Sankui took the train at midnight, and because the telegram said he had brought a lot of medicinal materials, Pei Yue drove to pick him up.
After receiving the call, they discovered that Sangui had brought two people with him, one was in his forties and the other looked to be in his early twenties. The two looked roughly similar.
The two of them felt a little embarrassed when they saw Pei Yue staring at them.
Sankui introduced Pei Yue. The older one was the third son of Mr. Hu, and the younger one was his grandson.
Mr. Hu wanted Mr. Wang to help collect the medicinal materials. The old man thought about it and agreed again and again, but he made a request, that is, he hoped that Mr. Hu could take one of his grandsons to live in Sijiu City.
Although the mountains are rich in materials, there are big insects, blind bears and other dangerous things in there. Every time you go into the mountains, you risk your life. But if you don't go into the mountains to hunt and dig for medicine, no matter how diligent you are, you can barely make ends meet.
In bad years, you have to go hungry.
Pei Yue knew the identities of the two of them, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Pei Yue, Sangui's cousin-in-law."
The older ones were a little nervous and dared not stretch out their hands, but the younger ones mustered up the courage to shake hands with Pei Yue: "Hello, my name is Wang Shihu, and this is my third uncle Wang Sen."
After saying hello, Pei Yue asked Sankui to put the things in the car.
Wang Sen was a little embarrassed. He knew from his father that Li Sankui's cousin and cousin-in-law were not ordinary people. Now he felt that maybe this brother-in-law had a bigger background than they thought.
In the car, Pei Yue asked: "How is the old man's health?"
Sankui said with a smile: "Grandpa Hu eats delicious food there. He sleeps until almost dawn every day. After arriving there, he and Grandpa Wang go up the mountain to collect medicine!"
Because there were outsiders present, Pei Yue did not ask what medicinal materials were purchased.
Sankui asked: "Brother-in-law, are my parents and sister-in-law okay?"
Pei Yue said while driving: "My aunt is not here, only my uncle is here. I will leave this car to you, and you will take them to visit various places tomorrow."
Sankui originally thought that both his parents would come over and was looking forward to it, but now that only one person came he was a little disappointed.
Pei Yue said: "As long as you feel at ease and do good things, you will have no problem picking them up to live in Sijiu City in the future."
Father-in-law and mother-in-law also knew that Tian Shao had made a lot of money before agreeing to come to Sijiucheng. If Tian Shao had the same monthly salary of twenty or thirty as others, they would refuse even if they wanted to come to Dashilan. Parents have the same mentality.
None of them want to burden their children. Of course, those who are not worthy of being parents are another matter.
Hearing this, Sankui whispered: "My cousin said it will take some time before she can assign work to me."
Pei Yue is much better informed than others in this position, but he will not reveal undecided matters: "Don't worry, my uncle and aunt are still young, there is no problem in waiting two or three years."
This was the same as what Tian Shao said before. Sankui could only hold back his impatience.
When getting out of the car, Pei Yue told Sangui and others: "Uncle, aunt, and others are all asleep. Be gentle when you go in later and don't wake them up."
The four of them went in quietly, but Uncle Li didn't fall asleep because he was thinking about San Kui. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he put on some clothes and came out.
When Sankui saw him, he hurried forward and said, "Dad, why did you get up?"
Uncle Li looked at Sankui from top to bottom. He had turned darker, but he looked stronger. If his aunt were here, he would definitely shed tears, but Uncle Li was very satisfied. He felt that the man was young.
It's a good thing to endure hardship at times: "It's good that I haven't been lazy during this period."
Sankui has no time to spare in the mountains. He either follows the Wang family to collect medicinal materials or goes hunting with them in the mountains. Occasionally, he also accompanies the two old men and the Wang family's female family members into the mountains to dig for medicinal materials and pick mountain products. However, although this day is tiring, it is inexplicable.
Feel relaxed.
Pei Yue said softly: "Sankui, you didn't send a telegram in advance to tell us that you would bring someone here. Let Uncle Wang and the others sleep in the same room with you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li immediately said: "Sankui, let their uncle and nephew sleep in your room, and you sleep with me."
Although the bed here is quite big, it is not good for three grown men to sleep together.
Sankui had no objection.
The next morning, Li Guihua got up and went into the kitchen. She saw Sanya scooping out rice and cooking porridge. She said, "It's too little. Add another bowl of rice."
Seeing Sanya looking at her, she said: "Sankui came back last night, and he brought two people with him."
The couple were so excited last night that they couldn't sleep. They knew it as soon as Sangui came back. They were just afraid of waking up the younger ones, so they didn't get up.
When everyone got up, they found that Sanya had already laid out breakfast.
The breakfast is very rich, including white rice porridge, Goubuli steamed buns, fried dough sticks and golden egg pancakes, as well as a plate of boiled eggs.
Li Guihua was just about to say that it was a waste of money, but as she spoke, she suddenly remembered what Tian Dalin had told her before. She immediately changed her words and called everyone: "Come and eat quickly. After we finish, we will go to Dashilar."
Uncle Li ate a steamed bun, and after finishing it he exclaimed: "Sanya, who made this steamed bun? Why is it so delicious?"
Sanya smiled and said: "These are Goubuli steamed buns from Jin City. They are sold at the state-owned restaurant on Qianmen Street. My brother-in-law drove there early in the morning and bought them back."
Tian Shao likes Goubuli steamed buns from this restaurant very much, so Pei Yue often goes there to buy them. Today, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, so naturally they have to treat them with the highest standards.
Not only the steamed buns, but also the deep-fried dough sticks and egg pancakes were delicious, so there was not a single bit left over from breakfast. After eating and drinking, everyone happily prepared to set off for Dashilan.
Sankui took them to take the bus. While waiting for the bus, he said with a smile: "Dashilan is not far from here. I got up too late today, otherwise I would have taken you to walk there."
Pei Yue originally wanted to leave the car to them, but Tian Dalin and his wife refused. Firstly, they did not want to affect Pei Yue; secondly, there were so many people that could not fit in one car, and it would be troublesome to set off in two groups and not be able to meet up when the time came.
Uncle Li's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "How far is it from Dashilan?"
Sankui said with a smile: "It's a three-mile road. If you take a shortcut, you can get there in less than twenty minutes."
Tian Dalin and Li Guihua looked at each other. It was so close to Dashilar. This house was probably more expensive than they expected.
Uncle Li said excitedly: "Since we are so close, let's get up early tomorrow and go to Dashilar to watch the national flag being raised."
If you can see the national flag rising in front of the big fence, your life will not be in vain.
Sankui shook his head and said: "There will be no flag-raising ceremony tomorrow. There will only be one on Monday. I will take you there on Monday morning."
As soon as this was said, everyone unanimously agreed.
When they arrived at Dashilar, Si Ya said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, this place is exactly the same as on TV."
Sankui immediately laughed when he heard this: "The portraits on TV were taken here, so they are exactly the same. Come, let's find a good location and let Sanya take pictures of you."
Tian Shao not only bought film in advance for their arrival, but also specially asked someone to teach Sanya how to take pictures. It can be said that the arrangements were very thorough.
