When Chu Heng returned home, it was already past five o'clock, and a red sun was rising slantingly from the sky, and the hazy purple mist disappeared in a flash.
Yang Guizhi also woke up early. Yang Qing and Ren Lingling were leaving early today. Last night, Ni Yinghong ordered her to get up early and go to Huguo Temple to buy breakfast.
The two of them happened to bump into each other at the entrance of the alley. They were both exhausted after not getting much rest yesterday, so they simply said hello, said a few words, and then walked past each other yawning profusely.
Chu Heng entered the courtyard and returned to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the two people sleeping on the bed hugging each other under the quilt. He immediately rolled his eyes at them speechlessly.
You’re not betraying anyone anymore, are you?
Although I have received the certificate, hasn’t the wedding still been held?
It’s okay to just show off!
Shameless!
A certain bitch who just got engaged and arranged for his partner strongly condemned the young couple in his heart, shook his head and returned to the east room.
Ni Yinghong was still sleeping at this time, lying on the bed with her back stretched out, one jade leg still exposed outside the quilt, a sweet smile that seemed to be absent on her charming face, and she didn't know what sweet dream she had last night.
Chu Heng, who had barely slept all night yesterday, walked quietly to the bed, quickly took off his clothes and threw them aside, got into bed and got into bed, closed his eyes tiredly, and soon began to snore.
Feeling that there was suddenly a hot body around her, Ni Yinghong opened her eyes in confusion. She frowned and went to her husband who smelled of alcohol and took a sniff. After muttering something unclear, she left.
Skillfully, she snuck into her husband's arms and fell asleep with her pillow on his chest.
Half past six.
Knowing that Chu Heng didn't sleep much last night, Yang Guizhi deliberately came over a little late to wake the young couple up.
After waiting for them to wash up and wash themselves, it was almost seven o'clock before they had breakfast.
In order to let Ren Lingling taste the special breakfast of Forty-Nine City, Ni Yinghong asked Yang Guizhi to buy a lot of things, such as noodles and tea, soybean juice, fried liver, fried cakes, steamed buns, coke rings, fried cakes, fried cakes, etc. It is called a complete set, and the sticks are there
I can even call the whole family a full banquet.
Chu Heng sat at the dining table and looked at the various breakfasts that were almost crowded on the table. He once suspected that his wife was greedy and was looking for an excuse to indulge in luxury.
After all, things like noodle tea, bean juice, and fried liver may not be something that outsiders are used to.
"Come on, Lingling, try this bean juice."
“There’s also fried liver, I really like this!”
"Is the burnt circle delicious?"
At the dinner table, Xiao Ni frantically went to Ren Lingling, whom she had only met for a few days but was as good as a real sister.
Ren Lingling couldn't resist the warm welcome. She could only frown and drink the swill-like bean juice and suck the garlic-flavored fried liver. If it weren't for a few pretty good things, she would have eaten all of this breakfast.
Spit it out.
She looked at Chu Heng and his wife, who were happily drinking bean juice and taking a bite of stinky tofu from time to time, with pity in their eyes.
The people at the base of this imperial city have never eaten anything good!
Tsk.
Look at these things. They are either sour, smelly, or dirty. Is there anything serious?
In this way, the time quickly came to half past seven.
They finally finished the sumptuous but somewhat shabby breakfast.
Just as he was cleaning up the mess, Du San and a few brothers drove over in a big truck and wanted to take Yang Qing back.
"The car is outside, when will we leave?"
"Let's go now. You're tired. Third brother, I'm going to put you through this."
"Hey, my brother, why are you so polite? This sewing machine is yours, right? Come on, brothers, move this to the car first."
"Slow down, slow down, don't knock!"
Several people worked together and quickly moved the few things Yang Qing bought into a shabby old truck parked at the entrance of the alley.
"Come on, Lingling, take this. It's not a good thing. It's just some food. I brought it to my family."
At the entrance of the alley, Ni Yinghong stuffed a cloth bag prepared overnight yesterday into Ren Lingling's hand. There were pastries, candied fruits, canned luncheon meat, and milk powder in it.
Normally speaking, when relatives from rural areas come to the city, they usually bring some old clothes or give them some money. But Yang Qing is not short of these now, so they can only send some uncommon food.
"Oh, sister-in-law, no, we don't want it, take it back quickly." Ren Lingling has seen the world in a few days and knows what her husband's family is like, but she is unwilling to accept it. She feels that her family has received too many favors.
, I’m really embarrassed to accept it again.
"Take it as you are told. We don't lack this at home." Chu Heng felt that the two of them were being naughty, so he couldn't help but snatch the cloth bag that was being pushed around by the two women and stuff it into Yang Qing's hand.
