Chapter 502 Airplane

After the factory holiday, the two of them found time to go to the Zhizhi Church gathering point to recruit a new wave of believers.

Ah Ju transformed into Emily Helen and verbally commended the top leaders of this evil cult.

The organization's structure is very solid, and its staff is growing at a steady pace. The monthly initiation ceremony is not too frequent for believers, but it is a bit too frequent for Xia Zhizhi.

It would be fine if she was in Hong Kong, but if she went out to hang out one day, it would be very troublesome to bring her back.

So, through Ah Ju, they said that the initiation ceremony should be changed to once a quarter.

The Governor wanted to ask why, but Keith Cardiwenxu continued to play the role of the top charlatan: "It's good this way. Let the potential believers settle down for a while, so that there won't be 20 or 30 people disturbing the gods every time."

The governor thought so too. As he was in a high position, he could fully understand why some people always bothered him over trivial matters.

Twenty or thirty people offered what they thought were treasures to join the church. This amount of wealth and number of people would be a lot for ordinary people, but it would definitely not be enough for gods.

After fooling the cult organization, the only ones left are these few people at home.

Xia Zhizhi gave them New Year red envelopes in advance and told them that she and Aju were going abroad to celebrate the New Year.

This period of time is considered as their New Year holiday. If they are willing to stay here for the New Year, they can stay here. If they want to go somewhere else or want to go out for fun, they can make their own arrangements and just come back to work after the New Year.

Everything that needed to be arranged was done. After dinner, Xia Zhizhi refused the driver and let Ah Ju drive her own car to the beach.

When she arrived at the beach, it was already dark. She avoided people, took out the cruise ship from the space, then packed up the car and jumped onto the cruise ship.

The patrols along the coast were as strict as usual, but for Xia Zhizhi, who was well prepared, it was not a big problem.

The two of them still got ashore from the mangroves in Shekou. Without anyone else, Ah Ju could do whatever he wanted, and Xia Zhizhi arrived at the village without even getting her shoes wet.

The village where we landed was close to the sea, and nine out of ten houses were already empty.

Xia Zhizhi found an empty room and exchanged clothes with Ah Ju.

Look at Aju's dark coat, and then look at your own tweed coat.

Xia Zhizhi pouted and complained while wiping the lipstick off her lips.

"We are like Mary, a stylish and sophisticated urban beauty who works away from home. After returning home for the Chinese New Year, she puts on a floral cotton jacket and becomes Cuiying."

Ah Ju comforted her while braiding her wavy hair into two pigtails.

"You are naturally beautiful, and you look good in any outfit. Just change your style to a forest style."

After changing clothes, Ah Ju carried Xia Zhizhi all the way to the city. After entering the city, they went straight to the train station and took a train to the Yangcheng airport.

Xia Zhizhi had had enough of taking the train, and it was already the 25th day of the lunar calendar. She would not be able to catch the reunion dinner by train, so she decided to fly back directly.

The two successfully bought tickets and boarded the plane.

The seat is quite close to the cabin door, and the riding experience is not very comfortable.

Well, let's not talk about the turbulence for now. The cabin door was leaking air, and the temperature dropped as we went north. The wind was blowing inside like a knife.

Later, only the flight attendants could stand in front of the cabin door wearing thick socks to block the gap.

Fortunately, it only takes a few hours.

After getting off the plane, Xia Zhizhi and Aju both changed into thick cotton jackets, hats and scarves.

Ah Ju carried a lot of bags and she and Xia Zhizhi squeezed onto the bus back to Gongzhan Hutong.

It was already past seven when we got home.

The door was not bolted and the light was on at the door.

Xia Zhizhi opened the door and entered the yard. The lights were on in the main hall.

Before Xia Zhizhi could call out.

The door of the main hall was opened, and Zeng Zelan walked out quickly, saying as she walked: "Oh, my dear baby, you're finally back!"

As she was talking, Zeng Zelan had already walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and led her into the house, complaining all the time.

"My child, why did you come home only at this time? You didn't tell me when you would be back, and you didn't write to me every now and then. I was worried that you didn't eat well or sleep well outside..."

Xia Zhizhi took off her thick coat, changed into slippers, and then hugged Zeng Zelan, ready to get away with it: "I just didn't eat well, grandma, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry!"

Zeng Zelan really stopped nagging her: "You must be tired after sitting in the car for several days. I knew you wouldn't eat well in the car. There are dishes in the pot. Grandma thought you might come back someday, so she kept preparing them. Come on, sit down, and the chef will bring it up for you in a while."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the chef came out of the kitchen carrying a tray.

Soon, Xia Zhizhi drank the fragrant mutton and radish soup.

Zeng Zelan picked up a mutton dumpling with chopsticks, dipped it in Xia Zhizhi's favorite chili vinegar, and stuffed the dumpling into Xia Zhizhi's mouth.

Xia Bangguo was standing by, holding a newspaper and watching with a frown on his face.

After the second month, seeing that Xia Zhizhi had not returned home yet, Zeng Zelan became anxious. She stared at the gate after dinner every day.

Anyone who has a family knows that if one person in the family is in a bad mood, it is difficult for others to feel good.

Xia Bangguo was not in a hurry at first. After all, it was normal for his children to come back early or late. Sometimes his grandchildren did not come home until New Year's Eve.

But Zeng Zelan kept nagging in his ear, which made him anxious.

After waiting so long for his precious grandson to come home, Old Man Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to listen to Zeng Zelan nagging him all day long.

Xia Zhizhi quickly ate and drank her fill, then opened her package as usual and took out the gift she had "meticulously" prepared.

Zeng Zelan was so happy that she couldn't stop grinning. She turned around and saw her old man still holding a newspaper and pretending to be serious. She couldn't help but say, "You can only recognize a few words, but you hold it in your hand and pretend to be serious all day long. It's okay when you are outside, at least it makes you look educated. But when you are at home, you still do this. You can't finish reading that newspaper from morning to night, right?"

"There are children here, and you say something like that?" Xia Bangguo muttered a few words in dissatisfaction and put down the newspaper awkwardly.

Xia Zhizhi got home late today, and I thought it would be time for her to go to bed after dinner, washing up, and tidying up.

So Zeng Zelan didn't let Yu'er come over from the alley, otherwise it would disturb the child's rest. Anyway, everyone has returned, and it will be the same if they see each other tomorrow.

Sure enough, after Xia Zhizhi distributed the gifts, she started yawning.

She wasn't pretending today, she was really sleepy.

Not only had she been rushing from yesterday till now, she didn't even take a nap on the plane.

She said that the plane was shaking like a tractor and the wind was blowing inside. How could one fall asleep in such an environment?

Seeing her yawn, Zeng Zelan urged her to go to bed: "My dear, wash your face and feet, then go to bed. When you wake up tomorrow, tell grandma where you went to play this year. The room is warm, and the quilts are all new."
