It was the first time for the two of them to drive to the countryside, so they were very excited and had endless things to talk about along the way.
"Nono, did you hear that the big star Yi Rongjun was imprisoned?"
"Ah, so fast. I saw her at the banquet a few days ago." She also tried to seduce her husband, but it didn't work. I didn't expect retribution so soon.
Jun Shaoqing didn't tell her in detail about Su Yunnuo's kidnapping, and Su Yunnuo didn't ask any more questions. They didn't know it was Rong Jun who did it. Even when Yi Rongjun was arrested, Jun Shaoqing didn't tell her. Those things
Jun Shaoqing usually wouldn't tell her bad news.
"You deserve it, one billion! Damn, this woman is really rich!" They used to sigh, saying that such a bad woman had such a good life, and they thought that they would get retribution so soon.
"Momo, where have you been?" Xia Qixi called and asked.
"We'll be there in one hour."
"Then you drove pretty fast. I'll wait for you at home. My grandpa is killing chickens, my grandma is killing fish, and I'm making a fire. You can have hot rice when you arrive."
"Xiao Qi, tell your grandparents not to cook too much food. We can't finish it all."
"Well, you know, they are all farm side dishes."
Su Yunnuo had been to Sakura Village several times, thinking that the countryside where Xiao Qi's grandparents lived would be similar, but she didn't expect it to be much more primitive than Sakura Village.
Every household here is made of wooden houses, which are very different from the reinforced concrete structures over there and are very distinctive. The undeveloped small village looks particularly peaceful in winter and has a rural feel.
However, the roads are still quite wide and all are cement roads, and the scenery along the way is very good.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we were greeted by acres of orange trees. Occasionally, there were unpicked oranges hanging on the branches. The yellow and orange ones were particularly cute.
In addition to the orange trees, there are also very tall grapefruit trees. There are no grapefruits on the trees, they are so big.
In addition to acres of orchards, there are also farm vegetable gardens. The most popular vegetable in this season is radish and cabbage. The neat slices are also very cute.
"It would be great to live here for retirement." Su Yunuo took many beautiful photos.
When they reached the fork in the road, Xia Qixi had already come to pick them up.
"Nono, Momo, you are finally here!" Xia Qixi saw their car and ran over quickly. The three friends were so excited to see each other.
The car drove into the yard, and Xia Qixi's grandparents also came out to greet them.
After getting out of the car, Su Yunnuo couldn't help but shiver. It was indeed much colder in the countryside than in the city. Fortunately, she was dressed warmly enough.
"Grandpa and grandma, they are the Su Yunuo and Qin Momo I often tell you about."
"Good boy, come in quickly, it's cold outside."
"Grandpa and grandma, this is a gift from Nono and I to you. I hope you like it." Qin Momo gave them the prepared gifts.
"Why are these two kids still carrying things?"
"Grandpa, I wish you good health."
As soon as we entered the house, it was no longer cold and it was warm.
"Grandpa, the floor heating in your house is so comfortable." Qin Momo sighed.
"Momo, this is not floor heating, this is the temperature of firewood. It is a heater designed by my grandfather himself. If you light a fire at home in winter, the whole house will be warm."
"Wow, grandpa is really amazing."
"Yes, the tables, chairs and benches in our home were all made by my grandfather himself. There is also this old antique that you probably have never seen. We call it Weitong. We sit in it so warm that we don't want to get up at all.
I've been sitting in there watching TV and eating snacks every day these days." Xia Qixi led them into the fire room.
The fire inside the stove is burning brightly, and you can smell the strong aroma of roasted sweet potatoes when you get closer.
"Knowing that you are almost here, I roasted sweet potatoes for you. My grandparents grew the sweet potatoes themselves. They are so sweet and fragrant. Please try them while they are hot."
"Wow, it smells really good. Xiao Qi, your stove looks great."
"Yes, in addition to keeping warm, you can cook vegetables on top, roast sweet potatoes on the inside, and use the high temperature of the stove to dry clothes."
"Haha, multifunctional oven."
"Yes, the winter here is relatively cold, and every household has this kind of heater. But my grandfather's design is the best, and every room is warm."
The two of them ate roasted sweet potatoes while listening to Xia Qixi talk about some interesting things that happened in the countryside.
"It's time to eat soon. I only baked one sweet potato for you. If you think it tastes good, we can bake it again tonight." Xia Qixi said, pouring a bowl of tea for each of them.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"Bitter buckwheat tea is very fragrant. I wonder if you are used to it."
"As long as we are used to eating, we will do as the Romans do."
The two of them ate roasted sweet potatoes and drank tea, feeling full. Xia Qixi brought a lot of snacks, including peanuts fried by her grandma, melon seeds fried by her grandma, and various snacks made by her grandma. Almost all of them were self-sufficient.
Self-sufficient.
"Wow, these peanuts are the most fragrant peanuts I have ever tasted. The peanuts themselves have a very rich aroma and are more delicious than the ones I have bought." Qin Momo is a big foodie and wants to try everything.
Su Yunnuo drank tea and replied to their uncle a message.
"Husband, we have arrived safely."
"Xiaoqi, please invite your two friends over for dinner. Grandma's lunch has been prepared."
The two of them never stopped talking when they arrived in the countryside, eating and drinking.
Xiaoqi's grandparents cooked a large table of dishes. Everything was so delicious that the two of them ate it up.
After lunch, Xia Qixi said she would take them out to play and pick up a very special fruit in the mountains. Su Yunnuo and Qin Momo happily agreed.
"Xiao Qi, this basket is so cute. Did grandpa make it himself?" Su Yunnuo couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, yes, this little basket is quite old. I had it when I was very young, and it hasn't broken after so many years."
"I'm so envious. When I see everything in your house, I feel that life is wonderful. It would be great if someone could inherit this skill of grandpa."
"I used to want to learn knitting from my grandfather, but my grandfather said that a girl couldn't learn it, so he didn't let me learn it. In fact, it's not easy to learn this. My grandfather's hands were covered with thick calluses. In the past,
I often get my hands pricked.”
"It's imaginable, so people nowadays are not willing to learn it."
The three of them walked along the main road and soon came to a small road. On the small road, there was a chestnut tree with many chestnut shells still left under the tree.
"Xiao Qi, what is this?" Although the two of them had eaten chestnuts, they had never seen chestnut shells.
"This is the shell of chestnut. The chestnuts you usually eat are wrapped in this."
