't you make the bet specifically for me?"
Fu Jiaming touched the back of his head and said: Didn’t the bet I made just now specify that it was between the two of us?
Luo Shuangshuang, who had never lost a bet with her brother since they were young, but this time set a new record for the fastest failure: She could see that this guy was really her nemesis!
"My brain!"
After being stunned for a while, he finally remembered and gave Luo Shuangshuang, who was also stunned, a look that told her to fight again another day. Fu Jiaming followed him into the courtyard.
He stomped his feet, and when he saw someone's big face on the ground, he stomped on it a few times, and finally the depression in his heart was relieved. Luo Shuangshuang raised his head and chest, and was full of energy again.
"Humph, I'm happy to lose to Ning Baogai~"
…
After entering the yard, Fu Jiaming took out the train ticket he had bought from his pocket and handed it to her, "I almost forgot something important. Here, the ticket is bought. Yan Bei and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
"No need to pick up, just meet at the bus station."
"Yanbei has applied for a car, and we will take it directly to Xingcheng."
This is more convenient and time-saving than taking a bus. The most important thing to note is that the smell of a small car is better than that of a regular bus, and it will not cause such severe motion sickness.
Therefore, Suning nodded and agreed, and did not refuse their arrangement.
"By the way, I'll have to bring one more person with me. Can you sit down?"
"who?"
Could it be that Luo Shuangshuang also wants to go to Shanghai to play?
Fu Jiaming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't even notice the inexplicable excitement in his heart: There is still one ticket missing, and I don't know if I can buy it even if I ask someone for help now?
"I have to take Xiao Qiu with me."
"Huh? It's not Luo... Ahem, it's Xiao Qiu. That's fine. A kid this big doesn't take up much space and can sit down. There's no need to pay for a ticket."
It’s good, haha, it’s good.
It's hard to say whether he was disappointed or not. Fu Jiaming shook his head and said, "Then let's leave at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, is that ok?"
"no problem."
"Okay, I have to go back and pack some things for my family, so I'll see you in the morning."
As he was talking, he walked straight towards the gate, coming and going in a hurry.
Luo Shuangshuang gently touched her arm and asked, "Why does this person suddenly seem to have lost his soul? Is he sick?"
"Well, I'm afraid he's really ill."
Su Ning was close enough to miss the word he uttered. Although she had never seen a pig run, she had eaten pork. She felt that Fu Jiaming seemed to have some feelings for the silly girl.
It's just like a bud, and he himself hasn't noticed it yet.
"He has so many problems. His leg hasn't even healed yet. What serious illness has he contracted?"
Luo Shuangshuang spoke harshly, but kept looking at his back, and couldn't help wondering what was wrong with this man.
"It suddenly looks like an eggplant covered with frost. It's really disgusting to look at. Yes, it's an eyesore!"
With a smile on his lips, Suning, who was a bystander, also said that it was better to let things take their course.
If we are destined to meet, we will meet even if we are thousands of miles apart; if we are not destined to meet, we will not meet even if we are face to face.
"Hey, Ning Baogai, I just realized that your dimples are so cute when you smile!"
Luo Shuangshuang, who had discovered a new world, immediately put aside the annoying face in her mind and couldn't help but stretch out a finger to touch the dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Slapping her hand away, Su Ning changed the subject, "Have you made up your mind? I'm leaving tomorrow. If you don't tell me the gift, I'll have to choose it for you. Don't blame me if you don't like it."
"I really don't know at this moment, why don't you choose, Ning Baogai, I believe in your vision~"
After Luo Shuangshuang laughed heartily, she flirted with her playfully and said coquettishly, "I'll like whatever you give me~"
"Hiss, speak properly!"
He rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and angrily pushed away the guy who was trying to stick to him.
The cheerful laughter in the house could be heard from far away, and Xiaoqiu in the yard couldn't help but smile. She held the little circle and looked at the sky, as if she was waiting for the night to come and see her mother who had turned into a star as soon as possible.
…
The next day, when the first clear chirp of a bird was heard, Suning opened his eyes.
She put on her clothes quietly, covered Xiaoqiu who was still sleeping with a thin blanket, and quietly left the room.
Taking advantage of this gap, I entered the space. The vegetables and fruits in the paradise where no one was rescued were ripe earlier than those in the outside world. It was estimated that they could be picked in two or three days.
Livestock such as chickens, ducks and geese have also become fatter and rounder, and should be ready for slaughter in ten days.
After finishing the work as usual and recording the time and the approximate conditions of their growth, Suning took out some things that he would need later.
This time, the train journey is not as far as from Beijing to Southern Hunan, but it still takes three and a half days, almost four days.
Especially since Xiaoqiu is here, she has to prepare more snacks and dry food.
After thinking about it, I rolled up my sleeves and kneaded half a basin of dough to make buns, steamed buns, and flower rolls, and also to fry crispy and fragrant small twisted dough sticks and small biscuits.
She doesn’t know how to make the spicy sauce made by her aunt, but she learned how to make the mushroom sauce and spicy beef jerky made by her grandfather. Both of these are delicious when mixed with rice or steamed buns.
Boil another pot of tea eggs and add the preserved eggs and duck eggs that were pickled in the space last time.
It is difficult to carry food in hot weather. It will go bad in a short time in the train which is as hot as a steamer.
"Oh, and some strange-flavored beans and spiced peanuts."
…
As the day gradually brightened, a constant aroma came from the kitchen, forcibly waking up Xiaoqiu who was still sleeping, "What a nice smell~"
After rubbing his eyes to wake up completely, he quickly put on his clothes and shoes, folded the thin blankets together and placed them at the end of the bed, then ran out of the room.
"Sister Ningning."
"Xiao Qiu, are you awake? Wash your face and brush your teeth before having breakfast. Do you want help?"
"I learned it all yesterday. Qiuqiu can do it by herself!"
Xiaoqiu waved her hand cutely, turned around and went to the washroom, washing her face and brushing her teeth exactly as she had been taught yesterday.
When she finished washing and returned to the kitchen, Suning had already packed everything and reserved some breakfast for the two of them.
"These are vegetarian buns stuffed with mushrooms. Xiaoqiu, blow on them carefully to be careful of the heat."
"Yeah, okay~"
"You're so good. In addition to the steamed buns, you should also drink up this bowl of millet porridge."
Afraid that she would get carsick and vomit, I didn't give her much, just a small bowl of porridge, which was just right with two vegetarian buns.
While Xiaoqiu was eating, Suning turned around and got the suitcase, which contained two sets of clothes, towels and washing supplies.
Just as I finished cleaning, there was a knock on the door. I looked at the time and it was exactly seven o'clock.
