Chapter 152 153 Thank You Gift
The two of them left the affairs of the workshop in the hands of Li Mei and his wife, the affairs of Zhuangzi in the hands of Old Man Zhao and Jin Jiu, Erya was in charge of cultivating rice seeds, and Uncle Zhou was in charge.
As soon as the couple had arranged things, Qian, Jiang Xiaoan, Chen Gui and his brother arrived.
Qian took out a few pairs of shoes and a skirt and put them on the table. She smiled and said to Zhou Jia and Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhou, you have taken care of me all these years. When you got here, you lent us money to repair our house. The workshop allows us to make money, and we live a good life. These pairs of shoes and this skirt are a little bit of my mother and son's thoughts, please accept them."
Li Yu looked at Qian and Jiang Xiaoan and said with a smile: "Aunt Qian, Xiao An, thank you for the gift. You have already paid back the money, so don't worry about it. Aunt Qian, Xiao An, after we leave, Please help my aunt take care of the workshop."
Qian's mother and son said quickly: "Xiaoyu, you are too polite. These are what we should do."
The Chen Gui brothers bowed to the two of them and said: "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, you are leaving. My uncles have nothing to give, so I asked your aunt to make some pairs of shoes and socks for you and your wife. I wish you the best." Have a safe journey.”
The couple thanked them politely. After the Chen Gui brothers and Qian's mother and son left, Old Hu came again with the villagers. At the end of the day, the couple was busy receiving the grateful villagers.
Zhou Jia was full of emotions: Most of the villagers are still very simple, and everyone keeps the friendship in their hearts.
After everything was arranged, the couple set out on October 19th with Lucky and Ruyi, He Tiezhu, and Agou.
The villagers sent the group to the entrance of the village. Li Mei, mother and daughter, burst into tears. Brother Zhu was so scared that he hugged Li Mei's legs and started crying.
Li Mei quickly picked up Brother Zhu and looked at Li Yu with tears in her eyes, "Brother Zhu, my cousin is leaving. I'll see you next time. I'm afraid Brother Zhu is already studying."
Zhaodi held Li Yu's hand, and Laidi held Li Yu's lapel, "Cousin, please remember to come back to see us, ah!"
Li Yu reluctantly hugged Lai Di and Zhao Di, "You take good care of my aunt. Ah Qing also asks you to ask me. When my sister is settled, you can come to us with the delivery truck." The two sisters nodded in agreement. .
Butcher He and his wife looked at their daughter and son-in-law with great sadness. Watching the convoy slowly leaving, Mrs. Huang cried sadly, "You stinky girl, as long as my husband-in-law doesn't want your mother and I."
Everyone arrived in Tongzhou and stayed there for one night. Li Qing, Jixiang and Shopkeeper Chu sent Zhou Jia and his party to the city gate.
Li Qing pulled Li Yu, pretending to be strong and said, "Sister, please be safe on the road. You and your brother-in-law have a safe trip."
Li Yu wiped away tears and looked at Li Qing, "I know, sister, you should remember to put on more clothes at home to avoid catching the cold. Sister, I bought pills and put them in your room. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to take one pill first..."
Zhou Jia saw Li Yu giving mixed instructions, Li Qing watched Li Yu nodding like garlic, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, don't worry, A Qing will have some time to study in Tongzhou, he will take care of himself. "
"Sister, don't worry! I will take care of myself." Li Qing said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Chu said to Zhou Jia and Li Yu: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Li, don't worry, I will help you take care of your brother. There will also be people at Zhuangzi to watch over you. No one dares to make trouble. If you encounter difficulties along the way, you can go to the people in various places." Banks all over the world help."
Zhou Jia cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, shopkeeper Chu. We will meet again next year when you come back."
Zhou Jia turned to look at Jixiang's nose and small eyes, which were red from crying, "Jixiang, stop crying. If you continue crying, you won't be able to see the way back to the city."
Jixiang stamped his feet and said, "Master, I am so sad that you are still laughing at me."
Zhaocai and Ruyi stepped forward and hugged Jixiang, "Good brother, wait for us to settle down in Kyoto. I'll wait for you in Kyoto."
