Chapter 294 Departure
After finishing the meal, before Gu Zixi could say anything, Gu Zhaolin took the initiative to ask Ying to wash the dishes.
"You guys sit down and rest while I wash the dishes."
The main reason for being so self-conscious was that he had long heard that Gao Yanbin and Xia Zhi had dinner together.
There is a division of labor. During the summer solstice, Gao Yanbin is responsible for cleaning up the dishes and fetching water and firewood.
Finally, the relationship between him and Xia Zhi has eased. If at first he just felt that he had done something wrong,
He owed Xia Zhi an apology.
But after eating this meal, he felt that his sister's thigh must be hugged tightly now.
What was his life like before?
The food I cook is unpalatable and always mushy.
Why should he leave his good sister beside him? If he doesn't try to please her, he must ask for trouble.
This is his biological sister.
Fortunately, there was no furniture at home, and the two of them had nowhere to go, so they could only sit at the door and accompany him.
He was washing dishes there, and the two of them were chatting.
"I want to go to Taohua Village to visit my parents tomorrow. Summer Solstice, how about we go together?"
Gu Zixi hesitated again and again, but finally said that her parents expected and missed her sister much more deeply than she did.
My mother is in poor health, but she is actually looking forward to seeing her sister.
"I……"
Xia Zhi was hesitant and had not yet sorted out his thoughts.
Although it was said that Gu Han was still blocking some things that happened, it made her let go of the grudges from her previous life, and she seemed to still feel a little resentful.
I always feel that I am too holy to forgive others so easily.
But another voice in her head told her.
These are her biological parents, something she has never had in her two lifetimes.
Doesn't she want it?
She wanted it, wanted it badly.
A longing buried deep in the bones.
Since her rebirth, she has tried hard to suppress it and told herself not to expect anything from anyone.
Without hope there will be no disappointment.
But now everything is clearly within reach, and the suppressed desire jumps out instantly.
It was like a spark buried under the ashes suddenly burst into raging flames.
A single spark ignited a prairie fire, as if the cold despair in his heart was instantly loosened.
Gu Zhaolin heard Xia Zhi's hesitant voice and said hurriedly.
"Don't be mentally burdened, we are not forcing you."
Such a reasonable sentence made Xia Zhi amused. When could this second brother be so kind and cheerful?
"Okay, then I won't go tomorrow, after all, I still have so many things to do here.
I didn’t know anyone when I went there. Why did I go to Taohua Village? Could it be that I was visiting the production team leader’s house? "
She thought of teasing Gu Zhaolin, and it was obvious that Gu Zhaolin's originally straight back dropped down the moment he heard her words.
Washing dishes there dejectedly.
Obviously, this second brother is also starting to be dishonest and playing tricks on himself.
Gu Zixi said gently,
“If you don’t want to go, don’t go.
Have a good rest. "
They have no right to ask Xia Zhi to do anything.
"But speaking of which, the production captain of Taohua Village invited me to be a guest. How about I go to the captain's house to take a look?"
Xia Zhi waited for a few seconds before blurting out.
These words immediately made the two grown men look at her in surprise and joy, especially Gu Zhaolin's shining eyes, with an expression like a little puppy trying to please its owner.
All it takes is a tail, and the flowers will surely come out.
"real?"
"But it's definitely not appropriate for me to visit the production team leader. How about we call Gao Yanbin together?"
Xia Zhi considered the treatment Gu's mother received in the production team last time and felt that if she wanted to consolidate the relationship, she couldn't rush to see Gu's mother even if she went.
It can only be done through the production captain, but her relationship with the production captain's family has no friendship at all.
But Gao Yanbin is different, he is an absolute relative.
Gu Zhaolin blurted out,
"Why did you take him there? He is just a troublemaker."
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes, and Gu Zhaolin had to admit that Gu Zhaolin's emotional intelligence was not high enough in his two lifetimes.
"You, you still don't know who Gao Yanbin is?
Even though I live in the same house with you, you haven't even developed a relationship with Gao Yanbin.
Gao Yanbin is an absolute relative of the production captain. If something happens to the village due to their relationship, Gao Yanbin will be the best shield. "
Gu Zixi looked at his brother being so stupid.
I had to open my mouth to clear up my doubts.
After hearing this, Gu Zhaolin was thoughtful, and then quickly turned red.
Xia Zhi made an appointment with them, and the four of them would set off together tomorrow morning.
Today, when Gu Zhaolin goes back, he has to tell Gao Yanbin in advance, and they both have to ask for leave.
After sending the two brothers away, Xia Zhi closed the door and wondered what he should do.
It was obvious that the Gu family wanted to bring something there, but if they didn't bring something there, they couldn't buy anything even if they gave them money.
what to do?
You must not bring food with you, as it would be too conspicuous.
You can bring some medicine for them. I heard that the old couple suffered a lot there.
Gu's mother coughed so badly the day she saw him.
Father Gu heard that he had rheumatism.
Xia Zhi thought about it for a while, and it seemed that she had to find a way to get some medicine. Fortunately, the last time Zhou Zhengan came to visit her, he brought a lot of medicine to her.
They are all prescribed by the team, and they have a relatively complete range of such drugs.
I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find them all, and they were all wrapped up in the baggage.
Then he saw the sheepskin and the wolf skin that Zhou Zhengan had brought for him.
These two things are definitely good things to keep warm in the winter here.
Roll it up, roll it up, tie it up.
I also put some dried meat I made into my satchel, so that it looked like I wasn’t carrying anything, but I was actually carrying a lot of things.
After Xia Zhi packed up her things, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Probably because of the fear of being close to home.
There was no daylight the next day, so they had to set off early.
They gathered at Xia Zhi, and the four of them rushed to the carriage with flashlights.
Gao Yanbin said while yawning.
"What's so good about Peach Blossom Village? I have to go to Peach Blossom Village even though I'm in the dark."
You two brothers can just go, why are you dragging me and Xia Zhi along? Can't we just sleep a little longer? "
Xia Zhi divided the egg pancakes in his hand into each of their hands.
This is the egg-filled pancake she made. Not only does it contain eggs, it's also stuffed with shredded potatoes and pickles.
Absolutely delicious.
As soon as Gao Yanbin smelled the fragrance, even the sleepy bugs flew away.
"Hey, Xiaoxia, how come you've even prepared breakfast? Just for this breakfast, I can get up whenever you want me to."
He took a big bite of the egg-filled pancake and immediately smashed it into his mouth.
Xia Zhi smiled and said,
“My brain is very tired after training, so I don’t want to relax.
But there is no place to relax around, that is, to get to know Taohua Village. Last time you said that the mats made in Taohua Village are particularly good.
The design and color are good, and the workmanship is good. I just thought about going there to look for it during my break.
I brought back two beds of mats. You also know that I moved to a new house and lacked everything. "
Gao Yanbin nodded immediately after hearing this.
"I'm really right, I told you that the mats made in Taohua Village are really good.
Durable. "
