Chapter 381 What Wind Brought This Little Ancestor Here?
The rainstorm did not last long, but it continued to pour down and it looked like it would not stop.
Xuyuan saw that it was almost time to go home from school, so he took an umbrella and walked towards the school.
Hsinchu Academy
The children in the village who had umbrellas went home in groups of three or five. Guozi pushed their cart and stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside, feeling helpless. The eldest sister had reminded them to bring umbrellas when going out early in the morning, but they had forgotten.
Liu Yuelai only brought an umbrella, which was not available for borrowing at all.
"Brother Yuelai, you guys go first. You don't have to worry about us. We didn't bring an umbrella. Big sister will definitely come back to pick us up." Xuanyi said to Liu Yuelai.
"Don't worry, I'll ask my father to take you back." Gu Qingming walked forward and echoed.
"You go back first. If Yuan Yatou doesn't come later, I will send them back." Village Chief Gu put away all the pens and ink on the table and waved his hand to let Liu Yuelai and the others go back first.
"Okay, then we'll go." Liu Yuelai nodded, opened an umbrella, and led Liu Xiaoyu, Daquan and Wang Huan out of the school.
"Father, do you think my brother and his friends will encounter such heavy rain on the road after walking for such a long time?"
Gu Qingming recalled how the sky had darkened in an instant, followed by a loud thunder that frightened many timid children in the village and made them burst into tears.
"We can encounter all kinds of situations on the road. Isn't weather like this common?" Village Chief Gu explained, it's just that the rain is a bit frequent this year.
"Ah? If Brother Gu and the others get caught in the rain, will they get sick?" Many people asked worriedly.
"They are all adults and can take care of themselves. All we have to do is wait for them to come back."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Gu smiled and replied.
The school was not far away, and Xu Yuan arrived here quickly. It was still the same as before, with the wooden sign of Hsinchu School still hanging on the door frame, and there was still a small open space in the middle, and then the school.
Guozi had been standing by the window, looking at the door. When he saw a familiar figure walking in, he shouted excitedly, "Big Sister!"
"Yuan girl, you're here!" Village Chief Gu saw Xu Yuan walking in and nodded to her.
"Thank you for waiting for so long, Gu Cun."
"What's the trouble? Now that you're here, go home quickly. I think the rain is going to get heavier again." Village Chief Gu stood up and closed the doors and windows.
"By the way, Wugu ran to my house and is sleeping soundly now. It will probably run back when the rain stops." Xu Yuan thought of the kitten that, after drying itself, automatically found a good place and began to sleep soundly. He took the initiative to say something, for fear that he would find it missing later and look for it everywhere.
"Ah? Sister Xuyuan, how did Wugu run to your house? It's so smart that it can even recognize where your home is." Gu Qingming was a little surprised.
"I don't know. Anyway, it just happened to appear on the windowsill when it was raining. Don't worry about it. It's fine."
"Ah That's good."
"Girl Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days, why don't you come to my house for a meal? Your Aunt Xu is making rice dumplings, so just come over and eat."
“…This…but I…” Xu Yuan was a little hesitant. After all, because of his relationship with Gu Qinghan, he always felt awkward going to his house.
"Don't say buts. Your father and I have a deep friendship after all. We have everything at home. You can bring Xu Zhi and a lot of fruits with you. Just come over. We didn't have time to take care of them last year, so we have to make up for it this year."
"Yes, Sister Xuyuan, it would be great if we could celebrate together as a family and have a lively time together." Gu Qingming chimed in.
Xuyuan thought for a moment and finally nodded.
You have to give yourself some time to face it.
He returned to the yard carrying many things and put the wheelchair on the corridor.
"Sister, it's time to eat. I have prepared the food," Xu Zhi poked his head out of the kitchen and greeted.
"Second sister, that's great. I'm starving. Big sister, please take me to wash hands." Xuanyi said excitedly and patted Xuyuan's shoulder.
After enjoying a simple lunch, everyone fell asleep accompanied by the sound of dripping rain.
Taking advantage of the nap time, Xu Yuan went to Gu Qinghan's small house in the county town. A white light suddenly appeared and the figure disappeared.
……
Lin'an County
The sun is shining brightly.
A group of people walked in from the city gate and went straight to Fumanlou.
Hu Zhanggui hurried over after hearing the waiter's message, and when he saw the visitor, he felt flattered.
"Miss...Miss, why are you here? Please come in." Hu Zhanggui first bowed and saluted, then led the visitor to the private room on the second floor.
"I came just as I thought of it. I'm starving, Uncle Hu, hurry up and serve me the best dishes here." An Zeyun was not polite at all. She found a stool and walked down, shouting rudely to Hu Zhanggui.
"Okay, miss, please wait a moment." Hu Zhanggui retreated respectfully and quickly ordered the waiter standing outside the door to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
I wondered in my heart, what wind brought this little ancestor here?
"Miss, have some tea." Qiuyu picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea for his young lady, then stood behind her.
"I always hear my brother mention this place. How can the Fumanlou here compare to the Fumanlou in Beicheng? Neither is as grand as the one in Beibeicheng." An Zeyun took a sip of tea and said with a pout.
"Miss, we have another mission this time, so don't forget it." Qiu Yu did not comment on his young lady's mumbling, but only reminded her indirectly.
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Anyway, there's no rush. I'll talk about it after I fill my stomach."
……
No one had been to the cottage for a long time, and the yard was covered with fallen leaves.
The weather was nice, but it was pretty desolate out here.
Xu Yuan took a broom and swept away the fallen leaves in the yard, then took the backpack in the yard and went out.
First, I went to the pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs. After all, there were not many spices needed to make the marinade packets at home.
Then I went to a pork shop and bought some fat, some meat bones and lean meat. The pork in the afternoon was not very fresh, but it was pretty good to eat. I wished I wouldn't be picky.
After putting all the things he bought into the backpack behind him, Xu Yuan turned around and walked towards Sanniang's clothing shop.
My sanitary napkins are almost gone, so I have to have some more.
I haven't been to Sanniang Garment Shop for a long time. If I hadn't seen this name on the plaque, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place.
The store is now much larger than before, and the clothing inside is well organized. Even menstrual napkins are placed in a special place.
There was only a very young girl sitting in the store. When she saw a girl carrying a basket come in, she didn't show any disgust on her face. She just nodded slightly at the girl to make a wish and didn't disturb her.