Ji Xiang couldn't help but nod, and everyone laughed when they looked at Ji Xiang's red nose.
Zhou Jia took the lead in getting on the carriage and waved goodbye to everyone, "We are leaving, everyone go back!"
Everyone waved reluctantly. Li Qing and Ji Xiang watched the carriage go away before returning to the city with Shopkeeper Chu.
The group of people sat on the car and staggered forward. Li Yu looked at the scenery along the way, leaned on the car and smiled: "After a round, we are on the road to Kyoto again."
Zhou Jia looked at the red leaves falling on the trees and said with emotion, "Yes! After a long trip, we are on the way to Kyoto again."
The group of people walked to the end of noon and stopped at an inn. The waiter came up and asked politely: "Do you want to stay in an inn or a hotel?"
"Take the tips and feed the animals."
The shopkeeper stood at the door and looked at the group of people. The men were handsome and the women were pretty. They looked like they were not ordinary people. He quickly told the waiter: "Give them a good greeting and don't neglect them."
The clerk nodded, "I understand, the shopkeeper."
Ruyi and Zhaocai took the animal to the waiter, and the group entered the inn.
He Xiaoyu and Agou climbed out of a carriage behind them. Both of them lost the novelty they felt when they first got on the carriage, and looked tired.
Zhou Jia and Li Yu looked at the dejected looks of several people. Zhou Jia smiled and comforted them: "There are still a few months to go, so you will get used to it slowly."
Xiaoyu walked over and pulled Li Yu, "Young madam, before I could escape the famine in a carriage, it would be so comfortable to ride in an ox cart that I would almost faint."
Ruyi smiled and said, "There is no comparison between the days of fleeing and now. At that time, after a day's walking, everyone's legs would get cramps and the soles of their feet would get calluses. You are just pampering yourself at home."
He Tiezhu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! People become more and more squeamish as they grow up. When I was fleeing from famine, I carried a bow on my back and walked for several months without having anything to eat before I got to Tongzhou. I seemed to have forgotten all the fatigue I had suffered. I only remembered how hungry I was. Uncomfortable."
The shopkeeper politely stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what kind of food and drinks would you like to have?"
Zhou Jia said with a smile: "Pick up some light vegetables and bring two pots of boiling water for us to fill the water bladders with."
The shopkeeper smiled politely and said, "Yes, just wait a moment, we'll be here soon."
After everyone sat and rested for a while, the shopkeeper took the waiters to serve the food. Li Yu saw fried eggs with leeks, cold eggplant, salted duck eggs... all were home-cooked side dishes, and they were enough to go with the meal.
After eating, the group started on the road again. Before dark, they arrived at the foot of the mountain in front of the Wild Boar Ridge where the lone wolf was entrenched.
Zhaocai caught up from behind and said to Zhou Jia: "Master, there is an inn at the corner ahead. We will stay there tonight. We will go to Yezhuling during the day tomorrow. A few years ago, the merchants passing by said that Yeling was uneasy. born."
Zhou Jia nodded, "Okay, if we go further we will miss Sutou. Let's stay in front."
After the group arrived at the inn and stayed, Zhaocai asked the innkeeper, "Governor, I want to ask you, is the black ridge in front of you safe now?"
The innkeeper chuckled and said, "Ansheng is safe. General Shen sent troops to wipe out the bandits years ago. Otherwise, my inn would not dare to open its doors for business."
Zhaocai agreed and said: "That's right, who would dare to open the door for business if there is no stability? Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
After everyone stayed in the inn for one night, everyone set out early in the morning. The road went smoothly for more than half a month, and we were almost at Qijun.
Halfway through the day, the cold wind blew on his face like a knife. Zhou Jiahe, Zhaocai and Ruyi Tiezhu were wearing hats, with their eye circles exposed. Li Yu looked at the dark clouds in the sky getting more and more Thick, there was thunder at the top of the mountain, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and soon it started to rain heavily. The rain made a loud splash and floated into the car along the eaves of the car.