"Then I'll take it, brother." Yang Qing hugged the thing and grinned. He was already planning to hunt down some rabbits and pheasants later to return the favor first. As for the rest, he could only take his time.
It’s too slow to pay back, but if I live longer in this life, I might still be able to pay it back...
"Qing'er."
Yang Guizhi stepped forward at this time, with a smile on her face that showed the simplicity and mellowness of rural people. She took out a red envelope from her pocket and gave it to Yang Qing. In it were five brand-new one-dollar bills that she had specially exchanged with Ni Yinghong yesterday.
, her one-month salary contains blood and family ties and gratitude to her third uncle and grandpa: "I won't go back when you get married. You can keep this. It's my sister's consideration."
"Thank you, sister." Yang Qing knew it was a share of the money and took it with a smile. But as soon as he got it, he felt something wrong. He had been dealing with money during this period, and he knew how much it was as soon as he pinched the thickness, so he quickly opened it and took a look.
, seeing that there were so many, he quickly sent them back: "I can't have this, sister, it's too much."
"Why can't I have it? Take it quickly, or I'll get angry!"
"I can't ask for it even if you're angry."
While the two siblings were giving in, Chu Heng reached out and snatched away the red envelope, put it back in Yang Guizhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Guizhi, don't bother with him anymore. We'll talk about it later when he gets married."
You all go, you can just pay the account when the time comes and it’s over.”
"Ah? I can go back too?" Yang Guizhi, who had regretted not being able to go back to attend her brother's wedding, was suddenly surprised and said hurriedly: "But if I leave too, what will happen to the animals at home?"
"Let others help feed you." Chu Heng smiled at her, then turned to Yang Qing and his wife and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go quickly, Du San and the others have to go back today.
"
"Oh, let's go then."
"Sister-in-law, brother, sister Guizhi, you should come early when the time comes."
After the young couple said goodbye to them reluctantly, they turned around and got into the carriage of the big truck. With a roar, they left a trail of exhaust gas and drifted away.
Then Chu Heng and the others hurried back to the house, preparing to pick up their things and go to work.
Just when they were about to leave with their respective bags, Yang Guizhi coyly stopped the two of them.
"Um, Hengzi, Yinghong, I want to discuss something with you two."
"What's wrong? Sister Guizhi." Xiao Ni looked over in confusion with her big belly.
Yang Guizhi blushed and said embarrassedly: "I...I want to ask you for some tickets, and I want to buy some cigarettes and wine for Third Master and the others to go back."
She knew the character of this couple, and they would definitely not ask for money if they wanted to buy tickets, so she didn't mention buying them. That would be too fake.
"Hey, what kind of ticket do you need? There are a lot of cigarettes and alcohol at home, just pick some and take them. Why waste that money?" Chu Heng said with a smile. Nowadays, people come to his house from time to time to deliver things, especially when
Sometimes he has to move to his father-in-law and second uncle's house for tobacco, alcohol and other things, otherwise he won't have anywhere to put them.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guizhi said nothing, saying that she wanted to deliver things herself, so there was no reason to take advantage of them. In the end, the young couple couldn't stand it anymore, so they had no choice but to agree and hurried out to go to work.
They got up late in the morning, and seeing off Yang Qing and Ren Lingling, it was almost time to go to work, and they would be too late if they didn't leave.
Chu Heng drove the car at high speed, turning left and right on the bustling streets. He tried his best, but Ni Yinghong was still late.
"Oops, five minutes late!"
Ni Yinghong, who had never eaten since she started working, hurriedly got out of the car and trotted into the shop.
"Slow down!"
Chu Heng watched nervously, fearing that his wife would fall.
Fortunately, the accident did not happen. After he escorted his wife to the office safely, he walked out of the shop and drove away quickly. At nine o'clock, the Grain Bureau had an important meeting that he had to attend. He was two hours late.
Uncle must whip him.
…
Unconsciously, the time has quickly arrived on the 13th, and there are only a few days left before Yang Qing's wedding.
Last night, Chu Heng and the others discussed the departure time at home. Finally, Ni Yinghong, who wanted to go out for a few days, made the final decision. They were going to leave home on the 14th, which is tomorrow. When they get there, they would first walk around the big city and then go there in the evening.
Where does Yang Guizhi live?
Therefore, early this morning, Ni Yinghong, who rarely went out, started to pack things with Yang Guizhi. They basically took some food, drink, clothing, and smoking. As long as they had a lot of things at home, they
, prepare to give a share to those relatives in the village.
It's like going to the countryside to express condolences...
