After lunch, Chen Xingling quietly entered the hyperspace, picked up a bag of rock sugar and crispy candies, and then hurried to the crowded place to find Ma Damei.
She didn't stay long and soon said goodbye to the Xi family and packed up her things.
Little Tiger couldn't wait to go out and kept urging her to hurry up.
Chen Xingling only helped him pack two sets of clothes, plus a bag of instant noodles that she had modified herself, and then took him downstairs.
"Grandma is going back to her hometown tomorrow morning, and my uncle has to work overtime tomorrow, so only my aunt and I can take her to the station. You and your uncle will go to the fishing village first, and mom will pick you up tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay!" Xiaohuzi agreed.
With the experience of staying overnight for more than ten days before, the little guy has been able to cope with this arrangement with ease.
Li Ying followed behind them and explained with a smile that she was going downstairs to say hello to Chen Xingling's brother.
Chen Xingling saw her eyes fall on the bag in his hand, and secretly found it funny, so he handed the big bag to her.
"Mom, these are Xiaohu's clothes and some flour. Please help."
Li Ying took it in a hurry. She thought the bag was so big and secretly guessed that her daughter-in-law must have hidden a lot of things and wanted to take them secretly to her parents' home. She planned to take a look with her father - but she found it so light when she took it in her hand!
Chen Xingling smiled secretly.
Forty slices of instant noodles weigh only a few pounds at most. I planned to give eight pieces each to my four brothers and eight pieces to my parents.
What did the mother-in-law think it could be? She looked so nervous! Haha!
Li Ying found that there were not many things, and heaved a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Huzi, remember to eat well when you go to your grandma's house. Don't be shy and don't go hungry."
Little Tiger turned his head to look at her and answered crisply, "I'm not afraid of strangers. I like going to grandma's house very much. Grandma, the beach is so fun! My cousins are waiting for me to play with them!"
Chen Xingling deliberately explained as he walked down the stairs.
"My mother's family is close by, so we used to stay there for a day or two every weekend. There was food and drink, fish and meat, and we didn't even have a stove at home. We lived by the sea, so there was no shortage of food. Every time we came, we had to bring a lot of shells, kelp, seaweed, fish, shrimps and crabs to eat. Occasionally, we could eat for two or three days without going out to play."
Li Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this and he burst into laughter.
"It's good to be close to my parents' home! You will definitely be happy if you can visit my parents-in-law every now and then. They will definitely be happy too if their daughter can spend time with them from time to time."
"I am very happy." Chen Xingling looked at her smiling face and said indifferently: "Even you are happy for us."
Li Ying couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words and echoed: "Yes, yes!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, the three saw Chen Bingxing driving a tractor and turning in from the north gate, rushing towards them quickly.
"Third uncle! Third uncle!" Little Tiger jumped for joy.
Chen Bingxing stepped on the brakes, jumped down, picked up the little tiger who was coming towards him, threw him into the air a few times, kissed his nephew's chubby head, turned around and carried him to the driver's seat.
Chen Xingling walked down the stairs and took the initiative to introduce Li Ying who was standing next to him to his third brother.
Although Chen Bingxing had no good feelings towards his sister's evil mother-in-law, for Gu Qi's sake, he did not fail to show all courtesy, greeted her warmly, and invited her to stay in Huiqiao Fishing Village for a few days.
Li Ying looked left and right at the tractor, smiling happily.
"His third uncle, is this yours? Can it run a long way?"
Chen Bingxing nodded: "My family pooled money to buy this. As long as I have oil, I can run to your capital city without any problem."
Li Ying climbed onto the driver's seat and stroked her hips excitedly.
"It looks really solid! It feels solid, too! This is really good stuff!"
Chen Xingling explained the reason to her third brother and said that she would take a boat to pick up Xiaohuzi tomorrow afternoon.
"Is that so?" Chen Bingxing said politely: "My dear, are you going back to your hometown so soon? Please stay a little longer!"
Then he fished out two heavy bags from the back of the tractor.
