Chapter 530 We Are Back
Chen Kexin walked in first and found that there was a kang in the room, but it was different from the kangs in Northeast China.
In the middle of the ground is a fire pit covering a large area, which is actually an earthen stove with a flue leading to the kang.
She was overjoyed and said politely, "Village Chief, can you sell us some firewood? We want to boil some hot water to drink."
The village chief said in a stern voice, "What are you buying? There is a pile of firewood in the yard, you can use whatever you want."
Chen Kexin continued to ask tentatively: "Village Chief, how much is it for us to stay here for one night?"
"No money, the house is empty anyway."
The old lady obviously wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth but said nothing. She sighed heavily, looked dim in her eyes, and led her granddaughter back to the east room.
The room was dark, and the village chief quickly took a kerosene lamp and two clean-looking old quilts, and walked over and said, "Drink some water and go to bed early, don't light the lamp and work late."
Chen Kexin could tell that the old man lived frugally, so she nodded and said, "Okay, old man!"
After everyone left, Wang Jiwen asked nervously in a low voice: "Ke Xin, are there any problems with them?"
Chen Kexin knew that her uncle was just imagining things, so she smiled and whispered, "Uncle, there's nothing wrong with them. The old couple are good people, they have a bottom line, and their upbringing is very good."
"How did you know that?"
"Uncle, do you remember how the little girl reacted when I gave her two candies? She looked at grandma, took the candies only after getting permission, and said thank you."
The old man also said he didn't want any money, and the old woman obviously wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.
Wang Jiwen suddenly realized that his niece was very thoughtful and could see through the phenomena to the essence of people.
"But how can we sleep on the kang at night?"
"Let the driver stay on the side, my uncle stays next to the driver, and I'll stay here. There are no such things to be particular about when you're out, but someone must stay in the car. The two bodyguards can only take turns to rest in the car."
"OK!"
Chen Kexin walked into the yard, picked up some firewood from the pile, skillfully lit the fire pit, put the pot on it, washed it, and added clean water.
I quickly remembered something, took out about half a pound of millet from my bag, washed it, and put it in the pot to cook porridge.
Wang Jiwen asked in surprise: "Kexin, did you bring Xiaomi with you?"
Chen Kexin nodded and said, "I didn't bring much with me, I didn't expect to be able to use it."
"With hot porridge to drink and the dry food sold, we won't go hungry at night." Wang Jiwen said with relief, and went out to call the two bodyguards and the driver to come back for dinner.
After they finished their meal, Wang Jiwen arranged the work and handed a quilt to the two bodyguards.
The temperature is okay during the day, but a bit cold at night. I only dare to sleep in the cab because there is a bed and quilt.
The driver quickly rolled up a quilt and lay down on the kang to prepare for sleep.
Wang Jiwen and Chen Kexin also lay down. Perhaps because the fire had been burning for a long time, the room and the kang became warm. They covered themselves with their windbreakers and blew out the kerosene lamp.
Chen Kexin woke up at daybreak.
I walked out and looked around. The village was very quiet.
One of the bodyguards was sleeping in the cab while the other was wandering around the car.
Not to mention, the air in the village is very fresh.
She lit the fire, cooked porridge with the remaining millet, and called people in.
Everyone gathered together to drink the delicious hot porridge and prepared to set off.
Chen Kexin was the last one to leave the house, leaving behind half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy, ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of flour, a bag of apples, and twenty yuan.
Seeing the village chief coming out, she smiled and whispered, "Uncle, I left something on the kang."
The old man's eyes suddenly became moist, "Child, please come visit us next time you pass by."
"Yes, sir!"
After the truck drove away, the old man walked into the west room and saw so many things on the kang. He said gratefully, "Good man!"
In the truck, Wang Jiwen asked curiously, "What did you give the landlord?"
"I gave you twenty yuan."
Her bag wasn't big, so of course she didn't dare tell the truth.
"Okay, his family seems to be in a difficult situation."
"Um!"
Maybe the bad luck has passed and the road ahead will be smooth.
Worried that the driver was too tired, Chen Kexin took the initiative to drive for several hours.
By the time they returned to Shanghai, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Wang Jiwen asked someone to help him move the raw materials into the warehouse.
Chen Kexin thought of the big piece of raw material and quickly made a decision, saying, "Uncle, I'm tired. I'll just rest here. We'll go find grandpa tomorrow."
"OK!"
The next morning, Chen Kexin woke up and saw that no one came to the warehouse. She quickly put the piece of bear's wool into the warehouse, locked the door, and went back calmly.
During breakfast, Chen Kexin said seriously, "Uncle, a friend came to drive back to Longcheng this morning, and I asked him to take the piece of raw material that looked like a blind bear back with him. I think it would be nice to put it next to the rockery in the courtyard."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"My uncle has worked so hard. He finally got a chance to sleep in. How could I bear to do that? Oh, don't untie that big piece of fat pig hair. Put it in the yard of the villa in Shenzhen later."
"Okay, I'll find someone to cut the stone today, and I'll estimate the price and transfer the money to you."
"Don't do that! All the money that makes sense should be invested in Shenzhen. My uncle bought me a piece of land. I want to build some commercial services in the future."
"It depends on how much money you can make. I'll give you a few shops on this commercial street."
"good!"
Chen Kexin's eyebrows immediately lit up. In the future, she would not only have a villa in Shenzhen, but also a shop. It would feel great to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.
Wang Jiwen reached out and patted her head out of habit and said, "Look how happy you are. You're laughing like a fool..."
here we go again!
Will my uncle’s head-patting spree ever end?
Chen Kexin thought about having to hold on to her uncle's thick legs in the future, and secretly warned herself not to get angry.
He rolled his eyes at the other person resentfully and said, "Go find my grandfather?"
"good!"
Wang Jiwen held back his smile, asked his men to buy a banner, and asked the driver to hand it over to the police station in that small town. He also gave a lot of gifts. After the matter was done, the two went to find Chen Jianguo.
"Grandpa, we're back!"
The old man looked fine, and said unhappily, "Why are you gone for so many days?"
Chen Kexin acted like a spoiled brat and said, "Grandpa, we bought a lot of raw materials and borrowed a truck to bring them back, so we are a little later than planned."
"Did the journey go smoothly?"
Wang Jiwen secretly regretted that he forgot to give Ke Xin a few words of advice. The old man is old, so it would be better not to let him know about the bad things that happened on the road.
Chen Kexin didn't even look at her uncle, and said calmly, "What could possibly happen? Besides, my uncle brought two bodyguards with him."
After saying this, she went to see her uncle.
Her uncle's tense face quickly relaxed, and she saw it all.
The old man continued with a serious expression, "Grandpa has brought your aunt's spirit up and brought it with him. It's right there. Ke Xin, go light some incense."
Chen Kexin looked over and found an urn on the table. In front of it was a small iron box with a lot of incense ashes inside. There were also unlit incense sticks next to it.
Her tears almost fell. No wonder grandpa's face was so solemn?
He walked over, lit three incense sticks respectfully, and silently said in his heart: "Aunt, although I have never met you, I admire you very much. In a few days, you will be reunited with my uncle. My descendants and I are proud of you..."