"You guys eat first. I'm going to make a phone call and ask Yang Qing to tidy up my house. It's been so long since I've been back. It must be really dirty."
After tidying up things for a while and putting breakfast on the table, Yang Guizhi ran back to the house, put on the bright clothes that she would only wear when going outside, took another fifty cents, and went out to call home.
"Hey, you, what are you in a hurry for? Let's go after dinner." Chu Heng said, dumbfounded.
"It's better to take the shot first and then eat it, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Yang Guizhi refused and hurried out the door. She was afraid of neglecting Chu Heng and his wife, so she wanted to inform Yang Qing early and prepare more things.
"Sister Guizhi is impatient, so please leave her alone."
Ni Yinghong, whose mouth was full and her cheeks were bulging, said something unclearly and then continued to eat.
"This is too urgent." Chu Heng smiled and shook his head, twisting half of the bun in one gulp.
Not long after.
Yang Guizhi came back with a smile on her face. After sitting down and eating, she said to the young couple: "I told Yang Qing to borrow a new quilt for the bed, and the kang also kept him warm, otherwise he wouldn't have been burning for so long.
Yes, it must be very humid. By the way, he also told me that there will be a movie showing in the team tomorrow night. Then we can watch it together. It is at the threshing floor. It is so lively that everyone in the team behind us has to go...
"
Speaking of her hometown, she couldn't help but feel homesick in her heart after having been away from home for several months, and her face couldn't help showing a look of joy, like a sparrow about to return to its nest, and she was both looking forward to and longing for it.
Even though that place caused her too much pain, it was the place where she was born and raised after all. How could she not remember it?
The old trees at the entrance of the village, the fence in front of the house, the hairless yellow dogs, the simple villagers, as well as the bricks and tiles, the plants and trees, have long been deeply engraved in her mind and cannot be erased or thrown away.
Not open.
Chu Heng and his wife could also understand her mood. They listened with laughter, adding a few words from time to time, and it took them a while to finish breakfast.
"Let's go, Sister Guizhi. After you finish cleaning up, take out some more Pegasus cigarettes from under the bed in my room. I don't smoke them anyway, so why not get some more for Yang Qing to use on the wedding day."
The young couple wiped their lips, packed their bags, told Yang Guizhi again, and left home hand in hand.
After seeing off his wife, Chu Heng drove to Beixinqiao Qianqian Tailor Shop.
Avima's mother-in-law has been urging him these past few days, almost annoying him to death, so Chu Heng wanted to come and see if anything was ready. If so, he would take a few of them over and gag that woman's mouth.
, let yourself be pure and pure.
Coincidentally, when he came over, Master Gao Wenlong from the tailor shop had just arrived.
The two happened to meet at the door.
"Leader Chu!"
Seeing Chu Heng, the little old man, who was only over 150 meters tall, walked up to him with his short legs, walking three steps in a row.
"Master Gao." Chu Heng smiled and handed the old man a cigarette, lowered his head and asked, "I came here today to see how those clothes are doing."
"Two sets have been made. Come on, let me show you." The old man quickly put away the cigarette in his hand and pulled him inside.
The two of them walked straight into the warehouse of the workshop at the back.
There are a lot of things piled up here, including fabrics, clothes, and various miscellaneous tools.
After Gao Wenlong came in, he rummaged through the rack where clothes were hung and quickly found two sets of brightly colored clothes. He held the clothes like a treasure and handed them to Chu Heng: "You can see if it works."
Chu Heng didn't know much about this, so he took it over to look at the stitches and styles. He thought they were pretty good, so he nodded with a smile and said, "It's pretty good. Thank you for your hard work, Master Gao. I'll just take these two sets and leave the rest."
Please worry more about it."
"As long as you are satisfied, it's not hard work. I am willing to serve the country no matter how hard or tiring it is." Gao Wenlong said with a smile, his consciousness was exactly the opposite of his head, he was very high.
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Chu Heng left with his things.
He drove directly to the Cuban Embassy.
It was rare for Avima to not sleep in late. She got up early yesterday knowing that Chu Heng would come to deliver something early in the morning. At this time, she was eagerly waiting at the door.
As soon as Chu Heng's car stopped, the woman trotted out to greet him.
"Is it done? Chu."
"There are two sets of ready-made clothes." Chu Heng wordlessly took out the two sets of clothes from the car and handed them to Ivy who was full of expectations. He really didn't understand. There were only a few sets. Why did this woman do this?
Urgent? It seems like I can fly away in a day's delay.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
The foreign woman looked at the clothes in her hand with surprise and liked it so much that she couldn't wait to pull Chu Heng inside to try on them.