"Little sister, these seafood were originally intended to be sent to the mountains by our father to be exchanged for tea leaves, but I had to stay away this morning, so I didn't go into the mountains. My in-laws have come all the way here, and we don't have anything good to give them, so let them take these away for her to eat. I'll take two more bags into the mountains tomorrow."
Chen Xingling knew that his brother was trying to save face for him, and he felt warm in his heart.
Li Ying accepted it with a big smile, and repeatedly emphasized that there were few seafood products in the capital, and she liked the seafood products sent from here the most. She must go to the seaside to see them in person next time, as she had never seen the sea with her own eyes.
Chen Bingxing nodded and said, "Little sister, what time is the train tomorrow?"
"A little after ten o'clock." Chen Xingling replied.
Chen Bingxing said straightforwardly: "I will still deliver the fish to the city tomorrow. I will be free after eight o'clock. I will then clean the tractor and come back to pick you and your in-laws up at the train station."
"No, that would be too troublesome." Chen Xingling said.
Li Ying rolled her eyes.
Chen Bingxing insisted: "Why should we be polite to each other? The station is far away, so you don't have to call a taxi. I won't be busy after delivering the goods. My in-laws are always out and about, and I have a lot of strength, so I can help unpack them."
"Oh! Thank you so much!" Li Ying was extremely happy and kept thanking him: "His third uncle is really thoughtful! I'll leave it to you tomorrow!"
Chen Bingxing stopped, started the tractor and took Xiaohuzi away.
Li Ying was grinning from ear to ear as she twisted the seafood that she could barely twist.
…
The next morning, Gu Yi said goodbye to Li Ying and told her to be careful on the road, and to call the factory to report safety as soon as she arrived in Shangjing City.
"I know, I know." Li Ying reminded again: "Make money well and don't be lazy."
Gu Yi agreed and went to work in a hurry.
Chen Xingling took out a few salt-baked chicken legs from the hyperspace and wrapped them in fresh banana leaves.
"Mom, here are a dozen steamed buns and chicken legs for you to eat on the way."
Li Ying smiled with satisfaction and put it away.
Chen Xingling explained: "Xiao Xing made the steamed buns especially for you. In order to make them fresher, she got up at around 3:00 in the morning to work."
Li Ying said "Oh" calmly, "I don't like steamed buns very much, but I have to eat something to fill my stomach on the road. It's better than nothing."
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes secretly, knowing that she had been putting on airs in front of Zhao Xiaoxing recently.
"Mom, if you don't like it, then don't bring the buns."
Li Ying said in an awkward voice: "It's not that I don't like it, just take it with you."
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled secretly and asked in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, can my sister-in-law and I take you to the station together?"
Li Ying replied with a sullen face: "Xiao, you follow Xiao. Remember, you must work harder in the future and you are not allowed to stay in the house all day eating and drinking. Also, find a job in the factory quickly to earn money and don't hold A Yi back!"
"I...I understand." Zhao Xiaoxing nodded: "I will definitely work hard."
Li Ying acted like a mother-in-law before she was satisfied and ready to leave.
After delivering the fish and shrimps, Chen Bingxing borrowed a few buckets of water at the entrance of the non-staple food market, washed the tractor clean, and used soapy water to wash off the fishy smell before driving the tractor and waiting at the north gate of the shipyard.
Li Ying laughed and said she wanted to sit in the front.
Chen Bingxing quickly answered yes, pointing to a snakeskin bag beside him and explaining, "My dear, this is what my parents asked me to bring to you - a few packets of tea, plus a few packets of dried fish and shrimp."
"Oh my!" Li Ying laughed and shook her head: "You're so polite! It's too much, too much. I'm embarrassed to take it!"
Chen Bingxing smiled cheerfully: "Take it, don't be shy. My parents also told me to tell you - take care of yourself, and come to our Yucheng often when you have time!"
“Hey, hey, hey!” Li Ying was delighted: “Okay, okay!”
Chen Xingling and Zhao Xiaoxing looked at each other, both with indescribable expressions on their faces.
