Chapter 300 Let’s go out and play
The Xia family in Beijing was busy making arrangements. As for Xia Zhizhi, she would not worry about something that had not happened yet. She would just do what had to be done. Things would work out when the time came. She continued to act as if nothing had happened.
The autumn harvest in the village has come to an end. Everyone has been in high spirits these days. Even someone as lazy as Xia Zhizhi feels good when she sees the piles of food on the drying field.
After all, these are the joys of autumn harvest.
It's like working hard for a year, spending all your own money and effort on projects for your boss. At the end of the year, the boss has a conscience and does not run away with the money. Instead, he prepares some year-end bonuses for them. Who wouldn't be happy?
This year Tang Mingli has more money and no longer needs to dig a reservoir. Jiang Xiurong and Cui Zijin are both very happy.
The food needs to be dried for a few days before it can be delivered. The temperature has not dropped in the past few days, the weather is relatively comfortable, and it is a cool and crisp autumn.
Han Youran suggested: "Why don't we go to Harbin for a few days while the weather is nice and we have some free time? I've never been to Harbin before!"
Haven't been there in two lifetimes.
Jiang Xiurong nodded in agreement.
The two of them were going, and Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli would naturally accompany them. Yang Yingxu was also quite curious. He had been doing nothing but work this year. Even though others slacked off at work, the housework in the kitchen after work was quite exhausting.
Although Xia Zhizhi was not very curious about Harbin, after all, she had wandered around there a lot, but since everyone was going, she naturally went along.
Everyone is very motivated. The weather is cool now, so there is no need to bring any change of clothes. Just carry a bag with you. If you don’t have enough time to stay overnight, you can put some small clothes in it. A cross-body bag is enough for each person.
Everyone packed up quickly, and Han Youran even specifically reminded her, "Zhizhi, don't forget to bring your camera."
Seeing Xia Zhi stuffing the camera and film into the camera, Han Youran said with some regret: "I wonder if we can find someone to take a group photo for us when the time comes."
The cameras nowadays are different from the mobile phones of the future. Most people don’t know how to use them. If you ask others to take pictures for you even though they don’t know how to use them, they will simply refuse. After all, they are valuable items, and you don’t want to argue if you damage them.
Xia Zhizhi said nonchalantly, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll call another friend from the city later, and he will take the photo."
After arriving in the city, Xia Zhizhi said to everyone outside the hotel: "Have some breakfast and wait for me. I will go to his house to call him."
We all bought some buns and had some soy milk for breakfast.
Xia Zhizhi found an empty corner, took Ah Ju out, and asked Ah Ju to carry a larger bag with some food and drinks in it. They had come out in a hurry and thought they would eat and drink on the way, so they didn't bring too much stuff.
The food on the train and the taste were just edible to them.
Xia Zhizhi was not willing to put herself in a difficult position.
She handed the camera to Ah Ju and asked Ah Ju to hold it, while she carried an empty bag as an accessory.
After they went over, everyone had finished eating, and Han Youran prepared to buy her some buns for breakfast.
Xia Zhizhi refused her. The buns here tasted just average. "No need, Sister Youran. I've eaten at Xia Zhi's."
She pointed at Ah Ju and introduced him to everyone, "This is my friend Xia Zhi. He's quite good at taking photos. I'm sure there won't be any problems if we hand it over to him."
As soon as Ah Ju appeared, everyone's eyes lit up.
This is what a modeling face is.
With sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, and neat clothes, he would always stand out in the crowd.
Not only does she have a pretty face, but she also has a good figure. Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
After all, who doesn't like beautiful things?
Yang Yingxu felt that he was outdone in appearance.
Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli didn't care about their appearance as much as he did.
Yang Yingxu approached Ah Ju and asked quietly, "Comrade, you and Comrade Xia both have the surname Xia, are you relatives?"
Anyone who saw it could tell that Xia Zhizhi and Xia Zhi were very close.
Find out clearly first. If he really has that kind of relationship with Xia Zhizhi, you must be careful not to offend him. After all, pillow talk can be very powerful!
Ah Ju nodded.
When he used the Xiazhi skin, Xia Zhizhi introduced him to others as her brother most of the time.
Yang Yingxu didn't believe it completely. After all, if they were distant relatives, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
It was getting late, so everyone didn't argue much and went to the train station to buy tickets. There were so many people around, and Xia Zhizhi was afraid that it would affect her innocent and lovely image, so she couldn't use her fake ID to buy a sleeper berth, so everyone bought hard seats.
Fortunately, this is the departure station, the train will not be delayed, there is no need to wait for the train, and the sanitary attendants in the carriage have also cleaned up the place roughly.
After going up, Ah Ju skillfully turned on the hot towel and wiped the seat where Xia Zhizhi was going to sit, and also wiped the small table.
Then he took out two lunch boxes from his backpack. When he opened them, he saw washed grapes and a box of persimmon cakes. Then he took out two oil paper bags filled with melon seeds and peanuts.
Yang Yingxu looked at Ah Ju in surprise, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously. Good guy, you are stealing my job!
They were sitting in a six-seater, Jiang Xiurong, Han Youran and Xia Zhizhi sat in one row, Tang Mingli, Cui Zijin and Yang Yingxu sat opposite them, and Ah Ju sat next to the four-seater with interest.
The journey was long, taking several hours, so Xia Zhizhi took out poker from her bag and asked them to play poker to kill time.
She was not interested in gambling that did not involve money, and she lazily lay on Han Youran's back, stretching her mental power into the space to find something to do and pass the time.
Ah Ju was studying the camera nearby and would occasionally take a photo of them.
When there are many people together, everyone can get along well and time is easy to pass. Soon it is time for lunch. Some people in the carriage take out the dry food they brought with them, while others who have more money will spend some money to buy meals in the dining car.
After all, you don’t need a ticket to buy meat on the train now, so it feels like a good deal.
Xia Zhizhi was not enthusiastic about the train meal: "Xia Zhi brought food, let's have a bite."
After hearing this, Ah Ju took out a few bread rolls and two lunch boxes from his bag and placed them on the table.
Then he used a knife to cut the bread in the middle and opened the two lunch boxes. One contained sliced halved beef and the other contained fried eggs.
Ah Ju sandwiched two thick pieces of beef and an egg in the bread, and spread the chicken mushroom sauce that Ah Ju made herself on it. She was afraid that it would get on Xia Zhizhi's hands, so she wrapped it in a small white handkerchief and handed it to Xia Zhizhi.
Homemade weird burgers.
After helping Xia Zhizhi, Aju no longer cared about the others.
When it comes to serving Xia Zhizhi, Ah Ju went even further than Yang Yingxu.
When everyone is around, Yang Yingxu will just be perfunctory in order to save face.
Ah Ju was different. If Xia Zhizhi didn't give any special instructions, he would just pretend that everyone didn't exist and wouldn't even bother to be polite.
