Because she wanted to buy a large quantity of mountain products, and said that it was not a one-time transaction and she would come back to buy in the future, even the village chief was alarmed.
The thin old man wanted to shake her hand, but seeing that she was a girl, he instead grasped Jiang Yanxu's arm and assured him firmly, "Don't worry, the mountain products in our village are top-notch, and we will never cheat you."
As he said this, he quickly called on the villagers to take out the best goods that each family had hidden in their boxes.
Considering that it would be difficult to transport, He Ruixue restrained herself and picked a little from each house. She bought things worth 200 yuan, among which the meat was more expensive and heavier.
Medicinal herbs are sold at very low prices, while mushrooms and other mountain products are free and delivered in packages.
He Ruixue saw that the oxcart prepared for her by the village was almost completely filled with no space for people to sit, so she quickly waved her hand and refused, "Enough, enough, Village Chief, you are too enthusiastic. We have to make a car later, and there is no room. I can just take these bags."
After pushing and shoving, there were still several large bags left, and each of them had to carry at least four.
Jiang Yanxu took charge of all the heavy objects.
He Ruixue walked behind him and couldn't help but feel fortunate that before they went down the mountain, they considered that they would stay there often in the future, so they left all the pots, pans, and bedding at the gym and only brought back light luggage, otherwise they would be very tired.
With the villagers' farewell, they took a ox cart to the nearby county town.
There are limited bus services, with only one round trip. If you miss the bus, you'll have to wait. You can't buy bus tickets in advance, so whether you can get on depends on luck.
They were unlucky and missed the afternoon train, so they had to wait until tomorrow.
Just when He Ruixue was planning to find a guesthouse to rest for the night, she happened to meet a large truck on the side of the road. When she asked, she found out that it was also going to the city.
"That's unfortunate, brother. I work at the city department store. Could you give us a ride?"
"Okay, you can get on, but there's no room in the front, so you two can only sit in the back car. Don't mind."
The driver was very enthusiastic. Not only did he agree readily, he also asked his apprentice in the passenger seat to help move the luggage up.
He Ruixue waved her hands quickly, "What's there to be disgusted with? Thank you, brother. We missed the bus. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we could get back."
While they were moving things, the driver left the car door half open and took the time to light a cigarette.
Seeing that they had quite a lot of packages, he asked, "You two have quite a lot of stuff. Where did you get it from?"
He Ruixue certainly couldn't say she bought them. "We went to visit relatives in the countryside, and these were all given to us by our families."
"Then your parents really love you. I'm afraid they'll move their home here for you."
After a brief exchange of words, seeing that He Ruixue was indeed able to explain the store's affairs in detail, he became even more convinced of her identity.
He rubbed his head, thinking, "Your last name is He, and you work at a department store... Wait a minute, were you the little hero at the exchange meeting?
I heard my brother mention you. He said your eyes are bigger than others and you are very beautiful. You can recognize you immediately."
Calling him a little hero is so embarrassing.
He Ruixue smiled and said, "I did contribute something at the exchange meeting, but I can't be called a hero."
"Hey! You can handle it. My eldest brother is from the security department and was standing near the platform at the time. If you hadn't discovered it in advance, he would have been stabbed to death or disabled.
He was really scared. He had a fever for several days after he came back and dreamed of a room full of bombs.
I was out driving my car and was so busy at home that I forgot to come and thank you. I happened to meet you today, and I'll treat you to a meal when we get to the city."
"No, I haven't been home for a few days, and my family is worried."
"Oh, I didn't realize it, you must be tired from running around outside these days.
So, let's make an appointment some other day. My name is Liu Erchang, and I'm a driver for the steel plant's transport team. Come and see me when you have time."
"That's really not necessary, Brother Liu. I accept your gratitude, but I won't bother with the meal."
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I'll remember your kindness. If you need help traveling or need help bringing something, just tell me. If there's anything I can do for you, I'll definitely help you!"
"Okay, it's fate that we met. I won't be polite to you."
"That's how it should be. We're both straightforward people, so let's just be friends."
Liu Erchang walked her all the way to the entrance of the alley before leaving, and Jiang Yanxu helped her move her things into the house.
The two puppies remembered her scent, and they came forward with barking and strode around her feet.
After not seeing them for a few days, they seemed to have grown a lot bigger and their claws had become much thicker.
He Ruixue squatted down and touched each of them, then scratched their chins. Jiang Yanxu watched with interest, "You have a dog?"
"Yes, this one is called Chenchen, and this one is called Wolf Brother, they both have wolf blood.
When I was raising them, I was thinking that when they grew up a little, I would bring them to your place so that they would have a place to run around and who knows, maybe they could even help with hunting in the future."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yanxu flipped open the dog's belly to check the condition of its limbs, then opened its mouth to look at its teeth. "It's indeed a ferocious dog. When it grows up, its bite force will be no less than that of a wolf.
This kind of hound needs training from a young age, which will begin in a few days. Send it to me every now and then to cultivate its wild nature first."
How did she hear the sound of an abacus?
"If you want to steal the dog from me, just tell me."
"I want to steal more than just the dogs. If they're here, won't you come here more often?"
What a direct hit! He Ruixue was touched. "Even if it weren't for them, I would still come to see you often. After all, I can't bear not seeing you for several days."
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the side of his face, and then separated in an instant.
