NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 166: who is outside
Chapter 166 Who is outside?
When he got up the next day, An Zhiqiu went to the courtyard cafeteria as usual to make rice, thick millet porridge, a hard-boiled egg for each person, two rice dumplings, and some radish and pickles.
After dinner, the two of them changed into the most inconspicuous clothes that they only wore when working. The clothes are clean and tidy, and they still can't suppress their good looks when worn on them. The cuffs and hem of the clothes are somewhat fashionable.
It’s just that the clothes they wore underneath were made by An Zhixia to keep them warm. They were light, soft and insulating. Compared with the people wearing large cotton trousers and large cotton-padded jackets wrapped in military coats, they were extremely thin.
They prepared several gifts, put them in sacks and put them on the back seat of the car.
After locking the door, An Zhiqiu got on the car with her long legs and sat down. An Zhixia got in from her brother's arms, sat on the beam, rang the bell in a novel way, and said "Let's go." The elder brother kicked off his long legs, and the two of them jumped out.
"Comrade An, Comrade Xiao An, are you going to visit relatives?" An Zhixia worked as a salesperson in Nanhua for a day yesterday. He had a smile on his face and a soft voice. The fierce reputation he had established before seemed to disappear all of a sudden. Neighbors saw them carrying sacks and greeted them with smiles.
“Yes, go back to my hometown,” An Zhiqiu said loudly with a smile.
Although they live in Dongcheng District, close to Shizhong District, their home is located in the outer suburbs of Xicheng District, so they went to the bus terminal first, put their bicycles on the roof rack, and sat in the last row with their sacks.
It’s cold outside, almost all the windows are closed, and all kinds of smells are suffocating together, including the smell of gasoline, sweat, stinky feet, onions, garlic, leeks, and poultry excrement!
An Zhixia got into the car and buried her nose directly on her brother's shoulder, looking around curiously with her big eyes.
The flow of people in Kyoto is much greater than that in Jinzhou, so the passenger cars are also larger and are made of two spliced together. The young conductor wearing a blue hat shouted loudly: "Is there anyone else going to Xicheng District? The train will leave in five minutes!"
Most of the people who paid for the bus were visiting relatives, carrying large and small bags, and their voices were more joyful and energetic than usual, telling the children around them how they were when they were young.
With the car stopping and stopping, everyone was busy for about 20 minutes, and then they all started to fall asleep. When the sun was shining, Xicheng District Station arrived.
After getting out of the car and moving the car, An Zhiqiu looked at everything familiar, took a deep breath, and said to the girl with red eyes: "We are back, we are finally back!"
An Zhixia nodded, took out a small golden orange from her pocket, pushed it open, stuffed half of it into her brother's mouth, and put it in her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and chewing. Yesterday she went to the headquarters. Although she didn't meet the big boss, she did see a few familiar people. She was stuffed with a bagful of oranges and talked about the benefits of the leaders, giving her sweet words.
Oranges are sour, sweet and juicy, which dispels the discomfort along the way and makes people feel energetic immediately.
"Let's go to your Brother Huzi's house first to hear the news," An Zhiqiu patted the beam. After the girl sat on it, he kicked out of the station and ran through the alleys.
An Zhixia was so confused that even if she had the memory of the original owner, she would never be able to get out of this maze-like alley.
"We're here," An Zhiqiu braked the car, supported the car with one leg, and patted the **** the head, "Let's see if Aunt Xue and your Brother Huzi are at home?"
An Zhixia nodded. The original owner's memory was very vague. He only remembered that Xue's mother gave the two brothers and sisters some black-faced cornstarch. The original owner was grateful to him, but she didn't feel anything at all, and walked to the yard in a hurry.
This Hetao'er Hutong is inhabited by workers from several nearby factories and their families. There are often several families living in one courtyard, just like what it was like before the Anjia bought the courtyard home. The difference is that these houses belong to factories, not individuals.
"Xue, are Aunt Xue here? Brother Hu Zi?" An Zhixia cleared his throat and shouted.
A long-faced young daughter-in-law came out with a teapot and stared at her: "Who are you? Why are you looking for my family Guofei? Why didn't I know that the Xue family has a relative like you, and you call me Brother Huzi, so cute?" Right?"
An Zhiqiu parked the car and came in. When he heard this, his face was slightly solemn. He put his arms around his girl and said, "You are Guofei's new wife, right? We are An Zhiqiu and An Zhixia from Qianhutong. We grew up with Huzi. "Grown up."
"Oh, it's you," Sister-in-law Xue pouted and looked them up and down, finally stopping at An Zhixia's ridiculously beautiful face. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the neighbor's head sticking out of the window and pulled her Face said: "Even if you grow up, a girl as old as your sister can't call everyone brother."
"Dongyun, who is outside?" Mother Xue asked as she strode out of the house and was stunned for a moment when she saw the two young people in the yard.
"Are you Zhiqiu or Zhixia?" The aunt next door also took advantage of the situation and walked out, "Oh, how can people in the countryside be so good at raising people? It's only been a year since we last met. Why have you changed so much? If you didn't tell us, who among us would have recognized each other? ?”
"Qiuzi, Xia Xia, is it really you?" For some reason, An Zhixia felt a little strange when she saw the smile on Xue's mother's face. Before she could think about it, Xue's mother was full of joy and held each other's hands with great enthusiasm. Pulling into the house, "Dongyun, hurry up and make two bowls of candied eggs." Then she shouted to the hut at the top of her lungs: "Huzi, get up quickly, Qiuzi and Xiaxia are here!"
Just as Dongyun was about to say something, her mother-in-law glared at her, so she could only stomp her feet and mutter something about making candied eggs.
"When did you come back? We didn't hear anything? You haven't changed in a year. You have changed so much. As expected, you can live a good life only if you leave that evil-minded woman," Xue's mother looked at her lovingly. Looking at the brother and sister, he said with tears: "You are really, really becoming more and more like your mother. It would be great if she were still alive. You and your family would be so happy that no one could catch up. How could we be as noisy as now?" He was so mad that he was laughed at. "
Xue Guofei was fastening his buttons and walked out with blurry eyes: "Mom, if you don't want to see me sleeping in, just tell me, why are you joking about Qiuzi's arrival? If they come, don't follow me in advance..." Before he finished speaking, he stared at The two brothers and sisters sitting in the main room rubbed their eyes vigorously, "Oh my god, these two people really look like Qiuzi and Xia Xia!"
"You bastard, are you sleepy?" Xue's mother patted him on the back angrily, "Hurry up and wash your face. The guests are here. What are you talking about? Your sisters and brother-in-law will also be here later. Don't worry. Being laughed at by my nephews.”
Xue Guofei chuckled, said hello to the brothers and sisters, glanced at An Zhixia and rushed out to wash up with a red face.
An Zhixia frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows. She looked at the unnatural smile on her brother's face and sighed secretly.
